Thank you dear for posting this up because I never thought such simple thing could have been faked.
The back
The pack that I bought from Aussie eBayer. It's for auction and I cant remember exactly how much I paid for 2 packs of it, may be $2?
Everything looks fine EXCEPT the direction of the open mouth. Er... don't know if it's fake T_T
If according to the description, I think the "mud" of the mask is very dark in colour, as the blogger said that for counterfeit item,"The cream is 50% more transparent black than real stock. It is very sticky and smell like gum." Well the smell is not horrible to me though, so can I safely say mine is the authentic one? LOL.
I was inspired by Bubzbeauty to make my own toner with natural ingredients, and also because my toner was running dry at the time >_<
This video from Bubz shows how to make mask and toner by ourselves. I have all the ingredients for masks as well but I will save them for later as I still have lots of face-masks.
Tune to 4:25 for how to make the toner.
I bought the Apple Cider Vinegar (750ml) for $2.60.
A box of green tea with 20 teabags for $1.20.
From the land where my Great-greatgrandpa and grandfather from :)
First, make a mug of green tea with boiled water and set it aside to be cooled down.
Pour into a clean empty bottle, as instructed by Bubz, 2/3 of the bottle to be filled with green tea.
And then 1/3 of it with apple cider vinegar.
Here's my toner! Big bottle at that (500ml) and only costs me a fraction of $3.80! Damn cheap! I've tried it and my face feels cold and smooth, love it! Hopefully it can reduce my acne and acne scars after a month or so :)
As you can see in Bubz's video, she uses Egyptian magic cream after using the toner... I actually found out about this cream through a Melbourne blogger and am surprised to know Bubz is also using it! And apparently, it caused a rave in Hollywood and the world (as claimed) and every celebrities and non-celebrities are using it. I surveyed various comments and feedback before I decide to buy it on eBay because it costs $35 + $7.65 shipping fee! There are mixed responses, some (or I can say many) claim it works magic and wonders, and some don't find it "magic" (because they already have good skin, DUH), and some abandon using it because it is too oily or does not work.
This is how the cream looks like, with a free sample in tube.
It is made of 100% natural ingredients (as claimed by Mr. LordPharaoh ImHotepAmonRa. Geez, I doubted for a moment when I read this name on the label. This Mr. Howard put the powerful Egyptian Gods' names together to become his Egyptian name!) such as Olive oil, Beeswax, Honey, Pollen, Royal Jelly, and Propolis Extract.
But it smells like wax to me though.
I finally decided to buy it because I noticed over 2 days only, its listings on eBay are selling out fast and also The New York's Times had interviewed the founder, so I made the biggest decision to buy the most expensive product ever from eBay.
And because of that I am officially broke. Haha!
Am surprised again because just found out Bubz actually did a video on the cream!
And oh yeah, check out the list below from a Singapore eBay listing, I chuckled when I read some of them, LOL^^

This is dubbed as the most sexual explicit themed music video from South Korea, beating all Lee Hyori's controversial sexy music videos. When I first watch it I don't get the message and think: "Geeez, it's over publicized". But when I start to watch it for the second and third time, including the Live performance, I GET it.
So here it is, Abracadabra by Brown Eyed Girls
What do you think of the Brown Eyed Girls? Because of this video, the Wonder Girls news are faded away in the forum and Korean-related internet forums and blogs, because everyone is talking about this banned music video which portrayed too many obscene sex messages (and explicit postures!) even to the Western standard.
But what makes this phenomenon so interesting is the Boy Bands in South Korea start making lots of parody on this music video. And one such ridiculous example is as shown below:
Soooo effing hilarious isn't it? I laughed until my heart aches, oh my.
Wonder girls are cute even though their dance moves sometimes are sexy, but when parodies are made they are not as disgusting as this one.
this reminds me of Joe of Jonas Brothers doing parody on Beyonce's Single Lady. Ewww, that is gross! guys please don't wear leotard-like outfit, it's just gross. Period.
Anywho, I have to admit that the dance moves are very interesting and everybody is doing it, LOL
Dina Goldstein is a much acclaimed photographer whose create works never fail to aspire and inspire others. I love this particular mini project of hers, Fallen Princesses :)
Face the realities, even the princesses are not living a "happily ever after" life.
These works place Fairy Tale characters in modern day scenarios. In all of the images the Princess is placed in an environment that articulates her conflict. The '...happily ever after' is replaced with a realistic outcome and addresses current issues.
The project was inspired by my observation of three-year-old girls, who were developing an interest in Disney's Fairy tales. As a new mother I have been able to get a close up look at the phenomenon of young girls fascinated with Princesses and their desire to dress up like them. The Disney versions almost always have sad beginning, with an overbearing female villain, and the end is predictably a happy one. The Prince usually saves the day and makes the victimized young beauty into a Princess.
As a young girl, growing up abroad, I was not exposed to Fairy tales. These new discoveries lead to my fascination with the origins of Fairy tales. I explored the original brothers Grimm's stories and found that they have very dark and sometimes gruesome aspects, many of which were changed by Disney. I began to imagine Disney's perfect Princesses juxtaposed with real issues that were affecting women around me, such as illness, addiction and self-image issues.
There are 2 more to be shot for this series which is going on exhibit on Oct. 15/09
I was attracted by the Snow White's shot so I began to search for its series :)
Married Snow White's life
Our typical imagination on reality faced by the princess after married: the Prince is lazy at home, a messy house with pets roaming around, and lots of children or babies to look after. Bingo!
The Sleeping Beauty and her prince in the Old Folk's home, so unfair because she still retains her youth by sleeping, LOL
Little Red Riding Hood gets fat with McD food XD
Rapunzel has cancer that made her proud long hair fall off.
Jasmine goes to war (because she's froma Middle East-setting story, LOL)
Cinderella gets wasted at a dive
Belle needs plastic surgery to keep her beauty and youth.... I somewhat disagree with this because Belle is my favourite princess who comes from a poor condition but does not dreamed to go to Prince's party like Cinderella yet willing to risk herself to be with the Beast. So I think she has the most beautiful heart among the princesses so I don't think she will go for plastic surgery, LOL
Sometimes I cannot stand my students doing nonesense on the FB, teasing each other, emo-ing about their love problems, etc. But I have to blog about THIS one because it does not seem right to some people's mind:
*click to enlarge to read the comment*
So this stupid quiz machine tells my beloved student A that she will have 2 babies in the future. My student B got a 5 and she said it's not enough she wants more. A student C got 3 and said how come so sikit? A student D got 7 and she thanked the God and not the retard quiz master for the rezeki.
So the student A's response may be deemed as a rare one as she says "sudah cukop" for a 2. And her friend is trying to impose some @#$% thought on others life by saying "cukup ke 2? Nabi suruh meramaikan umat".
It was like (OK, it's actually "I feel like bashing..."), don't you know your friend is also a muslim? Do you think she's so stupid that she does not know this particular teaching of Nabi? And do you think she is not giving a thought of what she want in life? And what are you trying to do by leaving that comment? To tease her by not wanting more children and giving response like "2 jer? nak 8!" like you?
This does not mean she does not want more children because she wants to care less (like me, haha). She is my A-list student who is capable of becoming a diplomat or at least working for Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which I highly anticipate she will. She is good and excellent not only academically but also in her attitude.
So for those who has no ambition in high profile carrer and whatnot, just godamn shaddap and look after your 8 or may be 12 children back home and worrying if your husband is seeing other women while your friend travelling and working around the world serving the country and raising her 2 children overseas, godammit.
"Growing up in a simple village has made me an ordinary girl-next-door, living an ordinary life. Liking a care-free, tranquille life, sometimes I like a rich-colourful lifestyle... this is a girl's paradox. Many people say Virgo is a clean-freak and yearns for perfection. But I am not a 100% Virgo. Hopefully this is a place where lots of travllers will stop by."
She actually blogs about her life too at Dream Land. I would like to review some of her products here, picking out my favourites month by month, I have not browsed her 2008 posts so all reviewed below are 2009 products.

Because I have no talent in sewing, I hate sewing. I am amazed at how people can sew something so carefully and neatly that you won't see a thread plucking out, HAH.
I love plushies. Seems like a lot of cosplayers can make plushies themselves too. This is because the professional cosplayers made costumes by themselves! Although there are anime costumes for sale in Japan and Hong Kong, most cosplayers would prefer to custom made their own to suit their own body, and trying to make the costumes as closely match as to the real anime characters. I love cosplays and cosplayers so I will blog about these some other day^^
When I was reading blog posts on KLue, I came across with Evangelione's Handmade as she set up a stall at KLue as well. I had been to KLPac, I love the place very much and it is the first art gallery I visited. I wrote a post about it in my old blog, but oh well, some stupid jealousy factor caused the blog to be deleted. I don't feel like wanna write about it anymore, so sad (丌^丌) (I put lots of heart and soul in writing it, Goddammit).
Anyway, Evangelione makes dollhouse miniature (GOD I don't know how to spend hours sitting there just to build something a thousand times smaller than the real thing T_T), plushies (me like!), handmade accessories, paper crafts, drawings, and much more. Something worth mention is that all her works are licensed underCreative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 2.5 Malaysia License.
I would have to say Evangelione's custom made work is AWESOME! After viewing this section, Evangelione is already an Evangelion or God-like in my heart.
She can turn this
Into this!
The lolita hat for lolita dolls. Custom made for her friend.
Custom made ring box.
Custom made from an online order, for a sister's birthday present.
Here comes the awesomeness of miniature by Evangelione.
The water is like REAL! It's a misture of EPOXY glue mixed with colour.
Audrey, her birthday-girl friend, whom she created this especially for her birthday present (her friends are so lucky to have a friend like her!)
Zoom in. Genius.
Zoom. Zoom. Zoom.
Another super duper awesomeness that left me in awe. My stomache is literally drumming while looking at this work, I am speechless and hungry!
OMG how can a person duplicate chips with such similarity including the yummy-ness!!?

(Her friends truly know where her capability is T_T)

Good Lord

Jesus Christ (sorry for using God's name in vain).

Thank you dear for posting this up because I never thought such simple thing could have been faked.
