I’m such a coffee addict 
I need my cuppa in the mornings, before I even start feeling alive or begin functioning. I don’t drink a lot though, despite this “addict” label. I just have that one cup and I’m good for the day.
For convenience however, I drink instant coffee. Yes, I know full well that its sacrilege to say you enjoy coffee and then go make a cup of Nescafe 
But its convenient ok. However, when I really want a good cup of coffee (I don’t drink coffee from most chain cafes) I go here – RAW Coffee – Raw And Wholesome Food, a cafe located conveniently just opposite Suria KLCC. I don’t go often, but when that craving hits for good coffee, I make the drive there.
Many of us here in Malaysia are quite familiar with and have great fondness for the thick black brew found at our local coffeeshops (or ‘kopitiam’ in local parlance). Other than that nerve shuddering, spine tingling, bitter tasting brew we are used to, few of us are really any good at telling good coffee from bad. I went on a little Coffee Appreciation course late last year at RAW Coffee to learn about this.
Yes, I said last year. I’m tardy

A little while ago, I showed you some pictures of the Diorsnow Icy Halos makeup collection and there was a bit of interest in the blue lipgloss and how it might perform. Ok so here it is, better late than never ok? 
In the Diorsnow makeup collection, there were 2 Dior Addict Ultra Glosses released in the Flash formula, which is the sparkly one. Did you know that Dior Addict Ultra Glosses come in 3 formula? Now you do We get Crystal Frost #302 which is the blue gloss and Pink Freeze #362 which is the pink one. Interestingly, although they are both sparkly glosses, I found that one was markedly more sparkly than the other (I almost said sparklier but I don’t think that’s a real word even if I think so ) Here are swatches straight on lips and over lipstick.

There’s something new on the shelves from Revlon – ok 2 new somethings – a mousse foundation and a primer. You should start seeing it roll out on shelves starting from the month of May.
The Revlon Photoready Airbrush Mousse makeup foundation is available locally in 4 shades, with 030 Nude being the lightest available here. The texture is that of a mousse. Literally! You squeeze the nozzle, and the mousse foams out and you then use this mousse to apply to your skin. It actually reminded me of the Shu Uemura UV Underbase mousse, except that this is a foundation while the Shu Uemura one is a primer.

I tried some Clarins White Plus HP skincare once and you know what? I was not impressed. I didn’t like the scent, I didn’t like the texture and I found it too drying for my skin. So why do I have 2 bottles of the revamped Clarins Whitening Velvet Emulsion then? Because I like this one!
In the process of reformulating the White Plus HP Whitening Velvet Emulsion, Clarins worked on the scent and texture too. This new emulsion (new in the Clarins White Plus HP stables I believe) is light but not drying and it comes in 2 versions. One has SPF and the texture is a bit thicker, while another has no SPF and has a lighter texture and you can use it day and night.
I’ve been using these as my day moisturizers for over 2 months now (been too lazy to switch them out, bad me!) and I like how quickly they absorb into my skin and although the scent is strong, I like it. Its fresh and reminds me strangely of apples.
