Hi.. I’ve been looking everywhere for a dress suitable for a
masquerade ball for my university’s freshers’ week thats coming up..
Something either black or gold or silver or white and also short,
priced around, preferably beneath rm200.. But I haven’t found
anything!! I like bubble skirts too, but they are so hard to find..
Any idea where to get these two items? A nice dress with a bubble
skirt would look so good!

Rgds, Amira Bee

emmagem: Can anyone help this lady find her perfect ball gown? lols:-)

How to find a lipstick that can help me create that luscious shine on my lips?

ie: Angelina Jolie

Thanks, Allyaa

Hey Allyaa, maybe you can try Maybelline’s Watershine 3D Collagen. I went for this event recently and was introduced to this product

Maybelline’s new range of lipstick that has a collagen effect to give you that voluptious lips that you’ve always wanted. So your lips will not only look shiny, but also, pouty ala Angelina Jolie. Now don’t we all want that lip-smacking pouty lips? Just like the model in that Maybelline Advertisement, lookie at her lips! So pouty and shinyyy! Here, get a closer look:

So now we know, she wasn’t born with it, it was Maybelline’s lipstick!!! Maybe she’s born with it, Maybe its Maybelline! lols. 

Luscious, pouty lip effect, yums. I’ve been given the opportunity to try on the lipstick at a Make Up Party held by Nuffnang and Maybelline. It was awesome, because we get to try on all Maybelline products But no, we don’t get to keep them all. Although I would love to have them all. A few of us bloggers were invited for the make up party. Two of them were make up reviewers/bloggers (and pros in my opinion on make up) Paint-Me-Gorgeous and Mywomenstuff.  Owh, owh, I also met Cheesie of Cheeserland aka Ringo of Malaysian Dreamgirl Finalist and also Audrey of fourfeetnine (ok, I jakun, cos i secretly stalk these girls’ blog once in a while).

Anyways, back to the party, let me show you all (okay, some of) the products that were there for our Make Up Party. Its like, whoa, such a girly party with all the make up available for us to play around and test the product. The only thing that were missing were clothes and pink walls. -_-

SO MANY. This was before we rummaged through all the make up and made a huge mess:) 

The many eye shadow color palettes which comes with a 4-step instruction. 

Mascara that I personally use - Volum’Express is awesome. They also have eye liners in liquid or pencil form and eye brow pencils which comes with the brush.  

Liquid, Mousse and Powdered foundations under Maybelline

There were so many water shine lip glosses that we got to try on. Now I know what’s my colour and can go get one:) 

Our task was simple. We had to just have fun and doll ourselves up with the make up and use the new Maybelline’s Watershine 3D Collagen Lipstick to finish off the look!

Us being girls, went straight to the make up treasure chest and started make up-ing. 

So many many make up. Cheesie and Audrey don’t know where to start. 

Rub rub, blend, blend. Audrey putting on make up on Cassandra. 

Someone trying on Eye Liner. I’ve always used pencil eye liner. I’ve yet to master the art of liquid eye liner!

We took turns to do make ups for each other and ourselves. It was really fun as we got to learn from each other the do’s and don’ts of the art of make up-ing. I myself haven’t mastered the art of eye shadow, so the lovely Cassandra of Paint-Me-Gorgeous did my eye make up that day.

Everyone after the party. All made up!:) 

She really is good at make up. She ended up doing her own make up at the end of the day. Go check out her blog at  Paint-Me-Gorgeous. She reviews make up and tries them on to do write ups.  Mywomenstuff too is a blogger with much experience with make ups. Go check out what they’ve reviewed and what stuff they recommend. 

She actually did only one eye and I followed her lead for the other eye. I put on the Maybelline’s Watershine 3D Collagen Lipstick and wa-la and i’m done:) The lipstick was really smooth when applying. It looks uber shiny with hints of glitters on the main colour. It would work wonders if you put on lip gloss too. Added shine!:)

POLL TIME!

 Loading ...

If  you polled that you have any of that problems with lipsticks, this new Maybelline’s Watershine 3D Collagen Lipstick can solve that problem for you. 

Problem 1: I have dry and visible lip line!!
Solution 1:  Maybelline’s Watershine 3D Collagen Lipstick is made up of pure water and aqua collagen ingredients that will moisturize and make your lips water-soft and it will look so smooth on your lips because of the stuff in it. Your lips will not be dry anymore. 

Problem 2: The lipstick has no shine which makes my lips have no dimension 
Solution 2: In this new lipstick it has bubble-shaped shine molecules which gives off a multi dimensional shine. These micro molecules will help amplify the color of the lipstick and also give it a more natural and in depth look. 

Problem 3: Non-lasting shine
Solution 3:  Does your lip loose its shine after a few hours? Don’t worry about it as this new lipstick has this awesome shine lock and release formula that can reactivate the shine by pressing lips together. So let’s just say your lips don’t look shiny anymore, just rub your lips together and tada, you get a better shine!:) 

Problem 4: Uneven Application
Solution 4:  I always do not like how lipstick is too heavy on the lips because of what it was made of. This lipstick gives me the smooth light feeling because they use natural oils and collagen to make it very easy to put on. 

Okay i got carried away, to answer that question: 

Where to get the lipstick to get that Angelina Jolie pouty lips?

Maybelline’s Watershine 3D Collagen Lipstick retails at RM28.90 at all major pharmacies like Watsons and Guardians. Also available at any departmental stores that carries Maybelline.

adeera

Dear emmagem, I need a suitable cardigan for work! love, karenmarie (lols)

You want it, they’ve got it! Check out these links:) 

What is a cardigan?  
A cardigan is basically a sweater made out of thick material to keep warm. Fabrics include wool, cotton, polyester, rayon, cashmere, Lycra and many more.  

From Wiki:

A cardigan is a type of sweater/jumper that ties, buttons or zips down the front; by contrast, a pullover does not open in front, but forms a solid tube around the torso. The cardigan was named after James Thomas Brudenell, 7th Earl of Cardigan, a British military commander, following his service in the Crimean War. It is usually machine- or hand-knitted from wool or cotton. Cardigans are available for both sexes but are more typically worn by women (e.g., the classic twinset). Cardigans are also popular in twee fashion.

So, if it is short sleeved and thin (material), it is just considered a buttoned down shirt and not cardigan. A lot of people misinterpret what’s a cardi, but i guess no one cares. lols. but then again, I will only feature images of cardi’s that can are sorta long sleeved and can be buttoned or closed. Others will be listed as well, read the links below all the images:) Have fun searching for cardigans that suit you

Restockable- email them to order.

bf shirts caused quite a stir last time, although not many blogshops have it still. i was wondering if anyone knows where to get one under RM50 ? because i see some blogshops selling it for about RM65++ which is pretttyy expensive!

Wye Lum

It seems to be sold out everywhere! Need some help here. . . 

Anyone seen a cheap boyfriend shirt around the online world of shopping?

ps// If you’re looking for cardigans, looks out for a HUGE update tomorrow on where to get cardigans:) Got a question? ASK US! 

Â

I am looking for stores that do online sprees! Online sprees are shops that order in bulks from online stores in US like Forever 21, Victoria’s Secret, etc who will give you free shipping if you buy pass a certain amount! Is there any such store?

Shopping Whore

Here’s a quick reply to this question!

What a Steal has a Benefit and Opi Spree. Check them out:) Shop Reina used to have a Forever 21 Spree. I know that in Lowyat.net’s garage sales, they organizes a few other sprees. Check that out. 

Anyone else knows which shops organizes sprees?

anyone knows where i can get corsets in KL? apart from la senza that is. they don’t fit me too well. and i’ve gone to xixili. preferably corsets that lean towards the goth-y look.

sylv

Do you want a functional corset, or the ones that look pretty? Lols. Because I’m sure any deparmental stores have lingerie departments with brands such as Triumph etc, which carries corsets/girdles which do quite a good job sucking in the tummy

Alternately, you can try these few online shops:

White Strapless Slimming Jacquard RM119 from Yicco

Sexy Lace Corset, RM80 from LingerieHouse

Cheap deal: RM25 corsets from this Ebay seller

Hi…I would like to ask where can i find masquerade masks in K.L area? I need it for my up-coming college prom…and where can I find affordable prom dresses…preferably NOT long ones…

Alvina

Most Costume shops do have masks that are available for rent. Alternately, try going into party supplies shops to buy masks. We know of a new designer of masquerade masks that can hand-make masks to suit your taste. She is Evon T a model and also a mask designer. Her masks are 100% handmade and can be custom made too Price ranges from RM40 - RM60. Contact her through her email if you want more information.

Here are some of her work:

Not your average mask. This one is a white piece with full of texture! (One more image below the cut)

Hello there, do you know where i can get a black tulle skirt ala Victoria Becks in her autobiography? Thank you 

Farah

Victoria Beckham wears a pink super puffed up tulle skirt on her book cover. We can’t seem to find anything online, but we sure found an ebay seller from the US who handmade these tulle skirts and is selling them at about MYR80 and above. I guess you can even make these tulle by sewing the tulle material - DIY like this lady. The materials can be bought from fabric stores like Nagoya or Kamdar, i think

Ebay Seller in the US MT Coffinz Sells them. This is the most similar one cost RM125+ USD$7.50 for shipping to Malaysia

Anyone else knows where to get tulle skirts in Malaysia?

I’m guessing Sg. Wang should have some (2 more pictures behind the cut!) (more…)

UPDATE ON STYLE CONTEST

Just a friendly reminder: You can still send in entries for styleCONTEST! We have extended the deadline so that more of you can join (some has been asking for an extension). So we’re extending it till friday:)

Quick, submit now!:)

Ps/// mofsd will be updated pretty soon. Super sorry for the delay.

There are growing numbers of online shops now with mailing lists. They send their updates to their customers which are fine by anyone who has subscribed to their shop’s mailing list. For those who love updates, it is really a great tool.

What is worrying is that the emails come one after another sometimes a few times in a day. It gets worst when there are a few shops using the same mailing list emails because they just copied the emails from another blog shop’s mailing list. A few people has emailed us asking emmagem if we have sent out their emails to online shops. DISCLAIMER: EMMAGEM DO NOT SHARE ANYONE’S EMAILS FROM OUR SUBSCRIPTION. We like to keep them sacred as they are our readers :D. No, we do not do such things. If there’s any emails coming from us, it will be signed by either me or yetmee and with official emmagem emails like these- karenmarie@emmagem.com/yetmee@emmagem.com/emmagemdotcom at gmail So it is legitimate.

I understand, it gets quite annoying to see your inbox filled with emails from people whom you do not even subscribe to. What’s even worst is that when asked to be removed from the list, they do not reply the person. When you send emails out to people who are not interested, its called SPAMMING. Spamming is unacceptable because it is very annoying, lah! :/

How NOT to spam emails to shopaholics’ inboxes?

1. Only send out emails to your OWN subscribers.
2. DO NOT steal emails from forwarding messages and send your updates to them.
3. Use the BCC Function on emails. So that you do not share your subscriptions’ emails with everyone else to be stolen.
4. ALLOW people to unsubscribe to the mailing list at any time by providing means to do so. Usually people just have to click reply and type “unsubscribe”.
5. DO take out people who unsubscribed to your mailing list.Do not just ignore their emails.
6. Sign your name with your shop’s name to be legitimate.

We hope that ALL blogshops who are sending mailing lists updates abide by these guides to avoid being called spams. You want to have a good impression to your customers!

To everyone being spammed, email the spammers and tell them that you want out, if not the emails will never stop coming.

Send your shop updates/mailing list to karenmarie@emmagem.com!
