Product Review: Woopz at the Beach

By Wei Ni (Guest Blogger)

Woopz is not quite the sound you would like to make when you’re wearing a teeny tiny uber sexy bikini at the beach, think big ass wave coming your way and suddenly ‘Woopz, bikini top slipped down!’. That minor incident aside, Woopz is actually the name of the latest blogshop around town specialising in, you guessed it… bikinis!



If you’re wondering how they came up with the name Woopz Bikinis, it is because the two owners of this particular blogshop are fun-loving girls who absolutely LOVE the beach and who happen to be butterfingers as well and they kept going Woopz whenever something happens. Now you gotta wonder, have they had the bikini top fallen down due to a wild wave.

As a person who loves the beach and loves to tan and loves bikinis, I was most excited when I got a chance to review one of their bikinis! As a person who is totally indecisive and has already more than 5 bikinis, I decided to get my sister to help me pick out a bikini for this review. The one I picked, this totally cute Angel White Dotted Bandeau Bikini!

Tadah! What’d ya guys think? Totally cute no? I love the fact that the string around the bust can be removed, so if you don’t want no halter neck tan lines, you can remove it and voila! Tan in peace! :)

This is how your bikinis will be arriving by the way.

In an adorable square box!
Please ignore the wet spots on the box, it was raining when I went to collect my parcel.

And when you open up the box, your bikini is neatly wrapped in paper and tied with a ribbon!

Close up photos of the bikini. The bikini bottom has a string at the side, making it flexible for all sizes. Loosen it if you’ve got J.Lo’s sexy hips or tighten it if you’ve got teeny tiny petite hips.

Front of bikini, the string is knotted at the back but removable. Wasn’t too keen on the clasp back mechanism, I much prefer a tie back bikini, as I am always paranoid over the fact that the clasp back won’t be tight enough and it’ll slip down! But no worries, putting this one on, it felt totally secure! Muchos pleased I am. :)

Sadly, I cannot tell you whether it will hold up against a giant wave or not as I sadly do not have the chance to visit a gorgeous beach with mad waves anytime soon. :(

Removable pads, which I totally plan to remove because they always make my boobs look weird!

What with it being rainy the past few weeks, I have not quite gotten a chance to wear this bikini out yet. But lo and behold, one fine Saturday the sun decided to shine and I headed over to my friend’s pool and took a nice swim in this itsy bitsy teeny weeny white polka dot bikini!

Being the lazy sort of person that I am, I didn’t spend too much time swimming. In fact, I mostly just waded around the pool and spent the rest of the time lying on a pool chair getting a nice tan in my pretty new bikini! The only problem I have is that I am totally useless at clasping on the back of the bikini, so should I want to tan my back, clasping and unclasping might be a tad tricky. Though, I must admit that I am rather pleased with the quality of the bikini, it felt comfortable and sturdy. Definitely could last you quite awhile should you choose to wear it regularly. But why stick to just one bikini when you can have a plethora of them to choose from!

Below are a few of my favourite bikinis from Woopz Bikinis!

I just cannot resist the bright colours! Hot pink! Bright cerulean blue! And deep dark chocolate! The best part about bikinis is that you can mix and match the top and bottom! So if I am feeling particularly colourful that day, I’d wear a pink top with a blue bottom or vice versa, if I feel like a pop of colour but not too much, pink & chocolate is always a fun combo!

As we all know, I am mad about prints. So if there’s a chance for me to get sailor stripes for the beach, all the better! Sun, sea, sand & sailor I say!

Yes, again with the stripes. Personally, bandeau tops are my favourite because they are the ones that give you the least tan lines, and when shown a bikini that is oh-so-bright and colourful! How to resist! It’s too cute! Love the colour combination!

Orange! Polka dots! I love this bikini! I love the fact that the top is reversible so you can choose to wear it either polka dotted or plain orange, personally am loving the bright orange!

The little belt at the bottom totally reminds me of Halle Berry in James Bond. The orange! The belt! I love it! Now all we need is Halle’s body to match. Aih.

So what are you waiting for? Head on over to Woopz Bikini to get yourself a brand spanking new bikini to bring yourself one step closer to Halle Berry-dom. If you’re a mad Facebook person like I am, don’t forget to Like them here as well! And if you tweet tweet tweet like the birds in the sky, they Tweet too!

Product Review: How To Be Bootylicious

By Mechell Lee (Guest Blogger)

Product: Magic Butt

From: Supermodel's Secrets

Hello, shopping kaki! :D

Now, Supermodel's Secrets and its owner, Michelle, are no stranger to our online community thanks to all the amazing products she's been bringing in and her friendly attitude towards everyone ;) and sometimes when I go through their website, I feel a loud voice screaming inside for me to buy, buy, buy! 

But no doubt, sometimes when a product sounds too good to be true, like the Squeem magical lingerie (I WANT I NEED to get one of those!) and the push up padded butt panty, a product review is called for! :D So here's me giving the magic butt a try! 

I apologize for the lousy color in this picture, was using my phone to take it but didn't realize there was a vignette effect. :/

Anyhow, check out the box! I believe it's custom made just for Supermodel's Secrets. I normally wouldn't use this word, but there's only one word to describe this - so CHIO! *flips hair* Haha. Pardon my bimbo moment. It was delightful opening the post laju package to see this super sweet pink box. The behind of the box (sorry, no picture) shows another before-after picture as well as some elaboration about the material, features of the product etc. 

Actual product as shown above. It's actually nude color (once again blame the camera effect) and the quality is pretty good, quite impressive. The pads are sewn in equally on both sides and the seams are very neat. It's not as stretchable as I thought though, so most important thing before making your purchase would be to pick the correct size.

Supermodel's Secrets currently have them in nude and black color, in sizes S (for waist/ jeans size 25-27") and M (for waist/ jeans size 28-30"). I took mine in S size since my waist measurements are around 25.5", but I didn't take into account my hips were around 35" so... unfortunately it was quite tight on me. Still, after wearing it for a bit, it gets more comfortable every time. I don't have the M size for comparison but this is just something you may want to take note of :)

Pics below modelled WITHOUT the magic butt :)

Pics below WITH the magic butt. :)

My sister said there wasn't much of a difference because my ass is already huge *grrr* BUT I think there is a slight difference even if it's not a drastic one. The skirt looks visibly tighter on me with the magic butt, and the dress picture shows more curve at the bottom with the magic butt on. I reckon that petite girls like Michelle, and boyish figures will benefit most from this product. As for curvy babes, the results will probably not be as impressive for obvious reasons ;)

Besides the slight push up, I liked that the padded panty was comfortable as well. It's like having a built in cushion everywhere you go! Hahaha. My sister was quite taken with the product as well and she cracked jokes like "you gotta wear it if someone wants to spank you, it won't hurt you a single bit!"  and she's right, you probably won't really feel it ;D

2 final pictures to show that the magic butt works its magic on your curves, but does not make you any  bulkier from the front view, which is great right! Give the crowd a happy sight once they catch a side profile view of you ;)

If anything else, one good reason to own this magic butt before it's sold out at Supermodel's Secrets would be its push up function. I'm sure it works the same for saggy butts, so I'm definitely saving mine for special occasions! ;)

Check out Supermodel's Secrets for loads of products to enhance your natural beauty! *winks*

Seventeen Origins

There are so many people in the world with so many different tastes, that we can say for sure that not everybody wants the same thing. But that just got me thinking, there's gotta be one thing that everyone wants to be...

And I think that is to be original. This is where online stores like Seventeen Origins come in! :D How often can we find tailor-made designs for under RM100 these days?

Seventeen Origins

What I love about their style is that it's very original - each piece is carefully tailored and different from mass-market products! :) A kind of high street fashion meets vintage detailing is what Seventeen Origins is about!

The Story

"I was looking for some particular garments but just couldn't find anything I like. I was really in dismay especially when this maxi skirt trend became a hit last year but the maxi I found were either too short or too long! Or when the dark turquoise was a big trend after Avatar was released, but garments in this gorgeous colour were nowhere to be found.

So I was thinking why don't I design and make my own garments?! So I have a friend studying textile design so I approached her, voiced out my ideas, after long preparation (she was and is still a student now), and finally our first piece of original design item was here last year somewhere in late November!

Of course, I seized the chance to own clothes that I've been dreaming of having them! To date we have 11 co-design items and there are more to come! We want to present to customers a really unique piece that's why we don't rush in releasing new design. :)"

Here is a peek at my favourite pieces from the store - some are original designs by Seventeen Origins and others are handpicked pieces from suppliers, all available at Seventeen Origins!

High-waisted A-line miniskirts!


Blouses and rompers


Blazers and playsuits

Blouses and the most gorgeous maxi skirts everrrrrrr

Seriously, these maxi skirts are to die for!

I'm a bit tired of bumping into people wearing the same clothes as me... I'm sure some of you feel the same way too :D So Seventeen Origins are one of the few stores with limited edition items, we shall support them! :)

Grab an original piece from Seventeen Origins today! :)
