Indeed Laboratories Hydraluron Moisture Booster has been raved about so much that I was really looking forward to trying it out. We have all heard what Hyaluronic Acid can do for our skin which happens to be the main ingredient of Hydraluron.

'The perfume bottle that will never look undressed' - The bottle of the new Estée Lauder Modern Muse fragrance has this chic bow perfectly placed at the top of the bottle that you never have to remove to spray on the fragrance. Hence it will always look perfectly dressed and ready to go! It just so happens this new fragrance comes in time for the Raya (Eid) Celebrations. You guys know what I'm trying to say right.



In anticipation of the impending Hari Raya period, the Royal Selangor Group hosted an exclusive Ramadhan event help at the Royal Selangor boutique at Pavilion Kuala Lumpur. The highlight of the event featured a fashion show with models dressed in Alia Bastamam's 2014 Raya Collection adorned with jewellery from Comyns, Selberan and Royal Selangor.
Definitely something you wouldn't usually expect to wear for Raya (Eid) but according to Bernard Chandran the inspiration for the collection showcased for Petang Raya 2014 - Wanita Berkuasa was from his clients who wanted to wear traditional outfits and yet look current. He brings traditional to the street but in a chic way with a mix of textures, fabrics and colour.


You know how serums usually target a particular concern or a combination of a few related ones? Well I was very curious when I heard about the New Clinique Smart Custom-Repair Serum. It's like an all-in-one serum that is able to provide a solution for a list skin concerns. Is it possible? Well after trying out the Clinique Smart Custom-Repair Serum for 4 weeks, I can honestly answer yes.


It's awesome when brands gives back! Gucci Parfums has announced a minimum $1 Million commitment through consumer donation program supporting Education, Health and Justice for girls and women - Chime For Change Campaign 2014.

I was looking forward to the Jonathan Liang show at Kuala Lumpur Fashion Week 2014 and it didn't disappoint. There was an iridescent jacket this year that I loved, well, it's shiny hence for me it was love. I was a huge fan of the green iridescent jacket shorts combo last year, show stopper that one was. Jonathan Liang stayed true to his signature crisp fabrics and smart silhouettes. The pieces that stole the show however were whites and neutrals iridescent pieces. The collection overall was filled with flawless layering, beautiful mix of textures and fabrics which created a nice contrast.


This post includes photos from the third to fifth days of Kuala Lumpur Fashion Week 2014. For Part 1 click here. Day 3 saw some serious cat eye liner for the Islamic Fashion Festival. The head turning I want to line my eyes that way too kind. I suppose I could but stares would be inevitable. The Hafflins and Innai Red shows saw classic looks, with Hafflins going for bold red lip with clean lined eyes and Innai Red opted for a very fresh minimal look. Rizaman Ruzaini and Jonathan Liang also didn't stray too much from a minimalist look. While Rizman Ruzaini's look was almost nude, Jonathan Liang's appeared more luminous.
I had an exciting fashion week this year! It was different from previous years. This year not only did I get to have a sneak preview on some of the looks a few months before (post here), I also got to go back stage with Bobbi Brown to be a part of the chaos and have a closer look at the makeup looks that the Bobbi Brown Make Up Artists came up with for the designers. I mean I expected there to be minimal time to change makeups in between shows but to be there and see them do it under such pressure is insane. Bobbi Brown also flew in five of their international make up artists for this year's Kuala Lumpur Fashion Week 2014, Felix Nguyen from Bobbi Brown Asia Pacific, Alvin Chou and Ice Wu from Taiwan, Siwa and Tila from Thailand, who also created some of the looks that walked the runway.

The Body Shop Malaysia has been teasing its fans on facebook for weeks. As of yesterday evening it's finally official, Lisa Surihani is The Body Shop Malaysia's first Brand Ambassador. Another milestone for The Body Shop and also a great way to celebrate their 30th Anniversary. After listening to her talk and meeting her in person, I understand why she's called "Malaysia's Sweetheart", she really is one. 



I had such fun shooting a video with Tongue in Chic recently and the video is finally up on tic TV. I reviewed the latest L'Oreal Paris Mat Magique All-In-One Powder. It's a matte powder foundation that is suppose to leave you shine-free for up to 12 hours. The main ingredient is Perlite, which is a volcanic rock-based ingredient that has oil control properties. 
Bobbi Brown does pastels this Summer! Some beautiful shades in the Surf & Sand Summer 2014 Collection, inspired by Bobbi's favourite holiday destination. Kate Upton also replaces Katie Holmes as the face of Bobbi Brown starting with the Surf & Sand Collection ads. The Surf & Sand Collection consists of two eye shadow palettes, two blushes, four sheer lip colours, Long Wear eye liner, cream shadow and a beach roll on scent.

I don't think I need to tell you beauty junkies that Bourjois is already in Malaysia. Or should I say back in Malaysia. Yes they were here many many years ago, left and now they're back! And I am excited about it. I've been a fan of those little round pots for a while now and I'm looking forward to try out their latest products. It's also seems timely as Bourjois celebrates their 150th Anniversary this year. If you guys haven't managed to pop by the Bourjois stand alone store in Sunway Pyramid because it's too far (ahemm.. that's me lol!) well Bourjois will be available at Watson outlets starting 7th July! Rejoice.

Here's a new cleanser from Kiehl's to complement its much loved Calendula Herbal Extract Alcohol Free Toner. Unfortunately the Calendula Deep Cleansing Foaming Face Wash doesn't have the hand-picked Marigold flower petals floating in it. I rather fancy having it floating about, it adds to the effect. However, it still comes in the amber coloured bottle that's synonymous with the toner.


When you hear SK-II the next thing that usually follows is Miracle Water ie Facial Treatment Essence. I have a bottle sitting on my dressing table waiting for it to work miracles, soon I promise. Until I try it, I'll tell you guys this, the SK-II Stem Power Essence is amazing!


A lot of you may already know that The Body Shop Malaysia turns 30 this year. They have brought you their Top 30 Favourites earlier in the year and have been busy with the Be More Than Beautiful Campaign. Of course over the years they have championed many causes and spearheaded campaigns to create awareness on various issues. The most amazing part about it all is the support that they have managed to garner especially from loyal users and fans.

So World Oceans Day 2014 was yesterday but that doesn't mean we ignore the oceans for the rest of the year. It's a life long effort, for generations after us to save the oceans from what we have done to it in a short period of time.
