Happy Hour 50% off for Frappuccino® blended beverages @ Starbucks!

I love Starbucks and I can visit to Starbucks for up to 4 times a week with this

My lovely Starbucks tumbler. :)

My favorite Starbucks beverages are:
1.) Caffè Mocha
2.) Low Fat Green Tea Latte
3.) Cocoa Cappuccino

Another reason I like about Starbucks is their promotions and their community event such as Earth Hour.

Today, 26 April 2011, another promotion from Starbucks Malaysia.

"Enjoy a half price Frappuccino® blended beverages during our Happy Hour from 5pm - 7pm today! 
Happy Hour runs from 26th - 29th April & 2nd - 6th May 2011 "
Hmmm....I will try the new "However-You-Want-It" Frappuccino® Blended Beverage soon!

How to join the XIXILI's GREEN BOSOM, Bra Recycling Buddies Campaign?

The XIXILI's GREEN BOSOM, Bra Recycling Buddies Campaign!

Green Bosom
Bra Recycling Buddies' Pledge:

I hereby promote others to buy only when necessary and buy only quality produce.
I am fighting for Mother Earth.

With mindfulness, I shall uphold my community to

REUSE
REDUCE
RECYCLE

Use quality and sensibly.

The XIXILI's GREEN BOSOM, Bra Recycling Buddies Campaign is running from 8th April to 31st May 2011. This campaign hopes to encourage young ladies to bring in used or unwanted bra for recycling instead of disposing it a way when purchasing quality products at any XIXILI store. 

Why do we need to recycle our used or unwanted bras?
For charity: 
All bras collected will be channeled to the unfortunate and disadvantaged community or to disaster relief centers locally or at the national level.
For Our Mother Earth: 
Preservation and prevention are the best efforts to Protect Mother Earth from eroding faster than it should. Organised efforts like this bra recycling are very helpful whereby we give chance for a bra to have 2 product life cycles, thus stretching use and unnecessary early abandonment or disposal.

To give encouragement for this recycling campaign, every bra brought in for recycling, XIXILI will give out a RM10 rebate for a new bra. In addition XIXILI will be giving away a complimentary Protect Mother Earth bad and biodegradable cutlery by JASA Eco with every purchase above RM100.

Below are the easy steps for participating in the XIXILI's GREEN BOSOM, Bra Recycling Buddies Campaign:
 Bring your used or unwanted bras
 Head to the following XIXILI Boutiques:
  • Pavilion KL  
  • Mid Valley City 
  • One Utama 
  • Bangsar Village II
  • Sunway Pyramid
  • Queensbay Mall Penang

Product Review: Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Mousse SPF50+/PA+++

I am a sunblock person, I love sunblock simply because I am afraid of skin aging such as wrinkles, freckles, dark spots, pigmentation and skin cancer caused by the harmful UV rays. I am using different types of sun protection products for face, lips and body. 
Recently, KAO Malaysia has launched two new two new sun protection products Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Mousse SPF50+/PA+++ and Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Jelly SPF30/PA+++.
The latest Biore UV Aqua Rich sun protection products are formulated with the latest Japanese innovation. The latest Biore UV Aqua Rich sun protection products offer optimum protection from harmful sun rays, restoring and retaining the skin’s moisture (it enriched with Hyaluronic Acid and Mix Citrus Essence) with a cool ‘water-like’ sensation!  


I have been using the Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Mousse SPF50+/PA+++ and Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Jelly SPF30/PA+++ for about a month.
 The packaging of the Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Mousse SPF50+/PA+++ .
From the ingredients, the Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Mousse SPF50+/PA+++ contains  'Hyaluronic Acid'  which is Sodium Hyaluronate  and 'Mix citrus Essence' such as Citrus Grandis (Grapefruit) Fruit Extract, Citrus Medica Limomum (Lemon) Fruit Extract, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Fruit Extract. These are the main moisturising ingredients for healthy and hydrated skin. 
Product information for the Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Mousse SPF50+/PA+++:
  • Strong & Long-Lasting Double Block - Provides SPF50+/PA+++ strong long-time double protection against harmful UVA which causes wrinkles and dark spots as well as UVB which causes skin burns and dullness.
  • Light & Cool 'Water-like' Fresh Feeling - UV cut ingredients locked inside the Aqua Micro Capsules releases water to provide skin with light and cool fresh feeling. 
  • Hydrates & Softens Skin - Contains 'Hyaluronic Acid' and 'Mix Citrus Essence' as the main moisturising ingredients. Leaves skin healthy and hydrated.evenly.
 The texture of Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Mousse SPF50+/PA+++ is in cream form. They name it as "mousse-touch UV cream'.  It looks a little creamy, however, it can easily spread on on my face. I usually use it after my moisturizer. The above photo showed the amount I use for my whole face.
When I use the Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Mousse SPF50+/PA+++, I do not apply my makeup base. I use it to replace my makeup base. I like its non sticky and the cooling feeling when I apply on my face.  My face tone look slightly fairer after I apply the Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Mousse SPF50+/PA+++. Therefore, do not apply too much on the face. I had tried to use it alone, with liquid foundation and two-way cake. It actually works well on my face, hold my liquid foundation and two-way compact powder. However, my face still  look a little shinny after lunch. I love citrus fruits, therefore, I felt in love with its mild fresh fruity fragrance. The above photos were take after I apply the Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Mousse SPF50+/PA+++, without any liquid foundation and two-way compact powder.  

Product Rating: 4/5
Where to purchase: Available at all leading pharmacies, cosmetics and beauty retailers, supermarkets and hypermarkets.
