So… So… Vain (12)

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on So… So… Vain (12)

I’m busy and frustrated. Busy with revision, exam this coming weekend, frustrated with my work because it’s taking freaking too long! Also being sandwiched in between is no fun! What is wrong with you people?!?! Anyway, I really don’t care for now, I have to take care of my exam first. I would have done my revision now if non of all these nonsense delaying me! Now, I still have so many to memorize, roughly covered 50% only! Sigh…


Anyway, I just realized I forgot to post this set of photos up, taken at home after got back from the photo session at tHe Spring for our photos to be put up on the wall for the Ambassador Hunt!


This is it! Up at tHe Spring, extremely huge photo of me at the shopping mall ;p Like I said last time, I’m gonna haunt you for don’t-know-how-long there. It never cross my mind or dream that I will have my photo up in public place *LOL* It’s one great experience.

Make up was by Stage, hairdo by Richard & Iris. The clothes we’re wearing for the photo session were our own.

Thorntons Milk Chocolate Turkish Delight (Rose Flavour)

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Thorntons Milk Chocolate Turkish Delight (Rose Flavour)

Always have plenty of chocolate at home. When my sister is back, even more came in ;p

Going to share Thorntons Milk Chocolate Turkish Delight(Rose Flavour) with you today. Rose flavoured Turkish Delight in smooth milk chocolate sounded interesting.

Taste wise? It’s basically similar to eating rose flavoured soft sweet coated with milk chocolate. I didn’t really like it. The outer layer of chocolate was fine but not the Turkish Delight inside. It left a layer of coat on the tongue which didn’t feel very comfortable. Not sure how to explain in English, in Hokkien is “siap siap“. Anyone has any idea how to explain such feel in English? ;p

You can check out Thorntons’ official website for more chocolates and drool over it ;p

Daiso Make Up Remover Wet Tissues

Posted on By sweet surrender 2 Comments on Daiso Make Up Remover Wet Tissues

My aunt bought Daiso Make Up Remover Wet Tissues from Singapore during her last trip there. I’ve been wanting to try to use wet tissues to remove make up but never got to it. So when I got this, I tried it out and I don’t like it. Not sure how much it cost though.

It’s not effective in removing heavy makeup, not suitable for use on the eyes too. It stung like crazy! -.-” My eye really hurt when I accidentally got it into my eyes when I wanted to remove my mascara. Luckily I had removed my contact lens that time. The instructions also stated that it shouldn’t be used when you are wearing contact lens. It couldn’t remove the mascara and eyeliner easily too. One wipe as claimed on the packaging didn’t work for me.

So I only use this when I have very light make up on and also avoid the eye areas.

L’Oreal Lash Architect Carbon Gloss Mascara / CIL Architecte Carbon Gloss

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on L’Oreal Lash Architect Carbon Gloss Mascara / CIL Architecte Carbon Gloss

My sis is back, when she’s back, I would have more makeup and skincare products to play with. I had tried out tonnes of them last year but I was silly enough that I deleted all the photos because I thought I had already transferred them earlier but I didn’t. -.-” So I got nothing to share at all.


I don’t think you can find L’Oreal Lash Architect Carbon Gloss Mascara / CIL Architecte Carbon Gloss here. My sis bought it from UK. It’s waterproof but not oil proof, means it’s going to smudge and give you panda eyes at the end of the day. It smudged on me after 6 hours of using it.

Discover Lash Architect Carbon Gloss for dramatic, ultra-black lashes to last you through the night. Lashes look longer and thicker from every angle thanks to the ‘3D effect’ formula, while the patented spiral brush gives volume and separation from root to tip.

The waterproof formula allows a smudge free, long-lasting result. With carbon black pigments this is our glossiest, blackest mascara yet!


Left: Bare lashes.

Right: With L’Oreal Lash Architect Carbon Gloss Mascara. It did lengthen, I was amazed with the lengthening ability.


Left: Can you see every single strand of lash? Even my lower lashes too. Well… Effect was good but really not recommeded for lower lashes if you are the kind that prone to smudges.

Right: It seems so much longer and as if I applied many coats but I only had 2 coats on. It seems like it also pumped up the volume of the lashes. It also gave the effect of glossy strands of lashes. Interesting.

I found out that it’s hard to remove from various reviews but I didn’t encounter this problem at all. It’s quite easy to remove for me.

Of all the mascaras I had tried, this one gave the most dramatic effect. Will I buy it? Unless it doesn’t smudge on me, can’t get it here anyway, so no point ;p

Big Apple Donuts Donashi

Posted on By sweet surrender 3 Comments on Big Apple Donuts Donashi

Saw Donashi in the newspapers and it seems so interesting, so cute! Happened that I went to tHe Spring yesterday and it was my sister’s birthday, we decided to buy 28 donushi as her birthday cake.

Left: 28 Donushi cost RM28, 18 Donushi cost RM23. This is the new product from Big Apple Donuts and Coffee. The empty space in the middle was for the chocolate sauce. Since we saw 14 names on display but actually only 13 types available, so we decided to get 2 for each type. Who knows… After we paid, new batch came out! They gave us 4 Do-Futomaki. Should ask them to hold on to it until new batch came out so we won’t have too many duplicates.

DONASHIâ„¢, donuts dressed like sushi, with new and out of this world flavours. Every piece is cream filled wall to wall for that rich and delighting experience everyone deserves.

These extremely sushi-licious donuts will be available tomorrow at all Big Apple Donuts & Coffee outlets nationwide! East Malaysia fans please be patient as you can only get your hands on them on 11th June 2010.

Important: No animals or fish were used or harmed in the production of the DONASHIâ„¢. The makers of this confectionery affirm that the product is suitable for Vegetarians.

By the way, the following Donushi looked very messy because we accidentally tilted the box when got out of the car ;p These are just some of them that I managed to take photos of.

Right: DO-TAKUWAN, feel the passion of papaya.


Left: DO-IKURA, orange pellet gels juggling for attention.

Right: DO-NARUTO, enhanced with Strawberry Chocolate maze


Left: DO-FUTOMAKI, kiwi fruit filing, Strawberry and Vanilla battle for supremacy as Orange bits take centre stage.

Right: DO-KAPPA, kiwi with subtle Chocolate.


Left: DO-IKABURI, coconut Vanilla with Chocolate lacings.

Right: DO-TAI NIGIRI, the all Vanilla favourite with Coconut and Orange bits.


Left: DO-TAKO, a fill of Vanilla, a thrill of Strawberry, a spill of chocolate.

Right: DO-SAKE, strawberry complemented by lacings of Coconut delight.

So? Very cute huh? I’m not sure whether I’ll buy it again. No doubt it’s something unique and interesting. Taste wise, it’s just Big Apple Donuts of different shape and designs. Have you try? If not mistaken, it doesn’t available at night and it’s on first come first serve basis.
