My Eyebrow Embroidery Touch Up @ Browtisan

#FreeInMySkin Physiogel Hamper Giveaway

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.

Physiogel #FreeInMySkin Hamper Giveaway

 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

To take part, simply leave a comment on the blog, why you want to try Physiogel. I have 5 sets to be given away on the blog, my Facebook and Instagram respectively!

Hollywood Celebrities’ Skincare Favourite EMK Beverly Hills

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!

EMK Singapore Blogger Review 001

 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.

EMK Singapore Blogger Review 002

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.EMK Singapore Blogger Review 009_Fotor_Collage

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 Singapore Blogger Review 004EMK Singapore Blogger Review 006 EMK Singapore Blogger Review 007

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 Singapore Blogger Review 005 EMK Singapore Blogger Review 010_Fotor_CollageEMK 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

 

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.

Physiogel #FreeInMySkin Campaign Eunice Olsen 001

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:

HAHA! 😀Physiogel #FreeInMySkin Campaign Eunice Olsen 003Last 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

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! 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.

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

 

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!

Fuller Firmer Skin From Within with Imedeen Time Perfection

 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!

Imedeen 001

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.

ChristyTurlingtonBurnsImedeen-647x370

“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:

Screen Shot 2015-06-30 at 10.21.08 pm

2015-06-07 15.30.082015-06-05 16.19.05After 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):

image002

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.

Latest Beauty Trends @ Beauty Asia’s 19th Trade Exhibition for Beauty, Spa & Health

Hi Loves!

As a beauty enthusiast, I couldn’t miss the offer for a preview tour of Beauty Asia, a B2B tradeshow when it was here in Singapore, Suntec back in early Jan. I met up with Leanne for the tour and we met Vinna who was attending to a booth during the fair. One of Leanne’s favourite was Hakuhodo, a Japanese brush brand. I was fascinated with the Korean salmon roe luxurious golden eye patch, we also tried rose extract and checked out the self care radiofrequency treatment by Habalan which is apparently really popular in Korea… this technology is apparently not available to the mass consumers in Singapore yet! We were also quite impressed with Cailyn (nope, not Caitlyn as in Caitlyn Jenner), a new US makeup brand and of course the elaborate nail art artworks during the competition was quite remarkable too. Beauty Asia Trade Show Enabalista Blog 001

Super COOL selfie/photo wall:
1. Take selfie/s alone or with friends,
2.  Choose your character,
3. Send it out/over to the screen in front of the store! 😀

THERE’S TONS OF NEW STUFF, It’s almost impossible to capture all of the happening new items, so I am just cherry picking the items that caught my eyes!Enabalista Etudehouse Vivo City Opening 008

NEW Lock N Summer Precious Mineral Any Cushion that is Long Lasting Proof, for summer, as the name goes! I LIKE THE SAILOR-ISH PACKAGING. IF you’re planning to get it, there’s  super Grand Opening Exclusive set where you get a FULL bracelet + charms free, how wonderful!Enabalista Etudehouse Vivo City Opening 009 Enabalista Etudehouse Vivo City Opening 013

This new Create your Makeup Palette look totally caught my eye! Pick 3 eyeshadows and make your own palette! Super love customizable makeup! Also how cute is Pony in the Baby Doll look? If you want, you can follow the instructions and buy the 101 Play Pencils to create the same look, how helpful!Enabalista Etudehouse Vivo City Opening 001

DJ Jia Hui was in the house hosting and explaining as the Korean makeup artist created a soft feminine look for the model using the latest LE Dreaming Swan collection! <3Enabalista Etudehouse Vivo City Opening 005

Young, sweet and lanky actress Carrie Wong came with an entourage of fans (who enthusiastically waited and cheered outside for her) and joined in the fun at the opening launch!

New ITEMS: Cherry Blossom & Rose Garden Eye Palette. SO PRETTY, the colours!Enabalista Etudehouse Vivo City Opening 012 Enabalista Etudehouse Vivo City Opening 011

I’d personally go for the Rose Garden, only because I already have a pink eyeshadow set at home – plus the coral colour for the Rose Garden set is UNIQUE.

Enabalista Etudehouse Vivo City Opening 010

These chuby Bling Bling eyeshadow pens caught my eyes!!! I’d opt for Ivory Baby (middle colour) but I decided to go with a Play 101 Pencil in 4 which is a off white colour! Sorry forgot to snap a photo, but you’ll see it in my product photos later below. 🙂Enabalista Etudehouse Vivo City Opening 028

Here’s a Sweet Catcher, which you can use 1 pink coin for 1 turn. I was super duper blessed and got a $50 voucher. Enabalista Etudehouse Vivo City Opening 034

There’s this awesome DIY wrapping zone, spend $30 to get a chance to use this counter for free. 🙂 GREAT idea to buy and wrap gifts for friends!

NOW ON TO THE HIGHLIGHT: *drums roll*

Limited Edition ETUDE x KERRIE HESS NEW DREAMING SWAN collection.

Kerrie Hess is a renowned international fashion illustrator and her works are feminine and beautiful and she collaborated with ETUDE to release an enviable collection of super cute illustrations with a  ballerina theme, you’ll see!:
Enabalista Etudehouse Dreaming Swan Limited Edition Collection 006

Limited Edition Dreaming Swan collection released in Singapore includes:  5 Eye & Cheek colours, 5 Lip colours, 1 Veiling Pact, 3 Any Cushion Cases, 1 Swan Pouch.

Close Ups:Enabalista Etudehouse Dreaming Swan Limited Edition Collection 004

Swatches, these colours are slightly pastel when swatched, and even more pastel when applied on the lips – at least for the coral one which I have tried.  I like Jete Pink and En Haute Pink cause I am naturally drawn to pinks as they are more wearable for daily use and  I shall stop obsessing over dark pinks (the Arabesque Pink which I have 101 similar colours at home)! This collection of lipsticks are more matte in texture and thus not as moisturizing as the typical Dear My Wish Lips Talk collection. BUT OH SO CUTE CASING. I have this urge to go and buy another lipstick (after visiting the new store 2 times in 3 days) just because, you know, cute casing. SIGH. #lipstickobsession #suckerforcutepackaging

Enabalista Etudehouse Dreaming Swan Limited Edition Collection 001

I like the Eye & Cheek blusher in this no3. Arabesque Rosy too!Enabalista Etudehouse Dreaming Swan Limited Edition Collection 008

SO, my second time in the store on Sunday, I GOT THE LAST Eye & Cheek in no.5 in En Haute Pink. LAST PIECE = DESTINY. (Even thought I quite clearly liked no.3 the first time I went. Girls.)

I forgot to snap a picture of the brush sample, but the brush from this collection is also out of stock! So fans will have to hope and wait for restock, if any!
Enabalista Etudehouse Vivo City Opening 014

There’s 2 sets of nail colours for this collection too! I picked out the Peach set. 🙂

SELFIES TIME.

GLAMGLOW Powermud Dual Cleanse (Clay + Oil) Treatment that Gently Cleanses the Skin

 

Hi Loves~

Today I want to share about GLAMGLOW’s PowerMud Dual Cleanse Treatment, which I was introduced to when they launched at Escentials (a long time back, #blogdebt, hurrr)!

Glam Glow Power Mud Launch 001

A pretty row of stacked up GlamGlow PowerMud~
Glam Glow Power Mud Launch 003

GlamGlow Masks are created by husband and wife team Glenn and Shannon Dellimore, it’s supposedly originally designed for exclusive professional backstage use in Hollywood and was only made available to consumers worldwide in 2011.
Glam Glow Power Mud Launch 004

The introduction of GlamGlow PowerMud comes after their YouthMud (Tingling and Exfoliating treatment), SuperMud  (Clearing treatment) and ThirstyMud (Hydrating treatment). They also have a BrightMud Eye treatment~

Glam Glow Power Mud Launch 002Glam Glow Power Mud Launch 005 Glam Glow Power Mud Launch 006

Food & HicJuice – raw organic and cold pressed drink, super yummy!Glam Glow Power Mud Launch 007

The GlamGlow PowerMud. It’s a mix of both Claymud and Teaoxi aka green tea Oil so it promises to – cleanse, nourish, detox, purify and renew – deeply yet gently cleanses the skin. It smells amazing because of fragrant plant extracts which includes apple, so I really love the smell of the mask itself and when its on my skin. There will be an initial warmth feel after application but it does not get irritable. After removal, skin feels velvety smooth. I left the mask on for 20 minutes and removed it with running water quite easily even though it dried on my face. It doesn’t feel like it soaks up the oil and dirt and cleanse my face like other clay masks I’ve tried because of the oil extract, so it feels more gentle and nourishing. The downside of the mask is its high price point, at more than $90 per bottle.Glam Glow Power Mud Launch 008Thank you Leanne for the invite to the launch and thanks to Escentials  for hosting us and the samples for review! 🙂

Hi Loves!
I was nominated by the very lovely and sweet Kymm of Diagonalll Beauty & Lifestyle blog last September for the Liebster Award! Thank you Kymmy! <3 Be sure to check out her blog, as well her answers to her Liebster Award nomination here.
liebsteraward
Basically, it’s an award given to up and
coming bloggers who have less than 200 followers by other bloggers in the community. The word “Liebster” itself is German, meaning “sweetest, kindest, nicest, dearest, beloved, loveliest, cutest, a darling… (and the list goes on, but simply, everything nice)”.
As of today, I have less than 200 (198 to be exact! :P) blog followers on my blog, according to WordPress. I won’t really consider myself as an “up and coming” blogger since this is my 5th year of blogging, but I really appreciate this nomination and even though I procrastinated soooo long, I want to pass on this Liebster Award and love to other bloggers too! 😀
Rules

Thank the person who nominated you by linking their blog.

Answer the 11 questions the nominator gave you.

Nominate 11 other bloggers who have less than 200 followers.

Create 11 questions for your nominees.

Let your nominees know by getting in touch with them.

Kymm’s Questions

1. What made you start your beauty blog?
I started Enabalista in end 2010 when I was still a Fashion Media & Industries (Management) student in LASALLE and wanted to share my behind the scenes photos and review of Fashion Week in Singapore. Then I also decided to include skincare reviews when I signed up to receive and review products from Sample Store. Although I have since stopped reviewing products sent from Sample Store (I had a clause that I could only review a certain’s brand products when I was representing them as their digital ambassador), that was I started my Lifestyle; Fashion, Beauty & more blog. 🙂
2. What are 3 of your must-have beauty items?
1. CC Cushion Compact – Laneige or TheFaceShop Sunscreen Cushion (the colour matches my skin to a T)
2. Lip Balm – Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour
3. Lipstick – current favourites include MAC’s Huggable collection, Etudehouse’s Liquid Lips, L’Oreal’s Colour Riche and Laneige Duo Colour Lip bar.
3. What are 3 of your must-have skincare items?
1. Kose Sun Protect Essence Gel
2. Bioderma Sensibio Makeup Remover
3. Moisturizer for Day and Night, I use several brands, right now I’m trying out Orbis’ Clear Range M Moisturizer.
4. What is one beauty step you have to take everyday before you leave the house (filling in your brows/your cat-eyes)?
Definitely putting on moisturizer and sunblock. That’s 2 steps, I know. 😛
5. What would your dream job be and why?
Business owner, selling products, bringing joy to others and earning money even while I am on my holiday (the business doesn’t stop when I’m travelling)! 😀
6. Write down your favourite quote.
-1-timothy-412-dont-let-anyone-look-down-on-you-because-you-are-young-but-set-an-example-for-the-believers-in-speech
“Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.” – 1 Timothy 4:12
I grew up in church reading this from the bible and hearing youth pastors share and encouraging us with this verse. So I grew up believing that nothing; not youth, not inexperience can stop anyone to be the best they can be. I grew up believing that if a person puts her heart, mind and soul into her goal, she can achieve it. 🙂
7. Dinner before dessert or Dessert before dinner?
Dessert after dinner for sure!
8. Is there a make up step that you’re completely FAIL at? (hahaha! that would be falsies for me)
I’m not really good with Mascaras and Falsies! I don’t apply them often, so I take super long, 15-30 minutes to put them on.
9. Long hair or short hair?
Currently Long. 🙂
10. Would you rather lose all of your make up or skincare items?

This is a tough one! I have a lot more makeup products than skincare items, because I usually use up my skincare products as I use them on a almost daily basis, while I use my makeup products on a rotation basis. I will have to go with, I rather lose my skincare items and I will buy the few important products I use on a daily basis. 😛

These ladies would likely to have more than 200 blog followers, but do take part in this award tag still! 😀

Hollywood Glamour with Charlotte Tilbury Fallen Angel Smokey Eyeshadow Palette

 

Hi Loves!

Do you ever wonder how you can  create Hollywood style smokey eye makeup look for a formal or dinner event and what makeup you should use?

Kirsten Steward’s Red Carpet Smokey Eyes Look

Earlier this year I received a box of love from Net-a-Porter with two beauties from Charlotte Tilbury, namely the Fallen Angel Smokey Eye Palette and the Rock N Kohl Eye Pencil.

Charlotte Tilbury Smokey Eyeshadow Palette in Off White/Light Peach, Golden Browns & Black, Charlotte Tilbury Rock & Kohl Eye Pencil. Super duper love the cute and precious starry embossed effect on the palette! <3 <3 <3Charlotte Tilbury Smokey Eye Fallen Angel Eyeshadow Palette Rock & Kohl Eye Pencil Review 003

My first look using Charlotte Tilbury Smokey Eyeshadow Fallen Angel Palette  & Rock & Kohl Eye Pencil. I dusted the light peach over my upper eyelids, coloured in the light brown from the inner corners of the eyes, ended off with the dark golden brown and black and drew in the cat eye tips using the eyeliner. I fell in love with this eyeshadow palette’s fine powder yet awesome pigmentation and beautiful colours. With primer and foundation as the base, the Rock & Kohl eyeliner lasted the entire day and didn’t smudge. However on other tries, I realized that if I didn’t have proper primer or foundation, the eye liner will smudge in our humid Singapore weather. I paired it with a bright pink lip colour for a contemporary and feminine look.Charlotte Tilbury Smokey Eye Fallen Angel Eyeshadow Palette Rock & Kohl Eye Pencil Review 004Another look I created with Charlotte Tilbury Smokey Eyeshadow Fallen Angel Palette  & Rock & Kohl Eye Pencil for the recent Singapore Fashion Week. This time I upped the dramatic factor by going for a heavier smokey eye effect before drawing in thicker cat eye effect with the eye pencil. I used a scarlet red lipstick (Elizabeth Arden’s Scarlet) for a classic look.

Have you any Charlotte Tilbury makeup products that you use and love? Do share in the comments below!

Thank you Net-A-Porter & Directions Group for the products for review.

Estee Lauder Modern Muse Fragrance Review

Hi Loves!

As I gather my thoughts and prepare for this fragrance review post, I feel so at peace with my environment and myself. It’s incredible to think that we’re a good 5 days (as I am typing, but will be 6 when this is published) into the last month of the year 2014. I think that year 2014 has been a tough year globally with many unfortunate flight disasters and the onset of a major virus epidemic in Africa, not forgetting the financial softening in many parts of the world and in Singapore. To say that this year has been tough for me would be an understatement. It’s probably not the toughest year for me per se, emotionally speaking. But career wise and financially, it’s not the kind of financial climate that a rather fresh graduate wishes for her coming 2nd work year, much less to say as a property agent. I will probably dedicate a separate post for my yearly reflections for my personal, work and blog life. What I wish to say for now is that I’m grateful, grateful that I am able to keep my passion and blogging hobby alive thus far. Even after 4 years, my blog is still driven by passion; even though I have months worth of blogging back log, I’ve never dreaded blogging and I always look forward to taking time to reflect, review and update this little blog space of mine. And I think that that’s how I have differentiated myself, that I always take time to craft and compile a post with my thoughts, research and images – and I take a great deal of pride in that. I don’t deny that I am a huge procrastinator and that is something I am still working on. However for me, good posts take time and I don’t think that I’ll ever settle for a post that falls short of anything but that. 🙂 

With the long introduction aside, today I’d like to present to you the Estee Lauder Modern Muse fragrance. I’m just gonna be super direct and put it out there – I am in love with this fragrance. It’s my current top favourite fragrance that I find myself  drawn towards each morning before I head to work. Described as a Lush Floral Woody scent, it’s a sublime and sophisticated combination of Sparkling Jasmine and Sleek Wood Accords. A well balanced and layered fragrance, it’s the go-to scent for a confident, independent and inspirational woman of today. This scent reminds me again of why Estee Lauder is such a remarkable global beauty brand to be reckoned with today – their every product is a distillation of months, perhaps year long research and development that’s catered to a woman’s lifestyle and need. Estee Lauder just gets it. And this fragrance is one such example as it’s feminine yet confident. I feel that as women of the world today, we can embrace our femininity and at the same time we can be confident and empowered to achieve greater things that perhaps our female seniors have not been able to previously. We have been given much, and with it, we can do so much more.

Estee Lauder Modern Muse Blogger Review 004 Estee Lauder Modern Muse Blogger Review 002 Estee Lauder Modern Muse Blogger Review 003Estee Lauder Modern Muse Blogger Review 001The Modern Muse comes in a cute bow design and the media kit came in a cool sleek card usb – am I the only one that’s constantly amazed by the modernity of technology and design?

Sparkling Jasmine Accord: This facet of the fragrance captures the creative energy and magnetic femininity of a modern woman. Exotic Mandarin and tempting Honeysuckle Nectar send a spark of energy through a youthful sensation of Dewy Petals. Two extractions of Jasmine Sambac, including one new to the perfumery palette, Jasmine Sambac China Absolute, bring luminous texture to the feminine bouquet of rich Tuberose Fleur and Fresh Lily.

Sleek Wood Accord: Her sleek style, strength and sensuality are expressed through this innovative blend of two Patchouli essences wrapped in the creaminess of Madagascar Vanilla, rich Amber Wood and soft Musk – all of which craft an undeniably sensual finish.

 Modern Muse is available at all Estee Lauder counters including ION Orchard store. 
SGD88 (30ml), SGD 130 (50ml) & SGD192 (100ml)
Also available in Body Lotion and Shower Gel (SGD80 each)
I would highly recommend this fragrance for ladies. Guys, this would be a great Christmas gift for your special lady – what better way to appreciate your SO than letting her know that she’s your Modern Muse? 😉 Estee Lauder’s having wonderful Christmas discounts and promotions, now’s the perfect time to purchasing gifts and stock up on beauty items!
Thank you Estee Lauder Singapore for the fragrance.
