Lose weight, get fit, inspirations

Hey Sugars!

Today's post gonna be something different.
I used to weigh 45kg in high school. Until I entered Pre-U, I gained 5kg. Then I entered University, I gained another 5kg.  So I was55kg (sobs)... up until semester 2, I have no idea how I managed to lose that 10kg and back to 45kg..YAY!! I was happy..but not for long =.='''
I gained again, so now after graduating I'm 50kg.
I never tried diet pils but I've tried ginger lotion a.k.a losyen halia. Where you rub a dub dub on the areas you want to burn fats. But it didn't work for me.
So, this is a short story on how I lose 5 kg before my graduation which was last year.
First, I took up Natural Clenx Tea by NH DETOXLIM. Clenx Tea is a high quality detox slimming tea made from 100% natural organic green tea and herbs, with no laxatives, no added sugar and no side effects. It has been approved by the Ministry of Health Malaysia and is safe for consumption (copied from the web). 
This is my third box taking Clenx Tea but I'm not consuming it daily. I've tried others in between but I always end up going back to this.When I first started taking this, the effect was OMG! my stomach was painful and I went to the toilet like 4-5 times. I almost gave up but I thought it would be a waste to not finish it. So I drank another cup the next day. Same thing happened! I couldn't stand the pain!
But I still continue the third day. Surprisingly it didn't hurt so utterly bad but I still went to the toilet like 3 times. After the third day, I've got a flat belly! Wow.. So I continue on with it but I don't consume it daily now, I only take it when I felt like I've eaten a lot for the day. The effect will normally come 10-12 hours after consuming. So, If you've plan on going somewhere, think before you drink. hehe...
The reason I'm not consuming it daily because I don't want to be too depended on this for losing weight. This is just an extra for me to clenx and detox my 'inside' body :)
Next, exercise is a must! I'll go for a jog at least 45 minutes 2-3 times per week when I have time to go out. When I don't, I'll exercise in my room, standing in front of a mirror doing stretching and dumbbells lifting (2kg each) for at least 30 minutes. 
Even when I've lost 5kg, I still see myself in the mirror kinda flabby. That is why I'm determine to get fit. Like a quote saying " Exercise to be fit, not to be skinny ".
Lastly, for me this part is extremely important which is stick up inspirational pictures and quotes. Put it somewhere that you'll see EVERYDAY. Like me, its on my laptop wallpaper... hehe..
Here are some of my inspirational pictures (from the web) :


Not only that, here are celebrities that inspires me. I know they are rich and they can afford to hire a personal trainer, but " if there's a will, there's a way " for non-celebrities like us to achieve it.
 Miley Cyrus.
 She lost weight and rockin' the new bod! She looks healthy and not anorexic :) 
SNSD ( Girls Generation)
Look at those long, lean legs. This is my wallpaper now...hehe. Love the colorful outfits too.

Not only female celebs that inspires me.
Jung Yong Hwa (CNBlue)
Before:


After:

 Daebak! 
I started watching him in We Got Married and I fell for him. He was kinda chubby back then but now he is a doing so so fine :D He is the group leader for CNBlue. I love all their songs! They are my favorite Kpop band that doesn't dance but plays instruments! While my no 1 Kpop band that dances...guess what?
BigBang of course! :D

Wow! what a long post.Will end here for today and remember to keep fit, stay healthy and be committed to achieve your dream weight. Thanks for dropping by^^

This is one of my 2013 Resolution. Whats yours? :)

Review: Maybelline BB cream

Hey Hey Heya!
Its 21.12.2012 and I'm still here updating on a new post. guess it's not end of the world eh?
So, today its gonna be a review on another drugstore products which is the Maybelline BB cream and Maybelline BB White. Lets skip to the chase!

Left: BB Cream
Right: BB White

I didn't purchase this both at the same time. I've been using the BB Cream now coming to my third tube. While the BB white was my first purchased and because it has an SPF50. Both of them that I'm using is in the shade 02-Natural but as u can see from the picture above the BB C is a bit darker than the BB W. 
The difference between these two are shown on the package
BB Cream- SPF26++, brightens, evens, smoothes, refines, clears, conceals, moisturizes, and protect skins.
BB White- SPF50++, brightens, evens, smoothes, corrects, conceals, hydrates, and 12H wear. 

For me, BB C covers all that its claimed on the package. This is kinda like my go-to bbcream. It does cover light blemishes and it really suits with my skin. On the other hand, BB W is more to the moisturizer side that a foundation. Even thou I took the shade 02-Natural it is just too light for me. It also makes my face oily within just seconds :(  *I have oily skin type..It doesn't really covers the blemishes like the BB C :( But I think this would be great for someone fair with dry skin.. are you one of them? ^^

Will I repurchase this? Will definitely continue to purchase the Maybelline BB C but not for the BB W. I don't really need a high spf bb coz I applied my Hada Labo uv milk or the Biore uv Aqua Rich which I have made a review on. You can click HERE if you haven't read it :) But for someone who doesn't have high spf in the moisturizer can definitely check out BB W ( if you don't have oily skin).

If you have anything to ask or products that you want to try but unsure of it, just send me an email at sugarcoatmymascara@gmail.com or you can comment below :) Make sure to be a follower if you support beauty and cool stuff^^

Thanks for your time Sugars!

Ps: Sorry If the words are a bit up n down.. its midnight and i'm sleepy..
Pps: I am not paid to review this. This is my honest review based on my experience.

Review: Silkygirl Lipstick

Hey hey heya Sugars!

Another review for today.
Note that most stuff that I'm reviewing are mostly drugstore a.k.a cheap. Not the high-end branded stuff okayy :) Its not that I don't like high-end but I love collecting makeups, so most of them will never be used until the end..what a waste right? Unless those stuff are my holy-grail that I can't live without... hehe
I will be reviewing two lipstick from the Silkygirl range which are Vamp and Hot. If you don't know this brand you can click HERE.
So lets begin!
Currently I am into those dark type of lipstick..but actually I'm not that bold person to wear this out.. hehe..unless its a special occasion :) So I bought this at Signature, Karamunsing with a great deal! Normal price is RM17.90 (EM) , but I think due to the month of holiday and shopping, there was a sale on these babies. Bought each for RM8.95. yay!

 Left: Vamp
Right: Hot
 Sorry bcoz its a bit blurr..*saving up money to buy a good camera*


I love this brand because it is affordable and their products are quite good. Also, I have sensitive lips and this doesn't make my lips chapped. Why I say sensetive because I've used an IN2IT lipbalm before and it burned my lips so bad!! Even with one application it hurts my lips..thought of doing a review but I threw it out already since I can't use it anymore :(
So, back to Silkygirl.. I've also been using other products from them such as mascara, BB cream and powder..but there are also downfall on their foundation:(... oh wow! maybe I should do a Silkygirl brand entry.. *tingting*<---bell sound


Packaging: Nice simple silver tube
Lasting power: 4/5 
Moisture: 4/5 (doesn't dry out my lips)

Would I repurchase this:  Definitely!

Til we meet again in the next post..

Current Favorite Youtubers

Hey Hey Heya!
It's 10 more days till Christmas.. yay! 
So as I mentioned in my previous post, I'll blog about my favorite YTbers. I started getting addicted watching YT since last year..*yeah, I know... I'm lame* I was so busy with studies I don't even have time to do other stuff except studying. The first two years of my university life I was a simple girl who doesn't really care about appearances or dress up to go to class ( i'm not that typical girlish girl..i'm kinda rocka chic..haha). So, ever since I discovered YT.. my life change..literally..haha..I know how to do my own makeup from day time to night makeup, what type of skincare that suits my skin type, what types of outfit that best fit my figure..and all of this knowledge I gained for FREE!! awesome much??..except for the internet bills of course...hehe
So lets begin! ( in no particular order)

Makeup/ Skincare/ Fashion/ Hair
  • Dope2111/ Promise Phan
  • Bubzbeauty
  • Michelle Phan
  • Sasakiasahi
  • Xclosetoreal
  • Xteener
  • Fromheadtotoe
  • Aprilathena7
  • Itsjudystime
  • Bebexo 
  • Lilith moon (mostly hair tutorials)
  • Anneroshine
  • Chriselle Lim
I wish I can describe each and every guru's but I just suck at writing..don't get me wrong, I love blogging and sharing my thoughts but I'm just not a good writer I guess :/ that is why I keep all my post short, simple and straight to the main point. :)
Listed above are my current favorite guru's that I frequently visit their channel..If you notice, most of them are asians (all except Lilith moon and Xclosetoreal). I'm not saying US guru's aren't great but as an asian, their makeup techniques are more suitable in terms of skin color and eye shapes and so. I do watch others such as Pixiwoo, Pixiwoo2, Andreaschoic, Rachhloves and so on..there are a lot more beauty guru's that I adore but when I'm thinking of a tutorial or advice, these are the people that pop up in my mind. 
So go and check them out! :D

Extra information that I would add on is a non-beauty related YTbers that can make me LMAO. They just fill my days with laughter. I don't know what categories they are in but they kinda like comedic variety YTbers.
*drumrolls......

  • Nigahiga
  • Dailygrace
  • JimChapman
  • JennaMarbles
  • theDominicshow
  • DavidParody
Go check them out if you wanna know what I mean. :D If you have other recommendation. just comment below..

So this is the end of my post..It's midnight here so goodnight sugars, thanks for dropping by ^^

Current Favorites

Hey Hey Heya!
Today I just feel like blogging...
I've been obsessed with some fashion and makeup styles. It may not be up to date, but IDK..
I just love these.
So lets begin!
Smokey Eyes and Dark Wine Lipstick
I'm sure you've seen Skyfall right? Well, I haven't..sad but true :/
I've seen some youtube guru's done a makeup tutorial of the Bond Girl and it just caught my attention.
( You can checkout Michelle Phan and Xclosetoreal tutorial on this. They are my fav!)
I freakin love this look...but the problem is..can I pull this bold look off? Well, here in my country you don't see this kind of makeup unless it is for certain occasion. Plus, not everyone looks superb in this look but Bond girl Sévérine (Bérénice Marlohe) definately rock this look! Agree?



Here are some celebrities inspired looks.

Peplum Outfits
 Celebrities with peplum outfits
Peplum is the fashion now! Everyone is crazy about this. What I love about this style is it gives a slimmer waist look and all body shapes can rock this outfit. 

Knitted Sweater Top
I must say..this is A MUST HAVE item in every girls wardrobe. It is super comfy and flowy style. Who doesn't love this? I know..I know..the weather here in Malaysia is hot, but shopping malls have air conditioner right? hehe...
( Check out Bebexo's youtube channel on how she styles them. Super cute!)


Kate Middleton Wedges Inspired
I am so in love with wedges now. I used to love wearing heels but after awhile I get tired of it, then I go for flats. Yeah..of course it was wayyyy comfortable but I'm kinda petite (5'2) so wedges is the best solution :D
Closed toe wedges have existed long ago... I know.. but seeing Kate Middleton in wedges made me want it too.. especially her blue suede wedges. gahh... love it! Did you heard the news that she's pregnant now? :D
Yay! So happy for the couple :D



So, this is the end of my post for today. 
My next post will be on favorite youtubers.

Till then..C!ao

P/s : I do not own any of the images.

Review: FANNY SERRANO Light Tulip Liquid Lipstick



Heya ! So today i'm gonna review something that I won through a giveaway. Firstly, this Fanny Serrano is not available here in my country..I think..coz I've never seen this before. So I was quite surprised when I opened this lipstick. It has light in it :O... wow! I think that is superrr awesome..
Then, there's a small mirror at the side.. which is also a cool thing.
It may look like a lipgloss tube but its not.The texture of this lipstick is thick and I like that it does not have any fruit scent , just a normal lipstick scent. Because of the thick texture, its a bit difficult to apply with the applicator. So, what I normally do is dab a bit on my middle lower lips and spread it out using my pinky finger. Add more if you like so but a thin layer of it is enough for me because it lasted very long and it doesn't make my lips dry. 
Oh! Sorry I didn't take any pic of me wearing.. but I can assure you that the color is kinda like mauve pink.
I wish this is available here :( bcoz I have sensitive lips. Not every lip product suits me.

P/s : Excuse me if my english is incorrect. I write review based on my experience and none of them are sponsored.

Review: Ginvera Green Tea Nude Cover BB Cream



Heya ! 
So today's review is about Ginvera Nude Cover BB Cream with spf30. The main ingredient is Green Tea extract. Why green tea? The Green Tea Extract has 20 times more anti-oxidant power as compared to Vitamin C, providing superior protection against harmful UV rays. 
okay..okay.. I don't usually explain what the product is because it can be read anywhere on the web. Cut to the chase, here's my review:

Pros: ~ Easy to apply, glides smoothly on skin.
          ~ Even's out skintone. 
          ~ Gives a natural finish look.
          ~ Long lasting.
          ~ Medium coverage.
       
Cons:~ a bit dewy for me since I have oily T-zone, but after applying press powder it looks much better :)

Will I repurchase this? YES

p/s: If you are looking for a full coverage, this might not suits you. But overall, this is a good product.

Short and simple review.Thanks for reading :)

What to review next?
