Hari Raya is coming in a
few days, how time flies! On 1st July 2015, I was honourable to be invited to an intimate
Ramadan dinner at Carcosa Seri Negara by Hong Kong beauty brand O’slee. Emceed
by renowned PR Xavier Mah, among those in attendance were celebrities Raja
Atilia and Daphne Iking who mingled and partook in the break fast session with
a delightful feast of authentic Malay and Asian dishes.

Present at the launch was
managing director of O’slee Malaysia, Aaron Lee, who was making his visit to
Kuala Lumpur. The event also introduced the Dark Circle Reducing Eye Care
Sleeping Mask, Pomegranate Milky Mask and Rosehip Beauty Solution Ruby Toner as
part of the brand’s Raya skin care series – ensuring that you’ll have
beautiful, healthy and glowing skin when visiting family and friends during the
festive period.
Prior to their
fulfilling meals, Xavier introduced Raja Atilia and Daphne
Iking, who took to the stage to share about their skincare regime during the
Ramadan month and after. In their session entitled Sleepover
Beauty: Sharing is Caring, both on
why woman of all ages should have a beauty regime that will aid in fortifying
the skin’s elasticity, keeping wrinkles at bay and improving the firmness and
texture of the epidermis through a holistic combination of a healthy diet and
the suitable beauty and grooming products.
“A beauty regime is
important not just during the fasting month because of the industry we’re
working in,” explains Daphne Iking. “It goes back to taking care of yourself
inside and out. I drink a mixture of asam java and turmeric as my morning
ritual. I still exercise during the fasting month and it’s easy to dehydrate.
I’m an active yoga practitioner but I pace myself. I’m a firm believer in
organic products when it comes to what we consume and apply on our skin. I’m
looking forward to heading off to Sabah during the festive period.”
Raja Atilia also
reiterated the need to keep one’s skin moisturised and hydrated during the
fasting months. “I teach yoga and it has a calming effect on me and energises
me for the day during the fasting month,” she says. “I’ve learnt to let go of
things and situations that I have no control over and be happy in life. I’m 41
[years old] this year and I have a very high metabolic rate. So it’s all boils
down to understanding your body and having an optimistic and healthy outlook on
life. It’s going to be a KL-Raya for me and I’m looking forward to feasting and
watching a whole lot of TV and celebrating with my loved ones.
This was then followed by
a presentation by Mr Lee called Skin Deep: Love your Face with Aaron Lee. Lee gave a brief introduction on his journey of
acquiring the licensing rights to O’slee in Malaysia through sheer audacity and
how marching to the beat of his own drum and trusting his instincts has served
him well.
“I was working as a cabin
crew and had horrible skin,” explains Lee. “A Cathy Pacific steward passed me
one of O’slee’s cleansers to try and it helped my predicament. Our climate is
hot and humid and we have products that are exclusively made for Malaysia
that’s water based – cream or lotion based ones then to make our faces look
very oily after a day out in KL. A good facial mask is also important two to
three times a week to rejuvenate the skin.”
The Pomegranate Milky Mask, for one, has
three times the antioxidant of that green tea. It protects the skin against
harmful free radicals, which prevents oxidation and shows the aging process.
The Dark Circle
Reducing Sleeping Mask is a first eye mask in Malaysia – stimulates the blood
circulation and neutralises toxins around the eye areas, thus reducing the
appearance of dark eye circles; while the Rosehip Beauty Solution Ruby
Toner is made from natural clustered water that easily permeate into skins and
activates the cell tissue.
Invited guests were also treated to a care package
from O’slee that thrilled everyone who tucked into dinner of ayam dara
panggang tairu badam, daging biryani kismis hitam, kambing kuzi daun pudina and
other sumptuous dishes before sampling Raya Kuihs and desserts. “We’ve grown from strength-to-strength
with O’slee and Guardian pharmacy as partners,” says Lee. “We even have our own
lightboxes at their premises and I’m happy with how the brand is growing in
Malaysia when we’ve been so accustomed to Japanese and Korean brands in this
similar price range. My neighbours are celebrating Hari Raya and I’m looking
forward to their delicious Penang style curry that’s most spicy and
flavourful.”
