Review of anything under the sun except food.

First World Hotel & Plaza

Posted on October 22, 2015October 24, 2015 By sweet surrender No Comments on First World Hotel & Plaza

Get to revisit Genting Highlands and stayed a night there. Good thing the hotel is refurbished… Phew… Stayed here back in 2008.


Left: As with almost 10 years ago, the lobby is still the same except now with a lot of self check-in and out machines. Such big hotel, you really need those. Salute those people maintaining and running the property. Not an easy job.

Right: The newly refurbished room. The bed and pillows were more comfy and the duvet is much better now too. Got the standard room located at the old wing.


The toilet configuration is really up to your luck. We had two different setups.

Left: The toilet, shower, and sink were all in one space. Normal configuration of any hotel room’s bathroom.

Two on the right: Toilet, shower, and sink were located separately at a corner. Same as the one I stayed in 2008.

The former was more comfortable to use, the latter was not that convenient and very narrow. I cannot imagine people who are very big size to squeeze into that tiny toilet and shower. I’m so petite and was feeling the space constraint already, cannot imagine really…

Another downside is the shower in general. The shower temperature was hard to adjust, a little adjustment can make a huge difference.

Oh! No view too. You’ll be seeing windows of another side hahaha… Who cares… Nothing can be seen at night anyway.

We requested for non-smoking floor, good thing we got it, at least our rooms were not smelling of cigarette. However, the corridor… Goodness… People just don’t care! They smoked there. So uncivilized.

I love how they have a water dispenser around the corner for refilling drinking water.

Overall, I’m satisfied with the stay. Cleanliness was there so it’s good.

Paying USD3.82 for these two rooms is a very good deal already. Hehehe… Total was USD28.82, I had enough points from one of the Online Travel Agent to get enough discount. Why waste? Of course utilize the benefit.


The new wing. Pay a bit more and you can get rooms at this wing. I was just too calculative to pay a bit more even though I had massive discount already. I was just praying high and low that the old wing’s rooms were refurbished. Took the risk and phew… Lucky!


Nothing change here… Still the same old same old when I came here for the first time in 2008.


A candy shop. Had fun seeing them making the candy.

Didn’t do much there but just walk around. We called it a night at around 8pm.


Breakfast at Nyonya Colors. Took the set. None of them in the photo on the left we liked… Tasted so-so. Very expensive breakfast. The only thing I like was the half-boil egg but it’s very expensive. Oh well… What to expect eating here? That’s their price range. I don’t remember how much but was definitely paying double to triple of the usual kopitiam‘s price.

After breakfast, we check-out. We drove down with very minimal visibility due to the fog. First time experience such fog. Rather scary but we reached the lower part of the mountain unscathed.

Goodbye Genting. Till I see you again but don’t know when LOL!

Etude Drawing Eye Brow

Posted on October 14, 2015 By sweet surrender 1 Comment on Etude Drawing Eye Brow


Totally forgot to blog about Etude Drawing Eye Brow. Got this almost a year ago. Using it everyday, took me about 10 months to finish using it. Now, I’m waiting for new one to come. In fact you should be able to get it from any Etude shop but I bought mine from Ebay. After conversion, it’s less than RM15, I’m sure it’s quite highly priced here.


It has two ends, one the liner, another the brush. I seldom use the brush though. Easy and simple to use. I got dark gray because black is just too black. However, gray black is still a bit too dark, so I have to use very light stroke when I draw my brow for more natural look. This time around, I ordered gray brown.

The head is slanted, it’s great for the brow. No sharpener needed, just twist it to reveal more product. Sweat and smudge proof. However, not recommended to go for swim, it’s gone after my swim.

Since I’m on my second purchase now, so yes… I do recommend it.

Benefit High Beam Face Highlighter

Posted on August 31, 2015August 31, 2015 By sweet surrender 1 Comment on Benefit High Beam Face Highlighter

It’s 31st August… How time flies! We are heading into September tomorrow! Today is Malaysia’s Independence Day. Enjoy the public holiday everyone! I’m not going to talk anything of this nature in this post. Just going to review this wonderful product I got, Benefit High Beam Face Highlighter.

I’m not sure how much it costs in Malaysia. My sister got this from UK, it’s priced at £19.50. Expensive! Fear not! This small bottle lasts forever as long that you tighten the cap after every use. You only need very little to achieve that glowing skin effect.

high beam creates that natural radiant glow you’ve always desired. It’s a a satiny pink highlighter that creates a young, radiant, fresh complexion on all skin tones. No self respecting make-up artist would be seen without it.


At first, I was quite hesitate to use it because was worry that the glow and the glitter might not be appropriate for normal daily use. After trying it out for the first time, I love the effect I saw in the mirror! WOW! Ever since then, it’s my must-have in my everyday makeup routine.

Normally I’ll just end my makeup with blusher. Now, before going for the blusher, I’ll dot and blend on my cheek bone, brow bone, and nose bridge. So lightweight and easy to blend. Great for any skin tone. Gave a very nice healthy and natural glow, love it when the light hits the areas. Amazing effect too can be seen from the photos. The face no longer looked so flat. Managed to cover up the pigmentation on my cheeks because of the glow.

Sometimes, if I’m going “natural”, no blusher, I’ll just apply this alone. Instant glow! You can also apply this after applying blusher if you want stronger effect. I prefer using it under so that will look more natural.

One application can last me one whole day. Doesn’t fade.


Left: With Benefit High Beam, very little makeup, no blusher. See the cheek bone and the nose bridge? The glow, not flat. Even my colleague was surprised with the glow I have, she thought my skin condition improved not knowing that it’s the effect of the product hehehe… *shhhh*

Right: Without Benefit High Beam, with makeup I normally wear to work taken before I was given with this product.

Great product! I highly recommended it. Price is a bit high but you are getting a great product that can last a very long time, only a little needed. 3 small dots on one side of the cheek bone only. Wonder how long will it take for me to finish the bottle.

NYX Doll Eye Mascara Waterproof Hydrofuge Extreme Jet Black

Posted on May 24, 2015May 26, 2015 By sweet surrender No Comments on NYX Doll Eye Mascara Waterproof Hydrofuge Extreme Jet Black

The mascara I’m currently using, only used it twice. One time for work, another for swim.


You can now get NYX brand from Sephora, tHe Spring, Kuching. Previously I reviewed its Jumbo Eye Pencil.


I decided to get NYX Doll Eye Mascara Waterproof Hydrofuge Extreme Jet Black because it’s cheap, less than RM20. Waterproof and smudge proof for normal wear because of the nylon fibers in there. However, it flakes a bit at the end of the day.

Not suitable for swim even it is waterproof. I was wearing my goggle, not as much contact with pool water yet it flakes and it got into my eyes, worst if you have contact lens on (I know, I know… You shouldn’t be wearing contact lens when swimming). Hence, this mascara is not suitable for swim.



No clumps and it sure lengthened and curled but not much. Didn’t add volume too.

Very easy to apply. The formula isn’t too watery or thick. The consistency is just nice.

As for ease of removal, not that easy to remove. It won’t give you panda eyes but rather messy with those flakes which might end up in your eyes. Definitely not contact lens friendly. Anyway, you should remove your contact lens before removing your makeup.

Will I repurchase? No due to the flaking issue. However, it’s is very affordable for everyday usage.

Vichy Aqualia Thermal Light Pot

Posted on April 12, 2015April 13, 2015 By sweet surrender No Comments on Vichy Aqualia Thermal Light Pot

I’ve been hearing a lot of good feedback about Vichy but only knew about it too late. This brand is no longer available in Malaysia since March 2012 for reasons that we have no idea of. So I asked my sister to get it from UK.

Vichy Aqualia Thermal Light Pot, 50ml (£16.00). Not that cheap really.

It claims that…

Vichy Aqualia Thermal Light gives, for the first time, Vichy Thermal Spa Water and a micro-encapsulated delivery system of Active Hyaluronine improve the diffusion of moisture into the surface of the epidermis.

The skin feels replenished with water, as if continuously hydrated by misting micro-sprays.The skin is intensely hydrated feeling soothed. It feels supple, refreshed and velvety soft, free of sensation of tightness all day long.The skin is more resilient, with increased suppleness and radiance.It’s effectiveness is proven on 100 women under dermatological control.

The light cream is refreshing and melts into the skin. Non-greasy and non-stick with no sensation of thickness. The Aqualia Thermal range helps fortify and soothe the skin giving it 24 hour hydrating care for use on dehydrated and sensitive skin. Intensely hydrated, the skin feels soother, refreshed and free from sensations of tightness.

Just like using sleeping mask except it doesn’t leave a layer on the face. I only apply this at night either on its own or after toner as I don’t have such luxury of time to apply it in the morning because it doesn’t absorb immediately. Once it melted into the skin, you can feel the softness and suppleness. Great to replenish the moisture loss being in the air-conditioning office during the day and at night. True to its claim. I also wake up with hydrated skin, no oiliness.

As for the smell, it’s not overpowering instead the smell is quite soothing and light.

There’s another version of this, Vichy Aqualia Rich Pot, I think would be too rich for me.

Conclusion, definitely a good product just too bad why it’s no longer being sold in Malaysia, there’s many users here in this part of the world. Why?

Also got another product from Vichy and will review it soon.
