If you were to ask me which part of my daily makeup routine is the most time consuming, not to mention the toughest, I would have say my eyebrows. I’m not sure if the problem is my skills or what but I’m sure many would agree that eyebrows are the toughest compared to the rest! It’s so hard to achieve a natural looking or even-looking eyebrows. At one point I gave up and just simply drew on my eyebrows, as long as the color matched my hair =(

To be honest with you I have tried a few eyebrow pencils but none of them can achieve very natural looking brows. You know, some eyebrow pencils will even make your brows look fake, as if it was drawn by crayons hahahaha * plays Crayon Shin-chan theme song.

Fortunately, after a lot of time and money wasted on failed methods, I finally found one that helps me to create a very natural looking brows, without looking obviously drawn on by pencil.

Ladies, let me present to youKATE Eye-Defining Eyebrow that is created with 3 shades of powder. 3 different shades to help naturally shade the eyebrows and nose bridge all in one palette!

I have denoted the colors as A, B and C for ease of understanding!

Step 1 – Use shade B to draw a straight line under the eyebrow, using the flat brush!

Step 2 – Mix shade A and B with the flat brush and fill the space between the brow shaded line.

Step 3 – Mix A and B with the rounded brush and give a final touch to the eyebrow, making the inner corner darker!

Step 4 – Use Shade C with the rounded brush and brush on the side of the nose!

The brush that is shown here is a special limited set that comes with the Kate Designing Eyebrow palette – so if you have your own flat and round brush, that works too!

Wasn’t that easy? Drawing perfect eyebrows is no longer rocket science to me or you! Well, since I will be heading out later, I shall just complete my whole day look and share with you guys!

For my everyday look, I usually prefer to go with natural orange brown and nude gold from KATE Trap Impacts Eyes eyeshadows (BR-2). I’m quite bad in mixing eye shadows for my eyes because they never turn out nice so I always go with KATE Trap Impact Eyes as it comes with very simple instructions on their packaging.

Step 1- Lightly spread shade A over the upper eyelid with your fingertip.

Step 2- Blend shade B from the inner corner, out towards the crease using the finer tip of the applicator!

Step 3- Apply shade C along the upper eyelid edge and spread it upward, blending it with shade B.

Step 4- Apply shade D to the inner corner with the larger tip

Step 5- Spread shade E over the lower eyelid with the larger tip

Step 6- Using the thinner tip of the applicator; apply shade C on 1/3 of the lower eyelid from the outer corner.

Please take note that step 4- 6 is optional when you’re doing everyday/ natural look because I usually apply step 4- 6 if I’m going out at night or attending an events. Shade D and E are in gradation color shades to the lower eyelid to help to achieve your eyes look vertically larger.

KATE Tokyo has seriously put a lot of thought into our Asian girls’ need when it comes to makeup no wonder they are the NO,1 sales in Japan for more than 13 years, hands down on that!

After I’m done with my eye shadow I will move on to eyeliner. Today, I’m using KATE Super Sharp Liner.

The thing I like most about this is that the tip is very fine, and will help create a thin line for the natural look.

Who doesn’t like the effect of double eyelids? The sharper it gets the wider your eyes look. The god of all double eyelids, KATE Double Eyelid Remake Liner, it only comes in one color, which is a super pale brown to match most of our skin tone.

The step is pretty simple, you just need to draw a small line at the end of your double eyelid (outer corner) to help extending your natural double eyelid line. Simple step like that will help to create a sharper and wider-looking eyes. This concept is a very new concept in creating a more define-looking eye makeup, and I am impressed with the idea behind this product!

Look at the before and after effect! My eyelid are further elongated, and it looked very natural as though that is like my real eyelid length!

These are the main cosmetics that I use to create my daily look!

I’m done with my daily makeup and I’m ready to kick start a brand new day!

Chill ladies, I know it will be easier if there is a video tutorial for you girls so I recorded one just for you!! Check out my tutorial on how to achieve the perfect eyebrows with KATE Eye-Defining Eyebrow below!

Hey everyone! I thought it was about time to post another installment of #BoboRenovates as we finally went and bought pillows, carpets, and a coffee table for our house! Haha, we got a bit too comfortable and procrastinated on these items until we had no choice as we had many people coming over to visit!

Anyway, most of you have already seen my feature walls from my Instagram or Dayre posts, but I’ll talk about the process in length here.

First of all, we decided on the theme for our house would be a urban loft style so brick walls would be perfect. We wanted to go with red or grey bricks but in the end, decided on white as it would look cleaner and more modern.

We are using BK-3106 from Suzuka’s Brick Facade Collection (http://www.suzuka.com.my/product-category/brick-facade/). There are many colours and variations in the Brick Facade Collection and we went with this BK-3106 as the tiles have a raw, weathered look, instead of the usual clean cut look that is found on most brick surfaces.

The brick facade tiles are molded after real, worn and weathered bricks for the super authentic look, and they have texture that cannot be replicated otherwise! Besides that, they have corner tiles (L – shaped) for the corners of your walls so the overall effect is super realistic!

Here are some pictures of our living and dining room!

We decided to use an exposed wooden rack from IKEA to use as storage and workstation so the brick facade behind is exposed and uncovered. I like the mix of wood and brick textures!

Haha, The before and after picture of our dinning area and it shows you the overall effect of the tiles! If you look at the corner between the TV wall and the dining area windows, you can see the corner tiles.

By the way, we are using spot light tracks as our lighting instead of the usual down lights to make the lighting more industrial instead of a broad and even spread of light.

Another advantage is that I can use the brick facade as setting for product shots and even selfies!

OK, now so if you’re thinking, how do I learn more or choose the tiles I like?

Easy! Just take a short drive to their newly remodeled showroom in Klang! It’s just a 5-10  minute drive from the Setia Alam NKVE toll to give you an idea of how long it’ll take you to get there.

Their showroom is huge and split up to a few sections for different products and also showing how their products can be used in or outside of your home!

Besides brick facades Suzuka also specializes in concrete finishes, such as this Exposed Concrete Effect System. It is ultra modern and clean, and can be seen outside of many buildings in Japan.

We were really, really, tempted to do this instead but decided against it as our condo was not big enough! Maybe when we get a landed property, boooo.

Took home a sample board and if you look closely, on the sample board, the groove lines are filled with grey grouting. There are many variations you can choose from, for example, you can fill the groove lines half way, or even all the way to the surface of the tiles, in combination with grey or light grey or even white grouting, it will all bring about different effects when finished.

Just tell Suzuka the dimensions of your project, and they will be able to calculate how many boxes of tiles you need. In total we needed 14 boxes including corner tiles, and each box contains 48 tiles.

We also got a tub of their waterproofing coating because we were going to re-tile our bathroom wall.

First, our contractor laid down a layer of adhesive material, and then the tiles are laid one by one. This is quite time consuming and takes a lot of work, so make sure you let your contractor know what product you are using so he can quote you accordingly. You dont wan’t to get a cheap quotation and then only to find out at the end that it’ll cost you more!

Once all the tiles are laid, you just need to fill the groove lines with grouting and that’s it! We chose white grouting so the space looks much cleaner and brighter!

Last but not least, Suzuka is very kind enough to give my readers a special discount!

     “There is always room for ice cream!” Recently I have been craving to have ice cream and I have no idea why. I remember there was once I was craving to have ice cream so bad that I asked Jo to buy me a Magnum on his way home from work. Ice cream is the most satisfying and simplest form of dessert that can be had anywhere, no matter where you are.

My favorite ice cream has always been Magnum, so when I received an invitation from Magnum for their new launching of Magnum White Almond ice cream I was super excited! I’m a big fan of Magnum Almond, which is vanilla ice cream dipped in milk chocolate and almonds, yummmm! I’m sure the new Magnum White Almond will be equally yummy too!

Magnum White Almond launch was held at KL Hilton recently and the theme was classy white! Theme parties are always fun!

Reached there early so I get to hang out at the photobooth longer haha. My outfit makes me look like a Magnum White Almond because my top and bottom was white then I wore my nude colored heels so it looks like the stick itself hahha.

Having friends there make attending events extra fun and exciting! I was there with Careen, Sam and Hui Wen!

We just love to take pictures lol. Careen’s camera was super awesome, makes everyone look so pretty haha.

Everything was in white including the stage, super nice and classy.

Say halo to all-you-can-eat Magnum White Almond, OMG!

First thing to do was to grab myself one hehe.

Table setting was in white too!

Then I saw this giant Magnum in the center for the ballroom haha.

Dessert bar with balloons and lots of sweets!

A closer look of the dessert bar T__________T If only I have one for my birthday next month!!!!

Event started with a welcome speech by Mr Rakesh Mohan, Chairman of Unilever Holdings (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd.

Then Pure Indulgence Aerial performance!

White balloons dropping from the top, please ignore my fingers I was too excited lol.

Then catching up with the girls because Careen found out about the gender of her baby bump!!!

The food that was served at the event was by far the best I have ever had in any events! The Wagyu beef and also the creamy carbonara T_________T please bring me more bowls, thank you!

It was a fun night hanging out with the girls and enjoying the unlimited Magnum White Almond ice cream!

When I got home I decided to eat another one because I wanted to share it with Jo.

Magnum White Almond is made with smooth and creamy vanilla ice cream covered in a thick layer of quality Belgian white chocolate, with almond pieces!

I get to eat it before Jo does cox he was busy taking pictures for me lol.

It does feel good to have ice cream on hot day like we have in Malaysia!

Love my cute little Usb from Magnum too!

Thanks Magnum for the sweet invite!
