BURO Beauty Empties Giveaway Week 2: Win up to RM4,500 worth of beauty prizes

Falling in love is human nature. It’s an electric feeling; the most precious commodity. It’s passing glances, yearning touches, growing intimacy, the feeling of gravity shifting—and Tiffany & Co has bottled its essence in their new dual gender fragrance, Tiffany & Love.
Ahead, we had a quick chat with Reed Krakoff, Chief Artistic Officer of Tiffany & Co. on what makes the new fragrance pillar so exclusive, along with his idea of modern love.
1. What brought you to choose Sophie Labbe and Nicolas Beaulieu as the perfumers for Tiffany & Love For Him and Honorine Blanc and Marie Salamagne as the perfumers for Tiffany & Love For Her?
The perfumers for Tiffany & Love for Her and Tiffany & Love for Him are world renowned in the industry for their achievements and luxury fragrances. When ideating the Tiffany & Love fragrances, I had the words intimate, personal, and romantic in my mind.
We collaborated closely with the perfumers to create a fragrance collection for Him and Her that embodies love its many forms—something that represents Tiffany’s core values.
We started with different scents, referencing notes and accords that evoked the spirit of Tiffany & Love, and honours the Tiffany brand. For both fragrances, we wanted something that had a sensuality to it, that was distinctive, and that conjured the energy and electricity between two people.
2. Tell us more about the new Tiffany & Love fragrances.
Tiffany & Love For Her is a light, aromatic feminine floral. It has a freshness and a lightness to it, but also a certain strength.
Tiffany & Love For Him has a light woodiness to it with a subtle brightness. Blue Sequoia is an ingredient in both fragrances, which not only ties them to one another, but also pays homage to the iconic colour, Tiffany Blue.

Tiffany & Love For Her (L) and & Love For Him
3. Why did you decide to introduce a male fragrance, as well as debut your first dual-gender fragrance?
I’ve always had a vision to create a duo fragrance collection for Him and Her, but never found the right opportunity or fit. When I joined Tiffany, a brand known for valuing relationships, commitment, and love, it was obvious that this was a project that perfectly aligned with the brand and its principles.
All Tiffany fragrances are special. The idea behind Tiffany & Love speaks to the inclusiveness and acceptance about love in all its forms that we really believe in at Tiffany. This launch also marks the foray into the men’s category, an important category and audience for the brand.
4. Floral woody scents, such as those in Tiffany & Love For Her, are clear choices when trying to capture the essence of love. The citrus scents of Tiffany & Love For Him seem less conventional—what about citrus do you think evokes the essence of love?
While the core value of Tiffany & Love is romance and connection, it is also an inspiring celebration of love in its many forms. The key note of citrus in Tiffany & Love for Him adds an uplifting brightness to the scent, which is romantic yet earthy.
5. Why did you choose New York City as the backdrop for the advertising campaign? Is there an unconventional romantic quality it has?
The heritage of Tiffany & Co. is deeply rooted in New York City. The city is a cultural hub filled with creativity, culture, romance,  and inclusivity.
For us it was important for us to shoot the campaign with New York as the backdrop as the city represents the values of the Tiffany & Love fragrances. While busy and bustling, there is something special about falling in love in New York, and the campaign has an almost voyeuristic way of representing a couple when they’re in their own world.

6. “Modern love” is very much the theme of Tiffany & Love—what is your interpretation of a modern love at this day and age?
Modern love, for me but also for Tiffany, is when two people choose each other. It doesn’t matter who they are, but they decide they’re meant to be together and believe that they are stronger together than apart.
Modern love is inclusive, it’s optimistic, it’s warm, it’s accepting, and it’s very personal. Modern love is whatever the two people in the relationship decide it should be for them.
At Tiffany we believe in love, in warmth, in inclusivity, in connection and in joy. All those things filter through to both who we cast for the campaign, how we shot it and to the fragrances themselves.

Tiffany & Love For Her EDP retails for RM425 (50ml) and RM583  (90ml); while Tiffany & Love For Him EDT is priced at RM298 (50ml) and RM408 (90ml). Available now at all departmental stores and Sephora Malaysia.

BURO Beauty Empties Giveaway Week 2: Win up to RM4,500 worth of beauty prizes

A minimalist-inspired beauty look dominated the runway on Day 2 of New York Fashion Week, with Givenchy, Jason Wu and Yigal Azrouël spearheading the fresh-faced pack. Makeup artist Yadim went sans foundation and blush at Jason Wu, with transparent mascara and overdrawn red lips as a standout feature.
While a majority of Givenchy’s presentation saw almost-bare faces with bleached eyebrows for a soft yet otherworldly look, the bejeweled face masks by Pat McGrath were stunning works of art, augmenting the luxury house’s couture dresses’ beautiful, ethereal appeal perfectly.

Can exercise prevent breast cancer? Here’s what we know
Work out of it

BURO Beauty Empties Giveaway Week 2: Win up to RM4,500 worth of beauty prizes

You clicked on this story to find out the answer, right? Well, let’s head straight to it. The answer is, however, rather than absolutely preventing it, physical activity is known to reduce the risks of breast cancer—by at least 12 per cent lower for the most active woman who spend more than an hour a day doing vigorous activity.

But don’t be discouraged if you’re not that much of a fitness junkie. The key is to limit the time you spend sitting down and just move. Women who aren’t as active would still see a reduced risk as anything is better than nothing. Researchers in France deduced this after looking at studies involving more than four million women around the world who participated in prospective studies from 1987 to 2013 and found that regardless of age, race, country or even menopausal status, the decrease is the same.

Mathieu Boniol, research director at the Strathclyde Institute for Global Public Health in Lyon, France added that even for women who were overweight or obese could lower their risk by 10 per cent overall.

The connection between exercising and breast cancer risk is still unclear—although, generally, working out is known to lower the risks of many types of illnesses. The only possible link that researchers have (so far) concluded is that physical activity regulates hormones, which includes estrogen and insulin—the two that fuels breast cancer growth if a woman has high levels of these.

While it would be great to start hitting the gym, it’s understandable that it’s not for everyone. The National Breast Cancer Foundation advises as little as three hours of exercise per week—or 30 minutes a day—and as mild of an activity such as power walking just to begin lowering the risk of breast cancer.

Thinking of starting a more active lifestyle? Let us help you get started as we’re giving away three sets of Nike (pink) workout goodies (in size M) worth RM546 each.
You’ll receive an AS DF Cool Breeze Strappy Running Tank, Women’s Gym Club bag, 3-in-1 pack Dri-fit Graphic socks and a Nike Pro Indy Cool Bra.

Couture wedding gowns that will make you feel like a fairytale princess

Just when we thought there’s no way she could beat her OTT costume from the previous year, Heidi ‘Queen of Halloween’ Klum has managed to continuously prove us wrong with jaw-dropping ensembles year after year. A tradition since 2000, the supermodel has spent over 16 years to master the art of Halloween dressing, and from cartoon characters to creepy creatures, you name it, she’s done it. Case in point: ghoulish vampires and witches; lifelike crows and apes; sexy Jessica Rabbit and Betty Boop; and even a human cadaver.
After going down the fairytale route by dressing up as Princess Fiona from Shrek in 2018, she went back to what she knows best last year, showing up as a zombie-fied alien at her annual Halloween extravaganza, while her husband Tom Kaulitz went as a bloody astronaut. With the best makeup artists and prosthetic professionals in town to help her get ready, she took 13 hours to put on her look—if that’s not dedication, we don’t know what is. Check out her Instagram for all the behind-the-scenes videos.

7 Things to do in the Klang Valley this weekend: 15 & 16 July 2023

Are you doing your part to fight and combat the Covid-19 pandemic? With the Recovery Movement Control Order (RMCO) in effect until 31 December 2020, Malaysians are now free to move around (including travelling to other states). Of course, we have to be responsible citizens and abide by the standard of procedures (SOPs).
Unfortunately, it also seems like the novel coronavirus cases have been on the rise, including the emergence of new clusters throughout the country. As of 10 October 2020, there are 15,096 confirmed cases of Covid-19 (with 155 deaths).
While Sabah has the highest number of active cases at the moment (followed by Kedah), these specific spots in KL and PJ have also been affected by the virus—as seen with the statements released by the respective malls.
1. Sunway Pyramid

The mall recently revealed that a staff at one of the stores in Sunway Pyramid tested positive for Covid-19 on 26 September 2020. According to the management team, “the case is an isolated case and has been attended to immediately upon identification, together with the affected tenant in full compliance with the Ministry of Health (MOH) guidelines.”
Moreover, sanitisation, disinfection, and deep cleaning were all carried out and completed throughout the premises—”to address the matter effectively and efficiently.” The team at Sunway Pyramid urges everyone to practise good personal hygiene practices as well as stay vigilant.
2. Nu Sentral

According to the mall’s management team, one of their employees “tested positive for Covid-19 on 26 September 2020.” They added that the “Ministry of Health (MOH) has immediately conducted contact tracing and all close contacts including employees of Nu Sentral’s management office have undergone Covid-19 testing.”
The mall revealed that everyone tested negative with the first test results. Even so, all employees are required to be self-quarantined for 14 days. Nu Sentral was thoroughly sanitised in accordance with the Safety and Health Guidelines issued by the MOH on 26 September 2020.
3. The Linc KL

On 24 September 2020, the mall announced that a parent of a child at a school in The Linc has tested positive for Covid-19. The management said that the “child is on a half-day [programme] until noon and last attended school on 17 September.” They added that they “have taken all necessary preventive measures to contain the risk of exposure.”
Moreover, it was also announced that the school is now allowed to resume operations beginning 25 September and that “all teachers at [the school], who are possibly second-generation contacts of the said parent, have all tested negative for Covid-19.” To ensure the safety and well-being of [their] customers, staff, and tenants, The Linc will continue to implement increased preventive measures.
4. Suria KLCC

According to the Suria KLCC management, a member of a gym in the mall tested positive for Covid-19 on 23 September 2020 and has “since been appropriately isolated.” They also added that “staff and members of [the gym] who had close contact with the affected member have undergone Covid-19 test and were also instructed to self-quarantine at home under the Home Surveillance Order as advised by the Ministry of Health (MOH).” Good news is that the test results were all negative for 24 September and 25 September.
Sanitisation and disinfection exercises were completed immediately and Suria KLCC “continues to take proactive and preventive measures to maintain high levels of cleanliness and hygiene throughout the mall.” You can read more about the gym’s updates here.
5. KL Gateway Mall

Unlike the previous four cases on the list, the individual involved in the suspected case actually tested negative. It was previously announced that the person was in close contact with a Covid-19 patient that just returned from Sabah. As patrons’ safety and well-being are of their utmost priority, the mall will continue carrying out disinfection and cleaning exercises.
6. 1 Utama

The mall management revealed on 5 October 2020 that a staff from one of the stores in 1 Utama has tested positive for Covid-19. Now under the care of a government hospital, the staff hasn’t been in the mall since 30 September. This is the first ever isolated case in 1 Utama since the outbreak.
In response to the incident, the management immediately closed and deep-cleaned the affected store. C0-workes have also been placed under strict quarantine. According to management, they have also conducted “thorough sanitisation of [the] mall including AHU rooms (air handling units), public areas, amenities, lifts, escalators, toilets, baby room, back of house facilities, and all other heavy touch points.”

Closing from 11 October 2020 onwards, the Ministry of Health will be carrying out detailed Covid-19 contact tracing exercise for 1 Utama. “Facilities have been set up for all 1 Utama staff and tenant staff to undergo tests” and “the mall will reopen once test results are received.”
7. Paradigm Mall

A staff at one of the mall’s store has tested positive for Covid-19. After being “contacted and notified by the Ministry of Health (MOH) that his roommate had tested positive for Covid-19”, the staff “applied for medical leave commencing from Saturday, 3 October 2020, to undergo testing himself and did not report to work nor enter the mall since last reporting to work last Friday.”
It was also announced that a thorough sanitsation process was immediately taken and multiple preventive measures and mitigation steps have continuously been practiced.
8. Setia City Mall

On 8 October, the mall management revealed that a member in the mall’s gym “has self-declared as a Covid positive case.” The gym’s team that were on duty “have undergone the Covid test and will observe a 14-day self-quarantine.” Along with frequent disinfection and cleaning procedures, the mall has also commissioned a specialist deep cleaning of the gym.
9 & 10. The Gardens Mall and Mid Valley Megamall

Mid Valley Megamall and The Gardens Mall revealed on 11 October 2020 that an employee from a company that has stores in both malls has tested positive for Covid-19. The staff self-isolated after informing management that family member “was exposed to the virus.”
According to the malls, “she did not exhibit any symptoms of Covid-19” but “arrangements were made for her to take the Covid-19 test.” The positive test result was announced on 11 October 2020. Throughout the entire two malls (as well as the affected stores), sanitisation and disinfection were conducted.
Update (13 October 2020):
The management of The Gardens Mall announced that the said staff “had a false positive result on her Covid-19 test, after undergoing further tests in Sungai Buloh Hospital.” You can read more about the company’s statement here.

It was revealed on 12 October 2020 that a staff in a store in Mid Valley Megamall tested positive for Covid-19. The said staff “has not been at work since clocking out on 8 October 2020.” The outlet is now closed for cleaning and disinfection until further notice.
11. Bangsar Shopping Centre

A staff member at an outlet tested positive for Covid-19 and the mall will be closed temporarily. On duty on 6 October 2020, the staff “was not showing any symptoms” at that time and “has not been in BSC since.”
All staff are “undergoing Covid-19 testing in full compliance with the Ministry of Health (MOH) guidelines” and BSC will close temporarily “to undertake intensive sanitisation throughout the mall.” It will reopen for business on 12 October 2020.
12. 3 Damansara

The mall management revealed on 11 October 2020 that a “security personnel stationed at the mall’s Fire Command Centre has tested positive for Covid-19.” After a household member tested positive, the said employee has not returned to work since 9 October 2020. The mall has increased the frequency of disinfection and cleaning—including “in common areas within the mall and office block.”
Let’s all work together as collective to keep the country safe and free from Covid-19. It might seem like a massive challenge but as long as we all do our parts, we can keep the numbers as low as possible. Make sure to follow all SOPs—such as getting your temperature taken as well as checking in with the MySejahtera or Selangkah apps.
Wear your mask at all times when you’re in public and remember to practise social distancing. Yes, at least one metre apart. In addition, if you’ve travelled to any high risk zones, make sure you self-quarantine for 14 days. Stay safe and keep well, everyone!

New York Fashion Week AW17: Highlights of Day 5
Hello, goodbye

Couture wedding gowns that will make you feel like a fairytale princess

Carolina Herrera‘s love for the white shirt continues as she worked it numerous ways in the Autumn/Winter 2017 collection. From wrapped waist to big pilgrim collar and button-ups with velvet ribbon accents, the wardrobe staple was paired with voluminous black or white skirts. For eveningwear, instead of ball gowns and corseted silhouettes, Herrera presented fluid, demure shapes including a tiered gown in pale pink, sequined tea gown and a lush velvet number with chiffon knotted at the neck.
Each year, since 2002, the Proenza Schouler show is one of the highlights of NYFW. After this season, designers Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough will be saying goodbye to the Big Apple and are headed to Paris, where they will present their pre and main season sellections during Couture week. However, one does not have time to mourn as the designers delivered a terrific Autumn/Winter 2017 collection. The treatment of their logo is sliced horizonally, appearing on extra-long zipper pulls of jackets and even handbags. Cut-outs appear everywhere from the waist to abdomen and shoulder, some even resulting to asymmetrical sleeves (read: one that bares the arm) on boxy outerwear. As unpractical as it sounds, we certainly would not mind the interesting detail. Besides, fashion doesn’t always have to be practical, right?
When interviewed backstage, Phillip Lim commented that he worked on the idea of “new romantics, colour” as well as “making clothes that women want”. Well, the designer has definitely accomplished that. The mostly black and white collection were given splashes of colour, such as Yves Klein blue and shades of pink, and even the show set with red walls and a pink carpet was a scene-stealer. Lim took on femininity by sending pieces like ruffled lace cocktail dresses, off-kilter shaped flute skirts and airy mid-length frocks down the runway. And if the romantic pieces did not make your heart flutter, the statement accessories such as the chain-link belts and organic-looking jewellery will.

If colours are off limits, silhouettes are the way to go. Supersize your look with voluminous shapes that are as statement-making as they are trendy, from puffy shoulders to XL flares. The trick is to keep the rest of your outfit streamlined to enhance your curves.
Smart tailoring

When it comes to dressing up, pantsuits are fail-proof. But instead of a blazer-trousers look, tone down the formal attire by injecting some fun and trendy details into the get-up. For example, look 2’s cowboy hat, look 4 and 7’s biker shorts, and look 5’s tube top—it’s that simple! Alternatively, you can give your dresses that bit more structure with a tailored jacket. After all, it’s all about mix and matching.
Leather up

Different materials come and go, but leather will always have a special place in our heart. You can always count on the fabric to inject some edge into the simplest of outfits, and the ladies above are proof. Pair your leather bottoms with a plain white T-shirt (as seen in look 1 and 4) and you’re good to go. If you’d like to rock the material head-to-toe, go for a fitted silhouette such as a pantsuit in look 5 or a dress in look 7 for a polished finish.
Go midi

Forget the LBDs—we’re reaching new length this holiday season by opting for a longer silhouette to maximise the feminine allure. Regardless of the style, there’s just something about how the midi numbers beautifully sway with the wind that we can’t get enough of. Not to mention, they’re oh-so-comfortable too. Instead of ankle-strap heels, switch things up with a pair of booties—in contrasting hues—for a trendy finish. Look 1 and 4’s layering game is definitely one we’d love to emulate.
Flaunt some skin

There’s no better time to show off some skin than the year-end celebrations, but if you’re not in the mood for flaunting too much, take a style cue from these street style stars for your next night out. Whether it’s a slither of bare décolletage, toned midriff or shoulder blades, choose a body part you’re most confident with and show. It. Off. Dare to bare? The see-through dresses in look 3 and 5 are bold options, and you’ll be turning heads (for all the right reasons), for sure.
Stick to the classics

1/7

3/7

4/7

Do not underestimate the power of prints—when it comes to patterns, the classics are always the best. Polka-dots, for instance, add that slight retro glam to any look, especially in the form of a midi dress. Alternatively, a jumpsuit gives off a more modern vibe. Tip: Avoid looking frumpy with a swath of skin to help break up a print-heavy ensemble. If you’d like to take things further, rock two prints (à la look 3) for that added interest—when it comes to these motifs, any combination goes. We like how look 5 juxtaposed the feminine frock with a pair of chunky sneakers, and the cat-eye sunglasses shading her peepers is a trend we still can’t get enough of.

This is the #BuroBossGirl Starter Pack you need right now

7 Things to do in the Klang Valley this weekend: 15 & 16 July 2023

The digital age comes with many perks but a byproduct of convenience is dependence. As if the multitude of readily available ‘how-to’s and tutorials on every topic under the sun did not suffice, starter packs for human stereotypes seem to have proliferated at an alarming rate.

Just in case memes are not your forte, The Starter Pack Meme is a widely disseminated internet trend of curated notions combined haphazardly on a white background with a title denoting the person it’s made for. Still confused? See examples below:

1/2

2/2

Well, if you are anything like us and have been incredibly inspired by this season’s #BuroBossGirls we have featured here, here, and here, we have a starter pack that is tailor-made for you, literally. Here’s presenting a specially curated #BuroBossGirl starter pack:

What does the #BuroBossGirl need?

A GHD PLATINUM STYLER

A one stroke wonder made with the boss girl in mind—the ghd platinum styler delivers ultimate results with indispensable efficiency for the busy modern woman. Getting the job done quickly does not equate a lack of TLC, however. Ghd’s patented tri-zone technology constantly maintains optimum temperatures to provide safer-for-hair-heat—a product of Cambridge research. Whether you curl, straighten or create tousled waves, here’s a styler that reduces hair breakage, protects hair colour and even increases shine. All in one stroke.

LA MER SKINCARE

From the depths of the sea to the tops of your vanities, La Mer is nothing less than what we’d call a skin saviour. A boss girl needs to always put her best face forward, and healthy nourished skin is key. Prepare cleansed skin for pampering with The Tonic by La Mer which utilises the brand’s famed sea-derived Miracle Broth to detoxify, purify and soothe sensitivities for a radiant canvas. For clear, flawless complexion, turn to La Mer’s Perfecting Treatment. A silky balm—completely customisable to individual skincare needs—can be used as a base or finishing touch to refine tone, texture and translucency. The Soft Focus Filter Technology works to blur out the appearance of pores, fine lines, and imperfections.

The Moisturising Soft Cream is a revolutionary riff to the original Crème de La Mer. The same benefits are folded into a soft, luxuriously rich, yet weightless formula that penetrates deeply to replenish moisture and strengthen skin. Beautifully moisturised skin, check? Time to resculpt, shape and define. The brand’s Lifting Contour Serum gives skin on the face and neck a tighter feel from the first touch. Skin’s natural collagen is boosted for dramatic enhancements on skin density and dimension for youthful definition.

THE NESPRESSO INISSIA AND TRAVEL MUG

Now that you look the part, you need to feel the part. Fuel your day with Grand Cru coffee of the highest quality from Nespresso. Selected strictly from the best crops and diversified for 24 distinct aroma profiles to choose from, Nespresso’s aluminium capsules hold the key to a brilliant kick-start to every Boss Girl’s morning. Pop one into Nespresso’s latest machine, the Nespresso Inissia, to create your perfect cup of joe. Pressed for time and can’t squeeze in a leisurely sip? The Touch Travel Mug makes for a convenient grab-and-go and is pretty sleek to boot.

***

Because we can, we have one-upped all other memes out there. Our starter pack is becoming a reality and with it, you could be well on your way to becoming a bona fide #BuroBossGirl.

25 SS18 Wedding-worthy looks for the unconventional bride

Couture wedding gowns that will make you feel like a fairytale princess

Many women dream of the day where they find the dress that they envisioned since young for their wedding; while most ladies tend to stick to the traditional route, nowadays, there are more brides-to-be that are opting for more unexpected selections to celebrate their individuality. The recent Spring/Summer 2018 Fashion Month saw a series of bold yet stylish alternatives that don’t steer too far from the traditions—perfect if you’re looking at experimenting in a dress-to-remember.

Balmain and Chanel sent down a series of LWDs that allow you to move freely and dance the night away, but if dresses are not your thing, try rocking a strong (and sexy) pantsuit à la Tom Ford, or a deep V-neck jumpsuit by Zimmerman that exudes just that bit of a rock ‘n’ roll vibe. Alternatively, work with colours such as the girlie blush shade seen from Off-White’s runway, or take cue from Miu Miu by adding just that hint of strong hue to your look. Our recommendation? Take on one of SS18’s top trends—ruffles, that beautifully cascade down the gowns. Go for a lightweight chiffon or tulle material to maximise the femininity.

#CNY2017: Dresses with pockets that will come in handy
Stuff 'em red packets

Couture wedding gowns that will make you feel like a fairytale princess

We’re two weeks away from ushering in the Lunar New Year, and before you know it, it’s time to welcome an endless bout of yee sang tossing and family gatherings. One of the ubiquitous customs performed during Chinese New Year is the exchanging of red packets—for those on the receiving end, it’s likely that you’ll need to come with pockets to stuff away your new year tokens. If you’re armed with a clutch and refuse to squeeze thick wads of packets in, what better way to dress up to the festive occasion than with frocks fitted with pockets?

It’s difficult to resist dresses that have side slip/front/any sort of pockets to casually stuff your hands in—let’s be real, the excitement upon discovering pockets on that dress you’re trying on in a fitting room is akin to scoring a good deal on your dream shoes. We can wax lyrical all day long, but the gist of today’s shopping guide is: A dress with pockets is what you need for the upcoming festive period—and to complete your OOTD, of course. Below, shop 10 of our favourite picks to prep you for CNY:

5 Questions you may be too embarrassed to ask about your boobs, answered

12.10.2021
By Redzhanna Jazmin

All the new facials you need to try for better, brighter skin this 2023

From the reason your boobs are leaking to why you actually do need a bra, we’ve left no mildly-embarrassing breast health-related question unanswered

Let’s face it: Not everyone is as in-tune with their bodies as Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion. While we can all appreciate their raw magnetism and candour in ‘WAP’, some girls are just more demure when it comes to the taboo than others.
It can, however, be a bit double-edged; there’s being private about your body, and then there’s being too embarrassed to clear your head of your worries. Maybe you spend hours agonising over whether your nipples are weird or not. Perhaps your boobs are leaking and you’re too shy to talk about it—so, you Google it instead, but now you think you’re dying. Or, maybe, your boobs are looking a little lopsided and you’re just feeling a bit defeated.
The good news is you don’t have to suffer in silence anymore, nor do you have to swallow your pride and speak up. All the answers you need are right here:
Are my boobs weird-looking?

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Penny Embroidery | Beth Evans (@penny_embroidery)

The simple answer to this is no, probably not. Boobs come in all different shapes and sizes, and there’s no ‘right’ or ‘normal’ way for them to look. There are a few different general shapes your boobs may be, including tear-dropped, side-set, round, conical, and more. In fact, they may be a blend of multiple types, depending on your unique anatomy.
They might even differ in look between boobs. It’s called breast asymmetry, and it’s really common. Fun fact: Boobs can be uneven by up to a cup size. So, if you’re hanging differently on either side, rest assured there is nothing wrong with you.
It’s not abnormal for your breasts to suddenly change size, either. There are a lot of reasons this may happen, including birth control, weight fluctuations and menopause. As long as you’re doing regular breast checks and nothing looks sinister, then chances are you’re good to go (refer to our guide if you need the textbook definitions of ‘weird’).
Why are my nipples hairy?

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Jenny Wagner (@littletopanga)

Worried about the hair on your nipples? A few strays here and there are pretty normal too. Leave ‘em, pluck ‘em—it’s up to you. The only cause for concern is if you happen to have a lot of hair on your nipples. If the hair is especially dark, coarse and thick, it may be a sign of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). In this case, you should see a doctor.

Why do I have bumps on my nipples?

Newsflash: Those are normal too! These are actually sebaceous glands (officially called Montgomery glands) and they exist to lubricate the skin. Don’t try to pop them or squeeze them as they are not pimples.
If you do have pimples on your breasts, believe us when we say no one is judging. Chestne is real, and your boobs are not exempt from the perils of body acne. If you need some advice on clearing up your skin, we have you covered below!

Are my boobs saggy? Why are they sagging?

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by ROAR Pleasure Shop (@this.is.roar)

Like we said, boobs come in all shapes and sizes and there is no ‘right’ way for your boobs to look. That said, the premature sagging of the breasts can cause some self-image and aesthetic issues in a lot of women.
We spoke to Dr Mohd Ruslan Johan, the consultant plastic and cosmetic surgeon at H-II Clinic, to get a little more insight into the issue. As for whether you actually have saggy boobs or not? You can actually measure it: “The nipple, or the NAC (nipple areolar complex) should be above the lower margin of the breast.”
This basically means that your nipple should be anywhere above your underboob—the “lower margin of the breast” is defined as the point where your breast connects with your chest.
READ: How to take good care of your intimates
But why do our boobs sag in the first place? Is it a guarantee that they will? Dr Johan explains that ligaments and skin is what supports the weight of your boobs, and your boobs can be heavy. Over time, the weight of the breast causes the ligaments and skin to stretch, leading to sagging.
But that’s not all! Other factors can contribute to drooping without adequate support such as “during pregnancy, where the breasts grow bigger”, and “during exercise, where the breast experiences a lot of movement”.

A post shared by Gigi Hadid (@gigihadid)

At this point, you can opt for a breast lift (possibly with a breast augmentation) to restore the perkiness to your chest. However, even after you do that, you’re back to square one, where the weight of your breast (now possibly increased by implants) will eventually succumb to gravity. So how do you solve this little conundrum?

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Laura Jade Stone (@laurajadestone)

Dr Johan’s advice is to wear a bra. A good, fully supportive bra is the best preventative measure you could possibly take against sagging. It isn’t as simple as that, however—the design of your bra matters too.
What you’re looking for is a bra that can evenly distribute the weight of your breasts across the straps, the cups and the waistband. Also, you’ll want to steer clear of underwires while you’re at it (surprisingly). Dr Johan says that “[underwires] are not good for big breasts as it causes pressure on a particular part of the breast rather than distributing the pressure evenly.”
You don’t have to wear a bra all the time, though—just when your breasts need that extra bit of support. As for you ladies with smaller boobs; they’ll serve you well in the long run. Less weight ultimately means less sagging, so you’re one of the lucky ones!
Why are my boobs leaking?

There are a lot of reasons this could be happening, and most of them are innocuous. For example, if you are pregnant or you’ve just given birth, chances are that you’re, well, breastfeeding. If that isn’t the case, it’s not unheard of for your nipples to secrete fluids when stimulated and squeezed, either during sex or while you sleep. Further, hormonal changes from birth control (and possibly an overactive pituitary gland) could be behind your leaky nips, too. Alternatively, your nipples may just be chafed from your sports bra!
Of course, there are some more sinister causes of nipple discharge, including a minor breast infection, thyroid issues and breast cancer. However, it should be noted that these are more rare and are usually associated with other symptoms.
Unfortunately, the colour of your discharge isn’t a very good indicator of whether your nipple discharge is normal or not. Nipple discharge resulting from both abnormal and normal circumstances can be clear, white, green or yellow. However, the general idea is that if you’re only seeing discharge from one breast without any stimulation, it tends to be a bad sign. Further, bloody discharge is always an indicator that something is awry.
Basically, leaky boobs are uncommon, but not necessarily abnormal. Either way, there is no harm in seeing a doctor if you are concerned about it.

Enfin by James Won debuts a new lunch menu you’ll appreciate
Fresh off the boats

Review: Sky35 KL presents an omakase experience plated on Hermès finery

Fans of James Won’s thoughtful, finely detailed cuisine will be delighted to hear of Enfin by James Won’s new lunch menu, which showcases exquisitely cooked local and imported seafood. “I want to share my passion for using the bounty of our local farmers and fishermen with more Malaysians,” Won explains. “My team and I have been curating this menu over the last two months to bring together affordable, high-quality imported seafood and fresh catches selected daily from the market. You’ll taste traditional French cooking techniques centre-staging local ingredients.”

Ideal as a satisfying executive lunch or a luxurious afternoon treat, Won puts his own cleverly constructed spin on European favourites, such as a fragrant Fisherman’s stew laced with house-fermented rice wine and koji. His take on prawn cocktail—a salad of prawns, heirloom tomatoes, crisp beetroot, Romaine lettuce and herbs—is a jewel-like assortment of vegetables grown at his Cameron Highlands farm, which tastes all the better for it. Look out, too, for his light, crisply-battered fish with hand-cut, skin-on fries, and a divinely aromatic char-broiled king crab leg drenched in lemon, butter, and garlic. (“Everything tastes better when it’s char-broiled,” Won says knowingly.)

Enfin’s expanded a la carte lunch menu features four entrées, 14 plats principaux, and four desserts, with highlights including line-caught North Sea white cod and whole tail lobster. A selection of eight fresh fish and seafood mains allows diners the option of having them pan-seared, poached, steamed, fried in batter, or chargrilled, with a choice of four fresh sauces (we recommend the wasabi mayonnaise). A three-course degustation lunch menu (RM 128 per person) will also be available from the beginning of August, with an optional wine or champagne pairing (RM 89).

Taking the new Mini Cabrio and Mini Clubman to the roads of Bali
A Mini adventure

24.10.2016

7 Things to do in the Klang Valley this weekend: 15 & 16 July 2023

I’ve never had the opportunity to sit in a Mini, much less drive one. So when an invitation to take part in the Mini Adventure 2016 came along, I obviously had to say yes – especially since it’s in Bali. Two main reasons for the three-day adventure: the new Mini Cabrio and Mini Clubman, and the exotic island served as the perfect backdrop to put the vehicles to the test as well as enjoy Mini’s signature go-kart feeling.

Consider the Mini Cabrio an even better upgrade of the first edition. It’s still a premium convertible in the small car segment but with optimised quality in sportiness, comfort, efficiency, functionality, safety, materials and workmanship. Like the classic Mini Cooper, it sports a timeless design matched with an undeniable speed and power, all packed in a fun-sized car. As we kicked off the trip in a six-car convoy with police escort (#achievementunlocked) for a two-hour drive, it’s evident that its improved size and comfort holds true – for two people at least. While the Mini Cabrio is a four-seater, I wouldn’t say it’s ideal for three passengers and above (unless they’re children or you’re willing to compromise leg space in the front).

A photo posted by Rachel Au (@currynana) on Sep 25, 2016 at 3:01am PDT

Our first stop is Secret Garden Village, which is north and out of the city, pass paddy fields and farmhouses and up the hill – a setting that easily called for open-top driving as we cruised along the roads. It was such a joy to manoeuvre the Mini Cabrio, even as we went up/downhill and around sharp turns. The real challenge I had was driving downhill with an almost never-ending amount of curved roads. It was a test for the Mini Cabrio and one where it effortlessly passed with flying colours thanks to several built-in safety features such as Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), Electronic braking force distribution and cornering brake control as well as Mini’s suspension technology.

They weren’t kidding when they called it a Mini Adventure as it was way past dinnertime when we finally arrived at our stay for the night: Naya Gawana Resort and Spa. Nestled by a secluded bay and located at the tip of a monsoon forest, it’s a great place to disconnect and rejuvenate.

A photo posted by Buro 24/7 Malaysia (@buro247malaysia) on Sep 25, 2016 at 6:47pm PDT

We started Day 2’s adventure pretty early and this time, we opted for the soft top to be down again and as the roads leading out of the resort were pretty empty, it was a good chance to give the engine a slight throttle and it felt so good since we couldn’t go above 60 km/h most of the time due to the narrow and busy roads. Also, it was me and my driving partner’s turn to test the Mini S Cabrio, the sportier engine variant of the Mini Cabrio which did have a little more boost to it.

On the other hand, I’m more impressed with the Green driving mode (there’s also Comfort and Sport) which was programmed to be a fish game to match the fun concept of a Mini. Each mode will adjust the car’s settings but if you’re not too big on the technicalities, just know that you need to keep the fish happy while in Green mode (and that depends on how you accelerate and brake).

Just before we arrive at our stop, the upcoming Njana Tilem Museum, the afternoon sun was out and that means it was time to put the roof back up. Fun fact: It only takes less than 20 seconds to either put the top up or down, even when you’re driving (but only at 30km/h and below). Alternatively, we decided to only close it halfway so that it acts as a sunroof instead to let in the breeze.

Lunch was at Manisan, newly opened and located in a rice field in Ubud, the place gets an instant thumbs up just from its sheer ambiance. Luckily, this first positive impression was maintained as the food – traditional Indonesian dishes where the recipes of the menu are presided by culinary legend, William Wongso – was equally well-liked.

Before heading to our hotel – Katamama in Seminyak, which I’ll be returning to for sure should I ever find my way back to Bali – it was time for another car swap and this time, it was the Mini Clubman’s turn. Now this is a car I would love to drive every day in KL. The four-door five-seater is appropriately spacious for all five potential passengers, comfortable, powerful, and still so classy. Many tourists on the streets of Seminyak were snapping photos of the Mini convoy as we drove past and that is sheer proof of how much of an icon a Mini is. All in all, I’d say Mini continues to excite, impress and satisfy its fans, and both the Mini Cabrio and Mini Clubman are no exceptions.

How to nail the Barbiecore look (and everything you’ll need to do it)

Makeup is no easy work. You could spend years experimenting with different products and looks, watch countless makeup tutorial videos, ask all of your friends for tips and tricks, and you could still be completely clueless when you’re trying out a look you don’t usually do—and the frustration of not getting it right after numerous attempts only makes you want to rip your hair out and give up entirely.
That aside, a look can take a lot of time to complete—which is particularly inconvenient when you have to be up early for work or you’re rushing for an event, leaving you with no choice but to settle for your simple everyday look.
The thing is that glamming up doesn’t always have to be extremely time-consuming or difficult, even for bold looks. If you look in the right places for inspiration, there are oodles of head-turning looks that anyone can try their hands at (and nail!) with no sweat. If you’re looking for such inspiration, you’ll be delighted to learn that you’ve come to the right place!

Even the leather strap is coated with 24-carat gold—go gold or go home indeed.

WHITE GOLD WONDERS
For him: A. Lange & Söhne Triple Split

A technical feat in watchmaking, the A. Lange & Söhne Triple Split is the world’s first mechanical split-seconds chronograph that is capable of multi-hour comparative measurements, allowing you to measure and compare the time of two concurrent events for up to 12 hours. The grand complication is housed in an 18-carat white gold case with a 43.2mm diameter, making it an elegant yet statement timepiece.

For her: Audemars Piguet Frosted Gold Royal Oak Double Balance Wheel Openworked

Just when we thought the Audemars Piguet Frosted Gold Royal Oak is as stunning as it gets, this year it gets equipped with a movement that is just as extraordinary:  a hand-finished, openworked double balance wheel mechanism that is as eye-catching as it is remarkable. A ladies timepiece that is both beautiful and technically impressive, it’s easy to see why it snagged a place on our podium.

ROSE GOLD GRANDEUR
For him: Piaget Altiplano Ultimate Automatic 910P

One of the thinnest automatic watch in the world, the Piaget Altiplano Ultimate Automatic 910P measures a mere 4.3mm thin. This was made possible by combining the movement with the caseback. A masterpiece of refined elegance and bold character, the ultra-thin movement is backed by a power reserve of 50 hours.

For her: Rolex Rainbow Daytona
For the maximalist who loves her sparkles, behold the Rolex Rainbow Daytona in 18-carat Everose gold, one of the most dazzling pieces that made its debut at Baselworld 2018. The robust Oyster case is juxtaposed with a bezel set with 36 baguette-cut sapphires in a rainbow gradation. A further 56 brilliant-cut diamonds adorn the middle case.

TRI-GOLD BECAUSE... WHY NOT?
Bulgari Serpenti Tubogas
Finding it difficult to settle on a gold hue? Get the best of all three worlds with the unique Serpenti Tubogas, where the 18-carat gold in yellow, rose and white come together in one brilliant timepiece. The double tour Tubogas bracelet is lead by a rose gold case topped by a bezel set with brilliant-cut diamonds and a cabochon-cut rubellite on the crown.

7 Things to do in the Klang Valley this weekend: 15 & 16 July 2023

The highly anticipated fashion retrospective by the House of Dior, titled ‘Christian Dior, Couturier du Rêve’ (Designer of Dreams) at the Musée des Arts décoratifs has finally opened its doors earlier this month. Held in conjunction with Dior’s 70th anniversary, the exhibition showcases the stunning legacy of the couture house, spanning 70 years of masterpieces and creations by Christian Dior as well as the designers who succeeded the creative helm.

Taking centre stage in one of the galleries is the Bar suit, positioned in front of a replica of the legendary façade of 30 Avenue Montaigne. There is also a dedicated section to the iconic Miss Dior and other fragrances under the house – Christian Dior did fancy himself a perfumer as much as a designer after all.

Below, a selection of images from the extraordinary retrospective:
