Bobbi Brown x Chocolate Cats 5th Anniversary

Inconjunction of Fatin's Chocolate Catsz blog 5th anniversary, Bobbi Brown decided to throw her a workshop party for her and her followers on a wonderful 2nd weekend of October. I was one of her lucky blog follower to get chosen for this workshop party and I can't tell you how excited I am!

It's the "Instant Pretty Makeup Workshop", one of the many makeup workshop of Bobbi Brown's, which is super useful to all the ladies out there who are always rushing to work in the morning, or for people like me who always sleep late. *oops*

One mirror for each of us

There are super yum chocolate cupcakes, buns, fresh juices and tidbits prepared for us, roam around the shop for awhile and then the workshop started with an opening speech from both Bobbi Brown's and Fatin.

Fatin of Chocolate Catsz

Like aforementioned, this is an "instant pretty" makeup workshop, so every technique that I learned that day is efficient in lighten up your face in just few minutes. Simple but important steps that you feel you have to oblige in order to look fresh at the start of the day! No more sleepy face!

Our makeup guru and model of the day

Clean and moisturized face is super important for your makeup to stay fresh the whole day

I heart Bobbi Brown's concealer!
Super effective in covering any flaws on your face
*drools looking at this palette*

As you see, concealer is a must!
Especially to cover up your dark eye circles

Bobbi Brown's signature eyebrow drawing method

In order to make your face figure look 3D, shading isn't needed if you draw your eyebrows with Bobbi Brown's method. Draw it abit squarish at the start of your eyebrow it will instantly make you look like you have high nose bridge without having put some shading powder around your nose. One more makeup technique GET!

Lip colour is important for not looking like a walking dead zombie in the morning too!

She's amazed by how instant pretty she looked!

To turn your day look into night look, put on some mascara and eyeliner for an instant glam up!

After the workshop ended, we get to roam around testing all the makeup that we wish to test. Makeup artists of Bobbi Brown's were all so helpful and patient in explaining all my questions bout their makeup.

all the beautiful colours

I tested all these
Wish to bring all of 'em back home with me

I made my first Bobbi Brown purchase in my life that day! A good start to good makeup isn't? Thank you Fatin and the whole Bobbi Brown team for such a wonderful day. I super love Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge in Calypso Coral which the colour suits me perfectly, and their grains face scrub with Azuki red beans bits in it!

Thank you Fatin and Bobbi Brown!

Feel free to drop by at any Bobbi Brown makeup studio to enquire about their workshops, they have so many different makeup techniques which suits different kind of occasion. I feels like going for their bridal makeup workshop already!

Transitions

One month plus since my last update! That's freaking long time if compare with hardworking bloggers who keep updating their blog. But weird is, the less I update my blog, it seems the more people been reading it, I don't know why. Can somebody tell me why this happening?



However, I could say that it's kinda like a transition period to me for this period to take a break, slow down in blogging and recalibrate my pace in life. Lots of things been happening lately, mostly negative stuff, alot more downs than ups, but that's okay, I reckon that this if life, as long as I don't give up, right?



Of course, there are some wonderful stuff that happened too and I can't wait to share it all on my blog. Gonna start clearing all the backlogs of events which stash like a mountain before I can share those life moments. I hope the PRs are not too pissed off with my slow updates.




Took these photos over the weekend during my awesome stay at Cameron Highland Resort. I'm so thankful for able to be there with all the wonderful people and warm hearted whenever I thought of it. Sometimes I think I'm one lucky girl too and these photos reminds me of how grateful I should be.

Nonetheless, stay tune for my updates and happy Wednesday!

ChiChi & ChaCha

As I always believe, the world is a complicated place as it always been. The things that we get in touch with, leaves impression and affect our lives in a long period sometimes. That's why choosing the right medium of entertainment for our young ones is one serious matter and not to take it too lightly as the wrong entertainment will shape the next generation in a wrong way. 

2 years is not a short period, and it is the time that's been used to produced Malaysia's very first local children edutainment programme for the kids of Malaysia called "ChiChi & ChaCha", Education + Entertainment is the new way of learning for the modern generation kids and this live action and 3D animated characters edutainment series is going to be on air soon on Astro Ceria Channel 611 and Astro Maya HD Channel 135.

I'm glad to be introduced to ChiChi & ChaCha last week and be at their launch at a beautiful restaurant cafe called Talent Lounge.

Lots of kids were invited to the launch, they are all excited to see the sneak preview of ChiChi & ChaCha. The launch took part on a breezy afternoon, and we adults were eager to see the production that took 2 years to present in front of our eyes and our next generation. Cheerful host started the programme at the launch.

Heart warming speech by Jojo Struys

ChiChi & Chacha is the intellectual property of  Big Fish Media, a joint venture between Educate to Learn (e2L) and Kyanite TV. Kyanite TV has been the premier production house in Malaysia which involved in some high end quality productions like Jejak Jepun Bersama Zizam (Astro), Chalk & Cheese (AFC), Letting Go with Jojo Struys (Mediacorp), Yuna Inspired (Astro) and many more. Jojo Struys being the Executive Producer of Big Fish Media, says that ChiChi & ChaCha will be more than just an entertainment for the Children of our generation. It combines education of wide variety topics which is high quality as well as meaningful to watch. She wanted to create a childhood memory that we Malaysian are familiar with, instill with positive thinking and way of life through ChiChi & ChaCha and live a happy childhood with all the positive energy that's been surrounding the children.

cute interaction between adult and kids

Vice President of Multimedia Development Corporation (MDeC) is one of the proud supporter for this production of Big Fish Media "We at MDeC are always looking to support and encourage our Malaysian companies to think outside of the box and we would like to truly show the international community that we are capable of creating great things. I'm proud to endorse the vision and goals of Big Fish Media and would like to wish them best of luck in this noble endeavour." He said. "Children of 80s grew up with beautiful memories such as Micky Mouse and Sesame Street as a child, those are entertainment that somehow more or less shaped us into what we are when we grew up, we want something good to be share with Malaysian kids, and this is the goal of ChiChi & ChaCha, for Malaysian children to grow up together with. " He added.

Sneak peak of ChiChi & ChaCha were showed during the launch

Suddenly, the launch became so lively because the 5 energetic hosts were on the stage, dancing and singing with all the guests that were present at the launch. They are Sweet, Harris, Afeiq, Leen and Farisha. They may be at a young age but all of them have already been in the showbiz industry for so many years, they can sing and dance so well!

Golden Half

Finally, I decided to purchase a lomo camera that I've been eyeing for quite some years - Golden Half. Although I know that lomo cameras are not that expensive comparing to DSLR, but owning one is more like want than need, but nonetheless, I had one now! *weeee~!!!*

Golden Half

Had to give thanks to luck for me owning this, because if it wasn't for Tammy moving out from her place and decided to sell this camera for price lower than retail, I think I wouldn't be such impulsive in telling her that I want it immediately after I saw the stuff she selling in her Facebook album.




She's letting go both Golden Half, but I chose the Original design as I love how simple and clean it looked. I guess I'm not really a fancy kinda person nowadays. Is it a sign of ageing and try to be as practical when your age hits you? lol.

Small and cute!

This is my first film camera after such long time. I remember playing with one when I was small, probably 4 or 5 years old, and that camera got stollen when a robber entered our house and stole our valuables including the film camera. Film camera does give me a lot of nostalgic emotion, when loading the film into this Golden Half, it feels like photography done right. The feeling is incredibly good.




It wasn't easy to get this baby working. First, due to Malaysia's weather, the rubber coating of this camera starting to melt and it becomes so sticky, but I guess it's fine for me as I will try to pimp it up or use alcohol/thinner to rub the rubber coating off soon. Then, loading the film and getting the film counter to work for the first time makes me paranoid as the counter wouldn't work. They say if the counter wouldn't work, the camera will be useless. Thank god I took out the film and reload once again and the counter starting to run! But for sure the first few photos of this roll of film gonna be wasted. Let's see.

I love the slogan of lomography which sounds like "Don't think just shoot it!". I guess that capturing something beautiful doesn't require any skill or high tech gadgets at all, as long as your heart feels that it is beautiful, so it is. Can't wait to finish shooting with this roll of film and develop it! I hope it doesn't turn out all to be blank or too horrible to look at.
