Experience: Chanel Mini Makeover



Ok... Before I start writing anything, I would like to thanks my friend/colleague, Joleen for giving me this two wonderful makeover experience from Chanel. If you do not know, the Chanel from Metro Paragon gave out free makeover by a Korean makeup artist, Kim/Naomi if you spent more than $180.  So because of my friend who spent double the amount, she was able to bring another friend go and she chose me!

Our appointment was 11am. To tell you the truth, I can't sleep at all the night before. That's my second time being makeup by a professional makeup artist but was my first time being make up by a Korean makeup artist! As you know i am crazy about K-drama/ K-pop, being makeup by a Korean is like a dream to me! I was really happy!~

So me and my colleague made an appointment to have our makeover at the following Saturday on 11am. The night before, I am too excited that I kept dreaming about me being late for the makeover and lost the chance of the makeover. Haha.. I know i am crazy but i can't help it! i was awake really early and i decided to still put on my makeup cause i just can't go out with my dull skin. However, i felt lucky that i put on my makeup because i got to learn their proper way to cleanse, tone and moisturize my face. Not only that i learn alot about Korean makeup style too!~ (i will soon post a video and a write-up about this soon after i research more~)

Ok.. if you are lazy to read my bunch of words, you can watch my youtube video about my thoughts and experience and some clips i took over there~
Samples and product bought for the day

Makeup of the day

Free Beauty Samples
These are mainly their Toner, Serum, Moisturizer Cream and Moisturizer Fluid (From left) from their new line, Le Blanc.
Haven't try them so no comments.. haha

Free Foundation Sample

Mini Chanel No. 5
REALLY LOVE THIS! As i have 1 full bottle at home. this little sample is awesome for me to bring out!

Sublime De Chanel Waterproof Mascara
Haven't try Chanel Mascara before.. But even if it's good, I still will not spend so much on a mascara that got to be thrown 5 months after open.
Free Makeup bag
This actually have a wire going round the bag which is good! it helps to fix the shape of the bag. It is also very soft.~ However I will not use it since it is in WHITE! 
You know what you will get if you bring Whitey out...

Chanel Pre-lotion
This is the only thing I got that day... After my makeup is done, I tell Kim about my problem on my forehead which started after i starts working. Immediately, she said that it is oil clog and my case, it "pop" out everyday. immediately, i nodded my head because FINALLY someone understand what i am suffering from. I always tell the beautician about my problems but they don't believe that they just "pop" out the next day! So without hesitation, she said that i will have to do more scrub/exfoliation. She recommend me this product which will help to do mild exfoliation. She said that this will slow down my metabolism. This is to use only at night. Before you even put your toner, get a cotton pad soak with a little bit of the Pre-lotion and wipe it all over my face and neck. Also, it smells really nice too!

I have to say that after a few days of usage, I realized that all the bumps seems to be flatter than before. I can't say that they are gone but it's so much better than before. This costs $75 but I bought it for $60. So to me, if this can heal my ugly bumps, i don't mind spending this money. 

The following week, my same colleague actually have another makeover but she don't really like the way they makeup (as she always like to use just shimmery white eyeshadow) and force me to go for another makeover. However, I was also rushing for my project and do not want to go through the work makeover. So, i requested them to touch up my makeup and hair. Frankly, i did not regret the decision because i learned another skill on how we should touch-up our makeup. I always have difficulty transforming my day makeup to my night makeup. 

So in conclusion, i really have a great experience from both of the mini makeover and i have great fun too! In this post, i really want to thank my colleague, Joleen, the makeup artist, Kim and the Professional Chanel Beautician who helps me to do the recording too! haha~

Peace~

Video Post: Feburary Collective Haul

Hi babes~  I just posted a video few days ago about my Feburary Collective Hual~ I thought i didn't bought alot but in the end i did... haha~ Enjoy~]

Friday Mood

If you guys do not know, I am the type who likes to doll up beautifully on Friday. I will always try to wear my best outfit that suites my mood that day. Since i am working at the town area, I will always restraint myself from buying till it's Friday. I know... That weird but this is the way I discipline myself and control myself from my unhealthy appetite of the beauty products.

Last Friday can be said one of my most fun Friday. Me and my Colleagues were searching for cloth for our stores display at Arab Street and decided to visit Haji lane. I was totally excited because it is so-called my first time going there. I did went there once to do some shooting a few years ago but all the store is close and i didn't visit any of the stores too. Yes.. I know... I am like too outdated not to go there. I really love some of the interior of the shop-houses. Some really gives me great inspiration.

So with our super thick skin, we walk into some of the stores. Surprisingly, the stuff there are not expensive! To me, Haji lane is like a life website that have a lot of blogshop connected to it. With this description you can understand the price range of them. However, i can't promise to say that all stuff are cheap because some shops are sells high-end product. It really depends on the store you visit.

Butterfly pose? LOL
Old School Pose~
Fully Bloomed Butterfly pose! haha
Batman formal shirt. Cost Price: $49.50 (after 10% discount)
So that Friday, I have really a hard time looking for my best outfit of that Friday because what i wanted to wear have to match with heels. However, i have a date after work with my secondary girlfriend, Shu Jun.  Therefore in the end i work a old dress i got last year (i think) which mainly shows my sexy back. LOL... That's the only place I thnk i can show-off since I am fat now... HOWEVER, after i reach work, i realise that my dress to bag to scarf didn't suites each other at all! I have no choice but to use the ultimate solution... That is to act and walk like a princess... As if you are wearing the best dress.... HAHA...

Here are some images that i steal from my friends... Please enjoy~
