Event : Sharp & Kose Chinese New Year Workshop


Hello!
A long belated post which I have yet to share with you readers.
Couple of weeks back, I managed to attend the  Sharp & Kose Chinese New Year workshop held in Gardens Mid Valley to give some tips to the ladies who are preparing to glam up for the lunar new year :)
Been a while since I drop by any event. I am just not a friendly person to go to a random event and start befriending people =P

The Sharp and Kose workshop was a pretty short and sweet one. We get to learn about both brands at a go.





I have long know about the goodness of the plasmacluster technology in the Sharp Plasmacluster range of products. In fact I own some of the plasmacluster products which I cannot live without!

When in a beauty event. of course Sharp will have something to boast - their ever famous Sharp Plasmacluster Hair Conditioning Hair Dryer. These dryer doesn't 'dry' your hair theoretically, instead it retains moisture to your locks and generates good ions to prevent your hair from getting into static moments :)

As of this year, Sharp have released a more extensive range of the hair dryer compared to previous year where they only have one signature one. Now you can have beautiful smooth hair on-the-go too! There's a compact travel sized version at only RM299 that you can tuck into your luggage.
And they come in the most luxurious colors of gold, rose pink and black. Check them out at the nearest electrical shop or visit Juztshop to purchase if you have already know about the goodness :)



Mr Chew from Sharp, explained about the plasmacluster technology that is in their product range and how it works and benefits the user.

Participants tried on on the conditioning hair dryer


Here I am holding the compact-sized one retailing at RM299




Of course, another highlight of the day is none other than the famous Japanese brand of skincare - Kose.
Participants were given lots of skincare tips to achieving a clearer and cleaner complexion. And of course no workshop can be complete without trying out the products as a whole :3




The spread of goodness on every table ready for use.

The Kose Sekkisei range is a very popular range that is produced form plants derivatives and are therefore very gentle to the skin. I was very attracted to this particular one, the Kose Sekkisei Lotion
Like any other Kose products, all of them actually looked the same apart form the size difference. They are all in the signature blue bottle. 
The Kose Sekkisei Lotion is a moisturising emulsion that is to be applied onto face with cotton pad for greater effect, according to the beauty manager. Besides the daily routine of using it as a mild moisturiser, one of the benefits is that it can be soaked into sheet mask and be used as a moisturising mask. As it is mild, and if you afford, slapping on a piece of 'em on daily basis will definitely be the most luxurious treat for the skin!

This is how you do it to infuse a sheet mask with wholesome of  goodness.
And the soaking process continue with style!  LOL!

A proper guide on how to use the Lotion Mask

Everyone gets to try it out!


The cleansing cream which I love! Cream cleansing is actually an enjoyable process as you have to knead and massage your face throughout and this gives perks up your face at the same time while cleaning it up.

Check out the below! I randomly clean the top of my hand and pat on the Sekkisei Lotion. Can you notice how clean and supple it is on the middle area? OK, maybe you can't really see a 'supple' area, but it's definitely soft to the touch texture are slightly looking better



Here's some other products used throughout the workshop;

Gentle Eye Make Up Remover 


  Sekkisei Emulsion which is thicker than the lotion hence more concentrate

We were also given a try on the yet to be launched BB cream, which by now, at the time of posting, I would assume it's already launched =P
I thinkthe selection of BB cream is very subjective to each individual depending on what kind of coverage and skin type you have. This is a very light base one which is light on the face (obviously) and may not provide as much coverage if you have lots to conceal. Of course, you can always use concealer after that. I still like the texture and will be a good BB cream to use on days with no breakout and skins behaving better.

The new White BB Cream

 Sekkisei Supreme Loose Powder is so loose and light it feels great to get that matte look without appearing powdery

From a bare clean face to lotion-emulsion-BB cream-loose powder to complete the almost no make-up look.




Left the workshop with a clean and smooth face all prepped up for the day!



And as usual, I seldom leave any event empty handed. Bought the entire set of Kose skincare on sales during the event and am loving it!

Thank you Sharp and Kose!

A LOL-ling Fun TIme with the LOL Team!

By Cynthia Lee


Oh hello blog world!
2014 have started with a bang for me :)
I finally tied the knot on January 11, 2014, hence you can see that ppst have been so randomly sparse. It was a simple event and of course an affordable one too. After all, we are not called ShoppingKaki for no reason. We have a mission - to shop in THRIFT MODE! =D

Reception corner with all my DIY stuff haha!

Who needs bridal-shop-developed photos when you can get yours done via Photobook Malaysia =P

Through the few coming post, I will be sharing with you some reviews on those blogshops and websites who have oh-so-generously sponsored my 'economical' wedding affair!

Here I am starting off with one of the highlight of the event that everyone grew to love at the end of the event that the crew can't leave on time :/

A must have 'item' to prevent wedding dinners from being hogged by guest wanting to go on stage to sing - PHOTOBOOTH!

It was a very last minute decision for me to go with a photobooth session, but as I do not intend to play the norm of any conventional Chinese wedding dinner where you have to show slides of yourself and the partner from age 1 till current, I thought why not keep them busy doing something else?
So I got everyone LOL-ling for more with LOL Photobooth! =D

Guest get to show off for a whole 3 hours! 

The LOL team preparing before the start of the event.

Some of the props that is going to be over-utilized soon!

Upon committing to their services, the team have asked me specifically on the backdrop colors, the props concept and the photo frame concept so that they can start planning out for the day.
How difficult to assume that any other wedding would want a red backdrop, lovey-dovey props and photo frame with 1,000 love shapes all over. But because I never want to be mainstream, so I had mine in silver/grey backdrop, crazy props and a customized photo frame that matches my wedding card.
And they were working at speed to get all these up and confirmed in, say, A DAY time? Efficient!

Here's some of my favourite pictures for the day!

With the ShoppingKakis : Wei Ni of Peep Boutique, Nathalie and Jacyln!

Blogger friends over the years - Fiona of Street Love and Winnie Yeoh of Vaintips

With my classmates from highschool. Spot me with a chicken!

Spotted a guest trying to down the chicken!

That's my mum trying to be a Diva!

When I appointed the LOL Photobooth for the event, it was really something that I wanted to do for my friends who is attending the dinner. That is most probably 60 guest out of the 160 guest. Yes, the rest were people I barely get in contacts and were clans from mum's end *like.any.other.chinese.wedding*

The thrill and excitement of having their picture taken with props have suddenly spread and we have a multitude of characters never seen before surfacing!


Loner goes up the backdrop for a selfie    |  Some serious looking people wanting to show some muscles


Kids hogging the backdrop like I am organizing some kid's contest. And they walk over on their own!

More kids wanting a shot of fame!   | I spotted this kids a gazillion time!

Doctors become rockers   |        Aunty becomes a bunny


Spotted the restaurant waitresses sneaking out for a picture or two!

All pictures taken on the day will be printed and is available to be brought home. If you have 8 people in the picture, there will be exactly 8 sets of the picture frame available so that everyone gets to go home and ramble non stop on their bravest attempt in striking a pose :)


Pictures ready for guest to bring home!

Being Chinese, there's bound to be so much hoo-haas on what to do and not to do when organizing a wedding dinner event. I am glad I did the right thing by getting in a photobooth session. Everyone sort of went home with an achievement - they look great in the filtered pictures haha!

part of my stash from the night =D

The LOL team was really swift with their work attending to guest of all ages from 6yeras old up to 75 years old! With their reasonable price I am happy to see that they have sufficient manpower to man the booth, photoshopping every fussy pictures, snapping pictures non-stop and ushering everyone who have never heard of a photobooth session to try it out!
