Thank you for coming to the #MWS10 Luxury Makeup Party with Chanel!

August 15, 2017 Paris B 28 Comments

Hello peeps!

I did a brief round up of the #MWS10 party I held with Jo Malone London that it would be remiss of me to not give Chanel a similar tribute because their generosity blew me out of the water!

Just over a week ago on 5 August 2017, I held the #MWS10 Luxury Makeup Party generously co-hosted by Chanel Malaysia in conjunction with my 10 years of slogging at the blog. It was held at the brand new Chanel Beauty Boutique at KLCC (at the concourse area, if you’re wondering where it is) and much to my surprise, Chanel had actually closed the store just for me! Ok, us. But who’s counting!

We’d earlier agreed that because it was a Saturday, and therefore a busy time in store, the store would remain open to the public. I told everyone to flash their special invitation, so we can be sure that only invited attendees would get the special treatment prepared for them.

So, imagine my surprise to arrive at the store at 10am, to see the “Closed for Private Event” sign up, alongside barricades! Attendees had to check off their name at the entrance, and I know we disappointed a few potential customers who were wondering who this bloody upstart was, spoiling their Saturday morning shopping! 😀 Wah, as I would say in local colloquialism, it was a “syiok sendiri” moment LOL 😀

For those who aren’t sure what I’m blabbering on about, it is this party that I issued an invitation for. I had space for 11 readers to join my friends and I for a special little pampering morning at Chanel, where 20 of you were quite literally given the run of the store and pampered with makeovers, drinks and canapes. So that was fun 😀

Thank you lovelies for joining me at the #MWS10 Luxury Pampering Party with Jo Malone London!

Hello lovely peeps!

Can you believe that it’s almost A WEEK since the #MWS10 Luxury Pampering Party held at Jo Malone London at Pavilion KL? Goodness me – where has the time gone?!

You didn’t know we had a party? Ah! That’s why you have to follow my social media channels lah LOL! The invitations didn’t go out here on the blog, as it was quite a special little thing and I wanted it to be super special for you.

But in a nutshell, here’s what I did. To celebrate surviving 10 years of blogging, I wanted to do something special this year. I ran a massive giveaway that many of you participated in (thank you for all your lovely kind wishes!) and I had originally planned for a little party to celebrate, but the planning process floored me, so I shelved the idea.

But along the way, as these things happen, I spoke to the lovely people at Jo Malone London, and they very kindly allowed me to host the first #MWS10 party in their new Pavilion KL store! Was I stoked?! WAS I STOKED?! 😀 Fragrances are such unique and personal things, and I absolutely loved the idea of having 15 readers experience this!

I was so overwhelmed on the day, and so caught up in the excitement (it’s been 3 years since the last MWS event!), that I totally forgot to take any photos! Or post on Instagram. And my one Instagram Story didn’t post – do I suck at IG stories or what?! 😛 But the lovely JML peeps provided a professional photographer, and I’ve just received the photos! So, come and see what went down at the #MWS10 Luxury Pampering Party! (I’d suggest you read till the end, but hey, you do you! 😉 )

Sneaking you a peek of the upcoming Laneige Perfect Renew Anti-Aging Skincare range

December 21, 2015 Paris B 6 Comments

It’s always a little exciting having a sneak peek into what’s coming from a skincare brand, before it’s launched. But having to then sit on my hands until it’s available KILLS me! I want to tell you RIGHT NOW! Haha…

Well although the Laneige Perfect Renew skincare range is only due to be relaunched in January 2016, I was given the go ahead to tell you a little about it right now. After all, we are but a week away from the new year, so it’s not like I’m spoiling things for anyone – unlike with Star Wars – The Force Awakens. I haven’t seen it, please don’t spoil it for me.

In the new year, Laneige is launching their Perfect Renew range, with an improved formula. What you see above, is their star product, the Perfect Renew Regnerator Serum, which as the name implies, serves to regenerate and revitalise your skin, for smoother and younger looking skin.

The technology behind this, is the discovery of what is called, “baby triangles”. Apparently, when seen under a microscope, firm, young skin is made up of triangles, which are small and well-formed. But as you grow older, these triangles lose their elasticity and firmness, and stretch out. So, what Laneige aims to do in their revamped Perfect Renew range, is to retighten these triangles, and firm up skin.

Let me tell you a little more, what is available, and if you haven’t seen it, a little episode of MWStv that takes you with me to the Global Press Event in Singapore 🙂

World Oceans Day 2014 with La Mer celebrating The Blue Heart (watch the film!)

June 8, 2014 Paris B 4 Comments

“You may never see the ocean. You may never touch the ocean. But the ocean touches you.”

With these opening words, I was irresistibly drawn into the short film “The Blue Heart”, made by National Geographic to share the lifetime passions of Dr. Sylvia Earle for the oceans and what they hold for us and why we need them. I watched this during a short breakfast presentation by La Mer, who have donated and work in a partnership with National Geographic year to year to support the next generation of ocean explorers and to celebrate World Oceans Day.

It isn’t surprising, considering that La Mer’s primary ingredient is sea kelp, which grows in the ocean. You could say they have a bit of a vested interest.

Incidentally, today June 8, is World Oceans Day – a day to recognise the importance of the sea as a vital ecosystem and to take action to preserve its delicate habitats and wildlife. We may not realise it, but a lot of what happens to the sea impacts our life.

The short film “The Blue Heart” is beautifully made and I found the video, so I’ll share it with you below. It did resonate with me and make me want to go out there and save the oceans, I can tell you. Damn! I’m suggestible 😛
