[EVENT] Embrace the Spirit of Giving with GIFTOPIA by Sample Store

GIFTOPIA MOVEMENT BY SAMPLE STORE

The Giftopia Movement is the latest campaign supported by Sample Store and the idea behind this movement is to bring us back to the good old days of writing and mailing postcards to one another. With the advancement in technology, connecting with friends can be done in split seconds through Whatsapp, Messengers, etc and receiving a handwritten card in the letter box is almost a rare occasion.


Partnering with True Colour Media (TCM), a nostalgic short film titled 我的秘密笔友 (My Secret Pen Pal) was featured on Stomp to drive the message to start penning down your love and how this method can create sentimental value to show appreciation. If you have not watched it, below is the video clip.


Such a nice and heartwarming video. 


I'm glad that I still have this very special friend of mine whom we still keep in touch through snail mail. The latest postcard received from her was in August when she went to Korea. I could really feel the warmth and sincerity whenever I receive her mails to me. 


I received this piles of postcards during the earlier Sample Store's Influencers Tea Party gathering. Each and every piece is different and some comes with a meaningful message. 


Not only that, all the postcard are already Postage Paid. This is a great opportunity for me to start writing and sending. If any of my readers here would like to receive a handwritten postcard from me, do email me your mailing address at chewyjas@gmail.com. While Stock Last.

GIFTOPIA EVENT BY SAMPLE STORE

To raise public awareness of the Giftopia Movement, Sample Store also organized a beauty and lifestyle event at Raffles City Atrium over the weekend.  


There's lots of exclusive deals from not just local but also international beauty brands. 


I went down on Saturday with a few of my other friends and we were quite impressed with the set up this year. Group photo of the happy us credit to Cookie Hui Jin. 


Que Origin was the first booth that we saw. All ingredients from their products are naturally derived. Their recent launched product is the Portion Lotion that comes in 5 different flavours and 3 different oil content that helps not only to hydrate the skin but also to improve skin barrier and aids in anti-aging. I've blogged about their products before and they can be purchased online at www.que-origin.com. Quote "CHEWYJAS" during your first order checkout to receive $5 off if your purchase is $10 and above and $3 for purchase of $10 and below. 


KARMART - Thailand's No. 1 Beauty Brand was there too! Check out their website at www.karmarts.com.sg


Did a sampling trial of their Water Splash Essence by Cathy Doll. 


See the water droplets forming after a few circular motion rubbing. Amazing.


Their hand cream are also a popular hit. Most popular one being the one with the Mango Sticky Rice scent!  


I bought the Mousse Cleanser without knowing that there's an identical bottle inside our goodie bag. However, the one I bought comes with the brush which I find it convenient to use. It can be used to remove make-up and cleanse the face.


Thank you Karmartsclub Singapore for featuring us on Facebook and Instagram. We enjoyed ourselves at the booth.


The next booth by Beauty Keeper catches our eyes with their line up of different Beauty boxes! It's an online web portal opened to international customers to order their beauty box with beauty products from Taiwan. Check out their website at http://www.beauty-keeper.com


Ecstatic us with our Beauty Boxes in hand. The products are all full sized products but most of the contents and instructions on the products are in Chinese. Photo Credit to Tracy! Thank you! 


Other booths selling cute and interesting items and the main highlight of Giftopia - Postcards booth.


Express manicure at $5 and Gelish manicure at $10 from VanidaySG booth to pamper one at.


Those feeling adventurous can even get themselves a temporary tattoo at $7.


We checked out the revamped Sample Store website which gives a much more modern and fresh look as compared to their old website. Users now even received badges according to their status. Upon submitting our feedback, we all get a chance to spin the sure win lucky wheel and win more samples! 


The nice refreshments that were served at a glance. 


Thanks Jessie for helping me to take this photo. I had a great time exploring the different booths with my friends and looking forward to more events and new products to be up on the Sample Store website! Thank you! 



XOXO
