Lancome Tresor Midnight Rose Review

Face of the new Lancome Tresor Midnight Rose, Emma Watsons

Do you want to smell like Parisian Love? The latest fragrance from Lancome, the Tresor Midnight Rose is love at first moonlight in a purple flacon (A small, often decorative bottle with a tight-fitting stopper or cap). Being a fan of dear Emma Watson (Harry Potter) I've seen her grow from being a cutesy lil girl to a sophisticated stylish lady. Now she's the face of the new Lancome Tresor Midnight Rose perfume. Her photos were taken by Mario Testino in Paris.

my feelings on Midnight Rose

I fell in love with Tresor In Love last year and this year I've my heart set to seduce my man with Tresor Midnight Rose. A special blend of passionate accords of raspberry and rich rose nuance creates a fragrant tale of love at first sight between gentle rose petals and red fruit zest of raspberry. It continues with a hint of peony and jasmine, in an elegant and sophisticated way. Insolence felt in a heart comes from pink pepper and a dose of gentleness from currant buds. Base notes provide tranquility and comfort– composed of warm and soft vanilla, woody nuances of Virginian cedar and sensual musky veil.

What's in Tresor In Love?

What's in Tresor Midnight Rose?

My verdict? It's musky and feminine, just my kind of scent. The sweet musk of raspberry couple with vanilla almost smells like a hint of blueberry. Reminds me of Secret Wish by Anna Sui but better, more refine and tuned like a fair lady. Seriously loving this new perfume by Lancome. The cute purple rose tied to the flacon, just embodies Paris all over again. Highly recommended if you love musky scents and sweet smelling berries.

Top notes: raspberry rose absolute
Heart: jasmine, peony, currant buds, pink pepper
Base: Virginian cedar, musk and vanilla

Hot Drink Refill For iPhone 4/4S?

saw at apple store in 1Mont Kiara

Yesterday while waiting for my bf, I saw this really cute product that resembles a take away hot drink in Machine's store in 1 Mont Kiara. It was a battery refill charge for iphone 4/4s! Really cute, I can't remember the price. It must have been around RM150 around? I was thinking why would anyone carry such a bulky iphone charger around but then again I have been thinking about it today coz it's so cute.

Horror Manga: Dragon Head Manga by Mochizuki Minetaro (World End)

interesting tragedy horor manga genre

I just finished reading Dragon Head Manga today, all 10 chapters of it on my iPhone. It's a weird feeling having to read it all and ended up with an ending that I couldn't dare comprehend. This manga is about the world end tragedy of Japan. A boy name Teru and a girl Ako survived from day 1 of being stuck in a railway tunnel where their classmates and teachers died, till surviving outside with water, food and clothing supplies from stores and shops outside, somewhere along the story they encounter a human called "Dragon Head"and horrific nature disasters that seems to be of no end, almost devouring their country. Their final stance was in Tokyo, their home.

This manga reminds me the movie by Sylvester Stallone's Daylight and Lord Of The Flies. The human fear that brings out the worst in us. Recommended read if u have time to kill. 

You can download free from MangaFox or MangaEden. I download mine from MangaDL or MangaStorm (manga reading app).

From Tokyopop: 

In the horror of witnessing so many classmates perish before his eyes in a violent train wreck, Teru discovers two survivors in the tunnel: Ako and Nobuo. But salvation from this bloody carnage is far from their grasp. As they try to dig out from the wreck in order to come up with a plan to stay alive, the lack of light and food, combined with the stench of death and decay, will lead one member of the group down a dark and demented path. And with sudden, violent earthquakes shaking the tunnel, escaping to the outside world may lead them to an even greater danger...

Coconut Flower Telok Gong For Chinese New Year Lunch

sis & bro drinking their coconuts RM5

resort like restaurant

Every second day of Chinese New Year, me & my family will go to Coconut Flower Seafoods Restaurant, Telok Gong for seafood. Kenby joined me after texting to meet up for a movie, so I asked her to join us for lunch. It's just a short drive from my hometown Port Klang.

This place was really popular when they started 10 years back but ever since their prices soared up, many complained that this place is just average. They're also popular for the homemade Coconut Flower Wine (also called coconut tody) which I hear is quite a kick after a few bottles with crabs. I never dared  try drinking it and the smell is awful to me. Imagine the overpowering scent of fermented coconuts?

While I agree that their prices are slightly higher than before and taste wise is just average, I still find it a convenient place to have seafood around my home, has menu in ENGLISH (coz I can't read Chinese) with photos on the board so it's easy to order especially for those who has no IDEA what to order and food comes fast.

taste weird steam lala in chinese wine

"kam heong" lala very hot &nspicy

For Chinese New Year, my brother ordered his favorite butter prawns RM25 (he has crab & clams phobia). My mom, sis & me are crab-eaters so we got the medium sized crabs for 1kg cooked in kam heong, a spicy dish which my mom couldn't take it anymore after the first bite. I wanted Shark's Fin Soup RM60 (serves 6-8 bowls) and the famous steam lala in Chinese wine that I've been reading about online. However it taste weird maybe because of the Chinese wine (I hardly eat anything cooked in Chinese wine so...). The lala meehon was nice for RM6, full of small lalas. Overall not bad, our bill for 5 pax comes up to RM213.00 (with 6% service charge) inclusive of many coconuts and drinks to quench our thirsts. If we didn't order Shark's Fin Soup, the bill would be cheaper.

 got mine and no pesky vouchers to carry anymore

(it's now in your Prestige VIP member e-card!)

 the cute booth attracts everyone at one utama

compare the new and the old 

break this part for a mini card to carry

The Prestige VIP member card privileges remains almost the same and now you don't have to carry that booklet of vouchers around anymore because the member information are online now in La Senza stores when they scan the bar code on your card. I didn't fancy keeping the vouchers and carrying it around (because at one point or another, they'll tear and get worn out in my bag). It's also not space saving to keep a booklet of vouchers in your purse, so I tend to leave it at home. The new card is great, eliminating that and serves a two way purpose of either keeping a mini card key chain or bringing the actual size card around =)

Also for anyone who signs up! La Senza gives u a mystery card to scratch where you'll get a mystery gift!* (La Senza merchandise). This might have expired already but do ask La Senza when you're signing up.
