Shu Uemura feat Takashi Murakami Holiday 2013 Collection : 6 Heart Princess!

Hello dear Nitartstudio Guests~!

Who's ready for Shu Uemura's Holiday 2013 Collection!? *me! me! me!*

Alright! let's explore them together! *excited* (>___<)

Last Saturday, 9th November, i was invited for Shu Uemura Counter Opening Event at Lotte Shopping Avenue, Jakarta, Indonesia. Aside from the counter opening, this event was also focusing on introducing their latest limited edition in 2013 : Shu Uemura Holiday (Christmas) Collection feat Takashi Murakami called "6 Heart Princess".

Who's Takashi Murakami?

Takashi Murakami was born in 1962 in Tokyo, and received his BFA, MFA and PhD from the Tokyo University of the Arts (formerly the Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music). He founded the Hiropon factory in Tokyo in 1996, which later evolved into Kaikai Kiki, an art production and art management corporation. He currently lives and works in Tokyo.

What is "6 Heart Princess"?

6 heart princess (6HP) is Takashi Murakami's upcoming artwork, an animation film to be aired as TV series in 2014. 6HP is built upon “Majokko(magical princess)” concept, a unique theme that constantly appears throughout the history of Japanese animation from "Sailor Moon‟ to "Pricure‟ series, where a girl transforms herself into her otherself in a parallel universe between real and surreal. The story of 6HP consists of 6 good princesses against 1 evil princess (Black Princess). For the collaboration with Shu Uemura, the Pink Princess, a representative of 6 princesses, and the Black Princess has been selected as two main characters.

I was SO EXCITED for this limited edition collection because i'm such a huge fan of Art, illustration, manga, anime and such! when i saw the packaging, photo & video promotions of this holiday collection i was instantly in love~!!! GYAAAAA~~~ (\( ^ O ^ )/)

Just in case you're curious, here's the promotional video sung by Miku (Vocaloid) GYAAAA~

O.K, let's move on to the counter opening event, shall we? :)

First of all, the beauty bloggers invited were warmly welcomed by Shu Uemura Indonesia representatives.

She's introducing the new color bar. Well, i must say it's really organised yet still managed to look elegant.

The products are placed according to the shades. Very neat looking, right?

Another color bar spotted inside of the counter. The color combination of this side is insane! I wanna bring all of them home!!! :(((((

This side displays Shu Uemura's top 10 best seller products with their cleansing oil placed on number 1 just as expected. lol

Introducing Shu Atelier! this is a fun side, you can get a make over done according to your needs. They have 3 different kinds of lighting here (i personally think this is a smart move, because most of the make up counters here tend to have only 1 source of lighting).

Ella (Shu Uemura's Make-Up Artist) and Irina (Model) 

Irina was about to get a make over by using all of the Shu Uemura's Holiday 2013 Collection. How lucky~ :P

Make Over Result! Irina looked way more awaken and not as dull as before.

Okay enough with the talking, moving on to my Fantasy Make-Up creation. I called it as "The Blue Mermaid".

What's the story?

Once upon a time there was a Blue Mermaid who looked unfriendly, so the other mermaids were scared to approach her. The Blue Mermaid didn't try to approach them first, nobody knows why... eventhough deep inside her heart she felt lonely and badly in need of a friend. The others didn't know what's on her mind because she's as mysterious as ever. She spent days and nights just on her own and eventually... die alone. </3

Here are some final result photos of "The Blue Mermaid" character i came up with :

The Estee Lauder Companies 2013 Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign!

Hello dear Nitartstudio Guests~! (^____^)/)

I'm back with another event report

It's the Estee Lauder Companies 2013 Breast Cancer Awareness (BCA) Campaign in Indonesia!

What is the Estee Lauder BCA Campaign?

Over the past two decades, this campaign which was launched by the late Evelyn H. Lauder (co-creator of the Pink Ribbon and founder of the Breast Cancer Research Foundation) has been a leading voice for breast cancer awareness around the world and has helped save millions of lives.

The BCA Campaign is devoted to defeat breast cancer through education & medical research. The Campaign is currently active in 70+ countries & to date, has raised more than $48 million to support global research, education & medical services worldwide; $38 million of which have funded 152 Breast Cancer Research Foundation® (BCRF) research projects worldwide. :)

The Estee Lauder BCA campaign event in Indonesia took place at Plaza Senayan Atrium, Jakarta, last October. 

The event started by this beautiful lady as the MC greeted all of the guests warmly. The theme of this year's BCA campaign "Let's Defeat Breast Cancer. We're Stronger Together." is meant to increased public action and commited to raise $5 million.

Moving on to an informative talkshow regarding breast cancer.

Third speaker

Fourth speaker

All of the speakers were all very encouraging and informative! :D

The MC shared a story of her mom, apparently her mom is a survivor of breast cancer! She's super proud of her mom and asked all of the guests to applaud her mom, who was there as one of the guest.

Don't forget to do self examination of your breast, ladies! when you feel any discomfort please go see the doctor immediately! >__<

After the talkshow has ended, we're presented with modern Indonesia collections fashion show, so bright and colorful~

The models for the fashion show were not professional models, they're members of WITT (Wanita Indonesia Tanpa Tembakau) women! :D

All of the speakers took a pic together on stage

i snapped a pic wearing a "pink ribbon" distributed on the event :)

The BCA Campaign has seen incredible support from its many brands and employees throughout the world since The Campaign launched in 1992. More than 120 million Pink Ribbons have been distributed by our employees over the years worldwide.

The Estee Lauder BCA campaign has made significant progress in bringing awareness to breast cancer and the fear that once surrounded the disease is being replaced by hope and inspiration.

Evelyn H. Lauder believed that no one can defeat breast cancer alone, this spirit of unity is at the heart of the campaign as it brings people together across the globe to defeat this disease. 

Let's defeat breast cancer. We're stronger together, ladies~!!! 

Thanks a lot for visiting dear beauty enthusiasts!

Stay healthy and beautiful inside out!

Until then, take care~! (^____^)/)
