Cosmopolitan x Priceline Beauty Workshop

Hi All!

Last Thursday, I was invited to a Beauty Workshop created by Cosmopolitan and Priceline. It was held in Pitt St mall, near Zara. The workshop was held in Melbourne and Brisbane as well. 

At first, I didn't know what to expect, because I never been to one before, but an event held by Cosmo and Priceline can't be wrong, so I decided to go and asked my pretty friend Jeanice to go with me. I was so looking forward to this event the whole day I was at work. Hehe.

Public but intimate

The stage

And look who I met! So happy to see them again! :D

Tram and Alice

Before the event started, Helen Dowsley, world renowned makeup artist, asked if I would like to come on stage and she'll do hollywood themed makeup on me. I was quite hesitant at first, but Jean said yes for me and Helen was like "there you go, your friend is answering for you!" I was so nervous yet excited! :D

So here I go!

what am i doing -__-

teehee!

It was such a fun and different experience! I tried to act cool the whole way, I think I did a pretty good job hahaha. 

They asked another girl to do colour-blocking makeup and GHD for hairstyling too.

And...drumroll!! The host was Cosmopolitan's Beauty Editor, Leigh Campbell! She is sooo gorgeous in person! 

So pretty!

The event was mainly about sharing makeup tips and tricks. I learned some really helpful ones, so I'd like to share it here too.

When Helen applied foundation on my face, she didn't apply all over my face, instead she applied on just in the middle area on my face, mainly on my t-zone and then blend it out evenly. Especially if you just want to touch up on your makeup after having a long day. My face looked fresher without feeling heavy on makeup!

Leigh also talked about applying fake lashes on top of our actual lashes not on the skin. That will make the fake lashes more natural.

She also mentioned the newest trend of makeup, which is colour blocking. It is okay to wear two bold colours at the same time, just like colour blocking your clothes.

The most important tips in my opinion is to practice as much as you can. Makeup is about experimenting and practice makes perfect!

Pretty Jean :)

Now, what's that bag that we were carrying? It was a bag full of goodies! They were so heavy but looking at them made me feel so excited!

There are so many products in there that I really can't wait to try! For example, the VS Sassoon Curl Magic, Nads Eyebrow Shaper, Revlon Photoready Primer, 1000Hour Nail Foils, and so much more!

:O

Overall, I was so glad that I went to the event and I hope Cosmo and Priceline can have more of similar events in the future! Do go check Cosmo's latest issue that comes with Priceline beauty book for free! I've always loved reading Cosmopolitan, it is one of the best magazines out there in my opinion, and Priceline is just a heaven for beauty junkies (needless to say that).

Last but not least, I managed to get a photo with Leigh and Helen! YAY!!

I'm the lucky bitch! :D

Thanks for reading and following my blog, my lovelies!

I really appreciate all of u! :D

Priceline Haul

Hi everyone! How is everyone's weekend so far? Hope you are ready for my second blogpost! :D Yesterday I went to Priceline at World Square just to find a good shampoo for my dandruff (eek! :( I know!), but it is Priceline and they are having a huge sale so of course I came home with more than I originally planned!

First of all is the shampoo that I needed! I used it once already and I can already feel the effect! My scalp is less itchy and feel fresher! It costs me A$13.99 for 100ml, quite expensive but I know this is a good anti-dandruff shampoo so it's totally worth it!

Thumbs up!

Still at the shampoo alley, I spotted a shampoo that said "Oatmeal Shampoo", it immediately caught my attention! I know that oatmeal is really good for the skin thanks to Bubzbeauty! So I quickly grabbed the shampoo, read through the description which said that it's "for a dry, itchy or sensitive scalp", double yay!! This is what I needed too! I have never heard of the brand, Dermaveen, before but still I decided pick up the shampoo and conditioner as well and as a bonus, they are 20% off! Woohoo!

A$9.59/ea

The next thing that I bought is the Garnier CleanDetox Cleansing Wipes. I have used this product before and I really liked it. It doesn't irritate my skin and doesn't burn my eyes either. Plus it has the anti-oxidants and detoxifying as well. I am currently using the Dove one just to compare them, but since Garnier is on discount, I decided to buy one just to stock up. A girl can never miss a good deal, right? :p

A$5.59

For skin care, I needed a new body cream because mine ran out. My friend, Sherly, recommended me Redwin's Vitamin E cream after I told her I want a non-sticky cream and absorbs quickly into my skin. She is quite a beauty junkie as well so I didn't doubt her at all and bought the cream.

ONLY A$3.99 for 300g!! XD

I bought Nivea Creme as well, just to have something that I can throw in my bag and moisturise my skin whenever I need to. Nivea Creme has been around for ages so it's definitely a good product!

Going to make-up, I didn't buy much, in fact I only bought one thing. BUT! This thing contains three other things! LOL! I have always wanted to try L'Oreal Color Infaillable eyeshadow, because I've heard quite a few good reviews on it. So I was browsing through L'oreal, found the eyeshadow but quite bummed when they're not on sale, because I want to get more than one. However, thanks to my 'lihai' eyes hahaha I spotted a box that has the eyeshadow, a lipstick and a mascara! I was so excited and it's only A$39 dollars, such a great deal, and then I saw a sign that said it's on sale for only A$15!!! What a steal hahaha! That just made my day! :D Unfortunately, I threw out the box already, but I'm sure it's easy to find it at the L'Oreal station.

I spent A$61.23 in total for 7 items so I am a happy girl! :D Thanks for the sale Priceline! I had a great time shopping there! Oh, and the SA there are very friendly as well, considering how busy Priceline can get! :)

That's all for today, guys! Hope you enjoy this post and let me know if you want me to review any of the products in details! 

See you soon!
