This is a late report but a few weeks ago I was invited by Shu Uemura to come to their OB for Shu Uemura party:

So who is Ob?
Ob is a Japanese artist and the young creator of her generation. She created a unique design of 4 princesses to be applied on shu uemura products as a limited edition packaging.

If you don't know, shu uemura usually released a special or limited edition series every once in a while, and OB is their newest collection series. The design is super pretty and cute!

More explanation about Ob for Shu Uemura collection:

Discover this magical landscape and create a new you – someone you’ve never imagined yourself to be – with a line-up of gorgeous Shu Uemura products intricately wrapped in the beauty of spring and the sensitivity of a new generation.

"In-between reality and a dream beckons you into Ob’s creative universe, 

a world that appears normal at first sight but is filled with fantasy and delight; 

a world that showcases the emerging vision of a generation of creators who came of age in a radical new digital world."

So we all have to dress up like one of the four princesses characters from the Ob collection as above. Well, not really dressed up like the 4 princesses, but more like "inspired by" one of the princesses. The 4 princesses are: 

Cherry Blossom Princess

Forest Princess

Moon Princess

Ocean Princess

I got to dress up as "Forest Princess". My inspiration was the green color and the forest theme so I wore my green maxi dress with branches of trees print on it ;p I also dressed up my eyes in green colors.

The four princesses are really cute and very inspiring. Their characters decorate the bottles and packaging for this limited edition Ob collection, and I'd say it's a very collectible items. It would look absolutely pretty on the vanity ;)

Here's some photos of the ob collection products that I took from their Sogo Kelapa Gading counter. You can see how cute the theme is on the packaging:

There were also two of the four talented illustrators who collaborate with shu uemura Indonesia for this event. These young illustrators are amazingly talented, I wish I have that kind of talent ;p

Okay so basically there are four illustrators which are: Citra Kemala Putri, Lidia Puspita, Diela Maharanie, and Diani Apsari. But at the event in Sogo Kelapa Gading (which I attended) there were only 2 of them (Citra and Lidia) who did a live show, displaying their talent in making beautiful illustrations inspired by the ob collection. 

Can you believe it if I told you that they both drew the pictures above using makeup from the shu uemura collection?? Amazing, right? They used lipsticks, eyeshadows, blush on, etc.. to make the illustrations above. I think it is such a unique concept.

While the illustrators are doing a live show, there was also a live makeup demo by shu uemura make-up artist, Ms. Ella. The make up she did on the model was soo pretty with bright spring colors. Very inspiring indeed.

After the illustrators were finished with their works, we can also ask them to draw for us in a little bookmark provided. I chose Lidia Puspita because I love her characteristic sketch. She made me an illustration of myself and I was so happy because I think this is the first time anyone has ever made me a real artsy sketch ;p

This is how Lidia made me the illustration, she drew it with makeup from shu uemura. Just check out her other hand, she's holding makeup (i think it was an eyeshadow) and then applied it to the bookmark directly:

And this is the result:

She drew the outline using a brown eyebrow pencil if I'm not mistaken. The sketch is so pretty and very personal. I think it has similarities with me somehow. I'm gonna keep this bookmark close to my desk. Carnellin from While You On Earth said that it really represent the melancholic character of me. Actually, this is the second time I was being told that I have melancholic face. I always wonder what does melancholic really means? hehe.. But I guess that's how people see me, and I'll take it as a compliment ;p

I also get to see other's illustrations. Here's one from Hanna of the blog Hanna Anindita. She got sketched by Diana Apsari, if I'm not mistaken:

Oh one more thing, as I told you earlier above, each of us got to dress up as our favorite princesses and I got to dress up as Forest Princess. At the end of the event, I won the best dress for the Forest Princess category, yay! :D

Thank you shu uemura for inviting us to the party. I had fun at the event and I gained so much inspirations too. 

Here are some of the photos from the event:

And group photos with the Shu Uemura team:

PS: 

Did you remember my last project with Shu Uemura that I did a few months ago? It's called "Which Cleansing Oil Are You?"

Well, at the event they told me that they already featured my testimonials of the Whiteefficient Cleansing Oil on their counter! So if you're stopping by at Shu Uemura counter you can read about my testimonials (and other bloggers' testimonials) of their famous cleansing oils :)

They put the wrong url link of my blog, it was supposed to be (.com) instead of (.co.au), but that's no prob because it seems that you can always reach my blog through both of those links ;p

What I wore to the event (Forest princess inspired):

Thanks again for Shu Uemura for this lovely event.
