Last month, the luxury skincare and cosmetic brand Dior and The Spoiled Mummy teamed up to host the first of its kind exclusive beauty workshop called Dior Soirée Privée for some of its very special guests.

The Sulu Room of the Edsa Shangri-la Hotel was transformed into a modern workshop setting decked out in black and white.

Lenard Tiongson, Dior’s Brand Manager welcomed the guests to the private event.

This intimate beauty workshop comprised of a small group of ladies who are fans and loyal customers of Dior.  Everyone was excited to learn more beauty tips from the guest expert!

Dior invited certified image consultant and beauty expert Cristina Madara to be the event’s special guest and speaker. She taught the importance and benefits of maintaining a regular skincare regimen and the proper ways of applying makeup that can last from day to night.

Each guest was provided their own set of beauty tools, skincare and makeup to try. It was indeed a very personalized beauty workshop!

The venue was transformed into our own beauty wonderland. Love the fact that all the skincare and makeup products were accessible to us!

A skin expert analysis was made on our guests. This special gadget used in Dior counters is called “the foundation shade analyzer” — a very useful and practical tool that helps determine the right shade of foundation for your skin tone. This helps eliminate the guess work when women buy their foundation.

Although not a beauty expert myself, I also gave my own “small talk” about how I’ve been a long-time user of Dior Skincare and Makeup and how it has helped me maintain that “healthy skin” and “youthful glow”.

All throughout the event, guests were treated and spoiled by the lovely afternoon spread provided by Dior.

Aside from being a skin care expert and a makeup artist, Cristina Madara is also a beauty vlogger (yes, that’s a blog but with a v — meaning a video blog!) She has gained a cult following since she started her “Confessions of a Beauty Junkie” vlog four years ago on You Tube. 

In her vlog, Cristina does product reviews of various skincare and cosmetic brands. She also teaches proper applications and techniques when using each product. And when she’s not busy vlogging, she does makeup, private consultations and lessons in the privacy of her clients’ homes.

The women had fun bonding, learning about beauty and being pampered and spoiled by luxury brand Dior. Everyone went home happy and yes, beautiful that day. 🙂
