Pamper your hair!

Advertorial

I've been dyeing my hair even since I got out of Secondary school at 16 so it has been a good 9 years straight! (I feel so old suddenly)

And I've been bleaching my hair to almost platinum blonde for a good long time now, so naturally my hair is really damaged!!! The ends are so tangled and dry.

Many people often lament after doing hair stuff like perming, dyeing or rebonding that their hair becomes this tangled, split-ended mess.

And in their panic, they always end up cutting their hair short! Which is why you don't see that many bleached blondes with long hair, correct?

BUT! I am a believer that hair CAN and WILL be revived even when it is damaged, as long as you keep going on with hair treatments!!

So imagine how happy I was when I was invited to try out the new Essential Intensive Hair Mask treatment at a salon! (Treatments are great, and so is having someone wash your hair and massage your scalp!)

If I wasn't already happy, I'd also be cheered up upon reaching there, you know why? COZ ALL THE PRODUCTS ARE SO CHIO!!!!






Here's a seat + mirror in the salon decorated Essential style!!

Did I mention I love girly stuff???



And here I am in a princessy chair decorated with flowers!! Chio chio chio!

There is a little netbook there too, which is on Essential's website
so you can surf and not get too bored!

Go and see, the site is mad chio also:

My stellar hair mask treatment for the day, in cheery pink and orange:

ESSENTIAL NUANCE AIRY and RICH PREMIER!




Nuance Airy for limp and flat hair to be light and bouncy, Rich Premier for unruly hair to become smooth and manageable!


I've already seen Essential products in many stores and everytime it just makes me take a second look coz they are packaged so prettily!! Essential is a really established brand from Japan - no wonder their stuff are so chio!




Here's my hair stylist having a look at my fried hair ends. It is thereby recommended that I use Rich Premier!



Getting a wash first! With Essential shampoo!



Getting the mask out. Since this mask is for you to do at home, it is of course not necessary for you to use the bowl/comb. But if you have those then obviously it would be easier!





Stylist applying some for me to show me how it's done...



And here I am being clever and independent by doing it myself!!

It's really simple. Try to avoid your roots and section your hair, then rub in the hair mask!! Make sure you get the ends.

Smells really nice too. :)



See?



And done! Now I'm just waiting for 15 mins for the mask to reach its full potential.



Camwhore in the meantime...


AND DONE!!!!!!




Look! I'm one of the Essential girls! LOL



Loves it!

Hair becomes much softer, smoother
and silkier to the touch!!


The hair mask is intensive enough to effectively repair your
hair yet it doesn’t feel heavy on your hair after use. :)




Good hair days are awesome!



Here's my hair 1 day after the treatment, curled with scrunchies while I slept and with some baby oil I put on it...





Want to get fab hair??

Put on a mask today and pamper your hair!!



Essential Intensive Hair Mask is available at all major supermarkets, Watsons and beauty stores!

p/s: My bleach job and cuts are still done by my sponsor Mosche!!! Essential is for easy DIY hair treatment at home. :)

Are your eyes the next big thing?

Advertorial

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


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


GEMSTONE GREEN
.
STERLING GRAY
.
BRILLIANT BLUE


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

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








COOL HUH??

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

Like so striking you can see it from a distance!



Nice. :D


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

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

If you support the winner, you stand a chance to win Freshlook lenses worth $42!

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

A Monfae A Day!

Advertorial

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

WATCHES!!

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


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

Their quality is guaranteed to be good!

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

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

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

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


Went to their grand opening last week:






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



From blinged up dressy watches to casual ones...



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

All the straps are durable and made of real leather.



And here I am posing with a Monfae timepiece!


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

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

Here are the 4 designs Monfae sponsored me:



PINK - with a chio rose gold frame...



BROWN
- with diamantes shattered all over!



RED - Gems to tell the time



AND BLACK! With matching black Swarovski crystals.




Used the watches to match 4 different looks!

Camwhoring time!



Pink and Fluffy








Earth shades






Vivid Red







Mysterious Black






Which look is your favourite?



Monfae is located in Plaza Singapura, 2nd floor.

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

Easy peasy shopping!

Advertorial

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

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

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

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

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

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



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

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


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


VIA INTERNET SHOPPING!!


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

You can shop here:




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

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



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



With a little pop up tree...



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


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

- any Post Office

- on S.A.M machines everywhere and

- through the enclosed mail order form!






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


Mad chio bling bling Marc Ecko watch for Mike!



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



Comes with an interchangeable bezel for dressed down days too!





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




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





As for me... GUESS WATCHES!!


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






CHIO WATCHES!!


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



Behold:





Guess bangle watches in black and white.

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



Loves!



And of course, in a monochrome picture!



One more!



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

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


CLICK TO BUY: BLACK / WHITE



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




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

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






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

$189, usual price of $218!




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


Have fun shopping you guys!!
