Hello September.


August is about to end and I can't believe that we go for more than half year. It's time to do the favourite of the month of August as I've discovered something new and I like it so I would love to share it with you.

The first things I've been loving is the Diorskin Star Concealer as I wrote a post about it here. This is expensive compare to the good drugstore one but I think it worth the money because it does the job very well in covering my blemishes. One day I've been to a very hot sweaty outdoor market, all my friend's makeup melted and she look at my face and ask why you makeup still be in place, then I realise that I haven't wear any foundation but this concealer. I'd recommend give it a try if you want a long-lasting and doesn't break the skin out.

The Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler is also one of my favourites. I've wanted for so long but I never bought it because it's a little bit pricy. At first I don't think that different eyelash curlers would make such a huge different but after wondering in a beauty store, I decide to give it a try because I got some discount. I felt in love because it doesn't hurt my eye like the other one does, and it give more curl as well. It's a good investment in beauty accessory!

I also love the Topshop Lipstick in Mescaline which I randomly place order on FeelUnique because it's on sale to 4£. I don't think I'm gonna end up loving it but I like it as it's similar to the Mac limited edition one that come out long time ago which I can't remember the name. In the website, it's just a nude one but actually it has shimmer on which make it more beautiful. I don't think this lipstick is available anymore because I can't find it on both FeelUnique and Topshop website.

After looking for a cute card holder for a while, I spot the Rose Gold Accessorize Card Holder in store and instantly in love with it because it's rose gold and it's so affordable. I think it's already run out of stock as I purchase it a week ago and I can't find it on the website anymore. When you carry a small bag that couldn't fit your wallet, card holder is very necessary.

As I'm into blogging more now, I decided to invent something new for better quality of photograph. I recently bought the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Lens Fixed. It's affordable for only 60£ and it make a very clear and better quality image than my kit lens one. It blurs the background and make the object so clear.

I think that's all I have been loving this month.

Do you favour anything this recently?

Sabai-Arom Jasmine Hand Cream


Following from the empty product post that I ran out of a good hand cream, I've been after the good new one for so long. I used to love the Erb Jasmine Hand cream ,however, it's a little bit expensive.

I flipped through the ELLE magazine and spot the Sranrom Hand Cream. It amazed me that a Thai brand is on ELLE so I decide to search for a shop in Thailand but there is no Sranrom available in the country that produced. Luckily someone told me that this hand cream is available in Thailand but in the name of Sabai-arom and it's available in Boots, so I ran to Boots and pick it up.

I decide to try the Jasmine collection because the Erb one that I love is also in Jasmine scent. I love Thai brands as it always has the eastern scent like Jasmine. It come in a tube like the Erb one and it's huge compare to the price. This one is 75g compared to the price of 215 baht or around only 4£.

This is not greasy but not sink immediately to your skin like the Loccitane one and it smells heavenly!! This hand cream will last for ages so I'd recommend to those who want to try some eastern style hand cream and the price is very affordable as well.

This one available internally in the name of Sranrom brand so if you want to try you can check out the link above.

See you next time!

Sone Goodies From FeelUnique.


Always being a shopaholic, recently I did sneak around feelunique website and do a late night shopping. I'm looking for some moisturiser and I see the A-Derma Creme De Soin, so I decided to pick it up. I also get some free sample in the package and a little note :), so thank you who sent me this even you didn't write your name.

I was after a moisturiser that is thicker that my Clinique Dramatically Moisturiser Gel and see this one which it claimed to threats the sensitive skin so I take a look and decide to pick it up. It's also fragrant free and paragon free which I prefer because I don't like the scented skincare.

It doesn't have any smell. The texture is very thick which I think would be good for dry skin like mine. I first try it on my hand and I can feel the different in 2 days that the dry area around the cuticle which always get dry is better. Then I try it on my face, and after using for 2 weeks, I feel that my face is smoother because it's much richer than the Clinique one. I think it's good for winter but not sunmer so I use the Clinique Gel one in the morning and before my makeup and use this one at night.

Overall I like this one and this doesn't cause any spot on my face so I will keep using it and if it turns to be my new love, I'll put it in one of my favourite post soon!

Have you ever use this one and how you think about this?

Kiehl's Recent Purchase.

Hello Friends!!

Because it's summer and it's Thailand, the weather is very hot and it make my skin getting oily and dry at the same time so I've changed some of my skincare and trying some new product. I feel like sharing some of my opinion and how the product does to my skin with you, so here is some review for skincare I've tried lately.

I heard from my friends that they like Kiehl's product and I really like their lip balm so I decide to pick the moisturiser and toner up.


I've bought the Calendula Herbal Extract Alcohol Free Toner from my friend's recommendation. I love the smell of it, it's not a fragrant but it smell like some kind of Chinese tea. This toner claimed to sooth problem skin and balance the skin. I don't think it make a huge different on my skin but I can feel after 5 weeks of using it that my skin getting a little bit smoother. I'm not sure that I'm gonna repurchase it but so far I like it.

I also looking for the alternative moisturiser for my Clinique one so I went to Khiel's shop and the lady at the shop recommend The Blue Herbal Moisturiser to me because I have some spot on my face and she said that this one means to clear my skin and prevent any breakout. After 2 weeks of using this one I can feel that my skin is clearer and I think I like it at first. However, after that around 3-4 weeks, I can feel that this make my skin dry because it contains alcohol and it also break me out more than before using it.

I still love Kiehl's product ever thought the moisturiser break me out. I love their lip balm and toner but not the moisturiser. I'd love to try more of their product, so let me know if you have any recommendation of what I should try?

see you next time!

Chillin' Day.


It's a time when professor decide to end the class early and you have no plan. Me and my friends went to the Maharaj pier near the uni again and hang around trying new pop-up store drinks. The weather is very nice and sunny, but it's so hot.

We had the time enjoying some drinks from shop called Lamoons, which is the Thai Vintage drink. I'd recommend trying the Chinese Black Jelly with milk, it's good but I don't like the red bean one.

I recommend you to come and visit Tha Maharaj, there are many things that you would enjoy, and don't forgot to come after the sunset as well, it's beautiful.

Empty Product.

Hello Friends!

After a while collecting trash of product I've sued up, it's tie for the empties! I've used up some skincare and makeup product, some I like and some I hate, so I think I give you a little bit of opinion on those products and if you're interesting, all the product will be linked down below.



L'Occitane Lavande Hand Cream 
This is the hand cream that smell very good and it doesn't feel greasy on your hand that you can apply it and use your phone without any grease mark on screen. I love the formula and the scent as well, and definitely repurchase it.

Soap & Glory Scrubatomic Amazing Daily Face Polish
I've already repurchase it but unfortunately I've some breakout on my face so I can't use it anymore. Overall I love the peachy smell of this product and it works well and didn't break me out at all.

Sephora Express Cleansing Wipe
I didn't intend to buy this but I ran out of my old boots face wipes which I prefer but it just out of stock everywhere, so I have to pick this up. I prefer my old boots one because this one irritate my eye and make my skin so dry, and I would not repurchase it again.

The BodyShop Camomile Cleansing Oil 
This is the best cleansing oil, it doesn't irritate my eyes or break me out. Sometime in the winter when the weather is a little bit dry, I love to use this oil to clean my skin and it take all the makeup off. I might repurchase it again in the winter.

Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturiser Gel
My most favourite moisturiser, doesn't clog pore, doesn't feel heavy or greasy. It's a gel formula. I also love the lotion but in summer when you tend to sweat a lot, gel formula would be better. I've  already repurchase this one.

Loreal True Match Foundation
This foundation does the job very well as a medium coverage foundation. I love this so much but after my skin start to get dry, I would prefer the Lucent Magique one which make my face look a little bit glow.

Topshop Magic Liner
This is my most favourite pen eyeliner, and I've already repurchase it. The only cons for this product is it is not available in my country so I have to order it from feelunique.com and it take a while to come and it's not always available there. I wish Topshop beauty is available in every Topshop.

Collection Perfection Concealer
My second tube now and I love it. But after I discover the Deerskin Star Concealer, I prefer that one more. I might repurchase it again if I feel like using the drugstore one.

Soap&Glory The Righteous Butter
I love this body butter, but it takes so long to finish it even I bought the travel size one.I love it for the winter weathers, it's too thick for summer time. It smells so good, and I would definitely repurchase it again in the winter.

L'Occitane Hand Cream / Soap&Glory Scrubatomic / Boot Simple face wipes / Sephora Express face wipes / Bodyshop cleaning oil / Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturisers Gel / Loreal True Match Foundation / Topshop Magic Liner / Collection Concealer / Soap&Glory Body Butter

My Thought on A Book.


Hello Friends!! 

After I got a week off school I decided to grab a book that I bought a several month ago, and finish it.  I love reading but during the uni, I don't get that much time because my course has a lot of (boring) required reading. 

First I bought this book because I love Zoella and I want to read her book. I heard that she didn't write it all by herself but I don't care because all of the character and the plot come out from her ideas. By overlooking that point, I think I enjoy reading it. I love that this story happened in Brighton which I've been before. I actually love reading teen novel like this one which is easy to read and the story goes continually. 

Some people might don't like this book in the fact that Zoe didn't write it all by herself, but I love it and I'm looking forward for the second book. I the cover, I think it's very cute. I prefer the paper back one however, when I bought this book, the paperback version had not yet to come out. 

Overall I like this book because the story and partly because the author. I love watching Zoe video on Youtube and I'm looking forward for the second book which is the Girl Online on Tour. 

If you like the easy reading book I'd recommend give this book a go, it's enjoyable!

Perfect Concealer.


Hello Friends!!

Today post will be about my new favourite concealer, the Diorskin Star concealer. Dior have many kind of concealer like the stick forms and the highlighter one. I pick this one up because I like the applicator and the packaging look classic but beautiful.

When it come to concealer, I prefer one that can cover my redness and not too dry because my skin tend to be combination to dry skin. Every day I need to wear make up, I just do my usual skincare followed by sunscreen and follow by my concealer. It does the job well by covering my redness and at the end of the day (usually evening), it still on my face.

At first I think why I need that expensive concealer because the collection concealer still does their job, but after my face experience a lot of break out from the Maybelline mineral concealer and my skin was dry and the collection if too dry for my skin, I decided to give this one a try. This doesn't break me out at all and the coverage is good. It doesn't dry and as my skin tend to be oily around T zone during the day, this doesn't gone off.

I would say this concealer is my new favourite ever thought it's a bit expensive for the concealer, but it worth the price. I use it everyday since I bought it about a month ago and soar it works very well.

Do you fancy trying new product?

See you next time <3

Andriod and iOS Apps Favourites.


Hello internet friends!!

Today I've my favourite apps for you and as I use both iOS and Android, I think this would be great ideas to compare and tell you what apps I love in both operations.

Snapchat
Overall I love to take photo on iPhone more than android because I think the quality is better, so I love to use snapchat on my iPhone. This app is very fun because it's like you watching Youtube but in real time. I follow many Youtubers on snapchat and it make me know what they're doing or where they are. This app basically allows you to send picture to your friends but it will stay for 10 second after they opened. If you love snapchat like me, you can add me : thepalis

Instagram
I also addicted to Instagram and I use it both in my iPhone and Android. I think I don't have to say much about Instagram because almost every people tend to use it now but basically you post picture on it. I love seeing people in Instagram and discover new places. Mine is @thepalis

VSCO
For Instagram, I love to edit my picture on VSCO cam which I don't tend to use their filter but I love that I can adjust the exposure which you can't do on Instagram editing function.

Spotify and 8Tracks
For music, I prefer Spotify on iphone and 8tracks on android. I love discovering music on Spotify and see what my friends listen to. I don't know that its just my country or Spotify doesn't seem to e available on android, so I use 8Tracks instead and it's okay but you cannot choose the songs to listen to.

Disney Tsum Tsum
The cutest game ever! They are the disney character in the capsule form and what you have to do is connect it. It's very fun and addictive. This game available on both android and iPhone but I prefer on android because my samsung is much bigger that iPhone. Check out the link if you love cute disney character like me here.

Do you have any apps recommendation to any favourite apps? tell me in the comment! :D

See you next time <3

Bangkok ArtBox Market.


About a week ago, I saw some of my friends post a picture on their Facebook about the Bangkok Art Box Market so me and my friends decided to go and explore a little bit today. 

This market is very simple, it's a containers which I think very cute idea. As we go in the afternoon, we got the perfect light to take a picture but the sun and the weathers was very hot so I recommend go  at night because it open in the afternoon and until midnight. 

If you love to see the handmade goodies or clothing, this is the place for you. They also have many food but as we already ate lunch before go to the market, we didn't interested much about food. 

I'd say it's nice place to take picture but if you don't like hot weather, I'd recommend to go at night or in the evening. If you're in BKK, you can take the tube to Pechburi station or you can go by Airport Rail Link to Makkasan station (not recommend going by car because the traffic is very bad). The market will be available on 7-9 Aug 2015 and I'm not sure that they continue every week or not but you can check their instagram @artboxbangkok

Would you love to go to this market?

Back to Vintage Bangkok.

Hello friends! It's such a nice gloomy Monday. Today after submitting my last essay for summer school, I go to the old town near my Uni called Wang Burapa which was the old city centre for Bangkok in the old day. I go for brunch with my friend at the old style place called On Lok Yun. They served old-style coffee and breakfast, and it's delicious. 



Then we just walk around taking picture. We walk to a random sample near the Grand Palace and I don't know what that temple called but it's beautiful. I actually never been to this temple before even it's just 15 mins walk from my uni.


It's such a nice relaxing day for me as I just finished my summer school. The weather is not that hot that you can walk around. I love seeing parts of Bangkok that I've never been before. If you are like me being tired from studying, just walking around the place near you that you might never been before and discovered new things, and it'll make you a lot happier.

Don't forgot to try some new things.
