My whole experience with this workshop was like taking a roller coaster ride. Remember when I saw the workshop participation form in the magazine I was thinking "Should I or should I not?" Then when I finally submit my participation at their uptown office, the money order went MIA... lucky that I called to inform, otherwise I'll be so blur and not knowing about it...

So finally manage to attend - Nikko Hotel 9.30am

First met with Jess then introduce me to Nicole & Adriene, met some new friends Farah, Aimi and Ila.. then saw the chocolate cat - Fatin.. hehe

Ila, Farah & Aimi

Fatin

The workshop started off with talk given by the well known tv host - Pn Nurfarahin Jamsari.

She talks about what is communication, how to communicate effectively and how to make oneself look confident and presentable.

Don't talk to duck in French, German nor English.. Just Quack!!

Is Shu time....

Shu Uemura Black Book artist demonstrated 15 mins rush to work makeup.. XD and transformation from day to night Vogue look style..

Black Book Artist - Najeeb

We got a 15 mins special by Hunny Madu - "What's your pick me up?" Is about how to make yourself feel better during a bad day, or when things just go wrong.. Hunny one was a hug from a friend or a silly call to mum saying 'sayang, is ok you can do it". Me? sales and discounts perhaps ^_^ Freebies is the Best !!!

Hunny Madu - fellow butterflies.. ^_^

And finally we get a lunch break.. prepared by wonderful chefs of Nikko Hotel

After lunch break was a "how to dress" session by T-Joue followed by lucky draw and winners walked away with Shu Uemura goodies worth Rm 300 .. uhuhu envy max.

The workshop was from 9.30am to 2.30pm.. the longest that I have ever been + an overrun of 30mins. Shu Uemura session was so far apart from everyone's expectation. We thought there will be some hands on and makeover thing, there wasn't even enough artist allocate to each table. Not to mention missing item from the goodies bag that left all participants eyes wide open.. it was later given to us when we left.

Perhaps, it was their first and totally forgiveable on that. Well really need to work extra hard next time !

After so many good words and reviews from Connie @ Skindeco, I finally get a chance to get to know RMK myself..

Got myself a free makeover session through Maxis One Club voucher with Isetan Garden's counter SA - Bonnie Lim.

I went there after work last week, hence looking much like a walking zombie with deadly complexion.

Bonnie was very very patience (interrupted by many phone calls), she started off telling me about the brand RMK = Rumiko their founder and the core of their product which was yeast and apricot seed.

A brand based on nothing but purely natural ingredient + wonderful packaging.

We started of with cleansing my face with its star product - RMK Cleansing Oil.
Very similar to the other brand according to Bonnie to be apply with dry dry hands and face.

I was advised to do a double cleanse using their Creamy Soap N as the first one act as a remover to wash off makeup and sunscreen.

Their second star product is called Skintuner - japanese has a different impression between lotion vs toner. They perceive that toner often contains alcohol and mainly to tighten up open pores. RMK Skintuner on the other hand contains no alcohol and act as a skin prep to give moisture to the skin before the actual moisturizer that will enhance the effect to its max.

As for my skin, Bonnie advise me to use 2 different types of toner to target on my combination + dehydrated skin.

Skintuner Smoother- treats pores and roughness and also

Skintuner Moist - that gives you soft and supple skin

Lastly Bonnie applied Face Protector N to protect my skin from harmful UV comes with spf31 and water-based, so your skin will not feel oily after application.

She did also introduced to me RMK makeup range - knowing that I'm a minimal makeup person, she advise that I can apply a little foundation to even up my complexion making my skin more radiance.

It was really enjoyable knowing Bonnie , she has so much passion in her job and such a detail explanation of each and every product.

Off all the items I mentioned above, she gave me samples of each to try out myself. ^_^ So kind of her.
