Ollie is the new name for "Atas"

By Cynthia Lee (Guest Blogger)

Pictures speak a thousand words. And here you shall have a thousand pictures to bring you to the world of bling bling and gliteratti - in the most affordable way too!

Of course then comes the question...

 'Is it possible to have reasonably priced yet great quality products?'

Why not?

The recently launched online Ollie Jewellery could  probably be your most sourced portal whenever there is a need to glam up your look without much attempt to break the bank. Ollie Jewellery specializes in sterling silver jewelleries. 925 sterling silver to be precise ;)

'All our jewellery are made of .925 sterling silver. They bear a “925” stamp, to assure our customers that our products are made of 92.5% pure silver. All cubic zirconia stones are “AAA” graded, amongst the highest grades for the stones. At the same time, our jewellery is rhodium plated to enhance the shine and durability. We also ensure that our jewellery is nickel free.'

For you jewelry enthusiasts, I am pretty sure  your eyes would have scanned through these few important bearings: 925 stamp, AAA cubic zirconia and rhodium plated - some essential terms to loo for when on the look out for some fine pieces of accessories. And these are just what makes up those exclusive looking pieces at Ollie Jewellery.

With the intention to bring exclusive looking jewelries at an affordable price range, Ollie's range of jewelleries starts from as low RM45 and up to RM250 which I must say is pretty affordable for those who have luxe-chic tastes in accessorising but do not have much to spend. And these are silver pieces mind you!

Let's have a look at some interesting pieces that I can't take my eyes off!

Their collection of rings exudes the 'atas' feel despite it's simple design structure. Each piece is carefully crafted with 925 silver and adorned with zirconia stones of different cuts and finishied with rhodium plating to maintain the sparks in each piece.

With a price range of RM50 to RM250, put a crown to your finger to complement your look. Be it simple or formal, there is a piece to suit the different taste in every ladies out there.

And oh boyfriends!! If you are an amateur at ring-shopping, perhaps you can make this a small practise (which is at a much lower cost, but equally effective!) to cheer surprise your girlfriends more often without the need to save many months just for a single item ;)

From simple piece to the more datin feel ones, there's bound to be one that pique your interest ;)

If a glam ring is not your thing, what about something for your neck to drive that attention away from your bare face =D

With some pendants starting from as low as RM45, you could actually get these for your girlfriends 

as birthday gifts without having to worry about not getting something decent for them!

Check out more designs here: PENDANTS 

Your purchase comes in a hard jewellery box for storing

My Frankie is feeling a lil' bit 'atas' today ;)

The Swirl Earrings - RM135

Each side is encrusted with 9 small round CZs to bring out the right amount of sparkle to your look.

Triangle Pendant with basic chain - RM75 + RM40 (for chain)

2.5 carats trilliant CZ pendant enhanced by glittering round CZs on the bail to add extra sparkle.

I love this necklace the most. The sparkle of the zirconia is so bright that you just can't stop staring at how it is beautifully crafted despite selling at a mere RM75. The simplicity in cuts is enhanced with the clean and bright sparks of the stone itself. There are some smaller stones on the bail to add little details to this innocent looking pendant ;)

I do not know the actual quantifying standard for the usage of carats in precious stones, but any carat is good carat and this is in 2.5 carats ok!

Ever wondered why these zirconia stones in Ollie is exceptionally bright and sparkly? Each pieces are adorned with "AAA" graded Cubic Zirconia (CZ) stones, which is also known as man-made diamonds or simulated diamonds. They are cut to mirror diamond cuts, hence the excellent sparkle with brilliance (fire) that is similar like diamond. Gte to know more about these over here: Jewellery Info

Mirror, mirror, on the wall... Don't need you with Vanity Trove around!

By Cynthia Lee (Guest Blogger)

By now this beauty box needs no more introduction to the beauty junkie community. If you are still new to the world of beauty boxes, welcome on board!

Not a new name in the beauty box community, Vanity Trove Malaysia is a local extension of the original Vanity Trove from Singapore. Their April box needs no introduction as by now, most of you beauty junkies would have done a review or tested the products already!

The theme for April brings you the Shower of Summer - their theme for the month.

And what exactly do you need in summer? =D The box  comes just about time for this warm and humid April! All the thing you need to go through a hot and humid month is enveloped inside this classy white box ;)

Tadah!! 

Having Clarins in the box is a real joy to me and I am sure to a lot of other junkies too! Though it's not that difficult to walk up to a beauty counter and ask for these to try out before committing to a full sized one, the chances are you would most probably be cornered with Beauty Assistant reminding you the goodness of a bottle of whitening  lotion and slapping some on your wrist to see an effect that cannot be seen instantly. The chances are that you will be walking home half-heartedly with an actual bottle in your bag, not knowing if that's the right product for your skin. 

Thanks to Vanity Trove, you can now reverse the experience and have a try at the samples first at your convenience and later on proceed to the counter with a list of 101 questions for the Beauty Assistant before deciding for the ideal product for your skin ;)

For the April's edition, you get to savour the goodness of the Clarins White Plus Intensive Brightening Serum that claims to target different layers of the skin with the exclsusive Trans-Luminiscent complex that activates millions of light-reflecting  skin 'micro-mirrors' to help restore translucency for a fairer and more even skin tone. Doesn't that just sound convincing enough for you to rip off the satchet and start testing out the packet of goodness? =D

Clarins Intensive Brightening Serum

The one  color that cannot be left out during summer is of course the shimmery, earthy shade of brown for that sun kissed or tanned look. To complete that summery feel, the Kate Dual Tone Eyeshadow is a must have for all time! Open up the eyes with the lighter shade by using it as a highlighter. You can also create a gradual blend of colors by using both the colors with the lighter shade on the inner corner of the eyes and the darker shade at the outer corner. 

Kanebo Kate Eyeshadow DB

I can never say no to a mini sized perfume vial of any brands that comes in a beauty boxes. These vials are great to carry around to freshen up whenever you feel like you have been swarmed with a dash of smoke from the restaurant or clubs. 

The L'e Au D'Issey EDT, greatly known for its floral warm undertones fits the bill of a summery feel. Despite not having summer in Malaysia, the refreshing floral scent creates a harmonious and soothing scent-sation against the hot weather. 

L'e Au D'Issey EDT

Other products included in the April box is the Oriks Gemstone Nano Platinum Aqua Watery Cream. Developed in France, this moisturiser claims to smoothen out  wrinkles, tighten pores and brighten complexion - the 3 essential fix for most  young executives! 

Oriks Gemstone Nano Platinum Aqua Watery Cream. 

There's also Nail Wrap by Perkins that comes in funky designs, but suiting the theme of summer. I spotted some other reviewer with cutesy floral designs too! Great beauty accessories for all you non professional manicurist who still want to be able to DIY your own nail art, fuss free!!

There is also a piece of KilaDoll mask included in the box. No girls will ever complain about having too many masks :) The mask is made of herbal extract and uses 100% wood pulp fiber which means it is eco-friendly.

If previously you felt that RM60 is a bit too much to pay for some 'atas' beauty samples, now you cna have the equally 'atas' range stored in the same 'atas' packaging but at a not so 'atas' price anymore! Re-priced at RM50, Vanity Trove Malaysia is making their box more affordable for all of you beauty junkies!

So you may feel that RM50 could still be very expensive for a box of curated beauty samples, but what are the chances for you to be introduced to new brands and products without having to invest into an actual sized bottle after being smooth-talked by those skillful Beauty Assistant? =D

Despite the sudden hiccup  in the March box which got a lot of disapproval from subscribers due to the lesser than appealing size of products and the products itself, Vanity Trove managed to make everyone squeal with delight with their April comeback. It screams an awesome summer-ific surprise to the subscribers of the month. Well, I LOVE the April box!! Don't you love what you see here? =D

It's most probably too late for you to subscribe to the coming May edition of the box, which promises an awesome wholesome goodness of beauty delights, but never too late for you to start stalking for the June box!

The subscription cycle ;)

Don't stress about your tresses!

By Cynthia Lee (Guest Blogger)

There will come to a point in every girls' life that you want, or need, to look good. In fact, it should be everyone's mission to look good regardless of gender or age. Unfortunately, almost none of us wake up with hydrated skin, glowing complexion and lustrous hair ;(

Like it or not, almost all of us girls will have to wake up extra early just to set enough time for each part of our body. Slather body lotion in fastest motion - 5 minutes, face cleansing, toning and mositurising - 15 minutes, intense care with serum for whitening, anti-aging and hydration - another 10 minutes, priming the face for make up - 5 minutes, creating a base for the face - another 10 mins and the list just goes on! So much steps to go into before stepping out of the house! And more often than not, our hair gets neglected.

I am one of those tress-stressed women who have 12 items on the face and none on the hair. Sad, I know!

Behind these funky bleached tresses is a bunch of dead knots! T.T

If you have always been having issues in taming your tresses, hair products from Supermodel's Secrets could be your salvation.  With collagen and hyaluronic acid as it's main ingredients - a very synonim term for our skin, these are now available for the hair department too!

A.T Collagen Serum to tame those frizz away for a softer, silkier locks ;)

RM68 promotion now! Normal price at RM99

Say bye bye to frizzy hair with this Hair Collagen Serum

And no, these are not photoshopped pictures! 

Makes me want to give it a try now for that silky smooth feel! 

If serum is too much for your already prim and proper hair, but you still want to make sure that your tresses gets the best that you can provide to maintain it, a milder version of the hair collagen in cream form can do the job for you. For soft and shiny hair, grab a bottle of this potion: Collagen Silk Cream

RM48 promotion now! Normal price at RM88.

If you are a frequent abuser to your hair, not wanting to miss the latest trends of dip dying and perms of all technology and have thus created a massive destruction to your own locks, then perhaps you need a double whammy! Apply both of the potion to your hair on a routine basis for both repairing and maintaining of beautiful locks ;)

You can now get both at a discounted price of RM99 (valid until 31st April 2013)

Now that we are talking about hair, here's another product from Supermodel's Secrets that I find amazing! The 4-in-1 Secret Styler Hair Rotating Curler and Straightener is another best seller in their site that works well with almost any type of hair. It is like a cuter version of the ever popular Instyler!

The cute packaging that houses the Secret Styler ;)

The styler comes with a few functional buttons for operation and a LED display for temperature monitoring. You can set to desired temperature according to your hair condition level when styling. 

Comes with temperature switch to let you control how hot you want to roller to be.

Easy to manouvre and let it spin by itself!

Trying to create the Farah Fawcet 80's back sweep :3

And yes, I have seen Michelle trying it on her own hair and it really does work!

If you purchase the Secret Styler during this month of Supermodel's Secrets 3rd year anniversary, you get a whopping bargain! The normally priced at RM269 curler is now selling at a promotion rate of RM199 inclusive of postage. There's more! It comes bundled with a heat protection serum worth RM50 for FREE!

Supermodel's Secrets have many more hair related items to solve your hairy woes. Check out all of them here: ALL ABOUT A SUPERMODEL'S HAIR SECRETS!

Enter Luxola.

By Wei Ni (Guest Blogger)

If there’s one thing I love, it’s convenience. When it comes to shopping, lately I find myself too lazy to go to malls or even if during the off chance I am there I so rarely purchase anything. The whole idea of queuing up for a dressing room just totally turns me off, likewise when it comes to make-up and beauty products!

The thing about beauty products is that there are usually TOO many options and TOO many brands displayed at once. I can never decide where to look, unless there is something in mind that I already know that I am going to purchase, I’d rather shop online.

Enter Luxola.

An online beauty store that’s based in Singapore which brings affordable and premium brands from across the globe. I first stumbled upon them when I was looking to buy the famed Konjac Sponge.

I think back then you had to buy above RM150/180 (can’t remember the exact amount) to receive free postage to Malaysia so for my first purchase at Luxola I bought 3 Konjac Sponges and 1 Dr. Jart Silver Label Rejuvenating BB Cream.

Shopping on their website was an easy and fuss-free experience. I picked what I wanted, checked out, paid by credit card and received my items in about a week or so.

 

The items all come packaged with bubble wrap so there is no worry about your items getting damaged during delivery. They even include a couple of samples of some of their other products for me to try!

One of my favourite things about their website has gotta be that you are able to keep your cart items until you are ready to check out. So let’s say you are an avid window shopper like me, you can just simply ‘Add to Cart’ and it’ll stay there until you’re ready to check out or the item is sold out. Usually what I would do is I’d wait for a time when they are either having a promotion on an item I want or a storewide discount for whichever special occasion and I’ll proceed to check out then.

My top picks from their website has gotta be…

The Konjac Sponge Company

My sister is currently using the Charcoal one and I started off with the French Green Clay
and decided the French Pink Clay was better for me.
This product is gentle and cleanses your face well,
leaving behind a smooth, even and more radiant surface.

Sigma Beauty 

I’ve got their F80 Flat Kabuki Brush, E35 Tapered Blending Brush
and E45 Small Tapered Blending Brush. I started off with the E35 but
found that it was a little too large for my teeny tiny Asian eyes
so decided to go ahead and get the E45 for more precise blending.
I find their brushes have nice soft bristles and are pretty affordable for their quality.

Korres

Personally I’ve always kinda liked Korres, so when I saw they had the lip butter available
I snapped up one in a beautiful Pomegranate shade.
While I do not love the pot application, I do really like the texture and shade of the lip butter.
It smooths on wonderfully leaving your lips feeling hydrate and
the added pop of colour instantly brightens up your face.
I also love the soft fruity scent that is absolutely juicy and delish!

Tangle Teezer

A new addition to the Luxolateam!
I’ve never really been one to comb my hair but lately due to the many dye jobs and bleach
my hair has gone through in the past year, it definitely needing a little taming.
So when Luxola brought in these adorable little combs, I just HAD to grab one.
I picked… Shaun D Sheep! So does this actually work? Or is it all just talk?
Amazingly, the Tangle Teezer manages to comb and brush out all your tangles easily.
I don’t know how they do it, but it somehow manages to brush your hair
without having to tug and pull while still removing all your tangles. 

All in all, I am pretty satisfied with all my purchases from Luxola. I hope they will come up with more new brands soon as I am eager to see what other great products there are out in the market. Especially ones that are not easily attainable here in Malaysia!

Have you shopped at Luxola before? 

Do share with us your favourite purchases from them and 
if you’ve had any good/bad experiences we’d LOVE to hear from you!

Till next time,

Wei Ni out! ;)

Happy Shopping!
