The Official Launch of Xixili's Green Bosom Bra Recyling Campaign!

Last few weeks I attended the Official launch of Xixili's Bosom Bra Recycling Campaign and revealing their brand ambassador Miss World Malaysia 2010 Nadia Heng at their flagship store in Pavilion.

Left to right : Dato' Tan Boon Pun (Chairman of Xixili Intima Sdn Bhd), Professor Datuk Jimmy Choo (the world famous shoes maker) and Puan Hasmah Wan Mohd (Deputy General, Department of Women Development)

Puan Wan Hasmah who officiated the ceremony said that the Green Bosom Bra Recycling campaign hopes to encourage young ladies to be sensible when purchasing quality products and become green warriors by donating used or unused bras to any Xixili Stores.

Ms Joanne Khoo Brand Founder and CEO of Xixili Intima came in the pretty green dress said that there are some women out there that may not be so fortunate and the price of a new bra may be out of reach and she hopes that with this Green Bosom Bra Recycling Campaign Xixili can able to instill the concept of bra recycling in the minds of women from all walks of life.

Nadia Heng the newly appointed ambassador for Xixili shared that Recycling is advocated within society for almost everything under the sun, but when it comes to recycling undergarments it is almost unheard of and hopes that through Xixili more people will be more aware of that recycling undergarments could actually helps those unfortunate women out there.

Present to lend support for this meaningful event were the local famous celebrities Amber Chia, Charmaine Poo, Cassandra Patrick and Liyana Fizi

Me and Datuk Jimmy Choo ... scream like mad fans!!!!

Datuk Jimmy Choo was there to to support for good cause too!!! And actually the night before this event I saw him from far in the Stylo - The Glass Slipper Gala Night , and didn't know I will see him in person in Xixili's event. He is very down to earth and friendly even though he is the man who designed the late Princess Diana's shoes!!


p/s: How I wish if he could design a pair of stilettos for me one day *dreaming mode*!!

The bunch of bloggers who attended the event !!

Look I was so shy to be standing in front , but Datuk Jimmy Choo and Ms Joanne pulled me in when I was trying to run away.. LOL!

Me & the sexy Rebecca *she is electrifying my readers here*

To give encouragement on this embarking this recycling mindset, every bra brought in for recycling, Xixili will give out a RM10 rebate for a new bra!!!!

Review : Clarins UV Plus Hp Day Screen High Protection

Clarins UV Plus Hp Day Screen High Protection SPH 40 UVA-UVB/PA+++ oil free was launched with an upgraded version from their previous formula

Clarins discovered that the complete protection should not only focus on the protection from the “outside”—external aggressors of UV ray and pollution, but also what’s critical the “inside”—internal defense toward anti-oxidant and DNA damage.

(From the press released)

This new formulated UV Plus is made with a high performance France plant ingredients- Cantaloupe melon from Provence, obtained from organic farming- that is rich in super-oxide dismutase (SOD), an enzyme that fights with oxidation.Recognized as a rare fruit to be grown only in the best part of the garden, the Cantaloupe melon contains high level of SOD in its flesh. This enzyme protects the fruit from the harmful effects of free radicals, ensuring that the melon stays fresher, longer.

.Cantaloupe melon extract is clinically proven to obviously reduce the DNA damage as well as the free radicals in the keratinocyte caused by UVA exposure. To ensure the optimal effectiveness, the Cantaloupe melon extract is encapsulated in microcapsules that open up when applied onto skin and promote constant effectiveness.

Comes in their usual bottle form

Texture : Watery
Color: White
Smell : Scented

Note : There are two type, one is the neutral color sunblock which I am reviewing here and another one is tinted skin tone color.

Review : Although the sunscreen comes in white color, there is no white residue left on my skin after I applied it. My face feel smooth and it felt as if nothing has been applied on my skin. My skin did not turn out to be greasy even though I went under the sun for few hours due to sweating and I believe this is because of their light-weight formula designed for this sunblock.
I like the fact it comes in high SPH and promises to give very high antioxidant and anti-pollution protection to our skin. Most importantly protect our skin against premature aging. And this is so far my the best sunblock I ever tried. The only down side of this product is of course the price i.e it is being sold for RM156 for 30ml (but i think this is a good buy because it's really good!)

Review : Clarins White Plus Hp Skincare range

Clarins whitening series skincare has been in the market for a few year and this year they are launching a few items this year to complete their latest whitening series collection i.e Clarins White Plus Hp with sea lily and daisy flower extract.

Sea lily has the unique ability to control the skin's melanin production and prevent it from reaching the skin's surface by controlling the delivery of melanin to your skin cells.



Daisy extract contains polyphenols to fight harmful free radicals as it soothes skin against the elements. And this daisy extract will continues to work at night repairing, de-stressing and relaxing the skin for overnight recovery.

I tried their Hydraquench's series (i.e the hydration range) before and totally in love with it. But now stop using it for a while as my hydration level is quite fine now and my concern is more about pigmentation and uneven skin tone hence I am looking forward to try their whitening series.

Am glad to share with you all here some of the Clarins's White Plus Hp products that I have been testing for the past 1 weeks to 2 weeks ( Note : some products are sample size so don't last me long enough to let me see the result)

Clarins White Plus HP Pearl-to-Cream Brightening Cleanser - RM115/125ml

A creamy texture and a lightweight foam which perfectly cleanses the skin, tightens pores and brightens the complexion while respecting the hydrolipidic film. Skin is fresh, soft and comfortable.

Texture : cream based cleanser in transparent pearl color
Smell : strong water lily flower smell ( I like it!)

Lather with water and it turn into milky.

Review : Feels clean and slight brightening effect but at the same time face feel very dry and tight.

Clarins White Plus Hp Whitening Soft Aqua Milk which is their toner/lotion - RM145/200ml

A smooth and comfortable milky lotion to relax and soften skin. It restores a smooth, luminous aspect and brightens the complexion. Perfect for dry-prone skin or in cold climates.

Texture : Pale yellow watery liquid
Smell : strong water lily flower smell

Review : Cant see any different in term of brightening as the lotion only lasted me few applications only. After I applied it using cotton pad, my face did felt a bit sticky but it does not bother me.

Clarins White Plus Hp Intensive Whitening Smoothing Serum -RM260/30ml

Helps to fights wrinkles, dark spots and a dull complexion thanks to Alchemilla, Raspberry, Vitamin C and oils of Palm and Coconut. It minimizes dark spots and helps prevent new ones from forming.

Texture : White lotion
Smell : Strong water lily flower smell

Review : Absorb into my skin immediately after application and my skin does feel smoother (and not feeling sticky at all) . Scars do look a bit brighter after few applications.

Clarins Shaping Facial Lift Lipo-drain serum - RM225/50ml

This smooth, refreshing serum instantly lightens the face to reveal more refined facial contours. It firms the features, to lift and rejuvenate. The face is refined and protected from dark spots while the complexion is brighter and radiant.

Texture: White milky lotion
Smell : Strong floral smell

Review : This Shaping Facial Lift has an unique way to apply this on our face i.e Clarins Manual Auto-Lifting Method for better result. After application my face does feel smoother and not sticky. However this 1 small tube which only allow me 1 time application I could not see if my face shape is more refined. But definitely I can say with the floral smell I feel more relaxing after following the Clarins Aut0-Lifting Method.

Clarins Whitening Repairing Night Cream RM240/50ml . This was launched on March 2011.

The first night cream to act against hyperpigmentation due to daytime UV rays and stress accumulated from morning to night. Also Soothes, regenerates and moisturizes the skin. It slows the production of melanin during the night. Skin is brighter and more radiant in the morning. Thanks to a draining action, the face appears smooth and rested.

Texture : White cream
Smell : Light water lily flower smell

Review : The cream absorb into my skin immediately after application. In fact it was a bit sticky after application however after a while the it is no longer sticky (maybe because my room is equiped with air-condition and we on it most of the time) and woke up the next morning feeling my face is supple and smooth. I tried applied on the second night and sleep with fans on, and when I woke up the face feel a little bit sticky, but I'm still comfortable with it. As the night cream tube given was a sample size, I can't see brightening effect with few application but definitely feel my face is hydrated even though this is a whitening range. So I don't think this is suitable for people with super oily skin.


Apart from the Night cream, Clarins also launched 2 news products under this range, Gentle Renewing Brightening Peel and Gentle Brightening Exfloliator , however I yet to try this two products at this moment.


Generally I think Clarins has strong floral smell and if you are one who are not fancy of strong fragrance smell then you might not like them. Personally I find this smell pleasing and relaxing. And the products is quite mild (always suitable for sensitive skin) and worth trying as it does not cause me any irritations during my trial period.


Look out for my next post, I will posting my review on their new improved Clarins UV Plus Hp Day Screen High Protection.

Thank you for participating and supporting Jessying :)

f.o.x Makeup School @ Counter Launch and Makeover voucher giveaway!!!

Everyone loves makeover , but usually this was done solely by the makeup artist (while we sit there and enjoy) and hardly we could pick up a skill or two makeup tips because it is difficult to learn by watching.

People always asked me how and where I learn my makeup, you know I learn the hard way by trying at home (where I put on and remove it all over again until I get the perfect look ) and of course makeup workshop does help me (only those very good hands-on one) .



So if you are one who loves makeup and yet do not know how to do it or need coaching, then F.O.X Cosmetics is the right place for you. Not only they are offering a wide range of cosmetics which I introduced in earlier of this year in this blog post where I had a pretty makeover , today they are offering different makeup lesson.

They launched their first ever "makeup school @ counter" at all their Parksons counter featuring 15-30 minutes of fun, personal makeup tutorials specially dedicated to individuals wanting to acquire specific makeup skills through customized lessons based on our needs and facial contours over the counter at anytime of the day at your convenient (by appointment)

When the F.O.X PR contacted me to join them for the launching of their Makeup School @ Counter Launch at 1Utama, I was asking myself what do I want to learn and never able to master it ?

The immediate answer is my eyebrow!!

I have tried and fail to shape my eyebrow. Everyone I know is telling me is easy but I just cant get it, it is so painful to pluck my eyebrow (always in tears) and shaving using the blade is so scary and afraid of cutting myself or over-shaved !!

F.O.X are offering 2 types of programs targeting at teaching day-to-day makeup needs with minimal charges

1) 15-minutes Express Class will enable individuals to learn making up specific parts of their face. These 15-minutes shorter lessons are aimed at providing for very specific needs of “getting it right” for individuals. Can choose what they want to master from a standard list of skills or to just simply tell our Professional Makeup Artists what they wish to learn.

2) 30-minutes Premium Class which aimed at catering to individuals that are interested in learning a wholesome facial make up, ranging from basic day-to-day making up for work (or play) to making up for important functions or events.

Express Class (RM15)

Me without any makeup

I told Alvin about what I want to learn and how I always fail to pick up the skills, he came up with a superb solution for me to master the skill of shaping my own eyebrow (or rather let it growing wildly or pay the the makeup artist to do it for me- but sometimes it's not the shape that flatters my eyes shape).

So I took Express class to learn Your Best Eyebrow look. Supposedly around 15 mins but I was like trembling and shaking and i think took more than 30 mins =.= pardon me for the 1st time to learn to shave my eyebrow using a blade.

Alvin the Chief Make-Up Artist who are my tutor of the day said that my problem is I could not able to imagine where is the boarder line where I should pluck or shaved my eyebrow , so he think of a way and told me I could use a white eyeliner pencil to draw up a shape on my eyebrow first before plucking / shaving so I will know where is the boarder line.



Must admit it is not easy but at least I learn how to hold the blade properly and how to draw my eyebrow shape before shaving it off.

After that I took Night Diva makeup lesson, where Alvin will do the right side of my face and I will need to my own left side of the face following his steps.

As my eyes shape are short, he drew my eyes longer using eyeshadow and eyeliner to make my eyes look bigger.

So this is my end result of my gorgeous makeup lesson with Alvin

I like how my eyebrow look right now, very precise and flatters my eyes shape very well :)

p/s: Should put on fake eyelashes but did not put on since I'm not attending any dinners that night .

What I used in my makeover class
Makeup Primer 3 in 1 Solution SPH 30 in MP03
Sheer Finish Loose Powder in PU03
Brow&Shadow Eyebrow Compact
Auto Eyeshadow Pencil AP11
Long Wear Gel Eyeliner in Black
Eyeshadow Make Up Box 11 MB02
Artist Cheek Color AB01
Classic Rouge in CR04
Perfect Lip Gloss in PL05

and
