Time to Eat


When it comes to food, Taiwan has it all. Dine like royalty without paying a king’s ransom for it. From juicy seasonal fruits, sumptuous traditional Chinese dishes, healthy vegetarian dishes, icy desserts to creative tea drinks, Taiwanese cuisine makes full use of local ingredients and age-old techniques to surprise and satisfy your palate. Don’t forget the world-famous night markets, filled with the enticing aromas of delicious street food and snacks! 


Time to Shop


Taiwan is a shopaholic’s dream come true, with many large shopping centres and chain department stores in all four corners of the island. Shop for anything you want, from high-quality made-in-Taiwan 3C products, to famous highland tea and handmade weavings. For the fashion lover, all kinds of affordable clothing, leather goods and branded products are at your fingertips. In Taiwan, you are sure to find just about everything you want. 


Time to go on Two Wheels 


These days, the LOHAS (Lifestyles of Health and Sustainability) trend is gaining popularity as people begin to be more health and eco-conscious. Taiwan is well-known for its LOHAS practices, and there is no better way to experience it than to travel along the breath-taking coastal highways by bicycle! Immerse yourself in the beauty of nature and appreciate the simple yet wonderful things in life with your loved ones.

Chit-chat session with Jay Menon, Nana Mahazan & Dr Steven Chow, Senior Consultant Dermatologist.

Dr Steven Chow, explains perspiring and body odour are common issues among Malaysians. When perspiration stays on the skin's surface and interacts with bacteria on the body, the bacteria breaks down the perspiration into fatty acids which produces an unpleasant odour. Therefore, good personal hygiene, especially with anti-bacterial body washes can help fight germs and prevent body odour.

i) Dettol Lasting Fresh Body Wash (NEW)

L'Oréal Paris HONOURS MALAYSIAN WOMEN OF WORTH



March is the month of International's Woman Day. There's no better time for L'Oréal Paris Malaysia to honours Malaysian Women of Worth, represented by celebrities Nana Mahazan, Nurita Harith and Tracy Cheong. A Woman of Worth is one who takes care of herself, recognises the values she creates in her own and other people's lives and honours whatever she does and all that she is. 

From left : Nana Mahazan, Nurita Harith and Tracy Cheong.

Nana Mahazan 

Being a mother of two and host, she believe that you shouldn't hide your qualities just because someone thinks you're different. It's the different that makes you even more beautiful. Being an outdoors person, she will protect herself by applying sunblock, taking pride in caring for herself. She think every woman should be comfortable in admitting they love to look good, just like herself. After all, we're worth it! 

Nurita Harith 

Keeping her head high, armed with passion and ambition in everything she do, fashion designer Nurita Harith is proud to be where she is today. All the hard works paid off when she had her first show in the Kuala Lumpur Fashion Week 2006. She believe, she's truly a woman of worth! 

Tracy Cheong 

For model and L'Oréal Paris spokesperson Tracy Cheong, she admits that she never leave home without at least two different shades of lipstick in her bag. She think lip colours have the ability to transform look in second and she could change her image to match her mood with any colour of shade. The Top 5 finalists in the Miss Astro Chinese International Pageant 2010, favourite lip colour is a Taylor Swift-esque bright red, as it makes a huge impact with or without eye makeup on. 


Nana, Nurita and Tracy embody the essence of L'Oréal Paris perfectly with combination of beauty, brains and individuality, and as Malaysian Women of Worth, it's also an acknowledgement to all Malaysians that a woman's worth is so much more than what one perceives or sees. L'oreal Paris Malaysia hope to empower Malaysian women to embrace their individual beauty, to go further in life and to achieve their true potential. 

Everyone have their own Women of Worth that plays a huge role in their lives. Be it your mother, sister cousin or even childhood friend. A true Woman of Worth has a great support system in a best friend who stands by her side no matter what, and this relationship is cherished for a lifetime. 

Tracy's Woman of Worth is Karena Teo, a fellow model and actress. 
Nurita introduce her aunt who is like a mother to her. 
Nana best pals Ira is like a sister that she wished she had, from young. 

Nothing can trump the love affair a woman has with her lipstick. It's an extension of a woman, it's a signature, a kiss, an embrace... With different shades to suits one's personality.

 


To commemorate it's 30th anniversary, L'Oréal Paris Color Riche is showcasing all 22 shades! It's the world's most iconic lipstick, because there is a colour for all women. From shades of various pink, mauve, fuchsia, red, coral and beige tones, each Color Riche shade hugs the lips with vivid colour and nourishes with a blend of plant-based oils. 

I found this gorgeous fuschia shade.

Wanna be empowered? Just pick one Color Riche lipstick as your signature shade today! With tonnes of shades to choose from, even your very own Woman of Worth deserves a color Riche lipstick to show how much you value her.  


L'Oréal Paris invites all Malaysian women to honour the Women of Worth in their lives. Just snap a photo of yourself and your Woman of Worth and share your stories on L'Oréal Paris Malaysia

Make a promise to yourself this year to be a Woman of Worth. Feel empowered. Do something new. Try everything you've always wanted to. And don't forget to appreciate your very own Women of Worth. Tell her that you love her for who she is and recognise her abilities.
