My Make Over at Sephora @ Sky Avenue

No matter how busy I am, I cannot resist a good make up, even more so by reknown beauty retailer Sephora. That weekend, I cleared my schedule to make way for a special make-over by Sephora at Sky Avenue, Genting. This time, I want to reveal my darker alter ego. So let her rip with the colours!

Revealing my alter ego with make-up at Sephora

Sephora's unique, open-sell environment features an ever-increasing amount of classic and emerging brands across a broad range of product categories including skincare, makeup, fragrance, body and hair care, in addition to Sephora's own private label.

Day and Night Flawless Looks with Kat Von D by Sephora.com

Flawlessness has always been an alluring feature on the face. Despite lack of embellishment, smooth, clear and uni-tone skin speaks more. Good foundation has always been my interest to form a flawless canvas. This time, I am going to check out Kat Von D's Lock-It Foundation, ironically created by a tattoo artist who cannot bear to leave a bare patch on her skin . However, her foundation, I heard, is an 'antidote' to even tatoo-ed skin. 

Sephora, my go-to shop for make-up

I am going to test the Kat Von D products on a day that needs me to be a professional engineer when there is day light and rocking rebel when the moon replaces the sun. My ammunition would be the Kat Von D Lock-It Foundation and two bullets of Kat Von D Studded Kiss Lipsticks.

Kat Von D Lock-It Foundation

Kat Von D Lock-It Foundation in Medium 52 Neutral RM179
30ml 1.0 Oz

I have a neutral shade with a yellow undertone. Therefore, the Medium 52 Neutral absolutely matches my skin. When choosing your foundation colour, make sure that you are honest to yourself. 

Although I WANT to have a pinkish hue, slapping pink tones on my face would only make me turn grey at the end of the day. If you are yellow, choose yellow. Kat Von D's foundation range boasts 32 shades for you to choose from, so there is no shade you cannot find unless you are as green as the Hulk!

32 shades of foundation for you to match your skin with

Packaged in a 1.5 inch diameter transparent barrel with Kat Von D's signature calligraphic logo in silver and black, the pump press is comfortable enough for me to control the right amount pumped out without mess.

This foundation provides full coverage . I simply love the powerful pigmentation that gave my skin the limelight it was deprived of from acne scars. For tatoos, 3 layers or so are needed.

On my oily skin, it managed to keep my skin matte till lunch. It naturally turned dewy and gave a hydrated look after a while of baking. A little blotting and touch-up and I am ready for my party. After long hours of wear, it still feels like part of my skin and non-cakey with the touch-ups.

I have to applaud its transfer-resistance. The foundation did not stain my black shirt even after I deliberately brush my black shirt on my skin. Thanks to its concoction of silicon elastomers and siliconic esters.

Safely non-transferable

Most important of all, it is paraben-free, sulfate-free and phthalate-free.

 Kat Von D Studded Kiss Lipsticks

In a stylish black studded casing that resembles Kat's favourite bracelet, the Kat Von D Studded Kiss Lipstics come in the regular twist up mechanism. However, there is nothing regular about its range of colours. Its continuum includes miraculous pigments with shimmer and cult colours. Sparkling green and black midnight tones are certainly colours that could turn your life around!

Kat Von D Studded Kiss Lipstick in Bachelorette Matte Redish Fuschia (cult favourite) RM60

The glide on the lips is no-doubt smooth. Its colour pigmentation is rich enough for one-time application making my lips pop for the oomph I need according to the attitude I am wearing.

And oh, the sweet Creme Brulee scent just makes me feel so feminine! I adore its velvety finish. It is infused with vitamins A, C and E, an antioxidant that leaves lips feeling supple and most importantly, in the mood for some kiss kiss!

It is no wonder that I find myself indulging in looking in the mirror all the time which my colleagues must have noticed too!

Kat Von D Studded Kiss Lipstick in L.U.V. Matte Rich Violet (cult favourite) RM60

It is formulated without parabens, sulfates and phtyalates. Available in a wide range of attention seeking pigments and everyday neutral colours.

Such a fun colour that shouts "I love fashion!" 

Difference between night and day is just 2 lipsticks!

Barely There Make-up with Omorose

The barely-there make up has always been my favourite. Other than making people wonder if you are born with it, it gives you a good coat of confidence before you step out of the house. So far, Omorose Cosmetics has done a great job for me for my every day look to office in the day.

Ready to go to work!

Their colours are gracefully beautiful and subtly enhance beauty as if there is no make-up! Omorose is originated right here in Malaysia using natural ingredients with no parabens, no phenoxythanol, no phthalates , no mineral oil or animal ingredients. Omorose is also proudly presented in the 2015 and 2016 Pre-Golden Globe Awards. It is time we believed in our very own homegrown brands!

My Favourite 3 Omorose Products

My favourite applications in the morning for work. Love the sphere packaging of the powder and cheek tint.
They are my magic capsules!

1. Lip Dressing vegan lip balm (Raspberry Smoothie)
This is the first product that made me form an affinity towards this Malaysian brand. The scent smells deliciously sweet, making you feel every bit like a girl while nourishing the lips. The colour can be layered and creates dewy kissable lips. For tan skin like mine, Rasberry Smoothie provides a richer tint but still manages to keep the lips naturally naked.

The oval shape eases application following lip shape

Love the delicious raspberry smoothie scent.
Makes me feel like kissing people early in the morning!

Add some colour to your lips without looking too over the top

2. Rosey Glow cheek tint (England's Rose)
If hanging upside down before you go to work is not your choice of getting rosy cheeks, get a cheek tint. I love this product as it instantly gives me a healthy glowing look. I prefer gel blush tint than powder blusher as it lasts longer and when applied, it is one with your skin, as if the skin is naturally glowing. Apply it on the apple of the cheeks and blend with finger tips. England's Rose is another hue that matches my tan skin perfectly making it look radiant always.

Omorose Rosey Glow cheek tint

Rub some on the apple of your cheeks and blend with fingers. Love the sweet scent.

Adds a hint of healthy glow to the skin

3. Satyn superfine finishing powder (Flawless)
Before leaving the house, I brush a layer of Satyn superfine finishing powder which absorbs oil and keeps the skin looking matte all day. I have extremely oily skin. Therefore it took me a while to find a good finishing powder that keeps my skin fresh all day. I like touching my face (although not encouraged) because like its name suggests, it becomes smooth like satin.

Omorose Satyn Loose Powder which comes in Flawless and Diamond (glitter)
The Diamond Satyn is great for evening events as it adds sparkle to your look

Powder is translucent and matches almost all skin colours

Oh the matte feeling throughout the day

The end result...

A Musical Christmas @ Lot 10 Kuala Lumpur

I make it a must that all my Decembers are stoked with Christmas! Christmas trees, Christmas treats, Christmas decorations, Christmas carols, Christmas dresses and dinners. Every year, the mall hopping is never to be missed. What is there not to like about the Yuletide season. Everything is so glittery and ethereally pretty. This weekend, my sister and I visited Lot 10 Kuala Lumpur. The perennial landmark shopping mall has chosen to be euphonious this year with a musical theme.

And there was the busking trio

From 5th till 25th December 2016, Lot 10 Kuala Lumpur will contribute to the merriment of Christmas with whimsical musical instruments at their concourse area. The theme 'A Musical Christmas' brings joy and fun to visitors with their giant scale Xylophone made from reclaimed wood, Aerophone created from high density pipe and Metallophone constructed from anodized aluminium tubes with steel.

Visitors can participate in the Facebook Contest by recording a video while playing their favourite songs and Christmas tunes using the musical instruments and upload it to the Lot 10 Kuala Lumpur Facebook page to stand a chance to win attractive prizes!

Joining the fun are Christmas gift booths which shoppers can search beautiful gifts from. Stick Arts Cafe is there to sugar up your gallivanting time in Lot 10 with 3D gelatos, cakes, pralines, macaroons, coffee and tea. A sweet break for afternoon tea with delectable desserts sounds good to my sister and I.

Omorose Cosmetics are also there to brighten up the festive mood with cosmetics that make great gifts for ladies. I must say that I was extremely honoured to meet the founder of the homegrown brand that took the products to international platforms. Lucky of us for getting to meet the busy man that is said to be rarely seen in KL.

With fouder of Omorose, Terry Liau

Terry himself brilliantly gave me a make over that I wish I could preserve over the weekends! I was dusted with Omorose's glitter face powder that quickly became one of my favourite products. Their tinted lip balms which smell incredibly delicious and blushers deserve thumbs up.

 

My makeover by Terry Liau using Omorose Cosmetics

 This inspiring Malaysian, Terry, hires the blind in the production of his make ups which explains the Braille on the packaging of Omorose products. A Malaysian product that we should all be proud of as Omorose also sponsors celebrity make ups in Hollywood!

After my makeover with Omorose Cosmetics

The friendly guitarists at the Swee Lee Music booth were there to entertain too. One of them was even willing to play at the background as I played the Metallophone. Thanks abang guitarist!
