Power Over Cervical Cancer (POCC)

Have you heard about Cervical Cancer?

Cervical cancer is the 2nd most common cancer affecting women worldwide, and in Singapore, 1 woman is diagnosed with cervical cancer every 2 days. Ironically, this is the only woman’s cancer which is preventable.

OC Group is currently running a non-profit cervical cancer awareness campaign - Power Over Cervical Cancer (POCC). This campaign aims to educate mass females about the danger of cervical cancer and how they can protect themselves.

***For more info, pls refer to the POCC website.***

This year's campaign theme is "You have the Power!". 

As a woman, you have the power to enjoy the best in life, to live the way you want, and most importantly, you do have the power to protect yourself!

Power to Conquer
To kick start the campaign for this week, there will be an online Reverse Auction activity - Power to Conquer.
Every 2 days, there will be an item up for bid from as low as 80% of the retail price. Unlike the usual auction where highest bid wins, this Reverse Auction is the LOWEST UNIQUE BID wins!

These exclusive items are proudly sponsored by the supporting retail partners & celebrity ambassadors.
The aim is to pool in as many ladies as possible (18 to 45yr old) onto POCC platforms to learn more about cervical cancer. 

In the month of May...

Power to Challenge
For this challenge, there will be 8 retail merchants offering special item/service at an attractive price specially for this POCC activity.
They will be introducing a "Challenge Game Card" where the participant will need to complete at least 4 "challenge tasks" on the cards from the participating merchants and enter in a grand lucky draw with lots of exciting prizes.
This is a unique challenge whereby you can enjoy exclusive offers at the participating merchants and also stand to win more prizes!

Power to Enjoy Retail Therapy
The campaign's key event - Power to Enjoy Retail Therapy, will be on 26 May, at Scape Orchard, Warehouse (an indoor air-conditioned area). 
This is a full day event from 11am - 8pm.
Through this they aim to reach out to ladies and spread the awareness message, hence it is a female-only indulgence event to pamper ladies with all things purple, and bag great bargains.

Random Swatch-Fest: Majolica Majorca Cream de Cheek & Trick On Liner

Majolica Majorca Chapter 35 - Circus Ecstacy, was launched quite recently. I was particularly drawn to Cream de Cheek, a gel cream blusher available in 4 shades [RD310 Coral Cream, RD411 Raspberry Cream, PK312 Shell Pink Cream, OR313 Custard Cream]. By the way, it is NOT limited edition (oh yeah~). 

Majolica Majorca Chapter 35 - Circus Ecstacy

This collection consists of:-

• Cream de Cheek - $22.90
• Trick On Liner [limited edition] - $19.90
• Crack Nails [limited edition] - $9.90
• Majoromantica [limited edition] -$25.90
• Dress Glove Cream [not pictured] - $10.90 

Cream de Cheek

They look just like little lovely bottles of nail polish... so pretty! 

The gel cream blushers spread on smoothly and blend well for natural-looking flushed cheeks. No shimmers, I like!

Hmm... thinking of getting Custard Cream... the milky orange shade looks so "delish" :P

Trick On Liner

It is a gel liquid eyeliner, which comes in 2 shades [RS333 Rose Clown, BK999 Black Clown].

Black Clown is a very intense black. Rose Clown is a pretty rose color with micro-shimmer bits.

That's all for now. Thank you for reading.
