The Terengganu Rip Curl Pro 2012 hapenning on 30 Nov-2 Dec at Pantai Batu Burok, K.Terengganu!

Well, I got excited when I found out the Renowned Australia surf brand, Rip Curl (Malaysia) has partnered with the State Government of Terengganu to organise the FIRST EVER 6-STAR PRO SURF CONTEST which will be held on 30 November to 2nd December 2012 at the coastal of Pantai Batu Burok, Kuala Terengganu...Malaysia Boleh! 

Well I went and google and found that this Pantai Batu Buruk (beach of the ugly stone) is located just 1 km from the Kuala Terengganu and can be reached by walking! It is famous for its white sandy beaches with swaying casuarinas lining up behind the shore, like a loyal friend to the waves. 

I read that this is the probably the cleanest and widest beach inside Kuala Terengganu city and would be perfect for water sport activities. Besides that, The Culture Centre which is also located on the beach offer pencak silat (Malay martial art), top spinning, kite flying, sepak raga and other traditional show from 5.00pm to 7.00pm every Friday from 1 April till 31 October. Oh there is a happening night market every Friday from 3.00pm till 7.00pm that one must visit!

Various awards such as “Best Malaysian Surfer” and “Best Surf Wipout” would be given out to top performer!

Beauty News: Lea Michele is the L’Oreal Paris NEW Ambassador

L’Oréal Paris is pleased to announce award-winning actress Lea Michele as the brand’s newest ambassador. Lea’s talent took her from Broadway to the big screen where she stole the hearts of Americans on Glee as a show stopping soprano Rachel Berry.

“Growing up on stage, I was introduced to makeup at a young age and I will never forget the first time I tried on a L’Oréal Paris iconic lipstick –it was instant glamour and I’ve been hooked ever since!  I’ve been a fan of L’Oréal Paris’ products for years, but it wasn’t until I was a bit older that I fully understood the brand’s message of a woman’s worth, which I wholeheartedly agree with. L’Oréal Paris encourages women to embrace their beauty and celebrate their self-worth.  I feel very honored to be working with L’Oreal Paris to help spread that message to young women” says Lea Michele.

Lea is perhaps best known for her role in the critically-acclaimed, Fox TV television series Glee, which returned this month for its fourth season. Throughout her role as Rachel, Lea has received a People’s Choice Award, a Teen Choice Award and a Screen Actors Guild Award. She has also been honored with an Emmy Award nomination and two Golden Globe nominations.

 In addition to her role on Glee, Lea has performed solo concerts to sold-out crowds in New York and Los Angeles and has lent her vocal talents to two feature films. In 2011, Lea starred in the romantic comedy New Year's Eve and in 2013, Lea will star in Summertime Entertainment's animated 3D film Dorothy of Oz, providing vocals on several original numbers. Lea’s talents span the entertainment industry, but when she is not performing she dedicates her time to supporting causes close to her heart.   

Today, Lea joins the L’Oréal Paris Spokespersons family, including Jennifer Lopez, Beyoncé Knowles, Julianna Margulies, Eva Longoria, Andie MacDowell, Freida Pinto and Aimée Mullins, among others. Lea Michele will debut in TV and print advertising campaigns for the leading global beauty brand beginning in the United States in early 2013.

After 18 successful years, with more than 900 counters in China, Malaysia is the 2nd country in the world that has AUPRES. Also I was kinda suprise when I was told that AUPRES is not available in Japan even though it's a brand under Shiseido Japan, I wonder why... many in Japan too many brands under Shiseido already!

AUPRES, which means “next to you, close to you” in French upholds its basic philosophy of “High Quality”, “High Service” and “High Image” is an exclusive skincare and makeup brand launched in 1994.

Guest Review: Max Factor Smoky Eye Effect Eyeshadow by JQ

~Get smoky eyes easily~

Max Factor Smoky Eye Effect in Indigo Mist

Claims

"A foolproof new tool that shades, blends and defines your eyes for this season’s sultriest, sexiest looks. Inspired by our international team of make-up artists its double-ended application system has 2 distinctive tips designed to make smoky eyes easier than ever."

How to use

The product has two ends which are labeled step 1 & step 2. Basically apply the end that says step 1 (which is blunt) on the entire eyelid. Then apply the eye labeled step 2 (which is slightly pointier) along the crease and on the lower lash line. You can then use your fingers to pat & smudge so it blends seamlessly.

Pro:

• Double ended = more colours to play with
• Easy to carry pen like applicator
• Nice colour pay off
• Creamy texture
• Blends well

 

I wouldn't exactly say using this cream shadow sticks are easy to apply maybe because I feel the colours that I got doesn't seem to compliment best with each other. I personally love the blue-ish green colour because it shows up the best and beautiful on my lids but I wish it was in pointed shape for easier application. I find that the maroon purple side doesn't shows up as well as the other side did but the pointed shape was a great help. Because this is a cream shadow, it creases so do apply a base and some similar colour powder on top to set them. In my opinion, I don't think that it should be used alone, you will still need to work it out with a black powder for deepening and white powder shadow for the inner corners and to highlight your brow bone. Blending them with your fingers in a patting motion for a better effect. It cost about RM44 in retail. Check out the video on how I use it.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Above review is done by my blog guest reviewer JQ who is also a blogger, she blogs at http://niaangel.blogspot.com

p/s: When I received this at the event, I thought the colours are not suitable for my skintone and thought JQ who are fairer who will be able to carry it, so pass it to her to try. Watch her video tutorial and see how she create Sexy Smokey Raggae in her youtube tutorial
