Exposing Victoria's Secret in Queensbay Mall

Truth is fans of the renowned sexy American brand are finally getting a piece of Victoria’s Secret as the femme fatale brand extends its doors to Penang.

Victoria's Secret at Queensbay Mall

Surprise, surprise! *waving frantically* I’m a worthy keeper of Victoria’s Secret, can’t you tell?!

Pink. Enigmatic. Seductive.

That should have given me away in a sniff!

*tsk tsk tsk* Come on, get to know me or else, you will not be able to surprise me with the perfect than perfection gift! *big-time hint*

To cut the lace, I mean chase! Victoria’s Secret undressed its latest outlet in Queensbay Mall last month, flashing a notable collection of its bestselling products.

Step into the glamorous world of Victoria's Secret

The iconic VS Night fragrance, the newest VS Angel Dream scent collection, flirty lingerie, glamorous accessories such as luggage, bags, wallets, passport covers, cosmetic cases, phone cases, sunglasses – these are just a few of my favourite things!

Are you a keeper of Victoria's Secret?

It’s the perfect getaway during mid-day or mid-week (or mid-life) crisis. Don’t believe me? Just walk into the Victoria’s Secret store in Queensbay Mall, the scent itself will make you feel sophisticated, sexy and forever young. Ah, no wonder I don’t age a bit! *pause to check for fine lines*

So, as I was saying, Victoria’s Secret is a definite go-to place to get personal. I mean... to get personal care products for yourself or your girl friends (or me) from fragrances to skin-loving body care, or naughty lingerie to super stylish accessories.

Don't miss your chance to grab a FREE Victoria's Secret tote when you purchase RM249 & above. I'm warning you, it's while stocks last only.

Guys, if you're gift-hunting, don't shy away. Trust me, a girl will love your guts walking into the lioness den just to grab her favourite Victoria's Secret. *wink*

Oh, time’s up!

It’s time to admire my Victoria’s Secret haul. Did I already mention it’s personal? So I’m gonna sign off now, and leave your imagination running wild.

Pretty fix for bad hair days

You'd probably already read how much I treasure my hair to the point that my mane shine bright like a diamond. I give my hair pretty extreme nurturing because I love keeping it long and healthy.

My point is this: With all the festivities from Christmas to the partying into the brand new year 2014 and not to mention, all the late nights and hangovers... I need to get myself together again.

But for now, I've resorted to these pretty headbands as my go-to fix for all the bad hair days I'm having.

What about you? Any quick fixes for a bad hair day to share?

I don’t want common scents!

Scents can be a very personal thing. What makes me feel like a goddess may make you feel like a pauper. But universally, scents are similar to music - they capture moods that create lasting impressions. And I absolutely love aromas that leave a trail of me, even after I’m long gone (not six feet underground, okay!) from your sight.

That is why... I can’t help but fall senselessly in love with Crabtree & Evelyn’s Limited Edition Heritage Collection. The scents exalt the classic aromas of the Mediterranean coastline and Europe’s ancient cities that transport the senses to distant shores.

Flower Water (for the ladies) include scents of Florentia Freesia, Venetian Violet and Old World Jasmine.

Eau de Colognes (for the gentlemen) comprise of Sevillian Neroli, Old Windsor, Hungary Water and Neapolitan Bergamot.

Limited Edition Heritage Collection,

Flower Water and Eau de Colognes

from Crabtree & Evelyn

Come, explore and experience the Flower Water and Eau de Colognes at Crabtree & Evelyn. From 15 October - 5 November 2013, or while stocks last, VIP members can grab the Heritage Fragrances at RM168 for one or RM268 for two.

And with purchase of RM300 & above (in a single receipt), receive a 50ml Shower Gel, 50ml Body Lotion and a Limited Edition Heritage Travel Book, absolutely FREE.

I have a particularly scent-timental interest for Old World Jasmine Flower Water, not simply because of its pretty exotic fragrance but because... it reminds me of my dear mother. Perhaps, I inherited her love for jasmine *wink*

Shine bright like a diamond

Oh yes, Rihanna sang it. But I know it.

I know how it feels to wear diamond on my crown. And I know how my hair sparkles with pretty intense shine.

Redken Diamond Oil Shatterproof Shine

from Extreme Hair Specialist, Queensbay Mall

I was surprised that only 2 drops of Diamond Oil Shatterproof Shine was enough for my mid-length hair. Of course, it is only applied from the middle to the ends of my hair, avoiding the roots.

Diamond Oil Shatterproof Shine hair oil further amazes me with it multi-functional usage. It can be applied pre-shampoo, pre-blow dry, overnight as treated, with conditioner or mask, and it can also be applied to dry scalp and skin!

Now imagine all the benefits from camelina oil, coriander oil, apricot oil, olive oil, jojoba oil and coconut oil. It is more than your ordinary leave-in hair oil that boosts high shine, strengthens hair from inside out and moisturises dry skin.

If you're ready to shine like a diamond, head over to Extreme Hair Specialist in Queensbay Mall to enjoy discounts from 5%-30% on selected products in conjunction of their pre-relocation promotion.

Let's shine from head to toe ;)

Pretty little nails

It's true that you'll never over-dressed or under-dressed with a Little Black Dress (LBD), and it never goes out of fashion. But what about nails...?

While I still love pastels and pops of colours, I'm changing it up and exploring my dark side. I happen to stumble upon these super chic black mani on Pinterest and they're pretty gorgeous!

Bling it up with a hint of gold.

Stand out in the dark.

Bumble bee me?

A matte polka dots affair

Classy, yet sexy lace

I'm heading out on a shopping spree for some nail polish this weekend... If you want to get creative with some DIYs, check out Inglot (GF 100 & 145), Sa Sa (1F 105), The Face Shop (1F 62) or Elianto (1F 130). 

And if you want to skip the hassle, make an appointment with the professionals - Blaze Nail Beauty (2F 31), Nail Profile (2F 83), Nail World (2F 37) or Summer Nail & Spa Beauty (2F 20).

Got a dazzling black mani secret? Do share with me!

Revitalise me today

Can you believe this? I haven’t had my pampering session for 2 weeks. 

Don’t go rolling your eyes on me. Fourteen full days is a very long lapse! I can’t go on the week without some tender, loving, care to make me look good and feel rejuvenated.

I think it has been 5 or 6 years seeing the same-old AsterSpring and it is truly refreshing to spot the all new AsterSpring at Queensbay Mall, with new concept and new appearance.

AsterSpring’s commitment to skin health with over 29 years of industry experience gives me the assurance that my face (my most treasured asset!) will be in good hands.

And the new centre at Queensbay Mall features 5 rooms, including 1 couple room, 1 body room and 7 single couches, offering comprehensive “His Zone” and “Her Zone” treatment menus that include:

• Fundamental Treatments (active cleansing, skin refreshing, skin soothing, skin clarifying)
• Enhancing Treatments (detoxifying, brightening, anti-aging, hydrating)
• Intensive Therapies (whitening, anti-aging, rejuvenating treatments)
• Specific Essential (specially for eyes)
• Body & Other Treatments

My favourite part about my appointment at AsterSpring is the before and after treatment massages that help me unwind. I’d also brag about the professional skin therapy line Dermalogica but I’m sure you’ve heard a lot about it and read many positive testimonies. Isn’t it obvious enough? *wink*

Now, don’t say I didn’t spill! Get your FREE Multi-Active Toner 250ml with purchase of Essential Cleansing Solution 500ml and Skin Smoothing Cream 100ml (T&C apply, valid till 30 June 2013 or while stocks last).

Give yourself a mid-week pampering treat and head on down to AsterSpring at Queensbay Mall today.

Instant energy-booster for the skin

I can't deny my skin looks tired and dull on the mornings after late nights. While I can powder it up, I had always wanted a longer lasting solution. Something like how coffee perks me up instantly.

I somewhat experienced the Einstein's Eureka moment! when I was introduced to GinZing™ Energy-boosting moisturizer at Origin's private event in Queensbay Mall this afternoon.

GinZing™ Energy-boosting moisturizer, RM100
Origins, GF 87

This lightweight oil-free facial moisturizer helps awaken the senses, nourish the skin and improve skin's hydration. The key ingredients, Panax Ginseng and Caffeine (from coffee beans), optimize cellular energy to help keep skin conditioned while Olive, Wheat and Barley build a dewy barrier by replenishing moisture reserves.

As you gently massage the moisturizer onto your face the uplifting aroma of Grapefruit Oil, Spearmint Oil and Lemon Oil instantly reveal a radiant, energized and wide-awaken skin.

I was euphoric to hear all the goodness of this potion! Besides, a 50ml jar costs RM100 only. How could I resist?

To prove the claims of what it can do for my skin, I'm going stay up all night to watch (all over again) the complete first season of Sex and The City, and test out GinZing™ Energy-boosting moisturizer tomorrow morning.

Are you up for it?

Beauty haul: Pretty nude

If you are like me, a fan of Fashion Week, you would have noticed that nude is making a major comeback, reinventing itself more luminous than ever.

While I love over the top make up for parties, I also love to tone it down for Spring and Summer as I soak in the warmth of the sun. It's all about silky complexion, luscious lips and va-va-voom lashes.

In a way, I love to strip bare once in a while to exude a natural doll-like complexion... like Barbie *wink* So armed with a vivid shopping list, I went nude-hunting in Queensbay Mall...

The pretty pink SaSa Anniversary Sale Weekly Special caught my eyes and I couldn't help but bag home some new colours to enhance my pretty little face for summer.

Nonetheless, my favourite haul for the week is The Balm Nude'Tude eye shadow palette - the shimmer and matte combination is pretty fresh for the day and pretty sexy-smokey for a night out. Can't wait to smother them on this weekend!

Do you have the guts to go nude and unveil your true colours?
