2017. |
The first ever Orchid ‘Be Yourself’
competition finale rocked the house at Alamanda Shopping Centre in
Putrajaya, as talented finalists gave their all as they out-acted,
out-sang, out-danced and outshone each other to grab the chance of
winning RM6,000 in total cash prizes, exclusive Orchid feminine wash
products and the once-in-a-lifetime experience to star beside Orchid
brand ambassador, Sazzy Falak, in a short firm produced by local
production mega house Metrowealth International Group (MiG)!
In
efforts to empower more Malaysian women to openly address the topic of
intimate feminine hygiene, Orchid, an up-and coming feminine wash range,
organized its first ever ‘Be Yourself’ competition, in conjunction with

Host, actress and Orchid’s brand ambassador, Sazzy Falak, Ms Tan Joo In

The
competition finale was joined by Watsons Personal Care Stores (Malaysia)
Sdn. Bhd. (Watsons Malaysia), a Health, Wellness and Beauty solution

Malaysia carries 1000 brands ranging from medicines, health supplements,

The Orchid ‘Be Yourself’ contest
ran on Orchid’s official Facebook page from May 30 to November 30 last
year, and saw entries from many confident, modern and talented Malaysian
women.
“These women have what it takes as performers –
the talent, the showmanship and from what we can see there has been a
fair amount of thought, planning and practice for those who excelled.
However, the top three outdid the others through stage presence,
confidence, audience interaction, showmanship and creativity. Overall
the talent show was very impressive,” said Sazzy.
The
Orchid Feminine Hygiene range contains nourishing and traditional
cleansing ingredients such as Manjakani, Kacip Fatimah and Daun Sirih
(Betel Leaf) that gently deodorizes, brightens and strengthens delicate
skin, providing a balanced solution that caters to every skin type. The
gentle formula is designed to enhance hygiene, comfort and intimate balance while helping to reduce itchiness and discomfort caused by imbalanced vaginal pH.
Orchid
Feminine Wash is available in three variants of Intim, Romantis and
Anggun. The femininely shaped 210ml bottles retail at RM4.75 each, and
are available nationwide.
Product Manager, Household
& Personal Care, Marketing Division of Lam Soon Edible Oils Sdn Bhd,
Ms Tan Joo In said that the contest aims to encourage more women to
step up and be empowered by their femininity rather than to be ashamed
to address concerns that might be causing them to worry or to feel less
confident.
“We are happy that more and more Malaysian
women stepped up to join the conversation, and participated in the ‘Be
Yourself’ contest. Aside from gaining confidence on a wider stage, those
who engage could exchange information and we could establish a
community of women who care about every aspect of being well-equipped
with the knowledge of hygiene and general wellbeing,” said Ms Tan.
