There's always a first time in everything and yea, my first time being invited to an event as a blogger yesterday. So excited when I know that B Blog sent me the invitation for JAPAN Beauty Week!
So actually it was said that the event starts from 11 am, but then I saw in facebook that they said the bloggers are supposed to gather at 12 and I think, okay I'll come at 12....The first thing that started was the Bloggers talk show. So the host came out and introduce the blogger to the audience. First coming out was Meilani from Pygmalion Land and I was like, 'Wogh! I know Pygmalion Land!' *norak alert*
And then the second blogger coming out was Jessica Yamada who usually called Jess and actually she's behind Gowigasa and I was like *again*, 'Hey that's the online store my not-so-close-friend used to get/buy things!'
So the host started to ask to the bloggers how they first active in blogging. Continued to how many times in a week they use facial mask, what kind of mask they use, what mask type that they use, where they usually buy their masks. And then talking about their skin type and skincare routine.
In this session they talked a lot about Japan, like how the weather in Japan affects their skin and such. I realized that Jessica keep pointed that she went to Japan with Stella without pointing who (I was guessing she meant Stella Lee) and actually at the end of the talk show the host IS Stella Lee! I was very surprised because I thought she's blond.... She looked very different. >_<
After the talk show the next session was from Astalift. They start by explaining what cause pigmentation, how is the process of pigmentation and how to prevent pigmentation (Actually I remember what the host said but I don't think I'll explain that so long and make this post such an instant biological post. lol).
It was said that astaxanthin, pico collagen, yeast extract, vitamin C, arbutin, and apricot juice is what helps to prevent pigmentation and those ingredients are in their whitening series.
Followed by the demo of the skincare which starts from lotion, essence and finished by the cream. All is orange in color even though the packaging is white.
This session is quite informational for me. I felt like I woke my biology studies again. LOL.
Next is the session by Kracie. They started by 'Yukata Lady' and honestly, the painful truth is that it's very awkward. It's way toooooooo long that the music keep on repeating and stopped suddenly 2-3 times. The Yukata Ladies were just showing off the products, but really. Too long. But they are indeed pretty. xD
After all the yukata lady thing ended, the MC introduced the person from Kracie Japan and introduce that there are 3 sub-brand from Kracie, which is naive of the cleansing, Hadabisei of the mask and Ichikami of the hair product. Surprisingly, they're doing demo and the one that's doing it was the person from Kracie Japan! At this part the MC and the guy was so funny! >v<
This time it's the session from Menard. One of the booth-lady asked me whether I'm a blogger invited by Menard and I said no. Well I thought I'm not invited by Menard, I'm invited by B Blog... Come to think about it did I think I gave a stupid answer? *sigh*
So actually it's the launching of Menard's and so the host explained how double cleansing is very important and demoed it on Stella's hand. They let us try too anyhow. The lotion, milk lotion and cream. This is for people with dry skin, they said. And next they even let us try the mask. On the hand of course.
After trying I was just thinking that it indeed is an interesting product to buy until she said it's only for professional use only so it's only available in Menard's facial salon (how disappointing....) When the mask dry it becomes exactly like jelly.
Right after the session I then realized the next next (yes double next) person on the right is Rhea! She's that blogger whose face looks like Sunny SNSD. (Only my opinion okayy) I guess she's invited by Menard.
Last session that I attended was from Kanebo. He's (Mutsuya Sakai) doing a make-up demo for the upcoming Chinese New Year. I was hoping the MUA will maybe mention Kate but nah, I only heard he mentioned Lunasol.
I left after Kanebo's session because I was really hungry and so I quickly went to MOS Cafe, eat some food and went home. You guys might think like, why didn't you eat between the sessions? The truth is I didn't really know when the next session would start and I was hesitate, like, I'm supposed to follow the event from 11 to 5 and I thought it's best to watch them all. I wasn't that hungry until Kanebo's session started -__-. Amateur me going to an event and till now I actually dunno whether I can leave an hour or so and skipped 1-2 sessions or no. (Feeling so amateur....)
Below is photo of the booths based on position with the stage on the left of the collaged picture (well just use your imagination..... lol)
Some about the booth (+experience):
1. Hada Labo gave their samples in exchange of our data and doing skin test on their booth (seriously what could be better?!!). On the skin test, super weirdly, my very obvious pores on the T-zone were not detected. Maybe thanks to MJ Skin Lingerie?! (Review coming soon!)
2. I didn't really visit Menard and Astalift's booths because the booth girls were completely ignoring me so whatever.......... Maybe they think I'm not suitable for their products or something.
3. So B Blog's booth was grouped with Kawaii Beauty Japan, Olive des Olive, Million Carats and Halo Jepang. That's where I re-registered and there were some stickers, pins, key-holders, brochures and even name cards.
4. On Kanebo's booth we could get a make-over! Yay! But I wasn't in the mood for one. >_<
5. Kracie gave bunch of samples and masks of their Ichikami and Hadabisei and all we need to do is just fill-out a form!
Overall it's great to attend the event because I could gain so much new things. I like listening to people talking 'bout health and beauty and to know other brands better too. It's what important for girls I think. lol. And it's actually fun for me. xD
