If you are wondering, yes, I'm still using SK-II, especially during those rebellious skin seasons. It's rather addictive, I can't let my miracle water go.  In a new study, SK-II researches have discovered an intrinsic link between long-term usage of SK-II Facial Treatment and better skin quality as we age. Good news, people who started using the Treatment Essence in their 20s is proven to enjoy better skin in their 30s and 40s. Well, I'll say Amen to that!  More impressively, 9 in 10 loyal users have better skin compared to non-users in the same age group and 7 in 10 users have better skin conditions as compared to non-users who are 10 years younger. You have no idea how thankful I feel right now, as if everything is starting to fall into place. In 10 years time, I'll still have better skin than those non-users who are 10 years younger than me. Pretty cool. 

I don't know about you but I take my shower with pride. Gervenne's Luxury Range of shower creme with its deluxe fragrances is specially formulated for women who seeks indulgence during bath time. Technically, if you're a man and loves to be pampered too, you are welcome to join our loving group! 

Fact Number One - It's the only body moisturising substance I apply ever since I started using it. I'm already half way through it. I'm definitely going to mourn once its all gone. May the Lord multiply it for the better of my skin. Unfortunately, it's neither amoeba or bread. The only way it will multiply itself is me buying more of these. I think most of you know that I apply body lotion like a mad woman because my skin gets extremely dry after shower, I can't help it, it has become a routine. When I got this last month, I seriously felt that this pot is too small and true enough, I'm going through it like pouring water on my body. I foresee it to be gone in about another month or so.

A new generation of eye shadows with finer, suppler texture that are easy to blend and ultra-pigmented. All thanks to their new manufacturing technology, we are not only getting 10 news shades but Make Up For Ever is presenting 210 shades featuring matte and pearly formulas!  Unfortunately, I didn't had the chance to see the entire collection as it was not ready in Malaysia yet but it was nice playing with a few of the shades available during the preview. The shadows were really smooth and their mattes were all I dreamed about. 

You know how we all get excited when we walk out of that salon with a fresh new hair colour and we swear that we will take good care of it with good colour shampoo and etc? Yup, I'm sure you did a very good job at trying to keep your coloured hair last as long as you could. Until the colour starts to fade, the hair care excitement fades along with it too. Most of us would probably go back to whatever , as long as it keeps our hair clean.  Unfortunately, the fact is that faded colour hair season is the time that you should really put more effort into treating your hair. Think of it as like a wonderful staycation with spa that you needed after a long, hard month. Treat your hair with respect, especially after bleaching, so you won't have to complain about it ends splitting on you.

Not the highest I've been but it was still nice to be able to hangout while looking out to the beautiful city of Bandar Utama. Seeing the area from a different perspective was an eye opener and a good reminder of how life can feel different if you look at it from a different angle. It might be hassle and chaotic down there but if you go all the way up, it's serene and calming.  To actually go all the way to The Roof, there are certain fee for it but I highly suggest you book a seat closest to the window in the restaurant Signature. It is just as beautiful while enjoying a good meal. Truly, my second time in Signature and the food is undeniably delicious. I didn't take much picture of the food because I was obviously busy digging in but I can assure you they are good, except the desserts. Oh, also, try their Milo Ice, it's going to change your view on regular milo ice altogether. 

My first official ball and it was filled with glorious macaroons mountain and towers of fruits standing next to a heavenly three-tier chocolate fountain. Oh, how I love the taste of those strawberry fondues cleansing down with a glass of bubbly champagne. Almost nirvana.  And of course, how can I not mention that we were surrounded by tons and tons of Hermes Silk scarfs. Beautiful people fashion them off in so many ways - around the neck, on their head, wearing as a top, tying it to their bags and so on. Nothing was too much nor too little, it was a night of creativity, mystery, arts, food and fun.

There was a period of time where I was just too lazy to brush my teeth and my solution was to get an electric toothbrush. I know, totally absurd because even with an electric toothbrush, you'll still have to pick it up and put it in your mouth and move it along your teeth just like a regular toothbrush. If you are wondering, well, I didn't get one in the end cause I chickened out when I saw the price.  Now, when I saw Philip introducing Airfloss (HX8111) , I thought to myself "nah, I don't need this cause I hardly floss". Don't listen to me when it comes to oral hygiene, I give bad advice. Lols, thus I myself started paying attention to manual flossing because it make sense, sometimes brushing is just not enough. Even though I still don't floss everyday (because it just takes too much effort), at least I'm much more aware about it now. 

Everyone will love this. It has been a while since I've used such an awesome retractable eyeliner. It's the blackest black you could find, it's glides on smoothly and it's long lasting. I had the best time using this ZA Gel Eyeliner. 

Call me crazy but I'm always excited to try new sunscreen. Maybe because I'm a believer of good protection can help reduce the possibility of pigmentation and skin cancer. Let's just accept the fact, the ozone layer is not getting any thicker because humans are still not fully playing their part in taking care of our beloved earth. So, we still have to do what we need to do if we want to look younger, longer. 

A Klang girl travelling all the way to Taman Segar, what was I thinking. It was a freaking long journey and Saturday night wasn't the friendliest hour when the shop was just opposite Cheras Leisure Mall. The funniest thing was that it was a food review, not my niche but my main purpose was to catch up with some friends and I'm glad I did because it was a night with good company.  Life Cafe originally only focused on the art of Chinese tea but when the ownership changed in 1999, Taiwanese and local Sarawak cuisines were introduced into this once tea house now cafe restaurant.

To be able to preview this beautiful new collection with my own eyes, is truly a fun experience. RMK's new 2014 Autumn Winter collection represents the two opposite sides of a woman, strong yet sensitive, kind yet tough. As women, we wear many faces, especially in this era where we are also competing in the working world. Thus, present two textures, matte and shining, in this collection allows women to express our versatile mood. Combining elegance with strength through the subtle contrasts of colour and light, natural beauty emerges no matter what mood are we in.   Here're the full collection of RMK Power of Love 2014 Autumn Winter Collection.

So I was spending a girly day out with my friend and decided to head on to Laundry Bar at The Curve. Wednesday nights are Cover Me nights, where you'll be able to enjoy music covers from famous songs. Cover songs can be rather fun, maybe because I like the idea of being able to sing along just like a karaoke session. Lols.  Of course, we ordered some cocktails and food. I won't say I like it all but there are some items that were pretty impressive.

Travelling is fun but it can be tough and tiring. Thus, why make life harder with bags that are unreliable? Especially the hand-carried ones, it's tricky to find the one.  Terminus is a homegrown brand that thinks out of the box. They focus their designs on the 5 Fs:  Functionality Form Fashion Feel Fun Sounds promising right?

I have to say I am loving the new Sa Sa store look. It feels much more interactive other than just the conventional customer going into the store looking at shelves and products and walk out. When you have the time, you should really pay a visit to Sa Sa first lifestyle concept store at Sunway Pyramid. The idea of having a "store" in a store is kind of genius. Imagine booths that you can sit and have a consultation with a beautician who specialises on that particular brand. It give a more intimate interaction and better customisation to your skin needs. These brand includes Suisse Programme, Collistar and Dr.G. This is also the first time ever that Sa Sa offers facial treatments and express makeup service in the store. You can now seek makeup assistance and demo using brands such as Cyber Colors, Maybelline and ArtDeco.

Finally, I got my hair done after a long wait. It was also the mark of my brown hair got bleached and coloured with a slightly less conventional colour. I just freaking loved it! Let's all just take a moment and shout EUREKA!!! 

Enchanteur Paris is known for its range of unique, French-inspired Floral Fruity fragrances and body care products for the modern, young and romantic ladies. I myself have a a few (or more than I should) bottles of Enchanteur laying in my perfume collection. The new EDT collection is the first range ever by Enchanteur created specially for the younger girls. Literally, young and much more -errrrr. Not my kind of young. Lols. #TryingToMakeAPoint
