Light, natural and dewy makeup for college- My new face routine and drugstore dupes!

Hi everyone!

It's Friday and i can't wait to see my hubby later tonight. We are going back to my hometown (Kedah) tomorrow morning to visit my dad and granny. Oh i miss them so much!

Today i just wanna share with you my new face routine, which is really simple and takes only about 5 minutes. This is a requested look by some of my followers from younger age group (they are like my own sisters- Fathin, Nita, Miera, Bella, Naz and some of their friends who have been my loyal readers. TQ darlings!)

I know some of the products cost a bit more than other drugstore brands and i personally think that students don't have to spend all of their money for high-end makeups. You can use other drugstore products that are actually great for dupes too!

At 8 a.m

And 8 hours later....

8 hours later - 5pm (no touch-ups except for lipgloss)

 After 8 hours, my makeup is still there although my face is shinier compared to the 1st photo. I tend to get oilier around my T-zone, which is quite common and it happens to other people too.

I also listed some drugstore dupes for every makeup i use. You can go and try some of these dupes, and see which one suits you BEST! :)

Golden Smokey Arabian Look featuring my BFF, Saeidah

Today i made some dinner for Hubby, Farra, my BFF and her BF..
I cooked Pasta with Mushroom Cream Sauce, apple crumble for dessert, and my BFF made my all time favourite fruit and jelly cocktail!

So while we were waiting for the rest to get home, me and my BFF played with some makeup... just to kill the time before i put in some shrimps into my cream sauce...i want my shrimps to be "sweet and tender" ..hehehe..

She requested for an Arabic look that's great for dinners or night functions, because as you all might know, smokey look and dark colours are not that appropriate for daytime wear...

Au naturel~

and After the makeover...

~A ♥ ♥ ♥ Package From A Special Friend ~

I am EXTREMELY HAPPY today, yesterday and last TWO days!

I can't wait for the weekend to get my hands on hubby's DSLR, so i had to use my nostalgic and antique digital camera (a gift from my late mom) that i love and still have till today.
Sorry for the "not so sharp" pics. And the reason why i couldn't wait till Friday comes is because this love package has made me the happiest girl on earth!

My decision to be a "small time blogger" was not a bad decision after all. The support i got from my loved ones was another factor that helped me to gain the strength and confidence to do this as well. I would like to thank my Hubby for his blessings, DSLR ^_^ and LOVE, my sis Farah and brother Shafeeq for being my model, for giving me endless support, ideas and helping me in making my blog looks like a blog (i'm IT blind if u wanna to know) haha, my best friend Idah for her ideas, criticism, and courage, my dear friends on FB and all over the world, and my dear blogger friends that I met during my 4months here in the blogging world!

I never thought that blogging would be so much fun. The most fun part to me is that bloggers can make really good friends here and it's really hard for me to find "true friends" in my own real world. The main factor is that since i am a final year Med student, i don't really go out and hang around with people a lot {except on weekends when i go to meet Hubby in KL and he brings me out to meet his friend (that are also my friends now) and  my girlfriends}. My friends that i have now are the friends i met in primary school, high school or matriculation. Yes i don't have MANY good friends since i like to have the QUALITY rather than QUANTITY.

Lemme introduce all of you to my dear gorgeous blogger friend, Ashley. I can't remember exactly how i reached her blog but i'm glad i did. Since then, i became her follower and a fan. She is the most funny person and you can tell that by reading her entries (they actually made me laugh so hard because she is such a genuine person). Her blog is a really fun one, and Ashley is really good in making her readers to feel so connected to her. Although you may not now her personally, but you can feel the good vibe from the great personality that she has.

As i was reading ALL of her entries, i came across one that was about NYX products. Ashley and her blogger friend made some orders from Cherry Culture and she bought extra NYX lipglosses and jumbo pencils and was willing to let go of some of her items because she had the same ones for herself (she told me that since the postage fee from the States costs about RM50-60, so every product is worth your money if you buy more). So i ordered 2 NYX lipglosses and 2 NYX jumbo pencils from Ashley, and got her parcel last 2 days.. You can read the story behind the scene by clicking HERE.


Let me warn you again that these pics were taken with my digital camera so the quality might not be that great..

One of the happiest moments of my life ^_^
