The 2-Step Mask!

I did a little browsing on Hansaegee's website recently. And I found out that they have a new addition in their masks range! They have the 2-Step Ampoule Masks now! So I did a little comparison between all the masks that they have there, and I give the AC Dressing Laser Mask a try!

It's a 2-step mask! It's the first time I try a sheet mask that have a two-step way of using it!

The mask has a special serum that makes the skin look moist and relax. It's great for irritated skin like mine! I read that by using it often, it can help reduce the scar on your skin as it contains an ingredient called azulene, a-bisabolol and arnica extracts which is great for brightening the skin and lighting the scar marks.

So there are 2 steps for wearing this mask. First step is to take the ampoule and tear off at the top-left corner of the packet 

Take the ampoule out and spread it all over your face.. The ampoule in this little packet is a lot! Spread it evenly on your face and maybe on your neck too, if you have the balance.. The texture is like gel-ish. Very light weight and has a sweet scent

Then take out the sheet mask..

As usual, their masks are awesomely wet with ampoule!

And apply it on your face, on top of the ampoule that you just applied..

I fell in love with the mask when I put it on my face cuz it feels just like a second skin! - It's so thin and fit my face shape perfectly.. The silky surface of the mask is so cooling too, and it does not slip off easily. Like I said, it adheres to my skin like a second skin that I didn't really feel uncomfortable like I did with other sheet masks I used before! ;)

After 30 minutes of wearing this mask, I have a clean, fresh face! It instantly brightens up my face..not whiten okay. It's BRIGHTEN. hehe. Like.....the face look fresh or something.. Dunno how to explain. hehe.

I'm so gonna use masks every week now, until my wedding day... I hope by then my scar has reduced a little and my face will glow like the spotlights! hahaha ;p

Have a great day peeps!



XOXO,
Shazzy.

The Engagement

So last two months, I was engaged to the man who I loved so dearly. It was one of the best moments in my life, syukur alhamdulillah! It felt so different, I couldn't explain. I mean I know this is just an engagement, but.. I can't help not to compare the feelings I feel now and then. heh. Anyhow...I am really happy now, I feel so blessed, mashaallah. Thank you God, for everything... (I can't imagine the feelings I'd feel to be married to him! *wipe tears*) 

So anyway, I know I have promised to my followers to write about it after Raya. So now that Raya has ended, here it is, my engagement ceremony entry! The one that I've been asked to blog about for so many times! huhu. Let me warn you though, that this entry contains a lot of pictures! So do expect your computer to lag a little, maybe? hehe

Sorry for keeping you guys waiting. It took some time for me to actually write this post. I mean, I'm not quite sure as to how I want to write it since there's a lot of things to be shared here! I don't know which one to start first! - The preparations, the process and the stress, the bridezilla moments, the story of how we met and fell in love, the engagement ceremony itself and yadda yadda yadda!

At first, I was contemplated whether or not to blog about the engagement and all the process, or just wait until about a month before the big day comes or not blog at all. But for the purpose of recording the journey to my wedding and whatever it is that I have done to make my wedding day such a memorable and happy day in my journey of this life, I decided to publish it today! - So I could have more time to blog about the wedding preparations in here later on! I mean, we're only have about less than 100 days until our big day, inshaallah! Gosh...time flies so fast, a lot of things to be done still! O___o - Which also means, I'd ONLY have a couple of months to write ALL the process and the wedding preparations in this journal! Tak tahu lah sempat ke tak. haha - So do expect more wedding related kind of post after this yeah. Just don't get bored, okayy? ;p

(FYI, I decided to write the engagement ceremony first, and then I will go backwards as to the engagement preparations, the vendors I chose/used, etc...and how I met him and all those stuff, alright? I get a lot of questions regarding those things, so..stay tune, and I will share one by one with my loyal readers, and especially to the bride-to-be out there! ^__^ 

For those who are not interested with my wedding series, just click the X button and you will be more happy, trust me. No need to swear and leave ugly words on my page if we're not really on the same boat, ok? Thank you! ^__^ )

So here goes!

The ceremony was supposed to be in June, but since there are no available date for the venue that's left for that month, we decided to make it in July which was just right before Ramadhan. Thank God somebody cancelled their event that week, so we could book ours! ^___^ (Searching for a venue in KL could be such a pain! People get married every day! Pffft)

I think I'm not gonna babble much on each and every details of the event.. Will do that in the next post, perhaps? So I'm just gonna post pictures and less words..ok?

Getting ready

Sue Cantik is one of the best professional make-up artist in Malaysia, I gotta say! I love her work..and I especially love their sense of humor! - I was fidgeting all the way since I arrived the venue that day. Not because I was nervous to be engaged or anything..but because a lot of things didn't go as to how I planned it was! But the awesome duo managed to calm me down with their jokes while I was being pampered with the stroke of the brushes and mascara! It's nice to have someone who would make you laugh on a stressful event like this! hehe

By the way, my sister Hanis, belanja-ed me the make-up that day! So thank you sister!

^___^

I love this pic! So mysterious. LOL 

Wearing my sister's Tom Ford shocking pink lipstick! Love it.

My designers came to help me get ready that day!

Ready....to be engaged! hehe

Jennifer helped arranged the door gift.. Thank you babe!

Everyone got different designs. Cute, no?

My niece looking for more cookies..

I love my cape!

My darling Hannah and Esther!

These two looked so sweet in Baju Kurung!

These are the Dulang Girls. 

Well, his Dulang Girls actually... I don't have any, since my family is the host for the event, so we already displayed our Hantaran for pihak lelaki in the ballroom. It was quite confusing actually. People thought they were my Dulang Girls cuz they were in the same holding room with me! haha. 

Actually, half of these girls are his best friends' girlfriends (which is also my friends). The reason why they were put up in the holding room is because my Hantaran decorator said it'll be such a hassle if they were to come up from the elevator along with the rombongan pihak lelaki.. The Hantaran deco might ruin on their way to KL Tower that day. Plus, the tray is VERY heavy! So he said, it's best for his Dulang Girls to stay in the same holding room with me, and I can also pinjam them to be my Dayang-dayang/Bridesmaids! hehe (we did the Hantaran from the same decorator, by the way)

Rombongan pihak lelaki telah tiba!

.....and so are the Dulang Girls!

Majlis bermula..

There's pantun too!

I love the Baju Kurung these girls were wearing. The beading work is nice! The color is also nice!

Glad he let me chose his Dulang Girls' dresses! hehe (Another plus point for the groom who doesn't really care much about colors, dresses or whatever it is that he labeled as "not important stuff" as he said! - Cuz he let me pick WHAT I LIKE! Heeee)

^__^

I made their headpieces too by the way! Comel tak? hehe

The bride-to-be making an entrance..

The groom-to-be

The bride-to-be

He's my beautiful rainbow after the storm. The one who constantly make me laugh and happy each day! 

I got really tired wearing my 7 inch Loubie shoes, so I went kaki-ayam later that day..haha

We were supposed to do this shot on the Open Deck area around sunset.. But too bad that day the weather was not that good, so we had to do the photo shooting earlier before the sunset...and before the rain comes!

Suparman ready nak terbang. haha

"Oh, please don't step on my cape!"

"The event has ended..."

"...now let's go home!"

THE END

Alhamdullilah glad everything went well. I feel so blessed, mashaallah! Thank you God, for everything... And thank you so much to my parents too, who have helped me a lot for the event. I can never thank you guys enough. You guys are the best parents ever. I am one lucky daughter, alhamdullilah. Thank you for providing me the best of everything, from I was a small girl until my very last day before I am being handed off to my husband to take care of me later. Thank you abah, thank you mama for letting me have my happy engagement ceremony and soon...The Wedding! Oh I can't wait! hehe. And thank you to all my family and friends who came and who have helped a lot during the event too! Thank you, thank you, thank youuuuu! *hugs*
