Hada Labo Beauty Workshop with Liu Yen and Xiao Kai @ 1 Utama

Beautiful skin, anytime - This is the philosophy of Hada Labo.

Hada Labo has held its beauty workshop at 1 Utama Shopping Center for a few years in a row. As a fan of the brand, I did not miss the chance to attend this workshop and meeting the famous beauty gurus that purposely flew from Taiwan every year.

This year, it is even better. As there was not one but two gurus appeared at the beauty workshop, they are Guru Liu Yen and Guru Xiao Kai. One forever green lady and another one oppa小鲜肉 from Taiwan. Plus, the emcee of the workshop, 988 DJ Cheryl was very good in interacting with fans.

According to the gurus, hydration is essential for beautiful skin. Gently pat Hada Labo Super hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Lotion on face so that it penetrates into skin for an intense boost of hydration. One simple step for soft, supple and bouncy skin. Hada Labo Super hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Lotion comes in Light texture and Rich texture depends on skin needs.

We could also wet some facial cotton pads with Hada Labo Super hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Lotion and leave them on the skin as a hydrating mask, it is advisable to put it on for 10 minutes. Aside from that, we could also use it on our neck for neck care.

They have invited 2 volunteers, a guy and a lady to go up the stage for live demonstration. Choy Peng, our blogger friend was the lucky lady on that day that has gotten the chance to interact with the gurus in close distance. Both of them have great difference after using the products. Their face are glowing, moisturizing and radiant even looking from far behind.

Leading Korean Skincare Range – Ginkgo Natural – Graces the Shores of Southeast Asia through 11street

The warm weather is killing us literally in Malaysia, don’t you agree? In a time where the weather is erratic here in Malaysia, Korean-made Ginkgo Natural promises to nourish the skin to keep it feeling fresh and lively. The Ginkgo Natural range is one of many prestigious products, backed up by research and certified patents. This drive for quality is one of the reasons for their establishment in over 20 countries such as China, Japan, USA and now Malaysia.

Ginkgo Natural is the best-selling all-natural range curated under the multi-billion dollar Korean cosmetic giant, Charmzone. This popular skincare brand is now brought to Malaysia’s shore by its sole distributor, CJ IMC - Korea’s leading cosmetic distributor and premium merchandiser.

11street, one of the largest e-malls in Malaysia, is proud to be the first in Southeast Asia to feature exclusively the range of Ginkgo Natural products to cater to the Malaysian market.

“Charmzone is very established in Korea, so it gives us great pleasure to partner 11street to feature our Charmzone’s Gingko Natural range for the very first time in Southeast Asia. Ginkgo Natural is one of the most popular Korean cleansing products that has hit strides in the Korean market through e-commerce. While e-commerce is already at its peak in Korea, Malaysia is still in its growing stage; therefore, it presents us with the perfect opportunity to tap into the Southeast Asian market through 11street to extend our products to lovers of Korean skincare in Malaysia.  We believe we can achieve this through 11street, thanks to the enormity of its platform and Malaysians’ admiration towards Korean culture,” said Lee Yong Jin, Managing Director of CJ IMC Southeast Asia.

Vice President of Merchandising for 11street, Bruce Lim said during the media event: “We are motivated by this partnership with Ginkgo Natural to provide high quality, prestigious and affordable beauty products for our consumers. As part of our recently launched ‘Shop The World’ campaign, we aspire to bring in more international products for our Malaysian market. Therefore, by bringing in renowned brands such as Ginkgo Natural, 11street sees an opportunity to build bridges between the brand and our consumers. We believe that Ginkgo Natural is a good fit due to its product efficacies, thanks to its all-natural ingredients. Ginkgo Natural is one brand that packs a silent but robust punch.”

As part of the partnership, 11street will feature Ginkgo Natural’s basic skincare range, which encompasses three steps – cleansing, toning and moisturising. For the first step, Gingko Natural features the Cleansing Tissue for make-up removal, and the Cleansing Foam to clean off residue make-up and is suitable for all skin types. Meanwhile, the Ginkgo Natural Skin Toner helps tighten pores and balances skin pH after cleansing, to prepare it for the third step – moisturising. Ginkgo Natural suggests the use of its Essence to lock in moisture and promote skin repair, before applying the Emulsion in the day, or the Cream at night. The former leaves a light and lingering feeling on the skin, while brightening it up at the same time. The latter supplies skin with more moisture, yet making it feel light and fresh. Ginkgo Natural has the whole range of products for daily skincare routine, include Ginkgo Cleansing Tissue, Ginkgo natural cleansing foam,  Ginkgo natural skin toner, Ginkgo natural eye cream, Ginkgo natural essence, Ginkgo natural emulsion for day use, and Ginkgo natural cream for night use plus other skincare products for special needs.

A Healthy Achievement! Chewies Enters Malaysia Book of Records

As a mother of two girls, I give my daughters Chewies gummies in replace with candy daily. Not only Chewies gummies fixed their sweet tooth, but it also comes with the vitamins that kids need in their everyday growth.

We were excited to join 1,958 children together with some parents and teachers happily gathered and chewed their way into the Malaysia Book of Records with some delicious gummies at Sunway Lagoon on Sat, 11 March 2017.

Coming from over 32 primary schools in the Klang Valley, the 1,958 children ate over 5,000 Chewies Immunolicious gummies as they attempted to set a record for the “Largest Participation In An Immunity-Boosting Gummies Taking Session” under the Malaysia Book of Records’ Human Achievement category.

“The children are aged between five and 12 but they were quite happy to take part in this record attempt as Chewies Immunolicious gummies are really quite delicious, in addition to being an immune system booster,” said CEO of AJ Research & Pharma (AJRP) Sdn. Bhd, Javed Ghulam Muhammad.

“This Malaysia Book of Records attempt is one way for us to educate parents on how to germproof their children and themselves by developing a strong immune system as it is better to strengthen the body’s first line of defense then to treat it when it is ill. To achieve that, we need to complement their daily routine with an immune system booster,” added Javed.

After setting the record at the Sunway Amphitheatre by eating the recommended daily dosage – two gummies for kids and four gummies for adults – and boosting their immunity for the day, the children were rewarded with a thrilling, fun packed time enjoying the rides and activities at Sunway Lagoon for the rest of the day. Thanks a lot to Chewies for organised such a wonderful event for the whole family.

Chewies Immunolicious (gummies) are fortified with Wellmune ® – a gluco polysaccharide derived from highly purified proprietary yeast – that acts as a natural immune system booster for children and adults; owned by AJRP and available in Mega-Mango, Super-Strawberry and Ultra-Orange.

Veet Sensitive Touch is Finally Landed in Malaysia

When talking about hair removal, Veet came to my mind immediately as it is one of the world’s leading names in depilatories products. Backed by more than 80 years of experience and expertise, VEET® is one of the foremost authorities in female hair removal. With a strong track record and proven expertise in the female hair removal, the VEET® range of depilatories is popular amongst women seeking effective and convenient hair removal products.

I have been hearing a lot of good reviews on Veet Sensitive Touch Electric Trimmer from bloggers overseas, and I am happy that it has finally launched in our shore last month. As a beauty blogger, I am blessed to be invited to its grand launch event that held at the Talent Lounge on 15^th Feb 2017.

Beauty can feel like a tricky stunt when it comes to hair removal and trimming, as many sensitive body parts demand skill and care. Bikini lines, eyebrows and underarms are delicate areas that requires gentle yet precise trimming, which existing tools like razors and tweezers cannot fully provide. Understanding women’s need for an easier solution, Veet has rolled out this new beauty gadget that makes hair trimming a breeze.

Known as Veet Sensitive Touch, this new gadget is a game-changing device that comes with various detachable heads to facilitate accurate and gentle hair trimming at sensitive body parts, such as the eyebrows, underarms and bikini lines. The cutting blades are specially designed to never touch your skin during usage, hence no risk of cuts.

Currently, women often shape eyebrows by tweezing or threading, as well as use razors for hair removal at bikini line and underarms.

CHEEKAABOO Workshop - Swimming Babies and Safety @ The Parenthood

My parents always tell us not to play with water since we were kids. In fact, research shows that drowning is the 3rd leading cause of unintentional injury death worldwide, accounting for 7% of all injury-related deaths, and 1000 children died from drowning everyday across ASIA. As parents of two girls, I am concern on their safety when it comes to swimming. I let them swim because it is good exercise but I will monitor them whenever they are in the pool

Do you know the water running sound is very attractive to babies? This was what Bryan Yap told us during the CHEEKAABOO Workshop - Swimming Babies and Safety workshop happened at The Parenthood Sunway Pyramid West last Saturday, 18^th Mar 2017. Bryan Yap is a Swim Educator with 23 years teaching experience for young children and educating young parents on kids' safety swimming. We were lucky to attend this workshop and learnt a lot from Bryan for free.

It’s important to get our baby used to water early in their life, as early as new born. Of course we are not talking about bring new born to swim but to build their confident in water. Such as telling baby ‘baby name, ready, here we go’ and pour the water on his head. After that, reward the baby with praise to form their confident to water.

From 6 months onwards, its time to send our kids to a swimming school. Parents have to check if the swim school is licensed and the swimming instructors are certified trainer. Its better to choose on ground swimming pool as it is warmer than the sky pool.

Upon entering, customers are welcomed by a palette of materials including pine, hot-rolled steel and polished concrete that, coupled with higher ceilings and an open storefront, create a warm environment that embraces them as they walk through the door. The shelving height was lowered to provide a more boutique-like experience. The wood was chosen specifically to complement the sea of blue denim while the white paint on the walls was designed to reflect the golden tones of the pinewood. 

Large hyper-graphics on either side of the store - men’s on one wall and women’s on the other - draw in customers even further, helping them envision themselves in Levi’s® products and guiding them where to go. There is a clear differentiation between men’s and women’s section, which makes the store easy to navigate, therefore allowing the brand to create a relevant story personalized for both gender.

[Review] Althea Make Up Tool Box

As a beauty junkie, I love to explore into different makeup brands, tools and cosmetic products. It was so lucky that I have managed to grab a box of Althea Make Up Tool Box not long ago, which is a total steal as there are 8 items inside the box. The products inside worth RM 551 in total but it was on 78% discount so one only needs to pay RM 116 for a Althea Make Up Tool Box. Where else could we get this super deal? I believe only at Althea, which is the No. 1 digital destination for all things K-beauty - shopping, lifestyle, and trends.

As usual, the Althea Make Up Tool Box was delivered to me in perfect condition. All items were wrapped carefully inside the box, thanks Althea team for the effort of packaging to make sure we received the products in tip top condition.

So, back to the products inside Althea Make Up Tool Box.

First, clean our face with B&SOAP Black Block and B&SOAP pore cleansing brush. B&SOAP Black Block contains charcoal extracts that effectively removes the impurities including excessive oil or makeup residues. While the B&SOAP pore cleansing brush has soft, micro fine bristles that sweep away pore-clogging impurities, leave our skin cleansed up every day. One just need 3 minutes to deep cleanse without bare hands. Your skin will thank you for the cleaning and you will see a healthy skin with this practise.

Secondly, apply skincare products with pobling mini Ion Applicator. The silver and pink mini ion applicator is so cute and easy to use, it just need one AAA battery to operate. Just use it for 5 minutes every time and you could really see a huge different. Skincare absorbed better and my skin is softer and smoother after using this with my skincare products.

‘Build a Backpack and So Much More’ with Dugro® So Much More Campaign 2017

Being a mother of two daughters, I am concerned about the health and well-being of my kids. It is always important to start them early on healthy food choices. To make it easier for myself, I always emphasize on food that is high on nutrients, especially for my kids who need the right nutrients, vitamins and minerals to help them grow and develop.

To me, milk is a no brainer because it is something that I have always served to one of my daughters. She isn’t ready to drink fresh milk yet, hence she is now drinking Dumex Dugro 4, a growing-up milk brand for 3 - 6 years old. My grandmother, my mother and my sister grew up with Dumex. And now, it’s my turn to provide my kids with the nutrition they need.

Milk provides nutrients that are essential for good health, especially the ones that kids tend to miss out, like calcium and vitamin D. According to the Malaysia Dietary Guidelines for Children and Adolescents, it is recommended for kids to consume 2 servings of milk every day[i]. My daughter starts her mornings with a glass and ends her day with another glass. Dugro is formulated with DHA, lcFOS and 15 vitamins and minerals, hence I don’t have to worry that my girls missing out on essential nutrients.

The ability of children to prevent sickness (immune system) also relies on the health of their stomach where bacteria thrives. Well, there are good and bad bacteria but if the stomach system is thrown off balance, it will leave them vulnerable and weak (more bad bacteria). My daughter used to suffer from constipation, but ever since she started drinking Dugro, her digestive issues have improved. Fruits and vegetables are also good sources of vitamins and minerals which benefit my kids in many ways. These nutrient-rich foods will help build up their immune system and promote healthy bowel patterns.                              

I brought my daughter to the Dugro ‘So Much More campaign’ recently at 1U Shopping Centre because I wanted to know more about the growing-up milk brand which she has been drinking. My daughter and I had so much fun taking part in their interactive games and activities. All we needed to do was obtain all 3 stamps from each activity booth and we are entitled to redeem a free printed photo at the photo booth. Among all the games, my little one loved the fishing game the most! She played it over and over again like three times at the roadshow! I enjoyed the most when both of us had our mother-and-daughter moment together. :)

My younger daughter is a loving and caring kid. Even at the young age of 4, she would always share her toys with her cousin sisters and even strangers. She loves to sing and dance, and she has recently learnt in reading poems too! Looking at her achievements at an early age, I feel very blessed as a mom. My hope for my two daughters are for them to grow up healthily and being happy, so they can reach their full potential and so much more.

Olay Regenerist for Youthful Skin

Aging starts from the day that we are born, don’t you agree? As a beauty blogger, I believe so. Hence I always encourage girls to start using anti-aging skincare as soon as we hit 18. Moreover, we are living in a country of harsh weather, where we are exposed to strong UV rays almost every day. Thus it is extremely important for us to start using anti-aging products as soon as we can to avoid sagging and wrinkled skin.

When talking to people, I find that one of the reasons that girls do not start on anti-aging skincare is due to the belief that anti-aging products are expensive and that they can’t afford them. But what if I tell you that there’s a brand which is really affordable and yet formulated with powerful anti-aging ingredients? Yes, I am talking about the new Olay Regenerist line which was launched in Malaysia on October 2016.

I remember some senior bloggers have shared their view on the Olay Regenerist collection years ago, it was such a hype back then. In fact, Olay Regenerist is such a great skincare collection and it has won multiple Anti-Aging Skincare Awards before. This time, I am glad that I finally have a chance to try it out too. Honestly, I was stoked because this is my first time trying the Olay brand!

The new Olay Regenerist line comes in new packaging. I love its elegant black and red packaging a lot. Olay Regenerist skincare range is using the most advanced formula to renew skin from within, plumping surface cells for a dramatic transformation without the need for fillers. There are 3 products in Olay Regenerist skincare range below;

1.       Olay Regenerist Miracle Boost Youth Pre-Essence (40ml)
