On October 1st, I graced Estée Lauder Companies' Breast Cancer Awareness (BCA) Campaign Event over at Singapore Flyer.

For those whom have not been following my previous BCA posts, here they are for you to get a clearer idea, Estee Lauder Companies: Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign and Estee Lauder Companies Limited Edition Pink Ribbon Products.

The hosts of the day were Hossan Leong and Sharon Au.

As expected, he included 'confirm? double confirm?' in his dialogue. Sharon Au is really beautiful in real life. She looked different compared to when she was still with Mediacorp.

I must say that she looks really elegant. She even graced the event by wearing a pink blazer!

And then.. its time to illuminate Singapore Flyer!

3... 2.... 1!

And Singapore Flyer transformed into a radiant pink!

Following which, Mrs Mary Tan proceeded to write her pledge.

Patricia says, "Yes, early detection indeed save lives, so we ought to do regular breast self examinations!"

She introduced me to Clinique's Chubby Stick which is somewhat in between a lipstick and a lipgloss. The color that she applied on me was - Watermelon which she followed up with gloss in the middle to make my lips look more 'youthful'.

Another item which she tried on me was Clinique's Cream Blusher. I have never tried anything from Clinique before apart from its 3-step skincare. The cream blusher was awesome, it had a powder finish after applying onto the cheeks! She said that I have got nice cheekbones so I ought to contour it by applying my blusher higher.

Here's a picture of me which I took at home because the lighting there didn't exactly show the makeup true to color.

And a close-up swatch of Clinique Chubby Stick in Watermelon.

I think that I might just get it anytime soon because it makes my lips look so luscious!

I realized that make-up artists love to complement my skintone with bright lip color. Joyce was like saying, "Oh Patricia, they applied a bright lip color for you again!"

As I experience oiliness on my T-zone and it happened that the Clinique trainer commented on it and she told me that I could use powder over it to mattify it, I took the chance to ask her if there were any ways to reduce the oilness on the T-zone. She said that its best to use a clay mask on the T-zone to combat that. True enough, I tried it as soon as I got back home and it did work! Well, at least my T-zone wasn't that oily as before but nonetheless, it still gets a bit oily after a while. Blame it on my skin! Arghs.

And then, we boarded the pod.

Here's a couple of slides which I would like to highlight to you all.

5. Women age 40-49 should have a screening mammogram on a yearly basis to detect any lump or changes in the breasts. For 50 and older women, they should go for screening once every two weeks. Early detection through regular mammograms saves lives.

11. Breast cancer is the leading cancer in females with an age-standardised incidence of 56.2.

12. “Compared to the West, Asian women are on the average 10 years younger when they are diagnosed with breast cancer. In addition, we also see a greater proportion of breast cancers in the below 40 age group, which comprised of 12-15% of all breast cancers treated at KKH Breast Department. There are also studies done elsewhere in Asia that suggest this trend. In the West, only about 5% of all breast cancers lie in this age group,” said Dr Esther Chuwa, Consultant Breast Surgeon, Breast Unit, KK Women's and Children's Hospital.

Dr Esther Chuwa also taught us how to perform breast self examination. I figured that it would be hard to convey that with photos or text so I took a video while she explains how.
