Thursday’s MOTD with Maybelline New York

Ola, how’s Thursday been to you thus far? I’m feeling so hot and furious with the recent extremely warm weather. Hence I decided to put on a simple makeup look with Maybelline New York’s  Hypersharp Power Black, Volum’ Express Lash Sensational Mascara and Velvet Matte by Color Sensational to chill myself down with the simple yet beautiful look today. 

Maybelline New York’s bestselling eyeliner Hypersharp Liner is now revamped to blacker than black for naturally defined yet intense eyes: the new Hypersharp Power Black. This latest addition to Maybelline New York’s #1 eyeliner franchise sets the scene for the ultimate eye drama so that you can show off your eyes and say, “Watch out for the New Me!”

With the same 0.05mm tip that you have come to love from Hypersharp Liner, Hypersharp Power Black lets you easily draw thin lines to create naturally defined eyes in a single stroke. What makes it a standout is its blacker than black shade to give you a dramatic effect for eyes that are bolder and more powerful.

I paired Hypersharp Power Black with the latest mascara and lip color: Maybelline New York Volum’ Express Lash Sensational Mascara and Maybelline New York Velvet Matte by Color Sensational for my look. 

The new Maybelline New York Volum’ Express Lash Sensational Mascara has a lash catcher brush – a first for Maybelline New York – reveals 100% of all your lashes. This unique fanning brush features 10 layers of bristles in a unique curved arrangement. It sweeps up every lash, unfolding layers upon layer of lashes for the fullest, full fan-effect your lashes have ever seen. From corner to corner, top to bottom, no lash is left behind.

Laneige Waterful Sharing Campaign 2016 - to Provide Clean Water for 500 Orang Asli Residents

Laneige Malaysia (Laneige) has once again launched its annual Waterful Sharing Campaign and this year, the brand collaborates with Global Peace Foundation (GPF), an international non-profit organisation in offering water relief to 500 orang asli residents living in the remote areas of Kampung Binjai, Pahang and Kampung Ulu Geruntum, Perak.

Currently, both the villages do not have access to clean treated water and have been consuming untreated surface water from river or ponds for drinking, cooking and washing. According to Dr Teh Su Thye, Chief Executive Officer of GPF, there have been numerous cases of skin problem reported which could possibly be due to consumption of contaminated water.

"Daily water supply comes only from a pond or river nearby and sometimes villagers complain of dirty water especially during the monsoon season. While skin rashes are among the common symptoms being reported thus far, drinking contaminated water in the long run is more likely to cause serious health issues such as water-borne diseases, and in some cases death," said Teh.

Through this campaign, Laneige targets to raise RM80,000 through the sale of its Water Bank Limited Edition Water Bottle, which is sold at only RM10 each with every purchase of any Water Bank products or RM40 without the purchase of the Water Bank products. All proceeds from the sale will be channelled towards the Laneige Waterful Sharing Campaign 2016 Fund to facilitate the installation of two water filtration systems; one for each village.

电影《火锅英雄》

感谢mm2 Entertainment，我们在昨晚预先观赏了将于4月21日正式上映的电影：《火锅英雄》。作为2016年香港国际电影节的开幕影片，这部电影题材新鲜，故事内容紧凑，绝对适合所有年青人观赏。没有去过重庆的我，看完电影后倒是蛮期待去那里游玩的。

《火锅英雄》由陈国富监制、杨庆编剧及导演、陈坤、白百何、秦昊、喻恩泰联袂主演。该电影讲述了合伙开洞子火锅店的三兄弟刘波、许东和王平川，在 扩充店面时意外挖开了银行金库，面对天降横财，三人陷入抉择拉锯之时与老同学于小惠重聚，由此展开了一个“惊天大案”的故事。 

麻辣火锅飘出黑色幽默的味道

“片名不具有吸引力，让人以为是一部普遍平平无奇的电影，结果一看却让人有惊喜，充满黑色幽默气息。”一位观众看完《火锅英雄》后直呼没想到影片那么好看的评论。很多观众称赞这部电影就像重庆麻辣火锅，具有浓郁的地方特色，融合犯罪、悬疑和情感元素，看完后很过瘾。

阳光帅气的陈坤

第一次演社会底层失意的年轻人

片中，陈坤饰演的角色跟以往不同，第一次饰演社会底层失意年轻人，其落魄、挣扎、痛苦的形象非常到位，几段内心戏煎熬到嘴角抽搐的片段十分惊艳，尽力还原人物本身的平民气质。在不少影评人的评价是：“这种小人物的表演难度极高，做惯了大明星的陈坤能重新拾捡起普通人的味道，回归到生活的质朴本色，实属难得。”有观众夸道：“导演与陈坤都是重庆人，感觉他们不是演员，而是我们身边的人。”

Journey of The Green Tea Seed Serum at innisfree’s first pop-up store in Pavilion KL

Far in the East, lives innisfree The Green Tea Seed Serum who roams amongst the greens of Jeju Island, South Korea. 

Beyond the pristine shores of Jeju, the serum is vastly popular amongst fans in different countries and cities, especially where innisfree has planted its stores.

Seeing that it has many inni-friends across Asia, The Green Tea Seed Serum has decided to tour this part of the world for the first time just to meet fans and make new friends.

During the ‘Journey of The Green Tea Seed Serum’, the serum will stop over in Malaysia from 18^th to 24^th April 2016 at innisfree’s first pop-up store in Pavilion KL (Level 3, Bukit Bintang entrance).

“This pop-up store is a way for Malaysia to welcome and celebrate the arrival of The Green Tea Seed Serum in a way that is consistent with our efforts to engage with our supporters and new friends while also bringing the wonders of Jeju Island to them,” said innisfree Malaysia Brand Manager Johnny Nam. 

The Green Tea Seed Serum was a little overexcited and booked an early flight to Malaysia in its eagerness to meet inni-friends. Stuck without a plan, it looked for an opportunity to experience Malaysia.

[Review] EVERSOFT Skinz Youth Recall Booster Mist
