XIXILI recently unveiled it’s latest collection lingerie themed Aurora, Rise of Dawn with a spectacular fashion show at Ruyi & Lyn. The inspiration behind this new collection is sunrise bonfire and spiritual tribal awakening. Aurora, Rise of Dawn – depicting a brand new day of hope, strength and joy for the everyday woman.
One of my very first Innisfree product is not The Green Tea Seed Serum but this No-Sebum Mineral Powder. Back then I have really oily skin and anything that said ‘matte’ or ‘no-sebum’ suck me into purchasing them automatically. The best part? This Innisfree No-Sebum Mineral Powder is VERY affordable. Like student-budget type of affordable 😀
With its sister brand adopting a new tagline, it is just the matter of time before L’Oréal Paris does the same. I was right. L’Oréal Paris revealed a brand new identity last week for its makeup products. They are now known as L’Oréal Paris Makeup Designer. L’Oréal want you to not just apply makeup but design your own makeup look.
Ever since my skin condition and brightness improved with proper skincare routine, getting ready has been fast and easy. I no longer go through a full high coverage foundation routine unless I am heading to an event. My everyday face routine consists only BB cream or CC cream or tinted sunscreen with translucent powder to keep the shine at bay. My recent go-to favourite is this, Suntegrity 5-in-1 Natural Moisturizing Face Sunscreen.
#IWillBeOkay ‘Fight Against Depression’ Awareness Campaign is a non-profit project that I have been working on lately. After weeks of planning, preparation, and stress, it is finally launched 🙂
I am not your conventional girl. I do not believe that it is a stigma to admit that you have depression. Last year when I came out openly talking about my depression, I gave a shock to everyone I know. To my friends, clients, readers or even family members, I am a cheerful, talkative, strong-will, fierce lady. “How is it possible you have depression? You are always cheerful!”, friends said. But often it is also this type of personality that depression like to creep into. I found out late. I know something is wrong with me but I did not know what. Until one day, where I wanted to end my life there and then, that a friend called me on the phone sensing I might be in trouble, telling me I have a serious problem. That I have depression. I told myself if I ever survive this I will not be any other person that do not talk about it. I always believe that being a blogger is not about how famous I can get or how many products I was sent and even how many event I go to. It is about changing other people’s life, it is about inspiring others and empowering them in a way. That is me. That is what I believe and has been doing. Thus Modern Mavens was born. People told me I should keep the whole depression thingy to myself only. I do not understand why I would want to do that IF I knew I can help others by speaking out about it. The issue I had was I did not even know I have depression because I did not know anything as no one talks about it. When I found out I have depression it was a tad bit too late. I did not want others to go through what I went through – not knowing you had depression due to lack of knowledge and understanding.
