Have been wanting to blog about the Maybelline Lasionista event at Zouk which happened last month! Yikes!
These photos are long overdue!
Maybelline invited 5 blogshops for a fashion show cum bazaar night and VGY was one of them.
My trusty angel I call Eve ;)
The little angel with a pretty name, Britney, whom many of you have meet when she passed you the invite at the door!
With the 2 pretty models of the event – Constance and Sabrina.
With the good people from Tinsel Rack
Just before the doors were due to open to the roaring queue outside, I persuaded Eve to visit one of the express makeup counters and get her makeup done by the Maybelline makeup artists haha. God! She was so reluctant!
Until she found someone to go along with her!
Girls…….
We go toilets in groups of ten, no?
So lucky to have found such a reliable and lovely girl to handle my emails.
Sad to say, I have trust issues with people, especially girls, so Eve is truly a godsend :*)
I was kept really busy at the backstage ensuring the models are wearing the right accessories etc.
I insisted on the model on the left to wear the blazer without a bra. And she gamely agreed! You go girl!
Larry Yeo was the makeup artist of the night. He drew out 5 looks for 5 different blogshops and this is what was allocated to VGY models ;)
It brings attention immediately to the centre of each eye making their look doubly intense. Just what I need for them to pierce through the glances in the crowd!
I do not really fancy the choreographer’s planning for my models to carry a gun but anyway, it was a done deed when I got to know of it haha.
I was eyeing this model from the start but it was really too bad she wasn’t allocated to VGY during the choreography :(
My prettiest twin sister. It runs in the Ong family ;)
Thank you for always being there at every single one of my events! :*)
My dearest John who rushed down after work to help out and just..being there for me :*)
And the models started strutting their stuff.
On a side note, I am selling away this feathery purple necklace. Email me if you are interested! :)
The studded blazer which was only available for sale during this event. Fel kept a piece for herself as well!
I still have last few pieces for this lovely blazer.
Email me at tricia@vgystore.com if you are interested to purchase! ;)
The Camy Playsuit which sold like mad both online and at the event.
This item is now out of stock! Please do not email me for it! :(
The Amelia laser cut peplum skirt which I wore on the night was our best-selling item! Well of course, I shortened my own piece by 3 inches to elongate my legs :/
The 2 of them…forever scandalous –.-
Gave my loveliest Serene and Matt tickets for the event and Serene came down after work! Felt so bad I didn’t have time to snap photos with her :( Thank you for coming down anyway! Love you, Serene!
Ling from Evonnz.com who was invited as a beauty blogger :)
As I am penning this entry down, it’s yet another weekend!
I am rushing for a launch by this coming Monday (hopefully)! There are too many items to launch in the upcoming Collection 102! Also stay tuned for the upcoming sales post which I will be putting up after C102 is over!
Was telling Eve I will do a sales and what is available post to commemorate my 2nd anniversary with John this 10 Oct :*)
I am also planning to donate alot of clothes for the unfortunate so they can celebrate year end and Christmas with new clothes. Was pretty touched when a customer, Edna, came my shop one day and tell me how kids from the poor countries actually hug the shoes that they received (as donation) instead of wearing it. They’d rather walk bare footed to and fro from school than wear the “new” shoes. Edna even said “when you receive them from the entrance, you see them walking back from school bare footed and hugging the shoes you gave”.
This, I would never forget.
So, be kind to one another, donate and help as many as you can.
Lastly, this year see me through many milestones and I will pen it down as a closure for year 2012. It will be a heartfelt and honest to the bone post.
But for now, some things are better left unsaid, till the time is right :)
Have a kickass weekend! <3
Congratulations for being invited to this kind of event! It must have been a great opportunity for you! I like the eye make-ups of the models who were using gun during the run. It's a cool idea. :)

ReplyDeleteHi Leighlie! U think so? I love the eye makeup on my models too! And yes, undeniably, it was indeed a great opportunity! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Y! Congratulations on your 4th anniversary in a few days time! ;)
ReplyDeleteHello kind soul! Thank you so much so much for showing your support for VGY! If you love us, please spread the love! :*)
ReplyDeleteHello there! I have sent you an email but just in case you did not receive, here it is:
ReplyDelete"Hello there kind soul!
There are many ways in taking part in donations! You can start small like making it a point to purchase tissues from the elderly, donating your clothes to Salvation Army or even taking note of whoever is making a mission trip to overseas, then pass your old clothes/toys to them so they can bring it over for the little ones :)
For making monetary donations in Singapore, I suggest making donations to "MAKE A WISH" foundation. It is a foundation where it fulfills the wish of children who are very ill (and kids who may not live to see the future), poor etc. Alternatively, you can make a donation to "Red Cross Foundation" where they have relief work/services in the poorer countries. Lastly, you can also choose to sponsor a child from the poorer countries. You will need to make a monthly contribution of $100 up or it can be lesser (depending on what is offered) to the child to pay for his education, food and allowance.
Lastly, thank you so much for approaching me to ask on donation matters! It makes me feel touched to know someone actually read what I write here with an intention of helping others as well, even though the amount of words may bore many others. It just goes to show there is love all around! :*) THANK YOU!
Love,
Tricia"
