Launch of Kiehl's Ultra Facial Overnight Hydrating Masque at Mid Valley Kuala Lumpur & A Sneak Peak of Kiehl's New Aromatic Blends [LAUNCH & TEASER]

Hi All!

Last Wednesday I was invited as a "Friends of Kiehl's" and attended the Launch of Kiehl's Ultra Facial Overnight Hydrating Masque at Mid Valley Kuala Lumpur!


Kiehl's Ultra Facial Overnight Hydrating Masque
 
If you're wondering what a "Friends of Kiehl's" is, its actually a loyalty club. 

How to join? 
Well all you need to do is spend RM 250 and above in a single receipt to be able to join and its a lifetime membership. 

What do I get?
1. If you accumulate a total of RM 1000 nett within 12 months from the date of your first purchase you will then be eligible to redeem a RM 100 gift certificate. 

You can log in by clicking this link to check how much points you have accumulated or if you are eligible for the RM100 gift certificate.

2. You get a 10% voucher to be used for any purchase in a single receipt during your birthday month; and

3. Exclusive invitations to launch parties, workshops and pre-launch samplings.
 
And you guessed it I got invited to this launch through this last benefit! Yay me!


 Super informative and friendly staff, Love them!
 
 

Love the atmosphere!



 OMG did I mention the super delicious food served! Its so yummy and out of the ordinary

 My life saver! Love you guys for always bringing me the food!


Now your wondering what the launch product actually does well the Kiehl's Ultra Facial Overnight Hydrating Masque is a concentrated masque that replenishes the skin's water reserves, provides a long lasting hydration and you can use it overnight while you sleep! 



It's advertised ingredients include the fountain plant which is native to Asia as this plant limits excessive water to keep skin optimally moisturized, it contains pro-hydration actives which helps skin retian water by strengthening skin's moisture barrier and it contains fragmented hyaluronic acid in small particle size which better hydrates water reserves in the skin.

A simple how to diagram

 The masque texture is clear and slightly tacky.

The amount/thickness that should be spread out on your face to achieve the best result and leave on for 10 minutes.

I used a tissue to wipe off the excess. This is what it should look like after. Leave this on until the next morning when you wash your face and you're done. 


Pros: Your face feels really plump and hydrated the next morning and after using it twice I still haven broken out in pimples after using the mask.

Cons: Only use this if you can stand the fact that your face will be slightly tacky (sticky) until you wash it off the next morning. 
Retail: RM 130


Last but not least! 

A Sneak Peak of Kiehl's New Aromatic Blends



The Aromatic Blends consist of 4 wonderfully delicious scents that come in the form of a body cleanser, body lotion and perfume for each scent!
Believe me I smelled them all! (and some twice or more!)


The Orange Flower & Lychee 
This has a (not overly) sweet scent. Why do I say this? Its because the top note is a bitter orange scent when you first spray it on. After awhile it mellows out to a refreshing orange lychee sweet scent. 
 
The Nashi Blossom & Pink Grapefruit
This on the other hand is a straight out fresh sent. It has a light airy texture without being overly flowery.

The Vanilla & Cedarwood
This has a warm sultry scent, so if you love sensual perfume this is it.
If you worry about the scent being vanilla don't! 
Kiehl's got the scent of vanilla just right without being sickly sweet. 

 The Fig Leaf & Sage
Lastly, this has a dominant herbal scent and while its not something that I would personally like (as I love fruity, flowery, woody, warm and sensual scents) . I believe that if you have the tendency to love herbal scents you will surely fall in love with this.

 
If you're dying to try out this scent do not worry its going to be launched on the 1st November 2012 so mark your calendar I know I will

On that note I myself only got the chance to try out the perfume at the launch and they smell heavenly. So I'm waiting for the launch so that I can get to test out the body lotion and the body cleanser. What's so good about the lotion and the cleanser? Well the staff of Kiehl's told me that  the body lotion will be silicon-free where as the body cleanser will be sulfate-free. As you know not many brands in Malaysia do that.

So fingers crossed they don't disappoint me!

Make way! Online Beauty Store LUXOLA now ships to Malaysia! [LAUNCH]


Hey Peeps!

 For you makeup and beauty product lovers out there who loves brands such as:
Fear no more! You no longer need to bemoan the fact that these brands don't ship to Malaysia or wait for ages until your friends who travel's overseas to buy them for you. You can get them yourself from Luxola! (Guess who's doing a jig now XD) If you check out LUXOLA's website you'd see that some of the products you heard of but never seen here in Asia are sold exclusively on Luxola.


You can check Luxola out here:

Website: www.luxola.com
Twitter: https://twitter.com/Luxolasg 
Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Luxola



Now you'd wonder how I'd know this? Well... I got invited to LUXOLA's launch in Malaysia at a beautiful place called Villa Samadhi in Kuala Lumpur near Jalan Tun Razak.



  Its Beautiful!

LUXOLA is an online beauty shop that is based in Singapore and since its launch last week it now ships to Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and Singapore.

When you first visit this site you have the option of choosing the country. Once you've selected the country all the items on the site which change to that country's currency.  Convenient for shopping right? 


Best of all if you purchase over RM 190 you will receive free shipping! Don't have enough $$? Then pool money and buy it together with your friends or family. But wait! What if I just want to buy an item or two? Don't worry Luxola will still ship to Malaysia for RM 30.00. For the other countries such as Singapore, Indonesia and Thailand you can check out the shipping page for more information.

Luxola currently uses DHL as their preferred shipping partner and so, you will receive a tracking number from DHL when you purchase from their site. Deliveries to Malaysia will take about 2-3 days. So say goodbye to the weeks of waiting for our package to arrive from overseas, the worry of wondering if it will ever arrive and the sky high cost of shipping! (shudder @_@)

Luxola also has an online magazine section such as DIY tutorials and information on products that are available in Luxola website itself. I find this very useful when I want to purchase something but don't know what to pair it up with or how to use it.






Last but not least, drumroll please.....

The section that never fails to catch the eyes of shoppers everywhere... The SALE Section! (of course!) 

 

And what is on sale but the DUO eyelash glue! 



Its on sale for only RM17.50. If you've seen my previous post you'd know that this is my preferred eyelash glue for fake eyelashes and that I previously bought this glue in Malaysia for RM 40. So for a price RM 17.50 at Luxola its a steal!



Face Atelier - Facade


I love this product! I got the chance to try it out at the launch when they brought some of the items they sold on their website for us to try. 

Now you might be wondering what is so great about this product? Its actually a great blush for beginners and for those who want a natural soft, translucent glow similar to Benefit's Benetint only better! 

Why you ask?

This is because the products goes onto your skin as a light liquid in texture and takes about 20 seconds to set into powder giving you time to blend and buff to insure you end up with the perfectly highlighted cheek or stained lip! Which is what makes it so great for beginners.

NP : RM 112.50
SALE: RM 72.50 
  



Paperself Eyelashes



I received this in my goodie bag. I haven't gotten the chance to use them yet. Since they're made of paper I wasn't sure if I can reuse them so I'm saving them for Halloween >_<


How to use them? Just the same way you use every other fake eyelash just more gently.

NP : RM 70
SALE: RM 30



Now the launch, I'd like to share some great photos of the event with you.


 Jess, Joni, me, Jerine and Nicole

All the goodies to play with

How to use a nail polish thinner OPI [TUTORIAL]


Hi everyone,

Do you have an old nail polish at home that's dry and cracked or how about one so thick that its hard to paint your nails? Especially if its a shade you absolutely love or one that's expensive? What do you do with it? Throw it away? No! you thin it.

Most of you have heard that its possible to thin your dried up nail polish but I've realised that very few actually know how or what to use. I've talk to some and even I at one point in my life thought that you use nail polish remover to do it. BUT that's WRONG! It you do that then you can never use that bottle of nail polish again.





What you actually use is a nail polish thinner and this is how it looks like





Below is a tutorial on how to use nail polish thinner. This is a follow up video from the show and tell & haul session on my previous post.




What do you think? Tweet me, FB me, Comment me and let me know! Thank you!

OPI, Seche & China Glaze nail polish. Dutch Treats, Holly & Gouda Gouda Two Shoes and nail polish thinner [Show and Tell, HAUL & VIDEO]



Hi everyone, this is a show and tell haul session of my not so recent purchase of nail polish and nail polish thinners.

The nail polish included in this video are:

1. OPI - Gouda Gouda Two Shoes

2. OPI - Mini Dutch Treats consisting of:

i)    I Have a Herring Problem
ii)   Red Lights Ahead... Where
iii)  Kiss Me on My Tulips
iv)  Pedal Faster Suzi!

3. China Glaze - Holly

and nail polish thinners from

4. OPI; and

5. Seche.

Stay tuned on my next video that will show you How to use an OPI Nail Polish Thinner!

If you're wondering why there aren't any pictures up at my blog or this video its because I currently suck at taking nail polish swatch/pictures and I don't think I should post them up (yup its that day. All the pictures I took did not represent the color of the nail polish at all). I am in the process learning how to do that properly but I'm not there yet. So please bear with me until I get there.


P/s: I currently use a point and shoot Sony Camera to film my videos and a Canon/Sony point and shoot for the pictures. I wonder if I should get a DSLR Canon 600D or 650D with a 18-55mm Image Stabilizer or 18-135mm Image Stabilizer lens. Any thoughts on the matter? Please give me a shout out. This will be my first ever DSLR. I'm hoping to get this by the end of this year if I manage to save up enough $$$.

So in terms of price I have the following options:

600D with EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II Lens  @ about RM2,588

600D with EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens   @ about RM3,188

 650D with EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II Lens  @ about RM2,758

650D with EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens   @ about RM3,588

What do you think? Tweet me, FB me, Comment me and let me know! Thank you!
