Chilling after Work + Mother's Day Gift

Mother's Day is just around the corner!! What have you prepared to celebrate your Mom? If you have no idea yet, maybe you can consider to present her a gift of pampering >v<

Yesterday after work, suddenly I have this urge to go window shopping...just to chill and relax, hehe...it's quite fun and relieve your work stress you know; and you should go do it (window shopping after work) occasionally, maybe once a month ;-)

So I went to 1Utama, coz it's familiar, vibrant, and the most convenient for me (it's in the same direction to my home)...and guess what I discover....??

1Utama is having the beauty with offers that are simple irresistible!! The beauty fair "Doll Up" was held in conjunction of the coming Mother's Day, and will be running from 5 to 11 May 2014. There are many participating brands such as Melvita, Mary Chia, Skinfood, Shizens, Laneige, Crabtree & Evelyn etc, all competing with irresistible offers!!! Heaven for beauty addict!!

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. 

Extra Gifts that come with my Bag of Love July Edition

When I received my parcel for the Bag of Love July edition, the package was...not light...it was quite heavy and full of products inside!!! 

While most subscribers were fed with the lovely pinky bag and two sets of trial kit, some, including me, were fed with extra beautiful items inside our parcels...

Are you curious yet what were the extra in my parcel?  ヽ(^‥^=ゞ)

If you have read about my review on Bag of Love May Edition, you'd know that I'm totally in love with the Crabtree & Evelyn Somerset Meadow Hand Therapy...so when Mi Mi put on the mini contest for this lovely hand cream, I just put in my simple and nice feedback for the product...

* click on image for sharper view *

And who would have expected that this simple feedback will win me the jumbo size of the Crabtree & Evelyn Somerset Meadow Hand Therapy  (ﾉ≧∀≦)ﾉ It's a whopping 100g for me to enjoy!!!  (◡‿◡✿)

Bag of Love May Edition: Best of Beauty

Hey Moonies!! (can I call my readers 'Moonies'? lol)

Got my Bag of Love May one week back so now it's unzipping the bag time ヽ(^o^)丿

The theme for Bag of Love May edition is Best of Beauty, and there are well-known brands that are loved across the globe in the bag.

Thanks to Mi Mi's generosity for sending us bloggers in the Unzipping Tea Party this month's edition as well... I am very happy with the Bag of Love April edition, so will the May edition be on par too? (^_^)

Let's talk about the bag itself first....I love the May bag!! It's a classy half-moon shaped beige-color faux-leather bag...The "Bag of Love" wording is in golden font and the zip pull-tab is gold-coated too...Like!! 

This is how the products sit when I first opened the bag.... Hello World!! As I unzipped the bag, I can smell the soft bath scent... ~(^^~)

The Lavender Scent at Crabtree & Evelyn

Who will not fall in love with a wide field of lavender? Lavender, the common name of Lavandula, are cultivated extensively for its various benefits e.g. therapy oil, medication, culinary herbs or as landscape beautification.

Personally, I am not really fond of lavender on its own as one stalk...but I'm crazy about lavender field!!!

I have always wanted to go Hokkaido to surround myself with the scent of lavender and the color of the light purple everywhere. Imagine, standing in the middle of lavender field with sunrise as the background...or, picnic with my loved one in the middle of the lavender farm...it feels so serene, so calm, feels like a start of a new brighter day lol....but my dream has yet to come true...heck, I promise I would be there one day, hehe...
