This new Dior fragrance evokes a fresh yet mischievous scent of a Miss Dior Chérie.
This new perfume depicts the young woman of today, playful but full of life, and goes against the monotonous drab of routine. This appealing scent consists of simple ingredients like bitter orange, strawberry, violet, jasmine, caramel popcorn, gardenia flower, patchouli and white musk. The result is a fruity tangy scent that exudes freshness and femininity with a modern touch.
Miss Dior Chérie EDT is available at 50ml (RM208) and 100ml (RM298) in Malaysia at all Dior counters.

Simple’s Oil Balancing Facial Scrub
By Samantha Chow Jia Ern, Updated: 7/30/2009
One of the nation’s leading skincare brands, Simple, launched a new product in an effort to combat blackheads, a common skin problem among Malaysian women. Samantha Chow Jia Ern gives it a test.
Simple recently launched its Clear Skin Oil Balancing Facial Scrub, a product of much research and study which is said to work to reduce blackheads and exfoliate the skin to achieve a softer, brighter and clearer complexion.
This face wash is suitable for those with oily and combination skin for its active ingredients absorb the oil and therefore keeping the skin looking cleaner and help prevent any zits forming. This particular facial scrub does not contain any artificial perfume, colour or chemicals therefore it won’t cause any irritation to sensitive skin. It is instead formulated with three skin loving nutrients – Witch Hazel to reduce blemishes and Natural Zinc PCA to absorb oil, exfoliate and smoothen skin, and two important vitamins - Pro-vitamin B5 to actively restore, soften and soothe and Vitamin E, which moisturises skin.
Samantha has combination skin and experience frequent breakouts especially in Malaysia’s hot, humid and hazy weather. The Clear Skin Oil Balancing Facial Scrub claims to reduce blackheads by an astounding 64% in just seven days. Samantha faithfully used this wash for a week in her quest to debunk the myth or discover the truth behind the product’s claim. Here’s what she thinks:
“When used, the scrub is surprisingly less rough than other scrubs I’ve used before. It comes out as a clear white cream but turns transparent when it goes on your face. It thins and dilutes considerably when I rub it all over my face, but when I wash it off, my face is noticeably brighter and cleaner. After seven days of use, my skin is cleaner, less oily and my blackheads are distinctly reduced.”
Simple’s Clear Skin Oil Balancing Facial Scrub is priced at RM19.90 for a 75ml tube and is now available nationwide at all leading pharmacies, hypermarkets, and supermarkets.

Eating for your skin
Samantha Chow Jia Ern, Updated: Thu, 30 Jul 2009 07:23:18 GMT
Just hours before the all-important date, you find a new red zit popping out prominently on your chin. Doesn’t it make you wonder why some women always seem to have naturally good skin, while you can never seem to achieve the flawless look without makeup?
Nothing comes free. Women who have gorgeous skin usually practice some kind of beauty regime regularly, regardless of whether she has good genes or not. Haven’t you heard of the saying, ‘you are what you eat’? Well, it rings true for anyone. No one can achieve perfect skin without practising at least a few healthy habits like washing your face regularly and eating nutritious food.
Vitamin A, C and E are vital nutrients for achieving good skin. Vitamin A helps rejuvenate your skin and protect it from the sun’s ultra-violet rays. Besides helping produce collagen and protect your cells from radical damage, Vitamin C helps fight off oxidative damage. Meanwhile, Vitamin E helps protect cell membranes and can work together with Vitamin C to provide an extra boost of anti-aging skin protection.
You should watch carefully what you eat because whatever you put in your mouth doesn’t just disappear into oblivion. It goes through your digestive system and whatever nutrients or unhealthy elements of the food that you gobbled down is absorbed by your body and it’ll show in your skin.
Your daily diet should be high in protein, fibre and of course plain water! Nothing beats good old H2O which detoxifies your body and is preferable to fruit juices which may have additional sugar or colouring.
There are some common everyday food that you can eat to help provide your body with the nutrients it needs to maintain healthy flawless skin – consume in moderation, of course.

Hot And Not: Michelle Obama vs Hillary Clinton
Samantha Chow Jia Ern, Updated: Tue, 28 Jul 2009 09:54:36 GMT
Two First Ladies – two different styles. Known as the new Jackie O’ of First Lady fashion, Michelle Obama is the new queen in fashion-dom and also the American nation. Hillary Clinton, the almost-President, is unfortunately notorious for her infamous fashion faux pas, which was the jibe of a foreign minister recently.
Mrs Obama’s modern chic style attracts and awes women all over the world. She has now become a new fashion icon of political correctness for her fashion sense as well as her role as the current First Lady of America. And under such public scrutiny, she has become the talk of fashion mags and gossip tabloids for her trendy yet classy style. Michelle Obama understands her responsibility with the power she holds, and she portrays it perfectly well in her chosen outfits while attending the numerous events as First Lady. How does she do it? Her strong shoulders, toned arms and shapely silhouette definitely complement her choices. Also her polished make-up and flattering hairstyles lends notches up in her style points. But most of all, it’s her impeccable dress sense that makes her the talk of the town.
Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton is making headlines…for the wrong reasons.
"Sometimes she looks like a primary schoolgirl and sometimes a pensioner going shopping," a North Korea spokesman was recently quoted. Poor Hillary.
Michelle is the new darling of America while the people are fed up of Hillary and her appalling fashion (as well as diplomacy?) skills. Here is why we say so.
