So here’s the challenge: Encourage and inspire your child to add unique touches to the iconic Heartlake City by designing the next hangout place where your child would like to share friendship moments with best friends!

Beauty Review: KOSÉ Lip Gel Magic

Look what came to our mailbox last month, the highly rated KOSÉ Lip Gel Magic! Thanks to the secret santa for sending the lovely packaging to our doorstep right before Christmas. 

KOSÉ Lip Gel Magic

According to KOSÉ, the Lip Gel Magic is KOSÉ most powerful lipstick coating gel up to date. With one single swipe, the maximum-strength lipstick top coat gel protects our lip colour from fading, even after drinking or eating.

Since KOSÉ is a well-known brand from Japan, we can’t wait to give this new product a try. As the product’s name itself which sounds so magical. We love its lovely petite tube packaging a lot, which made it easy to carry around in our toiletry bag.

KOSÉ Lip Gel Magic contains a unique color migration prevention ingredient, which is fluorine coating powder that creates a gel film over the surface of our lips, thoroughly coating the lipstick to precent it from migrating onto other surfaces. The super lasting ingredient latches onto the lipstick color and holds it in place to precent smudging. Not only that, it also contains moisturizing ingredients such as Squalane and Hyaluronic Acid to keep our pout kissably-soft.

Wong Wok by Chef Wong has started operating since early Dec 2016. It offers the food cooked with passion and meticulous demand, a Hallmark of a diva chef.  Let’s see what Chef Wong has to offer;

Fried Crab Noodle – Our lunch started with this delicious crab and noodles stir-fried in chef’s special sauce. Silky soft noodles with oodles of savoury sauce and spices, simply yummy.

Chilli Crab – Stir-fried live crabs coated with sweet, savoury and spicy tomato based sauce. We love the juicy fresh flash of the crabs, and the thick, slightly spicy sauce. We recommend eating the chilli crab with deep fried buns.

New Year . New Scent . Scent Maker

It’s the start of a brand New Year, have you made your New Year resolution? For me, I wish for a healthy, happy and eventful of 2017. Meanwhile, I am also start using the new perfume from Scent Maker.

The Scent Maker is a bew brand in Malaysia, hence let me share with you the story of the brand. Scent Maker is about the story of the perfumer. A travelling alchemist, a 3rd generation perfumer, crossing deserts, oceans and terrain. In search for definition of himself, each scent is a chapter, and each chapter a new journey. The perfumer picks up new smells and stores them in his mind. Each scent, has a smell and a memory that goes with it. He keeps scents he has smelled in volumes and volumes of books. Each scent a chapter, and each chapter a new journey, each drop of scent defines him, his creations with emotions and passion.

Over time, the perfumer translates his feelings into an olfactive language, mastering the art of conversation. Since he can chose how he wants people to react to him, he can therefore create the World around him.

The master craftsman of his World, he will be treated how he wants. People react based on the scents that he chooses and how he chooses them to experience them, while the memories and emotions that develop from experiences define him.

The final chapter of an obsessive story, an entrance to a new olfactive world. The birth of the Scent Maker, and scents of his success. Every Scent Maker fragrance represents a different journey, memory and story of the perfumer. 

Scent Maker believes that “Scent is a Memory”. Let me introduce you 2 of their perfume from their collections below;
