Bobbi Brown: Illuminating Finish Powder Compact Foundation SPF 12.

2012-02-12T03:52:00.000-08:00

So this is what I purchased last week when I was a One Utama with Pom. We had gone to a few different cosmetic counters to try out the compact powder but finally decided on the one sold at Bobbi Brown in Ground Floor.

My Parkson Estee Lauder Haul

2012-01-29T08:29:00.001-08:00

My RM300 Estee Lauder Haul goodies! So I was waiting for a good promotion before I would buy some perfume. Turns out today was the day. I went shopping with a mate at Sunway Pyramid today, and so happened that Parkson had their cash voucher promotion (of purchase of every RM100 (for Promotion Voucher) and RM150 (for Discount voucher). This probably happened today as I did not see the extra

Osmosis Chiropractor

2011-11-16T04:15:00.000-08:00

I went to see a Chiropractor on Sunday. My back was hurting from the week before so I went to see one that a good friend of mine recommended. You could say I was a bit nervous as it was my first time in seeing a 'bone doctor'. Anyways, to share my experience, I was hurting really badly on Wednesday the same week. Hence, by Sunday, I had no choice but to get it seen by a doctor. The doctor is a

Korean Hair Manicure

2011-11-14T15:05:00.000-08:00

On Monday afternoon, I made a visit to the korean hair salon on Liverpool St. (near World Plaza) for a Hair Manicure. I paid 99aud for threw hair manicure and hair cut.I was thinking of having a hand manicure, but one can get that done anywhere in Australia. But Hair Manicure? That technique is only available in korean, and perhaps japanese hair salons. The entire process took an hour. First the

Day 1: Easing into Reverse Diet.

2011-10-05T04:20:00.000-07:00

Today is the start of my new diet/eating plan.I didnt have much for dinner last night, so that probably cleared out my digestive system for this morning?For breakfast, I had - some egg omelette with lap cheong. I dont really like oily food in the morning, nor cooking if I dont have the time to cook, much less wash up after. So this was premade the evening before.- 1 mug hot chocolate - 1.5

Breakfast Like a King

2011-10-04T04:20:00.000-07:00

So it's close to that time of the year. I'm in the midst of preparing to be one of two bridesmaids at a close friend's wedding in Kuala Lumpur in the first week of December. That means I have about ten weeks from now to prepare. One of the things I truly dislike about winter is that people tend to put on excess baggage. It's not something we can avoid as the cold weather makes people naturally

The Spinal Cord - Nervous system Connection.

2011-09-04T17:16:00.000-07:00

So recently I heard a pretty fantastic story. My friend, JC, who is an asian female of Korean ethnicity in her mid 30s, has suffered from childhood, eczema slow recovery of cuts and wounds. tense stomach area As a result, unlike most "normal" people, she is unable to go to a facial salon, and only uses certain skincare and cosmetic products which has proven to not react on her skin,

Using up my skincare products.

2011-08-17T06:58:00.000-07:00

Its been six months, but I've finally managed to finish the bulk of my skincare products.Apart from some Laneige hydro eye cream, my range of Laneige face care, and Clarins body oil is now completely used up, along with the rest of the body range. There is also some Face Shop toner left to be finished.Now, its just using up my Jurlique face oil, and Clarins blue flower face oil, some Loccitane

Steaming Food

2011-06-02T01:53:00.000-07:00

So I recently discovered the use of a steamer. I normally heat up the frozen 'char siu bau' I have for breakfast in the microwave. That is, until early this week when my housemate asked me to use the steamer to heat up the 'kai pau'.Granted, the microwave takes only 1.5 minutes to do the job, and the steamer about 15-20 minutes. But the alluring pull of the steamer is that the buns will come out

Winter Weight

2011-06-01T04:05:00.000-07:00

So winter weight is upon us. #avg_ls_inline_popup { position:absolute; z-index:9999; padding: 0px 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; width: 240px; overflow: hidden; word-wrap: break-word; color: black; font-size: 10px; text-align: left; line-height: 13px;} At first I was suspicious about it, but some tinkering on the Internet seemed to deem this phenomenon as real.

My First Poh Kong's Tranz Haul.

2011-02-10T02:22:00.000-08:00

As it was my friend's day out, I decided to follow Zen out to Mid Valley today. Recently I developed an interest in jewellery, and in particular precious metals ever since checking out Tiffany's. I then decided to pay a visit to the two outlets that Poh Kong was operating on the Ground level. My philosophy in purchasing items, at least in terms of precious metals and jewellery - jewellery

My Last S2 Slimming Treatment for now.

2011-02-09T08:10:00.000-08:00

So I finished my so called "last" treatment at S2 Slimming today. I called up at 9.30, and made an appointment for 10am! I decided to get it over and done with so that I could spend the rest of the afternoon on doing other things with my family. From the chart, it recorded my lowest weight at about 61kgs in May 2010 (yes, I'm putting my weight here in public). After being away for almost 8

Facial at 128 Faubourg- Bangsar Village 2.

2011-02-07T09:28:00.000-08:00

Yes, so I made an appointment there today. The appointment was supposed to be at 2.30, but I ended up late..... so I ended up being slotted in for the appointment at 4pm. There have been three new released treatments since I left Malaysia, namely the Vital Coolness Treatment (RM350), Resurfacing Cosmeceutic Treatment (RM350), and Chocolate Caramel (RM??) which I would loved to have tried, but

My First Tiffany's Haul.

2011-02-06T05:30:00.000-08:00

Most girls have one. If you haven't, you've probably heard of it in a song. Or maybe seen a movie about it. If the girls don't have one, they might want one. What is this elusive brand? Well, not exactly very elusive.. but quite exclusive. ^^ Tiffany's signature turquoise blue paper bag and stationary. So, I headed down to KLCC early this evening. Located next to Tiffany's was Louis

Good Samaritan Home Klang-KFC Party & Visitation

2011-01-31T02:45:00.000-08:00

So last Saturday, Tammy of Plusizekitten.com had organised a visitation to the Good Samaritan Home in Klang. It was good to meet the other bloggers after my long stay in Sydney. Tammy, Stacey & Joey. Arrivals of the Bright Red Hot Chicks in the morning! Carrying all the goodies. New dresses for the girls! Among the goodies for the children! Face painting! Children enjoying their

Some Malaysian-Sydney economic differences.

2011-01-31T01:37:00.001-08:00

Some of the things different.Lifestyle products and services have always been premiumly priced, but there are differences in how they are priced. 1. Facial treatmentsKlang Valley - Facial salons, spas & massage services, particularly those within the Klang Valley, charge between RM60- RM100. It is almost impossible to pay less than RM100 for a facial in Klang Valley. The only exception would be

I lost weight.

2011-01-26T07:42:00.000-08:00

So I've been ranting recently. Its pretty natural when one crosses borders. But then again, the way that beauty salons run here is so noticeable that unless the customer was walking around with their brains locked up in the clouds, they must be really blind indeed. Anyways, I'm blogging this coz everyone that I've met in the last three days (since my return to KL), the first thing that they

Are prices of facials justified?

2011-01-24T07:08:00.000-08:00

If there is one thing I must get off my back, it is I feel that prices of facials in the cosmopolitan Kuala Lumpur sites are unjustified. In Australia, I am more or less able to deduce the profit margin of a facial whereby a Masseur's salary AUD15/hour. The average price of a facial in Australia ranges from AUD50 onwards. If the salary of a masseur is factored in, depending on the length of the

My Massage at Rest n Relax Aroma Therapy

Trial Price of RM28 (60 minutes body massage). It was a really tiring day for me.. I was almost asleep for most of the day, and who wouldn't be after my tiring journey of almost nine hours to KL. No doubt I'm suffering from jet lag (three hours Sydney - Kuala Lumpur) time difference. So when my mom suggested to go for a body massage at this massage salon in their Mega Mandung outlet, which

Some Menstrual Must-Nots.

2011-01-15T18:08:00.000-08:00

So, I'm currently in the midst on an all things 'menstruation' obsession. I'm now at home, and decided to give church a miss this week. The thought of taking a bus and doing all the public transport transfers, sitting in service for three hours wondering if there was going to be any staining was just too stimulation and stress for me to take. I've read some things on the website, in particular

Health is Wealth.

2011-01-15T17:04:00.000-08:00

So recently, my menstrual cycle decided to pay me a visit. It is worth a mention here, as the last time I had mine was more than six months ago. About the time I first started my position at my current work place. My cycle comes about four times a year, making it a seasonal four monthly occurrence. So it was late by two months, which is a bad thing. About two weeks ago, I was on Christmas leave.

Day 2: A surprise 'Auntie' visit.

2011-01-14T17:47:00.000-08:00

So during the last few days, my face had been breaking out. I was wondering why. It was definitely not any face cream I was using, nor was it the less than stellar make up removal I did. LOL.Then yesterday, I had a surprise 'auntie' visit. Yes, she was already seasonally late from her usual time...... The last time was just before I started work at the child care centre. Well, better late than

My Exciting Plan on Return to KL.

2011-01-11T03:52:00.001-08:00

So, I'm coming home with an empty suitcase.... Really, there isn't much for me to bring back to KL, since everything in the latter is so much cheaper.. I have enough skincare supply back in my KL home to last for the next two years. I was actually thinking of applying for an Australian credit card prior to my return, but was advised that it would be difficult if applicants did not hold a

So, I'm definitely coming back for Chinese New Year!

2011-01-04T06:24:00.001-08:00

So I'm double posting here on both my blogs. So I spoke to my boss this morning. At first she was hesitant, but then she agreed to let me go off.. she had to...! I had a valid reason to come back to Malaysia, to renew my passport, and of course, to see my family. Of course, I made it easy for her to say yes by doing my homework before asking her... I had to check which days the workplace

An hour later, I was surprised to see the post soak solution thoroughly a dark pasty colour. Me: It looks really pasty. Flatmate: How long have you used it? Me: Only this week.

2010-04-29T02:49:00.000-07:00

Latest Update! I met up with an old friend of mine, Madeline's at her home recently, and we had a nice chat. Somehow the conversation turned to Madeline's husband who used to study in United Kingdom, and his experience with Marks & Spencers. According to him, the range of clothing available in Marks & Spencers (during the early 2000s) was targeted to the older folks. The 35 day return policy

I was watching this TVB drama on television, 无头东宫 which directly translated from Headless Empress, or Love is Beautiful, as it is so named. It reminded me of this verse from the Bible that goes like this. 1 Peter 3:1-6 (The Message) 1-4 The same goes for you wives: Be good wives to your husbands, responsive to their needs. There are husbands who, indifferent as they are to any words about God,

Yesterday, was my shopping day. Well, not really but whatever. After church on Sunday, I had lovely nice Japanese lunch with my cousin Mabel in Taman Desa. We talked a bit about cameras, as my cousin is in interior design, and she knows a bit about cameras. Later in the day, I headed off to Mid Valley with a mate from my cell group, Kit. I had seen the Clarins promo at Lot 10 the day before,

Aromatherapy: Types of Materials.

2010-04-15T05:51:00.000-07:00

I've heard so much about aroma therapy, due to my frequent "visits" to the salon. Frankly speaking, I am quite interested in it mostly as it seems safe, has that mysterious "aura" about it, and I'd prefer to make my own home skincare & beauty products. This is definitely much cheaper and more efficient as opposed to spending huge chunks of money on commercialised products. As an anecdote to

A massage candle is a blend of skin safe waxes, oils and essential oils that melt at a low temperature, perfect for a warm and soothing massage. Makes a great Valentine's gift!

S2 Slimming: My First Trial Experience (Part II)

2010-04-14T08:28:00.000-07:00

Continuing from this post, I was led to the first floor of the three-storey building. I left my belongings in the locker, and was led to the treatment room where I removed my clothing. In this outlet, I changed my attire in the room itself, with drapes enclosing the entrance to prevent people walking past from "peeping" inside. For the first trial, as per the first trial menu, I was given - 1

I can never resist one if offered. ^^ Yesterday, I was on my way home when I drove past an S2 Slimming outlet at Kuchai Lama. It seems that a new branch had opened about three weeks ago.

Asterspring: Calming Aromatherapy Facial Treatment

2010-03-31T01:53:00.000-07:00

Yesterday, I went for another facial at Asterspring Bangsar and utilized my RM198 Service Voucher for a Calming Aromatherapy Facial. The therapist said my face looked rather stressed out. That seemed true with a huge volcano of a pimple showing on my upper forehead and redness around my eyes.. Perhaps that was attributed to the fact that last week I was busy on site for 6 days straight,

Sony Expo 2010: Free 3D screening for My Sony Premier members!

Clarins Multi-Active range samples Recently, there was a nation wide Clarins HP Plus samples giveaway. But due to my "tardy-ness" in collecting samples, by the time I arrived at the Pavilion Parkson outlet, the stocks had all vanished! >.<. Actually, I was not too keen on the HP Plus range samples, as I did not find any affinity with the texture of the product. Hence, after a short analysis,

Ion-Steamers: Do they really work?

2010-03-30T05:22:00.000-07:00

Today, I went for another facial at Asterspring Bangsar and utilized my RM198 Service Voucher for an AromaTherapy Facial. Towards the end of my facial, I noticed that the beautician used this contraption which was used to spray "moisture at nano level". The therapist claimed that the technology was imported, and was not available locally, and was also used on "a spray basis with nano molecules

Asterspring: ORP Chamber Immersion.

2010-03-22T09:38:00.000-07:00

Remember the RM260 voucher I won recently? Last week after work, I did some checks at their Bangsar outlet, and realised that I could use the voucher on their Vitality menu (i.e, body menu services). I had a pretty bad body ache the past few days, so I thought I'd try out the ORP Chamber Immersion. So I made an appointment to go in today, after finishing my work errands. What is the ORP

It turns out their Management has allowed existing customers to try out this new promotion for RM188 as well (N.P RM266). ^^ Other promotions include: Limited only at OneUtama- FREE Double Action Neck Treatment worth RM70 for ONECARD members with purchase of

Asterspring: Won a RM260 Facial Service Voucher!

2010-03-16T05:15:00.000-07:00

Last week, I headed down to Asterspring at Bangsar Shopping Centre for a facial tergempar.. Bought a facial package for RM260. When I checked my receipt, there was a SMS in contest for purchases above RM100 in a single receipt. Quickly, quickly so I sent in my entry as I wanted to be among the first 36 SMSes of the day. But did not expect much from it, so totally forgot all about it... Today

Firming The Body Up. Any ideas?

2010-03-05T09:38:00.000-08:00

Hi girls (and readers alike). Was just wondering, does any one knows any ideas (contraptions) or creams (that actually works) but is not too expensive to use for firming up arms and tummy, as well as double chins? Does anyone knows any simple exercises for the above purposes? I just realised that if I don't do anything now, I'll be one big fat overweight woman within the next five years..!

Clinique: Redeeming Youth Surge sample.

2010-01-28T09:03:00.000-08:00

This evening I was at Sunway Pyramid. Since I was there, I decided to redeem the Clinique's Youth Surge samples (which is supposed to come in 7ml size containers). However, apparently the outlet ran out of stock. Fine. So, the SA gave me one 1.5ml sachets. (I had to ask before she would give me another one.) *SURPRISE. SURPRISE.* Guess what the SA did next? She actually rang it up online on
