You're Never Fully Dressed Up Without Your Smile

wearing Karen Millen dress for today's event.

As I entered the Cloud Lounge, The Plaza, I was greeted with a small card with a fashion quote on it. Close-up invited me, Harumi PS from mytipscantik.com, Ayla Dimitri from Style.com Indonesia, and Diera Bachier, one of Indonesia's most famous fashion photographer, and together with fashion & beauty bloggers to share about blogging, make-up, fashion, and photography tips to boost our day & night appearance. (If you're a blogger too and you want to get invited to my next events / gathering, please do drop me email to [email protected] with subject "Contact me", I will be glad to notify you by email!)

Amazing view from 54th floor, while the event was about to start.

This event is also an exclusive preview of Close-Up's newest line of toothpaste, collaborating with cosmetic dentistry to create a one-time use instant whitening. Consultation session with celebrities' favourite cosmetic dentist, Drg. Hilly Gayatri, she explained the facts and correlation between white teeth and beauty. Some facts I just discover, whiter teeth makes you look 5 years younger, 20% more attractive, and it even increases the the percentage of getting a job and being employed (It's pretty surprising how your bad teeth can easily ruin your social life.) She also explained the procedures of teeth whitening, which ones are the safe one and which one aren't. However, Close-Up's newest invention is the Blue Light Technology, which is using blue light illusion with their blue paste & foam, it makes your teeth instantly look brighter after using, with no bleaching or other dangerous method. Hurray!

Drg. Hilly showed us a simple example of how the toothpaste work. She put a pearl necklace in coffee, in other glass she diluted the toothpaste and hot water, then inserted half part of the coffee-stained pearl necklace and wait for approximately 1-2 minutes.

The pearl necklace went back to its real white color!

Now it's the bloggers turn to take the stage. Harumi showed the technique of getting whiter teeth illusion with just bronzer and red lipstick with blue undertone. I also shared jewellery mix and match tips, how to wear necklace and earrings to match with your outfit yet not over shine your whole appearance. Continued by Ayla's tips to pose and smile, and Diera Bachier's photography tips. Over all, it was one productive night with lots of new knowledge shared!

The lucky girl that night was Thalia, to get the experimental make-over by us after the talkshow!

Look at that sparkly confident smile!

Thanks to my best gals Anastasia Siantar & Clara Devi for coming tonight, here are our mitchy-matchy white outfits! :D Went home with a box of Close Up Diamond Attraction (look at that fabulous packaging design which is unusual for toothpaste!
