Review: Beurer Beauty Facial Sauna

Posted on by
Reply

You know, if possible I would love to go for facial every week. I wear makeup everyday to work and I just wish that my skin will be pampered with facial over the weekend. So, I tried to book for an appointment at a skincare centre which I really love, unfortunately, their appointment is always full when ever I called to book. Yes, I know I can make an early arrangement but sometimes work and family hinders me from going to the prearranged appointment.

Las week when I followed my hubby to One Utama, I stumbled upon this Beurer Facial Sauna at the Aeon (formerly known as Jusco). Then, I thought to myself, I have almost all the ingredients at home to do my own facial but the only thing missing is the sauna. So, I got this… My husband’s eyes went up when he looked at the price, hence, I told him I spend more than this when I go for one facial appointment… hahaha…

 

Guess what I got today??? A facial sauna!!! Now, I can do my own facial treatment at home

Anyway, as soon as I got home, I read the instruction manual and started my very own facial spa experience… :) I washed my face and prepared my own exfoliation paste and hydration mask. I poured water into the water reservoir which was tiny (about 50ml) which is enough for a 20 minutes spa. You can use dial 2 for a faster heat up or you can use dial 1 which will steam up within 5 minutes. However, when you bring your face to the steam, make sure the dial is set at 1 because it can be extremely hot at 2.

20 minutes in the facial sauna is more than enough… I used about 15 minutes only and I continued with exfoliation and hydrating mask… I realised my face was squeaky clean after the exfoliation itself… so, I guess the facial sauna does help for thorough face cleanse.

On another note, this facial sauna also can be used as a steam inhaler for those who suffer from sinusitis. The product includes the steam attachment for inhalation for the mouth and nose that also can be used for pleasant aroma therapy as well. I haven’t tried it yet but would definitely post about my experience if I every did.

Review: Blincon Colour Lens

Posted on by

Do you love to have big eyes?? Well, I certainly do. Thanks to current technology, lens are no longer used to correct your vision but it is also used for beauty purpose. Having big eyes certainly does make you to have a beautiful pair of eyes. I remember when I went out lunch with colleagues, a male colleague couldn’t take his eyes off, a girl who was sitting just next to our table. He said, she has beautiful pair of eyes. When I looked at her, I realise she was wearing coloured lens and she did have beautiful eyes.

blincon

I decided to test the theory whether the big lens enhances your beauty. So, I went out and bought Blincon Lens, a product from Korea. Now, ladies… let me remind you something, I know there are lots of lens out there and some are even sold in pasar malam and online, I wouldn’t advice you to buy from these places because you can never know whether it is good for your eyes or not. So, if possible try to get from licensed optic stores.

Back to my review on Blincon lens, this lens are available in various colours such as black, choco, grey, green, violet, orange and etc… I bought pink!!!! Yeah, PINK!!! hahaha… I was just so curious that I had to get the pink one… Check it out… it doesn’t look pink at all when I am wearing it… a friend said I look like vamipire with it… but most of them said it suits me and I do look pretty in it… What do you think???

Guess, what colour is my lens?? I can assure You can never guess it right.... hehehe

Initially, I find it difficult to wear the lens because I have not much experience wearing one…. I was even thinking to look online how to wear one… hahaha… Anywhooooo…. I like this lens better because my vision is not blurred… Quite a while ago, I bought one from a different brand which has larger diameter (16), I couldn’t see clearly and don’t ask whether it was nice coz I couldn’t see myself in the mirror due to blurriness (is that even a word??? hehehe) This lens diameter is 14.5 and I didn’t have a vision problem with this one…by the way, the lens can only be used for a month after you started using it. So, if you are looking for a lens which has colour variety and belongs to the category  of bigger lens… I will definitely suggest this one!!!

My Sewing Project: A Blouse

Posted on by
Reply

Sewed this blouse myself... It is a totally different feeling when you wear something that is DIY. My mom would definitely be proud of me...

Yaaay… A blouse which I took about 3 hours to sew. I couldn’t believe I sewed that but once I finished it, I was really proud of myself and can’t really stop admiring myself on the mirror with that blouse on. Hahaha….

I bought that pants at Uniqlo a while ago but I don’t wear it very often because I can’t match it well with any other blouse which I have. I tried looking for one in stores but it is very difficult to find a blouse which is long enough to cover my butt (hehehe… yeah, I am quite conservative in some ways). So, suddenly at about 945pm, I suppose to come up stairs to start blogging but decided to do something else… I picked one of the fabrics which I bought when Jackal was on sales a couple of months ago. Voila!!! 3 hours later my blouse is done.

It was no easy job sewing actually, I was at the verge of giving up when I wrongly stitched the sleeve wrong side but I picked myself up and fix that immediately. Thank god, I didn’t give up, if not only God knows how long would I have taken to finally finish up that blouse… hehehe…

Whoa!!! You have got to watch this video because it features Acer’s latest Acer Aspire P3 Convertible Ultrabook™. The Ultrabook™, Inspired by Intel has every features which I have imagined about 20 years ago. YES, boys and girls… I still remember back then, the only colour, the computer had was green… at that time, I thought, how nice it would be if the computer is available in colour. Since the computer was big and not portable, I wished that my computer was portable because I wanted to use it where ever I go.

 

Then, when they discovered laptop, I was hoping they are light and have a touch screen because sometimes it is agonising to use non responsive mouse and when it is super heavy to lug it around…Guess what??? the Aspire P3 Convertible Ultrabook is ultraportable!!! Now, you can just bring it in your handbag… I still remember when I was in New York, I had some serious should pain just because I had to bring my 2.5kg laptop where ever i go. I am a paranoid woman when it comes to leaving precious stuff in the hotel :)

MIVVA Beauty Box: May Edition Review – Mother’s Day Gift

Posted on by

#mivva May edition suitable as Mother's Day gift. #mivvamay #mivvabeautybox #beautybox

I hope it is not too late to wish all mother’s, a Happy Mother’s Day. So, what did you give to your mom on Mother’s Day?? MIVVA’s Beauty Box Edition for the month of May is a perfect gift for your beloved mom. It is so nice of MIVVA production team to include the Mother’s Day card in the box, just in case you are caught with work and didn’t have enough time to buy a card :) How nice!!!

 

MIVVAMAYLet me give you an introduction on why I think Beauty Box is very important for a beauty adventurist. You know the feeling when you flip magazines and read some amazing testimonials about certain skincare products, and you ended up buying it but it turned out to be a waste because it isn’t suitable for you. Well, I am one of them, I wonder how much I wasted just doing that. Thanks to beauty box provider such as MIVVA, we get to try so many products before we decide to purchase the products, the best part is the given products last almost 6 months.

mivva2

This month’s MIVVA Beauty Box is simply the best because I love all the products that was provided in the box. There was a small cup that was included in the box as well, unfortunately, I guess due to shipping the glass handle was broken. But all other products are intact though.  Following is the list of products that was provided in the box:

  1. Somang Danahan RGII Premium Ex Deep Wrinkle Line Cream – very suitable for me because once you reach late 20s, you need to start wearing one. 
  2. O’slee Rosehip Hydra- white Cleansing Powder – Definitely will bring this around when I am travelling because it is a travel size
  3. Garden of Eden Jojo E Serum – This is my favourite because Jojo E really helps to reduce your wrinkle line, so applying this at night before sleeping is going to be my daily routine now. 
  4. Nature’s Lab Antioxidant Body Scrub – One of my favourite as well, I simply love the smell of the scrub, some may not like it but just smelling it makes me so calm and sleepy… hehehe.. 
  5. Aupres Aqua Active Sleeping Mask – I have always wanted to try Aupres and thanks to MIVVA, I get to try it first before deciding to buy it. 
  6. Aupres Ultimate White Extra Intensive Spot Serum – Definitely useful to me as well because I have been getting some spots on my face due to my lack of diligence in applying sunscreen before leaving for work. 
  7. Privia Perfect Magic Peeling Gel – Wah… this is a great exfoliator to remove dead, dull skin cells. 
  8. Claire Organics Handmade Soap – The box smelt divine when I opened the MIVVA box, because of the soap. This soap contains my favourite ingredients SHEA BUTTER, essential oils and olive oil :)

A separate review for each product will follow soon… I think this is one of the best beauty box I have received because for the price of RM38, you get so much in it. I am definitely looking forward to extend my subscription with MIVVA.

MIVVA beauty box is available to be purchased for a month, 3 months subscription and 6 months subscription. 

I can’t wait to see what is next month’s MIVVA Beauty Box content is going to be…

Moleskine – Evernote Smart Notebook

Hehehe... finally got the moleskine evernote smartbook... let's start note taking...

Are you a great fan of Evernote?? As for me, I was just recently started to realise the importance of Evernote in our daily life. I mean I have used Evernote before but I wasn’t an avid user because I failed to see how it can be used. When WinnieKepala mentioned in the Bella NTV7 interview, how much Evernote has helped her, it made me wonder, maybe I haven’t explored enough.

Hence, I started to explore the Evernote seriously, and true enough,

evernote

I love it as it helps me a lot to be organised. Now, I don’t need some stacked up files and waste hours or minutes looking for a particular paper in my file.

moleskin_07

The Evernote Smart Notebook is even more helpful because I can secure my notes in the Evernote database forever. The Smart STickers provided with the Smart Notebook is used to tag and organise easily without any hassle. So, now, I can have a look at my notes anywhere I want. All I got to do is take a snapshot using the evernote application and it will auto upload the shot according to the stickers that I use.

This feature is very useful to me because I attend loads of meeting and when I want to check back on something, I have to flip and flip and flip the pages until I find what I was looking for. However, with the Evernote Smart Notebook, all I got to do is type the word I am looking for in the book and search. Need to know more?? Just check out the video below.

The smart stickers only work with Apple IOS and not available in Android at the moment. You can find the Moleskine Evernote Smart Notebook in Cziplee at RM98 for Large and RM78 for Pocket

It is the second time I am voting- PRU13 Malaysia

Posted on by
Reply

Mine look more like inai...some got only 1 line but the lady practically coloured the whole tip of my finger

5th May 2013 was the Voting Day in Malaysia. This was my second time voting, 5 years ago I couldn’t vote because I was in New York at the time of election. I still remember how shock I was when I heard a few top ministers such as Dato’ Sri Samy Vellu and Dato’ Seri Sharizal Jalil lost the election in 2008. Being in overseas, I felt it must be a great deal back in Malaysia… I don’t know how the situation was at that time…

This year, election time was really hot… the competition was great and though I knew BN will win but I knew it will be a tough fight… After the elction, Too many issues arised and racial card was also drawn out… Please, we are 1Malaysia, do not bring racial issues into the picture.

Due to the availability of technology such as Facebook, Twitter, Youtube and Instagram, news spread quickly and sometimes, the things that we see, hear or listen is not necessarily the truth because we may have understood it in a different perspective… Now, tension is still there among citizen of Malaysia. As for me, I don’t really care which party wins because I voted based on the individual and what he/she can do to my state/district … However, I hope the successful candidates who won  in their respective states and districts to GIVE BACK to the people who trusted them and voted for them.

A package arrived!!!

Thanks #lorealmalaysia for the products

Oooooo… I was ecstatic to receive a package from L’Oreal. I almost did not know that this package was sent to me. GdEx came to my house to deliver it to my house. But since I was not at home, they left a note. God only knows where did they stuck the slip. When I came home, the next day, I saw there was a wet note with GdEx logo on it outside on pave way of my porch. I picked it up and noticed it was a package attempted to deliver to my house. I can hardly read the consignment number and also the address of their pick up address. After doing some googling, finally managed to find their address and went there. The guy who was there doesn’t know what the consignment number was as the slip which was supposedly attached to the note was not there. I told them, that was the only thing I got. I had to read the consignment number for them (I have super powerful eyes, somehow I manage to read the number after looking and staring it for a long time), then I got the package from them…

Whoa!!! When I opened the package.. Voila… more products to be reviewed!!!!

#MIVVA Review: Timeless Truth Charcoal Deep Whitening Mask

Posted on by

Not everyone has the luxury of time or $$$ to do facial spa. While I do love to go for a facial spa but sometimes I just don’t have the time and I prefer to do my own facial. If you are in the same league, you might want to check out, Timeless Truth Charcoal Deep Whitening Mask

MIVVA-MASK-REVIEW-TT

In today’s weather condition, my clear skin has become a victim to freckles (I am also to be blamed for forgetting sunscreen lotion). I am glad that the Timeless Truth Charcoal Deep Whitening Mask prevents dark pigment, reduce freckles and moisturises as well. After applying the mask on my face for about 15 minutes, I felt my skin hydrated and believe it or not, it does glow a bit (sorry, couldn’t upload a picture cause I went straight to sleep after wearing it).

Some of the ingredients in the mask which is beneficial to our skin are as following glycerin, hyaluronic acid, Olive oil and Vitamin E Acetate. 

If you look at the picture, the black colour of the mask comes from bamboo charcoal extract from very high temperature (around 800 degree C) and this particular bamboo charcoal powder has a proven function for cleansing and absorbing dirt off. No wonder, skin looked fairer ( I thought it was me being sleepy and my eyes was doing tricks on me..hehehe). Overall, it was a good experience and I definitely don’t mind to buy it again. If you are interested, do check out Timeless Truth. They also have anti aging, anti wrinkle, biocellulose and moisturising masks.

10 reasons why you should own Galaxy Note 2

Posted on by
Reply

Everywhere I go I see people having Samsung Galaxy Note 2. As a proud of owner of Note 2 and a big fan of Samsung products, I have my own reasons why I bought the Note 2 even though I owned the First Galaxy Note.

note2pink_sc

I am not going to bore you with a long winded reasons and I am pretty sure you want me to get straight to the point. So, allow me to list down the reasons why you must own the Note 2.

  1. AMOLED screen – They are super clear. The videos are awesome and when I watched movie, it doesn’t look pixelated at all. I just simply love to watch my youtube videos on my Note 2!!!!
  2. Super Beam – Forget about bluetooth to transfer your files. I transferred the Step Up 4 movie within 2 minutes using this Super Beam. Awesome right!!!
  3. S planner (Calendar) – This is the feature I love the most. When I own the first Note, I thought that it would be nice if I can just draw on the calendar and make it more colourful. I guess they heard my request and they did it (Unfortunately, it will only work when it is on portrait mode)
  4. Phone – When you are in a contact’s screen, you can just simply place the phone to your ear, and the phone automatically calls the person. It saves me time when I am in hurry :)
  5. Google Now – This is an awesome feature. In the morning, my phone will inform how long it will take me to get to office. In the evening, it will tell me how long it will take me to reach home. Google Now will also inform me what time I should leave to reach my appointment venue on time. It gives an auto alert where it will say ‘Time to leave for your appointment to reach on time’… Cool huh!!!
  6. Screen Size – With 5.5inch screen size, browsing internet on the go is comfortable for me. Of course, you can’t lug around your laptop to browse internet, right. I own a blackberry and browsing internet with it is tedious and painful to the eye & finger (scrolling a lot)… hehehe
  7. Google Play – Google Play allows me to download apps such as Translator, Skimble (for my workout), Better home must have recipes, Shopping List, Games and so much more (Of course, any android does have google play.. hehehe but seeing it in a bigger screen is awesome)
  8. Stylus – Oh yes, the stylus has helped me to jot down my resolutions, sketch some ideas and etc. Sometimes, I am lazy to type on the screen, all I do is write down my email content and Note 2 pick up my writing very well (Not only in English but also in Malay)
  9. Ability to remember – The longer you use the more Note 2 understands you, it will remember as you type and it just gives you the list of suggestions based on your habit. It saves me time whenever I wanted to fill up a form.
  10. Jelly Bean  - Yes it runs Jelly Bean – the best OS ever!!!

By the way, if you are wondering whether it is big for a woman. I find it very comfortable. I just place them in my wristlet of handbag to carry it around. As for men, hmmmm… don’t put it in your pocket, my friend lost hers (just bought 1 week) to a pick pocket :(

SAMSUNG Galaxy Note 2 comes in Titanium Grey, White and Pink now… RRP now is RM1999
