The property market in Malaysia has been promising despite the crazy high prices.

Caters to the younger generation, The Leafz facilities includes swimming pool, gym and a multipurpose hall all situated on the rooftop. So cool...

Monster Pores No More with Laneige's All-New Mini Pore Range


Thanks to the popularity of K-pop and K-drama, Korean beauty is becoming increasingly popular around the world. All girls dream to have that flawless and poreless complexion, but excessive sebum and monster pores are the biggest deterrents. Apart from causing pores to enlarge, oily skins with overactive oil glands have also causes blockage in the pores which leads to inflammation within the pores. Without proper care, these pores can enlarge to become monster pores and over time they will eventually get larger and larger. Monster pores are 150% larger than normal pores on average and are particularly obtrusive. OMG!!!

Do you know flawless makeup in 2.5 seconds are no longer a dream? The answer to it, is the Laneige's all-new Mini Pore Range. Laneige's pore solution enables women to skip multiple preparatory stages of makeup application, which are often needed to conceal skin troubles such as enlarged pores, acne and blemishes. I am glad to invited to the launch of "Flawless Beauty with Laneige" held at Shangri-La, Putrajaya recently. We are introduced to the 3 key products of Mini Pore Range which are Mini Pore Waterclay Mask, Mini Pore Blurring Tightener and BB Cushion Pore Control.


Mini Pore Waterclay Mask 70ml (RM100)

A watery gel-type clay mask that works effectively to control excessive sebum, tightens pores and moisturise dry pores. It is formulated with Pore Minisizing, a formula which contains Mint Water to strengthens the skin's barrier by supplying moisture to the skin while caring for dry pores. It also contains Pine Needle Extract which prevents the enlargement of pores by controlling excessive sebum secretion.

Use once or twice a week after cleansing. Apply an appropriate amount evenly on the face, avoiding the skin around the eyes. When the mask dries up (in approximately 10 minutes), wash face with water and followed by toner to tighten pores. It is recommended to use with the sea sponge provided to remove the mask more effectively. The watery base mask is easy to apply while offering a moisturizing feel. Mask dries quickly without any feeling of itchiness or tingling effect and it also leaves the visible effect of reducing the pore size. After mask dries, the enlarged pores will be visible. 

The mud naturally extracted from the Shinan area, is the only 1st grade uncontaminated mud flat and also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The clay is known to have excellent sebum absorption with its fine particles and large surface area from its holes.




Mini Pore Blurring Tightener 40ml (RM135)

Mini Pore Blurring Tightener is all you need to control oil shine and tighten pores. It also works to blur pore lines and care for enlarged and dry pores caused by excessive sebum secretion. Also formulated with Pore Minisizing , Mint Water and Pine Needle Extracts to strengthens the skin's barrier by supplying moisture to the skin while treating pore dryness. Besides that, it also controls excessive sebum secretion to prevent further enlargement of pores.

Mint Water not only serves to provide moisture, but also prevents further pore enlargement by controlling inflammatory factors. With reduced inflammation, the pore size will also be controlled to prevent monster pores. Used as the last step of your skincare regime, the Mini Pore Blurring Tightener will boost the effects of prior skincare steps, control oil and sebum production and lastly, prevent pore enlargement from accelerating.



BB Cushion Pore Control

Formulated with Melia, Keratinase and Salicylic Acid that works to remove poison and waste (from excessive sebum and external pollutants) around the pores while at the same time improves the skin capability to defend the skin, preventing it from forming sebum oxidation and inflammation that can cause acne and blemishes.

The BB Cushion Pore Control also contains Tight Silicon Elastometer which is slim enough to gently fill up the areas in between the pores. It is also formulated with Soft Focus Powder that works to diffuse reflection, excellent for pore and skin bump coverage.


Currently available in 7 shades namely True Beige, Natural Beige, Sand Beige, Brown Beige, Coffee and two new shades which include Pink Beige (for a fair and pinkish complexion) and Cocoa Beige (ideal for darker skin tone).


Advanced 6 Multi Benefits with Only 1 Touch

  2. Pore coverage - Excellent coverage of pore and skin bumps with soft focus powder which diffuses light.
  3. Semi-matte finish - Powerful dual powder formula of anti-darkening and sebum control powder regulates shine for a fresh and supple-looking complexion.

After the product introduction, we are then divided into few groups and challenged to come up with a short video on our stories of "Flawless Makeup in 2.5 Seconds" using Laneige Mini Pore Range. I got teamed up with Chency (the famous Youtuber) Thinking out of the box, instead of videoing in the washroom, lounge, we head over to the pool located quite a distance from the hall. And so glad that our short video won us the 1st prize! Yay... bringing home more Laneige awesome products.

Happy faces of yours truly and Chency.

I had so much fun, thank you Laneige for having me.

US Potato Culinary Festival @ Rendezvous Steak Garden Restaurant,Subang Jaya



Hello! Still remember my previous post on the US Potato Culinary Festival?  Rendezvous Steak Garden Restaurant in Subang Jaya is one of the restaurant that took up the challenge of creating unique potato dishes. I was there for a food tasting session with my foodie pals few weeks ago and here are some of the dishes we sampled.


Escargot (1/2 dozen) RM13.80
Escargot served on a bed of magnificent garlic cheese goodness.


Potato Skin RM8.80
Again yet another cheesy goodness, this round with Potato Skin. Crisp potato skin with melted cheese filling definitely appetizing.


Curry Potato Mash (Not available in the menu, special order request)
Ohh... I love this very much. Rendition of curry puff instead of the usual pastry, it is replaced with potato. The curry mash potato is so smooth and full of flavour.



Fondue Chicken RM18.80
One of US Potato Culinary dish, Fondue Chicken is an interesting combination. Deliciously piping hot cheese all ready to be dipped into, with crunchy deep fried chicken, potato wedge, bun, boiled broccoli and sweet carrot. 



Rojak Buah
Fresh fruits and crackers drizzled with in-house made prawn paste sauce. IMO, the prawn paste sauce lack of 'kick'. 


Lava Chocolate Cake with Coconut Ice Cream
Soft chocolate cake with warm and gooey fillings. The premium ice cream definitely worth checking out.


Mini Cupcake
So pretty and tasty too. 


Tropical Fruit Tea
A tad sourish, this is a good detox tea rich in vitamins and minerals with combinations of lemon, orange, apple and passion fruit.

Visit Rendezvous Steak Garden Restaurant now, for an affordable and tasty food discovery.

Philips Launched KeraShine Haircare Range


Hey, ladies! Honestly, it's no secret that your inner diva dreams of walking out the door every morning with perfectly coiffed tresses, but then frequent styling can really hurt your hair. What if there were hair tools out there that combined hair styling with hair care? Philips has developed the new Philips KeraShine range and I'm happy to be invited to join the media launching last week. With the launch of the KeraShine range, now you can style your tresses without worrying about damaging your hair! 

Bringing hair care and hair styling together, the Philips KeraShine range offers the best of both worlds and creates professional-looking hairstyles for that salon-perfect look everyday. Be it silky straight for today, sexy curls for tomorrow's date or even wavy girlfriend's date, you can have a different style everyday!

Keratin is the magical component that keeps your hair looking sleek and sexy. Found in horns, hooves, claws and the baleen plates of whales, as well as our own nails, keratin is one of the strongest proteins. Made of long bendy peptide chains, keratin exists in hair strands -giving hair its supple, flexible texture and healthy sheen. It is also able to tolerate large temperatures fluctuations, protecting your hair from the biting cold or scorching sun.

Our hair's naturally positive charge makes the strands repel each other, giving it a frizzy look. Philips KeraShine styling tools feature a protective ceramic coating infused with Keratin for better care for your hair. The coating counters heat damage by feeding the hair with keratin even during styling, so you will always maintain a healthy level of keratin in your hair. Paired with the ionic care technology, it will help to give you smooth, glossy hair.


Philips KeraShine range of hair styling tools are infused with Keratin and Ions - the goodness hair needs.

Philips KeraShine Straightener HP8316/00 RM169.00
Phlips KeraShine Dryer HP8216 RM169.00
Philips KeraShine Heated Styling Brush HP8632/00 RM199.00

With Philips Kerashine range, we can style while care for our hair at the same time. Happy Miera and yours truly, trying out the hair appliances.

Bryan Teh of Chezz Technique Salon demonstrate to us, few hairstyles achievable with the KeraShine range. 

Philips KeraShine straightener, shine and condition for silky, smooth hair.
