Best of all, they are 100% authentic and directly ship all the way from Korea to your doorstep with free delivery (*purchases above RM150) and unconditional returns. This is exactly the reason why I don't want to sign up earlier because I can now visit their website all day long, just scrolling but not buying can be an addiction too :p

From my recent purchase with Althea, it was a pleasant experience! Impeccable customer service, quick delivery and most importantly, the box is perfectly fine with no damages (not even a scratch) and products are all well protected in bubble wrap. Given the fact that it's directly ship from Korea, I gotta say their distribution team has done such a great job because sometimes even delivery within Klang Valley get crushed easily. I'm now eyeing on my second purchase and it seems like there will be a long term relationship between Althea and I. ;)

[Beauty Review] Bifesta Water Based Makeup Remover

I've never realized the importance of removing makeup until my face getting more and more sensitive that I have to visit dermatologists. I understand that most of the women nowadays couldn't live without makeup and feel insecure - especially on those nights of glitz and glam. Despite the glow it affords our skin, if we do not remove makeup properly, the same saving grace can become your nemesis. Besides, skin is our largest organ and tends to expose to UV rays and pollutants on a daily basis which will destruct our skin tissue, hence it explains why do we have to use makeup remover even if we didn't put on any makeup.

Now, I bet most of you are well aware of the makeup remover brand, Bifesta, which was previously known as "Cleansing Express" in 2006. Bifesta is Japan's 1st drugstore water-based makeup remover and they are specialize in makeup removers only. As the name suggests, Bifesta embodies the meaning of "Beauty Festival", a celebration of beauty where beautiful skin can be achieved quickly, easily and joyfully with effective, fuss-free makeup remover.


So I'll start off by reviewing my favourite product, Bifesta Water Based Makeup Remover Cleansing Lotion (300ml @ RM34.90). There are four categories of cleansing lotion catered for different skin types, namely Enrich (Dry Skin), Moist (Normal to Dry Skin), Bright Up (Combination Skin) and Sebum (Oily Skin).



I'm currently using Moist makeup remover and I love how convenient is it especially when I come home late after a long day at work that I just want to remove my makeup quickly and go to bed. It is so easy to use that you just need to take a cotton disk, apply about three pushes on the nozzle per disk and wipe off gently until the cotton remains unsoiled.


The cleansing lotion contains adsorptive hyaluronic acid for translucent skin so it is recommended not to wash your face again with soap or any other cleansing product which will wash away the moisturizing ingredients. For waterproof and heavy eye makeup, Bifesta Water Based Eye Makeup Remover would be a better option as it contains oil after all.


Next up would be Bifesta Water Based Makeup Remover Cotton Wipes (46 sheets/276ml @ RM24.90). Similar to the cleansing lotion, it comes in two different type, Moist (Normal to Dry Skin) in pink and Bright Up (Combination Skin) in purple packaging.


Basically this cotton wipe works pretty the same as cleansing lotion - wipe off type and no need for a second wash. Take out one sheet at a time and use it on dry skin. One sheet of cotton wipe is large enough for full face coverage so you can refold the sheet to use the clean part and repeat this until the sheet remains unsoiled. I would say cotton wipes are definitely the best creation ever especially for traveler and I'm bringing this with me to Lombok trip next week!


Here comes the highlight as well as best selling product, Bifesta Water Based Eye Makeup Remover (145ml @ RM19.80). This eye makeup remover contains two types of moisturizing ingredients, Vitamin B and E derivatives, that are gentle on eyelashes and the eye area protect eyelashes and keep the skin moisturized.


The dual effects of the water based layer which contains skin lotion-derived cleansing ingredients and the oil based emollient layer removes waterproof mascara and eyeliner effortlessly yet thoroughly without rubbing or tugging.



Since there are dual effects of water and oil layer, shake the bottle well and ensure the water based and emollient layers are well mixed before apply it onto a cotton disk. Place the moistened cotton for about 10 to 15 seconds and wipe off gently. First wipe could remove most of my makeup hence there is no need for rubbing hard.


Previously I was kind of skeptical of water based makeup remover thinking whether it can remove my makeup properly. Furthermore, all of their makeup removers are wipe-off type and doesn't require second wash. I always have the thought that water based makeup remover could never beat oil based makeup remover but it has totally changed my mind! Oil based makeup remover leaves an uncomfortable oily residue and requires an additional step of cleansing but this single bottle just does all wonder!

I'm totally loving these makeup removers and it leaves my skin clean with toned and smooth effect. I'm so surprised because it helps to prevent breakouts as well and I get quite a number of compliments that my skin is getting better day by day. ;) I'm halfway through my first bottle and I'll definitely repurchase it! Bifesta Water Based Makeup Remover series are available at major Sasa, Watsons and Guardian outlets. Cheers to healthy and glowing skin!

[Beauty Review] Elianto Long Wear Eyeshadow Stick

Eyeshadow - when worn in a flattering shade and blended properly, it can add depth and dimension to one's eyes and simply draw attention to the eyes. On the flip side of the coin, it can become a beautiful disaster if you fail to do these two simple things. I'm not a big fans of eyeshadow as I don't even know how to apply it properly and subtly and now I'm going to challenge myself with Elianto's new range of Long Wear Eyeshadow Stick which they claimed that all you need to do is just glide and go, as simple as ABC!


Made with a German-based formula, this wax-based eyeshadow stick is not only long-lasting, its texture allows for effortless super smooth blending. It is waterproof, smudge-proof cream-to-powder compound is feather light on lids. Containing Jojoba Oil, this mineral oil free, paraben free and preservatives free eyeshadow stick is both dermatologically or ophthalmologically approved.




Packaging wise, I'm totally in love with these sleek, black colour twist-up eyeshadow sticks with the product name and shade written clearly by the side and a colour indicator at the bottom where you can easily identify the colour that you want at a glance. And what's best when the colour indicator is actually an in-built sharpener which can be either used as a delicate eyeshadow or a determined eyeliner. It comes in very handy especially when you need to touch up your makeup or during vacation as the size of the pen is just right and not too bulky for me to carry around.

Tips: Be careful when you're removing the cap as you might break the eyeshadow stick and cause a mess.


Elianto Long Wear Eyeshadow Stick is available in 6 shades - Black, Brown, Purple, Navy, Blue and White (from left to right). I love the shade selection as these colours are all earthy, neutral colours which is kinda fair and suitable for all types of skin tone and daily makeup look.


Upon first application of just one swipe on my hand, I'm so surprised by its pigmentation and it gives me a very soft and smooth finish. As you can see in the picture above, all the colours except for the basic black and white contains a bit of metallic accent which can enhance and brighten up your eyes. These bright and bold shade selection is allied with this Spring Summer beauty trend of smokey, sultry eyes with a contemporary edge.

These eyeshadow sticks are very creamy in texture and easy to blend. However, you have to be quick before the colour sets or else it will not budge once it dries and it will be very hard to remove. Beginners will have to practice a few times more to get the perfect finish while on a brighter note, it proves that its staying power and smudge-proof formulation is effective.

No doubt that the staying power of these eyeshadow sticks is much stronger, I've also tried and tested to see if it's really waterproof and smudge-proof as what they claimed. The colour stays perfectly no matter how hard I rub it and it only starts to smudge after about 4 to 5 hours (note that I have oily eyelids), hence smudge-proof checked. On the other hand, I would rate this product 6/10 for its waterproof formulation; nothing happened when I leave it under running water tap but when I try to rub it, the colour fades right away.


In the picture above, I'm using the basic colours - black, brown and white for my daily makeup look and I truly love the colour payoff! It is very easy to apply and smudge out the colours over my eyelid. The long lasting formulation would be the main highlights that I'm going to emphasize on. After all, I would highly recommend this especially for lazy people like me. Just glide and go; it's definitely something new for you to experiment with! Elianto Long Wear Eyeshadow Stick is available at all Elianto stores nationwide and priced at RM31.90 each.

[Beauty Review] Mee Brightly Sharp Eyeliner

Aloha! Do you guys miss me? I am so guilty for leaving my blog inactive for a month or more especially when I've started my working life as an auditor recently, I doubt that if I can keep up my blogging mojo and attend events as usual. Anyway I'm back with another beauty review of an award winning liquid eyeliner. Can you guess what brand is it? :P


It's the Mee Brightly Sharp Eyeliner by Mee Cosmetics and this eyeliner has actually won the CLEO Best Liquid Eyeliner 2014 Award! Fyi, Mee Cosmetics is originated from Thailand but the product itself is made in Korea. It's currently fast selling in Thailand and Hong Kong and even Miss Thailand World 2014 also fall in love with this eyeliner.


The packaging is rather simple; black pen tube design with the brand and product name printed on it. I personally prefer this type of eyeliner pens which is very easy to handle especially when you're drawing a thin and sharp line.


I'm not a professional makeup artist but I'm kinda emphasize on the bristles part for eyeliner pens. This Mee eyeliner has very soft bristles and it doesn't hurt my eyes at all.


As you can see in the picture above, it is jet black in colour and I love the fact that you can easily achieve the darkest eyeliner in just one application.


I've never heard of the brand, Mee Cosmetics, previously and it's my first time using their products. Surprisingly, I've fell in love with this Mee Brightly Sharp Eyeliner immediately right after my first application and it has appeared as the top eyeliner in my makeup list.

First of all, as I've mentioned, I love the thin and sharp tip of this eyeliner with a pen tube design which allows me to have a good control when drawing a slim and sharp line. I'm surprised by the intensity of the colour despite it has a very thin and sharp tip and soft bristles that I can easily achieve deep black colour in just one application. The texture is very smooth and the best part of all, it dries up very quickly that there's no need for waiting.


I've also tried and tested that this Mee Brightly Sharp Eyeliner is highly waterproof and smudge-proof as what they claimed on their website. The liner stays perfectly even I leave it under the running tap water and rub it when it's still wet (YES, IT'S TRUE!). Well, I believe no one will rub their liner when it's wet but I'm still surprised by the results. No doubt that it's also smudge-proof and it has no flake-off issue no matter how hard I rub it. It's totally perfect for the Malaysia's weather and no worries for party-goers! I guess this is why Mee Brightly Sharp Eyeliner was crowned as the CLEO Best Liquid Eyeliner 2014 Award. ;)


Essential Beauty House (女人物语) is currently the exclusive distributor of Mee Cosmetics in Malaysia and you can only purchase this Mee Brightly Sharp Eyeliner on their website (Website: www.essentialbeautyhouse.com.my | Facebook: www.facebook.com/essentialbeautyhouse) for RM39.90 (100g).

Miracle Gel by Sally Hansen


I know many girls out there love to go to nail saloon for gel nails but it's kinda pricey and troublesome when you need to remove it. Guess what, today I'm going to introduce you a cheaper and easier option yet can achieve similar results - the Miracle Gel by Sally Hansen


Miracle Gel is the first ever part-lacquer, part-gel manicure system that delivers up to 14 days of lasting colour and shine in just 2 easy steps. Simply apply two coats of the Miracle Gel Colour Coat and followed by Miracle Gel Top Coat and you're done! Affordable prices (RM34.90 each), no UV/LED light needed and the regular nail polish remover will do, sounds awesome isn't it? :)


They have more than 45 eye-catching shades but currently they only bring in 11 shades + 1 top coat in Malaysia. Look at these fun and cheeky colours, definitely all girls' favourite!


During the workshop, we were also introduced to their nail treatment as well as nail art products since we're going to create our very own Christmas nails in a while. 


There was a short tutorial/demonstration session by the Sally Hansen team to give us a brief idea of what can we draw for our Christmas nails later. As usual, trim your nail cuticles and apply base coat/nail treatment before you apply your desired base colour.


Add a little designs on your nails like polka dot or you can even draw a snowflake on it. 


Finish it with top coat and you're done! Loving this Christmas nails creation, they're so lovely isn't it?


Here's my first attempt on nail art (with the help of Google :P), yay or nay? I gotta admit the Miracle Gel by Sally Hansen is one of the best creation ever; I love the vibrant colours and glossy effect offer by Miracle Gel and they're very easy to apply. The texture is a bit runny but you can achieve fully opaque nails with just two coats of the Miracle Gel Colour Coat and followed by Miracle Gel Top Coat. Now everyone can has salon-quality manicure with affordable price range at home too!


For those who're interested, I would recommend you to take up their Christmas Duo Pack which consists of a Miracle Gel Colour Coat (choice of shade 210 Pretty Piggy or shade 240 B Girl) + Miracle Gel Top Coat for only RM52.90 instead of RM69.80. The Miracle Gel Colour Coat and Miracle Gel Top Coat were developed to be used together and only with each other, hence you may not achieve the gel shining effect if you use other top coat over Miracle Gel colour.


Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Nail Colour (available in 11 shades) and Miracle Gel Top Coat are both priced at RM34.90 each and are available at Watsons, Guardian, Sasa, Caring Pharmacy, Parkson and AEON 1 Utama.

Peripera Limited Edition Disney Frozen Collection Review Event


Seems like the Frozen frenzy will never be over until another great Disney show comes up and you can still see many kids dress in Frozen costumes in shopping malls and people now are even naming their babies after Frozen characters! Peripera Malaysia has took this opportunity and release a limited edition Peripera Disney Frozen collaboration collection to capture women's heart. Inspired by the elegant Queen Elsa and her cute sister Princess Anna, the collection features eye shadows, cushion cream, powder, eyeliners, glam tint and many more...


The event was first kick start with products introduction and makeup demonstration of Elsa inspired look. Elsa inspired look is more emphasized on her eye makeup and the main product used here is Tap Tap Eyes #1 Let It Go (purple colour eye shadow kit @ RM59.90). For the eye shadow part, they first apply the darkest purple colour to define the lower part of the eyelid, then apply the light medium purple colour on the lower lid beneath the crease. Blend the colour out and upwards slightly without blending out the defined line and lastly apply the lightest shade on the crease to highlight. Then, use the black pencil liner from Wholly Deep Liner Kit (which consists of five different colour with matte finish @ RM79.90) to draw the bottom of the eyelash and lower eye and finish up with mascara on both top and bottom eyelashes.


A makeup will never be complete without lip colour. The pink cranberry lip colour used here is Magic Glam Tint #1 Let It Go (@RM35.90) to create the splendid and elegant look of Queen Elsa.


This is the complete Elsa inspired makeup look, pretty much easy to create and looking elegant right? :)


For those who preferred a more defined eye makeup or preparing for a night out with friends/family, you may touch up your eye makeup with Wholly Deep Auto Gel Liner #3 (purple colour with glitters @ RM39.90) on the bottom of your eyelash and lower eye. The easy drawing soft texture can be used as eye shadow as well and no worries it wouldn't the eye shadow colour which you've applied previously. Can you see the differences on the model's left and right eye?


They then moved on to Anna inspired look. Contrary to Elsa, Anna inspired look is more of innocent, fun and playful look and the main product used here is Tap Tap Eyes #2 I'm Christopher (orange colour eye shadow kit @ RM59.90). If I'm not mistaken, the shade is different but they apply the same way as Elsa eye makeup.


The lip colour used on Anna is Magic Glam Tint #2 I'm Christopher (coral lip colour @ RM35.90) which gives the feeling when Anna fell in love with Prince Hans. The makeup artist suggests us to apply the lip colour on the inner lips and dab lightly using fingers to create Korean gradient lips.


The complete look of Princess Anna, which is more of natural look and is suitable for daily makeup as well. Similarly, when you're going for dinner, you can touch up your eye makeup with Wholly Deep Auto Gel Liner #2 (brown colour with glitters @ RM39.90) for soft smokey eye makeup.


Now take a look at the whole range of limited edition Peripera Disney Frozen collaboration collection, I'm totally fall for their cute packaging and not forgot to mention, they are nice to use as well especially the Wholly Deep Auto Gel Liner; vivid colours with glitters, easy to glide on yet highly waterproof & smudge-proof! (Y)





Peripera Malaysia is currently running a few promotions whereby customers may collect the redemption cards which are available inside the products packaging to redeem special Frozen pouch as well as a Frozen party which will be held at Neway, 1 Utama Shopping Centre in December 2014. The Peripera Limited Edition Disney Frozen Collection is now available at major Watsons store, Frozen fans don't forget to check 'em out!
