Dear Readers
First of all, i wanna thank all for reading this not-kept-up-to-date blog for various reviews and dropping comments since i'm not some big time blogger like Xiaxue or so on..
Secondly, i wanna say that all the products or services that i've reviewed are ALL PURCHASED BY MYSELF and NOT SPONSORED.
Thirdly, the main purpose of this post is to warn who-ever is thinking of copy-and-pasting my contents to your own blog product review, ESPECIALLY when you seems to be an established and have a number of followers ALREADY.
YES! I'm not sure if i should be bl**dly happy that some established beauty blogger COPIED-AND-PASTED my content or upset given that this means the person is indirectly cheating the sponsors and their followers.
I don't think i can do much, given i'm such a small pea (in the internet blogging world and in the real world) unless anyone could advise me on such copyright issues??
Ms Koey Leow - a malaysian beauty blogger that has many posts and accepts review sponsorship etc. has copied and pasted my post on Banila Co. Prime Primer Classic Review which you can refer to this page and take a look for yourself.
Here's the pictures as proof as well:

This is so "Exciting" that someone actually want and did copy my review.
An almost word-for-word copying isn't brilliant, but definitely copying from a pea blogger works as no one would find it easily.
So for everyone, I hereby announced that there is a copyright to my blog and i would seek to take legal actions if needed from now onwards. You will also realize that the copy-and-paste function is disabled due to this event.
I must say this is the first time i completed a post within an hour and posting it up. LOL! (Thanks to the motivation from Ms Koey Leow).
To Ms Koey Leow
I'm "flattered" that you think what i wrote for Banila Co. Prime Primer Classic was good and actually copied and pasted as your blog post review for the same product. I've also read a few of your other post and it seems like you are good writer yourself. I have to say that you seems to have flawless skin as well unlike mine. However, it would be pleasantly good that you credit the stated review to me instead of taking it as your own or even better, remove it. I believe your sponsor for that post would also like you to personally write a review for that product instead.
I would not be taking any legal actions on you. However, this event would be made known into the internet world through this post and tags so it would prevent any mishaps from happening to me (online/brick-and-mortar). You may want to take relevant actions on your side such as crediting and prevent further similar events happening in future. I also hope that you realize i'm doing a free publicity for you as well.
If you need to contact me, you may leave a comment on this post.
Thank you Ms Leow!
And in conclusion everybody, start taking care of your internet properties and prevent such similar events.
To All other blogger, do take good care too!
