The most exciting news just got delivered to me when I was just casually browsing through BeautyBoundAsia's website two weeks ago -
I GOT INTO THE NATIONAL FINALS!
I wrote about it not too long ago and by now I have attended the final workshop in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia! I'm really impressed that some of the contestants came all the way from different states, to continue their journey in being the Next Top Beauty Creator.
Here's some pics from the event, a short video will be up next week because I was so busy shooting and editing TWO CHALLENGE VIDEOS this week *phew*
Scroll down towards the end to catch a glimpse of my work!
I was keeping this under wraps and I JUST CANNOT CONTAIN THE NEWS ANYMORE!!!
I MADE IT!!!
I can now proudly say that I'm one of the 30 girls who is vying a spot in Beauty Bound Asia!
So what exactly is BBA?
It's actually an international competition among SEA countries (including Sydney), to search for the next Top Beauty Content Creator! Hosted by SK-II and YouTube, this is one of the region's BIGGEST BEAUTY YOUTUBE COMPETITION!!
I actually stepped out of my comfort zone because making videos is something very NEW to me. Honestly, I'm paranoid about how I sound and look in videos. I worry about the lighting, the editing, the whole outcome because well..... I'm a noob!
I actually was late to submit my #AboutMe introduction video (I had down-time after double eye lid surgery, will keep that story for another day) but Beauty Bound Asia team was kind enough to offer me a spot in the workshop, after submitting my details via random selection.
And there I was at the workshop, seeing a few familiar faces (TOO FEW IN FACT!) and saw more new faces! Deep inside I was ecstatic because I didn't know Malaysia had so many hidden bedroom talents!
So after that, we were given the task of completing TWO VIDEOS WITHIN ONE WEEK!!!!
(Yes, all that filming, scripting, editing, mumbo jumbo)
And I came out with these two videos:
UNBOXING CHALLENGE
SEASONAL BEAUTY TIPS CHALLENGE
Submitted them few days ago and I got the most exciting news TODAY!
So from now on, since this is getting pretty serious, I hope you guys can give your FULL SUPPORT to me by subscribing to my YouTube channel, give a thumbs up if you like it and don't forget to leave a comment to let me know you got my back!
The next workshop is happening next Saturday, so I hope to make you guys proud!
I'm just gonna make this announcement short and sweet :)
I have been nominated for ...
female/GUESS Blogger Awards 2014!
I'm so thankful for the team at female for selecting me! I just started blogging regularly this year and my, this is such AN HONOUR! Especially to be amongst established bloggers (some have been blogging longer than me, but I personally think the content quality is what makes it count!) :D
A little bit of background of the brand GUESS and myself...
...I have always liked the brand GUESS ever since I was in high school! My gymnastic coach is an avid fan of GUESS... everything! The handbag, accessories, clothes and shoes! So during my high school days, since I look up to my coach highly, I always aimed to be like her one day (including the dressing)!!! I even saved up so much (as a high school kid my allowance is only about RM200 one month) just to purchase my VERY FIRST GUESS HANDBAG & WALLET! Since then I have accumulated so many GUESS products over the years but the one staple product would be their ICONIC DENIM! I always, always remember GUESS campaigns featuring sexy bombshells, my favourite being Paris Hilton!
And of course when Amber Chia won the Guess Watches Timeless Beauty International Model Search 2004, that was then when I fell in love with Guess watches also!
So yes, I have a lot of good and beautiful memories with GUESS, so this award makes it even sweeter!
(Our theme is denim, the previous year theme was also the same)
After clicking on my picture, it will bring you to my details and a short description on "why denim completes my look" (errrr... I actually purposely went all out to dress up to take this photo okayyyy! :D)
