 Mamonde Brand Story

"Inspired by Flowers"

The flower, a sign of beauty and a symbol of grace; is also magical with its ability to speak to the soul in a which words cannot express. The blossoming flower, its colors and pleasant scent emits a natural inherent vitality and surging energy that lifts the mood and comforts the heart. But there's much more to this extraordinary plant. 

AmorePacific Research Institute discovered the close relation between flowers and a woman's beauty.

Advanced research was then carried out on various flowers; from the root to its stem and petals to discover the amazing power and energy that the flowers possess. Findings the reveal that flowers contain moisturising and skin-nourishing ingredients that not only provide nourishment to the skin but also moisture and balance oil production to maintain a vibrant skin. 

Years of research concluded with the inception of a unique innovation and formulation that use floral extraction to re-invent beauty. AmorePacific named its innovation Mamonde, a brand that inspires feminine beauty with flowers through its flower science technology.

On the left: South Korean Brand Manager giving her speech on spot, she has a translator next to her to translate in English.

  Entering the 'World of Mamonde', the event commenced with an introduction of the brand followed by a walk to the 'Mamonde Garden'.

 

At the garden, beauty bloggers were given a detailed briefing on the R&D of Mamonde which covers the 5 key flowers used in Mamonde formulation, flower science, technologies and its floral properties. 

 The walk continues as we reach Mamonde's product experience area and finally, a 'Flower Beauty Class' that captivates participants with all things floral.

It was 30 minutes challenge for everyone to create their master piece, flowers' petals are given, scissor and super glue, and a stick.

Can open the side of it and remove the seal to use the BB Cushion with puff. 

It is simple and easy to use in this compact. 

How to use the SyaLaa BB Cushion Cream?

You can just use this alone on cleanse skin. 

Jut apply the amount of BB cream puff that from the T-zone, from the side out evenly to the entire face. I also reapply on lower eyelid to cover my dark eyes circle. Don't forget about your lower nose, you need to cover that part too. 

Tips: Regular washing of puff is required other wise it will affect the unformly double makeup.

Other than SyaLaa BB Cushion, there is SyaLaa Pore Silky Balm.

It helps covered pores and fine lines. 

                                           It gives skin feel smooth and soften the skin.

If you plan to use this, I would suggest you to use SyaLaa Pore Silky Balm then only follow by foundation or BB cream.
Before putting on makeup, take some SyaLaa Pore Silky Balm on the back of hand.
Slowly apply on the area that you prefer namely large pores area.
Don't forget that you still need to put on base makeup such as foundation, BB cream.

I was in a hurry and I get into my car, using the SyaLaa Pore Silky Balm and SyaLaa BB Cushion Cream. Instead of using finger, I find that using sponge with Pore Silky Palm is easier and faster. But I haven't find the right size sponge for it.

Makeover Class

I attended the Malswisse's Makeover Class, I won it for Mother's Day contest but my mom is not free to attend so I bring my friend to attend the makeover class. It's four hour class but we shorten it to three hours. Malswisse is a school of beauty and wellness.

It's fun lesson for us as we get to learn about way to clean the makeup brushes.

We chosen to attend the Malswisse at Empire Subang Jaya. They have another two branches in Malswisse SS2 and Malswisse Fahrenheitt 88.

At the event in honor of Malaysian women, fashion designer Nurita Harith. 

Being a woman is not easy and we face different challenges in our daily lives, and we have to constantly find ways to tackle them. The journey of becoming a fashion designer is definitely not an easy one but she keeps her head high, armed with passion and ambition in everything she do, she's proud to be where she is now. Her first fashion show was in the Kuala Lumpur Fashion Week 2006.

For model and L'Oreal Paris spokesperson Tracy Cheong, poise and elegance is a natural extension of her personality. Becoming one of the Top 5 finalists in the Miss Astro Chinese International Pageant 2010 finalist has opened doors for her in the modelling industry, and she has appeared in numerous publications since. In 2012, her acting debut in Kepong Gangster also received positive reviews from critics. Today, Tracy is a successful model an a budding actress. 

Celebrities with their Women of Worth

Nana brought along her best friend, Ira who is currently a host and mother, while

Nurita had her aunt, Wan Rozeini with her, and 

Tracy Cheong was accompany by Karena Teo, a fellow model and actress.

Woman of Worth that plays an important role in our lives. 

It maybe our sister, mother, cousin, or even childhood friend.

A true Woman of Worth has a great support system in a best friend who stands by her side no matter what, and this relationship is cherished for a lifetime. 

Whille Nana, Nurita and Tracy were honored as Malaysian Women of Worth, they also took the opportunity to introduce their own Women of Worth at the event. 

To commemorate its 30th anniversary, L'Oreal Paris Color Riche is showcasing all 22 shades!

Color Riche is the world's most iconic lipstick, because there is a color for all women.

From shades of various pink, mauve, fuchsia, red, coral, and beige tones, each Color Riche shade hugs the lips with vivid color and nourishes with a blend of plant-based oils.

It's so easy to be empowered - just pink one Color Riche lipstick (or more!) and make it your signature shade today. With so many shades to choose from, even your very own Woman of Worth deserves a Color Riche lipstick to show how much you value her. 

Finally but not least a photo of me with Tracy Cheong and Karena Teo
