Top 5 Checklist You Should Know Before Taking A Short Break from the Work Force

This is a topic that I’ve been wanting to talk about a few months ago after I took a short break from working. I didn’t want to post this up when I’m still on a break and now that I’m back to work, I thought I could share with you on how I managed to stay work-free and still living a normal life.

When I left my last employment end of January 2014, I had a clear mindset of what I want and what I wanted to do. It was suppose to be just a 3-4 months break but life was getting so comfortable and stress-free that I didn’t think I’d go back to work at all! I still browse through Jobstreet once in a while (when I remember), went for interviews and all until I really found the one job that I can see myself into. There are so many articles out there that provide a thorough guide and advise on how to quit without a job AND surviving it so I’m not going deep into that. I’m going to share with you my version of Top 5 Checklist that you’d never expect at all, until you go through it yourself. Bear in mind these are just my personal experience and everyone is different so do take this checklist with a pinch of salt.

Urban Decay Pulp Fiction™ Eyeshadow Palette: An all-in-one palette that you’ll never need to reach out for others to complete a look

I never quite get the excitement on Urban Decay Pulp Fiction™ Eyeshadow Palette until I started using a few weeks ago. Let’s be honest here. It’s certainly not a love at first sight when I first saw the palette appearing all over YouTube a few months ago. After watching numerous Mrs. Mia Wallace-alike makeup transformation video, I still don’t get what’s the deal with the palette. It looks normal on the front, doesn’t make me scream upon looking on the inside and the shades are…..normal.

Urban Decay Pulp Fiction Eyeshadow Palette
Here’s a fact. I was kinda nervous when I was sent the Urban Decay Pulp Fiction Eyeshadow Palette to try #notasponsoredreview because this is a full on neutral, smokey palette, which also mean there is no other color to play with. Although I’ve been dipping my toes into neutral shades lately but I still dab on at least one color to balance the look. It’s like a personalized makeup technique of mine 🙂 . Can you imagine how nerve wrecking it is for me not to be able to play with colors? lol.

SEPHORA Malaysia relaunched its Loyalty Program with the introduction of SEPHORA Black Card

Two days ago I received a SEPHORA newsletter and the title ‘You’ve Been BLACKLISTED’ gave me a shock, thinking what have I done that I’m blacklisted by SEPHORA. It turns out that SEPHORA is relaunching their Loyalty Program with the introduction of SEPHORA Black Card. Now, that’s one catchy heart pumping title that can make any beautyholic clicking into their email in a split second.

I was invited over to SEPHORA Sunway Pyramid to get blacklisted and at the same time enjoying all the benefits and activities as a SEPHORA member. It’s kinda exciting for me because all these while I only zoom into SEPHORA to buy something that I want and then zoom out. I have no idea there is so much activities happening in the store from time to time. So let’s follow me as I see it through the eyes of a SEPHORA member.

Sephora Black Card Launch 1
The new SEPHORA Black Card with its new tagline “Look Good In Black” enables you to earn shopping points across three countries namely Malaysia (RM5 = 3 points), Singapore (SDG1 = 1 point) and Thailand (THB25 = 1 point). Members will also get to enjoy birthday surprises, VIP access to private sales, events or workshops and also 10% savings for every 250 points. It’s simple to get ‘blacklisted’ to become a Black Card member. Anyone who has an accumulated 250 points in their SEPHORA White Card account will be upgraded to SEPHORA Black Card automatically. You will then get your personalized SEPHORA Black Card Welcome Pack through the mail instead of having to walk into selected SEPHORA store to collect. This is what they called as taking Beauty To The Next Level! Keep an eye on your post box beginning October 2014 onwards 😀

Top 6 Beauty Counter Secrets

Weekends are my absolute favourite days of the week because that is the day where I get to do my beauty rounding at KLCC. I know I’m suppose to move around malls for beauty rounding but I’m totally hooked to the newly renovated Isetan over at KLCC. I also find all the BA there are much more friendlier and polite. That is why I keep going back to Isetan KLCC. Oh and the ladies parking there is the best. Last time if I go KLCC around 2pm, all the parkings are full. Ever since the ladies parking section existed, I can go KLCC anytime as there will always be parking for me 🙂

Now, beauty counters horror story. We’ve all been there, done that. I started dipping my toes into beauty through sampling. Took the sample home, tried it on, wow-ed by the result and return for a purchase. But the reality is most BA at these beauty counter usually gives us a very hard time. Up until a few years back beauty counters at departmental store are deemed as “premium” or luxury or even expensive brands. Now everyone can afford it. Having to be one of the person who deal with beauty counters from time to time, let me share with you my Top 6 Beauty Counter Secrets that your friendly BA won’t tell you.

Disclaimer: This is just my personal experience. It does not mean ALL brands and counters are the same.

My Guerlain Meteorites Perles Collection

I feel so bummed out that I wasn’t able to post up Little Black Box review as I wasn’t happy with the individual product photo. I suppose I’m too used to take beauty product photo that I’m clueless on fashion accessories? I am not kidding when I said that. It’s depressing lol. There’s no backup plan at all. I usually have a clear mind set and mentality well-prepared on what to blog for which particular day. For the first time I didn’t know what to blog about! Not knowing what to talk about for the day drives me cray cray 🙁

Just when I was about to shut my laptop and call it a night, I’ve decided to look through both my camera’s memory card and search if there is anything that I have taken photo but have not blog about. Then I found these! My long overdue Guerlain Meteorites Perles collection :D. Get ready for some eye candy peeps!

Guerlain Meteorites Perles
I’m a late bloomer when it comes to Guerlain Meteorites Perles. Why not, right? I mean just look at the price tag. It’s no wonder I don’t mind being a late bloomer at all. It took me quite a long time to finally get my heads around the product and the price.
