Twist and Pout : Not just your ordinary lip moisturizer.
I am pretty much attracted to this product because of the packaging. They are just so.. pretty! This is not your ordinary lip balm stick. This is a fashion statement!!! You have to agree with me on this.The packaging itself is irresistible and there are plenty of design to choose from!
I first heard about this from Serendipity. When they first bring this in I was wowed to no end!!! They are really pretty! lol I said pretty too many times didn't I? Still I keep my composure, didn't lose control. I have not been spending unnecessarily so I will not cave in for a lip balm! After few weeks or so came in the email saying they are waiving postage fee!! There goes my strong will 
I have been earning cult points from them so I redeem this lip balm with the points I have accumulated over the months. I got myself two of these pretty baby! I have high hopes for this you see! To see if I am really satisfied, do read on..

Since I have bragged about how pretty the packaging is. Let me show you the close up pictures and some explanation before I move on to the lip balm itself.
Twist and pout come with detachable ring (rim) with a clasp and a charm attached to it.
No doubt with the ring, your T&P will be bulkier and heavier, not to worry, you can always detach them. T&P is still cute even on its own.
To me the key chain is pretty useful. You can hook your lip balm to your clutch, handbag..or even your bikini. lol
This is how your T&P look like when you first open it. Pull out the seal and you will see the product.
When I first look at the real product behind the seal I was surprised. It was different. As you can see from the picture I took from the website the product seem to be protruding out from the bottom half. Similar with EOS lip balm when in fact in real life T&P does not look that way. They do not even go beyond the tip... I do mind because I have to dip my finger in the product instead of just swiping the product directly on my lips..
Putting the fact that the illustration is not the same with the product you are getting, the lip balm itself is pretty nice. They do keep lips soft and moisturize but they certainly will not help in treating chapped lips.
T&P comes in two different types, clear and shimmer. The one I have with me is shimmer.
According to their website this smells citrus-y. To me, they do not. Well maybe a little but more of a sweet scent.
Lastly, the biggest turnoff that may refrain me from repurchasing this in the future is the taste of the lip balm. They are so freaking sweet! Very sweet! It feels as if you are putting sugar syrup on your lips. Very impossible not to lick your lips! Plus the sweet scent lingers just below your nose and you know that it will taste exactly how it smells.. Tell me how can you resist that?
Conclusion
Th biggest turnoff for me is the sweet taste. But I do believe some of you might actually love the lip balm because of this, so if you are not like me ( I hate lip product with taste) this lip balm is definitely for you! Gorgeous packaging with not so overwhelming scent. Plus once you run out, you can just buy the refill at a much cheaper price instead of buying the whole thing.
I bought mine from Serendipity at RM40 each but if you are outside of Malaysia you can visit Twist & Pout and buy from online retailers listed.

If you are worried that your ring (rim) might get rusty, don't be. They are not made from metal.Only the clasp and charm is.

From the pot, the lip balm look pinkish with micro pink and green shimmers. On my lips, they look glossy and sparkly without any noticeable tint.

Brazilian Wax @ Honeypot One Utama
Aloha gorgeous!!! I went for my second waxing experience and I would love to share with you girls! I was invited by Honeypot to experience their signature treatment, the sexy Brazilian.
Honeypot Wax Boutique started their mission to make women more confident and well groomed in Singapore, after three local salons, they have expanded to successful franchises in Indonesia, Bangkok and Malaysia! Their first local boutique in Malaysia was located at Bangsar Shopping Centre. Now they even have another outlet in One Utama!
I went for my signature treatment in One Utama. The One Utama outlet was small but the decor is gorgeous. Their website says it all.
They have funky signature motif walls in pink! Private pink treatment rooms and the staff who handle my treatment was very well trained. The highlight of my visit was to found out that Honeypot Wax Boutique in One Utama do serve male customer. If you wanna go down butt naked and show some skin do it in style and be well groomed! Do call to make an appointment guys!
Honeypot offers full waxing services. They even have aftercare products made and sold exclusively for them. I will get to the products at the end. Let me take you on a little tour in the One Utama outlet. They have four rooms in total.
This is the ladies room. Its in pink!
Since Honeypot in One Utama is offering unisex treatments they even have two rooms for the gents. Its in black!
As I mentioned earlier, I had a pleasant visit. My therapist handle my treatment professionally. I do feel a little pain but the treatment was over before I even realize it. She was efficient! I had quite a chat with her too. lol
They are very hygienic, Honeypot does not double dip their spatulas and they use disposable spatulas, gloves and cotton bedspread.
They uses hot wax on sensitive area and strip wax on other parts. The only downside is you don't get to choose what kind of wax you want, in terms of flavor. So gents, you have to go for the cherry pie too.. like us ladies...
Honeypot aftercare products are made exclusively for them. Their products do not test on animal and sourced from Australia and United Kingdom.
They have more range of products listed on their website.
I particularly love their scrub! If you love lavender scent this scrub is for you. Amazingly calming!!! Oil-free, lavender and chamomile scent. Helps in removing dead cells, clear congested pores and ingrown hairs after waxing or shaving.
If you are a waxing virgin, don't worry. I've been there. The do's and don'ts and what to expect may come in handy!
Here are the price range for treatments offered by Honeypot:
Body Wax: RM12-RM95
Brazilian: RM30-RM115 (I went for Hollywood- RM98)
FaceWax: RM12-RM70
You can get Free RM20 voucher for Honey Signature Brazilian Wax Treatment by filling the form here
Visit Honeypot Facebook Page!
Honeypot is a leading award winning boutique, as the Singapore salons have scooped several high profile magazine awards including “Best Brazilian Wax 2006″ by Cleo Magazine, “No 1 Pick for Brazilian Wax’ by Timeout Magazine, “Brazilian Wax Salon Winner 2007″ by Simply Her Smart Shopper Award, “Best Brazilian Wax 2008.

Christmas Gifts Below RM100
Hola dearies!!! Is December treating you nice??? Certainly quite a bumpy road for me but looking forward for a beautiful Christmas and 2012!!
I believe with RM100 you can get a very decent gift for someone this Christmas. Here I have few gift ideas just in case you need more suggestion or just thinking of getting yourself some below RM100 goodies because you have been a goood gooood girl all year long... I know I have
Most of the gift ideas are the stuff I have tried and love. Best of all you can get them locally in Malaysia.. You may need to incur postage fee tho..
My all time love, Unii Palette. This RM100 per Unii is for a limited time only. Get one from Serendipity.
Talking about my HG lipbalm, Jack Black! I have few friends that fall head over heel for this. I personally would recommend the Natural mint flavor. Will review Lemon and Chamomile soon.. Get this in Sephora
Get a palette of 88 eyeshadow colours for someone! Awesome for beginner. I have 2 of these myself. 88 matte and metal palette. The colour payoff and the price are both amazing! I bought both from Sharon. Check her website for ready stock 88 palette.
I bought 5 of the Rainbow colour last week. You have to check Inglot Store in Sunway Pyramid or Queensbay Mall Penang for more varieties. Check my swatches for the 5 colours I own.
These are my favourites! I have all of the products included in this set and I am totally loving them! Any girly girl will definitely love the scent!! Get this from Sephora.
If you are a nail polish addict you have to visit Nail Fiesta. So far, Nail Fiesta is the only online store in Malaysia that have such a vast variety of ready stock nail polish. If you are lucky enough, you might get your favourite colour at RM20 or less and I am talking about authentic OPI!
One of the cool gift to wow someone. Love the holographic effect of this See my review! Inglot AMC lipgloss in 541 is the most outstanding in terms of giving you the effect you see in the tube. Get this in Inglot Store Sunway Pyramid or Queensbay Mall Penang.
Something new I tried recently. A warning, NOT for someone who hate sweet lip balm. This lip balm is really really sweet, literally. But I love the packaging so much!The product itself look so presentable! Review on this will be coming up as soon as possible. Get this from Serendipity.
Last but not least single Beauty Blender. Something to help someone to look flawless this Christmas! RM70 but only for limited time only. Get this from Serendipity.
