Have old bras that don't fit or just don't wear anymore? Great! Do drop by in one of the Neubodi specialty store near you to drop them off in the prepared Bra Bin. Don't trash them out because Neubodi's Bra Drive Campaign helps the women community in Nepal, India and Cambodia to improve their subpar living conditions. These trafficked women are able to make 5 times their minimum wages when they sell your donated bras in the second-hand clothing market, as bras are considered as luxury items and they are inaccessible within these regions.

Personally, since the Neubodi Bra Drive started some time ago, I've always kept my unwanted bras aside just so that I can finally put them all into these Bra Bins. I even had a friend who passed me her old bra months ago (when she was cleaning out her closet) just for this campaign!



Get RM10 rebate voucher for each bra donated and get 15% off with a minimum purchase of 2 bras. Also, for any new bra purchased during this period, RM1 will be donated to Breast Cancer Welfare Association Malaysia (BCWA).

They accept bras of any brand that's in good condition. Following types of bras are accepted:
  • Dailywear bras
  • Sports bras
  • Nursing bras
  • Mastectomy bras

This campaign will be held from 1 October 2015 - 3 November 2015. For more information, visit Neubodi's Facebook page


1 in 4 women in Malaysia confessed to own more than 10 bras in their lingerie drawers, with more than 80% of them...

New Age Of Firmness: SK-II R.N.A Power [Review]

$
0
0

Evolving from the Stempower technology, one of my favourite skincare brand now ushers in a new generation of anti-aging skincare with R.N.A (Radical New Age) Power. This skincare includes the revolutionary Pitera x R.N.A Complex, which holistically targets the multi-controller of firmness, to achieve lengthwise firmness x crosswise firmness by rejuvenating skin cells and promoting structural protein synthesis in every cell, all layer of the skin. 



The Products
SK-II bestselling moisturiser is upgraded with the new R.N.A Complex technology that claims to treat all 10 signs of ageing including loss of firmness, dryness, fine lines and wrinkles, sallowness, lack of resilience, visible pores, sagging skin, lack of radiance, roughness, and loss of tightened facial contours.

The R.N.A Power Radical New Age Essence was designed to improve emerging signs of ageing, specifically targeting the visibility of pores and skin texture.

My Thoughts
As usual, I like to try new skincare for at least a month before sharing my thoughts on them. I'm a big fan of SK-II's Facial Treatment Essence or also known as Miracle Water. It's my holy grail and one product that I will recommend for those interested to start investing in a high-end skincare product. Now, when these two R.N.A babies came along, it somewhat became a little too much of SK-II, I feel my skin can't take that sudden change of too much and possibly strong anti-ageing products on my skin. Thus, I stopped using the FTE and concentrate on these two new products.

It works much better but it's not as hydrating as my skin likes it. I feel the moisturiser is a little lighter than what my skin prefers, it's a velvety cream with a natural olive fragrance that does absorbs quickly into the skin, leaving a smooth finish. I like something a little thicker but this can be interpreted as oily and combination skin people finding this absolutely perfect.

The essence, on the other hand, is great. Love how it felt on my skin and great absorption power. For my skin, I think it did help with to reduce the visibility of pores, which is great! Though, realistically, I don't think I'll ever get to the point of being pore-less after 10 days of usage as claimed.

It's really hard to tell if it did do much on firmness and fine lines for me as I did Pelleve Treatment (Review) that's meant to enhance collagens and firmness during this testing period, so if anything, this skincare will just be for maintenance sake.

Packaging wise, can't say I don't love the luxurious glass bottle and container. The SK-II signature deep red and simple white wording makes me smile with a whole load of maturity. It just feels right, like a real woman.

My Recommendation
If you are still young, probably around 27 and below, just stick to their evergreen Miracle Water because I feel the R.N.A Power is meant for slightly mature skin or people with skin that's passed the whole "I need hydration" phase. Yes, anti-ageing skincare products are important, even for those early 20s, but really not these products. However, if you're crazy anxious about skin ageing (who doesn't), might I suggest starting with either one of these products, just to allow your skin to get familiarised and used to the whole anti-ageing ingredients. If you have oily or combination skin, the moisturiser will do wonders but if you have dry skin like mine, probably essence will be of better choice. There's really no harm trying because at the end of the day, these products will help to protect your skin and keep it strong due to the new ingredient.

Price
R.N.A Power Moisturiser 50g (RM373), 80g (RM561), 100g (RM599)
R.N.A Power Essence 30ml (RM419), 50ml (RM606), 75ml (RM862)

Breena Face Luxe Brush: Supporting Local Products! [Review]

$
0
0

I was sent this a couple of months ago and it totally changed my blushing game. Well, I'm exaggerating for sure but I really have only good things to say about this brush! It's soft, it's dense, it's Muslim friendly, it's cruelty free, and most importantly it's a local product!



For a start, I'm all about supporting local products, especially if they are great stuff. Breena Beauty was founded in 2013 by one of my fellow beauty blogger, Sabrina Tajudin who have a passion towards beauty products. Her mission is to make Breena Beauty the leading Muslim friendly and Cruelty Free company in the world. Additionally, making high quality products with beautiful packaging.

Before anything, you'll need to know that Face Luxe Brush was made for powder or liquid foundation that helps to give a soft focus airbrush finish to the skin. It's synthetic brush with no animal hair on it's amazing, thick and dense, soft brush. Truly, it's super soft!

However, I'm not quite comfortable using this as a liquid foundation brush. Even for powder, I feel it's a little to dense for my usual powder application. However, I absolutely love this as my blusher brush! Partially because I'm fair and usually quite heavy handed with my blushes, thus with this, it picks up a lot of product with just one simple swirl and applies on smoothly and quickly due to it's big brush surface. It cuts down the amount of time I spend on my blush routine when I'm using this brush.


Even though the handle is thick, it's really light. Perfect for travelling. Plus, it looks amazing with its Rose Gold ferrule, engraved gold Breena and brush name on a white wood handle. 

Price: RM45.00 (currently sold out)

They do have 2 recent launches, the Brow Definer and Basic Eyeshadow brush. It's RM25.00 each.

Shiseido 2015 Autumn/Winter Makeup Collection And Look!

Malaysia Top 10 Female Blogger

I'm absolutely digging the Fall look. There's something about the Fall season that attracts me. Probably it's a step closer to the holiday season as well as the gradual yet beautiful change in fashion and makeup trends. 

For Shiseido, 2015 Autumn/Winter is all about the lashes. Getting that deep black voluminous lashes while pairing it with a dark lippie totally screams effortlessly chic!

Shiseido Makeup 2015 Autumn/Winter collection

#3 Lips

Shiseido introduced 4 news shades for Perfect Rouge line as well as 4 new shades under the Veiled Rouge line. Perfect Rouge gives a rich, silky, full smooth lips as it's infused with moisture to ensure hydrated lips all time. While Veiled Rouge gives a much more mellow and delicate sheen to the lips. It also has a transfer resistant technology that wraps lips in colour and shine, for a beautiful finish that lasts.

On my lips: Empress RS 656
Empress is a grand and dramatic plum colour. It's deep and complex. 

#2 Cream Eye Colour

These cream shadows are gorgeous. They are dewy-textured that accents your eyes with shimmering light. Absolutely vivid and long lasting on the lids. It comes in 5 beautiful Fall-ish shades.

#1 Full Lashes!

The magic wand that every woman should have in their makeup bag. Mascara makes a huge difference to your eyes, it opens them up and boost confidence in you. This time around, the new Full Lash Volume Mascara offers total full volume with a deep black formula that's also resilient and separates the lashes appropriately. Personally, I do love the mascara because the formula is not as heavy as other volumizing mascara, thus it keeps my lashes up without the need for me to keep curling them. 

In addition to the whole rah-rah lash, Shiseido also introduced the Full Lash Serum to help enhance lash growth as well as protects lashes from damage. I can testify to the amount of times my lashes fall during makeup removal, even when I've tried my very best to be gentle with them. However, you will need to know that it's actually normal as long as it doesn't fall excessively.


The thing with lashes is that it has its own growth timeframe. According to Shiseido's research the life cycle of our lashes is extremely short - 4 months. The growth phase is about 39 days. However, the length of the eyelashes are highly dependent on their growth rate. With the help of the Full Lash Serum, it will not only help to speed the growing process but also to protect and nurture them for a fuller and denser lash look. 

Besides that, it can also be use on your brows too! Though, it's advisable apply the lashes first - start with the roots and then all over the lashes - before applying them on the brows.

Frank Salon Ep.5: When Grey Actually Matters...

$

Malaysia Top 10 Female blogger

If you have been following me on Instagram, you would probably know that this post is totally overdue. Though, I still want to give this hair colour a shoutout because it definitely, yet surprisingly made me look so much younger. Funny how things work out right, it's grey and famously known as the granny hair trend but totally turned out a direct opposite for me. I looked freaking Asian (in a pretty way) and it somewhat took 5 years off me. Not that I'm complaining, I actually kinda miss this hair, mainly it's also easier to maintain. 



I have had purple hair, blonde, purple again, and back to blonde for almost a year now. It was fun but with blonde hair comes more responsibilities of maintenance and I'm the worst at nurturing my hair. As mentioned many times in my blog, messy hair is my staple look. I'll go Serena Van Der Woodsen high school look any day. 

Being a blondie, I'm not the biggest fan when it comes to combing my hair as it gets tangles and frizz up once you get them untangled. Lols. Amazing right. Of course, then comes the hair oil and blah blah blah... Also, with bleached blonde hair, it's harder to get them looking shiny and healthy. Plus, my hair falls and breaks a lot. Thus, after I had my good, fun times being a blonde - seriously, it's fun being a blonde cause everyone thinks you're a bimbo with a resting bitch face, nobody dares to approach you, especially sales people in malls. Hallelujah! - I've decided to give my hair a rest and go with a colour that makes my hair look healthier and doesn't require bleaching. 

Thus, my stylist went with a grey theme, that is rather trendy at the moment but without making me look like a total granny. He mixed a couple of other colours in it to ensure that it somewhat grey with a little brown/gold undertone. It's beautiful. Plus, he just used the mix to colour my original dark brown roots to lighten them without damaging it too much. 

Hair treatment

As always, treatment is a must after every colour process. He also did some basic trimming, keeping my hair with a classic yet easy to maintain look. I'm grateful as truly, this hair colour and style totally keep my hair sane for a good two months before I recently dyed it red/rose gold. It keep it from breaking so much and totally feels so much healthier and easy to match with anything in my closet.

I think this is great for people who's interested to try grey but afraid of looking like a totally grandma. My stylist always believe that in order to make it look natural, one tone is definitely not the way to go. Colour mixing is crucial.

Hair makeover

I absolutely adore my stylist. You should totally check them out at Frank Salon's Facebook page! They are located in Bangsar South by the way, a place that's convenient to find parking. Thank God!

My First Dior!

Please excuse me while I scream and dance to my VERY FIRST DIOR! Just like your first kiss, it's a very big moment of my life to own my very first Dior item. Gosh, where do I begin. Heart racing, loud breathing, as if I was meeting the love of my life. Of course, Dior don't stand a chance against the current man in my life but the excitement was real. And oh, I probably wasn't thinking straight but I actually got myself two of the same but of different colour item. Yes, I've been using both the products and loving it! 



I was invited for the Dior opening in Mid Valley some time ago. As you can probably tell, my hair was blonde, thus, it must be a few months back. I won't lie, I had the time of my life checking out all the beautiful lippie shades, fabulous skincare line and the amazing range of perfume. Oh, I almost went to beauty heaven that night. There were music, celebrities, and lots and lots of champagne. I definitely had fun clinking glasses after glasses with my fellow blogger friends while we celebrate the Grand Launching of Dior Mid Valley. Oh happy day!


When it comes to the purchasing part, I asked the experts what would be the best first Dior product a girl can have? They introduced two wonderful lip products, the Dior Addict Lip Maximizer Collagen Active Lip Gloss and the Dior Addict Lip Glow Color Awakening Lipbalm. They are both under the lip primer category where it's the first essential step of every Dior Makeup Artists to prep their models' lips. They are the most universal product that works with all skin tones with an aim to provide moisture to the lips. 


After trying out both products on the back of my hand, I immediately fell in love with the Lip Maximizer as it's mint infused, thus hello cooling sensation that's absolutely refreshing, especially on sensitive dry lips like mine. Also, the formula is enriched with collagen and a blend of hyaluronic and marine-based fillers that instantly leave lips smooth, moisturised and plump-looking day after day!

I think I went mad and bought two of these, one in 001 (clear) and another in 007 (pink). I totally did not regret my purchase, they are the best lip treatment I've ever used in my life, so far. Even though they are a little bit thick and sticky but the fact that it's minty and super moisturising, I really can't complain. I keep the 001 (clear) in my room as a lip treatment before I sleep or when I'm writing and working from home. I have 007 (pink) in my bag acting as a simple touch up gloss when I feel my lips is dry and need some pampering when I'm out and about. This is definitely a product that I will repurchase and recommend!


Have a great day, peeps!

Here's a brief review on Babyfoot, super brief thoughts about Dotfree, and a long-ass hype about Purevivi!

$

I was invited by Watsons to attend an introduction on TokyoNinki products, which includes Baby Foot peel foot mask, Dotfree skincare, and Purevivi Cleansing Lotion. It was also my first time in Ossoto Recreational Hub, finally, I've been wanting to see what's all they hype about this 24-hour place. Pretty cool but I think it's more fun when you have your girls with you hanging around this place.

Anyway, after trying all three brands. From the title, you clearly know which easily became my favourite and I think it will stay a favourite for a very long time. The rest were just so-so to me.



Baby Foot review

First, let's talk Baby Foot, since I have the most picture with this product... Not the most glamorous shots but oh well, the review is more important.

Baby Foot Easy Pack is a 30 minute version designed specifically to remove unwanted dead skin cells from your feet in just 7 days. The secret ingredient is Fruit Acid, which penetrates into the layer of dead skin cells and works on the desmosomes between the skin layers, enabling easier peeling. Additionally, it comes with 17 types of natural extracts with high moisturising power in this product. Thus, it's natural and safe to be used.

What you do is pretty much wear on the foot mask, secure it with ready prepared stickers, and chill. Obviously, don't go walking around cause it's wet and slippery inside the bag. The sensation is rather... interesting. Had the time of my life laughing with my blogger friends while were at it.

Prior to me testing them out, I have a few friends used it before and said it was really good. Truly amazing and does as it claims. Apparently, after using them, you are expected to shed like a snake changing skins throughout the next few days. I was super excited actually but after waiting 7 days, nothing happened. lols.

We were also told that some might have thicker skin, which may cause it to not work with just 1 round of masking. There were cases where a guy had to go through 6 sets before it actually worked and worked well, making his feet feels and looks like baby's bottom.

"Why am I not shedding..." was probably the funniest thing that went through my mind within that 7 days. I've requested a second box and well, I think let's just conclude this whole matter with me claiming that my feet is amazing and I don't have anything to peel.


Dot Free review

I'm going to start with this first because it's probably going to be the shortest review among all. Dot Free is a skincare with Live Collagen where it provides superb moisture and helps with skin's firmness. They comes in two range - Resilience line (yellow packaging) and Medicated White line (red packaging) - each comes with a face wash and all-in-one essence.

I was all up for trying the Resilience line and made sure I got both the products in that same line. It contains 3 types of collagen including "live collagen", "permeable collagens", and "Succinylated atelocollageds". I don't understand crap about those terms but ultimately it aims to provide moisture, firmness, and resilience to the skin. That sounds great!

I've used it for almost 2 months now and I really don't have much complains. I mean I won't categorise it as my favourite, life-changing skincare that I've used but it did what is necessary, moisturise and did not break me out. I use 2 pumps in the morning and 3 pumps at night for that extra hydration boost. It doesn't have any scent to it, which is favourable to many, and it's easy because it's all-in-one. I assumed that it's like my essence and moisturiser combined into one bottle.

The bottle is tiny though, I'm almost done with it. One of the fastest skincare products I've every used and it's not because I'm super in love with it or anything. I think I just use a lot to keep my skin happy. I think this is great for those who's just started skincare and wanting to try something that doesn't require too many steps. Or this is also great for skincare addicts who wants to take a break from all the fancy items and go back to basic for a while.

Purevivi review

Mother of all holy grail, thank God for Purevivi Cleansing Lotion! HANDS DOWN THE BEST MAKEUP REMOVER I've tried so far. It's so good that I've 2 extra bottles kept in my stock. Seriously, it removes all waterproof makeup and it's super gentle on my skin. Also, it doesn't cause my contact lenses or my eye balls to go greesy and blurry after using them like how most oil removers do, especially when you are trying to remove makeup around those tightline and waterline areas.

I've used it for almost 2 months and definitely no regrets and don't plan to turn back from it anytime soon. Ever since I've found this, I gave away my half used oil based remover that I used to adore.

Purevivi Cleansing Lotion is actually a 4-in-1 multipurpose product. Well, humans are getting lazier, no wonder all these Japanese company are coming with "All-in-one" products to reduce our work as much as possible. I don't prefer it but whatever, as long as it gets the job done. It's a water-based cleansing lotion that contains Kidachi Aloe, a "royal plant" in Japan that's always being used as a healing, nourishing, and soothing properties. The 4 functions of Purevivi are:
  1. Makeup Remover
  2. Cleansing - don't need to clean your face with water.
  3. Moisturising
  4. Soothing
It's great for sensitive skin as it does not contain fragrance, colouring, paraben, cation and alcohol. It comes in a 1 size, a huge-ass 500ml bottle for RM48.90. Great for home use, not ideal for travelling. So, you can pour them into a small bottle if you are planning to travel with it. Otherwise, just stick to makeup remover wipes when travelling. Still, I do highly recommend this product! Two thumbs and two toes UP!

All products are available at Watsons and online at www.tokyoninki.com.

RoLeaf - This is how I like my Premium Tea.

$
0
0

I go both ways, I love coffee but I also love a good cup of tea. I usually opt for tea when I'm full, on diet, or when I feel like coffee is a little too rich for that moment in life. It's amazing because unlike coffee, I don't feel any guilt from drinking too much of it. It's the type of beverage that I can indulge in over a long conversation or the times when I just want to sit back and unwind. 

I'm not very particular about my tea, however, I know I'm pretty classic. I believe I prefer simpler taste when it comes to tea, mainly the usual Japanese Green Tea, Genmai Cha, Jasmine, Black, Oolong, Ceylon, and etc. Nothing too floral and nothing too colourful. I love the scent and the looks of the floral teas but definitely not consuming it, eg: Rose, Lavender (omgosh, I cannot), and etc. Yeah, I'm kinda weird that way. 



I agree, the above picture looks like it's different kinds of pots. xD !!!!! But I can assure you that they are premium teas by RoLeaf. Samples for me to try a few of their best sellers. Obviously, I've removed Rose and Lavender from my sampling list cause they are just not my cup of tea. It was also pretty obvious for me to sample either soothing sencha or peach green sencha first. 

Here's a little description of each tea I've tried:

Soothing Sencha - A fine Japanese green tea from the Shizuoka perfecture of Japan. Refreshing and smooth with slight roast flavours. High in antioxidant and Vitamin C. 
Something simple that I adore, a very traditional taste that's suitable for any occasion. I believe my family will also love this especially during our bak kut teh sessions!

Peach Green Sencha - Sweet Japanese sencha with fruity and peachy flavour. Mild stimulant, without causing insomnia or nervousness. 
For a little twist in my favourite green tea, peach works wonders in most cases. Definitely very summer, very refreshing. In fact, the peach scent from the tea reminds me to stay happy yet elegant. I love it! 

Rooibos the Robust - Translates into Red Bush, is a popular herbal beverage from South Africa. Rich in health properties, and naturally caffeine-free. Can be enjoyed with a slice of lemon, milk or honey. 
If you were to ask me, I can say this tea is perfect for afternoon tea sessions. Imagine, scones, jam, sipping Rooibos... That's the life. I love it with lemon and honey, gives a citrus twist that's absolutely refreshing and soothing to the throat. 

Peppermint Leaves - A herbal tea which has been drunk for centuries. Soothing and refreshing, it's appreciated for its powerful microbial properties which aid digestion. 
Smells Christmasy to me. It's something I would like to have when I'm having that time of the month. It's soothing scent helps to ease my under-the-weather mood and the hot tea comforts my belly. 

Teas I did not try:

Lemongrass & Ginger - Zesty and bright lemongrass contrasts the spicy flavour of ginger to create a refreshing and wild taste sensation. Both herbs have anti-inflammatory properties and are believed to bring about a calming effect in relieving insomnia and stress. 

Ravishing Rose Petals - A delicate blend of black tea and rose petals, high in vitamin C and can be served with honey. 

Revered Purple Lavender - A distinctive blend of black tea and lavender, it's relaxing and soothing. Beautiful liquor with a rich floral aroma. 


I'm a huge fan of these pyramid teabags. The quality is amazing! They are biodegradable, which allows more room for tea leaves to expand while steeping, bringing out its finest taste and fragrance. 


About RoLeaf
They believe nature is a gift for all mankind. Thus, always pursue to obtain its finest produce and to make it attainable to all. They are a luxury concept incorporating a distribution network which includes the esteemed elite, tea enthusiast and everyday drinker, offering a large variety of teas from many various countries.

Paris Hilton and Malaysia Top 10 Female blogger

It was a pleasure to meet fashion icon Paris Hilton in person. It was definitely an eye opener, she's actually pretty smart. I was mainly intrigued by the way she handles herself as well as by the way she markets herself and her brand. It was an inspiring moment to see how she made a name for herself and how she keeps her life balanced in the midst of her hectic lifestyle. 

Paris Hilton Limited Anniversary Edition for Women fragrance

The interview was mainly to celebrate her milestone unveiling Paris Hilton Limited Anniversary Edition for Women fragrance line's 10 year anniversary. The fragrance embodies Hilton's original essence with an intensified, more concentrated version of her signature scent, Paris Hilton for Women, which continues to be a favourite and best seller around the world. 

Check out the interview session with her...


Paris Hilton

Why do you keep creating perfumes? 
When I was a little girl, I always go to my mother's vanity and find all kinds of perfume there. So I told myself that one day, I'm going to have my own perfume. It's interesting how it bloomed as I've just released my 19th fragrance in US, which will be out in Malaysia soon and three more coming soon.

What inspires you to create the Paris Hilton Limited Anniversary Edition for Women fragrance?
I want something like an art and this is very bling, very sparkly, very me. It's really inspired by my life. Also, it has to be something that people will love and want to carry it in their bags and spray it on whenever, wherever. If I was a perfume bottle, it will be this!

How did you become who you are now? 
I thought I was going to be a vet when I was younger but opportunity with Donald Trump modelling agency came about and that's where I started doing runway shows, campaigns and etc. From there, I just grow up and became a business woman and starting all my fashion, fragrance and clothing line for the little ones too.

Are you going to continue to be a DJ?
I love DJ-ing. I get to travel around the world, see my fans, meet and greets, and do my business woman stuff during the day, and then at night I get to DJ at the biggest festivals at that area. So it's great that I get to make the most out of my time during my trips. I love entertaining people, being on stage and feeling the energy from thousands of people, smiling, dancing and having a good time. It's like being a rockstar! It's so much fun.

What defines a woman? 
I think the most important thing is being confident and believe in yourself. Work hard, be a good person, and you do what you love. I've worked so hard in building my empire and I'm very proud of it. It's all about being yourself, really.

What scares you?
I'm not really scared of anything. I'm quite a daredevil and I do actually love living my life. I'm an adult now and I'm currently in the best relationship in my life, and in the best place in my life. I'm just really happy right now.

My Christmas & New Year Fashion Haul!

$
0
0

I'm blessed to have this opportunity to collaborate with Cincaibuy.com for my Christmas and New Year outfits! Don't worry, they are all very wearable even on normal days. Nothing too crazy or costumey. My fashion style is very simple and easy, I personally believe in wearing clothes that makes you comfortable. I hardly go all out in accessories, even though I do have tons of it in my collection. 

I managed to pick out a shirt, skirt, dress, coat, and a pair of shoes within the budget of RM400. I could have more in my cart if I didn't had the wanting for a fabulous brown coat that cost me half of my budget. Judge me all you want, I probably won't wear it in Malaysia because the weather is just way too hot but hey, a girls got to get what she wants and I definitely did not regret being a proud owner of this good looking Burberry inspired coat! I'm a happy girl! 



Navy Blue Checked Dress with Sheer Sleeves
RM36

This dress is very comfortable to wear and easy. However, at times, it does give you that slight tummy, pregnant looking if you are bloated. Partly because this dress is almost a shift dress design. It doesn't show too much curves. It's a breezy material that's suitable for hot weather.

Beige Oxford with Chunky Heels
RM32

I love this shoe! Been wanting an oxford for the longest time. I'm a size 5 and it fit perfectly. Plus, RM32 for a pair of Oxford is so affordable! 

Khaki Burberry Inspired Coat
RM243

For the price, it's a freaking good quality coat. Material is sturdy and solid. Definitely will be able to keep you warm should I visit a colder country. It's so stylo. 

White Shirt with Puffy Sleeves (RM26) and Dark Green Skater Skirt (RM23)

I adore this outfit! The puffy white shirt totally brings the cuteness out of me. Also, to my surprise, the white shirt quality is pretty decent. I don't even need to wear an additional singlet inside, a nude coloured bra works. It doesn't show my innerwear at all. The green skirt is a thick knitted kind of material and it's super stretchy. However, both comes in free size, thus, it may not fit everyone. 

Overall, my thoughts on Cincaibuy.com...

Yes, I'm going to be honest, I do agree that the name Cincaibuy sounds absolutely doggy. However, I do think that they did a good job in making its website looks decent and definitely feels much more safe and trustable. They do have a lot of choices and selections for both men, women, and even kids. Pricing wise, a good range of cheap to pricy.

A tip, don't just immediately buy when you see something you like. Add them to cart, then go on scrolling through all the items till the end. Because I realise that they do have some same items that are of different pricing, thus, I highly recommend taking your time in shopping at CincaiBuy because you never know what kind of good deals you can get.

As for material wise, I'm actually pretty happy with all the items I've purchased. They do have that certain quality to it that is worth what I pay for or even better actually. The only downside is probably not all having various sizes to pick from, some only comes in free size.

When it comes to service, they do need time to get it shipped from overseas or to be more specific, China. Mine took about 3 weeks to arrive. It is stated in their shipping terms on their website that it takes at least 10-14 days on normal circumstances. However, all items arrived safely and no major issues. I mean for the price you pay, it is still worth buying if you are in no hurry because the quality is really not too shabby.

Indeed Laboratories Hydraluron Mega Moisture Trio [Review]

$
0
0

First of all, I think the packaging looks simple and pretty. It's great. However, I can't fully rave them as my absolute favourite products, probably because the products are gel based and my skin is not quite friendly towards gel products even though it's made to quench my parched skin.

Indeed Laboratories are products exclusively sold at selected Watsons in Malaysia and they are paraben free, fragrance free, colourants free, and sulphates free. The products are not tested on animals too. They do have a range of products that targets various skin concerns, I suggest that you get to the counter at Watsons and check them out yourself because Malaysia did not bring in all of the available products presented on their website and social media pages.

Now, the Hydraluron Mega Moisture Trio targets dehydrated and dry skin. It claims to have five scientifically proven ingredients that provides instant and sustainable moisture, mainly the famous Hyaluronic Acid, allows you to retain x1000 times its weight in water within the skin. It's meant to make your skin feel softer, more supple and radiantly glowing.


Hydraluron Moisture Jelly (RM105)

Hydraluron Serum (RM115.60)

From what I can tell you is that the Moisture Jelly feels thicker than the Serum. They are truly scentless, which I know appeals to a lot of people out there, especially ones with sensitive skin. I personally do really want to like this but I feel that it will work better for people with oily skin. As mentioned, my dry skin is not very friendly towards gel products. As much as I really like the good quality ingredients in it, my skin just can't agree with it or at least I can't use these two products alone. I must apply another cream product over it to at least allow the surface of my skin feels moisturised.

Because both products absorbs really well into the skin. It almost doesn't feel like it leaves any residue on the surface, which I know a lot of my oily skin friends love that feeling. Unfortunately, not quite me though, thus, I have been using this along with a skin finisher or another cream moisturiser to fulfil my skin's needs on the epidermis layer while Hydraluron products as a way for me to target my inner skin layers. This method works better for me!

Hydraluron Moisture Boosting Mask (RM21.10)

As for their mask, I actually do quite fancy it. The mask sheet itself is really thick, thus, you will have to fully be laying on your back and chill while having this mask on. It says to leave on for 15 minutes, I think I left it on way longer, till it feels a bit drier. Even with that, there are still goodness soaked in the mask, so I went on and wipe the used masked all over my body. 

I have to say that this mask does give me that immediate moisture boost that I need. Really, it feels amazing. However, if you are in a hot and humid weather, I highly suggest doing it before you go to bed instead of during the day when you are planning to go out because this can feel slightly heavy on your skin, thus rest and give your skin time to enjoy the pampering. However, if you are living in a cold country and it's winter, by all means use them everyday! 


I guess the only final thing I can say is that they are rather pricey. Or at least in Malaysia, it's pricey. So be very sure by checking it out yourself first before actually purchasing them. If you ask me, I will probably only highly recommend the mask because I do absolutely love it.

In conjunction with Christmas this year, Melvita launched its new Nectar de Rose Range where captures the scent of three unique organic wild roses - Rosa Mosqueta from South of Chile, Rosa Canina from Vercors, and Rosa Gallica from Regions of Drome. Together, this bouquet of fresh roses fills the air this bee-jolly season with a delicate fragrance. Check out the set that I've got!

  • Rose Petal Shower (250ml) - RM80
  • Hydrating Body Veil (200ml) - RM115
  • 3 Roses Nectar Lips and Dry Areas (8g) - RM62
The additional product that I received was the L'OR BIO Extraordinary Oil (100ml, RM178). It's famous for its unique synergy of 5 rare and precious oils (Argan oil from Morocco, Kendi oil from Indonesia, Inca Inchi oil from Amazonia, Buriti oil from Brazil, and Pracaxi oil from Amazonia. Gathered from the four corners of the world, providing a subtle, non-oily, deeply nourishing protective film for both the skin and hair.

However, if there's one product that I will personally recommend from Melvita, it will definitely be the L'ARGAN BIO Body Oil in Cream (175ml, RM109). It's an amazing, velvety body cream enriched with nourishing sunflower oil and protective beeswax. I was head over heels for it when I had them, felt awesome.

A Precious Gift From L'OCCITANE & PIERRE HERMÉ This Christmas!

Omgosh, I can't help it. They are too beautiful! From the box to the packaging of the products, truly luxurious looking little things. However, the scent itself are rather distinctive, it's either love or hate it. Thus, it's probably tough to gift them for Christmas. It's better to just buy them to pamper yourself. With that said, here are the two limited edition products that I received - Jasmin Immortelle Neroli handcream (30ml, RM41) and Pamplemousse Rhubarbe EDT (75ml, RM275).



Jasmin Immortelle Neroli Handcream (30ml, RM41) [in yellow]
The Jasmine Immortelle Neroli range is known as the more feminine scent set. It's pretty much an overwhelming Jasmine in a tube, with a hint of softness by the wild Orange Blossom. If you love the scent of Jasmine, you will love this range! The range also comes with:
  • EDT 75ml - RM275
  • Shower Gel 250ml - RM88
  • Body Lotion 250ml - RM127
  • Shimmering Body Powder 20g - RM180
  • Perfumed Soap 50g - RM24
  • Lip Gloss 12ml - RM41

Pamplemousse Rhubarbe EDT (75ml, RM275) [in green]
Think citrus fruit clarity merges with Rhubarb sharpness... Lols, even I have no idea how to picture that scent. Let's make it simpler, think Grapefruit with a hint of woody notes of Cedar. It's known to be suitable for men and women but again, it's very distinct. I can't say that it's a scent that everyone will like. Other products that comes with this range:
  • Shower Gel 250ml - RM88
  • Body Lotion 250ml - RM127
  • Perfumed Soap 50g - RM24
  • Handcream 30ml - RM41
  • Lip Balm 12ml - RM41

Gift Sets Selection
It comes with a beautiful macaroon inspired box and three products from each full-sized Fragrance Set (EDT, Shower Gel, Body Milk) for RM490!

My personal favourite from L'OCCITANE is the Almond Velvet Serum for body. Goodness heaven, I was hooked on that luxurious glass bottle for God knows how long. It smells absolutely amazing! Check out my review on the Almond Velvet Serum here!

Romantic Restaurant in Malaysia
Malaysia Food Blogger

I had the opportunity to review the dinner set for NYE at Signature The Roof at First Avenue Bandar Utama. Knowing myself, I usually don't do food review unless I have faith in their food. I knew the food at Signature The Roof is amazing, thus, I can't say no when I was approached. Plus, I kind of grabbed the opportunity to set a date night with my partner. It was time to treat my boyfriend to a great meal along with a beautiful view.

In a gist, as expected, the food were delicious. To my surprise, the mains were in big portions and filling. Overall, the food are definitely worth bringing your love ones there for NYE dinner. It's RM190++ per pax with buffet assortment, including appetizer, turkey carving, fresh seafood, desserts, and one choice of main. Thus, what I had the other day was a 3 course meal, while the NYE dinner will be a buffet spread! Additionally, Stratosphere at The Roof, Asia's 1st grassed helipad bar, is having The Ultimate NYE Countdown, they have one of the best views for Fireworks! After your meal, you can just walk over for the celebration as the dinner package comes with complimentary entry and 1 drink!


Definitely not the NYE cocktail, this is some kind of cherry cocktail. New Year cocktail comes with Apple rum, Frangelico, and Pineapple Juice.

Homemade Mushroom Soup. Heavenly!
Button mushroom, Oyster mushroom, Shiitake mushroom, Yellow onions, and Truffle!

 Nicoise Salad
Quill egg, red tuna, mix salad, mini french bean and potatoes.

Signature Grilled Salmon
Grilled then baked in a special house batter. Served with asparagus, Romesco sauce and pumpkin mash. Oiiiii, it was an interesting way of cooking the fish but so good in my mouth. The texture was so unique and it tasted lovely with the pumpkin mash.

Fillet Oskar
Tenderloin on a bed of creamy spinach served with asparagus, crabmeat and hollandaise sauce. Goodness, we thought it was cheese and spinach! It sure do taste like it. The meat was cooked to perfection, thick, tender, juicy. Yumsss. 

Not sure what dessert is this. Could be some mini pavlova and a chocolate cake or something. It's alright, nothing to scream about it.


Here's the deal, if the complimentary cocktail is not your cup of tea or even any other time you are at Signature for a meal, must try these two fantastic cocktails. I totally forgot what's the name of the cocktail in pineapple but I think you ask the waiter, they should know. The other one is the famous Milo Ice. Milo Ice with alcohol is actually pretty amazing!

Another new cocktail, forgotten the name but it's filled with chocolate, ice-cream, and cream. My goodness, so rich and oh so good.

Signature at The Roof

Also, if you are interested to step out for a bit, there's a small area where you'll get to enjoy the breeze and the view of the city.

4 Things I Love About The Estée Lauder #BeautyPlayground !

$

My oh my, Estée Lauder Malaysia reveals the first in the world concept store in Sunway Pyramid! Calling it the #BeautyPlayground, the idea is for you to go in and PLAY with SKINCARE and COSMETICS! Of course, at the moment, the store is surrounded by elements of current 'it' girl and face of Estée Lauder - Kendall Jenner. It's rare for me to actually feel influenced by a celebrity but I do actually love Kendall. Have you seen her latest commercial with Estée Lauder? She's gorgeous and funny!



There are six play areas, Glow On, Get Polished, Strike a Pose, Glam Up, Mix and Mingle, and Chill with Kendall Jenner. Though, I personally have 4 personally favourites. 


#1 Get Polished

The first play area that caught my eye was this wonderful stand with filled with lippies and polishes! It was displayed so beautifully that I had to stop and try on as many nail colours and lip colours as possible while being inspired from the tablet available. Funz!

#2 Mix and Mingle

Holla, I'm quite a fragrance kind of girl. Thus, the hall of EL fragrance fame! I have been intrigued by the Modern Muse Perfume for the longest time, I love the packaging and chic-ness of it. Thank goodness they smell heavenly! Otherwise, I'll probably be temporarily depressed due to bubble bursted and expectations not met. Lols.

#3 Gift Ideas

From a full set of lip glosses to miniature perfumes, their gift sets are beautifully packed and ready for check out! Grab and Go, easy for men and fabulous for the ladies. I was so tempted to get one of those, but my dark circle tells me to get their amazing Double Wear Concealer in full size. 

#4 Glam Up

Makeover! A beauty playground will never be complete without a makeover station. Here, you'll get to speak to well-trained beauty specialists from the 'Dream Team' to discover personalised secrets to makeup and create looks that's uniquely you!



Additionally, don't forget to check out the Estée Lauder e-commerce site for promotions and exclusive stories on Kendall Jenner on its editorial platform.


Thank you Estée Lauder for having at the launch of the #BeautyPlayground! I had fun running around with my girlfriends and playing with makeup.

Sally Hansen Miracle Gel + Freaking Amazing Top Coat!

$

I've been exposed to Sally Hansen nail products for the longest time and frankly, I personally do love them and they are by far my favourite home nail care brand. They are super easy to use and long lasting. 

Check out some of my previous reviews: French Manicure, Nail Growth Miracle Review, Nano Nano Nails, Pretty Nails

I had a favourite top coat and it was the Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Top Coat. But recently, they've introduced this new Miracle Gel Top Coat that I've tried and totally fell in love with. They are one of those top coats that does everything it claims to do, which is 2x volume and shine! However, their Miracle Gel Colours did not meet my expectations, or at least the light pastel colours (the ones that I've tried) totally didn't get me going crazy. It was unfortunate because the whole idea of a Gel finish without LED/UV light is absolutely fantastic.

Sally Hansen introduced the new Miracle Gel, first ever part lacquer, part gel manicure system that delivers up to 14 days of lasting colour and shine in just 2 easy steps. Simply apply two coats of the Miracle Gel Colour Coat, followed by the Miracle Gel Top Coat, to achieve the most convenient manicure ever. 

The not-so-great colours...
So far, I own 4 of these colours: Pinky Promise, B Girl, Birthday Suit, and Malibu Peach. They are all pastel, light shades. The problem with these colour is that all of them requires at least 3-4 coats to get an even, opaque finish. I have to be pretty skillful to not get them layered on too thick before my top coat. Additionally, they finish off semi-matte, which is weird as they are suppose to gel-ish. It means that they are suppose to have a glossy finish. Also, they don't last very long on their own, you must, MUST, apply the Miracle Gel Top Coat for that beautiful, glossy and lasting finish. 

However, I can only speak for the light coloured ones. I'm not sure if the bold colours turn out the same. 

The amazing Top Coat!
On the other hand, the Miracle Gel Top Coat is amazing! They claim to deliver up to 14 days of lasting colour and shine (kinda works if you take good care of your nails) and creates a dramatically fuller-looking nails with high-gloss (true), mirror-shine (not true, I don't remember seeing my reflection) finish. Of course, you don't need to use LED/UV lamp to cure your nails, and it can be easily removed with regular acetone-based nail polish remover, without filling, chipping or scrapping them off. 

All their brushes are the typical amazing Sally Hansen wide and dense applicator. The best nail polish brushes in town! It is recommended to use Miracle Gel colour and top together to the full effect and apparently, you don't need a base coat for this. Say what... *running around like kid* 


Miracle Gel range are available at Watsons, Guardian, HK Sasa, Caring and Parkson at RM36.90 each. While the duo pack is only available at Watsons for RM52.90.

Last Christmas, I Participated In The Bene Box Project!

Malaysia Top 10 female Blogger

Last Christmas, I took some time off with Dex to spend a Saturday morning at Caffe Bene Gamuda Walk with the Butterfly Project Bloggers and a few kids from Yayasan Seribu Harapan Malaysia. This was the 2nd phase where we actually get the opportunity to meet the children while phase one was done earlier to pack the gifts for the kids. You'll probably see it as nothing much, but hey, it's definitely a meaningful moment for me.

Our table was way beyond noisy! I love it! Everyone was just having fun, sharing yummy gelatos (yup, it was actually really good, try the vanilla and yogurt flavour), singing tamil ice-cream songs... All these little princesses taught us more tamil words so we can order more food in mamak.

After sending the kids off, we bloggers had a little catching up session ourselves. It was probably the best time to chill and update each other about our lives. The best thing about being a blogger is that you'll meet more people and once in a while, you'll meet some that you genuinely do life with. 

I will have to say, I'm not a big fan of Bingsu. I personally don't like it, just as when everyone was crazying over Snowflakes, I'm just not one to jump into that bandwagon. Too much ice. Though, I can't deny that the outlet in Gamuda Walk is actually pretty cool. They have a cool hidden spot that's totally Instagram worthy at the corner back of the outlet. It's a little warm but the lighting is perfect! Additionally, I've also tried out some of their other stuff on the menu. Their waffles and fraps are pretty good.

Frank Salon Ep.6 : Fiery Red + Intro to OLAPLEX

$
0
0

It's been a while since I had a photoshoot. I was so not myself during this amazing opportunity shooting with a celebrity photographer Steven Goh for one of my favourite hair place, Frank Salon. From these few pictures itself, you can tell that the stylist is pretty amazing, well, he always does a fantastic job with my hair colour and cuts. If you are looking to commit to a salon nearby Bangsar South, you should totally try visiting Frank Salon.

Check out my past few experiences with them: My First Bleaching Experience, Treatment + Temp. Curls, Long Hours For Purple Hair, Grey Matters.



Frankie, my stylist, always believes in having a few tones when it comes to hair colouring because one tone makes everything looks... weird and one dimensional. Thus, this red also comes with a little rose gold reflects and if you follow me on Instagram (@Jqleejq), you'll know that it faded rather beautifully.

Along with colouring, they've introduced me to this great new thing call OLAPLEX and this one ingredient changes everything. This is a new salon service where you can now go blonder and lighter without worrying about damaging your hair too much. This product is a single ingredient chemistry, that's free of silicone or oils, that links broken bonds in the hair during and after chemical services, making them stronger than they were before!

They've tried it on my hair and I'm not even kidding, my hair felt amazing. Unfortunately, I didn't manage to get the Perfector no.3 Take Home product for home maintenance and continue to strengthen hair further, thus that's probably why the amazing feeling only lasted for a month. Though, overall, it still dramatically reduce breakage after colouring my hair. However, it's said to help make my hair colour last longer, that's not really the case for me. It could be I washed my hair within 24 hours after having this red hair due to the fact that I needed to remove the styling products on my hair before I go to bed.

It's only for professional use and it's rather new in the market thus very few salons in town is actually providing this service. Personally, I do highly recommend because it really helped with reducing the amount of hair fall or breakage after going colour crazy with my hair. It needed this without a doubt.

If you are wondering, these are the people behind my glorious hair throughout 2015!
