Event - Cosmekita Launching Party

Hello, folks! :D

Back with another event report!!
On last Sunday I went to Akmani Hotel to attend Cosmekita Launching Party. This is my second time going to a launching event, after B Blog.

At first I'm not even sure I'll get an invitation since as what I read back then, Cosmekita will only invite like. 15 bloggers? But then later in the e-mail, I saw so many recipients!

When I arrived there was already quite some bloggers. Good thing that they're also new to this kind of event.
The place is so dim..... My phone is so not cooperating in dim place -_\
I'm sorry if the photos is not good...

First they told us to re-register ourselves and along with that we were given the goodie bag and the door prize number, then to put our bag inside the hall and enjoy the meal outside.

Inside the hall.....

And the table I'm on.

There's also a selfie contest!

And this is my selfie but yea I didn't win but that's okay...

Right when I went outside the hall like it's so crowded! Me myself so shocked that there are THAT much of beauty bloggers along with many famous blogger....

I feel so 'newbie' with just 3 followers but yea screw that I'm very thankful to my 3 followers and those who commented on my posts.

The food....

Seriously the desserts were so good :9

Love love love the pudding :p

When I got inside the MC said that it's 'not allowed' to took selfies during the event and I was like,,, I think we all here would break the rule... lol.

So the MC, named Adam got onto the stage and gave a bit of opening speech.

Followed by Ms. Karmila gave a brief introduction of Cosmekita

And Mr. Kenny to explain everything.

He surveyed things before, and he said on average, girls spend around 400k per month and I was like O_O that's high. :p
And only around 3% of the bloggers, if I'm not mistaken, that took blogging as their main job. Well of course since most people have their own 'real' job and some are still students.
He also said that on average, the rate is 1 blogpost per week. I'd say that's normal.... I can't even maintain 1 post per week anymore!

He gave us some tips to get more viewers. So he recommended to use a custom link, to be active/posting regularly, to sometimes post something out of our usual post (means like, if we usually post about beauty, then we could post about our traveling story or something like that) and to let people know more about us.

He showed us some videos. One is more like a fact all around beauty and internet and one is introducing-advertising Cosmekita itself. I can't really took pictures since the cameraman is blocking the screen! :')

He later also showed a video from C Sanny Lie, who is a PR of Cosmekita. Too bad that she couldn't come that day. I read her blog quite often too.

After that, followed with make-up demo by Olga Agradia. She's a MUA sponsored by Anastasia Beverly Hills! How awesome is that? Anastasia is a famous brand!

She told us how to shape our brow and how to fill it. She first use powder to fill the brow, then a clear brow gel to keep the brow hair direction and a bit of concealer here and there to finish. I learnt those back then from Lasalle College's workshop :D

After that, next is a hair-do and makeup demo by Yamano Salon of Beauty. I suppose it's still only available in Japan...

Hair do is done my Mr. Yazawa Shoichi while makeup is done by Mr. Mitsuo Yamano. The models are C Karina and C Rini. Both of them looked fab already for me but yeah the make over was still done.

Mr Yamano explains that there's Yamano beauty academy there in Japan. (Sorry I forgot the exact name) But yeah I think that it's so cool!

For the makeup, Mr Yamano explained that the camera most likely to catch and give bluish color so he added more orange color.

For the hair do, C Rini's hair actually was curled already. What Mr. Yazawa did was pushes the hair upwards with the fingers. He said that it's currently trending in Japan.

It gives a more volume and it's called somewhat A-shaped hairstyle since indeed it looked like an 'A'!

He also made a flower out of C Rini's hair by braiding them, and the first 10cm from the head is to be stretched over and then rolled to be shaped like flower. (Pardon if the explanation sucks! lol)

And for C Karina's hair, he said that here in Jakarta it's so hot so he thought it would be better to put the hair up so it'd be cooler. He made a bun-like out of her hair.

Next both of them explained on the currently very trending 'gold tattoo' in Japan. It's called Aurum and I swear to you guys it's so fabulous, elegant, classy, you name it! I'm so in love. They later picked 1 blogger from each table to tried the gold tattoo. I wasn't picked but yeah not my luck I guess. : /

On C Rini's hand and eyes

I wish it's available here in Indonesia but really I bet the price would sky-rocketed like crazy to mention that those are pure gold! Oh I'm just a student with not so much money :p

Anyway, a sudden 'chaotic' condition in the hall..... lol *intermezzo*

Mr Yamano and Mr Yazawa also introduced the hair treatment Nudy Aura. I want to take pictures of the shampoo on the table but then several people starts to grab them here and there and it's gone.... I only have this picture lol

The 2 bottles at the back are the Nudy Aura products.

Next up is Ms. Yulia from Japan Softlens to give some speech and all,

Last is the announcement of the selfie contest winners and the door prizes!
There's total of 3 winners of selfie contest, 1 lucky winner from the media, another 4 lucky winner from the bloggers.
I'm sorry that I forgot to took pictures of the winners......

Finally after that we bloggers each was given 3 products to be reviewed in 10 days. Each blogger got different things to review. This is what I got.

Silkygirl Big Eye Collagen Waterproof Mascara in Blackest Black

Innisfree Eco Flower Tint in Azaleas Tint

Milani Illuminating Face Powder in #3 Beauty's Touch

And this is what's inside the goodie bag!

You see that cute pink box? It's the invitation! 

Just so creative and pretty!

I should be receiving a pair of softlens too but C Yulia said it's so rushed that her assistant can't prepare all of the softlens so only some of us that received the soflens. My soflens should be on the way (lol!) at this time. :D

Anyhow, below is ootd that day.... :p

And on that day I only managed to took a picture with C Sasya since I'm just too shy to ask anybody else to have a photo with me and my phone needs like forever to get focused....

I was so surprised when I saw C Sasya. She's much more prettier in real and her face is so small! She looks very young! :3

I took pictures with C Gita, Raden and many other bloggers but yeah they're not mine so I won't post 'em here :p
I met so many bloggers and chatted quite a lot and it's so fun! I love meeting new people :3

Thanks to Cosmekita for giving me the chance to come!

And for you readers, the review of the 3 products I got is 'on-progress' and should be posted by Tuesday.

See you guys in the next post!

With Love,
Carol.
