Finally the 1st debut bag of love have arrived... 
I was so excited and waiting for it ever since I subscribe for it 
@_@


Recently there is a lot of beauty boxes that pops-up in Malaysia market BUT what makes bag of love different from the rest is that ...it comes in a stylish bag instead of a box (which you can reuse as a stationary case or make up case.. Isn't that great ! )..

The important thing is Bag of love was created by Mimi who has spent more than a decade as a beauty writer for some of the most famous magazine in our country. Therefore no one knows what women wants better than her..

My Cute little stylish bag...

Not sure if this movie pass will be available in future bags, but i hope it does =D

All the lovely items in my Bag Of Love.

My Burt's Savior Product

A functional Balm for Duo-usage.

Some of  us may know the fact that women eat lots of lip stick throughout our life (its not that we literally eat it. It's because we apply it on our lips and when we lick our lips or consume our food, we will unintentionally swallow it). Therefore its important that we have something on that is as natural as possible.

Burt's Bees Tinted Lip Balm is a 100% natural lip balm which contains abundance of goodness and still let us flirt with a hint of colors. Besides being use as a lip balm, it also can be use as a 'Cheek Tint' (for time of emergency where we forget to apply cheek blush and we are going out on a DATE...)


Contains ingredients such as....

Coconut oil - Coconut oil also helps in treating various skin problems including psoriasis, dermatitis, eczema and other skin infection. Coconut oil also helps in preventing premature aging and degenerative diseases due to its antioxidant properties

Lanolin - also called wool wax or wool grease, is a yellow waxy substance secreted by the sebaceous glands of wool  (Most lanolin used by humans comes from domestic sheep that are raised specifically for their wool). A fantastic moisturizer for skin, nails and hair. Because it acts like a lubricant, it makes skin soft and smooth and also prevents water loss.

Shea Butter - The fat of the nut of the African Shea tree. The traditional use of the butter is to reduce the appearance of fine lines, scars and stretch marks, and to ease a variety of skin irritations, such as psoriasis, eczema and sunburn. It also have anti inflammatory properties, antioxidant (contains vit A & E)

Rosemary leaf Extract - Rich in antioxidant properties and nutrients (such as iron, calcium, vitamins and camphor. Helps tones and firm skin. Also has astringent, disinfectant and antibiotic properties.

Jasmine Flower Wax - Rich in antioxidant, anti bacterial and anti fungal properties. Nevertheless, it also helps to keep lips moisture at all time (seal in moisture)

Therefore it's a must have item in any women handbags.

My Beauty emotion : Happy and satisfy. Highly Recommended Item.

Stamping nail art have been around for quite some time. Despite so many women and my friends have tried it.. I am only giving it the 1st try that day (well...I need to beautify my nails a little coz I have long neglect it)

Well with my skills and forget-fullness + bad in reading instruction, I have spend 3 hours doing it without success ;( ..I gave up. Send a what's app msg to Sheryl (MakeOverNow founder) and told her that I need to visit them again to be guided all over again.

However, the next day.. The Moment I woke up, I decided to give it a final try (not willing to give up so easily) and wOOOLaAAA...!! I have finally able to make my own nail stamp art... Hahahaha..

March to Mauve and Fever

As we are well aware that Korea is well known for producing top quality skin care products labels such as Laneige, Skin Food, Nature Republic and many more.. Well usually they are not only good in quality but also adorable in design (yes...those that make you wanna buy even though you don't use them) hahaha...

In the recent Motherhood Expo, I was introduce to Mauve & FeverA new Korean Natural Baby Skin Care. To me its like a skin care/ cosmetic skin care for children age 3 - 12 years old. I wonder why would a child that age need to use skin care (well..i guess korean starts their skin care lesson as young as that age. that's why they are so pretty). Anyway it was pretty interesting to know..

Can be found in many products such as facial moisturizer, sunscreen, cleanser, baby lotions, anti-aging treatment, eye cream, hair dye and hair styling gel.

Cocamidopropyl BetaineA surfactant that comes from coconut oil, and it's a common ingredient in many liquid skin cleansers. Surfactants are detergents that allow water to wash away the oil and dirt from your skin by decreasing the surface tension of water and making it easier to wet your face. Surfactants are both lipophilic -- oil loving -- and hydrophilic -- water loving -- which enables them to remove dirt and oil from your skin


Glycerin - Glycerin is a compound that can be made from natural products such as vegetable oil. The effects of glycerin on skin are a healthier, more natural-looking appearance. Glycerin is what is called a humectant, meaning that it attracts water. When glycerin or glycerol is applied to the skin, it seals in moisture that might otherwise escape.

Avena Strigosa Seed Extract - Extracted from black oat, this extract is high in amino acid content as well as in its selection of essential amino acids. The very high natural content of the two trace elements zinc and manganese contributes to the oat’s anti-oxidative properties. Zinc and manganese play an important role as catalysts in the prevention of the development of free radicals.

Lecithin - A chemical component that is naturally found in eggs, soy, and some animal organs—and it’s one that may help heal skin conditions for which there is no conventional medical cure.

Psoriasis is similar to eczema and dermatitis.
