Neutrogena Revitalizing Pink Grapefruit Ultra Foam Cleanser review

Everyone knows that cleansing your face at the start and end of your day is a important daily routine to live by. Especially now with our annual haze moving in, keeping your pores open and clean has never been more important. Imagine all the dirt and impurities that have gathered on your face and pores by the end of the day. Apart from removing impurities, having the proper cleansing facial will help keep your skin healthy, clean and refreshed.

Coffee Bean Turns 50!

Turning 50 is a momentous event for just about anyone and this does not exclude international coffee brand, Coffee Bean and Tea Leaves (CBTL). 2013 marks its 50th anniversary worldwide while the Malaysian branch celebrates 15 glorious years since introducing locals to gourmet coffee. To introduce its updated menu and its anniversary specials, CBTL invited several bloggers for a food review session at the Taman Tun Dr Ismail outlet.

CBTL 50th birthday cake
People who know me well know that I am a huge coffee-drinker. I need my coffee fix at least twice a day. For their 50th celebration, Coffee Bean has released two limited edition drinks; Rocky Road Ice Blended and rainbow-sprinkled Birthday Cake Ice Blended. That latter is non-caffeinated, making it ideal for children as well. But since I prefer my ice-blended coffee caffeinated, I opted to try the Rocky Road Ice Blended drink.

Monster University movie Review

12 years ago, Pixar released a unique heartwarming movie about the monsters in the closet and a little girl who befriended the scariest of them all. Yes, I am talking about Monster Inc and after so long, Pixar has finally completed its prequel, Monster University which reintroduces you to the two lovable monsters from the first movie, James P. 'Sulley' Sullivan (John Goodman) and Mike Wazowski (Billy Crystal). 

We're back!

Klips was kind enough to extend an invitation to me for the press screening a week before its release date so big thanks to them.

HiShop June Ambassador Box review

Whoa, just like that it is already June and we are already halfway through 2013. Anyway, I received my second beauty ambassador box from Hishop two weeks ago and decided not to comment on it until I have tried out everything inside and now that I have, here are my thoughts.

b.tempt'd by Wacoal Launch, KLCC

Matching vibrants
Last week, thanks to the Butterfly Project, I was invited to the launch of the b.tempt'd underwear brand in Malaysia at Isetan, KLCC. Now, as we all should know over-the-shoulder-boulder-holders, otherwise known as bras, are an essential to all girls. How would I know? Because I am a girl, that's why and I have these!

Bag of Love [May]: Best of Beauty

Hey, guys!

So in April, I was invited to the Bag of Love Unzipping Event, courtesy of the Butterfly Project and got to review the April edition of the bag otherwise known as the Earth Bag. To my delight, founder of Bag of Love, Mimi announced that we will be getting the May edition as well. Yay!!



My Bag of Love May edition arrived last week and this time it was themed  'Best of Beauty' with a collection of popular brands that ranged from haircare to body wash. I loved the soft satin feel of the bag and how 'Chanel' it looked, a good indication of the goodies inside.



As always, a product list and a love letter from Mimi herself, thanking her customers for their support. Love the glam Chibi-Mimi!

Why I NEED a Havaianas

So in conjunction with the Butterfly Project's Spa Party, one of their sponsors, Havaianas is also having their own "Havaianas Experience" blog/vlog Contest. 20 lucky bloggers or vloggers will get a pair of their very own Havaianas flip flop to wear to the event! 

I want to be one of those lucky girls to get a pair of Havaianas (provided I do get invited to the spa party...) quite simply because....

1) Look all those colours! Who wouldn't want to add such an eye-catching pair of flip flops to their footwear!

I want to attend the Butterfly Project's Spa Party!

Hey, guys!

I know my updates have on the low-down of late but I have just been so busy juggling university assignments with my blog and the occasional freelance work. Even now, I am in the middle of class, trying to pay attention to my lecturer while trying to type out this post  ....on my tiny iPhone. Multitasking level over9000! unlocked.

So as you can tell, I am super stressed out.

I just died....
Come 31 July 2013, I shall be free from my motherload of a thesis and assignments! But until then, you will most likely see me nibbling on my nails (bad habit I know...), staring zombie-like at my computer screen as I stress-eat on chocolates and ice-cream with stacks of ideology, cultural, feminist and nerd academic books as my pillow and my cat as my unwilling stress ball. (I know Senri agrees with me)

God, the mere thought of that depresses me....where's my kitty?


Which is why I really need one day-out just to pamper myself and to just hang out with fun people. Which is why I really want to go for the Butterfly Project's Spa Party!

Full Moon Party with Party Hat


A friend of mine just had a baby last month, a beautiful baby girl christened Ariel (a few of our friends insist on dubbing her Marsha. It's a long story) Anyway, isn't she adorable! (Anyone who says otherwise, gets a table flip at them)
 
A picture of Baby Ariel swiped from friend's facebook.
To congratulate the new parents, I was thinking of getting them a gift and have been wrecking my brain over what to get them. Well, Party Hat has just the present in the form of their personalized Full Moon Party packages. Seems like throwing them a full moon party for Marsha -I mean, Ariel seems like the perfect present! What more, you can choose from 3 different packages to suit your preference.

Burgertory, SS15 Subang Jaya review

On Mother's Day, the family went to Burgertory after debating between steamboat buffet and pork burger. Obviously in my family, the latter was an instant choice. We got there at about 7pm and thankfully the crowd hasn't come it yet.



William, one of the founders was the friendly face behind the counter and he was helpful in making recommendations to my mother. I already knew what I wanted from all the blogs I've been reading.



While there was the option of ala carte, we ordered the three burgers sets and a salad from the extensive menu of pork, beef and vegetarian burgers. A burger set comes with fries, onion rings, meatballs and a free flow of soft drinks. Orders are made at the counter and we quickly seated ourselves at the long table which the Burgertory crew had built themselves along with the rest of entire restaurant.
