Its the day after the MWS Readers’ Choice Awards Party and I’m pooped! Was running on pure adrenaline yesterday and I’m absolutely drained today. I am collating some photos so I will have a party post go up some time next week for the benefit of everyone who wasn’t there 🙂 I had an absolute blast and I hope everyone who went did too 🙂

Before that though, I have a whole list of generous sponsors to thank for making the Awards Party a resounding success! Most contributed gifts for the (very heavy!) goody bags with many saying yes without even knowing if they were going to win or even be nominated! 🙂

In no particular order, I wish to thank the following sponsors of items and vouchers for our (very heavy!) goodie bags!
- Kiehl’s Malaysia
- Ah Yuan Soap
- Revlon Malaysia
- Olay Malaysia
- Pantene Malaysia
- Hada Labo Malaysia
- Himalaya Herbals
- Vichy Malaysia
- Esmeria Organics
- Estee Lauder Malaysia
- L’Oreal Malaysia
- Garnier Malaysia
- Maybelline Malaysia
- LacePetals.com
- Apronbay
- Poise Organic Wellness Studio

A very special thank you goes to Dior for their very generous hamper of skincare, cosmetics and fragrances worth over RM1,200 combined that went to two very lucky winners (Beatrice and Sharon) drawn from a hat! *jealous* 😉
Lucky draw prizes were also generously sponsored by
- Kiehl’s Malaysia – Argan Oil hair care pack – won by Jean
- Estee Lauder Malaysia – Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair – winner of Favourite Serum – won by Hsu Jen
- Clinique Malaysia – Happy in Bloom fragrance (won by Erin) and Moisture Surge Extended Thirst Relief – winner of Favourite Moisturizer (won by Yet Mee)
- Apronbay – 3 vouchers for complimentary waxing treatments – won by Lyn, Pauline and Siew May
- Poise Organic Wellness Studio – voucher for spa treatment for 2 – won by Reese
- LacePetals.com online lingerie store – anything from the store – won by Ee Fei

I have to express an extra special thank you to Tine of Sweet Contemplation Accessories for so generously sponsoring a handmade necklace for every attendee. They flew in all the way from Melbourne, Australia and are beautifully made. I am very touched at her support and I can promise you they were the highlight of our bags!

Another thank you shout out to Just Heavenly for adding a touch of A Slice of Heaven in the form of a lipsmackingly delicious Choc and Cheese cake! Ever since discovering them, they are now my to-go bakery for all things cakey and thus far, I haven’t been disappointed at all! (psst! Try their Red Velvet cupcake and Black Forest cake slices – absolutely divine!)
And last but not least, my heartleft thank you to all my friends who worked tirelessly behind the scenes together with me the past 2 months to make this party happen. It wouldn’t have run as smoothly or be as much fun without their help and input along the way.

PE, Beetrice, Domncroxd/Yvonne, Connie, Rinnah, Xin, Lyn and not pictured are Juan/Toughcookee (our gorgeous emcee) and Yani (Edited to add: Also Chai i.e. Mr. Prettybeautiful, our official photographer for the day 😀 )
As I promised at the beginning, I will have another post with more pictures go up next week with some posts from those who were there 🙂
There are rumblings of whether we’ll do this again next year. My answer is: We’ll see – if we have the support we just might 😉
xoxo
