p/s: so sorry i haven't been updating my blog, i havnet been feeling well...

on makeup artist...

salam everyone,

I know i haven't been the best at updating my blog,  alhamdulillah i just recovered from the worst food poisoning  I have ever gotten....tersuk sgt, sampai i had fever....

anyway also it donesn't help that my laptop still rosak, heish i haven't had the time to reformat my PC...

ok todays topic is on makeup artist...( sadly i have not receive any official pictures, so all pictures will only be uploaded once i dah dapat the gambar, i will update this post)

during our functions, we manage to work with 4 makeup artist, which is Sue cantik, Lova, Ayang kamel and A...ok...

now lets start with the good news,

MY untimate favourite makeup is def by faarrrr by LOVA...mmg me and my sis paling suka makeup by lova...she has this natural way of doing our face, just as how i want my makeup to be....so natural yet beautiful..lova's foundation is golden, so my skin macam had a glow, the whole day tak crack and the best part, it tak nampak putih on digital camera..i love it sooooo much, very simple but beautiful mashaAllah....so yes if anybody asks which makeup i love most, it has to be LOVA...i quote what habib said " from now on only Lova can makeup your face, no one else"..

sue cantik, was very nice, but my biggest issue is because sue is a man, and the foundation is tebal sikit, so my foundation cracked during the function, my face looked dry..tapi in the picture and video, mmg tak nampak...so i still love the makeup....

ok as for ayang and kak A....

ayang, mashaAllah is the nicest makeup artist among all...so lembut, while we were getting ready(imagine there was 4 orang kot tgh makeup sekali) ayang was very sweet to  let us pinjam his eyeliner....ohh he is so baik....tapi is not that I didn't like ayangs makeup,  i just feel that, it didn't suit our kind of face itu je...but i have to say, ayang is very very baik...

lastly ..kak A( i cannot name her sbb this is a bad review) was friendly, we were talking quite byk masa she buat makeup...so i explained to kak A, i only like 1 type of makeup...heavy eyes but nude lipstick and blusher...but sadly, she didn't give me that type of makeup..when i saw myself at the miror, my lipstick sgt merah, and blusher sgt merah..and when i said, terang sgt, she was a bit upset, and cakap, "tak dik nanti kat camera nampak natural"...you see itu yang buat a marah, sebab sue cantik and lova, did a very natural nude look, and takde pun nampak pudar on camera

sampai I open my pictures, to show how sue and lova mekup my face...stress sgt masa ni..lepas tu, i cakap nak light lagi colour dia....she pun sampai 3 kali tukar colour and sindir me and said, kalau colour macam ni, macam tak pakai lipstick and warna lagi pudar dari my own lips...but for me, that is what I want...

But masa i saw gmabr from the pictures he took,  daniel zain tunjuk sikit, the makeup ok masa malam tu, tapi gambar siang semua mmg nampak my blusher and lipstick terang....and my foundation colour macam grey sikit(takda glow). I'm also upset because i bayar RM 750 (lagi mahal dari lova and ayang kamel), and i saw some product makeup yang murah.....i feel cheated esp on the foundation that is why my foundation looks grey...i'm very particular about cheap makeup, sebab i have sensitive skin...cheap makeup product uses cheap chemicals...but the best part is after everything she sms me to minta maaf and said hoped i liked the makeup...walaupun ada problem sikit, all in all it was ok....it was my mistake jugak, I pun nak tukar her trademark style, of course she pun tak happy...

for lova and sue cantik, mmg i have seen bride lain and i suka the style...tapi the other 2 makeup artist tu, mmg i tak minat sgt, esp the colour of the foundation..I am very particular with the colour of the foundation....i paling tak suka when the foundation turns grey or white...tak nampak seri....
.
My advice to everyone, find a makeup artist yang u suka, from what you  see at other brides...


p/s: what is cantik and beautiful for me, might be too simple or tak cantik for others...please take note that this is a personal review of my personal taste...

B.E.A.U.T.Y

its 2.45am now..i'm up ..yes because of nothing else but hubby wants to watch world cup...hehehe...

today i want to share on share on hair....i've gotten a few questions on where i cut my hair and stuff, and thought why not i upload an entry on it...

ok for  my hair, right now I only trust very specific places and people..hehhe...

I'm one who is very very particular with my hair..since a very young age, i always take care of my hair..because good beautiful hair can make one look really good...

disclaimer: this entry is only dedicatedf for women who wants to look beautiful for their husband and family(mahrams only)

For hair salon, my favorite right now is yes, Organic Hair Professional...in One utama, 1st floor, new wing...

why i go here??...well the biggest plus point its because all the products are organic, meaning they have less harmfull materials...since the last 10 years, my family has been practicing a healthier lifestyle, and one of the things we changed is our cosmetic/beauty product...

while i was doing my degree, i learn so many things on chemicals, and i can tell you all right now girls, there are too many unhealthy chemicals in our daily beauty products...

of course, organic product does not mean its 100% safe..but at least, they cut down the use of the main dangerous chemicals...and the shampoo smells great...so fruity...i love it...

a lot of people make fun of our lifestyle, but i truly believe in what we do...and since I've been using the proper hair care,mashaAllah, my hair & esp my scalp is feels soo much healthier..alhamdulillah...

the 2nd reason why i love going here is because, they have a private room..so yes, girls out there yang pakai tudung, they have a room here, yang they wont allow any men to enter, unless you allow them too..and mashaAllah i can say, they really respect our muslim believe...yes, of course ada extra charges, they charge extra 10%..so kalau haircut is RM 60 +10% total you have to pay is RM 66....

my fav hairstylist here is jesse...honestly i went first in early 2009..and i really wasn't that happy with jesse's cut...tapi a few months back, when i cut my hair, mashaAllah she has improved so much...now i looove it..hehehe....jesse is the only female hairstylist there...

for Man, i strongly suggest jimmy...but i have to say i'm biased, because hubby only goes to jimmy..so i havent really gotten to know any other male stylist..but jimmy has amazing memory, everytime we come , he remembers us...even though there was this one time, we din't go there for more than 6 months...and he still ingat...

on hair perming....

I would of course say organics is a better salon to go, but the price for organic perm is very mahal..but one of my friend did it..and my goodness its the most natural perm i've seen..and absolutely no chemical smell...imagine, the perming chemical smells fruity...and her hair didn't become dry at all..but the price..rougly around RM 400...but if you have the budget, please go here..its just so cantik...

for myself, clearly, RM 400 is too much...so i opted for a different perm..while many likes normail perm, i find that the curls are so unnatural looking, everyone will know, its a perm..esp those yg buat half the kepala only...

i suggest, go to thomas & guys and do the SPA PERM.....i'm not so sure the difference between spa perm and digital perm...but according to a hairstylist, the difference is on the  heating method...i have no idea actually..so i shall not elaborate...

i went to thomas and guys in shah alam Sacc mall..they are having a promotion spa perm for RM 198nett(all hair length)...the best hairstylist for perming is christine (sarawakian). She did the perm with full passion, and was so very friendly during the whole time....

this is a sample of how the spa perm curls is...spa perm is very loose, so it mainly big curls....which i love most...

and the best part about Thomas and Guys in Sacc mall..they too have a private VIP room...the cost is slightly more though sebab the VIP room here is very big comparing to hair organics is One utama......


its 3.20 am now..hmm really sleepy...

Makeup Pengapit

Makeup For my pengapits i used the service of this makeup artist. She was one of my pengapit punya friend. And mashaAllah the makeup was so cantik looks so natural + beautiful, and they lasted the whole day sampai petang....fully recommended. Not just because she is talented, because the Quality of makeup yg she guna is very good mashaAllah..

. Do visit her website at

http://bridalmakeup-eija.blogspot.com

at her website ada pictures of both my pengapit. hehee..for wedding in July,of course we are taking her again. We have booked her for 2 days..hehhe... .

Makeup during nikah

5 years ago, when my sis got married, she took sue for her makeup artist, and my sister looked the most beautiful i have seen her ever..mashaAllah....

so 5 years ago, i knew i wanted to take sue for my makeup as well...so kiranya i planned this even before i met habib himself...its one of those things that has been at the back of my head..after i booked my hall, the first person i called was sue, to book (that time 20th Feb 2010 was suppose to be my reception at the hall..not nikah..I planned 19th Feb to nikah at the Dewan of the Masjid opposite the hall, but as always we can only plan, in the end Allah SWT determines what actually happens)


Many has asked which is better, lova or sue??..well to be honest i can't really compare yet, sbb hari tu lova makeup very simple, for dinner je..nanti by my reception in July inshaAllah i will do a full review on the makeovers...

but the only problem is because sue cantik is indeed a "HE", so i had to cover up during the makeup session, hence it was a bit uncomfortable...so for both my functions in July, i'm taking female makeup artist..hehe..then no need to cover up during makeup..more comfy for me i guess...

wassalam,
sabby

Upacara batalkan wudu'

Shasha asked an interesting question, about wudu' during nikah...

This is my opinioin from the survey that i have done...Wudu' is not part of the rukun nikah...so with wudu' or without your nikah will be sah inshaAllah...so don't worry so much....I think the issue nak pakai gloves should be more because male & female (non mahram) touching and issue aurat...and we all know the hukum for that..kan kan???

but no worries, there are male makeup artist yg understand, so all application they use brush x fingers and i have seen ayang kamell (not so sure) makeup with gloves...


While talking about this topic i wanted to talk about upacara membatalkan wudu'

husband and wife touch wudu' batal ke???

most Malaysians will say that touching woman/man breaks wudu’ even if one does not have desire or lust...i grew up thinking the same thing..but why???

Because our prophet Rasulullah SAW, never said that unless kalau the touch has effect on the nafsu then yes batal..but if its just terkena or terpijak or setakat a normal kiss that does not lead to any nafsu... no problem..infact ada hadith yg back up to show that he did touch his wife in wudu'

Narrated Abu Salama: 'Aisha the wife of the Prophet said, "I used to sleep in front of Allah's Apostle and my legs were opposite his Qibla and in prostration(sujud) he pushed my legs and I withdrew then and when he stood, I stretched them.' 'Aisha added, "In those days the houses were without lights." (hadith Bukhari Book #8, Hadith #379)

Another hadith narrated by `A’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) as recorded in the Musnad of Imam Ahmad states that the Prophet (SAW) used to kiss `A’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) and then go to pray at the masjid without renewing his ablution(wudu').

It is clear from this evidence that touching those women/men whom Allah SWT allows us to have contact with does not break our wudu’.

If touching one’s wife breaks wudu’ the Prophet SAW would have told the people about it, and it would have been famous among the Companions of the Prophet SAW. NO Companion of the Prophet SAW has been reported to have renewed his wudu’ upon touching his wife or another woman, and there is no single hadith from the Prophet Muhammad SAW to support that.

p/s:but if any reader,that has found a stronger hadith that says otherwise, please kindly e-mail me...

Wedding budget...

Salam...

I'm going to change the topic sikit for a while..hehehe....I was discussing with my friend who just got married recently about her wedding and the topic makeup came about...Naddynad, Aim yg buat...and It was very nice and natural...hehehe..i really liked it...boleh nego price as well..btw about my makeup update..hari tu I asked Liza availability in Feb....dia dah penuh...so Takde rezeki to take her...nasib baik got back up plan....alhamdulillah....

Ok now back to the topic, Yesterday for the first time I sat down listed everything we needed and everything that we have spent on for the wedding ( listed in excel, siap bercolour2 lagi..hehehe)....and guess what...my budget dah terlebih!!!! all this while i kira2 here and there...and I was so bangga to my siblings coz i told them "see u can plan a beautiful cheap wedding"...looks like I was WRONG....now i kena go through everything again, and cut down everything...its so sad... I have to admit from a simple wedding that i wanted, lagi research I did lagi i wanted more and more..Totally my fault...Alhamdulillah mama pun decided to sponsor a few things here and there..but she warned "it does not mean u can go crazy and spend"...yes, mum....

tmrw me and habib heading to jakel nak beli kain for family...inilah salah satu benda I didn't know it HAD TO COME OUT FROM MY WEDDING BUDGET... but its all good...because the best people to receive sedeqah is Family of course...and kitorg dah survey byk tempat and memang jakel is paling reasonable...also we are getting 1 set kain for 1 of our reception..inshaAllah...last week dah book dah, but since i'm cutting down my budget kena tukar kain...and this is something i discovered at our 1st trip to jakel....beaded chiffon can be more expensive then lace..heish..ada a few yg tersangat cantik...sampai RM 7k per meter...but of course yg kitorg book was much cheaper...they also have this amazing wedding package RM 680 sahaja for beaded chiffon 4m+ lining silk satin + baju melayu 5m..yes all in...

oh no she didn't....

In Feb 2009 Alhamdulillah we manage to book Dewan Cattleya Shah Alam official wedding hall for 11Th July 2009....We booked Kak Sai as the makeup artist, though Kak Sai did warn us that she is bonded with Brunei's royalty wife so should the Royalty call she has to cancel on us, but she will send a replacement...

On 10th July she called and said she won't be able to make it due to her bond, so she sent her assistant Liza as a replacement...which MashaAllah turned out really well coz she did an amazing job..

A few days ago i was surfing the net, and reached Zery Zamry's blog.....and I found an entry on Elyana's engagement.....

I read through the whole article and found out that Kak Sai did her makeup...hmmm...and i checked the time (please view her invitation) it started the same time as my brothers wedding which is 11th July 2009 at 2.30pm....

now we have booked her since as off March 2009....and elyanas engagement date was set during her merisik which is 11th April 2009....It was us that locked the date first correct?....so did Kak Sai bailed on us because of her Brunei royalty as she had earlier mention or Elyana's egagement?? could it be that she sent a representative so she can work on a more famous person?
I think we all know the answer to that...hmm...is this what we call professionalism?? good work ethics? U all be the judge..I'm just here to share...

Perhaps she has a better explanation and i shouldn't assume the worst...i truly hope that's the case...Because i have always admired her work...
