Once again, many thanks to the lovelies at CLEO and Majolica Majorca for giving me this generous opportunity and a guaranteed fun filled evening. Love you guys tons.

As usual, it was held in the neat and sleek Shiseido office building. The workshop was held in a lovely and adeptly decorated room that resonates well with the theme of attaining a sweet yet desirable look.

Here are close up shots of the luxurious princess-y atmosphere that oozes out from the room,
 

Aren't they just adorable? It kinds of reminds me of my childhood fairy tales fantasies about being a princess, through do have to admit that reality have robbed me of them.

 The makeup tools provided for each individual during the workshop.

The lovely Majolica Majorca products that I can't wait to lay my paws on once I set my eyes on them.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I love the fact that the workshop was once again hosted by the funny and easy going makeup artist, Wilson. 

His workshops are always light hearted and cheery which is a major stress-reliever after a hard day at work.

It was a pleasant surprise that he had recognize me out from the rest as I was an avid fan and supporter for Majolica Majorca as their products are always so tempting and fascinating yet still being easy on the pockets.

Another fun part was that I met Gin again as well, talk about affinity. I was glad to be able to do some catching up since I last saw her.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Getting back to the workshop,

What I love about the hands-on workshop such as this is that I get to play and experiment around with the cosmetics provided without being stared at like some cheapskate at a departmental store.

Being a makeup junkie by nature, I can’t help it if I acted as through I am spacing out when I look at newly launched cosmetics that I do not own.

This me with minimal makeup before removing at the start of the workshop, I personally feel that cosmetics are a basic necessity in my everyday life.

Here is Wilson enthusiastically explaining the latest makeup trends for 2011 and the story behind Majolica Majorca Chapter 30: Sugary Trap.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With further ado, as a picture speaks a thousand words, please enjoy the self explanatory pictures,

The most crucial moment during the presentation is definitely the explanation on how to use their Jeweling Eyes Shadow Quad in the proper manner to achieve the desired effect.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the presentation, it was my favorite time of the workshop, the makeup demonstration and hands-on session,

The first model was given a flawless base foundation to enhance her features.

The second model was given a pair of sexy yet defined looking eye brows.

I loved the fact that Wilson engages the participants by selecting various models for different segment during the demonstration.

The third model of the day is fellow blogger, Annaling who is seated at my table. I love her friendly and approachable character that makes the laughter around my table more infectious.

She was chosen to get her eye makeup done with Majolica Majorca’s PK330 Strawberry Cake Jeweling Eyes Shadow Quad.

With the help of Wilson and a little Majolica Majorca’s magic, the completed look was indeed impressive and sweet. I was surprised at how lovely it looks and how one can actually make pink eye shadow work instead of achieving a bruised looking eye.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Other than being amazed by Majolica Majorca’s PK330 Strawberry Cake Jeweling Eyes Shadow Quad, I was immediately sold when I tried on the Majolica Majorca’s Cream Pencil Liner and the Majolica Majorca’s Puff De Cheek Blushers.

I loved how the Majolica Majorca’s Cream Pencil Liner glides on effortlessly, is waterproof, easy to handle and being versatile enough to create lines that are similar to liquid liners.

Not forgetting the luxurious Majolica Majorca’s Puff De Cheek Blushers with its smooth, velvety texture, lovely hues, fine yet pigmented powder and the soft and functional puff that is included.

Another point to add is their princess-y to die for packaging, I can’t help but grab a few more with its affordable price, functional properties and in a way help to beautify my dressing table as well.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I had a lovely time spent at the workshop, making new friends, experimenting with the newly launched products while learning useful tips and guidance.

Thanks for the hard work for Majolica Majorca’s staffs for the coordination, behind the scenes and for making this possible. 

Setting and packing up must have been such a hassle.

I will now end this post, with my first personal attempt of the bold pink eye makeup look for the day.

I personally find that it was probably a little too sweet for me but nevertheless I had fun donning this look for the evening.

Last month, CLEO in collaboration with Heerens came out with a fabulous shopping extravagant event.

 The lovely pink tag for the workshop, pink is SO the new black.

It’s the Shop-a-thon @ the Heerens, it is a 16 day shopping event with a series of workshops to attend and there is even tempting discounts for the pocket conscious fashionista out there.

I was really glad when I was selected for the: Learn the tricks to flawless skin workshop. It was a makeup demonstration in collaboration with the experts from Inuovi Professionals.

The theme of the workshop was, to achieve a dazzling look that is as dazzling as the Korean celebrities and idols.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The workshop was held on a Saturday and if you girls did not realize, poor me do work half day on Saturdays. After a tiring time at work, I rushed down to orchard for some retail therapy to brighten my gloomy day.

I had a yummy lunch at a western restaurant, followed by going to Kinokuniya at Takashimaya for my Japanese magazine fix and Watsons to get my hands on the Hello Kitty mascara from Maybelline.

Even after wasting so much time, I was still surprised that I was the earliest and the first to reach for the workshop.Thus I went into ALT to continue my shopping spree.

I really love ALT as they have a wide range of products to choose from and their prices are pocket friendly as well. Not forgetting that they too have a good range of Japanese beauty and haircare products that you can’t get in other stores.

ALT is surprisingly not crowded at all and I can take my own sweet time to browse around and try their testers before committing myself. They always have something in store that will catch my attention.

Girls, try going to ALT for all your cosmetics, skin care and hair care fix, and you will be surprised on the range of products there.

Getting back to the Inuovi Professionals workshop,

 

 The workshop was conducted by a pretty lady makeup artist in black from the Inuovi Professionals.

It started out by understanding the characteristics of the makeup styles that the Korean celebrities favour.

They are none other than,

• Natural looking makeup with muted hues.
• Accentuating only their sole most prominent features.
• Prefer thick strong brows as it represents youthfulness.
• Their makeup always tells something about their inner personal character.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After a short chat with the attendees, she proceed on to prep up the face of the model for the day.

Doing the eye makeup to accentuate the model's beautiful eyes.

What I learn from the workshop,

Makeup is not to cover your flaws, it like an extension from skincare.

Use lesser makeup and focus more on skincare as healthier skin results in more beautiful makeup outcome. It helps makeup to adhere better as well.

With healthier skin, there is lesser makeup products to buy thus it helps to save money too.

Sun block is very important. Higher SPF means longer protection from the sun and PA represents the level of protection from the sun.

Buy the correct foundation tone by testing it on the jaw line as it helps to determine whether it will match your face and neck to give a uniform look.

Do not use all fingers to apply your makeup as you will exert too much pressure on your face.

Apply makeup in a downwards motion as hair follicles are facing downwards as well.

For cleansing, use an upward motion to remove dirt and oil faster from the pores.

Shimmer and glitter eye shadows help to revitalize tired looking eyes.

Light coloured eye shadows help to brighten the eyes.

Dark coloured eye shadows give depth and a dramatic effect to your look.

A few moments later,

 TADAH~ Look at the sweet and natural looking makeup that the model is donning.

  

 The lovely goodies bag for the event. Highlights: A sample of the PUPA Multiplay Eyeliner.

The CLEO Shop-a-thon's special freebies that come with the subscription of the magazine.

My thoughts on the workshop by Inuovi Professionals, 

I personally really enjoyed the workshop as the makeup artist from Inuovi Professionals for the demonstration is very knowledgeable. She was also clear in her speech and it was easy to understand as well.

The session was also very interactive with the: question and answer sessions.

The demonstration is on a quick, natural everyday makeup look that I felt is not over the top and is pleasant to the eyes.

I too love the fact that it's not really time consuming and that most of us present are able to achieve and put it to good use.

Many thanks to the lovelies at Cleo and Inuovi Professionals for giving me a fabulous day.

Till next time ^_^
