Journey to The Lost World of Tambun with ETS

Hi everyone!

Last month was a huge step for The Butterfly Project Malaysia as the community took 30 bloggers to a quick getaway to The Lost World of Tambun! A few posts will be coming up (that's right! one post is not enough!) to share with you on the journey to a lost paradise :) And towards the end of the posts, then I shall reveal the video of our journey hehe. This first post is the beginning; Journey to The Lost World of Tambun with ETS.

22nd September 2013
- Morning -

We gathered at KL Sentral at 7:30am. It's a good thing that it was Sunday, or else I would have to wake up at 4am just to make it lol. But I love that morning, the roads were clear and my drive there was smooth sailing. I came with my family, just becoz haha. Oh and I needed my dad's and bro's help to carry bags of surprises for the Butterflies that day *wink wink*

I didn't to have time to eat my breakfast at McDonals so I just tapau and eat it on the train. We took our seats and took some photos before departing.

I was really excited because I've never ride the train for long distance travel before (I thought my first would be from Kent to Paris hehe) but a ride from KL to Paradise in Malaysia with 29 awesome bloggers is definitely an amazing experience :D If you're thinking of hoping on for a quick getaway too, the fare from KL to Ipoh on Gold coach is only RM 35 for a one way ticket.

The train was on time and we started our journey at 8:05am. The butterflies were given some time to relax and get settled before the Butterfly Team reveals our Travel Survival Beauty Kit! We were packing the day before and I just couldn't wait to give them away! It has everything any girl need for travel. Wanna know what's inside the Travel Kit? Stay tuned for that post hehe ;D We were also given adorable cookies baked by our Mama-san's sister.

The ETS ride was very comfortable. The seats are spacious and has compartments, hooks and even a small table for food. Kinda reminds me of airplane seats. There were flat screen TVs however no sound but thats normal. We were entertained by Mr Bean The Animation Series the whole way haha. The whole ride was smooth and not shaking, only in the beginning but I guess you'll get used to it. The toilet was like an airplane one as well haha, although the cabin for the toilet was pretty hot. The train made stops along the way but it wasn't too long or dragging. With every stop we did a countdown to when we'll be arriving :D

And guess what we find waiting for us at Ipoh? We were welcomed by 2 awesome tour guides, Firdaus and Syawal from The Lost World of Tambun. I thought it was very sweet. I felt like we were VIPs haha.

Wonder what awaits us after? Stay tuned for more posts!

September 2013 Favorites; Makeup Month

favorites

Hi Everyone!

Last month, almost everyday I wore makeup. I think the only time I didn't wear makeup was when I when to The Lost World of Tambun haha. So last month, here are the things I grabbed for the most :)

1) Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Honey

For a lip stain this one is pretty hydrating but not so if you have really bad chapped lips. I still apply a lip balm before coz wearing it on a daily basis can still dry out my lips. I love the color of this, one to two swipes are enough for a natural "my lips but better" color. And it is pretty long lasting :)

2) Maybelline Pure Mineral Concealer in 02

This concealer gives a little higher than medium coverage, not full coverage though. I use it for my under eyes and blemishes. It does a pretty good job for in concealing my imperfections. As for the longevity, it needs to be set with powder so it can last up to 5-6 hours.

3) Arty Professional Face Color

I got this in MIVVA September Box. I love this so much that the printing on the surface of this product is gone! It says that it is a face color, so I'm guessing that it is a blush? That's what I use it for anyway haha. But I really do love it, it gives off the most natural color on my cheeks with a hint of glowiness. Down side is that it doesn't show up that well in photos but in real life it looks amazing! I also like the fact that it has a sheer finish, and no matter how much I packed on my cheeks it still looks natural. Good product on the go ;)

4) Benefit Hello Flawless Powder in Honey

The reason why this is in a pan instead of a case is because I bought it in the Benefit How To Look The Best At Everything Kit in Medium. The other products in the kit is detachable except for this powder, which I dug it out myself lol. I does give a flawless finish to the face. It has almost a full coverage without looking cakey. However, sometimes I find that this powder can be a little to pink for my skin tone.

5) Rachel K CC Cream in Neutral

I like this CC Cream as a base. I don't like to wear it on its own just because it does not cover even the redness on my face very well. As a base, it gives my skin a healthy glow and my skin looks more radiant. I personally don't like "glowing" skin but I love the effect after I put on my Benefit Hello Flawless Powder over the CC Cream. I get the radiant skin plus the matte finish I love ^^

That's it for today, thank you for reading. Until next time! :)

Tea Party with Ms Rosy at Angelic Tea & Scones House

Angelic Tea & Scone House

Hi Everyone!

A while back, I had the pleasure of sipping tea with a very fair lady. Ever since her named was mentioned to me I've been seeing her everywhere, wondering to myself who is this fair lady by the name of Miss Rosy? One lucky day, I received an invitation to join her for tea at Angelic Tea & Scones House :)

Angelic Tea & Scones House is a vintage whimsical place. I have never seen such a beautiful, well decorated place. You can't help but feel girly once you've stepped in. I almost didn't want to come because that day was actually my birthday and I wanted to go out and celebrate hehe. But I am very glad I came, with the magical feel of the event, combined with makeup products on every table, it was like the perfect way to spend my birthday ^^ Thank you to everyone for singing me a birthday song, twice! :D

The event is to introduce us who is the enigmatic Miss Rosy and what she is about. I already guessed she is the ambassador for L'Oreal White Perfect skincare range. I was wondering if there is a person behind the curtain, a concealed start, waiting for her debut. Or is she a cartoon-ised version of a real person? Turns out, she is the later, but not a version of A person, she is a vision of all women of Asia. You can check out what Miss Rosy is really about in the above video :)

What do I think about Miss Rosy? I really like the concept used. The idea to represent women in general is great, instead of the normal way of using a celebrity as the ambassador. I also like the face that they give a back story for Miss Rosy, it makes her for alive in a way, being something we all can relate to. And I also really like that they make her interactive with her app on facebook which you can see here https://www.facebook.com/lorealparismalaysia/app_204167516416726. It's interesting and it's a new breathe of fresh air in my opinion, because we can't interact with celebrity ambassador before :) If you want to know more about Miss Rosy, I've posted about her here.

Continuing with the event, After we were introduced to Miss Rosy, we have out tea time. It was then we were informed that the tea house is a vegetarian restaurant. I was afraid I was not going to enjoy the food and might be starving for the rest of the day, but I was so wrong. The food was delicious! From the savory to the sweets, it was heaven with every bite. That's why I love that place so much. Sabrina commented that it is hard to find a restaurant where it looks breath taking and at the same time the food is delicious. And I couldn't agree more!

After tea, we had free time to try out the makeup products, skin care and nail polishes which are not out in stores yet! There were 4 more stations, they were the hair and make over, craft, cartoon self portrait and the photo station. I just stick to makeup & hair station haha. My eyes just won't look at anything else! xD I also had the chance to interview Melissa & Ashely Liew about Miss Rosy. I also had the privilege to talk to L'Oreal Managing Director Saki Goh.

I did a hair makeover :D

I was happy to spend time with bloggers who I now call as friends :) It was such a great birthday. Opps I meant event haha. It's the same thing actually for me ^^ Thank you to The Butterfly Project & L'Oreal Paris Malaysia for the invite. And unexpectedly made me enjoy my birthday :)
