Who is Christine Teo?

I was having a lovely lively conversation with a few relatives-in-laws over dinner.

This is why you gotta love the oldies.

"Wahh, you know I getting old already! Skin sagging everywhere. Even got crows feet now ah!"

"Look at you (points at me) wah skin so good, even no eyebags! I think I have to go and do surgery to lift the skin on my face you know! I heard my friend said it costs $4000 oh!"
Other aunty:
"What! Haiyah, $4000 so not worth it la, we are so old already, what for want to look so pretty? If RM3000 or RM4000 is ok to go ahead la,"

"Eh! You know my friend ah, she only use cream to put on her face, no makeup, nothing oh! And her husband shares all her cream and he looks so young. Me ah, I use the one from Kuching, you know Christine Teo? That one the creams sooo good oh! Only cost a few hundred AUD from airport. Christine Teo wah..the BEST! You know or not, Christine Teo! Must follow Christine Teo oh, really very very good oh,"

Huh? Who is this famous Christine Teo? Is she the founder of a new revolutionary anti-ageing skin range? I was trying to picture a middle aged to an older woman but I just couldn't recall anyone except the one from Marie France Bodyline...I think she was an actress? I don't know her name but she's the pettite one who lost weight with some program. Have I been in Australia for too long? Am I so out of touch with things back home? Have I been 'Australianized'?

"And then ah, I also use Kanebo all the time. That one also very good but so much more expensive cost like a few thousand per year for all my facial products!"



And then I realised.

She was talking about CHRISTIAN DIOR.
