SK-II X Singapore Fashion Week

May 20, 2015maybeline

Last week, I blogged about the Google+ Live Hangout and I was really honored to be able to meet Cate Blanchett in person during the press conference. She had been using SK-II for 12 years!!

If you’re interested in re-watching the Google+ Hangout, you can watch it here: https://goo.gl/OkttUR.

The Global Ambassador and multiple Academy Award-winning actress is really stunning and humorous in person! It was almost a once in a life time opportunity!

“I don’t like the word limited, I think you’ve got to work with what you got. And I think trying to look like someone else or trying to be like someone else, or trying to have someone else’s career is not a good philosophy for any part of your life. But if you work with what you have got, and consistently stay with a range of products that work, which for me was SK-II, then I think you can totally change the results.”– Cate Blanchett

Notice the bottle she was holding in her hand? It is the latest Mid-Day Miracle Essence, which is also available in Mid-Night (Bottle in Black).

Celebrity Make Up Artist, Larry Yeo, gave us a demostration on how we can use the spray together with our cosmetics at the Singapore Fashion Tent right outside Ngee Ann City. Just so you know, SK-II is the official skincare partner for Singapore Fashion Week for the second year.

Chantana and I were amazed by the different products Mr. Larry Yeo used on the model – Wendy and how he dilute the cosmetics using the mist.

He left Wendy with a glowing skin using the essences and the new AurActivator CC Cream by SK-II.

I have personally tried the CC cream and I gotta say that I love it a lot! It gives off a very luminous effect and look as though my skin is at least 3 times more radiance than the days without it.

He also mentioned that he likes the Mid-Night Miracle Essence more because it gives off a minty scent which is more refreshing and it helps to perk him up.

SK-II also collaborated with the closing designer – Victoria Beckham for each of the model for a skin prep session before their hair and mekup just before they walk down the runway for her show.

“I think it’s all about using the right products, and these (SK-II) products are really really great. I was surprised when I started using them – how they make me feel, how they make my skin glow, feel fresh, and clean, and bright as well.” – Victoria Beckham.

It sure was honored being able to witness all of these happened and I thank everyone involved for the opportunity 🙂

Let’s wait for Singapore Fashion Week 2016 🙂 and may we expect more upcoming products from SK-II to aid in our glowing skin!!

I’ll let you know how I feel about the Mid-Day Miracle Essence after trying it!

#BreakFree with Braun Beauty

October 29, 2014maybeline

What do you know about Braun? For me, it’s shavers and more shavers, man and more men. Finally…. they are launching more female products! I was there at Capella Hotel to witness it myself yesterday afternoon.

I thought that I was going to be all alone but I randomly asked Cheryl if she was going and hey, we were both alone! We had no idea what was going to be launched so it was all kept as a surprise.

There were actually 3 launches – Braun Face, Braun Satin Hair 7 and Braun Stain Hair 1.

I was particularly interested with Braun Face because it is the world’s first facial epilator and cleansing brush (2 in 1). It was said to be able to deliver pore-deep cleansing as well as high precision facial epilation for pure, radiant beauty. Facial hair might not be a problem for Asian ladies as we do not have much facial hair, but there are still fine hair on the face – especially between the brows and above the upper lips.

Threading is painful and waxing is a chore because it can get messy and dirty.

The Braun Face has a slim epilator head that removes almost invisible hairs and delivers precision on the eyebrows, upper lip and chin as it has 10 micro-openings. It is also 200 times faster than manual tweezers and can remove hairs four times shorter than traditional waxing. Despite being efficient, it is also gentle to the skin.

I was still joking about shaping the brows with this.

With a simple swap of heads, you can turn it into a cleansing brush. Doctors also recommended that cleansing the face with a brush is also much more effective than manual cleansing as they are able to reach in to the clogged pores. For all you know, your face might be congested with make up, dust, dirt and oil after an entire day.

I like the chic and handy design as I can bring it around for staycations or travels. Before I forget, it is waterproof too!

This multi-functional beauty tool is only retailing at $99. Looking naturally flawless has never been this easy.

“Women want to have the confidence and styling tools to achieve salon-professional hair in their own home” – Jessica Alba, Braun Beauty Ambassador.

Yup, so Braun is now bringing them into your house. Not only that, they have also come up with a Style & Go hair range. The hair dryer is foldable so it makes it convenient to carry it around for travels, ensuring that your hair looks freshly styled all day.

SensoDryer has a built-in Thermo Sensor that measures temperature 600 times a minute and the dryer immediately turns it up to optimal level, giving you glossy and healthy-looking hair every time. It has a powerful air blow but I think the selling point of the hair dryer is that it can blow out powerful cold air to keep the hair style locked!

So here’s Braun for you. Remember to check them out in stores! 🙂

Cadbury’s Most Marvellous Bloggers’ Party

April 12, 2013maybeline

This is definitely one of the BEST events so far and I am very enthusiastic to share with you guys!

On 6th April 2013, I boarded Joyville (the official Cadbury bus) to an extremely marvellous place. Not just the whole exterior, the whole interior was extremely cute too.

You can also charter Cadbury’s Joyville bus by simply spending S$20 on Cadbury.
For more information, please visit joyrider.sg or give +65 62328515 a ring!

I think it was specially designed in such a way where you can no longer feel blues in the bus.

Chocolate brings smile and Cadbury brings joy! When we went up, we could see cute and colorful props on the seats. On top of that, we were given the “boarding ticket”. HOW CUTEEE!!

We didn’t had to wait for the crews to tell us to put on the props. We automatically put it on and starting snapping away.

The purple ticket Meryl was holding in her hand was the “boarding pass”.

On the way to the venue, we also participated in the best tweet competition where 3 best tweets would be selected and rewarded with the hashtags #joyridersg #cadburysg.

A similar picture from below was used with the caption:

“Heading to somewhere marvellous with Joyville! #cadburysg #joyridersg http://instagram.com/p/XwT3TojEJu/”

Miss Fruit Top was giving out chocolates to all the blogger onboard and we were screaming like little kids. How carefree. I feel like a kid all over and kids are happy people.

“Now, hand over all your chocolates. Make me a happy pirate. I can be the pirate of Jelly Beans for your Marvellous Creations.”

Reached our destination and more fun begins! The whole place was booked for the event.

Local music band “After hours” were there to play good music too. And not forgetting the marvellous magicians too!

Still very joyful.

What attracted me first was this blind tasting booth. I DAMN SMART HOR I TELL YOU.

Being a Cadbury fan, I can differentiate them VERY well. Hehehe. I didn’t get any wrong and I was so proud of myself I tell you.

The prize was an EXTREMELY *SCREAMS* CUTE Cadbury 2GB thumbdrive.

That’s Ying Jie tasting the chocolates. We have to get all 3 chocolates right in order to win the thumbdrive.

My turn. Peanuts, peanuts peanuts. I am not called a Cadbury Fan for nothing!! I won a thumbdrive for myself and people started asking me for help because they wanted the thumbdrive as well but couldn’t get it right. I won too many times to the extent that the lady had to ask me to eat 3 flavours at 1 go (mouth). So sad! I could only win 1 for myself. The rest were for the other bloggers there.

SO FUN!!!! WHY I SO PROUD AND THICK SKIN! Hahahaha.

Indeed. A marvellous journey to joy. The chocolates there were free flow. We were told to grab whatever we want home. Of course, I brought so many home that I was so scared that my bag would snap. Hahahaha. I really really like them. I always buy them from NTUC whenever I visit them.

I also won more chocolates for one of the best tweets! YAY~~~~~

So the Marvellous Creations comes in 3 different flavors.

Yellow: Jelly Crunchy Bits
Pink: Jelly Popping Candy Beanies
Green: Peanut Toffee Cookie

All come them come in small bars too except the Peanut Toffee Cookie.

My favourite is Jelly Popping Candy Beanies because I love jelly beans and the popping candy makes it fun to chew!

Yay! Meet the 3 Marvellous ambassadors. Brad Lau, Beatrice Tan and Maureen Ow!!

They had a pinata to hit each with their respective flavors. Brad and Beatrice managed to break it within 2-3 hits but Maureen needed more hits. LOL so cute!!

Almost there~~~~~~~~~ Eat more chocolates!!!!

Each box had a hidden chocolate bar with a sticker. And that’s the golden ticket to the night safari.

Total 3 boxes and YAY!!!! I managed to find the sticker after quite some time of digging!!!

It was quite a free and easy event so everyone was busying acting cute, being happy, trying out chocolates AND TAKING PHOTOS.

So cute!! But I was photobombed. Hahahaha.

We had a really fun time taking instant prints at the Photo Booth! And I had a lot of stupid faces. LOL. The most epic one is below. HAHAHAHA. I can’t believe that this face is going to be found in Facebook 🙁

I was too happy and lively that I lost myself. I got drunk in chocolates. I came up with caption for each photo.

“Oh my god?! Really? Cadbury? GIVE ME, GIVE ME MORE, GIVE ME MORE!”

“oh so shyyyy. I tried to sing Britney’s song”

“How about the chocolates singing “I believe I can fly~~~ right before I get digesteddd~~”

“If I can’t eat it, I’ll still lick it like a chocolate hotcream”

“But just by licking is not enough!!!”

“Nevertheless, chocolate has this special power to make one happy, so let’s spread the joy shall we?”

“Okay lah, come I give you a hug and more cadbury later.”

Time to stop fooling around and act all decent again LOL.

Here’s a picture with the pretty Beatrice!

With Uncle Joy and Brad!

Mehmeh, feeling all happy like a little girl.

It was time to bid goodbye (AAAWWWW) but I really like the idea of taking the joyville again 😀

Look at the smiles on our faces, it just goes to show how successful the whole event was!!

I am sure that you will love Joyville as much as me too!

Goldwell Colour Zoom 2013

April 3, 2013maybeline

The celebration of the 10th anniversary of Goldwell’s Colour Zoom was at Dream (old Zirca).

As one of the world’s top color and hair care brands, Goldwell is highly regarded as an industry leader in the latest hair fashion trends and for 2013, Goldwell is kicking it up a notch with its Color Zoom BEAUTIFY Collection of new hair trends, created by its Global Color Zoom Creative Team.

Brought my bestie along for the event. You will be seeing more of her in my event posts now 😀

The stage. And my my, Dream looks like a good place to party.

Cranberry Vodka.

Girls always do what they do best while waiting 😀

With flash. Thank god our face aren’t too oily even though it was already night time.

The Color Zoom Global Event is an annual phenomena since 2007. Within the Color Zoom 2013 BEAUTIFY collection, moderate shades are mixed with unconventional colors to create unique effects. All color schemes show a flowing transition by merging different shades: Earth, rusty shades are combined in an innovative way while pastel candy colors give blonde-hair an unexpected appeal.

First up was the opening segment by Ken Hong (Singapore).

He is the Goldwell Regional Ambassador for Asis as well.

Followed by Fascinature by Delos Oh of Sabun Cabane (Singapore).

Delos was an International Competitor for Coldwell Color Zoom 2012 under the Global Creative Category.

I would say that his work included more colors.

Another Fascinature by Reno Tan of Hairloom (Singapore).

Past national winner for Goldwell Color Zoom 2012 for New Talent Category.

Similar to Delos, they had more colors in their hair works.

I like this blonde coloured hair with a streak of pink.

Beautify by Peter Wu (Taiwan).

He’s the Goldwell Global Master.

His models that day showed us the lively side.

This hair combination (Colour + Style), isn’t it stylish and suitable for Asians?

Avante Garde by Mario Krankl (Salzburg, Austria)

Goldwell Global Master

He has been a hairdresser for 28 years. With 20 years of working with Goldwell under his belt, he has been a part of Color Zoom Master Team for 2005, 2008 – 2012.

Being a veteran in the Master Team, he has worked with Challenge Winners who bring about fresh perspective into the Team. With new insights, concepts provided and his experiences, the Global Color Zoom Creative Team develops a trend collection that are relevant to the world of fashion and beauty.

Let’s take a look at his works now. And I must say that I really like them especially the first picture below.

They give off the princess-y and doll-liked aura.
