Event Report : Celebrating Surabaya's 722nd Anniversary with Estee Lauder Indonesia
9:13:00 PM
Heyllo...
Another event review for ya today, lots of them this month eh :D. We celebrated our beloved city's 722nd Anniversary (boy, isn't she old) with Estee Lauder Indonesia!
Thank you Sabsab for the pic! We all looked at different directions *LOL* |
So i actually was informed about this event by Ms. Susi from Estee Lauder while i was attending another brand's even (she was like, pulled me to the side and said "Next week, we also going to have an event! Come ya! With your friends!"), she recognized me from the fashion show and she also stopped Sabsab and Kathy when they passed by (haiii Bu Susi!!! *wave wave*). She told us she'd contact us via Sabsab and sure enough, we were invited to this event last Saturday :
As you can see from the invitation, it is not an exclusive bloggers' event, but Sabsab was given the quota of 10 persons (not necessarily beauty bloggers) so we went and invited mostly our blogger friends anyway. There's also a way for Clozette members to attend and receive a goodie bag (which we're super envious about >.< more about that later!) so it's really an event for all Surabaya ladies. This has its plus and minus, of course...
The event started at 1 PM (and quite on time too!), i already made sure that i went earlier (i went out with #Undecided, A and Av beforehand-went to #Undecided's grandma's store to meet up with our beloved seamstress, we love custom-making our clothes now! The store's close by to CW already) but i forgot that it's a Saturday and the traffic to the West area on Saturdays are always horrible >.<-we were stuck at the street in front of CW for half an hour or so zzzz-in the end i was about 15 minutes late and the event already (just, thankfully) started.
The event's held in front of their counter in Metro Department Store and when i arrived, i saw my fellow beauty bloggers cluttering around taking pictures of a model and MUA at the set up alongside with two MCs.
One of their prided products that were used and introduced during the event was the Advanced Night Repair, heard so many good things about it |
I dunno why but my stupid camera kept on focusing at the background and blurred out the demo! ZZZ. I didn't even realized it at the time >.< |
Add concealer where needed |
Then set with some powder |
Brow is tres importante, like i always say |
Some light and simple eye makeup |
Finishing up with some lippie |
The MUA applying concealer around the line of the model's lips for a neater result |
Then she used lip liners, followed with lipstick and finally some gloss |
The soft, natural and sweet result. I love how the MUA works swiftly but with great result. And when they said it's an everyday makeup, it's really suitable for everyday usage! I find it a bit amusing when the theme is everyday makeup but the end result is thick enough for attending an award show *LOLOLOL* (that means it's even thicker than normal party makeup!) |
One more pic because this model's so sweet looking and always smiled nicely at us instead of glowering hahahaha |
The talented MUA, love your work, Miss! I kept on telling my blogger friends how she works so fast with a nice result! |
The products used in the makeup demo. I covet that gradient blush on!!! |
Powder on |
Mascara |
Eyeliner |
Finishing up |
The end result. Still light and suitable for everyday look, of course. Love the MUA for the consistency! (pic by Sabsab) |
The event really felt like a star-studded event because of the celebrity doppelgangers! Not only the second model, but the male MC really reminded me of another local celebrity! I couldn't put my mind around who he reminded me of and it's killing me-until Ms. Wulan called him "You, Nassar KDI!" and i burst out laughing, WELL OF COURSE!!!
Hello Mr. Nassar KDI's doppelganger!!! |
It was a fun time, and we had a lot of laugh during the event, but i have to be completely honest (when do i ever not?), i did feel a little invincible *LOL*. After the event, nobody even said anything to us except to Sabsab (who's our coordinator for this event) even when we were standing in front of them filling in the registration *LOL*. I KNOW it's not a blogger event, and i don't even expect to be treated differently just because i'm a blogger, but even as a regular attendant-shouldn't they be more friendly to us? I've never been treated this way before and it kinda rattled me (not mas "Nassar" though, he's very nice and even waved to us when we met again later).
Maybe we're spoiled because brands are usually very welcoming to us (even during non-blogger exclusive events), i don't know. I'm writing this on behalf of my blogger pals, weirdly most of them were more pissed than me hahaha i dunno why i'm so chill... probably because i arrived late and didn't have to deal with being ignored and had to entertain myself like the others while waiting for the event to start *LOL*. So for brands, just a gentle reminder... Please be friendlier. We're definitely not goodie bag hunters (we all agreed to come to this event thinking that we're not going to get anything, so we're not there just for the goodie bag alright...) and the fact that we took the time to attend and make your event merry should be respected. We're not asking for much, just some respect we definitely deserve ^^.
Anyway, we decided to make the most of our time together (FYI, the main reason for us to attend event is to be able to meet each other and hang out!) and had fun ourselves.

Shasha saw the lounge and insisted to snap pic of "the posh spot" LOL Nessya, Lina, Sabsab, moi, Shasha, Yessy, Lala, Dita and Oline |
Of course, gotta make full use of out personal, living selfie stick :p |
Had fun at photo booth too |
LOL at the cowboy looking preggy lady! Oh yeah, dress code was Touch of Batik and my rangrang skirt is custom made, you can order Mindy Skirt in rangrang at @prestigeshopaholic ! |
With the Double Wear All Day Glow inside. I'm not going to lie, we're very jealous of what the attendance from Clozette received *LOL* |
Thank you Estee Lauder for having us and for the generous goodie bag, my current fave foundation that i am using is Estee Lauder's that i received from their counter opening event, maybe this BB Cream would be my next fave?

Is the Estee Lauder's Double Wear All Day Glow B build-able, like you can make it thicker as you apply? How about the finish, more of matte or glossy? I like that the models turned out to look like wearing no makeup and only natural.
ReplyDeleteI haven't actually tried it! I'll review it once i do!
