Mamonde launching in Malaysia in August 2016

Anyone here familiar with Mamonde?

Good news guys! I was recently invited to the AmourPacific Malaysia launch preview of its latest brand, Mamonde (in french means 'My World') today. Mamonde products are fully imported from South Korea and is set to make its way to Malaysia in August 2016 by having the opening of its first beauty corner in Aeon Bandar Utama. What makes Mamonde so exciting? Read on to find out!

The Secret Garden of Mamonde

Just because i think its pretty. haha

Mamonde has been the leading global premium cosmetic brand that offers a wide array of skincare , and make up products to suit every woman's daily needs. At the launch, we were given an immersive brand experience as we entered the 'World of Mamonde'. The event started off with an introduction of the brand followed by a walk to the 'Mamonde Garden'.

Sharing some thoughts on their R&D team

Inspired by Flowers

At the launch, we were told that the R&D of Mamonde covers the 5 key flowers used in Mamonde formulation, flower science technologies and its floral properties. I was already hooked at the part where they share the fact that they used flowers in their formulation. YASS! Talk about being as pretty as a flower right?

What do you think of my masterpiece? (i tried)

And to a surprise, we had a moment to get all hands-on with Momande's product experience area, followed by a 'Flower Beauty Class' that captivates participants with all things floral. I got a little too excited to see flower petals on the table, but i wish i had more time to get my deco right. But overall, it was a very chill day be playing with flower petals.

Formulared with Narcissus extract

Formulated with Hibiscus extract

Formulated with Honey Suckle Extract

Formulated with Camellia Extract

Being the first of its kind, i still cant believe that they use flowers as its key ingredient in the formulation for all its products. Did you know that Mamonde shares AmorePacific Malaysia with four other brands under its company portfolio, which includes Laneige, Sulwhasoo and Innisfree?! Yup, being under the same company, its no doubt that Mamonde will impress women from all around the world.

Their STAR product.

I tried it myself, and it was surprisingly gentle on my skin!

Among Mamonde's star products includes The First Energy Essence/Serum, Cover Cushion, Age Control Power Eye Cream, Moisture Ceramide Cream, Lotus Micro Cleansing Foam, Rose Water Toner and Floral Hydro Cream. So once they officially launch in August, be sure to keep your eyes on the products i've just listed, and believe me, you're going to love the scent of flowers in your skincare.

Their make up range.

Pigment on point

I got a little excited when i saw that they had cosmetics featured too! From all your face, cheek, lip and eye needs to get you all dolled up to look as flawless as a rose petal. I did a swatch on Miriam's arm (thanks for volunteering) and i guess you can pretty much tell how well pigmented their products are. Looking forward for the range to be launched in Malaysia cause i cant wait to get my hands on a few shades that im already admiring. YAS!

The First Energy and Rose Water range

The Hibiscus Moisture and Gloral Hydro Range

The Age Control Range

The Pore Clean Range

Hand Creams anyone?

SunCare Range

The Pure White Range

The Lotus Micro Range

The Basic Cleansing Range.

Mamonde has been launched in South Korea, the U.S, China, Thailand and Malaysia at the moment, and im glad that they decided to finally launch in Malaysia. The price range is expected to be between RM6-RM169 which i have to say that its pretty affordable. Hehe. Have you spotted what you fancied yet?

[INTRO] REALASH Eyelash Enhancer and Brow Conditioner Review

Presenting to you REALASH

Hello there! I was recently introduced to Realash, and if this your first time hearing about Realash, let me share a thing or two about the Brand. Realash Cosmetics was born in France and are available in 35 countries nationwide! Their products are inspired by nature, where they discover the wonderful properties of natural plant extracts to produce innovative eyelash enhancers that deliver high effectiveness and safety proven by clinical studies.

> visit realash.com

Other product descriptions

And since I got myself a box of REALASH, I have to admit that I'm impressed by their packaging. From the packaging itself, I think we can justify that they do take their branding seriously. The box basically lists the details of the producer and social networks of Realash, with additional description on the products that they have to offer at the back of the box.

How can you not love packagings like these? 

Presenting the two products to be reviewed today

If you know me well enough, you should know that I'm a sucker for packaging, and I truely appreciate the extra effort of making the parcel look like a nicely wrapped gift. So in today's blogpost, I'll be talking about 2 products from Realash which features the Realash Eyelash Enhancer and the Brow by Realash Brow Conditioner. The main product from Realash is the eyelash enhancer, but they have stepped up the game by adding in eyeliner, mascara, eye serum, brow conditioner and more!

Current eyelash and brow condition

Since it claims to enhance your eyelashes, I've decided to take a picture of my eyelashes before using the product, so that we can compare a before and after shot of the results. I think I relatively have long enough lashes, but the question is, how much can the REALASH eyelash Enhancer really enhance my lashes? Well, there's only one way to find out! I'll be talking more about the product in this post, and in a month or so, I'll be posting another blog post on the results, so be sure to come back to keep up with me! Now, for the fun part! Review time.

REALASH Eyelash Enhancer

REALASH Eyelash Enhancer

3ml // and list of ingredients.

First up for review would be the Realash Eyelash Enhancer which happens to be the main featured product by REALASH. This innovative enhancer's mission is to increase density and lengthen your eyelashes. If you visit the product site at http://www.realash.com/realash-eyelash-enhancer.html, it shares that the lash growth phase lasts approx. 30 days. I know, it sounds too good to be true to me too! But that why I'm here writing about it. There's only one way to find out right? hehe. It claims to enhance your lashes up to 83% longer and 79% fuller, with no side effects reported during clinical test.

HOW TO USE? 

Special applicator tip

How to use.

As much as I'm excited to find out if it works for me, I have to say that I salute the idea that they have made it easy to be applied too! To make the most of the enhancer, use it once a day after removing your makeup and apply it to the upper eyelid at the roots of your lashes. Apparently, thanks to the easy-to-use applicator brush, the 3ml serum is enough for 4-5 months treatment. GOSH who knew?

BROW by REALASH Brow Conditioner

BROW by REALASH Brow Conditioner

4ml // list of ingredients

Next on the list would be Brow By Realash Brow Conditioner, which is suppose to enhance the look of natural, boldly defined brows by making them fuller, darker and simply gorgeous. Formulated with  active ingredients, plant extract, peptides and ginseng extract, it claims to guarantee full brow regeneration and care for the delicate skin around the eyes. From the product site, http://www.realash.com/realash-brow-conditioner.html, it says that positive changes can be observed after only 4 weeks. But for best results the conditioner should be used regularly for 8-12 weeks. So if you think you have thin, weak and very light brows, BROW by Realash is what you need.

HOW TO USE?

Special BROW applicator

Apply from inner to the outer side of brows

To use this, remove your make up and make sure your eyebrows are dry and clean. Use BROW once a day before sleep and apply the product using the applicator brush provided from the inner to the outer side of brows. For best results, be sure to use it constantly and you will start seeing positive results after 4 weeks at least.

The two featured products!

So there you have it! I'll be updating on the result in a month, where I'll include the weekly update shots of my lashes and my brows. Be sure to visit me from time to time to find out on the progress. Hehe. Thanks for reading my review, and if you're seeking more information or products that REALASH has to offer, head on over to http://www.realash.com.

Refering to the image above, all you need to do is choose how often you would like to receive a box of 12 snacks servings, fill your pantry with the snacks of your choice, and sit back and relax while you wait for your parcel to arrive.

Loving the first impression it gives!

Also all good things usually would come in a box! I admire packaging as a consideration of good quality and value when it comes to branding. So i truely appreciate the little details taken to make sure that subscribers feel special each time they receive a parcel from them. This snack delivery service aims to promote healthier snacking and are ideal for events, corporate gifts, ofice panty and meeting and workshops.

Details taken by BoxGreen

The content of my box

So whats in my box? Well, snacks of course! As you order online, you are allowed to pick up to 12 packs of your favourite snack to be sent over to your house. You will also have an option to choose whether if you want it to be sent weekly, twice a month or monthly, depending on how much you consume on snacks. With over 30 wholesome options, theres no doubt that you'd be spoilt with choices.

PAY ATTENTION TO LABELS

Spot the labels

Label descriptions

What makes BoxGreen different is that they have carefully labeled their snacks with easy to read health badges to suit different individuals. SWEET! So attention to health cautious snackers, BoxGreen has made it convinient for you to snack right based on your lifestyle needs. At times like these, i wished that everything i ate was labelled. haha. But its a good start by BoxGreen for taking the consideration of listing everything out. Yay to healthy snacking.

The Ubin Mix // Peanut & Honey Sunflower Seeds

Peanut Pretzel Muddy Bites // Peanut, Pretzel, Cashew, Dark Chocolate Nib

Rosemary Pistachios // Pistachio, Rosemary, Salt

Managed to try a few packs and im loving it so far! The portion given in each pack is about 30g per serving and i think its rather satisfying to get a taste of different things without over eating. Plus points for BoxGreen! Each packet has a list of the nutritional facts and an expiry date listed on each pack which pretty much says that they value the quality of these snacks to be eaten before a certain date. 

Have you found your favourite healthy snack yet?

And there you have it guys! I admit that im guilty for snacking on terribly unhealthy snacks like jelly beans, potato chips, and pure evil sweetened chocolate. But im hoping that with BoxGreen, its a new start to eating healthy.
