Introducing you to Kracie X The Butterfly Project

Hello everyone!


The event location at Full House, Sunway Pyramid.

Other butterflies, taking photos at the event to remember the event. Aren't they adorable? 

I know i was suppose to blog about my event from Kracie which was way back to two weeks ago, definitely charged as guilty for delaying the post, my bad! But before i start, let me just explain more on the event, basically, the event was held at Fullhouse, Sunway Pyramid at 12pm till 2pm on the 31st of October. And what a coincidence that it was on Halloween! Apparently, to attend the event, it had a theme, where everyone had a dress code to be dressing up in a Kawaii outfit. So yes, Kawaii girl on the loose on Halloween. Good news, would be that i didn't have to think of what to dress up as. LOL.


Mr Kojima, presenting some of the range of hair care by Ichikami.
The event started with Mr Kojima, giving an introduction of the purpose of the event by explaining about how Kracie begun. He was very happy to meet all of us, and i found it fascinating that he was explaining everything in Japanese. But of course we had a translator as our emcee, so thank god for that. Lets start with an introduction to Kracie, if you haven't heard of Kracie, well, its actually a renamed brand of Kanebo. Yes, Kracie is actually by Kanebo. Surprise! And we all know how good Kanebo is right?! Its amazing because they believe in details on all components of your living lifestyle. So it has a long history of 128 years, where it started in 1887. This is assured that the products they have been creating is really good, knowing that its still growing after over a decade of existence.

There are two main brands under Kracie that i would like to highlight in this post, which would be "Ichikami" their hair care series and also their mask range by the name "Hadabisei".




So how did Ichikami came around? The ancient Japanese believe that beautiful hair represents who they are, where Ichikami directly means "Hair comes first". Ichikami has a special hair care ingredient, which is made out of rice brand. We had a demonstrator to demonstrate how the product can do wonders. 


Left: Before Styling, Right: After Styling
Its amazing how not only that Ichikami protects your hair, but also it leaves a natural look to it while it treats your hair with the right nutrients. I managed to have a hold of her hair, and it felt really smooth and healthy, as if the curls was her natural hair. 

Below would be some of the ranges of hair care by Ichikami.




Ichikami uses Japanese Botanical essences to not only repair existing hair damages, but also to prevent future damages as well. It is formulated with repair and prevention ingredients, "Pure Japanese Botanical Essences". And to think its so easy to treat your hair now with Ichikami that you don't even need to do treatment at a hair saloon. It generates fine lather and cleans hair gently while protecting your hair against further damage from normal shampoo.




The Ichikami comes in 2 different types:
1. Smooth Care Line: for frizzy, permed, coloured, tangled, stiff and oily hair
2. Moist Care Line: for Brittle, dry and dull, with split ends

Ichikami Wasou Yu Special Hair care:
Wasou Yu, is a pure botanical hair oil, and all the butterfly bloggers actually had the opportunity play around with the product. I managed to apply several drops at the ends of my hair, and it felt amazing. It was an instant treatment to treating your hair within less than 30 seconds. It had a very decent smell of cherry blossom in every drop of it. Smells good, treats your hair, what more can you ask for?! 

Ms Keko, explaining the position of Ichikami worldwide.

Moving on, Ms Keko also had a say on the product representing Kracie. Did you know that Ichikami is positioned at the 6th best hair care brand all around the world? And the secret ingredient to Ichikami hair care range is rice. It is believed that rice had nutrients that are good for your hair as its organic and non acidic like other hair treatments nowadays.

Not only they have hair care, but they also had a range of face mask as well, known as Hadabisei. Mr Kojima was a good sport to volunteer on trying out the product. According to Ms Keko, 15 minutes of this mask would help your skin relax and restores all the nutrients that it needs to keep it looking healthy and moist. And the best part, its good for people with sensitive skin as its very gentle.

And if you're wondering what i wore to the event, or #ootd, here is what i looked like. Haha. I was going as a nerdish Kawaii Girl. Hoping that i pulled it off the right way. Please say it worked. Teehee. or if it didn't, guess I'm not Japanese enough. *pouts sad face*

^ nerdish kawai girl

And before i end, the best part to any event would be meeting such amazing people and also making new friends. Here are some other photos i took at the event, and i met some familiar faces too! Ladies who never fail to look amazing every time i see them ;)

Hey peeps,

If you haven't heard theres a crazy ice cream frenzy happening this coming friday! OMG OMG OMG! In early 2013, Magnum opened its first cafe in Siam Centre in Bangkok, and yes, Magnum. The deliciously rich milky vanilla ice cream wrapped with a layer of irresistible chocolate. Of course, they've launched tons of variety of other premiums flavours and smaller sized mini's for those with smaller appetites.

And since they're opening one in Malaysia, here is what to expect! Here are some of the photos of the cafe in Bangkok.

Photos taken from here.

Don't they just look amazing?! Common, you have to agree with me on this. And from the photos above, you know what to expect to serve your cravings. The interior is a definite heavenly to match the whole I'm in heaven filled with chocolate scene. haha

The star item in Magnum Cafe's menu that gets people going crazy about would be the Make my Magnum (MMM) item. MMM allows patrons to DIY their own Magnum ice cream complete with coating, topping, and drizzling. *DROOLS* It could end up with your very own version of an epic perfect luscious dessert that you've been dying to have.



The good news is that you'll probably be able to have the experience as well as they'll be having a promotion where when you're the first 500, you get a free customised Make a Magnum ice cream. And on top of that, more surprises! So what are you waiting for?! They open at 10, so be there early to be sure you're the first 500 in line.

They'll be launching their first cafe in Mid Valley Megamall and they have confirmed the opening of a Magnum Cafe in Malaysia via FB and not to forget a photo to tempt everyone in the mall. If you missed the photo, heres a photo of the store in renovation:

Photo taken from here.
It will be located in Mid Valley Megamall, 3rd floor, not too far away form Golden Screen Cinema's. So don't forget, its opening on friday, 14th November 2014. Cant wait!

Hope you found this informative.

Goodluck with hunting for  your free MMM.

Delicious love,

ENTERTAINMENT NEWS : Kim Kardashian goes butt naked on a cover of a mag


If you haven't heard, Kim Kardashian had a revealing cover shoot for Paper Magazine.  Her makeup artist says the theme was just oil and great lighting to make her look amazing, to redefine the whole Kim Kardashian is famous for, contouring. This certainly wasn't the case according to Mario Dedivanovic (Kim's makeup artist). The make up was actually a really quick 20 minutes, but the hair took really long to perfect it.

The Magazins winter cover featuring Mrs Kanye West being butt-naked as she emerges from a black beaded evening gown. The shoot took place during Paris Fashion Week, and the inspiration was simple and sweet. The inspiration was basically just to make her look beautiful and herself. I assume that in this case, it was more to defining feminine beauty with the curves that Kim is famous for.



Kim Kardashian claims that she has to regrets and will continue to do sexy shoots as long as she's in shape. AND not to forget its also because Kanye loves it! As long Kanye gets all the guys jealous, why not flaunt off your amazing booty wifey? not that i want that to ever happen to me. HAHA

Moving on, nn an honest opinion, i think it was a playful photoshoot, not that its entirely wrong to break the internet, but she is a symbol of how a woman should be, confident and bold. But this photo has attracted so many attention to create funny meme's and also raising questions which doesn't affect her in any way, as she's just getting more attention and fame which is what she enjoys. As if having a reality show isn't good enough to let the whole world to know about her life.



The shoot was actually inspired by an old photo by Jean-paul Goude "Carolina Beautmont, New York, 1976. Above would be the photo that inspired Kim Kardashian to shoot in such a way. With a sexy body like hers, who wouldn't? Well, everyone will definitely have a say to the photo, but I'm not as bothered. The whole concept of it that people are getting it wrong would be that Paper Magazine is wrongly attributing the inspiration for Kim Kardashians cover to the vintage Goude photo called "Champagne Incident". The photo is more than just about balancing skills, a innocent mistake perhaps.

In Jean Pauls Goude photo, the

"subject wears an exotic hairstyle and smiles for the camera in the pose of a happy savage pleased to serve. Which suggests her complicity in having her body depicted as a literal object, a primitive vision to provide pornographic pleasure and intoxication presumably for a white male spectator"

Kim on the other hand, wears a sequin dress and expensive jewellery. She's definitely here not to serve. She definitely succeeded in flooding the Interwebs, although , we're all not too sure bout the memes were thinking the same way as Kim. Here are some of the meme's that are going viral!




Well Kim herself had a few opinions about the daring new shoot, but these stunning shots has been leaving us with one question: How long until kims butt goes rogue and lands a magazine cover of its very own?

Today i'll be signing off as your gossip girl 101. haha.

Till then,
Sara xx
