Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner

I got Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner from Zalora because of the voucher given to me for attending Zalora press function last month.


I decided to give it a go on Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner. It is priced at RM65. I won’t even think of buying eyeliner at this price, if not for the voucher. This is because I’m afraid that it won’t work and spending RM65 for it will be a waste. My eye makeup smudged a lot! Hence, it’s not easy for me to decide on what to buy especially mascara and eyeliner.


Slim body, great for my small hand to handle.


The felt tip, just what I like! Very fine, very easy to control. Can go to the corner of the eyes without mess. No tugging too. It just glides on with no effort. Since the tip is very fine, it is great for drawing very fine line or build up to thick line. Great for drawing cat eye and easily goes on the waterline too.

Smudges a little after 9 hours, just very little, not much of an issue for me. However, it’s 100% waterproof! Didn’t even budge after my 2 hours swim! Removing it is a little difficult as it some what smeared all over the lid. I’m fine with it though. To me, the most important is smudge proof and waterproof.

Certainly will repurchase. Price is a bit high but if the quality is good, why not? Let’s see how long this liner will last me with almost daily use.

Citizen Eco-Drive Silhouette Watch EW8690-53A

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Citizen Eco-Drive Silhouette Watch EW8690-53A

My Fossil watch had served me for years and finally it’s having problem. Changed battery twice, the third time, it started to show problem. Not sure whether it was damaged by the person who changed the battery or the lifetime is over. It’s quite impossible, less than 5 years and generally analogue watch can last a long time. Had no proof to say that they damaged it as I only realized after got home with no receipt from them too, so decided to just let it be, couldn’t wear it anymore, I just put it at my bedside to tell me the time. If wearing it, it might stop, guess the contact in there might have problem. So I had to get a new watch.


Hunted for one high and low and ended up buying Citizen Eco-Drive Silhouette Watch EW8690-53A back in June.

Why? I don’t want to deal with battery anymore! In fact I was eying a Seiko solar powered watch with stone set bezel, it was a very good deal but it ran out of stock so I got this. The second choice.


Do you notice something? Maybe the picture is too small to tell hehehe… I didn’t realize it’s only two-hand instead of three. Means there’s no seconds hand. Was shocked when I saw it, first time in my life! 😛 I was thinking, how on earth will it move, then suddenly I saw the minute hand moved. Sounds silly huh?

It’s so small and light, just nice for my small wrist. Not used to wear a watch this light as the previous one was rather heavy and big. Actually was expecting it to be bigger as I couldn’t find the measurement. I just asked my sister to get it for the sake of getting a watch without battery in my budget range. Lucky for the discount else I won’t get it and might end up with normal watch. Original price was £129, after discount it was £80.85.

Too bad though, with constant use, lots of scratches on the smooth surface now. Do you have any idea what kind of material for watch that won’t scratch, not leather or plastic or rubber. I prefer something metal. Maybe will get one next year.

The two-hand is a bit weird, it takes time to get used to it. The downside will be you won’t be able to count the seconds.

The watch is water resistant but only for normal use, not suitable for swimming. I won’t use this for swimming too because it’s just to pricey to swim with hahaha…

So far, it’s serving me well. Not much of an issue. Love the lightness of it. Don’t quite like the design though, nothing unique. Just normal.

Overall, I don’t mind the money spent on it. Just hope it will last for at least 5 years or longer. Simply because it’s a Citizen.

Clarins Instant Eye Make-up Remover (Waterproof and Heavy Make-up)

Posted on By sweet surrender 3 Comments on Clarins Instant Eye Make-up Remover (Waterproof and Heavy Make-up)

It’s October! One more month to Perth!!

Ok… Enough of food and event posts for the time being. Going to post about skincare product.

I managed to try out Clarins Instant Eye Make-up Remover (Waterproof and Heavy Make-up) and the result is amazing!

Clarins Instant Eye Make Up Remover is a refreshing dual-phase lotion that uses soothing Rose and Cornflower extracts and ultra-fine oils to help smooth away waterproof mascara and heavy eye make-up instantly and completely, leaving the skin with no trace of residue. Suitable for even the most sensitive eyes or contact lens wearers. – See more at: http://www.clarins.com.my/en/instant-eye-make-up-remover/C010101004.html#sthash.SYm7Ftd4.dpuf


True to its claim, makeup can be easily removed. Even waterproof. What’s more, I tried all possible eye makeup remover, nothing can easily remove Maybelline Hypercurl Volum Express Cat Eyes, removing it is a pain in the arse! However, Clarins Instant Eye Make-up Remover does it easily, no tugging, no rubbing, no effort at all and it’s gone!

The scent is refreshing. Doesn’t sting or make your vision blur too. Not oily at all.

This is by far the best makeup remover I ever tried. However, the price isn’t that kind to the pocket. This is the only set back. Not sure how much is the price in Malaysia though, it’s selling USD28 in the US. I got this as sample from my sister who got it from UK.

Langkawi (11 – 14 May 2014) – Part 1

Posted on By sweet surrender 3 Comments on Langkawi (11 – 14 May 2014) – Part 1

Last month, went to Langkawi for a short getaway. Exactly 3 months after I started work. Seriously needed a break and this came at the right time. Flight ticket for return trip was so cheap! Less than RM150 from Air Asia, no check-in luggage. Direct Kuching to Langkawi. Very worth it!


It’s my first trip with this group of friends, we only got to know each other on this trip. Out of 5, I only know 2 of them. All 6 of us on this trip, 3 girls, 3 guys.


We rented a car. You seriously need a car to move around Langkawi or you will have to hire someone to drive to go everywhere. It’s not that hard to drive there, the island is small too.


Views on the way to our motel at Kuah.


Arrived our accommodation but was shocked at first as there’s temple there. Were we in the right place? Is this a staying place or is this a temple? It’s correct. Not wrong. This motel is actually housed in the Hock Kien Kong Huay building. The temple is part of the Hokkien association.

Also, do not expect you’ll be greeted by a receptionist. You had to call the number displayed on the card on the table found there to get someone to come out to process your check-in.


View from our corridor.


The girls got Family Room that could fit 4 while the guys for Triple room. Lucky us hehehe… The 3 big guys had to squeeze in a small room while we 3 tiny girls in a big room ;p For all 6 of us, we split the room rental and each only paid RM100 or RM110 (don’t quite remember) for 3 days without breakfast! So cheap!!

They have water dispenser at the staircase if you need water. This is good enough. Must drink plenty of water while traveling what’s more Langkawi was extremely hot last month!


The shower and toilet are in one, very spacious. Towels are provided. Generally the place is clean enough for the price you’re paying.


After check-in, we went to hunt for lunch.


We went to Langkawi Parade which is not too far from our staying place to hunt for lunch while surveying the prices of the items.


Had beef burger at MC Corner. This is only RM3.80! Super duper filling! The size was bigger than expected. Not a very bad deal. Taste was ok too.


The view of the sea from the carpark. Isn’t it pretty?

Part 2 will come soon *finger crossed*

Coach is Finally in Kuching

Posted on By sweet surrender 5 Comments on Coach is Finally in Kuching

First of all, Happy Gawai and happy holiday! Long weekend… YAY!

So I missed out the trip to Ba’kelalan but it’s not all that bad as I could attend Coach opening at tHe Spring.


Finally Coach is in tHe Spring. 1st June, Coach opening was officiated by the Vice President and General Manager of South East Asia, Andrew Stanleick. The bald guy, he reminded me of an actor. Pretty good looking. 😉 Have photo taken with him but it’s not in my camera.


While waiting, we had some fun at the photo booth.


Left: Not forgetting the wall.

Right: So… Which one?


The invited guests in the outlet. I was eying for some of the bags I found back in Bicester Village last year but couldn’t not locate any. I guess it’s no longer in season or because this outlet only carries the latest collection? Hmm…


Saw some sunglasses and tried them on. Hmm… Which one? I like the aviator but seems like this aviator doesn’t suit my face.


The part I look forward to the most was the door gift!!


Coach Legacy North/South Universal Case in Leather.

TADA!! Goodness! I’ve been looking for a bag for my phone as mine had worn out long ago. Didn’t find any that fancied me and the size that could fit my phone. This came in time! I’m a very happy girl today! Thanks Coach! The colour is awesome too! Love it!


Might as well write a review on it now. The strap is what I’ve been looking for while there’s a slot at the back of it. The exterior design is very simple and plain, just what I like.


Inside, the slots are great for cards and money! No longer need to bring a big bag out. Will be handy during my work too as my jacket got no pocket. I can slot in my business cards and also my phone and I’m ready to go. Great for running errands too! I’m over the moon! What’s more? Fit my phone nicely as my phone size is a bit odd, not easy to find a bag for it.

However, one down side, the zip opening is limited. If it can go all the way down it would be perfect! A bit hard to take my phone out from it.


Happy! This is the exact colour that I would buy if I’m buying for my phone.

I guess we’ll be seeing more Coach users in town soon? Will I get one? Not for now, this one from the door gift is enough for me for now.
