Try a new hairstyle!

Advertorial

The holidays are coming up!! This is the time of the year when we get invited to loads of parties and everyone is trying to look their best.

Us girls always want to doll up for Xmas/NYE and thus we put on new clothes and shows and put on extra makeup... But it is true that most of us cannot be bothered to do much to our hair!


This was how my hair looked like last Xmas... I just curled it and let it be. And that's what I do most of the time anyway. It's nice... but so boring!

It's time to...


"What should I do with you for Xmas this year?"


If you are thinking of a new hairstyle for the holidays, fret not! Liese just came up with a new Lookbook filled with easy-to-do hairstyles just for Xmas!



Liese teamed with Tokyo's top hair designer Takahisa Okamura to come up with a series of hairstyles for the Xmas season.

Check out the "Making of" video here with the chio Japanese models!



And this is the style I chose:



It looks so cute on the model, Yu Hirukawa, I just had to do it on myself too! I'd show you guys how, it's really simple!

Let's start:



Spray some Liese Juicy Shower on those strands! The Juicy shower instantly boosts the moisture level of your hair and smoothens out frizz and makes your hair silky soft so it's easier to style.



It smells really nice too - great for if you want to meet someone new before the year ends!



Comb through your hair to get rid of the kinks



Take out two thick clusters of hair from your hair parting and separate the rest
by putting them behind your shoulders


Now for some Liese Designing Jelly


The Designing Jelly is special because it does not have the sticky wax feeling or stiff gel look!
The texture is watery therefore spreads easily and I was surprised to find that it is really not sticky! Amazing! For this style you don't need a very strong wax/gel either, just as extra security in case you want to dance the night away. :)

Btw all of Liese's styling products are numbered according to their holding power so the bigger the number the stronger the holding power. For this look I chose Designing Jelly in 04 Move and Flow because I want to create a pouf on my hair later.




Apply the Designing Jelly then tie a super high ponytail. Create a loop like this instead of pulling the hair ends out!



Fan out the hair and secure with loads of bobby pins!

For girls with shorter hair you can still create a big pouf, just curl your hair first!



Curl the strands around your face.


Last step... Select either a giant bow or flower accessory to pin onto your hair.

FINISHED!

Jessie is one of my favourite characters in Toy Story! She's always so chipper and brave and loyal to her friends... Plus she and Spanish Buzz are just so adorable together! I like how the hood area is sort of special, makes it look like I'm wearing a cape.


The hot pink tunic (long enough as a dress for me) totally matches my Lotso huggin' bear (Bossini gave this to me as a pressie, it's not available for sale in their stores) and my pink hair!


And he smells like strawberries! ♥


Me wearing the Oversized Pullover with Muffler

A super unique piece! Only 20 are available for sale in Singapore. *feels special*

Ready for Bed as Soon as Possible

Advertorial



This...

Is how my face usually looks like after I put makeup on (plus photoshop). Foundation, mascara, eyeliner, eyeshadow, falsies, eyelid sticker, lipstick and lipgloss. All the works!

I enjoy putting makeup on but the taking off is usually more troublesome. There is always a balance to strike - whatever makeup removal is thorough is probably also time-consuming and harsh on your skin or leaves it feeling oily!

If you are looking for a makeup remover more suited for you, here's something you can try:


Bifesta used to be called Cleansing Express, as many of you probably know as they are a very popular brand of makeup remover from Japan. It is actually Japan's no. 1 water based makeup remover series.

And yes, Bifesta ONLY sells makeup removers! Talk about specialized!



And here's all of their makeup removers in a row!! What's so special about them?

Bifesta is all about WATER!

Most people believe that water based makeup removers are less powerful than their oil-based counterparts, but oil based removers leave an uncomfortable residue and require an additional step of cleansing which strips moisture! The best of both worlds is of course a powerful water based makeup remover!

I've mostly being using oil removers. However, there are days which I feel my skin already feels very oily so water is a more suitable choice for those days!

And Bifesta is really gentle but powerful! Kaykay came over, saw my removers and told me that she has always been using Bifesta coz it is the "fastest" remover in the market. Minimum amount of wipes and she can get into bed after a tired, long day! No wonder their slogan is "Ready for bed as soon as possible"!

And I can personally vouch that the removers leave no sticky or oily residue, just a velvety feel. No need for washing your face with facial wash afterwards - if you really want to, just rinse with some water. :D

But the BEST part?



THERE IS A BIFESTA FOR EVERY SKIN TYPE!!





Each remover contains different ingredients so as to ensure the best skincare for you.

Moist: For dry skin - ceramide infused for moisturization.

Sebum: For oily skin - With green tea extract to tighten pores.

Bright Up: For dull skin - With saxifrage extract for skin brightening

Agecare: For more mature skin - with coenzyme Q10

I had a hard time choosing but in the end I decided Bright Up was my favourite as it can also remove dead skin cells and improve skin's luminosity!





Simple pumping onto a cotton pad



Hold it on your face for a bit and wipe off...



One easy swipe and my eye makeup gone!!

Another AMAZING thing about Bifesta?

Normally when you wipe once with a cotton pad the pad gets dirty and if you use that same pad to wipe another part of your face that face gets stained, right? But with their makeup remover, it simply doesn't happen! The remover catches on to the impurities, trapping them on the cotton pad so even with multiple wipes with the same pad you still get clean!

I even removed my false eyelashes without causing damage to my real or false lashes. You can even use Bifesta to clean off the residue glue on the lash band without misshaping your falsies coz its water-based and non-sticky.


Velvety clean :)


For ultra obstinate makeup, Bifesta also has a Eye Makeup Remover and it has super strong removal strength:



I've heard testimonials that this remover is super strong even on the most waterproof mascaras.



Remember to shake it before use! :D
Tested it on my most stubborn eyeliners and mascaras - it works very amazingly well.

And lastly if you wear lighter makeup, Bifesta also has an option for you!

Do you sometimes step into the shower after a day out and turned on the water only to remember you have not removed your makeup? It happened to me many times before, especially when I only have a bit of blusher or foundation on!

In that case it is best to have a bottle of Bifesta's Cleansing Liquid in the shower with you!



With one step you remove makeup and cleanse without stripping away your skin's moisture. :)

All Bifesta removers have plus-ion Hyaluronic acid and vitamins B and E to give to your skin.
