:: live clean and happy with method ::

Living with cats is fun and exciting, yet annoying at certain times. We have 5 cats; 4 of them are siblings while another 1 was rescued by hubby from neighbour's drain. Believe me, cats are just like human beings. They have individual personality and that contributes to the fun and exciting part because they can make you laugh and in awe with their behaviours. However, the annoying part comes when I am rushing in the morning, fully dress to work and one comes brushing his/her fur all around my black pants. Another part is when returning home from work and 'welcomed' by pools of cats' puke on the floor. Honestly, I have cleaned up more cats' puke than my own son's but that is just part and parcel of having pets at home. 

Few weeks ago I found cleaning products that are animal friendly and most importantly, safe for use around pets. They are specially formulated to put the hurt on dirt without harming our furry babies.

They are called method

Love at first sight: I'm so into their modern and sleek packaging

 

Armed with its distinctive packaging shape, effective non-toxic plant-based formulation, vibrant fragrances and sustainability practices, method is the real deal!

 

Highlights:

• No animal testing - method performs absolutely no animal testing on any of their products and does not endorse, request or commission any animal testing on their behalf
• No animal by-products - instead of using animal by-products, they use innovations like renewable plant-based stuff tha tare 100% gross-stuff-free
• Cruelty free company - in 2006, PETA named their co-founders Adam Lowry & Eric Ryan as their 'People of the Year' and recognized method with Proggy (progressive business) Award

 

As an animal lover, these facts are in line with my personal believe and value. Animals should not be harmed because nowadays there are other available alternatives in testing and developing a products.

 

method squirt + mop wood floor cleaner

This is the cleaner that has been making my life easier these days. I have been using it for two (2) purposes; regular floor mopping as well as spot cleaning.

With 5 cats running all around the house everyday, paw prints are often visible on the floor especially in the kitchen as the wood is darker in colour. Just like its name, I only need to squirt few splashes of liquid on the floor and start mopping using a damp mop to keep the area clean. No need to dilute liquid with water and no rinsing required, hence saves a lot of time!

Personally I prefer to mop the entire area twice. First with the product, while second time only with damp mop and I found the result is excellent as the floor will look flawless and 'silky smooth'. The best of all is the soothing almond scent. I could not describe how the exact smell is but it's totally different from normal cleaners out there which usually have fruity or chemical smells. Totally addictive. I was impressed to know that the sleek design bottle is made of 100% recycled plastic. Yeay to the spirit of saving our mother earth.

Every mid week or weekend our 5 furry friends have their 'makan besar' of wet food. Just like kids they usually leave leftovers and stains on the floor. With the squirt + mop, I no longer need to frown at the mess because with one squirt and a damp cloth the area is clean, smooth and smells good.

Not only that, I also use squirt + mop after cooking to clean up oil stains on the kitchen floor... and also cleaning all the yucky cats' puke  x _ x

method limited edition designed for good hand wash gel

After every cleaning up, it is important to keep myself hygienic so as such, I will use either one of these lovely method limited edition hand wash gel.

method believe in design as a force for good, which is precisely the inspiration behind their 'designed for good' hand wash. The naturally derived, biodegradable formula comes in 2 unique, nature-inspired fragrances that remain constant while evolving original designs tell a series of though-provoking stories. 'Designed for good' is a platform that allows method to partner with design stars, charities and others who share their commitment to caring for people and the planet.

 

Mimosa Sun to me smells like tangerine and reminds me of hot summer days, meanwhile Botanical Garden smells like a garden full of lilies. Both leave hands clean and smell so fresh.

:: my recipe for beautiful, translucent skin ::

The weather is so hot and humid these days. Without we may realized, humidity caused our skin to dehydrate and prone to breakouts. I decided to save my skin before it is too late so one of my agenda during weekend is pampering my face with a mask.

The latest mask that I have worn is KOSE Sekkisei Lotion Mask. It is the most powerful mask I have experienced as it gives instant lift to the skin.

The Evidence.

 I did not use any kind of filter and the picture was taken under the same lighting. Before, my forehead and cheeks were a bit rough but after being Sekkisei-ed both areas turned out to be silky smooth and radiant. To me, a product can be categorized as really good if the effect is continuous until next days and KOSE Sekkisei Lotion Mask is no doubt in that ‘really good’ category.

My skin maintains its smoothness; hence powder glides easier than before. Not only that, Sekkisei Lotion Mask also gives whitening effect to the skin. Even my husband compliments the result.

The one that I am using already came in the form of mask so I just took it out of the package and placed it on my face for 5 to 10 minutes before sleep – no rinsing is required!

For the bottled lotion, the 5-steps guide is below:

1)      Pour SEKKISEI Lotion into cap until it reaches the line

2)      Put mask into the cap

3)      Allow mask to absorb lotion till it puffs up

4)      Unfold the mask and place onto clean face for 5-10mins

5)      Remove mask, tap the excess into the skin until it is absorbed – no rinsing is necessary

KOSE Sekkisei Lotion Mask is based on a “beautiful translucent skin recipe” compounded with three main oriental plants extracts such as:

·         Coix Seed Extract – able to increase metabolism, whitening, moisturization and prevention of skin roughness

·         Angelica Extract – contains disinfectant, whitening and moisturizing effects

·         Melothria (white lotus) Extract – suppress melanin production which gives whitening effects to the skin

If you noticed, the three key ingredients produce whitening effect and indeed, KOSE Sekkisei Lotion Mask is the best whitening product available on the market today!

As what I have experienced, it also enables to balance out skin’s moisture level, prevent dullness, roughness, as well as redness caused by sunburn from the sunlight. More reasons for me to love the mask are the lightness of its texture, ability to blend instantly into the skin within minutes and the refreshing after-effect. To summarize, there are nine (9) benefits altogether such as translucency, penetration, moisturizing, zero pores, whitening, smoothing, firming, relaxing and evenness.

The Sekkisei Lotion can be purchased at every KOSE counters nationwide in bottles of 200ml (RM170) and 360ml (RM260). It is not necessarily used on face but also on neck or any part of the body.

:: halal vitamin e makeup remover ::

Makeup remover is a must-have item for frequent makeup users like me as it can ensure cleanliness of the skin. Sometimes I really have to push myself to do the clean up after a long, tiring day so I would prefer an efficient one which can remove the stains as fast as possible to get over with it.

It is worrying to know that our face can age up for more than two days if we sleep with the makeup for one night and you can read HERE and HERE to read about horrifying stories on what sleeping with makeup does to your skin.

My old makeup remover finished just in time before Cosmoderm launched its own range so I was in need of one and got excited to try it. The first thing I noticed about the product is the pleasant smell. Although it contains rosehip oil, the liquid is not oily and best of all, it removes makeup easily just like I want it.

I did took photos of myself before and after but there was not enough lighting so it was hard to see the difference, hence I made a simple simulation using my hand as below:

Direction on the bottle stated the product to be squeezed on facial cotton but it can also be poured directly on hand before massaging it on the makeup area. I always take the opportunity to rub my entire face because not only it helps to remove makeup, foundation or powder, Cosmoderm Vitamin E Makeup Remover also has the ability to reduce oil seed with constant usage.

It can be rinsed off with water but I am so used to washing my face with facial cleanser after the session but magnificently, my skin feels even more soft and moisturised. With its endorsed halal certificate by JAKIM, Cosmoderm Vitamin E Makeup Remover is definitely a keeper!

 

Now selling at only RM13.52 for 100ml

(Np: RM16.90)

 

No need to go anywhere, just click link below to directly purchase from Cosmoderm's website

:: the best female hygiene wash ::

Previously I have been using this particular brand of feminine hygiene wash but the relationship did not last long because it made my skin dry. I thought I am allergic to hygiene wash so when a friend introduced me to Cosmoderm Manjakani Hygiene Wash I told her I may not be able to use it. I still took the sample though, gave it a try and who knows, it has been a part of my daily life ever since.

What I like the most about Cosmoderm Manjakani Hygiene Wash is the cooling sensation so it literally gives me this fresh feeling and comparing to the previous hygiene wash, the liquid is highly concentrated. A small blob from the bottle is enough for one use, hence an entire bottle lasts longer although being used everyday so it is a real cost saving. The liquid is brownish in colour and I never question why however I have been told that this is due to concentrated amount of Manjakani inside and that is a good fact because as a woman, Manjakani can helps tightening vagina muscles especially after birth.

Morale of the story: there is no harm in trying a new product because you never know it might suits you really well. For the first timer, Cosmoderm has introduced a 100ml bottle of Manjakani Hygiene Wash at only RM11.90 for you try one. They are also running a contest where you can win a free honeymoon trip with your hubby so that is another good reason to buy one because you never know your luck, right? Here is some details on the contest for reference.

A bottle with 4-in-1 benefits:

> Firming

> Lightening

> Soothing

> Cooling

*Cosmoderm products are available at leading pharmacies (Vitacare, etc) all across Malaysia and can also be bought online. Check out their website for more details.

:: protect & whitens ::

- Do you want to protect your skin from harmful UV rays?

- Do you want your skin to look naturally flawless?

- Do you want to have a fairer skin tone?

If you say yes to all or even any of the questions above, you might need to consider wearing this powerful lil thing:

It's the PERFECT SUNSCREEN by COSMODERM

I have to admit that I did not really care about UV rays before but now after learning about the short term and long term effects, I have made a move to wear sunscreen as my daily routine. Perfect Sunscreen by Cosmoderm is the best choice because besides protecting my skin from harmful UV up till 8 hours with Sun Protective Factor (SPF35) and PA+++ (maximum protection from UVA), it also works as a foundation. What I like the most is its silky smooth texture and its ability to cover blemishes only with thin layer of application, hence makes one bottle lasts longer than it should be. Hey, that's value for money ;-) My skin even feels smoother thanks to the sunflower oil and hopefully the jojoba oil plus vitamin E can help to reduce that nasty shingle scar on my forehead.

Perfect Sunscreen not only suitable for ladies but also for gents and comes in 5 shades: Nude (suitable for teenagers and men), Natural Pink, Natural Beige, Medium Beige and Tawny Beige. Price for 30ml is RM29.90 and last but not least, Cosmoderm products are Halal as certified by JAKIM. Gunakan tanpa was-was ya! 

This is the perfect time to try Perfect Sunscreen because they are currently having this contest where you could win up to RM1,000 cash in their 'Pertandingan Rebut Duit Raya'. Just snap a before and after photo of yourself wearing the product and upload it on their Facebook page. There's no harm trying. Just imagine if you are the lucky winner - you would walk away with RM1,000 cash to spend for Hari Raya and that is equivalent to many pieces of new clothes, shoes or how ever you want to spend it. Why wait? Contest runs from 1st July until 5th August 2012.

By the way, here is Cosmoderm's model of the day (ihiks):

:: it's a girl thing ::

Can you guess what is inside the 'Rock n Roll' tin case?

Unless you have already seen it or got it from the same source as mine, does it crossed your mind that feminine towels or pads are inside?

I doubt it.

But look...

There are two pads inside because the tin case is actually a pad holder!

Many years ago, feminine towel was a taboo item in the local society. They were sold in boxes and wrapped in old newspapers during checkout because you wouldn't want to be seen carrying one in public. The norm has changed as years passed by. We could now see pad advertisements on television with top celebrities as brand ambassadors and thanks to chic, funky packaging, holding a pack of pads is not an embarassment anymore.

When I was staying in UK more than 10 years ago, I discovered something that was not available in Malaysia. That time our pads were packed in plain white individual packets whereas in UK, most of the brands have introduced colourful patterned individual packets. I found it cool and attractive, and wondered why haven't we got the same thing here in Malaysia? My question was finally answered last year when a new feminine towel brand, Libresse launched their product with colourful patterned individual packets. Hooray!

I have to admit that I was a loyal user to this one particular brand but after trying a set of Libresse free trial pack I got in Mid Valley during their roadshow last year, I have moved on. Not only they are slightly cheaper in price, Libresse offers similar protection as the other brand and with that colourful packaging, I have no other reason not to change. Another thing that keeps me buying the brand is also the freebies. (Their marketing strategies really influenced me, eh?)

They previously offered pad dispenser in their promo bag and this time it is the designer tin case, which can be used as a pad holder or a trinket box. There are 3 different designs (Rock n Roll, Power Suit and Streetstyle) and one free tin case is available in every promo bag of 2 x 12s Maxi Night Wings, 2 x 20s Maxi Non Wing or 2 x 16s Maxi Wing. I actually preferred the Power Suit design but it came with other pad types so I had no choice. Nevertheless, there will be more designs in December so I look forward to that. By the way, something else also came with the promo pack and that is:

Paperdoll~!

 If you were growing up in the early 90's like me, you would recognise that. I loved playing with paperdolls and owned a full basket collection of them back then... and now Libresse brings back my childhood memories.
Get a pack of yours today!

:: free mini lipice ::

I am a LipIce loyal user since univ days and a tube of LipIce Fruity lip balm is a must have item inside my handbag. It never fails to moisturise my lips and I personally believe it also protects them from darkening even though I've been wearing lipstick almost everyday for years. Their lip balm comes in 4 fruity flavours which are strawberry, grape, apple and lemon... and my favourites are strawberry and apple. Not only that, I also like wearing LipIce Sheer Colour which automatically turns my lips into natural pink without the need of wearing any lipstick. 

Last month LipIce Malaysia on their Facebook page launched an app called Society of Sistas which allow their fans to send cute photo message of themselves with their sisters or BFFs. Just upload a pic, decorate with available stickers and wallpapers, write a personalised message and send it to your sisters or BFFs. Best part of all is receiving a FREE mini LipIce in your mailbox like what I got 2 weeks ago:

 

Can you see the tiny mini LipIce Fruity?

How cute it is when compared to a 20 cents coin

Wanna have your own mini LipIce fruity? Fret not cuz LipIce Malaysia just announced last Monday that Society of Sistas is back!

Just like their page, join the app and wait for the mini LipIce to arrive in your mailbox. Thank you LipIce. Muahx!

:: having a bieber fever? ::

We all knew that the hottest teenage singing sensation, Justin Bieber is coming to town next month and those crazy-for-him girl fans have secured their tickets on day one when it was out for sale. Well, if you're one among Bieber's fans but didn't manage to get your hands on the tickets earlier maybe because of financial constraint or whatsoever reasons, here's another chance for you to do so by redeeming your Bonuslink points (if you don't own one, you could redeem your dad's, mom's, siblings', friends'...) I know my lil sis will ask me to redeem one if she could go but too bad the concert will be held on weekday. Sis, you're at school, far in Gemencheh on that day. So, kem salam jerlah yer :-P

With only 9,500 Bonuslink points you could redeem yourself one ticket worth RM188. It is considered cheap for Bonuslink points as they're currently having point knock down because previously it was 20,400 points per ticket. Tickets can only be redeemed online at http://www.bonuslink.com.my/ so go get it today before all Beliebers clear 'em all.

Speaking about Bieber, here's one of my favourite performance in Glee Season 2 besides Lucky. I'm not a youtube person, but I've been watching both clips over and over again because they were both awesome and shweeeet. Here's a cover version of "Baby" performed by Sam (Chord Overstreet) and I would say his version is better than the original. Erm, I'm honest about that..... it's not because Sam's a hottie >:-)

*footnote: Justin Bieber My World Tour - LIVE in Malaysia will be held on Thursday, 21 April 2011, 8:30 pm at Stadium Negara Kuala Lumpur. Better avoid that area during the said date and if you're accompanying or patronising someone, get ready for a night full of screaming girls.
