Review : Discover Stem Cells with CellSafe & Amber Chia Press Workshop

Ever heard of what are Cord Blood stem cells all about ?

Stem cells are the “magical” young, generic cells in the human body that can be grown into other specific cells. Stem cells can be used for treatment of some blood disorders and cancers.

Stem cells unfortunately are rare and difficult to harvest from the adult body, but they are found abundantly in the baby's umbilical cord and placenta.

CellSafe International Group (‘CellSafe’) is a regional high-tech biotech venture which provides non-controversial cord blood stem cell cryogenic preservation. In Malaysia, CellSafe provides harvesting and preservation services of stem cells from cord blood.

Last week I was invited to "Discover Stem Cells with CellSafe & Amber Chia Press Workshop. I went with a curious heart as I did not have much knowledge what cord blood stem cell all about.

The marketing manager Mr. Lau Kin Wai shared that Stem Cell research opens up a new front in medical treatment which has great potential. Millions of people around the world suffer from incurable diseases. Stem cell research by the global medico-scientific community is finding some breakthroughs in stem cell therapies to treat illnesses which were not possible by conventional surgical cum drug methods.
.
Adult stem cell treatments have been successfully used for many years to treat leukemia and related bone/blood cancers through bone marrow transplants.

Therefore by storing our new born baby umbilical cord blood could save the baby or family member life.

Amber Chia the International Supermodel and celebrity who is now 9 months pregnant thinks that this is an important gift for her first baby as she cares about the future well being of her child. She see this as a bio-insurance for her entire family.

At the event, Amber was officially appointed as the spokesperson of Cellsafe. She will busy promoting the awareness of cord blood stem cell preservation nationwide.

The event also announced information about CellSafe-organize Moms and Kids Expo at Danga Cirt Mall, Johor Bahru from 17-19 September 2010. Amber Chia will be guest of honour of the official launch of the expo on 18th September 2010 at 2pm.

Although Amber was 9 months pregnant, she was hyperactive,sporting and professional. She was ready to pose for the cameras all the time! She was moving from one place to move place, and walking in her probably 4 inch high heels ? Salute her!

Since this is a media event, we got some private time with Amber. And of course I took up the opportunity to snap a picture with her and her baby (in tummy).

We all are then serve delicious food... yum!

Then while I was chatting with media friends, Amber came and sat down. She started chatting and joking with us. We are caught in surprise that she is so friendly. She happily shared that she cant wait to expect her 1st new born in early October. Congratulation Amber!

Honestly after the press workshop, I think that by storing cord blood stem cell of our new born is very very ver important. I guess everyone know by now that cancer is life threatening illness and illness like Leukemia is only curable if the patient is lucky enough to get the suitable bone marrow for transplant. And if today the patient has stored their cord blood in the stem cell bank, then the chances of recovery is high! So why not give ourselves or our baby a chance ?

I do know that the fee of storing such cord blood in the stem cell bank is expensive but I think one's life is priceless!

p/s: I sedang sibuk berehat dan charge energy pulak ~ syok syok syok!

FOTD: My first try to create natural look !

Often when I go to workshop, the makeup artist would tell us that natural is the best look . And brown would be their favorite color. For some reason, I do not know how to work with brown. Well maybe it is just me, am not the natural type person.. kekeke !I am not saying my feature or body is not natural...I'm 100% that naturally born like this. What I mean is I prefer to have colorful eyeshadow instead of the natural makeup. Okay , enough of explanation .. hahaha.. too complicated!

Pictures time!

My full look !

(suddenly i discover the eye makeup like a bit not even!!)

Oh did I mentioned, this is my favorite blouse !!

Should have take the full length picture to show!

The close up picture .

This is my 1st time creating natural look. Hope this look like one!

(Alamak pic a bit blurrrrr.. I deleted all others photos..)

My ingredients

So what you think ?

Natural makeup look nice on me?

So what do you prefer, natural or unnatural (I mean colorful, intense) look ??

Selamat Hari Raya ~ and ~ Happy Holiday !

Swatch : Laneige Mystic Veil Collection for Fall 2010

Wow its now September and yes Laneige finally brought in their new makeup collection!!!

This is the Laneige Mystic Veil Collection for Fall 2010!

First look. I like the packaging.. very mysterious..so hopefully the color paid off well!

Well let's see!

From Laneige's pamphlet & website

For Mysterious-looking Eyes

Mystic Veil Eye Palette
Powder Shimmer Eye Palette for monotonous touches or gradations. East to apply ti create smooth-looking eyes.

Product Benefits

4-color eye palette that can be mixed together to create powdery and soft delicate look.

From left to right : Mystic White, Mystic Pink, Mystic Violet and Mystic Black

The eyeshadow all are in pressed powder form and it's smooth. I would not said it's not very pigmented but its an improvement I see from Laneige. I would personally for violet and greyish black, the color paid off is quite alright. But for lighter color like white and pink, its a bit too light for my liking.

In my opinion,first time looking at the colors in this palette is a bit too common.. or I would says too safe kinda of combination. Colors like white, pink and violet would be too common but the greyish black is kinda pretty as its not totally black but comes with a touch of grey.

However the color combination provided here does match with their description, that's to create powdery and soft delicate look.

Selling Price : RM115/each

Next their lipsticks in Mystic Veil Collection

Description from pamphlet & website

For Romantic Lips

Snow Crystal Intense Lipstick
Silky smooth lipstick showing vivid colors even with a single layer of application.

Product Benefits
High resolution lipstick with vivid color and silky velvet touch.

Containing friendly amino acids, it is light-weight and fitting with skin.

Left to right : SYR32 Mystic Beige and RP49 Mystic Flower

(with indoor yellow lighting)

As stated in the description, the color is quite intense with the 1st application. I would not say its moisturizing like their Snow Crystal Melting Lipstick range but definitely better than their limited Snow Crystal Intense Lipstick in Ornament Red.

The left is clearly beige color and one the right is a very fuchsia color. But I don't think I could carry this color without looking like a clown .. :P

Selling price: RM65 each

From website

Product Benefits
Soft cream-type blusher that lightens up your face with a blooming pink color.

How to use

• Apply blush centering on the apple of cheek, which is most noticeable when smiling.
• To create a natural blush, use the shading colors below the forehead, sidelines of the nose, exposed jaw line and cheek outlines.
• To create a bright look, apply the highlight colors on the T-zone, the eye, below the eyes, and tips of the chin areas.

Mystic Pink Veil Blusher

(Sorry for the pic, taken inside the mall with yellow lighting)

( Pic taken with muted flash)

This color is light and natural , and must be noted that its not pigmented. And once you apply the cream blusher on the cheek, it turned into powder set properly on the skin.

Selling price : RM70/each


(I accidentally deleted my pic on this.. ish )

From the website

Product Benefits
With SPF 33PA++, this whipped-cream-textured foundation gives skin an even and clean look, like a soft veil.

How to use

• Use after makeup base.
• Apply a suitable amount onto your finger to spread evenly over entire face.
• Reapply thinly over areas requiring more coverage by patting with your fingertips.

My say : This is the first cream foundation from Laneige. There is only 2 color available for this foundation in Malaysia , No 21 Natural Beige and No 23 Sand Beige. I tried the texture on my hand and as it is suggested its in cream foundation, the texture is pretty smooth and coverage is pretty good. Will take pics again on this to show the texture .

Selling price : RM110/ each

Which I like among this collection ?

I would say I am interested to try the Mystic Veil Foundation and Mystic Veil Blusher (such a pretty natural pink I got when I swatch it on my palm)


So have you guys got your hands on this yet ?

Time to check this out !
