Review: NEW Shiseido White Lucent Intensive Spot Targeting Serum +

Well I am happy to share with you all out here that Shiseido will be coming out with an improved formula for Shiseido White Lucent Intensive Spot Targeting Serum + . I am a big fan of them and has done a review of this old formula serum here when it was first introduced last year.

Just recently, Shiseido has just laaunched this Shiseido White Lucent Intensive Spot Targeting Serum + in Malaysia at Saujana Hotel, Subang.

The Shiseido White Lucent Intensive Spot Targeting Serum + promises to make the break from dark spots in just 10 days!

This Shiseido White Lucent Intensive Spot Targeting Serum + was inspired by laser technology that targets and removes persistent spots, Shiseido has found newest technology that first targets stubborn spots, and then crushes the roots of their pigmented appearance. Melanin pigment that has crushed to fine particles is then pushed up to the skin surface. By promoting the melanin's mobilization up and out, the appearance of stubborn spots dramatically improves.

This latest technology is call the Melano Sensor System+ is an exclusive technology for spot-less, even-toned and perfectly radiant skin that glows from within.

Here are the 4 steps how Melano Sensor System+ works

Step 1: Stop spots before they start
- m-Tranexamic Acid targets the excess condition of persistent spots.

Step 2: Target the root of spot formation
- 4MSK helps diminish the activity of enzyme tyrosinase.

Step 3: Reduce melanin production- Multi-Target Vitamin C reduces its volume.

Step 4 (NEW): Remove signs of melanin smoothly
- MelanoCrush Energizer targets trouble spots and crushes melanin. 4MSK regulates cell turnover. Darkened melanin is smoothly removed.

Here are the results of people who had tried for 6 months continuous and saw improvement on their skin. And it looked promising to me

Shiseido White Lucent Intensive Spot Targeting Serum + has the same design bottle like the old serum.

Texture : Watery

Scent : Floral

My review : I have been using Shiseido White Lucent Intensive Spot Targeting Serum + for few weeks and I found that the new improved serum absorb better than the old serum. Because of the watery texture I only need to use 1 pump for my whole face. It really like this serum because it gives better hydration and keep my skin supple until the next morning when I woke up even though I am sleeping in air-condition room. However I have not see major changes for my stubborn dark spots yet as I just started trying this serum a while ago and I do not except magic to happen but I hope to see it is lighter soon!

Ah so far I am loving it ! Will keep you guys updated after I finish this bottle !

At this moment, Shiseido White Lucent Intensive Spot Targeting Serum + is not available in the market yet and I am one of the bloggers who will be reviewing this first hand (more update of this review soon). I was told Shiseido White Lucent Intensive Spot Targeting Serum + would be available in next year Spring, i.e March 2012 onwards in worldwide, so do check out this ya!

And by 16 January 2012, Shiseido Japan will launched a special website dedicated to Shiseido White Lucent Intensive Spot Targeting Serum + at http://www.my.shiseido.com/s2012/whitelucent/) where there will be reviews & information regarding to this serum. So do check out this website by that time.

Food Review : Chicago Rib House in 1 Utama

Just few days before Christmas, I was invited by the friendly people at Chicago Rib House to do a food review. And after I check out the website link in the invitation email sent to me, I can't wait to try this because it is all about porkyyyy = my favourite food in the whole wide world!!

Note : This is a non-halal post

To be honest, I did not know the existence of Chicago Rib House until I went there for the review because they just opened their 2nd branch here in 1 Utama late November (shows how long I havent been to 1 Utama) . I was told the first branch is at Penang.

As you can see from the picture and if you guess well , the restaurant is located just next to La Senza Pin-Up Store at 1st floor of 1 Utama (Rainforest section)

As I walked in the restaurant, I can see a lot of cute piggy pics on the walls! Confirm lah... a lot of porky will be served tonight!

It's a cosy yet spacious seating at this restaurant.

I like the wording at the wall - Grilld to PORK-fection!

There is a Mojito Bar at the corner of the restaurant.

Here is some drinks we ordered - fresh from the Mojito Bars!

One of it is Lychee Mojito and another one I could not remembered what is it now.



I am a milkshake person and I think I'm the only person who thinks Strawberry Milkshake is better than Mojito :P The milkshake here was not too sweet so I really like it and finish this sinful drink that night!

Before I started having my porky review, I was asked to put on the plastic napkins #likeababy

I like this napkins because I could now rib of the pork like nobody business ! As far I remembered, no restaurant in Msia I been to so far gave napkins like this & the first time I had plastic napkins like this when I was in Korea having bbq dinner.

As starter, Trio Sampler (RM32.90) was served.

Three's a company when you've got Hot Buffalo Wings, Potato Skins and Pork Chili Con Carne. It's matched with homemade Salsa dressing to really get you started.

The chicken wings is a bit salty to my liking but the spicyness makes it appetizing!


Corn chips & Pork Chili Con Carne . Onion, pepper & cheese and corn chips are the perfect match!

This potato skin covered with cheese, then topped in chives, bacon bits and served in ranch serving combination is so yummylicious. Crunchy & cheesy...

Next we are served Pork Ribs (Full Rack, Original Flavor) with 2 side dishes RM53.90

Description: Chicago's Pork Ribs are slow roasted in hickory wood to give it that tender and unique flavor that has made us world famous. Our succelent and meaty pork ribs are served with your choice of two sides of your choice.

If you like BBQ sauce then I think you will like this. But for me it is a bit sweet for my liking.

Next, we are served Pork Ribs (Full Rack, Flaming Kansas City) RM59.90 with 2 side dishes

As the named suggested, the pork ribs is was fired up with a shot of whiskey to literally let us have the ommph feel!

Below are some interesting pictures I took while the pork ribs on fire!

Pour a shot of whisky all over the pork ribs!

Staff light up the fire and the whole ribs was on FIRE!!!

It was smoking hot when it was served on us. The taste of the ribs is pretty strong with the marinated sauce and whisky. And if you are not a fan of whisky, you might prefer the original flavour.

Grilled Bourbon Chicken - RM27.90

Next we are served two grilled boneless chicken breast topped with their signature bourbon sauce and sprinkled with mixed cheese. The cheese is sinful but it is good!

The side dishes of this Grilled Bourbon Chicken can be choosen, and here the highlight of the side dish is the "western style chicken rice" as some of them claimed.

8oz. Pork Tenderloin - RM32.90

Two grilled pork tenderloin grilled till pork-fection and served with homemade Apple Cinnamon sauce.

Homemade Apple Cinnamon sauce is very refreshing taste and appetizing for my appetite. I like the way how they prepared this as I could actually taste the sweetness of the pork here :)

And I bet kids sure would love this too!

Hickory BBQ Bacon Burger - RM29.90

Description : A juicy pork burger loaded with Hickory BBQ sauce, topped with crispy bacon and cheese.

Well I must say the bacon here are so good that I can't get enough of it. It is not too fat and grilled to perfection!

A must try for all!

Besides pork , they actually served Shrimp Olio (RM32.90) for seafood lovers.

It is Fettuccine tossed with generous servings of shrimp in scampi butter. The taste of the olio is a bit tingly due to their sauce however I do appreciate the fact that they are very generous with the shrimps and the portion is big.

Finally after all the porky business, we have dessert!!!

Brownie Royale (RM12.90) was really delicious, it just feel right for me!

Caught Ah Bok aka Taufulou busy taking pictures of the food ! Haha looked at his expression, priceless!

While me, well I enjoy eating the ribs with my hands feel more delicious everytime i am ripping of the ribs!


Just before I end my review, I must show you one very interesting picture that is displayed in the restaurant. The different parts a pig that we could actually eat - but there are many parts that I don't eat.


Chicago Rib House is currently running a Christmas & New Year promotion and this would be the best time for you to try out as for RM55.90 you can choose youra main course, dessert and a mocktail!

Super awesome Shiseido Makeup Stimulator - trying makeup without needing to put them on!

A while ago, I visited Shiseido roadshow in KLCC as I was told by the PR that there will be a makeup Simulator machine that is flown all the way from Japan to be here in Malaysia for just a few days. And I gotta blog about this because this is something really awesome that I tried !!

Keep reading to find out.....

Well first of all, there is quite a queue to try this makeup stimulator machine , so lucky for me PR has made an appointment for me to try out this machine. I was extremly curious what is this machine is all about.



I was asked to sit on the chair facing this monitor which is so called Makeup stimulator. I was strictly told that I shall not move my head around in order for it to work properly.



Basically Makeup Simulator machine will automatically detect and identify my facial features and capture using it's camera.

Once the image is captured on the screen, the I can then select what colour or texture I want from the variety of shades ....from foundation, eyeshadow, blusher, lipstick to lipgloss. All is up to my liking, so I mix and match...and I really wanted to see if smokey eyes can carry red lipstick on my face...

After I picked my colours the makeup stimulator machine will then lay the chosen colour accordingly on the my facial features.

I literally WOW a moment when I saw my face on the monitor has colours of the eyeshadow, blusher and lipstick I chose. Everything looked so real on the monitor, it is unbeliveable!

This machine is so damn because I could actually try ANY colors and textures (all shades) to find my perfect match without having to waste time applying on actual skin to try one by one! I can always click the "BACK" key to try another colours!

Well, this is my final look!

As you can see I'm quite crazy about red lipstick nowadays but finding the right red colour to match my skintone and eye makeup are not easy, so this makeup stimulator machine is really helpful!

How I wish all beauty brands will have this machine like this ! I think Shiseido should place this machine at their counter permanently and these testers at counters would not be needed anymore!

Review : Laneige Lip Styling Duo in Coral Beige from Laneige Holiday Styling Romantic 2011 collection!

Laneige Styling Lip Duo (#LR04) in Coral Beige is one of my favourite product from Laneige Holiday Styling Romantic 2011 collection! Not only the packaging looks pretty but the colours looked really pretty on me.

This Styling Lip Duo has a twist-up lipstick at one end and a gloss on the other end.

Swatch of Laneige Styling Lip Duo in Coral Beige

From Right to Left - lipstick , lipgloss and lipstick+lipgloss

I was happy to be given this colour to do review instead of the

The Lipstick texture is smooth, pigmented and easy to apply. It has this nice peachy smell!

This Lipstick can be used alone without the gloss and still looked great for day look. The colours are beautiful and best of all not drying on my lips!

The Lipgloss suprisingly is not sticky and light! This also have the super yummy peachy scent that you feel like eating them.

For night looked, usually I will touch up my makeup (put darker colour to create smokey look) and would add on the lipgloss to complete me look.

Me *hearts* Laneige Lip Styling Duo in Coral Beige and in fact I have been carrying this in my handbag since I got this !

I must say this Laneige Lip Styling Duo in Coral Beige is a must get item for this Christmas, whether for yourself or for a friend because colour is beautiful and so simply to use. Laneige Lip Styling Duo is priced at RM65 is one of the must collected limited edtion item for this Christmas!
