August Wishlist

This is going to be a pretty long list because suddenly I want so many things.

#1 Lorac Pro Palette 

I've been eyeing this palette for a while but I still don't have my hands on it. I read somewhere that they have it in  Malaysia but when I went to Sephora, with high hopes, the lady working there didn't even know of the brand Lorac. The palette isn't new, it's been around for a couple of years so I'm disappointed that Sephora doesn't bring it in to Malaysia, well to the Sephora I always go to at least.

#2 Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser

It is said to be a dupe to the ever so popular Benefit POREfessional. I wasn't that interested in this when I first heard about it because I didn't really get what it was for. I didn't really understand what pores were and why they mattered so much but now that I do, it's on top of my wish list!

#3 Lush Big Shampoo

I am in need of a good shampoo. The shampoo I am currently using makes my hair flat and I cannot wait to finish it off and get a better shampoo. 

#4 Lush Cupcake Face Mask

I've watched a handful of YouTubers talk about this face mask. It is really high on demand, hence it is rarely available in their stores. Even it's name makes me want to try it, CUPCAAAAKE!

#5 Beauty Blender (in pink)

This sponge supposedly does a very very good job at blending your foundation or other creams. I don't use foundation but I sure am curious on how it works.

#6 Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette

It's a small easy to carry around palette with very basic colours for everyday use. Seems like a good palette to have around at all times.

#7 IT by Alexa Chung

I've recently fallen in love with her so what better way to show my love for her than getting her book?

#8 MAC Cremestick Liner 

I want this in the shade Buerre. Saw a YouTuber use it in a tutorial on how to get Kylie Jenner's look.  I instantly fell in love with the colour. Not sure how it's gonna look on my skin but it looked gorgeous on her lips.

Color Run

SO. MUCH. FUN <3

Ah, finally got the fun I've been needing in a long time! At the last minute, my aunty asked me to join her for the Color Run and I said yes because why would I say no? When I first found out about the Color Run, I asked the City Hunter gang to go with me but they didn't want to. So I was more than happy when my aunty wanted to bring me.

The run started at 7. There were so many people, so we ended up only getting to start the run at 8 as we were the fifth batch they released for the run. If I'm not mistaken, after every kilometre, they would throw us with different colours. After the first kilometre, we were sprayed with ORANGE powder. Next was YELLOW, BLUE, PINK and GREEN+ a bit of PURPLE, in that order. In total we had to run 5 km, which isn't that bad when you're having fun. I ended up looking not very human by the end of the run!


I felt so colourful. It was great.

Shot right before reaching the finish line.

Tried being all artsy. Failed.

Obsess Less

I need to find something new to obsess over. I'm constantly jumping from liking this to liking that and right now I feel so lost without something to obsess about. I keep myself occupied and less lonely by getting myself too into unnecessary things. Reasons why I am out of things to obsess about :

1. For a while, not very long ago, I was crazy over make up. I didn't wear much but I certainly enjoyed watching people do tutorials and gushing over pretty palettes but recently I had this realisation that I want to cut down on the make up I wear. I still do wear eye liner and lip colours but I'm trying to tone down my obsession because I have many years to obsess over make up so I should keep it more to the natural side for now. 

2. The television series I love have either reached their finale or stopped production. I honestly do not understand why many of the shows that I liked these past few years keep on getting cancelled. I am 90% sure most girls my age like them too but I guess only being able to attract a couple of teenage female fans isn't enough to stay in the television business.

3. No current celebrity crush. Being "unfaithful to celebrity crushes Allyssa" I have maybe (just a little) gotten over my Austin Butler phase. I do still find him very.. very.. attractive but without Carrie Diaries anymore it's so hard to see him anywhere. He isn't those -post everything on social media- kind so it is really hard to keep updated with him. That's the thing about liking actors, they usually don't get that involved with their fans and you don't have the slightest chance to see them. So I suggest you find a musician to like because it would be much easier. I do have this new actor to check out though, thanks to Yasmin!

4. I feel so not girly this month. I haven't thought about shopping for weeks and I actually feel lazy to think about clothes and handbags and all things fashion. What am I turning into? My life is already uninteresting as it is. It is getting even more uninteresting by the minute. However I am excited to go get Shaza and Yasmin their birthday presents. I still have NO idea what to get them but it is both exciting and stressful getting gifts for people.

Alhamdulillah that I have novels and my laptop to accompany me at boring times. 

Sorry for the having too many words in my post guys. I am just those kinds of people who like writing long paragraphs and feel incomplete if my posts say too little! Happy August <3

Hair Goals




I came across these pictures on Tumblr and this is exactly how I wish my hair was. Can you see how good she looks with this haircut?

We All Care

No matter what anyone says, we all care, to a certain extent, how others view us. We may not care what everyone thinks of us, but there’s always that one person, who with a few words holds the power that could make us or break us.
