July 2020 Favourites

 I absolutely love doing favourites but guess I'm always late ahaha. Here are some products I really loved last month!

Rainbow Quran | I think I first saw a rainbow Quran in a Dian Pelangi post maybe 5- years ago and I've been wanting one but the vanity of it was what has stopped me all these years but when I finally saw one in the store, I decided to get it. Ofcourse, a Quran isn't supposed to be something you own because it looks pretty but I think reciting from this makes my heart extra happy and I tend to use it more, so I'm rationalizing this purchase, ahaha. 

Miniso lunch box | Ive always wanted to be one of those people who make cute bento-type lunch boxes and take it to work and I finally caved in and got one. If you're not following already, do check out Sulheejessica on tiktok, she's the inspiration behind a lot of my wanting of this. 

Miniso Cutlery Set | I only bought this for the metal chopsticks tho they are a bit short for my liking but I love this set and I carry it around in case I might need it. So far, I've mainly used it to eat dumplings at work. The spoon is wonderful for eating cake, just saying. 

Wireless Charger | I was getting a secret friend gift and saw this at Ximivogue, it was just under MVR 70 which is SO CHEAP so I bought it, thinking even if it doesn't work it's pretty cheap so whatever, and guess what? it does work!!! Even when I have a super bulky phone cover on. I really love it and tho I haven't had to use it much, it's so convenient, especially when I'm at work. 

Mini fan | It's the watching kdramas getting me to buy things like this. Honestly, this fan is so great (except I don't like that there's a light) I took it while I was on a picnic with my friend and while coming back, it was so hot on the ferry so I took it out and was fanning myself when this dude 5 rows ahead of us kept looking back at me, I got so uncomfortable, I had to turn the fan off, it was probably the light since the sound is not too loud (especially considering the sound level of the ferry). I use it after I put on setting spray, it's just so convenient. 

Green Tea Make Up Remover | I do a lot of shopping aat Ximivogue and usually their skincare is so good so I wasn't surprised to find that this gentle make up remover is so nice. It feels so smooth and minty on the skin and does the job so well. I use reusable cloth make-up wipes, the combo of which works amazingly. I've been using it for about a month and have been loving the results. 

Charming Mandarin Fragrance | I love citrusy smells and this has such a strong mandarin smell which I love so much. Again, I bought this from Ximivogue and I use it as my daily perfume (I rarely if ever splurge on expensive perfumes, I'm not too big on that)

Aloe Gel | Ive been seeing this everywhere and I finally took the pluge and bought one after seeing Rish recommend it. It's so soothing! I absolutely love it. I use it maybe 2-3 times a week. My favourite ways of using it is as a shaving gel when I'm shaving my face (which honestly was scary at first but once I did it once, it really made such a big difference!!) and as a gel to use with my face roller (which I freeze beforehand so it's really cooling on my face). If I'm out a lot on a day (which rarely happpens now due to the virus) I'll use it to cool down. I can't believe it's taken me more than 28 years of living in the middle of equator to start taking the sun seriously ahaha. 

Miniso Eyebrow/Face razor | So yeah I took the plunge and finally shaved my face (I've only done it once and haven't done it again, yet) and it was less scarier than I expected. This miniso razor is so easy and literally does not hurt one bit (I was really scared at first aahh) and it is so easy to manuever, especially with the gel on. I would not recommend shaving it dry. I've watched so many videos of tips and do's/don'ts of it to prepare for it. I would definitely do it again. 

Miniso bracelets | Yes, this is looking more like a Miniso/Ximivogue haul but yeah I did shop a lot from Miniso last two months so it shows. I really love quirky bracelets, especially ones with safety pins (I'm kind of obsessed with safey pins for a while now), so ofcourse I got this bracelet. It's more like a bangle and it goes so well with any outfit. The goldish heart bracelet I got mostly because it's like wearing your heart on your sleeve (I used to always wear a crochet heart on my sleeve on Tuesdays as a reminder of a person so I'm very fond of that phrase) and it's just so cute! Plus, I have very few non silver looking costume jewelry so I just had to. 

I've put links of the ones I could find. What have you guys been enjoying lately?
