BEAUTY - FASHION - LIFESTYLE

As i promised!!! A post with details of the hotel where we (me and some aphrodites members) stay when we in Kuala Lumpur is here. Some of you already ask me through DM in instagram about the hotel, but since i already make a promise i share it here. So who excited to know more?!
Hehehe.. 
First of all lemme introduce you the hotel name, it's The Kuala Lumpur Journal hotel. 
Located in No. 30 Jalan Beremi, Off Jalan Sultan Ismail Bukit Bintang, 50200 Kuala Lumpur Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

As you can see above that this hotel located in the city centre within around 5 walking distance of the main business district, high-end luxury retail outlets and the city's major malls in Bukit Bintang. Such as farenheit, sungei wang, Lot 10, and Pavillion. Also just minutes away from the vibrant local nightlife, speciality bars and restaurants in the trendy Changkat neighbourhood and local food mecca, Jalan Alor. With excellent access to the monorail, LRT stations and bus networks make this hotel strategic.

The ambience inside the hotel also quite good, there're many instagramable spot thoo.. > <
One of the spot that catch my eyes when i enter the lobby was a lamp beside the receptionist.
Lobby
Oh ya, behind the receptionist there's a restaurant. The interior is pretty good, we're eating our b'fast there and we choose a table nearby window that get a sun light. Well, just for your information that the best lighting for photography is sun light. On the second day (on the first day we arrive in the afternoon).

Indoor restaurant
Outdoor
I choose "Big B'fast" : Egg (You can choose between scramble egg, pouch, sunny side up, omelette, half boiled, etc), Sausage, Red bean, and Tomato grill. For appetizer like salad, soup, fruits, bread are avail in the corner with the dessert, cereal and drinks too!! They have infuse water, juice, coffee, tea and milk even the soya milk. Pretty complete right?! Beside try the Big b'fast on the first day i also try their pancake. It's 2 layers of pancakes served with a strawberry fruit on the top of the pancake and honey sauce with some slice of pineapple fruits. It taste good, but probably cause of i ate it after eat severals food. It's already cold and a bit hard. :' )





The next day i eat English B'fast : English Muffin with egg pouch and ... For real the muffin size is a bit small, it's also hard to cut and eat. :'( I also tried their and it's too sour but i love the granola ^ ^.




After eat our b'fast me and Cynthian goes to second floor. We find Workers Union, Is an escape from the confines of the office. This unique work, social cum dining space combines industrial chic with eclectic details. Featuring three Studios designed for intimate meetings, The Gallery, a flexible space designed for small corporate events, private parties or social gatherings and Workers' Union Bar and Grill, a beer garden with a relaxed chill vibe. You can see below i holding a drink that looks tasty. Well, since Kuala Lumpur weather / climate not far from Indonesia which's hot. They give us a fresh drink~ Taste Sooooo Gweeedddd!!!! You should try this babess... But, I'm so sorry i forget to ask what the name of it. :(










Not just pretty in the day in the night this place's still beautiful!! There's many lamps and you can enjoy a live music on the weekend too~
Well, on the second day we ate our dinner here. They serve us many foods. You can see on the 2nd Pic there's a guy beside me, he's the manager of Food and Beverage. His name is Jimmy. When we're stay in here, he's the one who in charge to make sure we got enough food and he also the one who make a cocktail for us!!! 
It's taste So Goood!!! ALL of us really enjoy it~






Take a look a bit closer to our food for this dinner ^ ^
They serve us plenty!! Even we're just 5 girls here.. :P
Overall all the food was good, but our fav is the pasta!!!


Beef Ribs 
 The texture is tender, they cook it very well!  It's easy to chew and swallow~ Taste very sweet but since we pour the lemon so there's a bit sour on some of the part.



Salmon grill
A bit taste fishy, well it's fish anw. Hehehe, anw they also cook it well. The meat soft and the taste not very strong. I didn't eat the vegetable so i dunno what the taste if it. About the sauce it's also not strong. Just sweet with a bit salt.

Grill Chicken
 I love the meat texture, they cook it perfectly. It's Juicy and i like how it melt in my mouth. But the spices and the sauce not really there. I mean i cant taste it, i think they didnt put much on this. :(

Salad
 Since i didn't like eat salad, i didnt tried this. But all my friends try this and they said the taste like a usual salad taste. But the amount of the salad are many! prob you can get enough with this one bowl (if you're do a diet) :P

Satay Malaysia
 They serve this satay with peanut sauce like Indonesia does, but the differentiation between the satay is the taste. In Malaysia the taste was really sweet even the satay and the sauce too. In Indonesia it's more to salty and the sauce is sweet. Then about the meat for me, there's no difference. both of it taste good. :) And you can see there're 2 kind of satay that they served above. I though the other one (white) will be spicy, but when i taste it. It does taste spicy but still the sweet taste more dominant.
Well, i guest Malaysia people like sweet food. :)

Aglio Olio 
 I already mention before that our fav among all the food is the paste. Well, this 's true. All of us really like their Aglio Olio,even Carols who doesnt like Aglio olio said she love it!!!
The taste is perfect! Spicy and Salt well combined~ Ofc we're recommend you to try this one out. :)

Fries
Well, this one it's not made from potato. It's Guguma (in Korea), in Indonesia they say it Ubi, and In english we can say it .

Hmmm, I think that's all for the restaurant, food and bar. Now we're moving to the room!!!!! Wohooo~
There're 3 type of rooms that you can choose : Deluxe Twin, Deluxe King, and Superior Deluxe.
Since we're 5 persons, we got 2 rooms : Deluxe Twin and Superior Deluxe. 



Superior Deluxe
These 8 designer corner Superior Deluxe measure a spacious 34 sqm and come in two stylish designs. All Superior Deluxe have king size beds, ergonomic mattresses, pure cotton sheets with high thread count and duck down pillows, floor-to-ceiling windows, a dedicated lounge space, a 40" flat screen TV, rain shower, a functional workspace with free high speed wifi and plugged-in connectivity. Connecting rooms are available on request. Did us request it? YES ofc we request it~





Actually there're just a bit different from the Superior to the Deluxe Twin. The differentiation is on the size of the bed and the space. But for me who loves to took a morning vibes is more beautiful in here cause of the bed closer to window. 

Deluxe Twin
28 sqm with a queen size plus single bed. This room comfortably sleeps three. Features ergonomic mattresses with pure cotton sheets with high thread count, duck down and micro fibre pillows, floor- to-ceiling windows for plenty of natural light, a 40" flat screen TV, rain shower, a functional workspace with free high speed wifi and plugged-in connectivity.


Appearance of the corridor
If you ask me about the bathroom, it's same for both rooms. They have hair dryer, a bath set ( towel, sanitary, teeth brush, soap, etc). With pretty design and have a good light too. :)


But too bad, there's something happen :(
and I'm REALLY disappointed!!!!
The story is before we have a dinner, my new cloth a bit messy. I would like to use it for dinner, so i'm using the iron in the 910 (The Deluxe Twin) and there's something stick on the iron. Cause of i didn't check it before use it. It stick on my new clothes. :( 
Cause the colour of my clothes is dark green i can see the stain which's black. (-__-")
Well, i call the house keeping and he came to the room. i explained what happen to him, but you know what he's response? He said "so do you want another iron?"
What?! in that time i'm quite shock, are he didn't understand what i'm saying? I show him the iron and my clothes with repeating again the story. 
But he's like confused and still ask the same thing!!!!
Stress all over me..... > <
Then in the end after prob 15 minutes he said "I'll bring the iron, kind a leave the clothes tomorrow either in the room or in the receptionist". I though well, fine then and since i didn't have much time (cause of the dinner) i say yes and he go with the iron. 
In the next morning on the third day i leave my clothes in receptionist and tell Jessica Tham (Who in charge of the service of the hotel) about my clothes. She said she will took care of it and she bring my clothes with her. But another disappointed happen again!!!
In the next morning which's our last day she came the us when we're having b'fast and said that it's not their fault cause of i iron my clothes by myself not using their laundry services. 
All of my friends can't accept it. How came they said it's not their fault, it's their iron!!!????
And then she said she will ask to the GM (General Manager) about this and until the time to us to go to airport she didnt show up. When we call her, she said she on the meeting. And she meet us after we said we gonna leave to airport now but we're waiting her. 
In the end....
She contacting Mindy ask price of my cloth, then i sent her an email. BUT
UNTIL NOW THEY DIDN'T REPLY MY EMAIL. 
It's kind a sad :(

 Since the place strategic, good ambience, many instagramable spot but have LACK IN SERVICES.:( 
Hope this will helpful and might be a lesson for all of you who read this~
Anw Thank you for reading, See y on the next post babe. :)

This product is really up and coming in Thailand. Last year when I go to Thailand I saw many billboard of it. Not just it, when go to the convenience store I also found the product with a sticker on it written  “ Customer’s Favourite”. So what product it is??
It’s Namu Life Snail White Facial Cream


Namu Life Snail White Facial Cream a miracle nourishing cream that blends the snail secretion filtrate from Korea with essential natural plant extracts to achieve the specially formulated product. This product is special with outstanding quality of skin regeneration and recovery. They said the cream effectively helps to heal acne scars, redness, darkspot and inflammation, minimize pores, while simultaneously enhances intensive hydration and noticeable firmness.
Well, probably some of you already know or tried this product. When I do a search of this in the internet I found many good reviews and really want to try this out.  So here’s it~


Packaging
Both of the box and the packaging of the product dominate with white color and Fuschia color for the font this product really eye catching and give elegant feeling. Did you have same opinion with me?  Make sure the stamp is still new! In the one of the side of the box you can find the ingredients of the product and for the expired date can be seen on the bottom of the box.


For the packaging of the product is air less!!! This double protection cover to prevent dust and air get inside this tech make product in the inside last longer rather than if not use air less packaging. And since we didn’t touch the product directly make it hygienic.


How it work?
Apply only one pump of the cream sparingly onto your face and pat gently to let the cream absorb into your skin. You can use it both in the morning and at night before sleep.



You can apply it all over your face either in the morning before applying maek up or in the night before sleep.
Texture and Scents
White soft liquid, milky but not sticky. Easily to absorb by skin, it also have soft scents. U gonna like it. ^^


Effect
I use it in the morning after do my daily skin care ( Toner, Serum, Moisturizer) . Then I use the Snail Cream and I found out that my skin became more smooth and it also effect to my make up. So since this easy to absorb by skin I doesn’t have to wait long to start applying my base makeup. Just for info that this product also contains SPF – for protect skin from UV. And last but not least it’s for sure make my make up became more long lasting and I really love it. > <
I didn’t expected by using this make a huge difference to my skin.

So here my overall though about the product:

• Has SPF – for protection
• Quickly absorbed by skin
• Natural and soft aroma
• Hygenic packaging
• Make make up stay longer
• Brightening and Moisturize skin
• After put out from the box the tube easily to loose and since it’s push down. The inside product might be came out in the bag.
• Not on the go packaging
• We can’t see the amount product inside the packaging

NOTE:
Since this product is famous there’s many FAKE OF IT in the outside. That’s why you need to carefully buy in in the trusted seller. Since this product not yet have a store in Indonesia means we should go there or ask friend who go there to buy it for us. So I’M RECCOMENDED you to purchase it on Sociolla.  Definitely Original product and trusted. They also have several promotions and discount that you shouldn’t missed. I purchase some foreign products in there and really satisfied with the service too.
www.sociolla.com and you can use my code to get disc too~
So convenient isn’t? In one website you can found and buy many foreign products with reasonable price.
In the end of this post, I’m gonna say thank you for visiting and read my blog.  Hope this will helpful and kind a give a comments too~

Hello again!!! Let's talk again about beauty~ In this post i will talk more about the basic things, like How to choose the right Primer and Foundation. As all of us know that these 3 really affect to the result of the make up and a basic when you learn about make up. :)  First of all you should know which type is your skin.
There's 4 types of skin : Normal, Oily, Combination, Combination. 

Primer For Normal Skin
Actually this skin type is the best. Since can easily use any primer.

Primer For Dry Skin Type
Dry skin easily loses natural moisture, resulting in dry patches. Look for primary makeup that is hydrating, contains ingredients such as glycerin and hyaluronic acid, and additional vitamins for the skin.

Primer For Oily Skin Type
For makeup not to wear off, look for primers labeled mattifying. Primary makeup will also help keep the excess oil, so makeup does not quickly fade.

Primer For Combination Skin Type
In fact, the combination skin type does not require special primary makeup. But you need to choose what issues to handle with the primary. For example, if your skin is a normal-oily combination, use primary makeup that is mattifying only on the required part.



Then how about choosing Foundation? 
Here 3 things that you can do to choose the right foundation:

  1. The first step in choosing the right foundation is to know the basic color of your skin, because it will affect the color of the foundation that best suits you. The base color is not determined by visible skin tones, such as brighter or darker, but is categorized into three with the color of the blood vessels as a comparison, namely: cool, warm, and neutral. The basic skin color is cool for people with blue blood vessels. The basic color of warm skin for people with green blood vessels. Finally, the basic color of neutral skin for people with blood vessels that are not very blue or green.Usually, if exposed to sunlight, the skin of the owner of the basic skin color cool will look pink. And for the owner of the basic skin color warm, skin color will look bronzer. After recognizing the base color of your skin, whether cool, neutral, or warm, the next step of choosing the foundation is to choose the foundation with the color most closely resembling the base color of your skin.
  2. Do not choose a foundation whose color is one level darker or brighter than the base color of your skin, especially if the color is much darker or brighter. Because, if you choose a foundation that color away with the basic skin color, later when used your skin will be seen striped with other parts of your skin such as the neck and hands.
  3. Often if you visit the makeup counter in the mall or in other cosmetics stores, you will be given a foundation tester on your hands. This is less effective, because the skin color of the hand is different from the skin color of the face. Therefore, try the foundation directly on your facial skin. First of all, remove your makeup around your cheek or chin. After that, apply a sufficient foundation on the cheeks or chin that has been clean of makeup. You can also ask the shop keeper or better ask the beauty advisor there if any, they can help you choose the color of the foundation that best suits the basic color of your skin.


I've been using PAC Cosmetics Set lately. This set included Primer, Foundation and Loose Powder.


Packaging
All of the packaging have same tone " Black" Giving impression luxury. They really concern about the packaging and i quite like it. ^ ^





Step By Step to do


First. I apply primer

Another question that always been asked is it importance to use a primer? Why we should use it before applying make up?

"Primer softens fine lines and wrinkles, controls oil and gloss and creates a layer between your skin care and makeup," says American makeup artist Lori Beib as quoted from Women's Health Mag.

With the primer, the pores will be smaller. The glossy face is instantly matte so the skin is ready to be applied to the foundation. Foundation results will be more perfect in the face. Thanks to the primer, makeup becomes longer lasting.


Texture & Scents

It have soft and nice scents, i quite like it. Then for the texture it's a bit sticky but quick to absorbe by skin. 




Second, then apply the foundation using Beauty Blender (you can use hands, brush, etc).
Available in 4 shades:
01: For fair skin with pink undertone
02: For fair skin with yellow undertone
03: For brown skin with yellow undertone
04: For brown skin with red undertone .
I use no 01 the lightest shades of the foundation.




Texture and Scent

Well, it doesn't have any scent. The texture is like a water and when i apply it on my face it's became thick. Hemm, quite coverage but easily to fade. :'


The loose powder in the end for lock the make up.
Texture like usual loose powder, still doesn't have any scent. Easily to use and blend. Pretty good on my face. Lock make up and give matte finish~ This's also shade no 1.




All product above have Wrinkle technology, pore blurring effect & soft focus effect that can cover the deficiencies in the face so it looks perfect when using the camera even though the resolution is Ultra HD. No need to use apps to edit photos ~
Skin becomes smooth, light, but good coverage!!!
Well, PAC Cosmetics also have severals product beside primer, foundation and loose powder such as blush on, lipstick, eyeshadow, highlighter, etc. It also came in various colors!! just see more on PAC !!! ^ ^


And Read others Beauty blogger thought about this product on Surabaya Beauty Blogger ~
You will found Not just this brand, but you can found many beauty blogger with various product reviews!!



With Love,
