The highlight of my week was to attend the launch of Adidas New Ultra BOOST for Fall/ Winter 2015 Collection. It was more exciting than going to a beauty product launch. No, I’ve not forgotten my “beauty blogging” route, just in case you are wondering 😀 . As you know from my Instagram, I started running two months ago and has been progressing quite well according to my triathlete / marathoner friends. I thought so too until I started to suffer from shin splints injury. This type of injury usually happen to beginner runner as they all did one mistake – too much, too soon. There are many factor contributing to shin splints injury and I was told that one of it is the running shoe. So for me, getting to know, see and feel the new Adidas Ultra BOOST running shoe came at the right time.
I do not know anything about the previous version of Ultra BOOST in the Spring/Summer 2015 (S/S 2015) collection, but I was told it was darn good. The new F/W 2015 Ultra BOOST running shoe used the same revolution, with added new and improvised design from the result of many years of research based on the ARAMIS 3D shape and surface measurement to serve as a fully adaptive running experience in any environment.
Happy fly-day! The weekend is here around the corner and that means it’s time to hit the mall to check what’s new and what’s smelling good 😀
Last week, Bath & Body Works Malaysia showcased its latest scents and collections, featuring 3-new Signature Collection fragrances for the body, 6-new scents for the hands and 9-new candle scents for the home. Besides that, there are a handful of new products in the store, which I will show you as well. You know the drill, go make yourself a hot cup of tea or coffee and feast your eyes with 42 sweet indulgence photos!
One of the most asked question to me is what hair care range that I would recommend to strengthen weak hair or to prevent hair loss. Most of the time I am not able to answer that question as I did not have much experience with hair care products targeted for hair loss. Only one. I believe everyone do suffer from hair loss, whether it’s at a minimal or maximum state. It can be caused from bad diet, hormonal changes, post-pregnancy, weak scalp, lack of nutrient in the hair follicle and so on. I may not be bald but I do suffer from hair loss and hair breakage once in a while.
Schwarzkopf Bonacure Fibre Force Range strengthens and restores even the most eroded hair to its optimal level of force and resilience after an application time between four and ten weeks. I took this trio for a spin so let’s see if it really does works for me.
The Bonacure Fibre Force are formulated with micronized, hair-identical keratin to penetrate deep into the gaps in the Cell Membrane Complex to reconstruct damaged, eroded hair from the inside and re-cement it. Hair fibre is strengthened after a subsequent usage from four to ten weeks. This range is said to be suitable for all hair types and structures. Hmmm I don’t quite agree on that and I’ll tell you why.
Most people opt to go with BB Cream whenever they don’t feel like having much makeup on, but not me. I would either go with all or nothing at all 😀 . BB Cream (especially Korean brand) is my least favourite base makeup as they are too oily for my skin. It’s not a secret that I’m all about matte skin. Having said that, I actually kinda like Western version of BB Cream. They suit my skin and preference so well. And when I said Western BB Cream, that includes this NEW L’Occitane Immortelle Precious BB Cream SPF 30.
Funny thing is, I was all hyped up on L’Occitane Pivoine Sublime Skin Tone Perfecting Cream as CC Cream is my absolute favourite so when I started using this Immortelle Precious BB Cream, I was speechless. It’s unlike those BB Cream that I hate and I think I just smack myself for declaring my love for CC Cream loudly last week because I like this BB Cream too! Oh boy 😀 . I should have known better Western BB Cream NEVER fail. On me at least 😉
After the successful Modern Muse fragrance launch in 2014, Estée Lauder released an extension to Modern Muse and that is the Modern Muse Chic. Modern Muse is my most reached perfume the entire half of 2014 up until now and I’m already on my last half of the bottle *yikes!*. When I found out that there will be an extension to my favourite perfume, I find myself having a mixed feeling. Is Modern Muse going to be discontinued? Is Modern Muse Chic the replacement for the original version? Will it carry the Sparkling Jasmine Accord note that I’m obsessed? What if I hate it?
It turns out I was scaring myself with all the insecure questions roaming inside my head. Modern Muse is here to stay and the “Chic” version is the BOLD, CREATIVE, STYLISH version of the original confident, independent, inspiring. Similar, but not the same.
