November 23, 2015 Ena Teo Leave a comment

Hi Loves!

Strepsils’ The Right Note Competition finals took place at Bugis+, on the 30th of May, 2015. I had the pleasure to be invited to watch the finals and watch the contestants and winners croon.

Second Sunrise emerged as the unanimous winner of The Right Note Competition, winning five thousand dollars cash prize, a 3 months residency at Switch by Timbre, as well as $1,000 KBOX VIP Party Package. The rest of the finalists, Esther Lo, Rachel Chew and Julien Tardivat, Gary Song and Javin Tham and Danielle Grace Tan received $500 cash prize and $500 KBOX voucher each, as well as a certificate signed by the judges Danny Loong, Co-Founder and Chief Creative Director of Timbre Group, Kevin Doak, Sales Director of RB Singapore as well as Strepsils and The Right Note ambassador Olivia Ong.

Hosted by Jean Danker, the event saw appearances by Strepsils and The Right Note ambassador Olivia Ong and campaign judge Danny Loong. Olivia Ong performed one of her favourite song from her album Repertoire, “幸福記號” as well as a group duet, “Let It Rain” with the top 5 finalists. The top 5 finalists performed a single song each, ranging from hits by Justin Timberlake, Jessie J, Maroon 5 and more.

Second Sunrise.
A lot of people gathered to watch the contestants.
The judges!
Olivia Ong and the contestants sang a song together – I was quite surprised to find that no one uploaded a video of them singing… so I can’t embed for you to watch, nonetheless it was a great performance!

Cosentino City – innovative surfaces for architecture and design

November 22, 2015 Ena Teo Leave a comment

Hi Loves!

Remember my previous post about MTG ReFa S Carat and Plosion and this photo with the various tiles? I mentioned that I would give an introduction about Cosentino, which is the brand that produces and markets these innovative surfaces for architecture and design, so here it is!

Frankly, preparing and writing this post is quite different from my usual fashion, beauty, food & travel topics but I am happy to be doing so, because architecture & interior design is definitely a topic that I love too! 🙂

If you’re like me and haven’t heard of Cosentino, fret not, because their space here in Singapore is actually pretty new too! Cosentino City, as their showroom space in Duxton is known, only launched in November last year, so this year marks its first year. However the company and brand is way more established, read more about them here:

Cosentino Group is a global, family-owned company that produces and distributes high value innovative surfaces for architecture and design. As a leading company, Cosentino imagines and anticipates together with its customers and partners design solutions that offer value and inspiration to people’ lives. This goal is made possible by pioneering brands that are leaders in their respective segments such as Silestone®, Dekton®, Eco by Cosentino® and Sensa by Cosentino®. Technologically advanced surfaces which allow create unique designs for the home and public spaces.

The group bases its development on international expansion, an innovative research and development program, respect for the environment and sustainability, and its ongoing corporate commitment to society and the local communities where it operates, education, equality and health & safety.

Cosentino Group currently distributes its products and brands in more than 80 countries, and directly manages from its headquarters in Almeria (Spain) its own facilities in more than 20 of them. 90% of Cosentino Group’s turnover comes from international markets.

Cool, huh! I may be wrong as I don’t come from an architectural and design background, but I do feel that the Cosentino is like the Hermes brand in the architecture world. I say this because Cosentino reminds me of the private high fashion brand Hermes as both are privately owned and both have such high levels of excellence in their products. Also, beyond just marketing their products, they create such wonderful environments and also give back to society through sponsorship of artistic collaborations. In essence, brands like them inspire me!
Cosentino City’s Kitchen Showroom, is a fully functioning kitchen where cooking classes are also held at. The entire space in addition to being a showroom, is also a space for events.
Cosentino City’s show room with discussion & lounge space.
Sleek display channels integrated into the table and on screen with various tiles / surfaces. This is where Cosentino team present ideas and visual application of solutions to partners and clients. We didn’t actually see an actual presentation but I’m sure the presentations are cool, heh!
The restroom at Cosentino City is a welcomed space with the sleek design.

And we also indulged a little with a variety of Spanish food (love the link to their Spanish roots here!) from My Little Spanish Place. Although I have not been to Spain before, so I can’t tell if the food is authentic but it sure does tastes amazing and I would love to visit the restaurant soon!
Have I mentioned that I LOVE olives? Some people take the olives out of their pizzas, but I love the taste of them, especially the black ones in the pizzas! 🙂Amazing spread of food~
And we also heard a little sharing about Spanish White and Red Wines, Paco & Lola & Paco.
Then we heard a presentation from the Cosentino team! We watched video presentations about their works and art collaborations/sponsorship, which gets me because I’m/was an art student, hahaha. And watching the snippets of Italy made me miss my times as an art student, touring Italy so much. T_T

Before I start crying as I reminisce the old times, let me share more sleek visuals of Cosentino projects and applications!
Dekton was applied in the outdoor exteriors of Baku Airport

Material: Dekton® by Cosentino
Application: Exterior flooring

Name: Baku Heydar Aliyev Airport
Location: Baku Heydar Aliyev International Airport, (Azerbaijan)
Opening Date: April 2014

Total surface area of the renovation: 4,300m2. (Total surface area is 65,000 m2 for the overall airport terminal).

Cosentino surfaces in washrooms & living spaces.
Swedish bathroom producer Svedbergs has selected Dekton in four of their Scandinavian style bathroom designs.

The four bathroom concepts – Front, DK, Stil and SiD all differ in expression and function but unite in its remarkable quality and design function.

Dekton’s high resistance to heat, scratches and stains makes it the perfect worktop material for bathroom design.

Cosentino’s ultra-compact surface Dekton is available as a worktop in the colours Danae, Sirocco, and Sirus.

Thank you Cosentino Singapore & Touch PR for the lovely evening!

When the time comes that I get to choose innovative surfaces for a building or space, I will definitely keep Cosentino in mind! 😀

Singapore Fashion Week 2015 Recap

November 22, 2015 Ena Teo Leave a comment

Hi loves!

Well you’ve probably seen my IG updates from months back when I attended a few shows from Singapore Fashion Week, mostly the young designers show, namely LASALLE Graduation show & Harpers Bazaar Next Gen show. Also attended the Star Creation & Zalora shows but did not manage to snap any nice photos so there’s none from those shows for this post~ 😛

While I definitely enjoyed both LASALLE Grad show and Harpers Bazaar Next Gen show – I find that LASALLE show designs focused more on artistic concepts & were more explorative, understandably as it’s an arts school (and my Alma mater, where I studied Fashion Media & Industries, majoring in Management), while Harpers’ show designs were a lot more “commercialized”, collections that look like they already belonged in the store. There’s no critical judgement from me either ways, as I would love to have pieces from select designers (you’ll know which from my comments/captions below, heh) from both shows in my wardrobe!

Alright, enough with my introductions~ Loving my make up for the day, hence the slew of selfies, heh. Am missing my hair from those days before I bleached it. Lol.
Getting ready to meet my inspiration, Miroslava Duma. In case you don’t know her, she was a fashion magazine editor, currently a street style icon and founder of buro247.com – which is now present in more than 7-8 countries featuring luxury fashion and lifestyle topics. She’s extremely well connected, business minded and savvy! While she still look like a teenager, she’s in her thirties and she has 2 kids! Don’t ask me how she does it!

Met up with Sifra my LASALLE school mate & Smita for the talk!
The emcee did such a bad job honestly. Her questions were so bad, some didn’t even make sense. It would have been much better if Duma and Dion Lee interviewed each other. It was such a waste that we did not get to hear more from the two of them as the questions were a waste of time/did not make sense.Nonetheless, with the little that was shared, it was inspiring to hear from Duma, who shared about having good work ethics – you’ve got to work for it, don’t expect things to drop down from the sky!
And got a pic with her!!! <3 Thanks to Smita! <3

And some ootds at LASALLE~We headed to Providore at Mandarin Gallery for some drinks. I had flat white, they had this pineapple cocktail which was good too!
Snapped a pic of this dude with this crazy and cool tiger head bag.

Headed to Chez Vous to get my hair done for Star Creation later in the evening. Belatedly realize that I should have gone for sleek back hair since I was wearing a rather edgy dress. Ohwells!
With cuties Q-li & Jem whom I met at SFW!

Day 2 of SFW, decided to have my hair done at the salon near my place before heading down!

Before getting my hair done…

While getting my hair done by Shiro.

And after it’s done, selfie taken on the cab! Decided to go for a very defined and red carpet-style hair and makeup look. Sleek hair back is actually no longer on trend since it’s been done 2-3 years back, but who cares as long as I like the look, heh!

Starting with the LASALLE Fashion graduation show – fashion students’ names as captured on the photos:
I love the vibrant, contrasting yet complementary colours in this collection! Super love this outfit! Want the entire look!

Not exactly high fashion runway quality, and it reminds me of Japanese Manga “Naruto” but there’s something cool about this sporty chic meets Asian royalty prints collection that I like.

Blur pic, but shows designer name Hwang Jun.A clearer shot. My friend, Chua YingHui’s (went to Japan together on a school trip, you can read about the trip on my blog) prints. Collection fit for the fashionable boys! I would wear these prints too!

OOTDs.
And Hair of the day! Met up with our fashion tutors post show.
And Fenny~
With Belle~

On to Harpers Bazaar show! With the editor & emcee. Photo taken by me, nice right? 😛 Didn’t get good shots of the winner’s collection by Silvia Teh. Inspired by Japanese culture, her collection won the judges over. I realize that in general, fashion collection with Japan inspired collections tend to do well. I really like Ha Hong Lam’s magic mushroom inspired prints and elegant designs.
With Circe & Lionel, our LASALLE fashion dept head & tutor respectively!With Clozette gals Cass, Anico, Kersie & Smita~Ended the day at Genki Sushi with dear Belle. Food here is so good, and it’s so cute that they serve you the plates on a train~ I wanna go back!

Depend GelLack Start Kit for Safe & Easy Gelish Nails

November 22, 2015 Ena Teo Leave a comment

Hi Loves!

Are you a gelish nail fan? Ever wished you could apply gelish nails in the comfort of your home at your own time and pace, without having to book a slot at your usual nail salon? Or wished that you can enjoy the longevity of gelish nails without damaging your nails with all that buffing? Well, now your wishes are fulfilled with Depend’s GelLack home salon kit!

Depend GelLack Start Kit

Comes with before/after cleanser, base coat, top coat, orange wood cuticle stick, nail file and an LED Lamp, to be used with GelLack colour (sold separately) for a high shine finish that lasts 2-3weeks. The LED lamp is easy to use and comes equipped with a timer – both stregthens and dries the nails within minutes, leaving an extremely durable surface.

Additional benefits of the Depend GelLack system:

1. Most gel nail application requires the surface to be buffed first, resulting in thinning and brittleness of the nails. However, GelLack doesn’t require buffing, as curing the polish under the LED lamp smoothens it out to achieve a shiny, ridgeless look (also good news for people who cannot paint nails very evenly with their non-dominant hand). Since it is equipped with an LED lamp and not a UV lamp, the curing and drying process is quicker (30 seconds) and kinder to the nails.

2. Plus, once the nail polish is cured, there is no drying time (YES, THE BEST!).

3. The removal process is the key highlight of GelLack’s system, as it requires only GelLack’s Remover Oil and warm water. Most (if not all) gel nail removal requires an acetone soak, which dehydrates the nails. The remaining polish is literally scraped and buffed off, which usually leads to damaged, brittle nails. However, GelLack only requires you to massage the oil into the nails, after which you place the nails in warm water (about 40 degrees) for about 5 minutes or so (depending on how long your manicure has been left on. If you’ve left on the manicure for less than three weeks, leave it in warm water for 7 – 10 minutes) and the nail polish can be peeled off with your fingers or with a cuticle stick, causing no damage to the surface.

4. If there is an event in which your current gel nails don’t match your outfit, you can paint them over with regular nail polish and remove it afterwards with acetone – the gel nails will not be affected! 🙂

Depend GelLack Start Kit retails at Watsons for S$99.00 and additional colours at S$13.90 each. Highly recommended for gelish nails lovers!

Watch Depend GelLack How To Video here:

Watch How To Remove GelLack video (in Swedish, but you can watch and follow the steps) here:

Thank you Depend Cosmetics Singapore and Chen Ting of Mediaflair comms for the kit for review! It’s taking me forever to actually get down to reviewing the kit as I’m usually with gelish nails, but I will update again either on the blog or on my IG once I have tried the kit!

Hearts & Lights Aglow this Christmas at ION Orchard

November 13, 2015 Ena Teo Leave a comment

Hi Loves~

I was at ION Orchard’s media breakfast the other morning and my heart was warmed to hear about their Christmas initiatives!

In a nutshell, ION Orchard celebrates the season of giving in partnership with a dozen designer brands as part of its efforts to give back to the less privileged.

To mark the festivities, there will be 12 Christmas trees specially designed by key brands at ION Orchard; customised gift wrapping paper jointly designed by special needs students; and the mall’s outdoor space, ION² will be transformed into a glittering Christmas Garden.

The 12 designer trees of Christmas for charity

In a unique collaboration, 12 brands at ION Orchard will each offer its interpretation of Christmas with a specially designed exquisite 2.4-metre-tall Christmas tree. They are Alice + Olivia, Braun Büffel, Buben & Zorweg, Cortina Watch, Crate & Barrel, Diane Von Furstenberg, Ermenegildo Zegna, Kurt Geiger, Kwanpen, Moncler, Parfums Christian Dior and TWG Tea.

The trees will be central to the mall’s fund-raising activities for Christmas, inspiring ION Orchard VIP members and loyal shoppers to open up their hearts and put in bids to adopt the tree or trees of their choice by using the iPad next to each tree. Bids start at S$8,000, with the highest bidder getting adoption and naming rights for each tree of their choice plus a token of appreciation from the respective brands and ION Orchard.

ION Orchard’s traditional 20-metre outdoor tree will be given a sparkling makeover in the mall’s first partnership with Swarovski. It will be adorned with more than 28,000 crystals while its cavernous walk-in interior will dazzle visitors with a kaleidoscope of lights, mirrored ceilings and a rotating chandelier. This is also Swarovski’s first outdoor Christmas tree in Singapore.

At the heart of ION Orchard’s festive celebrations will be a series of fundraising activities to benefit the Community Chest, with proceeds going to the Rainbow Centre Yishun Park School.

In a partnership with NETS, shoppers can also make direct donations at several donation points near concierge counters at Basement 3 and, Levels 1 and 4.

Funds raised will go towards helping the Rainbow Centre Yishun Park School, under the care of Community Chest. Some 350 students will benefit from the funds raised. As part of the Care & Share Movement led by Community Chest, donations received will be matched dollar-for-dollar by the Government.

In addition to raising funds for the less advantaged this season, our collaboration with Community Chest creates a platform for special needs students from Rainbow Centre Yishun Park School to showcase their creativity and imagination by designing the mall’s Christmas wrappers.

Beneficiaries from Rainbow Centre Yishun Park School will be assisting with gift wrapping at the L1 concierge on 13^thNovember from 10.30am to 12.30pm and on 14^th November from 6.00 to 8.30pm, lending a personalized touch to the mall’s gift wrapping service for its shoppers.

Outside the Swarovski Christmas tree with Sydney & Felicia~

And inside the Swarovski Christmas tree with Sydney & Felicia!

Special Christmas deals for shoppers

From 6 November 2015 to 3 January 2016, ION Orchard is sweetening its Christmas deals with a series of festive promotions to spread the Yuletide cheer and give back to its shoppers. Spend $250 at basement floor shops and redeem a $15 voucher, while $500 spent at both basement floor and upper floor shops will entitle shoppers to a $30 voucher. Exclusive to ION Rewards members, spend at least $2,000 and receive a $100 voucher and a Moleskine notebook. Complimentary Christmas gift wrappers can be redeemed with a minimum spend of $100. Terms and conditions apply.

For more information, visit the ION Orchard website at http://www.ionorchard.com/. 😉

Thank you ION Orchard for having me at the media breakfast & Christmas trees lighting event!

Happy Christmas shopping loves!

What I wore to Digital Fashion Week

November 13, 2015 Ena Teo 1 Comment

Hi Loves!

Attended Digital Fashion Week to catch Ying The Label show with my gal pal Christabelle the other day and here’s what I wore. 🙂
Super loving this grey dress from Korean webstore Uptownholic with the ribbon details.

Caught up with the sweet Kerina from Deja fashion app – have you downloaded it yet? Follow me, @ena_teo if you have an account! 😉With Belle & her pretty mama. Using and loving my Casio TR60!!! Am loving it while I have it on loan for a blog review. Seriously, what will my life be without it? >.< #exaggerationobviously

Changed into another outfit, a wine red knit dress also from Uptownholic!
How do you like it?
And my favourite piece from my Uptownholic fashion haul has got to be this chic boots – got way too many compliments and questions where to get it! I love how it looks and feels – comfy!

Retro Days with MAC Wash & Dry Collection & Huggable Lips Collection

November 12, 2015 Ena Teo Leave a comment

Hi Loves!

I may profess to be beauty junkie, but my level is no where near MAC’s. What do I mean? I mean they launch some 3-4 collections a month, (yes that’s about 1 a week, or sometimes simultaneously they launch 4 collections in a month). So by the time you’re reading this, the collections here are most probably sold out, since my blog posts are mostly belated reviews, heh. Nonetheless, some of the key basics like the foundations would still be there, and if you’re in love in sometime LE featured here, you can try it to find it on Amazon or Carousell! If all else fails… Visit the shop to ask for similar colours, or buy something new from their current collections. 😉

Anyhoo, read on to check out what went down in store on the day Smita and I went to check out Beno (MAC’s makeup artist) working magic on the model with Wash & Dry collection and of course also checking out the then new Huggable Lips collection. 😀

Beno highly recommends this as a skin prep all over the face before foundation. He says this is particularly good for models when they come in with dull skin, it helps to perk, brighten and hydrate their skin.

Beno also swears by Lightful C softening lotion(toner), a rather new product launched this year, Beno says that this product with Vit C helps to brighten the skin.

Beno applied Pro Longwear Nourishing Waterproof foundation on the model with a brush.
Already with a bright pop or green eyeliner on, Beno applies a more subdued lip colour on the model.

From the Huggable Lips collection.

Enhancing the eyeliner. Now checking out the Wet & Dry collection. I love the psychedelic coloured packaging! Super gorgeous and trendy orange and golds.Smita lovesss the highlighter Beno applied on her.

And the super gorgeous Wash & Dry collection. Really love the 2 face foundation brush.

Now on to the Huggable Lips collection! These lipsticks are amazing. They give your lips a very bouncy feel and wet look. I have no idea how that is huggable. And I super love the sleek lip bullet, a change compared to the usual MAC lip bullets. Much prefer this actually! With the super cute bear mascot!

And the MAC makeup expert Beno, follow him on IG @benolim!

I love the nude colour Soft Talkin’ and #MLBB (my lips but better) colour in All In.
Thank you Smita for the invite and MAC Cosmetics Singapore for having us! Also be sure to check out Smita’s beauty blog here, you’ll learn tons of expert tips from her too!

*Bonus Round* lol

Otw to meet Smita, feeling camera trigger happy. Also love the ombre lips I did for the day! 😛With Smitaaa <3

My omelette at Paul’s.

Smita’s Beef Tar Tar.

So I left/dropped my wallet at Paul’s Takashimaya and the staff kept it for me. THANK GOD. Awesome food and staff here, definitely will go back again. <3

So we walked around Sephora and chanced upon the launch of Makeupstore’s Artist Plexi Gloss/lipgloss and I won the sample set and a pouch and a lip over. #Blessed. It’s true I am very blessed at winning lucky dips.

Here we are with our lip overs. I chose a bright red and I do love the lip gloss that gave very good hydrating and pigmented coverage without the typical sticky feeling.

Hope you enjoyed this post! Follow me on IG @ena_teo for my updates! 😉

Chat away with super cute LINE SG50 stickers!

November 12, 2015 Ena Teo Leave a comment

Hi Loves!

Another #throwback post today! So I was invited for LINE’s SG50 sticker set launch party a few months back and it was really cute fun hanging with LINE mascots Brown (brown bear) & Cony (white rabbit) and with my lovely blogger friend Sydney!

In case you have no idea what LINE is, it’s a messaging app from Korea and they legit have the cutest stickers. Of course they have a close competitor Kakao Talk and in the past I actually had both but now I only have LINE and not because I’m chatting up any cute Oppas or Dongsengs or Ullsangs but because I love playing LINE apps. #TrueStory Although now the only game I’m still playing is Tsum Tsum and even that I have stopped for a few months and only logged in a few days ago and SUPER SAD that they reformatted (probably because of my Iphone OS upgrade?!) and I LOST all my previously acquired Tsum Tsums and levels. T_T

Anyways… What I am trying to say is… If you have not downloaded LINE and LINE’s Tsum Tsum you should try it out… but if you’re hooked/addicted, pls do not blame it on me. 😛

Coming back to the post at hand, the launch event was held sometime in May at Fullerton Bay Hotel, I LOVE. SO PRETTY. #PossibleWeddingSpot #StillSingleWhoAmIKidding #WhereIsTheLoveOfMyLife And well, you’ll see the super local and kind of cute sticker set below, which I think is limited edition and I don’t see them available on the LINE app anyway, SORRY GUYS. But there are tons of NEW, cute and free stickers to download now! 🙂
This Sally the LINE Duck balloon is INCREDIBLE. It’s still very much “alive” and full in my bedroom as I am typing this despite the months. I love it too much to throw it away. I have a soft spot for ducks, seriously.With sweetie pie Sydney.

Sorry guys it’s only available until Sep 2015. I am a terrible, procrastinating blogger. THAT IS WHY you should follow me on IG @ena_teo where I am much more updated. Not instant (not always) but much more updated. Yes. And all the cute-sy collectibles!

Thank you WOM PR and LINE SG for having me!

My First F1 Experience

November 12, 2015 Ena Teo Leave a comment

It’s been a while since I’ve done a #throwback post, you could say that it means I have been quite updated with my recent blog posts, but the truth is that while I have been blogging about the recent happenings and reviews, I actually have neglected A LOT of my older blog posts, hahaha. So much so that I’m pretty sure cobwebs would have formed over them, if they were papers lying on my desk, oops. Anyhoos, I am back on a blogging roll and I will be rolling out #throwback posts every thursdays since#ThrowbackThursdays, right? 😛 If I prove to be disciplined and roll out my blog posts as frequently as I plan to be, I hope to be able to clear all of them by the end of this year. 🙂 *fingers crossed* So how long ago are my #Throwback blog posts from? Thankfully only about 1 year plus, is that of any consolation? HAHAHA. Sorry I am amused, even by myself. #EasilyAmused

Anyhoos! Enough of the long intro, and if you’re still around despite it, let’s just drive (pun intended) in to my very 1st F1 experience, shall we?

Thanks to my friend Q for the tickets, my friend Clarabelle and I had the chance to check out F1 last year, 2014.
Before we headed to the arena/grandstand area where our seats were, we had tea, OOTD taking and shopping first. Yes, us girls and our necessary ~~distractions~~ girly time. 😛
More than a year ago, can’t believe how fast time has flown by. Still loving this outfit nonetheless! 🙂
With my babe, Clarabelle. <3 As you can see, we were both overdressed for the occasion as we got the tickets on a very last minute notice. So we did some quick shopping at H&M/Cotton On to change into more comfortable attire for F1.

Then we made our way! It was going to be a very super long walk to our grandstand seats. Zzz.

More walking. A good mix of locals and touristy crowd.

Obligatory shot with the handsome cars? Checked!
Still wish that it was a clear glass instead of these ugly fences.
Better shot! I am still impressed that people actually drive these cars in F1 when they look like the bigger versions of toy cars.

One of the spots where live shows are held during off F1 car racing periods. But we didn’t actually catch any, unfortunately!

FINALLY got to our grandstand seats… after what was about 30 minutes of walking through tunnels and stairs and paths. And we were seated for less than 10 minutes before the races ended of the night… LOL. No kidding.Panoramic view of the race track!
Honestly I could not(still cannot) understand the appeal of being seated at the grandstands when the cars just keep zooming by… They don’t even stay long enough for you to admire the car or the racer. I think these people are invested because they follow the news/racers/cars and enjoy just being in the actual area and experience the thick of the exciting atmosphere and hear the applause and sighs at the end of the night – depending if the racer/car they support won or lost. But if you ask me, I would very much prefer to watch/follow the race from the screen. So going to F1 would probably appeal more to me if it was to catch one of the famous stars/singers performing pre/post F1 show. AND the sad thing was it was raining super duper heavily after the race and we didn’t have any umbrellas so we missed Robbie William’s concert. T_T #Cries
Yet another long walk to the exit.
It was pretty cool to be able to walk on the race track after the race ended.
Being stuck at one of the MRT paths due to the rain.

All in the all, I definitely enjoyed my first F1 race experience, but I was probably not properly prepped and also didn’t maximize my ticket. I definitely advise you to find out the race details – racer/car line up for the day and figure who you’re rooting for and why, be comfortably dress in something light for Singapore’s ridiculously humid weather and last and probably the most important (for me at least, lol) bring a raincoat for when it rains so you can still catch whatever awesome concert is happening after. 😉

Thanks again to Q for the tickets and to Clarabelle for being such fun company! <3

Stylista Korean Beauty & Fashion Workshop

October 25, 2015 Ena Teo Leave a comment

Hi Loves!

2 weeks ago, Stylista squad held our first Korean Beauty & Fashion workshop and here’s what went down!

Thanks to our location sponsor Park Regis Singapore, we held a cosy and intimate workshop session at their Melbourn Room on level 2. I recommend this hotel for business travellers as it’s conveniently located 5 min away from Clark Quay MRT station, plus you can also enjoy the night life nearby after work. It’s also great for a local staycation over the weekends as it’s newly refurbished and fully equipped with swimming pool, gym and dining restaurants.
Before the event took place, we had a quick tour around the hotel and it’s lovely! Once entering the hotel at ground floor, you’ll find seating spaces, restaurant and bar to hang out and chill.
At the check in lobby, you’ll find free flow refreshment drink and a long counter that comes with seats to cater to the business travellers that come in from long haul flights.

There are 202 rooms and they come in 4 types; Park, Merchant, Quay & Regis (Suites). Park and Merchant are the standard rooms, with Park facing the office buildings while Merchant has a view of Clark Quay. Quay rooms are on the second floor with direct exit to the pool. Regis refer to the exclusive suite rooms.

Exit from Quay room, with direct access to the pool.

Regis rooms are suite rooms located from the 2nd to the 7th floor, they are bigger and some come with attached balcony, as in the one above that we viewed.

After the tour, we got back to the function room to prepare for the event. Thanks to Floral Garage Singapore for sponsoring the floral arrangements for the table setting and baby breaths for our attendees’ goodie bag!

Visit Floral Garage SG’s site here for floral bouquets starting from $29.90!

After preparing the goodie bags, attendees started filling up the seats and it was time to begin! The workshop started off with a skincare segment with Atlas Medical Clinic’s new skincare range, here we have our lovely attendees testing out the products during the demonstration led by Vinna.

Next up, we shared about key Korean skincare and makeup looks, trends and tips using our makeup partner, LANEIGE products.

Following which, Alene and I shared about Korean fashion trends, culture and tips and we invited our friend Sydney and founder of fashion label, Style Of Leda to share about the brand and inspiration behind it.

We also had the pleasure to hear from Lorraine, co-founder of Atlas Medical Clinic and Atlas Medispa about Korean facial and skincare technologies.After Lorraine’s sharing, the workshop portion ended and everyone was free to mingle, ask questions and check out the booths by Atlas Medispa & Style of Leda.
A big THANK YOU to everyone who came down to spend a lovely Sunday afternoon with all of us and making our very first Stylista workshop such a sweet memory! We hope that all of you learnt a thing or two about Korean beauty and fashion trends, enjoyed the session and will make full use of the items and vouchers from the goodie bag!

Not forgetting our hair sponsor Chez Vous for the hair services vouchers, Polished Hand + Foot Spa for mani+pedi vouchers as well as Kenny Bite Production for capturing the event happenings!

Last but not the least, the event would not have been possible without my squad and fellow bloggers: Celine, Vinna & Alene.

Alene

With a heart full of love and gratitude, I’d like to also give special thanks to my sisters & friends Jia Hui, Lu Jia, Ying Ling, Christabelle, Clarabelle, Leanne, Smita and Leon. Thank you for your prayers and encouragements. Thank you Jesus that you’ve made it all possible. It hasn’t been an easy journey to organize and prepare for an event like this for the first time but it’s made possible because everything fell into place with thanks to our sponsors and in accordance to God’s perfect timing. The Stylista squad definitely has a lot to improve on and we’ve definitely learnt a lot from this. If there’s only one thing you can take away from my post today, I hope it’s this:

You will never be fully prepared to fulfil your goals. Whether you fail or succeed, the act of taking a risk will stretch you. And it’s in taking that step of faith, out of your comfort zone that you will learn much and be closer to your goals. Don’t stop dreaming and never give up. One day you’ll look back and be thankful that you didn’t give up.

If you haven’t, be sure to follow me on IG @ena_teo for my updates!

Achieve Clearer, Brighter Skin with Atlas Medical Korean Triple Translucent Skin Trio

October 21, 2015 Ena Teo Leave a comment

Hi Loves!

Feels like it’s been a while since I last blogged about a facial review. I experienced the treatments a few months back, now that I finally find the time, I’m very excited to share about my experience with Atlas Medical Clinic/Medispa’s Korean Triple Translucent Skin Trio, aka Korean Skin Trio!

Atlas Medicial Clinic’s Korean Translucent Skin Trio consists of:
1. Revlite Laser Toning by Doctor SM Yuen
2. Aqua Radiance Medical Grade Facial
3. Korean Intense Moisture Mask
and it costs $128(inclusive GST)

You can also enjoy a similar Skin Trio treatment at Atlas Medispa, with the following steps:
1. Silk Peel
2. VPL, Variable Pulse Light Treatment
3. Hydrating Mask

Do note that a pre-assessment is needed prior to the treatment.

So I tried out 2 sessions of Revlite Laser Toning by Doctor SM Yuen and I love it! It was my very first time going through any laser toning or treatment of sorts and I was very happy to be under the good hands of Dr SM Yuen and team! If you’re like me and have never tried Revlite Laser Toning before, let me explain my experience~

After cleansing the face, one of the Atlas Medical Clinic attentive Skincare Therapist will prepare you and have your hair pulled and secured back with a white head band. Then the doctor is called in and he will gently speak to you and prepare you if it’s your first time going through laser. He explains that the laser is similar to a warm light and at the most, it shouldn’t feel more then an ant bite. Plus, there is a light air tube that blows cold air concurrently with the Revlite laser treatment which helps to distract and sooth any discomfort. There might be some slight burnt scent as it’s the laser burning away facial hairs, it’s perfectly normal and not detrimental.

I definitely enjoyed both Revlite Laser Toning sessions and love the clearing and brightening effect it has on my skin after. Check out the photos I took during and after the Revlite Laser Toning sessions!

After my first Revlite Laser Toning session. A few days after the first Revlite Laser Toning session, my skin’s clearer, brighter and make up applies on smoother.

Another photo after my first Revlite Laser Toning session.

Went back for my second Revlite Laser Toning Session, I think I was pretty much experiencing my best(albeit slightly tired) skin in my entire life, with little to no pimples because of the right combination of hydrating skincare, supplements, facials, laser treatments and healthy lifestyle. ^^

A few days after the second Revlite Laser Toning session. Was actually feeling really tired, but thank God for radiant good skin thanks to the Revlite Laser Toning sessions!

Last but not the least, I also had the chance to review Atlas Medispa’s Skin Trio session, which as mentioned above, consists of the Silk Peel, VPL and mask steps which helps to remove dead skin cells, rejuvenate by hydrating and brightening the skin!

Photoworthy Captures at ION Orchard’s The Fashion Playhouse

October 21, 2015 Ena Teo Leave a comment

Hi Loves!

A few days ago I had the pleasure to visit ION Orchard’s The Fashion Playhouse with 2 Fashion Inversion rooms; one where you’ll look like you’re floating in mid air and another where you’ll look like a giant when you’re standing on the right side of the room. There’s also a Fashion Reflection room where you can lie on the floor and look like you’re on the front cover of a magazine! It’s definitely something cute, fashionable and photo-worthy.

Unfortunately, the Fashion Reflection room was not in working order the day I was there. So there’s no photos of that room.

The Fashion Playhouse opens from 11am to 8pm daily to shoppers who spend a minimum of S$80 at ION Orchard. In collaboration with the Singapore Tourism Board, ION Orchard is offering free admission for shoppers to the fashion playrooms, and all they need to do is to post at least three Instagram posts with the hashtag #IONPlayhouse and #OrchardRoad. The Fashion Playhouse will be located at ION² from 24 September to 21 October.

Contingency plans have also been put in place in light of the haze. The outdoor Fashion Playhouse will be closed if the PSI readings exceed the unhealthy range (above 150). Signs will be placed at the entrance of the Fashion Playhouse to encourage shoppers to minimise prolonged outdoor activities, or redirect shoppers accordingly.

Aside from the Fashion Playhouse, shoppers will also be inspired by the larger-than-life doll-houses on Levels 2 and 3 of ION Orchard. These carefully styled doll houses showcase the latest collections from the mall’s best-loved brands such as Bally, Diane von Furstenberg and Dsquared2 among others.

Also part of the Autumn Winter Fashion Season are a series of shopper workshops and shopping deals throughout the season, including the perfect accessory this fall – a limited edition Dian Von Furstenberg scarf – with a minimum of $1,000 spent.

Have fun checking out the Fashion Playhouses and shopping at ION Orchard! 😉

Thank you Daphne from Weber Shanwick Singapore PR for the kind invite! Also thanks to the friendly staffs on site for taking the photos for me and posing with me too! 🙂

Project Facelift: Helpling lends a helping hand to Boon Lay residents

October 7, 2015 Ena Teo Leave a comment

Hi Loves!

Today I’d like to share a guest post from my friends from Helping. I’m really happy to be sharing what they’ve done, in doing their part and contributing to society. Hope you’ll enjoy the post!

Between SG50 celebrations, a national election and battling the haze, it’s been a hectic couple of months in Singapore. With so much happening across the island, and so little time to do it all, it goes without saying that Singapore’s residents have been very busy!

But amidst all the commotion, we sometimes forget about what motivates us in the first place to do the things we do. Take Helpling, for example, which provides a platform for customers to book part-time cleaning services. The company has its beginnings as a community project to help locals in lower-income households find part-time domestic cleaning jobs. These values remain a core part of Helpling, with many of its cleaning partners from low-income households, or unable to take a full-time job because of elderly or childcare responsibilities.

So in July, Helpling contacted Boon Lay constituency’s grassroots organisers to participate in its Project Facelift. Helpling Singapore CEO Hoe Yeen Teck and his team, together with some of their cleaning partners and volunteers, spent a day cleaning the homes of low-income residents with health and mobility issues.

It was an important reminder for the staff and volunteers, especially in the 50^th year of independence, that while Singapore is an economically advanced and prosperous country, many Singaporeans could still do with support. Many of Helpling’s cleaning partners themselves come from underprivileged backgrounds, so it was doubly meaningful for them to participate in Project Facelift.

Yeen Teck said, “The most memorable part of the day was not so much the scrubbing and cleaning, but the humbling conversations we had with residents and the heartwarming stories by our cleaning partners about overcoming their own challenges.”

And it wasn’t just the Helpling staff who were touched. One of Helpling’s cleaning partners added, “I am able to relate very well to what these residents are facing. I enjoy helping others, and I am glad for this chance to give back.”

Participating in Project Facelift was a great experience for everyone involved, especially for the Helpling team to experience the values behind its service, while assisting those in need of a helping hand. You can watch the Project Facelift video below.

Helpling is an online cleaning services platform in Singapore. Hire a legal and experienced part-time cleaner through Helpling from just $18 per hour.

Thank you James & Helping for the post. Kudos and well done to team Helping for bringing smiles to the residents of Boon Lay as part of Project Facelift!

Relaxing Weekend Getaway at ParkRoyal On Pickering

September 15, 2015 Ena Teo 1 Comment

Hi Loves!

Recently I had the pleasure to indulge in a staycation at ParkRoyal on Pickering, Singapore’s first hotel in a garden. The entire stay passed like a breeze, thanks to the great service, wonderful lush atmosphere and lovely food and drinks served. My bestie Fion and I stayed at the Orchid Club Deluxe Room and enjoyed access to the Orchid Club Lounge which provides afternoon tea, cocktail and breakfast. I fell in love with the hotel’s architecture which integrates organic lines and greenery so seamlessly. All in all, I definitely recommend this place as a weekend getaway for locals and a hotel of choice for foreigners! If you’re looking for activities recommendations, check out The Ultimate Singapore Day Out web app to plan your day according to your personality. 😉

Check in counter that resembles the base of the grand canyon.
Refreshing calamansi drinks served at check in.

Wooden interior and earthy colours makes for a luxurious yet comfortable experience.Fully decked mini bar, with the bottle of wine Fion brought, heh.
Bathroom integrates with the hotel room to give a very expansive feel.Sustainable efforts even in their bottle water! <3
Really appreciate the fresh fruits!
View of the city from the comfort of our room!
After putting our bags down, we headed to the Orchid lounge on the 16th floor for afternoon tea.

Scones!

After tea, we headed to check out the pool and common facilities.

Back to the Orchid Club Lounge for cocktail & bites!
This mushroom ragu is super awesome and delicious! It’s made of eggs and flavoured mushroom and I went back for 2nd serving (and was tempted to go back for 3rd, lol)!

Then Fion and I headed out to The Central which was a stone’s throw away for some shopping! We went to shop at Naiise but I didn’t snap any photos, haha. It’s this shop that has quirky local designer lifestyle products.Watsons drugstore if you need anything!Lots of eating places available!Live performance by the Clark Quay river on a Saturday evening! We just sat down and listen for 30 minutes, soaking in the atmosphere.View as we’re walking back from The Central.Enjoying a drink that aptly describes our relationship! ^^
Changed out and ready to chill for the night!
Enjoyed our Moscato that Fion brought back from her recent Aussie trip. <3
