I still remember when I was small and there were just me and my brother, we both were very active kids who would want to go out and play in the dirt every single day. We climbed trees, we ran and rolled on the field, we cycled our bikes and fell on the asphalt road and many more things that made our mom worried sick when she saw us came home looking like soldiers who just found their way out of the woods. Mom will sentence us to a mandatory bath using Dettol body wash while our dad will also make sure that in our family's first aid kit there is a bottle of Dettol Antiseptic to clean our wounds from falling off the bicycle. That's how I remember my childhood with Dettol and how I grew accustomed to having Dettol in my own place now as I'm already an adult. I can say that I even don't feel 'clean' if I can't have a bath with something smelling of Dettol, haha! I'm so Dettol-ized I guess?

Since I'm very much into Dettol products, surely I'd known that Dettol Malaysia has recently launched the sparkling new Dettol Gold range that is formulated to deliver 100% better protection against germs as compared to other antibacterial body wash (as tested against indicator organism). Coming in different sizes of packaging, the selection of liquid body wash, bar soap and liquid hand wash are already on the shelves with two variants named Classic Clean and Daily Clean that will make your bath time resembles a spa experience. Another aspect to be excited about Dettol Gold is that this new range of body cleansing products can be used by the entire family without the worry of skin dryness as it is formulated to be gentle on skin without stripping away your skin's natural moisture. 

Mr Matias Caride, the Marketing Director of Reckitt Benckiser Malaysia & Singapore said that the launch of Dettol Gold range is the brand's biggest innovation to date as the number 1 germ protection brand in Malaysia. At Dettol, they want mothers to have a peace of mind knowing that all members of the family receive the same amount of anti-bacterial protection.

Scha Alyahya, the sweet Malaysian celebrity and also mom to Lara Alana said that Dettol Gold has been helping her to keep her family happy and healthy. With her busy schedule of attending shoots, interviews, events and meeting people made her spent a lot of time in public hence increasing her chance of contact with germs and bacteria. When she's home, she wants to spend time with her baby daughter without worrying about spreading germs to her so thanks to Dettol, she doesn't have to worry that much anymore.

Personally, I have been using Dettol Gold Body Wash for a few weeks and I say that this body wash does not dry up my skin and it made me feel confident that I've washed away all the germs and bacteria clinging to my skin. I walk a lot because I don't have a car and I take public transport everywhere. While walking to and from home to the LRT station, I am exposed to the dirty air when passing by a few construction sites and I am also exposed to smoke from vehicle emission. When taking the LRT, I touch the railings, the seat and I get exposed to people coughing here and there so yeah, I feel filthy when I arrive home, no kidding. Thanks to Dettol, I can now have a peaceful mind after bathing because I know Dettol can help protect me from becoming a walking germ collection center, haha! 

If you're running out of body wash and handwash product or you simply don't have anything anti-bacterial yet, I recommend you to try the new Dettol Gold range and be happy + satisfied + confident like how I am feeling now okay? Let the Dettolution begin!

Love,

Assalamualaikum and hello readers! I was recently invited to witness the launch of Laneige Waterful Sharing Campaign 2016 by Amorepacific Malaysia and I'm so glad to finally learn how a corporation can give back to the society in need.

Collaborating with Global Peace Foundation, Laneige Malaysia launched its third instalment of CSR to bring water relief to two Orang Asli communities in Kampung Ulu Geruntum, Perak and Kampung Binjai, Pahang. The relief will benefit 500 residents in both villages which have been deprived of clean, drinkable water for daily use. These two communities have been consuming untreated surface water from rivers or ponds for drinking, cooking and washing. According to the CEO of Global Peace Foundation, Dr Teh Su Thye, the consumption of contaminated water in the long run does not only result in skin problems but also serious health issues like water-borne diseases and in some cases, death.

"Even if it is running water, it is still unfiltered so how can we be sure that it is clean? It can contain viruses, bacteria, parasites and animal urines which can lead to Leptospirosis" - Dr Teh

Laneige is targeting to raise RM80,000 through this campaign to facilitate the installation of the two water filtration system. Specially designed and developed by RIVIVA, the filter is a non-electric system that includes a unique siphon backwash feature and contains microfiltration as well as ultrafiltration membranes effective in the removal of impurities without the need to use chemicals. Hence, this filter is easily maintained without skilled manpower and it only needs to be changed once in five years according to a representative from RIVIVA.

How the water filter station will look like upon completion of installation

The Waterful Sharing Campaign 2016 will be held in three months from 1st May to 31st July 2016. You can take part by purchasing the Water Bank Limited Edition Water Bottle (1 per customer) for RM10 each if you purchase any Laneige Water Bank series product or at the price of RM40 per bottle if you don't purchase any Water Bank products. Aside from Laneige counters nationwide, you are also invited to support this campaign during Laneige Beauty Road at the Centre Court of Mid Valley from 2nd - 8th May 2016. All proceeds from the sale will be channelled towards Laneige Waterful Sharing Campaign 2016 fund.

Assalamualaikum and hello readers! I am usually a very selective person when it comes to perfume because I have this one undivided loyalty towards my favourite fragrance. Some people have a truckload of perfumes on their vanity because they feel the need to smell differently on different occasions but to me, I rarely found myself in that situation. 

I do have a few different fragrances that I like, but right now my focus would be on Enchanteur :) The first time I fell in love with a fragrance, I was 18 and fresh in the university. It was Enchanteur Belle Amour and I am still using it till today. How time flies..The reason why Belle Amour captivates me is because of the romantic yet refreshing feeling it gives to me when the notes settled down. It makes me feel girly yet confident, as if the world is on my side. Even my friends said that the scent suits me and it's my signature. One even said "when you're around wearing that perfume, I feel calm. Your scent is calming". Now even after 6 years I am still bringing Enchanteur Belle Amour in my bag everywhere I go ^_^ maybe this will be an lifelong affair, it's hard to break up and I dont want to live without my Enchanteur Paris Belle Amour.

Recently I was invited to Enchanteur Paris new fragrance launch and they actually came up with a new, limited edition fragrance that combines the three fragrances they already have : Belle Amour, Mon Amie and Adore together in a magical concoction called Magique. Created based on the latest world fragrance trends, the combination of floral, fruity and gourmand will excite the senses of the modern women and their beau. If you're familiar with Enchanteur Paris, their concept is the magnificent Parisian landscape with the iconic Eiffel Tower, where the lifestyles and flair of young and stylish ladies come alive.

Assalamualaikum and hello peeps! Recently I was invited to witness the launch of Scarf Machine by Aidijuma. Wondering what exactly is a scarf machine? If you are aware of the current trend, you'll know the abundance of food trucks in our local landscape right? Well, Scarf Machine is a mobile truck shop selling Aidijuma bawal scarves from the various labels they have such as the Blue label, Black label, White label, Red lable, Pink label and Green label. The differences are in their prices and designs, which you can check at their website for respective categories :)

A few years back, I had my first encounter with the brand Physicians Formula when I saw Bethany Mota mentioning their BB cream in her "Drugstore Waterproof Makeup" video she uploaded for summer preparation. Ever since then, I always hoped that Physicians Formula will make its way to Malaysian shore and finally now it's hereeee ^_^

A lil bit of intro on Physicians Formula, it's America's number 1 brand targeting working adults who seek glamourous makeup that comes in 'healthy' options like the organic and mineral wear makeup line. Price wise, I personally think they're quite expensive being in drugstore but since the target is working adults, I guess it's relevant. I was so glad when Watsons announced that they're bringing Physicians Formula in and it's now available at selected Watsons stores around Klang Valley, so let's take a peep on the ranges available shall we?

*available Feb'16 onwards

I have personally tried the Touch of Glow stick once. At first I was puzzled about this item, I thought it's a concealer stick. However when I read the box, Physicians Formula claims that it is a concealer, foundation, highlighter, and touch-up tool. It only comes in one shade, Nude Glow which is not so clever as the world's population consist of many skin tones. However to my surprise, as per now, I don't have anything bad yet to say about this Touch of Glow stick because it performed perfectly well on my skin. I used it on my entire face as a touch up and it blended well without any difficulties. Staying power was great too. I'll make a separate review post for this one after I'm done testing it ;)

So yeah, if you happen to visit the following Watsons outlet, do keep your eyes open for Physicians Formula products and give them a try okay? Price starts from RM39 - RM82.
