Wow. I cannot believe it has been a month since #IWillBeOkay Trail Hike event was held. Everything happened so fast! The idea to have this event came right after I ended my 2nd campaign, which was the #IWillBeOkay Beauty Bag. Then the sourcing for sponsorship starts after I made a call to Ariff to ask him if he would lead the runners for my event. He said yes and I started making plans. Comparing to the beauty bag, this was much more easier as it does not involved a lot of sponsors or rather no key sponsors at all that I need to answer to. Everything was down to me and what I want basically.
I received a huge and heavy surprise parcel a few weeks ago. When I ripped the courier packaging off, I was shocked to find so much of mask series from hair to toe from a Korean brand, Kocostar. Some of the mask I did not know it even existed! Imagine how shock face at that time lol.
Little did I know, Kocostar – Home Beauty Treatments is actually quite a well-known brand. They make all sorts of mask series for the face, hair, feet and nail and it is made available at more than 20 countries globally, with over thousands of stores in total. They only have one goal in mind, and that is to be No. 1 Creative & Innovation mask brand in the world. Errr Kocostar, I think I can certified you are one after looking at all the mask you have. If this is not innovative, I don’t know what is 😛 . In total, there are 12 mask variants available at Sephora beginning February 2017. This proves how long I have not step into a Sephora store lol.
In the past one year, if you have been seeing photos of me with juicy, ‘my lips but better’ lips, it is not a lip balm nor a tinted lip balm. Definitely not a lip gloss as I HATE lip gloss and definitely not a lipstick. It is the Clarins Instant Light Lip Comfort Oil. I keep wanting to talk about this cutie but it kept slipping off my mind. Cannot not admit that I am getting old 😛
When Clarins pulled out all their cosmetic range, all their fans died a little inside. I died a little inside as I am a loyal user of their White Plus HP Whitening Powder Foundation. I lost count on how many refills and casing I have bought again and again because that is all I used. Suddenly somewhere last year a little package dropped at my door step. Inside there is a small dainty and cute Clarins Instant Light Lip Comfort Oil. Even before that I have already been seeing this popping out in a lot of Youtube videos. And I was about to order online because it was intriguing! Little did I know that Clarins Malaysia will be bringing back the cosmetic line and this was their first small step towards the upcoming initiative.
Talk about one local brand Tanamera and everyone goes ahhhh I know that brand. It’s very good! I too remember noticing Tanamera when I just started blogging many years ago but never quite get up close and personal with them until today.
The name Tanamera, which also mean “tanah merah” in Malay is founded by Malaysian and has been in the market since 2000. Tanamera is committed to offer full all-natural and eco-friendly products to the market. And they did one of the leader in the natural products market. Tanamera uses raw material sourced from our very own rich soil from the tropical rainforests therefore consumers can expect ZERO artificial coloring, fragrances, chemical actives and preservatives. They definie true Asian tropical spa treatments that they were inspired by.
Do you? Because I do. I GET VERY PARANOID.
I don’t know what it is but last time I used to buy buy buy, get get get and I like it. I don’t feel suffocated or paranoid about expiry date at all because I know I will get through it since I use so much product on day to day basis. But since last year, I changed unknowingly. I started to get very paranoid with how much stuff I have – used and unused.
It has gotten out of hand that I have to buy a 6-tier shoe cabinet to store my “stock pile”. My home Sephora as I name it. And I have a FIFO (first in first out) system for my stock pile too! For the first month everything was good, then it gotten out of hand very quickly. Even my cabinet is weighing down at the middle now lol. Mind you all this happened even when I have always been very selective with the events and engagement I agree on.
