Then there's the Paper Doll Fun. 

Kiki Lala was my go-to 'designer' clothes brand back then hehe

Vintage Stationery House. 

This brings back so many school memories. I used to have a myriad of Hello Kitty stationery.

Drawing Classroom. 

 In this classroom, there are videos showing how Sanrio characters are drawn step by step. You can learn how to draw your favourite Sanrio character.

 

 Then you come to Sanrio village, a classical design of Sanrio Train, which imitated Sanrio Gift Gate of Gotanda, Tokyo in 1970s.

As Sanrio holds its first exhibition in Malaysia, it is a must to feature the cultural diversity of Malaysia as a setting. Here's a replica of our famous Central Market =)

I was a very happy child in the exhibition HAHAHA. Probably happier than the actual children in there hehe

Halloween party with Carlsberg and Potboy groceries

How was your Halloween? This is actually my very first Halloween that I dressed up and went for a full fledge Halloween party haha. Thanks to Potboy Groceries and Carlsberg Malaysia, they have thrown quite a party for us at Carlsberg HQ Shah Alam #probablythebestbrewery

If you don't know, Potboy Groceries is a home grown online retailer based in the Klang Valley. They aim to provide groceries and household essentials with FREE Delivery, at Value for Money Prices and Without any Minimum Purchase. 

I was driving looking like this and I was scared if I got stopped by a police HAHAH 

At the lounge, Carlsberg was so generous in treating us to free flow beverages.

And not forgetting the highlight of the night was this huge roasted pork. Super yummyyy!! Goes well with the alcohol haha

We had fun partying and drinking Carlsberg beverages and my favourite was Somersby. Had a few bottle of Somersby that night hehe

The full range of Carlsberg beverages can now be bought online from Potboy Groceries. 

Althea Milk Peel Cream Mask

Is your skin feeling dehydrated? Pump up the hydration with the refreshing peeling powers of Althea's Milk Peel Cream Mask! 

Just like when we were young, we need to be fed milk to keep us healthy and growing. Now, our skin also needs milk to moisturise our skin and keep it glowing. This gentle peeling mask contains milk protein for a refreshed complexion.

The packaging looks really simple and pure.

Key ingredients include:

a) Milk protein extract - Moisturizes and strengthens the skin

b) AHA & BHA - Gently exfoliates away dead skin cells for a smooth complexion

c) Kaolin - Detoxifies and pulls out impurities from the pores

The result is a radiantly smooth, healthy skin that's bouncy to the touch!

Suitable for:

Combination Skin Types

Enlarged Pores

Rough, sensitive skin that needs gentle exfoliation

Dry skin that needs to stay moisturized even after peeling

It is formulated with AHA & BHA. But what exactly do they do?

AHA removes dead skin cells on the surface of the skin while BHA removes impurities and declogs the pores. In combination, they act to remove external impurities in pores as well as on the skin surface.

It comes with a pump for easy usage.

It is a self-bubbling clay texture which creates a dense lather to remove dead skin cells.

2-3 pumps

It starts off with a clay texture that transforms to...

...a whipped cream bubbly lather

Dampen the skin and apply an even layer onto the skin, massaging till a rich lather forms. Leave on for 30-60 seconds before rinsing away with warm water.

After 1 minute, I could feel the bubbles starting to form larger and pops and you can hear the popping sound all over hehe. It's quite fun to use a bubble mask.

The thing about other bubble masks are that, they transform into bubbles immediately when in contact with skin. I quite dislike that because I have not finished slathering on the mask and they have already bubbled up and if I coat it on, it will pop the previous bubble layers if you know what I mean. However, the benefit about this Althea Milk Peel Cream mask is that it is a clay texture first so that it does not transform so fast into bubbles and I can still evenly spread it on my skin and thereafter it turn into bubbles =)

It definitely removes dead skin cells, clogged sebum and impurities from the air WITHOUT irritating the skin. Skin feels really moisturized and refreshed with casein that’s packed with vitamins for a healthy complexion.

Since it's a peeling mask, I try to limit the usage to 1-2 times a week in the evening. I find it especially great that after working hours with an oily face of makeup, this peeling mask strips away my makeup effectively without any drying consequences. After washing off, skin feels refreshed!

The Milk Peel Cream Mask is now available on Althea.kr and for a limited time with free shipping!

Largest Hello Kitty And Sanrio exhibition in Kuala Lumpur

If you don't know, I am a very HUGE fan of Hello Kitty! It's my favourite childhood character of all times =) Ever since young, I don't know why but I am drawn to this cute cat character. My family would buy me Hello Kitty merchandises and for the longest time I had a Hello Kitty doll on my bed (a gift from my auntie) until I shifted house.

Knowing that Hello Kitty and her friends are coming to Malaysia, can you imagine how excited I am!! *squealsss* So it will not only be Hello Kitty but also other cute characters from Sanrio.

 My excitement when I met my childhood fantasy!

First, the most delighting part is ‘Sanrio Village” whereby 100 selected characters will team up at the exhibition in Kuala Lumpur for the first time. Some characters will take a ride on the Sanrio train which is made to imitate Sanrio Gift Gate of Gotanda, Tokyo in 1970s.

The W7 makeup products are made available exclusively at selected Guardian pharmacies nationwide.

Was playing around with some of the W7 products and I realised their products are of good quality with such reasonable and affordable price tags.

Started off with the Genius Feather Light Foundation (30ml), RM41.41.

-Developed to bring a long-lasting finish. With a feather light formula, Genius provides natural and consistent coverage leaving you with a smooth complexion and a dewy glow.

-Comes with innovative dropper applicator to prevent clogged up pumps and messy bottles. 

-The light, creamy texture blends in effortlessly providing excellent coverage which lasts up to 12 hours.

I found the colour a little light so it suits fairer skin and I didn't need alot for a medium coverage. Following its name sake, yes it is very light and doesn't clog pores.

 In the City Eyeshadow Palette (7g), RM34.81

-Contains 6 powdered matte eye shadow shades. This mini palette contains the perfect combination of pink nude tones to light browns.

-Provides excellent coverage as the colours are highly pigmented and provide little fallout. 

The colours are quite pigmented and gives the smokey feels. Love that it really does provide little fallout and the colour stays on skin.

 Aye Aye Captain Very Black Liquid Eyeliner (5ml), RM27.26

The superfine brush enables you to create the most delicate of lines and flourishing flicks.

Liquid eyeliner is sometimes harder to draw with because it is watery but with this sturdy stick and not a fine brush yet thin line, it is super easy to draw my eyeliner and not smudge.

Kiss Lipstick (3g), RM25.38 in Fushcia

It is a blod bright pink lipstick with a hint of shimmer. Love love the bold pink and it pops out beautifully.

Mega Matte Lips in Oddball (7ml), RM25.38

-A creamy texture, this product has great durability and feels moisturising rather than cakey on the lip.

-It contains high colour intensity with great pigmentation

I love to add this on the Fuschia lipstick for a nicer blend of pink and I have been complimented many times on my lip color. It doesn't dry up and it is very long lasting and stays on even after meals.

Here's a short video using the above W7 products.

Enjoy!

The light natural foundation smoothens out my skin and the eye and lip cosmetics make my best features shine =)

  

Thank you W7 Cosmetics for having me =)
