I love CosmoBox!

So there's a new trend going around lately and that is.... *drum roll* Beauty boxes! Here's how these wonders work:
A mysterious box of goodies right at your doorstep? It's like having your birthday or Christmas early!
In Malaysia, one of many beauty boxes brands is the CosmoBox, run by Box Culture
For April 2013, they introduced the limited edition, Cosmobox x Plasterdoll® Collector's Edition Beauty Box!

List of goodies included:
1. L'oreal Professional Mademoiselle Infinium Hairspray (in partnership with Lady Gaga’s stylist Charlie Le Mindu)
2. Benefit’s Benetint Rose-Tinted Lip and Cheek Stain
3. Sothys Hydra- Nourishing Body Lotion
4. Murad's Age Reform Refreshing Cleanser
5. The Nail Shop 2D Nail Tips
6. RM 50 voucher from Senze Studio
7. Velcro Hair Grip



  My favourite item: Benefit's Benetint Rose-Tinted Lip and Cheek Stain

Why? Because  I have always wanted to try a stain that works for both lip AND cheek. I like how a stain not only allows you to gradually build the intensity of the colour to suit your occasion, but is long lasting too which means less need for re-applying! Since it's for both lip and cheeks, it would also be very convenient and space saving to just bring one item instead of two when you're out and about. Overall, this product would definitely be worth the investment!

What will yours be?

Mrs Midas by Carol Ann Duffy - Stop Motion


For English, my friend and I made a stop motion video to accompany the poem 'Mrs Midas' written by Carol Ann Duffy. It took her hours of drawing & filming! Tell me what you think in the comments below!

How I Met Your Mother (S08E23)

Episode Title: "Something Old"

*SPOILER ALERT*SPOILER ALERT*

  For all of you that do not know, I've been keeping up with HIMYM (How I Met Your Mother) for a while now & I LOVE it. Although I do wonder when they will finally show Ted's wife!


  Nevertheless, I really loved this episode! Not only do you find out something new and vulnerable about the 'tough' and independent woman Robin is, but with Ted as well (: I thought this episode was a little nostalgic and sad due to Marshall & Lily leaving to Italy, leaving Ted behind whilst Robin and Barney are planning to get married...

  The focus in the episode was definitely on Ted has he discovers more about inner-self. From this episode, I can't help but think that Ted may be the better choice for Robin than Barney is... although seeing that played out on screen will be incredibly saddening & heartbreaking :/ But, that can't be the case (or can it...?)

  Question: What will happen to Robin & Barney's relationship? Will Ted be involved in some way? I can't wait for the next episode!

Btw, if that ^^^ happens, I will flip tables.

Once Upon A Time (S02E21)

Episode Title: "Second Star to the Right"

*SPOILER ALERT*SPOILER ALERT*
So if you do not wish to find out what happens, close your eyes and keep scrolling (:



  Once Upon A Time is one of those TV series that can be very interesting as it mushes fairytale stories and adds a slight twist into them - which I love. However, I always wonder whether they'll run out of stories and there's only so much they can do before it starts getting ridiculous!  

I thought today's episode was one of the best yet - the episode that I was waiting for amidst all the drama! It was just the right amount of intense and I actually felt myself being scared for Neal and Regina. The plot of Once Upon A Time has been stagnant and very 'meh' so far... but I hope they're starting to pick up following this one!

 I loved how they incorporated the story of Peter Pan and the little evil twist they put on it that's contrary to the Disney version. I thought the 'quest' Tamara & Neal are embarking on could turn out both ways. Interesting or ridiculous cause the idea is rather far-fetched to begin with.

  But, this episode ended on a few cliff hangers which I am excited to get answers to! How did Neal escape Captain Hook? Did he survive going through the portal? Will the residents of Storybrook be able to stop Tamara & Neal from using the trigger?
