PSP En Vogue: Haute Couture @ Pantai Sentral Park

My family and I were honored to be invited to the Haute Couture @ Pantai Sentral Park on a lovely Sunday afternoon. It was our first time visiting the stylish and artistic ICE Gallery at IJM LAND’s Pantai Sentral Park. The media and guests were invited to take a look at the latest fashion trends created by iconic Malaysian designers Fairuz Ramdan of FAIRUZ RAMDAN BESPOKE, Fern Chua of FERN and Xavier Mah and Alfred Hor of XALF. As a special highlight celebrity stylist and fashion critic Zaihani Zain also made an appearance and gave a talk about her personal insight into the fashion industry.

Rightfully labelled PSP En Vogue, the event showcased a wide range of intriguing creations from bespoke high heels and summery light dresses for women to stylish and elegant polo shirts for men. Not only could all those interested get some outfit inspiration, everyone who could not withstand their desire was also able to buy their favourite pieces directly on site for example for the upcoming Hari Raya celebrations.

Celebrity stylist and fashion icon Zaihani Zain shared her personal views of the industry in her talk ‘Are you FASHION enough?’

Grace Foo, Sales and Marketing Manager at IJM LAND, elaborates further on the idea for this event: “Our new township Pantai Sentral Park in the heart of the New Golden Triangle connecting Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur and Petaling Jaya is a premium development project that emphasises on quality living and the good feeling of enjoying all the exciting things that live has to offer. No matter what this good life means for you, we do our best to cover every angle so that everybody finds something they love about PSP. With PSP En Vogue, we want to provide our guests with an exclusive look into the luxurious world of fashion and design and have them experience the values of Pantai Sentral Park at first hand. And just like a fashion designer pays a lot of attention to details like stitching, the right fabric or the perfect colour combination, every aspect of Pantai Sentral Park was carefully designed to be ecologically sustainable, community friendly and economically efficient”.

Boost Skin’s Moisture with Hada Labo Hydrating Cream

The Holiday and festive season is approaching, Selamat Hari Raya in advance to all my Muslim readers! I am actually busy packing my bags for a family trip to Langkawi, this time I will bring along my new Hada Labo Hydrating Cream because it helps to boost my skin’s moisture in the warm weather under the hot sunlight. 

Formulated to restore hydration to the skin, the latest Hada Labo Hydrating Cream is enriched with Vitamin A, C and E encapsulated in yellow microbeads that gradually releases its nutrients upon application on the skin. These three powerful antioxidants work synergistically to infuse essential nutrients and hydration deep into the skin to reveal a radiant, smoother and denser skin. Now our skin is not only strengthened, but has stronger resistance against dryness while minimizing free radicals to prevent skin damage. 

Unlike any other hydrating creams, the Hada Labo Hydrating Cream also combines 4 types of Hyaluronic Acid (HA) namely - large-sized, medium-sized, super HA and nano HA alongside the botanical nutrients to constantly lock, replenish and store moisture from the outer surface to the inner layers of skin. In addition, it is formulated with High Performance Penetrating and Deep Moisturizing Technology (HHP&M), which helps to penetrate moisture deeply into the skin layers, forming an effective moisture barrier for a perfect, moisturized skin. 

The Hado Labo Hydrating Cream is pH balance and free from alcohol, fragrance as well as mineral oil. As such, it is suitable for normal to dry skin. I like it’s instant moisture and non greasy texture a lot.

Lancôme Juicy Shaker – A Fun and Delicious Pigmented Lip Oil

This July, let’s have fun with Lancôme Juicy Shaker. We had attended the sensational vibrant launch of Lancôme Juicy Shaker at Zouk Kuala Lumpur not long ago. 

We were honored to be the first few that witness the reveal of Lancôme Juicy Shaker. It was love at first sight as I was attracted by its cute petite packaging. Opened up the bottle, I can smell the delicious scent and the soft spongy applicator is easy to dap over my lips.

In fact, the brand new Juicy Shaker is a lip gloss that comes with amazing scent and gives us natural colour payoff. Its bi-phase technology delivers the first pigmented lip oil with two distinct phases. 

Juicy Shaker's bi-phase technology

The first phase features a transparent oil for a comfortable, non-sticky shine. Formulated with a blend of five nourishing oils, it treats our lips like a lip balm. Peach kernel oil, a well-known emollient, softens lips while sweet almond oil conditions, apricot oil hydrates, and cranberry oil provides rich antioxidant properties. Muscat rose oil, which is rich in essential fatty acids, helps to soothe our lips. The second phase provides pigment for a touch of color.

It is so fun to use! Just shake the bottle like a cocktail shaker up to five times to emulsify the pigment and oil together, and then tap the cushion applicator onto lips for a tint of color with sheer finish. The cushion applicator enhances application by delivering the perfect amount of non-sticky shine and a sheer tint of color to lips. 

Shake shake shake, dab dab dab

I love the sheer color payoff but if you opt for a more pigmented look, you could build a base using lip liner or matte lipstick then tap on Juicy Shaker, and for a plumped lip look, tap onto the corners of the Cupid’s bow on the upper lip.

Lancôme Énergie De Vie: a Shot of Hydration

Bonjour, welcome to the month of July 2016! This month, Lancôme launched the new Énergie De Vie which is available at all Lancôme counters nationwide today onwards.

Suitable for the generation of 25 to 35-year-olds: “Gen Y”, Lancôme Énergie De Vie gives our skin the positive energy while hydrates it. As we know us, the Gen Y is having intense lifestyle with social networks, going out until the early hours of the morning, our skin inevitably goes hand in hand with fatigue. Not only conventional fatigue, linked to a lack of sleep, but a general, so-called urban fatigue, an emerging phenomenon linked to the constant demands of the modern environment.

On the face, fatigue can be seen primarily around the eyes, where dark circles, bags and puffiness appear. But also in the complexion, which lacks radiance and luminosity. The features are drawn and pulled, making the face look more severe. Skin is dehydrated, its texture loses its fineness, and imperfections and fine lines appear.

Throughout your twenties, these visible signs of fatigue are soon erased by resting and the skin recovers very quickly. After the age of 50, they amplify the signs of ageing. But what happens around the age of 30? This is the time when signs of fatigue, such as dehydration, a dull complexion, wrinkles and sagging. In other words, the signs of fatigue that take root day after day in the skin could already be the first signs of ageing. At the age of 30, this is nothing serious however, it’s the time to act.

Hence, Lancôme has developed and launched the Énergie De Vie skincare range that helps us fight against fatigue to the signs of ageing. To prove ÉNERGIE DE VIE’s effectiveness, Lancôme organized a real “crash test”: “The Day after”. The idea? To test the effects of the smoothing and glow-boosting Liquid Care and the overnight recovery Sleeping Mask under real conditions on women exposed to urban fatigue: less sleep at night due to a very young child, outings of all kinds, long hours spent at the office. The protocol? Just before going to bed, apply the overnight recovery Sleeping Mask, repairing skincare to be used after a busy day, and on getting up, apply the smoothing and glow-boosting Liquid Care, which has been designed to be as fresh as a lotion, as concentrated as a serum and highly moisturizing.

The results are conclusive. The skin appears more hydrated, smoother, plumper, fresher, more luminous and more energized.

Énergie De Vie skincare range consists of 6 products below;
