Last Thursday, 22 January 2015, I was lucky enough to be a part of the Elevatione by Salvador Dali launch party. It was by far the most artistically influenced and avant garde launch party that I have been to. There were a few familiar faces of influential people from social media and print media alike and I regret not taking more pictures with the guests as I was too preoccupied with taking pictures of the event, the models, the art and food!

Elevatione is a new skincare concept that opened its doors to us at the end of 2014 with their outlet at Mandarin Gallery being its first ever store worldwide and its flagship store in Singapore. Soon after, they opened a store in Hong Kong at D'Aguilar Street near Lan Kwai Fong and in London on Regent Street at Liberty House. With such premium locations and products to match, Elevatione sets out to be the next big thing in skincare.
The event was elegantly done with beautiful art pieces from Red Sea Gallery and Art Exchange which included a modern interpretation of Dali doing the Gangnam Style. My favorite however was the original bronze sculpture of the melting clock on the branch "Profile of Time" of which there are only 350 pieces worldwide.
To entertain the guests, they had unlimited trays of Bottega bubbly making its round as well as delicious canapes from Amici, the Chicken Rice balls were too die for! I was thoroughly taken in by their Dali inspired cupcakes too!
However, what caught my eyes from the moment I arrived were the lovely models in the window donning Dali-esque moustaches and stunning head pieces by Fibi Bespoke and dresses by Gnossem! Of course being a shoe person, who could miss the blinged out boots and studded pumps that the models were wearing from Kandee.

As I made my way round the store, I definitely had many "Ooh and Aah" moments! They had a contact juggler with his magical crystal ball, a barber from Sultan of Shave who would style your moustache (if you pleased) and not forgetting the knowledgeable staff who were more than happy to impart their knowledge of Elevatione skincare with the guests.
To be in attendance was an honor in itself but what really made my day was the amazing goodie bag! It is by far the most generous goodie bag I have ever received with a full size facial serum, body scrub and body lotion! Among other things included was a brochure with some samples, a voucher for a free Marcha Ballerina and a complimentary facial voucher. Elevatione is spoiling me rotten! I can't wait to try the products!
Well, don't take my word for it...make your way down to the store and even if you think you don't need any skincare, the store itself is impressive enough to warrant a visit!
Congratulations again on the launch of Elevatione!
