Cosmobox First Unboxing Party by Box Culture

Hello Beautylicious. We meet again in this post.

I am so excited to share with you my experience attended one of the event for Bloggers. Do take note this going to be a long post. Happy reading !! =)

On 23 June 2013 Box Culture has organized their very first “ Cosmobox Unboxing Party”. Thanks a million to Sze Yong and Lee Yen for extended the invitation to me. The Event was held at “Cupcake Chic” at The Curve. The dress theme was “Pink and Black” which also the theme colours for their Beauty Box i.e.  Cosmobox. I personally love the colours combination including the metropolitan look at the box cover. I have been subscribed to their box since December 2012 since it was featured in Female Magazine (in December 2012 edition). However, I missed the June 2013 box (never realized that my subscription has come to an end in May 2013). So, when I was invited for this very first unboxing event, I was extremely happy. Box Culture, you guys are really thoughtful. Love you!!

For those of you who are still new, Beauty Box is a beauty subscription that comes via box or bag. It contains few sample/deluxe size products (sometimes in full size). There are vast beauties products in market not only limited to skin care range, make up range, accessories range, hair care etc.  Beauty Box offers their subscribers to try and indulge new products/brand in market. Reason being, there are at times we are bit uncertain to purchase the full size products due to the price and size. We also worried if the particular product or brand does not fit to our skin, it would end, wasted. So by subscribing to Beauty Box, it is one of the alternative ways for us to experience the compatible of the products in market. I personally feel that this Beauty Box provides the following:-

1.   Save Money, Time and Energy – With low subscription fee every month, you are able to enjoy and try few items in one box. Sometimes the products featured include full size items and it worth more than the subscription fee. Furthermore, you can save time and energy from wonders in malls to gather samples from beauty booth.  That’s awesome rite?

2.    More knowledge about trends and products in market – This Beauty Box is also educating their subscribers by introducing the new brands/products in market. Not only that, the description of products on what and how is very useful for users as well. We are no longer wonders how this or that products works.

3.   Chances attending Beauty Workshops/Events – From the products and brands featured in the box, the Beauty Box provider then would collaborate with the participating brands and arrange some workshop or events to provide more knowledge about the products to their members. 

Ever since this beauty box concept was introduced and popular in States, I could not resist getting one for myself. But one is never enough and I ended up subscribed to few beauty boxes. In the end I become Beauty Junkie addict. Every month must subscribe one at least for myself, LOL. 

Before we talk further about the event, let me just talk little bit about the main organiser of this event, i.e. Box Culture. Box Culture was founded in July 2012 by two lovely ladies named Sze Yoong and Lee Yen. They introduced their beauty box (concept box) called Cosmobox. Their mission is to share their love and passion to subscribers towards beauty thru Concept Box. With subscribers fee of RM33.00 permonth, we can embark ourselves into the journey of discovering beauty inside out.

The Event started with a welcome note by Sze Yoong (one of the Box Culture Co-Founder). She introduced the collaborating sponsors which are; “Cupcake Chic”, “Juice Works”, "Bake by Joelle", Loreal Professionnel and “Think Party Thought”. Then Sze Yoong requested Swee San (blogger from Sweet Spot), also one of the host to explain further about the Cupcake Chic background, the venue, the menus (which tempting and yummy!). We later found out that Swee San is also working with CupCake Chic.

Check out little bit of sneak peak of the event:-

Decleor Workshop - by Vanity Trove

Hello Beautylicious, 

On 22 June 2013, Vanity Trove collaborated with Decleor Paris and organized the signature Decleor Aromatheraphy Facial Workshop for their members. I signed up for the program for RM120 and attended the afternoon session. The event took place at one of the Decleor outlet at Publika, Mont Kiara. There were about 15 pax in total who attended the event. 

The event started with an introduction and little bit of history about “Aromatherapy” by Ms. Vernice (the Decleor Trainer). Then it proceeded with the origin of Decleor, Paris. Decleor was founded in 1974 in Paris. At that time it was known as CLEOR (The Clé en Or or Golden Key that opens the Temple of Beauty), and its philosophy was "Be more than skin-deep" and each initiative was designed for the wellbeing of the body, the skin and the spirit, an astonishingly holistic and cutting-edge approach.  After various research and creating fabulous-plant-based treatments products, the Team which consisted of a beautician, a doctor, a shiatsu teacher, aromatherapist and physiotherapist latter introduced  a range of novel treatments associated with a line of unique products with 100% pure, 100% natural without colorants or preservatives known as AROMAESSENSE^TM. 

After 35 years, DECLEOR is known worldwide as the largest aromatherapy cosmetic brand. The popularity of professional treatments of AROMAESSENCE^TM range continued to grow rapidly in their network of beauty salons & flourishing spas.

These are the sneak peak during the event.

A complimentary Decleor Signature Aromaplasty Facial Voucher worth RM230. I cant wait to experience the Decleor Aromaplasty Facial myself.

From this workshop, I learned the power of the essential oils. They also taught me the correct way to clean, to treat and to touch my skin/face. Well, I was bit rough tho. From the tips given, it helps to correct my normal facial routine. After the DIY session with Decleor products , I feel fresh and relax.

"Bloggers Massage Party" at Amante Nail Spa & Body Care - by Butterfly Project's

Hello Beautylicious!

Butterfly Project's is organising a "Bloggers Massage Party" at Amante Nail Spa & Body Care. This Party will be held on 6th July. Wow!! I love Body Massage. I love to be treated like a king or queen (king sounds impossible rite?). Anyway, I would love to participate the programme. I hope I can be part of the family. 

So, in order for me to join the PARTY, I need to share with you guys why why why and why we need a massage.

Body Care - Do you love to get your body “pampered”? The trends of having a Body Massage and Spa are no longer a “luxurious” activity. Nowadays people tends to do it as part for healthy lifestyle. Since that it will give benefits to our body inside out, there are so many types of body massage and spa in market to choose from.This is one way to care and love our skin and body that we looove so much!!. I love to get my body scrub to remove dirt and dead skin. I hate cellulite and I would love to have a great body. Lol. So by receiving these treatments, its a way to care our body and have a bodylicious. Yum Yum..

    Relaxation physically – Do you ever feel your body numb and bit heavy to perform duty at work? Have you ever encounter tiredness and sleepy although you sleep early night before. These are some of the symptom that your body need to be treated and massaged. Well, we need body massage to relax our muscle. It has suffered with excessive amino acid which caused stiff and strains from our hectic working life. Little bit of strokes at shoulder and head would reduce the pain and release the stiffness of the muscles there. Body massage is one way to relax the muscle, to loose it up and make it more ready for further activities. Due to our hectic life at work, sometime we have not enough time for some exercise. So by having a body massage, it is part of way to train our muscle.

      

     Relaxation mentally - After being pressured at work, it is best to treat your body sometimes with body massage or spa. The aromatherapy scent would relax your mind and body. This is the best time to escape from our daily life. Feel great when been treated like a queen. Not only that, some massage place would treat you with the aroma from flower tea. This aroma would relax your mind too. It appears that the aromas from different types of flower would treat some illness. The greatest of Aromatherapy effect!!!

    Maintain Health/To Cure Illness - Instead of depending on medications/drugs to treat some illness, there are also so called medical spas which are not new in market. Boasting Acupuncture, Cupping or "berbekam" and Ayurveda are some of the example of medical spa treatments. The method of these traditional treatments has been upgraded to customise with our lifestyle.

     Well babes, that part of the reasons (which I can think of now) as why we need a massage. I hope Butterfly Project Committee would consider to choose me. Until we meet again in my next post.

     Stay Beautylicious Babes, xoxo

Benefit Party - Organised by Box Culture and Plasterdolls

Are you a Benefit fan? Because I am and I can’t wait to share with you guys my experience attending to one of their event called “Lets Fake Up – It’s a Party!!!”.

When I received an email invitation from Box Culture on the Benefit Party event, my heart was thrilled with excitement. In order to reserve the seat, we need to make payment about RM20 and this amount is refundable at the event. I was the first who confirmed to attend.

The event was held on 01 June 2013 (It’s Saturday baby) at Benefit Boutique located at 1 Utama (New Wing). The Theme is “Fake-Up”. At first I was bit uncertain what to wear on that day. So, that morning I grab cute floral pink dress (because its summer), Trench Coat (that I got from Primark – during my trip in London), a hat (that I got from Melaka), a pink stripe heels and my beloved Mini Tanner.

My dress of the day - dressed as a Spy for the "Fake-Up" Theme. This gorgeous lady also dressed for the event. She is so Daring. (picture by Box Culture)

 

When I reached at the 1 Utama lobby area, I noticed few people were looking at me suspiciously and I knew why. But I don’t want to bother so much because I dressed for the theme. And I pretty sure there are few girls that will dress-up more funky and havoc than me.

So, I reached at their Registration Counter at 10.45am. That was my first time encounter with the two lovely ladies, Ms. Lee Yen and Ms. Sze Yoong, the founder of Box Culture. They also introduced me to the owner of Plasterdolls, Ms. Jessica Wong. I loved their Cosmobox April 2013 Edition when they collaborated with Plasterdolls (Its their Bumper Month). At the registration counter I was given the RM20 benefit voucher (see, I told you its refundable) for me to shop around. 

Before the event start, I mingled around and look at their collections. I am so adore with their make-up palettes. There are varies to choose from and It has been my all time favorite. Not only that, I’ve tried their brow and upper lip wax service at their brow bar. It was bit hurt (it was my first time). All this while, I am so used to threading (so traditional, rite?). I felt little bit of tingling sensation (cheewah!!). It appears that their Brow Bar service is their signature service. Do take note that the service is not only limited to brows and upper lips. You may extend to wax whole body (if you want). Well the price for wax service for brows and upper lips is RM55. Since that they have a promo that day, lucky me they charged for both services at RM38 (I have the RM20 voucher ~ yuhuuu (> . <)).

 

 

 

 

I had my chance tried their Brow Wax Service at the Brow Bar. I look funny rite? I know. (picture by Box Culture).

The event then started with an introduction and history of Benefit Cosmetics. Then they proceeded with a make-up demo for summer and not to forget the tips and tricks how to apply their latest arrival; “Fake Up”. It is a crese-control hydrating concealer with Vitamin E and Apple Seed Extract which hides dark circles and diffuses fine lines. Have you come across any concealer with hydrating ring surrounding it? Well, it was my first and I have gotten mine when they launched it in early April 2012.

The moment when I was announced as the "Spy Girl" of the day. Yeayy!!! Picture post with two lovely ladies, founder of Box Culture. (Picture by Box Culture)

Then come to the fun part.  At the end of the event they announced who is the winner for the best dress of the day. And guess who? Yeay!!! It was my happy day. I received Benefit Hamper worth RM325. Besides, I received a complimentary door gift by Benefit and Box Culture. Not only that, I purchased the lip and cheek stains (posie tint, cha cha tint and sun beam) for RM65 and I received cute speaker by Benefit. (Its my best buddy in office now).

These are the items that I received for being the Spy Girl of the day. From left, Hoola Ultra Plush Lip gloss, See & Bee Seen Sasha EDT and Big Beautiful Eyes - eye contour kit.

And these are some of the items that I received as door gift. The cheek and lip stain trio (Posie Tint, Sun Beam and Cha Cha Tint) was purchased for RM65.

I hope you beautylicious enjoy reading this post as much as I enjoy writing it. See you guys at my next post. XOXO
