Hello everyone!
Swanicoco, the 2018 hottest brand in Korea is now here in Malaysia!
Some of you might not be familiar yet with Swanicoco. Before I continue in introducing the new product, let's learn a little bit more about Swanicoco.


It's a natural cosmetics company that only focusing on natural ingredients for the best product's quality. The company started off it's business by creating a natural fermented soaps and now they are actually the top natural cosmetics company in Korea. Their ingredients is mostly using grains, fruits, vegetables and Korean herbs that go through BIO Fermentation to provide the maximum skin improving effect. Moreover, it's Eco-friendly!

Actually their skincare products were already launched here in Malaysia, but now there's a new product from them and 50Gram will be the first to sell their new product! Thanks to 50Gram and Swanicoco for sending the new product to me, I will be reviewing Swanicoco 1st ever limited edition lipstick in Malaysia!

YES, it's a LIMITED EDITION.
Let me present you the.....

Swanicoco Show The Velvet Lipstick (Black Edition)!
I heard that this lipstick really comes in limited quantity because there will be no restock after sold out. If you really want to try it out, you have to act fast. (^__^)
Here's my first impression, the packaging is nice. It's packaging design is very minimalist with only three colours, which are black, red and white, make it looks more elegant in presentation.


There are three vivid colors in total for this Show The Velvet Lipstick range but the color that I got here is the Juliet Red because it's the first and only color available in Malaysia now. It's a red lipstick, a very red lipstick color. I was quite surprised with the color because it's a very vibrant color and I rarely wear such a bold and vivid red lip color. 

It was said to be moisturising and softening because of it's natural moisturising ingredients, Carnauba Wax and Natural Oils. It did look moisturising as you can see in the photo the lipstick is glowing.

Just for your extra information, below is the  Ingredient List for Show The Velvet Lipstick:


Tried to swatch the color on hand and it was nice. It's a red color but with a little bit of orange in it. I thought that the lipstick will be a more glossy type but it turned out to be a bit matte. Just one swipe on hand, the color was so pigmented.


I tried it out on my lip and the color was so nice. The texture is a bit powdery and it gave a matte /velvet finish. The color was so pigmented with just one glide. Although it gave a powdery feeling on your lip, it won't dried up my lip.. My lip still feel moisture and it also minimise the appearance of lip line. It literally smoothed my lip surface and made my lip looked fuller. Normally this kinda velvet finish lipstick will tends to become patchy after some time , but this lipstick still stayed nicely on my lip after some hours. It did faded a little bit, but the color still there.

Let me show you a more closed up photo on the lipstick's application.
I tried to dab the lipstick on my lip to create a gradient color on my lip. It actually lightened the red color and became a coral pink color which is really suitable for daily look. If bold red lip is too much for you, then try to dab it lightly on your lip, you will have this nice coral pink shade instantly. I highly recommend this for daily lip color.

Then I tried to apply it fully to my lip. The red color became even more strong and vivid. You can still see a little bit of orange in it but it looks red in majority. I actually felt that my skin tone looks brighter with this bold red lip. This bold red lip will be more suitable for events and party because it looks good in photo.

My Opinion:
The color is nice, it's good to have a red lipstick added into my lipstick collection. I really love how pigmented it is with just one glide. To be honest, I prefer to dab it on my lip for the gradient shade. I wore it to work some days and the color really stayed on my lip longer than my expectation. Even after I ate something, the color still visible (although already faded). Is it because of the natural ingredients? The lipstick did not dried up my lip. Some other matte/velvet finish lipstick mostly made my lip dried but Swanicoco Show The Velvet Lipstick really did a great job it maintaining the moist level of my lip. I really recommend this to girls (or guys) out there who really prefer a pigmented matte-finished red lip color.

Hello pretties~
Welcome back to my blog!
For today's post I'll be sharing about the LipAddict Tea Party that I've attended during the end of last month!

Photo Credit: Eros
It's actually a very SWEET tea party organised by SoAddicted team and The Butterfly Project. The tea party took place on 25th August 2018 at Happ Cafe, a very beautiful Instagram-able flower cafe.

To be honest, I was WOW-ed by all the decoration on that day. Everything was so pastel and pink. Every corner of the cafe including the food and desserts were so photogenic. It's like attracting you to hold up your camera and capture everything there. Just look at the dessert table! So PRETTY!

Photo Credit: Eros
A very warm welcome photo session at the dessert table. Thanks to Eros for capturing such a nice photo of everyone. Actually at that moment, it was very awkward because I was the first person to get a photo during the welcome session. I was a bit confused and that was why I personally thought that my pose for this photo was a bit awkward. Luckily the photo turned out to be good, thanks to the photographer of the day, Eros.

The very nice product's shot by Eros again! 
Ya, I know most of the photos up till now were from Eros because I literally think that his photos were hundred times better than mine, lol. 

Back to the main story...
So these were all the lip products featuring at the tea party. I really love the product's setup because the light made the products looked even more elegant. There were 12 colors in total for their LipAddicted series and all of us had the chance to actually try out all the colors.

We were greeted by LipAddict products on the table, all 12 colors were available for us to try out at a later session. As you can see from the mirror, I was so excited for the upcoming session and the best thing was, all of us actually got a gift from SoAddicted team~ (Thank you) 

Photo Credit: Eros
The event started with a warm welcome opening speech by Leonard and Sydney.

Brand introduction was presented by the brand representative from SoAddicted. She also introduced more about LipAddict products in details.

 Photo Credit: Eros
There was also a Demo Session by the Makeup Artist, Fibiee to show us on how to create a Daytime and Night Time look by using products from SoAddicted.

She also shared that by using LipAddict lip products, we can mix and play with the lip colors to create our very own lip colors. And yes, everyone got the chance to play with the lip colors!

There was a reason why all these pretty colors were on our table! It was for us to play around with the colors by mixing it! Of course we also swatched all the 12 colors on our hand!

Thank you Zoelie for "sacrificing" her hand as a model to showcased all the lip colors! It took some time to setup this by her and it was so pretty!

I chose 3 colors for the mix and sadly I forgot to note down the colors I chose. The colors I chose were more towards a warm tones. I personally prefer the colors on the left as it's more beige and suitable for daily application. 

SO, LET's MIX IT UP!
...
..
.

It became this color after the mixed. It was a bit "orange-beige" for  me. I personally thought that the color was nice because it was neither too bright nor dull. It was very average and suitable for daily application. It was a very girlish color and at the same time it was not that stand out.

After I applied it on my lip, it appeared to be a little bit brownish compared to the swatch on my hand. But the colour was still pretty and... YES! I will used it for my daily makeup.

Also not to forget the "makan-makan" session during the tea party!

Still remember this dessert table?
All these pretty desserts were edible ya! Although all of it looked like a deco item, it was edible! And the dessert table was almost emptied out by all of us during the makan session because I only got to eat few macaroons and also some cakes.

Other than desserts, they also prepared some light food for us to fill our stomach!
They prepared some salads, fried wonton, cakes, macaroons and etc..
...
..
.

Other than getting to know the brand and having the "makan-makan" session, we also got the chance to mingle around with the other butterflies. It was a good chit-chat session with all of them because I only able to meet them during events (mostly...). Used up all the free time to catch up with them.
Able to captured some photos with few of them

I really like the tea party because the party concept was so pretty and the cafe was so cozy and comfy.
The party session was not too packed and food was provided as well as the dessert.
Thank you for the adorable tea party and the gift~
Last but not least, a big group photo to conclude my tea party post section!
...
..
.
Ehhh, I'm not yet done with my post!

NOW, let's talk about the LipAddict Products that I received at the Tea Party!
I've received 3 lip products from SoAddicted during the tea party and I was so excited to try it out especially the transparent one! (You will know soon~)

Before I begin to review all the 3 lip colors, I would like to introduce more on the brand. 

I believe that most of you never heard of SoAddicted, well at least I never heard of this brand. This was actually my first time to get to know about this brand. The brand was established in year 1999. Their headquarter is located at Canada but their products are formulated at their lab in United States, so I can say that their product is made in USA.

Their products are designed with a simple objective, which is:
"A better, more natural you!"

So, if you are looking for a natural, cruelty-free anti-aging products, this is the right brand for you!


The main focus for this post will be their Lip Addict series. It is a multi-purpose lip treatment that give you a more healthy, hydrated, and fuller lip. It also reduces the appearance of lip vertical line and make your lip appears smoother. To put it in a simpler term, it's a "Lip Savior"!



Not only it's a Lip Savior, it's also a Lip Plumper. It contains ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, marine collagen and peptides that help to plump the lip by increasing the hydration and erasing the lip line by stimulating the collagen synthesis. It's also free from Parabens, Sulphates, Hormones, Artificial Fragrances, Gluten Free, Toxic Ingredients. Since it is comprised of only natural ingredients, it is safe to be ingested and if you are pregnant, you can still use it!

The colors that I've got were:
  • #206 Pink Princess: A pink with a little bit of red color
  • #211 Air Kiss: A pink with gold shimmer color
  • #213 Jewel: Transparent color
Without further ado, let's try it out!

#206 Pink Princess
Although the color looks more red in the container but after applied it on my lip, the color looked like a light natural pink. It gave a natural pink color add on to my lip so my lip color won't be too dull. After I applied it, I can see that my lip became plumper. I used it almost everyday in my daily makeup to work. 

Link: https://www.soaddicted.com/shop-lipaddict/206-pink-princess

#211 Air Kiss
This color, it has a gold shimmer in the pink color. The pink was not that obvious compared to the #206 Pink Princess. Maybe it was not that visible in photo, but the gold shimmer was very obvious in real life. But as the time goes by, the gold shimmer will disappeared, left only the light pink tone on my lip.

Link: https://www.soaddicted.com/shop-lipaddict/211-air-kiss

#213 Jewel
This is the color that I want to try the most although it's transparent. I was very attracted to the point that it can be used as a night lip treatment during the night time before sleep. I used it almost every night after I got it and my lip does look a bit healthier and pinkish. It also hydrates my lip during the night time because the air-conditioned room really dries up my lip. As you can see in the photo, it just add on the shiny effect without any color. So I can actually put it on top of any lip color as a lip gloss too.

Link: https://www.soaddicted.com/shop-lipaddict/213-jewel

Overall Thoughts:
For daytime makeup, I personally prefer #206 Pink Princess. The application is quick and easy, with just a glide, my lip looks fuller and hydrated. It looks good with my daily makeup.
As for night time, #213 Jewel is my choice. I really like to use it as night lip treatment. My lip feels hydrated and of course it did reduce some of my my lip vertical lines. 

Everything was good but just one concern I have...
My hair always stick on my lip after I apply the lip tinr. 

The product was priced at around RM165 per unit. It was a bit expensive for an average buyer like me. Although it's a lip savior, I still need to think twice before I buy it. The price tag is a bit too high for me, but if I have the extra money, maybe I will consider it.

Where you can get it?
You can either get it online or at the below listed locations.

THE BEST PARTY EVER!

On the April Fool Day, The Butterfly Project decided to throw a birthday party for their 5th birthday! It's not an April Fool, the party is REAL!

The theme of the party was the best theme ever! It's the dream of all girls, it's pastel, it's purple, it's dreamy...

Yes, it's a Unicorn Party!



I created a Vlog for that day just to remember this memorable day. It's been 5 years together with The Butterfly Project. So much memories, so much to say, all the people that I've met and became friends, all the events that I've attended and learned a lot... It's always great to be with this big family.

Back to the Birthday Party~

Unicorn Cake is the most pretty cake ever! Not sure about the taste, but it's definitely insta-worthy. And the Unicorn Lights behind, so pretty!

The Butterfly Project Birthday was like a huge gathering actually because everyone actually reserved the date to attend. It was good to spend the day with all of the butterflies there. Somemore everyone dress up nicely because we knew that definitely we will take a lot of photos.

My OOTD of the day. Tried to put on all the purple, pastel color and lace just to match the theme of the day. But I noticed that my heels color was a bit dark in color, should wear another pair of heels.

I invested a lot of time into this makeup look. Since I'm not really into this kinda special makeup, I took quite some time to try on different colors (especially the eyes makeup). It was not easy and the makeup have to be very heavy and pigmented so it can be seen in photos clearly. Therefore, it's not easy to prepare for a themed party, it requires effort and time to achieve the party look.

Here's is the overall party venue view on that day. The space was not that spacious but the decoration was so on point! Everything  matched the theme so well. I really love the balloons, the colors were just so pastel. 

The event was mostly free and easy. We registered at the registration booth, got out activity card and that was it, we got to enjoy the party to the fullest. There was an opening speech to celebrate the party and also to provide a simple guide on the activities. Most of the time, I just walk around, took video, eat and chit chat with friends. 

What's the activities for the day?

1. Boomerang PhotoBox by GNG Studiobooth
Photobooth is a MUST for a party! I was glad that GNG Studiobooth can actually sent the photo directly to our email. Photo turned out nice and the printout quality was waterprrof and anti-fingerprint.

Yes, we can take Boomerang with this photobox! For me, it was a new cool features. After the recording, we can send the boomerang to our email together with the photo taken. How cool is that?!

2. Flowers Bar by Everyday Flowers
Yes, they brought in a flower bar for all the butterflies. At the flower bar, we got to customize our bouquet by choosing the flower we want and Everyday Flowers will decorate it nicely for us to bring home!

My choices of flowers.

The flower bar just brightened up the event area, made the event even more dreamy. We can also brought the flower home and made it into our home decors, how nice!

3. Balloon Activity & Decorations by Brrrloon

It was actually an auto-inflate balloon. Only 4 steps to DIY my very own balloon!
Step 1: Color the balloon
Step 2: Hit the center of the balloon repeatly
Step 3: Shake the balloon 
Step 4: Watch it inflate by it's own

I personally think that this is a very fun activity. It was my first time seeing an auto-inflate balloon. A big thanks to Brrrloon for introducing it to all of us.

4. Adopt The Unicorn by 50GRAM
I tell you, this was the best thing ever!
It was actually a surprise gift for us to bring home. We have to named it and signed on an adoption certificate! I named my unicorn as Blinky!


Here's my Blinky. It's a Uniorn Mug. Haven't use it actually, I just keep it safe because it's just too adorable! Maybe I will use it to drink coffee, will it stains my Blinky?
