Hello dear Nitartstudio Guests~!

Good news for Wardah Cosmetic lovers!

They has launched the new Eye Expert Series!!! YAYYY~ (\(^____^)/)

Last Friday, 28th March 2014, some media representatives, fashion bloggers and beauty bloggers were invited to Wardah Eyeconic Soiree at Portico Terrace Bistro, Senayan City, Jakarta to experience a lovely evening and trying out their newly launched eye products. I was invited by Indonesian Beauty Blogger. Thank you IBB!

Thea and i arrived way too early to the venue. lol~ (^__^")

Some time later... all of the guests have arrived as well.

Dresscode : Black and Silver.

I have to give Wardah Cosmetic team credits for this beautifully styled decorations and i bet all of the guests felt really welcomed because each of us have our names printed in front of the table! :D

White roses were pretty much everywhere~

How cute is this? >___<

The MC of the day greeted us warmly

Wardah Cosmetic Product Manager and Make-Up Artist were explaining the details regarding the newly launched Wardah Eye Expert Series : Staylast Gel Liner and Staylast Liquid Eyeliner.

Staylast Gel Liner has Parafin Soy Wax Blend as active ingredients and Soybean Oil as the base, mixed with glycerides (linoleic, oleic, linolenic and palmitic acids) while Staylast Liquid Eyeliner has Aloe Vera as active ingredients and volatile solvent to make the eyeliner dries up fast once applied but of course still safe for the eyes. The final result for the Gel Liner is matte while the Liquid Eyeliner is glossy.

The guests were excitedly trying out the eyeliners.

I chose to apply the Liquid Eyeliner, it was intensely Black!

After done with having the eyeliners applied, we're enjoying our dinner and chit-chatting with other bloggers. All in all, it was a beautiful and enjoyable event!!! <3

My First Impression of Wardah Eye Expert Series?

The modern feeling of "Eye Xpert" typography design.

Ready, Set, Bold! lol pretty creative.

Inside of the "book"

Both of the packaging are identical, chic and simple. The silver caps are made out of plastic, however, the gel liner pot is made out of glass while the liquid eyeliner is from plastic.

The gel liner has an attached brush from the cap for easy application.

Details of the liquid eyeliner.

Swatches!

I love how both of them have intense Black Colour and really easy to be applied.

Waterproof and Smudge Test

Conclusion :

I love how both of Wardah Eye Expert Series : Staylast Gel Liner and Staylast Liquid Liner have intense Black colour in just one stroke, the application is sooo easy as well, ideal for daily make-up look! BUT if you're going to a big event (concert, wedding celebration, graduation, etc.) then i don't reccommend these because the staying power is good, not great. All in all, for affordable products, the quality is pretty good!!! :)

Thank you IBB and Wardah Cosmetic!

Thanks for visiting dear beauty enthusiasts!

See you on the nest post!

Take care~! ^^

Sally Hansen Press Event!

Hiya Dear Nitartstudio Guests~! 

Merry Christmas 2013!

Hope you had a wonderful one (\(^____^)/)

I supposed to have this event report posted since weeks ago but due to some unfortunate events, this post was abandoned on my blog drafts. I'm truly sorry for this late event report!!! Hope you guys still enjoy it nonetheless, because guess what? this is a Sally Hansen event! YAY!

Last month i attended their event which took place at Four Seasons Hotel Jakarta, Indonesia. The exact venue was at the Hotel's spa so the ambience was really relaxing. I arrived pretty early and was greeted by Sally Hansen team, Allison (Australian) and Anne (French), they're so friendly.

Since the event hasn't started yet, i explored the products provided at the venue. There were sooooo many of them! Gosh! i was like a fat girl in a candy store. lol~ XD

Honestly, their wide range of products really surprised me. I knew that Sally Hansen is well known for their nail treatment products so they have very specific products to overcome various nail problems, but now, they also have high quality real nail polish strips and coloured nail polishes.

and... just when i thought Sally Hansen was all about nail products only, turned out i was so wrong!!! :O

 Airbrush Legs

(Allison said, in Australia every model has to use this before doing a photoshoot. It's a must! lol)

 Hair Remover

Finally, Allison's presentation has started! 

Sally Hansen invented "Hard as Nails" in 1958 and it's still a best selling product today (how cool is that?). There are 3 key pillars of Sally Hansen products : beauty tools, nail treatment and nail colour. 

All in all, the presentation was focusing on the introduction of their products and the brand itself, you can find out more about it on their official website HERE. 

I absolutely love how detailed the informations were given, i didn't know anything about their products at all besides the treatments range and now i know way more! yay!

Oh, there's an interesting thing i should share with you guys, from this event i just found out that everything you can do to your face, you can do it to your nails, too! (including putting on mask, etc.) :O

After Allison's presentation has ended, we're moving on to manicure session! *excited*

Color options

i chose the color inside the red circle on the photo above, but too bad they didn't bring it…

I ended up choosing 3 shades,

1. Pretty bronze-rosy gold colour called Pennies For Heaven

2. Mysteriously charming teal colour called Jungle Gem

3. Sparkly teal colour called Mermaid's Tale

Comfortable and relaxing manicure room

Shella (Ochell) and i 

we're busy taking pics for our beauty blog. lol~

The result!

O.K, so before you guys judging me for not having my nails covered in the same colours, please let me explain, lol. Because the shade i originally wanted wasn't there, i decided to experiment by wearing different colours on both hands… and well, as weird as this may sounds, i gotta say that i actually kinda like it! it's so bold and unusual. *_____*

After i had my nails done, i had a great time talking to Allison, she's so sociable and easy to talk to.

Allison and some of the beauty bloggers

If i could give an award for the healthiest food and drinks provided on a beauty event i attended in 2013, Sally Hansen would be an easy winner!!!

From left to right :

1. Beet Root - Orange - Ginger : lower blood pressure, weight loss program.

2. Tomato - Celery : aids digestion, anti aging.

3. Carrot - Apple - Cucumber : cures diabetic and pain management.

4. Pineapple - Apple - Ginger : antioxidant, strengthen bone.

A beauty event isn't complete without a group photo, right?

with Ochell

If you haven't tried Sally Hansen products and are interested, you can easily get their products at selected Guardian, Watsons, Matahari, Metro, Sogo, Centro, Glow stores. 

Thank you Sally Hansen for inviting me, it broadens my knowledge about the products which i really like. I really appreciate it! :D

See you soon, dear beauty enthusiasts!

Take care~!

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 ^ )/)

Packaging

Photoshoot (the black & blonde haired girl is the same person!!! O__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.

After we're done touring the new Shu Uemura counter, Shu Uemura representatives chose 2 persons as the best dress. 1 person represents The Pink Princess and another represents Black Princess and GUESS WHAT!?

I won as the Black Princess and was rewarded the Enchanted Black Parallel Pallette. It's coincidentally the packaging i fancy the most out of their Christmas 2013 Collection, YAYYY~~!!! (\(>____<)/)
