Been invited to an exclusive private launch event of a new brand the past weekend. Have you guys heard of LAB 11 Full Lift Shampoo? I heard so much about the brand on various social media platforms & was eager to try out their shampoo!! yay

 My hair is in a pretty bad shape already & also last year i bleached my hair twice for ash grey hair. Yes, my hair is pretty luscious & thick but my hair condition seems to be in an awkward stage now - like the grey faded off, i dye 2-3 times again by myself so now it ended up in sort of a weird balayage?  I needed something to save my hair or it'll go haywire(literally).

 LAB 11 is from a very famous hair company based in Penang called Global Story (Hair Story Saloon's main company). I bet you have heard of Hair Story before right?

 It is such a privileged to be invited to this preview from my very own hometown!

Benefits of this shampoo ? What makes it so special from your daily shampoo brands ?

This shampoo contains active ingredients such as watercress, castor oil, argan oil, peppermint essential oil, eucalyptus essential oil, lime essential oil & sweet orange essential oil.

Honestly, i was so astounded by the ingredients of the shampoo i mean knowing what really goes into your hair gives sense of relief & peace of the mind. There's 6 types of essential oils in the shampoo. Isn't that just amazing?! plus its 100% pure essential oils!!! Oils have been known to be really good & a necessity for the hair because of the various goodness it provides. Basically, essential oils are like fantastic multi-taskers.

i found this quote on their website & i absolutely love it ; stick to one shampoo & it does wonders.

i totally recommend the Lab 11 Full Lift shampoo to all my friends & readers !!
 dont miss it ! this is seriously a premium shampoo that i personally try & love.

Hello friends ! 

Last month, I've been invited to rsvp at the YSL Beauty Hotel event which has finally came to take over the city of Kuala Lumpur!! Been eyeing on pop ups at other cities such as New York, London, Tokyo, Paris finally its here in Malaysia together to preview the New Rouge Pur Couture The Slim Collection and also an exclusive hotel with three immersive floors featuring edgy & unique experiences (& also lots of insta-worthy corners!) 

I managed to rush to the event because of the traffic and checked-in around noon nonetheless i avoided the long queue (alot of people was there). I received an email from YSL for the confirmation of attendance & a #YSLBEAUTYHOTEL unique QR code.

Interestingly enough, the QR code is required to scan by the staff & allows me to retrieve a personalized YSL Beauty Hotel key card (with my name on it omg) which i think is a super cool thing to do! The key card also grant me access to the arcade games & makeup counters there. I went to the event alone however i made 3 new friends upon arrival because we kinda just happen to be next to one another plus we help each other take #ootd #igworthypics so we group together to explore the place. Super grateful to meet this 3 beautiful ladies ok or else theres not going to be pictures for this blog & i will feel super lonely hahaha

With a total of  three floors consisting of the basement, ground floor and first floor. We checked-in at the lobby which is the ground floor. Upon entering i was welcomed by the big and bright neon lights the whole place was decked in and the lighting was dim hence making the hotel look fresh & alive. I was surprised that the whole place feels like an actual hotel!!


We went around the stylish lobby and took a lot of super worthy ig #ootd shots. Theres like a huge ysl beauty carpet & wallpaper to compliment our pics & they even included a neon-pink covered  luggage cart omg i almost screamed when i saw it on the hallway & there was a wall filled with international clocks of all countries that have hosted the YSL Beauty Hotel. The lobby was very picturesque (so was everywhere) & there was many beauty booth setups.We were given mini missions to complete for free gifts and samples.

We head up to the first floor which is the game room and also with the most celebrated YSL Fragrances, Mon Paris and Y awaits us. There was a mini stage setup with instruments for us to play with or to pose with in my case of not musically gifted lmao ok posers. The All Hours Beauty Bar was ready to glam us from head to toe & many classic arcade games like PacMan with a little YSL twist to it which i find its pretty adorbs. There was beauty counters & makeovers by YSL makeup artists and also YSL's fragrance collections were on display.

On our way to the basement, the showcase of  Rouge Pur Couture The Slim runway design was there to greet us and neither did we know, there was two super eye candies waiting for us omg i stood there in awe of their sight (the only time i come faced to faced 2 hot hunky male models i seen on tv) (a part of me dieded) There was a suite or should i say a bed where we can pose & get our picture taken with them. (yasss) and later that day did i find myself stalking them on instagram haha shoutouts to the hunky male models Malek Mccrone & Mehrdad Mozart for being at the event for more than 10 hours just to take pictures with all the humans (inc me) there ok thank you!! *hearts*

After roughly an hour or more we left the event with doorgifts & goodies bags from YSL consisting of a mini Black Opium fragrance (can last me a lifetime ok), a sample of Mon Paris fragrance, sleeping eye mask and more.  Thank you for reading and i hope to blog more in the future about events like this so follow me on my social medias for updates

They are generous enough to sent me a set of their products which consist of a shampoo & a conditioner the Damage Repair line. 

Lux Luminique provides consumers with a range of shampoos for different hair concerns such as Damage Repair, Relax & Smooth and Volume Shine.

Just in time to rescue my hair because my hair need extra care. The condition of my hair is rough and dry due to the bleach (no regrets lol) To simply explain, my hair tangles quite often & it is hard to care not to mention maintaining it. So i really appreciate to receive this Damage Repair set because i really needed it especially under this hot 24/7 summer here in Malaysia and i need to keep my hair nourished and refresh.

Before this,  i was using some non-chemical (more to natural ingredients) shampoo bought from the drugstore eventually leading to baby shampoo. I've been using baby shampoo for quite sometime now because i don't want any harsh chemical in my shampoo to prevent my hair for any further damage since i dyed my hair. Unfortunately, baby shampoo don't have enough nutrients/benefits towards my hair considering its meant for babies tho its not harsh and chemical-less i suppose. In a meantime, i had to find a suitable shampoo for my damage hair.

The Damage Repair is formulated with Natural Damask Roses Oil & Argon oilto nourishing hair scalp,  penetrates & repairs damage from the hair core, strengthen from within, giving you smooth and manageable hair. Since its specially-infused with Damascus Rose essence, it helps repair damaged hair by incorporating all natural plant-based nourishing essences. It is gentle, cleanses effectively, and provides nourishing care from deep within. Sounds about right what im looking for in a shampoo!! 

It also contained Jojoba oil which is capable of moisturizing hair and its folllicles without leaving any residue. It can help hair cells to reproduce themselves at a rapid pace. I've been a vivid fan of jojoba oil because of its benefits.

3 main features of this shampoo :

1. Derived from plant-based materials, naturally nourishing ! Chemical-less ☑

2. Professionally-formulated fragrance that lingers ~ Sweet-smelling scent ☑

3. Non-silicone, non-drying, leaves your hair airy and glowing. Essential needs ☑

After using this for almost two weeks now. (200% raw and unfiltered opinion) my hair is surprisingly more silky & smooth. They are more manageable now compare to previously. I see alot of major improvements to my hair. It does not tangle easily now and its not dry too!!! My hair feel soft and refresh. Worth mentioning is the sweet fragrance smell frm the shampoo! I love the smell of my hair so much  I can say i really fell in love with this product & i will purchase it in future. I can't really find any cons others than the pros of this shampoo (it does what it claims) to do so its a really really good product for your hair ! <3
