Rakuten can be accessed at any time through desktops and laptops or on-the-go via mobiles and tablets.  

And one of my favourite fashion store in Rakuten is Luvclo because they offer plus size fashion. Personally I have bought some of the clothes from there before. The quality is quite nice and it suits me nicely. 

Can you believe their plus size blouse is RM18 and jacket is RM49 ? 

Shall take pictures and show you girls later on maybe on my instagram @jessyings

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)

Mercedes Benz STYLO Fashion Grand Prix 2014 opens with a Stylish Slumber last night!

Yesterday was Mercedes Benz STYLO Fashion Grand Prix, KL 2014 opening night. A Stylish Slumber featuring Men &... More Men theme was chosen as the fashion festival which is running into it's 7th year paying tribute to Men's Fashion at its opening event signalling recognition for a fast growing fashion demographic.

Mr. Roland Folger, President & CEO of Mercedes-Benz Malaysia said that "Mercedes-Benz always understand that couture and cars are a winning combination. This year we continue to push our partnership with STLO to present the best in fashion entertainment."

Datuk Nancy Yeoh, president and CEO of Stylo International recorded her appreciation to sponsors and media partner. She said that " This year we continue to dedicate one entire night to honouring men's fashion. We have a myriad of really good menswear and designers here and all they need is just better opportunities on important platform such as this. 

The fashion festival this year themed "Wearable Fantasies" started with ball rolling with a series of high profile, tongue-in-cheek styled men's fashion show with pyjamas being the dress code requested of the stylish set.

"Fashion's merely the excuse" is Stylo tagline, this fashion entertainment festival expanded its theatrics this year to include uniquely created cocktails as the Poppy Garden night spot is this year's venue of choice. A fashion cocktail bar took centrestage. Sexy "stylo-tini cocktails lined up the fashion bar backed by interesting bartenders and models who served dressed in pyjamas besides the uber fashionable props added further to the festival's appeal.

Joe Chia , Mercedes-Benz STYLO Young Designer runner up in 2009 opened the night with 02 - the symbolic number of his new line.

The symbolism of the number goes , in fact , far beyond. 02 reflects the philosophy of fraternity, which urges one to unite with like-minds and like-ideals. 01 is the meeting point of culture and the street , traditiona and music inspired by lifestyles whilst connecting people and ideas.

The Tom Abang Saufi brand is well-known for its designs with no zips and no buttom. On yesterday opening night, the Tom Abang Saufi Homme brand was introduced, a menswear line created for the men with an adventurous steak. Unforunately Tom Abang Saufi could not make it to the event and her daugher took his place instead.

Seasoned designer Datuk Tom Abang Saufi showcased her signature batik, pua kumbu designs on sarongs worn by bare chested men, which was one of many highlight of  the night .

Love how the images behind the vest offers surprises when the model took off their coat. 

Newcomer Kinslageer, a German designed based in Malaysia presented his take on menswear with a 1920''s twist. This husband and wife team features designs and tailor-make shirts, trouser, jackets, vests, neckties and bowties to casual wear and golf wear for easy elegant and comfortable wear.

The highlight of the night was the when Quater Homme took the stage with its underwear showcase. Take a deep breath before scrooling down to look at those toned and stylised male models. 

Stop and wipe your saliva... don't drool on your keyboard or handphone! 

Quater Homme has emerged as a leading brand and is well known for their extraordinary comfort and latest designs for men's underwear.

Stylo Fashion Grand Prix 2014 is now purely a fashion festival, which features all types of designs from current to even past collections, styled according to theme. Whereas Asia Fashion Week happening later this year is strictly B2B trade event featuring next season's collections where trade buyers meet and place order with designers to be manufactured and retailed later.

The STYLO signature during the opening night was evident throughout Poppy Garden was transformed into a French boudoir downstairs and Chinese boudoir upstairs at Passion under the theme "A Stylish Slumber"

Complete with big bed poster beds, bedside lamps, strategically placed partitions, fluffed-up pillows and sinful silk sheets to complete the look.

OOTN : I'm wearing Dorothy Perkins Pink Lace Dress

Although the dress code of sleep wear, party wear and under wear - only a small amount of people came in with the right attire and most of us went there "under dressed" ... Haha!

The Mercedes Benz STYLO Fashion Grand Prix 2014 runs from 24th - 29th of March 2014.  I will be there some of the nights to check out the collection! So stay tune!
