Makeup Story

recently i went to a Maybelline New York Fashion Week Workshop and had the opportunity to meet really awesome people and importantly, i've learnt new looks we can make with makeup!

ahak!!
i know myself well enough that i'm not a makeup person.
i do wear them, but only at special occasions or events.
tu pun depends on my mood.

so at this workshop, i was taken aback with all the makeup, and for the first time in my life, i was actually excited!
ask Nisa and Cik Epal! i was sitting next to Nisa and practically ask her about all of Maybelline's products because.. let's face it. i don't own much makeup.
my basics are foundation, face powder, eyeliner, lip balm.
done.
but at the workshop, i was introduced to many more products which rupanya ada properties yang good for the skin! and from the workshop, tau la sedikit sebanyak techniques to wear them. myehehehe =p

anyway, more about the workshop, you can read them at Nisa's and MadamMondoq's blog on their experience =D

ehem.

few days ago, i had time, see. so i thought it'd be a good opportunity to make a makeup tutorial.
PLEASE PLEEEAAAAAASEEEE know that i'm not a professional make up artist, and i'm really noob at this!
but why am i so daring to share it?
sebab i boleh.
muahahah!
no la. because i thought, well, not all of us know how to wear makeup the right way. and there're so many tutorials out there but i know mine's annoying and full of gedik-buatan.
that counts for something. kot.

whatever.

=p

hope you enjoyed it nonetheless =)

jadi tak berlakon macam Michelle Phan?

=p

Thunder

Assalamualaikum~

it's raining really hard now, and along with the rain, are thunders and lightnings.

because of that, i feel like sharing this:

Surah Ar-Ra'd (Thunder)

13.11 For each one are successive [angels] before and behind him who protect him by the decree of Allah . Indeed, Allah will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves. And when Allah intends for a people ill, there is no repelling it. And there is not for them besides Him any patron.


13.12 It is He who shows you lightening, [causing] fear and aspiration, and generates the heavy clouds.


13.13 And the thunder exalts [ Allah ] with praise of Him - and the angels [as well] from fear of Him - and He sends thunderbolts and strikes therewith whom He wills while they dispute about Allah ; and He is severe in assault


*Indeed, Allah will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves.
please read the full Surah. i find it really amazing. like how besar kuasa Allah SWT and how everything happens with reasons only Allah SWT knows. =')


let's hope that we can change for the better =)
have a good day people!
and may you find the rain, thunders and lightnings not troublesome. heee..

ambil berkat

i think this is the first time i've attended a nikah of a friend. i felt very honoured to be part of it, more because i was Adriani's bridesmaid and i gave a speech! it was very impromptu and i majorly crapped myself out there. i was doing accents okay, and i don't think that's normal! haaha!! yanny, you asked for it!! =p

i didn't get to see the akad nikah but i was there before that (masa lunch hour tu! sempat!). demi kawan =)

the decorations of the room and her pelamin were simple yet very yanny-ish: they exuded softness and simple-girlishness. buat i rasa nak kawen je. muahahaha!

but oh the reception..

cantik yang amat!!!!

Yanny's dress was made by Jezmine Blossom and it was designed by both Yanny & Jezmine.

when i entered the dressing room, i was immediately taken aback by how beautiful the dress was!

and when Yanny had it on, 

voila!!

a princess was turned into a queen =')

pelamin cantik gila!

bridesmaids gila!

happy gila =')

i am utterly happy for you both and i feel blessed that i had the opportunity to know Yanny before she became a Mrs. hehee!

may Allah SWT bless this newlyweds and may their future be filled with love and happiness.

amin.

should you need to ask me when it'll be my turn?

all i can say, if Allah SWT izinkan, insyallah it'll happen. 

=B

yes, perasaan nak kahwin membuak buak tapi SABAR LAH WEI! hehee!!

Facial expressions you can't ignore

berlalulah sudah ramadhan, sebulan berpuasaa~

last year i didn't give duit raya as i only started working, but alhamdulillah, i've made up this year! my gandmas, aunts, uncles and young cousins were very excited to receive them from me! hehee! we were very joyous on Hari Raya, and i felt like such an adult. especially after giving my parents their duit raya!
mesti my family members rasa lega. for the past 23 years of my life, my family can finally stop giving me money. =p

my family ni gangsta sikit.
i'm the only girl among my siblings, so i am heavily influenced by my brothers.

here i want to clarify,
i don't know how to make that "do i look notty?" or "sebenarnya i nak kata i cute tapi i letak caption "omg buruknya i!! #sadface" so that people would tell me what i already know - i am cute" looks.

kalau i nak buat muka buruk, memang bersungguh sungguh i will memburukkan muka.

muka cute = tak awesome sangat.

muka annoying = awesome.

muka buruk = lagi awesome.

so this 'muka buruk' habit came from my brothers.
perlu i cakap lagi ke?
just see la.

proper pic. the one and only.

warming up.

sort of warmed up.

astaghfirullahalazim..

salam-salaman pun macam-macam gaya. Tokmak sampai excited gila tengok Ike.

so yeah.

thank you, my gigantic brothers!

korang memang awesome =p

though, se-gangsta muka buruk i, muka buruk my bros lagi buruk. 

Maaf Zahir & Batin dari si peliks.
