Playboy 'Play It Sexy' Perfume For Women


Playboy Play It Sexy is a dark, intoxicating and seductive fragrance, with sensual and sophisticated aromas, ideal for "hot" nights.

Top notes: pink grapefruit, mandarin and pink pepper. Heart: jasmine tea, scented flowers and licorice. Base: vanilla, patchouli, sandalwood and tonka.




The bottle design is so cute. The bunny ears & bow are the USP of this range of perfumes, I reckon, but I find the eye on the bottle unnecessary. At first I thought it was a defective bottle!

Benefit Box O' Powders ~ Bella Bamba, Coralista, Dandelion, Thrrrob & Hoola


Benefit Box O' Powders are what put Benefit Cosmetics on the map. The cardboard packaging is still one of my favorites. So different and....out of the box.
I thought it would release more happy hormones if I put them all together in one post. 


Boxes of Bella Bamba & Hoola are different, they are flip top with mirrors, whereas the others are removable covers without mirrors. I prefer the removable ones, coz I'm afraid I'll rip out the flip ones since they have some magnetic thing that pulls down the cover every time- very annoying.

Etude House Angel Kiss Lip & Cheek Cream ~ Sweetie Angel


Etude House Angel Kiss Lip & Cheek Multi-tint Cream named Sweetie Angel is one of my favorite products this month. It's perfect for summer- it's a flattering shade of coral & it smells like grapefruit.


It is one of the best lip & cheek tints I've used so far and the cute packaging may have bumped it up to first place.

Yves Rocher Matte Tri-Tone Eyeshadows ~ All I Need Everyday


This is the very first Yves Rocher product I ever bought, and I'm quite impressed. This eyeshadow trio was the only thing I used everyday single during our 2-week vacation last month. It is so easy to use and has got all the colors I need for an everyday neutral, sometimes smokey, look. I love it!

This 2 1/2 x1 1/2 " palette is small & light, and it fits in my palm. It comes with a pretty good dual-sided sponge tip applicator-one side big & the other small and pointy, so I do use it quite a lot.

Yves Rocher Matte Tri-Tone Eyeshadow
There are about 5-6 shades available, and I picked Prune Rose...

Maybelline Hyper Sharp Liner ~ .05mm Tip!


I just liked 1 liquid eyeliner in the past, and that's the Loreal Super Liner with the felt tip brush. It was the only liquid eyeliner I used.

Until a better one came along...


Maybelline Hyper Sharp Liner! A ultra-fine liner with a .05mm tip. It's very black & waterproof- hence, long-lasting. It also didn't burn/irritate my eyes or anything when I applied it close to my waterline. It is sooo....easy to use! I wish they make them all that way.

I saw it in Cleo Magazine, decided I must have it & got why the salesgirls at Watsons had doodles with liner and glitter on their eyes.

Impeccably rich. Doesn't that sound umm....rich? This shade lives up to that name. It is one mac product that I'm in looove with at the moment. To be honest, it was more of a half-hearted buy, but after the 1st time I wore it, I've wanted to wear it everyday!

Sudocrem Skin Care Cream Review


Sudocrem. The first time I came to know about this cream was when I read about Cheryl Cole's Favorite Beauty Products in some blogs. She said that she uses it to zap pimples, and that 'this stuff works!' Women who adore her went wild, mainly coz it's such an inexpensive product and if it's good enough for Cheryl Cole, it's good enough for everybody!

So, what is Sudocrem?
Famously known as a nappy rash cream, Sudocrem’s clinically proven to soothe, heal and protect your baby’s delicate skin and works in three ways:
A water-repellent base forms a protective barrier, helping to stop any irritants (urine and faeces) coming into contact with the skin.
It both softens and soothes sore, inflamed skin.
It has a weak local anaesthetic to help ease pain and irritation.

Sudocrem contains:
Hypoallergenic lanolin, to help soothe and soften irritated skin.
Zinc oxide which reduces the loss of tissue fluid.
Benzyl benzoate and benzyl cinnamate which are ingredients of Balsam of Peru, recognised for its healing properties.
Benzyl alcohol, a weak local anaesthetic which eases pain and also acts as a disinfectant/antibacterial agent.

Lancome Glowy Ballerine Butterflies Fever Blush


You know that kick you feel when you get the very last Limited Edition product available in a store? 

Okay, imagine getting the very last LE product in, not one, but 2 countries.

I went asking for the Lancome Butterflies Fever Blush in KL & Singapore, and got it until a few days before leaving KL from 1 Utama Mall. By that time, I was only asking if it was available out of habit, and had predicted the answer- not "Out Of Stock', "Finished". But then....

Lancome SA ~ Hesitated first,"We might have ONE left."
She pulled a drawer in front of us. My hubby and I looked at each other, holding our breaths (he was tired of me whining over this for months, so it's important to him that I get this as well) She took it out, opened it to show us, and I exhaled.
"We held this for a customer, but....." I couldn't hear her anymore.


Glowy Ballerine was launched with Lancome's Ultra Lavande Collection, Spring 2011.

Prettify Your Clothes Hangers: DIY

 "No money to buy new clothes! I have nothing to wear! But *sigh* look at my cute hangers... ♥_♥"
On the very last night in KL, I  rushed to Watsons at 9:15 pm  to visit it for the LAST time. It closes at 10, at which time the movie we are going to see (Insidious) was also starting. On my way there, I stopped by this kiosk which, by the way, I had visited earlier that day, but all I noticed then were these vintage-looking telephones my husband didn't let me buy. This time I noticed the hangers and the price fit into my last-RMs-in-my-wallet budget. RM 20 (300 rupees!). I bought them without a second thought. So Meant-to-be, I thought to myself.


I had seen even better hangers like these in Miss Jo about 2 years ago, but they weren't available anymore when I'd decided to buy them.

So, back to topic- How to prettify your clothes hangers? The week before I left for vacay, I was shopping at La Senza and thought the hangers looked really cute. They tied gingham ribbons on regular/blah hangers. Just a ribbon! So simple! I have wanted to share that with you ever since.


Note: This is not a planned post. All my scrapbook stuff (the good stuff!) are in a box somewhere in the corner and I don't want to make a mess, so I'm working with whatever I have lying around nearby.
