Of Those Beauty Tutorials..

Getting ready to work nowadays seems to be more time-dragging than usual. I gotta look good!. Looking fanstico.. Afterall, it is a male-dominated office and I ain't going to let their lackadaisical in dressing affect me into being a woman. Yes, a painful, biased point perhaps, coming from a female who would do anything just to look good enough for the crowd. An unknown crowd too most of the time. I don't think I have ever skipped a day with no proper make-up before going into office. 

Now that I am embracing the need to look prim and proper and hot (of course) at work (despite working *foreveralone* in the office), I think I am developing some serious shit case of water retention

a freaking 73kgs by NOW!! grandmother of god!! :(

I just don't know where those water comes from!!! And I would want to believe it is water and not poly unsaturated fats. Please no :(

I have been staying awake almost every night digging these inspirational make up tips from BeautyQQ and am totally addicted!! What happened to the 33 years old woman who is supposed to spend more time writing corporate shitzels!? -_-

The wonders of the online world is seriously killing me. So much to learn, so much to be inspired and so much to emulate!

Watching make up tutorials is like... watching Indian movies. They said that when you watch way too much Indian movies, you have a tendency to hope that the man of your life will always be as good looking as Amir Khan, as caring and lovey as Sharukh Khan and as macho as Hrithik Roshan. And that as a woman, one day, sooner or later, no matter how, you will fall unto the hand of a man with the mentioned 3 persona. But in most time, in real life, it doesn't get materialise...

The same with good beauty make up tutorial. Once you watched a couple of it, you start to get a hang of it and attempted the various form of technique taught and visually, emotionally, 'hallucina-cally' envision yourself being transformed.into super-duper-gorgeous-u-wanna-cry hot babe.. 

Queenie Chan of BeautyQQ is addictive and is so awe-inspiring that I literally and practically am late to work ever since I wacthed and emulate her tutorials -_-

I condone shaded eye make-up technique - or whatever you call it..

previously learn from Michelle Phan =D

did you realise I have a 'senget' eyebrow? :(

I am seriously considering cosmetic surgery, if I have not mention before in any post.

eyebrow so wrong...

most probably the thickest eyebrow ever done for a dance act..

still senget!!

the adverse effect of too many Youtube make up tutorial - you just got to see the after result of each tutorial learnt!

can't remember where I learnt this side-swept bangs from. Further enhance my sponge-bob's face...

not sure what is this for, but the first attempt on trying the new foundation i got from Borjois - the organic foundation made from melons and such... yeah, weird much but feels light and orgasmic!! >.<

Eyelining with kajal cone-stick <3

All of the made-up look above have been layered with a good spread of the Safi Balqis - Perfect 10 Beauty Cream before spreading of the Missha BB Cream or the Borjois Healthy Mix Foundation

One happy family- Borjois - Healthy Mix Foundation / Kajal cone / Ettusais Eyeliner

days without makeup and with a slightly better complexion.. or perhaps it's the sunlight..

the cheap and useful skin primer - Safi Balqis Beauty Cream at below RM8!!

I have tried smelling the Gold Series of the beauty cream and don't think I like the halia or whatever chemical smell in it. This is by far the best after the Wangi SP Cream which cost me RM35 a single palette ;)

But on most of the days when I am in the confinement of my small little house, I must say I looked like SHIT

pure shit like that...

OK, bye, I want to go watch more tutorials videos of make up and pole dancing... yes, pole dancing.. =P

Review : Safi Balqis Perfect 10 Beauty Cream

Yes, you read correctly - Safi Balqis ;)

I am not sure how many Chinese actualy uses these halal (it should be) produce that caters mostly for the Malays. I have never used any for the past 32 years of my life till of recent. I saw an ex-colleague who dabs a rather thick beige colored cream onto her face before the application of make up. Just a few slap of it and later evened out onto the entire face. She claimed to have used it since her secondary school years and she is now a mother of two and looked like 18. She is not that old anyway, at 24 or 25 I think. But her skin is flawless.

that pot of cream

before I had the magic cream on hand - uneven complexion tone as I have a combination skin type with oiliness reigning it.

I smelled the pot of cream and it smells exactly like this particular cream that the beautician where I get my facial done recommended me. It was the Wangi SP Cream or something. Of the same texture and smell!
But that cost RM35 for a small pot of it, equivalent to a pot of eyeshadow. The one that the ex-colleague used was a mere RM6!! Still got such cheap facial care and works meh!?

I decided to get myself a pot too at RM6! She said I can get it in any Giant, Tesco or anywhere practically. And I did, in Watson. If they do not have a tester for most of the make up and facial care, god knows which is the correct pot! It has most probably the commonest name of all - 'Krim Kecantikan' = beauty cream =_=

I got the Safi Balqis - Krim Kecantikan Perfect 10 retailing at a mere RM7+ and got discount somemore! So it cost  a mere RM5++ (good for people with not alot of money!). If it smells the same and it feels the same, it should be the same thing that I have once purchased at RM35 before. Maybe the Safi one would have contain some ginger, or onion extract or whatever, but how can it smell and feels exactly the same!? I am so assuming that they come from the same manufacturer in labis or Kulai or some rural area! and at RM7, you can afford to slather more than to stinge on it!

It is not one of the best texture to rub onto your face if you are not used to it. What I did was to apply it before the toner application got totally dried. At times when I can afford moisturiser (from sample sachets!), I put on the moisturiser first and before the same - apply on the beauty cream before your moisturiser gets all dried up. That way, you can easily blend it in.

Depending on your complexion tone, you would normally looked like a dead corpse after blending in. Unfortunately the beauty cream comes in only one shade and nothing else :)
As my colleague do have a complexion that is nearest to a corpse, she can easily get away by just using the beauty cream and layered with loose powder.

half way through using (night and morning view)

I am a make up junkie and also I am a shade darker than the corpse, hence I normally slather another layer of bb cream - Missha BB cream and then only loose powder ;)

still not finishing the small bottle

The beauty cream regardless of whatever brand it is functions to prevent pimples growth, acnes and blackheads. It is also nomally used as a base before putting on foundation. When I was introduced to the Wangi SP cream, I was told to also use it before sleeping for pimple curing. During daytime application, it is also supposed to be able to provide UV protection.

I have another friend who have been using the Wangi SP cream for more than 8 years and yes.. her complexion is fairer than a corpse and of course flawless! No pimples!

It's been the 3rd month and way to a more even shade of complexion!

 My verdict : As it is freaking cheap, am definitely going to continue using it and hoping that I can achieve the almost flawless complexion like my 2 friend, minus the corpse fairness. It is not a moisturiser, hence I suggest you still continue using a moisturiser before slathering on the beauty cream to get other beauty  benefits =D
I am not sure if it does provide any whitening effect, but it sure does even out my complexion's shade. But the best thing of all, it is a great primer, concealer or whatever term you call to provide a base before putting on foundation / bb cream.
As for the pimple / acne problem, I am yet to be able to determine if it does ward off any growth since I am hormonally driven to have pimples before the menstruation period -_-
I don't think anything can help when it comes to that eh..

And who says local produce are no good?
