Review: Human Nature 100% Natural Bug Shield Moisquito Repellent

It's the Halloween day today. On the last day of Oct 2014, I'd like to share one thing that I really like and effective on my kids - Human Nature 100% Natural Bug Shield Moisquito Repellent.
As a parents of two, I am really concern on fighting against pesky mosquitoes. I used to use the spray type insect repellent but I also concern on the chemical ingredients. I'm glad that I could now DEET the safe and natural way.
Human Nature 100% Natural Bug Shield Moisquito Repellent is infused with citronella, lemongrass, soy bean oil and eucalyptus oil for an boost of protection. The scent is nice yet natural. It is non sticky and gentle in formula, even on my baby & toddler's skin. I apply on exposed parts of their body such as arms and legs for protection and extra moisture. Normally one application lasts up to 4 hours for them.

Review: HiShop Bidanpo Mediental Broccoli Mask

Have you ever used a Broccoli Mask? It was my first time trying it out, special thanks to HiShop for sponsoring the Bidanpo Mediental Botanic Garden Mask (Broccoli) for me to review.
Made in Korea, Bidanpo Mediental Botanic Garden Mask (Broccoli) comfort and clean your skin easily. It contains Fresh Broccoli and Centella Asiatica extract sedativescare delivered to your skin purely. I like it fresh Broccoli scent, it is really unique.
The natural cellulose tencel sheets are highly demotropic and fixed easily on skin. Helpful for intensive skin care and deliver the effects of enriched essense softly.

Direction of use:
1. After cleansing, even out skin using toner. Take the mask out of its package, unfold and place the sheet on the face.
2. Rest comfortability for 15-20 minutes and remove the mask.
3.Remove the mask, and let the skin absorb the remaining essense by gently patting the skin.
I brought the Bidanpo Mediental Botanic Garden Brocolli Mask to my recent Island trip. With this mask, my skin is soothed and hydrated even after exposed to sun for a day at the beach side.

Breathe Cleaner Air and Protect Your Family Where It Matters Most, with Ambi Pur and Febreze First Defense Range

Even though a home may look clean to the naked eye, allergens deposited in carpets, mattress, pillows, furniture stuffing and bedding could still be floating in the air. These allergens in turn may trigger asthmatic symptoms, an indicator of “bad” indoor air. With the new Ambi Pur and Febreze First Defense House Dust Reducer range added to your regular cleaning routine, your family and yourself can be assured of better protection against possible airborne allergens.
Designed to eliminate house dust and odours in homes, Ambi Pur First Defense Air Effects and Febreze First Defense Fabric Refresher go beyond creating a cleaner living space for families to breathe easier and happier. It makes housekeeping more efficient.  With the help of Trap and Lock™ House Dust Reduction technology, inanimate particles such as dust mite, pollen, and pet dander matter that may be present in fabric materials or the air can easily be trapped, avoiding them from becoming airborne when there is an impact to the materials.
Spraying Febreze First Defense Fabric Refresher on soft fabric can reduce up to 95% of airborne allergens from fabric while still eliminating odors, leaving behind a light, fresh scent.
When Ambi Pur First Defense Air Effects is sprayed to the air above soft fabrics, malodours are trapped and eliminated, while trapping up to 75% of inanimate allergens from becoming airborne.  A fine mist of scent is released leaving behind a subtle fragrance that lingers throughout the home.
For a clean breath of air at home, it is recommended to spray all fabric surfaces before cleaning takes place so that there will be less airborne inanimate allergens from fabric spreading to the air. 

My thoughts on Ambi Pur and Febreze:

Fall’14 New Black Liners by MAKE UP FOR EVER

A sure way to make your mark, Eyeliner is once again the star of the catwalk, with makeup artists reinventing calligraphic designs that make the eyes the talk of the town! A real fashion statement that can be tailored to your mood and style: retro, sophisticated, glam or rock, a stroke of eyeliner defines the look with its sheer graphic purity. To help women get the look they desire, MAKE UP FOR EVER introduces three new Black Liners this Fall’14.
“We drew inspiration from the gestures that makeup artists use, to offer our customers different types of eyeliner with new materials and new application designs to guarantee a great result in one easy stroke.” says Dany.

Three new products, three professional styles of application, three different effects - blacker than ever, these eyeliners print their power on the skin in a stroke. With their stunning precision and hold, Black Liners unleash every possible graphic style, from the subtlest to the boldest look.

High in pigment concentration and carbon black in color, the liners give you a deep, dark black and gives an instant result, rush and intense with the first stroke that won’t fade when it dries on the skin. Wear them impeccably on the eyelids for the best and most beautiful line.

Be it in pencil, brush or felt-tip form - a matte, vinyl or tattoo finish - Black Liners will be a graphic revolution to eye-liner make-up.

THE INFALLIBLE STROKE

For a jet-black outline smoldering with sensuality, this ultra-soft pencil liner is the number one choice. Its creamy and stunningly silky texture melts effortlessly onto the skin and yet, it does not lose its intensity. This is the liner for fans of “black on black”, creating luscious glam rock eyes that make an outrageous statement.

WHY IT STANDS OUT

Artist Liner is unlike any other eyeliner pencil. Creamier, silkier and more intense, it gives eyes that high-voltage black effect and is not in the business of precise lines! Its silky texture can be applied as a thick outline or easily smudged for a smoky eye. The modern soft matte finish lasts from morning till night without ever losing its impact.

L’OCCITANE Charity Fundraising for The Blind

The gift of sight is something we tend to take for granted, especially if we were born with it. We don’t know what it’s like to live in darkness, without the opportunity to enjoy and appreciate the beauty of Mother Nature. We don’t feel the sense of helplessness that the visually-impaired feel, even more so when they don’t receive the care they should get. Today, there are almost 285 million blind or visually-impaired people throughout the world. Yet, a staggering 80% of blindness is actually preventable.

For the past 14 years, L’OCCITANE and the L’OCCITANE Foundation have been working hand in hand with many organizations around the world that are dedicated to fighting blindness. Since 2006, 500,000 people have benefitted from eye care thanks to L’OCCITANE’s efforts to support the visually-impaired. So far, more than 2 million Euros have been donated to programmes in some 15 countries worldwide. To raise these funds, a special fundraising product is sold in L’OCCITANE stores each year, where all the profits will be donated to local non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to support the visually-impaired.


This year, L’OCCITANE Malaysia invites you to make a difference by participating in its charity fundraising drive.  This marks the 6th year of the brand’s dedication towards the L’OCCITANE Foundation, where it has been working closely with the Malaysian Association for the Blind (MAB) to improve the lives of the blind and visually-impaired in Malaysia. MAB organizes training to help visually-impaired people achieve greater responsibility and independence in their daily lives, with workshops covering subjects such as basic cooking and home skills. To date, L’OCCITANE Malaysia has raised a total of RM193,240 through its fundraising efforts & a co-funding of RM22,258 from L’OCCITANE FOUNDATION FRANCEC, which are then donated to MAB and a few other beneficiaries including the Women’s Development Department of Selangor and since 2013/2014, St. Nicholas Home in Penang, an NGO dedicated to help its blind and visually-impaired residents.
L’OCCITANE Malaysia’s 2014/2015 charity fundraising drive will be launched in conjunction with World Sight Day on 9th October to mark this meaningful event and encourage the public to be more aware of the plight of the visually-impaired, and will run for duration of 3 months until 31st December 2014. The iconic limited-edition collectible is also different from that of previous years, featuring a unique tote bag with the theme, ‘I Care About Sight’. Made from sustainably-sourced cotton, this practical, reusable and eco-friendly bag imported from France is printed with a design chosen by L’OCCITANE’s Facebook fans. Only 30,000 bags have been made worldwide, so it is truly a coveted item to be collected by die-hard L’OCCITANE fans and members of the public who want to contribute their part in helping the visually-impaired.
