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

- 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

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 😉

Wow!! Paris dearie! This party looked awesome!! Congrats! 😀
Wished I was there though 🙁 All the food and goodies, so yummy~licious!
Congrats to all the winners too 😉
Thank you AnT! Wish you could have been there too! Nevermind. Hope for a next time 😉
Yay! Next time will be a blast too! Good things will get better and better 😀
Lets hope so and perhaps next time you’ll be able to make it 😀
Yes indeed. I will pray harder to be able to make it 😀 fingers crossed 😀
Had a blast! Many thanks for your efforts in organising this. And really happy I won the ANR serum! 😀 Was super kancheong during the awards winners announcement haha.
Haha! Counting off the correct ones in your head? 😀 Glad you enjoyed it and that you won something nice. Too bad we didn’t manage to catch up!
Aww man, I would have so so so so so wanted to go! I followed the twitter hashtag so closely that day. Loved all the pics tweeted. Oh, and that goodie bag? Yowza 😛
So pleased that the necklaces were well received. It was such a pleasure to have a tiny part to play in your inaugural awards. If you’re running this again next year, and I really hope you do, I jom to be a part of your goodie bags again if I can 😛
Seriously though, I really think you should do this again next year. It’s great exposure for the brands as well, and I’m sure more and more would love to get on board your MWSawards next year 🙂
Congrats on such a successful event!
PS: Can I please curi the picture you took of the girls holding the necklace for the SCA Facebook page? Thankies!
Thank you Tine, I wish you were here too! It would have been so perfect! We were missing quite a few people this year but who knows eh? If we have it again, maybe everyone can make it 😀 The necklaces were truly the highlight and I am very very touched that you did it all! If we have a MWS Awards Party next year, I’ll bear you in mind 😀 I’ll send you the pics of the necklace models 😉
Such fun! And I was happy to be a teenie part of it too…like Tine, I also CHUP wanna be a part of it next year, hopefully on a larger scale? 🙂
Well done!
Thanks GT and if we have one next year, I’ll be sure to drop you a line! Thank you for sponsoring 😀
Wow~! Look at everyone~ Congrats Paris. I was just too shy to join lah 🙁 Maybe next year?
Can’t wait for more pictures 😀
Aww you should have joined in! It was a blast! Coz I don’t know if we’ll have another 😛
Looked like a wonderful event. Good job Paris (and helpers)!
Thanks Shuaddict 😀 It was lots of fun and I think most people had a good time 🙂
If you have this next year, you need to find a bigger venue. I think more people will turn up. Who knows, it may become something like an academy award over the years….
Haha that would be fun won’t it? A nice big shindig? 🙂 let’s see how it goes next year. Perhaps if we made people pay an entrance fee fewer people will come? :p
Great photos! Now I’m hungry and am seriously wanting to go shop after seeing all those food (mmm, cake!) and goodies. Congrats on a successful party, Paris!!! 😀
You made me hungry with your pumpkin souffle cake so we’re even 😉 would be fun to catch up some day 🙂
Thanks for having me at this wonderful party! It was a delightful event and so good to catch up 🙂 I’m still in awe at how generous the doorgift was! There were just so many delicious samples and goodies… and oh my, the necklace!!! I’m now a fan of Sweet Contemplation 🙂
Sweet Contemplation Accessories is wonderful! I’m so glad you could come to the party. Sorry we couldn’t catch up much but I hope you enjoyed yourself 🙂
I think it’s a good idea to collect a small fee.
Btw, I can also sponsor 2 lucky draws for free nail art service (valid within 2 months). I will do the nail art with my own design (if you don’t mind). Just let me know earlier.
Lovely in every way, PB! Met so many friendly women and was good to see you again, of course! 😀
And you too! We shouldn’t wait so long next time eh? 😉
Congrats Paris! The party was awesome! I am very much enjoyed.. Looking forward for the coming one!
Thank you Juli! See you at the next one then
Thanks again for the invitation! The party was awesome!
And I was so lucky to win the Kiehl’s hair care pack from MWS & Kiehl’s~
