Good day  Leng Lui-s & Leng Chai-s ,  I'm here with Astro to spread some positivity & happiness in conjunction with Malaysia's 56th Independence Day! *clap, clap, clap*

Hi! A while back, I was hanging out with a bunch of fun bloggers and Himalaya Herbals people that I never knew at a workshop introducing their new Clear Complexion Whitening range. It was a simple gathering during the puasa month with playful sessions of testing the products out and learning & sharing about skincare & makeup. It was nice listening to other beauty bloggers' experiences and tips for a better looking you. 

HELLO Malaysia! & other parts of the world... Our country's independence day is just around the corner so I guess it's super appropriate for me to show a little patriotism to my Malaysia this August.

Hello my friends from all over the world!  The genius idea of compact cushion foundation was first introduced back in 2008 but with the main concept of sunblock + foundation as selling points. Unfortunately, I was 18 back then with very little knowledge about skincare, cosmetic and certainly was not updated with the daily news of the latest technology for makeup. However, I do have the feeling that the original cushion was not known to the Malaysian market as Korean makeup was not all the rage as it is now. 

I've Made It!

Hello my friends! I'm almost over with the Zespri Kiwi 14 Day Challenge and my mind can't stop thinking about all the free kiwis that I will be missing. Oh well, I will have to buy them myself already after this.  One of our challenge is to create a recipe with kiwi fruits. I do cook (not a good one) but since I'm more of a beauty blogger, I believe recipes for DIY mask will be more relevant.

Everybody loves a great shower to kick start the day and to unwind before you go to bed. Bathing relaxes the mind, cleanses impurities and ensures our body stays fresh. Especially in Malaysia, weather is hot and humid, we should be taking bathes more often. No body wants to take a whiff of your body odor even though you are sizzling hot.  Aiken has been around for a very long time, I still can remember the numerous times where my grandmother would ask me to buy Aiken's powder for her when I'm going for groceries shopping. This new Antibacterial Shower range comes in 4 unique variants which provide various functions to suit different lifestyle needs as well as providing a safe and natural enhanced protection. 

Hi!  Here am I with another moisturizer that I have been trying recently to see how it feels on my skin. Before receiving this product, I've honestly never heard of this brand before so I was rather curious to know what is it all about.  EPIDERME is a professional skin care company from Louisiana, USA. They started with a simple mind set of wanting to provide professional skin care solution for skin perfectionist. They do this by providing highly specialized products for almost every type of skin concerns. 

A made in Japan mascara for your brow... is about time! With this we can now skip the clear brow gel step to keep the hairs in place. It seems that this brow mascara is resistant to water, perspiration and sebum plus a 24 hours wear. This product comes with a really nice brush that I don't seemed to know how to appreciate it because I feel that it takes up too much of products for me which makes it hard for me to be light handed on it. 

Yeah, this tube looks nice and fun with metal roller ball and cute name but I don't feel that it does much at all. To be honest, I think this will only really work with people experiencing severe puffy eye bags. So far I have not seen it help much in lightening dark circles but during those times after tearing heavily due to some douchebag or sad korean movie, it really helps in de-puffing those horrible bags.  The metal roller ball thing really makes it incredibly cooling even without sticking it in to the fridge. The Yeast Extract helps to de-puff the bags while the Hoelen Mushroom Extract helps to calms the skin to keep visible redness from settling in. It seems to also have Aloe Vera and Cucumber Extract to help with hydration but I see those ingredients assisting more on the reducing redness and help to cool down the under eyes.

The SECOND Skin Hey Fabulous,  This is one of the most interesting mask I have ever seen so far. It is so weird and cool that everybody has it. It's not like any other mask sheet that I have seen or tried before, its going to change the way you do your mask. 

A youthful fragrance with floral and fruity scents.  Key ingredients Clementine is a type of berry that provides a juicy citrus freshness to a fragrance.  Prized for their ornamental flower, the  Magnolia is heralded as the "queen of all flowers". Their elegant grace and showy flower have come to by symbolic of springtime in the South.  Tonka Bean Absolute is reminiscent of vanilla, almonds, cinnamon and cloves.  Far Away Bella offers a romantic composition which contains floral-fruity notes of Italian clementine and Chinese magnolia, spiced with a warm, balmy trail of tonka beans from Brazil. The glass flacon of the new perfume has purple tulle ribbons on the neck and is available as 50 ml EDP at the price of RM69.00 (East Malaysia RM70.35)
