Search, Compare & Shop with Priceza

Hi Loves!

If you don’t already know, I’m a huge fan of online shopping. I mean, you don’t have to try the pieces and you don’t have to lug the items home. Plus, there are just so many websites to buy from. Whether you are looking for clothes, cosmetics, shoes, or electronics, there’s a website for it. But I think one of the biggest challenge is to find which website offers the best deal for what you are looking for. You end up having to go through 10 different websites to compare which one gives you the best price. What a hassle! BUT! I recently found this website, Priceza Singapore, where I can search the product I want, compare for lowest prices, and buy online!

pic 1

Priceza, in a nutshell is a price comparison website for all kinds of products such as electronics, cosmetics, groceries, and many more! This what their homepage looks like. To me, Priceza has a very friendly user interface. The first thing I notice when entering their website are the sliding banners at the top. Currently, it is featuring different popular products such as the Apple iPad, Go Pro Hero 4, and PlayStation 4. Once I click on one of them, it takes me to another page to see more details about the product.

Another thing that I notice right away are the round icons underneath the banner, which shows different categories of products that they have. They have everything from electronics, fashion items, health related products, and best of all cosmetics! If you notice on the left, the very first button is for “promotions.” Who doesn’t love a great deal? I will get to that in just a moment.

pic 2

Scrolling down further, you have a quick glance at products that are currently on sale from various categories. As you can see there is a dash camera, scarf, heels, and a baby stroller currently on special discount. You can also see which stores are offering that sale. Looks like Priceza has partnered with major websites that offer online shopping in Singapore.

Coming down a little more there is a quick preview of popular products under categories like smartphones, fashion, mother care, food, cosmetics, and even books! It seems like Priceza have compiled everything imaginable! Which gave me an idea.. let’s trying searching for something!

pic 3

Obviously, I love selfies. I mean, who doesn’t? 😛 Taking photos is pretty much my second nature, especially when cameras on smartphones these days are so advanced. So I’ve heard that Samsung Galaxy S6 is one of the best phones to take photos with, especially for selfies. So I went ahead and try to search for a Galaxy S6. I went back up to the search bar and typed in “Samsung Galaxy S6” and hit search!

pic 4

Voila, here’s what the search result looks like! Look’s like they do have the Samsung Galaxy S6 that I’m looking for. What I find frustrating in the past is that when I try to search for something, there’s a bunch of other stuff that has nothing to do with what I was trying to look for. If I look to the left side, there are also all kinds of filters that I can click to get even more specific with my search. I can filter for only the phone memory size that I want such as 32 GB Samsung Galaxy S6, or even toggle the price range.

Towards the right, there’s a lowest price listed for the Galaxy S6. Below it is a “Compare Prices” button. I went ahead and click on the button to see which stores are offering the cheapest and the most expensive price for the same phone.

pic 5

After hitting compare, this is what Priceza’s “Compare Prices” page looks like. Under the “Compare” tab, it shows 4 different websites that are competing for Samsung Galaxy S6. Currently the best price is shown at $739, while the same phone is selling for $894.99. Next to the price, there’s a button for me to go to that particular shop that I want to buy from! Easy! Instead on running around to see which store offers the best price, you can do it all right in one website.

What I like about Priceza website is that it shows the payment methods as well as the reviews of the merchants. With so many choices of online websites to buy from, I think it is really useful to read the reviews about that website before making a decision to buy. You want to make sure that your money is well spent by getting great products and services.

Not only that I could read the reviews of the merchants, but I could also click to read the reviews of the phone itself. I can write my own review for the Galaxy S6 if I want to!

pic 6

Scrolling down from the product itself are the related products section. I believe they are Samsung Galaxy S6 accessories. Below that are the “recently viewed” products. I am thinking about buying a Nike Roshe too. But leaving my guilty pleasures aside, I think this is great because I can have a little “history” to what products I was searching for. I can quickly check back to I previously looked for, in case I accidentally close the window.

pic 7

I’m curious if there’s fresh produce on sale so I went and look for some imported meat and seafood. I’m in luck! There’s a little tab for coupon on the product. So why wait? After clicking the coupon tab, ite coupon pops up with money saving details with codes that I can use to buy! I do not have to look at multiple websites to fetch the best deal, I could also save time by eliminating the process of visiting all kinds of coupon websites for a coupon code. So far I don’t see a lot of coupons yet, so I hope that they will update more coupons in the future. I think it is a really neat feature that Priceza website has if they add more coupons.

So far the website is pretty useful. There are just so many things that make my online shopping easier. Now, I’m interested in what other things that Priceza has to offer. I already know that the website has tens and thousands of products for me to search from. So, I went back to their homepage to check out if there are any other promotions that I need to take advantage of.

pic 8

After I click the button for “promotions”, here’s what the result looks like. There are many different promotions listed here. What’s convenient is that there’s an expiry date shown underneath each promotion. I always find it frustrating when I see a great promotion, but I just cannot find any information about it, especially about the date. Another great thing about this is that I no longer have to subscribe to different websites, expecting to receive promotions that ended up in the trash, or junk folder. Now I can just leave my email junk free and just check back to look at these selected promotions instead.

pic 9

I also notice that Priceza has product news and useful guides for shoppers. There’s a wide range of topics from new product releases, product recommendations, reviews, and other useful articles under “Recommended Products” from the browse menu at the top, as well as “Hot Contents” right on the homepage. Let’s check out one of their articles. Once I click on the recommended products, it takes me to their guide page. I went ahead and click on their latest article, which happens to be about a Nike Roshe. Perfect! After reading the article, there are related products that were talked about within the article as well. This Nike article also as a styling guide for Nike Roshe!

All in all, I think Priceza Singapore is a great shopping website for many reasons. It is a place where shoppers can truly make the most out of their online shopping. Instead of manually going around different websites to find prices for the things I want, Priceza lets me search, compare, and buy all in one place. The website complies amazing deals from all over Singapore online shopping platforms, as well as providing useful product reviews and buying guides to help shoppers like myself to make wise buying decisions while also getting great discounts. Time and money is no longer wasted. Online shopping becomes even more convenient with website like Priceza! Check them out at Priceza.com.sg!

Hope you find Priceza helpful as I do!

ORBIS CLEAR Skincare is Your Solution to Menstrual Acne

Hi Loves!

Don’t you just hate it when the time of the month comes and your beautiful clear skin is ruined by pesky acne? >,<#

To combat menstrual acne, ORBIS recently launched their renewed CLEAR skincare series! Honoured with the Best Basic Research Award at the 28th International Federation of Societies of Cosmetic Chemists, ORBIS’ new discovery identifies female hormones (Progesterone) as one of the factors that causes a decrease in skin resistance towards acne. A world’s first, this breakthrough established that during the female monthly cycle, an increase in progesterone causes a decrease in “antimicrobial peptides” which eventually leads to acne breakouts. Now we know why these pesky menstrual acne come about!

As such, ORBIS’ renewed CLEAR skincare series come with Gromwell Root extract, a compound that enhances the skin’s own protective functions to defend against menstrual acne. The use of herbal ingredients like Gromwell Root / Lithospermum Erythrorhizon extract (which promotes wound healing with its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects), actually multiplies the amount of antimicrobial peptides five times, making the solution highly effective in tackling menstrual acne.

In addition, when complemented with ORBIS’ signature OIL-FREE formulation, not only is the menstrual acne diminished, the overall skin also becomes firmer, smoother, more protected and moisturised with better clarity and texture – a foundation for beautiful skin.

Whilst it’s meant to combat menstrual skincare, this range is also suitable for acne in general as well as for men! Infact ORBIS products are commonly known to be unisex and I recommend their concealer for my male friends as well for their unisex packaging and branding.

ORBIS held a media launch to share more about the CLEAR series, check out the event below:

ORBIS Renewed Clear Series Blogger Review 001ORBIS Renewed Clear Series Blogger Review 002

The ORBIS CLEAR series consists of a Wash (Cleanser), Lotion & Moisturizer:

ORBIS CLEAR Wash
A bound-rich facial wash that effectively clears clogged pores, preparing the skin for active ingredient absorption. Contains Amino acid components to gently cleanse the skin

ORBIS CLEAR Lotion
A toning lotion that is effective in penetrating through to the stratum corneum layer (outermost), even in rough skin condition, and binding itself to the sebum within the pores. The result is that the ingredients of the lotion get actively absorbed deep into the pores effectively.

ORBIS CLEAR Moisture
This moisturiser with fine 0.1 micron mesh structure, effectively protects the skin from external damages, such as dryness, for a skin that is soft and hydrated.

ORBIS Renewed Clear Series Blogger Review 003

There are also masks and body lotion and wash in the range.ORBIS Renewed Clear Series Blogger Review 004

Gromwell Root Extract, the special ingredient to the range due to its anti-inflammatory effects, promotes wound healing and anti-bacterial properties.ORBIS Renewed Clear Series Blogger Review 005

ORBIS CLEAR series promises better skin protective functions and higher skin hydration.
ORBIS Renewed Clear Series Blogger Review 006

Award winning findings; during women’s period, increased progesterone causes the decrease of antimicrobial peptides which cause acne – hence by increasing antimicrobial peptides, the skin can combat menstrual better.ORBIS Renewed Clear Series Blogger Review 007

My Review

The ORBIS CLEAR Wash requires lathering to create a thick foam to gently cleanse the skin. It’s gentle yet able to cleanse thoroughly for a taut clear skin. The ORBIS CLEAR Lotion is refreshing formula that is able to remove any debris even after a second wipe down, the only set back is the light alcohol scent. My favourite of the lot is the ORBIS CLEAR Moisturizer – it’s got a watery gel consistency, applies smoothly on the skin and really keeps the skin hydrated for the whole day.

Before I knew about ORBIS CLEAR Skincare, I was more familiar with ORBIS supplements. I popped by their outlet at Robinsons after the media launch and here’s some interesting supplements I came across!ORBIS supplements 001 ORBIS supplements 002

ORBIS CLEAR Step for clear healthy skin, comes with Vit Bs and C and more to combat acne skin.ORBIS supplements 003

Slimming exercise pills that help you burn more while you exercise!ORBIS supplements 004 ORBIS supplements 005

Super cool isn’t it?

ORBIS CLEAR Wash, $20.00
ORBIS CLEAR Lotion, $23.00
ORBIS CLEAR Moisture, $26.00
ORBIS CLEAR Trial Set, $18.50
ORBIS CLEAR Powder Foundation, $28.00

Hi Loves!

Clozette held a Clozette Ambassadors KParty some time back and it was a blast! We had fun playing with LANEIGE new duo tone lip bars, selecting our gold foil tattoos, enjoying the fantastic food at Farm to Table cafe (@ 83 Duxton Road), chatting and taking pictures with fellow ambassadors and taking part in the lucky draw (which I won a TFS set because I answered a Kdrama related question correctly!

We were gifted a sample pack which I tried and it’s really good!

Indulge in Caffe B’s Delicious Yet Affordable Set Lunch @ MBS

 

Hi Loves!

A while back I feasted at Caffe B’s at Marina Bay Sands and today I’d like to share about this gem with you! 😉

Caffe B Enabalista Blog Review 014


Caffe B Enabalista Blog Review 013

Located at Marina Bay Sands #B1-15/01-83, Caffe B is a mixed Japanese and Western fusion restaurant and bar. It’s a place that’s definitely under the radar despite its lovely ambience and food. So I recommend you checking it out the next time you’re visiting MBS.  

Caffe B Enabalista Blog Review 001

The amazing thing about their Set Lunch is that it’s so affordably priced at $25+ despite the posh location and delicious food. It’s a deal you definitely want to take advantage of! Diners get to pick one each; between 2 starters, from 4 main courses and dessert comes in only 1 item. For the food tasting we got to try all of the items on the menu! Also, as it’s a media tasting, we got tasting portions for the main course (else we could not possibly try every dish) so if you’re visiting, be assured that the portions are much bigger than what you see here! 🙂Caffe B Enabalista Blog Review 002 Caffe B Enabalista Blog Review 003

The interior decor reminds me of classical roman mixed with modern western design.Caffe B Enabalista Blog Review 004

Free flow bread throughout the meal.

Potato and Prosciutto Salad
Potato and Prosciutto Ham topped with Bonito flakes, served with Mesculin tossed in Miso Vinaigrette. The potato is served soft and the dish is a great balance of savoury delight.

Chef’s Fresh Pot of the Day.Caffe B Enabalista Blog Review 007

Tuna Sake Tataki
Quick seared Tuna with Sake, served with Hash Browns, Tomato Florentine and Red PestoCaffe B Enabalista Blog Review 008

Beef Verde
Black Angus Beef drizzled with Sauce Verde, side by Edamame and Potatoes with Parsley – this dish is yummilicious! The beef was tender and juicy, highly recommended. 🙂

Caffe B Enabalista Blog Review 010

Vegetarian Pasta Alla Funggi
Spaghetti cooked Al Dente in Wild Mushroom Cream Sauce. 

Caffe B Enabalista Blog Review 009

Chicken Lasagne Parmegiano
Spinach Pasta layered with Chicken, Shitake and Eggplants covered in Bechamel Sauce, Pomodoro and Mozzarella – this lasagne is a perfect mix of pasta, ingredients and sauce, another excellent main dish that I’d recommend!

Caffe B Enabalista Blog Review 011

For desserts, we ended with Trio Profiteroles, filled with Matcha, Red Bean and Chocolate Cream which is a nice touch that reminds us of Caffe B’s Japanese influence.

Now you know where to bring your business associates for your next lunch meeting! 😉

Caffe B now has a second set lunch menu for 2015, contact them at bar@caffeb.com.sg or 6222 2329. Be sure to like them on Facebook here for news and promotions!

Discover Awesome Offers & Dining Options with OpenSnap, Your Must Have Mobile Food Guide

Hi Loves!

Well if you don’t already know, I’m a huge fan of good food… who isn’t right? 😛 I think 90% (pulling number out of thin air, btw) of Singaporean gatherings include some form of food; dining or drinks. Us Singaporeans just love our food!

unnamed opensnap

As such, I honestly can’t believe how late I am to the boat of OpenSnap, which is an amazing food guide app, truly a wonderful work of art. With this app, you’ll never have to rack your brains over where to eat in Singapore~

I mean, what good is it for me to say so much? Take a good look for yourself!

OpenSnap App Blogger Review Enabalista 001

Browse the homepage with tabs such as “Offers” and “Editor’s Pick”. I love how the app’s interface is so clean and easy to navigate!OpenSnap App Blogger Review Enabalista 002

Obviously, we’re gonna check out the Offers tab…  Do you know that OpenSnap has the  most offers in one app available, with more than 500 unique restaurants and more than 900 offers on board?! Does this interest you already? 😉

OpenSnap App Blogger Review Enabalista 003

I’m not sure how much a slice of Lady M Marron Mille Crepe usually costs, but if you’re planning to head down, why not take advantage of this offer?
OpenSnap App Blogger Review Enabalista 004

Here’s another great offer, if you’re planning to head down to Lawry’s for your family’s Father’s Day Dinner… Lawry’s at Mandarin Gallery has a very nice ambience. 🙂OpenSnap App Blogger Review Enabalista 005

If you’re a fan of trying out new places and experiences, check out OpenSnap’s list of new restaurants! I’m looking forward to try out Milk Cow, when the queue isn’t that long, heh.OpenSnap App Blogger Review Enabalista 006

This has got to be one of my favourite tabs – “Editor’s Picks”. Seriously, it’s like they read my mind and catered the top two features for me… I’m a fan of salted egg yolk and matchaaaa! OpenSnap App Blogger Review Enabalista 007

Sorry if this post is making you hungry… Look at all these wonderful salted egg yolk dishes! The best part is that these images you see above are user submitted food photos and reviews, which comes with a dish rating feature (1-5 stars rating)! This means, you can decide which popular dish to try, based on the user ratings/recommendations, how helpful!
OpenSnap App Blogger Review Enabalista 008

Another thing is how pretty the app looks visually – some of the user uploads look like they came out of the magazine… it’s like searching on Instagram with #matcha, except the quality is higher and comes with more details like price! OpenSnap App Blogger Review Enabalista 009

This, am going back for this matcha soya soft serve for sure! OpenSnap App Blogger Review Enabalista 010

Scrolling down the homepage, you’ll see more useful features such as “Cafes” and “Open Till Late”.OpenSnap App Blogger Review Enabalista 011

Now you can go totally crazy on those #CafeHopping #Saturdates!OpenSnap App Blogger Review Enabalista 012

You can find out the Best Restaurants and Dishes in Singapore.

OpenSnap App Blogger Review Enabalista 013

If you’re out of new places to check out after midnight – this feature will give you new ideas!
OpenSnap App Blogger Review Enabalista 014

Another option to filter restaurants based on Location, and in this case, I picked “Bedok”. Essentially you can search for restaurants and new food places near your location!OpenSnap App Blogger Review Enabalista 015

Similar to Instagram, you can follow cool (or should I say Food, keke) users with lots of food updates and recommendations too!

If you haven’t already, go download OpenSnap here (Android) and here (Apple)!

Thanks OpenSnap for making this review possible. 😉

Long-lasting Sophistication with Elizabeth Arden’s NEW Foundation & Matte Lipsticks

Hi Loves!

Before I dive into the new Elizabeth Arden makeup products, let me share about theElizabeth Arden skincare & make up tete-a-tete session that Clarabel & I attended, hosted by bloggers Meiting & Tricia!

We had a great time listening to them share their skincare and makeup tips.

Face Your Inner Demons // DEPRESSION Spring Summer 2015 @ DFW2014

DEPRESSION introduced their SS 2015 collection titled “Inner Demons” to much applause at Digital Fashion Week 2014. I love the womenswear in this very street style chic collection and would totes wear all of them out. DEPRESSION is arguably Singapore’s most recognisable local label and that is undoubtedly testament to the super duo Kenny & Andrew’s talent in story telling, persistent and unending efforts in introducing compelling collections every season and cross promotions with brands and celebrities. New and inspiring local designers and labels should definitely study them as a role model on how to succeed in SG and beyond. It is thus definitely well deserved that they are included in the SG50 book as one of the pride and representative of local brand and talents. Without any more further ado, check out the collection below!

Abstract Prints for Sarah Morris x Longchamp Collection

HI Loves!

Sometime back, Fenny invited me to attend Longchamp’s special Sarah Morris collection launch at their ION outlet. Sarah Morris is an abstract print designer and together with Longchamp, they created a series of bags with her prints and limited edition colours. I’m not sure if they’re still in stock, lol cause I’m posting this about half a year later, oops! Since Longchamp bags are so common nowadays, it’s nice for them to release LE bags which are more unique. Anyhoos, it was really fun attending the launch with Fenny and we had salad for dinner at Watami after! 😛Longchamp x Sarah Morris Collection Enabalista 004 Longchamp x Sarah Morris Collection Enabalista 005 Longchamp x Sarah Morris Collection Enabalista 003 Longchamp x Sarah Morris Collection Enabalista 001 Longchamp x Sarah Morris Collection Enabalista 002 Longchamp x Sarah Morris Collection Enabalista 006 Longchamp x Sarah Morris Collection Enabalista 007x

Internships: Get Paid To Pick Up Essential Skills & Knowledge

Hi Loves!

Last week I blogged about my part time job experience, read it here if you haven’t. 😉 Today, I’d like to share about my internship singapore experiences.

When I was in LASALLE, I wanted to know as much as I could about the Fashion industry in Singapore and I realized that the way I could do so was by applying and getting an internship with a local fashion company. Over the course of 2010-2012, I took up several internship / paid positions with various companies; including a backstage stint with Blueprint Fashion Tradeshow, as well as an admin and accounts assistant with Club21, a multi-label retailer in Singapore.

Through these internships in singapore, I got to meet many local designers of local brands, such as Depression and Revasseur and international brands such as Timo Weiland. I also learnt first hand that the cliche is completely true: Fashion is a lot of glitter and glam on stage and on camera, but it’s a lot of hard work, grit, sweat, long hours behind the scenes and many years before you see the light of day as an established designer/brand/marketer.

With Andrew of Depression in 2014 during Sects Shop Opening (as a guest, not an intern, haha)

Many people always ask me how I ended up in the real estate industry as a property agent when I was studying Fashion Media & Industries in LASALLE. And it’s no secret, really. The reason is because my friend Valerie’s recommended me for a marketing internship with a local real estate developer company, back in 2011 when I was still studying and that opened the doors for me into the property world.

It was during my internship as a marketing intern at property show flats that exposed me to the world of property sales. I quickly learnt how property agents build rapport with their clients and qualify their client; if they were eligible to buy executive condominiums and if they had sufficient funds to purchase such a big ticket item as a condominium.

Of course I also learnt how incredible the potential financial reward was for a property agent, and more so for a property developer. I learnt and saw how so many different people and departments came together for a single project: developer marketing team, outsourced marketing team, architects, landscaping team, bankers and property agents. It was this world of business and sales that attracted me to join as property agent.

A lot of people spend time wondering how some people get their feet into the door of a certain company or get the opportunity to that coveted job, and the secret is this: many singapore internship opportunities are disguised as work – if you’re willing to work for little to nothing, you’ll be sure to find many opportunities coming your way.

Delicious Meals Without The Wait

Hi Loves!

Today I’m very excited to be sharing about Food Panda~!

Food Panda Hui Wei Takeaway Blogger Review Enabalista SS 003

In case you haven’t heard or tried Food Panda before, you’ll be glad to know about them now! Food Panda is an awesome online/mobile service where you can order from an array of restaurants that provide delivery to your local address based on your postcode.

You can order to your home, office, friend’s home or wherever life/work takes you to, as long as the location is recognised and food is deliverable there (don’t blame me if your location is too obscure! :p).

Food Panda Hui Wei Takeaway Blogger Review Enabalista SS 001

Based on the postcode you input, Food Panda will show you the list of restaurants nearby which will deliver to your choice of location. From my place, there’s a whole list of 42 restaurants, impressive!

Food Panda Hui Wei Takeaway Blogger Review Enabalista SS 002

And the best part is, you can order in advance so your meal is delivered during your meal time! Awesome isn’t it?

I decided on Hui Wei, which is a Tze-Char (stir fried) place which has 3.5stars based on 143 ratings.  Thanks to my sister Jia Hui for doing her research (I outsourced this task to her, hehe) and she decided on these few delicious dishes!

Mei Ren Yu (Mermaid) which is fried eggplant and it’s seriously addictive. This is a highly raved dish and it did not disappoint. Highly recommended too. Food Panda Hui Wei Takeaway Blogger Review Enabalista SS 001I recommend Food Panda service for your next family or friend’s party or gathering! With this, you can save time on preparing your meal, you can even get your guests to look through the menu and order dishes to suit their liking and enjoy the meal in the comfort of your own home / private location~ ! The only downside is the minimum $50 order (for Hui Wei) for delivery, however if you’re ordering for a party of 8 or more, this won’t be an issue. 😉

Thank you Food Panda for making this review possible!

Part Time Job: Have Fun & Get Paid To Find Out If You’re Suited For The Job

Hi Loves!

I’ve told a few friends and juniors before, I had the privilege to know what jobs I liked and what jobs I didn’t like before I graduated and starting working, all because I took up internships and part time jobs in singapore during my school holidays.

My earliest memory of working during my school holidays was helping out at the stationary & book store in my secondary school. My friend Eunice and I would go back to school during school holidays for about 2 weeks to pack textbooks and help the bookshop auntie and uncle to sell them to our schoolmates. It wasn’t that difficult or tiring, in fact it was quite fun since when I was working together with my friend and the bookshop auntie was super nice! We even get paid and if my memory doesn’t fail me, that’s also how I partially funded my IPod (my kind parents paid the other half). If making your holidays fruitful and having fun with your friend at work isn’t something that motivates you, perhaps the income will.

IMG_4277

Recently I reunited over lunch with the very nice bookshop Aunty Xiao Yan after 10 years!

It’s because I started working in my secondary school days that I know the value of every dollar earned. And of course, it’s working part time at the school bookshop that made me know that even though it’s an easy job, it’s not something that I’d want to do for the rest of my life. It’s working part time in retail that motivated me to try out different jobs (admin, accounts, marketing, yes I did all of these while still studying) and find out what jobs I did enjoy and would consider pursuing as a career.

Even though some of the fashion and beauty events I attend nowadays are very glitzy and glamorous, I’m actually still pretty low maintenance in real life (sans sponsored facials and branded skincare & makeup, keke). I’m sure glad that I took up part time jobs for students when I was still studying as it helped me to be more grounded about life and work.

If you’re still studying, or considering a career switch, I’d definitely encourage you to consider taking up part time jobs singapore opportunities, to find out if you suit the job, if it’s something you’d enjoy and have the passion to make a career out of!

Do you have any part time job stories to share? Let me know in the comments below!
