Chandelier earrings add glamour

I’ve noticed that in recent years, the chandelier earring phenomenon doesn’t seem to be waning. If anything, it is still going strong. However, the trend appears to have moved away from large ornate designs to more simplistic designs. The only constant is that the earrings are long and elaborate. Just as chandeliers beautify a home, chandelier earrings add a touch of glamour to your accessories. Which girl doesn’t feel like a million bucks with glittery shining chandelier earrings hanging down to her shoulders?

GSK responds to Panadol scare

If you have received an email telling you about how dangerous Panadol is to the liver and kidneys, GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) would like to dispel those rumours.

This is a release from GSK’s Medical Director dated March 2007. You may click on the picture to get to the larger picture so you can read it.

I haven’t received those emails myself, but for me, I only take Panadol and even then, only when I need it. Those who know  me will tell you that I don’t take medicine when I can and I hate going to the doctor unless I absolutely have to. Anyway, I guess its reassuring to know that if I do take Panadol, my kidneys and liver aren’t going to shrivel up like raisins.

Stila: Mandarin Mist collection - limited edition

Stila Cosmetics specialises in cute girly makeup and I do have a touch of fondness for their makeup line. I like the soft texture of their eyeshadows and the rather more muted yet wearable colours available.

Stila scored a hit with their baked makeup last year - baked eyeshadow trios and blush duos and they look to be repeating their success this year, with the launch of a new fragrance - Mandarin Mist, and a new Mandarin Mist collection to compliment it.

Mandarin Mist fragrance - A light, crisp citrus fragrance with notes of mimosa and yuzu fruit. Sounds positively delish!

Mandarin Mist eyeshadow trio: Cool -Â High shimmer eyeshadow. Light pink, cool taupe and rich brown.

Mandarin Mist eyeshadow trio: Warm -Â High shimmer eyeshadow. Peach, Warm rose and golden brown. I would be keen on this one.

Mandarin Mist cheek colour duo -Â Soft peach and rosy bronze blush duo to highlight and contour cheeks.

I called up the Stila counter in 1 Utama and was told that it is not here in Malaysia yet but will be expected maybe in August 2007. This is Stila’s limited edition summer collection so expect it to sell out quickly. Last year’s did. The eyeshadow trios and blush previously retailed for RM120 each, so expect similar or same prices this time.

Massage away cellulite

Summer is here and with that means sunning yourself on the beach, if that’s your thing. Some women are afraid of showing off their body or legs in swimsuits or short skirts because of that dreaded orange peel skin effect caused by cellulite. Even the late Princess Diana was not spared the horror of cellulite, if you remember the infamous photographs taken of her legs after exiting from a gym.

If you stroll into the pharmacy, your mind will boggle at the many creams and gels telling you how to get rid of cellulite just by using them. With research, it is established that massage is probably one of the best ways to get rid of cellulite and stretch marks. Massage promotes blood circulation which breaks down the fatty deposits.

An interesting new method of getting rid of cellulite is being promoted by a glass rubber massager. This Massager operates on the basis of vacuum suction, to keep the skin in place while a cellulite exercise is being performed on the affected area.

Many people have proclaimed to have great success with this rubber glass massager which can be done on yourself. Some people have said that a cellulite diet helps remove cellulite but at the end of the day, only massage has been known to remove or rather, reduce the appearance of cellulite. The before and after photographs show the effectiveness of this rubber glass massager.

This rubber glass massager is retailing for $29.95 for 2 and you can now use a promotional code “rgppp” which you can enter at the checkout to get them for only $19.95 + shipping. Great savings to keep your legs looking smooth by the beach or pool!
