My first time pedicure experience took place recently, at the posh "Amante nail spa & body care". Tammy has done it again, beautifully, by inviting a few bloggers to try out the populat Nailtek Spa Pedicure worth RM95 at Amante Mont Kiara, Solaris, branch. Is it just a simple spa pedicure? No, it was also a party to celebrate Tammy's blog anniversary!

Now, let's have a quick glance at my before toes:

This Spa Pedicure has given me lots of thinking, that I should never neglect taking care of my feet. Although our feet is far from visible to everyone, but knowing I have baby smooth sole and nice toe nails, boost my mood for the day!
Essie is really chip-resistant! It's been nearly 2 weeks, but the colour stays! Amazing!
Check out my blogpals reviews, too!

Jen (Australia) from QuestJen, recently threw a great giveaway and I was the 2nd prize winner! I just got the package last few weekd and would like to share my reviews of them. First of, this was the prize she showed on her blog:
1.  Simple Hydrating Light Moisturiser for sensitive skin


2. Laneige Professional Makeup Remover Multi Cleanser
When squeezed out, it feels milky on my palm. It has a very very light pink tint colour and have no fragrance smell at all. Then when I massage it into my face (with makeup on), I can feel really fine tiny pin size grain on my palms. Really consider a multi cleanser as it also exfoliates! I think this can be over drying for some, but I felt really clean and matte after washing (maybe because I am oily skin?). Will I purchase the full size? Hmm it's about 180ml for RM100 here, and I usually prefer a foam cleanser, so I'll have to think about it.


3. NYX Body Glitter Gel - Sunshine
I love this glitter gel! The glitters are tiny gold dust-like, no fragrance, no greasyness, and it said it can go on hair! The pump is convenient, I really wish I can get this in Malaysia.


4. Australis Nail Colour -Pink Pluto
This is a generous big bottle of nail colour (hopes it don't dry too quickly!). I would describe the colour as light pink pearly champagne. The brush is long (which is a plus, because I like brushes to touch the bottom of the bottle) and it's smooth. The sheen is pretty great, under white light, my nails just shine white lol I really miss this brand, I used to love Australis eyeshadows before I was introduced to Japanese brands. Anyhoo, I put on some Anna Sui nail stickers, now isn't that girly? ^^
Y'all have a nice weekend!

ps: I am having trouble installing "Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007 - Publisher" on my new pc, some "PubWW.cab" file missing and this is a big drag, because I need Publisher to do my digital scrapbooking photo borders :( 

Merry Christmas, everybody! Bright red and dark green tis the season! So I did my nails with bright red chillie colour and some leafy flower stickers hehe


Yup I'm holding a Givenchy lipgloss, loving it at the moment because it shimmers and taste soooo good lol

Blogging in Malaysia this 2010 year has been a great eye opener. Lots of active bloggers around town and it is great to share all those enthusiasm on skincare and makeup. My SO thought I was the weird one, because of the constant online reading about beauty blogs, but apparently now he realise I am NORMAL lol

Last week, I was invited to be one of the panel to test out an amazing new product by Origins. It is all very hush hush, so I can't really say much about this new product yet, but all will be reveal in due time, as it will be launch world wide in February/March 2011! So I got to keep mumps about this, as I've signed a kinda 'silence' contract.

Anyway, I want to share a cute story before I go into reviewing Origins Skin Rejuvenating Moisturiser.

My SO was kinda feeling concern for me when I told him I was going to a skincare workshop at MidValley on a Saturday afternoon. He felt sometimes things are not that 'too good to be true' and might be something dodgy (we aussies love this word, don't we, to describe something fishy hehe).

SO : Did you pay any money for the workshop?
Elle : Nope, it's an invite, ok.
SO : Your sis going? Anyone I've met going?
Elle : Not that I know of, coz the attendance were not made public to me.
SO : Why is it in this office building in MidValley and not those public cosmetic counters?
Elle : I don't know either.

Usually, stellarvixen would go with me on these kind of events or tammy@miu would meet up there with me. I was curious too, why wasn't they going? Anyhoo, SO accompanied me all the way up to the workshop doorstep, and only willing to leave the floor when he saw it's the real thingy. Actually, I don't like it when he comes along with me to the malls, because he get bored waiting for me and that made me feel really really guilty arghhh I don't like to make him wait and I don't like to be rush >.<

So that's the cute story ^^ kind of irrelevant lol


Origins are actually a sub company of Estee Lauder (I didn't know that, too). Of course, they are also other brands under their belt.


The setting was really nice and posh. Good food, good people, I was all smiles!


The area was decorated really nice, with white cloth over the table and chairs, abit like a wedding reception. Every sitting has our names and folders with info on this new product. Now I know why I was asked to be a panel of testers. I heard from other bloggers that present, was because we are above 30 years old! So the others were underage LOL Age is just a number, I don't really care. In fact, I am extremely glad and happy that I went to meet up with Origins team, as I really learn alot of things from them, about preventing aging and knowledge of our skin.

Well, we are to use this new product together with our suited moisturiser for 4 weeks. Therefore, I am here to review only on Origins Make A Difference Skin Rejuvenating Moisturiser.


This is for combination/oily skin, and that's me. For 50ml, this bottle looks super generous. I reckon it is price RM170, but I am not too sure. Moisturiser are abit pricey but definitely less expensive than a serum.

• Texture: Quite light, I can't be greedy slapping these on my face. Just a tiny amount, it easily spread all over my face.
• Fragrance: Undetectable. So it's good.
• Absorbency: Not that instant.

Like: Very generous amount for a 50ml bottle, I reckon can last me 2 months! No fragrance and it is all organic ^^

Don't like: Packaging, because I like pumps moisturiser because it is more sanitise to use. I need to get a spatula to scoop this, as I don't trust my hands to be completely clean. But then bottles like this, means no wastage.

I feel my face is more oily after using this for 4 days. At night, after putting it on around 8pm, my face is an oil pan by 11pm. Hmm I do hope it does the job of hydration by the end of the week. I am not giving this up!

Okidoki, I going to chomp on my 'tong yun', will show you pics of it in my next post.

Merry Christmas and if I don't see you, Happy New Year! 

I wanted to do this post long ago, but did not have the time because of moving home, so this is a very very belated post.

It's black again lol So here again I played with black nails, bought this set at Sasa, it comes in a box, really cute (sorry threw the box already).


I have always used this Sally Hansen Maximum Growth as my nail base for as long as I remembered. I really like it because the brush is soft and it is long, so it touches the base of the bottle easily. No wastage! I hate nail polishes brush that is short and does not touch the base of the bottle and I really don't like tipping the bottle to the side to get the colours, because it is very inconvenient as my nails ain't dry yet >.< do you have that problem too?


I was kinda amazing to be able to dig out the hearts from the bottle eh?


The top coat is superb! Works like the famous Ettusais jelly harden top coat, but at a fraction of the cost. But this dries really really slow.

So, what about Halloween makeup?


No, I did not do this makeup hehe I just came back from a photoshoot with Cleo Malaysia Magazine, and the MU artist did this dramatic eyes for me! I really like it, because it kinda hides the fact that I am mono eyelid lol


On normal days, I won't be able to play with such dark colours because I think it is just too dramatic for an everyday look, but definitely for clubbing or partying! But I did not end up at a party, but in a magazine!


Tadah! It was really fun, playing with Giordano latest range of assessories, golden snake bracelets and necklace.



I was extremely paranoid before this came out, because I totally felt 'big' and 'fat' in the photoshoot. I really felt 'huge' and just crossed my fingers that it will turn out ok. Overall, I am soooo happy it really seems great, well not smoking hot, because that's way too optimistic lol but it was fun to be featured in a magazine. Have always wanted to appear in a mag, so I guess I can cross this job of my bucket list hahahah



It can really clean up squeky clean! As a contact lens user, I always have phobia that some makeup remover can get into my eyes and irritate them, but this L'occitane remover is really gentle to my eyes. I don't think there is any fragrance to it, and with just a tiny amount, both eyes can be wipe clean.

So how was your belated halloween? Hope you all have a blast time!

Let's plan for Christmas 2010!!!

Black is the new White? I never could understand all these phrase lol Well I recently cut my nails short, and short nails only go with black or dark nail colours hahaha


This brand of nail polish, called "Shine Shine Emily Nail Enamel" is really superb! It's cheap (like RM3 each) and pigmented colours. It's not those transparent nail colours, that showed on the bottle but never on your nails! Well, I can't just leave it as black right, so I got some nail stickers on them.


Now, where I got my inspiration from?


My old phone, Nokia N95 8GB! Well, it's also my old camera (5MP was really great) till I got Fujifilm FinePix F200EXR. So anyway, see those little stars around the screen, on the phone shield? Cute isn't it? I got it at Daiso for RM5!


And I got a cool theme too, on this phone. I love Nokia phones, functional and never fails. I have no fate with LG (I spent a bomb on getting the red LG Chocolate when it launched a few years back), but the poor reception, uninstallable games, especially the lousy reception (did I mentioned that already?).

Upcoming posts:

• RMK Workshop (dissapointed)
• Liese hair dye (Marshmallow Brown!)
• Loose powder (tiny) collection
• Giveaway time! 1 year bloganiversary!

For the month of June, I have been especially crazy over my nails. According to SO, guys don't really give a f**k about we girls nails LOL I know I know, but we do it in the name of fun! Here are just my tiny stash of nail stuffs. I have no any particular brands that I like, just colours. Isn't it hard to remember all the colours that we have? Do you have the same problem as me: went out to get some nail varnish colours, coming back home to discover you got a near similar same colour!








The fruits thingy did not last a day! Not because of the glue, but I was picking on them. It is so hard not to resist. So what recent nail stuffs you babes did? Share it with me~ Give me some inspirations~

ps: I wish my hands can get some Konadssssssssssssssssssss~~~~
