Event Report: Anna Sui Romantica

A couple days ago, Anna Sui has launched its next perfume, Romantica. Was name Romantica inspired for Anna Sui's childhood which was never far from flowers. She said she has always been romantic at heart. Probably we can already see that from her trademark. Flower, butterfly, warm golden, fiery red, sweet purple, etc are a clear deterrent on how romantic she is that she carries it out on her products.

The launching was hosted in Central Department Store, Grand Indonesia. In their small yet cute private lounge accommodating 20-30 people. The Decoration for the event was neat and pretty. Everything looks romantic as it should be to perfectly capture the essence of this perfume.

Anna Sui once said 'If fairytales were made of flowers, they would smell like Romantica'.

It is said that in the ingredients, one of the spice they used to create the scent is Indonesian sandalwood. It is not the first time  Anna Sui's perfume has used Indonesian spices on their ingredients. Our country has always been rich in spices. For some reasons, I have that sense of proud when i smell the scent of this perfume. Call me romantic, but knowing that I might live this country to move to another country, this sort of things makes me going mellow. Maybe this perfume will remind me of home once I live outside of the country.

They sprayed the perfume on my flower corset, sooo romantic, reminds me of Prom Party

Scent Review;

cold fresh sweet instead of warm sweetAt first, i smell a hint of guava..but the more i pay close attention it is actually a scent of pomegranate blend nicely with the flowery scent. On my opinion the scent of pomegranate and other spices are over powering the scent of the flowers. 

One thing that I like the most about Anna Sui's launch event, they make us feel special and it feels more of a Soiree where they will teach you some neat tricks. Last Anna Sui's launching event, they taught us to create flower tiara. This time they taught us how to create flower decoration on a cupcake, just like it looks on the picture above.

These are some of the pictures from the event;

FYI;

Central is celebrating its birthday. There is promo 20% discount for Romantica if you buy it in Central GI only until 11 Oct 2015. Go grab the deal asap!!!

Review: Anna Sui Lip Stick G

I am always a big fan of lipstick, not so much of a lip balm or lipgloss girl. I just got this Anna Sui Lip Stick G no.351 last Friday. I would like to share my experience with you.

I almost thought it was batik pattern...lol

 ★ Features ★
The claimed features are down bellow;
● A romantic lipstick with a shooting star bullet
Yes, the tip of the lipstick is in a shape of a star bullet. Cute and unique. The sharp tip makes it easier to reach the side of the lips. Tho, I have to be careful so it won't stroke on outside of my lip.
● Translucent Color × Glittery, Phantasmagoric Shine!
● A translucent base to showcase the SHINE & GLOW of glitter
I thought this 2 points are similar. I failed to understand the differences.
● Long-lasting shine & fresh, juicy hydration!
This is appear to be true. I wore it for a day and it doesn't make my lip felt dry at all. Long lasting in its own way.

Cute inner packaging

Review: Anna Sui La Vie de Boheme

Your Life, Your Passion,  Your Way

Anna Sui Indonesia has sent me one of their perfume product to review. Nope, they didn't pay me to review this product. So, I will let you know what I think about the product.

1. Packaging

I like the packaging (tho it is a bit too girly for some people). When you buy Anna Sui's product, you know you like girly feminine designs that has always been their design and decoration on their products. I am a girly girl, I love the color and designs they picked. It somehow shows a more adult feminine side from the choice of color and the pattern drawn on the packaging. They said the design is called Art Nouveau. Fancy!!!

2. Bottle

The bottle design is truly cute and feminine. Purple matte color for a bottle that shaped like Rose and butterfly lid in a bright gold color.

3. Ingredients

Perfumer, Philippe Romano from DRUM created this perfume from Turkish Rose, Sparkling Pear, Burgundy Berries and some warm woods element. Those names are absolutely fancy. I sprayed it a bit on my skin, I thought I only sprayed it a bit. But the smell was pretty strong. So it is the kind of perfume that you only need to spray a tad bit of it and it will goes along way. Kinda save money for the price they are selling it.

4. La Vie de Bohème in words

This perfume is targeted for Romantic yet Free Spirited Women. It carries a playful spring-summer scent. Portraying a fun yet mysterious character. Easy going yet strong and confident. It smells like a warm flower combined with the fruit scents from the Burgundy Berries. Personally I prefer a breeze of spring scent compare to a warm scent. Tho I don't mind the scent of this perfume either. This makes me feel elegantly feminine.

5. Test

I sprayed it on my clothes and the back of my neck. It stays for quite some time, like around 8 hours or so. Even after I took quick rinse because the weather was quite hot yesterday. I still smell like flower. I probably sprayed too much. Because at first the scent was almost too strong. I sprayed it 3 times on the skin. I guess one or twice here and there should be enough next time.

6. Price

It comes on several sizes and different prices.

75ml       =        Rp.887.000

50ml       =        Rp.690.000

30ml       =        Rp.505.000

Overview: 

I still prefer their La Nuit de Bohème EDT but I will go for this one too.

Review for: La Nuit De Bohéme EDT and EDP

Anna Sui Perfume Launching Event

16th October, a day before I had to go to the States, I went to Anna Sui Perfume Launching Event. It was a very fancy looking perfume and EDT. They launched 2 types of perfume, the black one and the gold one. They both looking gorgeous.

Who would have thought that a carefree Bohemian could also look stunningly gorgeous, luxurious, and classy. They nailed it. I was actually wasn't convince that Bohemian carefree spirit can come out as classy style too. But I am glad I was proven wrong.

1. Anna Sui La Nuit De Bohème EDT (Eau De Toilette) Gold
La Nuit de Bohème Eau de Toilette – A wonderful, magical miracle of the night.

Contains:

It smells like a fresh start. A smell that will remind you of fresh scented flower and morning dews. The flowery scented morning buds of summer fading away and welcoming the autumn. Cold and warm in the same time. Very girly and definitely suit my taste. I love this kind of romantic scented perfume or EDT. It suits my character very well. And for your information, I am not even a Bohemian. My character is a girly, sweet, ambitious girl. To think that I have high ambition, the black one might suited me better. But, I came from countryside, the smell of this EDT just reminds me a lot of my hometown. It brings back a lot of good memories when I was a kid and playing in rice fields, waterfall, flower gardens, etc.

2. Anna Sui La Nuit De Bohème EDP (Eau De Parfum) Black
La Nuit de Bohème Eau de Parfum – Dep, mysterious, and magnetic.

Contains:

Like I told you before, this perfume also suits the ambitious side of me. Still have a little hint of subtle carefree and mysterious sexiness too. It is suitable for night out with girls, a flirtatious adventure with a very good looking stranger, a sexy weekend after a long hard week, a naughty role playing side of you, and many more enchanting events.

This black series also contains a little bit of the rare 'black rose'. I was impressed. I know how rare is black rose and I have never ever laid eyes on it too. The smell of strong sexiness was come out as the result of all these ingredients. 

If you are interested in these 2 perfume, you can get it available in Metro Department Store for these prices:
