Based on a survey conducted by Taiwan Tourism in 2012, the top attractions for inbound tourists are sights and sceneries, food and shopping. As such, the Taiwan Travel Fair will also highlight three major experiences under the theme of “Time to Enjoy Life”:


Time to Eat



When it comes to food, Taiwan has it all. Dine like royalty without paying a king’s ransom for it. From juicy seasonal fruits, sumptuous traditional Chinese dishes, healthy vegetarian dishes, icy desserts to creative tea drinks, Taiwanese cuisine makes full use of local ingredients and age-old techniques to surprise and satisfy your palate. Don’t forget the world-famous night markets, filled with the enticing aromas of delicious street food and snacks!



Time to Shop



Taiwan is a shopaholic’s dream come true, with many large shopping centres and chain department stores in all four corners of the island. Shop for anything you want, from high-quality made-in-Taiwan 3C products, to famous highland tea and handmade weavings. For the fashion lover, all kinds of affordable clothing, leather goods and branded products are at your fingertips. In Taiwan, you are sure to find just about everything you want.




Time to go on Two Wheels



These days, the LOHAS (Lifestyles of Health and Sustainability) trend is gaining popularity as people begin to be more health and eco-conscious. Taiwan is well-known for its LOHAS practices, and there is no better way to experience it than to travel along the breath-taking coastal highways by bicycle! Immerse yourself in the beauty of nature and appreciate the simple yet wonderful things in life with your loved ones.

Review || Super Wow Stick - Maria from I Heart Makeup Makeup Revolution

Assalamualaikum


Hello there!




I should had mention that I am a lippy girl. I have a lot of lipsticks and there are some lipsticks that have the same colour but gives a different finishes. I love lipsticks sooo much and I really love bold colour lips. Recently, I purchased a lipstick called Super Wow Stick from I Heart Makeup which is a sister company of Makeup Revolution. I am interested in the shade Maria while I am watching a swatch video on YT.


Pardon me with the pixelated images. I do not wish to reveal the colour on my lips just yet. 



This is what the box looks like.




The packaging is very slim for a lipstick. The size is slimmer than the normal lip jumbo / lip crayon sold in the market.





The size is just perfect for the lips. Since it is a dark colour, I can easily line the lips and fill it in using the same product. I don't need and lip liner to get the job done.





The colour swatch smooth on the hand but it is a bit drying on the lips. I suggest applying lip balm / olive oil before applying this lipstick. It have a matte finishes and the colour does not transfer. I personally like this colour but I am not brave enough to wear it on its own. I think this could help in making an ombre lips. It could be blend with either red,plum or even pink. I end this post with lip swatch of this colour for better view. 


Thanks for reading! 


Good luck

Review || I Heart Chocolate Eyeshadow Palette by I Heart Makeup

Assalamualaikum


Hello there!




I guess many of you knew about Too Faced Chocolate Bar eyeshadow palette. And if you guess I bought one, you're wrong. I bought the dupe of the palette! I watch sooooo many YT videos on this palette and they all says that I Heart Chocolate by I Heart Makeup is the dupe for Too Faced Chocolate Bar. You can watch it here or you can even read it here. Okay, enough with the dupe, lets jump into the review.



This is how it came when I purchased it.





I do not fancy the packaging. It is okay but the chocolate bar took a lot of space. But, it does suits the chocolate theme.




The moment I open this palette, I smells chocolate! Who doesn't like chocolate anyway? Anyway, you get 16 eyeshadows in this palette and 2 of them are bigger than the other. I guess it is the base or highlight colour. It also came with a full sized mirror! I love it sooo much. It really help me in applying my makeup and it is easier for me to travel with the palette without worrying about mirror. 




It came with a clear plastic film with the name of each eyeshadow printed on it. I like it when the eyeshadow have their own names. 





These are the colours you get. Most of them are neutral colours. There are combination of matte, shimmer and glitter in one palette. There are 6 matte eyeshadows, 2 glitter eyeshadows, and 8 shimmer eyeshadows. 






These are the swatches of the eyeshadows:


Top row


L - R

You Need Love - Matte
Piece Me Together - Glitter
One More Piece - Matte
Love Torn - Glitter
Stolen Chocolate - Matte




Middle row


L - R

Thank Friday- Matte
More ! - Shimmer
Pleasure Girl - Matte
Meet Chocolate - Matte
Unforgivable - Shimmer
Love Divine - Shimmer




Bottom row


L - R

Smooth Criminal - Shimmer
Chocolate Love - Shimmer
You Need More - Shimmer
What a Way to Go - Shimmer
Endorphins Ready! - Shimmer



The colours are very pigmented. Light hand needed in handling this shadows or else you can easily overdone it. Due to the high pigmentation, you can get many application with it. It is easy to blend and smooth to the touch. 

The colour stays on the lid and it can last up to 8 hours without creasing. I do not use any eye primer. You might get longer stay power if you apply an eye primer before putting on the eyeshadow. 


You can get this palette through Makeup Revolution's online store. The price it RM 65 excluding the shipment fees. Do check on their other products too.
