The Face Shop - Natural Sun Eco Bloggers Party


I attended the Natural Sun Eco Bloggers Party hosted by none other than one of my favourite Korean brands; 
The Face Shop!

The party was held at Backstage Cafe, a nice and cozy cafe with cool woody interior located in the very unassuming industrial Kallang neighbourhood.
We were greeted with warm sunshine the moment we stepped into the cafe as the team from The Face Shop did a very good shop in setting up for the launch. 

See!!



Our pretty host Alethia, also dressed in sunny yellow for the sunflower theme! 
Welcoming all of us and introducing us to the Natural Sun Eco Range.

Why did The Face Shop name this range Sun ECO Range???
Simply because they believe in eco friendly beauty!
Ingredients used for the production of this line are also obtained from organic sources.
Organic mean growing on soil/ground that are free or have not been exposed to man made pesticides and fertilizers etc..  
The product comes with a double sealed sticker to ensure product freshness.

We were treated to canapes and drinks while waiting for the presentation to begin.

Next up, 
a product demonstration by trainer Cariscia on the winner of Top Girl 2013; Sheena Phua 
using the Natural Sun Eco Smart Cushion.
A product I've grown to love alot cos it not only provides sun protection of SPF50+++ PA, 
it provides some light coverage on my not so perfect skin!


TADAH!!!

Love their personalized name tags :)

There was even a time for us to play the Suncare Blingo Challenge!


Chloe won something!

Time for some pictures and exploring around the cafe!

YumYum!





All of us were gifted with a personalized stalk of Sunflower,
the theme for this range of products.

What all of us went home with!
A special thoughtful gift package from The Face Shop :)

Let's take a look at what's inside the package!

1) Natural Sun Eco Smart Cushion SPF 50++ ($41.90)

Review:
I really like the packaging of this product!
Its sealed with a sticker to ensure product freshness and to maintain sanitary quality.
The product comes with a non porous sponge which is really good cos it doesn't absorb the product, ensuring that most of the product can be applied on your face instead!

This product is quite moist, gives you sun protection and it provides light coverage too!
Great for those of you who like some coverage without piling on the makeup.
It can also be used for touch ups by layering over your existing makeup .

You can set the look with finishing powder.  
I set my look with my compact powder for more coverage cos of my lack of blemish free skin.  



2) Natural Sun Eco Power Long-lasting Sun Cream SPF 45+++

Review:
It has a lotion texture with milky feel.
Though it has a whitish look when you first apply it on your skin, it blends right into your skin without any hint of the initial "white" that you saw.
Great for layering under makeup as a makeup base!

#BeautyFact:
Did you know that the fairer you are, the higher SPH you need?
This product has SPF45 which is great for even the fairest skinned girls out there.

Tip:
When applying this product, 
start with a small amount then slowly layer on more if needed.
Don't squeeze out too much on the first application! 
;)
   
3) SMIM Fermentation Concentrate Total Treatment Essence

Review:
The package came with the small travel sized bottle, the full size bottle is my own.
I've been using this product ever since January and I really really like it!
The sales consultant recommended it while I was doing Christmas shopping back in December.

Its a very popular range by The Face Shop!
This Fermentation Essence has nanofied particles that is easily absorbed by the skin and the skin feels soft and light after application. 
It also prepares the skin for better absorption of the following skin care products. 

Tip:
Use a cotton pad for application and swipe upwards during application. 
The upward movements ensures that the product gets absorbed into the pores 
and the cotton pad sweeps away the dead skin cells.  
Talk about killing two birds with one stone!
;)

Outfit of The Night!

The theme for the bloggers party was SUNFLOWER like their Natural Sun Eco Range 
so all of us were dressed in sunny shades of YELLOW!
I love dressing up to themes or styles so naturally I was really exited about attending this event! 
:)
Paired my sunny yellow midi skirt from The Tinsel Rack with a cute daisy print blouse from Bangkok.
Completed my look with my black booties from Charles & Keith, black necklace and daisy earrings from Lovisa and my favourite high bun!










Thank you Face Shop for the fun filled party and the thoughtful gift package!

Tony's Pizza


Been craving for pizza for the past few days! 
So we went to Shakey's Pizza on Friday but we were too late! :( 
We arrived at 9pm but the manager told us they were closed for the day... 
I was really looking forward to sinking my teeth into one of their delicious pan tossed pizzas but too bad :/

Usually after my work on weekends, there's really not much dining options left. 
The usual would be Punggol Nasi Lemak or MacDonalds. 
But Alex knew how much I wanted to eat pizza so he suggested trying out this fairly new pizza place along River Valley Road; Tony's Pizza.

The pizzeria has a very casual cool vibe that's just great for chilling over drinks with friends :) 
Their selection include the usual canned drinks, iced lemon tea, pink lemonade, lemonade or beer. 
You can also order delicious sides such as wings, fries or wedges to go along! 
You have the choice of ordering the pizza by slice, half a pizza or the whole pizza! 

There are special "After School" promos for students & "Lunch Promos" which lasts from 11-3pm to check out too.

Here's a look at the place!
Very easy to find cos it's located right at the traffic junction. 
You won't miss it ;)



The interior of the pizzeria 
They make the pizza fresh with every order of half or whole pizzas so its always deliciously hot when it arrives at your table!
They have both indoor and outdoor seating area. 

Here's what we ordered!
10pc Wings with "Mild" level of spiciness which is very very yummy! 
Looking at the picture makes me crave for it even more OMG... 
The sauce or should I say, the seasoning was very unique. 
It had a tangy yet tasty flavor that's pretty unforgettable! ♥♥♥
Though it's "Mild", the after taste was spicy enough for us. 
We didn't venture into the "Hot" or "Atomic" category LOL~ 
You can try if you're brave! ;) 
Tongue will most probably be on FIRE!!! >.<



My usual tired self after a 12 hour work day

Our pizza's here!
Alex ordered the Meat Lovers single slice pizza which is a combi of different meats.


I ordered a simple cheese lovers single slice pizza with only cheese


Took some pics with the posters before leaving :)



"Kua Si Mi?!" aka "whatcha looking at?!"
LOL~
Thank you for sending me to and fro from work and bringing me to eat yummy dinners after my work every week! ♥♥♥

Tony's Pizza
Opening Hours:
Mon - Sun 11am - 11pm

You can be sure that we will be going back for their uberlicious wings soon! ;)

Have a lovely midweek!
Xoxo~
