Kiss Me x Lucido-L Beauty Workshop



Attended the Kiss Me x Lucido-L beauty workshop two weeks ago with Choy Peng - a talented and dedicated blogger :D (Do check out her blog here , enjoy reading!). Workshop started around 1pm, so we met up for brunch at Frisson Coffee Bar.

 

My awesome Chunky Salmon Omelette.

I went there again for brunch the next day with my family, ordering some scrambled eggs and mushrooms; but I still prefer the chunky salmon omelette haha, the mushrooms were too sour for my liking.

 

After having a super speedy brunch (I was 30minutes late, thus only have 30minutes for food >___<), we went up for the workshop~

 

All the banners for selfies and phototaking :)

With some cute photo props.

I sometimes do like Japanese drugstore brands like Kiss Me, heavy rotation, canmake etc since they are usually less pricey, and the quality is still there. It's very easy to just lose to the temptation and buy everything off the shelf, thats what I always do sobs.

 

I can't believe i met some familiar faces like Joey and Abby (from the japanese community), we took a short instavid together but I haven't received any from them so I will just wait quietly lol.

 

Anyway Choy Peng and I got a good spot for ourselves; I'm pretty impressed with how they arranged the tables. Each table was full of brand new Kiss me, Bifesta and Lucido-L products (not even opened yet!) for us to try out and use.

 

Look at all the new products on our tables!! The organisers were pretty generous and I love it :D They were also very considerate, preparing us with proper cotton bads, Q-tips, mirror, hair clips and bobby pins!

 



Plus a brand new comb for us :)

I didn't want to remove my existing makeup, because I was quite particular with my skincare routine and foundation. Just can't take accept removing all my makeup and skipping my skin care routine before applying makeup on my face all over again.

 

But I've used Bifesta makeup removers before, and they were one of my favourite makeup remover brands. I like the UV cream a lot !! Comparable with the ones I got from Japan. Bought one for myself after the workshop :)

 

Got this photo from Kiss Me facebook page, I look so serious trying and putting on the make up hahaha.

 

 



Did my brows with the brow palette, added on some black liquid eye liner and coatings of mascara. I do like the hair styling part of the workshop as well, love to try out different new hair styles.

 



 

 

Get to know some new friends too :D She has beaufiful thick hair, am sooo envious of her hair.

 

 

Tadaaa! I did this on my own! Am proud of myself hehehe (not to mention how sore my arms felt after doing this >__>).

 

Close up~

 

We had all the time in the world for selfies and more selfies :D Pretty sad they don't have lip products for us to try out though. I had to use my own lip color to complete the look.

 



 

There's this really cute wallpaper at the event space and we took loads of pictures there too.

 



 

 Goodies Bag!!!~~~

 

 

They are selling the products before and after the workshop as well, so everyone can purchase them at a lower-than-retail price after trying out during the workshop. I bought myself a Glitter eyeliner (can be used for Namidabukuro - tear bag makeup), and also the UV suncream i mentioned just now.

 



 

OOTD: Green velvet Skirt Overalls with white blouse; pairing with my new balance sneakers. Photos credit to Choy Peng, love her photography skills.

 



 

 

Went for another beauty blogger meetup last Sunday as well, am probably gonna blog about it when I have more free time. Backlog is piling up >___<

Nijikai 2014 @ Pearl International Hotel

6th September 2014

Super backdated post. Am working hard trying to clear all my drafts.

My first time performing at Nijikai! Whats so different about this event compared to the others that I have went is that...this is an event for Yaoi/BL lovers hahaha. Don't ask me what does that mean, it's kinda awkward to explain here, please search by yourself.

 

Stage pass!:

 

I went in with my sister by the way, she was helping me to record my performance. I have to thank the crews for preparing a nice area for us to rest and prepare before the performance ^^. It was a small and cozy event, and people there were nice and warm!~ I wish all events are like this, and I feel appreciated performing in their events~

 

OOTD: Denim Maxi Dress with White Martin shoes.

More selfies ^^. These pictures were taken in the guest/performers room, so these should be considered as behind the scenes photos lol.

Setlist of the day:
1. Romance Way from Okane ga Nai
2. Gore from side B Junjou Romantica CD
3. Ashita, Boku wa Kimi ni Ai ni Iku from Sekaiichi

My sis bought a new cellphone case! Only RM10 omg so cheap!! And it's Takano from Sekaiichi hehe.

 

I don't have any performance photos because the cam was used for video recording. And I still have not edit the videos =____= master of procastination lol.

 

Ending this with our loots of the day! Hope I get to perform for Nijikai again this year (2015).  

 

Lolita Photoshoot (behind the scene) + Sayoko hangout

26 July 2014

Two days outing with Sayoko~

Went Loudspeaker Subang with her on Saturday, omg the wide selection of Japanese songs!! We went overly high singing all the jrock songs haha. They even have some older jrock songs like Yokan by Dir en Grey omg. Yokan was probably the first few jrock songs I've heard when I'm young. Sayoko said the puchong branch has Preserved Rose and No pain no game though. GAH loudspeaker is really the best! It's cheap, their food is nice!!!(Redbox sucks badly on their food), and cool song selection~

Sacchin took this to show Erin hahaha. To make her jealous. So many Uta-Pri songs lol. I really like Savior of songs!!! And I started practicing on some screamo after the K session haha, really wish to perform Liar (One ok Rock) one day with my beloved band~

27 July 2014

 

Sunday - I had a Lolita photoshoot by Feito, Ikmal and Rais (who only joined us during the last hour of the shoot).

 

Thanks a lottttt to Sayoko who actually accompanied me throughout the shoot, and even spent her day with me choosing books (to spend off my 1Mbook vouchers) at Kinokuniya. I'm sure she was pretty tired and probably bored but she didn't complain and was with me the whole day, thanks soooo much. 

 

Sis took this in the car. I really like this pic~ Too bad it's a little dark.

 

 

Brighter version. I like the darker one though haha, my expressions were better.

 

I'm proud of my lolita outfit by the way! This was my first complete Lolita outfit, Navy blue poker x rose print JSK, match with lace white blouse. I was quite worried that it doesn't suit me, or even worse, lolita fashion doesn't suit me. But it went well and I'm so happy I can pull off this look! I'm so looking forward to add more accessories and complete more themes for this outfit. And once I'm done I could move forward to try out other lolitas ^^.

 

The shoot this time was at Tokyo Pastry, Avenue K. The owner was nice enough to let us move around the decorations and furnitures for the shoot ^^. Although I do feel bad about occupying their space though, for around 4 hours (10am-2pm).

 

I'm gonna upload some behind the scene pictures for this post, and probably do a proper blog post later when I got the entire set of photos (gonna post the ones I really like ^^). Once again huge thanks to the photographers Feito, Ikmal and Rais for putting up with my inexperience in posing. I did my best during the shoot though~

 

Okay here comes the omake/sneek peek photos, enjoy~ **All photos posted here credited to AIO photography.



 

The pretty looking tea set. Only for viewing purpose though, not recommended for eating haha.

Ahh~

 

Playing with some antique camera ^^.

 



My mum say I look like minion in this picture =___=.

 

One of my favourite~

 

Lol zettai ryouiki.

 

Sacchin in the photo! They all said she's at her director seat. I wonder what trigger my laughter haha.

 

Three actual pics taken by AIO Photography (Ikmal):

I love all three! Realise that there's more sitting poses than standing, so there isn't many photos that showcase my entire dress =___=. I'm definitely doing another shoot (when my outfit is complete) in the future!! I'm pretty satisfied with the photos this round, there's around 10+ photos that are usable! Usually out of the entire shoot I only like around 2-3 photos max haha.

 

The photographers were kind enough to offer me more shoots in the future~ For example my music themed photo shoot (with different instruments), and traditional clothes (my favourite qipao), or fashion shoots ^^. Really looking forward for it to happen!

Sacchin wore a navy sailor themed blouse so our outfit kinda matched! We should have taken full both OOTD pictures though.

 



Melur and thyme

We rushed for lunch right after the shoot as the food in Tokyo Pastry is just '...'. Wanted to try out Harrod's Cafe initially but Sacchin prefer something heavier for lunch. We ended up with Melur and Thyme just opposite Harrods. 

Sacchin's order was great! Carbonara fettucine with duck meat. The pasta was creamy and the duck was tender, I regretted so much for not ordering.

 



My beef foie gras burger. Meh...Not nice at all. The beef patty was dry, foie gras not nice also sobssss, and these were not cheap kay, wasted my money. Should have ordered pasta instead.

 

We spent around 2 hours in the restaurant, eating and of course, taking selfies haha. We took loads of them~ Not gonna post all la, quite impossible and you guys will be bored seeing us with the same poses over and over again.

 



Ok. Lima cukup.

 

We went to shop for books at Kinokuniya after our meal. Spent quite some time here coz I can't just make up my mind on what books to buy. Sacchin had to walk round and round the bookstore with me, soooo sorry!!

 

Ended up with two photography/modelling books, two business japanese books and one Zipper magazine ^^.



And then it's going home time sobs. Time always seems to go faster when we are having fun. We did shop a bit at Avenue K before taking the train back though. And Sacchin bought her Old Chang Kee finger food as dinner.

Thanks thanks thanks for everyone, family and friends for always putting up with my activities and spent their precious time with and for me~
