L’Occitane Immortelle Foaming Cleanser

When I want reviews and recommendations for skincare and sunscreen, one of the sites I turn to is Viva Woman. Sesame who runs it, is a well of information and does her research. So anyway, my foaming cleanser that I use for the mornings is on its last pump and is discontinued. So, I thought to try something new.

I remembered that Sesame had once written about a L’Occitane brightening foaming cleanser that she liked. So, having some spare cash available, I thought to give this one a shot.

I’ve never used L’Occitane facial products before so this will be a first! My purchase is coming from StrawberryNET.com at US$28 a bottle; so I’ll have to update in a week or two.

It’d better be good eh?

Have a good weekend all!

PRICE UPDATE: I called the L’Occitane store in KLCC. This Immortelle Foaming cleanser is retailing here at RM103 (US$32+ at an exchange rate of 3.2) So I guess the answer to this question is - its cheaper at  StrawberryNET.com!

Stay beautiful,

JK Rowling’s secrets of transformation

I don’t usually pay a lot of attention to celebrities but one day, I came across an article in the Daily Mail (UK) about JK Rowling famous author of the Harry Potter series. I used to like reading the Daily Mail. It was a fun newspaper - rather tabloidy but fun.

Anyway, the article was focused on JK Rowling and the improvements in her looks throughout the years. I’ve attached the pictures here to make it easier to read. But do read the article in the link above. It is terribly informative and a good read.

All I can say is “WOW!” She looks simply amazing in the last photo - positively radiant and glamourous. Isn’t it impressive what money can do for your looks?!

Coach launches the New Ergo collection

I received an email from Coach today announcing the launch of the new Ergo bag collection. A while ago, I wrote about being taken in with the Coach Ergo shoulder bags. The ones I was looking at were these:-

As far as I know, the Coach Ergo hobo is one of Coach’s classics, which is the first bag on the left. The other 2 are relatively new in the collection.

To boost the Ergo stable, Coach has come up with even more designs and colours. There’s More! Continue reading →

Lunasol Lipstick promotion - RM48 only

I saw this Lunasol ad in a local magazine a couple of days ago, and I knew I had to spread the word.

You can now get a Lunasol Full Glamour Lips lipstick for only RM48 if you bring along any old lipstick to the counter. Lunasol lipsticks usually retail for RM88 each and you can just about get a Revlon lipstick at RM48 so why not try out Lunasol?

I was at a Kanebo counter at Lot 10 Isetan yesterday and can vouch for the credibility of this promotion. I did not buy any though as I did not have a spare lipstick on me and the available colours are limited. Still, if you do find a colour that suits you, this might be worth a look. Promotion is available while stocks last.

I’ve never tried the Full Glamour lipstick, but you can read my review on the Lunasol Intellectual Lips lipstick.
