OMG!! It was beyond amazing!! I only have Kiehl's Malaysia to thank you for the special invite to the Alicia Keys Live In Malaysia 2013 - Set The World On Fire Concert Tour. I was going to go anyways until I got the invite from Kiehl's which made it even more awesome. The friends I was suppose to go with are not talking to me at the moment but they'll come around.. soon hopefully. Lol! There was no faulting anything. The sound system was perfect. Alicia Key's voice filled the stadium so clearly. Did I mention she's so damn hott! I mean she's like gorgeous. Wow!! Fantastic evening!!

Sensual just got intense... Dolce & Gabbana Intense is rich and perfect for Winter. Intense opens with Green Mandarin and Neroli with a rich white flower heart of White Blossom and Tuberose. It dries down to a sweet Marshmallow and Sandalwood note. It's a warm scent with a fierce sweetness and a lingering spicy base. I find that it's a tad too sweet for my liking and I still very much prefer the Pour Femme.

Dolce & Gabbana really does spoil you with its regal velvet packaging inspired by the luxurious drapery that once adorned the interior of palaces in Sicily. Encased in an almost opaque dark burgundy glass flacon with a solid gold collar and matching burgundy cap it gives Intense that ultra sensual feel. As if having Laetitia Casta as the face of Intense isn't sensual enough.

Yup, it's Laetitia Casta and Noah Mills looking all so hot and bothered in each others arms. The ad campaign shot by Mario Testino picks up where Pour Femme left off. This time more heated and passionate.

For you Dolce & Gabbana and Laetitia Casta fans here's an exclusive Q&A with Laetitia Casta...

1. Tell us how the campaign evolved, what is the new chapter to the campaign trying to illustrate?

I think sensuality is still a great part of the story but the new chapter sees a more intimate environment creating more sensual atmosphere. Last year’s campaign took place outdoors which brought out a more playful edge of the story. This year the setting changed to the bedroom making the campaign more passionate and romantic in some sense.

The focus of this year’s campaign shifted so that my character is in the spotlight. It’s all about the female’s strong personality, passions and desires. Having said that, the frisson between both characters is really important and it feels like they are even closer this time.

2. How would you describe the Dolce&Gabbana woman?

To me, the Dolce&Gabbana woman is passionate, sensual and strong minded. She knows what she wants and has real confidence to achieve her dreams. I think she embodies the spirit of the Mediterranean. She is fiercely independent, with a fun-loving nature and an adventurous streak. The Dolce&Gabbana woman takes pride in herself and her appearance, but in a way that is so effortless– she loves to look good, smell good and to be the centre of attention

3. How would you describe Pour Femme Intense in 3 words?

Intensity, sensuality and desire

It's great when one of the many mushrooming coffee places decides to set up shop in KL. The latest Feeka Coffee Roasters recently opened at Jalan Mesui and it's the perfect place to just hang out. It's from the people behind Food Foundry and Butter + Beans at Seventeen in PJ both of which I've only been to once as I really couldn't be bothered to wonder off so far. Apparently the look they were going for is a fusion between the two.

The essence of the Bobbi-Look is to have naturally, beautiful skin. It's important to get your base right before enhancing your features or putting on any colours because there really is no point in enhancing anything with a chalky dull complexion. This reminds me I need to hydrate more.

I have had an obsession with silver jewellery since forever. Not that I don't like gold, I just seem to be more attracted towards silver. I almost never leave home without at least 6 pieces of silver jewellery on me. That would be the 3 pairs of silver earring on my ears. Then comes the rings, bracelets and necklaces. So I was super excited when Ollie Jewellery got in touch with me.

So whats everyone been talking about in KL over the past few days? NARS Cosmetics finally opened its first store in Pavilion Kuala Lumpur! Definitely something to be super excited about! Attending the launch party is all cool and stuff but what's more awesome is getting some face time with NARS Cosmetics Global Lead Artist, Jane Richardson.

Yes, more on Christmas! Impossible to avoid it since it's kinda of just around the corner. Never too early to shop for gifts and sorts. Crabtree & Evelyn just opened their newest store at Pavilion KL. Dubbed the 'Secret Garden', it's filled to the brim with Crabtree & Evelyn 2013 Christmas Gift Collection. You'll be spoilt for choice! If there's one thing I've always liked about Crabtree & Evelyn is their pretty packaging. It's classic, super pretty and the tin packaging is for keeps!

Christmas is back at one of my fave brands, The Body Shop!! This year's star is the Ginger Sparkle, so you'll see the Gingerbread Boy hanging around everywhere in the outlets. Also making his first appearance is the snowman. As always, you'll definitely find gifts for every price range. But you guys really have to check out the Gingerbread Boy, Reindeer and Snow Man wash balls, beyond adorable! Just to let you guys know, The Body Shop Pavilion is having reopening offers. More good stuff there!

Finally manage to post this up after almost a week of absolute rubbish internet connection. Technical issues apparently according to the internet techs.

Autumn is always about the browns. So I figured why not go bronzey on the eyes and cheeks. Since "Autumn" here is partly shiny with bouts of shower anyways, a bronzer is perfect. What am I saying.. a bronzer is always perfect over here! I love that the bronzer I used for this look is more of a red-brown shade. It warms up the look a lot more. And that dark brown in the eye palette, is a nice stand out.

Something I try to do twice a week but lately it has only been every Sunday. I've been using the Clinique Turnaround Instant Facial for the past few years now and have somehow neglected to review it. Shame on me! I found these two sample size Origins masks that came with some other Origins products while I was clearing my stash and figured I'd include it in my usual scrub-mask routine.

It's The Butterfly Project's end of the year party and I want to party with Kinohimitsu! It's going to be a Luau at a Spa. Curious..? Well so am I!

“Pump-pump” Bouncy Skin, catchy tagline for Olay’s the latest hydration range – Olay Aqua Action. This new range is powered by the breakthrough HydraLock technology to deliver a new standard of hydration. It has been shown to deliver 12-hour non-stop hydration leaving skin cells well hydrated, giving the skin a firm and elastic touch.

Haven't really had much time for events lately.. my work-blog balance is currently out of sync, work has been taking up most my time. When I received the invitation to attend the GUESS Luxe launch at The Gardens recently, I had to go especially when I find out that my girls were going too. Thanks loads The Butterfly Project for the invite!

my fave shot by jean.. so swag! lol

Ever had an idea that you thought that could make a difference to your home or city? Well Philips has launched this awesome contest called the Philips Innovation That Matter To You. So now is a good time for you to submit your idea to Philips. It might just come true! Shout out to The Butterfly Project for roping me into this campaign.

One of the suggestions during my blog giveaway was to combine an outfit post with a makeup look. I don't usually go all out with make up when I decide to take outfit photos, don't have much time for it. So here's a really simple one. If you think Clinique eye shadows are only meant to be worn for a day/night/classy look well I used the darkest shade in the Clinique All About Shadow Quad in Galaxy (review here) for this grunge-ish look, since I left out wearing it in the review post.  And I lightly stained my lips with Laura Mercier Healthy Lips. Clinique gone grunge! It's possible.

Not only has Clinique come up with a new eye primer, they also have a range of new eye shadows that gives you colours that pop. I figured it's time to take a break from brown autumn shades and try out blue instead.

Due to my insanely oily lids I always wear a primer. Otherwise colours and liners will just run off my lids at break neck speed. Unless I was going for that dewy lids look then no primer is perfect. I'm very fussy with eye primers but there's something to be said about this new eye primer from Clinique. It's called Clinique All About Shadow Primer For Eyes.

What does the eyes have anything to do with your health? Well I gave a curious cringe when I was told it had everything to do with my health. I learned something new when I was invited to the opening of Blackmores Concept Store at Midvalley recently by The Butterfly Project.

Now isn't that a longer than usual title.. but yes you read right, Sparkling! My eyes lit up when I first saw it. Gold, shimmery, luxe looking - thought to myself, I got to have those! 

This happened last night as part of Estee Lauder Malaysia's Annual Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign. This year's campaign however wasn't as inclusive at previous year's campaign. It didn't include any BCA related programmes, talks and sorts, unless it's post illumination. So the only thing I have for you guys are photos of last night illumination of the Petronas Twin Towers, Kuala Lumpur. Remember to do your self-examination!
