Monster High - Ghouls Alive

By Cynthia (Guest Blogger)

Helllo y'all!
And to continue with our Monster High sequel, here's some news about the recent happenings where these students of Monster High have been working on.

Monster High™ & Limkokwing Against Bullying Competition

I think not many have heard about this since this is not a highly publicized event, because monstas are humble! =D 

Monster High and Lim Kok Wing University of Creative Technology (LUCT) took a creative stance against bullying with the anti-bullying competition. The competition attracted numerous highly creative and impactful anti-bullying submissions to raise with the mission to raise awareness on the rising issue of bullying in Malaysia. I am sure many of us here have encountered some form of bullying case be it a mild or major one that could still haunts you. I still remember this rough kid in first grade that locked me up in the classroom as I was always the one who reach by 6am to school, and she most probably have nothing better to entertain herself and targets me -_- 

Anyway, the competition have managed to showcase many creative works of the LUCT students in various forms from songs, videos, T-shirts and posters, all carrying the same simple but powerful message that will help create anti-bullying awareness: “Be Yourself. Be Unique. Be A Monster.” tagline. 

Open to all Limkokwing Cyberjaya students, the entries were judged by an esteemed panel ofjudges including Ms. Kelly Yip, Dato’ Tiffanee Marie Lim; Ian Yee, Editor of R.AGE and Initiator of  

R.AGE Against Bullying Campaign; Nadine Ann Thomas, Miss Universe Malaysia 2010; and Ms. Grace Sng, Award Winning Songwriter and Vocal Coach of sTART Society.

All the finalist for the competition

The winning team - Team Alpha

News aside, here's another introduction to another small range for you Monster High fans and collectors - the Ghouls Alive series. The series showcases the freaky flaws of these ghouls ; Frankie Stein, Clawdeen Wolf and Spectra Vondergeist

So just what is it about these collection that makes it so cool?

Get ready for some creepy cool lights and sounds from 'em!

Here's my Frankie that gives you sparks!  Dressed in her uniform like plaid skirt ensemble, Frankie give you the creep when you press on her tummy. She glows! Her ribcage, skull and neckbolts can light a room up and her 'vampirish' screams is OMG scary!! I have never tried pressing her and shoved it to a smaller kid and see if they got frightened haha!! But it's a cool kind of scary!

Frankie Ghouls Alive in the packaging

See how Frankie got her lights : Frankie 

OMG those trendy shoes!!

Do you know that despite those sky high heels, you can make you Monster High dolls stands on it's own with just a lil' balancing. Haha, it's a fun challenge to try make all your ghouls stand and pose! In any case you have little patience and no acts of balancing, fret not, it comes with a doll stand anyway haha!

See how she can stand on her own on those heels!

The Ghouls Alive Collection features 3 main dolls ; Frankie Stein with her thunder-lightning effect and ';vampirish' scream, Clawdeen Wolf howls like a wolf with her eyes closed and Spectra Vondergeist make your hair stands up with her 'woo' sound while glowing.

Vanity Trove: The Curated Version

By Cynthia (Guest Blogger)

It's been a while since I have been parading my troves ... Vanity Trove Beauty Boxes to be exact  =D I felt extremely 'atas' when the recent purchase from Vanity Trove was encased in this cream based with gold lining box. Yes, sometimes packaging makes a lot of difference in a purchase. A pretty packaging makes a happy customer. This is by far the classiest box around! =D

The signature drawer box from Vanity Trove is now looking classier than before!

As usual there was a selection of 6 items allowed for a trove and these are what I have gotten for October 2013 :)

Decléor Aroma Cleanse Fresh Purifying Gel & Lotion (10ml)
Retail: RM118 per 200 ml for each bottle

Having tried some of Decléor products before, these too have the floral scent like the other range. A very pleasant one that refreshes your daily cleansing regime. It's also good to know that despite being produced with concotions of chemical-derived agents and catalyst, these are paraben-free product. 

Parabens are chemical preservatives that have been identified as estrogenic and disruptive of normal hormone function. It mimics the function of our naturally occurring hormone estrogen, and exposure to external estrogens has been shown to increase the risk of breast cancer. Read here for more info : Decléor Aroma Cleanse Fresh Purifying Gel & Lotion

Talika Lipocils Eyelash Conditioning Gel (2ml)
Retail : RM185 for 10ml

Derived from plant extract, it actually guarantees longer and thicker eyelashes in just 28 days! Great news for those who have never found a solution for naturally longer lash and depends solely on mascaras =D Claims to be able to give a lift for those who have short and sparse lashes, brittle and lack of lustre. 

Read here to know more about the awesome goodness it offers : Talika Lipocils in Vanity Trove

Nuxe Nuxellence Jeunesse (15ml)

Youth and Radiance Revealing Fluid

Retail: RM180  for 50ml

There has been so much rave about Nuxe this couple of months that I can't resist not getting it to try out. Upon reading the product info, it feels like I have found an obvious answer to anti-aging! It claims to be able to repair the mitochondrial DNA of the skin to reveal the skin youthfulness and radiance.

A pinkish based cream with a soothing scent of floral that is good to go as moisturiser for those with normal skin. You may need another layer of moisturiser for those who have severely dry skin as this may not give you the sufficient  moisture level on its own.

Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Multipurpose Dry Oil (10ml)

Retail : RM88 for 50ml, Rm148 for 100ml

The oil that doesn't leave you oily - Nuxe Hule Prodigieuse! Most of the Nuxe products have names that is almost impossible to be pronounced correctly, yet gives you the most of benefits =D I love the scent of this oil! It's not floral, instead more spicy and classic. With a  unique concentration of 6 Precious Oils (Borage, St. John's Wort, Sweet Almond, Camellia, Hazelnet Hazelnut and Macadamia) and Vitamin E, it leaves your skin silky smooth and with the lingering scent that is soothing. As it's not oily, you can use it on your face too besides the normal use on body for that boost of hydration.

Kiehl's Super Multi-Corrective Cream at 7ml

Retail: RM210 for 50ml

At the mention of the word 'Super' there is no doubt that this is another must try sample! I would say that no brands will be that bold to put the word 'SUPER' as part of the product name unless it really is super! It claims to be able to give results in just 4 weeks! This Kiehl's Super Multi-Corrective Cream claims is an anti-ageing cream that assist to correct various effects of aging in 2 weeks time and by the time you reach 4 weeks of usage, you are supposed to see the obvious results and efficacy of the cream, so it says. Well, what better way to see if it works, if not try this 7ml sample for 2 weeks :)

Astalift Day Protector SPF35 PA++at 7g

Retails at RM158 for 30ml

The Astalift Day Protector is a lightweight sunscreen lotion with a selection of SPF35 or 50, if not misdtaken as I noticed the one shown in Vanity Trove is SPF50 and I got a SPF35. Which is fine for me as I seldom leave the office anyway =D I like that it's not greasy and extremely lightweight. Formulated with Deep UV Guard Technology, it claims to protect skin against the most harmful UVA rays which most suncreen can't do. Another interesting component which is noteworthy: it contains Fujifilm's propriety optical powder known as "Light Analyzing Powder", the Day Protector White controls the reflection and absorption of light on skin's surface. Wow! Did they mean those Fujifilm negatives contains these powder that gives us the glow when our pictures are developed? 

Read here for more info: Astalift Day Protector in Vanity Trove

How many of you here have always been reading about Vanity Trove but are still hesitant to give it a try? Without Vanity Trove, I must say I have no idea that brands such as Nuxe, Decleor, Rodial and many more actually exist! Not a fan of shopping mall or that frequent in buying fashion and beauty magazines, I actually rely on these beauty boxes to equip me with the latest of beauty products worthy to try. And for RM50, I get to test and see if the Kiehl's Super Multi-Corrective Cream is going to erase some aging effects off my face, while getting to slather some Nuxe oil for silky smooth skin, and leaving home with a day protector cream that claims to be able to protect from UVA, and sleep over a youth cream that can repair mithocondrial cells for a youthfull face - what else can I ask for!?

And all of the above are curated by yours truly - because I know best what my skin needs ;)

Start curating your own too at Vanity Trove.

Die hard YSK fan?

By Cynthia (Guest Blogger)

I sure am! I even had to get a personalized 'YourShoppingKaki' necklace. Haha!

It's not something new in the online shopping platform. In fact it has been popularized since a year ago. But of course we can never have enough of it. I had a few of these bought from different sources, just to try out the quality. Not wanting to be mainstream, I love to pair it with other matching accessories just to give it a twist :)

paired with a heart shaped necklace for that extra layering

paired in contrasting tones of both silver and gold

another piece matched with heart pendant in silver chain

This time around I got another piece and it's from KEI MAG. Kei Mag is a local online fashion shopping site that features lots of simple yet chic collections from clothing, to jewelries, and accessories.  

I especially love the above! =D

Besides these basic accessories, Kei Mag also have a special section that brings you to a wholesome awesome range of PERSONALIZED ACCESSORIES. Yes, not just the ordinary personalized necklace that we normally see, but an extended range!

From the conventional necklace, to ear studs, anklets and even bracelets and dog tags, you can have of it glammed up with your personalized text. 

Necklaces, we can never get enough of necklaces!

Bracelets too!

I have gotten a conventional one for review and look what tags along!

Kei Mag sure knows best how to make a customer happpy! The personalized necklace actually comes with a jewelry polishing cloth! How thoughtful! I bet a lot of us would have never thought of polishing your jewelry before or after wearing it, and I only do with a tissue only if I see that the color seems to oxidise. Now with the polishing cloth tucked in the jewelry case, it's like a reminder to give 'em some wipes whenever you open the case ;)

Love that it comes in a hard cased jewellery box too!

From as low as RM88 onwards, you can get a customized jewelry for yourself of the bestie depending on your allowed budget. Not too sure how much it will cost you with all the customized work? Fret not! You can always request for a quotation before proceeding.
