Are your eyes the next big thing?

Advertorial

I think that make up has improved leaps and bounds over the last few years.

It used to be really uncommon for girls to wear fake lashes... Everyone just used mascara (which, imho, is really useless)... which was really tragic! I remembered having to curl my obstinately straight lashes for hours before they could curl for like 2 minutes, then, in the humidity, go depressingly droopy again. :(

And not to mention that eyelash extensions were not even invented yet!!

As for coloured contacts, I remember that they were really rarely used, and used to be so expensive!

But now everybody wears coloured or iris enlarging lenses!! Even the coloured lenses make eyes look bigger and brighter too!

Well most (smart) girls in Singapore do lah anyway.

I mean, if you were already short sighted, why not choose coloured lenses instead of plain ones to give your looks a boost??

I have perfect eyesight and I still wear coloured contacts anyway lor! Mad hiao!

And I'm happy because the more people wear cosmetic lenses, the more different colours will be created!


AND FRESHLOOK (best selling brand for cosmetic lenses!) HAS 3 NEW COLOURS!


GEMSTONE GREEN
.
STERLING GRAY
.
BRILLIANT BLUE


I love Freshlook's patented 3-in-1 technology that blends 3 colours into a single lens, making it look so much more 3D and realistic!

Here I am, 'modeling' 2 of their new babies!








COOL HUH??

I especially love their brilliant blue (and normally I'm not a fan of blue lenses coz I feel that blonde + blue eyes a bit like too act angmoh), coz the colour is SOOOOOOOO VIBRANT!!

Like so striking you can see it from a distance!



Nice. :D


Freshlook has a fanpage now on Facebook, and they are searching for The Next Big Thing... contestants to win a year's supply of cosmetic lenses!

The contest is already closed, but do join the fanpage so you can find out more about future contests and also, check out the 10 lucky finalists!

p/s: Every girl should wear cosmetic lenses unless they are born with strikingly coloured/hugeass irises. It makes such an improvement to looks!

A Monfae A Day!

Advertorial

More ideas of what to get for friends and family for Xmas!

WATCHES!!

Monfae is a newly set up local company selling many designs of affordable watches ranging from $39 to $59 only!!


Their timepieces are all internally designed and comes with a 2 year warranty and are water resistant!

Their quality is guaranteed to be good!

Many watches nowadays either range from $100 and up from places like City Chain or are of the $10 push cart variety.

Some of us want to be able to match our daily outfits with suitable watches, but $100 seems to much to pay for, and the $10 sort rusts and spoils after like 2 weeks or something.

But at $39 to $59, these fashionable watches can also double up as accessories!

So that's where Monfae comes in... =)


Went to their grand opening last week:






The watches are all displayed uniquely in the sense that you can try on any piece you want! Not behind glass cabinets for display only.



From blinged up dressy watches to casual ones...



With straps of your choice (so many!) and a lovely box with ribbon with every purchase so your watch is "gift-ready"!

All the straps are durable and made of real leather.



And here I am posing with a Monfae timepiece!


Best thing about Monfae is... If you spend $50 and above, you get a membership card which entitles you to 20% off the next time you go there!

Shiok right? With 20% off a $30 watch becomes $24 only!

Here are the 4 designs Monfae sponsored me:



PINK - with a chio rose gold frame...



BROWN
- with diamantes shattered all over!



RED - Gems to tell the time



AND BLACK! With matching black Swarovski crystals.




Used the watches to match 4 different looks!

Camwhoring time!



Pink and Fluffy








Earth shades






Vivid Red







Mysterious Black






Which look is your favourite?



Monfae is located in Plaza Singapura, 2nd floor.

So do go there and have a look - support local brands!!!!!!

Easy peasy shopping!

Advertorial

I don't know about you guys, but it has been like YEARS since I last did Xmas shopping.

As I grow older and older, I start to realise that my patience for squeezing through sweaty crowds is waning.

It's just... Shopping is supposed to be fun, and on top of having to...

1) Decide what to get for people (annoying if you don't know what they want)

2) Hunt it down (annoying if only very few places sell it)

3) Find the place with the best price for it... (Just annoying in general)...



You still have to go through the hassle of taking time out of your schedule to do it!

But boh pian, still have to do it, right?


So what's the simplest and most efficient way to get it done?


VIA INTERNET SHOPPING!!


International websites take weeks to deliver, and that might be a bit rushed for Xmas... If you are busy or plain hate shopping, here's a solution for you!

You can shop here:




Instead of going out to shop, shopping now comes to the comfort of your own home!!

If you don't like websites, there are also other methods of shopping with Shop@Postt!



Here's the Shop@Post catalog that I received in my mailbox! Did any of you get it too?



With a little pop up tree...



And many products for you to choose from... With categories like Fashion, Electronics and even Computer software, I'm sure you can find the appropriate gift for friends, family and colleagues.


Besides their website and catalog, you can also shop via:

- any Post Office

- on S.A.M machines everywhere and

- through the enclosed mail order form!






And Xmas came early for me!!!!! Here's some of the stuff I got from Shop@Post:


Mad chio bling bling Marc Ecko watch for Mike!



Marc Ecko watches are really popular and many celebrities wear them coz they are so attention grabbing!



Comes with an interchangeable bezel for dressed down days too!





And here he is, modeling the watch! Look like watch model not! LOLLL




Tadah! Wanna get this for your boyfriend, brother, son, or yourself? Only $328... Discounted! Usual price of $469.





As for me... GUESS WATCHES!!


Everybody loves Guess watches, coz they are so pretty!! Actually I really started obsessing about them since Paris Hilton started endorsing them a few years ago...






CHIO WATCHES!!


I already have 3 Guess watches at home and now I have another 3 to add to my collection, thanks to vPOSTt!



Behold:





Guess bangle watches in black and white.

The word 'GUESS' is printed around it. How very MOD!



Loves!



And of course, in a monochrome picture!



One more!



I'm wearing them both at once!! :D

Only $78 each, lowered from the usual price of $188. Good deal!


CLICK TO BUY: BLACK / WHITE



And one more gold Guess watch to add to my collection!




Ok the bling bracelet and heart bangle are - I've always wanted to say this - MODEL'S OWN. LOL!

(BTW I know the heart bracelet is chio but I bought it in USA like 3 years back so confirm now no longer selling, so don't ask me!)






With "G" stamped all around the strap! This watch is pretty flexible... Casual enough for work, and glams up well!

$189, usual price of $218!




Enjoy FREE delivery when you purchase items worth $200 and above!


Have fun shopping you guys!!

The Battle Against the Double Chin

Advertorial

After getting a nose job, the thing I hated the most about my face had to be my chin and neck.

I know you guys are probably thinking I am being ludicrous, but most of the pictures you see on this blog are majorly photoshopped anyway! You have no idea how much I have to push my jaw in with liquify (photoshop tool)!!!!!!!

And not to mention my stupid fatass neck. What a stupid area to get fats in!

Anyway, double chins and neck fats are notoriously hard to get rid of. I remembered asking Dr Martin Huang how he would suggest I get a bloody slender neck, and he gave me loads of options but all of them sounded rather complicated (and expensive)!

He also suggested perhaps a chin implant, but...


1) I don't wanna end up looking like THIS FREAK:

Blergh!

And 2) I HAVE A CHIN!!! I do! It's just that it's hidden under fats!

So you can imagine I was really quite excited when I was given a new product to try:



THE FACE BRA!!!!!!!!!!



Here's Yufit's hot face shaper bra!


And their Age and Lock neck and chin face bra...

The difference between the two products is that one (the hot one) is meant to burn fats while the other moisturises and reduces wrinkles!


And both do facial slimming, lifting up of face and reducing double chin!!


I think it's really cool that people are finally coming up with products meant for the chin and neck, which are so often neglected and yet as important as the face!




A box of the Hot face bra for $35 with 7 packets inside.


Age-lock with 14 masks altogether in one box.



The Hot face bra claims to be "self-heating".
Does it really work?

And what exactly is a "FACE BRA"??

I'm going to try it on now!!



Here's the mask stretched out.



Hang both ends on your ears!!

And the suspicious liquid on my shin was dripped from the mask. -_-


And I have it on!


SHOCKINGLY enough, after about 5 mins of having the face bra on, it started to heat up!!

And I mean REALLY heat up!!

I don't know what magical ingredient is in there but if it's so hot it's surely burning SOMETHING right??

AND you won't believe this but it continues being hot for the next 40 mins! I mean hot is in "spicy" hot, not temperature hot btw.


Anyway I had to wait for 30 - 40 minutes while having the mask on so while waiting, I check out the other products Lush Group sent me!




Sunscreen, 2 bb creams, and 2 foundations!!


And check out Elishacoy's luscious masks and cleanser!!

Of all the products they sent me, my favourite is...





The Milk Cacao Black Sugar Scrub!!!!


It looks all brownish and gross here but I assure you that it's super luxurious!!!!!!!


I'm madly in love with it!

The scrub smells SO FREAKING GOOD! The smooth brown gel just glides onto your skin and it smells like rich chocolate with a strong caramel scent...

I was so freaking tempted to taste it but managed to stop myself...

When you put it on your skin, you can feel the sugar grains... And as you rub and exfoliate, the grains disappear!

Not only does your skin become super soft afterwards, you can also see how u look like tan coz the gel is dark brown!! LOL... So fun.


I also like their cleanser btw. It's pretty good! Not too dry after using and quite foamy.

Also, Elishacoy’s product are all made from organic and botanical ingredients which are suitable for sensitive skin!!



Ok after 40 mins of the hot face bra...


HERE ARE THE RESULTS!!!

BEFORE, with no photoshop on chin/jawline


AFTER!! (With Pumpkin climbing on my lap)


It's a bit hard to tell the difference so here are the before and after side by side:


What do you think? Got difference???




Here's another Before and After photo I took about 1 month ago when I first got the product...

I think the slimming is more apparent here!


I mean obviously the difference is not going to be freaking remarkably different. After all, I only tried the mask twice, and it's not magic!


I can definitely feel my skin tighten though. Even if it doesn't slim down your face or your face is slim enough, it is still useful to prevent wrinkles and moisturize!




So here I am also doing the Age and Lock mask on my neck!!! :D :D :D It makes me look like I have a stiff collar. LOL!!


Can't believe I showed you all my non-photoshopped jawline!! Utterly flabby and gross!!


Here's the photoshopped one. I insist.



Definitely more effective than the face bra but too bad it can't be used in real life. Boo!!!!!

Last chio pic!



Yufit's face shaper bra and Age-Lock Cold face shaper bra cost $35 each and are available at all SASA cosmetic stores and John Little departmental stores.

Elishacoy's products are available at all John Little departmental stores. Have fun shopping!
