I was honored to be invited by Faiz Shah; Senior Marketing Manager of Watsons Malaysia to attend the official launch event of Elite Models Cosmetics Range at Rootz, Lot 10 on Thursday 24th November 2011. After asking for a friend to go with me, I emailed in my RSVP for 2 person and off we go.

My pretty friend; Liza 🙂 |
After registering and collecting the door gift, we were ushered inside and there I met my old contact; Francis who’s now CRM Manager at Watsons Malaysia. We chatted a bit, gotten our drinks and said hello to Faiz who’s busy running here and there.
Francis insisted that we try out the cosmetic and we were lead to the makeover section where Liza and I had a quick touch up as we both had our makeup on. All this is kinda new to Liza so she was a bit shy and hesitated a bit but it’s all good.

This is single eyeshadow pan (I think?). Oppss |
|
Lipglosses. I had this on my lips and it’s not sticky and uncomfortable at all. |
|
This is 2-way foundation which I heard is really good matte coverage. I was amazed with how smooth my face is after applying this at the makeover. |

A few invitees at the other makeover table 🙂 |
