An overview of Mary Quant Cosmetics; now relaunched in Malaysia in Muse by Watsons

Has been a while I played with colours and last week I had the opportunity to play with them. And if you are a makeup addict that loves to play colour, you cannot afford to miss this out! Let me tell you more about this in a while.

Some of you who are the frequent shopper in Sunway Pyramid this few month, sure will not miss spotting MUSE by Watsons.

This not so new first premium beauty retail brand MUSE by Watsons which was opened back in June this year carries only premium skincare and cosmetics products. Recently Mary Quant acosmetic brand from United Kingdom make a comeback after being launched by Mandom (Malaysia) hence you can see Mary Quant was being highlighted at the window display. In fact I have friends who told me that this brand used to be in Msia long long time ago...so I guess they are making a come back! I read that this brand was established way back in 1970 ; wow that is way before I was born (ahem I am quite young also ^.^)

“The Black Daisy” is the brand symbol of Mary Quant. A black flower, unique in the world, impossible to produce through the power of science; it is the symbol of the freedom fashion designer Mary Quant gave to women, and of the Mary Quant brand which continues to defy convention to create new forms of beauty.

Mary believes that cosmetics are part of fashion, with unrestricted combinations to enhance female beauty, allow women to express their true selves and enjoy life. “Be free, be yourself”, this spirit is part of their brand, means to value your own way of life. They hope to continue to provide products that resonate with their customers who value their own way of life, regardless of age, helping to give them the freedom to be themselves.

Up next, on my favourite products of all is definitely the EYESHADOW! Well I love mixing colours to create different looks when I have time to do my makeup :D

Mary Quant Eye Opener offers a total of 57 eyeshadows colours! I tried some of the colours, some which are creamy in texture are more pigmented compare to those which are powdery in texture. Well each is selling at RM49 without casing. 

Can you guess which is my favourite colour? 

Ahem, my love at first sight is the Bright Blue , Pastel Orange, Wasabi Green, Lemon Gold, Bright Pink and Purplish Blue... quite a lot I know but there are 57 shades and its hard not to notice the bright & striking colours :P

Mary Quant Blush Baby is something worth checking out too. Available in 14 shades, Rose Pink is my favourite pick! Each priced at RM75 without casing.

Voila you can just bring your own customised palette for the holiday without lugging like 4-5 eyeshadow & blusher palette! 

The casing comes in 3 sizes and the cheapest RM45 (fits 2 blushers) and the above shown colour palette (either can fits 12 eyeshadows colour or 8 blusher colours) is priced at RM49.

Coming up next, Mary Quant Moisture Rich Lipstick.

The eyes makeup would not be complete without eyeliner. Mary Quant Out Line is a colour pencil that comes in 19 different shades. I was told that some colours can work as lip colour too! Also the formula is a waterproof one. Each is priced at RM59.

If you are not a fan of pencil eyeliner, there is liquid eyeliner.  Mary Quant The Talkative Eyes which is a liquid eyeliner with MQ's original brush.

This comes with Anti colour-fading effects and waterproofing effect to prevent smudging. Each is priced at RM109

Another product which a lot of people has been like drooling on is the pretty Mary Quant ColourShine for Lips. Available in 8 beautiful shades.

Because they really loked beautiful, they deserved another picture! I tried the Campagne Shine and really like the fine gold dust that gives lustre & volumious effect on my lips! Each is priced at RM99.

I think I almost features all the Mary Quant products except the concealer & powder foundation which I can't find the pictures in my camera.

At the event, we have privileged to see Ms. Takaki who flown in from Japan to show us makeup demostration using Mary Quant products.

This is the model before & after

Products used for the makeover

A close-up

The eyes makeup - I like the bright under eyeliner which brighten up the whole look.

Next is my turn to try Mary Quant products

My whole makeover which I did using Mary Quant products.

My colourful eyes makeup - inspired by Malaysian Independent Day ; as it falls on the same day I attended the workhop.

Overall, their eyeshadow has lots of colours to play with.... and their texture is creamy and easy to apply.. only a few colours are powdery & difficult to use. Their blusher, lipstick & lipgloss are really pretty with  lots of beautiful shade. Their liquid eyeliner and mascara colours are fun to use but need to master the skill to use it. 

A picture with Ms Takaki - happy that she praised my makeup skills  :D

Finally a group pic with the bloggers after having fun playing with Mary Quant cosmetics.

p/s: Which Mary Quant products that caught your attention to play with?

Let's indulge in Nestle La Cremeria Ice Cream ; now with improved recipe and packaging!

Anyone here an ice-cream lover or La Cremeria fans?

Well I have good news for you because they had just improved their recipe and packaging starting 1 September 2013!

During the last week Nestle La Cremeria 1.2L Relaunch in Laundry Bar in The Curve, the gorgeous Julie Woon was the emcee for the event. She briefly introduced what is the event is about before passing the mic to the representative of Nestle.

The improved range comes with creamier texture that melts smoothly and gives a satisfying moment of indulgence. The range comes with an improved packaging with stronger and tighter tub cap lock to ensure product freshness. 

The Ms. Yit Woon Lai the Business Executive Manager of Nestle Ice Cream Business Unit (thanks to Grace for the name) said that every woman deserve to indulge in a tube of La Cremeria ice cream after a busy day juggling between work & family as a reward for herself! I totally agreed on this!

Before we are officially introduced to the six variants of La Cremeria ice cream; there is a showcase of models wearing very colourful dresses.

And in case you are wondering where there is a fashion show in an ice-cream launch, actually those colour dress represent different flavour.

A group of the pretty models with representative from Nestle Malaysia.

La Cremeria comes with six variants and each offers different sensations and experiences!

Here are the 6 different variants for La Cremeria with description

1. LA CREMERIA Chocolate Hazelnut Temptation: Vanilla and Chocolate ice cream with heaps of peanuts and velvety chocolate hazelnut sauce 

2. LA CREMERIA Strawberry Dream: Vanilla and Strawberry ice cream with lots of strawberry pieces

3. LA CREMERIA Vanilla Cashew Delight: Vanilla ice cream with generous chocolate chips, cashew nuts, and velvety chocolate sauce 

4. LA CREMERIA Chocolate Obsession: Chocolate ice cream with chocolate chips and chocolate sauce 

5. LA CREMERIA Hazelnut Ganache Sensation: Crème Brulee flavoured ice cream with almond chunks and chocolate chips swirled in chocolate hazelnut sauce 

6. LA CREMERIA Almond Pecan Praline: Delicious pecan flavoured ice cream with almond chunks and velvety swirls of chocolate sauce 

Personally I felt that the new improved La Cremeria ice creams are much creamier and actually melt slowler in my mouth. And one more thing I discovered is that it is not as sweet as before; yes I do like sweet stuff but not overly sweet and this adjustment of the level of sweetness is just perfect. 

And the improved cap lock system  is great because it locks the tube tighter; definitely the freshness of the ice-cream is preserved!

And out of the 6 variants of La Cremeria ice cream I have tried, I love La Cremeria Almond Pecan Praline the best because the combination of almond, pecan & praline is just perfect! I love how I can actually feel bits of almond chunks and chocolate sauce in every spoon I took! Sinful but very delicious! Highly recommending this, especially if you are trying La Cremeria for the first time!

And if you are not a fan of Praline, I would personally recommend Hazelnut Ganache Sensation (creme brulee anyone?) or Strawberry Dream (yep I'm a strawberry lover!) as they are my next choice!

For chocolate lover, you should not miss Chocolate Obsession because the chocolate flavour is really rich & you can actually feel the bitterness of the chocolate! And Vanilla lover should try Vanilla Cashew Delight which are really milky& creamy in texture!

And for those who are torn between vanilla or chocolate ice cream; well Hazelnut Temptation is for you because it has both!

Oh did I said that got pretty yummy boy served us yummy ice cream on that day!

LA CREMERIA 1.2L range is available at a recommended price of RM16.89 (West Malaysia) and RM16.99 (East Malaysia) at major hypermarkets and supermarkets nationwide.

The top two bestselling variants i.e  LA CREMERIA Almond Pecan Praline and LA CREMERIA Vanilla Cashew Delight is available in 100ml serving cup and each is sold at RM3.00 (West Malaysia) and RM3.20 (East Malaysia) and available at selected convenient stores nationwide.

In conjunction with the re-launch, several road shows will be held around Malaysia from September to November 2013 to give consumers the opportunity to experience this indulging and satisfying LA CREMERIA range. The road shows give consumers a chance to win some goodies and enjoy exciting activities at the booth.

My beauty pills for now ; Imedeen Classic!

Read that this Imedeen Classic is an anti-aging skincare formula in capsule helps prevent loss of radiance and hydration associated with the first signs of aging. <<--- Yes I need this!

 I just started and let's see how it works on me then! More updates later!

p/s: Anyone here try Imedeen products before this? 

Do you know Liposonix Treatment is a safe, non-surgical and non-invasive treatment!

I briefly introduced what is Lipsonix in previous post. Remember I said it is uses high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) energy to permanently destroy targeted fat cells without surgery, allowing consumers to drop one size with one treatment that takes only one hour!

Watch the video how the treatment works!

I read that Liposonix is a safe, non-surgical and non-invasive treatment conducted by certified aesthetic physician . It comes with a system with Custom Contouring™ capabilities which target and eliminate fat. This revolutionary treatment using high-intensity focused ultrasound to treat & eliminate stubborn fat is best recommended for people who are close to their ideal size & shape (used when diet & exercise no longer work. Liposonix is definitely a long-term solution for weight loss and a lean, trim body.

This Liposonix treatment is a non-surgical treatment unlike liposuction hence the risk is lower. During the treatment,one may feel discomfort, pain, coldness, prickling, tingling or warmth experienced during treatment. But these effects are usually described as mild compared to going under the surgery knife! There are no permenant side effect but temporary redness, bruising, discomfort, and swelling. Best of all, there is no special requirements are needed after treatment. However, post-treatment care is based on the advice of your healthcare professional. At this moment, Liposonix® currently treats the abdomen area.

 

The 4 Ws of Liposonix

WHO? 

Who is Liposonix for?  

• Liposonix treatment helps “get that last inch”.  
• Liposonix is an alternative for patients who need significant fat reduction but do not want invasive surgeries are usually associated with high-costs, surgical risks and side effects. 
• Liposonix works best for those targeting love handles and fat around the waist. Patients need to be able to “pinch-an-inch” of fat in the treatment area. 
• Patients need to be in overall good health with a BMI equivalent or less than 30.  

WHY?

Why should I choose Liposonix?

Liposonix is unlike other fat reduction procedures because 

• There is no need for multiple treatments to see results. On average, a single hour-long treatment results in a waistline reduction of 1 inch (2.5 cm) – about one dress or pant size.  
• It is safe, non-surgical and non-invasive. It also creates results via natural healing and elimination process.  

WHEN? 

When will I see results? 

• The final effect may vary with each patient. However, results are typically seen in 8 to 12 weeks (which is the time needed for the body to naturally process the treated fat).   

HOW? 

How does Liposonix work? 

1.    The treatment head of the Liposonix system is placed on the targeted area. 

2.    High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) energy focuses on the targeted fat and destroys the fat cells under the layers of the skin. 

3.    A continuous lesion is created on the targeted fat and no harm is done to the skin layers. 

4.    The fat tissues will be removed through the body’s natural healing and elimination process.

I got Hercules to send my groceries home! Special promotion for readers!

I have been shopping in Tesco Malaysia Ampang branch ever since I moved to Cheras few years ago. Though I enjoyed shopping there because it was spacious but seriously it was overcrowded and difficult to find parking especially on weekends.  

On weekday crowd are lesser but then my boyfriend is working and he could not go with me, which means I got no Hercules to carry my shopping bags! Even I got the time & energy to go and carry those shopping bags home.. I cannot help but not to think how bad the security nowadays in Malaysia.  

So end up I only got to shop with my boyfriend once a week for our groceries . I only can buy few days food supplies if I am cooking at home because fresh vegetables don’t last too many days.

 

When I knew Tesco Malaysia is launching online shopping at their website, I was really happy because it would do doorstep delivery!

 Looked really simple, only 5 steps for my shopping stuffs to be sent to my doorstep!

So I hop on to their website to check them out, first thing on my mind whether my area was covered in their delivery route. Checked , my area was covered!

 Next of course to register an account with Tesco Malaysia website at eshop.tesco.com.my

There are wide range of products to choose from all nicely put in different categories.

 

I even found that the price in the website is the same as in the store, including promotion items and it also show when promotion period will end!  YAY… thumb up for that because I was worried I might miss their in store promotion if I shop online! Also I can Collect Tesco Clubcard points, same as in store!

It was pretty simple to do shopping at the website and in fact I could actually plan my spending… because each item I added into the cart would be shown on the right tab. 

In total I picked up 21 items, in my list I need to replenish our toilet papers, fabric softener, drinks & biscuits. I did picked some green vegetables too.   

Personally I think when I was shopping at the supermarket itself, I always end up forgetting my shopping list and sometimes overspend my budget because I only get to know the total price of my shopping cart at the cashier. 

 

There are delivery slots available in 2-hour delivery windows. These are available from 10am to 10pm, 7 days a week. Each delivery slot has a maximum capacity, so place you order well in advance to guarantee the slot you want. I read that we can order our shopping up to 3 weeks in advance…wow! Can plan everything ahead!

You just need to pay RM10 delivery fee for everything to be delivered to your doorstep!

 Once I picked the delivery slot, it is reserved for 2 hours. And even it confirmed, I still can edit/change or cancel my order anytime until 23:00 on the day before it is due to be delivered!    

If you see above I have picked delivery time between 8-10pm and then I realized the next morning that night my boyfriend wanted to go for a movie so I try my luck calling their customer service at 1300-13-1313 and asked for a change of time. The customer service agent who picked up the call was really polite & told me he would call me back within 10 mins. And yes he called back and told me he has re-arrange and my shopping stuffs would be sent in the afternoon around 2-4pm instead! Thumb up for being so efficient and professional in handling my request though it was really last minute.

 At around 3pm, Tesco Malaysia van arrived at my home. Very punctual!

2 Hercules from Tesco Malaysia sent my shopping… while the princess me sit at home and wait for them to arrive!

They actually brought everything in my house and I just need to stand there enjoy watching! Aiks… car porch area is in a mess right now as renovation is on going after house was broke in last week!

Tesco staff explained to me that some of the items are out of stock and they brought subtitute alternative brand for me to pick where I can choose to accept or reject. 

 It is kinda cool to see that Tesco Malaysia staff brought the portable credit card paying device! So convenient!

Do note that only card payment is acceptable (be it credit card or debit card) as long it is Visa or Master issued by banks in Malaysia. I am pretty okay with this because I prefer payment by card as I think it is troublesome to pay using cash & of course for safety reason too I don’t carry too much cash in my purse nowadays!

This is my shopping haul from Tesco online store! Those in blue are frozen/chill products (for eg hotdogs).

Wahaha I picked a lot of heavy stuffs to be delivered to my house, watermelon, fabric softer and packet & bottle drinks! Fuiyoh…. sweat when I was moving all these to the kitchen! Lucky it was just few steps away!

Overall I like the grocerry online shopping concept because so convenient and Tesco does carry a lot of brands for consumers to choose. And this kind of service is perfect for anyone and if you are a pregnant lady or if you have old grandparents at home or if you are living in an apartment, where carrying those grocerry using stairs is a hell! I knew it because I stayed in an apartment before and I hate doing grocerry shopping everytime because got to walk up the apartment carrying those bags. Now with just RM10 delivery fee , we shop online, Tesco Malaysia deliver it to our doorstep!

Not only I had experience myself Tesco Online shopping, good news is Tesco is giving my readers special promotion so that you too can enjoy the shopping experience like me! Each readers will get RM10 rebate upon RM50 spend with Tesco Online ( key in the discount code : CHTP101M). 

Enjoy shopping ya !

Liposonix - 1 treatment, 1 hour, & lose 1 size !

Do you have the last inch of fat at your tummy that always cannot be removed

It is possible with Solta Medical where it offers a revolutionary non-invasive reduction technology - Liposonix®, which uses high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) energy to permanently destroy targeted fat cells without surgery, allowing consumers to drop one size with one treatment that takes only one hour!

YES 1 treatment , 1 hour and you lose around 1 size!

Liposonix is a revolutionary non-surgical solution for people who are close to their ideal shape, but have stubborn areas of fat that just won’t go away no matter how much they exercise or diet. The procedure takes about one hour, and while individual results can vary, patients typically achieve a waistline reduction of approximately one inch (equivalent to one pant or dress size) within 8-12 weeks after receiving a single treatment!

And if you are not a fan of surgery knife, well Liposonix is a better choice to help eliminate stubborn fat at your targeted areas. It is perfect for those who are close to their ideal size and shape, but need help where diet and exercise just won’t work. Liposonix® was awarded the Best Non-Invasive Slimming Treatment by Harper’s BAZAAR Spa Awards 2013.

This century is witnessing emerging treatments in cosmetic surgery, especially for body contouring. Invasive fat reduction procedures typically carry certain surgical risks and are associated with significant post-treatment recovery downtime. Unlike such treatments, Liposonix® offers a non-invasive procedure for a truly customized treatment in a single one-hour session. The patients typically resume their daily activities immediately after the procedure!

THE LIPOSONIX® DIFFERENCE

 Non-Surgical = Non-Invasive  

As a non-surgical and non-invasive treatment, Liposonix® performs its custom contouring art using HIFU. The treatment head of the Liposonix® system is first placed on the targeted area, where the HIFU will breakdown the fat cells under the layers of the skin. A continuous lesion is created on the targeted fat but this guarantees no harm done on your skin layers. The fat tissues will then be removed through your body’s natural healing and elimination process.

Custom Contouring – 1 Treatment, 1 Hour, 1 Size Smaller!     

Patients come in all shapes and sizes, and different types of fat. The Liposonix® System is highly versatile, allowing control over precisely how and where energy is delivered. Liposonix® is a truly customized treatment in a single one-hour session.

If you want your shape to fit your style, then Liposonix’s 1 treatment, 1 hour, 1 size smaller offer is the answer you’ve been looking for. With just one hour in one session, Liposonix® is able to target fat around your abdomen or love handles without surgery. The average waistline reduction after just a single-hour treatment is about 1 inch – which typically means one size smaller!
 

A REDUCTION FOR THE HEALTHY ONES

A suitable candidate for the Liposonix® treatment must be able to “pinch-an-inch” of fat in the treatment area, have a body mass index (BMI) equal to or less than 30, have a good overall health, and have realistic expectations about the results. 

Results are typically seen in 8 to 12 weeks, but it really is a truly personal experience. It represent each individual’s last step to getting the slimmer look and is dependent on the patients’ body’s natural healing and elimination process.

It’s Time for Results  

Liposonix® is not liposuction or a surgical treatment, neither is it a replacement for your healthy lifestyle and exercise or a way to lose weight. Instead, Liposonix® is a quick and easy way to help you lose that last inch and hit your personal shape goals – proven in one quick and safe treatment.

Avon’s Mega Effects Mascara is the 1st WONDERBRUSH that changes mascara history!

For women, mascara is a vital step in their beauty routine. Whether you prefer your lashes natural and fluttery or bold and voluminous, a look would feel somewhat ‘incomplete’ without a lick of mascara. A good mascara should add both length and volume, so say goodbye to itty-bitty-barely-there lashes with Avon’s Mega Effects Mascara.

The WonderBrush: Mega Effects Mascara replaces the standard wand with an innovative new multi-dimensional brush that lifts top and bottom lashes from root to tip in a whole new way. The first-ever brush of its kind, the WonderBrush fits the curve of your eyes and can be used at 12 different angles for a corner-to-corner lash transformation. The bigger bristle area combs through lashes easily for phenomenal clump-free volume, putting 40 percent more mascara to lash*.

Get The Look: To use, grip at the sides and remove the mascara cap. Rock the brush from side to side to pull out. Bend the brush to your desired angle and apply from root to tip. To close, insert the applicator until it locks in place.

The Results: Bold lashes with panoramic volume. Eyes look bigger and lashes look darker, denser and more dramatic. Clump-proof, sweat-proof, non-flaking and non-smudging. Ophthalmologist tested.

The Experts: “I love Mega Effects Mascara; the bendable wand allows you to get in close from many different angles, making it super easy to use. I always keep at least one in my makeup kit!” -Lauren Anderson, Avon Global Celebrity Makeup Artist

“There hasn’t been true innovation in mascara since the 1950s. We realized there was a need for an improved application process and Avon is changing history by introducing a breakthrough with ergonomics in mind that will change the mascara application experience.” -Lisa Lamberty, Avon Executive Director of Color Research & Development

This is really an interesting design for a mascara, haven't seen anything like this before! Ah I want to get my hand on this to try and see how it works!

Avon Mega Effects Mascara goes on sale this 1 September 2013 at RM38.00(S&S RM43.70). Contact your Avon Dealer or visit the nearest Avon Beauty Boutique.

How to Work It in a Work Dress This Summer

As summer temperatures rise, the thought of hiding under stiff suits and shirts at work is not a pleasant one. However, many women are nervous of wearing a dress to work, for fear of it not being smart enough. Fear not – there’s a work appropriate dress for every woman, from the shift to the shirt. So throw off the constraints of your formal office wear, banish sweaty meetings and keep your cool in a classy work dress this summer. Here’s what to look for: 

The Shift Dress

Classic shift dresses are perfect for hot weather days, as they don’t cling to the body. Instead, a shift dress should drape elegantly, meaning that it not only looks demure, but will also keep you nice and cool and comfortable.

The Shirt Dress 

L-R:- Blake Lively, Reese Witherspoon, Leighton Meester, Vanessa Hudgens

A twist on the staple work shirt, a shirt dress is smart and suitable for even formal office environments. If you really want to keep your cool, choose a sleeveless variety – or, if you need a little more formality, capped or three-quarter sleeves are a fantastic option. 

The Classic Wrap 

 Short Sleeve Wrap Dress with Drape Detail from George

 

The wrap dress is a wardrobe staple for many women – both those with curves and those who want to create curves. This simple shape and demure style means that you don’t need to buy specific ‘work’ wrap dresses. Raid your wardrobe for wrap dresses and see how you can transform them into work wear – perhaps add a belt or a cropped jacket to make them ‘office ready’. 

The Peplum 

Fashion forward women in business will love how well the peplum dress translates to work wear. Whether you choose black, a block colour or a bold pattern, the peplum can work in the office or boardroom. Just watch the length – you don’t want to look like you’re heading for a night on the tiles come 5pm! 

The Midi

 Midi Dress from George

The midi dress is having a fashion moment, which is great news for those struggling with dressing for hot offices. There’s no need to worry about flashing too much leg in a midi – or having to swelter under tights. This flattering below the knee length will ensure that you look suitably smart for even the most conservative work environments.

 Just look at the recent Apprentice finalists Luisa and Leah for how to work a midi for work! 

There’s no need to swelter in your suit this summer. With so many fantastic ‘office friendly’ dress styles in the malls, it’s easy to work it in a work dress. You’re also likely to find many multi-tasking dresses in your wardrobe that can be given an office makeover. Simply throw on last year’s blazers to smarten up, add heels or pointed flats and you’re good to go. Just don’t forget that briefcase!
