Kajal

I have bought two  kajals. The first one was Hashmi Kajal , I have asked Mal to buy one  when   he was in Klang.At the  Mydin store ,  that is . Before this I have bought the one with a slim stick. I have also tried Eyetex and both are still around with me. The second kajal was  from Miss Rose which I bought for RM 15.00 on line.The Miss Rose one is more intense and does not smudge easily  , both have deep black colour . Both did not irritate  my  eyes. For the Arabian eye style of makeup , I would use Miss Rose. The colour is striking .
Miss Rose have nice eyeshadow pallete. I would use the kajal at night , sometimes for  the winged eyes. There are some brass kohl applicator being sold at Mydin which I might buy in the future. It is not expensive.

Shahirah Iffah Gold and Platinum Exfoliating gel

I have used Iffah Exfoliating gel for three weeks. The gel is clear and has a plesant smell. The price was Rm RM 20.72 at Tesco. Incidentally Iffah is a skincare line produced by L.D Waxson the same company which produced Ginvera. I do not use the gel everyday .The exfoliating gel is gentle enough and it suits me well.

Last Sunday we went to Mal's convocation. At last he received his diploma. Inshallah in December he will continue his studies in Madinah University. I am so happy for him.

Mustika Ratu Sari Jeruk Nipis Cleanser and toner

All my  sisters went back  on Sunday and Monday. Till we meet again next year , my dear . The house was filled with people during the past two weeks. I have bought Mustika Ratu cleanser and toner at last. I bought the duo at Tesco Mutiara Damansara , it has lime essential oil for oily and pimples  skin . There is another one with cucumber ,for oily skin only  but I have not seen those  around .I choose the cleanser because I need something to control my pimples . It is an on and off thing but just to make sure. The price for the duo  is about RM 11.00 for a 150ml bottle.The last pimple had cleared and hopefully by using this brand ,  the breakout will cease .  I used to buy the rose coloured  one  for dry and sensitive skin and I have stopped using the cleanser since 2007 but then I have thought about it again.  The brand has been around so it must be good  . Yes ??

On Monday I went to  Sogo to buy  new linen blouse. There is not much variety , I found Somerset Bay with the Salmon dress , the one Yati bought for me . My size, 7 ,  was not available . Mustika Ratu is available in Sogo and Mydin nearby . I bought  a Pearl soap for oily face . So  now ,  I have a cleanser , soap and toner . To complete the pimple set one has to buy the Indah warni mask which I didn't. I went to Mydin before that to buy Ayu Singset pills. Then I went to PSA boutique on the second floor  in Semua House, where there are a lot of nice linen blouses,  there is  sale and I ended buying two new linen blouses , a green and light purple one. Hooray !!!

Girls day out

This afternoon all the girls meaning my mother , my three sisters and I went for lunch . We went to Just Thai at One Utama again . We had the set for 4 persons. We had the starters the one with the betel leaf.It was a pleasant taste which  reminds me of the Vietnam set at SACC mall.  The food was nice . My mother who loves Tom Yam could not resist but she had forgotten she had come here for her birthday . Oh my ... After that we went to see the children who were  tucked away nicely  at Chillies on the third floor . Then we had chocolate at Theobrama Chocolate lounge. Thank you for those who treated us . Next time ...he he he

I have been looking at gold . Gold price as of today for 916 is RM 205.00. I wonder how much it will cost a year from now.  I have not seen  any Somerset Bay store  in One Utama . Maybe it is there somewhere . I will try to find the brand in Metro the Curve of Sogo if my husband wants to go  there this Monday.

Selamat Hari Raya 2011 and AG 2000 Peeling Mask

The Must Have Menu

My favourite mask at the moment

Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Fitri !!  Today most of my siblings are not around , there are only Nas and Akmal. We went to perform Aidil Fitri prayers at  the Ghufran mosque nearby. My mother had cooked the usual fare , beef , chicken rendang ,peanut sauce  and Masak lodeh.  Yesterday  my mother had to prepare Nasi Himpit herself as the aunty who had always made for us , said that she could not make for nasi Himpit  or compressed rice as everyone had gone back home. 

My sisters Yati and Sadd had gone back to their in laws in Kedah and Kelantan while Taei had gone back to Perak.  Rafiq and family came at night , we have watched the movie "Nur Kasih " on TV3. 

During these  two weeks , my pimples had  came out again. Last week , there were three zits,  and now tonight another one. I have bought Safi Rania Gold cream cleanser . My sister Nas has some isssues with pimples and the beautician she went to said that she must not use any cream based cleanser .  I think I will buy Mustika Ratu cleanser and freshener in lime , when my husband goes to Tesco in two days time.

I have used the  AG 2000 peeling mask for about two weeks. Actually I asked my mother to buy the one with gel because I loved it very much. It turned that the girl in the shop said the mask is not available anymore  and I had the one in tube instead. At first it was quite hard to take the mask off , but after 30 minutes I find that that my blemishes and scars had faded.  There is collagen in this mask. So , the mask is really good for me .

Safi to you

Today my mother and I went to the One Utama , to the revamped Jusco that is.  There were many people  as usual . I bought a pair of  black shoes from Lewre. There were many food items on the ground floor and my mother said , Maryam my niece would love  the food  . We did not go to the supermarket . After buying the  Hari Raya shoes , my mother went to shop for some beddings and  some artificial  flowers. 

After that , we went to their Aeon wellness center . I bought the Safi Rania Gold  night cream and and  the cream cleanser which is good  to remove makeup .The friendly SA said that I could use the gel cleanser in the morning and the cream cleanser to remove makeup  at night  .  Maybe later  I will buy the serum. I have used the serum twice now but  it does not last long . I have a nasty pimple on the bridge of my nose . It is one of those days , perhaps it is the new cream , or the new cold cream or the old mask. 

I do not know which or perhaps it was  the long nights looking up for kajal , kohls and Miss Rose make up that  invites the old friend back .  I am interested to buy  a new kajal. Maybe after Aidil Fitri ,perhaps  I will go to Jalan Masjid India  or to CT One plaza for Sha Eyes from  Shahnaz Hussein or  I will  drop by One Utama to check out the Kajal from Body Shop or Himalaya .

As of today I bought most stuff from Safi   the scrub , cleansers and  creams.  I also bought  bottle of Vitamin C , 500 mg and a  Pixy compact powder in Yellow Beige .

Some Ramadhan food

Last Saturday  we had a family break of  fast  at home. Nas  and gang came back  . Taei too came with his family. We had bryani rice , dalca , chicken and salad. Nas cooked most of the dishes  while my mother made Dalca .The dishes were tasty as always. We had terawikh prayers at home with Mal  as the Imam muda . Rafiq and family came much later . Jingga,  my cat is around most of the nights now , he always sleeps in the room until  the morning at around 3 to 4 am . He is now much fatter and his mouth is not very red like last time. The last time he went to see the doctor  was in July of this year .

Today my mother cooked  Ikan cermin masak lemak , a yellow coconut dish with tumeric and such ,  fried chicken , a different kind of  pineapple salad and a baked Cencaru fish  or Ikan Jacket .  There were more kueh tonight and we had soya bean drink and a mango drink from Akmal . My father has to have sambal and ikan kering or salted fish in his meal . We went to Al Khadeem at Kg Kayu Ara  for Terawikh all these nights.
