Hi Everyone! I am soo soo Excited! because today, for the very first time I am going to do a beauty review! YAYYY!! Ive been wanting to do this but time was being a bitch. Ok so, my first beauty review will be on.. Lipsticks/Lipgloss! How excited are weeeeee! Girls are spoilt with variety of makeup choices and brands. But my favourite has got to be the Lips part. I love Eye makeup and all, but I go more crazy on Lips Products!

I felt like of all my make up must haves.. I truly cant live without Lipbalm and Lipstick. I personally prefer Matte Lipstick rather than glosses or sheer ones. I feel like Matte Lipstick give your lips a more define and sexy shape.. it is simply just a perfect finish on your face! I really feel naked without anything on my lips. Even when Im at home, I'll be wearing either my Nivea Fruity Gloss Lip Balm or my EOS lip Balm. Yes. Im that Addicted. My lips feel unprotected if there isnt anything on it :s That is also one of the reason why I never had dry or chapped lips.

Ok. I shall stop this ranting and get on with my reviews. First I will be reviewing on my FAVOURITE MATTE LIPSTICK. Consequently, I will review on my FAVOURITE SHEER LIPTICK .. and lastly, I will be reviewing on my FAVOURITE LIPGLOSS AND LIPBALM.

So introducing my 4 favourite Matte Lipstick that I simply cant survive with. Its my ULTIMATE must have. As you can see, the colours are all very pink and earthy tones. I feel like these are some of the few colours that compliment my complexion perfectly.

1] Revlon Matte in Smoked Peach [013] : This one is my favourite from REVLON. It glides so smoothly and the colour is nicely pigmented. Even if you have dark lips, the colour turns out just great. It is so MATTE! I love how the colour is not so orangy peach but beige peach! ^^ The staying power is also awesome. I highly recommend this to girls who loves matte lipstick and dont like to touch up often! Plus its only about $15. Very affordable and good!

2] Dior Rogue in  Beige Cendre [247] : This is one is Amazing! However compared with the Revlon Matte Lipstick, this one is slightly creamier. I absolutely love this colour because it is beige with a pink undertone. Gives you the nudey yet glowy look. The colour is very close to a Mauve colour. This lipstick is special because it contains vitamins for Voluptous Care. I do recommend this to people who likes to use lipstick yet they want to care for their lips. It is about $40.

3] Elf Lipstick in Flirtatious . This one is worth the money! It is sooooo cheap yet soooo good! this creamy matte lipstick has a yummy strawberry taste and smell. The colour is highly pigmented too. Its just great! This pink colour is very bright. Kinda like a barbie pink. Its quite loud because of its pink barbie bright colour, so your eye make up and all has to be minimal. But other than that, it is a MUST HAVE! it cost me only $4! how awesomeeeee.

4] NYX in Angel. I too , love this colour! Its sorta like a bright pink colour with a little touch of orange. So its kinda like a perfect summer lipstick if applied just one layer. If you apply more than 2 layer, it will give you a louder look, sort of like a couture look. Very glamorous. The colour is very pigmented. Even after you wash your makeup, it will your lips a slight tint. Its like a perfect matte lipstick costing me only $10!

MY SHEER LIPSTICKS, all in Dior.

1] DIOR SERUM DE ROGUE [650] - This lipstick contains serum for your lips. So it doesnt only make you look good but it actually does good for your lips too. Especially for dry lips! The colour is actually pigmented too. It gives off a sheer , glossy look because of the serum. Therefore, this is actually one of my favorite lipstick. Because at times when i feel like my lips need a perk me up, I will use this because of the benefits. Its also truly moisturising If im not wrong , it cost about $45-$50. I cant remember. The colour is like pink rose wood. Very sophiscated because the colour its not girly sweet but , i think, very womanly.

2] DIOR SERUM DE ROGUE [560] - Another one of this lipstick cause its amazing. This colour is the sweeter, girlier version of the previous one. Medium Pinky colour. Oh, to add on, I LOVE THE LIPSTICK PACKAGING. very very nice. Its long and its decorated with the trademark iconic DIOR stitches.

3] DIOR ADDICT HIGH SHINE [248]- This one also has an attractive packaging. Very stylish and modern. The colour is so so sheer, Very natural and a little glittery. Its moisturising and hydrating. Very "Young". The colour is a sweet , light, natural pink. I like this because sometimes when i dont want to wear lipgloss, I'll just layer my lips with this. It cost $42.

Now, lastly, Im going to do a review of my Ligploss!! weehee! A mix brand of Dior, RMK and Anna Sui

I have to be honest. I HATE LIPGLOSS! omg . No not really. I kinda have a hate love relationship with glosses. I hate them because they always messed up my face.. especially if its all windy and my hair get stuck on it. And i dont usually wear lipgloss. Only during ceertain rare days when i suddenly have the mood to. But here's the contradicting part, I buy them alot. Cause they are so good to look at. HAH! ^^ So here are some of my favourites.

Actually if you look closer, there is actually 5 swatches! I think the Dior Nude Gloss is the same colour as my skin [slightly darker] thats why its kinda invisible. LOL

1] Dior Addict Ultra Gloss Glow : Its is the best lipgloss ever. I love how the brush is actually really a soft blending lip brush instead of the normal lipgloss sponge. THE BEST LIPGLOSS BRUSH EVER!!  This way you can glide your gloss evenly. The packaging is so pretty too. I love it. The colour is very pigmented for a lipgloss and it is definitely high shine. [216] This is the brown beige nude gloss. It is my favourite cause its like the best nude shade lipgloss i ever seen [other than MAC]. Its a very popular colour too. [576] is more pink! very bright pink actually. You can use this gloss by itself and the pink is still very visible. Its like a gummy pink in colour. [556] its a peachy pink colour. Very soft pink with earth undertones. I like it. $40.

2] Anna Sui Lipgloss. I had this for over a year so the serial number and the name vanished. hhaa! But i know Anna Sui has only one orange peach colour lipgloss. I just love the smell of rose. Very refreshing. When you wear this for touching up, it just perks up everything. The colour is pigmented and this tecture is very thick compared to the other glosses.  I dont like the brush though, its the normal sponge tip. Not my preferred choice. I think it cost around $25-$30?I forgot, :(

3] RMK Pink Lipgloss. Again the serial number and code name had already vanished. So sorry. But this is the barbie trademark pink. Loud colour from the packaging, but when applied, it is actually very light. The brush is very short, so i dont really like it. Its like a shorter and stiffier version of Dior's. i forgot the price :(

I REALLY HOPE THIS HELPS!!

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SUNSET I'VE EVER SEEN!!

The only editing i made was contrast because it was taken by my handphone camera.. the quality was poor.

YET, it was just stunning! I was at the rooftop jacuzzi when this spectacular moment happened. It was just mesmerizing.

Oh how time flies... :') Pls dont ever grow up!

This is a picture of us taken 5 years ago.. so much difference. Im starting to miss it already.

ok. Im getting real emotional. Sometimes, we forget how tiime flies until that one moment it finally hits you. Take a look around, look at your grandparents, your parents.. they are all getting old.. if i could.. i wont stop the time but instead, I'll slow it down. Because we all still need each other in this world..

Tonight We are young So let's set the world on fire We can burn brighter than the sun

Happy 21st 18th Birthday to Moiii! :')

I've always wonder how my 21st birthday would be like. Due to unnecessary MTV programmes like My Super 21, telling us how it should be like.  I had a rather vain, unrealistic birthday party idea in mind.

Of course, my 21^st birthday was nothing like that. My parents didn’t get me a convertible pink Volkswagen they ought to give. My Birthday wasn’t held in a massive club. I didn’t have any alcohol drinks in my party. One direction didn’t perform at my birthday either.

Mine was just simple. My birthday was just held at Downtown East Chalet, shared among hundreds of others who’re celebrating their birthday too. It was just a small space enough for just a number of people.

Yet, I had the best time of my life. It was better than my 18^th birthday because I was actually enjoying myself. During those 3 days of stay at the chalet with my cousins & family, I had a lovely time. The feeling of watching everyone of your family member helping you to prepare so much for your birthday is just moving. It touches my heart. To watch my Aunties & Mummy not sleeping just to prepare the food.. To watch my Uncle wrapping the gifts for the game prize.. To watch my Sister,Dad & Cousins busy setting up the whole place.. My cousin Deana, who kept wiping off my sweat, making sure my hair is in place at all time during the party..Everyone’s just busy making sure my birthday was special. It brought tears to my eyes. It is sad that only now I know how truly blessed I am to have such loving family. Thank you to every one of you, I love you guys. Family Forever :’)   

The theme, in case you haven’t notice from all the pictures, is actually Wild Safari. Anything that screams Animals or Animal Prints. Everyone knows Im sucha themed girl.  [P.S im a pink Flamingo] But because of the location, I had to tone down with the theme. Something very casual yet sleek. The celebration starts at 5.30.

I was already getting dressed, doing my hair and makeup. Its so hard to prepare because we [all the girls] are fighting for the mirror..Plus its burning hot. I was so screwed because I didn’t bring some essential beauty needs. Lol.  When I was done, I stepped out of the room. And as soon as I did that, the music stop blasting loud crazy song and started playing “Forever Young” .

I swore that moment was so surreal. Deana rushed to take my picture and so did my mum and aunties. I felt like crying because the music just suits whatever it is that Im feeling that particular moment. My mum actually came to me and said “wow, that moment was beautiful”. I know she’s right. That moment is the moment I’ll always remember, the day I became an adult. That moment I just grew from a teenager to somewhat a more mature adult [notice I said the word “somewhat MORE mature] ^^

Cheers to the birthday girl! hehehe! Oh i Love my nails!! Its in OPI Love Ocean Potion.

Zul and Tiara was the first few who came early. And before you knew it people start pouring in. I have to admit, I was slightly disappointed that some of my close friends wasn’t there. Oh well, I can live with that. Hah.  

Tiara & I. The only Cousin besides my Dad's side Im close with. hehe ^^ We have the same soft curls hair.  

Deana, my baby cousin whom annoys the shit outta me but i love her so much! love her like crazy. She's the photographer for my bday!

I've always dont really enjoy the cutting cake ceremony because i just think its a little embarassing! haha! Its like I feel soooo AWKWARD standing in the middle, no idea what to do.. just smiling with the cake knife in my hands while everyone else is singing the birthday song LOUDLY. its soooo amusing! haha!! Nevertheless, it is one of the moment where you feel like a star. The spotlight is on you and you feel all warm and fuzzy inside knowing you're a year older. Its like a swirl of mixed emotions going through your mind.

After the cake cutting ceremony, we finally played the party games! Its the part of the birthday celebration I actually look foward the most! Because we prepared so many games and prizes to be won! Silly games like The Macho Game [where all the guys have to squeeze a lemon into a bowl as hard and as fast as they can. Then, they have to drink the lemon juice quicly YET maintain a Sexy Smile!] IT WAS HILARIOUS!!

The other game is The PantyHose Game [where everyone has to find a partner. One is to be blindfolded while the other give instructions. The blind person has to blow 2 balloons, put it in a pantyhose & then wear it on their partner's head! IT WAS SO FUNNY I ALMOST DIED!!!!

The winners for the pantyhose challenge! omg ! I seriously pity Tiara for having Ahmad as her partner! Look what he did to her!! So violent!! Until the whole face! HAHAHHA!!! CUTE SIA!! omg

The other games are just the normal musical mat, passing games and etc.

& then the prize giving ceremonyyyy.. hell yeah that was so much fun. It practically drained out everyone's energy

There are sooo many pictures but I really dont have time to upload everything. My aplogy. This birthday would not have been possible without the Queen Of My Heart. Thank you Mummy for everything. I'm everything I am because of you.    

This birthday party was held on 28th of April the day before my actual brithday.

The next day, 29th April, My 21st birthday itself. Ahmad threw me an amazing birthday celebration at Amara Sanctuary Resort. It was a blast!!!!!!

Me, Ahmad, Tiara,Ira & Alep went to check in first before my friends come. We bought some pizzas, drinks. The place was ROCKIN AWESOME!!!! Everyone was practically screaming when we enter the suite. We thought it was just a normal suite but this one has an outdoor garden with a freaking Jacuzzi!! WOOHOO! pool parrrttyyy everybodyyy!!

The balloons were total fail! Kept on burstinggggggg!! cause there were too many plants and sharp edges around there

Rasul, Nadia, Narysal,Laura,Wawan & Ayda didnt bring extra clothes! what a shame!! we were having so mucu fun playing games and stuff in there. Most of the time there were were soaking the jacuzzi, playing silly games, small talks, jokes.. and stuff like that.

Ahmad was sooo sweet!!! He did not only throw me a birthday celebration here but almost bought me a.... PINK POLAROID CAMERA!!! the thing ive been wanting since foreverrrrrrrr! OMG! THANK YOU AHMAD!! I started snapping immediately! haha

I dont really enjoy eating cakes, besides ice cream cake but this chocolate cake was DELICIOUS! it has no sponge cake at all! It is entirely chocolateee! YUMMY!! so here goes another amusing moment of cake cutting ceremony! HAHAHA!!! I tried so hard to divert the attention to ahmad though :s

So yes, I did divert the attention to him, cause Ahmad deserves it. Every inch of it. He was the one who made this party happened. I made a toast to him where all of us did the 'yammmmmseennnnggggg" at the end so loudly! it was just too funny. But really Ahmad Darling, thanks.    Ahmad Awkward Moment Much? HAHAHHA :P

I never thought Ahmad as the sweetest bf in the world.. or I don’t go bragging about what a perfect couple we are. Because I know for a fact that we fight a lot. We argue everyday. But both of us know its better to be together and fight everyday then not to be together at all. But on my birthday, he really made me feel like a Princess, the only one he loves and set eyes for. He made me feel oh so special like never before.  

As I was eating my cake, he sat down beside me and retrieved a light blue box with the signature white ribbon. My eyes was like popping already! Tiffany & Co.. really? Omg what a sweethearttttt. I open to find a beautiful necklace inside. The trademark Tiffany & Co pendent was proudly shining & went I turned it around, I saw Iqah 21^st engraved on it. At that moment, I swear I felt like crying because I cant believe he gave me so much for my birthday. The hotel, The Polaroid Camera and now the necklace. Just as I was about to contain my emotions, he handed me ANOTHER  blue box. I was puzzled. He just smile and nodded his head. I open up to find a beautiful Tiffany & Co ring. It was really awkward for him to put it on for me because its like as though we’re getting engage. HEHE! I remember seriously trying to hold back my tears.

yeah i had to edit this to this colour cause my face is all wet and make up is sooo disastrous. I was already tearing up. lol 

My sister and Tiara already noticed my red face so they quickly snap pictures! Haha! What a scene. I was about to stand when he handed me a big box. I was like Omg Ahmad, are you serious!! Haha. And then I opened it up to find a lovely pair of pink Pedro Floral heels. Its was preetttyyyy. I tried it on and pulled him to the garden outside , away from everyone else.   [yes. ignore my face. i my nose everything hs reddened already[

I could no longer hold back my tears. Fresh happy tears sprung out from my eyes as I thank him for such a wonderful birthday. It was so magical because we started dancing slowly under the stars and then coincidently, the song “can I have this dance” played in the background [everyone was watching High School Musical 3 inside LOL]. What a romantic moment. HEHEHEHE!!!

The others left around 10.30 and some of us stayed over the night. The bed was so huge enough for like all of us who slept over. Woke up in the morning, and went straight to the pool. Everyone else left for school by then. So its just Ahmad & I..we’re like enjoying the last 3 hours of our stay! Definitely a great one!

i REALLY LOVE the dream pool. its so awesomeeeee. So relaxing. The sky pool is rather crowded.

Nostalgic much? Well it is for me. I used to be work at this very spot where Ahmad is sitting down. Managing the mini bar, ensuring the guest is entertained. Well, that was during my poly attachment days. lol. I didnt know that the hotel i used to work for was this fun! it sure wasnt fun at all at the back office :s

To end this post with my brownie bday cake. Hahah! I am so amused how every year my name is spelt wrongly! HAHAH. oh man. Maybe everyone forgets my real name since they are so used calling me Iqah. The name is Nurshafiqah ok. IqahVamp is legendary. HAAHHA!

I no doubt had the most wonderful birthday thanks to my love ones. Im so blessed.  To each and everyone who help in making my day special, I LOVE YOU. But above all, Thank you Allah.

xoxo

THUMBELINA

What a lovely fairytale.

One that i'll never be too old to watch over and over again.

Love.

Love is like a song that never ends. Like the voice of a heavenly choir, love's sweet music flows on.

Anyway, I decided to make something for my love. Just something to show him that I really appreciate everything he does for me.

hehe. Just a small card. This is the back.. and here's the front ;

I wanted to draw Aladdin & Jasmine.. but I kinda lost the semangat spirit. LOLX

Sometimes I feel like If I never met Ahmad, I’ll never know what love is. He taught me the meaning of love. He showed me what being selfless is. Always putting his family and me first before him. I on the other hand, have always been a selfish girl. But ever since I know him, I believe I have changed a little. He taught me what real sacrifices are, something that I know deep down I won’t be as strong enough to do it. He taught me patience. His gentle attitude showed me how big his heart is. He is no doubt; I want to believe, one of the kindest people I know.

I thank God for merging our paths together.

Ahmad, my love .. Thank you for bringing out the best in me.

xx

bonsoir mon amour!

How was your day? Mine was terrific! I had a splendid time with my ol’ bestfriend, Hana. Yeah. Its been awhile since we both actually hang out let alone shopping together.

However, today happens that both of us are free and Im in need of a companion to shop for my birthday dress!! Since Loobie is in Oklahoma & Farah is at work… So its just Hana Panda [lol! Sec sch nickname sticks forever] and myself.

We had so much fun searching. I almost forgot what its like being with her. I can be my monkey bitchy self and she will just go along with the flow. We camwhored like crazy, while eating icecream.  Yes. That MacDonald’s Butterscotch IceCream is driving me nuts. So yummy. I got all my besties to try it.

I found the perfect dress for my birthday thanks to Hana. Bought some rings which I lurveeee. I have a thing for those rings with that turquoise stones. I first saw it on Miley, and then I thought “hey! That’s pretty”.. and then I go crazy buying it whenever I see one.

Its something like this. Yeah. I don’t know why but Ça me plait  XD and its very affordable too. [Of course they’re not real stones, C'est trop cher!]

ma copine .. she’s still the same ol’ Hana! Only a little chubbier now :p

How to say “she’s my bestfriend even though we don’t meet that often “” in French? lol

Bonne nuit!

To those who’re annoyed with me using French words .. Désolé!

I can’t help it. I am trying to learn the language.
