If you followed me on Instagram or twitter, you should know that I had a pretty bold change a month ago. My stylist decided to give me a brighter and lighter head, screaming a loud purple with a shorter length. It was a side of mine that I almost thought will never happen but I can proudly say that I finally joined the Unicorn Hair Community and I am loving every moment of it! 

I had one pair of beautiful XES heels for the past two years... and now I have three more XES footwear and one bag added into my collection! :D Oh Happy Day!  I wear the black strappy heels (as the one I'm holding in the picture above) pretty often, especially when it's more of a fancier event and so far so good. It's really one of those pair of shoes that will last me for a long time , of course, provided you take good care when it comes to storing them. They are also really sturdy, stable and quite comfortable . Plus, XES shoes are really affordable , especially during festive seasons like these, they'll usually throw in a Buy1Free1 promotion ! 

I've decided to bring this question up because I have a couple of friends asking me if it's worth it buying Innisfree in Malaysia. If you don't know, Innisfree is a popular brand from Korea and they've recently launched their first store in Sunway Pyramid December 2014. It was quite the rage for beauty fanatics, I'll admit that I was pretty excited myself when I got invited for the launch.  If you've been following me on Instagram, you would know that I visited South Korea last month. Of course, I've prepared more than enough money for skincare shopping. To my surprise, I actually did not purchased anything from Innisfree and it wasn't because the products weren't great, it's because there weren't much difference when it comes to price. 

I've written a blogpost about the current trend of non-silicone haircare products in the market, you should really read that blogpost first to grasp some idea of why we should opt of a non-silicone product. This blogpost will mainly be a review of the entire range. 

It's all about entering a new stage of life, the time where we girls learn how to be a lady. Feminine and elegant with a touch of sexiness. Innocent yet refined and mysteriously seductive. " Ladylike " beauty is the new mood for the fresh new MAQuillAGE .  MAQuillAGE aims to bring fun and enjoyment to the makeup experience, to awaken the true beauty that lies within all women. With that, they introduced the Dramatic series - Dramatic Melting Rouge lipsticks, Dramatic Mood Veil, Dramatic Mood Potion, and limited edition True Eye Shadow.  

My first impression was " Air Sirap! " Truly, it does smells exactly like one. Not something that I would say I'm highly fond of, probably due to the fact that I grew up in Malaysia, Rose water beverages were served in almost every Malay weddings and events, or at least used to. Now, I believe many prefer to serve  Teh O Ais Limau as it's less in colouring and taste a whole lot better.  It was quite a struggle to try this at first (due to the fragrance), it's not a turn off or anything, it just reminds me of drinking sweet rose water ( air sirap ) when applying it. As if the product is sweet and it's weird to have them on my face. Though, after applying them, I do like how it feels on my skin as it does give a certain refreshing feeling to my skin. 

I had a short trip to Singapore last year with a few of my girlfriends with a mission to visit Universal Studio Singapore. Of course, we will need a place to stay and Oasia Hotel Singapore did the trick.  Getting to Oasia Hotel was a total breeze for it has a direct underpass to Novena MRT . It was super convenient for us to just take a train from the Airport!  Getting to Oasia Hotel Singapore from Changi Airport:   Take East West Line from Changi Airport (CG2).  Stop at City Hall (EW13/NS25) and switch to North South Line to Novena station (NS20) At Novena station, follow the signboard that directs you to the hotel. 

If there's one thing that I've learnt from the recent launch of Bene Premium Hair Care Series in Zebra Square a few weeks back, it would definitely be the statement "A rise in non-silicone haircare products in Japan." Of course, something new in Malaysia, it's no longer new in an advanced country like Japan. Apparently, the sudden appearance of non-silicone shampoos in Japan started way back in 2010 but only the past year, more people took notice of it.
