2013; let's do this!

To be honest, I'm still feeling a tad in disbelief that 2012 is coming to an end in just a few hours, cause it felt like yesterday when 2012 just started. Time is passing too fast that I can hardly catch up sometimes.

Looking back, my 2012 in retrospect has been bittersweet but one thing for sure, I've never imagine it to turn out the way it is right now. Definitely not my year, but life goes on. Despite the bitterness, I'm still thankful for  all the good things that had happen, thankful for the family that is always there to support me, thankful for the friends who stay and be there when I need them, thankful for the new friends that I've met, thankful for my blog readers and generous sponsors that keep this blog alive, thankful for the different places that I've been this year, thankful for the experiences that makes me grow and stronger, thankful for the sweet memories that I once had and even thankful for the random strangers that made my day. So farewell 2012, it's been one hella challenging journey but I'm glad I survived the 366 days. This 2013, I resolve to have no resolutions but to live everyday to the fullest. Time to end the sadness and just be happy. Time for a change and to be able to start over with a clean start, happy & carefree (´∀`) But then again, I wonder what will 2013 bring me. We shall see!

Note to self: When in doubt, keep calm and kitty on!

May 2013 be better for me and all of us ヽ(*≧ω≦)ﾉ Happy New Year, ehverybardy! *pops confetti*

P/S: Been thinking to start on Project 365 for 2013, what say you? HEH

FV stocks more than 150 local designers and brands as well as some around the South East Asian region. They have a wide array of products not only available for females but for the hunks too (; not forgetting bold and funky accessories and beauty cosmetics to complete the whole IT look. 

 Fashion Valet steals the spotlight as Malaysia's hottest online shopping website with ready to wear garments, accessories and handbags, from chic classic, designers to edgy statement pieces. 

Even I can spend hours deciding what to get for myself cause I was spoiled with too much choices to choose from! It will make you go "Oh I want that" then after clicking the next page, "Ah wait, I want that too".

My hauls were shipped out the next day I placed my order and I got it on the following day itself, speaking of efficiency! Oh, did I mention that they provide free shipping nationwide(!), and fret not if you're out of the country cause they do ship globally as well depending on the weight of your parcel. Now, lemme share with you the items that I got for myself :D

Even the parcel is so fashionably wrapped ;D that I had to unwrap it in style. I was so happy to find my items nicely packaged in plastic and paper, everything is still in excellent condition when I opened the parcel. 

#1.Lave Floral Pumps in Purple 
This pair of heels is just ahhhhhh love at first sight! Such an eye- catcher that I told myself I must get them the moment I saw them. How can one resist floral pattern, I know I can't. 

I've tried them on and they are so comfortable despite the fact it was a tad tight for me. Can't wait to wear this baby out!  

#2.Studded Collar Skull Shirt in Beige 
Somehow I'm still having the stud fever so this piece is a must get for me :P  It even has studs embellishment at the back too. 

This top has a unique pastel coloured skull and floral print (again HEH IKR) that will definitely make a statement to your outfit! My friends were shocked when they saw this piece but I was thinking of trying something different so hopefully I can pull off this glam rock chic look (: 

 Besides from their good quality products, FV will not disappoint you with their top-notch customer service that prioritise and caters to all their customers' needs!

SexyLook Extra Brightening Duo Lifting Mask Review

Need extra brightening? Need to chase away those fine lines? Introducing the new 3D Sexylook Extra Brightening Duo Lifting Mask, claimed to be the No 1. best selling 3D mask in Taiwan!  Not only does it helps in brightening and keeping your face more radiant, it helps to reveal the translucency and lift your skin as well! What's even better? Resulting in a sharper V-line face! Who doesn't want a V-line face, you tell me :P

Sexylook Extra Brightening Duo Lifting Mask now comes in a box with 5 masks!
Love the fact that they actually have instructions in English along with diagrams as well. 

The mask was soaked with generous amount of essence yet no worries about having the essence dripping all over your clothes. Surprisingly, this mask is fragrance-free (: 

What's so special about this mask is that it has hooks for both ears (OMG, IKR!) so that it's secured to your face throughout your 15-20 mins of pampering sesh, you can even jump up and down without fearing that the mask will fall over :P 

They have this extra flap that covers the chin area which comes with another pair of hooks as well and I supposed this is where the lifting takes place because I can feel that the mask is secured and tight after placing all the hooks over my ears. I was so scared that I might tear the mask while trying to have the hooks to reach my ears, but the material turns out to be quite sturdy although less thick compared to Lovemore My Melody 3D mask.   

Anothe plus point of this mask is that it covers almost the entire part of my face, unlike some masks that has huge holes around the eyes, nose and mouth but this face fits me perfectly well. Perhaps I have the typical asian face size LOLOL and did you notice that my chin was covered too? (Y) 

The results? Similar to Lovemore My Melody 3D mask, the essence absorbed pretty fast after removal and there is no sticky aftermath :D  It does brighten up my dull complexion a little but even better, my face felt moisturized and refreshed. The mask is suitable for sensitive skin like mine, since there is no breakout or itchyness after using it. And there is indeed a slight V-line effect, even my friends said so but of course it wasn't that long-lasting. But who knows after a few applications, there might be a difference. I guess no harm trying it, right? (; I can't wait to use till the last piece and see the difference myself *imagining myself with a obvious V-line face HEH

Good thing that it's now available in Malaysia too! Hurry and visit your nearest Watsons outlet (RM 23.10 per box; quite reasonable I would say) or visit their website at www.secretive.sg to purchase online. You can like and check out more details at SexyLook FB page too! :D

Every girl deserved to be pampered so comm'on, give that face of yours some tender, loving and care, will you? (ʃƪ´⌣`)
