Plus-size it’s the description ~ Kitten is the species ~ Miu is the breed ~ and now marks it’s 3rd year invading the planet call earth. Wait a sec ~ I’m talking about Plussizekitten.com turning 3 this year !!

Tammy @ Miu of Plussizekitten.com invited me over to her wonderful blog birthday bash at Amante Mont Kiara.

I started reading Tammy blog about 2 years back and we first met each other was during InTrend anniversary in 1Utama when I helped her to pick up one gift from a friend in Mid Valley.

So back to the party - we were told to dress in pink and wear slippers. Why? Coz pink is sweet and girly while slippers is because, we are going to have SPA pedicure ~ yoo hoo !!!


The very moment I stepped in to the place it was filled with floating balloons - in PINK & SILVER ~ with dangling ribbons. It was all over the place over hundreds of them. Never once I attended a party so girly and sweet. It’s like a party for Princesses.


Speaking of being a Princess, beside beautiful setting we were also served with the must have English tea. I don’t mean just the drink itself but “tea” as in the full spread of delicacies such as scone, tarts and cupcakes ~

\

Tea served in English style ceramic pots and cups, home made scones with cream & jam, fresh strawberries with cream, cupcake with icing & sugar sprinkles, fruit tarts and the savory sandwich bites. If I’m not ALICE then I must have just entered her wonderland.

Sip, sip, sip and it’s my turn to pamper my “little” ones with Amante’s SPA pedicure. Since it’s a pink party, Tammy picked up a couple of Essie pink polish for us to choose. I grabbed hold of a tone name “Escapades” because it sounded so right ~ Is a pink orangy neon-ish tone and looks super candy like on the toes.


Have you try SPA pedicure? Wonder how it looks like? Well, it started off with soaking you feet in warm water to soften the skin. The manicurist will then removed the cuticles around the nails and apply scrub up to the knee to remove the dead skin cell and whiten the skin. Scrub, scrub, scrub and “splash” - clean and brighter looking legs. A mask is then applied to the leg with a separate mask on sole of the feet to soften and hydrate the skin. Like how we marinate meat, after seasoning we wrap with cling wrap and place it in the steamer (kinda like leg warmer) to cook. Haha but this time is my both of my leg and not the chicken wing ~

A very satisfied session with the SPA pedicure and thanks to Tammy for the invite. I continue on to sip, sip, sip and munch the afternoon away. Before the party ends, each of us Princesses received another surprise. It’s a goodie bag filled with Essie products.

What will be that one item that pretty much save your day when you are on a rush and doesn’t wanna look like you just got your blood drained by a vampire last night?

There you go, a couple of swipes and you are on the go. Recently I’ve gotten this Cyber Color Gemstone series in Pink Sapphire. It’s very pinkish and comes with a combination of both matte and shimmering color.


It doubles up as a all-over highlighter with one of its near pale pink shimmer shade. I suggest to use this 4 shades together as it gives a very natural healthy glow and afraid not that it will be over pinky as all japanese brands have a very sheer finishing.

I found the packaging super interesting as I have never come across a blusher with a slide and latched cover. Once slide open, lift the top cover and it opens up as a mirror. Unveil inside is a little brush which I find it rather handy.


There’s a way to apply this blusher, first swipe from bottom to top and you will get the shimmer over the right cheek bone. Second swipe is top to bottom and you will apply this on left side of your cheek. To get a visible glow, I suggest 3 - 4 swipes on each cheek will be adequate. Super love this blusher and it easily suit both fair or tan skin tone.

5 swipes and looking good ~ japanese blusher is definitely one of the best. Selling for around RM60, its definitely a bargain and satisfy blusher.
It’s been couple of months since MAC launched their Wonder Woman series. Vibrant eye palettes, MSF and colored mascara are some of the products that shout Marvel & comic.

As much as I like LE (limited edition) products, makeup should be super versatile for me. Marquise D just like its shade, it’s one of the more down to earth lipstick in the collection. It gives a peach yet close to nude finishing for the lips and top with a very faint shimmer effect.

Packaging is super comical and toy-ish with a blue & red combination plus a wonder woman “emblem” on it. While MAC relating to vibrant is almost certain, this lipstick is definitely an everyday item.

For people with tanned skin like mine, you may find this shade a little “pale” as the nude effect may disastrously turn you into kinda sick looking. For RM 68 and you have been looking out for nude colors, perhaps this is the answer for you.


Are you having dull & uneven skintone? Tried many products and nothing work?

Then Estee Lauder Latest Idealist Even Skintone Illuminator may be the answer to what you are looking for~

It dramatically reduces redness, acne marks, dark spots, sun spots (freckles) and discolouration on the skin. Leaving your skin noticeably clearer and brighter, vibrant and more even-toned.

A Perfect X Simple Evening with Hada Labo ~

Last year, I had a wonderful lunch with Hada Labo @ Fukuya. It was one of the most well organized event I have ever attended even though the crowd was small.

However this time the party invited over 100 people and yet the event was very well organized.
I must say that I'm impressed.

Lovely entrance ~

Event started of with the traditional drum performance by 2 lovely drummers whom were all the way from Japan.

Another highlight for the event was the launching of their latest TVC and also announcing the winner for their previous campaign on FACEBOOK in search of the faces of Hada Labo.

One of the ladies sharing their experience about the TVC ~ Host of the night Chui Ling

We then move upstairs where the dinner has taken place. There was also a couple of games for use to take part in and stand a chance to win their latest product ~ Hada Labo UV milk and Cleansing oil ~ (it will only be in the market in couple of weeks)

Having fun throwing dice ~

Another thing I would like to mention here was how well the event was organized. Though the planned dining area was a little too small and we kinda trapped in there. But food was well arranged. All attendees was given a colored ribbon in either pink, blue or cream and it was use to arrange each group of attendees to take turn in product purchase.

This is so good ~ one please ~ ^_^

Door gift ~ travel pack includes a makeup remover, cleanser, lotion and hydrating milk ~ Haul of the day ~ Hada Labo anti aging range essences ~

Congratz on this lovely event and looking forward for the next Perfect x Simple evening to come ~
Woo hoo ~ Sephora just had a wonderful beauty bash yesterday at KLCC !

Everyone was super excited when Sephora first came to Malaysia and in just within a few months after their flagship store open its door - they rolled out their second store ~ Sephora KLCC !
Yesterday was Sephora first beauty bash party @ KLCC and they invited Dian as the MC for the day. The party kick started with a cheerful crowd and some dance performance.

Sephora Dancer ~

Couple of highlights for the day was free makeover session by Bare Minerals, Smoky eyes workshop by Sephora, Hair makeover by Sephora, skin analysis by Clinique, product demo by LAB men skincare, and nail art demo by Sephora as well.

Sephora eye palettes & Makeover by Sephora and stand a chance to win RM 300 Sephora Hamper

LAB series product test counter & Bare Minerals makeover counter

There's was also "candy" men giving away sweet treats to all the beautiful ladies in store ~

What an eye "candy" ^_^

I had my makeover at the Bare Minerals counter by make-up artist Kah Mun. First she tested the foundation on my jaw line and picked up the right shade for my skin. (I'm a light shade)

Bare Minerals Started Kit - RM 230++

I address my concern over minerals makeup as I have oily skin and I'm afraid that it will turn cakey or melt away. While I do not seem to be the only person with such concern and there was just the right solution to it.


Bare Minerals Prime Time - It works as a foundation base / prep that controls excessive sebum that causes the skin to shine. It felt like applying a thin layer of gel mask onto my skin but it wasn't sticky at all.

The technique in applying minerals foundation is buffing. Pour some minerals (very little) into the cap, use a brush preferably a big kabuki and tap off the excessive. Apply the foundation on the skin starting from the forehead down to the chin and on the bright of your nose through a series of swirling to ensure even coverage. You may follow by applying a layer of mineral veil to set the foundation in for a long lasting effect. Minerals foundation is very lightweight and it give a light to medium coverage.

So light weight and natural ~

There was also some quiz and lucky draw top win some samples and merchandise from Sephora too. It was such a wonderful event ~
