I've been trying to create more informative Instagram stories on my Instagram account and thought that I'd share it here too since stories only last for 24 hours. Here's a quick step-by-step of my daily skin care routine in photos using my current favorite products from Kiehl's, La Mer, Cetaphil, Bobbi Brown and Handmade Heroes. 

Should I do more instagram stories such as this? Tell me in the comments section below!

Bobbi Brown Remedies is a collection of six treatments that target specific complexion concerns, inspired by the brand's holistic approach to beauty, enhancing the skin's overall health. Focusing on common concerns such as severe dehydration to irritation, the remedies addresses problems with the skin and offers a comprehensive approach to achieving healthy, beautiful skin - it is to be used individually or layered with skincare for a fully customised solution for different individuals.

I'm currently in love with the Skin Relief and Skin Reviver as part of my pre-prep routine before putting on my makeup for events. As my skin is easily irritated and turns red when it is rubbed, the skin relief helps to calm it down while the reviver gives my skin a revitalising boost before going out. The formula is light and absorption is fast. The only downside is that it smells quite pharmaceutical but that also means there's no strong fragrance added to this. Best to apply 2-3 drops per day on clean skin and layering remedies or spot-treating problem areas are encouraged. 

This protective formula helps revitalise skin with its powerful proprietary ferment blend giving the skin a surge or antioxidants and essential nutrients, usually compromised by free radical damage and environmental aggressors. The nutrients in this formula contains Green Algae and potent fermentation made of fresh kale, brussel sprouts and spinach extracted in hot water mixutre to retain the antioxidants at optimal concentration. 

If you have parched skin, this is the holy grail for you as it provides immediate hydration while stimulates skin's natural moisture levels sans oiliness. The unique combination of Hyaluronic Acid and mineral-infused water nourishes the skin which in turn will increase the skin's Natural Moisturizing Factor. 

Skin that requires intensive healing would benefit from this remedy formula as it helps strengthen the skin's structure to prevent further damage from aggressors while sealing in moisture to aid in the natural repair process with it's three key lipids complex made of Raspberry Leaf Wax, Soybean emollients, Muru Muru Butter and oils.

Suitable for sensitive and reactive skin, this calming, soothing formula visibly reduces redness and irritation while relieving stressed skin with its undiluted Red Algae complex and Seaweed extracts. As a result, skin is stronger and protected from flaring up in the future. 

If you have oily to combination skin or clogged pore issues, use this skin clarifier as it doesn't strip the natural oils on your skin, but it helps unclog pores and balance the oil levels while strengthening and stabilizing cell turnover for a smoother, healthier looking complexion using a combination of emollient - non-pore clogging oils from Manuka, Sea Buckthorn, Rosehip and Saw Palmetto with Salicylic Acid to clarify the pores and maintain the skin's natural balance. 

This balm is best applied where needed as a spot-treating remedy as this concentrated balm helps protect and nourish severely irritated, dry or damaged skin. Skin Salve can be used on its own or applied on top of other skin care without disrupting their functions. It is best to use at night for optimal healing as the wholesome combination of Shea Butter, Beeswax, Turmeric extract and Licorice extract act as a breathable "skin bandage" to protect, soften and restore.

About two months back, Bobbi Brown Malaysia flew in Claudia Kim, their new face for Bobbi Brown Asia and with that, they were promoting K-Beauty style makeup throughout their campaign. K-Beauty, also known as Korean beauty is a trend of youthful, natural glow that is popular amongst Korean ladies worldwide. Their focus is not on heavy layers of makeup, rather to enhance the natural beauty of the person instead. I personally am influenced by Western style makeup where contouring is worshipped more than just putting on basics and using makeup is to change one's aesthetics from a plain jane to a glam goddess. 

Having Cho Hee from Bobbi Brown Korea was a delight. She's a gentle and beautiful lady who explained the process thoroughly so I understood the difference between Western and Korean makeup aesthetics. It is much lighter and it focuses on enhancing one's features using a little bit of skill and natural shades which would be wearable daily. 

I'd like to thank Bobbi Brown Malaysia for hooking me up with their Korean counterpart, it's been awesome and I'd like to know what do you like about the video!

Bobbi Brown has introduced rich new formula Luxe Lip color - it is ultra luxurious, glides effortlessly, nourishes and color the lips sans feathering or flaking. As Bobbi Brown is known for being classic and timeless, this Luxe Lips comes in 30 shades of subtle pinks to bright oranges and even to deep reds. This is probably the largest range of shades offered at one time. These shades were the results of Bobbi's internal collaboration with her makeup artists from around the world to determine the most popular global shade lineup that caters to every skin tone. 

With the very chic gold tube, I definitely felt the luxe Bobbi tries to give to her fans. The lipsticks were buttery - it melts on the lips and glides on as if a liquid lipstick would but it does not feather easily. Application was very precise and I definitely love the two shades I received - Your Majesty and Parisian Red, just in time for the Fall Winter season. 

Your Majesty is a reddish brownish color, almost like the lovechild of brick and plum that I decided to create my entire look towards a more rustic, dark-brownish palette. For this look, I used Bobbi Brown's:

- Holiday '14 Shimmerbrick over my base
- Perfectly Defined Long-Wear Brow Pencil in Saddle
- Long-Wear Cream Shadow Stick in Heather Steel
- Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner in Black Scotch
- Luxe Lip in Your Majesty

Parisian Red on the other hand is a bluish-toned red lipstick that could recreate the signature Taylor Swift RED look with just a simple swipe of black eyeliner and a clean base for day, and a little darker shading around the eyelids required for the Blank Space look. For this look I used Bobbi Brown's:

- Holiday '14 Shimmerbrick over my base
- Perfectly Defined Long-Wear Brow Pencil in Mahogany
- Long-Wear Cream Shadow Stick in Soft Peach on upper lids and lower lids
- Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner in Black Ink
- Luxe Lip in Parisian Red

For full coverage, apply with a simple swipe from the tube. The lipstick is made with a custom molded bullet, and the pointed tip makes it easier to line and define the outer edges of the lips, almost like a built-in lip liner so you'll be good to touch up and reapply as you go. Bobbi Brown Luxe Lip retails for RM107 at Bobbi Brown stores in Malaysia.

I rarely show up at events anymore, unless it is to support friends and the people I love working with within the industry as I'm concentrating much more on life as a housewife and running WhateverThereWas. This year, my KLFW love goes out to Tsyahmi, Bobbi Brown Malaysia team and the Melium group for inviting me to be a part of this annual event.

Tsyahmi dressed me up for the Farah Khan show in a beautiful hand-painted dress from their latest runway collection. The white midi dress coupled with their outer was beautiful and I felt like an ethereal princess walking up and down Pavilion and it surely turned heads. I missed out on their runway show but looking at the photos from their Facebook, it looks fabulous.

Bobbi Brown's team was ever so patient answering my endless questions at the makeup and hair area before the runway shows. The makeup artists that were flown in were super friendly and they were the ones in charge of making sure the looks were on point before the models go on stage. Each look was created by Bobbi Brown Malaysia team for the designers and you can see their preparation here.

It's that time of the year again where the biggest week in Malaysia's fashion world will take place in the heart of the city showcasing crème de la crème within the industry. This year, Bobbi Brown will be the official makeup partner for Kuala Lumpur's Fashion Week, making sure the models are catwalk ready with their game face on.

The Malaysian Bobbi Brown team invited me not too long ago to meet their makeup experts, have a quick makeup session with them and play with their products. Like, seriously. What did I do in the past life to deserve blessed moments like this. Play with makeup and get a makeover? Hell, yes. I roped in Charis Ow to join me cause I can be socially awkward at times, and what's a makeover if not with a girlfriend, yes? We were introduced to the team, who were either colouring the face chart, or testing out looks on a model. I was calm on the exterior but inside it felt like I was hyperventilating to be surrounded by tons of makeup items. 

The team is no amateur to the KL Fashion Week scene as this is their second time participating, showing their skills and talents to complete the look of the designers' collections. The planning started as far back as January, and browsing through the looks I believe they were put into so much consideration and thought I could almost see how it would fit some local designers' essences that I know. This year, they will be bringing in 5 international makeup artistes to help create magic backstage. I seriously cannot wait to see the real deal happening (hopefully I'm around to do this) this June. Meanwhile, I'll keep you updated with more Bobbi Brown news soon!
