Estee Lauder Modern Muse Chic

Located at LG, Suria KLCC centre court.

Popped by Estee Lauder's launch for the Modern Muse Chic Roadshow last night and this is your chance to find your scent. So if you happen to be around KL this weekend, do check out Estee Lauders Modern Muse Roadshow, for tons of fun activities, from getting your makeup and hair done, followed by a small photo shoot session to remember the fun occasion. You can also find great promotional offers on their make up and skincare sets too! So, theres definitely nothing to lose here. Psst, the last time i was there, i got myself a cup of 'The last polka Ice Cream" prepared specially for the occasion, and if youre wondering what flavours were they, its mango smoothie or gula melaka. (GO FOR THE GULA MELAKA!)

Ice Cream from The Last Polka.

Too adorable!

And of course, to enjoy all these lovely promotions, all you need to do would be to purchase anything from the roadshow! A photo booth has also been set up for customers to enjoy. I know i had a lot of fun, since i got my hair and makeup done by experts. They even gave me some tips on how to enhance your make up skills :) I also had fun from picking out the props for the photo booth and of course, thinking of poses. Hehe.

The photo booth area.

Props to style you up a little during the photo session.

But if youre wondering what the highlight of the roadshow, well, its none other than their new fragrance, Modern Muse Chic, that captures everything about you. Personally i was given a chance to 'evaluate' their latest fragrance with some other bloggers, and the scent was absolutely heavenly.

Presenting the latest Modern Muse addition.

The Modern Muse Chic carries on two different types of notes, which depends on your personality, where its either you'll smell a little floral or, the other scent would be a more wood-type fragrance. The fragrance really resembles what its suppose to resemble, which is to be an inspiration. Both scent really captures a persons creativity, depending on how they would capture the scent. I found that pretty impressive as the scent can be interpreted in so many ways. Perfect for girls who are Bold & daring, but also for the Chic & Fabulous too.

The Estee Lauder's make up area.

They event have some tips shared too. (refer to the gigantic poster)

Heres a picture of how the Makeup area looks like where you can see best sellers, where they have a variety of options to choose and get a little hands on at their makeup tables. With their professional make-up artiste ever ready, they would be very glad to assist you in deciding on what suits your personality and skin tone. And if youre lacking of time, why not get a 3 minute beauty session that would be available at the counter, and later you can balance out your options on what you can add on your current make up table maybe.

Their Skincare range presentation.

The whole experience was absolutely a memorable event. I love how the setting really gave me a New York, modern feel to it, and not the forget that it felt very young and fun too! From Skincare, to make up, to fragrance, practically most of their products were displayed on counters to make it convenient for customers to try and personally get a feel of Estee Lauder's trusted products. Right? They even gift sets for viewing pleasure, and value for money too.

Me with Kalai, the Communication and Digital Executive of Estee Lauder/

And Tammy, Founder of the Butterfly Project all glamm up.

And if youre tempted in joining in the fun, all you need to do would be making any purchase at the roadshow with no limited amount required. Being an Estee Lauder user myself, (thanks to my mom for influencing me), you wont regret owning possibly your first Estee Lauder product. Once youre done with purchase, you will be treated with a makeup makeover with photos to bring back :)

Thank you for the memories Estee Lauder

M Cafe is in with the Ramadan Season

The M Cafe by Meesha Sukira

Fasting month is just around the corner and if you're wondering where can you dine in to break your fast during this festive season, you can check out  M Cafe by Meesha Sukira for unique Malaysian delicacies. M Cafe is a cozy dining place where you can enjoy delicious local homemade dishes with your friends and family and what makes M Cafe special is that they serve recipes from the palace to ensure that you dine feeling like royalty. And since i've been there myself, i couldn't agree more! Because the food there is simply not your usual recipe of Malaysian dishes.

Outdoor seating of M Cafe if you enjoy the cool humid weather

Meesha Sukira has initially been around in Malaysia, producing glamourous Batik fashion to introduce Malaysian culture to the world and they are currently exporting Batiks to places like the Middle East, Hong Kong, Japan and more! How cool is that?! If you have foreign friends coming over, give them a Malaysian treat by bringing them here to enjoy our local Malaysian food + the chance to enjoy Batik decorations around the cafe too.

M Cafe officially started its business in 2013 by 2 owners which are also the owners of Meesha Sukira Batiks. It took them awhile to establish Meesha Sukira and now further expanding their business by diversifying the business and venturing into the F&B industry by merging a Batik boutique with the cafe. And of course, living in a world filled with technology, its really hard to find premium and authentic Batik around.

The value of M Cafe carries cultural heritage food and fashion to the youth. Besides that, this movement also enables them to engage with the public in general spreading awareness of  the beauty of our forgotten Batik culture. Managed to try some of their dishes and it satisfies my tummy and my tastebuds pretty well. *Yums* Talking about food got me hungry. lol. So here are some photos of the dishes that i had which i found unique.

Sambal Fish Apple Salad

 The Sambal Fish Apple Salad is available on their Ala Carte menu and as spicy as it looks, its actually not that spicy when you eat it with the apple's. FISH AND APPLES?! i know what you're thinking. Rather bizarre but to be honest, its a must try if you're feeling adventures.

Hainanese Chicken Chop

The Hainanese Chicken Chop was done nicely because it wasn't overcooked and it has a juicy cut in the middle when you're cutting your chicken into bite sized pieces. So, chicken chop lovers, do try this at M Cafe.

Fried Chicken Salted Egg

THIS IS IT! The Fried Chicken Salted Egg is my ultimate favourite at M Cafe . Its also their signature dish mentioned by the manager as they had returning customers ordering the Fried Chicken Salted Egg, and i definitely know why.

So here's  your chance to try their dishes cause instead of ordering everything on their menu, they'll be having a promotional ramadan buffet during this festive month! Hoorah! Now you can try more than one dish on your first of returning visit to M Cafe. Listed below would be the Ramadan menu which will be served during the festive season.

RAMADAN BUFFET! 

Priced at RM39.90 per pax

Ikan Pari Assam Pedas

Daging Masak Hitam 

Terung Sambal

Udang Sambal Petai

Sotong Sumbat

Udang Rebung Leamk

Thats only the main dishes served. Surprise alert! If you're lucky, they'll be serving Durian ice cream if you want to add-on to your meal. And of course, their durian ice cream would be handmade for their customers to enjoy the real taste of durian ice cream. So do give them a call before dropping by to ensure that your visit will be fully maximised with yummy seasonal ice cream which will only be serve within the Ramadan month.

 Not only that they're a cafe, so maybe after your meal, maybe you can check out their handmade batik to prepare you Baju Raya for the Raya celebration! So talk about killing two birds with one stone. I've personally found their batik collection very interesting as the designs are never the same according to the manager. All are exclusively made by  Meesha Sukira at their man factory in Batu Caves. 

So do drop by M Cafe for an exclusive dine in with magnificent Batik decoration to enjoy while you're there. Felt like i was dining in a gallery while i was there. Teehee. And of course, if you're looking forward to try their ala carte menu, here are the 3 signature dishes that would be a must try at M Cafe:

1. Fried Chicken Salted Egg

2. Fish Fillet Mee Hoon Soup 

3. Pan Mee

 There are many more local choices to chose from and most of the recipes are from one of the owners mom. Whatever you try here will definitely make you feel like you're at home.

CO2 Spa Treatment at Daisuke Salon De Coiffure [REVIEW]

The main entrance to Daisuke Salon De Coiffure.

Hey there readers!

Is it just me or the weather it getting pretty confused lately? With the sudden rain and trenching hot sun we have right here in Malaysia, its always important to keep our scalp protected. Being the most exposed part to the sun, how do we pamper our scalp after trying so hard to bare the direct sun? Well, i guess thats why you're here! To find out whats this CO2 Spa treatment like. Let me just share you my experience at Daisuke Salon De Coiffure.

Private rooms for customers who prefers a private room.

From the photos above, you can tell that this isn't any ordinary Salon. It was very clean, spacious and i just simply loved whole theme of it. It felt like a retreat to the free and easy life of the world, compared to the ever busy salon's who are constantly rushing to complete serving each customer in a short period of time. This felt very at home to be honest. The employee's at the shop greeted me in a very friendly tone and the minute i stepped into the salon, i was served with a welcoming Japanese brown rice tea! And to ladies who wears scarfs, they actually took consideration to have a private room for you to be served at in order of respect. How cool is that? 

My Japanese brown tea, served hot.

The cool decorations that caught my attention.

More decorations on the wall.

How the decorations look to compliment the environment.

this is me getting excited over my CO2 Spa Treatment.

And of course, from my face, i guess you could tell how excited i was to get my first ever CO2 Spa treatment done at Daisuke Salon De Coiffure. But of course, I'm sure we all are curious about whats the difference between a normal hair wash and a CO2 Spa treatment wash? And guess what, i have the answers cause they had lovely employee's who were kind enough to explain it to me and who are able to find me the right answers to my questions.

So, from the photos above, i think it pretty much explains everything that you need to know in an overall, but since you're still reading, i'll explain it in my way so that you can enjoy reading whatever i write here. Hehe. Anyway, the CO2 Spa Treatment would be charged at only RM28 which i think the price is really reasonable. And the difference between a normal hair wash and a CO2 spa treatment, is that the CO2 spa treatment removes and literally cleans all the smell and chemicals away from your hair instantly!

CO2 Spa Treatment benefits :
- New Hair & Scalp care treatment imported from Japan
- Natural ingredients with cutting edge technology
- Cleans and heals the scalp naturally from within
- Improves softness, volume and lustre of your hair
- Utilises Carbon Dioxide (CO2) as the main fundamental ingredients
- Enhances the blood flow to your scalp

The Soda Spa Foam imported all the way from Japan 

BEFORE: Oil and Dirt without using Soda Spa Foam during the CO2 wash.

AFTER: The result after using Soda Spa Foam with CO2 wash.

As disgusting as it looks, i think it explains the results on what the CO2 Spa treatment does. It literally removes the oil, the dirt and also dead skin from your head. I was also told that it reduces dandruff if you have dandruff issues on your head.

The special feature of the CO2 Spa Treatment is that they use a special machine that changes water to CO2 which is used to wash and rinse your hair during the spa treatment. The Soda Spa Foam was applied after shampooing and was left for about 5 minutes before rinsing everything off. The CO2 treatment felt like it was fizzy during the wash but it was very VERY relaxing because the pressure felt just right.

THE OVERALL PROCEDURE: 
1. Hair was shampoo'ed for about 10 minutes including a head massage
2. Shampoo was rinsed with normal water
3. Double rinsed with CO2 water
4. The Soda Spa Foam was generously applied on head
5. 5 minutes to let the Soda Spa Foam to do its magic
6. Rinsed off with CO2 water
7. Blow-Dry.

DID YOU KNOW?
Did you also know that the Japanese truly enjoys CO2 treatments? Because the results of CO2 treatments would be that it  deep cleanses to reduce scalp itchiness, eradicates harmful chemicals, optimises the results of hair colour and perming and also widens blood capillaries to boost and improve blood circulation.

Meet Wen, my hairstylist of the day :)

And the final outcome thanks to Wen right here for getting me all dolled up to start my day. The session roughly took me an hour and after the treatment, i would say that my feels so much lighter. Thank you Wen for getting me all ready for the day and also, i can't wait to see you soon! Im in the mids of my finals, therefore I'm struggling with time at the moment to pay a visit. Cant wait for my second visit to this salon!

Other products that are imported from Japan.

And with such an amazing product, i brought one can of the Soda Spa Foam home to try it on my face as well. Cant wait to give a review on that and i'll let you all know the results after i've tried it out. Wen, my hair-stylist of the day, was kind enough to explain to me on how to use the Soda Spa Foam not more than twice a week on my hair and face, as it really does the job which does not require me to use everyday. THANKS FOR THE TIP WEN :)

Well, if you have any other enquiries, do not hesitate to leave a comment below OR check Daisuke Salon De Coiffure's official Facebook page. You can also PM them through Facebook, and they are kind enough to reply to any of your enquiries. Their customer service is definitely on top. Good job guys! Thank you so much for having me to review the place Daisuke Salon De Coiffure.

I hope you enjoy reading this review, and i will be getting my hair colour done FOR THE FIRST TIME at Daisuke Salon De Coiffure again. Cant wait to tell you all about it. Till then.
