Trip 1- Japanese Store! (and a little humble giveaway!)

 Hellloooo!

You have no idea how much I go "oooohhh ahhhhhh" over Japanese Stores. I love Japanese Stores, cuz they always have interesting & most importantly cheap goodies for sale!

Back then there was 100 yen, it was as fun as this one that I will be blogging about. It's so sad that 100 yen does not update or change their things more often...Probably because I rarely see a lot of people going there after a while. These things sometimes has phases, you know what I mean?

But I have always love their stuff anyways, it's just that they don't have anything new that is interesting as it was before..and the price has mostly gone up a bit. 

Anyhooooo, I got all excited about this newly opened shop, I found out about it even before it was open & went there few times with Jojoe already but didn't have the courage to ask whether I can take photos in the store..But somehow I got all hyper today, and here's a full post dedicated to it!:P

It's Tokutokuya!

So, are you ready to look at what they have inside? 

Ps: I had to combine all my photos cuz I took too much hhehehehehehe. 

Photo loaded post!

Okay, here's the main thing that got me all excited about this store. Too bad I am not like a huge, huge fan of Hello Kitty, (I used to be tho) but even when I am not anymore I still squeak like a little kid when I saw how much they have Hello Kitty cute cute things here!

 

Bags, plastic bags, paper bags, mirrors, pencil cases, dvd covers, you name it! The highest price I saw was only rm5.99. Not just for the Hello Kitty stuff, but for other things as well:)

 

 Even their plastic bags are so cute and pretty..o.O Perfect for gifts or crafts.

 They also have a Sesame Street's section, where the whole rack is full of the faces of Elmo, Cookie Monster and all the other Sesame Street's characters:D Not to forget Japanese cartoons; Doraemon, Melody..and the list goes on.;)

 

The photo above on the left is the photo I tweeted about during my first trip here, those are actually sushi molds :D 

 

It is so colorful :D 

Okay, you just have to come here if you're in town!;) If you're a freak over cute things especially. 

But I do hope that they're gonna update their things and start getting new stocks as well, cuz some of the racks are already showing some space..hehehe. Would love to see new things coming in, no?

I have something to do before ending this post...I have been wanting to do a give away for my readers for a long time now. But too bad this blog is still new, so I practically have no readers at all...

Would love love love seeing more random and new readers for this blog of mine so I could do give aways whenever I can!:D 

I actually bought few Hello Kitty stuff to give away for one lucky reader..

Maybe some of you lovelies can help me spread the news around?

I am giving away these..!

 

It's nothing much, obviously..but I really feel like a real fan of Hello Kitty would love these Lol:P 

I am honestly still not sure how I would give these away, but do comment, and LET ME KNOW! :D

If any of you are coming down to Miri & would love to check out this shop, it is next to PermyMall, quite easy to find. Details;

Spread the love people, and comment!:D 

Moisturize Madness!

Hellu!

If I have to pick one part of my body that I can change..that would probably my hands. 

Hey, hey. Don't get me wrong! I am thankful for what I have; for having my hands! Hehee.

Just IF.

Cuz...I don't have uhmm pretty hands. You know, lady like hands? 

My mom has prettier and softer hands compared to mine. Even my boyfriend's hands are softer! -.-'

I am a bit insecure about my hands..I can never let anyone or myself take photos of my hands. Lol.

..and I just had to belong to the category of people who love wearing rings. Sigh.Life.Haha.

That's the reason why I am a bit addicted to hand moisturizers,hand creams & lotions. 

The latest one I bought was the Nivea Q10 age defying cream, (just because Mariannan uses them HAHA)

and I'd have to say that it works quite well! It does not feel sticky after applying, but I am not really a fan of the smell, though it smells quite nice..but I prefer fruity fresh smells.:P 

I actually have tried more than these, but most of it doesn't do much. 

Sometimes I just like buying the mini ones that I can throw in my handbag, because I think they're essential!

Specially when it is one of the days when I had some Lalapan!;) 

You wouldn't want your hands to be smelly, no?Teehee.

Do let me know if you have tried fawesome hand cream!

I'd like to try them too.:)

Review 1- Nature Republic's Rice Mask Sheet

 Hello!
My best friend asked me the other day, do I still wear mask regularly?
I stopped for a while, probably around a month or so because of my allergies.
I couldn't just apply or use any sort of skin care or any mask or whatsoever.
I can't even put on some perfume!-.-

For few weeks I had no protection on my face.-.-

But fret not, it's all A-Okay now. Well, at least it wasn't as bad anymore.
The answer is yes, I still do apply/wear/use (haha) masks at least three times a month.
Sometimes more.

I haven't been trying out new masks cuz I am worried that it might damage my skin..so even if I feel like
trying new ones, I have to choose the brands that I am already familiar with.

This time it is Nature Republic's Rice Sheet Mask!:D
I somehow fall under the dry skin category but not too dry; plus the T zone area which is a bit more oily than the rest.
 

This particular mask sheet is for dry skin, it helps to moisturize your skin. 

I'd have to warn the people who has oily skin, this product is very moisturizing. But of course they'll definitely help you to choose which one is best for you! 

They have a lot of other kinds for this range, all I did was just let the kind lady to take a look at my face and recommend which suits my skin better. (: 

So before putting it on, I popped it into the fridge for 15 minutes or so. 

 

 

 Ahhh, before I forget, make sure your face is clean before putting it on! You can go & wash your face while waiting for your mask to cool in the fridge;)

I am currently using Fresh Farm Cleanser by Nature Republic as well. 

  

It works well for me, although I'd have to say sometimes it does not clean that well. How did I know this?

When applying toner, I use cotton pads & I can see sometimes it's a bit brown-ish which comes from the dirt on my face even after I cleanse it with my facial cleanser. -.-

Will probably change back to ZA's cleanser right after I finish this one. 

 

Like other mask sheets, it's gonna look like so. Honestly I don't favor mask sheets like these anymore simply because I feel like it is messier and a bit more tedious to put on compared to the bottled masks.

I'd have to dig into the packet & get the juices all over my fingers..Uhhhmmm. Not fun at all.:|

Bottled is way much easier to apply, you just need to squeeze it out and use a brush to even it out on your skin!  

Anyhoo, back to this mask! This is how my skin looks like before putting it on..not that you can tell the difference that much teeeheeee.

 

 Left it on for about 15minutes.

It feels uhh a bit weird compared to other masks I have tried before. Personally I think it was a bit too moisturizing. Usually after putting masks on, I would just leave the mask's juice on my face & go right to bed! But not for this one. I had to wash it off cuz it felt all sticky and I didn't like it:3

The bright side of it is that my skin immediately felt all moisturized and soft right after! The next morning my face looks a bit brighter :D

I would rate it 2 hearts out of five.
♥♥

Worth to try, if you need something moisturizing.;)

Photologue + Monologue 18.

 Hello.
I am somehow full of negative emotions today. I stayed home, baby sitting.
I forgot how blogging had always make me feel so much better; ohhhey here I am!

 My work station.
As if I have work to do.-.-'

 I dislike hate reading sad stories. It is probably because I am always a little bit too sensitive.
..and the best friend just had to recommend me to read the saddest book ever!

 I managed not to cry, though.:D
Not sure whether I should be proud of myself..or the other way around.

Had to make some effort to at least feel happy inside. 

"Ohheysss, I haz armpits & huge arms." :D
