Rockport : It's All About Walkability™

2011-12-14T12:59:00.000-08:00

Rockport @ 1 Utama Old Wing

Have you ever heard of Rockport? It's a leading brand within the Adidas Group corporate portfolio and one of the most recognized footwear brands in the United States. Rockport has a heritage of innovation and offers stylish, comfortable footwear for men and women worldwide.

Today, Rockport is proud to announce the introduction of its Iconic Pump Collection – an unprecedented and stylish new approach to the everyday work shoes. Designed with the female metropolitan professional in mind, the Rockport Iconic Pump allows women everywhere to feel comfortable all day in their business-attire best, without compromising style in their shoes.

Rockport Janae Pump - The 24/7 Must Have For This Season!

There are a number of high-tech elements into the construction of the “Janae” to make it the ultimate pump, including:

Nano-glide technology in the lining, which creates less friction
adiPRENE technology in the heel for amazing shock absorption and adiPRENE+ technology for an enhanced rebound;
Thick latex arch support to provide a unique extra cushioning feel
Breathable Polyurethane in the forefoot for moisture absorption
More height with less pitch; 79 mm heel pitch with a heel height of over 4 inches. The platform in the forefoot work together to create a more comfortable walkable heel
Rubber outsole which provides a durable grip on a variety of surfaces and reduces slip

Frankly speaking, I don't wear very high heels too often. But these are superb comfortable if fits true to size and extremely easy to walk in. I don’t feel like I am wearing such high heels at all! However, there is an enormous amount of pressure on the front part of my toes; maybe due to the leather portion is too short & rounded.

The "Janae" are available in leather and suede options in a number of colorways, including black, brown, raisin and grey heather, and can be found at Rockport concept stores.

My feet loved being in comfortable shoes!

adiPRENE technology by Adidas

What makes Rockport shoes so comfortable? This is the exact question we've seen all the time. The answer is simple: adiPRENE technology by Adidas.

This innovation works because of a two-part attack: adiPRENE® and adiPRENE®+. These are cushioning materials which respond to the different needs of the heel and fore foot. adiPRENE® absorbs impact in the heel, providing superior cushioning and protection. In the forefoot, adiPRENE®+ enhances performance by providing propulsion and resiliency at the toe-off, and better dynamic movement.

Rockport Emma Collection

I am in love with Rockport’s truWALK : Emma Cap Toe Pump! The moment I put them on, I begin to experience Rockport’s truWALK architecture, revolutionary technology that support my foot through its entire range of motion. It is the most comfortable shoes ever!

The Rockport truWALK is a walking shoe designed to delay foot fatigue while on the go. This architecture provides a natural full range of foot motion, from shock absorption at heel strike to forefront flexibility at push off; resulting in a more comfortable, energized stride.

Rockport Machine-Washables Collection

Well, much to my surprise, I discovered that there are a machine washable collection. These shoes are developed using a combinations of renewable leather, nubuck and breathable mesh, providing shoes that are comfortable and look like new, no matter how many times you wash and wear them. It is so cool, right?!

These shoes are water safe - they're all machine washable!

Rockport has made numerous shoe designs that are very durable, simple yet stylish.

Rockport accessories and shoe care: socks, shoe polish, shoe laces plus more!

The Rockport philosophy of Walkability™ is simple: it means a shoe should fit your foot, not the other way around. It means premium materials, tailored to your lifestyle. It promises to make style comfortable and enable metropolitan professionals to look good longer.

This foundation provides me a natural coverage and I am so pleasantly surprised by how well it covers all my imperfections, especially my freckles, blemishes and fines lines.

Review : Lipsmacker Paul Frank Lip Gloss In Julius’ Coconut Cream

2011-11-22T05:45:00.000-08:00

I am utterly a Big Fan of Paul Frank Lipsmacker! The packaging is always super adorable and delectable with natural protection for lips. I have this Lipsmacker Paul Frank Lip Gloss In Julius’ Coconut Cream from Yuberactive. This little lip gloss comes in a cute blue/ green and brown tube with a little Julius happily dancing the hula under the Hawaiian sky, making this Paul Frank Julius’ Coconut Cream perfect for summer.

It uses only natural oils such as castor oil, wheat germ oil, sesame seed oil, beeswax, and candelilla wax. I've never tried any Lipsmackers before, but I always wanted to as it seem so affordable.

The tubes of lip gloss are so small (net weight of 4g) and portable that it can be tucked into my pocket or bag, making it perfectly accessible when I am doing my shopping or watching a movie. I always keeping tubes all over my house and office, it is another good way to remind me to get my lips protected.

This natural lip gloss comes in a convenient twist up tube packaging which is hygienic to use. It really moisturizes even though I don’t really like the coconut cream flavor. It went on smoothly though a little thicker in texture than expected. The scent of the Lip Gloss In Julius’ Coconut Cream is rather strong, but after putting it on my lips, it actually smelled more pleasant but not overpowering.

It turned my dry chapped lipped into soft ones within 2 days of use. It feels nice going on and keeps my lips well moisturized, super-smooth and supple for hours. I reapply it after lunch and whenever the effect eventually wears off, which is usually after I eat or drink.

These little lip gloss is available in Guardian Pharmacy, Jusco Wellness, Parkson, SSa and Watson’s Personal Care Store at an attractive price of RM 12.90. Some of you will no doubt be using and loving it already - but it was brand new to me. Now, I can't wait to try other flavors of Lipsmackers!

Sakae Sushi Launches Malaysia's 1st iPad Ordering System

2011-10-31T00:33:00.000-07:00

The mascot for Sakae Sushi

Today iPad is clearly leading the tablet market. Sakae Sushi Malaysia unveiled its latest innovation – launches the 1^st of its kind to use the iPad interactive menu in efforts to further improve its customer service experience, as it is able to handle complex orders quickly, efficiently and accurately.

We are lucky enough to be invited to venture into a whole new level of Japanese dining experience right after the SHILLS Meet BeautyBloggers Event at Berjaya Times Square KL. This new system is currently also available at Sakae Sushi at the Curve and Sunway Pyramid, with more outlets to follow.

New iPad Interactive Menu

The iPads are displayed on every table on a metal holder, allowing us to place an order by just touching the screen and choosing our desired food and beverages.

Introduction to iPad Ordering System

The iPads are designed to resemble an actual menu which we can browse through, zoom in and out or pinch to enlarge the item. We will be prompted to a screen display listing down our order, where we are able to make any changes, confirm and sent our orders directly to the kitchen. For added convenience, the device will further list out and separate order items that have arrived or are being prepared. This enables us to effortlessly keep track and manage our orders in one easy-to-navigate screen. In addition, we can tract down our favorite menu items with a ‘search’ function.

Immediately after having fun with the iPad ordering system, all the beauty bloggers get to enjoy the ever delightful tea time with some of the signature dishes at Sakae Sushi. I simply love it.

Sakae Candle

It is one of Sakae’s signature dishes which is made of avocado, Japanese cucumber, crab meat, shrimp roe, codfish roe and mayonnaise and shaped with a slice of salmon to look like a candle, as the name suggests. But too bad, the candle was not lighted.

Sakae Chawanmushi (RM 4.50)

It is one of Sakae Sushi’s top selling dishes comprises a mixture of crab, vegetables, mushroom and sharks fin. I am not really a big fan of Chawanmushi but it taste so yummylicious!

Chicken Teriyaki Don (RM 7.90)

The chicken pieces portion was very generous and it taste heavenly with the sweetish teriyaki sauce! Obviously all dishes are marvelous! Thumbs up to Sakae Sushi!

Me, Camie, Wei Wei, Amelie Voon & Mindy

So, with this new innovation, Sakae Sushi will definitely stays ahead of its competition as well as appeals with an efficient and effective food ordering system that clearly differentiates Sakae Sushi from the rest!

Thanks SHILLS and Sakae Sushi that put this event together and I very much enjoyed!

Wacoal Pink Ribbon Launch 2011 @ 1 Utama

2011-10-05T17:54:00.000-07:00

My Support Against Breast Cancer with Wacoal

Last Saturday, I attended the launch of the 2011 Pink Ribbon Campaign with Wacoal Malaysia & Parkson Corporation to urges women to be aware of the signs of breast cancer at 1 Utama Shopping Centre.

The Wacoal 2011 Pink Ribbon Campaign launching ceremony involved special appearances by two of Malaysia’s leading female artistes: Elaine Daly and Debbie Goh, to help spread knowledge on early detection of breast cancer.

Pink Mission by Elaine Daly & Debbie Goh

An appreciation & prize- giving ceremony to mark the successful launch of the Pink Ribbon Campaign 2011

Central message of the campaign : "Early Detection Is The Best Protection"

In conjunction of the event, a two-day exhibition was held at the same venue from 11.00 a.m. to 5.00 p.m. to generate maximum awareness on breast cancer. Apart from fun activities and exclusive Pink Ribbon giveaways, Wacoal’s experienced beauty consultants will be on hand to impart the knowledge on brassiere fitting. Female doctors from Assunta Hospital will also be present to provide personal consultations and breast screening on a complimentary basis.

Let's Pink Catwalk

Wacoal Support The Fight Against Breast Cancer

As early detection saves lives, breast self-examination was widely highlighted at the event and at all Wacoal counters (including those in Parkson’s). To further emphasize its importance, Wacoal was giving away 100 mammogram packages to its lady customers.

Personally, I am not ready for my mammogram. I am fear of screening facilities, pain, radiation and worry about finding something abnormal. But.. I know having a mammogram is something I need to do for myself so that I can continue to take care of those who depend on me. Well, it's good that I made an appointment for my mammogram since it is FREE!

Elaine Daly & Debbie Goh shared their knowledge on how to become breast self-aware

Pink Ribbon Campaign is an annual breast cancer awareness campaign during the month of October. Its aim is to tap public consciousness about breast cancer, fund raising, information dissemination and support for the afflicted. In order to encourage women as well as men to take part in this campaign, Wacoal had come out with an wonderful idea, whereby every registered visitor was given a stamp card and we have to visits all the booth to earn a stamp.

Pink Fun : Q & A Session To Help Beat Breast Cancer

Remamma : Your Choice After Mastectomy

You can find out more about Remamma Bra and Prosthesis form this booth. Wacoal’s unique services on prosthesis and special brassieres dedicated to assist post-operative women – will also be made available, making it one of the best Pink Ribbon initiatives of the year.

Pink Spread : Stand United Against Breast Cancer

Pink Fit : Know Your Size & Shape

Doctor Advice : Breast Examination

I registered myself for a complimentary breast examination and I was called into a room by a doctor from Assunta Hospital. The doctor ask me to loosen off everything from the waist up, then she start examines my breast. I was taught on how to perform a breast self-exam (BSE), which could be done monthly to protect myself against breast cancer. AHHhhhh! I feel an immediate release when doctor told me everything was alright.

The best time to do a BSE if you still have periods is a few after your period ends. If your periods have stopped, just pick a regular day you can remember every month.

Freebies : Wacoal Panties

Yahoo! Guess what?! Upon completion of all the stamps, I was rewarded with a Wacoal Penties voucher redeemable at Parkson 1 Utama during the 2-days event. That's so cute.

Today, breast cancer is the most common cancer among Malaysian women, but sadly, between 50 and 60 per cent isn't diagnosed until the late stages. Thus, having regular mammograms and yearly breast exams are the best way to find breast cancer early. Let's make an appointment for your mammograms today and make a different!

Join Me! Wacoal Let's Pink Event!

2011-10-01T11:09:00.000-07:00

Wacoal Malaysia, in collaboration with Parkson Corporation, is launching its 2011 Pink Ribbon Campaign to promote breast cancer awareness starting from today onwards (1^st & 2^nd October 2011). The event is taking place at the ‘Highstreet’ (New Wing) of 1 Utama Shopping Centre.

When I am young, I am not worry too much about things like wrinkles, pigmentation and sagging skin. But once I see those first fine lines, typically at the corners of my eyes, I start to panic. If you are panicking like me, calm down. There are solutions from CRES.

As soon as I stepped into CRES, I feel totally relaxed and pampered. My Beauty Consultant, Jesvin, was hugely knowledgeable and completely approachable. She introduced me to the latest treatment and I am so amazed by the 7 benefits that I will be getting with the Ultra Rejuvenation Crystallinear Therapy. Wow!!!

Instant pore refining
Instant whitening and spot lightening
Ultra smooth and radiant complexion
Fine lines and wrinkle removing, look instantly younger
Ultra hydrating, calming and refreshing
Reduced eye bags, eye puffiness
Instant face lift, no more puffy face, face look thinner and sharper

Basically, the Ultra Rejuvenation Crystallinear Therapy is a highly effective reversal and therapeutic treatment that utilizes the mighty energy of natural crystal and nano-technology. It can unblock and activate the lymph nodes, increase the flow of nutrients to the cells, and thus stimulate better and faster cell repair and renewal, leaving skin instantly revitalized and ultra smooth like baby’s skin.

While waiting for my therapist, I filled-up my details and picked up some magazines on the table to read. It went on very well and I started with my treatment within a few minutes.

My facial started off with the welcoming massage to ease my tensions, followed by a double cleanse and exfoliation. A cold steamer was used on me to nurtures my dehydrated skin and helps to tighten and shrink my pores. The extraction was painless and it lasted me for less than 15 minutes.

Next, Chakra Massage with Crystal. The therapist uses the top grading natural quartz crystal with different level of mineral contents based on my skin condition, to massage my face and neck; this stimulates blood circulation and the lymphatic flow of detoxification.

There were 3 essences used for the Ultra Rejuvenation Crystallinear Therapy:

Anti Aging Essence - Containing Liposomal Fibroblast Growth Factor and Epidermis Growth Factor, helps to revive skin cell, restores damage tissue and stimulates new cell growth, making skin look young and glowing.
Hydrating Essence - Containing Flexin that can activate white blood cells for a faster damaged tissue repair thus tightening and reducing wrinkle effectively. It is also rich in Hyaluronic Acid leaving skin ultra nourished and moisturized. The existence of Inhipase reduces inflammation and sensitivity of the skin, leaving skin soothed and calmed.
Whitening Essence - Containing Arbutin from Bearberry Extract. It inhibits tyrosinase and thus prevents the formation of melanin, leaving skin very well toned and lightened, with a layer of egg like smoothness being felt.

This treatment uses the most advanced nanotechnology and it’s like ironing my face. It enables treatment essence to penetrate deeply below my skin epidermis. The intensive triple mask was then applied.

Enzymatic Masque - A specially customized natural fruit enzyme complex works to remove dead skin cells accumulated on the skin surface, allowing effective absorbance of skin care nutrients deeper into the epidermis and dermis layers. It can also reduce skin discoloration problem and bring a fairer looking skin tone.
Matrix Masque - It is an enriched collagen fortified masque that hydrates, tones and refines. Stimulates collagen production for a firmer and more youthful facial contour and skin elasticity.
Soft Masque - Containing Ginseng Extract that revitalizes the skin while lubricating it to improve elasticity and tone. In addition to re-hydration, cells are oxygenated, calmed, soothed and softened.

Finally, after the mask is removed, a protective cream was applied. A shoulder massage ends the two-hours (120 minutes) pamper process. I was amazed by the exceptional results. My skin felt unbelievably tightened, whitened and hydrated.

Well… the Ultra Rejuvenation Crystallinear Therapy costs RM408 per treatment. Although it is quite pricey, but I think it should be the price we pay for beauty! It is absolutely amazing treatment and worth every penny!

Dang.. dang.. dang.. DANG!!! The good news is... You can enjoy the 1st Trial Ultra Rejuvenation Crystallinear Therapy at a very attractive price of only RM199! This is deefinately a golden opportunity NOT to be MISSED and don't forget to share your own experience with me too!

My Experience @ Amante Nail Spa & Body Care

2011-08-25T20:54:00.000-07:00

I can't even remember the last time I had a full body massage in Malaysia. This might sound strange to you, but believe me - it's for real.

Of course I love to get massage. In fact, I travel to Thailand every year specifically for foot and body massage after my shopping blitz. I loved it though and had a massage almost every day. One of the things I love about the massage in Thailand is that it's really cheap! You can spot the massage signs on almost every road and you'll be hard pressed to find an excuse not to enjoy one.

Entrance

Amante Nail Spa & Body Care

Last week I had the luxurious me time at Amante Nail Spa & Body Care, Bandar Puteri Puchong. I treated myself with a 90 minutes aromatherapy body massage. It was my first time there and I was completely amazed.

Reception Lounge

Interior

Aromatherapy Room

I was guided to the treatment room once I had registered myself. The treatment room was pretty simple, spacious and inviting which allowed me to relax. During the 90 minutes aromatherapy body massage, I was slips into some loose fitting clothes and lays on a comfortable low raised bed.

Noor, my massage therapists had chosen to use lemongrass scented massage oil for my treatment. Throughout the massage, she was informative and professional. Her lovely soft hands used just the right amount of pressure and her consideration for my comfort and pain levels throughout was exceptional.

I always had a lot of stress around me in my personal and professional life. My feet and shoulder was my main problems. She worked on my whole body including releasing the muscles around the feet and shoulder. What tipped it a bit for me is that during the foot massage, she noted that my feet were very tense. I was recommended to use ginger oil as part of a massage blend with essential oils and gently rub into the affected area to ease aches and cramps also improves circulation. I found after Noor’s massage I felt less tense in my neck and shoulders and a small relief in leg and lower back. I felt really relaxed and sleepy afterwards.

Ginger Tea

After the 90 minute treatments ended, I was served with a warm ginger tea while filling up a customer particular form. My body felt completely relaxed, comfortable and yet energized.

Review : Rimmel Extra Super Lash Waterproof Mascara

2011-07-27T00:50:00.000-07:00

Mascara is always on every girl wish list as it highlights our eye lashes. I personally don't really wear too much of makeup on a normal day, maybe with just an eyeliner, mascara and lip gloss will do.

The Rimmel Extra Super Lash Waterproof Mascara comes in a simple black plastic tube with a straight brush. But the brush isn’t that great as it is too big for my lashes. It does not leave a dramatic look in the first coat of application itself, thus I apply a couple coats to give me a little darker, slightly more defined and lengthened lashes, but unfortunately it ends up leaving my eyelashes clumped.

Before Application

After Application

So, I tend to apply only one coat of the mascara with just a natural look eyelash. My lashes looked completely average except for being darker. So far, it never flaked or smudged on me and it is waterproof that lasted me the whole day. However, I find it is so difficult to remove even with the eye makeup remover. I seem to lose a couple of eyelashes every time I removing it.

Naturally Abundant Looking Eyelashes

Generally, the mascara isn't that bad. It is inexpensive mascara for those who want natural looking lashes. You can always buy Rimmel London products at your nearest Watson’s, Guardian, Parkson & AEON Wellness for RM27.90.

Review : Organic Aid Vitamin E Moisturizing Cream

2011-07-24T01:43:00.000-07:00

Have you’ll ever come across a skincare products by Organic Aid®? I know some of you may try them out before. Well, I’ve wanting to try it out for ages, but I hesitant to pull the trigger on it. Trust me, if you never try, you'll never know.

Organic Aid® is one such brand that gives the best natural protection your skin deserves. If your skin feels dehydrated, and you wonder why fine lines start showing on your face. It’s time for you to discover the amazing wonders of ‘Wheat Germ’. You might ask: What is ‘Wheat Germ’? It is actually one of the nature’s richest sources of pure Vitamin E, fully organic, and can be found in all Organic Aid® range. Does that sound interesting to you?

I am terribly excited to try the Organic Aid Vitamin E Moisturizing Cream. It’s really quite amazing to find that it actually do what the product claims “Non-Sticky, Non-Greasy”. In fact I love the gel-cream texture, plus non-comedogenic and hypo-allergenic. I have tried this product close to two weeks now and I must say I am totally convinced.

The cream is very gentle and yet very effective. It is specially formulated with Vitamin E to moisturize, soothe and heal over-dry or rough skin, leaving my skin soft and refreshed. It absorbs immediately and leaving my skin with a velvety feel.

This product is definitely worth the money and I will be purchasing more! You can find it in most of the pharmacies and it's normally selling at RM14.90.

Happy trying!
