Yuberactive + Beauty Party with Rimmel London & Sally Hansen

Okay, this was actually a weeks ago.. =/ Felt so strange going to Taylor's for an event, not a class. Also, it's my first time at Ecoba despite already being in my 2nd sem =_="



The wet weather didn't dampen our spirits as more and more guests poured in.



One of the reasons we gathered was for the launching of the new Yuberactive 2.0. You might have seen me mention them several times in the past.


"YUBERACTIVE is a community that is excited to make a difference by bringing together inspiring stories from influencers around Asia to invoke positive action!"

We had Patrick as our host and then Jia Yee & Joanne shared their inspirational stories. 


Jia Yee shared her story about "Our Little Book Keepers" where they collected and brought back 800 books to a kampung (village) for the children. Hopefully, they will be able to provide more through this portal.



Moving on, the organizers told us that there was a contest where winners will receive Rimmel London & Sally Hansen goodie bags! We were provided with a piece of paper and marks to draw a poster, make up by Rimmel London and nail polishes from Sally Hansen.



I actually went there bare faced and had a fun time digging into the big box of makeup. Everything on my face is from Rimmel, including the tree lol



My group did not win but here are the winners!



Then it was revealed that it was Iris' birthday so they brought out a 'cake' (stack of Subway cookies lolol) for her.



With Rane & Jennifer, my groupmates.



Jean, my classmate from KDU who is one of the brand knights.



Extra camwhoring when I got home lol xP



I also received a couple of goodies there so reviews will be coming up!

Shiseido Aqualabel Special Gel Cream

I am only in my early 20s and my skin is looking older than it should be. It's so dry too, accelerating the aging process of my skin. When I was offered to try the Shiseido Aqualabel Special Gel Cream, I jumped at the opportunity! It is packed full with Collagen GL, source of plump & firm skin.

Honestly I got a shock at how simple this red jar is. Just "Special Gel Cream", no exaggerated words or desperate tries at trying to convince buyers. Guess they are confident in their product.


Each new jar comes with the silver sticker and the white cover which prevents product from spilling out. Before using, open the cap and remove the cover. If you travel occasionally, you might want to keep the cover. Screw the cap back on and make sure it doesn't fall! I can foresee that it'll be pretty messy.


The Special Gel Cream has a thick jelly like consistency. In the jar, it appears to be pretty watery but it won't drip even when I hold it upside down! It's as though it attaches itself to the surface and refuses to let go.


It smells so good too.. *sniff*


You don't need much for your face. This amount here is already too much for my whole face. As I spread it, you can see that it looks quite different from other products. Reminds me of the consistency of jam.. It fully absorbs very quickly without leaving any shine or greasy feel. Love! Feels as though the moisturizer penetrated deep into the layers of my skin instead of just sitting on top.


Lotion+Emulsion+Essence+Cream+Mask

I use this twice a day, morning and night. As it boasts to be a 5-in-1 product, it is the only product I use. Surprisingly, it was sufficient for my skin!


Here are some photos to make you go wow!


A : Before using, my skin is so dry and scaly. Look at all those lines.. =(
B : First application. Skin immediately looks better! Lines are still there but not so horrid.
C : Now, you can see that my skin is looking so much better. Collagen is an efficient water binder so it keeps my skin hydrated resulting in smoother skin. It also supports the epidermis and helps rebuild cell structure.

Can't really see? Here's a super closeup. I swear no Photoshop involved apart from cropping and lighting!


Applied a thick layer as overnight mask and I woke up to slightly brighter skin. I wouldn't say it can replace a sleeping mask though.

Based on the results (photos as proof!), the Shiseido Aqualabel Special Gel Cream seems to have great potential to help my skin and I will definitely continue to use it.

Samsung Galaxy Note 2

My phone is very important to me. It is my (very) mini computer, my notebook, my camera and a lot more but it's capabilities are limited in various ways.

Then came along the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 to blow me away. You can jot things mid call. Pull out the S Pen and the S Note pops out. I can't remember a string of 10 numbers after saying 'Okok. Thank you. Bye!' so this is great.


I've never been satisfied with the square crop tool but with the Note 2 & S Pen, I can easily cut out the background on camwhore/OOTD photos to post instantly without uploading to my computer.


Can say byebye to your big bulky organizer with this!


Include notes on the back of photos, making them even more realistic. The phone also has this best face feature where it takes several shots then allows you to change individual faces to select the best. That guy who constantly ruins the good shot with his face? Not happening anymore.


If you're wondering if it's too big, here's a shot in my hand.


You can edit your photos accurately using the S Pen! Beats my stubby finger anytime..



There's also multitasking where you can view several different apps together on the same screen. So you can watch a video while browsing online and writing down information.

5.5 inches enough for you? Bigger screen, slim body and clear screen. The Note 2 will be available in Marble White & Titanium Gray on 19th October 2012, retailing for RM 2,299.


* Phone does not come with model.

Cyber Colors Gemstone Blush Wear (01 Orange Coral)

Reviewing my sister's new blusher from Cyber Colors. FYI, you can get Cyber Colors at SaSa.


It comes in a sleek black compact. The design is simple but pretty.



Product says : A blush that leads to high class lustrous skin by sculpting your facial structure with valuable Gemstone Powder. Soft and airy long-wear texture ensures easy application and drapes the face in radiance. Sounds exaggerated but when my sister came home wearing this, I actually thought her face was absolutely glowing!


Before you even put it on, you have to figure out how to open the compact. It's quite tricky, I tell you!


The protective sheet is always stuck on the mirror when I open it! Kinda annoying. Also OCD me finds it strange that the wavy lines on the sheet don't match the blusher lines =x


Check out the lovely colours! Powder is slightly loose so don't be too hard on it.


The blusher is very smooth and pigmented. A & B are matte while C & D are shimmery. You may use them separately or combine them according to your preference. C & D may also be used to highlight your face.


The provided brush is soft and dense. It's the perfect size to pick up all 4 colours with one sweep.


It's also the perfect size for the cheek! Make sure the darker colour is below while the highlighter shade is above.


The colour Orange Coral compliments Asian skintone very well! My sister loves the fact that she can shade her face with this blusher.


Size : 3.9 g / 0.138 oz

Silkygirl LE Eye Love Handbag (Floral Tote)

The people at Silkygirl were kind enough to include a few goodies together with the Big Eye Mascara. When I saw this, I thought it was some kind of decoration because it's so cute. A tiny handbag! It's the Limited Edition Eye Love Handbag in Floral Tote.




Product says


To open, simply separate the handles. I was being an idiot and tried to open it like a normal handbag =_="


Inside you will find a mirror, 3 eyeshadows and an applicator.


The pink, purple and white are meant to compliment each other so you may use them individually or together.


All 3 shades are pretty shimmery with purple being the least and white being the most. The upper half was applied above primer but it only helps a little. All 3 went on buttery smooth without any grittiness.


However, with shimmery eyeshadow I would recommend using primer underneath to ensure it lasts longer and to reduce creasing & fallout.


With eyeshadow and eyeliner on. Notice how the shimmer brings out my eyes? The colour is quite sheer. I applied pink on middle of lid, white on inner corner and purple to darken the outer lid. I wouldn't use the white to highlight below the brows though as it's too shimmery.


Before anyone asks, my skin is Photoshopped lol
