Vibrant Fashion Steps Out 2015 @ Orchard Road

August 11, 2015 Ena Teo Leave a comment

Hi Loves!

A while back a group of Clozette ambassadors and I attended Fashion Steps Out 2015 @ Orchard Road and here are the photos from the media preview and actual evening! It’s my second consecutive FSO and I really enjoy the vibrancy of watching the models sashay down the road instead of the traditional runway! Plus it’s just so much fun to be there and enjoy the evening with friends. 😀

Taking a selfie before the media preview located at the swanky Mitzo Restaurant and Bar located at Grand Park Orchard Hotel.Love the cranberry cocktail concoction at Mitzo!

Watching models in local labels such as Depression.

Here we have designers Pleatation, Max Tan and Francis Cheong.

Gorgeous interiors, delicious bites and cocktail smoothies. Highly recommended place for a date or group gathering!

Got dressed up for FSO 2015!

Meeting Candy for desserts at ION before the evening. ^^

We enjoyed a cuppa of dessert.

Visited the ION Orchard Fashion Garden 2015 that housed many butterflies!
Checked out the gallery at the atrium.
Took many many group photos with the other Clozette ambassadors!

Waiting for the show to start. 😀

Many designers, including Mary Katrantzou, love the under water inspired prints for this season!
Aimer lingerie show.Raffles Design Institute with Yakuza style fashion.Ashley Isham with many dramatic “blings” and fringe fashion. Really cute kids ending off the show in Fox kids wear.We ended off the night shopping at Mandarin Gallery and feasting on Ice Cream! This Pat and Stick’s from Providore is really good!Thank you Clozette for the invites and thanks FSO for having us! <3

My Eyebrow Embroidery Touch Up @ Browtisan

August 11, 2015 Ena Teo Leave a comment

Hi Loves!

I got my very first eyebrow embroidery done at Browtisan earlier this year and I love it! A pair of well designed eyebrows has helped to define and enhance my overall facial look and I’ve been so happy and grateful for it. I’m also completely at ease whenever I visit Browtisan because I trust their skills and expertise. So a while back I went for my second touch up session and here’s how it went!

Browtisan is located at Delfi Orchard, 402 Orchard Road, #03-17.Love the cute princess Cinderella style cup that the tea comes in! <3Congratulations to Browtisan for winning Women’s Weekly Spa Awards 2015 for the best eyelash extensions! In case you’ve missed it, you can also read my review of their eyelash extension service here.

Here’s my “naked” eyebrows, my left eyebrow has a scar and unlike the rest of the normal brow area, the previous embroidery/ink on the scar has faded off.Here’s having the anaesthetic cream applied before the eyebrow embroidery touch up session.With the beautiful and friendly lady boss Coco after the touch up session! <3 How my freshly touched up eyebrows look like, it’s slightly darker than usual for the first few days. Plus, the touch up has covered my scar area perfectly! <3 And here’s how they look like after a while!

Thanks Browtisan for having me!

SG50: What We Love About SG!

August 9, 2015 Ena Teo Leave a comment

Hi Loves!

Today on the 9th of August 2015, we celebrate Singapore’s 50th independence day! To commemorate this milestone, I’ve invited 50 special people to share their favourite thing (person / food / music / place / history / memory) about Singapore. Enjoy!

Leanne | @loveforskincare | http://loveforskincare.com/
When I participated in the National Day Parade in 1990.

Linda M. | @silverkis | http://www.silverkis.com/
I love SG for the food obviously, but this is home where all my favourite people are. 🙂

Rachel Hoe | @rachelxooo
My favourite place would be Fullerton hotel. It’s the place where my husband and I got married and it’s also the place where we first met. Plus its rich heritage around that area and even the beautiful Fullerton bay hotel is simply stunning.

Winnie H. | @_winnie.h_
Favourite memory of SG are the playgrounds i grew up in. Lots of happy memories were made playing catching at the watermelon slide and mangosteen swing at the Tampines Central Park.

Qi Yun | @qiyunz | http://flyingpistachios.com/
There so many things I love about my homeland : ❤ Great food in many variety, apart from local favs such as char kway tiao, or jian etc, we also have Indian, Malay… all the way to Mongolia! ❤ Awesome people who work hard for the country and our families. ❤ Efficient, cheap and friendly transport system (some may not agree, so I urge you to try ditch tours and travel bag pack instead). ❤ Shopping malls that have everything and if not enough, ❤ super fast Internet networks to fulfil our online shopping desires! ❤ safe and well-built homes ( small but I choose to think cozy) ❤ high standard of living (comes at a price, surely. But there are places where it’s citizens can’t even afford a clean plate of rice. I cannot imagine myself born into a country as that, or a different time. I thank God and my forefathers that I’m a Singaporean today. ) ❤ clean ❤ green ❤ patriotic citizens who take extra effort to don red and white today on national day … it really warms my heart the same way I see my fellow country man queue to pay our last respects to Mr Lee our founding father earlier this year. ❤ While we’ll never know how Singapore and the world will be like like in another 50 years, I say, let’s guard our hearts and our country, and hope that when SG100 comes along, we are still the same successful , lovely and highly praised – Singapore.

Vinna Er | @vinvola | http://vinvola.blogspot.sg/
My favourite part of SG is that it’s a safe and great place for family growth. We are able to live freely without worrying for our safety.

Celine Chiam | @chiamhuiy | http://www.chiamhuiy.com/
Food, cleanliness and safety of the country.

Alene B. | @paperkitties | http://www.paperkitties.com/
For me, it would be the Joo Chiat heritage and culture that is prevalent till today. 🙂

Crystal W. | @secondsacharm
Food or course! We have food from every corner of the world!

Alethia Toh | @alethiatoh
What I love about Singapore is SINGLISH! Haha cause that’s what makes us unique.

Christabelle Peh | @bellepqz
I like the greenery here in SG.

Clarabelle Chew | @clarabellechew
The food!

Ying Ling | @icolegal
The food; like Chomp Chomp, different types of food found at one place. :)))

Loretta Chan | @thesecrossroads
Personally, its a place which stores memories of my life growing up and I guess that’s irreplaceable no matter what. Food and safety are bonuses!

Gan Da | @haagandaz | Mr Da Photography
Safe streets.

Clinton | @ongton
Singlish!!

Justin Siau | @justhinksiau
My favourite thing about SG is walking through the arrival hall in Changi Airport. Always feels great to be home. The efficiency of the automated immigration is a bonus. Haha.

Sister | @waynerooney88
Too many favs!!! If I have to narrow down, it will be SG PEOPLE: My family, husband and his family, colleagues, uni friends!! If I can choose more: SG’s food. SG’s safe and crime free streets.

Jia Hui | @jiahui2289
If I really have to choose I think I like that one can get all types of food in a place at cheap prices at hawker centres. Yay food! They are unique to Singapore. A public place with lots of stalls selling many varieties of food. And a good reflection of our multi cultural society. And you see rich people in suits eating there with old uncle in shorts and singlets. It’s just #uniquelysingapore.

Clarabel Tan | @clarabeltan | http://theperfectmonologue.blogspot.sg/
I would say it’s the food. We have everything and anything here. Japanese, indian, chinese, malay, korean, mexican, western, european, italian and french. Endless choice every meal! 😀

Cassandra | @cassansaurus | http://cassansaurus.blogspot.sg/
I love that I have lots of great memories of my family and I at the beach and the secondary school memories where my best friend and I of 8 years now met. 🙂

Cassandra Tan | @cforcassan | http://thenicethoughts.blogspot.sg/
My favourite thing about SG is definitely the food! I think the chances of seeing a pig fly is higher than running out of food choices here! Though there are so many variations to choose from, I’ll always go back to my comfort food – chicken rice! 🙂

Anico Hanna | @anicohannamg | http://www.anicohanna.com/
My favourite thing about SG is the food. Honestly, I am picky when it comes to food but local food are simply the best. You can find them anywhere at any time.

Hanna Tantoco | @hannatantoco | http://every18thofjune.blogspot.sg/
My favourite thing about SG is the efficiency of public transportation. 🙂

Christy | @christyfrisbee
I love how safe Singapore is. 🙂 And I really really love the stretch of coconut trees and bougainvilleas that line the roads leading to and from Changi Airport! For SG citizens, it serves as a warm welcome home and tourists, an introduction to our garden city!

Adele | @axdelwen
I like that we have different races so we grow up knowing more about others’ cultures and delicacies.

Smita DeSouza | @smitadesouza | http://thebeautydesk.co/
My favourite part about Singapore is the food. You get to indulge in chinese, malay, indonesian, indian and of course all the international cuisines all on this beautiful, tiny island. If I leave Singapore, it’s the local food I will miss the most.

Tarandip Kaur | @tarandip | http://fashstash.tumblr.com/
My favourite memory would have to be growing up in Queenstown – from rollerblading in the estate to picking saga seeds and drawing hopscotch boxes everywhere – the neighbourhood felt like one big family. Everyone was a friend.

Sydney Ho | @ssydneyho | http://blog.myfatpocket.com/ssydneyho/
My favourite thing about SG would be Sentosa! It has been the place closest to heart to me since young. 🙂

Lorraine Tan | @lorraineclx
There are many but if I have to choose one it will be peace and stability. I appreciate that we live in a peaceful, safe and green country. The fundamentals of where we can build a happy and safe home. Then we are able to spread our wings and go further in our work and aspirations. <3

Charissa Yvette | @_charissayvette_ | http://charissayvette.com/
My favourite thing about Singapore is the local food that makes us uniquely Singapore! Also, growing up in harmony with people and friends of all religions and races is a huge plus too. A very inclusive community.

Alethea Jane | @aletheajane | http://blog.myfatpocket.com/alethea/
My favourite thing is singlish. It’s an accent you recognize when you’re abroad. So it’s easy to spot a fellow Singaporean. Also, with singlish we sum everything up so nicely in so few words. 😀

Jerlene | @musicalhouses | http://musicalhouses.blogspot.sg/
For me it is the food! Cheap and good food available at all hours of the day is really a luxury we only get here. And the fact that our local fare is so varied and tasty means that you can eat local food everyday and not get sick of it.

Roanna T. | @paradeoflove | http://www.paradeoflove.com/
My favourite thing about about Singapore is that we have different kinds of cuisine all in this one little red dot! We’re all spolit for choice when it comes to food here.

Rusty | @missrustydotnet | http://www.missrusty.net/
I like the country itself because of its stability and safety!

Juliana C | @ilovebunnynet | http://www.ilovebunny.net/
My multi-lingual and multi-culture community.

Sarah | @beautybyrah | http://www.beautybyrah.blogspot.sg/
The wide variety and cheap food! 🙂

Jody Liu | @jodulu | http://jodulu.blogspot.sg/
I love the fact that in Singapore it doesn’t matter what time it is, there will always be food available (you just need to know where to go); I love how we have come a long way to be this beautiful blend of racial rojak and it always amazes my overseas friends how culturally diverse Singaporeans are!

Kersie | @glammama.sg
I love how beautiful and majestic our trees are, sheltering our journeys all these years. Whenever there’s more than one way to my destination, I find myself choosing the greener, more scenic route. Happy Birthday Singapore! I hope our future remains robust like our hardy greens and we grow to be a more caring, helpful and gracious society.

Kenny | @kenny_depression
My favourite thing is the education system! It made me effectively bilingual – which I’m very proud of.

Amos Ananda | @amosananda
From the satisfying Roti-prata, the savoury fried carrot cake, the ultimate comfort of the kaya toast with two soft boiled eggs, to the heavenly teh tarik, there’s no place like home. Having been living away from Singapore occasionally due to work, makes me appreciate Singapore even more. Regardless of the indifference people have about the political issues within the country, it is with no doubt that we are fortunate to live in a safe and comfortable Singapore we call home.

Lindsey | @lipstickpassportpearls | http://lipstickpassportpearls.com/
My favourite thing in Singapore has got to be: early morning runs at the botanic gardens. Especially running through the rainforest area. The whole park is stunning and you get a reboot of fresh air right in the middle of the city! I totally loose track of the time when I’m there (which is convenient on a long run. 🙂

Sheena Phua | @sheenaphua | http://sheenaphua.blogspot.sg/
Laksa & chilli crab ! 🙂

Charlene | @pinkmartinipink
It has to the food! Convenience of food everywhere. Hehe. And the transport system too. May not be the best, but certainly much better than most places.

Jacqueline Seng | @jacseng
I’ll say it’s the hawker food, because I can’t pick just one single dish. It’s the one thing we miss about home whenever we are overseas for extended periods of time, other than our loved ones. It’s the one thing we talk passionately about with visitors to Singapore, and can connect over with people we’ve just met. 😋

Kiran P. | @kpkr
I’d pick hawker food, the other thing would be familiarity with common folks I.e talkative taxi drivers, aunties and uncle in wet markets offering disc, the convenience having everything in one city (both modern, historical and Asian feels to it).

Elvina L. | @elivinaliow
Definitely hawker food!!!!!!!!!!!!
I miss it so much!
And also our cultural diversity.

Annabel Teo | @annabelteo
YES TO HAWKER FOOOOOOD! And how it’s so convenient to get from place to place with our transport system

Rachel O. | @rabeyy
I love that we can call anyone uncle and auntie here in Singapore!

Me! | @ena_teo
My favourite thing about Singapore is the Marina Bay area especially in the evening. I love chilling there with family and friends whether we’re at the Gardens by the Bay watching the lights show or at Sky on 57 bar overlooking the beautiful skyline in the night.

An overwhelming 22 people picked food as their top favourite, hehe. To find out what’s tasty in Singapore, check out my review of OpenSnap, a local food app here if you haven’t. What’s your favourite thing about Singapore? 😉

Happy 50th Birthday Singapore!

Hi Loves!

A few days ago I posted about Physiogel’s #FreeInMySkin campaign and here’s the giveaway as promised! You’ll find the details of how to take part below the photo. In addition to my review of the Physiogel Shower cream and how it has helped my dry and sensitive back skin, I’m also using the Physiogel Daily Moisture Therapy Body Lotion on my skin, namely hands and legs for the day and Physiogel Daily Moisture Therapy Body Cream at night! The former’s texture is watery and lightweight and applies on smoothly and leaves no sticky or white sheen. The latter is thicker, providing longer moisture coverage through the night, recommended especially if you sleep in an air conditioned room.

Thanks to Physiogel Singapore, I’ll be giving away 15 sets of Physiogel Hampers (each worth more than $100) which includes:
1) Physiogel DMT Cream 150ml
2) Physiogel DMT Lotion 200ml

Hollywood Celebrities’ Skincare Favourite EMK Beverly Hills

July 31, 2015 Ena Teo Leave a comment

Hi Loves!

A while back I was invited to the launch of EMK Beverly Hills skincare at Escentials Paragon outlet and today I’m excited to be sharing with you their star product and more!

As their names says, this brand hails from US, Beverly Hills, where many Hollywood celebrities reside. The brand was founded by Emilia Karsh, a professor and chemist who wanted to help her friend who suffered burn scars on the face. She applied the derivatives of human placenta which helped her friend recover and thereafter developed a line of products made from botanical placenta extract which is similar to the human placenta that helps expedite the healing process; thus EMK Beverly Hills was born. The brand was originally only available through dermatologists who recommended it to celebrities like Victoria Beckham; who has been using it for a decade now. Magazine also reports that Simon Cowell is a huge fan of their anti-aging face serum and face mask and the EMK representative told me that Cowell uses half a bottle (too extravagantly) on the face each time and buys them by the dozen.

I had the pleasure to use and review 3 EMK Beverly Hills products; Anti-Aging Facial Cleanser, 3 in 1 Live Anti-Aging Facial Mask and the Supra Night Cream.

The EMK Beverly Hills Anti-Aging Facial Cleanser Anti-Aging Facial Cleanser is a gentle and light cleanser that promises to exfoliate, hydrate and repair. It also comes with a light medicinal scent that’s reminiscent of cough syrup (no kidding). The cleanser contains hyaluronic acid and shea butter to restore the skin’s natural moisture balance. What I like about this cleanser is the light texture which feels luxurious, moisturizing and leaves the skin fresh without drying it out. However I don’t feel its supposed exfoliating effects. This is the first anti-aging facial cleanser I’ve used, as I previously tend to use facial cleanser that leaves my slightly oily skin feeling tauter. Therefore I use this in the morning and use a stronger facial cleanser in the night. I would recommend this facial cleanser especially for people with dry and sensitive skin.

EMK Beverly Hills Supra Night Recovery Cream ingredient list.

EMK Beverly Hills Supra Night Recovery Cream after application on the skin.

I personally tend to be wary of night cream as they tend to be too enriching for me and cause me to breakout especially in our warm and humid weather. However I am quite in love with this EMK Beverly Hills Supra Night Recovery Cream because even though it’s a cream, it’s light and it absorbs into the skin very quickly. Plus it has a botanical/fresh floral scent which I love! The cream promises to combat wrinkles, firm and hydrate. I can’t be sure about the wrinkles (thankfully they haven’t showed up), but it definitely absorbs into the skin to firm and hydrate! This EMK Beverly Hills Supra Night Recovery Cream has worked well for me in our Singapore weather and I can imagine it will work great across dry and cold weathers too, I recommend it as an all around ideal night cream for everyone. 🙂

EMK Beverly Hills 3 in 1 Live Anti-Aging Facial Mask is the pleasant surprise and my favourite of the 3 products in review today! Again, I have a misconception that Anti-Aging products are heavy and too enriching for me. However this product completely proved me wrong and it’s a total winner. The EMK Beverly Hills 3 in 1 Live Anti-Aging Facial Mask promises to 1. Detoxify, softens and soothes, 2. Stimulates and boosts collagen, 3. Revitalizes & deeply hydrates. You can use this either as a 15 min mask and wash away, or apply generously and leave it in for a night and wash in the morning. I tried both and I LOVE the effect after leaving it in for a night and I would recommend the latter strongly. EMK Beverly Hills 3 in 1 Live Anti-Aging Facial Mask definitely hydrated, calmed and clarify my blemished skin, after leaving it in overnight, I awake to refreshed skin that’s clearer and brighter. I’ve been recommending this to my friends and it’s now on par with my other Holy Grail item, Estee Lauder’s Advance Night Repair. It’s that good, guys. I strongly recommend this EMK Beverly Hills 3 in 1 Live Anti-Aging Facial Mask for folks looking for a mask that will make your tired and blemished skin feel and look better/great after a night’s sleep!

You can shop EMK Singapore products online at Luxola.com. Follow them on IG @EMK_Singapore.

Thank you EMK Singapore for the event invite and products for review!

#FreeInMySkin with Physiogel and the body care product I didn’t think I needed

July 30, 2015 Ena Teo 2 Comments

Hi Loves!

Do you suffer from sensitive skin such as dryness, redness and itchiness of the skin? Well, you’re not alone! An alarming rate of 1 in 2 women suffer from dry and sensitive skin, with skin flare ups at an average frequency of 12.1 times a month, according to recent findings from Physiogel’s Skincare Asia study.

And if you’ve been following my blog for a long time, you’d also know that I have a history of mild facial and back acne which is why I became super interested in skincare at a young age of 18.

When I was 18, I battled mild acne and there wasn’t a day where my face was clear from fresh acne spots or blemish. It was so bad that I had to ask my mum to sponsor facial treatment which helped me to clear up my skin over the course of a few months. Since then it’s been years since the blemishes cleared up and I am still en route to recognizing clear, blemish free skin as my status quo rather than the exception.

Whilst my facial acne is kept to a minimum now and my friends have often complimented on my radiant skin on good days, not many know that I still battle with back acne, which can be a struggle especially when they flare up after I’m out under the sun or somewhere warm and dusty (which can be quite often considering my job as a property agent). To prevent my back acne from flaring up, I always ensure regular baths, twice daily and apply powder after baths, however these measures are not fool proof and I still suffer from the occasional back acne spots every month. Also, the powder can sometimes be quite drying for my skin, but I honestly didn’t know what else I could do! T_T

So it’s not until very recently when I was introduced to Physiogel’s Daily Moisture Shower Cream that I found the product that my dry and sensitive back skin needed!!!

You can use the Physiogel Daily Moisture Shower Cream on its own and as well as for the face, but I like to double cleanse and use it on my back after my usual body cleansing gel. What this product does is that it cleanses and moisturizes the skin, in the shower! It truly feels like freedom for my back skin when my dry and sensitive skin is moisturized throughout the day. It has helped prevent my usual and frequent back acne flare ups and I am looking forward to the gradual clearing up of my back skin blemishes after prolong use.

I am not alone in my struggle with dry and sensitive skin, as Eunice Olsen also shares her story and how she’s now feeling confident with the help of Physiogel’s products. Watch the beautiful Eunice Olsen in her video testimony here:

If you’re looking for a solution to your dry and sensitive skin, check out this handy info-graphic by Physiogel to find out what products to use to meet your needs:

Also, give Physiogel’s Freedom List Quiz a go! I got “Inspiring Innovator” and they’re seriously spot on! I totally want to achieve the 5 suggested ideas on the Freedom List! HAHA! 😀Last but not the least, I’ll be hosting a giveaway on the 2nd of August to give away 15 sets of Physiogel hamper (worth more than $100) that includes:
1) Physiogel DMT Cream 150ml
2) Physiogel DMT Lotion 200ml
3) Physiogel DMT Shower Cream 150ml

Stay tuned for the giveaway blog post, Facebook and Instagram announcements and be sure to take part to win the awesome product hampers! 😉

My Zalora Loots

July 30, 2015 Ena Teo Leave a comment

Hi Loves!

So I recently I blogged about ShopVenture before I went shopping on Zalora and here are my loots! You can check out my review which is now up on their site here. 😉

1 of 3 Zalora dresses I bought, they were having a 3 for $50 offer, score! This is a white dress which would be perfect for my formal work attire. The other 2 are safe black dresses. The material, fit and cut is pretty good for this price!

Really love this Material Girl blue dress, the fabric is soft and the fit is awesome. I can’t wait to wear it for a night out! 🙂

This is probably the only dress that didn’t fit that well (and the most pricey at $31, lol), I’m usually a size 8 but this Girlondon dress comes a little smaller. So I guess I have to lose some weight to fit it better as I don’t want to go through the hassle of exchanging! 😛Will be wearing these out, follow and look out for my OOTD updates on IG, @ena_teo! 😉

A gentle reminder that ShopVenture is now offering a $999 designer Yani Armchair for giveaway! All you have to do is to:

Facebook: Sign up to ShopVenture.com, double-your-chances to win by liking and sharing the post.

Instagram: Sign up to ShopVenture.com, double-your-chances to win by tagging 3 friends

Indulge and Refresh with Earth Botanics Bath & Body Products

July 29, 2015 Ena Teo Leave a comment

Hi Loves!

I’ve been using Earth Botanics products for a while now and been really loving it!

Earth Botanics is an innovative range of luxurious bath and body products and is also Matakana Botanicals’ most popular, best selling products, with its improved formula and award winning packaging.

This range is available in three exciting and refreshing notes: Cucumber and Mint, Lavender and Lemon and Tangerine and Ginger, these unique blends are made from premium natural New Zealand ingredients picked from specialised growers.

The key essential ingredient of all Earth Botanics products is wild harvested organic Manuka Honey which is sourced from Great Barrier Island and is an high antioxidant with remarkable anti bacterial healing powers. Other ingredients include; macadamia oil and extra virgin oil from olives grown and pressed at Matakana as well as lavender harvest and distilled at a farm near Lake Taupo. These unique botanical blends nourish and sooth the body and also rejuvenate the mind with sensuous aromas.

Earth Botanics products also have no parabens, no animal testings, no synthetic colours, specialised growers and 100% pure essential oils.

The Earth Botanics revitalising series is available in the three categories:

Bath & Shower Gel – smooth lathering cleansing gel made with Manuka Honey and Macadamia Oil to nourish and sooth. Infused with special blends to refresh and provide an ultimate aromatic fragrance.

Exfoliating Hand and Body Scrub – A moisturizing body wash made with Manuka Honey and finely crushed Apricot shell, complete with rejuvenating aromatic blends for a superb exfoliating experience.

Hand and Body Lotion – Nourishing lotion containing Manuka Honey, Aloe Vera and special infusions for a revitalizing experience.

I received the Earth Botanics Bath & Shower gel in Tangerine and Ginger which is a very refreshing and invigorating scent which I love to use in the morning to wake me up. It’s also super smooth and gentle on the skin because of the manuka honey. It definitely feels very luxurious and organic. I use Earth Botanics Exfoliating Hand and Body scrub in Lavender and Lemon once a week to scrub away the dead skin and I love it because the finely crushed apricot shell created an enjoyable exfoliating experience. I love the Lavender scent as it’s very soothing and relaxing. Earth Botanics Hand and Body Lotion in Cucumber and Mint is a thick white lotion when dispensed and requires a fair bit of effort to massage into the skin. However once applied, the skin is much smoother, plumped and the scent is very summery and refreshing.

I highly recommend this range of Earth Botanics bath and body products for natural and organic lovers and people with sensitive skin looking for a luxurious and aromatic bath experience.

Earth Botanics:
Bath and Shower Gel, S$28. Hand and Body Lotion, S$30. Exfoliating Hand and Body Scrub, S$32.
Available at John Little (Jurong Point, Marina Square, Plaza Singapura, Tiong Bahru Plaza), Robinsons (Jem, Raffles City), Sephora (ION Orchard, Marina Bay Sands, Suntec City), Soon Lee at Haji Lane, Far East Flora, Noel Gifts, Xpress Flowers.
You can also shop them online onWearto here and Luxola here. By the way, now you can also get some extra discounts on Earth Botanics Products at Luxola. To get these cool discounts, check out the coupons and offers at CouponzGuru.sg! 😉

Thank you Sirius PR and FNBC for sending the products for review.

Search, Compare & Shop with Priceza

July 28, 2015 Ena Teo Leave a comment

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!

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.

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!

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

July 16, 2015 Ena Teo Leave a comment

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:

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.

There are also masks and body lotion and wash in the range.

Gromwell Root Extract, the special ingredient to the range due to its anti-inflammatory effects, promotes wound healing and anti-bacterial properties.

ORBIS CLEAR series promises better skin protective functions and higher skin hydration.

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.

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

Slimming exercise pills that help you burn more while you exercise!

Super cool isn’t it?

Product Prices
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
ORBIS CLEAR Powder Foundation Case, $11.00
ORBIS Acne Spots Concealer, $18.50

You can purchase ORBIS products at their outlets here:

Robinsons (The Heeren, Raffles City) both at Level 1 Beauty Hall

Bishan Junction 8, #01-46

Westgate, #02-18

Let me know if you’ve tried any ORBIS products and what you think of them!

Hi Loves!

Have you seen the Summer’s Eve “Say Yes to Sexy” video campaign which I’m a part of, along with many fabulous bloggers? 😉 If you haven’t, watch the video below and take part in the giveaway on FB here!

If you haven’t heard of Summers’ Eve, they’re a feminine care brand that promises to help women feel clean and confident, which is the key to sexiness! 😉 Here’s some photos from the filming day and bloggers’ event for the video preview~

On the way to the filming venue! Mood: *Excited* ^^

With my ladies Celine & Sydney!

With Alene in her get up as Sexy Gal, Celine as 60 year old granny and Sydney as 16 year old sweet young thing. I’m just a regular shopper at the bazaar! ^^V

With the really sweet and friendly Kai Ting whom I’ve known for a while on IG and met her for the first time!

With Kaiting, Ginevi, Chevron and Juliana! Thanks Kaiting for these pics! <3

Behind the scenes shot of Alene acting out her scene… we literally took a whole day to film the short video because the production team and director took many multiple “safety shots”. Filming is really not easy!

Got my hair tied up by the make up artist on set. Isn’t it lovely and super tumblr worthy? 😛

Had a really great time on set with these ladies and the hospitable crew! <3

A few weeks after filming the video, we were invited to My Cozy Room spa at Cairnhill for the video preview!

The stairways was all decked out and welcoming us!

Summer’s Eve is probably most famous for their feminine wash, you will find them in two versions for normal skin (scented) and sensitive skin (unscented). They’re gentle yet effective, and their allergy-tested formula is specifically designed to match the pH of the external vaginal area and cleanse away odor-causing bacteria without irritation.

Beyond mere feminine wash, Summer’s Eve also provides feminine wipes for busy women on the go, these ultra-soft feminine wipes are the perfect pick-me-up. Individually wrapped for hygiene and convenience, the flushable wipes are great for freshening up between sanitary pad or pantyliner changes. Formulated with Neutresse® and skin-soothing Aloe and Vitamin E, they gently cleanse and neutralize odor without irritation.

Summer’s Eve also provides handy travel sized Feminine Cleansing Mist and Feminine Deodorant Spray to keep odor at bay!

Thank you Summer’s Eve, OCG and The Cozy Room for hosting us at the bloggers event, it was great fun working together for the video campaign!

TheFaceShop Singapore Cushion Screen Cell Feels Like Second Skin

July 3, 2015 Ena Teo Leave a comment

Hi Loves!

I’m very excited to be finally sharing about TheFaceShop Cushion Screen Cell foundation after months of using ~~and procrastination in blogging~~! Seriously, the media kit and packaging from The Face Shop is the best, they are always so thoughtful and it’s always a welcomed surprise!

What is lighter and fresher than before? As light as your skin?

TheFaceShop Cushion Screen Cell promises to be lighter and fresher than before!

Comes with SPF 50+ PA+++ to protect your skin from harmful sun rays.

Really pretty casing too!

This is the 99.9% anti bacterial net to ensure hygiene.

Additionally these are the 3 features and effects on your skin!

When I first received the product, I was frankly completely skeptical about what the product boasts of… “Lighter and fresher than before, as light as your skin”… Really??? But after using it for 2 +months, I love it! Firstly, it really amazingly does looks and feels like my second skin, when I applied it on my skin the first few times, I had to take a double look that there was foundation applied over. It gives a really super natural look and feel. I also just read that this very TFS Cushion Screen Cell won Cleo SG’s Feels Like Second Skin Foundation award on its Beauty Awards 2015 (July), which I definitely think it’s well deserved. I’d highly recommend this if you’re looking for a hassle free foundation cushion that feels and looks natural. Plus it’s also affordably priced at S$42.90 and available at all TFS outlets island wide.

Another reason to celebrate and visit TheFaceShop is that they’ve lowered their prices in SG, how awesome is that?! I am personally a HUGE fan and loyal user of their products including their facial masks, SMIM treatment essence, Raspberry Roots Mask and their Rice Water Bright Facial Cleanser. In essence, TheFaceShop products feels light on the skin yet they are effective, that is why I love them so!

Thank you TheFaceShop for sending the products and hampers for review!

Clozette KParty & Klarity Bloggers’ Event

July 2, 2015 Ena Teo Leave a comment

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! YAY!). 😀

On the same day, Klarity skincare brand held a blogger workshop to share more about their products, held at SaladStop at MBFC.

With Roanna, Fifi, Jerlene, Crystal and Vinna!Vinna and I were coincidentally dressed in sync in knit wear which is our version of soft korean style, kekeke.

We met the founder of Klarity skincare brand who was sharing about the benefits of Klarity CC cream which is hydrating, moisturizing while being a great makeup foundation/base. We were gifted a sample pack which I tried and it’s really good! It’s no wonder that it’s highly raved and loved by many beauty bloggers even from abroad, as I’ve seen Australian beauty blogger/instagrammer raving about it on IG. I would recommend you to try it too!

Thank you Clozette & Klarity SG for the event invites!

Sweet Valentines with ETUDE HOUSE Singapore; Eyes, Lips & Nails Talk

July 2, 2015 Ena Teo Leave a comment

Hi Loves!

So Etude House launched their flagship store at Wisma Atria basement back in October and if you haven’t, be sure to check them out there! It’s my favourite outlet out of the many island wide cause it’s so conveniently located and I can always check in for their new products and colours whenever I’m in town. I know I am really super late (am really working on keeping up to speed with all the events and products reviews! #fighting!) but in case you haven’t already seen, or even if you have, I am sure you can still admire and appreciate the products again! Hahaha! So, going back to topic, Etude House launched a Give Me Chocolate Valentines Day collection, along with their Stay Up Foundation and Dear My Wish lips talk to create a sweet V’ Day look. They also introduced their Enamelting Gel Nail Polishes and had a live demonstration. Check it out! 😉

You can get these babies at all Benefit stores and Sephora outlets for SGD37. 🙂

Fuller Firmer Skin From Within with Imedeen Time Perfection

Gallery June 30, 2015 Ena Teo 8 Comments

Hi Loves!

If you’ve read my post “8 Beauty Features for This CNY” earlier this year, you’d know that I started taking IMEDEEN Time Perfection skin supplements after reading up and finding mostly positive recommendations online. So after taking them for 3 months, here’s my review!

So what’s IMEDEEN Time Perfection all about? Basically, IMEDEEN is all about tablet skincare; while beauty creams and serum work from the outside of the skin, Imedeen works on the inside of your skin, deep down in the dermal layer where the process of skin ageing begins.

More specficially, IMEDEEN Time Perfection is based on an exclusive collagen rich Marine Complex foundation, but enriched with LycoPhence GS™ – a potent and patented antioxidant complex that helps protect skin against UV-induced damage and deterioration. IMEDEEN Time Perfection reduces the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles and other signs of ageing.

These are the effects of IMEDEEN:

· Improves skin quality and structure

· Improves moisture balance

· Helps protect collagen and elastin fibres against harmful UV rays

· Makes skin on face and body feel softer, smoother and more supple

There have been scientifically proven results in just 90 days, with more than 10 scientific studies carried out to confirm the skin-beautifying benefits of IMEDEEN skincare tablets.

“For me, true beauty really does begin within and when it comes to skincare that means Imedeen.”

Christy Turlington, Imedeen’s Global Ambasssador

Model and maternal health advocate Christy Turlington Burns is the new global brand ambassador for nutricosmetics expert IMEDEEN beauty supplements (manufactured by Pfizer).

A genuine advocate of the award-winning beauty tablets, Christy credits two daily tablets of IMEDEEN Time Perfection® as one of her secrets to maintaining beautiful, younger looking skin from the inside.

As for my review today, I was convinced to give IMEDEEN tablets a try after reading this really convincing review on MakeupAlley:

After taking IMEDEEN Time Perfection tablets for 3 months, I can see that my facial skin is fuller and firmer. My face, especially my forehead looks plumper and healthy. To illustrate how I feel about my skin after taking IMEDEEN Time Perfection tablets, see these images and writeup (provided by IMEDEEN):

The images above are taken from one of the scientific studies carried out on IMEDEEN. They confirm what’s happening in the invisible dermal layer of the skin and clearly show improvements after 3 and 6 months of use.

The top black line depicts the outer layer of the skin, also called the epidermis. Below this is the supportive layer – the dermis. The coloured elements represent collagen, elastin, and moisture retaining elements present in the dermis. A high concentration and distribution of dark coloured elements indicates a good skin condition.

My nails are also growing out to be stronger and they no longer chip easily. Thankfully I did not experience any weight gain due to the taking of these pills. Personally I am always interested to explore anti-ageing beauty / skincare products and supplements, so I wanted to give Time Perfection tablets and try and see its effectiveness. And I am happy to report that this product has worked for me and I will definitely consider this product as a collage supplement when I’m in my 30s. The recommended age for IMEDEEN Time Perfection tablets is 35+ so I am technically still young for it as I’m turning 25 this year.

I personally also prefer taking this tablet skincare over collagen drink. The recommended intake is 2 tablets once a day. It comes in a box which lasts 30 days/1 month and the recommended course to see effects is 90 days. A box currently costs S$101.05 which works out to $3.40 daily, which is about the price of a collagen drink or cheaper. I would opt for these tablets over the drinks because I feel that these are more fuss free compared to drinking the collagen drink and definitely much more compact to bring around when travelling or even when buying them home (of course unless you buy online and opt for home delivery than its not an issue)!

You can read up more about the product here and buy IMEDEEN Time Perfection with 25% GSS discount from the website here.

Thank you IMEDEEN Singapore and Touch PR for sending the tablets for review.

Disclaimer: The product has worked for me but I cannot guarantee that it will definitely work for you.

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

June 29, 2015 Ena Teo Leave a comment

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! 😉

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.

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! 🙂

The interior decor reminds me of classical roman mixed with modern western design.

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.

Tuna Sake Tataki
Quick seared Tuna with Sake, served with Hash Browns, Tomato Florentine and Red Pesto

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. 🙂

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

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!

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!

Thank you Caffe B and PR Communications for the media review invite!
