KinkyBlueFairy was recently engaged to extend invites to SALON; a pop-up space which previewed luxury brands that will soon be available in the world’s first Isetan The Japan Store, set to open in the third quarter of this year in Lot 10, Kuala Lumpur.
Japanese strawberries going at RM20 each. It was my first time trying them and they were extremely juicy, to the point you may make tiny slurping noises which might not prove very elegant.
Sandra is was on a vegetarian diet of sorts but when that plate was set in front of us, the ultra-foodie in her caved in. I don’t blame you Sandy. In fact, i’d be flabbergasted if you DIDN’T take a piece!
This party took place almost a month ago and… it’s hard for my blog to keep up with my life, i’m trying!
Mama G celebrated her 50th birthday on the same day as Clem, so i had two birthday parties to run to (and another event i stepped out of cos running to 3 on a Sat night would noT be fun). I decided (wisely) that i should definitely not drive, so i uber-ed it to Gardens Hotel where her birthday was held at the main ballroom. The theme was to come dress as any character you wanted. I suspected everyone was going to be all out ‘cos the birthday girl is known to hang out with some of the most extravagant/elaborately-dressed crowd. Was looking forward to it cos i know no one parties like the older fashion crowd ?
For those who don’t know who Mama G is:
“Gillian Hung, President of the Malaysian Official Designers’ Association, is a Jill-of-many-trades and master of all when it comes to the fashion industry. The former fashion and design director of Isetan and former CEO of Fashion Academy of Creative Technology, is also a fashion designer, retail consultant, fashion academic and corporate grooming consultant. A pioneer in the Malaysian fashion industry, “Mama G” as she’s affectionally known, is famous for her multi-tasking abilities in the highly challenging and competitive industry.” [source]
Her party was all out. She had so many outfit changes i lost count, and she looked banging hot in all of them.
Even all her backup dancers, singers, and emcee had outfit changes.
We were put up at Cerulean Tower in Shibuya. I took a walk out for dinner by myself the first night.
Didn’t really know WHAT to eat and found the Ichiran ramen shop by pure chance.
It was the perfect place to eat alone cos the restaurant consisted of two rows of little booths that faced the kitchen in the middle.
I took some random shots throughout the trip which Andrew edited into the video below! His first video editing attempt! Yay Andrew!
Early this month, Urban Decay sent me some new items from their recently-launched UD x Gwen Stefani collection. Having previously released the UDxGwen eyeshadow palette that sold like hot cakes, the brand has introduced four more limited-edition #UDxGwen products this spring – Blush Palette, Lipsticks, Lip Pencils, and Brow Box.
I got the Blush Palette (RM230) and 2 Lipsticks (RM85 each) to play with.
The UD x Gwen Stefani Blush Palette has 6 versatile shades of blush, bronzer and highlighter Gwen can’t live without; all recreated in UD’s 8-hour formula.
I have somewhat neglected my other blushers and contour colours since i started using this palette (cos it seems easier and faster to just open one palette than a multiple array of them… me and time remember?)
The colours i find myself constantly applying are Lo-Fi, Easy and Angel.
I use Lo-Fi (a darker pigment i find great for shadowing) on the hollows of my cheeks and up the sides of my face,
then i use Easy (a rosy hue) for the apples of my cheeks,
and Angel (a slightly shimmery highlight) to dust the area around my brow bone, tip of nose, and around my mouth.
The verdict: One day when i saw Baby for a meeting, she stared at me and exclaimed, “You look really fresh.”
Me: Really… I haven’t got enough sleep, you know that, bla bla bla
Her:*leans over* Oh… it’s your make up…
Ding ding ding!
Since then, I’ve religiously been applying it to look as less shit as possible for when i haven’t had enough sleep.
When i got back from one of my trips, a giant white box greeted me on the table where all the packages and mail sent to me are placed by the team. In it, were a colourful array of fun lifestyle and fashion items spanning different brands, all sourced and sold by Epik-Shop – a new online shopping marketplace that handpicks unique objects sold by different merchants in South East Asia.
Instead of using your fingers like back in the day (i don’t think most children these days even know this game), this Peace Rubber Band Gun was designed by Yasuhiro Asano in hopes of a world in which people do not hurt one another. Pulling the trigger reveals the word “PEACE”, conveying this message with every shot.
