WEVents Presents: The Retro YOU


This post is up and its for the ladies!

If you haven't heard, wevents will be celebrating their 4th anniversary of the YOU series. And whats so special about wevents? Its only for the ladies (sorry gentlemen, but you're not invited). Seems to be like a stress reliever for all working women in Malaysia and this might help us women calm our tits a little. (oops, i might have said too much. hehe).

If you must know what is wevents all about, let me just explain it to you.

What on earth is a WEVent?

Wevent was started by Jeanisha Wan and her company, J1 Cnsulting and organised with the help of a working committee and other supporting working women volunteers.

Wevents was conceptualised by Jeanisha as a social event for women by women entrepreneurs (WEs) during a casual email exchange with a fellow woman entrepreneur. Both realised they have spent almost half of their time working for to servicing companies on events but there were few events for women, by women.

WEVents was born with an objective of allowing women to have an outlet after office hours, get to meet new friends and catch up with peers. All the people working behind WEVents are Wes who freely volunteer their time or provide sponsorship in terms of products or services towards the event. Just so women can relax, enjoy themselves in an event they can truly call their own.

Their philosophy: 
"if you do good to someone, do not expect payback. If someone does good to you, pay it forward."



So where are the details of the event? 

Date: 15th August 2014
Time: 6pm to 9pm (after working hours)
Location: Cititel Hotel

So, well, thats about it. Thats like in a weeks time! Need i explain more? Looking forward to the event! woppeee!

Cant wait to attend the event and tell you all about it.

Review: Seventeen's Makeover Party 2014

Hello chika's,

So earlier i posted a post on the seventeen makeover party 2014 and if you don't remember, you cn check it out by clicking here. I must say that i really had fun at the event. Made new friends and learned something new. Definitely an amazing experience. And i will try my best to maximise not the information so that i don't miss out with all the fun! teehee

Location: Modesto's, The Strand
Date: 19th July 2014
Time: 11am - 4pm

First, guest to the event were served with a mocktail that i think was a mixture of cranberry and sprite topped with a cherry on the side. So you can try that out at home, and as the matter of fact, i might make myself one too! cause it actually tasted pretty good. YUMS! And the whole restaurant was pretty much reserved for the event, super exclusive.  Talking about the attendees btw, everyone was at their best look, fabulous!



The waiting time was pretty long to wait, because we had some late comers coming in. So, i arrived at 11am, the event only started at 12.45pm, which was soooo long. But in the mean time, i got to made a friend, who came alone like i did. So yay! Most of them signed up with their peeps, so it wasn't so much on making new friends. Which i think was really uncool.

So when they opened the event space, i saw these 4 brands which were, Panasonic, Lineige, Casio Exilim and Oxy in their own corners promoting their products. As everyone was separated in groups of 4, i was in the 3rd group consisting of 8 people. So in my group, i was personally more attached to two people which was Julie and Celine. Super nice girls.

So, Group 3 was assigned to the panasonic corner first, and everyone had to pick their own seats, and to our surprise, we had these hair brushes and mirrors and curlers laid on the table. looks like we were given the task to get our hair done ourselves, and i was right! There was an instructor, teaching us how to use the panasonic curler, which i found super adorable, as it was hot pink and with gems on the side. (Total diva hair iron!)





So after using the iron it actually took me awhile to get used to the iron, as it was my first time using a straightener and trying to curl my hair. And i usually just use a hair curler literally to curl my hair if i do so. The instructor did mention about putting hair heat protection lotion so that the heat doesnt spoil and dries up your hair. (tip 1) After a while, it got easier to curl my hair and i attached photos below of the final outcome. Do tell me what you think about it. Ignore the pale bare face that i have. haha


Final outcome of using the hair curler.


After styling hair is done and over with, we proceeded to the Casio Exilim corner. And basically each of us were given a camera to test out. And it was apparently specialised for selfies. (lol) 






The special thing about the camera was that it could stand on its own which made taking selfies easier! How cool is that? Its like a tripod on a camera attached. As you can see, we had a lot of fun taking photos with the camera. 

Another amazing feature the camera was that it had an automatic snapshot feature, and all you need to do was wave your hand at the camera, and it would set the camera to a 3 second timer to get you ready for the shot. And if you're wondering who's these fabulous people in the photos with me, that would be Celine and Julie. Even though i met them for only a day, less than 24 hours, i just fell in love with their personality.  Love, love, love!

When thats over and done, next on the list was Oxy. We were to tryout their new range of products which was the oil control edition which was basically to control oily skin. And whats shown in the photos below, would be a cleanser, lotion, emulsion and a mattifying cream. 



Here's a photo of them showing a demonstration of how to really wash your face and get that oil free smooth skin by using Oxy. I found it a little bit too dry on my face to be honest, but what caught my attention was the oil control mattifying cream. I found that actually worth buying because it keeps your skin oil free anytime any day, even with make up on, you can still apply the mattifying cream for instant oil free skin. I would suggest to try the mattifying cream if you would want to try this particular range by Oxy.


And last but not least was the make up session by Lineige. We were ordered to tie our hair ups to make sure no hair sticks out while applying make up and each one of us, got ourselves a pouch of face brushes and new compact sponge to control on hygiene which was a bonus! YES!


Our hair is all tied up and ready for our face makeover!


We had a beautician explaining and showing us the correct way to apply make up, and not just an ordinary look, but the typical korean cute puppy eyes look. Well, since lineage is currently one of the best cosmetic products in  Korea, i wouldn't be too surprised that they decided to do a tutorial on a Korean look.




And tadaa, the final outcome! Its nothing too much, but it looks natural don't you think so? Its not that bad when it comes to an everyday look. It seems more presentable. If you disagree, do let me know what your opinion would be. I would like to Casio Exilim for the amazing opportunity of letting us try out the latest camera which was uber cute and trendy too.


And oh, one last thing before i forget, how can i forget the best part? GOODIE BAGS! Thanks to the amazing sponsors who were Oxy, Panasonic, Lineige and also Casio Exilim. Woop woop! Everything in the bag was practically worth over RM200 of products man. The best part of any event i must say.

Whats in the bag?
1. Oxy products
2. Panasonic electrical tooth brush
3. Lineige cleanser travel set
4. Casio Pouch



And not to mention, there was a lucky draw during the event, and i was lucky to win myself a nano care! Thank you panasonic for sponsoring, and also Seventeen for the prize! Totally made my day. It was more like an early birthday present for me. teehee.






Alright, i think thats all for now. Looking forward for the next makeover party! teehee

Goodnight peeps

Regards, and much love,
Sara xx

Amante Charity Fair X GOOD SAMARITAN HOME





Hey y'all,

Im sure everyone would like to contribute to charity when they have a chance to. It pretty much resembles humanity in man kind which i find very important. And if you've been thinking about contributing but not sure how to, well here's one you can look forward to!



Theres a charity event coming up organised by Amante nail Spa which the proceeds would be donated to Good Samaritan Home - Home for children in Malaysia for their education.HOW AMAZING IS THAT?! Education used to be affordable for everyone, but with whats going on in malaysia now, the technologies that we need and scientific equipment in order to understand projects more requires money, and especially to the less fortunate, i think this would really help them bring themselves up to contribute to society one day. If you've never appreciated education, then you're on the wrong page my friend. Education is where you start, and as you grow, you learn how to bring yourself up as a person.

So, Amante Charity believes by helping raising funds for this home, it would make learning possible for everyone! From pre-schools students to graduate school, by providing basic education to those who need it most. Well, from how i look at it, who knows one day, one of them would be the ones saving lives from all around the world? Besides, everyones living in the world with a purpose. (which i very much believe). So when is the fair you may ask? It would be on the 7th of September 2014, at Amante Kota Damansara, where you can show support for these amazing young children or future doctors, engineers or even teachers and also to Good Samaritan Home.

Doesn't it make your heart melt being able to help the need? Well, especially if you want to see change in the world, we still need to start small, don't we? And on top of the event, are you aware that you would be rewarded too?! OMG!

Amante Nail spa is well known to housing popular beauty and wellness needs for women, and since they're the host of the event at the Amante Charity Fair, customers can purchase the Amante Charity Coupon Booklet  for RM35. Inside the booklet, it has a total amount of RM35 cash vouchers ( 7 X RM5 cash vouchers) where you can purchase on treatments, activities, food and games at Amante Charity Fair, and also a Bonus thank you Hot Stone Massage treatment worth RM88.

Pretty fair deal don't you think so? You get to contribute and be rewarded?! I say its a win win situation. And after a long day of working hours, I'm sure you would want to pamper yourself at least once a month, so why not pamper yourself with Amante for a good cause in September?




Boys together at home

"Seeing all these boys sleeping together, calling each other 'brother' is an inspiration to us. It have been our desire when we set up Good Samaritan Home to let these children have another family. Daniel comes to the home at the age of 6 years old. He comes from a single mother background. Now at the age of 21, he is doing his final year in culinary arts! He acts as a big brother to all of them and all of them call him 'kook'. He walks the mile as their brother; helping them in their work, showing them how things are done and etc.. His actions has inspired other boys and girls to feel at home."
