Unboxing Muffin Beauty Box review

 Muffin.my is the largest beauty review website in Malaysia and will be launched this June. I always find this website genre quite interesting because it helps people to know the product that they want to buy better. Like if i want to buy a nice worthy concealer and didn't know which brand would be nicer, i can just go on muffin.my and checked out the reviews and all the product range offered. 

I got the beauty box in just 3 working days! I always love receiving beauty boxes because all the surprise you can get when unboxing it. 


 A little "love" note from Muffin.my
Still deciding which to review on :D

 looking through the box. i spot two full size product and the rest are masks, sample sheets, and mini size products. 
 In fact it is quite alot of brand in this one box and i'm pretty excited to try everything. 

 First up is Purevivi cleansing lotion which is good in removing make up, 
i had been searching one of this thing very very long ago, because all i see was "removes eye and lips make up", it's quite hard to search for those cleansing lotions that can remove your entire face. 
i'm going to review on this shortly~

 a handlot of sample sheets and masks (:
consist of : 
1. Albatross Powder Sun
2. Clinelle EE cream (i didn't know of such thing until now haha)
3. Albatross CC cream

 Next is two silkygirl product
1. lip balm 
2. Blusher 
and i got this too! which i find it quite amusing yet impress that muffin.my can read me well because i can't eat chocolate and they gave me Strawberry instead haha. 
anyway, i don't think this can show any result just by eating two of this bar anyway~ (muffin.my is an unbiased review website)

For more review
do stay tune (:

  • implikasi ideologi: sistem sosial pra kapitalis diganti dengan kemunculan kelas bourgeois(elit pemerintah) mengesah demokrasi mereka melalui rasional sitem politik demokrasi
  • implikasi terhadap kajian media:
  • walaupun teori ini kelemahan, but it is influential. diguna sebagai asas falsafah dan kajian awal media
  • Britain: perdebatan dilakukan dalam konteks budaya, budaya tinggi yang telah dicemari oleh budaya massa

Fighting to forget

it's going to be the end of year now. 
to think that so much had changed in just such short period of time
when the person you once used to know so deeply had eventually become a stranger

I'm sure nobody knows why i did that, nor when no matter what rumors had flooded into their ear, they just analyse things at their own point of view. 
i can't blame them, what i did was wrong or maybe just plain selfish.

but i chose not to hide, in other words, i made a decision to choose and not be greedy. Being greedy will be even sinful. you can't have two, your heart can only affords for one.
and i'm sure there will be still others waiting for me to fall down and laughed and mockingly tell me " i told you so,"

which in fact, i can't help it they had created this thoughts of theirs because what i did was wrong. you know i used to think that way to somebody else who had did the same thing to my friend. I loathed her for a reason. 
When i'm in her shoes, it's a different story. (well maybe in her case, it's another special reason)

But had they dig deeper and ask why is it that i did that. 
They think it's easy, but no, it's not. 
Up until now i'm still reminiscing. 
Up until now it haunts me in my sleep.
like this morning.. i woke up in tears.
just to realize, maybe it was the memories that matters, not the person anymore. 

and i got my answer now, there's no turning back. i need to focus, i need to pull my strings together and look forward instead of keep going back. 
There's someone there in front of me , but i keep looking back. it's not fair . Not fair for both sides.

move on, girl, just move on. 
No matter how many memories that loops around me all the time, 
how many things i try to clear off but can't because there's just too many in 3 years

i chose this
i had to remind myself from time to time, again and again. 
it's my decision.

He, 
is waiting for me infront. 
Goodbye, past.

xoxo
