随便写写: Anlene & Kiehl's

The Anlene booth attracted my attention when I was helping out at International Health Fair Exhibition at PWTC last weekend...

I was there for 2 days and on the second day, due to "encouragement" from friend (or else I hardly buy any healthfood for myself other than for beauty's purpose), I went to Anlene booth and discovered this new pack of Anlene concentrate which claimed to have 4x the calcium of regular milk. They sell in a pack of 4 for RM6. I don't know the selling price outside. But I decided to give it a try and buy 3x4's + 1 free umbrella which totalled to RM18.

My colleague saw me carrying this jokingly remarked to me that I was influenced by Michelle Yeoh. In fact, I didn't realise that Michelle Yeoh was actually promoting this new release on the Anlene TV commercial until I went home on that day and watch the TVC more carefully. I thought it was just an ordinary commercial from Anlene using Michelle Yeoh as their new spokeperson. (so, now you know you can't rely on just 1 advertising mode but a good mix of marketing tools in order to successfully market/launch a product.)



This small packet of vanilla-flavoured, low fat UHT, hi-cal milk is only 125ml in volume, which is smaller than other ordinary packet drinks. It tastes good especially when chill. This small serving is, in fact, a brilliant idea, as the good taste makes you can't stop sipping and without you realising it, it is finished within seconds.... and you are just about to relish the fullest taste in your mouth.... It doesn't make you feel full as a normal creamy milk will. It makes you yearn for more. And I look forward to the next day when I can have my next packet of Anlene concentrate! This small packet is also perfect for people on the go.

Went for shopping one day and spotted Kiehl's second outlet in M'sia that was already opened in One Utama, new wing.
An American cosmetic retailer, Kiehl's has more than 150 years of history but was only brought into M'sia market last year, thanks to Loreal. Its first outlet is in Pavilion, KL.

Do be forewarned that thier products are rather expensive but not that high-end though.
The beauty consultant was rather friendly and kind enough to give me a 5ml sample - Pineapple Papaya Facial Scrub - to try even though I didn't buy anything from her.

This facial scrub is moisturising but the beads are rather course and if you scrub for too long, the skin will become quite dry. My skin did appear brighter after scrubbing. However, I still find the brand I am currently using (RoC) better as it's more gentle to the face (and cheaper).

For those who are interested to explore the brand --> http://www.kiehls.com/

飞来横祸

星期六的大清晨~
才刚要出门,
我的车却被飞来横祸不堪一击。。。碎了 。・゚゚・(≧д≦)・゚゚・。

在路旁割草的印裔工友一不小心,
把路上的一块石子飞弹到我后座的车镜,
结果就酱子 ~ 整片裂了



前阵子才刚把车修好,
现在又要送入厂。
我看我的保险公司都要喊救命哟~
希望恶运就到此为止。

New Releases this Month

My two fave singer/band are releasing their albums this month...
Hooray!!! (^0^)/


~The long-awaited VOICE from Mika Nakashima~
which will be released on 28.11.2008
The coolest and beautiful Japanese singer ever!!!
I guess she's the only singer whose original CDs I've never missed (except for the Best collection) ever since I start downloading songs from the internet...

"Must-listen" from this latest album --> Orion




The gorgeous and talented foursome brought together by Simon Cowell is finally releasing their 4th album this month.
They may be singing some old songs but they interprete them differently, perfectly and beautifully. To me, it's even more exciting to watch them singing live!!
They are simply amazing!!

"Must-listen" from this latest album --> The Power of Love

省钱经

我并不吝啬,虽然也不是名牌拥戴者,但好像积储永远都那么少,
好失败哦。。。。・゚゚・(≧д≦)・゚゚・。
可能大都花在穿的和护肤产品吧!

因为我喜欢打扮自己,所以很舍得买漂亮的衣服穿,
买counter品牌的skincare。。
因为我坚信一分钱一分货。

我试过买比较便宜的衣服穿,却穿了两下子就破了,
好气!!!
但我也买过百多块一双鞋子来穿,却穿了约半年后,
因为过时而没多望几眼,好后悔~
所以发誓以后决不买贵的鞋子穿!

虽然如此,但我好讨厌被钱束缚着,
不能买自己喜欢的东西,好可怜哦!!
但也不要误会我是月光族。
那是绝对不可能的!
我才不会入不敷出那么crazy。
我驾的车可是kelisa而已呢!!

直到最近 ~ 跟一位朋友交谈、分享以后,
才发现"fail to plan”是那么地“恐怖”。
我这位女性朋友没有下一代,三十多岁,
一位银行branch manager兼保险MDRT,
可想而知月薪不错,却一星期工作七天,
身上穿的都却是rm20+的衣服,而且引以为傲!!!
我相信我没本事好像她那样。。。
也很佩服她。
或许我就是永远不会发达。

不过 ~ 自此以后,
我开始衡量自己的spending habit。
虽然要改不是一朝一夕的事,
但会逐渐cut down,
可能会变成“算死草”也说不定。

庆信自己不曾买过名牌,
因为怕有了第一次,就会有无数次。。。
也幸好身边的朋友也不是爱花钱的人。

至于爱买漂亮衣服的这种习惯呢。。
由于衣服容易过时,
所以我也会尽量买布质剪裁好的,价格又大众化的。
因为我有个旧同事好厉害,
穿的衣服不只漂亮,价格也看不出来这么便宜,
但她的秘诀是常常“血拼”,看到便宜又漂亮的就买。
我可要向她看齐。

Skincare产品我还是会选用适合我皮肤的,
不然导致过敏发而更浪费钱。
不过,无关痛痒的如cleanser之类的,我会试用mass market产品。
相信这是好的开始吧。

Fighto uUshuuss!!!

BRTC BB 试用分享

之前介绍过BB cream和用处。
也谈到过很多使用者都认为BRTC最好用。



结果~
好不容易给我找到了。。。
这是我通过网站购买的BRTC BB Cream试用样品。
其实是一位Johor的女子通过自己的部落格卖的。
相信她是去台湾或托人在台湾购入。



里面有4小包sachets,共RM25:
1. BB美白修饰乳
2. BB控油修饰乳
3. BB防晒修饰乳
4. 珠光BB修饰乳

一小包大概可以用2、3次。
至今我只用过美白和珠光。
试用结果嘛。。。
味道蛮香,还不错,比skinfood来得好闻。
coverage也算好,自然。
唯一的缺点(也是致命伤)就是,
用了的第2、3天就会发现脸部显得有些粗躁。
那是敏感的现象,或代表不适合我的肌肤。
因为我年纪越大,皮肤越容易过敏。
所以里头成分一有不对就得停止使用。

起初不信邪,
后来用了不同的两包产品还是有轻微过敏现象,
就不得不信了。

还好买的是试用装,
不然BRTC这个牌子并不便宜哦!
不过暂时在大马找不到。
