Assalamualaikum and hello! This is a totally random post as I am experiencing brain-block while suffering with acute hungriness when there is still 30 minutes left till I finish my shift. I saw Cindy posting a picture of seafood ravioli and suddenly it reminds me of mushroom ravioli eaten by Bella Swan in Twilight. I am a mushroom addict, I love everything mushroom and if possible I always want to have mushroom in my meals. But of course, that does not happen a lot. So, I was wondering how mushroom ravioli would taste. I quickly googled for it and found one recipe that I think I would be able to try at home, of course with mom’s help as I don’t think I can knead the dough. So, that’s all for now, and my mushroom ravioli craving continues.

p/s : my colleague Rachel asked me to bring some mushroom ravioli to the office when I successfully made it. 

Assalamualaikum and hello! Say welcome to COLLECTION COSMETICS, the most colourful cosmetics brand from UK upon its arrival to our Malaysian shore ^_^ yes darling, stop admiring at "Obama is here!" and focus on COLLECTION okay? :p For your information, COLLECTION has been in the cosmetics field for more than 25 years and they are always supporting women who are very experimental and keen to play with colours. Celebrating high street trends as their inspiration in producing cosmetic products, COLLECTION does not only come with a reasonable price tag, but their products too are indeed colourful and thus, leading to their brand essence of "Work The Colours". 

I had so much fun exploring the fresh, newly arrived products of COLLECTION cosmetics firsthand. My attention was automatically directed towards its Cream Puff Matte Finish Lip Cream (RM19.90) and Lasting Perfection Concealer (RM19.90) because I recognized these 2 items from my blogwalking to UK beauty blogger's blog. Apparently, Lasting Perfection Concealer is a HG concealer for most UK/US beauty bloggers due to its outstanding performance and pocket-friendly price. I even found 1 review here that claimed  COLLECTION's Lasting Perfection Concealer as a dupe to NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer, so, I'm definitely going to get this at Watsons!

This is the lipgloss that catches my attention during the launch. Hotlights Lipgloss came with a built-in light inside its cap and when you apply the lip gloss on your lips, the lights will shine directly onto your lips so, touching up in total darkness will never be a problem. Brilliant isn't it? It too came with a built-in mirror on the side of the tube so if there is no mirror around you won't even have to worry ;) 

Seeing this Cream Puff Matte Finish Lip Cream reminds me of NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream. I never owned both of these so I do not know how they performs. However, I really love the fact on how smooth it glides when I swatched the colours on my hand (as you can see above) and the smell is so sweet it practically reminds me of cream puffs! I definitely cannot wait to check COLLECTION Cosmetics stand at Watsons One Utama and get one or two Cream Puff Matte Finish Lip Cream! (full review here)

So, I hope my post is beneficial to you all and I also hope that you guys too cannot wait to get your hands on COLLECTION Cosmetics ^_^ They are available at all F Block boutiques and Watsons pharmacies at major shopping malls in Malaysia (I noticed that for now they're only in KL, Selangor, Negeri Sembilan and Johore). I also hope that they will always have their stands fully stocked as I believe they'll be quite a hit in Malaysia ^_^

Among the lovely collection for Spring Into Summer Dreams edition are Vivacious Valentine, City Chic, Cut Out For Love, R For Red, Cute Carry-Alls, Graffiti Gorgeous, Quilted & Quirky, Sensational Slings, Mini Must Haves, Wallet Wonders, Heels That Lift You Higher (shoes), Baby Steps (shoes) and Bow Beautiful (shoes). I have actually seen these latest collection in a booklet I received from buying CLEO, and then once again I got a bigger booklet at Secret Recipe The Curve and ever since, I think my dreams are always filled with these collection. I really can't stop admiring the Quilted & Quirky bags (especially the blue ones with cat pattern on it) and also the Vivacious Valentine range. I wish I can have them all! Oh, don't forget that Graffitti Gorgeous too, I bet any girl spotted with it will instantly look so chic and envied by many ^_^ I made collages to fit all the latest collection, anything catches your eyes yet?

After the fashion show, we bloggers were given a tour around Carlo Rino boutique (Lot F069, Level 1, Mid Valley Megamall) to have a closer look towards their bags and shoes. I also learned that Carlo Rino just came out with a perfume called It's Me. There was a Snap & Win Facebook contest where patrons were required to snap a picture with any Carlo Rino product and post it on Carlo Rino's facebook page. 3 winners walked away with a full size It's Me perfume ^_^ So what do you think ladies would do when they're in a boutique? Sit tight? No, we all went crazy checking out all the bags and shoes, while trying to think (and suppressing that shopaholic self in us) of which one to purchase and not burn a huge hole in our pockets. Oh yes, one more info I should share with you guys, if you purchase anything at Carlo Rino Mid Valley, use your JCard and get some additional discount ;) I did and I'm very grateful to that.  

CARLO RINO BOUTIQUE - MID VALLEY MEGAMALL

I did purchase something from Carlo Rino on that day, but that will be revealed upon request :p So, I hope you guys enjoy this post as much as I do coz I definitely can't resist Carlo Rino handbags and I'm planning to get more XD. If you need a new handbag or feel like doing a handbag stock makeover, sprint fast to Carlo Rino boutiques nearby and get this Spring Into Summer Dreams collection before they ran out of stock! Till then ;)

Coming to the product itself. Upon pumped out, the gel is blue in colour and it went colourless when spread on skin. It's texture is like thin gel, since it is water based it does not feel heavy or greasy on skin. It has a pleasant smell that I really love which is not too strong and it doesn't linger for long either. The gel gives instant cooling effect on skin for a few seconds. Based on my experience of wearing it, Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel SPF30/PA++ gives my skin the needed moisturization and my skin doesn't feel dry or tight throughout the day. I work in a fully air-conditioned office for 8 hours daily so this gel so far worked well to keep my skin moisturized. However, my skin tend to feel a bit greasy after 4 hours so I need to blot to avoid my face looking shinier than what I'm supposed to be :p

As for the sun protection factor, this product does a decent job as my skin does not feel 'burned' when I was walking to work at 9.30am. However, after lunch, I usually wash my face (for ablution) and reapply again. I also believe the perspiration on my face upon walking under the scorching sun to the stall for lunch have washed away whatever sun protection I have on. The good point is, whenever I have this on, my skin does not sting when exposed to direct sunlight. 

Above all, Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel SPF30/PA++ is a decent moisturizer and sun protection gel to be used. I really love the fact that it hydrates my skin well, makes my cheeks feel soft and bouncy at the same time and has a pleasant smell. The sun protection factor is sufficient for medium sunlight exposure, but if you're sweating buckets after wearing Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel SPF30/PA++ then I think it is best to reapply.

What is your favourite moisturizer and sunscreen? Do you prefer 2 in 1 products like this?

Assalamualaikum and hello. Thanks to Hiruscar Malaysia, I was given the opportunity to attend the launch of Hiruscar Beautiful Campaign, a corporate social responsibility campaign where 3 most inspiring people with scar histories were celebrated. The event took place at Blue Zone Boulevard, Publika. We were first welcomed and briefed about Hiruscar and how the product is created to help people with scar problems. Being the only revolutionary scar healing gel in Malaysia, Hiruscar was created with a Swiss formulation to ease and speed up the process of skin recovery. 

Apart from the inspirational story sharing session, there is also a photography exhibition on the daily lives of the three awardees of Hiruscar Beautiful Campaign, which is displayed at Level G1, Blue Concourse, Publika on April 11. Starting from April 12-20, the exhibition will be at Level G3, Blue Concourse, Publika. The public is invited to view the photography exhibition, so if you're hitting Publika anytime till 20th April, don't forget to spend some time and learn how these inspiring souls can survive and keep going on despite their physical or mental challenges :)
