Real Techniques Expert Face Brush

Out for a quick retail therapy today in Paradigm Mall. I should've known better that the commercial centre will be packed with people during weekends. Anyway, I passed by this shop called Shins that sold beauty products and make-up. I remembered that some time ago I discovered that this shop is selling make-up brushes, so I decided to take a peek. A few steps into the store, my eyes already caught very familiar-looking tools that I've come to know from watching make-up tutorials on Youtube. Yes, it is the very much hyped Real Techniques brushes! To be honest, I really didn't know that they are selling it in Malaysia! I hesitated when deciding which one to buy, RT's expert face brush or Ecotools' bamboo buffing brush that was also sold in the shop and was considerably cheaper (RM 48). After a quick glance through makeupalley, I decided to buy RT's expert face brush.

And I'm really, truly grateful of my purchase decision.

The brush is made of gorgeous and ultra-plush synthetic bristles, which are incredibly soft! It made my liquid foundation, bb cream or concealer application so much easier and hassle-free. Although, I'm not a big fan of using products on my face (foundation, bb, cc creams etc) on an everyday basis, I can't live without concealers to cover up my horrid dark circles and this brush helps to me to blend the product so well, creating a very natural finish! Another feature that really pleases me is that the brush end has a flat surface, which enables it to stand.  I bought this brush for RM 78, I know that's considerably pricey and I'm being wasteful again with my allowance but trust me on this one, it's totally worth it!



Birthday

It's that very special day that comes only once a year!

Happy birthday to me!

The early morning of my birthday started with a blast. I woke up to the sound of two pairs of feet creeping and sneaking into my bedroom.

"She's still asleep, isn't she?" said a familiar voice in a tone that was nearly hushed

That voice jerked me up in a second.

It was so early in the morning and I had gotten my very first birthday surprise of the year from my two beloved cousins! Those red marks on both sides of my cheeks? Yup, those are their lovely kisses for the birthday girl!


Later in the afternoon, another surprise came by and made my day! This time it was from the sneaky boyfriend and my best friends!


My folks gave me this gorgeous cakes! 

Whilst love gave me those super cute gallons in the shape of '18', Tiffany Blue colored cupcakes, a bouquet of pink roses with pristine white lilies and a secret present that he wrapped himself hehehe!


I had four birthday cakes excluding one stack of doughnuts! Can you imagine how happy I was? Thank you to everyone for making my day so unforgettable! I love you all so much. 
May this year be a blessed and wonderful one!
