Cupcakes for V-day!

Im usually not that cheesy, hardworking & I have never baked cupcakes before in my life!
But oh well, decided to do something special since it's our 1st Valentine together.
It's super easy, you can take short cuts like me, like getting a prepared cake mix & voila! guarantee edible hehe.

Prepare everything the box tells you to & do accordingly. Won't go wrong if you follow the instruction. (the cream chesse suppose to be for the frosting...opsss)

End result for the cake mix. Looks soooo chocolatey... me love!

Prepare the frosting. Ok the box doesn't teach you on how to do the frosting, so here's the recipe
1 block of cream cheese
1 1/2 cups icing sugar (I used 2 cups, turned out too sweet, make it lesser if you're health concious)
2/3 from a block of butter
2 tsp of vanilla extract
1 drop of red food coloring (for my pink coloured cupcakes)

1. Blend butter & cream cheese with mixer.
2. Slowly add in icing sugar.
3. Add in vanilla extract & food colouring if preffered.

End result should be like this. Smooth & creamy. You can just dip the top of your cupcake & twirl it. You can also pipe the frosting to create nice decor

Garnishing my cupcakes with strawberries, white choco chips & silver sugar balls

Final result!! Ta da!! Guess the message, haha!

The extras for the family & my neighbour. I told them it's me wishing them Happy Valentine with these but they knew these are the extras & I need people to finish it up, but hey! it tasted good ok ^.^

Go & try!

Daiso haul!

If you have been following me on Twitter, you should that I'm madly obsessed with Daiso.
I felt happy just being there, looking at stuff over & over.
The ordeal would lasted AT LEAST one hour.
Probably because its a Japanese store (me love!), everything RM5 & alot kawaii, useful stuff.
If I mention to my boyfriend that I wanted to go to Daiso (he's my driver ^.^), my boyfriend will always give me that 'what?? again?? what you wanna buy wor??' look.
Frankly, I usually doesn't have a thing in mind on what I wanna get in Daiso but I always end up with something :P
Here's my latest haul!

Cushions & lavender sachet (for my car), flower puncher (to do my artsy-fartsy stuff), black eyelash glue (beauty stuff - for my false lashes, although I rarely use them, but hey! it's only RM5! Use black ones so it doesn't show), pie baking pan (I'm infected with a baking bug), pet toy (Micki's)

I'm itching to go again already!

I love looking at people's loots...
So, here's mine from my Bangkok trip.

Ridiculously cheap good eyeshadows

Was shopping in The Mines (Seri Kembangan) and found this shop 
'Sera Cosmetics' (next to Hot Market, 2nd floor)
selling amazingly good eyeshadows in array of 
colors for RM 5 each pan!
They even throw in a free sixer refill palatte (to hold the pans) if you purchase 6 colors or a free 12-colors pan refill palette if you purchase 12 colors.
All these plus a free clear lip gloss!
OMG!
It cost the same as Elianto's normal eyeshadow pan but this is 10x better.
It's very pigmented, creamy, shimmery (even without base) and stays on all day.
So if you are just experimenting or looking for alot of colors to play with, but are too poor (like me, sob) to purchase branded ones, this is heaven sent!


Creamy, very pigmented, shimmery eyeshadows

I know the logo is kinda fugly, but oh well, it's free!~

Apple Cider Vinegar + Green Tea Toner

Wahh my 100th post. (*≧▽≦) 
I've found the best toner ever and it doesn't even cost a dime!
Best of all, it really works and it's chemical & preservative free!
I've been using this for 3 weeks and my usual oil slick face are now less oily.
No blotting now for every 3 hours.
No major breakouts.
No crazy friggin' pizza face day.
This toner works best for oily skin. It's acidity is not suitable for dry skin.
Apple Cider Vinegar's acidity will naturally exfoliate, renew and balance skin's PH while Green Tea is loaded with anti-oxidants that aids anti-ageing.

All you need is :
Apple Cider Vinegar ( I use Bragg's Unfiltered ACV, I like em' au naturel)
Green Tea 
Glass bottle

I mix about 1/3 or 1 big spoonful of ACV into half cup of brewed green tea (cool it off first).
You don't have to make a full bottle, half of it should be enough.
I changed mine fresh after 2 weeks.

Caution!
Use sunblock everyday because the ACV mixture will make your skin thinner and more susceptible to sun damage.
