[Sponsored] Sample Store's Bloggers' Party with BeautyKeeper

Last Saturday, I had the privilege of attending Sample Store's Bloggers' Party, held in conjunction with BeautyKeeper, an online Taiwanese beauty store. I've previously blogged about some products from BeautyKeeper - you can read my past entry here.

~ The place ~ 

 

The event was held at Punggol Waterway Point's newly-launched Party Room - a cosy little air-conditioned space on the second floor of the mall. Decorated with vibrant decor of hot air balloons and trees, it's got a merry vibe that makes it especially suitable for children's birthday parties!

Yup, the room even has a TV for your to screen some entertainment or play a photo slideshow.

Plus, it's strategically situated right beside Waterway Point's Happy Park (wet and dry playground on the rooftop, so the little ones can go out and play while the adults mingle (in the comfort of air-con, thank goodness LOL). Don't worry, the wall of the Party Room facing the playground is made of clear glass, so you can keep an eye on your kids while they're wreaking havoc having fun out there.

Even the design of the ceiling had thought put into it!

Pssst...if these pictures excite you, you'll be glad to know that The Party Room at Waterway Point is now open for booking from just $150 for 4 hours - that's a super affordable deal for such a long duration!

The booking fee also includes:

• Pantry area with a refrigerator, hot water dispenser, and sink
• 2 tables, 8 chairs, and 8 kiddy stools
• TV (HDMI/USB)

Pretty awesome yeah? More deets below (click to enlarge):

Kicking off the Bloggers' Party was food, glorious food, specially catered from Brunches Cafe. One look at the spread and I knew it wasn't the typical run-off-the-mill catered fare - for one, there were RAINBOW SLIDERS!

This picture makes me happy :)

Other dishes included salad, fried rice with prawns, fish in some cream sauce, and meatballs with CHEESE!

At first I thought the meatballs were merely topped with cheese, but as I bit into them, EVEN MORE CHEESE oozed out into my mouth! GLORIOUS. Some of the best meatballs I've ever had omg.

Each attendee was also given a bottle of Juscool Sparkling Juice in assorted flavours. I chose Peach. And it was pink! :D Other flavours were Apple, Grape, Passionfruit, Yuzu and Orange.

Great for those who wish to enjoy carbonated drinks without feeling the guilt, Juscool is a Healthier Choice Symbol product - made with real fruit juice instead of saccharine artificially-flavoured syrups!

After settling down with our food, we had a little talk by a spokesperson from BeautyKeeper. Basically, she explained to us what BeautyKeeper is all about and how the BeautyKeeper Ambassadorship Programme will be rolled out in the months to come. Hoping to be on board this Ambassadorship Programme as I've already tried some of their products prior to the event, and am liking them well so far!

Just to reiterate things in case you missed my previous post on BeautyKeeper - they're a Taiwanese online store that curates popular Taiwanese beauty products (most/all of which are currently not available here) and makes them accessible to us here in Singapore. Shipping fees are SGD$20 for purchases below SGD$200, and free for purchases above SGD$200.

That's not all. Another great thing about BeautyKeeper is that they have a special Taiwan Tourist Service, which allows tourists to enjoy free shipping of products to their hotels - so you can just collect your beauty goodies from the concerige and pop 'em into your luggage to bring home! How convenient is that??

Later on we headed down to Sample Store's Shopping Paradise event at the atrium to collect our goody bags at their BeautyKeeper booth! Here's a peek of some of their products that were up for purchase:

Facial masks from Taiwanese Aboriginal

Sports bras and shapewear from Mollifix

More masks in beautiful packaging

Read on to the next section to see what other products BeautyKeeper has to offer!

~ The presents ~

 

BeautyKeeper gave us all a huge $200 hamper full of some of the products they carry!

Back row:
Phytopia Slimway Synergy - 2-in-1 body shaper and topical appetite suppressant
Phytopia Stretch Marks Remover Synergy
All-Belle fake eyelashes in Yellow Flaunt
MD/AA Jiao Pulsed Mask Foaming Face Cleanser
MD/AA Jiao Oil and Water Dual Balancing Gel - a sebum regulator, oil remover, and pore tightener

Left section (white items, from top to bottom):
Userism DD Cream SPF50 Dynamic All-Daily Defence - liquid foundation with oil control, moisturising, and sun protection properties
Userism Bright Whitening Ultra-Water Facial Mask
Destino Advanced Repairing Face Soap

Right section (black items, clockwise from Rosy Pink Moisture Dew):
Serlando Rosy Pink Moisture Dew - a moisturising stain
Starsuki lipstick
Starsuki concealer palette
Starsuki Total Cleansing Eye and Lip Makeup Remover
Starsuki Super Perfect Remover Pen 2.0 - makeup remover in a pen

Because there are so many products here, I'm going to pick out 3 of the most novel products to talk about in detail!

Serlando Rosy Pink Moisture Dew

 

Stains are typically used for the lips, but apparently this moisturising tint can also be used on your AREOLA and BIKINI LINE too! I'm not kidding LOL it says so in the instructions! It's supposed to help brighten dull skin and reduce melanin as well.

I swatched this on my hand and it produced a very faint, pink sheen - which I think is great for a cheek tint on those days when you don't want to put on makeup but don't wanna look dead either. When I swatched this on my lips the colour was rosier and more noticeable :)

Userism Bright Whitening Ultra-Water Facial Mask

 

This sheet mask is a little different from others. Encased in a magical-looking vial, it comes with additional serum for you to drown it in - so that you can get ultimate hydration! It even comes with a pair of tweezers to aid you in putting it on your face.

After I used the mask, there was quite a good amount of serum left in the tube. I like that the tube came with a screw cap so that all the extra serum wasn't wasted. In fact, this was designed to leave you with 7-10 days' worth of leftover serum! 

Starsuki Super Perfect Remover Pen 2.0

 

We all have those days where we screw up our eyeliner, but 1) don't have any makeup remover on us because we're not at home 2) can't wipe it off because doing so would mean wiping ALL the makeup off your eyelids. But with this makeup remover pen, you can get rid of eyeliner smudges in the most precise way possible!

I tested it myself and it works pretty well! The 2nd picture shows the result after one round of colouring over my liner, and the 3rd picture shows the result after a second round of colouring over and finally rubbing the residue away with my thumb in a single sweep. Not bad, not bad at all!

Oh, there were also goodies from Otterbox - a pretty mint and coral phone case, together with a screen cleaner and a CUTE OTTER SOFT TOY!

Most of us already know of Otterbox as a brand for drop-proof smartphone cases that'll save your phone screens from smattering into a million pieces. It's no wonder that they're the #1 selling phone case brand in the U.S.!

Yay so happy with all my presents! Thanks all! :D
