Bod Talk: Havaianas, Here I Come!

I was so busy that I rushed to Havaianas the second last day we were supposed to redeem them by. And was greeted by this sight in the window. Go BALIstic! Wow! Havaianas is having a contest where some lucky person is going to win a trip for 2 to BALI! ARGH....I want that!

The store-front. I wasn't sure I was at the right store because of the 
BALIstic sticker blocking the "Havaianas fish"?


A slightly better view from inside the store. Would have been really pretty
 if we could see the big fish.

YAY! I'm in the right store! Great way to show off all the variety of flip flops huh. Already so many rows to choose from.

Welcome to the Land of Havaianas!

But next to the entrance, you get to read up on the Design Evolution of Havaianas! From something resembling a Japanese slipper to the Havaianas we know today!

First thing you see when you walk through the door.

There are rows upon rows of Havaianas!! It's amazing! There must be an army of designers churning out collections every year.

Pretty??

Look! MORE Havaianas! And they have lots of stock! I love when there's always stock. Don't you just hate it when you find the PERFECT pair and they don't have your size? Anyway, I got my choice of Havaianas Slim from the range on the left (picture below) besides the last 2 pairs at the bottom. I could not pick between the silver ones and the gold ones and the grey ones. Black was out as it was a little plain, and the pink ones, not a great shade for matching stuff to be honest. I wish it were a lighter shade of pink. That would have been so pretty and I'd definitely have gotten it.  

MORE Havaianas!

Look Ma, even more Havaianas!!

And men say women are crazy and that they take hours to pick a pair of shoes. Who's talking now! There must have been a zillion designs in this shop mister!


A really spacious store! I like not feeling claustrophobic. 

I like when stores make sure there's a lot of space for customers to walk around. Look at all those sofas! There were at least 3 of them in the store!

The lovely staff were busy packing up my new pair of Havaianas.

The staff at Havaianas were really friendly and helpful. I didn't even need to show them my e-voucher. They just asked for my ID and checked my name off. I guess it also helped that I was the *ahem *second last person to collect my Havaianas *ahem*. The guy in the piccie showed me to the selections and helped me pick out my perfect size and went straight to pack them up while I was happily snapping away.

Great for summer! Classy and colourful.

This is probably my favourite Havaianas. It's it just princess-like and pretty?

And now, to reveal my chosen pair of Havainas! Which will it be? You just have to scroll down then!

TA-DA! My choice! Going for GOLD!


Loving my new duds. Sorry for my ugly feet! *gulps*

Yes, you'll have to see these babies at the Spa Party. Oops....


Anyway, I am so excited for the Spa Party tomorrow! Thanks LOADS to Havaianas and The Butterfly Project for my VERY FIRST PAIR!! See you all there!


Havaianas Stores can be found in Pavilion while the booths can be found at leading malls.

Bod Talk: Scent Affair Fragrant Bodywash in Almond


I was really surprised to get another bottle of Scent Affair Bodywash in the May HiShop box. And in Almond Oil no less. I'm not a big fan of almonds so read on to see if I liked it or not.

  • Improves skin complexion and retains glow

    The liquid in this concoction is translucent and has a subtle scent that isn't as strong as some of the other more expensive Amande scents. Which in this case is good for me as I don't really like almonds in general. Also, the bodywash is pretty moisturizing which is a plus point. It lathers up quite a bit so you don't need very much to begin with.

    I'm not sure if I'd buy this for myself because there are quite a few more nicer scents to choose from. But all in all, it's pretty nice for a reasonably priced bodywash.


    The Scent Affair Fragrant Bodywash in Almond (as well as other scents) comes in 725ml at RM 22.60, 275ml at RM 7.80, as well as the refill pack of 500ml at RM 8.90



    Disclosure: I was given the product above as part of the Beauty Ambassador Programme but was not compensated financially or otherwise. Everything mentioned are my own thoughts based on my experience.

    Bod Talk & Mane Deal: HiShop's May Beauty Ambassador Programme Box

    Oh yeah! I got another one!

     
    This is what I received as part of HiShop's May Beauty Ambassadors Programme.

    I have mixed feelings about the May box if I am honest. And it has nothing to do with there being just 3 items in the box.


    The reason I am a little disappointed is this:
    If the bottle on the bottom right looks familiar to you, it IS! I got this in the April box! But this one in a smaller size. That's the only difference.

    I'm disappointed that I got the exact same scent. And on HiShop's part, I think they should keep track of what they send to which bloggers so that they get the maximum reviews for their sample boxes.

     
    April box

    You can read all about my review here as I don't want to write the same review again for obvious reasons. The good news is that I got another bottle in Almond. Will be reviewing that!

    And the thing I was most excited about is the little thing called a Twistband (the cute pink ribbon).

    Bod Talk: Gimme a H-A-V-A-I-A-N-A-S, what does that spell?

     Why I want a Havaianas!
     Do you really have to ask?

    Everyone keeps on talking about this thing called Havaianas. Havaianas this, Havaianas that. But what's the biggie? It's a pair of slippers! Right??

    My THREE Reasons Why I Want (NEED) a Havaianas!!



    Reason #1  
    ~ I have suffered at the hand (foot rather) of a ratty pair of slippers. This is super comfy and comes in a rainbow of colours!

    The below 'illustration' with help using the LINE program. This is a true story, I really DO have the dark spot. Please read below for clarification.


    Reason #2
    ~ Everyone keeps on talking about Havaianas but I still don't have one yet! It's time for a new pair, for a new me! Even celebrities love Havaianas! They are so chic and stylish I hope they can make me those things too! *wishes*



    Reason #3
    ~ If I DO get to attend the Butterfly Project's Spa Party *wink wink* *ahem ahem*, I'm going to need something to show off my pretty new nails!

    Bod Talk: Scent Affair Fragrant Bodywash in Pomegranate

    As a HiShop Beauty Ambassador for the month of April, I received a full-sized bottle of Scent Affair's Fragrant Bodywash in Pomegranate. I was shocked by their generosity as this bottle is a whopping 725ml! I expected at least the smaller size so this was a wonderful surprise.

    If you can't make out the red sticker on the bottle, it says that this bodywash kills 99.9% of bacteria. Always a welcomed addition to a bodywash if you ask me.


    Product Highlights:
    • Anti-bacterial protection
    • Gentle on skin
    • Nourishes & rejuvenates skin 
    • Moisturizing with natural aloe vera 
    • Contains natural extracts of pomegranate
    • Leaves skin smelling great


    The liquid is quite thick and is light pink in colour, being pomegranate scented. You can't really see in the picture due to the colour of my palm but it's actually pretty pearlescent, perfect for the ladies. I must say that I did not really catch the pomegranate scent but at the same time, I don't remember pomegranates having a very deep scent anyway. It smelt a little soapy, which I like, as well as some subtle undertones. The scent is a lot stronger on application though and lingers on after your bath/shower. Not too strong, but just nice and it is not drying on the skin.


    The Scent Affair Fragrant Bodywash in Pomegranate (as well as other scents) comes in 725ml at RM 22.60, 275ml at RM 7.80, as well as the refill pack of 500ml at RM 8.90


    HiShop is now having a 34% discount for the 725ml at just RM14.80!

    Not only that, but if you:
    Buy one 725ml bottle, you a 275ml bottle FREE
    Buy two 725ml bottles, you get a 725ml bottle FREE
