Celebrate a Magical Christmas with Etude House

December 15, 2015 Ena Teo Leave a comment

Hi Loves!

Continuing my series of Christmas related blog posts is Etude House’s recent magical christmas blogger event where we learnt how to create a festive makeup look with the new Play 101 pencils and DIY Christmas themed nail art with Enamel-ting colours.

This Christmas, Etude House has a series of super cute food, fruits and dessert related cosmetics and body care sets. Scroll down for photos of the event and gift sets~ 🙂
Love the festive Christmas backdrop and cute packaging of the products!
Etude House Enamel-ting polish colours and LED lamp on the table for us to DIY our own gel nails!

The new Play 101 collection for this Christmas!
Swatches for the new Play 101 collection. These colours blend out really well for a beautiful eye look.

Getting my own nails done, by myself!:

Did one thumbnail first, nice?
Proceeded to complete the rest of the fingernails! ^^ These are really super easy to apply, you will need a sponge to create the white gradient layer. After about 2-3 weeks, I could “peel” the gelish layer off my nails. There is an Enamelting gel nail soak off remover from the shop to safely remove the gel nail polish!
Everest’s really cute gelish nail design. Another set of pretty nail design! Sorry I can’t remember whose nails these are, oops!
Cake scented tablets, blusher and contour palette – adorable!!!

Thank you Etude House for having me at the Christmas blogger event! ^^

Your girlfriend will love Anna Sui’s Romantic & Holiday Snow Christmas Collection

December 15, 2015 Ena Teo Leave a comment

Hi Loves!

A while back I shared about Anna Sui’s Autumn collection and share a preview of their new Romantica fragrance. Today I’m back to share with you more about the Romantica fragrance and their Christmas, limited edition Holiday Snow collection!!!

If fairytales were flowers, they will smell like Anna Sui Romantica fragrance – charming, fresh & fabulous~ I love everything about the fragrance, the sweet mesmerizing floral fruit scent, to it’s feminine & girly intricately designed packaging with gold floral details.

Classified as a Sparkling Floral, it is at once joyous and sensuous, lively and exciting. The top note opens with a floaty feeling of Calabria Bergamot, Mandarin Essence, Sparkling Pomegranate, and Watery Quince. It is giddy, it is glorious, it is like falling in love all over again.

Soon to be followed by Rose de Mai, Osmanthus Absolute, Jasmine Petals, and Orange Blossom, the romance builds to a crescendo, awakening a deeper sensuality. Water Lily and Peony Blossom add a touch of whimsy and freshness to the heart.

And then it settles with White Ceylon Cedarwood, Sheer Amber, Indonesian Sandalwood, and Creamy Musk.

Anna Sui Romantica 30ml: $68
Anna Sui Romantica 50ml: $93
Anna Sui Romantica 75ml: $119

Anna Sui’s Holiday Snow Collection offers 2 options, Frozen Love & Thawed Heart ($88 per collection), pictured.
Each collection comes with:
• Rose Cheek Color N 6g
• Lip Stick M 3g
• Color Powder 2.3g
• Box(Size: W150mm × H58mm × D103mm/Material: Wood, artificial leather)

Anna Sui’s Holiday Snow Collection comes in a very precious and attractive packaging which definitely makes for a great Christmas gift for your girlfriend. Priced at $88, it’s also a value set with 3 beauty products and a solid wooden casing which is super pretty!

Anna Sui Holiday Snow Collection, 01 Frozen Love & 02 Thawed Heart.

In addition of Holiday Snow collection, here are also some items on sale. Apart from the eyeshadow, they are all limited edition:

E Pure Membranous Jelly Mask Review

December 14, 2015 Ena Teo Leave a comment

Hi Loves!

Are you a facial mask lover? If you are, I am sure you are familiar with mask sheets which are popular in Korea and Taiwan, as well as Clay masks which are popular in US. But, have you heard about Jelly Mask? Well, I sure haven’t before I tried ePure Membranous Jelly Mask and I must say, it is a very special mask!
ePure Membranous Jelly Mask comes in a box of 3, with a spatula, $39.90 / box.

Main ingredients include Alpha Arbutin, Seaweed Extract, Epure Natural Vanila Scent, Jojoba Leaf Extract, & Hyaluronic Acid – Triple Moist Complex (HA-TMC).

ePure mask boasts that after 25 minutes, it leaves the skin 60% more hydrated, 55% more refined and 52% brighter.

Directions:
1. Apply jelly mask with the spatula, apply a thick layer 0.3-0.5cm.
2. Relax and leave on for 15-30 minutes.
3. Wash it off using warm water.
4. Mask can be apply to eyes area to lighten dark eyes circle.

Tips
For the first month of using éPure, use 3 times a week.
After the first month of using éPure, you can cut down on the frequency to once OR twice a week depending on the results that you are after.
Mask can be applied to eye area to lighten dark eye circles and problem area can apply thicker for better result.

My Review
I really enjoyed using the ePure jelly mask and can see why it has become quite the cult mask in Asia. Whilst the application requires more effort than a facial sheet mask, the experience is also correspondingly more refreshing. The jelly mask is translucent and clear from the sachet and after leaving it on for 30 minutes, it is as though the jelly absorbs all the oil and dirt from the pores that it becomes slightly cloudy when removed. The other remarkable quality of the mask is that it leaves the skin super refreshed, which can be accrued to the Hyaluaronic Acid which deeply hydrates the skin and leaving it supple for many hours.

PURCHASE NOW to enjoy the launching price of $49.90 (U.P.$59.90) for a pack of 5. Log on to www.epureskin.com.sg Or PM them on facebook.com/epureskinsg!
Email: info@epureskin.com.sg

The Body Shop Christmas Party

December 14, 2015 Ena Teo Leave a comment

Hi Loves!

Christmas is literally just round the corner and I’ll be blogging about all things Christmas related these few days! ^^ The Body Shop hosted the first Christmas media preview (that I’ve attended, that is) which I think is more appropriate to call it a party, it was so much fun! After learning about all the new Christmas products for sale and the charity work The Body Shop is taking part in this Christmas, we went around the venue making Christmas themed souvenirs, food & drinks. Just thinking about it now makes me want to organize a similar Christmas party with a few friends and have fun! Enough of my introduction, scroll on for photos and captions! ^^

DJ Yasminne was host and glistening in a beautiful golden dress.
We walked down this black infographic path while also learning about striking information about water scarcity in some places that WaterAid is reaching out to.

For over 650 million people across the world, access to safe water is not even possible and around 1,400 people die each day from diseases caused by dirty water and poor sanitation.

This Christmas, The Body Shop is partnering with international charity WaterAid to help transform lives through access to safe water. For every specially selected gift bought, WaterAid can provide a family in Ethiopia with one day of safe water.

Mix fruits – fresh plum, apples & cranberries.
Mix cocktail!
Raspberry or Apple? 🙂
Rachel and My DIY bracelets for Christmas!
DIY desserts in a “jar”.

Savoury quiches and food at Food for Thought at Botanic Gardens.
This year’s The Body Shop NEW seasonal ingredient is the Frosted Plum! This is in addition to the Apple & Cranberry Christmas only limited edition ranges.
Feast your senses and indulge your body with the sweet, sophisticated extracts of plum from the orchard of Turkey. With an elegant blend of ripe plum, magnolia and peony notes, this special edition fruity floral range is an irresistibly indulgent skin treat, sure to get you in the festive spirit.

Fans of green tea can also take delight in the Fuji Green Tea range.

Cute art deco style packaging on the front.Lip & Cheek Stain Scarlet Starlet ($39.90), Swinging Silver Palette & Grooving Gold Palette ($36.90). I really love the eyeshadow palettes. The colour payoff for the eyeshadow palette is great. Swinging Silver gives a cooler, edgier vibe while Grooving Gold gives a warmer & glamourous look. These colours will also last you beyond the Christmas season, highly recommended! See the full Christmas limited edition make up collection here.

DCS Nutriderm Ultra Nutrition Range

December 14, 2015 Ena Teo 2 Comments

Hi Loves!

Are you on the look out for anti-aging skincare for sensitive skin? Well, then DCS Nutriderm Ultra Nutrition is what you’re looking for!

From the brand that harnesses the volcanic power of Jeju, DCS helps women to embrace youthful and dewy skin with its anti-ageing range, NUTRIDERM. Keeping away fine lines with the powerful anti-ageing properties of the rare Korean ginseng berry, this NUTRIDERM range is gentle on the skin and kind on the wallet.

The Korean ginseng berry can only be harvested once every four years over a seven-day period, giving rise to its rarity and value. Its powerful anti-ageing properties make the Korean ginseng berry a prized ingredient in Korean skincare. DCS NUTRIDERM offers premium ingredients at a modest price.

Other than the Korean ginseng berry, another key ingredient that gives skin its dewy nature is Jeju’s volcanic seawater. Just like all DCS product ranges, the anti-ageing NUTRIDERM range is also infused with the pure, skin-loving water from Jeju, which repairs and regenerates the skin.

On top of the Korean ginseng berry and Jeju’s volcanic seawater, NUTRIDERM products contain other nature-based ingredients. Hypoallergenic and gentle on the skin, nature-based ingredients provide your skin with the care it needs without stripping the skin’s natural moisture.

Youthful, glowing skin has to be maintained and preserved over time – one must start incorporating anti-ageing products as soon as we can, as the skin starts to age naturally by the mid-twenties.

If you wish to achieve a glowing, youthful appearance, NUTRIDERM presents four products to incorporate into your daily regime: Ultra Nutrition Toner ($33.50), Ultra Nutrition Ampoule ($53) , Ultra Nutrition Day Cream ($41), and Ultra Nutrition Night Cream ($41).

My Review

Having tried DCS Nutriderm Ultra Nutrition range, I can attest that this range is suitable for sensitive skin, keeping the skin hydrated. Whilst the name sounds intimidating as “Ultra Nutrition” sounds like it is too rich for skin in the 20’s age bracket, DCS Nutriderm Ultra Nutrition range and products are suitable for younger skin too. One of the key ingredient in the range is Korean Ginseng Berry for its anti-aging properties, so there is a discernible Ginseng scent in the range. I expect that this range will be more popular with older women, or women who loves a luxurious herbal ginseng scent. If you’re on the lookout for anti-aging skincare for sensitive skin, I would recommend DCS Nutriderm Ultra Nutrition range.

DCS Nutriderm Ultra Nutrition range is now available at selected Watsons stores.

Thank you DCS Singapore & Media Flair PR for sending the range over for review.

Ceramiracle Supplement for Youthful Skin Review

December 14, 2015 Ena Teo Leave a comment

Hi Loves!

Do you believe that beauty comes from within? No, I don’t just mean being kind and loving, I mean beauty comes from what you feed your body, which reflects on your skin!

If you feel like your skin needs that extra booster, today I’d like to share about Ceramiracle, the result of a collaboration with Ceramiracle Australia and CIT Korea, Ceramiracle is an anti-ageing and whitening line of supplements and skin care products developed for the Asian skin.

The brand’s first product to debut is Ceramides Skin Supplement, a premium and advance anti-ageing formula featuring two patented ingredients backed by four clinical studies. At just one capsule a day, Ceramides Skin Supplement can dramatically increase skin hydration, reduce fine lines, brighten and even skin tone in 15 days. A world’s first, Ceramides Skin Supplement also contains a standardized gynostemma pentaphyllum extract specially developed by Tek Eight.

KEY INGREDIENTS

Ceramosides® – patented extract containing a highly concentrated complex of phytoceramides and digalactosyl diglycerides (DGDG). Ceramosides® is clinically proven to improve skin hydration and skin texture in just 15 days.

PhytoflOral® – patented white tomato extract standardized for the colourless carotenoids phytoene and phytofluene, PhytoflOral® is clinically proven to brighten and lighten skin tone by resisting sun damage and inhibiting melanin synthesis.

Gynostemma (Jiaogulan) – a traditional Chinese longevity herb, gynostemma is rich in flavonoids and gypenosides that have been studied for its function in reducing collagen degradation, preventing UV-induced damage and cell death.

Pine bark extract – a powerful antioxidant that improves skin ageing signs by increasing skin elasticity and hydration.

Hyaluronic acid – a vital component of skin structure, hyaluronic acid supports skin moisture, suppleness and elasticity.

L-Glutathione – an important antioxidant in humans, L-glutathione delays skin ageing with a skin-whitening effect.

DIRECTIONS
Take one capsule after food once daily.

MY REVIEW
I have completed the entire bottle and while it is hard to discern if my skin has gotten lighter and more hydrated because my skin is not very dark and dry to begin with, what I do like is that Ceramiracle has helped to strengthen my skin and nails, my nails are usually brittle but it has become strong and does not chip. The supplement comes in a flavourless capsule form and is easy to digest. If you are looking for a skincare supplement for skin lightening and hydration, I recommend that you give Ceramiracle a try!

CERAMIRACLE Ceramides Skin Supplement is available islandwide at Guardian pharmacies. It retails at S$89.00/bottle ($82 on Guardian website, at the point of writing this article) of 30 capsules. You can also purchase directly from their website here.

Thank you Ceramiracle & Access Comm for the supplement for review.

Purple Hair @ Chez Vous

December 11, 2015 Ena Teo 1 Comment

Hi Loves!

Well, a few months back I sported purple hair, just in case you missed it on my IG. I did it for Chez Vous’ look book – for a detailed explanation of how to achieve the look, check it out here! For all 20 look, see here.

What I learnt about sporting purple hair:
1. It required bleaching my hair 3x to get a blondish colour before dye-ing purple. It lasts for about 3 weeks before it all fades, leaving just a tad purple at the base.
2. A lot of people will come up to you and say “Wow, you’re so brave!” which I later figured out it’s a nicer way of saying, “Wow, that’s crazy!”. Yes, really. That said, it was a real conversation starter. People I’m not really close to at work/office will start conversations with my hair colour “Oh, it has faded? That fast?” “How do you maintain this!”.
3. Speaking of maintenance. Let’s just say that crazy coloured hair that requires bleaching your hair 3x is not for the faint hearted or the lazy (which I am, but for my hair… I was rather diligent..). I won’t bore you with the details, but if you are keen, maybe I will share another post of how diligent I was in hair maintenance, post purple hair. Honestly I won’t dare repeat such a feat without the trusted hair directors at Chez Vous. Leave the bleach on too long or too near your scalp and you might get burned. It will damage your hair, that’s for sure, but it’s how you lessen the damage during the colour and how you take care with post hair colour treatments, to give your hair some semblance of life…
4. Once in my life is enough. I don’t regret having my hair in a pretty purple, YOLO, guys. Gotta try it at least once! And if not now, then when? I don’t want to be 30, married with kids and sporting purple hair. Not judging those that do, just not something I’d do when I’m 30… I think.

Wow, didn’t know there was so much I had to share about my purple hair colour journey!

Some snaps from when I had purple hair!:
Getting my hair bleached 3 x…Till it was in a hair colour that reminded me of Naruto…
And having PURPLE hair. Omg guys.
Yes that’s me, getting very amused seeing myself with fantasy like purple hair! Like is this for real? Is that my real hair? YES. FURREAL.

Cue many selfies and looks with my brilliant purple hair: I could be a Yakuza in my previous life. (Yearite…)
Or I could just be me, but with purple hair! ^^

Went back for a treatment because Purple hair requires it. Rather, bleached hair requires maintenance, don’t say I didn’t warn ya!
Purple hair + curls? Hair life doesn’t get any better than this right?
Love my purple hair curls!

This was probably when I LOVED my purple hair colour the MOST. When it was fading and it was like Unicorn hair!!! <3 Alas, it only lasted about a week for this perfect hair colour. Am honestly amazed at girls who can maintain their pastel hair colour for like forever, HOW DO YOU DO IT?

Take part in this giveaway here! (P.S. It’s only until 15 Dec 2015)

TheFaceShop Ink Lipquid Review

December 8, 2015 Ena Teo Leave a comment

Hi Loves!

Do you fancy lipsticks but sometimes wish they were more moisturising? Or perhaps you like lip gloss but wish they were less sticky and more pigmented?

Well, TheFaceShop make up creators definitely heard your wishes because they’ve come up with Ink Lipquid which promises to be Lipstick, Lip gloss & Lip Tint all in one, plus it’s super moisturizing. What I love about Ink Lipquid is that it delivers the colours while retaining its hydrating sensation and it has a sweet scent.

3 Key Points of Ink Lipquid:

Lasts for 12 hours with serum base moisture
Maintains moisture on lips with 70% water base (*Clinical test complete)
Color stain maintained for 12 hours
Vivid colours that are long lasting on lips for up to 12 hours (*Clinical test complete)
A light touch with the pen’s tip completes fully colored lips
An ink pen tip like brush helps in application of colour, presenting a clear lip shape

The new Ink Lipquid is equipped with THEFACESHOP’s very own makeup technology- “Moisture Holding System”. This makeup technology helps maintain moisture with its water-holding ingredient.

In addition, the “Ink Staying Polymer” technology helps maintain fresh and clean make up through creating a light and transparent film layer that holds moisture and color.

Overall I find that these Ink Lipquids appealing because of the moisturizing texture, scent and lasting tints, if you’re picking the lighter colours, you may have to swipe 2 layers, especially if you have darker lips like I do.

TheFaceShop Ink Liquids are available in stores island wide.

Thank you TheFaceShop Singapore for sending these Ink Lipquids over for review!

Anna Sui’s makeup artist & trainer used the silver as a base followed by the golds & browns and finished with the pop of orange above the pupil(center of eyelids). The trick to applying the BB creams is to use it sparingly over the face, layering where the blemishes and spots are. You can also use both the Protective BB cream and Illuminating BB cream together, use the Protective BB cream first followed by focusing the Illuminating BB cream on the cheeks and nose bridge for a bright & dewy look. Then lightly dab on the loose powder! You can dab all over for a matte look or avoid the cheeks so it remains glowy. I love that the Anna Sui BB cream & loose powder provides good coverage and it still feels lightweight on the skin.

Melissa also used Anna Sui skincare, before the makeup, it’s super good! Will update and share if they are launching in Singapore soon!

My skin shade suits 02, natural beige better. Visit the counter to test and see which suits your skin tone better!

Starry Anna Sui’s lipsticks~ FYI, their blushers and lipsticks are rose scented, if you are a rose lover, you will love them!!!
An array of bell shaped nail colours so whimsical!

Last but not least, they have also launched a new fruity floral fragrance, Romantica, will have another blog post on this!
LOVE the floral inspired bottle with pink & gold colours, so precious! This is most likely going to one of the most popular fragrance this season because of its appealing scent and packaging!
Anna Sui Cosmetics are available at Isetan Scotts & BHG counter.

Thank you Anna Sui Cosmetics SG for the preview invitation & makeover!

Tsubaki Extra Moist Range

November 22, 2015 Ena Teo Leave a comment

Hi Loves!

The last time, I reviewed Tsubaki’s hair oil on my post here. This time, it’s about their newer haircare ranges, in particular the Tsubaki Extra Moist Range! I’ve used it for a while and I really like it because it’s great for moisturizing my coloured hair. If you’re like me and you need a moisturizing haircare range, I definitely recommend Tsubaki, plus it smells amazing!

Check out photos from their media preview~
The event was held at Tsubu at Orchard Gateway and we were each given a survey to decide which of the 3 new ranges would suit our hair!
Here is the Extra Moist Range, which was best for my hair.

Here is the Volume Touch Range.
And the damage care range. This event was before I started on my crazy hair colours, I probably need this range now, haha!
Ootd taking outside Tburu. Went all Print on Print on Print that day!
Took home a set for review~Went for dinner at Kko Kko Nara and had stew with Sheena after the event!

Thank you Tsubaki and Sheena for the lovely afternoon~

L’Oreal’s Extraordinary Oil Haircare Range

November 22, 2015 Ena Teo Leave a comment

Hi Loves!

A few months back I was invited by Clozette to review L’Oreal’s Extraordinary Oil Haircare Range at Maax Salon, conveniently located at Siglap which is near my place.

The L’Oreal Extraordinary Oil Haircare range smells amazing as it contains 6 types of floral oils and has many amazing benefits which leaves my hair nourished and silky after the wash & blow. I love it very much.

You can check out the video testimonial on Clozette TV’s site below. 😉

Watch the video as Clozette Ambassadors and I share our reviews of the Extraordinary Oil Haircare range on Clozette TV site here!

Bonus: Watch this hilariously cute Youtube video about the 12 types of boyfriends and how they will help their girlfriend dry their hair (or not, lol):

MTG’s ReFa S Carat & Plosion

November 22, 2015 Ena Teo 2 Comments

Hi Loves!

MTG should not be new to you as I’ve previously featured MTG’s ReFa Carat Facial & Body Massager on my blog post here. So, a while back, I was invited again for their bloggers’ & media preview as MTG launched in Singapore, their ReFa S Carat which is a smaller, sleeker version of the ReFa Carat, as well as Plosion carbonated mist set, which is a beauty product coming from Japan, more of that below!

ReFa S Carat is more suitable as a facial massage – for the nose, cheeks, side of face – as compared to the bigger ReFa Carat. Priced at S$220. For more information and to purchase, visit their Singapore site here.
Here, the MTG Singapore director is giving a demo of MTG products on the model. Always remarkable when he works on one side of the face to show the difference from the other! I suggest that you pop by one of their stores and test it out for yourself. 😉

Now on to MTG’s PLOSION – it’s designed for convenience and functionality, the PLOSION diffuser has a portable compact body capable of emitting a small but powerful jet of carbonated mist containing three times the average concentration of carbonic acid. Carbonic acid has emerged as a new beauty trend in Japan and the treatment aims to give your skin a healthy dose of hydration, anytime anywhere.

Before I attended this media preview session, I was honestly clueless about carbonic acid because well, it’s not something that’s popular in Singapore – at least something that I was unaware about! So I did some research about it before the event and I was quite surprised with the results I found, namely that it’s already super popular in Japan. And the MTG staff told us that they have already introduced Plosion way back in 2008 in Japan(!) and the version that they are now introducing in Singapore is already quite advanced.

So more about Carbonic Acid, taken from this JapanHotNow article dated from 2013:

Carbonic acid: From food to cosmetics!

Carbonic acid has taken Japan’s health and beauty scene by storm in the last several years. The trend started with popular carbonated-water diets and moved to a huge boom in carbonated bath salts, hair and scalp treatments, and now cosmetics!

Carbonic acid lifts dirt from pores, promotes healthy circulation, and more. Blood circulation in the skin is what promotes cell turnover, which has a host of skin benefits–including fighting dullness and spots as well as combatting sagging and swelling.

Sounds amazing, huh? How come I haven’t heard of it earlier in Singapore? HAHA.

The PLOSION Carbonated Mist Handy set comes with:

1x Carbonated Mist Diffuser
2x PLOSION Face Essential Lotion (13ml) (S$79 each for refills)
1x CO2 Cartridge (S$20 each for refills)
Retail price: S$399
Available in 3 colours, silver, white & dark red.
For more information and to purchase, visit the site here.

I’ve tried the Plosion product, it definitely feels very refreshing and moisturizing. It’s supposed to also be able to lift sagging skin, although I won’t be able to tell or see the difference. The product should last you about 30 days if you use it daily, refills would cost about $99. It’s definitely a product targeted at the more mature crowd, considering the product features and price point!
Also loving the media preview space at Cosentino gallery, more of the space in another blog post!

Thank you MTG Singapore & Touch PR for the invite & ReFa S Carat!
