Naraya Outlet in Gurney Paragon Penang

To all the Naraya bag fans out there..Naraya is opening an outlet at Gurney Paragon, Penang. :) The shop is located on the second floor which is beside SASA shop.  I saw the shop when I went to Gurney Paragon last week during raya holiday. I was like " What the..I just carry and bought a few Naraya bags from my Bangkok trip last two month !! " . If I know they going to open a Naraya shop here, I won't be spending my time searching for the Naraya shop in Bangkok. 

From what I see, the price of the bags at Naraya Penang is almost the same as the one in Bangkok and they have the same design available as well. I guess from now one, most of the ladies going to buy from Naraya Penang instead of buying it from Bangkok and having the hard time carrying it back to Malaysia :)

Ume Skin Analyzer Review

Ever wander how is your skin condition? Is the skin dry or oily and izzit healthy ? Usually by knowing this, we can only determine what skin care products can help to improve our skin and have healthy skin. 

I know that my skin is very oily but don't know what's causing it. I can only check my skin condition with the skin analyzer machine at the skin care counter when I'm buying something from the counter from time to time. :( 

TODAY....HAHA..I going to introduce to you and do a simple review on a tool which I just bought..It's Ume skin analyzer. Its a small and cute tool that help me to analyse and understand my skin better anytime and anywhere. I order this tool from a clinic and bought it at RM 92. 

They have two colour to select. Pink and White. I bought the pink colour one Y^^Y. 

This tool is very simple to use. With just three steps, I can directly measured and know my skin water content. With this tool, it help me to understand my skin Moisture, what is the water percentage, the Oiliness (skin type) and Roughness of my skin (dead cell thickness). One thing about this skin analyzer is that I can bring it anywhere as it's very small. Another thing is that with this tool, I can know which products help my skin. I can measure the skin before applying the product and re-measured my skin again after applying the product. 

This is my skin condition. :( As you can see, it's in terrible condition. I haven been doing my mask recently. What does this measurement tell me? It's telling me my skin is very dry with only 34% of water content and my skin is rough. This is not good!!!! RED ALERT!! Need to do more mask ..

Overall I think this beauty product it's worth to invest  :).

My Trip to Bangkok

Hi Ladies..I've just come back from Bangkok. Went there for 5 days 4 night just purely shopping ^^. I know how all girls feel when it come to shopping..* EXCITING*

Bought the Airasia ticket to bangkok from Penang and it cost me around RM 600 ( two-way). It's not so cheap but that's  the only time which I can free out my time..At Bangkok, I spend most of my time at Pratunam Wholesale Market and Platinum mall. 

I went to Naraya shop at Asiatique.  Girls went crazy inside it.  It have most of the latest design. I think the bags are quite nice. I only bought two bags which i think quite nice and it cost me RM 80 for these two bags. I think its quite expensive and I'm not sure why all of them can buy till one whole big plastic bag full with Naraya bag. ==""

On the second day, we went to Central Mall. It was a HUGE mall. Didn't buy anything from the Mall as most of the things sell inside the mall are quite expensive. 

We went to Oshi Grand Buffet for our dinner. If not mistaken, the price per person is around 700THB which is way cheaper than Baiyoke Sky buffet. The things that attract me is the Haagen Dazs ice cream. They have quite a few choice for you to choose. There's one section which you can choose which vege, fish and meat you like for stir fry and steam. I like the Thai Steam Fish. 

Here's some of the pictures I taken at Terminal 21. Didn't  bought anything from there as I think its more to branded and design store though some appear to be cheap. The only interesting things at Terminal 21 is the building concept only. It have different concept for each floor. We spend time walking thru each floor. 

Those who prefer shopping for cheap and nice clothes, I highly recommend these two places ( Pratunam Market and Platinum Mall). You can bargain a bit on the price. If would be much more cheaper if you buy in wholesale ( usually 3 pcs either same design or can you can mixed the design). It depends on the shops. These are the items which I buy from Pratinum Market and Platinum mall. Total damage approximately 2500 THB. T.T. The earring are suppppper cheap.
I end my bangkok with trip with all these loots :)

Trip to Phuket

Just looking thru my photo and found some photos which I took it during my honeymoon trip to Phuket. I would like to share with you the hotel  which I love very much during my trip. The trip was in June 2012. We went there for 5 day 4 night. The first two night, we're staying at The Sea Patong. The environment is clean and quiet. We mention that it's our honeymoon trip. They help to decorate our room with roses :) They offer pickup from airport to hotel. All these can included inside when you purchase the package. 

On our last two night, we're staying at Metadee Resort Villa. I like this place so much. Here's a few photo of the villa which we're staying at. We book for one-bedroom villa with pool access from Booking.com. The price for one night is approximately RM  600. I LOVE the bedroom design. The room is fill is relaxing lemon grass aroma scent. They have the jazz music playing in the room. I will definitely come back to this resort again.

I find it very helpful for those who are learning makeup. These are great book as inside, it teach us how to make up with step by step pictures and a copy of cd with video illustration.

Every time she launch a new volume, i would definitely buy it. I usually buy it at Popular bookstore. To get cheaper price, you need to buy it during its new launching period which we can buy it at approximately RM 35 with the Popular member 15% discounted price. After the launching is over, the price will hike up to approximately RM 46. So every once a while, I will surely drop by Popular bookstore to check whether there's any new volume out. :) 

Here's the sneak peak of the books. There're step by step picture illustration so that you can easily understand. It even mention what makeup items she use to achieve this look. This is one of the look from her which I like it very much. It focus on eye makeup.

Maybelline Clear Smooth BB Stick Review

Hello all..Good Morning..Last month was a busy month for me with Chinese new year coming along, spend most of my time cleaning up my house during the weekends. As you all know, during Chinese new year, we ( especially girl and ladies) want to look pretty :)  and these are the time where most of us would do some make-up to look nice. 

Today I'm going to introduce a product which I found favourite in, " Maybelline Clear Smooth BB Stick". I get to know this product when I went back home town for CNY and saw my sister bought one. She never really try it out. I was curious so I open it up and try it on my skin. I was surprised by the texture of this product. From the outlook, the texture look creamy, so my first thought without trying is that this product going to be sticky when apply to my oily skin. But the instant I apply it to my skin, I get the powdery feel. 

It doesn't feel sticky and It's easy to blend in to my skin. I was like " WOW". I quick ask my sister to try it out. At first she was skeptical to try out but after applying and she saw the before and after on her face, she was amaze by it too. I use the stick to cover up her dark eye circle. It done a pretty good job in concealing her dark eye circles. 

So once I back in Penang, I directly went to Guardian to bought one myself. Maybelline Clear Smootn BB stick have two tone : Fresh and Natural. I bought Natural as I think fit more to my skin tone.  I use the stick to cover up my acne and pimples scar ;) 

Overall, I think this is a great product especially when using it to cover dark eyes circle and acne scar. ♥♥♥

Till Then

Cute Baby Booties

Hi everyone...How is your first day of the week? Hope you all have a nice time last weekend. 

For me, I've been busying setting my facebook Store Page. I've started making some DIY stuff. At first it started as a gift for my niece. She's so cute that I can't stop myself in making something for her during her trip to Penang last few weeks. I've make one pair of shoes and a headband for me. Crocheting these things really take up most of my free times :) But it was worth it. 

When she come to Penang, the first I do is to slip up the shoes to her tiny feet to see whether it fits her. It end up quite large, so I've to add a strap to keep it in tag. The headband fits her well. Here's the picture of her wearing the headband. Wasn't she adorable. :) 

Since it turns out quite ok for her, so I started to make a few  more baby booties and thought of setting up a Page store and sell some of it. I call it LullabyBaby Store. :) Feel free to drop in my Store Page.

Review Cellnique Skin Purifying Daytime Protection 20

Hello gal ^^ Wish you all Happy New Year 2013. Its starting of a brand new year. Have you all set your goal for this year? I've set mine. By end of this year, I want to achieve flawless skin. 

In order to achieve 2013 goal, I've change my skincare routine. One of the item which I added to my skincare routine is Sunblock as it protect my skin from been damaged by the sunlight when I went outdoor. All the while I never use sunblock is because I think sunblock is  too oily for my skin as I have acne prone skin and felt it would congested my skin. However after I started to use Cellnique product two month ago for my acne, I get to know  that they have sunblock product as well, Skin Purifying Daytime Protection 20. I was keen to try-out but at the same time scare it might cause more breakout.

 I asked one of my friend who used this product. Her skin is also pimple prone skin. So far she haven see any breakout from using it. So I decided to give it a try. I would like to thank Cellnique for giving me this opportunity to try out their sunblock. Here's my honest review of it.

Cellnique Skin Purifying Daytime Protection 20 come with a pump head applicator which I think is quite hygienic. I've been using this product for two week before doing this review. Throughout the two week, I don't have any severe breakout.  ( which I think this is an important point for any people that have acne skin). Apart from that one thing that amaze me is it doesn't feel heavy/appear oily on my face. 

As stated inside the product description, this product is suitable for oily, acne-prone skin. Unlike normal sunblock, this product provide the below advantages which I personally felt it 's working as what it mention. 

• Kills the bacteria P.acnes that causes acne infection.  ( Acne seems less inflame during my one week application) 
• Prevents breakouts. ( No major breakout seem during two week application)
• Reduces inflammation caused by acne.
• Anti- irritant. ( Skin doesn't appear redness after application) 

Apart from these, it work as natural foundation to cover my acne mark. Although it doesn't provide full coverage but minimum enough to make my skin look natural.  It doesn't appear greyish or felt thickish. You won't felt anything on your face.  I use one pump for whole face and only apply it during daytime. 

Overall, I'm quite satisfy with this product. Above is all my personal review and experience on the product during the two week application. Will continue using it. :)
