Happy Autumn, my dear readers! A new season is before us and it's time to drag out our knit sweaters & for Starbucks to stock up their pumpkin spice mixes. But before we get too head of ourselves, let's take a few steps back from fall aesthetics of crisp, bright orange leaves, and talk moisture!
Featuring my love affair for the past two years: Indeed Lab's Hydraluron Moisture Booster.
Imagine a chaste & volatile summer love found on the hot sands of a a Mediterranean beach... now factor out the love and swap in a tube of condensed hyaluronic acid... And change the whole set up to dry autumn-winter. You might feel that that's not exactly the same thing but trust me... it feels the same.
It is with great pleasure that I bring you along with me to Burt's Bees very first Bloggers Tea Party! I was offered this fantastic chance thanks to Michelle from CoquettishMish and Irene from Burt's Bees. When I saw the invitation in my inbox, me, being the skincare buff & eager supporter for all things natural I was, how could I possibly have refused?
The Tea Party centers around the newly Malaysia-launched Intense Hydration range. With the dryness-resilient plant, Clary Sage, taking center-stage, paired with an ensemble of natural and nutrient-rich supporting actors such as Bitter Orange peel extract and butters of the Mafura, Cupuacu, Kokum & Tucuma variant, this range promises to moisturise and eradicate your skin of pesky fine lines & wrinkles all at once!
Outside Malaysia, the US is no stranger to Burt's Bees fantastic range of moisturising products, this included. A much-loved addition to Birchbox Finds, the Intense Hydration day cream was well-received for its scent and texture but does it deliver in terms of functionality? Read on to find out! Spoiler alert: It does.
You might have seen the brand out-and-about at The Mines, KL Festival or at their various roadshows across Malaysia. Now, in collaboration with Watsons, Victoria Jackson promo-booths have appeared in a number of Watsons branches. What does that mean for us? Limited time discounts and an exclusive RM500 membership with unlimited makeovers (and more), now available to you with any purchase.
So my supposedly uneventful Pink Day at Pavilion, KL, wasn't so uneventful after all. Ever since this Limited Edition range was released in Korea months - perhaps almost a year - ago, I didn't want to think of it too much and tried to avoid the hype... because of the devastation that it wouldn't be available in Malaysia or outside of Korea was just too much for me.
It is with great happiness that I announce that I've been nominated for the Liebster Award by the lovely Selin from Persian Princess! Can I just take this moment to thank her from the bottom of my heart for giving me this lovely opportunity.
It's that time of the year again, where university students at the end of their summer vacations ready themselves for the trip back to campus - or more excitingly, the trip to a whole new campus! For those whose educational destination is a four-season country, it can be quite daunting to imagine how much we have to prepare, especially if one has never experienced winter before!
From personal experience, not only did I have to expand my wardrobe to accommodate a variety of knits and UNIQLO Heattech (they're a lifesaver can I just say), but another thing I had to expand was my skincare drawer! Now I meant that proverbially of course, I couldn't exactly bring a whole drawer with me to the United Kingdom.
Quite recently, I was offered the opportunity to blog about and photograph HeatbeatPendant's new line of movable pendants. I'd like to call them self-shimmering pendants, though that's not... exactly the official term.
Now a little context: What exactly makes these pendants so special? I've linked you, beautiful reader, a video to illustrate.
This puff is the first item to be reviewed out of the products I received in my Korea Travelpack, click the link if you'd like to see what else I got from my friend in Korea but read on if you'd like to see what this baby can do first!
I decided to open up this package in the wee morning hours of an event I was meant to attend, so please bear with my not-up-to-par photographs. It probably... wasn't one of my best ideas but hopefully I did a decent job despite the time constraints and bad lighting. ^^;
No longer will Mulan's makeup-removal scene in 'Reflection' be an over exaggeration. I was lucky enough to find Bifesta on our shores when I just started to dabble in the art of makeup. Before that, eyeliner and the sort were restricted to anime conventions and proms, the removal of which, was greatly dreaded.
Before we go into details, let me just put into context how awesome this makeup remover is. Calling it Holy Grail would be an understatement.
You know the name, you've seen stores open left-right-centre with tastefully retro decor and brick walls but do you really know Kiehl's? We all know them as the skincare brand that actually lets you try out their products for free without any awkward side-eyeing from their promoters, which is already a huge plus on its own, but their skincare is also all-natural and very easily absorbed by the skin.
They're like the Starbucks of skincare. Customer comes first and all that good stuff.
Call it the "Forever Repurchase" / "Holy Grail" / "the crème de la crème of the mask basket". It doesn't matter which term is used, the literal translation of all that skincare jargon essentially is:
The ritual of meeting up with friends during summer vacation is customary for students who have and are studying overseas. Ah, how does that saying go?
With good friends come good company, and with good company comes good... skincare?
Only if your friend is studying in one of the biggest beauty hubs in the world, that is!
One of the best products from Etude House I've used to date! Does what it says on the proverbial tin and moisturises my skin to soft and supple perfection.
