The one brand that nail polish geek talk constantly about is Seche. It is also a brand that I see appearing at every nail polish blog. So what exactly is Seche? The first time I ever read about Seche is from a beauty blog but I cannot remember which. It was actually a mixed review so let’s just say I wasn’t interested with Seche since then because of that review. There is one point of time where I was very much into nail polish. The fear of yellowish nail always bother me so I started to Google more info on Seche and found quite a lot of good review. When Seche finally hit Malaysia shore, I bought not one but two bottle of Seche. Which two? Let’s find out.
I must say. Seche is really confusing. The sub-range for Seche are all named as Seche something something such as Seche Vite, Seche Restore, Seche Ultra-V, Seche Base, Seche Clear, Seche Natural and Seche Plus. See! It’s so confusing! Eventhough so I have a clear mindset of what I want – Seche Clear™ Crystal Clear Base Coat and Seche Vite™ Dry Fast Top Coat.
I love sneak peek from beauty box/bag. They gave me an idea what product I’m getting for the subscription fee that I paid but I also hate them because they make me spend and add clutter to my already-so-congested-room :D. Yes, it’s a love and hate relationship.
One thing that I love about Bag of Love and MiMi is that she is not stingy with sharing sneak peek. I have mentioned before that in order to post up a sneak peek to the whole wide world you got to be confident with the content. Which is what Bag of Love never short of.
This is June’s “Fun in the Sun” edition. My bag was the first batch that was sent out but I still didn’t receive it despite second batch subscribers already received their respective bag. So I suspect it is stranded once again at AirPak centre. Three days later, coincidently I was on leave and I drove to the centre early in the morning to pick up my parcel. I was at the centre for close to 15 minutes and they couldn’t find my parcel! After numerous checking and searching later on only my parcel was found stashed at one lonely corner. I lectured 2 different administrator there on AirPak’s poor service and the fact that I live just down the street but yet they refuse to send the parcel. The answer I get is “rider don’t want to send we also can’t do anything”. Errr rider is suppose to follow instruction from the administrator or the administrator follow rider’s instruction? Honestly I will not want to go through all this trouble again if Bag of Love were to continue using AirPak. Good news for me now that MiMi announced the change of courier to TA-Q-BIN except for East Malaysia as TA-Q-BIN is not available there.
Enough of my courier drama already. I bet you see that coming lol. Let’s see why I subscribe to this edition 😀
When Clarisonic first came into the beauty world, everyone went crazy. For the first few years we here at Malaysia doesn’t have the luxury to purchase it off the store so many travel oversea for holiday and brought back. Back then I have no idea what was they hype all about. I mean it’s only for cleansing the face. I don’t get what’s the hoo haa about. To spend close to RM600 for a device to clean the face? Not for me. No way I’m going to spend that much on a hand-held device to wash my face. The best part is after reading all the redness and breakout from using Clarisonic, people still go continue to go crazy.
Ever since my skin allergy attack I have to be careful with what I use on my face. No doubt there has been quite a few cleansing device that is available in the market but there is one particular that I am interested with. I don’t just settle with any XXX brand device. I’m more intrigued with Olay Professional Pro-X Advanced Cleansing System.
When I first heard about this Olay Professional Pro-X Advanced Cleansing System, I went blank a while trying to think if Olay Malaysia launched it that I’m not aware of. Silly me. I then realized that this is not sold in any physical pharmacy store in Malaysia. In fact you can only get it from an online store, particularly from Supermodel’s Secrets Beauty Store that order the devices directly from USA. Most of their beauty products are imported from oversea 😀

I guess many of you have heard and know of the brand AUPRES. For those who still didn’t have a bit clue about AUPRES…well AUPRES is French for “next to you, close to you”. It is an exclusive skincare and makeup brand launched in 1994 that only reaches our Malaysia shore on the 4th quater of last year. The philosophy of the brand is that they believe skincare is a woman’s ultimate companion in life for achieving and maintaining beautiful skin. I say ditto to that and may I add that it is also beautifully packaged and very affordable too!
I didn’t get to go to their launch last year but thanks to the wonderful people at MIVVA for extending an invite to me for AUPRES Pampering Workshop which was held last Saturday, and also thanks to AUPRES Malaysia for coming up with a session for the bloggers that I am able to get close to AUPRES to learn more about the brand.
I reached slightly late due to the massive traffic jam at Jalan Tun Razak (I heard SMART tunnel is worse). As soon as I reached Zang Toi cafe located at 4th Floor of Pavilion KL, I can see that most bloggers already arrived. All the pampering station is full but I was ushered to the makeover station where I had my flash makeover using AUPRES’s latest and upcoming makeup products which I can’t reveal here yet. You got to find out in August 😛
