leaving the twenties.

I bought a few new products recently and one of them is Kiwi Seed Oil Eye Cream by Antipodes.

Eye cream sebab tiba-tiba tengok cermin baru perasan ada fine lines di keliling mata T_T
Dan sebab tiba-tiba, my bos tegur, 'sha, u should put something under your eyes sebab it looks so bad lah.

So ok, bila suda ada yang tegur gitu harus la cepat2 ke kedai kosmetik bersoping apa yang patut.

Sangat susah oke nak pilih which eye cream yg sesuai.
Sebab there're sooo many brands out there and tak semua will works for you.
Dah la very costly nak beli satu tube kecik tu kan.

Setelah survey and baca review yg berlambak kat internet, I choose this eye cream from Antipodes sebab it's an organic brand, suitable for sensitive skins like mine and yg paling best adalah it has been voted as Best Global Application Eye Cream Award for 2011 by Harper's Bazaar.

Mula-mula nak beli the one from Dermalogica, but my sis ckp dia guna the skincare range and tak ok lansung! So she just stick with Nu Skin. And then try kat kaunter Origins and Dr Brandt. Tapi akhirnya beli this one kat Skinlab JJ Tebrau.

Ultra-rich Vitamin C from the seed of the New Zealand kiwi fruit works superbly to help repair damaged tissue around the delicate eye area. Containing carrot seed oil, aloe gel and 100% pure avocado oil, this is a fragrance-free product your skin will love.

All of the certified organic and natural beauty products in our skincare range have vegetarian approved status.

The highly esteemed VegSoc, or Vegetarian Society of the United Kingdom, has awarded us this major recognition : it's the oldest vegetarian organization in the world.

Last few weeks I bought a new Bobbi Brown eyeshadow.
Forest yang cantek.
'kan tgh kemaruk dgn brg2 BB nih. haha.
And I got a sample of BB eye cream in a small container.
Tried it for a few days and my eyes got itchy.

Maksudnya tak sesuai la tu kot.
And I tried one from SKII pun tak ok.
It makes my eyes watery.

I have quite a sensitive undereyes skin and I tend to react to most eye creams, but I find this one great - the Antipodes - soaks in nicely and does the trick. Although it is nice that it comes in a glass container, I think it would be better if it also came in a tube. But, still recommended though.

Tak bole nak komen banyak sangat sebab baru start guna tapi setakat ni aku memang puas hatilah even though belum hilang pun all the fine lines and the puffiness. Cuma at least mata aku tak kering kontang pedih2 la cam dulu.

Di penghujung usia ni baru la berkobar-kobar mau makai segala mak bapak skincare ni khans. Kalau tak, haremmm...
Balik rumah simbah2 muka dgn air, lap2, terus tido.
Esok paginya baru basuh muka dengan cleanser.
Nasib baik sejak gunakan barang Nu Skin ni kulit aku yang dibasuh jarang2 ni pun still ok.
Kot tak mau timbul segala anak beranak jerawat kat muka.
haha.

'oh yummieh!

Kalau bawak online kupon tu dapat benda free lagi yo.
ohh mak suker nyah!
...

and yes, I'm leaving the twenties soon.
*sigh*

our little crib.

All I could say is, "I've been so busy living and I haven't had time to blog about life!"
...

Sebenarnya nak post pasal giveaways arini tapi kompem tak sempat.
And since ada beberapa orang msg & email aku suruh cerita pasal rumah so marilah bercerita tentang yang itu ya.

Tapi pasal kontraktor mana aku guna utk buat cornice, cat rumah, buat awning, etc2 tu nanti-nantilah aku cerita sebab tak sempat nak cek ngan encik Hubby sebab dia yang nguruskan semua.

sorry ya fainie, I promise I will write about it soon.
*sha, sila jangan buat janji2 palsu ya =p

no, really!
I've been meaning to write about the house for quite sometimes.
tapi, haih..
as usual, lah.

macam cerita pasal kawin.
macam cerita bersalin.
semuanya sekerat jalan.

and ye, akhirnya dah setahun kami pindah rumah ni tapi cerita pun tak abih.

so, ok. this is our little crib.

Gambar waktu baru2 beli dulu.
Time ni baru dapat kunci, I was preggy with little Danish tapi sibuk2 jugalah nak pergi tengok rumah.

Wayar berselirat kat ceiling sebab lampu, elektrik semua tak masuk lagi.
Rumah pun belum cuci.

Time ni kontraktor baru siap buat plaster ceiling and Hubby tengah cat rumah dengan kawan dia.

We choose dark brown utk feature wall and cream color for base.

kaler yg selamat.
Sebab senang nak match dengan apa jua furniture pun, apa jua warna langsir.
Kalau tak kang mesti tiap tahun kena cat rumah plus tukar langsir baru sebab nak match dedua.

ye la, takkan wall hijau, langsir kaler merah pulak, kan.
harus tetamu datang beraya mengutuk zaman-berzaman.

And tak mungkin nak tukar langsir selalu sangat sebab nak pasang langsir tu pun kena guna tangga yang sangat tinggi hokey.

And tak mungkin larat nak cat every year sebab gila penat!
sebab the ceiling is very2 high.
That's why pilih warna selamat iaitu encik coklat.

Aku dah awal-awal pesan kat Hubby, feature wall je cat kaler pekat tu tapi Hubby tercat 2 dinding plak and time dia tengah operasi mengecat tu of cos aku takde sebab dihalang ke tempat kejadian sampai semuanya selesai so memang selamat sejahteralah dinding aku yang kat dining hall tu pun kaler dark brown ye.

Takkan nak cat balik, kan.
gilo aih.
dah cukup baik si dia yang tersayang sudi membanting tulang mengecat sendiri, kan.

and nasib baik bercadang nak letak cermin besar kat situ so mmg nampak elok je la dinding tu.

And this is the dry kitchen.
Tema adalah merah hitam ye.

Tengah bersepah sebab time ni baru angkut barang sikit2 so memang longgok semua kat dapur la. Dengan segala hadiah kawin, plastik2 ntah isi apa semua la.

All pict was taken by my E63 sebab takde DSLR lagi time tu kan.
Kamera pun takde so guna henpon cabuk sajalah.

Gambar yang lain akan diupload lain kali ya.
gambar master bedroom, family hall, tingkat atas, courtyard yg sekangkang kera, etc2.
...

Sebenarnya memang tak plan pun nak beli rumah lagi.
macam tiba2.
Memang ingatkan lagi 5, 10 tahun lah baru nak beli or buat rumah sendiri.
entah ye.
Sebab time jalan2 tu tiba2 nampak and tiba2 excited, and tiba2 terbeli.

Ada orang senang, tak payah nak susah-susah ngumpul duit dah dapat sebijik rumah.
Tapi bila hasil dari titik peluh sendiri, perasaannya memang tak tergambarlah.
Sangat excited hokey sebab macam tak sangka akhirnya kami berjaya miliki sebuah rumah sendiri before 30.

only god knows what we've gone thru to get to this phase.
alhamdulillah...

and last but not least, kawan-kawan... silalah LIKE my FB page ya : CHARMSandCOLORS
