Diptyque’s Florabellio Launch @ Escentials Paragon

August 14, 2015 Ena Teo Leave a comment

Hi Loves!

I’m finally getting up to speed on posting about Diptyque’s Florabellio fragrance launch on the blog, yay! That’s why you should follow me on my Instagram @ena_teo and Facebook if you haven’t, because I update these platforms when I’m at events/ on the spot moments! Sometimes I get kind of torn and think about ditching my blog cause it takes so much more effort to publish a post, but then I think about how people can’t find an Instagram post like they can find a blog post when they google for reviews, and of course I’ve come to compile sooo much content on my blog that obviously I can’t give up on it, it’s too precious. So I just need to work on updating my blog more often! #Icandothis #Ivegotit 😀

For the uninitiated, Diptyque is a Parisian that started off at 34 boulevard Saint Germain as a home decor brand of sorts before they expanded to include home and personal fragrances. Now they’ve reached a cult status as a home fragrance brand for the discerning, just check out #Diptyque on Instagram.

Diptyque’s new spring fragrance Florabellio is inspired by Diptyque’s founder Christiane Gautrot’s childhood memories growing up by the Normandy seaside, apple orchards and smelling fresh coffee in the morning. 🙇🌊🍎🌳☕️ (Yay to emoticons on the blog! hahaha) This unique scent starts with the freshness of osmanthus, layered with sea fennel (smells similar to the peppery anise), apple blossoms and ends with coffee notes. After application, the scent smells powdery or musky on different skin. All in all, a refreshing spring scent that ends on a nostalgic & sensual note.

I personally really enjoyed the intimate blogger/instagrammer session organized by escentials, I love how they evoked our various senses with the visual projection, story telling, illustrations and of course fragrances that make up the new scent. It was a beautiful experience! I recommend the use of this fragrance if you’re an outdoorsy kind of person or for an outdoor date. 😌🍃

The 50ml retails for $144 and the 100ml retails for $190. escentials is located at Paragon, 290 Orchard Road, #03-02/05, Singapore 238859. Tel: 6737 2478. Thank you escentials for the lovely evening & Leanne for the invite~

Touch Up at Chez Vous

August 14, 2015 Ena Teo Leave a comment

Hi Loves!

Lol, I know my hair colour is completely different by now, and it shouldn’t come as a surprise if you’re my frequent blog reader cause I take forever and a day to update my blog. But, ahem, just a few months ago, when my hair colour was in a very vibrant blondish brown with ash grey highlights, I had my hair roots touched up and here are the pictures! Looking back at these photos made me realize that I really do like this hair colour on me, must be my inner LA girl unleashed! Also, I’ve come to really like my Chez Vous salon trip updates on my blog, because they give me a legit reason to spam selfies, HAHAHA. 😛 Thanks Jamie for the original hair dye and Shawn (pictured below) for the touch up! And as always, thanks Eugene and Chez Vous bosses for always giving me a slot like every month/other month for my hair adventures/transformation, kekeke. I like how silly/cool I look with this hair machine/helmet looking thing. 😛
Thank you Shawn! You know what they say, toilet selfies are the best, no?

Visit Chez Vous Salon at 391 Orchard Road, Ngee Ann City #05-05, Call 6732 9388 to book your appointment, lest they’re fully booked if you walk in.

Till the next update!

Grand Plastic Surgery Korea Blogger Event & Prestige Cell (Anti Wrinkle) Mask Review

August 14, 2015 Ena Teo Leave a comment

Hi Loves!

A while back I was invited for a Grand Plastic Surgery Korea blogger event to hear and learn more about Grand Plastic Surgery Korea and the services/treatments they have to offer. They tout themselves to be Korea’s biggest plastic surgery center with 4300m2 across their 21 stories building. Their Sinsa Main Center is fully equipped with state of the art medical facility and they offer one stop service from consultation, treatment, surgery, recovery and post care.

Naturally they provide a comprehensive list of surgery treatments including Eyes, Nose, Fat Grafting (voluminous baby face is apparently popular in Korea now, which for the life of me, I can’t understand why, especially since people with baby face are actively trying to get rid of the excess fats), Anti-aging (Face lift), Breast and Body Contouring and Jaws/Facial Contouring.

We also heard from Jacqueline aka GollyLocks, who gone through double eyelids and jaw reduction/facial contouring done at Plastic Surgery Korea. She said it was a painless experience, which obviously came as a shock to the other bloggers in attendance. She’s very satisfied with the results and recommends their services.

Along with 2 other bloggers, I had the chance to meet one of the Grand Plastic Surgery doctor for a quick consultation at the event. I enquired about double eyelid surgery (would/might want to go for one in the future) and he was quite confident that I can get my even double eyelids for my eyes, as I currently have uneven double/single eyelids. I enquired about the failure percentage at Grand Plastic, to which he said is less than 5% as each doctor specialises in a certain area so they are very skilled and they also offer free rectification surgery.

The staff followed up with an email on the recommended surgery after the consultation, their rates and recommended length of stay after the session:

[Eyelid Surgery]

1. Natural Adhesion Method
1,500,000 ~ 1,700,000 Korean won (>$1500SGD)

2. Ptosis Correction
700,000 ~ 900,000 Korean won (>$800SGD)

The minimum recommended stay is 3~ 4 days in Korea to have post surgery treatment and outside stitches removed. If you could stay up to 6 ~ 7 days it may be even better to check on your recovery.

S$2300 for an eyelid surgery is definitely cheaper than in Singapore, which costs about S$3000 or more and by doctors who are likely not as skilled then those in Korea who likely perform on hundreds a week, if not days. But if you include airfare and hotel stay in Korea then it’s definitely more expensive, haha.

I can’t attest nor recommend their services since I’ve not tried them before, nonetheless I do think they’re worth considering if you’re preparing to head to Korea to have an eye/nose/jaw/boob/facelift job done! Check out their english website here and email them here if you’re keen to enquire about the fees, consultation and surgery details, etc.

What I would recommend is that you look for a Korean friend to help you make the booking in Korean if possible, as I’ve heard from friend/friend of friends who’ve been to Korea for beauty services/treatments/surgery that it’s cheaper when a Korean makes the booking in Korean. Plus, Koreans themselves would most likely know which clinic is credible and recommend the really good clinics, right?

Plus, my review of Grand Plastic’s Prestige Cell (Anti Wrinkle) Mask is at the end of the post.
Snapping selfies before the event which was held at a restaurant/Joie By Dozo at Orchard Central, which is one of my favourite malls in town, the other being 313 Somerset, because they have SO MANY YUMMY RESTAURANTS. I digress.Jacqueline shares her own experience with Grand Plastic Korea, yes she travelled to Korea for the surgeries. You can read about her experience on her blog here!

During the consultation with the doctor, blogger friend before me was asking about liposuction.

Waiting for my consultation, which was held on stage and by my turn I don’t think the other bloggers were keen/following with the consultation questions, lol.
Wefie with Melissa and Jacqueline!<3 Lighting was really good.
So I snapped a few more, keke. Headed for a surprise birthday celebration for a colleague at Studio M Hotel after the event, snapped more selfies while I was on the way! 😀

I’m not a huge mask person because I’m generally a really ~~lazy~~ hassle free person that don’t seem to find that 15-20 min time period for a seat in facial mask, ha. And I also tend to be put off by really fancy masks like snail essence #IJustCant. So it’s kind of thankfully that I didn’t read the ingredients into the mask before I used it because this Prestige Cell (Anti Wrinkle) Mask contains 5% cord blood derived stem cells. with 30 different skin regeneration factors to reduce wrinkles and give you youthful/supple looking skin. I probably shouldn’t be grossed out because the ingredient is an extract/derivative from laboratory and not actual blood per se. And I will still use the 2 other masks I have (3 in the pack I was given) because it does feel really good. The mask sheet is premium fibre sheet that promises to hold more of the cord blood derived stem cells and hold on to the face better, and when I first touched it I could tell it’s better quality then the usual/normal ones and they did cover my face snugly until it began to dry out with time before it came off. The mask is free from fragrance, artificial ingredients, ethanol, paraben, mineral oil, so I reckon this is good for sensitive skin types too! Use this face mask after washing and toner. Remove after 15-20minutes and dab remaining essence into the skin for absorption. I recommend using this mask in the evening so you can wake up to refreshed skin. Only found 1 online site selling these Prestige Cell Masks (no guarantee if the site is credible or not though) and it’s selling at 65HKD/$12SGD which is surprisingly cheap cause I was expecting the mask to be like SKII pricing, which is $122 for 6 or $20/mask. I haven’t actually tried SK-II mask before, but if you’re looking for a cheaper alternative, perhaps you can try this! 🙂

Thank you Grand Plastic Surgery Korea and Incite Comms for the blogger event invite and masks for review!

August 13, 2015 Ena Teo Leave a comment

Hi Loves!

A while back, I had a blast at Watson’s Girl’s Day Out at NEX along with my fellow bloggers and beauty enthusiasts Joanna and Charissa. There were more than 10 health/beauty booths promoting their latest health or beauty related products on site. It was like we were attending a mini health and beauty expo and it was fascinating to have so brand/product presentations within 2 hours! The atrium event lasted a week, be sure to follow Watsons on their FB and IG for their future events and promotions updates. 🙂

Kerasal nail care.Scholl feet care.
Smilemakers, really friendly looking vibrators.And the good looking folks of Smilemakers with Joanna. Basically they had this idea to create vibrators that were friendly looking and you could buy them from drugstores instead of going into an intimidating sex shop. Joanna and I trying out the Energeyes glasses, these promise to protect you against the digital glare from laptops and well, digital screens. “What is this doing in our goodie bag?” Charissa and I having a good laugh that the smilemakers made it into our goodie bag, lol!

Be Rejuvenated with Vedure Mineral Earth Full Body Massage

August 13, 2015 Ena Teo Leave a comment

Hi Loves!

A while back I paid Vedure Medispa a visit for their Vedure Mineral Earth Full Body Massage and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Even though they were running out of the clayspray and had to mix two types (red and white clay) to make up for enough clay for the body treatment, it was still awesome nonetheless! I would expect them to not run out of the clayspray in future though, it might be good to check with them when you make your appointment. 🙂 The treatment consists of an hour of relaxing and soothing massage followed by 20 minutes wrapped up in blanket before showering off to reveal remarkable baby smooth skin that lasts for days. After the entire session, I felt super relaxed and really good. Although it’s pricey, I highly recommend this treatment as a treat for yourself or as a treat for someone you love! Special mention to the lovely masseuse who provided great service. With skilled and courteous masseuse like her, it’s no wonder that Vedure is an award winning medispa and favored by many local celebrities (check out Vedure’s IG)! It’s also very conveniently located at Wheelock Place. 🙂

Provided that it’s restocked, you can opt for 2 types of Clay; Red (all skin types) or White (for sensitive skin).

Shower in the corner of the room.
Awesome view for those who are planning to head down for nails treatments!

Delicious tea and bites after the treatment.

Vedure’s Mineral Earth Full Body Massage is priced at:
1 Hour – $198

90 min – $238

Breakfast with Penhaligon’s; Ostara Fragrance Launch

August 12, 2015 Ena Teo Leave a comment

Hi Loves~

This morning I’m thinking of the breakfast I had at Penhaligon’s where we immersed in the new Ostara fragrance and indulged in pastries. It was a cozy and extravagant affair.

Ostara, the floral scent is created by Master Perfumer Bertrand Duchaufour. Inspired by the daffodil, the fragrance is a modern interpretation of this delicate flower. An iconic feature of the British countryside, the daffodil symbolizes the optimism and revival of spring. In 1802, the distinguished poet William Wordsworth wrote about a sea of daffodils in his poem, ‘I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud.’

Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.

This spring time fragrance is a unique blend of scents which notably opens with fresh greens, layered with fruity clementines and blackcurrents before ending off on a powdery amber and woody note. I’m truly quite mesmerized by this lovely scent. This fragrance is perfect for an outdoor date at the park or an adventure about the city.

Penhaligon’s has worked with artist Melissa Bailey to create a beautiful and unique illustration of Ostara exclusively for the launch. Melissa used gentle brush strokes to recreate the fragrance in her own distinct style in a combination of watercolours and inks.

Top Notes: Clementine, Bergamot, Red Berries CO2, Juniper, Spearmint, Blackcurrant Bud CO2, Violet Leaf Absolute, Leafy Effects, Aldehydes
Heart Notes: Hyacinth, Narcissus Absolute, Beeswax Absolute, Cyclamen, Ylang Ylang, Hawthorn, Wisteria

Base Notes: Styrax Resinoid, Vanilla, Benzoin, Musk, Amber, White Wood Effects

The complete Ostara Collection:
Ostara 50ml $205
Ostara 100ml $290

Penhaligon’s Ltd is located at 10 Bayfront Avenue #01-34 Marina Bay Sands Singapore 018956 and
2 Orchard Turn #03-16 ION Orchard Singapore 238801

Thank you Penhaligon’s Singapore and Touch PR for having me for this intimate breakfast session. <3

Soft & Airy Hair Blowout at Chez Vous

Hi Loves!

A few months back, I was involved in the shooting of a local documentary commissioned by Discovery Channel for SG50, the short film is titled Heartland and you can check out the details on their microsite here and visit their FB here. From 17-21 August, Heartland will be showing daily at 6pm on Discovery Channel SEA, Starhub Ch 422. I actually haven’t seen the full film and hopefully will have the chance to watch it soon. I’m playing my role as a property agent and giving KC a tour of Tiong Bahru, heh. Did you know that Tiong Bahru was one of the earliest HDB estate in Singapore? And that the designs of the old HDBs there are inspired by the 1920s transportation modes like airplane? #NowYouKnow 😉 Anyways, before the filming, the kind folks at Chez Vous helped to give me a soft and airy look, so I can look pretty on screen. 😛 I love the look! Much thanks to Jaime and Eugene at Chez Vous! <3

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!

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!

August 3, 2015 Ena Teo 20 Comments

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! 😉

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.

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

Westgate, #02-18

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

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

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! 😉
