Shine Like Stars with Ellips

Hi, everyone! Last week I was invited to attend Ellips' Shine Like Stars Bloggers Gathering & Tea Party at Wyl's Kitchen at Veranda Hotel. The place was decorated with lots of pink and Ellips' products on the table. I was totally mesmerized as pink is my favorite color! Hahaha!

Anyway, Ellips is Indonesia's top leading brand for hair vitamins. I've known their products for years and there's no need to worry about the quality!

These pink capsules are Ellips' "Hair Repair" vitamin with pro-keratin complex. This was Ellips' product that I had tried back then. It remains to be my favorite variant as it helps me to nourish my damaged hair due lots of hair styling!

At the event, there were 10 bloggers who had  the chance to have their hair styled at the salon with Ellips' products, professional hairstylists, and Julie Estelle. We had a great talkshow session discussing about the damages of hairstyling and how to treat our hair. 

As girls who want to look pretty everyday, it's hard not to style our hair with hair dyes, curling, straightening, and other kinds of hair stylings! Those kind of treatments surely make our hair appear better, but sadly they damage our hair!! So, we need to use hair vitamins to nourish our hair after we wash our hair or before we style them.

Coming home after the event, I got a hugeee box of Ellips' products. Here's what I got from Ellips:

• A mini hair straightener that I can easily carry anywhere
• Cuticle Serum
• Silky Black & Shiny Black with Pro-keratin Complex Hair Vitamin
• Hair Treatment & Hair Repair with Pro-keratin Complex Hair Vitamin
• Smooth and Shiny & Smooth and Silky with Pro-keratin Complex Hair Vitamin
• Nutri Color Hair Vitamin
• Nourish & Protect Balinese Essential Oil Hair Vitamin

OMG! I got sooo many goodies! I think I got enough hair vitamin supplies for months! Keep reading thi post to know some quick infos about each product :)

The smell is nice and it doesn't weigh down my hair too ! This product is perfect for fine and delicate hair.

Marina Hydro Cool Gel Lotion Review

Last Monday, I attended the launching event of Marina Hydro Cool. The venue was dominated with tosca, turquoise, and mint colors and decorated with beautiful things!

Marina is a famous beauty & skincare brand in Indonesia, so I was so excited to come to the event and tried this new product. 

Marina Hydro Cool is a new variant from their MARINA UV WHITE line. They create this variant because they see that many young Indonesian women wants to have healthy and fresh skin by using a body lotion product that is also suitable for their busy daily activities in this tropical weather and lots of pollution going on.. It's SO TRUE because that's what I'm looking for too!

Their ambassadors are Shireen Sungkar ( a famous Indonesian actress that has won manyyy awards and she still has a bunch of other activities right now.. which is very inspiring to many Indonesian women) and Dellie Threesyadinda ( a beautiful international archery athlete). They also use Marina Hydro Cool everyday to protect their skin! They shared to us about how they use this product on daily basis and how their skin have improved ever since. We had a great Q&A session!

There was also a DIY contest . We were given scissors, a tee, shawl, and brooch. We're free to decorate this shirt according to our ideas and the ambassadors were the judges. Everyone customized the tees to be a dress, crop tee, doll, and many more. I didn't win but it was definitely a fun event! ;)

Fun time at the photobooth!

Marina Hydro Cool contains biowhitening complex from seaweed, lime,  Vitamin B3, and UV protection that can nourish, brighten, and protect our skin with cool hydration, fast-absorbing, and non sticky effect. Most importantly, Marina Hydro Cool has aquired the Halal Certificate from MUI.

At the event, I directly tried this product as I could no longer wait to try it !

My opinion about this product:
- It smells so fresh and good
- It gives a 'cooling' effect.. Feels so good when worn under the hot weather!!
- It dries quickly
- It doesn't give any sticky effect on my skin
- It has UV protection which is perfect to be worn before I go out, so that I will have a bright and healthy skin!!

So, these days I've been using Marina Hydro Cool as my body lotion. I am quite busy everyday with school activities and blogging events going on, so I need a perfect lotion to nourish my skin. This product is totally the one I've been looking for. I HATE sticky body lotion because it's totally unsuitable to be worn in Indonesia's humid weather. Other than giving a sticky feeling on my skin, dirts also attach quickly on the skin.

While Marina Hydro Cool gives awesome sensations like a cooling effect (feels like ice melts on my skin... ) and I don't feel like wearing any lotion at all after it dries! I hope after a while I will have brighter skin too!

The conclusion is I LOVE and RECOMMEND you to try this product. Thank you Marina Hydro Cool! :)

Smapite's Prom 2014 - Burlesque The Masquerade Party

Finally here's my blogpost about my school's prom. It's super late, I know. It was held in early May but I just got the chance to pick out some photos and edited it to be published here. Sorry! T.T.

I'm going to write how the prom was from my point of view as the event's coordinator. I'm so proud that this event was 1000% prepared by the student council. It's the biggest annual event at my school and is the most awaited party of the year! An anon once told me not to show off about my role in student council because I kept telling everyone on my blog/ig about my student council activities which is quite stupid since my intention is just to tell what actually happens in my life everyday including my school life, which also includes my activities as the member of the student council . Maybe it can be an inspiration/ fun story to be read by other students.. geez, people these days! -_-

This was how the stage looked like. It's held at our school's hall. It's so different than last year and so much more upgraded too. We used better lighting, decoration, and also used a video wall (that big screen in the middle). This event was attended by the school's headmaster, teachers, and all students from grade 10,11, and 12. It's held from 5pm- around 10pm! There were so many performances by the students. My music teacher asked every class to make a good performance at prom (whether it's singing/dancing/drama).

My outfit! It was a masquerade party but I chose to wear a headpiece with a mesh fabric (as a subtitute to the mask) which was especially made by my sister @petitebelle because it'd be easier for me to coordinate the event :p. (Dress: www.jusy.co / shoes : schutz / bag: celine)

Everyone wore masks! :p

Confettis at the red carpet from the crackers which were popped when grade 12 students entered the hall.

Prom King & Queen Election

They were asked with many questions about their knowledge of our school and other funny questions. ahahha! It was a fun election and voted by our teachers. There were also nominations for the most handsome senior, the most beautiful senior, and the funniest senior voted by grade 10 and 11!

Here are some snapshots from the performances at the prom

My class' dance performance. spot me? :p

My class performance was almost declined by our music teacher since it was a total mess at the audition time. Many of the boys couldn't remember their moves because they're not serious during our practice time. I got really mad at them because it's like they didn't appreciate the girls' hardwork who prepared everything from the concept, dance, moves, songs, etc. There were 29 of us and it's not easy to create a good formation. Thank God after that we could find a solution and the performance was done smoothly. It was a medley of a broken tango, gg's mr mr, i like to move it, and coca cola indonesia's dunia kita ;D.

The audience ft. my headmaster (Sister Filiphita) dancing along together~

A surprise to our student council's main coordinator, Mr. Ay by 12th graders. It was also his last prom here. He worked so hard with us to prepare this prom to be that 'special'. So, they invited his fiance to surprise him :'D. Good luck at your new work place, Mr. Ay! You're truly our best motivator and source of good spirit!

A pic of me when I was dancing ;P ;P

I performed twice and this time was OSIS (the student council)'s performance. We acted as TGL48's members which were invited by Mario Teguh. lol. It was messy and cheeeeesssyyyy. T_T. Maybe it's because we didn't practice the dialogues much and the audience had gotten tired after many performances. I can't even watch myself at the video. So I'm only gonna share a pic. T.T

Photobooth time with my fellow bff + student council members during dinner time. We changed our heels to flats too... It's too tiring to run from here to there with heels T.T #EO'sproblem

The 12th graders also got the chance to fly these sky lanterns during dinner time . It was a garden party dinner with some accoustic music as companion at our school's field :).

 ***

Overall, it was a great party. I and my fellow student council members were very happy when this event succeed after sooo many preparations. I hope it's a memorable prom and farewell party to our seniors. I even couldn't sleep and lost almost 2 kgs because of stress and nervous feeling :'>. It's something that I'll remember until I'm old and I'm very lucky to take part as the event's coordinator. For you, who'll be a senior high school student soon, I recommend you to join your school's OSIS (student council). Although it may take your time, but it's a really great place to create and get so many experiences that'll be useful in the future. You'll have more friends, and learn to work with many people too. 

Next year, I won't be a member of osis anymore, so I can relax and enjoy the party to the very best . lol . Any ideas what theme we should have next year? :D. Btw, you can read  my blogpost about last year's prom here. (it's more focused on my class' performance, though)
