Perhaps, it's a new beginning?

Apparently it's been a month (or more) since the last time I wrote something here. I've been meaning to write since forever. Nevertheless, I've been busy with lab reports and quizzes (the standard excuses), I haven't got the chance to write. I'm going to take back my statement which involves me writing once every week at least. From now on I'm going to write whenever I want to, no dead line.

I want to take this blog into a new direction. I've been writing here since I was in grade 8, and mostly it's me babbling. However, from now on I want to make posts that are worthy to be read. I'm not doing this for anyone because I'm not even sure if there's another human being other than me reading this blog, I'm doing this for the sake of my personal development. I'll be posting better stories, better pictures, better reviews, and most importantly I'll be writing something that matters to me.

Since this is a start, I'm going to tell you a bit of information regarding myself.

My name is Alliyya but you can call me Al - my initials. Born and raised in Jakarta, Indonesia in 1996. The youngest of four. A biology student and currently in my third year. What inspired me to be a biologist is my fascination of the deep sea. A passionate writer and bathroom singer. My writings consist of my life story, poems or song writings, and fictional stories.

I lied about me being a bathroom singer. As a shy person I could never sing in front of my family, I'd rather sing in front of a thousand strangers. I do love to sing (when none of my family members are around) and have sung in public. Taught myself to play the piano. My techniques may be of poor quality, but hey I can play a song or two. Enjoy listening to any kind of music I find soothing. Some people may find me quiet, others find me entertaining. I'm a bilingual, interested to learn Spanish. Enjoy being both alone and surrounded by friends.

I hope with my writings in the future you can know me better and I can inspire or entertain you in some ways.

Love,

Alliyya

The Balm Meet Matt(e) Hughes FAKE vs REAL

I recently fell in love with The Balm's products especially their liquid lipstick, Meet Matte Hughes. Quick review, it's one of the best liquid lipsticks out there. I love liquid lipsticks that have mousse-y texture and doesn't suck the moisture out of my lips. Although it doesn't last as long as some liquid lipsticks I own, it's very comfortable on the lips. The only problem I have is that a lot of online shops sell fake products and claim it as original products. Me being reckless, I fell in the trap and got myself a fake lipstick. This writing is meant to show the difference between the fake and the real Meet Matte Hughes, and to share some tips based on personal experience on how to avoid getting fake products. During the holiday I purchased The Balm Committed in an online shop on Instagram (IG: cathydolla now seoulshopping - this online shop changed their name 3 times since I purchased the fake lipstick ). I've been eyeing on Committed and Adoring and dec...

Wangsa Jelita Green Tea Lotion, Rose Body Butter and Sandalwood Beauty Oil Review

First post in 2016! Yay! Before I start with the review I'm gonna do a background story, so here goes. There was this night where I randomly scrolled through my blog post and found a comment from an actual person. I was surprised because I really thought no one reads my blog except me. I was so happy to know that there's actually someone who enjoyed my writing (at least that's what I thought). It turned out that the co-founder of a local brand called Wangsa Jelita wanted to chat with me. I looked at the date and bam! it was 4 months ago. I emailed her anyway to say thank you and from there I got offered to try Wangsa Jelita's products. Of course I said yes. I've heard of the brand for quite some time now. Unfortunately, I never got the chance to try because most of my body care products (body butter, lotion, etc) are purchased by my mum. Yes, the products I'm about to review are sent to me. Meaning, I didn't pay a dime for these products. Howe...

Evete Products Review

I actually finished writing months ago. I don't know why but I kept on procrastinating. Note: photos are taken by my phone and hence the quality of the photos aren't that good. But eh, the reviews are all that matters. I’ve gotten myself quite a lot of Evete’s products recently. Evete is an Indonesian brand specialised in natural handmade skincare products. I have made a review comparing their lip balm with another brand somewhere in this blog. And since I’ve tried all their products – body butter, body lotion, body scrub, lip balm and face scrub– why not review them all. Lip Balms I’m a fan of their lip balms. I have finished three tubes, and going to finish another one soon. The lip balm feels heavy and thick. It will also give you that shine on your lips. It is very moisturising. If you have chapped lips or want extra moisture at night, this would be the perfect product. Evete has 6 different smells for their lip balms and since I purchased their Valen...
