meeting with the creator of Veld's: Joyce Musy

received my gold card about a week ago?

to those who use gift cards (where you put in money just like debit cards

and uses at starbucks) starting from September (last month)

Korea made the consumers receive "the stars" as a reward program

those who get 30 stars within a year gets a gold card

I was one of the first 1200s so I received my gold card at the fastest pace in Korea

& a free beans (250 grams I believe) as a token of thanks in return!

very thoughtful of them to do so!

personalized card has engraved name

(in Korean, and for English we can write any words but I just wrote my real name

which is yes my English name)

you can get free today's coffee for buying the beans,

you get coupons for new drinks (buy 1, get 1 free),

free drink for birthday,

for every 15 drinks, you get 1 free drink

and other advantages

they're pretty good deals for me who drink coffee non-stop a day

for the first time I had put on a sticker nails

(from the saem)

it costed 2 bucks and for my first attempt, it looked alright

but I heard that I'd put them upside down

supposedly, rounder sides are to be down and the squared shapes up?

still not sure

hoping to get it right next time

went to urban space on Tues. after the holiday here

the usual 10 bloggers and 3 more invited bloggers came to meet up with

Veld's founder, Joyce Musy

Veld's is seriously an amazing line

I'll tell you more about it below, so keep on reading!

by the way, I heard that in France

Veld's is really successful (also in among other countries too,

in Korea it is quite newly launched here at Urban Space)

followed up by Lancome, Clarins and next with Veld's

Xim-up is a highly concentrated oil product

so when it's applied with your hand it is too oily

and in fact, it is the wrong way

you have to wet your cotton pad with warm water

and apply xim up using this cotton pad

that way, it balances even the oily skin and

works as a perfect anti-aging product to erase the wrinkles out

while waiting for other bloggers to arrive

(I came at about 30 minutes earlier than usual,

so I could browse through the lines Urban Space carry

and to test them myself first)

and found Mistral's lovely perfumes

the scent was really light, pretty scent that could even work as

an alternative to home fragrance

mistral also carries great line of soaps

(facial,body soaps)

I'll translate you what it says:

for those who purchase over $400

you get free 1 month membership for "Fitness M"

which costs about $280

look good, feel good, stay beautiful while being healthy!

go Urban Space :)

she is Joyce Musy

she was a former model in France

(for well known brands like Christian Lacroix, Dior, and Yves Saint Laurent etc.)

that's why many models from those past days and

even those who still work today follow her brand loyally

because they trust in her brand

can you believe that she's 55?

love how she looks beautiful both in and out

loved her self-confidence in her brand,

passion to make all women beautiful and young,

& for the active ingredients she uses (they are from South Africa,

and everything else is made and produced in France)

she told us about her modeling career,

purpose of starting her own brand,

the effects from veld's products, and many fun , informative stories

all products sounded wonderful

but we focused on talking about 3 best selling products,

pure pulp (which we received this day),

age killer, and fatal beauty

during the presentation we the bloggers

kept on applying these products on our hands and palms to

see the colors, smell the scents, see how it feels

when applied

basically to feel how it's like to use Veld's

fatal beauty:

it has colors, BUT it is categorized as a "skincare" product

not as a "makeup" product

it's similar to what we call BB cream

but it has a plumping product

so it plumps skin & makes you look "gorgeous"

has an ingredient called "guggulu"

it perfects color and texture of your skin,

hide spots naturally

it is an absolutely perfect skin primer (I can't believe I'm writing down

words to words of what she said, but believe me, this is the best description

and such powerful words to make us trust in this brand)

which has a transparent veil

it's not artificial, but rather catches the light and covers up

even the dark circles (those dark areas, baggage under your eyes)

I heard that this product is loved by many makeup artists

used for models because this product "catches the light" so it's perfect

for the photoshoots, or wherever the cameras are

it's not oily but has hydrating action

age killer:

I really want this product

as the name suggests, it wants to stop your age

or slow your aging process

it gives you a huge promise

it keeps the elastin and collagen at 98% of its stance

can be used even in the eyes part like an eye cream

unlike how it looks too strong just like the other anti-aging products,

it is rather best to be used as young, and as soon as you are possible!

even if you are 17 that is

so like she said, from 17 to 80 they can all look beautiful

using this product because it catches your facial line tightly,

and it even works for all oily skin, dry skin!

perfect for those who have small imperfections

because it balances the skin like I said earlier

has natural anti bacterial ingredients that make it more efficient

to be used right after the plastic surgeries done

thin film of polysaccharide prevents evaporation of water from inside of your skin to going outside (it traps water for you)

this hydrating film renew the skin and lifts it up

how to use? use age killer first and then finish by pure pelp

to make your makeup last longer (throughout the day)

catered service for us

(unfortunately, since I took my wisdom tooth out recently

I could drink water with no problem

but the sandwiches were the hardest challenge of the day)

[was hoping to see the SPF lotion from the evidens de beaute

and here they are! has SPF of 30

costs about $200 here in Korea for 25mL]

has a color of a beige-ish + light orange-ish shade

just like a base makeup product

she made me believe that

we don't need plastic surgeries

but finding great skincare products

that work for your skin

best defines and shapes your face structure

it seemed possible to really slow your aging process

by appearance

fun products called "color demands"

the darker one is used to darken your foundation or any other

makeup shades that is too light for you

and the white bottle is to make the shade lighter

so if you have these products, you can make your own toned shade

by mixing it up with other foundation, bb cream, base,

tinted moisturizer, etc.

genius!

Joyce was really nice and took each and group photos all

when I came she held fatal beauty (and I held pure pulp)

as if it was a microphone!

I have to learn a lot from her!

(even on how to pose in front of camera, and SMILE!!! )

this is a gel type product so it's easy to use

I began to use it starting from the very next day

pure pulp:

this has a healing process

because it has aloe ferox

it's different from aloe vera, which we can find so easily

on many products at the drugstores

because aloe vera grows from the ground

but aloe ferox comes from the giant tree leaves (from the top)

this "repairs & protects" your skin

and works perfect for day gel

it has an instant plumping effect

I was reading how to use in Korean

and it said I can mix it with my makeup product or used at

a sunburnt, or wherever you want to "heal"

so I applied all my skincare products, and then applied it with my

bb cream and because I 'believe' in this product,

I felt like my face was glowing all over so beautifully

it looked natural glow, not an artificial glow made from a highlighter

so I felt really good, and the clear gel looked so pure

if I continuously use it, I think it will prevent me from my

skin fats to fall out of shape as you are aging?
