Pic is clickable!

How many of us girls have wished for slimmer, more toned legs? I have, which is why in the above photo my legs are edited to death hahaha!

Legs do all our walking for us all day long...

and we subject them to cruel shoes...

Like these... That arch them uncomfortably... Yet all the TLC we give to our feet? Maybe some moisturizing or the occasional reflexology or pedicure session. Compared to our face, legs get so little attention from us!

I know, in order to get awesome legs so much work must be done.

Exercising, dieting, getting a golden tan on them... Who has the time and energy? I don't even know what exercises there are to tone legs.

Coupled with the fact that a lot of food we eat have high salt content, which causes bloating and swollen legs... Just give up and let the legs remain 'meh'.

But what if there is a product that can help increase your blood circulation, reduce water retention and at the same time tone and slim your legs... ALL WHILE YOU DO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING?!

YES REALLY!!!

Introducing Scholl's latest genius idea - Medi Qtto Compression Hosiery!

What is it? These compression stockings with its patented partial pressure technology, will create a graduated compression structure to make your legs look AND feel better... All while you are sleeping peacefully! Hurray for no exercise! :p

It is really simple... All you have to do is to put them on before going to bed.

How I pretend to put stockings on

How I actually look putting stockings on lol

(captured by camera accidentally)

Gotta love these Scholl sleeping stockings!! Why?

1) The colours are so pretty! Lilac and milky pink! Love!

2) It actually warms up your legs in the aircon room, which feels snuggly!

3) Now when you put moisturizer on your legs and wear the stockings, it seals the moisturizer close to your skin instead of rubbing off on the sheets. Ok I don't know if this is true but I just feel it rubs off, ok!

4) Your partner will LOVE you wearing these coz they look so cute! Men love thigh high socks. :D

5) I like how there is a hole at the toes, so that your toes won't sweat into the stockings, then don't need to wash that frequently. :X

6) Ok, also the medical stuff I said above, lol

If your concern is not only legs but also your hips/butt, then you can instead try the Compression Leggings, which go up to the waist!!!!

As you can see the stockings also come in nude for day usage!! WOAH!

Very kiasu I shall wear these all the time - sleeping and day - so I can get the ultimate slimmest legs MUAHAHAHA. In the day I can look like the Queen of England coz she is never seen without nude stockings. How terribly crass of everyone else to show their bare (untoned and swollen) legs!

Scholl Medi Qtto Compression Hoistery are Japan's no.1 selling compression stockings, selling more than 10,000 a day. If you wish to give them a try, here are the prices:

Scholl Compression Long - $46.90

Scholl Compression Leggings - $ 56.90

Scholl Compression Out Sheer Stocking - $ 20.90

Available at Watsons and Guardian.

You are a miser and don't want to pay money? Never mind, Scholl's giving out five pairs of Sleeping Stockings for FREE!! FREE I SAY!

Just leave a comment and tell me why you desperately need the Sleeping Stockings and five winners will be chosen. The winners will be announced on Nuffnang and also on Scholl's facebook page so remember to LIKE them here:

I shall leave you with a photo of me and my foot:

I love Juicy Skin!

Tell you all something super stupid ok? The reason why the above pic is so teal themed is because I thought I wanted to start this advert by saying "I feel like a mermaid because I'm so hydrated" then I realised it is very lame LOLOL.

So that's just a picture where I happen to be wearing blue-green stuff.

Today I'd be reviewing a new line of skincare from Za!!

I already love it before using it because...

The products are the most gorgeous shade of pearly milky pink! :D Would look so good on any vanity.

Say hello to Za's new skincare range - Za Total Hydration!

This range is specially formulated for ladies in their 20s (which, ahem, includes me even though I'm almost out of there).

Actually I remember when I was a teenager and I started to get zits, my mom told me to start using facial cleansers, and she also bought me a milk moisturizer.

When I was younger I never ever felt the need to moisturize, mostly coz I didn't sleep with the aircon on. My face was just super oily all the time - I could soak up 1 and a half of those rubbery facial blotters! As such, when I put on oil based moisturizers, the oiliness actually became worse and made me grow more zits. I swore never to use moisturizers again.

Of course as I grew older my skin got drier and drier and I had to eat my words. In fact, nowadays if i don't moisturize straightaway after a shower, my skin actually HURTS. I'm not sure if this is a common thing but thanks a lot skin, way to remind me that I'm old!!

My point is, younger people have different skin, and they should be using something age appropriate and not just whatever mom's using. :)

Younger girls face certain problems...

You may think being young mean you can't have dry skin.... Don't be mistaken like I was, just because your skin is oily doesn't mean it isn't dry!

In fact, the solution to excession sebum and enlarged pores is to MOISTURIZE!

But what sort of moisturizer? That's the question.

May I suggest you try the Za Total Hydration range's star product?

The Amino Mineral Gel!

The key ingredients in the range - amino mineral gel, vitamin b derivative, prism enhancer, sebum holding powder, and hyaluronic acid!

I love this gel and I'd recommend it especially to teens!

This provides moisture fix in 10 seconds flat!

Late for work/school in the mornings? NO PROBLEM!

And it's super lightweight. The texture is velvety and absorbs very easily, leaving no oily residue.

Remember how I said I hated my milk moisturizer when I was younger? I didn't like the oily, sticky feeling on my face after application! This gel leaves no residue and is totally smooth after application. It doesn't leave your face looking shiny/oily either.

The texture

I never liked putting heavy creams on my face before I apply makeup because I feel it cakes up my foundation. This gel won't! You practically cannot feel anything on your face except that it won't be dry anymore. Also solves problems such as conspicuous pores!

The packaging is also awesomesauce. No stupid tubs and it's so flat and light you can just throw it into your bag for midday hydrating sessions!

PLUS IT SMELLS SUPER NICE AND ONLY COSTS $10.90!

Another product I like in the range is the Energy Mist.

Especially recommended for office ladies because office aircons are always so cold and so bad for your skin!! But when you have makeup on, how do you hydrate?

With a mist. :D

I never used to like mists because I always thought it would ruin my makeup. The Za girls urged me to give it a try, saying it won't, so I did. Really doesn't affect makeup lol... The nozzle is specially created to give a very very fine mist so you won't get big water droplets on your face.

Skin feels so nice afterwards!

You don't only have to use it after makeup. Even with a fresh face, you can spray on to moisturize if you are in a rush or if your hands are dirty!

The mist refreshes tired skin, absorbs greasiness and hydrates - as a bonus it makes you smell nice too! Best used after a trip to the smoke-filled hawker centre for lunch.

Also useful for the ladies in their 20s...

The Blemish Care Essence!

Comes in handy if you get occasional pimples.

Fight zits! This Essence prevents recurring blemishes and sooths your skin to prevent inflammation. Also exfoliates excess dead skin cells and moisturizes at the same time! At $9.90, worth it to give it a try if you have acne.

If like me, you are at the wrong end of the 20s or your skin is naturally just very dry, a cream moisturizer would work better for you.

You can try the Deep Moist Cream!

With the same awesome packaging as the Amino Mineral Gel, this moisturizer nourishes the skin intensely while absorbing excess sebum. Same price too at $10.90. It would be awesome for flights because there is like zero moisture in the air in airplanes. -_-

I love the Foamy Cleanser too! It's very mild and leaves the skin with a very clean feeling without that squeaky dryness.

It also smells very sweet! I'm very partial to products that smell nice. :p

If you have tried the Amino Mineral Gel and liked it, you can also invest in the Milky Moisturizer!

I find it quite similar to the Amino Mineral Gel except it's a wee bit heavier and more suitable for night use. Comes in a big bottle so it will last you a LONG time! Best part? Not in a tub either! :D

I'm a happy girl with my Za!

Want to know more? Check out Za's facebook page here:

And guess what?

If you purchase the Amino Mineral Gel you can also get a 30ml cleanser for FREE!!!!!!!!!

Ending this post with a picture of me and Igloo. She's lucky she doesn't need to be moisturized! Have fun shopping! :D

One Drop Locks Up An Ocean

2011-12-20T08:56:00.001-08:00

Advertorial

Today my advertorial will be on a product series that is already super well-loved!! Perhaps you already know what it is from the title?

Hint: It's for skin and will make your skin all bouncy and QQ!!

And since one drop locks up an ocean... It is also super hydrating...

That's right it's HADA LABO!!

Hada Labo arrived in Singapore just last year but it's already super popular... The SHA Hydrating Lotion (that's what we Singaporeans know as toner) is the no. 1 face lotion in Japan!

The star ingredient is their Super Hyaluronic Acid which can retain 12 litres of water with 1g, giving you bouncy awesome skin!

Also love that the Hada Labo skincare philosophy is PERFECT X SIMPLE - all unnecessary additives such as colourants and fragrance are omitted, leaving only the good stuff to ensure maximum effectiveness.

And guess what? I've actually been a Hada Labo user since my Tokyo trip with Cheesie in 2010! She also did an advert for them and I saw Hada Labo in a store and asked her, "Eh, really good not?" She said a resounding YES! and I've been using their moisturizer ever since.

And look at the Hada Labo products I got!! *lucky*

I know they look confusing coz of all the Japanese text, so I wrote out the functions of each one.

Their stellar product has the words there proudly proclaiming that 1 is sold every 4 seconds in Japan. I'm telling you, this is an amazing statistic because the Japan market for skincare is crazy saturated! Whenever you see a product that says "xx sold every xx second in Japan" JUST GRAB AND BUY! Confirm good one!

The toner has a watery but gel-like texture that really quenches your skin's thirst and won't dry skin like some toners do. No smell either.

One drop locks up an ocean... So LOCK UP ALL THE OCEANS!! Yes I'm aware my picture says "unlock" wtf I got mistaken when I photoshopped it. (And that's a 9gag reference)

Check it out... On the left my sponsored product, on the right my own limited edition Minnie Hada Labo lotion bought in Otaru! YOU JELLY?? I wish Singapore has these pretty things sigh... At least we can still buy boring version Hada Labo. LOL

Their essence is also very popular, winning Women's Weekly and Her World beauty awards in 2011.

Texture is firmer than the lotion... I love this! Once it hits the skin you can feel it being absorbed. And it leaves a velvety texture!

Their Hydrating Milk (moisturizer) is one of my FAVOURITE skincare products. I love how hydrating it really is and it spreads easily and doesn't cause me any pimples like some of the more heavy oil-based moisturizers do. AND AND AND THE BEST THING???????

Please look at the picture. It comes in a squeezable bottle NOT A TUB!! You may think this is a very small thing but I really hate digging moisturizers out from tubs. It's so unhygienic to use your fingers and so troublesome to use a scoop. I love how convenient this is. GOOD JOB ON THE DESIGN!

Here's the milky texture. That small amount is enough for the whole face, believe it or not.

If you don't like the Hydrating Milk Hada Labo also came up with a SHA Hydrating Cream... The cream is light and non-greasy and reduces fine lines and wrinkles. WANT!!

Found another product I love. Their Hydrating Face Wash!! I don't know why and how but a very small dollop lathers sooooo much foam and as promised, not drying! Just clean. ♥

Love my Hada Labo!

Are you thinking of giving Hada Labo a try but you don't wish to part with your money? NO WORRIES PLEASE THEY ARE GIVING IT OUT FREE!!! FOR REAL!!

Click HERE to go to their facebook page and just hit on Like to get a free sample!

Additionally, Hada Labo is giving out 31 days of Rewards this whole month! Just go to their facebook and for every single day for 31 days they will pick a lucky fan to win a daily prize. It could be bags worth $200 or dining vouchers worth $100 or Hada Labo products!!

Try a new hairstyle!

2011-11-30T13:58:00.000-08:00

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!

What do you girls think?

I'd definitely be recreating this look for my next romantic date with Mike. :D

If you are interested in creating the other looks please check out Liese's facebook page at http://facebook.com/LieseSG.

Liese is also giving away their most popular products! Just go to their Facebook page and write on their wall which is your favourite Liese styling/treatment product and you might win! 5 sets to be given away!

Good luck!

And he smells like strawberries! ♥

Ready for Bed as Soon as Possible

2011-11-17T15:40:00.000-08:00

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!

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.

Advertorial

I've got good news for girls who want to make their skin as soft and as luscious as can be!

Remember my previous advertorial for Love More?

Now they have sent me MORE awesome skincare products to try! Skincare junkies rejoice!

The Love More Aqua Moisturising Series:

These are all featured and recommended on popular Taiwanese beauty show 女人我最大!

As the name suggests, the uniqueness of the Love More Aqua Moisturizing Series is moisture, moisture, moisture!

The result? Flawless transparent skin + 100% moisturized skin + sebum balance.

Keeping skin moisturized is super important especially when a lot of us spend most of our day in the aircon!! When skin is dried out, you not only get wrinkles and age faster, your skin also turns oily which can lead to acne.

Step 1: Love More 24hr moisturizing Aqua Pump

Also known as the toner! (In picture, the tallest bottle)

Most toners in the market don't bother much with moisture level but the Aqua Pump does! The texture is watery and not drying like most other toners and with the extra moisturising effect, your subsequent skincare products can maximize their benefits.

And I love it because it smells so awesome, like fresh cold cucumber + lilies! :D

Plus the design comes in a pump, which is super convenient.

Step 2: Love More 24hr Moisturizing Aqua Serum

Here's the texture of the serum!!

The Aqua Serum comes with patented AQUAFILL and professional whitening compound with 3 times more concentration than the traditional essence. Even using a small amount can achieve long term retaining of moisture in the skin, and keep the innermost layer of the skin quenched with moisture!

Step 3: Love More Aqua Masks

Blue: Love More Aqua Cucumber Extract and Ceramide Moisturising Mask

Pink: Love More Aqua Damascus Rose and Arbutin Whitening Mask

I love both these masks!!!!!

Both the masks contain awesome ingredients.

The blue Moisturising Mask has cucumber extract, ceramide and oligomer, helping to do advanced moisturizing for your skin.

The pink Whitening Mask, which I LOVE because it smells like my favourite roses, contain Rose damascena flower, Alpha arbutin, camomilla recutita and Malachite Extract. I know most of those things sound foreign but they are all good!!

Helps to whiten skin, making it noticeably smoother and softer!

I don't know if you noticed from the picture but the special thing about these masks is how tightly they are sticking to my skin! Usually the material for masks is a little thicker and I feel they leave a distance between my skin and the mask but for the Aqua masks they are designed to fit perfectly with a special natural silk cotton.

It fits the skin tightly without leaving any space which means it is able to moisturize skin more effectively. :D When peeling out the mask I even accidentally tore it. It's super delicate!

After using the masks I really felt my skin become instantly baby soft, fairer, and brighter!

(Yes I'm putting the mask with makeup on. It's for DEMOSTRATIVE purposes ok!)

Step 4: Love More 24hr Moisturizing Aqua Brulee

Love this moisturiser!

Water based which means it isn't sticky and oily after application. Smells fantastic so you can climb into bed with your partner and know you smell awesome.

The Aqua Brulee is ultra moisturizing, providing moisture to all layers of the skin. If sleeping with the air con has dulled your skin, it's time to give this a try!

Besides the Aqua series they also gave me some other products and I love this:

Sexy Look Strawberry Black Head Pore Set!

If you recalled in my previous advert I had the kiwi version of this and now they came up with STRAWBERRY!!

Love, love, love this because not only do you get rid of blackheads, it is also super fun to peel off the mask... and the smell is just so... DELICIOUS!!!!!!!! ♥

The whole time the mask is on your face so you just keep smelling the strawberries. How awesome!! Mike kissed me on the nose after I did the mask and I asked "What do I smell like?" He said, "Strawberries!! WHY?? Why do you smell like strawberries?"

LOL

And are you ready for cuteness??

A freaking HELLO KITTY MASK!!

Hot pink: Sexy Look Moisturising and Whitening Rose Mask

Baby pink: Sexy Look Hyaluronic Acid Whitening and Moisturising Mask

So cute right?? Perfect for traveling or sleepovers with girlfriends!

AND MORE!!!!!

CAN YOU SAY KAWAII??

And wait, these 3 Hello Kitty masks are special! They are 3D masks which means they have hooks for your ears! The end result is a mask super tight around your face and under your neck, giving a lifting effect.

White: Sexy Look Brightening and Firming White Rose Double Lifting Mask

SMELLS LIKE ROSES!!!

Purple: Sexy Look Moisturising Sensitive Amethyst Double Lifting Mask

SMELLS LIKE RED WINE AND GRAPE!!

Pink: Sexy Look Ultra Moisturizing Pink Sakura Double Lifting Mask

SMELLS LIKE SAKURA AND STRAWBERRIES!! *faints*

One thing Singaporeans love complaining about is that Singapore is BORING.

Well Singapore is actually not boring but loads of activities cost money and we are not known to be particularly generous when it comes to parting with our cash!!

And that's why if you are looking for some awesome fun that delivers more than what you paid for, you can check out Deal.com.sg!

Gotta love DEAL.com.sg coz they give such crazy good discounts!! I think I will never ever book holidays/facials/you-name-it-services any other way again.

One of the best things about the site is when you are surfing it, even if you don't spend any money, just looking at the deals gives you so many ideas on what you can do with your free time.

For example...

How about going on a first date at Sentosa with the birds, dolphins, butterflies and fishes? $35 very affordable leh can spend one whole day there!!

Or be kiasu and make sure your Halloween is going to be fantastic and way above others? (Geddit? Coz it's on the flyer?)

Bored moms can bring their kids to bake and decorate cupcakes... This looks so fun!

Bored of how your cat looks? Why not shave him into a lion?

LOL!!

Anyway from DEAL.com.sg I bought a deal for a spa treatment at Eden Spa with my mom.

Here's what my deal says:

87% off 100 Minutes Clarins Slimming and Contouring Treatment + HerbalDetox Footbath + Lymphatic Drainage Head and Face Detox Massage @ Eden Spa at Purvis. Only $48 instead of $360

$48 is so worth it!! :D

On the cab on the way there. Eden Spa is at Purvis street, super convenient.

Just being in the clean, relaxed atmosphere of the spa made me happy already!

All sorts of aromatic scents

Mummy and I

Momo happily choosing her preferred treatment. She gets to choose between:

Triplex BodySculpt: 3-in-1 therapy that uses slimming massage techniques on the waist, hip and thigh; Stress-relieving and pampering massage on the rest of the body.
Waist-Shaper + Hip and Thigh Lift Combi: Best selling intensive treatments that target the waist, tummy, hip and thigh; Releases excess fats, & reduces stubborn cellulite.
Swedish Destress Massage: Improves blood circulation, increase flexibility, reduces muscle tension and aches; Deeply relaxing and pampering experience.

I chose the Swedish destressing massage and she chose the waist-shaper!

And check this out:

Soooooooooo many Clarins products!

The reason why I like Eden Spa is because they are the first and only spa in Singapore to exclusively use Clarins products in their massages and therapies!

Clarins products are quite expensive so it's super worth the $48 especially when I got my body oiled in Clarins' natural plant goodness. :D

As promised my spa treatment started with a relaxing footbath. Had a fun time doing this next to my mom as we gossiped away. :)

After this was the actual massage which was fantastic although I have no pictures of it...

My favourite part of the massage was when I had the 20 minute Lymphatic Drainage Head and Face Detox Massage - OMG I LOVE HEAD MASSAGES!!

So freaking awesome!!

After the massage I took a nice shower at their pretty toilet.

So happy I could spend time with Momo and also treat her to something she really enjoyed. :D

I'm Stripping!

2011-09-22T13:15:00.000-07:00

Advertorial

And it's not what you think it is!

I'm stripping off my falsies!

For the past week I've been going out with only mascara for a change.

Now, falsies have always been a must have for me because they give great impact, are fuss-free, and lasts.

And now we have mascara that will do just all that!

People prefer mascara for loads of reasons. The most common one is that they don't know how to apply falsies. Another is that mascara is not as "exaggerated" a look - perhaps falsies are too dramatic for everyday wear.

If you are a big fan of mascara, now you can try the new mascaras from ZA!! The Impact Lash Mascara comes in 4 different types to suit all your needs!

Wide Eyes

This is my favourite! This mascara contains glossy oil, which gives a lustrous effect to your lashes. The brush is super unique and comes with a extra small jaggy coil with an extrafine pitch comb on the other side, ensuring every single lash gets fanned out and coated, giving you that dolly gyaru innocent look!

The end result is even and beautifully fanned out lashes that is non-clumpy.

Volume

If you have long lashes but too little of them, Volume is the way to go. The Volume-up Wax thickens and defines each and every lash. The brush holds the mascara evenly and is specially designed to fit Asian eyelids perfectly.

Long

And of course everyone wants longer lashes! See the little fibres in the mascara? This helps you to make your lashes become whatever length you want!

Last but not least, Mascara Base.

You can see me applying it here. Prime lashes for maximum volume, length and separating effects while enhancing curl power and the adherence of your mascaras.

I love this base coz not only does it care for our fragile lashes with treatment complex, it has fibres in it to lengthen! :D

I was presented with a "Go Go Kit" by the awesomesauce Za girls with all these new products:

Inside contains all these pretty stuff like Za products, hair accessories, a mirror, and even *gasp* a spanking new Panasonic Lumix GF3 camera for me!! :') Why they so nice one!! ♥♥♥

The girls also told me the secret to achieving gyaru eyes is "layering". The correct order is to apply the base first, wait a while for it to dry, Wide Eyes, Volume, then Long, so here goes:

Applying Wide Eyes. Fanned out lashes!

Look how super long and kawaii!! No photoshop on the lashes at all!

And the end result after I apply a coat of Volume and Long:

TADAH!! I'm loving how my lashes really open up my eyes!

And in case you are wondering, I am using only Za products on my eye make up!
No falsies for me.

Their Ever brows eyebrow pencils have always been a best seller because not only is it rotatable so there is no need to sharpen, the end has a brush so you can even out harshness after defining your brows!

Perfect brows

They come in a variety of colours too to suit all skin tones and hair colours, and my favourite is Honey Brown, which is a light ashy brown colour. Suitable even for people with very light hair.

And my eyeliner? It's the new Liquid Eyeliner from ZA!

Deep jet black colour and it's super long lasting.

No smudging or fading. Waterproof.

The tip is so fine it's ridiculous!

Check out the minute imprint of my Chinese name drawn by the Liquid Eyeliner. LOL

Interested to buy ZA's smashing new products yet?

If yes, why not WIN A PRIZE WHILE DOING SO?

Show you the prize first to entice you:

It is a gorgeous PINK Panasonic Lumix FX 78 camera! The camera even has a cosmetics and touch up function so I'm sure you girls will look gorgeous with it.

Pepper Lunching

2011-09-19T15:14:00.000-07:00

Advertorial

I'm warning you guys... This post is gonna make you super hungry!

As you can guess from the title, I'm gonna be blogging about Pepper Lunch today! I've always made it known that I am a HUGE fan of Pepper Lunch so imagine how happy I was when they invited me down to try their new menu! :D

In case you have no idea what Pepper Lunch is about, the concept is really unique. Chef and inventor Kunio Ichinose wanted to serve quality fast food without hiring a chef. He devised a method using hot metal plates that are heated to 260 Celsius by an electromagnetic cooker. Customers then cook their own food using chopsticks to whatever degree of doneness they want! Not only is it delicious, it's also super fun! I get very excited when it comes to cooking the beansprouts and egg especially. :D

You can see me rave about their Beef Sukiyaki here. For a period of time I was like seriously addicted to it and had to eat it like once a week!

After that they came out with a special item called the "Thick Steak" and it was so good I seriously smsed all my beef lover friends to go give it a try. The thick steak was just like the Pepper Steak but super thick, like a tenderloin! At only $15.90 it was just the most value for money good steak I've ever had. Too bad this item is no longer available but the Pepper Steak and Rib Eye Steak are very, very close.

Do I sound like a crazy Pepper Lunch fan or what? LOL

And some of my tweets about Pepper Lunch: Here, here and here.

I was so overjoyed when an outlet opened in White Sands, really close to my home. T_T

This time round Pepper Lunch came up with 7 completely new items and improved some of their classics! :D

But first...

Me on the cab on the way there. Hahaha...

Special reception!

Section closed just for me and my friends.

Invited Qiuqiu and Kaykay to gorge with me.

Qiu looking excited

Drinks first: I had my favourite Iced Mango Peach and Qiu chose Iced Milo (as did Kaykay).

Qiu with Kaykay

Our first dish:

Guess what this is?

Curry Chicken Pepper Rice with Cheese!

Generous pieces of chicken thigh seasoned with flavourful curry powder and rice with corn and generous slices of cheese atop it... All sizzling on a hot plate.

When the cheese is melted it is HEAVEN! Look at the strands of cheesy goodness.

OMG... The rice is sticky and gooey with a really special curry flavouring. Spicy without being overpowering.

Us girls just attacked the plate till nothing was left.

One more awesome thing about Pepper Lunch? You can feel free to do add-ons to your meal!! Not enough corn/bean sprouts/cabbage/beans? Another serving is just 30c!! Adding cheese? 90c. Adding an egg is $0.50. And guess how much this dish cost? $9.90!

The chunks of chicken were really juicy and perfectly cooked too. :D

In the background you can see the Beef Pepper Rice too. Not gonna blog much about it as I think most of you have possibly tried it before.

The Honey Brown Sauce and Garlic Soy Sauce are the essential sidekicks to Pepper Lunch's food! I love a combination of the two and I love DRENCHING my food with the sauces. By drench I really mean pouring the sauces full blast for about 5 seconds each.

The sauces particularly go well with the steaks, and would you look at that steak?

You can hardly believe that such a large well marbled piece of beef can go for just $16.90 - the Rib Eye Steak is super value for money (comes with mashed potato too).

Tip: The brown cream thing is special margarine. Spread it all over your steak! And also... You can thick skinnedly go to the counter and ask for more margarine if you want. LOL

This is my favourite dish of the evening! Qiu doesn't take beef so Kaykay and I finished it all.

Even cooked medium well the beef is extremely tender and melts in your mouth.

Next up is the Salmon Cream Pasta with Mushroom ($11.90).

A lot of people think Pepper Lunch offers just beef or rice which some people do not eat. But they cannot be more wrong as there is a huge selection of pastas and other different meats!

As I have never had Pepper Lunch's pasta before I had no idea how to cook it so a staff kindly helped us:

That's right you can request for tableside cooking too if you don't trust your own cooking skills!

The right way to cook this dish is to toss the pasta, salmon and mushroom till they are cooked, then...

Pour the cream sauce in.

This is actually Qiu's favourite! She loves the cream sauce being not too "jelat" (overpowering) and the abundant mushrooms. LOL

Next up is my favourite (tied with Rib Eye) Wagyu Sukiyaki with Udon:

At $13.90 this dish sure contains a lot of yummy stuff!! On the hot plate are chunks of fine marbled beef that melts in your mouth, cabbage and onion slices, an egg, udon, tofu, mushrooms and beans.

I was told that this dish is "improved" and the sauce is changed. I was really apprehensive because seriously I liked it fine the way it was.

But guess what? It's actually nicer now wtf!! They somehow made the sauce a little less salty and more watery. It used to be just a little too thick and strong so now it's perfect!

I cannot describe how much I love the sauce!! After it's cooked together with the cabbage it just has this sweet flavour to it that goes perfectly with a slice of quality beef. MmmmmMmmmm!

The slippery udon quantity also increased so udon lovers would be pleased.

Kaykay and I devouring it. Sipped every last bit of the broth!

New Item: Saba and Chicken! ($14.90)

I thought it was really adventurous of Pepper Lunch to try serving saba as it is not a very "common" fish. However, it's delicious! The saba is a premium grade imported from Norway. Juicy and goes really well with the garlic soy sauce.

The next item is from the new category of "Sizzling Curry Rice". Pepper lunch added 3 curry rice dishes:

Curry Rice with Seafood, with Beef and Hamburg Steak or with Chicken and Mushroom.

We got served the Curry Rice with Seafood! $12.90

Hello big scallop!! You are welcome in my belly!

A lot of people would think the correct way to cook this is to pour the curry in and mix everything up but technically the correct way is to saute the seafood, then pour the curry around the rice. That way you can gauge how much curry you want with each spoonful of rice!

Traditional Japanese curry is sweet and mild but the new trend is to have curries that are tasty and rich with a spicy kick. Combined with the freshly cooked flavour of the seafood this is really quite yummy!

Bursting with food, us girls were served our ice cream desserts...

Five different flavours!! From left:

Kuromitsu (caramel),

Passion Fruit,

Matcha (green tea),

Choco Nuts,

and Goma (sesame).

The passion fruit is a new addition! It offers a much need variety to the available ice creams because it is the only sour, tangy one while the others are sweet. I liked it!

The Matcha used to be the worst among the ice creams when there were only 3 flavours available (other 2 being goma and kuromitsu). However, it is now improved and I can safely say it is putting up a good fight!! Kaykay's favourite is the matcha! Very refreshing and clean-tasting.

My personal favourite is either the Kuromitsu (also this is Qiu's favourite) or the Goma!!

Whenever I have my Goma I mix it up like this and it is sooooo delicious!! Looks cool too right? :D

Feeling like some Pepper Lunch?

Want it even cheaper than usual? Very simple!

Just click "Like" on Pepper Lunch's facebook page and print out the relevant voucher, or store it in your phone!!

Have fun cooking and eating!

Want to know the secret behind Japanese ladies' bouncy, porcelain skin?

I bet most of you already know that causing stress on your skin causes premature wrinkles!

Yet I never knew that Cleansing, which is one of the essential steps of skincare, causes the most stress of all!

The Japanese girls use patting motions instead of harsh wiping when they are toning, and during the application of moisturiser, they use their middle and fourth finger to pat the moisturiser in.

I've heard of these two tips before, but what they do for cleansing really surprised me:

Know what this is?

Me neither. It's a foaming net! This foaming net creates foam from normal facial wash. The end result is the fluffy foam that minimizes stress on the skin, and cleaner skin with the finer bubbles.

This extra step is of course really a hassle! As it is we girls are so busy with work and school... No thanks for having to use the silly foaming net!

And here's Biore Marshmallow Whip Facial Wash to the rescue!

Their magical formula creates instant quality foam with just one PUMP! Talk about easy!

Tadah!

The ideal foam is consistent...
It is dense and won't drip even when flipped upside down
Smooth and bouncy
With very small bubbles!

Biore Marshmallow Whip Facial Wash also contains collagen and is moisturizing.

The ultra fine foam is made up of bubbles that are even smaller than pores!

Of course, smaller bubbles means better and more thorough cleaning.

Let's put Biore Marshmallow Whip Facial Wash to the test!

Can it create the ideal foam?

Doesn't drip and is super dense!

Fluffy and bouncy!

Special non-drip formula!

Makes your skin feel so clean and refreshed :D

And here's my verdict after use:

I've only tried one other brand of foaming facial wash before and I hated it. The foam that came out of the bottle is not dense at all (big bubbles) and dissolved into a wimpy weak solution after I put it on my face. So when I received my Marshmallow Whip, I expected it to be the same but I was very pleasantly surprised!

After rubbing on the foam for a bit, instead of dissolving into a water-like substance the foam became a thick, creamy... eh... cream! It spreads very well and feels super nice when you are doing a gentle rubbing motion! Go and try!

The end result was super clean skin! ♥

I love it that Biore has refill packs! Save the Earth and save money!

To good skin!

I am angry that I only know at age 27 that using normal facial wash causes stress on skin! Why didn't anyone tell me before?! :[

Bored? Wanna play a game?

You can go to Marshmallow.com.sg to give Biore Marshmallow Whip Facial Wash's new facebook game a try!

It is really fun and you get to win some awesome prizes so why not? :D

Harajuku street style

Advertorial

Today's post will be full of pictures!! :D

And I love the topic because it is about Japanese fashion, which I ADORE!! ♥♥

In recent years I've found my fashion calling and Japanese trends have affected the way I dress and style... My favourite of all the Japanese brands is Liz Lisa of course...

Me in a Liz Lisa shop - heaven!

The Japanese are crazy about their styles. If you ever go to Tokyo you'd understand how much time and effort they put into dolling themselves up. From immaculate hair to nails to shoes to headgear... They all look effortlessly stylish! Not an inch of sloppiness.

And one of these fashion forward places in Tokyo is the famous Harajuku!

Taken when I was in Harajuku

Ok fine the people in this photo are not that stylish but it was 40 degrees out and still the Japanese do their layering thing! Madness.

Not to lose out, Cheesie and I also did our best to blend in:

Enjoying a harajuku crepe. :D

But the sad thing is, most of these awesome Japanese labels are only available in Japan, not Singapore.

WRONG!!

Tangs is bringing Harajuku to Singapore!!

Harajuku Street Style Pop-up Store is gonna be launching on our sunny island, bringing not one but FIFTEEN most fashion forward Japanese brands to Singapore! :D Excited!

And I get to play dress up! Qiuqiu, Cheesie, Typical ben and I were invited to pick from a range of clothes those we like for a photoshoot! Cheesie came over to my place for the photo-taking so here are my pictures (some with her).

Style 1:

Floaty ruffled floral blue top with ruffled high waisted shorts. Very comfortable!

My favourite part of the outfit is the BOOTS...

Thigh high suede boots with a ribbon at the back...

Wedged for maximum comfort. OMG I love them!

Pic stolen from Cheesie's blog. She is wearing my socks and shoes lol

Cheesie is in what she calls an Otona style, meaning adult. The look is usually preppy and vintage-looking, if I'm not wrong.

Style 2:

Autumn tube outfit that can be worn as a dress or as a skirt (if you are tall enough - I am not).

Love the wedges! :)

With Cheesie working an eclectic style

Hope you like these pictures!!

If you want the clothes, be sure to make a trip down to Tangs Orchard!

Mark these dates down:

Level 3 at Playlab: 1st Oct'11 - 2nd Jan'12
Level 4: 1st Oct'11 - 30 Oct'11

Fruity Fruity Lite X 2

2011-08-14T16:40:00.000-07:00

Advertorial

Hello! The reason why this entry is titled "Fruity fruity lite x 2" is coz this is my second advertorial for Fruity Lite!

My first one can be found HERE.

This time I am introducing you guys to Fruity Lite Extra!

So what IS Fruity Lite? It is the no. 1 digestive and old cleansing drink sold in Watsons!

The healthy, refreshing plum-like all natural digestive drink is specially manufactured through advanced scientific methods from high grade hawthorn fruit.

Let me quote my old blog post on what the drink does:

It can help digestion, reduce lipid levels in the body, reduce bad breath and improve blood circulation! It also exhibits potent antioxidant properties.

Not only that, the best thing I like about it is that it cleanses your body of excess oil and encourages bowel movements!

Food is very convenient and delicious is Singapore... But...

They are also often chockful of oil!! After a rich (albeit yummy) meal, we often end up feeling bloated, queasy or even constipated.

With Fruity Lite you can do your best to prevent that from happening with all natural goodness. :)

Inside each box of Fruity Lite are sachets. How awesome?

The sachets can easily be fitted into a purse or pocket. I imagine it would be great for office ladies to bring to their lunch. Substitute your unhealthy drink with Fruity Lite - just mix with water! Much better than sodas and soft drinks.

Fruity Lite Extra even comes with added vitamin C and xylitol, a healthy alternative to sugar and does not contribute to high blood sugar levels. :)

I'm sure another great thing about having less oil in your body - it shows up in your skin! Less zits, less oil seeds and a better complexion. All in a day's work. :D

Want to give it a try?

Tear open a sachet...

Mix with either hot or cold water

This is how it looks like.

Mmmmm...! It tastes like a refreshing mild version of iced lemon/plum tea. Really cleanses your palette and is not too sweet.

Give Fruity Lite drinks a try today!

From 25th of July till 26th August, purchase a big pack of Fruity Lite and get a smaller pack FREE!!!

A box of Huiji Fruity Lite is available for $6.95 and Fruity Lite Extra is available for $7.90 at all major supermarkets, pharmacies and leading medical halls.

It is so affordable... Give it a try and let me know whether it works for you!

After all you know what they say... You are what you eat!

p/s: This advert is for girls only, and I'd be talking about our monthly woes. Men and boys, you have been warned!

Familiar? Periods are such a pain, pun intended!

On average, a woman can lose up to 50% of their daily requirement of iron during each menstrual cycle, and 80% of women suffer from period discomfort every month!

It makes us lethargic and tired, and not to mention when we get cramps, it can get really painful and uncomfortable!

When it is that time of the month, you just want to huddle up in bed with soft covers and do nothing else.

Preferably with our favourite soft toy!

But of course, life goes on even as our periods come. We still need to work or study and do our daily things! We cannot afford to lie in bed all day!

So if you want to huddle, you can huddle up with some ChocoMarvel!

What is ChocoMarvel?

It is a delicious chocolatey drink made with plant extracts and 100% natural ingredients which helps us girls to reduce the discomfort during menstruation and stay energetic and fresh through the day!

This is the first natural menstrual care drink in the market!

ChocoMarvel...

- replenishes iron loss

- helps reduce bloating and tension

- helps improve facial complexion

- if you have bad cases of PMS, it can also help maintain hormone levels, thus reducing irritability and depression!

And on top of all that, it has a rich chocolate taste. Not to worry, it is low fat!

Inside the box is 8 convenient sachets. Can be brought to work, school, or even for travel. You can even leave a box in the office!

So whenever you need relief for period pain or just simply perk-me-up drink, here's what you do:

Prepare a mug with 150ml of hot water.

One sachet of ChocoMarvel

And here's how it looks like before stirring! Looks so yummy!

Here's after stirring!

Just holding a warm mug and feeling the velvety hot chocolate slip down your throat is already somehow comforting. :D

Drinking up because ChocoMarvel can help relieve discomfort within 1-2 hours!

The taste is almost exactly like hot chocolate except a little less thick/sweet and with a wee bit of herbal undertones. I actually think it would also taste very nice if mixed with a bit of milk or with whipped cream!

Get ChocoMarvel for a better time during your next period! Afterall we spend almost 6 years of our lives menstruating! Might as well do it enjoyably, right?

Wish I had ChocoMarvel when I was younger! I used to have really, really bad cramps every single month that really rendered me almost immobile and none of the old wives' tales like rubbing your tummy clockwise (I can't believe I fell for that) worked!

Go to ChocoMarvel's website now HERE, and their facebook fanpage HERE!

ChocoMarvel is available at Guardian, Unity, and Watsons for $19.90 (8 sachets). Twin packs are also available at John Little, OG and Robinsons for $36.90.

HI!!

In case you are wondering why there is a photo of me... Well today I'm gonna show you how to do the above look!

I kept it very simple and clean (for my standards) because it is summer now! Summer is the time for comfy linens and bronzy, glowy skin!

And tadah!! Makeup all done with...

Bébé Poshé products!

Bébé Poshé (pronounced bay-bay-po-shay) is a new brand of makeup that has just launched in Singapore (right now sold at Watsons Toa Payoh Hub, East Point, Forum Galleria, Harbourfront, Chevron House with more stores coming soon) and it has super nice packaging!! Baby pink and black - love ♥!

And guess what? The brand is actually a collaboration among some gorgeous Taiwanese socialites... FOR SOCIALITES!! Actually that makes the products sound quite expensive but they are not!!

If you are interested in the brand story you can read more here.

Bébé Poshé sent me like a zillion products but I picked out a few I liked best for this look!

Products used:

1) False lashes in #01, Tokyo Doll

2) Bebe Creme, Foundation of Youth in #01, Doll

3) Princess Kiss lipstick in #08, Milk Toffee

4) Bebe Cake, Silky Translucent powder in #01, Dolly

5) Cheeky Bebe Blusher in #01, Rose

6) Cheeky Bebe Blusher in #02, Peche

7) Starry Eyeshadow in Vanity Fair

8) Perfect Concealer

9) Juicy Muah, lipgloss in #01 Hickey

10) Bebe Doll, Superlong Waterproof mascara

11) Dazzling eye pencil in #2, Metallic Copper

On my hand from left: The liquid foundation, concealer in 2 shades, and translucent pressed powder.

The liquid foundation is light and makes my skin dewy. It contains Aloe Vera Extract and Hyaluronic Acide to help soothe skin and keep it hydrated. However, it is a bit too light for my face as I just went tanning :(

The pressed powder is very fine and blots oiliness quite well.

I am in love with the concealer! As you can see it comes in a tiny little case with not one but TWO shades!! This is great as I like to put concealer on the sides of my nose and I could use the darker shade for that. For people with dark eye rings you can use the lighter shade under eyes too!!

And best part? It comes with a little brush too! How considerate and fuss-free! :D

Also very opaque and covers blemishes well! It would be perfect to slip into a wallet to bring around for emergencies. Like if you meet some handsome guy at some party and you have a zit or something. TADAH! NOT TO WORRY I HAVE CONCEALER! LOL

And with my new Bébé Poshé brush...

Applied the pinker blush on the apples of my cheeks and a weeny bit on my nose for that sunkissed look.

The peach shade is for shading!

For my eyes I applied a gold shimmer all over the lids, then brown for contouring. The eyeshadow is very pigmented and opaque, which is awesome.

For my eyeliner I chose metallic copper. I'm a fan of brown eyeliner because it gives a softer look and goes with the bronze tones well! I usually don't like eyeliner pencils but this one is really good and applies very very smoothly!

Lashes in Tokyo Doll

Bébé Poshé gave me a few lashes to choose from but Tokyo doll is my absolute favourite!!

Not only are the lashes made of a soft, natural (read: not plasticky) material, the lash bone is extremely soft and therefore comfortable to wear.

AND guess what? The lashes are a mix of brown and black!

After being to Japan recently I realised that brown lashes are now all the rage but it's super hard to find.

The lashes are stored with 2 stickers on the ends of each lash which explains why the lash bone juts out so much. Snip snip and they are ready to be used.

Here's a pic of my eye makeup! On the bottom lashes I picked length over volume and used the lengthening mascara. I had really low expectations for the mascara because all mascaras claim to lengthen anyway but this one is really good!

Little fibres inside the mascara caused my lashes to look super long. :)

For lips I used Bébé Poshé's lipstick in Milk Toffee. I love the colour! Smells like eucalyptus too! It contains Lavender Essense and Vitamin E. In the middle of the lips I put on their gloss in Hickey, for that extra pouty look.

Muah

I also wanna mention their lip balms... OMG THE SMELLS ARE HEAVENLY. I am so in love with the rose and honey ones!

I had loads of fun! More photos:

Anyway if you are wondering why Essential is bothering with doing such a big event, it is because they have NEW IMPROVED FORMULA!

What's new? Shea butter, a natural moisturizer that soothes dryness, repairs breakage and mends split ends, is now in Essential's shampoo, conditioner and treatment!

Also, the new and improved Essential shampoo now contains Deep Moisture Booster. What this means is that now shampoo-ing can be TANGLE-FREE, repairing damaged hair from the moment you shampoo.

Sweeter mornings at KFC

2011-06-13T11:24:00.000-07:00

Advertorial

KFC has recently came up with a new breakfast menu creation - the a.m. Blueberry Pancakes! We (meaning Mike and I) were invited to give it a try so we were really quite excited!

Afterall free food is always good :P And not to mention I love pancakes!

A little section in KFC suntec was partitioned off for us. It said private event. I felt like a kid having a birthday party there!

Cutlery and some... are these called condiments? were already on the table. Spot the butter, maple syrup, salt and pepper!

But first... A drink.

Felt like something light so I ordered an Iced tea. Brad on the other hand got milo peng!! Just looking at it makes me thirsty.

Camwhoring shots before the food arrives

TADAH!!

Can you spot the difference between the two plates?

The first one is the a.m. Blueberry Pancakes
with Hash Brown!

Winning combination of fluffy pancakes, velvety soft scrambled eggs, and a hash brown.

Of course, imho no pancakes are complete without a heavy dosage of melty butter!! Actually I just drizzled the syrup to snap a picture. I love maple syrup so much I actually just dip slices of pancake into the syrup and noms it.

The pancakes tastes awesome with just butter but maple syrup makes it even better.

Ok my butter looks very mutilated so here's a nicer pic:

The pancakes are prepared just right and the blueberries make for an extra bonus taste!

Comes with freshly brewed coffee or tea for only $5.30.

The second plate, also known as the a.m. Platter.

It's a hearty breakfast with the signature Original Recipe chicken fillet which everyone loves, scrambled eggs, a.m. Honey Biscuit and hash brown.

OMG I AM SO IN LOVE WITH THE HONEY BISCUIT.

It's this warm, soft little bun of love. Inside completely fluffy and melts in your mouth while the outside is a little crispy and DRIZZLED with HONEY!!!

Seriously best biscuit I've ever had!! LOVE it. I had a second helping of it lol.

NO! None for you Huiwen!

And introducing the a.m. Twister (Original Recipe):

Tortilla wrap

The inside is filled with Original Recipe chicken fillet, scrambled eggs, chopped tomatoes, cheddar cheese and mayonnaise. Comes piping hot and toasted. Totally delicious! If you are lazy to eat with a plate and cutlery, this comes neatly wrapped up for you.

Brad working hard

The next item is famous:

It's KFC's a.m. Porridge!

Don't like the shallots and onions so I requested for none

This is Huiwen's favourite and she finished like 1.5 bowls all by herself -_-

Definitely comfort food!! Chucks of Original Recipe chicken fillet in the porridge. Add pepper if you like the peppery taste!

I love gooey sticky non-watery porridge. So smooth in your mouth.

Ok that's it for the food pictures!!

With another blogger Etrangle's daughters

omg they are so puffy and cute and pretty!!

SO CUTE I'M MELTING!! They said they wanted a pic with

me coz my blonde hair looks like barbie *blush

With the nuffies + KFC team

Thinking of trying out the all new KFC a.m. menu with your family or friends?

Get this set meal, super worth it!!

Ok that's it! Sorry for making you hungry lol

p/s:

We saw Yam Ah Mee on the way back home and just had to snap a photo with him!!! He is very nice - his wife offered to snap the picture for us. And his dimples are sexy!! LOL

Iron Make your hair

2011-05-29T16:27:00.000-07:00

Advertorial

In case you are wondering why the title of the blog entry is so weird sounding, it's because today I'm going to be trying out Liese's Iron Make Collection!! More about that in a bit.

First...

Are you bored of your flimsy, flat, shapeless hair like me?

You want to style your hair with hair irons. But what's the point when your hair reverts back to normal within a few minutes and half your curls are gone by the time you are done curling?

And also... you have a love-hate relationship with your curling iron or flat iron:

Because hair irons can go up to temperatures of 210 freaking degrees! Boiling water is just 100 degree Celsius and I can't imagine boiling my hair! Really, that crazy temperature is enough to make your hair curl - literally. (HAHA PUN)

Needless to say, using a curling/flat iron damages your hair if you don't use the necessary protection before styling.

Liese's Iron Make Collection to the rescue!

Comes in 2 cute bottles: Rich Straight and Rich Curl

What are they?

The Iron Make Collection contains heat-activated polymer.

This magic polymer thingy is softened by heat - it spreads and stretches well on your hair, forming a barrier between your hair and the evil iron. This helps to minimize the heat damage on your hair.

As it cools, polymer becomes a solid again and keeps your hairstyle firm for you. There is also the "heat spring" ingredient that enables bouncy curls to be created with a "bending ability" - meaning your curls/ramrod straight hair will not feel stiff, hard or sticky!

So not only do you get hair that holds its style and shape all day, it's also soft to touch and not damaged! So amazing one wtf

I'm excited to give it a try!!!

Gonna curl my hair so I'm spritzing some Liese Iron Make Collection Rich Curl on my hair...

Psst psst

For more even coverage it's better to put the nozzle about 15cm from your hair.

Make sure all parts of your hair that will come in contact with the hair iron is well covered.

Pinned up my hair, put in a flower, and curling tongs heated up. I am ready to start!

I definitely feel safer with Rich Curl in between my hair and the hot rod!

And done!!!! Love the gyaru curls! :D

I love it! To be honest I was a little skeptical at first about the product. I hate putting styling products on my hair coz I wash my hair about once every 4 days. Yeah it's gross and whatever - but my hair is super long so it's a major hassle to wash!

So yes I don't like products that make my hair stiff or hard. I like to run my fingers through my hair! And I suspected that the Liese Iron Make Collection might be, but it really isn't!! After this shooting this advertorial I actually went to bed with the product on my hair :D It's not sticky at all!

And the curls definitely lasted longer than usual. For even longer-lasting curls, you can try to use some of Liese's Wax and Foam to hold the curls into place.

Another thing I liked: I felt my hair looks shinier after I applied Rich Curl!! :D :D :D

So of course, it's time to camwhore! Afterall, a good hair day is not that easy to come by!

Thank you Iron Make Collection for my awesome camwhoring session! :P

I didn't use the Rich Straight but it works the same way as the Rich Curl - just that it contains "heat stretch" ingredients to straighten frizz and unwanted wavy hair.

And after application, just flat iron your hair till you get that perfect salon rebonded look!

**************************

It's giveaway time!!

Want to win this awesome Two-in-one styler for straightening AND curling?

The reason why it looks so different is because it is a curling tong and also flat iron!! Super convenient! I also love how the tong has a thick barrel which gives you big gentle curls.

To win this...

Love More

2011-04-29T16:38:00.000-07:00

Advertorial

So excited!!! Received a giant box of many masks from Love More. They are actually one of the best selling mask brands in Taiwan!

Their packaging are all very pretty with girly cute graphics!! Irresistable!

I love masks!! It's hard not to - put it on, go about doing your usual pottering around the house, then after removing the mask your skin will be super soft and thankful!!

Among the masks here are 2 of my favourites:

Love More New Zealand Kiwi Acnes All Out Set

As you can see it's a really "special" mask coz it comes in a set of 3!

It is specially for both women and men who have troubled acne skin in Singapore's hot and humid weather.

With the strong adhesive ability, acne can be removed completely, turning your skin smooth immediately.

After the removal of acne, the skin won't be dry but with moisture retained. Natural kiwi fruit extract prevents further proliferation of acne.

The kiwi extract removes dead skin cells too, causing fairer skin with smaller pores.

I'm gonna try it out!

Here's the steps:

Apply the softener on your desired skin area (for me, nose and area around nose. blackheads!) and give it a good massage for 2-3 mins. This opens up pores for easier acne/blackhead removal!

The softener feels just like water.

This is the fun part!

Apply the Purifying Mask all over your desired areas! The mask is very gooey and smells super nice, really like kiwi! It is white with little beads of green. :D

Wait for 10-15 minutes till the mask is dry, and remove the mask! If there is excess mask left, wash off with warm or cold water.

You can see some of the blackheads and whiteheads on the mask!

Lastly apply the Purifying Astringent Essence!

The consistency is kinda like a toner. This works to contract acne prone pores. Pores will become smaller and less noticeable! :D

Super QQ, clean and smooth skin

I love how the essence makes my skin feel EXTRA clean!!

******************************************

If you don't have acne and just want a mask to hydrate, lift, whiten or firm your skin, you can also try some of Love More's famous 3D masks!

What is a 3D mask?

It is just like your usual paper mask but it comes with ear hooks to lift and firm skin from your neck, cheeks, eyes and mouth areas - because neck care is just as important as face care!

There are many different masks to choose from depending on your desire.

I chose the Rose Crystal and Tourmeline Peptide Duo Lifting mask.

Coz I love rose-scented things and it's the prettiest lol!

See? Super cute packaging!! Haven't use already happy!

I love love love how there are not one but TWO pairs of ear hooks (meaning 4 in total) coz it makes the mask extra tight on my face!

And the neck portion is just ingenious!

While wearing the mask it is adviceable to massage your face a little too to let the awesomeness absorb more. :D

In case you are wondering why the box says "Scotland", it is because Love More uses imported ingredients "Sealed and Sent with Love" from respective countries. It's pretty fun trivia!

If you'd notice the mask also has a "Hives" pattern. This ensures the mask fits better on your skin and will not absorb the moisture from your skin when it is dry.

******************************

Can't decide which is the mask for you?

For April and May 2011, there are 2 special "suitcases" of a mixture of all of Love More's maskes!

The Love More Purple Series and The Love More Pink Series

Masks inside the pink series.

I love love love the colours!

Masks inside the Purple Series

Both contain 7 masks in total and retails at only $9.90!

AFFORDABLE OR WHAT??!

Of all these masks, these four are my favourite:

Love More maskes are available exclusively at selected Watsons stores. You can also visit www.secretive.sg for more product information!

P/s: Please join Lush Beauty's Facebook page and Love More Singapore's Facebook page to stand a chance to win a box of their masks!

Pizza Hut's 30th Anniversary

2011-04-21T00:58:00.000-07:00

Advertorial

Woohoo!!! Was invited to Pizza Hut's 30th anniversary food tasting session where some bloggers and I had a first chance to try out their new menu which includes 25 new recipes!

(My first session with Pizza hut HERE)

6 new appertizers, 3 new pastas, 6 new Western favourites, 1 new baked rice, 2 new pizzas, 5 new beverages and 2 new desserts! So exciting.

I went there a very hungry girl and came out with my stomach almost exploding. Here are pics of some of my favourites:

Had an Emerald Sparkle which is just a creative name for my apple soda. Coz I was craving green apple that day! Refreshing and fizzy with little cubes of apple in it. :D

Stupid Huiwen snapped a pic of me as I was taking off my invisalign. LOL

After an unglam photo must post a pretty photo

We were all treated to the Pizza Hut staff dancing - then finally... FOOD!

Bruschetta with tomatoes and bruschetta with mushrooms.

Crispy garlicky butter toast is the way to start!!

Especially love the mushroom one. Definitely a more creative choice.

Gobbling coz I was SO hungry. But I was responsible enough to stop mid-bite for a picture.

Thick fries on dips, served with a grilled cheese sauce and a salsa!!

Fries might be common and boring but imho it is very difficult to get perfect fries!! These were piping hot and crispy, and I LOVEEEEEE the cheese sauce! Even asked for a second helping of it. It seemed like everyone loves the cheese - the other sauce was kinda neglected.

Hut's Platter - what can I say?

Fried food's always good. The sweet n' spicy drumlets are definitely the star though. Also included are criss-cut fries, calamari and tempura prawns. I love the prawns! Great for sharing or if you like variety in your appetitzers.

Hot favourite! Cheesy mushrooms!

The mushrooms were super juicy and almost bursts in your mouth!
Combined with melty slightly burnt cheese. Awesome.

My favourite of the day has to be the Cheesy mussels... Succulent mussels hidden under a thick layer of cheese and the little extra touch of bacon. Gone within seconds!

I love how the shell is like a spoon so you can slurp up the rest of the juices/leftover cheese after eating the mussel itself.

Here's a pic of "Lady" Iron Chef (Brad) taking a pic of our next dish, the Hut's Chicken Steak.

Hate him and his $3,000++ sibeh pro camera putting my poor LX3 to shame!!!!!!! Don't like this lah everyone also blogger why you so professional!!

Don't believe me? Here's MY picture, taken with a $800 (2 years ago) camera:

It looks ok... Not terrible but meh...

And here's Brad's... I WANNA RAPE THAT CHICKEN!! Ffffffffuuuu

Don't say it's skills ok!!!! Brad helped me take a picture with my camera and it also looks sucky so it's the equipment!!

I can't be bothered to describe the chicken coz that photo does all the selling.

Seafood fiesta baked rice

For cheese and tomato sauce lovers. It tastes kinda unique coz it's a little sweet with pineapples inside. Full of mussels, prawns and calamari!

Huiwen photobombing me

Finally a pizza!!!!!!!

Captain's Catch Pizza!

Super creative with potato chips on it!! This pizza has a generous amount of fried fish (like 炸鱼片) on it too. The sauce is kinda creamy and cheesy. Definitely something special unlike your usual pizzas!

Huiwen snapping a pic of me replenishing lip gloss. What? Must look good in photos what! Remember lipgloss cannot be photoshopped!

HERE COMES DESSERT!!!

Choco-Berry Banana Dessert Pizza!!

When we all ate this we thought it was just a biscuit under the fruits but it's real pizza!! Sprinkled with chocolate sauce, strawberries and bananas. I love those two fruits!!

So that concludes my blog entry... If you wanna try any of these, head out to any one of the 24 Pizza Hut outlets islandwide!

Hope I didn't make any of you too hungry!

Happy 30th birthday Pizza Hut!

Adventures with Za in Bangkok!

2011-03-23T18:04:00.000-07:00

Advertorial

Gotta love the peeps from ZA! They were launching a few exciting new products and unveiling their new ZA ambassador and she is Thai, so I got to tag along with other reporters to go to Bangkok for the regional press conference to meet her!

ZA also launched two new products - the True White Plus foundation (revamped from their best-selling foundation) and True White Plus Instant Brightener (totally new product)!

As an, ahem, backstage beauty reporter, I got to try out both products before they are even launched! Excitedness. I'm super obsessed with any product that makes my skin more gorgeous!

Got flown first class!

Ok just kidding. Not quite there yet. But my friend from SQ somehow had a colleague on that flight and she gave me that! You get to go to a special line during immigrations but I was a moron and mistook the first class line for the family line (where they do families with kids) and still waited a long time while confused parents and grannies stared at me. :(

We all hop along to Siam Discovery Lawn where they had the Za event.

There was a gorgeous Za BMW parked there so of course must camwhore with it!

The unabashedly pink stage. Love it!

Signing in as press. We got front row seats!

My pink Za moment!

Two pretty Thai girls hamming it up for me

Za's comprehensive range of skincare products on display

The catwalk/fashion show! Love the happy girly vibe!!

AND DENG DENG DENG!! Someone drives in front of the stage!!

Baited breath, who is she?

She is Davika Hoorne, Za's latest ambassador.
And she is super duper gorgeous maximum!!

There she is being cute while posing... She's only 18!!!!

And already a popular actress in Thailand. FML :(

There she is chatting with the host in rapid Thai. The host is also super cute but man Davika is like... statuesque.

End of the show....

Davika + models. Don't see already ok? Don't look at those legs it's depressing.

The next day, there was a series of press interviews with Davika and I got to sit in.

There she is, looking at her own picture. With the exact same hair and shoes as yesterday coz that attire's what she was wearing in all the posters! LOL so cute, I bet she has like 20 of this silvery dress!

A picture with Davika... She's very sweet and cute irl, it's super hard not to like her. But at the same time I'd prefer not to take photos with her anymore lol

And if you like our skin in the picture, guess what foundation we are both using? LOL

Brought my mom on this trip with me. Picture taken in the hotel room. She's awesome.

So what's Za launching?

Here are the camwhore pics with my new Za products!

True White Plus Instant Brightener

This little bottle seems so unassuming but it's AWESOME!!

What's a "brightener"? It is a new genre of BB cream. The Brightener is a fuss-free way to achieve pearly glowing skin instantly - brightening your skin, evening out skin tone and smoothening skin complexion!

The Instant Brightener is liquid instead of cream like BB creams. It is actually very light and goes on smooth with light-coverage. Your skin won't feel caked and unable to breathe.

The best thing about the Instant Brightener is that instead of the dull beige or greyish beige tone that most bb creams have, it's pinkish! Suitable for most Asian skin which has yellow undertones.

This evens out skin tone and gives you that coveted "no makeup but I still look awesome" look!

Also, it contains brightening pearls inside which gives you a super nice glow! It also has a whitening ingredient called Super HS Vitamin C to lighten scars and dark spots! LOVE!!

SPF 30 PA+++ ensures your skin doesn't get sun damage while you are out too!

Nude translucent look with no foundation, just the Instant Brightener on!

The Instant Brightener also reduces redness, soothes inflammation and stops oil and shine and lasts up to 8 hours. Great for a day out where you don't feel like piling on the makeup.

You can also use the Instant Brightener with other products like concealers or foundation.

The steps should be:

1) Skincare (moisturizers, sun protection etc)
2) True White Plus Instant Brightener
3) Foundation

Now for the True White Plus 2-way foundation!!

I've raved many times before about how awesome Za's foundations are, so when they told me the True White Plus foundation is even better, I was pretty doubtful.

[The True White Plus 2-way foundation is a reformulated and improved version of the current best-selling True White 2-way foundation. It is a whitening foundation, apt for users who are concerned with whitening while the Skin Beauty foundation I tried in the previous post is more apt for users who are concerned with moisturizing.]

But I was really pleasantly surprised!

The texture and finish is even finer than before so when applied (with a wet sponge like I prefer), the foundation goes on smoother and covers more fine lines, which is awesome! This is with the help of the Spotless Brightening Powder ingredient, which evens complexion.

The whitening C ingredient to diminish appearance of dark spots and freckles also means that girls who want fairer brighter skin will love it!

CAMWHORE TIME!!

Candy look - This is with the Instant Brightener under my foundation

Love it

Available in 4 shades - 20, 21, 22, 32

OK here's an awesome deal for readers!!

1st 100 to email to zabeautyschool@shiseido.com.sg with your name, NRIC, and contact number with the secret password: "I want pearly bright skin" will get a one-to-one consultation with a ZA beauty specialist on how to achieve fabulous base make up finish! And not to mention a trial-sized True White Plus 2 way foundation and true white skincare samples!

I know Singapore doesn't have four seasons but if you go to a seasonal country, Spring is when the weather is perfect... Sunshiny and not too warm. People are having picnics and rainbows are in the sky and the flowers are all blooming with roaring colours everywhere.

Just describing it makes me feel like donning on a chiffony, floaty sundress and sandals, flying a kite and falling in love!!!!

Woohoo!!

So in order to entice you to join the competition I am also gonna participate and come up with 3 spring outfits!!

But first, the difficult task... Choosing the bag!!

And... *drumroll* I choose the green Prada!!!

Love that shade, super got Spring ambience ok!!

(Please note my "outfits" are all, erm, modelled by myself. Apparently everyone else just did a polyvore sorta thing... You can choose either!)

LOOK 1:

Spaghetti strapped top with a playful pink chiffon skirt. The skirt has dusty blue bunnies all over it!

Coz spring is when bunnies have the most fun (ie fornicating LOLOLOL)!!

Make up is an essential part of the look!

Green contacts, green eyeshadow, pale rosebud lips and pink blusher for that flushed I-just-ran-about-in-the-sunflower-field look.

And not to forget, of course, romantic soft curls on the hair. :D

Posing with my bag of choice!

Haha the bag looks a bit crumpled coz it's actually empty.

Sorry all photos got no footwear coz my camera lighting cannot snap from far away wtf... Just imagine gladiator sandals or espradrilles with everything thanks.

LOOK 2:

My staple can't-live-without clothing item is the white wifebeater tank top!! Matches everything and is (to me lah) super sexy!! Ok I'm not sexy in it but imagine Megan Fox wearing it!

Actually don't need to imagine, she's wearing it in the Love the Way You Lie mtv.

I might have gone off tangent a bit. Back to the outfit!

Floral skirt. Predictable? I don't care! I love florals and I wanna wear them!

Garland of flowers on hair - it's fake but if people ask why I have flowers on hair I'm gonna say I gathered them while prancing around the lake.

And a little knitted fingerless glove which I kinda regret putting on coz it looks weird on only one hand and I lost the other side.

Camwhoring with the bag!

LOOK 3:

Lightweight perforated stripey red and white dress!!

Perfect for Valentine's day with a heart-shaped belt. Or on a yacht!

Wait, got surprise one!!

It's backless!

Chose this dress because I always loved the combination of chilli red and green. Matches so nicely AND is super attention grabbing! Love it.

If you wanna see the bags in closer detail, or participate, click HERE!!

Just out of curiosity, which is your favourite of the bags? I actually like the blue Marc Jacob more but the green Prada, I thought, is the most "Spring".

Go join, and I hope you win!!!!!

Do you prefer length or thickness?

Hahaha! When it comes to this all-important question, us girls always reply... Why can't I have both?

Anyway, I have neither in this photo!!:

Yes, I am talking about lashes!!

If you think I look weird here it's coz I don't have my usual lash enhancements on! Look super different right?

And if you are a fan of Clicknetwork.tv, you'd perhaps have seen the latest
Chick Vs Chick challenge where Kaykay and I compete to see who can get more people to try on Maybelline's new Long Extreme Stiletto mascara! (I won btw muahahaha)

Why stiletto? Coz just like what stilettos can do for your legs, Maybelline's Long Extreme Stiletto mascara can do for your lashes!

Your end effect is long, tapered and pointy lashes, just like a stiletto heel!

When I heard that I had to do a mascara challenge, I was a little worried coz if the product is not very good then I'd look so super ugly with stumpy little lashes!!

But I had nothing to worry about. BEHOLD!!

Now that I've got your attention...

Crazy long and thick!!! No photoshop on the lashes! Please erase memory of the first pic of me with no (enhanced) lashes thanks.

After, Maybelline IS the #1 mascara brand in Singapore, so it lives up to its popularity!

In fact, after I put on my make-up, I was so pleased I took super a lot of camwhoring shots... :D

I can't even remember the last time I had confidence to just put mascara on and no falsies to snap shots. And it feels extra chio coz it seems like I'm one of those lucky girls with ridiculous camel lashes. But actually I'm not it's just the mascara LOL!

If you are wondering how come it works so well, it's coz of this:

Check it out! The brush has little fibres in it!

The fibres are the secret to length-enhancing mascaras. :D

And best of all it's all-in-one so don't need to use one tube of fibre and one tube of mascara! Troublesome max.

Here are two pics of girls we asked to try on the mascara on the streets:

And this is just Kaykay and I anyhowly quickly giving just 1 or 2 coats coz we were rushing to win! If you want super long and super thick lashes can just keep on applying until you go mad.

Not only does the Long Extreme Stiletto mascara visibly lengthen lashes by more than 50%, it also contains Pro Vitamin B5 for shiny and smooth lashes! Waterproof and smudgeproof means you don't have to worry about wearing it for long periods of time and having ruined make-up. :)

So you can camwhore...

And camwhore...

And camwhore... ALL DAY LONG!!!!!!!!!

If you use mascara, you should definitely give Maybelline's Long Extreme Stiletto mascara a try.

Coz it's also super affordable at $18.90

and available at Watsons and at most places that sell make-up! :D

The Camqueen of the Year Crowned

2010-11-26T21:15:00.000-08:00

Advertorial

Don't know if you guys saw this advert I did for the CamQueen of the Year contest?

Now the contest is finally over and can I say WOW???????

It was definitely a smash hit among Singaporean youth!! The contest generated 4.5 MILLION page views and 400,000 votes cast via facebook!!

CLICK HERE FOR THE CAMQUEEN WEBSITE

Of course, it was a very interesting contest where contestants were urged to send in a photo of themselves before and after a makeover, so everyone was trying to prove that they can doll themselves up the best. And I must say among the contestants were many brave souls who put up their photos at... erm, well not their best. All for the prize of $5,000!

After a super fierce competition, the final winner was crowned *drumroll*:

And she is Tammy Tay!!

In case you are wondering why there's only one photo and the "after" is mysteriously replaced by bottles of Vitamin Orange/Lemon, it is not coz after her makeover Tammy looks like that. It's coz it's a...

TWIST!!!

Surprise! The contest was not judged by how drastically different your makeover made you look, but by your "before" photo. Yes, proving people can look beautiful even in their bare skin.

Like me with no makeup muahaha OK lah fine I did use some photoshopping.

Of course, health is the foundation of all beauty, and you can't be beautiful without being healthy!

Which is why Tammy was chosen, coz her glow and bright eyes say good health :)

Yes I love my make up and all my fake things ie false eyelashes and implants etc, but I also believe that having great skin (and teeth and hair actually) is the most basic rule to looking beautiful.

If you want glowy bright skin - Vitamin C is super vital.

Which can be sought from You c1000 vitamin C drinks!

The powerful little bottles contain a whooping 1000mg of vitamin C each, which your body desperately needs to produce collagen, fight signs of aging, stronger bones and teeth etc. Hiyah the health benefits of Vitamin C is super a lot lah can't be bothered to list them all out. It's awesome that's all!

The worst thing is our body does not retain or produce Vitamin C, which means you need to ingest appropriate amounts of it everyday!

And the easiest (and yummiest) way to to drink loads of You c1000. :D

When I was sick recently I drank like seriously 7 bottles in a day. Helped me recover fast! It's your best friend when you are beginning to fall sick I tell you.

Remember to get your Vitamin C for today!

www.youc1000.com

Wow I'm addicted to the game on the website -_- ... Oh and also, You c1000 will be launching a new APPLE flavour soon!!

I'm excited to try!

13 years and counting - my favourite foundation

2010-11-14T20:34:00.000-08:00

Advertorial

I feel slightly emo about today's advertorial. It's because I've used this product since I was 13, when I first started putting on make up. When I was poor and pimply. I looked high and low for a foundation that provided enough coverage for my zits, lasted long, and didn't harm my skin - and found ZA.

And now I'm 26. Over a decade I've tried so many other foundations, and ZA's two way cake is STILL my favourite!!! I'm not lying ok I've mentioned this in many blog entries.

Almost every photo of me you see on this blog has ZA powder on my face!

Even just smelling the foundation gives me a sense of confidence coz I associate it with being pretty!!

So needless to say I love my ZA foundation (I remember the spokesperson then was Karen Mok) and now they love me back and I'm writing an advert for them!!! *sheds an emo tear.

Thanks ZA for covering all my flaws for 13 years :)

Why I love my ZA foundation:

1) The colour is lovely. I hate how some foundations (especially liquid ones it seems) make you look grey or yellow instead of well... dewy and radiant. ZA's foundation comes in 8 perfect shades to suit most Asian skintones - the most number of shades in the mass market! I'm a 23 when I'm tan and when it fades I'm a 22!

2) The damn powder is crazy long-lasting!! I've swam in it before (!!), clubbed and stayed overnight outside and it's still there.

3) It doesn't oxidise and turn some nasty darker colour.

4) It's cheap and affordable!!!

5) Doesn't harm my skin.

6) Contains SPF 20 - sounds like no big deal but once I went swimming (yes with foundation) and my whole body was sunburnt badly except for my face -_-

7) Has 3 magical beneficial ingredients - 1) Hyaluronic Acid to moisturize skin, 2) Poreless powder to even skin out instantly and to conceal pores and imperfections for a flawless finish and 3) Luminous powder... It's like little disco balls that give your skin a natural glow from all angles!

These are all the limited edition ZA foundation cases I've had over the years :)

And I'm not the only one loving my ZA foundation!!

It is the no. 1 selling foundation for 12 years in Watsons (means I'm one of the first to discover it coz I used it since 13 years ago muahaha)

Cleo Beauty Hall of Fame for Compact Foundation with the Finest Finish

Cozycot Holy Grail 2008

Her World Reader's Choice Awards 2000/2001

Cleo Crush Awards - Best Compact for the budget conscious 2003

1 foundation sold EVERY THREE MINUTES!!

Every year, ZA launches a Limited Edition Case that comes with 2 refill packs for a super cheap price - and this is this year's:

Say hello to the Stardust Wonderland Limited Edition Collections 2010!

Pretty and sparkly!

The pink one is called Pink-in-Flight and the silver one is called Silver Mist!

Which one do you prefer?? I'm definitely going for the pink!

For those of you who don't know, the reason why 2-way foundation is named as such is because it can be used in 2 ways - wet or dry.

For better coverage, use a wet sponge to apply. If you want just a light finish or to blot oily areas, use a dry sponge!

To achieve a long-lasting and even finish, apply like this:

Check that you didn't miss any spots!! :D

Anyway you may be wondering why I'm wearing such a furry contraption (It's a PONCHO from minimaos woohoo) - it's because Winter is approaching and I am trying to be fashionably seasonal ok!!

And also I got ZA's new Glitter Eye Colors in 5 new shades!

Left to right: 02 Mirror Ball, 03 Star Glow, 04 Peach Fizz, 05 Soda Pop and 01 Urban Night

AND THEY ARE TOTALLY WINTRY AND FESTIVE!!

I'm LOVING the colors!!!!

Highlight - Mirror Ball

Eyeshadow - Peach Fizz

Inner corners of eyes - Star Glow

Lower eyelids - Soda Pop

I love the pastel colours, especially soda pop! Super suitable for Christmas :D

Here's another look created with the glitter eye colors and ZA two-way foundation:

This look is more autumny!!

Highlighter - Mirror Ball

Eyeshadow (winged out and applied thickly) - Urban Night

Inner eye corners - Star Glow

Lower eyelids (smudged) - Urban Night

And some drawn on lower lashes with an eyeliner:

Super easy to achieve for a sultry first date. :D

Glitter eye colors are going for $11.90 each. It also moisturizes the eyelids with moistening powder and makes your eyes glitter from all angles with Pearly Powder.

Inspired to try ZA yet?

As I mentioned, the yearly limited edition collections are always sibeh wu hua (worth the buy) coz they are damn afforable!!

And this year's cases are so pretty PLUS it comes with a cute little pouch!!

The collection only cost $33.50 for 1 case (Pink-in-flight or Silver Mist), 2 refill packs (can last damn long) and the satin wristlet. The usual price is $60.

Our promotional packsets are available too!

Set C / D: Purchase pink or silver case + 2 refills + True White skincare sample kit + true white essence 5g + True White Day Protector 1.2g

Set E / F: Purchase pink or silver case + 2 refills + Future Defense Trial kit

Set G / H: Purchase pink or silver case + 2 refills + Concealer Perfection (full sized) + Pore smoother sample

Must quickly go buy while stocks last... Very fast run out of colours one I swear. If they ran out of your shade you'd hop on the spot and be damned pissed. At least, that's what happens to me!! But I don't have to worry coz I got a lot of refill packs coz ZA people remembered my shade I love them MUAHAHAHA.

Magic sheets

2010-11-07T17:19:00.000-08:00

I love make up but I don't think anyone really likes the feeling of make up on their skin.

Especially after a really long day, especially after clubbing or parties, you just want to rush home and have your face clean again without all that gunk clogging your pores!!

And when you have thick make up on like me (and if you are OLD like me), it's especially important to remove all the make up because leaving make up on overnight ages your skin like crazy!

I normally put on falsies so for me, the hardest part of make up removal is removing the falsies gently. I used to just tug them out but that's like stretching the sensitive skin around your eyes to the max.

Lazy?

Pulling out falsies is advisable... If you wanna age 10x faster than your peers.

Correct method is to ease them out slowly and gently with makeup remover.

So not only is it important for make up remover to be strong, it also has to be CONVENIENT!!

To be really honest I used to just use a facial scrub coz once I get home I wanna freaking sleep...

Too tired to remove make up?

Happens to all of us

So I just use a scrub in the shower while I'm showering and be done with it! Obviously you can't use the soapy scrub around your eyes so my eyes would still be like smudgey brown until the next day. HAHA I'm so gross!

For those of you who are the amazing combination of lazy and vain, I'm gonna introduce to you an awesome product!!

Biore Cleansing Oil Cotton Sheets!!

I'm sure everyone has heard of Biore. I've used Biore's facial wash since I was 14 till today!! But I betcha didn't know that Biore is the No. 1 makeup remover brand in Japan!

And among the selection of makeup removers that Biore sells, my favourite are the sheets!!

I HATE having to pour makeup remover onto cotton pads to wet the pads then wipe my makeup off. It's so troublesome and those cotton pads are so small, then must use a few of them. And the cotton pads often leave little bits of fluff on my face. DO NOT LIKE!! Especially when the fluff gets into my mouth!

But Biore's cotton sheets come already infused with cleansing oil so you can cheat a step!!

So very easy. :)

It comes in a pretty pink plastic box that you can keep in your bathroom. And the box is airtight so the sheets inside won't dry up!! Once you are finished with the 48 sheets, you can just buy the refill pack (middle in pic above) and place it in your box!

See super convenient!!

(Hahaha actually it looks a bit like a toilet bowl from top view! :x)

Here comes my favourite bit about the Cotton Sheets - they come in BABY SIZE!!!

Ok it's actually a travel pack but I like to call it "Baby" Cotton Sheets. Coz it's so cute and small it fits in your palm!

It's AWESOME to have in your luggage for travelling, or in your bag for when you wanna hit the gym and want to remove the make up, or just to put in the car! Then you don't even need to be home to completely remove your make up :D

Now for the most amazing part of the sheets...

THEY ARE ULTRA MOIST!!

By moist I mean:

All from ONE sheet. Note amount of cleansing oil on the paper!!

And even though there is so much cleansing oil, it's surprisingly not oily on the skin at all. :)

(And yes my nails are hideous)

It is so powerful, even the most stubborn makeup can be gently and effectively removed!

Now to put Biore Cleansing Oil Cotton Sheets to the TEST!

Remember to first put the Cotton Sheet on your eyes for 5-6 seconds because you begin wiping.

Tadah! This is after just putting the sheet on my eyes with no wiping done.

And the sheet used for half my face! Makeup transferred from face to sheet :p

And using only one side of one sheet - half my face's make up removed!!

It felt so clean and yet it wasn't drying at all, or greasy/sticky!! LOVE IT.

I was really quite surprised that the sheets removed BOTH my fake eyelash and double eyelid sticker!! Because the sheets are so wet, I barely had to repeatedly wipe the same area to completely get makeup off. No more tugging!

I just hate having leftover eyelash glue being stuck on my eyelids and are always IMPOSSIBLE to remove. The sheets got rid of that too!! WOAH!

It is also enriched with a moisturising agent so my skin felt soft and smooth after usage - and best of all, not tight! Alcohol-free too so it's ideal for all skin types.

Awesome. :D

AND AFFORDABLE TOO!!

Ok looking at this picture I suddenly feel like the made-up side is very dirty. -_-

Nonetheless, final picture has full make up on...

Biore Cleansing Oil Cotton Sheets - if you have never tried makeup remover wipes before it's time to try, it'd change your life!!

If you are already using wipes, you can still give Biore's cotton sheets a try! The ultra moist formula ensures you remove your make up with less wiping - and that's less stressful on your skin. :D

Available in all leading supermarkets, hypermarkets and pharmacies.

Are you a shooting star?

2010-10-20T14:02:00.000-07:00

Woohoo! Had great fun a few Saturdays ago... Was invited to be a guest judge for Laurier's "Are You a Shooting Star" Challenge, together with Jessica and Zoe!

Arrived at Cineleisure at 1030am... It was a nice day, bright and sunny!

The tentage

And check out all the participants obediently queuing up! Gotta love their spirit, waking up so early for a challenge.

These name-tags are for the 60 lucky selected teams.

What are the boxes for? You'd soon find out. :)

Zoe and I camwhoring after changing into our Laurier tank tops :D

And that's how we look like from the back!! Loving the daisy dukes... HOT!

Jess and I camwhoring with our team - no. 61. Technically since we were judges we were not included in the competition but it's still fun to do the challenges!

Every girl there was given a goodie bag:

And check out what's inside!

Poncho, water, facial blotters, wet wipes, UV protection and a fan! So thoughtful

The best present was a freaking polaroid camera!! Everyone loves those. I got a blue one. :( I heard there were girls who got pink ones!

The girls waiting for their clues!

Why all so young and chio!! Being girls we (Zoe, Jess and I) had a fun time observing what people were wearing. One of the teams came in sporty FBT shorts and serious running shoes! Complete with sporty sunglasses, toned arms, a perfect tan and smart hair cuts etc. I was saying they confirm gonna win and they were indeed one of the top! LOL

Camwhoring again. Side note: Love my Shibuya boots

AND IT'S TIME TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GOT THE CLUES

Real simple: Guess the location, get there, snap a photo with the given polaroid camera, and be FAST AND ACCURATE Amazing Race style!

Since we were not going to be able to win, I said "Guys I wanna go 7/11 to buy candy first can?". When I was queuing, I had an epiphany and asked the people behind me "Hey do any of you have dimples???" (Clue 8)

Surprisingly enough some guy did and he allowed us to snap a picture!!

Encouraging start lol.

Btw I freaking love Clue 8. All the boys with double dimples look sooooo cute in the final pictures!

Gotta say I was really impressed with Zoe... She knew where everything was!! She pulled us to F21 for clue 7: Photo of team-mate in leopard print. To think I almost wore a leopard print skirt that day!

But then I'd never turn down any reason to go into F21 lah...

And that's that. Jess went into the fitting room to sneakily snap a pic but the polaroid's flash accidentally turned on and was reflected in the mirror so the whole photo turned out BLACK! LOL Lucky we are not really contestants!

Next task was to go to NTUC Finest to snap a pic with... Joanne Peh. By that I mean a angelic life-size cardboard stand up of her. She hiding in the back of the store, very sneaky!

Stopped by Ben and Jerry's to snap a pic with Woody the Cow. Till today I don't know what that is. Which cow? So we just snapped with any cow there...

Next challenge - having found a make up store kind enough to loan us BLACK LIPSTICK, we had to pick a team-mate to do it!!

So we did Orh peh som and Jess lost!! Check out her classic face LOL!!

But being nice friends we decided to all put together. :D

Zoe braving it

Hey we look not bad leh!!

It was 1pm by the time we were done with these tasks and we decided to forgo the rest and just EAT!!

Check out the cute polaroids we took:

Our Mr Dimples

Woody the cow??

Camwhoring shots!!

And that's it, we head back to the tent... It's time to judge!!

Most of the participants were already back! I LOVED how the tent looks so nice with all the interesting polaroids everyone took. Some of the girls even took the effort to use markers to decorate their photos. Too bad no extra points for that!!

This is the before - it was just bits of double sided tape!

Us girls gave scores based on accuracy and speed... The winners:

Team 42!

Also the answer to Life, the Universe and Everything. A coincidence? I don't think so.

All the contestants! :D It was a fun day of bonding.

Contest proudly organized by Laurier Super Slimguard

This right here is my favourite napkin in the world. I swear even before writing this advert I always use this every single time I get my period. Sometimes when it's sold out in the supermarkets I'd be mad pissed off so when I do see them I always buy a lot haha.

At 1mm thin, it is the thinniest napkin in the market and yet it is 200x ultra absorbent!

The reason why I love the day use napkins is coz it is BARELY there (no wings and completely fuss free), yet has never ever failed me (ie the dreaded "S" word that ends with "tain").

If girls tell me they don't use pads as they are chunky, I know they are just not using the right superslim ones. Nothing can make you feel more secure than an ultra absorbent napkin which also gives you the freedom to do whatever you want in the clothes you wanna wear. :)

If you think this contest is fun and wanna join more contests, be sure to join Laurier's facebook fan page HERE!!

Get S and V now!

2010-10-17T14:24:00.000-07:00

Advertorial

Hahaha!! My title is very cryptic right?? Can you guess what products I'm gonna be introducing today??

Hint:

Product 1 is for...

And product no 2 is for a S-line body!!

In case you are confused what these two terms means, it got popular in Korean and it simply means a sharp jawline (V) and a curvy hourglass body (S)!

I'm always happy to receive new products to try out but I felt like these two products were totally meant for me or something!! I don't think I'm fat but if I could choose to lose weight on only two areas, they would be JAWLINE and BELLY.

I'd kill for a sharper jawline! And don't say my jawline is sharp ok it is not! I just photoshop like mad that's all.

And introducing...

LUS Extra V-line Lift Up!!

The box is really interesting and contains two sections...

Inside: Seven masks in packets and what appears to be a funny piece of cloth.

It is super interesting to use!

First tear open a mask packet... Inside are sodden paper masks. Sodden with awesomeness

And slap the mask on your chin/neck as such. And obviously such a mask won't hold in place, which is what the piece of cloth is for!!

It is designed specially to not only hold the mask in place, but to give your unappealing chin/neck fats a tight workout!!

The black strap even has a hole for your chin! :D

Honestly the pink cloth strap is very tight and the mask turns warm after a while, so I REALLY felt like it was burning all my fats away and they had nowhere to run to, haha.

I think if you live alone you can just wear this strap all the freaking time... Confirm you get the firmest jawline in the world coz the skin CAN'T SAG!! No space for it to sag!!

Optimally you should leave this on for 40 minutes so while waiting it's time to get a better body!

LUS S-line Body Glove

Box contains 5 glove packets

Just like the masks, the gloves are also sodden with mysterious goodness!!

The gloves have two sides. One side is dotted and the other side is not. The dotted side is for exforliating, getting ride of dead skin cells!

After massaging your targetted area with the dotted side, simply flip to the smooth side (thus two thumb holes). This combats your fats!!!

After a while this really heats up your skin too! Even after you stop massaging you can feel the cream heating up your fats!!

************************

So I used this a week ago for a few days to see if there were any results!! Ready?

LUS Extra V-line Lift Up

To see how much fats I lost on my chin simply put your mouse over the image and hold for a bit!!

I drew a black line to show you all where my BEFORE jawline was at. REALLY GOT DIFFERENCE LEH!!

And it's so much!!

I can haz a V-line face!!

After the burning of fats, you can also try using the Age-Lock cold face-shaper bra to cool down your skin and for intensive firming and lifting!! I wrote an advert for that HERE.

And now for LUS S-Line Body Glove

I used it on my tummy and thighs

FML I felt really fat. I hit 26, really?

And after 2 uses:

I LOST 1.5 INCHES!!! I COULD DANCE!! And I swear I didn't pull the measuring tape tighter or anything ok!

Inner thigh

Lost almost an inch too!! :D :D :D

To be honest I didn't measure my chin, belly or thighs after further uses so I don't know if they ballooned back to their normal states but at least I know LUS works, so it's perfect for a special photoshoot or function!!

Thinking of getting these awesomesauce products already? I'd give you another reason!!

The LUS Extra V-line Lift Up Challenge 2010!!

Think you will lose more chin fats than anyone else? Real easy:

1) Get your Lus V-line Extra Lift Up!

2) Take 3 pictures. One with the mask on, one before and one after!

3) Blog it, tweet it, or facebook it!

4) Email your consolidated picture to enquiry@secretive.sg by the 21st of Nov, 2010.

I think my picture is lousy coz I only took side view before and after shots. I think using front view will be better!

You could win a $520 Prada wristlet! :D

These 2 products are available at all SASA cosmetic stores and on www.secretive.sg. It will also be available at BHG Departmental stores and ALT The Heeren from 12th November onwards!

I recommend you guys to buy and try!!

For a V-line face

And an S-line body!!

(Sorry it's very hard to self-shoot a full body shot with my ring light - and yes I'm wearing shorts, white ones.)

Just remember not to...

- Accidentally smear any of these products on boobs or whatever you don't wish to become smaller
- Take off contacts after use without washing hands thoroughly!!

I'm a night owl, so I normally wake up between 3-5pm. Then I'd wait for Mike to come home, and we'd go eat his dinner and my lunch (I skip breakfast).

Then every night, at about say 2am, I'd start to feel hungry again.

But more often than not, THERE IS NO FOOD AT HOME!! Well either no food or I'm too lazy to cook whatever is in the fridge.

And I'd start to do crazy things when I'm delirious with hunger.

For example...

Open and close the fridge door despite being disappointed 1,670 times.
The only thing that grew in the fridge is probably mold.

I'm sure many of you do this!!!

Then I'd try to convince myself that I'm not feeling hungry at all. And that the pangs and salivating just means I'm like cold or something.

Then, subconsciously, I'd start biting my nails.

I think that's coz my body thinks that eating bits of dead skin is better than eating nothing at all.

Unbeknownst to my body I'm actually eating bits of French gel, so that shouldn't be good at all.

Still I'd be hungry, so I'd try extreme methods to curb my hunger:

No, it doesn't work. Still hungry! Roar!!

Method 2: Distract myself by doing small-talk with myself

Ok that doesn't work either.

Method 3: Distract myself by pretending I'm a movie star

And belting out relevant soundtracks. AND ALL THAT JAZZ!!

I bet Catherine Zeta Jones never feels hungry!!

After a while more I'd start contemplating eating everything.

For example, would this stuffed rabbit taste nice sauteed lightly with butter and asparagus? Would about this boot? Maybe it would be ok-tasting if I boil it with some chicken stock.

After a while I'd realise that these household objects will not be yummy.

Then I would....

BITE MIKE!!!!!!!!!!

FHL hahahha!! But yummy as he is, he doesn't satisfy hungry coz my teeth are not sharp enough to eat him. How do cannibals do it??

But not to fret... Now I have a new and mega easy HUNGER SOLUTION!!!

Presenting...

Brand new Rice Crisps by Mister Potato!!

Made with a secret combination of potatoes and rice for a light crispy snack that will satisfy any hunger cravings!

YUMMEH!!

Being Asian, I obviously LOVE rice. And now I can haz rice with my potato chips, making it even healthier!

I was totally surprised when I bit into the chip... It tastes almost exactly like normal potato chips but just that little something is different. Like the aftertaste is sweeter or stronger or something. My favourite is the Sour Cream and Onion!!

Actually I got given 4 canisters of these chips but within 2 days 2 cans are finished already by my friends who came over for mahjong -_- They said it's really nice.

But it's ok to munch on these chips, coz the Rice Crisps have/are:

No Added MSG

No artificial colouring

Cholestrol and trans fat free

20% less fat than conventional fried potato chips yet taste just as delicious

First of its kind in Singapore

And an awesome alternative to other snacks!

Comes in four flavours too!!

And even can eat it on the go since it comes with these handy aluminium canisters. :D

Hello!!!

I love camwhoring! Why not? Only young once so much take more, more, more photos! And if those photos are chio it's a great way to get attention online! After our online personality is more and more important nowadays so it's smart to put your best face forward :D

Obviously make up is a super important element in snapping super chio photos so today I'm gonna show ya all how I put on make up!

If you think it's excessive or whatever please, click this page away. You may not appreciate it but other people might, so why spoil the fun for others? It's like going to some vegetarian recipe webpage and posting "EWWW WHY NO MEAT ONE IT'S SO GROSS MOCK MEAT IS JUST FLOUR YOU ARE AN IDIOT OF A CHEF PLEASE POST A REAL RECIPE NEXT TIME."

Like what's your point? You wanna see meat recipes? Go to a relevant webpage. You wanna see simple, natural make up? THIS IS NOT THE URL FOR IT.

Back to the topic: I think the last time I did a make up post was back in 2005... Super long ago.

So this is my "no make-up" picture.

Fresh after a bath. As explained in the photo, I couldn't remove my lash extensions... And obviously it's photoshopped... But hey, I left my moles on!

Step 1: PUT IN CONTACTS! Uber important, do not neglect this step!

Step 2 is to apply 2-way cake foundation! I've been using ZA's foundation all my life. Another great brand is Revlon's colorstay liquid foundation with SoftFlex technology... Because of its LONGEVITY! It really really won't come off for the whole day! However, the colours are not that nice so I apply ZA on top of it.

Notice I put foundation on my lips. This is to conceal any inconsistency in lip colour before I apply lipstick. Important also!!

After drawing brows and putting on Bronzer!!

My brow pencil is dunno what brand from Japan and my bronzer is from Victoria's secret.

I'm in love with bronzer recently! It really gives you a healthy glow!

And I used my eyebrow pencil to shade my nose bridge also!

Sorry there are no photos of me actually doing the make up coz it's very hard to snap yourself doing make up... You ownself imagine lah hor.

This is after eye make up...

White highlighter eyeshadow all over, brown eyeshadow to enhance the double eyelids, and a thin line of liquid brown eyeliner (mine is $4.90 from Aries) to line the eyes.

At this point you make apply falsies if you don't have extensions like me.

Also, stuck on lower lashes, and put some MAC glitter on the inner eye corners! :D

And here's what I meant by brown eyeshadow to exhance the double eyelids.

After blusher, lipstick + gloss and a hair bow! Tadah!!

For blusher any pink toned blusher will do. Lipstick: Mac's "Honeylove" as a base, Chanel hot pink gloss on top.

More camwhoring shots!

LOL...

Wondering why I'm posting all these make up tips? Coz I'm very NICE ok! I'm trying to help you WIN AN AWESOME CONTEST!!!

The CamQueen of the Year contest!!

Very simple one!! Participants just need to create a profile and upload two photos of themselves... One BEFORE photo and one AFTER photo!!

Before and after what? Make up, of course!

Just to illustrate, here's a video of one of the contestants...

Erm... She is quite... unique. But don't worry you don't need to take video, photo can already!

And the prizes... Oh so generous!

CamQueen of the Year will win $5,000!!!!

This will be chosen by a panel of judges.

There will another prize of $1,000 for the People's Choice Award... For the babe who manages to get the most people to "like" their picture!!

But of course, somebody generous must be sponsoring the prizes right!!? And that someone is YOU.C1000!!

I'm sure you have seen You.c1000 drinks in our local supermarket/convenience stores before. I love it! Even though it's in a smallish bottle, it is SUPER GAO (I have no idea how to translate this I suppose the closest is 'thick) and very very fizzy and the strong lemony flavour immediately perks you up!

And not only is it yummy, most importantly of all it's chockful of Vitamin C!! 1000mg in the bottle!

I suppose that's why it's called "C" 1000... Just in case you don't know how much vitamin C that is, our recommended intake of Vitamin C per day is 250mg to 4,000mg! Your body doesn't manufacture or store excess Vitamin C, so obviously it's better to get more Vitamin C goodness daily! And I've been reading reviews and loads of people said they felt better after drinking this when they are ill. :)

Plus Vitamin C is totally anti-aging!! Super important for me!!

Also comes in orange flavour and bigger bottles of isotonic drinks!

So back to the topic:

JOIN NOW!!

CamQueen of the Year!

Good luck!!

p/s: There are already 350 participants before I even posted this blog entry... Wah it's getting so much traction!! Even got well-known bloggers taking part! Some of the before and after shots have really drastic differences so you can just go look-see even if you don't wanna take part. Very interesting!

For c1000

This is without any make up except for eyelash extensions, which I couldn't remove since they are semi permanent.

Put in coloured contacts and applying two-way cake foundation.

Tip 1: Contacts make a huge difference to eyes so you should always wear them!! Check the diameter before buying, anything more than 14.5 enlarges your irises!

Tip 2: I apply foundation on my lips so as to conceal any unevenness in colour before applying lipstick.

This is after drawing eyebrows and applying bronzer

Tip 3: When drawing eyebrows you can use the pencil to shade your nose bridge, like I did. Just remember to smudge it out so it looks natural!

Tip 4: Bronzer helps give a healthy glow! I love it!

Eye make up done!! Put on brown liquid eyeliner, a white highlighter eyeshadow, and stuck on lower eyelashes. Also added some glitter liner under the eyes for the striking effect!

Tip 5: Lower lashes instantly makes you look for dolly! In Japan now the trend to stick them a little apart from your real lashes at the eye ends, so it gives you smiley, kind-looking eyes.

This is how the eye make up looks, really simple.

After applying blusher and lip colour. Used a pink tone blusher and for lips, first applied a light pale pink all over, then a darker pink gloss focusing on the center of the lips.

Ways to get back your long, lustrous hair!

Hello!! I am here to give you tips on
how to make your hair chioer!!!!

The questions I get asked the most in real life are ALWAYS related to my hair. Is it real? How do you bleach it? How come it's so long and still quite healthy?

I'm totally happy with my hair now because DESPITE being bleached every single month, it is HEALTHIER than it was when I had brown hair!! It's totally shiny and I'm in love with it!! Of course, it's not perfect - but I've never met another bleached blonde who has longer and shinier hair than me! If you wanna know why my hair is so well-nourished...

It's all about caring for the last 15cm!

Q: Why is caring for the last 15cm so important?

A: Coz there is no need to trim your hair anymore!

Let's face it... Most of us girls want super healthy luscious long locks because it compliments the female form the best!

Long swishy hair is super sexy!

However... Most of us resort to regular trimming to get healthy hair ends. The end result? We can't get the long hair we want and it keeps remaining at an annoying shoulder length.

So if you have taken good care of your hair ends, your hair will not need to be trimmed anymore, and you can get the hair length you've always desired!

Qns: Why does the last 15cm need more care then?

Ans no. 1: Your hair ends are senior citizens!

Hair grows at 1.25cm per month, which means it takes 1 year to grow a full 15cm!!

So imagine if you have shoulder-length hair, your hair ends should be about 2 years older than your roots.

Since I have waist length hair I think my ends are about 4-5 years old!!

Maybe I should bake my hair ends a cake.

Ans no. 2: The last 15 cm is pretty much burnt from tonging!

Flat irons or curling tongs usually go up to about 175 degrees.

This is the same temperature used by our clothes dryer to wring out moisture from wet laundry!! Super hot lah!!

So of course this will lead to hair damage!

Compared to hair at your crown, your hair ends have been through a lot! They are the oldest and have been 'tormented' the most by various hair procedures such as dyeing, tonging or perming.

Hair fact of life: Hair "processing" takes up 60% of a year!

Females in general spend an average of about 2 hours a week just washing, blow drying and styling their hair. Erm, I think this seems inaccurate coz I think I spend a lot more than 2 hours a week wtf.

Anyway, if that statistic is right for you, it means by the time we reach 65, we'd have spent more than 7 months of our lives on HAIR!!!

Giving equal care and attention to your roots and ends simply won't work because your hair ends need so much more attention!! If you wish to maintain or grow out your hair, special care is needed for those fragile ends.

There is a hair care range made
specially for the last 15 cm! ;)

And it's ESSENTIAL DAMAGE CARE!!

If it's able to repair the most damaged 15 cm, it is definitely good enough for the rest of your hair ;)

Shampoo and conditioning everyday is not enough! For advance care treatment options, be sure to put on the Hair Mask and Hair Essense!

To use the hair mask, be sure to apply an appropriate amount on hair ends after shampooing, and rinse off thoroughly! I try to use it at least twice a week :)

As for Hair Essense, I'm freaking in love with the Rich Premier Lotion coz it really really untangles my hair and makes it baby soft! The serum, of course, smoothens out frizz and adds glamourous shine :D

Real easy to use too, just apply on damp or dry hair and watch the products do their thing. Somemore they are totally affordable!

Let's get pretty hair!!!

Essential's range is easily available at supermarkets and drugstores in Singapore. And affordable too!!

Nom nom for the skin

Great skin is always noticeable and even if the rest of your features are not that attractive... as long as you have beautiful skin you'd still look radiant and healthy!!

Which is why I'm always on the lookout for products to bring my skin quality from good to AWESOME!!

Some more I'm getting old -_-. Will try anything to prevent skin deterioration!

So I was real happy when I got sponsored some new Skinfood products!!

A little background - Skinfood is from Korea and they have been continually developing innovative ranges for skin, body, hair and make up products based entirely on FOOD ingredients!

When the BB cream trend exploded in Singapore, I remember Skinfood was one of the first to produce a highly raved about bb cream, the Mushroom bb cream!!

And now... Their newest range -

SKINFOOD OMIJA

From left:

Omija Whitening Tea Bag Toner (Sheets included)

Omija Whitening Emulsion

Omija Whitening Serum

Omija Whitening Mask sheet (2 masks)

(Cheek mask sheets come with teabag toner)

From left:

Omija Whitening Spot cream
Comes with the Inception totem!! LOL!
Will explain more about that later

Omija Whitening Cream

You'd notice that all the products contain the word "whitening" in them... That's coz that's what the Omija berry (plus Skinfood's patented Proprietary complexion brightening ingredients) does!!

The bright red berries are grown in Mungyeong (for Skinfood that is)... Its beneficial properties have been long utilized by the Koreans most commonly in the form of Omija tea.

Many girls in Singapore, I've noticed, are obsessed over fair skin!! I myself prefer to have a golden tan but I still use whitening products because I want BRIGHTER skin. Great skin always looks radiant, whether tan or fair!

The stellar product of the Skinfood Omija range is definitely the Teabag Toner!!

The super cute bottle comes attached with a teabag filled with Omija goodness!!

Here's how to use it:

First, after opening the metal lid you'd notice another unique cap on the toner bottle - it has a small tab on it, and can be screwed open to reveal a wider bottle opening!

Of course, remember to shake the bottle before opening the small tab ;)

Review: The toner smells really pleasant and is very refreshing! I've always loved toners because they give you cleaner skin and smaller pores and moisturizes... However, some toners, I feel, dries out skin but this one doesn't!

Plus it's totally fun to dip the teabag lol. I feel it's such a waste to throw away the teabag after that though... Maybe I should have used it to make Omija tea?

What I love about the toner most is that it comes with 10 Cheek mask sheets!! It's great for using the toner even more intensively :)

After using the toner, my skin feels baby soft, clean, and smells nice to boot!

The other product I really liked in the range - OMIJA WHITENING SPOT CREAM!

Why?

Yes because it comes with the Nano Silver Massage Bar! How innovative!

The Nano Silver Massage Bar contains nano silver particles with superb anti-bacterial properties! I don't know what nano silver particles but they sound good!

After using the massage bar, I'm a convert!! I'd never use my fingers to apply creams anymore!! It feels so good giving your face a massage and at the same time delivering the goodness of the cream deeper into your skin.

I'm also convinced it makes my face thinner! Massage away the fats! LOL Although I don't know if this is true lah...

The whitening spot cream itself is used to visibly lighten even the most stubborn spots to give you a flawless look!!

Pigmentation is horrible and I hate it!! It makes your skin look so dull! Now I have something to fight them with hehehe. I've also realised that the spot cream works as a great moisturizer too!

Unwrap the yummeh

Got invited to try out Pizza Hut's new creation - yummy pasta wrapped up and baked in parchment paper!!

Really got to give it to them for creativity!! Already established for having yummy pizza, they are now out to conquer the pasta world too!

Firstly, why parchment?

Because the paper-wrapped pasta has the effect of sealing all the aroma and flavour of the ingredients within, and they are not escaping till you open the parchment up in front of you!

As a result, before you even eat anything you get to inhale such seductive, delicious scents!!

The pasta, of course, would be even richer than usual in taste!

The little package in red is Spicy Seafood Parchment, $12.90, and the
white is Char-grilled Chicken Parchment, $11,90.

Totally affordable!!

Comes with a cute little peg - am I parchment pasta too if I do this?

But before I show you the insides of those curious piping hot bundles, the peeps from Pizza Hut of course ~~spoilt~~ fed us with appetizers first!

Here's my drink! I think it's called Berry Sparkle and costs $3.80 only!

It's a strawberry soda with syrup at the bottom (needs to be mixed in) with strawberry bits!! LOVE IT! Will order it for sure next time I go to Pizza Hut.

4pcs Chicken riblets: $5.80

Looks almost exactly like normal chicken wings but it's ribs!! Yummy max!

Now for the parchment pasta!!!

Unwrapping the char-grilled chicken parchment pasta...

Tadah!!

Ok I agree the appearance lacks appeal because it's been wrapped up so of course it's a little "flattened".

So here's a better photo courtesy of Pizza Hut!

But don't judge food by its appearance! ;)

Time to indulge!

The sauce is creamy, buttery and has a hint of garlic... Best thing about the pasta is that it's super value for money at $11.90!! You get huge chunks of roasted chicken... The skin is so delicious :D

And the dish comes with turkey bacon, fresh button mushrooms and capiscums! Well not a fan of the capsicums but I do love the bacon which adds more character to the dish, and of course the mushrooms are the bomb.

Also note that my pasta doesn't come with parsley because I requested for that. By default the pasta DOES come with parsley though so remember to request to not have that added if you don't like it!

Next up: Spicy Seafood Parchment, $12.90!!

I'm terribly apologetic that the photos I managed to take of this dish are just horrible.

I blame my camera coz every other food blogger were using heavyass DSLRs.

Much better photo!!

This dish is also super value for money and comes with 3 large mussels, 3 big crunchy prawns and calamari!!

I actually prefer this dish to the chicken even though I usually prefer cream to tomato!!

The sauce is quite spicy with the tangy sourness of tomatoes and it just makes you wanna keep eating coz it's so tantalizing!

The seafood used is really fresh too!!

The pasta noodles are from the brand Barilla, which is my favourite high-quality pasta brand. Loves it!!

After stuffing us to the brim with parchment pasta (each of us had 2!!), the peeps from Pizza Hut insisted we have even more!!

Basil Crayfish, $12.90

Love this! The sauce is super unique and crayfish is always good :)

Baked Beefballs, $5.80

Tastes as yummy as it looks!

Curry Zazzle Baked Rice, $9.80

Definitely an Asian twist to baked rice! Curry with cheese drizzled over rice? YUMS

Dessert, of course, is the classic:

Warm Chocolate Cake with Ice Cream, $6.50.

Rich chocolate with melted chocolate inside... Satisfies everyone's sweet tooth!

I had a fun day at that day with all the other bloggers!

Thanks Pizza Hut for the treat!!

Excited to try?

Pizza Hut's parchment pastas are coming out on 25th August, 2010!!

For more information or to find the nearest Pizza Hut outlet, check out their website:

PIZZA HUT

p/s: I might learn how to cook parchment pasta too... You know why?? Coz I just realised... DON'T NEED TO WASH DISHES!!!

Shopping heaven

Was invited to take a shopping trip to Kuala Lumpur!! Since my virgin trip in 2005, which I didn't much like, I've been to KL many times afterwards and have always enjoyed myself thoroughly!!

I guess the reason why I didn't enjoy myself that much the first time round was coz:

1) Having been to only JB in Malaysia, I expected KL to be like the former. It's totally not like JB and it's a lot more cosmopolitan, and correspondingly, of course, more expensive than JB!

2) I was a poor student and didn't bring much money to spend having not expected to spend that much.

3) I didn't know where to shop or where to go!!

Thanks to Nuffnang Malaysia and the close relationship it has with Nuffnang Singapore, I sometimes get the chance to go over to KL for blog-related stuff. After a few more visits I got to know the place better, and also I really like the KL and the KL nuffnang bloggers! :D (And feel slightly ashamed of my old KL blog entry coz it DOES sound ignorant. Fine, I admit it)

Why is KL awesome as a tourist destination?

(And I am not just saying this coz this is an advert)

- The food is... I dunno... RIDICULOUSLY YUMMY!! Their hawker food beats Singaporean hawker fare hands down!! Every meal I had there is super duper nice!! Even KFC is nicer there! The most unassuming food store will serve you a delicious meal!

- If you know where to shop, everything is a steal!!

- The culture and people there are so similar to Singapore/Singaporeans... I find that endearing. At least no communication problems!

- KL is a lot more relaxed about their rules and regulations in comparison to go ol' Singapore. So can chew gum, bargain prices etc, no problem!

Enough yakking... Photos!

Flew Air Asia! And there to pick us up:

Jason and Darren - From KL!

They are part of the team who organized to bring me over. Thank you!!

And also they are the best tour guides EVER!!

First thing they asked was "Are you guys hungry?" and that's my favourite question to be asked. Besides "Would you like me to give you a million dollars?" but nobody has asked me that so far.

So the answer was YES!!! and we were on our way from the airport to DIM SUM!!

It was a gorgeous day

Must camwhore in car

Love my ring!

Done with the camwhoring. And we reach our destination!!

Mike and I ordered this ridiculously yummy drink. It's called 3 layered tea or something and it's TEA/MILK/GULA MELAKA...

The gula thing at the bottom is DA BOMB!! It tastes like gooey melted brown sugar, but also like caramel or butterscotch and it has a hint of coconut! Love it.

The tea is mad nice. MAD NICE!

Our first round of dim sum. Brought by enthusiastic waiters in a huge tray for our selection!! Pick whatever you want and it's yours!

Looks so unassuming but THAT IS THE BEST CARROT CAKE I'VE EVER HAD. Hands down. Crispy on the outside, super soft and melty on the inside.

Address:

Restoran Loong Seng
No. 50, Jalan SS2/66
47300 Petaling Jaya, Selangor
Tel: 03 78762349

Resembling blimps, we return to the hotel for a short while before meeting for lunch...

Our hotel is the super luxurious Gardens Hotel! :D (Actually we stayed on 25th but went to the top to register)

We just anyhowly picked a cafe near the hotel for lunch: Alexis bistro and wine bar.

I ordered Duck Confit salad coz I was still super full...

And that... Is also one of the best duck confit I ever had. -_-

The skin is super crispy and hot and sinful! Love it :D

How come anyhow choose one restaurant also turn out so nice one!!

Mike stuffing his face with caesar salad.

Alexis Gardens

Lot F209, First Floor
The Garden Midvalley City
Tel: 03-2287-2281

Here's the exterior of Gardens Hotel! So grand

Touristy photo

After this we proceed to PAVILION KL! (How to get there)

This is a megamall in the heart of KL city with all sorts of luxurious brands, so if you are into designer brands you can go there!!

I remember frantically looking for the newly opened Pavilion a few years ago when I was in KL, because...

THEY HAVE A HUGE TWO-STOREY JUICY COUTURE STORE!

Juicy is my favourite brand and the experience needs to be completed together with all the shamelessly pink furniture in the shop! And I don't need to go to USA to do this anymore, it is available in KL!

Didn't find anything I really wanted though...

(Yes I know there is a Juicy store in Singapore but it's really tiny and doesn't sell most of the season's items.)

After this we sat down to enjoy a fashion show...

Because it is the...

SALE SALE SALE!!!

Not only are lots of the brand names on sale, fashion shows are going on every weekend in many of the malls!! Too many to list, so if you are planning to go to KL for a shopping trip, check out the events HERE.

Models!!

Look at the crowd!! (and lol at the guy glaring at me)

Camwhoring in between models

*clap clap* Show over!!

And Cheesie came to join me... :D

She promised to bring me shopping at her favourite mall in KL, so off we went to Sungei Wang Plaza!

Again and again I've heard the comparison that Sungei Wang is like Far East Plaza... But I think like not really leh... Maybe it's just coz I'm used to Far East but I think Sungei Wang has a lot more character!!

The reason why I say it has more character is because of the people inside!! There are youngsters dressed really jappy and they really really doll up!! Even the guys!! Super interesting to watch.

However most of the mall is still filled with normal looking people lah, mostly young adults.

The exterior of the building is totally old-looking (like far east! lol) but once you walk inside it's all super trendy!

Ok I'm a bad blogger and I get easily distracted so this is the only photo I managed to take of the mall.

BECAUSE THE SHOPPING IS FANTASTIC!!

There are super a lot of shops selling all sorts of clothes, shoes, accessories, bags etc - and there are hundreds of signs everywhere exclaiming "RM 25 - 29" and true to their word, nothing in the shop costs more than 29 RINGGIT = SGD $12.40.

HEN ER XIN. I went crazy. AND SOMEMORE THE THINGS ARE NICE!!

Here's Cheesie and I eating at Delifrance after shopping... Spot the things behind me?

BULGING SHOPPING BAGS!

Behold:

Floral sundress, I think RM25 - $10 SGD... How they earn money sia?

Usamimi headband - 2 for RM10

Usamimi headband no. 2

LOVE THIS!!

Super snug fitting and comfy denim jumpsuit for RM 80 (SGD $35).
Comes with a free tee shirt (not pictured)

Somemore my boobs look so big in this picture hahaha

Cutest bubble shorts RM 28 (SGD $12)

Fake suede skirt RM25 (SGD $10)

Sungei Wang had loads of stores selling jackets like this...
Cute prints with a furry band around the hood!!

Material super comfy and nice!!!

LOVE IT MY STRAWBIE JACKET

And this is a super soft furry pink dress!! RM 28 (SGD $12) I think. Although it's not thick it's not something Sgreans usually wear so I'm gonna wear it when I go overseas!! :D

ARE YOU JEALOUS OR WHAT!!!!

Too bad Cheesie had to go for a dinner meeting otherwise I'd have stayed at Sungei Wang till it closes and still won't go lor!! Far east my a**!! Far east where got so cheap?!?!?!

I LOVE SUNGEI WANG /sobs

After this, seafood dinner with Jason and Darren:

Picking one of the restaurants along Jalan Alor.

Jason recommended this one!

(If you are hungry you better continue reading this post later)

Freaking yummilicious BABY BAMBOO CLAMS...

Bamboo clams are one of my favourite seafood choices but they are not easily available in Singapore!! The only place I know that sells it is Jumbo seafood and they only sell the adult version - one freaking clam for $8 or something, not including tax!!

This plate of bamboo clams is not expensive as I recall, and the baby version taste exactly like the adult ones lor... AND GOT SO MUCH MORE!!

SLURP

Sambal kangkong, cooked to perfection

Venison and cereal prawns

Sorry to do this to you - the freshest, juiciest stingray. So soft it melts in your mouth... And wet with lemon juice + sambal. MY GOD I WANT SOME NOW

Yes all these are available in Singapore too, but the bill is much cheaper in KL! :D

Done for the day!!! Went back to the hotel:

FOR SLEEPYTIME!!

Day 2

Woke up at 11am to a FANTASTIC view:

Got ready to meet Tim, Audrey and Cheesie for lunch!! It was dim sum again. Tim's suggestion and he didn't know we had dim sum for breakfast yesterday but I LOVE DIM SUM so I didn't tell him hehehehe

One camwhoring shot before we go

Tim + Mike

Aforementioned dim sum coming in trays like these... BEST LAH DON'T NEED TO WAIT MORE THAN 2 SECONDS FOR YOUR FOOD.

Cheesie and Audrey!! WHY ARE KL GIRLS SO SKINNY AND CUTE?? Is it the air??

This puff thing with omgsauce inside... I call it omgsauce coz I don't know what it's made of but it involves salted egg yolk and it's all warm and oozy and sweet and custardy and totally delish.

Glutinous rice + pork ribs

Two perfectly smooth, yellow egg tarts

OK I HAD ENOUGH I THINK THESE MALAYSIANS ARE TRYING TO MAKE ME FAT!!! Why everything so delicious -_-

The restaurant's name is called Jing Xuan but I don't know the address!!

After this we went to Tim's place to chill for a bit (ie roll around in my newformed fats)

Tim is showing off to Mike this PS3 game called Heavy Rain.

It's about this guy who is saving his son and you make decisions to make the game go on... Quite cool.

Meanwhile............

We girls are camwhoring!! LOL

Lousy blurry photo a distracted Tim took for us... He so enthu about the game even though he played it a million times!

Less blurry

Last of my camwhore shots I swear!!

After this, Jason and Darren brought Mike and I to 1 Utama, which had the thing I most wanted to buy back to Singapore...

Hint: It's in a pet shop!!!

It's not a sleeping, cuddled up prairie dog. AND YES THEY SELL PRAIRIE DOGS.

It's not this super cute Persian squash-faced kitten.

LOL

It's not this soft bunny...

(And photography totally allowed btw, just without flash. See what I mean by they are way more lax about rules??)

IT IS IN THE BLACK HAMMOCK.......

It's a sugar glider!!!

SUPER CUTE!!

Yes it's a camera lol

Look at this puff!! After it went back inside its cage, it peered out at us for 2 straight minutes just looking curiously - with one paw and one fluffy tail hanging out!!

It is too bad Sugar gliders are not allowed in Singapore... However, the shop we went to, Petsmore, was more than friendly and allowed their customers to interactive with their pets!!

I think KL is worth a visit just to play with the gliders omg. SO CUTE!!

Woah!! Can't believe I had so much fun in 1.5 days in KL!!

Flipping new eyes

2010-07-12T13:42:00.000-07:00

Advertorial

So it has been about 2.5 weeks since I did my eye surgery and last Tuesday I went back to remove my stitches!!

And I brought a companion with me... The Flip Mino HD camcorder!

Sleek in front, and SUPER TINY.

Customizable at the back!! Pretty or what!!

It can record 2 hours worth of videos and is super duper easy to operate. 1 click starts the recording, another click to stop.

You can watch the video you recorded on the 2 inch screen and delete it if you don't like it.

If you do, just press another button and the USB thingy pops up!! (Can also use it to hurt robbers ala switch knife I think) Insert that into your computer's USB port and drag and drop your spanking new videos!!

Talk about ease of video blogging!

Anyway the Flip camcorders are really popular in USA (I saw loads of ads when I was in Texas) but somehow video blogging doesn't seem to be the trend in Singapore. Maybe it's coz video cameras are so huge to lug around - but now you can record videos on HD with such a tiny device!

Sorry got carried away. As I was saying, I brought the Mino HD with me to JB to get my stitches removed!

And here's the resulting video:

There, for everyone who ever wanted to see me cry, haha...

The Flip Mino HD camcorder comes with pre-loaded Flipshare software, which makes emailing/uploading your videos a breeze, and even lets you edit individual clips as well as make custom movies and capture still image snapshots!

.................................................

Just to elaborate more about the removal. My friend A who removed her stitches a week before me, actually told me it would not hurt at all, so I went into the room all calm and dandy. I guess hers healed much better than mine.

My right eye, as you can see on the video, is in a much worse state than the left. The wound was still raw, the eyelid was bruised (quite badly), and worst of all, my eyeball had this 1.5cm long blood clot that is VERY VERY SCARY LOOKING.

I only managed to snap this one blurry shot of it but see the red patch on the inner eye white part? Well it goes all the way to the outer eye white part UNDER my iris.

Honestly although the photo looks horrific I wasn't really in pain, just that it looks really gross and took super long to recover.

So yeah I went into a room and it was NURSES who did the removal for me, not the doctor. The doctor didn't even fucking see me.

(Actually I have doubts that they are real nurses)

And the moment the nurse saw me, she said, "WAH WHY YOUR EYE SO RED?" Hello?? Why don't you ask your doctor that question?!

Prepare to cringe.

On my right eye, flesh somehow grew OVER the stitches. There were 2 in total on each side.

So they begin by prying my eye wide open (that already hurts plus I kept thinking it will split), and used a pair of tweezers (as shown in video) to sort of try to dig out the stitches.

I don't know if it's just the nurse's fucking ineptitude or whatever, but my wound was still raw and tender and she just kept fucking poking at me for fucking 10 mins.

I can't even begin to describe how painful this is. POKE POKE POKE POKE

And I didn't get numbing cream, no local anesthesia, nothing.

Initially since I couldn't see what she was doing (obviously), I thought she was doing something necessary and just tolerated it. Like u know, part of a process of getting it done.

After that I realised she kept doing the same thing (digging) and had no intentions of stopping because she kept FAILING to dig out my stitches!

FUCK HER LAH!

I begin to get so traumatized I started to whimper, then cry, then SOB.

I BEGGED them to stop because I couldn't take the pain anymore. I wanted to go back to gentle Dr Huang and his sophisticated equipment. I even told them just fucking leave the stitches inside and let me go, I don't care if I live with stitches forevermore.

After the "digging", this was what had to be done:

CAN YOU FUCKING IMAGINE THAT ON YOUR TENDER EYE CORNER!!

Never in my adult life have I ever cried over pain, seriously. I (think I) have a very high pain tolerance lor. Tattoos, ok. Wisdom teeth all 4 out at once... Never flinched. Brazilian waxing? Meh. Lip fillers? Child's play.

BUT THIS WAS HELL.

Even if you paid me $100,000, I will NOT go through this again, even if it means living with short, small eyes. Fuck this shit. I won't even wish this upon Plasticzilla.

I don't know how they managed to persuade me to finish up but they kept saying "Hen kuai de, yao hao le" (Almost done) and I let them.

The left eye's removal also hurt but it was not as painful as the right eye's. Tolerable, about 6/10.

And this - stitches removal for my right eye... is 9.8/10. I can only imagine how people who break their legs feel like but at least your leg only breaks once while this woman was digging in my eye non stop repeatedly for 20 whole minutes. -_-

When I stepped outside, still sobbing, one of the nurses said to me, "Oh poor thing cry until like this... You must be very scared of pain."

LIKE FUCK YOU OK!

Although she was nice and polite throughout my ordeal and I'm sure she didn't mean it in a condescending way, it was still fucking offensive because MY FUCKING PAIN was not coz of my intolerance in any way but because YOUR DOCTOR SUCKS!

I sliced open my nose, stuffed something inside and had chucks of my alars cut off (literally chunks that were thrown away)... AND THE PAIN IS NOWHERE CLOSE!

And Dr Huang is so nice and funny and gentle and he really cares about me and my nose boohoohoo *emo*

I know I asked for it by being so vain and also being totally reckless but yeah lah I totally am regretting this man!!

Eye job with shoddy china doctor: $1,600

Nose job with Dr Martin Huang: $12,000

Regret at being a cheapo: Priceless

And somemore, shittiest thing ever:

NOT MUCH DIFFERENCE FML MAXIMUM

Bottom is the before btw. I know the iris looks smaller but that's coz my fake eyelashes were more heavy in that photo.

My eyes look slightly bigger without make up but with make up is almost the same. I know I said it looks very different in my earlier blog post but I think it was only because it was so swollen!!

So yeah I am NOT going to reveal the clinic's name because I know some of you still want to go there because you are a cheapo. There is no way I'd be held responsible if you somehow blind yourself there. And as for the argument that I should reveal the clinic's name to warn people not to go, well... Too fucking bad. Who ask you still go to JB clinic to do surgery after my horror story.

Ok lah enough gore shall end my blog post with a chio photo of the recovered eyes:

Yes everything is photoshopped INCLUDING eyes.

Thank you for capturing my emo face after the removal Flip Mino HD!! I am so not gonna do plastic surgery again***!!

(*** Coz Mike banned me from doing anything else)

Interested to get the Flip Mino HD? Retail price is $349...

BUT YOU CAN GET IT AT $319 with Mine!

Flip is also available at Challenger stores,
CK tang, Airports ParisSilk, Juzz 1 (esplanade).

Many designs customizable too! Yay!
