Bento for JR + Dutch Lady Malaysia Contest

I prepared my first ever bento for JR yesterday to join the Dutch Lady Malaysia lunch box contest. The bento is not in big portion as JR is just 22 months, her appetite is still small.

The most important thing is, it must be nutritious hence I followed the food pyramid. I selected Ingredients: Bread, Cheddar cheese, rice, carrots, broccoli, seaweeds, egg, green apple, orange, papaya and a pack of Dutch Lady Kid UHT Choc milk(age 1-6).

I used the Winney the Pooh mould that I bought from Tokyo Disneyland to cut the bread. Then I used some plastic mould to cut the cheese into birds shape. Egg was being molded into a heart shape(show my love to JR) and rice was being molded into a bear shape. JR was very happy to see and eat her first ever bento. I felt satisfied and promised to make more bento for her in future.

I wish you like this. Now, please support me by following the 2 steps below in FB so that I can get into finalist to win some prizes from Dutch Lady.

Kao Premium Beauty Care Roadshow + Asience Shine Therapy Review

Kao Malaysia will be having Premium Beauty Care Roadshow in Sungei Wang Plaza from 28 April till 2nd May, 10am to 10pm. They will be showing off live demos of their Latest Tokyo Hairstyle Collection as well. Participated brands including Liese, Biore and Asience. Please refer to the flyer below for more information. :)

I have also tried the newly launched Asience Shine Therapy shampoo and conditioner. It claims that It has the Enhanced Asian Beauty Essences plus Soybean, its ultra repairing formula is suitable for damaged, dull and brittle coloured, permed or rebonded hair. Your hair will regains its strength and shine, becoming resistant to breakage and split ends. The shampoo is much alike Tsubaki, silky smooth in texture and not foam type. And the conditioner is just normal, something like cream type but not rich. After washing it out, sadly it did not give me the result as claimed. Indeed my hair was dull after using it. I wonder is it working for the others but not for me? :(

Aqua Label Aqua Enhancer WT

Today I would like to share about my experience using Aqua Label Aqua Enhancer WT. Aqua Label Aqua Enhancer WT is a beauty essence that promotes the absorption of the prior products, the effect of lotion and emulsion and further clarity of skin.

How to use? After applying emulsion, take an appropriate amount onto cotton pad/palm. Hold the cotton pad on your forefinger, middle finder and ring finger and pat onto your skin.

I have been using it for more than 3 weeks, day and night now. I like it's cooling and fast absorption effect. I did a skin check the day before and I found that my collagen level has boosted up, and my pores are smaller now. I think it does help my skin to absorb skin care better and resulted more radiant skin. I love it very much! =)

Aqua Label Aqua Enhancer WT 130ml is selling at RM58.90 at major pharmacies.

Burt's Bees Baby Bee Nourishing oil

Today I would like to share my review on Burt's Bees Baby Bee Nourishing oil.

How it Works
It's time for a treat. Soften and smooth baby’s skin with a medley of vitamin-rich oils. Apricot is infused with grape seed, wheat germ and sunflower oils to create a rich, natural treat for precious skin.

How to Use It
Add a capful to a warm bath or pamper baby with a gentle après-bath massage.

Apricot Oil
Prunus Armeniaca. An extremely desirable moisturizer rich in vitamins A and E, apricot kernel oil is extracted from the inedible kernels found in the apricot pit. The oil helps skin retain elasticity and suppleness without feeling greasy. It is especially effective when used on dry or mature skin.

Burt's Bees Baby Bee Nourishing oil is 100% Natural and it smells very nice. It is easy to absorbed and baby's skin would not feel oily after massaging in the Oil. I recommend this for every mothers and babies to moisture baby's delicate skin. Look, my princess does ove it very much. =)

Burt's Bees Baby Bee Nourishing oil 118ml is selling at RM56.80 at all Burt's Bees Stores.

Hada Labo Retinol Lifting + Firming Lotion

Yay! Finally Hada Labo Retinol Range is launched in Malaysia. Hada Labo Retinol Range is an amazing innovation of products packed with 3 powerful anti-aging ingredients - Retinol Vitamin A, Collagen and Hada Labo’s signature ingredient –Super Hyaluronic Acid (SHA) for an early start to wrinkle free, youthful and perfect skin.

Today I would like to review Hada Labo Retinol Lifting + Firming Lotion.

Functions:

- Instantly replenish moisture to hydrate skin from within. Significantly smoothes fine lines and wrinkles leaving skin feeling soft, supple and revitalized.
- Regular use improves elasticity, radiance and a more youthful appearance to the skin. Prepares the skin to fully receive the benefits of other Retinol products.
- Skin pH balanced. Low irritation.

- Free of fragrances, mineral oil, alcohol and colorant.

Direction:

Use twice a day after cleansing face. Apply on palms and gently pat onto skin until thoroughly absorbed.

 

The lotion is not as sticky as SHA moisturizing lotion. With the amount of this I could apply it to my whole face and neck already. I would definitely repurchase this as I like the fact that it is fully imported from Japan, unlike the SHA moisturizing lotion which is also good but made in China.

Hada Labo Retinol Lifting + Firming Lotion 170ml is selling at RM55.90 at Guardian.

Origins Plantscription & Mega-Mushroom Skin Relief face lotion

I was lucky to get selected and join Origins Plantscription test panel awhile ago. As many of you would have know that Origins Plantscription is a breakthrough anti-aging product that has been officially launched last month.

Origins Plantscription main ingredients are Anogeissus tree bark, Siegesbeckia and rosemary extract. These are all relatively new ingredients in skin care. Anogeissus tree bark has been found to have significant antioxidant activity, as well as to accelerate the rate of wound healing in rats by increasing skin’s production of fibrillin, a structural protein of skin. Fibrillin is necessary for the skin to build elastin, which keeps the skin firm; therefore, it is likely the increase in skin firmness exhibited in the aforementioned clinical trial may be attributed to Anogeissus.

I have been using Origins Plantscription day and night for the past two months. I love it's texture as it's light and very easy to absorb. My forehead and laugh lines have reduced significantly and I love this product to every bit.

Origins Plantscription Product Rating: 8/10
Value for money: 4/5 (30ml at RM260)

Origins also gave me a bottle of Dr. Andrew Weil for Origins Mega-Mushroom Skin Relief face lotion to compliment my skin care routine for the past 2 months. Origins Mega-Mushroom Skin Relief face lotion is perfect to repair my skin, it reduces redness and sensitivity. The main ingredient of Origins Mega-Mushroom Skin Relief face lotion is Narcissus Lily Bulbs that optimizes skin's defenses to help prevent future damage.

Origins Mega-Mushroom Skin Relief face lotion Product Rating: 9/10
Value for money: 4/5 (50ml at RM290)

Do check out these products at all Origins store yeah. Their helpful SA will help you to get a range that is suitable for your skin.

Charles Worthington is in Watsons Malaysia

Here is another new hair care products for Malaysian to select from Watsons Malaysia - Charles Worthington.

With over 20 years experience Charles has won numerous international awards. He is also the most sought after hairdresser for red carpets events worldwide namely the Golden Globe Awards and the Oscars Awards.

I have been given Charles Worthington Balancing Act Shampoo and Conditioner by Watsons Malaysia to try. And here is my review.

Charles Worthington Balancing Act Shampoo is clear in color and it does not gives you a lot of foam. However it does clean up my hair and scalp. My hair isn't that oily compare to other balancing shampoo that I had used before.

Charles Worthington Balancing Act conditioner is white and thick. It gives me instant smooth result and my hair looks more healthy after just one usage.

Basically I like the shampoo and conditioner quite a lot and recommend you to try. The price is reasonable and you could find it easily at Watsons store from 8th April 2011 onwards.

Hoyu Bigen Silk Touch Cream Color, Hoyu Leave-On Treatment Spray & Gel

Thanks Hoyu Malaysia for it's giveaways in February & March to it's Facebook Fans, I have got the Hoyu Bigen Silk Touch Cream Color, Hoyu Leave-On Treatment Spray & Hoyu Leave-On Treatment Gel for FREE yeah!

I have tried the products last weekend and would like to review it here.

Firstly is the Hoyu Bigen Silk Touch Cream Color - elegant mahogany code-6R. Unlike Liese bubble hair color, Hoyu Bigen Silk Touch Cream Color is a permanent hair color recommended for gray hair. It provides better coverage than Bubble hair color. With the use of the hair color kit, you wouldn't need to worry that the color is uneven for your hair. The cream is easily blended evenly using the brushes and comb it provided.

After the color is done in 25 minutes, one can wash and apply the packet of hair conditioner which comes with the box. After the hair is dry, it's time for some treatment.

Hoyu Leave-On Treatment Spray (Deep Moisture/ Extra Smooth) is a morning Essence for colored hair as anti color fade, use as a styling base and all-day protection and manageability.  Hoyu Leave-On Treatment Spray has very light smell which is very much different from Liese Juicy Shower with strong berry smell.

Hoyu Leave-On Treatment Gel (Deep Moisture/ Extra Smooth) is a night repair for colored hair and intensive care, leave hair silk smooth and supple, and prevents fading of hair color.

The best part of Hoyu products is, it's all Made in Japan. For me, it means quality assurance. ;-)  I am satisfied with the results as showing in my photo here. Wish Hoyu products will be beneficiary for you too.

For those who would like to purchase Hoyu products, you can easily find it at major drugstores. Have fun~
