How Do I Look? Asia Season One Arrives on Diva

When I saw the preview of ‘How Do I Look Asia’ on Asia TV last 2 weeks ago, I was truly excited. I’m sure many of you are familiar with ‘How Do I Look’ makeover show, and now we have our own Asia version!

As a Clozette Ambassador, I had a chance to join ‘How Do I Look Asia’ roadshow at Publika last Sunday. 

Not only that, I also had the opportunity to meet Jeannie Mai and  Sazzy Falak at the media launch and of course I took the opportunity to take a picture with them and the emcee of the event, Patricia K.

As spoken by Jeannie Mai during the launch: ‘Style is not looking what’s trending outside now. It’s about your own personality, feeling, what music you listen to. Fabric, colors that made you happy etc’.

Billed as “Asia’s ultimate fashion fix,” How Do I Look? Asia will make its debut on Monday, 31 August at 8PM on DIVA (Astro Channel 702, DIVA HD 723), NBCUniversal International Networks’ leading entertainment channel for women in Asia. It’s time to go head over heels for DIVA’s How Do I Look? Asia – the highly anticipated Asian re-imagination of the hit fashion makeover series.

The NBCUniversal International format, produced by NBCUniversal’s Matchbox Asia, follows Malaysian celebrity and style icon Sazzy Falak as she guides eight fashion victims to the path of fashion enlightenment. Jeannie Mai, host of the original U.S. version, and a familiar face to Asian viewers, features in each episode, setting up the fashion challenges each week.

The fashion-challenged victims include onesie-addict/ blogger Apple (Philippines); indie rock guitarist Ariana (Malaysia); mismatch, mishap/ watercolor artist Choc (Taiwan); sales executive, and literally “plain” Jane (Philippines/Australia); overachieving, yet outdated, Lavinya (Malaysia); rebel teacher Lianni (Philippines); romantically-insecure Maisarah (Singapore); and the uninspiringly-dressed motivational speaker Yessinta (Indonesia).

To achieve a professional look that can be replicated for the everyday, Sazzy will be joined by a guest stylist in each episode: Liz Uy (Filipina celebrity stylist); Zac Wu (Taiwanese celebrity stylist); Andrea Wong (former editor of Elle Malaysia); and Anindita Saryuf (fashion director of Elle Indonesia).

In each episode, Sazzy and an accomplice – a concerned family member, friend or colleague – will help transform the lucky fashion victim into a beacon of style.   After having their wardrobe raided, the individual will have their current fashion choices face the “Eww Tube”, one of the iconic features of the original format. The “Eww Tube” is a vacuum cleaner-like machine that literally sucks offending outfits up and away after they have been eliminated by the panel of fashion experts and accomplices.

The fundamental of a good skin begins with clean face. Cleansing our face from the layer of make-up we applied as well as other impurities that builds up on our skin throughout the day is crucial as it could help us restore our skin’s moisture. Serious damage can happen to our skin if it is not being taken care in a proper manner.

Recently, Eau Thermale Avѐne has introduced their improved version of Eau Thermale Avѐne Micellar Lotion Cleanser and Make-up Remover. Avѐne Micellar Lotion is now enhanced with make-up remover power but still extra-gentle in formula, which is suitable for normal to sensitive and even redness prone skin. 

I have once accidentally squeeze the product into my eyes but thanks to its’ extra gentle formula, my eyes were not sting at all. It is efficient to remove my make-up but I would need to reapply for waterproof makeup.

Enriched with higher concentration of Avѐne Thermal Spring Water, this no-rinse formula lotion gives a soothing sensation and anti-irritation benefits to our skin.

It is also uniquely formulated with moisturizing ingredients like Hydrophilic Gel and Glycols to hydrate our skin leaving it softer, smoother and suppler. It is Alcohol-free, Paraben-free, Oil-free and Preservative-free. Overall, this is a good make-up remover and is really gentle to the skin.

Hair Review: Brazilian Keratin Treatment at Daisuke Salon

My hair is dry and frizzy due to frequent dye, I always longing for smoother and straighter hair, and I have done almost all sort of hair treatments but the results is short term, most of them only last for a few wash. Thankfully I found a long term solution recently, which is the Brazilian Keratin Treatment. I didn’t know why it took me so long to try this out, but I would like to thank Daisuke Salon for sponsoring me this wonderful treatment that is perfectly suit my hair concerns.

Hate my frizzy and dry hair!

Brazillian Keratin Treatment or BKT in short, is originated from the USA. The products used in Daisuke salon are also direct import from the State and does not contain harsh chemical ingredients. The whole treatment process was quite relaxing partially due to Daisuke Salon’s bright and spacious environment, plus relaxing music that they played.

The impurities from my scalp was washed off with CO2

To kick-start the treatment, the stylist washed my hair using CO2. I enjoy the CO2 hair wash a lot, and the best part is it washed away any impurities. Then my hair cuticles were opened up and ready to the Keratin treatment.

My stylists blow dry my hair until about 75% dry, and then they brushed the Keratin lotion into my hair gradually, part-by-part. After that, they used the ultrasonic iron to penetrate the Keratin Lotion into my hair. Don’t be alarm with the red light of the ultrasonic iron, it is not hot at all.

Explore Your Kids Creativity and Craftsmanship in Kids Jewellery Workshop

Ever since my girl made her first customized Jewellery at BBQ party, she is addicted to making her own Jewellery. I find that she has benefited a lot from Jewellery making; her creativity, motor skill and visual perceptual skill have improved a lot. 

Hence, when I knew that EJS Jewellery Studio(EJS) held the kids Jewellery workshop at Kinokuniya KLCC, I immediately signed her up in the month of June.

On the cloudy Sunday morning, we head to Suria KLCC after her Yamaha class. The 2 hours Jewellery workshop was a steal, it cost only RM 49 per pax with all the materials supplied by EJS Jewellery Studio. The workshop was conducted in a small class basis, maximum 8 kids per session.

My girl had learnt how to make wired jewelry in the workshop that day. Angie, the beautiful owner of EJS Jewellery Studio and her assistants taught and guided my girl patiently on how to design and make the jewelry throughout the workshop.

My girl wore her customized Jewellery immediately once they are done. I am proud with her piece of art.
