Kiss Me by Isehan 10th Anniversary Celebration

Being a big fan of Japanese makeup stuff, it hits me when I realised that Kiss Me is going to celebrate their 10th anniversary this year! How time flies! We've been prettified by all those wonderful Kiss Me products for all these years, so a celebration is a must!!!

To celebrate Kiss Me 10th Anniversary, there was a roadshow held at Publika last week and a lot of exciting activities been going on that day, one of the highlight was the live makeup demonstration by a renowned Japanese makeup artist who has 25 years of makeup experience in Japan - Ms. Sayuri Igarashi, creating looks with Kiss Me products. 

Once step into this area, confirm go crazy with all the awesome deals that was on during the roadshow!

Pretty Freda and Cute Jean
They are the best companions to go events with!
Had so much fun at the Kiss Me Roadshow with these two crazy beauties lol.

Japanese makeup style is always one of my favourite because they always have their unique makeup style and trend that I will not hesitate to try on my face. I can still remember when Kiss Me first brought into Malaysia, I literally went crazy and went to Watsons and buy their famous mascara and eyeliner. Still can't believe they are 10 years established and still going strong, so many Japanese celebrities and artists are using their products everyday!

Timeline of Kiss Me products over these 10 years.

So many of my friends are users of Kiss Me products, they've been asking me about the awesome deals at the roadshow, up to 15% discount of selected products and there are some money-can't-buy complimentary gifts from Kiss Me if the purchase hits certain amount. Me myself can't stop searching for good stuff and finally bought the heavy rotation eyebrow palette.

Makeup demonstration gonna start soon!
Can't wait to see Sayuri-san show us the latest Japanese makeup trend. 

Sayuri Igarashi-san!
She's so cute, cheerful and bubbly! Love her to bits!

It's been a wonderful makeup demonstration session where Sayuri-san would smile and joke with the model and audiences, making it a very enjoying atmosphere when doing the makeup, unlike some of us will frown and complaint how hard it is to apply makeup. I guess using Kiss Me makeup products will definitely lighten up the mood and because of its easy application and also pretty packaging!

Smiling face when apply makeup, have to remind myself about that in the future!

Face Color Palette

I'm a big fan of blusher! Definitely fell in love with this face color palette the first glance I saw Sayuri-san held it in her hand and apply it on the model's face. It combines blusher, highlight and shading in one palette, perfect for either beginner in makeup or professional use. The peachy pink colour is so nice when apply on asian skin tones, kinda made me feel like wanna own one too! Girls will never complaint for having too much makeup items in their stash. lol.

Perfect daily makeup look created in just short 15 minutes!

Right after the makeup demonstration ended, another two models were asked to be presented on stage to show the difference of makeup style that Japanese and Kiss Me's been creating these 10 years. From a very cute, kawaii look to big eyes red lips dolly look until year 2015, the natural makeup look that everyone's been trying so hard to achieve, are all achievable easily using Kiss Me makeup products.

You can see the difference easily, the different makeup trend in Japan throughout these 10 years, explained by Sayuri-san.

After seeing Sayuri-san create the natural makeup look, I feel like drawing makeup on face too but my makeup was a bit on the heavy side that day, so I decided to try Kiss Me products on my two friends who will never say no to me hahahahahahaha!

Happily posing with Kiss Me products, but didn't see what's coming after!
Test all the makeup on their faces!!!! MUAHAHAHAHA!

They have very light makeup that day, so I tried apply some colours like darker eyeshadows, blusher, shading onto their makeup and it instantly light-up their face! Feels like they are ready to go out and conquer the world with their beauty! (Buay paiseh-ly praising oneself makeup skill hahahahaha). 

#macamyes
#tapibukan
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA 

It was a really fun roadshow to be at, I've discovered so many new makeup items from Kiss Me that I would include in my next purchase, and also makeup tips given by Sayuri-san who is so kind answering all the makeup questions as well as input her own views in creating the perfect daily makeup look by using simple steps and Kiss Me products. Definitely have to give thanks to my friends who trust me enough that I won't be ruining their face that day with all the makeup stuff I tried on their face! Maybe this is what we call true friends HAHAHAHA!

Last but not least, thank you Kiss Me who gave me such a fun time at the roadshow!

Although the roadshow had ended on Sunday, but their awesome deals are still going strong! There's still 15-30% discounts for selected items of Kiss Me products when you purchase them at Watsons stores. Promotion period ends on November 2nd! Head over to Watsons now and stock up your favourite Kiss Me items!

La Café Mémoire, TTDI

TTDI is such a good place for cafe hopping, and surprisingly good food from those cafe that I went with my friends too. Thanks for the intro by Freda, managed to try La Café Mémoire and I really love the environment and also the food of this cafe. If you see me visit that cafe more than once, there must be something I really love about that place, for this case, is the food!

Located at an upstair lot on a street that not much people passes by, is hard to spot La Café Mémoire from afar, hence I believe that most of their customers are attracted via viva voce of how good this cafe is, just like how we were first intro to.

Welcome to the The Cafe of Memory

Not really an attractive sight I know

Main element of the cafe? Wood of course!

If you have something for wood and d.i.y furniture, this cafe is definitely your style. Lead by the head chef Brian who had mastered his culinary skill in both desserts and main courses, alongside with his family, they are the one who running the café's business together hand in hand, I guess this kinda explains a lot the homely feeling surrounding the cafe itself.

Drooling over the desserts

Hand written menu on wall as decoration

I went there a few times, and everytime I left that place with a satisfying heart and tummy. Hence if you're looking for some Italian cuisine with good desserts, this place definitely able to fulfilled all your needs. 

First and foremost, gotta intro their coffee, which I didn't know it'll be served as pretty like this:

Caffe Alexander, RM13

This glass of wine-look-alike coffee which is a novelty drink of La Café Mémoire: double espresso, Bols Crème de Cacao Brown with hazelnut syrup, serve chilled. The first sip as if I had taken alcohol, the taste is strong but the more you drink it the more smooth it became and I find that I like this mixture of double espresso! Can pretend tipsy in the end hahaha. Definitely worth a try for coffee+alcohol lover.

Macam a bit tipsy dy right? Definitely not my blusher! Haha.

Smoked Salmon Salad

Mixed with fresh and crispy vegetables, this plate of smoked salmon salad satisfied my salmon cravings. With a hint of tangy saucing, this appetizer really opens up ones appetite and prepared for more yummy food following.

Mushroom Soup, RM10

Doesn't look like your usual mushroom soup as it is more creamier than norm, loaded with chunks of chinese mushrooms, shiitake, shimeji mushrooms, and oysters. This bowl of mushroom soup offered you a more oriental taste and yet paired with slices of artisanal bread, it is another perfect appetizer that I really love.

Escargot with Cheese Sauce, RM18

Forever succumbed to the word "cheese". Sautéed escargot with shimeji mushrooms served with butter herbs, cheese sauce and brioche bun. The bun is very good in soaking the sauce up, paired with escargots and shimeji mushroom, each spoonful is creamy and delicious. Order this for days that you're not feeling any main course and you'll have a filled tummy before you knew it.



Here comes the main course that I've tried. If you don't know, La Café Mémoire offers homemade fettuccine as a healthier choice when it comes to pasta selection. We tried both the spaghetti and homemade fettuccine and yes, homemade fettuccine definitely taste better.

Seafood Aglio Olio, RM15

Chicken Bolognese Handmade Fettuccine

Chose Aglio Olio and Bolognese for our pasta dishes that night due to the creamy mushroom soup which kinda refrain us from ordering more cream based food. These two pasta dishes doesn't really impressed me much but I've forgotten to take photo of the creamy bacon pasta during my 3rd visit which the pasta tasted heavenly! Me and Amanda were like OMG THIS IS SO DELICIOUS BUT WE AGREED TO SHARE HOW NOT ENOUGH kinda feeling. Lol. Order their creamy bacon pasta if you're big fan of creamy pasta like me!





Last but not least, desserts time. Before Chef Brian introduced main courses in La Café Mémoire, this cafe used to serve only coffee and desserts, hence you can tell how good and special their desserts are gonna be! First and foremost, the house specialty:

Nutty Bacon Sundae, RM11

I can never imagine ice creams with crispy bacon but Chef Brian did, and it's a big hit! With vanilla ice cream, calamansi ice cream, caramelised mixed nuts, finished off with caramel sauce and of course, crispy bacon strips! The marriage between savoury bacons, sweet vanilla, sourish calamansi and crunchy nuts, each bite brings you a new sensation! Make sure you mixed well of everything in a bite or else the calamansi ice cream is gonna leave you frowning in sour face at the end of the cup!

Chocolate Soufflé with Raspberry Sorbet, RM15

An à la minute handcrafted dessert, this chocolate soufflé is another perfect mixture of sweet and sour, hot and cold. Its fluffy baked hot Valrhona chocolate soufflé tasted soft from the inside, with raspberry sorbet dip into the middle of it, the taste of these two gonna let soufflé lovers floating to heaven.



Life can't be better when you have good drinks, good food, and good companions to dine with!

These crazy girls made my dining experience goes happy and crazy all the time!

Superdry VIP Day, Superdry Store Pavilion

Everybody including me myself, thought that Superdry is a brand from Japan, but in fact THEY ARE NOT! With Japan inspired graphics + vintage Americana in British style, Superdry is actually a British international branded clothing which everyone knew, and been exciting talked about when it first started a store right in the heart of Kuala Lumpur some time ago. 

Thanks to the invitation from Superdry and Butterfly Malaysia, I was invited to join the Superdry VIP Day and get to know more about the brand that day, up-close!

Superdry VIP Day held at Pavilion's Superdry Store.

What is Superdry VIP Day?

Superdry VIP Day is held by Superdry store as a thank-you gesture to their supportive fans of the brand where there will be unbelievable discounts and also gifts when you attended the event. I can see some of the customers been having a hard time choosing items and end up buy everything on VIP Day because of the discounts. Look out for Superdry's next VIP Day if you're one of the VIP member, you'll go crazy shopping in their store.

Me, sweetie Jean and Lisa photobombing. Haha.

If you thought Superdry is only well known for their Superdry T-Shirt, you're so goddamn wrong as there are so many nice items in their store aside from their most famous Japan-inspired graphic T-Shirt. Until recently only I found out they carry such wide range of items in their store:

Retro Superdry series
I like the white colour shoes!

Super sporty watches, they even carry women watches too with Swarovski elements. 

Superdry jeans which offers different styles - skinny, boyfriend, slim, you name it!

Superdry T-Shirt for girls! 

Superdry sweaters for women!
Totally in love with these~ if only Malaysia have cooler season!

Girly dress from Superdry! Who would've thought!

One of the highlight of the night's event was styling presentation presented by well-known stylist Voon Wei. By mix and matching Superdry's latest Autumn Winter collection of 2015, we now know how to look sporty yet stylish, layering is the point! I really love the sweater and leather jacket look. 

Stylist Voon Wei and the celebrities that he styled that night including local DJs, Radio DJs and Celebrities.

Thanks to the generosity of Superdry Malaysia, now I'm officially a Superdry VIP too!

After looking at how Voon Wei styled the celebrities, me and the girls look around search for stuff that we like, and started mix and matching. The amount of time we spent in changing room and waiting for others is no joke! Girls gonna do what girls does best right! Shopping mode ON already!!!

Mirror-like sunglasses and also Superdry cap!
These glasses are going to be big hit, says me! LOL!

After much consideration, I've decided to own my very first Superdry item:

Which is such a huge deal it even has a seat of its own!!!

THIS!

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT!!! I cannot tell you how much I love this bag at the first moment I saw it hanging on the rack! Immediately I tell myself I just gotta have it, and I did!!! Such gorgeous and sturdy backpack that even my mum told me she love it too! It's iridescent colour stands out from the crowd, my friends say it really suits me a lot! Yays! My first Superdry item!!! *applause*

It was such a fun night with the girls, with DJ playing deep house music at the background, and learned some styling tips from stylist, playing mix and match with the apparels in the store to look for the best style that suits us, Superdry Store has a lot more to offer than just sporty and casual T-Shirt. Drop by and see for yourself and who knows you might found something as awesome as my iridescent coloured backpack!

Greenhouse by Muir, Jalan Ampang

Located at Jalan Nipah off Jln Ampang, Greenhouse by Muir isn't new to locals, but if you haven't visit this glass-house-like cafe and restaurant, is time to do so!

I've been visiting Greenhouse by Muir so many times in the past few months due to friends keep admitting into Gleneagles Hospital. Let's not talk about the bad luck stuff okay. And yes the place is located beside Gleneagles, be sure to keep an eye to the building beside, that's where Greenhouse by Muir is. 

This is Greenhouse by Muir
Limited parking space tho.

The last time I went, the restaurant upstairs already started operating.
It is called BRYCG New Orlean Cuisine, but I haven't try the place yet!

Greenhouse by Muir consists a few different concept of café and restaurants. There's this café called Even Dough, which you can order your coffee, tea, food and desserts right at their counter located beside entrance.

If you're a bread/coffee person, Even Dough is the place for you.

Kuroshio Market
Japanese cuisine

Then, after you passed by Even Dough counter, you will saw this Kuroshio Market, which sells Japanese food. Fresh, but a tad bit pricey in my opinion. The place start operating at 11a.m, afternoon break 3-6p.m. So be sure to get there during lunch time or dinner time, but not tea time. They sell all types of Japanese food, wide selection they have there but not really fancy ones. 

And then there's this BRYCG New Orleans Cuisine located upstairs, which I've never been to, serve lunch and dinner in western style. Greenhouse by Muir is such a brilliant idea to have your meals at when you have no idea where to eat at as they cater for all types of appetites - be it western, japanese or just some light tea time snacks. 

I've been there for more than 5 times, so will just gather all the food that I've ate in this one post, some I've already forgot what they are called, and definitely can't remember their price. So bear with me kay? Start with the drinks:

Chonchocshun Iced Tea
RM13.25

Mistakenly ordered this on my first visit. It was during brunch so I can understand how blurry I was, anyway I totally do not enjoy white chocolate and steamed milk tea... Like what? What is white chocolate tea? I don't get it at all lol. Initially wanted to order chocolate drinks, must've overlooked the Iced Tea label on far top, I'm a sucker for fancy names, Chonchocshun sounded like something I definitely will order. Hahahaha.

Cafe Latte, RM11.66

Their coffee is quite decent, to my liking. Really like how smooth their cafe latte tasted, and yet not too bitter. Please don't ask me why their pricing ended with weird decimal number, I have no idea too. Maybe they calculated the GST altogether.



There's another drink that I would highly recommend BUT I didn't knew I never take a photo of it at all! OMGWHYYYYYY!!!! But anyway, here's the name that you need to remember when you order drinks at Even Dough, the drink is called:

HUNNYHUNNY

Omg ever since Fatin told me about this drink, I've been ordering it on my every visit. It is an intense honey lemon flower tea. I really love how tasteful it is, and refreshing at the same time. Give it a try, you will like it.



Next, will like to talk about food ordered from Kuroshio Market. You choose/take food that you want and pay at the counter. It's like grocery shopping but at Kuroshio Market, it is food shopping. I gave their Salmon Sashimi a try, and gosh the freshness is worth every cent I paid!

Freshly cut Salmon Sashimi
Look at its thickness! And the fats!
Less than RM20

Then the makis which I've no idea how much they cost...

But they surely look good right?

On a fine Saturday brunch, me and Jean and Fatin had these
Guess which is mine! Hahahahaha.

Do visit Kuroshio Market when they preparing for the first crowd of customers as that's where you get to taste those freshly fried tempuras and other dishes. I really like their butterfish, and it's like around RM9! Their fried butterfish is so fresh and soft at the same time is totally my type of fish dishes. Can't wait to go back and have their fried butterfish again!

Next will be dishes from Even Dough Café and Bakery:

Eggs Named Benedict, RM15.90

This is the first time I saw there's bonito flakes on western breakfast. It does add different kinda taste to an usual eggs + toast + ham breakfast, but this Eggs Named Benedict isn't eggs benedict at all! It is one tricky name they have there, my feeling was being cheated!!! LOL. I was looking forward to have eggs benedict as brunch but...

Really English Breakfast, RM15.90

Another fusion combination of edamame, scramble egges, sausages and toasts, with wasabi sauce. I prefer this over Eggs Named Benedict, at least I won't have my feeling cheated. Hahaha.

Walnut Danish

What took me by surprise from Even Dough Bakery, is this Walnut Danish. Normally I would imagine that walnut danish is some hard like rock and tasteless pastries, and to my surprise, Even Dough's walnut danish is so light, soft, crispy, sweet and crunchy! Can you imagine like some galaxies bursting in your mouth? That's basically how I felt for each bite of these walnut danish.

Custard Buns

On the other hand, these custard buns turn out to be a sad case. They're a bit hard, and more tasteless. I kinda regret buying these buns tho. T_T

Last but not least, desserts:

Black Sesame

If you like adventurous flavours of cakes, Even Dough cafe definitely can satisfy your appetite with this black sesame cake! It is so soft, moist, each bite is full of black sesame and I can't find any reason why you will dislike this cake! Definitely a must try for those who have a thing for black sesame anything!

Chocolate Caramel Cake on the left and right side is a cake that doesn't taste good hence I don't remember its name

Did I tell you that the pastry chef of Even Dough was previously chef of big name hotel? Yes! Their Chocolate Caramel Cake is totally on point I can't tell you how rich it is and how addicted I was I'm craving for it like NOW!!! I want to have it now!!! But the coconut mango something cake (I don't remember already! It's gonna be 2 months soon since I had these!) isn't something I would know how to appreciate. I think I'm gonna stick back to black sesame and chocolate caramel cake.




Greenhouse by Muir is really a nice place with nice food, I enjoyed their al-fresco area when it's not too hot and hazy. Give it a try when you're around KL area. I shall end this post with a photo of mine lololol:

I remember this happened on 1st of August!
How time flies!
