Advertorial

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.

Bebe Poshe

Advertorial

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!

Live Mannequin for Essential!

Advertorial

A few weeks ago I was invited by to try out the new and improved Essential as a live window display mannequin at Watsons Bugis... in front of a crowd!

Crazy or what?!

Anyway I made a video out of the event so you can view it here:




I had loads of fun! More photos:



Super cute counter


Here's the glass display before the reveal.


Getting my hair washed with the new improved Essential Damage Care shampoo


The crowd! Haha you can see bff standing there helping me snap pics with my own red dslr

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

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!!


:D

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
