Redwin Sorbolene Lotion

I LOVE SKINCARE PRODUCTS! Especially lotion and body butter.

They are a necessity to me. I can't live without them. I can't even walk out of the house without applying it. Its like a layer of protection I need to have if not I feel NAKED.
  
So my friend who is residing in Melbourne gave me this lotion and told me that it is good. Its from Redwin. She told me that her lips were parched when she first got to Aussie and the doctor recommended this cream called SORBOLENE. 

Little did she know that it is actually lotion and not some special cream in a small tube. So you can roughly know how non-chemical the lotion is because it is safe to apply on the lips!

Here is how the lotion looks like - Sorbolene from Redwin!

Front view
Back view - can even be used as shaving cream and makeup removew =O


I applied it the same day I received the lotion. and I LOVE IT. The texture is not oily yet when you applied on your skin, you can instantly feel how moisture it is. It just absorbs into your skin. Your skin wont feel oily or sticky after the application. It just feels normal but PROTECTED and MOISTURIZED!


So here is abit of the lotion on my thigh.

Applied it in circular motion because it will absorb easily into the skin. Haha, I editted this picture and it looks damn bright.



Here is the original picture. #nofilter #noedit The lotion is very watery and easy to apply.



TADAAAAAA. Skin is smooth and soft and protected!! I like saying protected because that is how I feel about lotion. Its a layer of protection!



I went online and did some read up about this lotion and OMG the price is not even expensive! You know the most common lotion we can find in guardian and watsons costs about RM18-RM30. For eg this Johnson & Johnson lotion :-




This lotion costs about RM18-RM20 for a 400ml bottle. Guess how much Redwin's Sorbolene costs?


From myshopping.com.au
FREAGGIN AUD 4.99! Its RM15.00 for 1 LITRE bottle!!!!!!! SO CHEAP!!!!!!


I am going to buy 5 of this when I go to Australia this year. *remind self to upsize luggage*


For those who have friends in Australia, try to bribe your friend in smuggling one back. LOL smuggling in a joking way ok, it is not illegal to smuggle lotion. HAHA. Y so serious?


Check out other products from Redwin as well! My friend bought their hand cream in Singapore and its heavenly therapy to the hands!



oooh my favourite~~~~

Giveaway - Vero Moda Dress from Doublewoot



I bought this dress from Doublewoot a long time ago. The fabric is really nice, very comfortable and not figure hugging at all.


Only worn it once and I don't really like it because I look fat in it.

I know a lot of people tried to buy this but Doublewoot doesn't stock up enough so I decided since I am not going to wear it anymore, I might as well give it to somebody who likes it. The cutting for the dress is really nice.

Fashion Feed - Katy Perry 4th July Eyelash Look

Katy Perry is famous for her cotton candy look, her porcelain skin, big eyes and curvy figure. Her hair has been through extreme colour transformation as well from blue to purple.


So in line with the 4th of July celebrations and her own Part of Me 3D film, she had her eyelashes glam up for her movie premier at Leicester Square, London!!


She was spotted in a very beautiful gown with a mermaid tail cutting. Check out her heels as well. Great match for the gown. Her hair was pulled back neatly leaving her strong features to stand out especially the red lips!

One would have never expected her eyelashes to be any different. Judging from the above pic, it just looks like the normal eyelashes. 


Gosh but when she was caught on camera leaning down for a kiss from her young fan, absolutely stunning!


Katy Perry-pictures credit Splash
See?

The red blue white colours of her eyelashes! So Pretty!

Katy Perry has come a long way especially from her divorce with comedian Russell Brand. Her music itself has evolved from pop music like I Kissed a Girl to powerful vocals in E.T and Fireworks.

She works hard and never fail to deliver stunning music videos.

It was really funny to see how down to earth she is when Miss Perry herself got excited about her eyelashes. She posted a picture of it on her twitter!

I wonder if Malaysia is showing her new film - Part of Me! Would be really entertaining to watch her on and off screen! 


Snippets of her in person, talking, joking just like the rest of us. Some shots of her in less make-up. hehehehe


Okay, one last pic of her eyelashes! LOVING IT SO MUCH! =D =D

Trendy Confessions - The Plus Size Store

Today's review is about Trendy Confessions. They are a online shop selling plus size clothes. Dresses, blouses, pants and skirts. 


Trendy Confessions are run by 2 sisters back in 2008 aiming to give plus size women out there trendy looks. They have a facebook page (Trendy Confessions FB page) but the main site running is their website here --> Trendy Confessions


Trendy Confessions Facebook page

And from their cover pic, you can see that they are going to have plus size corsets soon! This is surely exciting especially for the plus size women out there. It is so difficult to get plus size corsets! Can't wait to see the launch!

Here are some 'about them' details taken from their facebook page. Their clothes are featured in Blurry Boutique in Bangsar for those who wants to have a look.

Some details about Trendy Confessions found on their facebook page


They take order via email. You can also leave comment on their facebook pictures and they will respond. They provided their handphone number as well in case you needed to contact them. Some buyers can be very 'gan cheong' when it comes to their purchase.


Trendy Confessions contact details


I like the styles they have. It is not those lame moody dull outfits. They have plenty of colours, prints and stripes. It really do justice for the plus size women out there, proving that everyone can have fun in fashion and be bold!




Here are some of the captures of their website. I myself prefer to view it via facebook because the pictures are bigger. It is more convenient as well. Or maybe I have become so lazy to click on another tab. HAHAHA.

Bird's eye view of the collections
Individual view of the dress
Prices are of course slightly more expensive. I think it is priced fairly considering the prices out there for plus size clothes can be quite expensive.


Besides that, i like that they modelled the clothes as well. 


It is good to know that there are blogshops out there to cater other women and not just the stick thin anorexic models wannabe. 


If you happen to be a plus size, do try them out!

Zavia Valora

This is an overdue post. I know I promised to blog about Zavia Valora but it has been delayed! So here it is now.

They are really new in the scene, not even 100 likes on their facebook page. Well, I am a bit tired of the major big ones so I decided to try the 'underdogs' now. HAHA

Zavia Valora runs via their facebook page here --> Zavia Valora

I just recently got to know them through one of my readers. I liked their facebook page, received a RM5 voucher

I browsed through their pictures and saw some dresses that I really liked. I decided to tryout, used my voucher and picked 2 dresses.

Paid via Maybank2u. FREE POS LAJU DELIVERY. Received my parcel and was happy!

Here are the 2 dresses that i bought from Zavia Valora (such a long name, so tiring to type)
Dresses from Zavia Valora
Loving this mesh top dress because of its design. See the waist part? It has a small lining there so it gives a better illusion for the waist to look small. The lining works like a small belt as well, and if you want to spice up the outfit, you can match a belt!  
Mesh Top Blue Dress from Zavia Valora
Besides that, the two small flip designs on the left and right is like a slight peplum but not totally. That is really good to cover up tummy fats! Well, we need all these small detail designs to help us look better!
Editted using another filter so the blue colour looks more obvious
The other dress is a stripe one. I picked it because I am totally loving the stripes trend right now. Too many people are into polka dots, a bit dangerous.


This cutting is TO DIE FOR!


The zip that runs across the chest gives it a very sexy look. The material is slightly thin but it works well because it is more figure hugging. It looks as though the cutting is quite simple but it is not. When you put it on, it totally gives you a S shape bodyline
Stripes normally makes people look fatter but because of the fabric of this dress, it does not. It actually helps you to look slimmer!!!! And the zip~~oh la la~~~ can just slide it down and look real sexy. Very convenient when you are out on a hot date. *ifyouknowwhatimean*
As I was happily touching my new dresses, I found a Surprise !!!!!


I got a free mask! Well, apparently if you spend RM100 and above, you are entitled to a free mask! Its a My Beauty Diary mask and damn it, it is a new series. I have never seen this in Malaysia or Singapore so I am really happy to receive it for FREE.
My Beauty Diary 2 step Mask. Free from Zavia Valora
I will review the mask soon! Though I don't know why I received a AFRICA HYDRATING PACK. Maybe its because Malaysia is as hot as AFRICA now. 


Check out Zavia Valora. I have to admit that I think their older pictures are not that nice but the latest updates are so pretty! You get both views, mannequin view and real person view. Loving the soothing green wall as background as well ;)

ASOS Cut Out Dress - Doublewoot, Attire Attic and IIvory Couture!

Thanks for the feedback. I know this will annoy most blogshops but readers love it and competition is important for consumers to get the best deals out there!


Here is one lovely dress sold on 3 online sites and all selling at different prices:-


IIvory Couture - RM60.00

Doublewoot - RM67.00

Attire Attic RM64.00

Attire Attic - RM64.00
As usual Doublewoot wins by selling it at the most expensive price, do note however that they give free poslaju delivery on purchase for RM100 and above. That means you need to buy another dress from them!


Cheapest is IIvory Couture! No free delivery though! So if you take poslaju, you will need to top up extra RM6 or RM7 making the dress total cost to be RM67.00. Same price as Doublewoot selling price but you do not feel obliged to buy another dress to get free delivery *winks*


Attire Attic doesn't give free delivery as well unless you are purchasing 5 pieces and above (which is not quite possible unless you love a lot of their dresses)


You can easily search Doublewoot on facebook or their website.


IIvory Couture runs solely via Facebook.


Attire Attic is still very old school! BLOGSPOT! GO BLOGSPOT!


Pick the best deals buyers!

Daphne Iking in Doubewoot Dress - A Copycat Design

So I was chatting with my girl the other day, browsing through online sites and this topic came up about local celebrities wearing knockoff or copycat designs.


This was because we saw Doublewoot's facebook posted a picture of Daphne Iking wearing one of their dresses known as the Cartney Spot Peplum.

Doublewoot's own Cartney Peplum Dress

Then it came to me that, one of our local celebrities is actually wearing something which is a copycat design? Isn't that a bit embarrassing? Imagine that picture of hers were published in foreign websites, fashion critics will surely know that it is not a genuine Stella McCartney dress!


For those who are constantly up to date in fashion, they will know that the design was from the famous designer Stella McCartney. Her range of polka dot mesh dresses were a big hit, spotting several high profile celebrities and models wearing them. Here are some of them for your understanding:-
Stella McCartney Fall 2011

Celebrities in Stella McCartney
Liv Tyler in Stella McCartney mesh polka dot peplum dress
I think it is okay for general people or also known as the public like us to be wearing affordable (don't want to be saying cheap cause some people might get sensitive and send me hate mails) knockoff designer dresses. But for celebrities, I don't care if you are a local celebrity or international, it doesn't look good! It is like carrying a fake designer bag to classy events where tonnes of people will be carrying genuine designer bags!


Here is our Daphne Iking attending a public event wearing a copycat design =(

Daphne Iking in Doublewoot's Cartney Peplum Dress

I think it is abit disrespectful to the designer as well. Being a celebrity and constantly under the spot light, one should know better than to carry themselves well. 


Wearing copycat designs not only shows how much respect you have for the designer, but it also showed how much respect you have for fashion


I am ashamed if Daphne Iking represents Malaysia in events wearing a copycat design! If you can't afford to wear a Stella McCartney, at least wear something from local designersYou can promote Malaysia designers, be proud of your country and for the least, show that you are smart in fashion!


Anyone thinks the same?

Fashion Feed - Harper Beckham

Everyone! 


Look how much Harper Seven Beckham has grown! Totally loving the cute cross back dress on her and the small little sandals!




Victoria Beckham herself with a sling back. A rare pick but it surely fits her considering she needs her hands to be free for little Harper! Crazy wedges too!

Whitesoot

Changed the layout! Hope you people like it!


Today's review is about Whitesoot! 

You can check out their blogshop at --> Whitesoot, their facebook page ---> whitesoot or follow them on twitter @whitesoot
Love their dresses! very elegant and classy. The way they style the model makes the garment even more attractive!

Whitesoot facebook page
They run mainly via their blogshop. All orders need to fill up the order form and payment is made to their Maybank or CIMB account. You will be required to capture a screenshot of your payment and email it to them to prove payment.
Their blogshop is very user friendly. Click on the tabs on the right and you can see all kinds of heading to answer your questions.



For example, I clicked on delivery charges and you will see the table of the charges depending on how many items are you purchasing. They highly recommend Poslaju because its fast and safe. I myself love poslaju delivery as well! NEXT DAY DELIVERY! who doesn't love it? We all want to see what we paid for ASAP right?



Prices are affordable as well. You can get dresses from as low as RM55 to the standard blogshop pricing of RM69. Measurements are provided and if you are lazy to pull out the measuring tape, they provide you with standard sizes for eg UK sizes.


Here are some of the dresses that got me eye glued to the screen!


Lovely vintage colour stripes dress with a simple belt that matches with the colour of the dress. The cutting is good as it cuts in a bit higher than the waist, paired up with the belt, it elongates your leg! Not expensive as well, only at Rm57!



Check out this POLKA DOT DRESS! Loving the design and the colour. So retro!






And this! Colours are always good to spice up your wardrobe. Not forgetting how much attention you can get by having striking colours on you. Easily pair it with a black blazer and you are off looking classy and yet formal for corporate affairs.



Try them out! Browse through their collection. So far I am loving what I see. Just that there is no free delivery =(
