Pricilla Verus' Wedding Story featuring Mon Amour Collection

I'm Back!

Hope everyone's doing fine at the moment.

Anyway, here's another wedding makeover that I did recently for a friend's sister.

 

Her name's Priscilla Verus who hails from Penampang 

and here is her before photo and after photos.

For her Solemnization Ceremony, I broke away from the norm

and gave her smokey bronze and gold eyeshadow to define her eyes

and balance out the uneveness of her eyelids.

Her lips and cheeks were kept minimal to not overwhelm her entire look.

 

Here's a picture of Pricilla complete with sideswept updo.

 In the afternoon,

I retouched her makeup to complement her red gown at her Reception in KDCA.

I changed her lipcolor to red, enhanced her cheeks with a little bronze

and rearranged her hair into romantic sidecurls.

The next day,
I did another makeover for Pricilla during her 'moving out' ceremony
 which is a custom of the Kadazan people for the new bride to move in to her new home.
So for her third look, I did blue eyeshadow with
a touch of pink for her blush & lipstick look to match her second outfit.
Eyebrows were lightned to match her haircolor which was loosely curled.

Her first outfit was a modernized Kazadan & Lotud

inspired evening gown from my Mon Amour Collection 

which I made for the Unduk Ngadau DBKK Gala Night in 2011.

 Congratulations Pricilla & Husband!

Hope you like this post.
Till next time,

XOXO



A taste of Indonesia

Have you ever noticed that cool Indonesian inspired bistro

al-fresco dining place along Jalan Mat Salleh on your way to Tanjung Aru?

 

After passing by the place several times,

I decided to give it a try after my makeover job around the area recently.

 

Lo and behold, Bali Bali Gardens Restaurant!

View from the main road of Jalan Mat Salleh

The Balinese umbrellas at the entrance are absolutely attention grabbing.

Balinese stone sculpture around the premises.

 They even had this little mini stage area

which I thought would be awesome for intimate wedding ceremonies & dance shows!

Which reminded me of the time my dancers did a Balinese-inspired

dance performance for A'Sutra which I feel would fit just right in this typical setting.  

 

Going back to the story,

I decided to give this interesting place a try so

I really didn't know what the menu would be like.

A little introduction about the place.

They didn't have much of an extensive selection on their menu

so I asked the waiteress for suggestion and this is what I ate.

 

Ayam Bertutu RM16.00



The Ayam Bertutu is an authentic Balinese baked and grilled chicken served with rice,

traditional condiments and sambal. I wished they had Ayam Penyet in their menu though!

A little hot chai to melt down the fats!

One photo before hitting the road.

Overall, I'd give their food 3 Stars since personally I'm not a fan of spicy foods.

Portions were also rather small for the price you pay.

However you really have to commend them for their ambience and decor

which I'd give a perfect 5 Stars!

Kiehl's comes to KK

Yes! Finally my fashion spread is done so I have decided to share with you one last post before I go and get my well deserved beauty sleep.

 

Well for those of you who are already fans & following my official Facebook Page, you would have already known that I had the greatest pleasure of being invited to the world reknowned Kiehl's Store opening in KK!

I received an email last week containing this invitation and had no second thoughts to RSVP the wonderful people at Kiehl's.

 

So fast forward to yesterday, I went to the event with my gorgeous Editor for Breeze Mag - Noor Ali and needless to say it was worth it!

 

We arrived in style ( which I frantically did not know what to wear ) at about 3:30 in the afternoon and were greeted by their friendly staff. I have more photos of the store HERE so do feel feel to check it out!

 

Now here comes the good part - THE GOODIE BAG!

Need I say more with this expression?

 One word to describe the moment I unravelled it at home :

Ahhhhhhhhh!!!

* think high pitched scream* 

I'll tell you more about the products soon after i've done testing them

 

Till then, XOXO my lovelies. Time for some sleep!
