[Beauty Review] : Bobbi Brown - Powder Blush in Peony

Assalamualaikum and hello lovelies!

Oh my gosh!These photos has been edited for almost 3 weeks already and I totally forgotten to post about this blush. I might have overlooked this post as I have too many draft posts. My bad, my bad. -_- Anyway, without wasting any time, lets get to know my new baby, Bobbi Brown Blush in Peony that I got in my latest collective haul. :) I am not really a blush collector or a blush lover. Therefore buying blush is more towards necessity, meaning that I would only buy them if I need certain shade. I always make sure I don't have the same shade as I don't want to have 2 or more similar colours in my collection, especially higher end brands because they are expensive and I don't want to waste my money on the same thing. And there's this habit of mine where I have the desire to buy at least one blush from each brand because I want to try them all. I am slowly building up my blush collection, but I am pretty sure it's going to take a long time. :P

Bobbi Brown Blush in Peony is a straight up bright pink blush. It might not look as bright in the photos, but it is in real life. I wanted a pink blush because I want to have that fresh and radiant look without trying too hard. I've heard good things about this blush (but not this particular shade) from Essie Button, so I decided to visit Bobbi Brown and see it for myself. There were 16 shades but my eyes went straight to Peony. The silky smooth texture sold me. It is not chalky nor powdery. It glides on my cheeks smoothly and blends so well. It is a matte blush so if you love matte blush, go and try it out. I always prefer matte blush because it looks more natural on my skin.

The shade you see in the pan translates well when you swatch it on your finger. What you see is what you are getting.

You only need a little, don't go crazy dabbing into the pan because is pigmented. The key to have natural looking blush is to blend. Blend, blend, and keep on blending to get your desired glow.

I super love the blush. It gives me the fresh look and natural glow. But of course, I can always build it up for more flushed cheeks. Another pros about this blush is the longevity. It stays on very well on my cheeks, I can guarantee it stays at least 4 - 5 hours under our hot weather.

Hey Si Gadis Manis Malaysia

Whenever I go on holiday, the top things to do in my list is to buy souvenirs for my family and close friends. I would usually buy souvenirs for other people first, then I will shop for myself. But you know sometimes when you want to buy souvenirs for your loved ones, you are stuck and confuse and have no idea what to get them. The usual fridge magnets and keychain is old fashion and we really need to step it up. For example in Malaysia, if you need to buy a souvenir to represent Malaysia, where will you go to? I would say you most probably will go to Central Market, Kuala Lumpur because it is the hub for souvenirs. If you are looking for something different, then Gadis Manis Malaysia is the place for you.

Gadis Manis Malaysia is established in 2008 by a French lady named Florence Lambert Lee who has been living in Malaysia for the past 20 years. When I found out that Gadis Manis Malaysia is created by a French lady, I feel ashamed and proud at the same time. Who would've thought a non-Malaysian would appreciate our cultures and heritage more than us, Malaysian? We take things for granted just because we are born in the cultures and thinking that we don't have to do anything to preserve and cherish our heritage. But nevertheless, I am extremely proud that Florence has taken the initiatives to use Malaysian's cultures as her inspiration to create amazing designs in her work.

All of Gadis Manis Malaysia products are made in Malaysia from the designs,production and the final products. When we asked Florence why the name Gadis Manis, and she said Gadis Manis Malaysia refers to the Malaysian ladies in Malaysia. To make it sweeter, she included 3 real life ladies in her designs to represent the 3 major races in Malaysia which is Malay, Chinese and Indian. These 3 ladies, Yati, Ah Chik and Gowry are all important people she has met along her stay in Malaysia. Gadis Manis Malaysia products are unique because all of the products are combination from of traditional and modern Malaysian crafts. Crafted by established experts, Gadis Manis Malaysia products are inspired from anything Malaysian, from its costumes, festivals, architecture, food and so much more.

Gadis Manis Malaysia offers a range of unique design gifts and souvenirs such as apparels, bags, scarves and shawls and also accessories.Lets take a look at the available products at the retail store.

The small details on the buttons is simply adorable. These are the 3 ladies I mentioned at the beginning.

Selection of bags.

That is Royal Selangor Pewter my friend, no kidding.

This design is super cute, Gowry is golfing in her saree. :)

Ah Chik is water skiing in her cheongsam. :)

Notebook and organizers.

Hand painted mugs.

A selection of accessories. The lucky charms are called gula-gula charm, how adorable! They also have this adorable dollhouse which I accidently deleted the photo (urghh).

Songket from Terengganu.

I'm with the humble, down to earth and wonderful lady behind Gadis Manis Malaysia, Florence Lambert Lee.

I super love the entrance door, it really represents what Gadis Manis Malaysia is. :)

Gadis Manis Malaysia also specializes in corporate gifts with Malaysian twist to cater to any functions. Everything is customized to clients needs and wants and their design are exclusive for the occasions. If you are interested to find out more about Corporate Gifts, please contact :

But I'm going to attached that gula-gula charm at my charm bracelet. ^_^ I would like to say a big thanks to Florence and also to Debbie, Melanie and Samantha for having me at the bloggers gathering. I had a wonderful day getting to know the products and getting to all of you as well. Good luck in future projects! ^_^

Till then,

[Food Review] : The Burger Factory, Oasis Square, Ara Damansara

Assalamualaikum and hello lovelies!

I have been craving for good burgers lately and heck ya I need to find a good spot to satisfy my burger craving. I don't want the usual burger bakar Kaw Kaw because I have been eating that whenever I need my burger fix. No no, this time I want to try something new. I read a food review on Alyza's blog, and the burgers look good, so why not give it a try since I love trying out new food place. Welcome to The Burger Factory, your Burger and Chips Bar. It is located in Oasis Square, Ara Damansara.

I love the overall concept of this restaurant because of the 'open'ess of the place. I love it because I can see the overall look of the restaurant. It is spacious with creative decor. The chairs and tables are parts of recycled items and designed to fit the concept of the restaurant. For me it reflects the restaurant's authencity in keeping the interior simple, casual and artistic.

They even recycled the glass bottles as their lights.

They have a wide variety of food so you are pretty spoilt for choices. :)

Oh yeah, looking excited to munch on this burger.

I went there with my bf so we ordered 2 food only. I ordered the Bacon Razor (RM18.90)

You might look at this and thinking it is not so big, but I kid you not, I was struggling to finish it up.

The Bacon Razor comes with a black burger bun, 2 beef patties, beef bacon strips, lettuce, tomato, cheese and their special sauce. The beef patties is juicy and tender, you know it is home made and not your typical fast food burger patties. The burger patties is made out of 100% Australian beef. The beef bacon is crispy but it is a bit too salty for me. There's a unique taste of the cheese sauce but I can't quite figure it out. It is certainly not the type of cheese you would find on KFC Cheezy Wedges. The black bun doesn't taste different or weird, it's as same as the usual burger bun, only it is black in colour. It is soft and just melt in my mouth, and yes it is their own recipe. The lettuce and sliced tomato are fresh which provide that crunch and extra flavour of the burger. The burger does not come with chips or fries, but you can order it as your side dishes. The price you are paying is solely for the burger. I think the price is reasonable because of the large portion (again it depends on how much you eat because me personally don't eat much in a single seating). This time I gotta eat using fork and knife because the burger is too huge for me to be eaten with my hands and it is messy. But if you have larger hands maybe it's easier for you. haha :P

My bf ordered Volcano, priced at RM16.90. It has Jalapeno Peppers, sunny side up,pepperoni, beef patties and other stuff to make it spicy but my bf said it is not spicy at all. Nevertheless he said it was good and he was happy with except for the fact it is not spicy. He can eat the most spicy food and say it's not spicy, so I don't know how it would fare to other people.

They have a lot more choices in the menu, beef burgers, chicken burgers, hot dogs, pizza, pastas, snacks and such. I would definitely come back for a second visit because I want to try something else. ^_^

If you are in Ara Damansara neighbourhood, swing by Burger Factory and check them out. ;)

[Recipe] : Spaghetti with Lemon Garlic Cream

Hey everyone!

I wanted to share this easy pasta recipe with you guys. I got the recipe from watching Byron Talbott's video and of course I tweaked a little bit here and there. If you want the exact recipe of Byron's recipe, click here. :) This Spaghetti with Lemon Garlic Cream is a creamy but not too creamy type of pasta. I mean I can eat a lot of this. The creamy consistency is just right and the freshness of lemon really makes a difference. This recipe is perfect if you have any chicken leftovers. I uploaded a Baked Chicken Recipe last month, click that recipe if you want an easy and simple baked chicken under 30 minutes. Now lets get cooking!

Ingredients needed :

(SERVES : 2 -3 people)
200g spaghetti

1 tbsp of olive oil

1 clove of garlic (sliced thinly)

1 cup (200ml) whipping cream/cooking cream

Shredded cooked chicken (optional)

1/2 lemon (zest and juice)

2 green chili/cili padi (sliced thinly)

Basil leaves

Salt

Pepper

Methods :

1. Cook your pasta following the instruction in the packet. After draining the pasta, drizzle a bit of olive oil to prevent the spaghetti from sticking together.

2. In a pan, pour in the olive oil, garlic and whipping or cooking cream. Stir until it starts bubbling.

3. Stir in shredded chicken and cili padi. Sprinkle basil leaves, lemon zest, salt and pepper then stir for about 30 seconds.

4. Pour in the lemon juice and stir for a little while and taste the cream sauce. Add salt or pepper to adjust the taste.

5. Put in the spaghetti into the pan and mix well. Get it off the stove and start plating.
