Halloween has finally arrived!!! I decided to go for something not so scary, but rather fun. I am never the type of girl to wear my make-up so pale, with nothing but foundation on my face!!! Yes!! In some pics I did try black lipstick, and a burgundy too. I was channeling Morticia Addams, and I think I did a pretty good job at it!

What do you think? And more importantly, what are you doing or rather wearing this Halloween?

KIEHL's Daily Skincare Routine

Heard of Kiehl's? I'm sure you have! Well 2012 saw the launch of Kiehl's first store in South Africa - Sandton to be exact. I was super exited for the possibilities of a brand like Kiehl's being made available here.

Kiehl's sent me a huge hamper of goodies from their range, & I decided that I would try Kiehl's for 1 month & do an honest review based on what I experienced. I  figured I would start with the Ultra Facial Oil-Free 3 Step Cleanser, Toner & Moisturiser. This test trial started 2 days before I left for China, and I used it for the entire time I was there, and so for the past month & a half  have only used Kiehl's in my skincare routine. This is the only way I could give a proper product review.

And what do I think? Well watch my video review below to find out more!

I use these 3 products daily - religiously!

This UV Defense moisturiser is great! It's SPF 50+ !!!

Here are some pictures of the Sandton store...

And if you can't get to the Sandton store - fear not!!! Everyone in South Africa can get access to Kiehl's through their partnership with Edcon. All you have to do is call the Edgar's Fashion Hotline on 0860 692 274 to request the specific products they are looking for and choose to either have it delivered to their closest Edgars store (free of charge), or delivered to their homes anywhere in SA, at a charge of R50, within 5-7 days. The service is only available to customers in SA. So simple!!!

Talent Needs Character

John Wooden once said, �Ability may get you to the top, but it takes character to keep you there.�
I couldn't agree more with him.

What Every Modern Woman Needs

As promised, I am going to share several of Panasonic's latest range of beauty and grooming products. Frankly speaking, these devices are so impressive yet you might want to have them all. I just love the whole idea that they didn't just come up with stylish design and convenience to supplement Asian modern women lifestyles, they have also incorporated the unique and advanced Nanoe� technology, the nano-sized ion particles that contain 1000 times more water than negatives ions. It is also supplemented with long-lasting moisture capability, which retains moisture longer to increase the effectiveness of the product. 

I'm also pretty amazed knowing the main benefits of Nanoe� technology for our hair and skin. They are just exactly what modern women needs. Firstly, nano-sized moisture ions creates a long-lasting moisture infusion function, resulting well moisturized, elastic and glossy hair. Second, it also helps our scalp keep healthy and moisturized, even more it also reduces oiliness on the scalp. Lastly, it also prevents moisture from evaporating and helps lift dirt and oil off. Your skin texture is improved than before, as well as firm and supple. 

Long story shorts, here are the selection key products that will be rolled out in South-East Asia this October,

Compact Multi Straightener and Nanocare Hairdryer

Whether you want your hair look perfectly straightened or curled, this Panasonic's Compact Multi-Straightener could be your new best friend. It heats so quickly in 40 seconds and also comes with compact size. So easy to carry around, which is very good for traveling and a little touch-up while away from home.

Panasonic's Nanocare Hairdryer not only can gives your hair a smooth blowout. With  advanced Nanoe� technology involved, it helps smoothen out hair cuticles and balance the pH of your hair, giving you healthy and silky hair all the time. While drying your hair, the set mode also allows temperature to be set at 50 degrees Calcius, so it also protects your hair from excessive heat damage.

Face Hair Ionizer

This Panasonic's Face-Hair Ionizer is specially designed to keep your skin and hair moisturized simultaneously. It can be used anytime and anywhere, consistently use it while you're working in the office or while you're sleepping in your bedroom. Just simply to let its Nanoe� particles penetrate the deepest layer of skin which then help refine your skin texture and firm up hair surface, leading to soft and elastic hair. Definitely all you need to attain smoother skin and shinier hair.

Nanocare Facial Ionic Steamer

When it comes to an ideal companion for a pampering home spa experience, this Panasonic's Nanocare Facial Ionic Steamer is just exactly what you need. Comes with the ultra-fine nano-ionic steam that permeates the skin's surface easily to moisturize from within and also helps to lift dirt and oil off the skin, providing a deep cleansing treatment for your face. Frequent use of this product will increases the firmness and suppleness of your skin.

Pocket Doltz Toothbrush

Last but not least, it is once said that a smile is one of your best beauty accessories. Well, according to that, I believe Panasonic must have had us in mind when they created this compact  Pocket Doltz Toothbrush. The sonic vibration toothbrush operates at 16.000 brush strokes per minute, providing the teeth with gentle and effective cleansing. The dual edged brush is also structured to fit perfectly in your mouth. Slip it to your handbag and go add a dazzle to your smile.

Sunday Morning

There's nothing like hot fashion photography to brighten your Sunday Morning. I absolutely love this shoot by photographer brothers Jason & Jonah Gilmore. There is something so sensual, and even a little enticing about this editorial. Thigh-highs. Sunday church hat. Pearls. Lace. And its almost as if the photographers are a boyfriend or husband watching her get ready you know.  I like that feeling. Its sweet, but sexy too. This editorial evokes a multitude of emotions in me. What d you think?

Feel Beautiful & Empowered

Earlier in September, I got invited by Panasonic to attend their first-ever Beauty Regional Press Conference held in St. Regis Bangkok. According to its tagline, "Beauty of Empowerment", Panasonic unveiled the latest range of beauty and grooming products that meticulously designed and developed to fulfill modern Asian women's needs to stay beautiful and confident, while keeping up with their busy lifestyle. Along with the product launch, four regional icons also have been appointed as brand ambassadors to represent the product in each local market, and including one of them is Indonesian young actress, Atiqah Hasiholan.
These must-have new range of beauty gadgets will be available this October in five South-East Asian countries - Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore. I will be sharing several of them over the next blog post. So stay tuned!
