Mustache in da house, please stand up!

By Cynthia Lee (Guest Blogger)

It's more than just facial hair - it's also the the latest fad that have been hitting the fashion scene! Started out as an iconic symbol for mostly accessories, the Mustache figure resembles that of a cult symbol of coolness.



 If you are cool, you definitely would want to be spotted donning a mustache, in any form ;) Dazzling Couture is the place to go! I noticed that they have practically a mustache in every category of their accessories!

Mustache and galaxy canvas totes going for only RM22!

Mustache watches going for RM29.90 each

They even have Mustache's shoes going for RM43

Assorted necklaces from RM3.90

Bracelets from RM5.90

Mustache ear studs from RM4.90

Rings from RM5.90

Dazzling Couture  updates every week, bringing in the latest inspired accessories from  the likes of Asos, H&M, Forever 21 and many other 'in-the-trend' inspired accessories, at the most reasonable retail price! price starts from as low as RM3.90.  A lesser known - but nonetheless delicious - fact about Dazzling Couture is that it also accepts wholesale purchases. With a minimum purchase of RM250, do inquire for wholesale rates, if you're keen to start enterprising. 

Something interesting that I spotted available in Dazzling Couture is the Mustache Velvety Flats! The flats comes with an inner layer of suede finishing (like a carpet!) meant to keep warm when you are stuck in an air conditioned room attending lectures. It's also a great pair to have and to be used during your winter vacation. 

How would you match this flats with your apparel? ;)

They have kitty flats too!

Got myself some quirky accessories from them too! ;)

Look at this Trove, treasures untold - til now!

By Cynthia Lee (Guest Blogger)

Beauty Boxes need no introduction anymore! But perhaps you do not know what are the available beauty boxes available in our local online market here in Malaysia. The first time I was introduced to this fabulous ideas of getting beauty samples delivered to your doorstep was via one of the very first beauty boxes ever introduced locally - by the now defunct Fabulous Finds (which we reviewed in A Fabulous Little Secret). Little did I know that there were already a presence of another beauty box subscription that delivers to Malaysia - all the way from Singapore!

Vanity Trove may not be a strange and unknown name to beauty junkies out there. Previously, those who yearns to get hold of the Vanity Trove beauty Box would have to subsrcibe from Vanity Trove Singapore. Here's some reviews on the Singapore's version done by Street Love: February 2012 and April 2012.

Now you have Vanity Trove Malaysia  -
Exclusively curated for Malaysians.


Their signature packaging of a sturdy drawer box.

 Thoughtful packaging!

VT February's Valentine Edition

Priced at RM60 for a box (1 month subscription), there is no denying that this is one box that stands in the exclusive neighborhood among all beauty boxes. A box consist of an average of 6-8 beauty samples (the average beauty boxes out there comes with an average of 5-6 items), complemented with relevant information leaflets for each product. There are also some discount vouchers of the relevant product brands, just in case you would love to splurge on the actual product after trying it out. Here's some of the available beauty samples in the VT February box:

 Di Palomo Moisturising Body Wash - when I opened the box, it smells so nice and I assumed it must have come from this tube here and immediately squirted some and rubbed in on my arms. Only realised a week later that this is a tube of body wash lotion and not body lotion -_-

Benefit Pore-fessional Pore Minimiser - totally a must-have item for those who wants flawless look when putting on make up. 

Oriks Wild Ginseng Stemcell Twister Essence - non oily and gel based essence that absorbs easily and leaving you with a soft and supple skin. This is not supposed to be an individual review of these beauty samples, but as I was snapping pictures, I sort of twisted the cap off and some of the gel came off. Didn't want to waste it and slap onto face there after =D

Oriks Wild Ginseng Stemcell Essence Twister BB Cream - 2 medium sized capsule based container that claims to contain 3 tiers of main item in it : the wild ginseng based lotion, concealer and repairing serum

b.liv Off With Those Heads - Blackheads Sebum Gel - not too sure on how this works: apply and squeeze the blackheads OR apply and leave on like any other lotion and it works to stop blackheads / whiteheads formation. Anyone got experience to share regarding this product?

Wella System Professional Hair Care Set - shampoo samples are great! You can keep it to use during times when you are travelling. What are the chances that you can walk into a saloon or any haircare counter (are there even any?) and ask for some samples to bring home to try? 

Something sweet for the month of Valentine ;)

The average price of a beauty box available in our local market averages about RM35-RM40 with each one offering a varying presentation of products and packaging, with an average of 5-6 products in a box. The VT box has slightly more items in it. If price is not your determining factor when purchasing a beauty box subscription, and instead you love the joy of testing out products or brand names that you have heard of but never tried before, this is a pretty functional box for the purpose of exploring new products at a fraction of the actual sized product price. Among some of the brands that you can expect to see in your future VT beauty boxes are listed here: Brands of Products

Product Review: Carmex Moisture Plus

Note from Sha-Lene a.k.a. Your Shopping Kaki:
When our blogging panel first discovered the existence of a lip balm brand called "Carmex", we were baffled - it sounded more like gasoline than a beauty product. So when Supermodel's Secrets sent Guest Blogger Cynthia the original Carmex lip balm to review, we were exposed to what we now dubb "Carmexism" - a new lip balm religion :P All our bloggers are Carmex converts - and there's no bigger fan of lip balms, or anyone we know who has tried more lip balms, than our Guest Blogger Mechell. Which is why she'll be reviewing the latest Carmex available in our local shopping community today :D Enjoy!

Product Review: Carmex Moisture Plus Lip Balm
By Mechell (Guest Blogger)
Available at: Supermodel's Secrets | Price: RM32 (RM35 including Pos Ekspres)

Hi shopping kaki! :) Guess what? I got myself a happy stick!





The difference is obvious, yes? I know it is obvious because my boyfriend managed to guess all correctly when he doesn't usually notice things like that, lol.

This little stick is a gem compared to other lip balms I've tried. I've read so many good reviews about Carmex, and the only drawback for me to purchase it was its price since there are other drug store brands I could get for less than RM20. :/ But you know what? Since trying Carmex, it's goodbye to the other lip balms I have, and let me tell you why!
  • It's not greasy! not sticky! - the greasiness and oiliness are my number one dislike when it comes to lip balms and glosses, so the ones I own all fail when compared to this one! :/
  • Upon application, there's a soft vanilla scent, which is sweet but not too overpowering. When I apply anything to my lips, I usually lick them off within minutes because I get so uncomfortable.
  • This time around, there was a slight minty, cool sensation when I applied it and this cool feeling lasted for awhile before it slowly faded away.
  • Not to mention it glides on smoothly on my lips even though they were dry.
  • and did I mention it's not greasy? so awesome!


Above is a picture I took of the real product :) That's the full size of the lip balm, just in case you were wondering how long it could last you.
Note: I'm really not sure how long it will last, since I've never actually finished one tube of lip balm before... I usually lose them or just stop using them, haha.

And to conclude, I am now, proudly, a Carmex Convert! :)

Do your lips a favor, and get your very own Carmex at Supermodel Secrets, for only RM32. If you consider the awesomeness of the lip balm and that you cannot get this anywhere else in Malaysia, this really is worth it ;)

Okie, signing off now to apply my lip balm and head for class! :)

There's nothing fake about quirky style.

By Cynthia Lee (Guest Blogger)

Have you heard about the new rave in town? I don't mean those rave parties and all. But it's the craze over faux-printed bags. No! They are not faux as in 'fake' (as in not authentic in brand), but a 2-dimensional printed pattern done over an inspired Birkin bag design. Mousse is the leading bag brand in Hong Kong that specializes in these printed bags. Branded bags are extremely pricey in Hong Kong and hence not everyone can afford to own a bag or two. This inspired the people in Mousse to come up with their range of 'fake printed' bag inspired from the branded bags that everyone yearns to have. 



The Mousse bags come in 3 sizes - small, medium and large, and each sold separately depending on your preference of your tote size. The price starts from RM249 up to RM349 from the smallest to the largest size.


Also comes in different shapes!
Lets' have a look at some of the available designs of the Mousse bags. I've selected some of those that I personally loved!



If you are a bag lover, these are a must have to upgrade your bag style to another level. Very similar to the famous Banana Taipei bag which also focuses on a single 'fake' print bag, these Mousse bag designs grow almost everyday! Choices are virtually limitless to suit the different preferences in each bag lover. I was told that these are a craze among Hong Kong celebrities as they are quirky and bold enough to exude that super duper sense of being fashionable and edgy =D

After all these ramblings, you must be looking for local links that you can click onto and browse thru the collection. Mousse bag is currently only available in Megane Collezione for all Malaysia purchase. Check out the range of bags available (both ready stocks or pre order) here: Mousse Bags in Megane!

Alternatively, if you want to see for yourself the real thing, head on to Megane's Boutique in Dataran Sunway, Kota Damansara to check these sexy new designs out.

Megane Collezione Boutique
Located at No 32A-1, Jalan PJU 5/11, Sunway Damansara
