Family Gathering at Tiara Labuan Hotel

On 29 March 2013, we had a family gathering at Tiara Labuan Hotel. That night, we were having BBQ buffet dinners. Like usual, we like to take a photo as a memory. Above picture was taken with my lovely cousins.

Loreal Paris Lucent Magique BB Cream (Sample)

Loreal Paris has launch a new BB cream with Magic BB capsules that self-adjusts to every skin tone.

10 in 1 benefits:

1. Minimizes pores

2. Smoothens skin texture

3. Covers spots

4. Reduces the appearance of fine lines

5. Evens skin tone

6. Luminous finish

7. 24 HR hydration

8. All-day comfort

9. Light-feel texture

10. SPF 20PA+++

When I squeezed out the BB cream, I quite surprised because it was in white color with some micro-capsules (normally the BB cream that I used was like brown color). When I used it on my face, it automatically adjusts to my skin tone. When I removed it using wet tissue, it was in brown color. *Amazing*

This BB cream did not fully cover up my redness acne and I need to use concealer or my previous BB cream for final touch up. I think this BB cream is suitable for flawless skin which just needs a little bit touch up.

European Blend Coffee (Drip Bag Coffee)

This coffee sample is a drip bag coffee which I received from Brook's Cafe. This was my first time to make a coffee using coffee drip bag. I just knew that coffee also has its drip bag to make it. (Before this, I only know about tea bag)

It was easy to make.

The coffee bag is look like this (as below). It has card in wing shape which you need to open it.

After open the wing of drip bag, it will look like this.

Then, tear off the coffee bag.

After that, hook up the coffee bag by using the "wing" to your cup.

After this, pour the hot water into the drip bag and the water will mix with coffee powder to become coffee.

Enjoy the coffee after remove the drip coffee bag.

When open the package of coffee, I already can smell the coffee without making it (strong aroma). I like this coffee because it has well bitterness which matches with my taste (This coffee did not as bitter as other coffee that I drink).

Learning Japanese

I had received a postcard from Japan with some Japanese word that I did not see before.

I have not learning Japanese before so I did not know what is the meaning of that word (as below). 

After unsuccessful getting answer from my friend and family, I decided to try on my own effort with the help of internet. When searching, I had found out Virtual Japanese keyboard which may help a lot to me so I give it a try.

I was spend some time in explore the word before type in because all the word look like same.

After finish with typing, I copy the word to Google Translate to see the meaning of that word. Finally, I had found out the meaning of the word which is “Will do my best”. (If I not mistaken)

Virtual Japanese keyboard enables you to easily type Japanese online without installing Japanese keyboard. You can use your computer keyboard or mouse to type Japanese letters (Hiragana & Katakana) with this virtual keyboard.

Matcha Cappuccino (Cantafe)

I had received my coffee samples (Matcha Cappuccino and European Blend Coffee) from Brook’s Cafe. Brook’s was established in Japan in 1968 which offering to the customer coffee, tea and many other food products by mail order.

In this post, I will sharing for Matcha Cappuccino. 

Based on Wikipedia, Matcha @ 抹茶 (as above) is referring to finely milled or fine powder green tea. It is a fine ground, high quality green tea and not the same as tea powder or green tea powder.

This sample is a type of powdered drink mix. It was so special because Matcha + Cappuccino = Matcha Cappuccino. Cantafe is sweet and tasty.

The ways to make it (as below): 

It will look like this.

This Matcha Cappuccino did not has any bitter taste or cappuccino taste in it.  It has creamy texture with rich aroma of Matcha. When drink this, you must slowly drink so that you will feel the taste of Matcha Cappuccino. 

Make Me Feel WANTED

Do you ever think of the WANTED poster also can be so sweet too…..

If you did not believe, try to look at below MMS which I received from Hotlink.

Kanebo Freshel Whitening Lotion (Sample)

This whitening lotion (Light) quickly penetrates into the keratin and leaves the skin light and smooth. It formulated with a fruit acid mixture that provides a generous amount of moisture that gently softens the surface of stratum corneum which dries and hardens after exposure to UV rays.

As you can see, this product is come with (L) or Light types so the lotion is very light just like water. I can see the lotion was absorbed quickly to the skin without leaving any tight after using it.

This product formulated with the natural ingredients from Oak tree. It removes oils and all dirt and deeply clean the pore which leaving the skin cleaner with less visible pores.

How to use

* Do not use more than twice per week.

After peeling, it will be like that

For first time user, you will feel the pain when peel the mask off.  When use it for some times, you will feel painless compare to first time.

Do you have spot out the wrong with this picture of a giraffe?

This is the kind of thing that you see right away or not at all.

The answer as below:

Sondno Collagen Peptide Serum

According to Reborn Asia, apply a collagen serum to your skin each day can dramatically transform the structure and appearance of your skin.

However, protein molecules are too large to absorb through the epidermis (outer layer of skin). As a result, they just end up sitting on surface of your skin until they are washed off.

Sondno Collagen Peptide Serum contains molecules as small as 800 DAL that will stimulate the production of natural protein inside your skin, making skin firm, flexible and elastic.

The texture of serum

The serum very fast absorb to my skin. This serum need to pour out when use it so need to careful because sometimes you will pour so much ~waste~
