NEWS: THE LAUNCH OF A FREE BEAUTY SAMPLES WEBSITE MUFFIN.MY

Do you love a free website that you can redeem beauty products from writing reviews?  We finally have one in Malaysia now after waiting for so many years!  You can check my review HERE




NEWS: THE LAUNCH OF A FREE BEAUTY SAMPLES WEBSITE MUFFIN.MY




Muffin.my is officially launched! Introducing you Muffin.my, the first unbiased beauty review community in Malaysia, where we encourage members to share their beauty

experiences by writing reviews and earn points. From the points that they earned, they can redeem beauty products from our redemption catalog. Having more than 500 brands and 23,000 products in product library, Muffin.my connects beauty users with brands and products.



The Founder

The founder of Muffin.my, Ms Florence Chee shared h er story of the start up of the beauty community website. “Back in 2011, I was pursuing my professional degree in Manchester United. I was searching for beauty product review online and I found there was great information and reviews being shared in one of the top beauty review websites in the states, but I couldn’t find such website back in Malaysia. This is where I want to set up a one stop beauty review community in Malaysia,” she explained.

With a team of energetic and motivated staff (1 founder, 1 developer, 1 designer, 2 web administrator, & 1 PR manager), Florence tends to hand out to those who are in passion in beauty, skincare, and makeup products, to meet all their honest reviews on the products they are using. Florence described Muffin.my as a similar version of TripAdvisor website, but with more interactive elements. “We ensure all reviews are genuine and unbiased to ensure quality inspections,” explained Florence. After working in a web consulting firm for a year, she realized that working life isn’t her real goal. “Just as what Steve Jobs quoted “the only way to do great work is to love what you do”. I want to make my dream come true, and my dream is to create the largest beauty review

community.” “A lot of people asked me why use ‘muffin’ word for my website. I wanted to create a simple name where people will remember the websiteeasily. The word ‘muffin’ just popped out in my mind and the next day, I tried to register the domain, and volla, it is valid! So immediately, I registered my website www.muffin.my . However, many people thought that we are selling muffins!” laughed Florence. With 6 years of experience in internet retailing and marketing, Florence hopes that Muffin.my will reach

100,000 members in 1 year time. Currently, 92% of our members are women; with most of them are 19-29 years old.

Skin care was one of the most dynamic categories in Malaysian beauty and personal care, and with RM1.6 billion being spent annually by Malaysia, the vision to be one of the largest www.muffin.my



.

Future Plan


Our next step is to create a mobile-friendly app version, to allow people access to our website easily at anytime, anywhere. Our future plan is to create beauty forum, help beauty merchants to conduct online surveys or marketing research, mystery shoppers and who knows? Maybe we will sell beauty products in the future!

REVIEW ON MAC STUDIO MATTE OVERLACQUER

Do you like MAC cosmetics?

This is the MAC studio overlacquer top coat.  There is actually two types of top coat.  What I have here is the clear top coat for matte finish. So, if you love matte kind of nail polishes, you would definitely like this or just use this to turn those glossy nail polishes into matte.

The bottle is really elegant and cute.  It is made of glass so be careful even if it does not break easily.

The cap is the matte type which I like.

Depending on how glossy your nail polishes is, you might need a few coating to turn it into matte finishing.  On my nails, MAC studio overlacquer instantly turned the glossy polishes into matte.  The application for the nail polish is just effortless.  The top coat dried fast and lasted for about 5 days depending on the activities.

Sorry for my ugly feet. I had only used one coat in the photo.  So for more prominent matte, use few more coats.

Not sure about the price, guessing that it retails at RM48 at 10ml . I don't see it in Malaysia's MAC online shop but it is available in the Mac US website.

TUTORIAL ON EASY FRENCH NAILS WITH MASKING TAPE

Hi everyone, hope you are enjoying your shopping since it is Sale seasons and Christmas is coming soon.  Anyway, here is just a simple tutorial on red and white French manicure.

It is actually easy to do French manicure with a little trick.  Here is what you need.

EASY FRENCH NAILS WITH MASKING TAPE


Masking tape/scotch tape (avoid cellotapes or those tape for surgery)

Scissors

Nail polishes

Nail polish remover

Cotton buds






1. Clean your nails.
2.  Paint your nails with the color that you want
3. Cut the masking tape and stick it on the nails. Adjust the amount of thickness. Paint the white/second layer on it.
4. Remove the masking tape when dried.




It is easy to do it with nail polish that is quite fluid compare to thick nail polish. You don’t even need good skills or uneven French manicure on the other hands which always happens to me. =)

REVIEW ON JAQUELINE BURCHELL ATB005 RIDE THE WAVE

JAQUELINE BURCHELL ATB005 RIDE THE WAVE
JAQUELINE BURCHELL ATB005 RIDE THE WAVE
Sorry the colour look pale here but it has a brighter hue.

Sorry, my camera can't focus not how many times I tried to take =(.  That is why it looks so blur.


Jacqueline Burchell

JAQUELINE BURCHELL ATB005 RIDE THE WAVE
JAQUELINE BURCHELL ATB005 RIDE THE WAVE


The nail polish has a beautiful colour which is the pastel blue that I love. I like the name Ride the wave too because it reminds me of ocean which I love.

It doesn’t have any strong smell and dry very fast. The liquid is not watery but more in the medium type so it dry fast but of course not as fast as gelish type.

So, applications of the product are actually a breeze. The colour is not opaque on its own so one would need a white base for the colour to show itself or you would need a few applications to see the colour. I find that the colour are really vibrant as it has the ‘wet’ look even without topcoat. I didn’t apply the top coat on the photos.



I am not sure if this is available in Malaysia but you can find it in Singapore.


Not sure how much this retails. =(

Do go and check their website and Honeyz Cube facebook as they always have competition and free samples to redeem! They also have a shop and they sure give lots of free samples when you buy from them =).

Product are samples from Honeyz Cube where one earn points by just reviewing products or voting for products =).

WHERE TO GET AIRBRUSH MAKE UP-THE HOTTEST TREND RIGHT NOW

Why Try Out Airbrushed Makeup?


AIRBRUSH MAKE UP/THE SALON OUTLET

If you own an in home salon, you’re probably gearing up for wedding season. Every spring and summer countless brides and their bridal parties hit beauty, nail and hair salons for hair styling, waxing and makeup application for their big days. It’s time to consider all the extra money you could generate by doing airbrushed makeup if you only do hair or nails.

Today, airbrushed makeup has become a popular trend after all the interest it’s received on makeover and red carpet TV shows. And though airbrush kits recently been offered on infomercials, it’s something which is best left to someone who has taken some time to become proficient.

AIRBRUSH MAKE UP




If you can learn to do airbrushed makeup well, with air brush makeup from the Lash Shop , airbrush kit from http://thesalonoutlet.com , there is a huge industry for it in almost any town, with proms and weddings each spring. One of the primary benefits of airbrush makeup is when versatile it is. It can be applied very thin, for an almost sheer coverage or thicker for a full coverage to hide blemishes. Also, because it is applied as a spray, there are no unseemly lines or unblended areas that might show up later in photos. With airbrush makeup, what you see is what you obtain. It looks natural both in person and on camera.

Airbrushed makeup is something with a market almost anywhere your salon could possibly be located. If they have a possibility in their own hair or nail salon, since it’s gotten so much attention in the media lately, you can almost guarantee people who will line up to try out it. Additionally, being able to offer such top quality makeup application is just one more service you can add to the list of things available at your home based salon.

NAIL TUTORIAL- SIMPLE HEART SHAPE NAILS

I like nail art but I usually do them myself because it is quite pricey to do it at the salon. I know it is not easy especially the right hand but with practice it will come to you. =)

Many find that white nail matte polish look just like putting liquid paper on the hand but it would much nicer with some patterns on it. One doesn't necessarily use white nail polish for french manicure alone.

Today, I would just do a simple tutorial for heart shape on white background.

NAIL TUTORIAL- SIMPLE HEART SHAPE NAILS
NAIL TUTORIAL- SIMPLE HEART SHAPE NAILS

1. Paint the nail with nail white polish. Wait for it to dry.

2. Put two dot of purple or red nail polish on the nail.
3. Quickly, use a toothpick or pin to drag the colour from the left dot in a diagonal line. Do the same for another dot too. So, both will join and form a heart shape. Don’t wait long else it will dry up.
4. Paint other nails.


You don't need to use the same products I use here.  Other nail polish will do too =)


Products used here:
Toothpick
Bloop H119-white nail matte polish
Bloop H184


This is just a tutorial and so no review of products.
The opinions and tutorial here expressed here are my own and honest as always.

REVIEW ON SALLY HANSEN COMPLETE SALON MANICURE 550 ALL FIRED UP

Sorry for the lack of post as my laptop is with the 'doctor' for more than two weeks and I have to do this at the cyber cafe =( .

Chinese New Year is around the corner and normally the nail colour chosen to accompany the clothes would be red.  I am not really a fan of red nail polish but i think for Chinese New Year, it would be great.


flower nail art
Is this pretty?

SALLY HANSEN COMPLETE SALON MANICURE 550 ALL FIRED UP






The Complete Salon Manicure comes with 7benefits:
Base Coat
Strengthener
Growth Treatment
Color
Top Coat
Chip-Resistant
Gel Shine


The range comes with fancy names that matches the colour.  I got this All Fired Up and it really matches the red colour inside the bottle.  It does look like having a bottle of fire or blood boiling inside the bottle.  I  imagine too much. XD

The bottle is heavy as it is made of sturdy glass.  The colour is visible from the bottle itself.  Application was super easy with the application wand and it felt just like applying gel nail polish.  The end result was so even and beautiful.  The colour was also opaque and shine just from using one coat.  It does last long on my fingers considering I do laundry and housework. I think this is really the nail polish to get considering that one do not need to apply base coat to get the ed beautiful results.

I did the flowers  by using pin as I do not have any brushes to paint the nail polish.  Forgive me if it is not very beautiful.

Since it is Chinese new year, I bought this bright red shoes too =)



Products retails
Rm42 for 14.7ml at Zalora , Watson, guardian Pharmacy.  Made in USA

REVIEW ON BLOOP PARTY NAILS-EASY DIY


Christmas came early since this is the first time I receive a package from Bloop and HiShop .Thanks to HiShop for choosing me for this Bloop Buddyz. I received three things from the package-Bloop nail it strip for toes, Bloop nail it strip for fingers and a bottle of nail polish in H184. As usual, their package arrive in a beautiful pink package.



I understand that some company has strict dressing code and that include not nail polish on the fingers.  Still, I am sure women do love to adorn their fingernails with colourful cute prints especially with this coming Christmas season.  So, one option is to use nail strips.  One can remove it easily to avoid the boss frowning and nail strips also shorten the drying time.  There are so many beautiful nail strips offer by Bloop and well it is so much cheaper than going to the salon to do manicure.  The cheapest manicure already cost RM35 and well with nail strips, you can do it three times!  If you are a fan of nail strips, then this is for you =).
