As for me, I usually apply my lotion after shower at selected areas i.e. arms, thigh and legs. Why? Because that the part that usually expose to the surrounding and I usually apply it after I wear my outfit. But sometimes when I was in rush, I don't even have time to apply it. This resultant me to have a dry, flaky and coarse skin condition!!! Arghhh!

So, if you are given a chance to solve the problems i.e. by achieving a radiant, moisture and beautiful skin for the whole body, and the most important is you can achieve it while having a shower, will you buy it?

Bandar Utama, 47800 Petaling Jaya, Selangor

We were briefed and demonstrate the function of its special "compartments" at certain types of the bags displayed by the CEO, Mr. Liew. He is very friendly and willing to share with us the secret compartments of each and every bags created. From the demonstration, I noticed that all the bags by Terminus® designed with full of thought. Each and every type of the bags comes with its own function and this would really cater its user needs.

Mr. Liew demonstrate the Backpack with Trolley

The Trolley is hidden. - like a magic

For example, the Bagpack With Trolley. This bags is great to use for holiday outing (perhaps for 1 - 2 days). The trolley is automatically hidden when u keep the handle, so that you can wear it as a normal backpack.

5 in 1 Transformers

The 5 in 1 Transformers is design to cater for businessman who is on a business trip. The bags is divided into 3 compartments. Most front to fill with trip documents (i.e. passport, wallet, camera etc), middle to put the files documents/laptop, and the back compartment for clothing (also comes with toiletries bag!). 

A compartment to keep the hot water

This bag also comes with diaper mat! how cool is that?

Another bagpack type perfect for mummy and daddy. Its called Daddybag that full with special compartments for baby perfect for travelling. I dont have a kid yet but by looking at the compartments designed for this bag, I thought that this would makes mummy life much more easier.

The Pillow Laptop Bag. Its huggable

OMG there are so many bags with it's own story to tell. I am so attracted to this Laptop/tablet bags that can also can be used as a pillow. Mr. Liew told us a story how this bags save his laptop from being stolen from his car. He kept his laptop in the bag and store it at the back seat. Somehow, the bags were not taken because who can expect to have a laptop in the pillow right?

So which bag I choose to complete my life? I totally love this black backpack. It is design for a light traveler like me. What I love about this bag? 

I choose for this city light backpack!!

1. The material used is a leather like. I feel its so soft and hug-gable.

Came in two colours and I choose the black one. Easier to match with any outfit.

The zip is located beneath the handle. Safety and security from pickpockets 

3. I love how the zip was store at the inner side of the bag. It give more security to the bag. Feel less worry for a pickpockets especially if you travel in a crowded place.

I think this bag quite spacious despite of its cute apperance

4. More compartment inside. I can put my laptop, my camera, etc

It was LOVE at the first time of usage. Thats' what I can say about this product. It is a Brow Lash Ex Mascara and Liquid Liner (2 in 1) by BCL.

Mascara is always a huge thing in cosmetic. It change your looks instantly. From SMALLER eyes to LARGER eyes. From TIMID look to the DRAMATIC look. Or from DECENT look to the WILD look. Create however looks you want and with the perfect mascara, you will know exactly what I was saying. Enough with the mumbling. Lets head straight to the product.

BCL or Beauty Creative Lab is a makeup brand from Japan. It is where the Beauty and Passion comes to Life. Based on the four famous makeup looks from four big cities in Japan, Harajuku, Akihabara, Shibuya and Yokohama, BCL has created few lines of products to created the desired looks.

Brow Lash Ex Mascara and Liquid Liner (2 in 1) by BCL.

This is one of the new product which recently launched in Malaysia market.  In this post I am not going to do a review on the liquid liner because I haven't use it yet. Instead, I am going to share with you my thought on the mascara. Just Because ---- I love it too much and I cannot wait to show you why.

Result:

I want to show you ma Beautylicious the result before I proceed to why owh why I love this product.

Tadaa ---

With Natural Light - can you see the HUGE difference?

Again - this time with Flash.

See mamma mia - my lashes appears longer, more voluminous and looks like I was wearing false lashes

My Verdict:

So, what element in this product that able to create such lashes?

1. I noticed the formula contain micro-fibres element that would enhance the volumn  and added length to the lashes. 

2. The design of it's wand that would also helps to create the curls and volumn while application

3. The formula was design for no clump despite for how many times of application. To achieve the look tht I showed above, I applied four times!! 

4. It is 24hr waterproof formulated proven!! It is an oil based cosmetic and hence to remove it you need an oil makeup remover.  

5. The right technique and ways how to apply the mascara would help to enhance the lashes as well.

Tips and Technique:

Recently, I attended BCL Workshop and I learnt new tips how to apply mascara that would enhance your lashes.

1. Curl your lashes - Usually I skip this step because I'm scared of eyelash curler.. 

2. Then brush your lashes inwards for 3 times. Then leave for 30 second.

3. Then only you brush the lashes outwards 

4. While brushing the lashes outward, try to create the curl.

5. And the result will be stunning!!!

To explain further, I found this diagram by MyBeautyDepartment.com and the steps by step how to apply is very easy to follow.

This product retails at RM69.90, you may purchase it at SASA or some of the Watson branch. For some of you, this product can be a bit pricey but considering this product is a 2 in 1 (mascara and liquid liner in one go) - I think this product is still affordable!. Well, the product can be bit pricey because it proven for its quality, right?  

This mascara is definitely will become one of my best companion for everyday look. As for the liquid liner - I will do the review about it soon.

Until we meet again in my next post! xoxo
