HiShop May Ambassador Surprise Pack



This marks my second time receiving a variety of handpicked products from HiShop themselves. Let's take a look what is in the May Surprise Pack! *excited*

The usual vouchers. Feel free to use them :) 

Twistband arrived just in time in the May Surprise Pack because my hair tie vanished and I couldn't find them to tie my hair! Twistband is a product originating from US. It's made of soft elastic that keeps the hair secured and at the same time doesn't leave marks on the hair. They have various designs sold at HiShop and it looks cute on the wrists too! Check out here for more designs!

My favourite product out of this month's surprise pack! Jelly Pong Pong's Supermodel Stain is for the lips and cheeks! How convenient :D I got to know about this brand quite a while back because I was looking for an alternative to the Benefit's Benetint. Glad that I finally get to try this because it is amazing!

I love how HiShop chose the right colour for me. Although the red looks really bright from here, it gives a natural finish when applied on. As my skin is quite dull, the cream colour blends well with my skin and gives me a more healthy and fresh look which I absolutely adore. I also apply it on the lips to give it a hint of colour. The mini compact mirror attached it is really convenient especially when there is no mirror around.

Farmasi's All-in-One BB Cream is a moisturizer, anti-aging cream, sunscreen, primer and foundation rolled into one. Perfect for us ladies who is always on the go! It contains macademia oil, vitamin b3, oat extract, argan oil, silk protein, spf 15 and collagen which is beneficial for the skin.

The texture is very lightweight and provides a nice coverage. Depending on your skin, you can wear it own its own, or worn under power, depending on the coverage your are looking for. It has a really nice fragrant to it too!

That's all for HiShop May Ambassador Surprise Pack.

A pair of Havaianas? Yes, please!


Havaianas is a well known flip flop brand originating from Brazil.  The first pair of Havaianas was made in 1962, which was inspired by the Zori, the typical Japanese sandal.  Since then, Havaianas never stopped producing flip flops that set a new wave of trend with their variety of designs.

I have been hearing a lot of good reviews regarding the Havaianas flip fop but never gotten to buying them yet. I love their colourful flip flops which seem to brighten up my mood whenever I visit the store because it is really eye catching and pretty. Their quirky and colourful ads is eye catching, which is a very good marketing strategy to promote the brand :D

Without wasting time, I will jump into the reasons why I would like to own my very first pair of Havaianas as I have been dying to get one since forever!


1) Comfortable
Even though it is just a pair of flip flops, Havaianas is very comfortable to wear and does not hurt the feet when walking long distance. A friend on mine constantly raves about how comfortable Havaianas is as she have been wearing them daily and also during her travels where her feet does not get tired easily. I don't usually wear flip flops as they spoil easily but Havaianas is a brand that is high in quality and comfort which is why I would love to have one!



2) Breathability
Compared to shoes and pumps, Havaianas flip flop allows the feet to breath. Wearing covered shoes often traps the feet in a closed area which can cause odour due to sweat as the weather in Malaysia is quite humid. Plus, bacteria and sweat often gets left behind in shoes and in the end, you'll have to throw the shoe away due to the permanent odour. With Havaianas, it keeps the skin healthy by allowing it to breath and minimizing odour. 


3) Design
I love how Havaianas always have new design that keeps up with the trend and at the same time creating new trends. So far, Havaianas is the flip flop brand that stands out to me as they always have amazing designs that are never boring. Every time I visit Havaianas store, it makes me want to purchase tons of their flip flop as the designs are really pretty and unique.  Unfortunately,  I can't do that. If not, I would be walking with a new pair of Havaianas everyday xD


The Butterfly Project's Spa Party!


The Butterfly Project is having another exciting project coming up this June! It's called the Spa Party and hearing this news made me super excited for what's to come! Look at all the awesome collaborators for this project!

I am sure you have seen me mentioning The Butterfly Project on my blog and social media platform. They are a community consisting of independent beauty and lifestyle bloggers. Having joined a few of Butterfly Project's events, I must say everything is so much fun! It has been a great journey so far, getting to meet new bloggers and also attending lovely events.

Posh! Nail Spa offers manicure and pedicure service , nail extensions and enhancements, as well as waxing and eyelash extensions. I rarely go for mani and pedi session because I am quite a 'rough/clumsy' person where my painted nails often gets damaged accidentally. Still, I would love to have an amazing nail experience with Posh! Nail Spa.  Idea Food Solution provides catering services of yummy canapés, food and many more! How awesome it is to have your tummy filled while getting pampered at the same time?! 



Fotobox is a digital photobooth service provider! Normal photobooth camera are not so high in quality but Fotobox camera is up to 14.4 megapixels with auto exposure and built-in smart flash. With such amazing technology, I can't wait to take loads of fun pictures with all the bloggers during the spa party! Tres Chic The Party Planner is an event company. Based on their portfolio, I can't wait to see the amazing setup for the spa party! Everything is going to look lovely :D


The Body Shop and Johnson & Johnson  are also part of the collaborators which I am excited about! I used the body butter last time and loved it! Heard a lot of great stuff about their brushes too! In fact, I bought one eye shadow brush during The Body Shop's sale and it is really nice. Have been using Johnson and Johnson products for a long time when I was a kid. Love their baby powder, lotion and shampoo. I just only found out that brands like Neutrogena, Clean & Clear and Listerine are manufactured or owned by Johnson & Johnson!


Adding on to the many collaborators are Pink N Proper, Timeless Truth , Only Beauty and Havaianas, it adds in to the excitement and I hope that the date for the event is tomorrow already! Time travel? haha...

Bringing in fashionable outfits from the UK, I am anticipating on the things Pink N Proper are preparing for the spa party! After reviewing the mask from Timeless Truth, I fell in love with that brand for their effectiveness. Can't wait to get my skin pampered by TT Masks! Only Beauty is a beauty portal that gives out free samples and has reviews on products. Looking forward to what they will bring to the Spa Party! And lastly, Havaianas, a Brazillian flip-flop brand that offers comfortable and stylist flip-flops!

After introducing all the collaborators for the Spa Party, here are the three reasons why I want to join the party so badly!


The first reason is that ever since I started working, my activities has been greatly reduced and mostly revolve around work, sleep and thinking about work. Joining this spa party will help me break out from the mundane cycle of my current situation. Not to say that my job is boring. I like where I am now, but I need a quick escape to pamper and refresh my body and mind! With this spa party, I would feel rejuvenated and more energetic!

Secondly, is that every girl loves to be pampered! I get to have a relaxing weekend pampering session with a variety of products, service and activities. I hope that my dull and tired looking skin will get to look healthier with the all the pamper and care I get at the Spa Party. It will be a amazing girls day out with the other bloggers, where I can let my hair down and forget about work stress for a day! I look forward to meeting new bloggers and catching up with all the lovely bloggers I have met previously.

Lastly, it is because my birthday falls in the month of June! Can I attend this spa party as my birthday present? Haha...  June would be a very hectic month as well, and I wish that this Spa Party could be a great opportunity for me to have my well deserved break and have an awesome time with fellow bloggers.

*fingers crossed*
