Lunasol Spring Sandy Beige Purification Makeup Collection 2014

At the previous Kanebo's anniversary event I also managed to check out Kanebo Lunasol Spring Makeup Collection 2014. Although this has been made available on the counter since early January however I do not think there is a media launch for this hence there is a lack of news of this collection. So I will be sharing some of the pictures & pricing of this Lunasol Spring Sandy Beige Purification Makeup Collection 2014 here.

Lunasol Sand Natural eyes has four colour eyes shadow set that consists of beautiful monotone colours, as it cut from the scenery of sand. All colours meltingly blend with the skin, and the overlaying exquisitely accentuates. the natural contours of the eyelids for a dramatic look.

Expedia Partner Appreciation & Award Event

Wondering if you all have notice my blog header quote 

"I'm living in the Box, I'm jumping out to see the world." 

Have you ever wonder what is the meaning of it ? 

I think that I'm living within the 4 walls .. don't know how does the outside world look like and after my trip to Phuket I decided that I can't wait to "jump" out to see the world.

Can you all guess where are all these places ? 

NO SECRET that I got addicted with travelling - everyone around me knows that!

Because I paid for my own holidays - no one sponsored me or anything! I got to properly plan my financial - on how to maximised my money so that I could travel more places. 

And people always asked me how come I can travelled so often, my answer to this is very simple. 

I ALWAYS HUNT FOR THE BEST DEAL, be it air tickets or hotels. 

And honestly internet is the best place to hunt for best travel deals, because travel agent will normally charge you a fee. My boyfriend and I are travel deal hunter... we do not splurge and buy expensive air tickets or stay in expensive hotel (unless they have great promotions!)

 And Expedia is one of the website that we always surf to look for the lowest travel deals. After all they are one of the world largest online travel company.

And just few days ago I was at their Expedia Partner Appreciation & Award Event. The event was attended mostly by hotelier and their business partners. And it was interesting to know how our local Kuala Lumpur travel market is as there are few speakers from Expedia who fly in just for the event to share their expertise. 

Quite a surprise to find out beside our Singaporean neighbour, Malaysia is highly visited by people from Australia, Japan, UK & US. Hehe moreover this year is Visit Malaysia Year 2014, hopefully we will have more tourists :)

 Irene Low & Suneet Nigale talk about the current market trend.

According to their research, more and more people are owning smartphone hence the mobile apps is the new thing now. And if you don't know yet, Expedia has a mobile apps too!

And they shared that just Valentine's Day alone this year, after 10pm there are a big shoot up of hotel booking via Expedia mobile apps. Well mobile apps are great for last minute booking yay! 

And Expedia runs great marketing promotions all year long,. And like the Thailand Sale, RM353 includes flight & hotel for 3D2N is ...is really a good deal! 

Oh so many speakers, I enjoy Ms Katheleen Tan, CEO of Airasia Expedia one the most. She gave a very inspiring speech and share how she started her career from pr agency, fashion, music, aviation and end up now in online travel agency. She was one of the pioneer to help Tony Fernandes to build up what is AirAsia today. One amazing lady! 

And when she was asked to share the secret of success - FOCUS, PRIORITISED and GET A GOOD TEAM of employees to work with you. Besides that she said it's important to GET A LIFE & Enjoy what we are doing. 

And I would agree on that very much. Life is short and we would not know how we would live, so we should  enjoy every moment we had!

p/s: You realised Katheleen is AirAsia Expedia CEO ? That's because it's a joint venture company between Expedia Inc and AirAsia. AirAsiaExpedia oversees both Expedia and AirAsiaGo businesses across Asia Pacific.

And because of her work nature, she travels so much. And I have been folllowing her on twitter (@Empressrox) and instagram (@katheleentan) for quite some time.. and busy stalking her pictures. 

And being a social media influencer herself as she he has 300,000 followers, she said social media change today's market. And some hotels which she has stayed has gained some booking after they are being shared/promote on her instagram.

And I was extremely lucky that day..because before the event start we are told that they are 6 lucky envelopes under the chair in the hall and I so happened to be sitting on the lucky chair to won 3d2n stay in Tristle Hotel JB.

My luck does not stop there, when there is a Q&A session to win the grand prize (i.e a pair of tickets to Perth, Australia) I managed to answer how many followers Katheleen Tan has in Weibo ! How do I know ? Google lah....it is 283k of followers!

Must be the yellow power lah - cos Digi & Expedia also in yellow colour! 

And did you realised we are in both in blue! Blue & Yellow is Expedia colour :D

Just before the event ends, Expedia announced "Oscars" Award to give recognition to their hotel partners.

Top Producer 2013: Furama Bukit Bintang (200 and above rooms) &Pacific Regency Hotel Suites (below 200 rooms) 

Rising Star 2013: Aloft Kuala Lumpur Sentral (200 and above rooms) & D'Garden Hotel Kuala Lumpur (below 200 rooms) 

Most Engaged 2013 - Best Western Premier Dua Sentral 

Best Content 2013 - Traders Hotel Kuala Lumpur

We also had a photo opportunity with Katheleen Tan & a few others bloggers who attended the event. Can you see how happy am I ? Well I was asked by the photographer to pose a happy picture because I won two prizes!

Expedia was pretty generous and there are many others prizes to be given away as well and some of our friends managed to win that too! Congratulation to them too! 

So if you have not decide where you should go for holiday this year, you should try out this Vaccationizer helmet cos it would tell you where you should go next. HAHAHA ... 

Where in the World Should I be right now ?

Anywhere - as long as I have not been there! 

Looking at the dates, this is the best time to go to Japan to see cherry blossom! But this year I'm not going since I have been there twice.

I already had 3 holidays confirmed this year after I grabbed AA cheap air tickets during their promotion. And next week would be flying to Bangkok for a short holiday before my beach holiday in Boracay end of the month! At the later of the year, am going Myanmar with my friends. And all thanks to Expedia... am going to Perth too! Not forgetting Tristle JB hotel voucher too! Follow me on my instagram ( @jessyings )  or Facebook to see my travelling pictures !

Definitely would be looking at Expedia website to hunt for good hotel deals. 

Life is short guys, see the world!

Start your day right by eating right, get positive energy with MILO. Join Malaysia Breakfast Day Run 2014 in Putrajaya!

My parents always tell me you must have the breakfast if you want to have energy for the rest of the day. 

Do you know Breakfast is not just a meal but it's about starting your day with positive energy to help your body to perform its best throughout the day?

And many people thought that skipping breakfast will help to lose weight, but it's wrong because it will only worsen to your diet. You will feel more lethargic, blood sugar level will drop leaving you feeling easily distracted and causing mood swings. And end up you might eat more because of mood swing!

While Roti canai, mee goreng and nasi lemak is definitely delicious, but all of us know it's not healthy and too heavy for breakfast! So have a balanced breakfast instead with a cup of MILO that would better boost the energy intake! 

A good breakfast will simply means getting the Positive Energy which is derived from the perfect ratio of nutrients consisting of protein, carbohydrates and fats. It would provide our body with the much needed fuel to take on both physical and mental challenges each day. 

According to Ho Hau Chieh, Executive Director of Dairy Business Unit, Nestlé Products, “Fuelled by MILO’s determination and motivation to advocate Malaysians on the importance of a well-balanced breakfast, the day is part of its nation-wide nutrition campaign - ‘Positive Energy For Champions’ that aims to keep the momentum going as the healthy breakfast habit should be adopted actively and not just in the heat of the moment,” he says. 

"As an advocator of healthy living, we strive to reevaluate how the nation can adopt an improved view on healthy living and start practicing with little steps,” adds Ho.

MILO representatives holding different MILO products, as you know MILO comes in Powder form, 3 in 1 and Ready to Drink !  And I miss the MILO truck drink... it always seems to taste so much nicer! 

This year, MILO also hold their annual Malaysia Breakfast Day Run in Dataran Putrajaya on 20th April 2014 starting from 7:00 am. 

The event calls upon all Malaysians to come together as a family to enjoy the most important meal of the day and participate in physical activities together. 

Apart from the 8-km and 3-km runs, there will be breakfast meals available to all runners and attendees while conducting various interactive sport activities that will keep the whole family energized.

Kanebo Lunasol 15th anniversary celebration : Revealing Kanebo Lunasol 15th Anniversary Makeup Palette and Kanebo Lunasol Modeling Beige Skin

This year marks Kanebo Lunasol 15th anniversary and in Malaysia we have a celebration in  Kampachi a Japanese restaurant. I love how the dancer moves gracefully as she paints the backdrop.

We are entertained by Japanese Koto Music Performance

Beautiful Nadia Heng as the emcee

Do you know the meaning of LUNASOL?

Lunasol – which means Moon (Luna) and Sun (Sol) in Latin– plays on the concept of light and shadow, response and motion. It expresses the many faces and inner mysteries a woman possesses. Applying makeup is a ritual that lets a woman awaken her beauty within. With innovative formulas, Lunasol breathes life into skin as the makeup melts to accentuate a flawless complexion, draping your face in light and shadow for a brilliant radiance and perfect dimension.

CEO of Kanebo Cosmetics Malaysia Mr. Masahiro Yamasaki said that “Fifteen years is truly a landmark for a brand. We are delighted to celebrate this, but also to celebrate the many years we’ve worked closely with all our friends today in bringing the brand to where it is now.”

Highlight of the event was The Kanebo Lunasol 15th Anniversary Makeup Palette was officially launched.

Kanebo Lunasol 15th Anniversary Makeup Palette consists of a special eye shadow set commemorating Kanebo Lunasol's 15th anniversary, in which six beige colours have been collected, including reproduced colours and existing popular colours.

This Kanebo Lunasol 15th Anniversary Makeup Palette consists :- 

- 6 Full size beige colour eyeshadows

- 1 Full size duo 15th Anniversary Cheeks in Pink Beige

- 1 Full size Micro Finish Pressed Powder N in Sheer Beige SPF15-PA+ (Includes a puff )

- 1 travel size 15th Anniversary Liquid Lips in EX01 Pink Beige

- 1 travel size of High Stylized Mascara SV in Clear Black

- 1 original gold pouch

A close up picture of Kanebo Lunasol 15th Anniversary Makeup Palette

The first sight, I spotted the famous Lunasol Eye Shadow Skin Modeling Eyes 01 Beige Beige eyeshadow colour similarity in the makeup palette. Upon asking, it's true that Beige Beige has been incorporated into the eyes makeup collection. 

Note : The pic does not justify the product as the sunlight when I was taking pic.

Personally I have tried to swatch the eyeshadow and the texture is amazing. Very fine, smooth and pigmented . And this actually reminds me why I do like Lunasol eyeshadow very much.

Tutorial on how to use Kanebo Lunasol 15th Anniversary Makeup Palette

I was told that the palette could be deported and  the golden pouch can be reused.

Kanebo Lunasol 15th Anniversary Makeup Palette is priced at RM 368. Although this does not come cheap but considering that there are 6 full size eyeshadow colour, 1 full size blusher and 1 full size press powder make up for the price. The pouch and travel size mascara & lipgloss are add on value. Besides this a limited edition palette and honestly it would be a good makeup palette to own because all the colours in the palette is suitable for daily use and the quality of the eyeshadow is great. Their blusher itself also is really pretty too. And if this is the first time coming across Lunasol, well this Kanebo Lunasol 15th Anniversary Makeup Palette is definitely a good one to own as their Beige Beige eyeshadow colours definitely would not disappoint you. 

I was thinking to get this... so last weekends when I was at the mall and went to check for this. I was told it was out of stock the moment it arrived the counter as it was reserved by many regular customers, it gave me no suprise as this is a limited edition and definitely a good one to own. However I was told there are still a few scattering around. So you might want to check Kanebo Malaysia facebook to see where they are.

Besides the makeup palette, at the event Kanebo Lunasol Modeling Beige Skin SPF 30 PA++  was also launched. This is the first Lunasol base makeup product which is inspired by Beige Beige from Skin Modelling Eyes which was released in 2007. The product is thoroughly infused with the e effects of Beige Beige that naturally conditions the skin tone and texture while bringing out three-dimensionality.

The succulent light texture made from water and oil in a one-to-one ratio creates an ultra-thin film that becomes integrated with the skin, as if wearing a fine, translucent veil. This is a whole new multi-tasking base makeup that can be used alone or also be used together with your own foundation or makeup base. I have not tried the product yet because it is not yet available in store.

Kanebo Lunasol Modeling Beige Skin SPF 30 PA++  would be available in Malaysia at RM148 in all Kanebo counters (such as in Isetan, Gardens and Parkson)
