The Clinique “Find Your Perfect Match” Event!

While the world was at home watching the Royal Wedding on Friday night (and me furiously checking Twitter updates for all the details!) I was at Paragon in Orchard Road for Day 1 of Clinque’s “Find your Perfect Match” Workshop. I was super excited and nervous, because this was no ordinary makeup workshop – I was actually there to co-host the event! The people at Clinique have been reading my blog and knows how much of a fan I am of Clinique (exhibit A, B, C…), and invited me to be a guest speaker at their special event. (And of course I said yes!)

Set up at the lobby area of Paragon shopping center, the workshop event was on Friday evening and Saturday afternoon and was a very cozy, intimate session where Jane Yap, Clinique’s Education Manager and I talked about foundation. We went through stuff like how to find that prefect one to fit your skin type, your formula preference, products to try and other foundation gossip! Though the event was pretty much an open space so anyone passing by was welcome to watch, I was given the opportunity to invite a few of my blog readers and that was extra special.

I was obviously super nervous while on my way there, but once it started, all the nervousness disappeared – it was so much fun and I had a blast. I was especially nervous at a rehearsal session we had because I have never been a “host” before but from what I was told after, everything went well and the event was a success! Thank you to everyone who made this possible and especially Clinique for this amazing opportunity – I seriously couldn’t ask for a nicer group of people to work with and I really enjoyed myself.

Here are some photos from the event that I’d like to share – I hope you like them! (Special thanks to Yasmin, PR-extraordinaire, who kindly took the following pictures on my camera for me, and who also took such good care of me the past two days – thanks Yas!)

My co-host Jane and I.

My friend from highschool, Rosemary and I – thanks for dropping by, Paris! (Inside joke, don’t ask! )

Jessica, Rosemary, Kathy, myself and Xue Ting – my awesome readers! I was really touched that you all took the time to come down and hang out. It was so great meeting you, my favorite part of the whole event.

Guests were treated to makeovers after the demo – isn’t Kathy (right) so adorable?!

Day 2… the nerves started again for awhile ’cause my friends were watching! (And thank you Sophia for lending me your belt to hold up the mic!)

Demos on reader Ivy and Suhana. Jane is hilarious! Wish I could’ve recorded some of her funny “soundbites”.

My friends came down on the second day – Laura, Suhana and Gloria. Laura and Gloria are my close friends and you might recognize Suhana – she was Cleo’s Top Blogger winner for 2010! She’s also the first “blogger” friend I ever met. Thanks girls for coming down and hanging out!
