Last month, we did the PR for Eleanor – a new high-end cosmetics brand made in Japan, whose first flagship store is located in Leighton Centre at Causeway Bay, Hong Kong. Also available in Singapore, Eleanor is now within reach for Malaysians, as it is sold exclusively in selected SASA stores across the country.

Projecting the concept that “Beauty is Art”, Eleanor was designed to integrate make up with art aesthetics in the belief that every woman’s inner thirst for beauty breeds art.

Eleanor’s branding very much glides down a flawless grassy lane that gently curves through a gigantic lush garden filled with tiny colourful birds that carry magical keys to you with their beaks, to which they open up doors of a silver castle into room upon room filled with every imaginable treasure a princess could ever want.

I totally made that up by the way… judging from their website visuals and packaging.

The brand’s character is whimsical, feminine, romantic, and classy. If you’re looking for something to treat yourself (or your lady) to this Valentine’s Day, this could well be a viable option. Especially the Miracle Key collection- the products have the tiniest metal keys that come hanging off it, i don’t think i’ve seen anything like it! Talk about attention to detail.

The theme for the launch event was floral, to tie in with Eleanor’s branding, and the set up of imported floral arrangements paired with venue Botanica & Co’s secret garden interior was pretty on point.

We coordinated a mix of celebrities, bloggers, influencers, and beauty KOLs to attend the event. I feel that it’s difficult or unfair to label an individual as just one designation… cos many of them fall under two or more! For the client’s sake (and ours, for easier communication), we internally group them according to their deliverables. I didn’t get to meet and take pictures with every single one cos it was really crowded, and Baby/Faridah was handling them at registration. Apologies to those i didn’t get to note down here, we’ll try again at the next one!

To pique more interest surrounding its cosmetics, Eleanor selected actresses Emily Zying and Jasmine Suraya to host a make up demonstration on stage showing off their favourite day and night looks created using Eleanor. Thanks to the girls for being really accommodating and professional, i joked that Make Up Artist could be their back up careers.

Me, with actresses Emily Chan Zying, Tong Bing Yu, Jasmine Suraya, Jojo Goh, and emcee for the event Belinda Chee. I’ve known Bel since we were fresh faces out of college ? Credits to Love, Bonito for my dress! And check out my tan from Wonderfruit, i should just live in a festival forever.

With influencers Karen Kho, Jasmine Suraya, Chenelle Wen, Chanwon, and Grace Choong.

There were so many guests queueing to get their caricature done, or have their customized floral bouquets put together, that i gave up after 5 seconds and walked off #cantdoqueues

Back at home, i took out the products that Eleanor gifted to me to play with >>

The engraved silver-plated mirror on bottom right is from the Eleanor collection too (RM 185), and would look great on a dressing table especially if it’s already honed towards a baroque style. Or you could just put it on your office desk and look at yourself while on a con call.

Pictured above is The Miracle Key Glowing Blusher (RM 170) in 03 Blossom Time,
The Miracle Key Crystal Lipstick (RM 125) in 02 Mellow Evening,
The Miracle Key Brow Shaper (RM 95) in 01 Dark Brown,
The Miracle Key Liquid Eye Definer (RM 95),
The Miracle Key Creamy Lip Gloss (RM 105) in 07 Strawberrie Sherbet

Face put on, with the make up above:

I shot the selfie above with my camera and merely brightened the levels slightly on photoshop, so you can see the actual colour of the make up. Didn’t lightroom / snapseed / whatever otherwise! On my lips is the Crystal Lipstick in 02 Mellow Evening.

Changed up the lipstick for the Creamy Lip Gloss in 07 Strawberrie Sherbet

The Creamy Lip Gloss in 07 Strawberrie Sherbet has a thick creamy texture with high-shine finish. As you can see, one swatch swipe shows off intense colour with its nourishing high performance formula that provides shine like coats of lacquer.

The Crystal Lipstick in 02 Mellow Evening swatched just below looks barely-there on my hand, but shows up smooth and natural when applied on lips. I’m quite keen on the colour, it’s like a lilac mauve reminiscent of a young twilight sky.

The Brow Shaper has a retractable pencil tip with a tapered end to shape, define and fill in brows for a natural polished look; while the other end features a brush for brow grooming. Besides the colour i got which is dark brown, it’s also available in dark grey. I found it medium-soft in texture so i don’t have to press hard in any way when applying it, else it’ll come off as too dark (unless that’s what you’re going for). Easy to colour in brows fast, and skinny end of the taper allows for defined lines.

The Liquid Eye Definer has a super-fine hair-brush tip for precise application and versatility in line width for a variety of looks. The rich, highly pigmented colour glides on smoothly for intense payoff that dries down quickly and stays put for long hours without smudging, unless you cry with laughter and accidentally rub tears away. Then you’d have to redo the flicks on the sides of your eyes. #triedandtested
