Body - Fragrance HUGO BOSS Review: Bath / Body

BOSS MA VIE Pour Femme Eau de Parfum: Exceptional carefully balanced ingredients of Cactus Blossom for Strength, Pink Floral Bouquet for Beauty and Cedar Wood for Life

It felt like ages since my last fragrance review isn’t it. I was told that reviewing fragrance is one of the toughest because we all have different body chemistry and different scent preference. In another word, what I like may not be what you will like and vice versa 😀 . Tell you a secret. I kinda enjoy reviewing fragrances. I mean, I am afterall just telling you what I think about the fragrance ON ME 🙂 . As simple as that.

Usually press releases came into my email inbox even before the fragrance does. As you already know, I would be more than happy to post these info up. This time around I’ve gotten my hands on the soon-to-be (I got this in August) launch BOSS MA VIE Pour Femme Eau de Parfum even before the press release reaches my email inbox. I am a fan of HUGO BOSS Pour Femme line and I was expecting to love this new one too.

How do you like my interpretation of HUGO BOSS initial? The idea came while I was sleeping lol

Having to already own a bottle of BOSS NUIT Pour Femme a few months ago, I can already prepare myself for what to come – elegant, womenly, inspiration and confidence scent. Knowing that Gwyneth Paltrow, the ambassador for BOSS JOUR and BOSS NUIT is once again elected to be the ambassador for BOSS MA VIE Pour Femme confirmed my suspicious that the scent is going to be as good as the rest in the line. BOSS MA VIE Pour Femme completes the trio and reveals a new dimension to the BOSS woman.

Body - Detox Review: Bath / Body SkinnyMint

SkinnyMint 14 Day Starter Teatox: It doesn’t work a bit on me at all

For the past one month or so, there was an advert on my Facebook timeline that keep on appearing out of no where. I click on it and I was directed to SkinnyMint Facebook page. I don’t know how or why but SkinnyMint is kinda taking the female world by flash. Who doesn’t want to lose weight by just drinking tea right? So I decided to get the 14 Day Starter Teatox Pack to try. Initially I wanted to go ahead with 28 Day Ultimate Teatox and my friend Cynthia told me to get the 14 Day Teatox instead just in case I don’t like.

Yesterday was my 10th day of the 14 Day Teatox program so I thought I could quickly tell you what I think about spending RM98.35 on the tea before I ran out of tea bags for photo lol.

SkinnyMint 14 Day Teatox
SkinnyMint is a new Teatox program that helps you to detoxify and lose weight at the same time. But it’s not as easy as brewing a cup of SkinnyMint tea and you’ll lose weight magically. It is recommended to implement some exercise routine together with the program and then change the type of food intake so that Teatox will work even more better.

Body - Shower Gel Hair Care - Shampoo & Conditioner philosophy Review: Bath / Body Review: Hair Care

Philosophy Raspberry Sorbet Shampoo, Shower Gel & Bubble Bath: A head-to-toe cleansing product that is conveniently my shampoo and shower gel

And so my mum was curious as to why I went to the bathroom and took the Philosophy Raspberry Sorbet Shampoo, Shower Gel & Bubble Bath to my room. She happened to stood nearby when I tip-toe into the bathroom 😀 . As you already know what the hype is all about two months ago, Philosophy is finally launched in Malaysia back in February 2014. All this big and highly raved brands is slowly making it’s way into our country, very much to beauty enthusiast delight. There’s another one coming to us very very soon. I’ll tell you about it when I can.

I happened to be given a few of Philosophy best-seller products to try. I can’t tell which one I like because I love it all! Philosophy product works so well on me that it makes me happy by just looking at it. Because I love it so much, I thought I should also tell you about it. Philosophy Raspberry Sorbet Shampoo, Shower Gel & Bubble Bath happens to be the first Philosophy product I ever tried from the loot. This is love at first sight.

One particular product that I’ve been reading a lot on Philosophy previously is the multitasking 3-in-1 shampoo, shower gel and bubble bath product. There are a few flavours of 3-in-1 shower gel offered by Philosophy and although I have yet to try it all, I can safely said that I’m quite glad I started off with Raspberry Sorbet flavour. One sniff already sent me to heaven. One bath? There’s no turning back!

Body - Body / Shower Scrub Review: Bath / Body Sephora Soap & Glory

Review: Scrub-a-Dub Dub with Soap and Glory Flake Away Body Polish

Since I’m taking a break from working, I’m also on shopping ban as I’m no longer earning any income or whatsoever. Good for me because I can take this opportunity to be more hardworking in using up all the beauty product stash that I have. Like I said before I have a very good self-control on shopping but I do plan to splurge on Make Up For Ever products during their official opening of Pro Boutique which was held last Friday. I don’t know if it’s fated or what. I have to absent myself from the event that day as I was rushing some freelance job that I took on. So no haul for me.

I went to Sephora KLCC last Sunday to hunt for gifts for a dear friend of mine. Since I can’t shop for myself doesn’t mean I can’t shop for somebody else right? Right? There’s something about spending on other people. It makes me happy to see my friends caught in surprise with small gifts that I got for them. Among the array of gifts I bought, I also pick up a tub of Soap & Glory Flake Away Body Polish.

Review: Sunplay Skin Aqua UV Silky Smooth Mist SPF50 PA+++, The 1st high SPF daily sunblock that is cooling and matte. Plus it comes in a convenient mist bottle

Judging from the title you might already know what I’m about to talk about today. The keyword – high SPF sunblock, matte and mist bottle already excite me 🙂

This, my friend is a brand new product imported directly from Japan. Sunplay Skin Aqua UV Silky Smooth Mist SPF50 PA+++ is the first of its kind daily sunblock that comes in a mist bottle. When I say the-first-of-its-kind, I do mean high SPF50 PA+++ with broad spectrum protection against UVA & UVB harmful rays, spray-on application, non-sticky (in my term it’s matte), odourless, cooling and colorless.

The very main reason why most people would rather go on the day without any sunblock on is the stickiness. Traditionally, daily sunblock (especially higher SPF ones) leaves a sticky residue on the skin that can cause discomfort and shine on the face. I don’t know if you’ve tried sunblock from years ago because I have and they stinks! Now you will have no excuse anymore to skip sunblock because Sunplay Skin Aqua UV Silky Smooth Mist SPF50 PA+++ is formulated with fine Silky Powder technology that gives a silky smooth feeling to the skin and it also has sweat control feature to keep the skin surface dry. In another word, Sunplay Skin Aqua UV Silky Smooth Mist SPF50 PA+++ is superb to be used on a hot and humid weather like Malaysia.
