Hi Beauties,

Introducing the Elegant Beauty Bag by Bag of Love. Bag of Love is founded by the ever lovely Mi Mi Teh. She never fails to give her subscribers the satisfaction of a beautiful bag. This month, the theme is Best of Beauty which features premium brands ranging from hair care, facial products, hand therapy and even a free manicure by Amante.

Are you ready to see the bag?

The Elegant beauty bag by Bag of Love.

It is really spacious and can fit a variety of beauty products. Great when travelling and also for storing all your beauty products away neatly. It is shiny and has a glossy feel. It is also simple and elegant looking, making it a very " POSH" bag. Very Victoria Beckham in my opinion.

A beautiful Message from Mi Mi with a cartoon picture of her sitting on this royal looking chair in a elegant black dress with the beautiful beauty bag resting by her side. She looks really elegant and sophisticated.

The content list of all the items in the bag with their price. We received two full sized items which is the Crabtree and Evelyn hand therapy that retails for RM30 and Dove Beauty nourishing body wash which retails for RM6.90. There is also a picture of all the full sized items, wish i had all the full sized items. Hahaha

Sorry the picture is side-ways but i can't seem to rotate it. But this is my favourite item in the Bag. It worked miracles for my face and I have to thank Mi Mi for including this in this month's bag. Its amazing. Please see my review on this item.

 Simply love this, if only i could afford the full size I would grab this item.

Kerastase Oleo relax. 

 Lavender extra sample by Crabtree and Evelyn.

 Calvin Klein Eternity for men and Calvin Klein Eternity for women. I call this two sample combo as a couple set. As you could use the female one for yourself and apply the men one on your boyfriend or husband and go out for a date and you both will be link for ETERNITY. Something creative i thought out.

Dove Beauty Nourishing body wash. I believe this is new and smells amazing when applied. Also you could apply when having a bath in the tub for added bubbles and scent.

A complimentary Basic Manicure by Amante.

A full sized Ultra-moisturising hand therapy by Crabtree and Evelyn, in their new somerset meadow range. It smells heavenly and amazing.

A 20% off on toiletries by Crabtree and Evelyn.

Also, another voucher from Calvin Klein for the Eternity for men EDT, which can be purchased for only rm119.

I love this bag so much, however, the pictures i included in my box are mostly sideways and I tried every possible way to rotate it, it appears straight but then turns whenever its in my blog. I hope you can still see pass the toxy-turvy images and find this review interesting. I never regret buying Bag of Love beauty bags because they never dissapoint. The owner Mi Mi know how to please each subscriber as she puts herself in our shoes when she thinks of the content of the bags, she makes sure we are always surprised and pleased with the contents. It is an amazing bag and very worth it. You should subscribe to Bag of Love because their bags are selling fast. I promise you, you wont be dissapointed. The products listed are always amazing and suit perfectly with my skin.

Elianto Fionatto Blush-Pecan 05 Review

Finding a blush that is a perfect shade for you can be really tough for girls living in hot climates such as Malaysia. Since there are so many skin types and skin shades, finding a shade of blush that suits you can be found after trying our samples of different shades of blush.

I am a person that feels a blusher is one of the most important make-up component to lifting and shading your face. You could also apply a blusher to contour your face such as raising the level of your cheekbone, sharpening the tip of your nose and also result in giving you a sharper jaw line with proper application and technique of the blusher.

The main area to apply a blusher is on your cheekbones, drawing a stroke from your cheek and pulling the stroke upwards towards the end corners of your eyes. Applying a blusher while smiling is the easiest way to apply a blusher at the apple of your cheeks.

Introducing a blusher from Elianto that is found in March 2013 WonderBox Malaysia.

 The Blusher retails for RM19 and can be found at all Elianto outlets all over Malaysia. It is a very natural shade and gives a little colour as it has more of an earthy tone. This colour goes well on work days, applied for a natural look and also when you want to keep the make-up simple but strike a bold lip colour, this blusher shade is right for you.

 Elianto is made in Italy and it has a very affordable price tag on all its Make-up and beauty products.

Shade 05-Pecan of Elianto. It comes with a beautiful flower design to add a touch of beauty to it. It also has a little glitter on the Blush, this adds a glow to your skin when applied. Simply amazing.

                                                                                      

The shade gives you a slight tan and colour to your skin. Also the glow that is created on your skin is beautiful. This blusher gives you sun-kissed skin when paired well with your skin. If this colour does not suit you, you could always try maybe a lighter shade or a darker shade to suit your unique skin.

My verdict:

This blusher is a good shade for me. I wouldn't say its the perfect shade for me to use daily as I prefer a little pink under-tone instead of a brown. But this blusher gave me a natural glow on my skin and is great for contouring my jaw line and shading the tip of my nose. It is also very easy to carry around, as the blusher casing can withstand a little pressure. Some blushers are not safe to be carried in a bag, they chip and break easily when carried, but this so far has been placed in my handbag and can withstand a little hard handling. =)  It also has an ideal price tag which makes it affordable for a new beauty junkie like me. Besides, a girl can never have too many blushers. A pink tone, brown tone or even a red tone if you find a perfect outfit to pair the blusher with. 

Bag Of Love- April with Love from Mother Nature

Hello Beauty Babes,

Well, this month I would have to say I was very unlucky because I received my Bag of Love one week after it was posted out because there were some issues with the courier service, they said they tried to deliver but I did not see them at all. So after receiving my bag that was a week late, it was drenched and was soaking.

The bleach-free canvas bag was discoloured and the name was quite faded. There was literally liquid floating in my courier bag. Well, because of me being unlucky that week I had to wait a few days and then received the second bag after chatting with the owner, Mimi.

She was so kind and understanding and instead of sending me just the product that leaked, she sent me a new bag. See how she is full of love? So this is what I received.. The unboxing begins..

Little Beauty Bag by Bag of Love, made of Bleach-free canvas

The Bleach-free canvas beauty bag is not only environmental friendly, it is also really strong to hold all your beauty products. It also has a non-woven tag with "Bag of Love" written on it which just shows a unique touch to the design of the bag.

Phytocitrus Shampoo by Phyto is simply amazing. It is for coloured hair and it is a colour protect radiance shampoo. It smells lovely and very soothing.

The next item is by Nuxe, which is a brand that combines both Nature and Luxury. This product is their BB Cream. It works great on my skin and shows amazing results. So happy to be introduced to Nuxe.

The next item is by Decleor, this is a moisturizing cream and it is also anti-pollutant to add to the earth-theme of the beauty bag. Another thumbs up to saving mother nature.

This issue they also included another very eco-friendly product by Burt's Bees, this is their Cocoa & Cupuacu Body Lotion which gives you 24-hour moisturization. I am tottally in love with this sample.

 

This product is only given to those who subscribe quarterly (Every 3 months) this is the mystery gift. I am not sure what others received but most quarterly subscribers received this. It is a Lip Balm made of beeswax and pepermint. It leaves a peppermint taste and cooling effect when applied. So I would recommend subscribers to purchase the quarterly plan to enjoy the mystery gift.

The little note by Bag of Love describing this month's bag and it shows a really cute girl with a green dress to honour Earth Month. Really thoughtful and cute!

Bag of Love greetings!

Product description of the Bag for this month! Super Love all the details and products featured on this issue.

Each subscriber also gets a Voucher for a Facial that is now worth only Rm98 by Decleor.

 So, this was last month's bag, however the contents inside are empty but I will be giving the Beauty Bag solely along with a full sized Contour Brush that is featured in this month's bag as well. The picture below shows the full size contour Brush by Definite that retails for Rm88.

The Contour Brush which is a major plus in the amazing products this month. It is worth Rm88 and that amount alone is worth more than the RM39.90 i paid for the bag. I will be giving this away this month to one lucky reader along with a few product samples. So hurry and tell me One item that is missing from this bag. Haha it is a game i created and the clues can be found from the product description. Another hint- * I truly love this product very much and I keep it at my bedside the minute i opened the bag!


Overall I would have to say I am totally in love with this month's bag, despite being unlucky at first I would saythings are turning our great. Bag of Love has a truly remarkable person behind the beauty bag. She is not only hard-working but never fails to understand each of her subscribers. Being a mother herself, I would have to say she made a great concept in support of Mother Nature. All the products are eco-friendly and does not harm the environment.

Loreal Professionnel Mythic Oil- Couture Edition by Dilek Hanif

Hi Beauty Babes and Beauty Dudes,

I just received my Loreal Professionnel Mythic Oil- Couture Edition by Dilek Hanif, Thanks to WonderBox Malaysia & Loreal Professionnel. I tried the product out and it was Simply Amazing!


Inspired by this ancestral beauty ritual, L’Oréal Professionnel reinvents the tradition of beauty oils with its latest hair solution. Using the finest oils to create special customized blends and fusing them with its technical haircare expertise, L’Oréal Professionnel introduces the amazing Mythic Oil, a range of four tailor-made beauty oils, each one targeted for different hair needs so that women can discover the mystic secret to beautiful hair.


Well first of all, what is Mythic Oil? Well as explained on the box of the Mythic Oil, it is....

"The Mythic Oil is a nourishing oil for all hair types with a blend of avocado oil and grape seed oil. It leaves  hair instantly more supple, tamed and glossy. Immediately absorbed for a lightweight feel and finish. Depending on hair type, dispense 1 to 2 pumps into your hand and apply to dry or damp hair."-Loreal Professionnel Mythic Oil Box.

Loreal Professionnel Mythic Oil- Couture Edition by Dilek Hanif

L'Oréal Professionnel brings you the revolutionary Mythic Oil and its range of nourishing haircare solutions for a tailor-made ritual of precious oils that offers hair personalized nutrition, incredible radiance and ultimate softness.

So upon opening up the Box, the bottle was attached with a Bracelet that is specially designed by Turkish Designer Dilek Hanif. It is really cute, beautiful and suits the Black and Gold theme.

Fashion Designer Dilek Hanif was inspired from her Couture collection which was presented in Paris Fashion Week. She then based the design on the colours and patterns which she used in her collection. She maximized the black and gold shades. She also played around with transparencies to gain on elegance, femininity and modernity but kept the oriental inspiration which is a key identity sign of Mythic oil.

The Bottle features a pump for easy application  and a beautiful bracelet on the top as a gift from the Famous Fashion Designer-Dilek Hanif.

Introducing the beautiful Bracelet. The design is very chic, feminine and classy.

The design of the bracelet. Isn't it fabulous? =)

A picture of me wearing the bracelet. It looks beautiful and very unique.

"Because every women like wearing bracelets! Amongst accessories, I believe a bracelet is something other people notice more and is the perfect complement to their clothes. By offering a bracelet I would also like to create a kind of “Mythic Oil” community."- Dilek Hanif

Ingredients of the Loreal Professionnel-Mythic Oil:-

The Main two ingredients featured is Avocado Oil and Grape Seed Oil.

Other ingredients include Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethiconol C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Limonene, Hexyl Cinnamal, Coumarin, Linalool, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Benzyl Alcohol, Hydroxycitronellal, Amyl Cinnamal, Geraniol, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Isoeugenol, Benzyl Benzoate, Cinnamyl Alcohol, Citronellol, Parfum/ Fragance

So upon, unboxing the Mythic Oil, I decided to first have a sniff of its scent and I can't quite describe it as it smells very nice. It also reminds me of a scent that is very luxurious and ancient. Like maybe Cleopatra's Time. I could not wait to try it out so off to the shower i went. I used a normal hair shampoo and conditioner and dried my hair half dry.

My hair which is damp and about to apply the Mythic Oil  by Loreal Professionnel.

After applying about two pumps starting from the tips of my hair and working it upwards towards a little below the roots. I was instantly greeted by the scent of it. I left in it and worked the oil with my hands and it magically dissolved into my hair. I thought it was going to be very oily and greasy feeling, but my hair felt so light and translucent. The oil was absorbed almost immediately and did  not feel oily at all. So i waited for my hair to dry by air for a further few minutes and I will show you the outcome of my hair.

After applying the Mythic Oil and allowing my hair to further dry and this is how my hair is.

Well, the results is almost instant. My hair was shiny, more tamed and had a bit more volume. I have to say I am in Love with this Mythic Oil by Loreal Professionnel. I had always been in love with Loreal Hair products but after being introduced to the Mythic Oil Range i am instantly hooked to the Mythic Oil itself. I am defenitely going to use the Mythic Oil everyday and I am sure to see better hair results.

The only thing my hair is lacking of is better hair colouring. If I have the right colour on my hair, it will look even nicer. My hair colour has faded over the months so its time I fixed my hair colour. Maybe this time, i hope to have my hair coloured at a Loreal professionnel Hair Salon.

There is also a Mythic Oil Hair range that includes a Shampoo, Conditioner and a Masque. I hope to someday purchase the whole range as it features a lot of natural ingredients like cotton seed oil.

So to elaborate further about the Designer of this Couture Edition of the Mythic Oil, Let me introduce to you the person behind the couture design of the bottle and Box.

Meet Famous Fashion Designer, Dilek Hanif...

           

''The words that better define my universe are energetic, positive and hard working. Their meanings are for me a lesson of life every day.''-Dilek Hanif

She is the brains behind the fantastic design of the Couture Edition, Mythic Oil By Loreal Professionnel. She is a Turkish Fashion Designer and features her Couture Line in Paris Fashion Week. She looks stunning and have amazing shiny hair.  I hope to have hair like hers someday. She based the bottle on her couture line which includes several gorgeous dresses. Images from her Fashion Show :-

Elegant and Bold with the design.

Cute, Flirtatious and Unique.

Her designs are outstanding, any girl would love to own or even wear any of her couture dresses. Maybe one fine day I would get the chance to see her designs live in one of the Fashion Shows during Paris Fashion Week.

So besides receiving the bottle of the Loreal Professionnel Mythic Oil-Couture Edition by Dilek Hanif, I also received a Paper Bag with the Mythic Oil Couture Design Logo and the paper bag was designed by Dilek Hanif as well. And it is beautiful. It also had the Black and Gold theme.

 















Isn't it classy? It has a touch of Luxury and Boldness. It also looks very Elegant and Unique. Amazing!!

My verdict of the product:

I have to say I am in Love with the Loreal Professionnel Mythic Oil- Couture Edition By Dilek Hanif. The oil is easily absorbed and leaves my hair feeling soft, shiny and beautifully scented. It radiates a glow to my hair making my hair look and feel healthy. The beautiful bracelet is a sweet gift from the designer herself and I am proud to be a part of the Mythic Oil community when I wear the bracelet. I hope to meet more people who are also part of the Mythic Oil Community. I would also like to share the discovery of this new hair product that I believe every women should have in order to obtain beautiful, shiny hair. Mythic Oil by Loreal Professionnel is simply amazing, to add to the fantastic Mythic Oil, a special Couture Edition of the bottle just adds further Boldness and adds a touch of fashion to a beauty product. 

Score: 10/10

WonderBox- April Edition Overloaded!

Hi all,

So I claimed my free box of WonderBox using my wonderpoints and I am super excited anticipating my box. When the door bell rang, I carried the package and this month it was quite heavy. Heavier than last month of course.

After opening up the GDex cover, it was beautifully bubble wrapped and had goodies filled to the bream! 

The ribbon was my favourite colour and its quite hard to find a ribbon in that shade and it looks beautiful. The box feels very heavy too!

Prickly Pear Travel Set for combination skin, very suiting for me! Gonna bring this set when I go travelling, I have also read reviews that it is very calming and has a sweet scent to it. So looking forward to trying this product out.

Upon opening the actual box, there were so many vouchers just staring at me ! My favourite voucher would have to be the Hishop voucher as I was just admiring their stage make-up set which is on sale now, and to have a further discount of RM25 is amazing!!

Brochures on items listed in the box that included the different variety of the products and benefits of the products.

Surprisingly this month did not include their usual postcard greeting, instead it was a combination of the front cover of the postcard but they included their Mission and Promise. Which is super  woots! It was very nice of them to re-assure their subscribers on what they will be striving for the upcoming boxes. They also delivered really well this issue to make up for all the complaints from the last box.

They also included a free underarm wax treatment at Strip worth 32.50 which i might actually try.

And finally all the goodies that were in the box!! Loving the Loreal Hair products, I am a big fan of hair products as I strive to make my hair very lushious and healthy! Loving the Clinelle Skin Soothing Scrub. All the products are of deluxe sized samples which is a super BIG PLUS!!

Overall I would have to say I am very happy with this month's box! The Prickly Pear travel set was a great sample that suited the Earthy theme that most beauty boxes are basing their boxes on. However, some people received Ronasutra's Blusher insead on the Clinelle Soothing Scrub, but if you asked me I would have loved both! I'm a big fan of Make-up but I have been having some issues with my skin lately and I would have to say the Scrub is working well on me. So things happen for a reason and I super love the Hair shampoo ! Loving Loreal to bits!

Thumbs up wonderbox! You did an amazing box this issue and keep up the splendid work!
This is their link if you want to subscribe, it is only RM39.90 a month!
