Ramadan Festival with The Body Shop

Hello lovelies,

In Indonesia, one of the most anticipated time of the year is during Ramadan. It's when Moslem begin the month of fasting, embrace their closeness to God, family and with The Body Shop, to the nature as well.

-*-

Arrived at the event, The Body Shop Indonesia has prepared us to a unique and one of a kind event where everyone get to know about their program and festivity. There are 4 stations in total and I started my journey in the gift station.

-*-

Who doesn't like gifts?! And who doesn't like gifts from The Body Shop?! Beautifully wrapped to the occasion, filled with products that not just smell good but suitable for almost everyone. We can simply choose one for the men, one for the moms, one for the kids, one for those in love, one for beauty addicts and makeup lover, one for the home, and one for just about anyone. Everyone can find something they like from The Body Shop.

-*-

One thing about The Body Shop is that they always progressing, making and creating new ideas and bringing new items to the table. Their seasonal packaging also a delight, you could find one accordingly, like this Ramadan Festival, the decorations and design are a match.

In this station, we have a chance to win a goodies for someone that we thought would need or we just want to share some happiness with. I wrote one for my mom, after having 2 of my own and she has 4, I applaud her for being so patience and 'survived' haha! It is not easy definitely but she made it. I love her, I rarely say that to her, but she does amazed me sometime, and she deserved pampering. She has dedicated her time for her family, it is not an easy sacrifice, remember that no one is born to do a chore, it's ones willingness to do so. So please do give your mom a big hug and a huge appreciation.

The next station is the Makeup Station filled with their current focus, the eyeliners!! They comes in colorful shades and in duo packaging. One eyeliner with two ends. One in darker shade and the other in lighter, it is made to be used together or as your heart pleases.

I'm using the one in blue and white, instantly brightens my eyes and made them pop.

There are pencil highlighter for the eyebrows too, it helps accentuating and made the arch more define.

-*-

The best part about this station is we get to play our own or ask the BA to give us a hand. She is more than willing in giving tips and how to's.

-*-

Station number three is skincare!!! Hooray!! So happy to be here! I'm in my zone.

And aside from all the irresistible skincare and their lovely texture, these greenies are my favorite. The aroma is green and calming, suitable for all skin type including men too, light, watery and promote hydration and anti aging at the same time.

Bringing two new products on the table, the moisturizer and one item that seems to be the trend now. A liquid that is made to be used after the toner and before serum or even before pre serum.

-*-

It comes in a gel that melts on the skin instantly. I want it so bad!!!

-*-

Nowadays skincare has gotten more serious, seriously gooodddd. Say good bye to heavy rich and greasy texture, everyone is embracing light, watery and gel formula that satisfying to all skin type.

-*-

And we made it to the final station, station number 4.

In each station we were given coins to collect and after that, the ones with the most coins will get prizes, wow! I'm keen to collect and the program itself is spot on. We get to learn, experiment and for once having a great time while embracing our nature. The Body Shop will never forget to make us see the difference we can make together. Either the Community Trade, charity programs to the daily commitment. Once again, in this event, we ought to write down things that we want to do for the environment.

I wrote some of the visible things I can do, from reduce waste/trash, use less plastic, use ingredients or material that doesn't do harm to the environment and be more friendlier to just about anyone. Hopes that cools down the temperature >.<.

-*-

Why 'Sedekah Pohon'? In this occasion, The Body Shop Indonesia wishes to grow more trees in as the natural barrier of our island. Jakarta itself sunk 0,5 cm each year and in the future, we are no longer under the seasonal flooding but we will be going here and there using a boat. It is pretty in Venice and Amsterdam, but are we ready to spend tax money to keep the island float? Or we can start now by planting more mangrove.

Donate at any The Body Shop shops near you directly to the cashier any amount possible and make a difference.

-*-

After finish collecting the coins and gave mine to be counted. We are moved to this beautiful room. It's like one of those scene in a Arabic movie where the princesses lives. Luxurious, cultural, and most of all beautiful filled with meanings.

-*-

I love the decor as much as I love how The Body Shop incorporate everything. I'm sort of looking for skincare infused with korma :D

-*-

Three ladies come in as a part of a fashion show and each of them share a different look to celebrate Ramadan.

Monochromatic Eye, Bold Smokey Eye and Egyptian Winged Eye.

-*-

One for a more natural finish, bold and bolder.

-*-

Soon after two famous celebrities enter the stage and share their favorite products from The Body Shop with a representative for the charity, Bambang Suherman.

The Body Shop brings beauty with conscience.

-*- 

After the three vloggers and a thoughtful share from The Body Shop on how we can be a smart consumer as well as activist to the environment, the event finally ended with a sweet end.

Winners are announced and 5 lucky people get to have their gifts sent from the Gift Station to that special one. And then another announcement is made for those who manage to collect the most coins, and I won one of the prize. I'm so happy!!

-*-

Thank you so much The Body Shop Indonesia, see you on the next event!!

Have a happy and peaceful Ramadan everyone.
