Mineral make-up

Saya sgt la suka dgn mineral makeup. semua org pun tau kulit saya ni problematic. sejak dh kawin ni lg la teruk.

imbas kembali jap...
dulu masa skola2 mmg saya ada jerawat tp sikit sana, sikit sini, lps tu hilang la. mmg x kisah sgt la sbb eventually ok balik. lps dh habis form 5, fulamak... saya sgt la hepi sbb kulit xde problem sgt. setakat jerawat sikit2, normal la... teenagers kan. so kalau di tgk secara keseluruhan kire kulit cantik la.

lps tu pulak masuk U. 4 thn kat U pun sama je mcm time skola2. ada jerawat tp x teruk. habis U pun lebih kurang mcm tu gak la condition kulit. saya sgt la hepi sbb xde problem kulit sgt.

lps tu kursus matrikulasi. 1 thn 1 bln je course tu. x lama. kat sana jumpe saleh. risau jugak mula2 tu sbb org cakap kalau ber boyfren ni nnt bleh byk jerawat. tp alhamdulillah ok je. mmg la ada jerawat occasionally, tp no big deal.

of course la, lps dh ada boyfren & dh dating 5 tahun... kitorg pun kawin. kulit still ok. masa kawin, mmg saya cun melecun. hahaha... perasan kejap ye. anyway, kulit ok, nk makeup pun senang je.

TAPIIIII... bile dh masuk 3 thn kawin rasa nye... tiba2 byk jerawat. xtau knape tiba2 byk jerawat. dh la jerawat jenis yg besar2 & meninggalkan parut yg dalam. hati ini sedih bagai nk rak. knape la saya. tgk org2 lain kulit cantik mmg jeles sgt. senang cakap, xyah tgk org kulit cantik la. tgk org2 yg kulit biasa2 je pun jd jeles. bkn la kulit dia cantik sgt tp at least dia xde jerawat. huwaaaaaaa... sedih oooo. camne la saya bleh ada jerawat pada usia yg dh lewat ni. dulu xde la smpi mcm ni. bila saya baca2 forum, rupe2 nye mmg ada org yg kena jerawat masa umur dh melepasi zaman remaja... adult acne namanye. dan slalu nye adult acne ni lg teruk dr teen acne. time2 mcm ni la kadang2 terpikir balik... ha tu la, hepi sgt lps form 5 xde skin problem. kan dh kena. pernah skali tu masa skola menengah, saya tgk ada member tu kulit muka penuh jerawat... bkn jerawat kecik2 ok, tp besar2 & merah2. dh la certain siap nanah2 lg. masa tu saya kesian sgt2 tgk dia. mmg self esteem dia very very low la. mcm xtau mana nk letak muka. tp, lps habis skola menengah & bila saya terserempak dgn dia... fuyooo, kulit dia mcm telur dikupas. perfect! saya tnye kat member yg agak rapat dgn dia... rupe2 nye kulit dia teruk dlm 2 thn je. lps tu mmg terus elok. tnye la kalau2 dia ada buat treatment ke, member dia kata mana ada. slowly baik, then elok terus. and saya pun yakin dia x buat treatment, sbb saya tau family background dia mcm mana. zaman2 tu plak, cosmetic treatment mahal. even now pun still mahal. treatment makin moden, downtime practically xde dh, equipment makin canggih... mau nye x mahal. anyway, recently ada terserempak dgn dia lg, mmg kulit dia cantik gile. dh jeles kat dia plak. dulu kesian dia, skarang jeles plak. itu la dunia. yg buruk tu x semesti nya always buruk, dan yg cantik tu x semesti nya always cantik.

bila kulit saya dh x cantik skarang ni, kepala otak ni dok pikir mcm2. nk buat treatment ke x... sbb saya kedekut, dh byk tahun postpone. dulu ada la buat a few times, tp sbb treatment ni kena buat kerap baru nmpk hasil. kalau stop habisla. part yg nk kena buat kerap tu yg x tahan. kalau saya cop duit xpe. jd nye, buat masa ni redha je la. dh ada baby pun, x elok bazir kat muka. w/pun saya rasa muka ni x cantik... rasa2 ramai lg yg x cantik dr saya. hahaha... btul la kan. kalau kite rasa kite byk masalah, ada org lain lg byk masalah. kalau kite rasa kite x cukup duit, ada org lain lg x cukup duit. slalu nye mmg mcm tu.

anyway, rupa ni very superficial. bila dh tua, kalau cantik mana pun, kedut tetap kedut. rambut tetap beruban. badan akan tetap akan worn out. mata tetap rabun. so basically kite akan tua. x payah la bagai nk gile pikir camne nk stay cantik. asal kemas, wangi, sedap mata memandang... kire ok tu. camne2 pun bkn xde org yg buat keje gile just nk stay cantik... botox la, vit c injection la, plastic surgery la, ini la, itu la. then bila muka tegang semcm xnk ngaku inject botox. piiirah. so obvious lg nk deny ke... idiots. hahahah.

aiii byk nye citer pre-amble... so berbalik kite ke citer psl mineral makeup td.

sejak sblm kawin lg dh pakai mineral makeup ni. tp sbb rasa mcm leceh nk pakai vs compact powder, apa2 mineral makeup yg dh beli tu, saya simpan aje. mineral makeup yg saya beli ni xde expiry date. ye la kan, semua natural ingredients, xde la expiry date dia. lps dh 3 thn kawin, tiba2 byk jerawat... start pakai balik mineral makeup ni. mmg byk membantu (kalau yg btul2 guna natural ingredients). lps izz dh lahir, ingat nk senang so switch ke compact powder. nyesal x sudah. terus naik byk jerawat. lps tu switch balik ke mineral makeup. so ok la lps tu.

br2 ni stok mineral makeup yg dibeli sblm ni dh nak habis. saya plan nk order la mcm biasa. malang nye... peniaga yg jual ni dh x menjual lg. saya beli direct dr US, dr org yg buat mineral makeup tu sendiri. online business. harga murah. kualiti pun ok. since dia dh x jual, kena la carik brand lain pulak. skarang ni kat m'sia dh ramai penjual mineral makeup. harga pun xde mahal sgt. kalau nk bandingkan dgn harga2 yg jual kat US mmg la mahal skit, tp lebih kurang je kalau dh campur shipping semua. tp dlm byk2 brand yg ada kat m'sia, yg saya nk xde la plak... saya berkenan dgn Joppa Minerals.

Sblm ni saya pernah order samples dr Joppa & Meow Cosmetics tp x penah guna pun sbb dh suka dgn brand yg dh x jual lg tu. jd nye skarang bole la cuba samples dr Joppa & Meow. samples yg saya beli pulak, punye la byk. foundation samples, 10 dr Joppa & 10 dr Meow saya beli. time tu ada sale rasa nye. murah. dlm byk2 shades tu, puas la dok sort & compare mana shade yg plg dekat dgn shade mineral foundation yg dh x jual lg tu. mmg payah gak la nk jumpe exact match. mula2 try Meow, shade yg dicuba tu agak light. nk cuba yg shade lain dr Meow... x bwk la pulak. semua kat rumah Putrajaya. yg bwk, lg light dr yg dicuba ada la. so try Joppa la pulak. shade pertama yg dicuba jugak agak light. pegi ofis ada org tegur knape pakai bedak tebal sgt. malu ooo. nasib la time tu dh nk habis dh sample yg tu. agak2 nye selama saya pakai shade tu, mesti ada org tgk muka saya gomak gile tp x bgtau pun. teruk btul. cakap la. kalau awal2 tau, xde la terus pakai. anyway, mula2 pakai nmpk ok, tp lama2, nmpk jd light. so move on to the next Joppa shade. agak bangga sbb ada 1 hari tu saleh cakap "lawa awak makeup". kembang kejap. hehe. smpi hari ni masih pakai shade yg tu... bkn sbb saleh puji ye tp sbb sample dia x habis2 lg. lama la pulak nk habis. tp still saya rasa shade ni masih agak light. lps ni nk try the next Joppa shade pulak... harap2 ok la. bleh beli full size terus. x larat la nk mencuba sample je. nk buang sayang. tu yg kalau dh cuba, try jugak habiskan. kalau la ada org tgk saya, dan tertanye2 knape muka saya gomak je... ni la sbb nye ye. hehehe :P

anyway, mineral makeup xde la membantu in the sense hilangkan jerawat saya atau parut2 nya. tp at least ia x menambahkan jerawat. itu pun dh kire ok utk saya. saya bersyukur :)

ni stok2 mineral makeup saya, yg ada kat rumah kajang. kat rumah putrajaya berlambak lg. x bwk ke kajang sbb x pakai sgt.

samples from Meow Cosmetics. i only tried the one on bottom right. the rest are even much lighter than my skin color. texture wise, very nice. these foundations provide full coverage (they do have different types of foundations providing different types of coverage). This would be my last option as it's a bit pricey. shipping is also quite expensive.

back view for the color shades. i've finished the one on bottom right :D

samples from Signature Minerals. they come in the jar, not in the usual sample baggie. texture wise, ok. coverage wise, very light (I don't like it as it doesn't cover blemishes). Price is ok. I bought it from a Malaysian online shop called SimplyNaturale.

Back view for the color shades. Both color don't suit me. The light one is too yellow and the dark one is simply too dark. Btw, these come in pre-set trial package, so I don't really have the option to choose what foundation color I want.

Joppa samples. All these are medium shade and too dark for me. They came in sample baggies, and I put them in my own mini jars :)

These are light color shades. I've tried #1, and now using #2. Both are a little too light for me, so I'm really looking forward to try #3. Joppa do have #2.5 but I didn't buy that sample because it's too yellow. All Joppa samples I bought are full coverage. They do have different types of foundations providing different types of coverage.

Signature Minerals full size concealer (also bought from SimplyNaturale). I used it only several times as I'm just too lazy to put concealer first, then foundation. I prefer to use foundation straight away. Nowadays they even have something called concealer-foundation (very creative huh). Why put concealer and foundation separately when you can put them at one go. hehe. Btw, I tried using the concealer as foundation but it just doesn't work. Not sure if it's the brand or, concealer just can't be foundation.

Back view for the color shade. It's called Bisque btw.

This is the only blush sample I have with me in kajang. I don't bother bringing anything else as I only use this most of the time.

Back view for the color shade. It looks very little but lasts very long. I don't use it that often anyway.

This is the foundation that i have grown to love but is no longer in production. This is my last jar. Haven't even opened it yet. Sayang la. The very last jar I have.

My kabuki brush. Synthetic. Absolutely fantastic. Tried natural goat hair or something before but I didn't like it because of the shedding. anyway, i bought this kabuki from a person selling in a forum. Can't remember it anymore. It's also available from SimplyNaturale.

My other makeup accessories. Yup, those are it. On lazy days (most days nowadays), I don't even bother to wear the eyeliner and lip balm.
