Lierac Body-Slim Multi-Action Concentrate - Complete Body Contouring

Lumpy appearance, cottage cheese, dimpled appearance, orange peel skin...whatever you call it...on your thigh and buttock...is none other than cellulite. Cellulite makes your legs, arms, buttock, hips and thighs to look 'not so nice'. You just wish there is a magical wand and with some magical mantra "Go away cellulite" and then poof! You have a smooth, lifted and firm legs, arms, buttock, hips and thighs. 

Well, there isn't any magic for this, but there sure is an alternative; the anti-cellulite cream! And that is what I have been using for the past two weeks, the Lierac Body-Slim Multi-Action Concentrate!!

Christmas Gift from Natta Cosme

Dear Natta Cosme,

I wish I could receive parcels from you everyday, lol...remember I posted about the Typhoon Haiyan fund by Natta Cosme sometime back? As a token of appreciation, you sent little gifts to me, which I appreciate a lot!!! I felt like a little princess when I receive this gift from you, really!! (✿´‿`)

Last time when I received the parcel for the Thayers toner review, I blogged about my unboxing experience as the packaging was real too cute and I thought I should proudly show off the parcel in honour of the your effort...and this time it's no different too :D

You even addressed me as "the gorgeous benevolent princess" hehe...how can I not melt by this small details... (ღ˘⌣˘ღ) ♥

Nourish and Pamper with Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse®

I love multi-purpose products. It means I don't have to add load to my already over-loaded vanity table and cosmetics storage case. It also means I don't have to use so many products in one day; using the same product for the whole body is great ain't it? But putting oil on skin? Yep, it’s taken a while for us to come around to the idea of putting oil directly onto our skin, but now that we have, we don’t know how we ever lived without it.

And so I'm very glad that I got Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse® for myself....have been eyeing on this oil for quite some time so...you know how I feel!!

Why Huile Prodigieuse®?

A unique and cult product, Huile Prodigieuse® is the 1st multi-purpose and multi-usage dry oil in the French pharmacy market. With 98.1% ingredients of natural origin, it works to nourish, repair and soften the face, body and hair. It contains a high concentration of 6 Precious Plant Oils with a dry-oil texture and is free of silicone, mineral oils and preservatives.

Bag of Love December Edition: Rock On!

Alright, I think it's not so mysterious anymore about the Bag of Love December, as the content has been revealed in TheSun some time back...Anyway, just a quick review here, especially for those who may have missed the feature in the newspaper...

First of all, I'm so in love with the bag for December...isn't the velvet red clutch would be an awesome complement to any functions, dinners or events? So classy and elegant!!

Pretty Eyes with Nuxe Nuxuriance® Yeux et Lèvres

Among all parts of my face, the part where 2 or 3 lines have popped out to say 'hi' if you see close enough, is the area below my eyes. Yep, my *beautiful* eyes, 'spoiled' by the wrinkles right below, argh!!!! So then, I was introduced with the Nuxe Nuxuriance® Yeux et Lèvres, the skincare with a global anti-aging action for the eye contour and lips...

Why Nuxuriance® Yeux et Lèvres?

The Nuxuriance® Yeux et Lèvres  is an eye and lip global anti-aging cream that targets the 5 visible signs of aging: it reduces wrinkles, lifts, erases dark circles, reduces puffiness and lightens brown spots. The cream is an anti-wrinkle serum that can be used both on the face and eye contour area. It was clinically proven that the plants used as the ingredients for the serum are effective on the reduction of all the parameters of visible expression lines - number, surface and length. In the blink of an eye, the features are relaxed and the skin is revived and radiant with youth.

Fills in, Smooths and Re-plumps with Nuxe Sérum Merveillance®

I have heard that there are women who are afraid to laugh hardly due to fear of lines at the foreheads... Really? I mean, I would laugh as hardly as I could if the joke is good enough; the lines or wrinkles or whatever you call it would never bother me...

But hey, if you are really bothered by those expression lines, try the Nuxe Sérum Merveillance® !!

Why Sérum Merveillance®?

The Sérum Merveillance®  is an anti-wrinkle serum that can be used both on the face and eye contour area. It was clinically proven that the plants used as the ingredients for the serum are effective on the reduction of all the parameters of visible expression lines - number, surface and length. In the blink of an eye, the features are relaxed and the skin is revived and radiant with youth.

An Afternoon at The Butterfly Project High Tea

Hi pretties...just want to update about a beautiful event I attended recently, The Butterfly Project High Tea =^_^=

source

When I saw the event announcement on The Butterfly Project FB page, I knew I wanted to go to the event so much!! The image of gossiping over a cup of english tea and delicious cupcakes kept playing in my mind over and over again, days before the beautiful afternoon (▰˘◡˘▰) Let me tour you around the happening that day :)

The Idea of The Butterfly Project High Tea
The Butterfly Project's website has been live for a while, so it's the time to officially celebrate the website launch!! This high tea is in conjunction with the celebration ^_^ Visit the website and give some love ♥ ♥ ♥

Smooths away First Wrinkles with Nuxe Crème Nirvanesque®

As we age, the first expression lines would build up too, particularly at the eyes and mouth area, due to the skin is stressed when we smile widely. Nah....we can't stop smiling just because of these lines right? What fun would it be if we 'maintain our cool' when meeting a new someone, seeing a something sweet or hearing a something funny?

I think that's why Nuxe Crème Nirvanesque® is created, for women to maintain their youth without forgoing the fun of smiling everyday :)

Why Crème Nirvanesque®?

The Crème Nirvanesque®  is a cream for first wrinkles that smooths away fine lines and first expression lines. It is formulated based on the innovative concept of "Floral Neuro-cosmetics", which is the use of active natural properties of flowers to hinder the transmission of neurotransmitters responsible for skin stress sensation, tensions and first expression lines.

Nivea New Store and Skin Conditioner

Just last week, when I was roaming at 1Utama, I saw a new pop-up store nearby Aveda store, which was still construction in progress. And today, when I went to 1Utama again, the store has already opened for patrons!! It is the new Nivea pop-up store, and I got to say, the store is interesting!!

Why interesting? Because it has a built-in shower glass, with real water from the shower rose!! And there are basins complete with mirror, and also small little tiles in various blue shade....you'd feel like as if you were in a bathroom!!! >v<

Be Youthful and Radiant with Nuxe Nuxellence® Jeunesse

You know what? I have been working for more than 8 hours, at days up to 12 hours these few months, that my body feel drained out by the time the weekend came...weekends were therefore usually spent on something that can pamper myself e.g. lazying at the cosy sofa bed, shopping therapy, movie marathon or occasionally facial and body massage at beauty salons...oh yes, I need those simple activities to recharge myself....and to my delight, Nuxe now has the magical potion just for re-charging our skin cells; meet Nuxe Nuxellence® Jeunesse !! :D

Why Nuxellence® Jeunesse?

Our cells de-charge themselves, day after day. Just imagine how our mobile device battery works :) Mitochondria, which can be found at the heart of the cells,  act as mini power plants, providing our cells with the energy they need to function properly. More vulnerable than cellular DNA, mitochondrial DNA is less well protected and becomes easily damaged or weakened over time, thus making the energy production is disrupted. That's where Nuxellence® Jeunesse comes to the rescue \(≧∀≦)ﾉ 

Heartening Small Gifts in the Christmas Season

I think it's not that hard to make me happy lol...gifts, even a small one, or even just a little note, can make me feel 'warm' and happy for the rest of the day ^_^ So in this week alone, when I got some small gifts from 3 different beauty brands, I thought I'm the happiest girl for the week, hehe...

Remember the bounce back card from Bag of Love November edition? 

So, few days ago after work I went to Subang Parade thinking to redeem the gift...and this is what I got...

Do your part for Typhoon Haiyan victims at Natta Cosme

While we were having fun time watching movies at cinemas or shopping at malls on 8th November 2013, our neighbours at Philippines weren't that fortunate. A very strong typhoon recorded with a maximum wind speed at 315km/h had blasted Philippines. The disaster washed away thousands of valuable lives, half-a-million of the Filipinos’ homes and affected more than ten million of Filipinos.

Victims blessed to survive are currently living with untold sufferings. They have no shelter, and have to bear the hotness in the day and coldness at night. They have no enough food and water supply, and have to suffer from starvation and dehydration most of the time.

The Malaysian Women's Weekly and Lisa - Awesome Gift with Purchase

Christmas is just around the corner! Everyone is busy shopping for gifting, and there’s a lot promotions, discounts, gift with purchase everywhere. And some local magazines enliven the gifting spirit too with some awesome GWP!!

Last week, I got to know from FB that The Malaysian Women's Weekly (MWW) for the month December comes with body butter from The Body Shop….I was like…WOW!!! I must get this mag!! The last GWP (that I got) from MWW was in April (Neutrogena Ageless skincare set), and then I missed the October edition (or is it November?) (some hand cream)….so I must not miss the December edition this time :D

So I went to the newsstand at Pavilion, after the pampering treat at Aupres Parkson Pavilion. To my dismay however, the magazine was left…well, just the magazine. Without the body butter. Without the extra booklets that supposed to come with MWW December. Ouch…so I left and didn’t grab a copy.

Hours later, I went to the MPH at AEON Maluri with Dad and Mom. To my delight, the MWW copies were still available!! Left four or five copies only, lucky me!! I heard that MWW Dec was selling really fast everywhere. So I grabbed one copy and made my way to the cashier counter, when another magazine caught my eyes. It was Lisa, a very affordable beauty Bahasa Melayu magazine (RM3.90 only!!). There’s a Etude House trial kit and Sunsilk sample enclosed together. Given the price at only RM3.90 per copy, it’s an awesome deal too, isn’t it? And it was the last copy, real lucky me!!


The Malaysian Women's Weekly December 2013 - RM6 per copy

So, what is so awesome with the MWW December?

The most awesome is definitely the body butter!! That's the main reason I bought MWW December hehe....there are 2 variants offered; olive and shea. The one I got is olive body butter, which is one of the best seller. The body butter is of 50ml worth RM25. (￣ー￣)

Bag of Love November Edition: Go, Girl, Go!

I know I know…you’ve probably read or seen a lot on the Bag of Love November edition; it’s all over the Facebook, Instagram and blogs since the 3rd week of November...Initially I planned to do the review around that time too but heck, I was too tied up with projects and then fall sick for good few days (T.T) 

Anyway…here I am, to share with you my review on the much sought-after edition of Bag of Love. I made quarterly subscription again, but this time it was due to the bag design lol...I just don’t care about the content anymore when I saw the bag design for November and December lol…but I am not worried because Bag of Love has by far offered quite good products, albeit sometimes I feel ‘blah’ when I already have the products got from somewhere else, or things like perfume (but that is because I am not really into perfume! Different people different taste, hehe…)

Ok, back to the Bag of Love November edition…the bag was selling like hot cakes fresh from the oven. Right after Mi Mi posted the bag design, I think more than 50% was immediately grabbed. Some even subscribed more than two or three!! I was lucky as I subscribed just hours before it was sold out…So, what made this bag so special that everyone wants to have it??

Dang dang dang!!!! Yup, unlike the usual Bag of Love design, this bag is a denim tote bag from Levi’s!!! When I saw the bag design, I can already imagine bringing this bag for my usual weekend outing. The bag is made from soft denim material, with red and white checkered lining inside (which is kind of mismatch haha). There’s a button clasp which is good rather than having nothing to secure at all. 

Modbox November Edition - The Most Affordable Beauty Box in Malaysia!!!!

Ok, probably you have read so many times of this...I'm sorry if I keep repeating myself, yet I want to again say I was so damn busy every day, and was too tired by the time I came home after work, that I 'abandoned' this blog....again...for weeks....haih, 24-hour is really too short; there are so many things I want to do yet there is so little time....I know many that work on their blogs at midnight but I couldn't afford that due to health reason...

Now when I typed the word 'afford', it came across to me that, Modbox is probably the most affordable beauty box in Malaysia...haha, wanna know why? Do read on then  ｡^‿^｡

Yup yup...today I want to introduce my very first Modbox, of the November edition....remember my last post? I won this from Lina's giveaway (=^ω^)y＝

Opening the box...Look!! There's a personal message from Lina to me, hehe....there's also greetings and product description flip card from the Modbox Crew :)

Christmas Pampering Treats by Aupres

Just before entering December, the month of giving and loving (Christmas month mah!!), I spent the lovely morning with Aupres (ღ˘⌣˘ღ) I have heard a lot about Aupres (French for "next to you, close to you") being one of the favourite brands in China, so this morning was a great opportunity for me to discover more about Aupres.

When I reached Aupres counter at Parkson Pavilion, I saw that the beauty advisor was serving another customer. So I went to walk around for half an hour, came back, and the customer was still there =.=" The customer was there for the pampering treats too, so it means she has cut queue eh...anyway, 10 minutes later finally it was my turn, although my session was supposed to start 40 minutes ago...ouch wasting my time!!

Self-empowerment with Dove Empowerment Workshop - the best event I have attended so far

I never knew that Dove is always committed to inspiring all women and girls to reach their full potential. Yes, Dove, the body care and hair care brand that is familiar in pharmacies and departmental stores. Dove supports partnerships with after-school programs, self-esteem building events and educational resources. Dove also supports a partnership with Alliance for Women in Media. Around the world, Dove has organised a number of Self-Esteem Project inviting all women to create a world where beauty is a source of confidence, not anxiety. There were also workshops designed for girls, the Dove Self-Esteem Workshop for girls, to empower girls and promote new ways of thinking about beauty, body image and self-esteem with positive self-esteem building discussions and activities. Do you know that, each time you buy Dove, you help Dove and their charitable partners to provide inspiring self-esteem programming for girls?

Back here in Malaysia, Dove has set up the Dove Empowerment Fund, where via this fund and collaborations with various women organizations, Dove helps under-privileged women towards a better and more meaningful life. Recently, Dove has also organised the Dove Empowerment Workshop, where 100 selected women were brought to a series of self-esteem and empowerment exercises. And I was selected as among the 100 lucky women :)

Actually, this workshop invitation came to me by chance. I was merely sharing my concern on my hair fall problem via this Dove FB App. I have never expected that I would be chosen, but now I was so glad that I was and has attended the workshop, because it's the best event ever that I have attended thus far!! This workshop has really taught me a lot of life lessons!!

The workshop was held on 9 November 2013, at Impiana KLCC Hotel & Spa. As each participant was allowed to bring along a friend, I invited my dear Sis along...

Delight-able Clarins Double Serum Event at Parkson Pavilion

Clarins has always been a brand that I'm interested in yet I have not bought any of its product yet...I missed the Clarins "Total Luminescent" Beauty Gathering some time in March because of Shakura....so I must not miss this Clarins "Double Serum" event woit!!!! Lucky me for seeing the event announcement on Clarins FB  :D

Date : 2nd November 2013 (Saturday)

Time : 10.30am to 1.00pm

Venue : Clarins at Parkson Pavillion

So the event were to start at 10.30am. I went with hb, and we reached Pavilion at about 9.15am. Why so early you might think. Because there would be door gift for the first 50 pax in line ^_^ However we realized there was no point to reach so early as the entrance doors were monitored closely by the security guards...everyone who walked in before the Pavilion official opening hour at 10.00am was chased out, including us. So we had our quick breakfast at a coffee shop, walked to the main entrance, and patiently waited until 10.00am. Boy, there were already so many people including tourists waiting outside!!

Once the main entrance door opened, I could see a few aunties who walked pretty fast towards the Parkson direction...whoops!! They could be here for the Clarins event too!! So we walked faster too and once we reached the Clarins Skin Spa at Parkson...oh no!!! There was already a long queue!! We quickly join the queue, although we were not sure if we were still within the first 50 pax. The first thing that we wondered was, how did they come in? Weren't the doors monitored by the security guards? There must be a secret entrance lol...

Bag of Love October Edition: Say Boo!

Hi beauties!!!

If you have been following my blog frequently you'd know that I'm a fan of Bag of Love ^_^ Bag of Love is one of the booming beauty box subscription in Malaysia, but instead of a box, it comes in a bag...and the bag design varies every month!! I got to admit that sometimes I look forward to the bag design rather than the contents :P You can read more about previous Bag of Love in my blog (but I missed the debut bag March and June T.T)

I had my first encounter with Bag of Love in late April this year....I was selected as one of the 30 bloggers to attend the Unzipping Bag of Love Tea Party at Delectable Treats by Su...Thanks to The Butterfly Project, I got the chance to have my first hand on Bag of Love April edition...The event has actually became my turning point to venture into the blogosphere more meaningfully, although I'm busy with my work schedule (Talking about busy...you would have no idea how busy I am almost every single day!!!! That explains why I don't update this blog as frequent as I would have wanted to x_x )

Ok...enough of my rambles :P In this post, I actually wanted to introduce to you the Bag of Love Halloween edition; the Bag of Lice!!!!

I think it's kinda cool of Bag of Love to be a bit funny to name its Halloween edition as Bag of Lice...I mean, every other beauty box want to be as glamorous or as pretty as possible, but only Bag of Love able to be witty in view of the Halloween...and it works!! As far as I know, everyone loves it!!! And I love the idea!! Thanks to The Butterfly Project, again I was given the opportunity to review the Bag of Love, in their Blogging 101 Chapter 3....and of course, thanks to Bag of Love as the sponsor as well  (≧◡≦)

So, are you ready to dig into the mysterious Bag of Lice???? ~wooo~

Omg...are the lice climbing out????!!! Eww... ~(>_<~)

My Perfect Wedding Photo Book

What does picture means to you? To me, it immortalizes the happy moment that I have and allows me to enjoy the moment again every time I look at the picture...and what does picture book means then? It crafts a story of the happy moments that I experienced that I was brought back to the time to cherish the memories again...

Few weeks back, my photo book from Pixajoy finally arrived. It is a photo book that tells the story of my wedding day....ok, my wedding was actually slightly more than a year ago but I was tooooooooooooo busy that now only I have the time to do it ~.~  (actually it's because the voucher was expiring soon :p)

My Beauty Diary 我的美麗日記 New Upgraded "COSPHINGO™" Product Launch and Press Conference

Every girl has a beauty diary in their heart to record all the beautiful memories. Regardless of tender soft or radiant white skin, there's an answer inside the diary.

My Beauty Diary was my first ever mask. It was a birthday gift from my Sis few years back, and thanks to the mask, my skin didn't got peeled due to the fierce sun ray when I came back from a survivor camp ^^. Thus when I was invited to the launch of the My Beauty Diary New Upgraded 'COSPHINGO™' Face Mask, I was more than happy to go!! (Glad they postponed the event to a weekend ^.^)

The Fresh Scent of the Rosy Thayers Toner

Over 120 years ago, Rose Thayer developed an all-natural recipe for extra-soft, youthful-looking skin. As she aged, many would comment on how she always looked 10 years younger than she was (Wow!!! I want people to say I'm 10 years 15 years younger too!!! >v<) Now, for the first time, her secret formula of Rose Petal water blended with Witch Hazel extract, Certified Organic Aloe Vera and Vitamin E, is all packed in this THAYERS® Rose Petal Witch Hazel with Aloe Vera Toner  (ﾉ≧∀≦)ﾉ

Thanks to The Butterfly Project for selecting me to be part of this awesome collaboration with Natta Cosme in their Blogging 101 Chapter 1 ^_^ Oh, have you read about my unboxing experience of the parcel from Natta Cosme? You should, because which girl would not be overjoyed  when picking up lovely items below, one after another, from a sexy, lacy box?  (◡‿◡✿)

An Afternoon at the Zurich TrueLady Tea Party

Early last week, I received a call from an unknown number and the lady on the phone spoke super soft that I could barely hear what she said. I remember I asked her to repeat few times lol, and finally I got it that I was selected as the lucky 200 to be part of the Zurich TrueLady Tea Party ｡^‿^｡

Zurich TrueLady Tea Party is a tea party to pamper ladies with grooming, fun and learning. All these to help ladies to appreciate how beautiful it is to be a lady. I got to know this event from a social media site I think...I just registered my details, shared with Sis on the event, then have almost forgotten about it lol...the phone call was a day brightener though....sweeter is, Sis was also selected, so we went together, yeah!!! \(^.^)/

Unboxing Natta Cosme Mini Beauty Box!!

It always made my day when I saw my name as the lucky one of some giveaways or contests or events...well, who doesn't? And so, I was literally jump up and down when I was selected as the chosen ones to be on board for the Natta Cosme X The Butterfly Project review program on the Thayers Toner ヾ(^^ゞ)

Patiently waiting for my parcel to arrive, I was only eager to try on the acclaimed toner and then share my thought...It was never in my plan to blog about the unboxing experience (like what I did with Bag of Love)...then the Nationwide Express parcel finally arrived and when I saw the box with all the laces, I KNEW I HAVE TO BLOG ABOUT IT because it's way TOOOOOOOOOO CUTE and SWEET of the Natta Cosme team that I feel like I'm receiving my Christmas present early!!! (≧◡≦)

Un-packing Beauty Pack of Nuxe and Lierac

Sometime in September, I was invited by Fusion Cosmetics to a Nuxe event; An Anti-Aging Affair, at SaSa Bangsar Shopping Centre. As much as I would like to attend the event, I couldn't because I do not have the luxury of attending events during working hour as I'm working full time. So with a very heavy-heart, I rejected the invitation. The Brand Manager who extended the invitation told me it's ok and not to worry.

And then I had let go of the event. But to my surprise, days later after the event, the Brand Manager emailed me again, and said she would be sending me the products which were presented during the event. Needless to say, my first thought was, Wow....this Brand Manager is so kind!! Although I didn't attend the event, I would be getting the products too just because I was in the invitation list at the first place!!

Fighting Blemishes with Yves Rocher Pure System Discovery Program

It is frustrating when your skin has acne not on the whole face, but just here and there...when a pimple is about to disappear, another pimple will come out to say 'Hi', swt.... (-.-!) In my attempt to fight against this 'here and there' acne, I therefore picked up the Discovery Program kit of the Yves Rocher Pure System at the recent Yves Rocher Beauty Pampering Session...  

The Yves Rocher Pure System Discovery Program has a mantra; Ultra-effectiveness against pimples, Ultra-respect for skin. The two main ingredients in the Pure System line to guarantee effectiveness against pimples plus optimal tolerance are; 

Aloe Vera Pulp Extract

An active botanical substance known for its reparative properties and proven dermo-corrective effectiveness (in vitro test)

Anti-bacteria Salicylic Acid

One of the most powerful restorers of skin and is effective on pimple breakouts and residual marks.

Consists of three travel-sized products in the kit, I started my journey with the Yves Rocher Pure System Discovery Program pleasantly since one week ago (^_^)

Indulge in Beauty Pampering Session with Yves Rocher

A little pampering a day makes a girl feels happy for whole day...True? Indeed....after months of busy (and crazy) schedule I just want to de-stress and recharge my battery with a little pampering. Pampering myself and enjoying some "me time" are absolutely essential for my mental health and happiness. (‾⌣‾)

Image credit: Yves Rocher Malaysia FB Page

So the Yves Rocher Pamper Session came just at the perfect time!! When I saw that Yves Rocher was having this Beauty Indulgence Package at Parkson Pavilion, I thought it was a good opportunity for me to relax and unwind myself  :D  Even much better, I actually won the package from its FB contest so I don't have to pay anything to enjoy the pampering treat with my Sis  ヾ(^▽^)/

Boost Moisture with Bio-essence Tri-Action Aqua Boost Active Nourishing Emulsion

It's not hard to easily fall in love with this emulsion toner. I am not really a user of Bio-essence skincare products, but this emulsion had increased my rating to Bio-essence, especially the Tri-Action Aqua Boost system. Ah erm... maybe it's not appropriate for me to say that since I've used only the emulsion and not other products in the series but anyway, my point is, the emulsion has increase my curiosity on Bio-essence, so...that is good enough right? (",)

I got this Bio-essence Tri-Action Aqua Boost Active Nourishing Emulsion from the Bio-essence Miracle Bio Water 200 People Mega Challenge I participated in last March. The goodie bag for the participants was pretty generous I would say...Since the event was in March so yes, some of you may have guessed it right; I have finished using this emulsion for quite some time ago but now only I have the time to post the review here :p
