Crabtree & Evelyn Damask Rose Everyday Skincare Collection Preview

December 7, 2014 Ena Teo 3 Comments

Hi Loves!

A while back I attended the media preview for Crabtree & Evelyn Singapore’s Damask Rose Everyday Skincare Collection at their flagship store at Ngee Ann City. It was my first time attending their media launch in store and I found myself to be in for a real sweet treat with their Damask Rose skincare collection welcoming me at the entrance, fresh roses on the left and rose inspired cakes and more on the right. I don’t know about you, but I am a major flower lover and I have a soft spot for roses, peonies and rancanculus – flowers that have layers upon layers of petals. So. Much. Love.

The Damask Rose Everyday Skincare Collection is formulated with natural ingredients chosen for their ability to deeply moisturize and rejuvenate even dry and sensitive skin. The 3 key ingredients are French Damask Rose, Rose of Jericho & Hollyhock. Essentially these ingredients are known to be intensely moisturizing, brings immediate and long lasting hydration and anti-inflammatory properties.

The collection features 10 products; 3 cleansers, 2 toners, 3 moisturiser & 2 masks. I picked Cleanser: Freshening Cleansing Lotion (100ml), Toner: Relaxing Micellar Water (150ml) & Moisturizer: Hydrating Day Lotion (50ml). The cleanser has to be shaken to blend the oils and actives before usage. I love how it cleanses and leaves my skin feeling refreshed. However I was initially confused and used this as the toner (yes I didn’t read the description properly, just assumed “lotion” as toner) so I was confused why it was slightly oily. However after getting the confusion out of the way, this is a great lightweight cleanser that can be used out of the shower. I love the Relaxing Micellar Water (toner). I’ve been using it regularly now – replacing my Kose toner which has just run out – it doubles as a cleanser too, removing any residual impurities and tones the skin. The hydrating day lotion is white in colour and moderate in consistency. It’s supposedly a lightweight moisturizer however I find that it is still slightly heavy for Singapore’s humid weather. For best results, apply it into the face and wait for the it to dry, about 1 min before applying on make up. After the moisturizer sets into the skin, the skin is left soft and supple. But this is a moisturizer only for those with patience, I tend to hurry my skincare and makeup routine on mornings when I am in a rush so I prefer waterbased/gel moisturizers that sinks into the skin real quick. One thing for sure, the entire skincare range has a lovely rose scent that’s sure to be a bonus for floral lovers out there – just like me!

I recommend you to visit & test Crabtree & Evelyn Damask Rose everyday skincare collection in stores and approach their knowledgeable staff to assist you in making the right picks for your skin and preference!

Clozette Ambassadors Tea Party @ Mu Parlour

December 6, 2014 Ena Teo Leave a comment

Hi Loves!

A while back Clozette hosted a tea party for Clozette ambassadors and it was a good time meeting and catching up with fellow Clozette ambassadors. If you haven’t read my previous posts about Clozette, just know that I will visit the site almost daily to see a consolidated updates by fellow fashion and beauty enthusiasts – I am currently following about 100 fashion and beauty influencers, mostly Clozette Ambassadors and Star Clozetters in Singapore and Asia who have fabulous updates. The tea party was a blast and time flies when you’re having fun. We had a delicious array of finger food and tea in a cafe decked out in cute Alice in Wonderland theme and lots of cute pink balloons! We made pink ribbons to raise awareness for Breast Cancer Awareness for the month of October and we also filmed a video to share our love for Clozette. After the event, Vinna, Fenny & I took time to take ootd shots at places nearby. Saturdays should be like this!

Estee Lauder Modern Muse Fragrance Review

December 6, 2014 Ena Teo Leave a comment

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.

The 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.

Supermodel Arizona fronts Modern Muse campaign at the top of New York’s Guggenheim Museum.

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.

Crabtree & Evelyn Nail Lacquers & Handy Tips

December 6, 2014 Ena Teo Leave a comment

Hi Loves!

This is my 5th post in 3 days. I’m on a roll, ain’t I? 😛 I’m really behind on a lot of my beauty & event reviews, not including my own personal food reviews and lifestyle posts… hopefully I can make it in good time to complete my postings for this year within this last month of December! At this rate that I’m posting I think its possible, heh! 😀

A while back I received this really really pretty parcel from Crabtree & Evelyn. It definitely rank tops in terms of the cutest packaging delivered to my house this year! It’s a bag in the form of a tree full of Crabtree & Evelyn Hand Therapy creams, with a hand cream in Carribbean Island Wild Flowers which I’ve previously reviewed and love, their new and very own nail lacquer in red and super clever nail polish remover wipes! I’ve tried the C&E nail lacquer and it’s so good. It lasts remarkably well, longer than a week for my very active fingernails (typing, paper work, and general carelessness) and it removes SO CLEANLY! #Madlove. I don’t know about you, but removal of nail polish lacquer can be such a pain for me. But this one removed so cleanly and efficiently and it’s not because I changed nail polish remover but because the formulation of the nail lacquer is very good.

And the person that thought of nail polish remover wipes, is a genius! I don’t know why there isn’t such a thing that came earlier in the market? Or maybe it’s just me being ignorant, but it’s my first time seeing such a product and I LOVE IT. I only needed 1 sheet to remove all 10 fingernail polishes and there are 8 individually wrapped sheets. That’s 8 sheets of wonderful convenience guys, you know how you’re running late in the morning and need to rush out but you need to clean up your nails because the paint is all cracked and half gone? These wipes are so handy and slim, no need to lug a bottle of nail polish remover and nth number of cotton wipes!

That’s my freshly painted nails while I was watching Kdrama Fated to Love You. 😀

Thank you Crabtree & Evelyn SG & WOM PR for the lovely parcel!

Hi Loves!

Renaza Wellness turned 8 back in August and celebrated their 8th Anniversary with a bang at their Palais Renaissance outlet. Thanks to Clozette, I had the chance to indulge in a manicure session, a gua sha session followed by tasty refreshments and the most remarkable rose inspired cocktails. It’s frankly the best cocktails I remember having at a beauty event, so fitting to the theme, sweet and refreshing as well! Now you know if you’re out and about around this part of town and need a manicure session or facial, you can visit them!

DKNY MY NY Fragrance Launch & Review

December 5, 2014 Ena Teo Leave a comment

Hi Loves!

A while back I attended the launch of DKNY MY NY fragrance line at 1Altimate at One Raffles Place. DKNY MY fragrance is an energetic and sensual scent with Raspberries and Pink Pepper top notes, Egyptian Jasmine at the heart and ends off with musk and as it’s named, it celebrates the the vibrant women in New York. I am a fan of floral and fruity frangrance, so DKNY MY NY is right up my alley, plus the fragrance bottle is reminiscent of urban cityscape and it’s so stylish. I love to wear this out at night with friends. The fragrance campaign is headlined by Rita Ora, UK born singer songwriter but raised and madly in love with the New York life. I have never been to US, and as it is, I too am enamoured with the Big Apple city, due to scenes from the Gossip Girl and Suits dramas that I’ve watched/been watching. I would love to be able to live in and experience the city as a local someday. If you’d like, visit the DKNY MY NY Microsite and create your very own personalized collage of your NY. Enjoy the video campaign & photos of the launch & fragrance! 😉

The Fragrance: A MODERN, URBAN SPIRIT

Powerfully unique. Irresistibly compelling. Spontaneously playful.
Top: The sexiness of Raspberries and Galbanum spiked with accents of Pink Pepper
Heart: The sensuality of Egyptian Jasmine wrapped with Freesia and roots of Orris
Finish: The soulfulness of Patchouli Heart LMR, Vanilla Absolute and Musk, laced with vibrant Ambergris.

The fragrance will be available islandwide at leading department stores (Metro Paragon, Robinsons JEM, Robinsons Orchard, Robinsons Raffles City, Takashimaya, Tangs Orchard & Tangs VivoCity) and selected perfumeries (SaSa Cosmetics & others)

Make Up Store Autumn 2014 Collection Preview @ Gilman Barracks

December 4, 2014 Ena Teo Leave a comment

Hi Loves!

Sometime back I was invited down to Make Up Store’s Autumn’s 2014 collection preview and along with media and VIP guests we got to see 3 beautiful and very artistic looks from the autumn collections, namely Art, Scream & Paint. You’ll see why they are named that way in the photos! I really loved how the entire preview was presented. It was hosted at an art gallery at Gillman Barracks, amidst beautiful art pieces and decorated canvases according to the 3 themes and looks. Then the host presented the models and a make up artist explained the inspiration, make up & colours behind each look. There was also a host of “live canvases” models for us to test the make up on, but I think all of us were too shy to actually “paint” on their faces! 😛 So we mostly just helped ourselves to the make up bars held up by the lovely ladies and swatched the make up and I was very, very intrigued by the double coloured lipsticks and very very lovely marbled blushers, creamy and pigmented lipsticks and lip liners. You’ll see!

With lovely ladies Rachel, Monica of Make Up Store, Leanna & Winnie.

My picks from the collection, the prettiest marbled blusher Roso Verona, Lipsticks in Duo Graphic & Duo Claude, Lip liner in Dali Matt & Lip stick pen in Boysenberry. How cute that the make up are named after artists? Totally love the entire concept! I have to admit that I can’t bear to use the blusher and lipsticks…. >.< They are soo pretty that I don’t bear to ruin them. T_T”‘

Here’s a look that I wore out that day!

Using Dali Lipliner and Boysenberry Lipstick Pen… super love the colour! Very long lasting too. However the only think i wish for is that the Lipstick Pen to come in a dispensable plastic holder instead of a wooden pencil…
Isn’t the colour most wonderful? Love the payout and vibrant deep purplish red!!!

Visit Make Up Store for your beautiful make up!

November 21, 2014 Ena Teo 1 Comment

Hi Loves!

Yes, it’s the magical time of the year again! The time when we hear Christmas songs playing in the shops & at home. The time when we gather with family and friends over food, drinks & television (no fireplace here in Singapore). Yes, it’s the time for gift exchanges & secret Santa!

Are you busy working and stressing over what to get for your GF/Wife/Special Someone/ Mum/ Colleague? Fret not, because I’ve done the research at the departmental stores’ beauty counters, screened many beauty maven’s IG feeds, processed many PR releases and I’m here with what I’d like to think as THE definitive guide for ALL the ladies in your life! 😉

Christmas Gift Sets For The Special Someone aka Wife/Fiancee/GF

1. The Lancome Happy Holidays Beauty Box, $118 worth $606 with $130 purchase

If I could only have 1 beauty gift this year, this would be it! I’ve seen the set in person and the packaging and products are equally mesmerising as they are on visuals.

So, in order to bring the box home or to gift it, you will need to shell out $130 first. But of course I’ve done the research and decided what you should get:

Choice 1A: Lancome Genefique Youth Activating Duo Prestige Set $216 worth $323

I would recommend this set for ladies above 25 years old.

Choice 1B: Lancome Hydrazen Neocalm Hydrating Cream Prestige Set $98 worth $181.

I would recommend this set for ladies 18-24 years old.

Add on this Lancome Hypnose Doll Eyes Mascara Set $50:

Visit the Lancome Singapore Holiday Microsite for more information.

Another prestige brand that caught my attention while walking around the departmental store is Estee Lauder…

They have seriously gorgeous Christmas packaging and sets this year! #madlove

2. Estee Lauder Limited Edition Luxe Color Set, $108 with $120 purchase

What should you get with $120? You can also use the $120 budget to buy a gift for your Mum, God-Ma, Aunty, BFF or Sister. 😉

Choice 2A: Estee Lauder Beautiful Ultimate Luxuries, $180

Choice 2B: Estee Lauder Modern Muse Trios, $168

Foot Care for Smooth Feet

November 8, 2014 Ena Teo Leave a comment

Hi Loves!

Today I’m sharing about a part of our body that I feel is a little neglected, unloved… Our feet! Well, or is it just me? I usually don/t pay much attention to my feet, though I make sure I scrub it thoroughly at least once a month (oops, is that too long an interval even? >.<) especially removing the dead skin and dirt that has accumulated around the heel and ankle portion. I was gifted a very nifty stainless steel foot file by my friend, Jenny! She has them specially made, I love that the foot file is designed ergonomically so that it’s really comfortable to hold. One side with the protruding circles is designed to be rougher so that it removes stubborn dirt and dead skin while the other side with the lines is lighter on the skin. What I do is I soften my feet skin with warm water and soap before I use the foot file! You can also do this during or after your shower. Since it’s stainless steel, no worries about it getting rusty. 😉 If you’d like a foot file for yourself or to purchase in bulk, contact Jenny @ 9806 7232. After cleaning my feet,I enjoy lavishing my skin with lotion, either in The Face Shop’s White Secret Whitening Body Essence or Chanel’s Chance. It always feels nice to pamper my body. Share with me your favourite body lotion!

Enabalista 4th Anniversary x L’Oreal Paris Giveaway

October 31, 2014 Ena Teo 3 Comments

*Update*

Congrats to @jensdazzvoq & @minkclara on IG and Huiibin Dumbyou on FB for winning the Keratin Smooth Range & Ombre Set respectively!

Hi Loves!

To celebrate the 4th anniversary of my lifestyle blog Enabalista and to thank my readers and partners for your support thus far, I’m hosting a series of giveaways and this is the 2nd of 4 giveaways! 😉

If you’ve been following my blog, you’d know I’m a major fan of L’Oreal Paris, having reviewed their EverStrong Hair Scalp System and their Fall Repair 3x Anti Hair Fall Treatment. So it gives me great pleasure to be able to host a giveaway with L’Oreal Paris! 😀

Do you feel that some hair smoothening products are too “heavy” for your hair and weighs it down? Do you wish for a product that will smoothen your hair but still attain soft, bouncy hair with zero weigh down? Now you can, with L’Oreal Paris’ Keratin Smooth range.

The new Keratin Smooth range uses revolutionary Micro-Keratin [MK] technology that smoothen hair, fiber by fiber. This complete hair care system targets dry, rough and unmanageable hair for strand by strand perfection that last for up to 72 hours. That said, please do not go without a shower for 3 day straight in sunny Singapore. 😛

What’s this revolutionary Micro-Keratin all about?

Micro-Keratin [MK] raises the bar with its unique micro form. Unlike usual Keratin particles that might be unable to precisely fill in the gaps in the hair fiber; the minuscular size of Micro-Keratin [MK] enables it to adhere effectively to the surface of the hair fiber to correct its irregularities without any excess, keeping each strand fluid and soft. See:

As an added benefit, the Keratin Smooth range contains Camelia Extract, a natural plant extract loaded with hydrating and softening properties so hair will remain soft and hydrated with each wash.

Complete your Keratin treatment with star product, Smooth Keratin Frizz Eraser. The first leave-in spray that injects Micro-Keratin [MK] into hair strands for fiber by fiber frizz control. Unlike most leave-in treatments, the Smooth Keratin Frizz Eraser eliminate weigh-down with it light weight formula for frizz control that last for up to 72 hours.

Enriched with Thermo-Protect Active, the Smooth Keratin Frizz Eraser effectively protects your hair from heat caused by blow drying, straightening and other hair treatments that can be damaging for the hair. Suitable for application on freshly washed hair or any time of the day when your hair needs a boost.

You guys are so lucky, I haven’t had the chance to try this product yet and it sounds absolutely amazing for frizzy hair in our humid Singapore weather! 🙂

Keratin Smooth Shampoo (330ml): $9.90
Keratin Smooth Conditioner (330ml): $11.90
Keratin Smooth Perfecting Mask: $14.90
Keratin Smooth Frizz Eraser: $16.90

The L’Oreal Paris Keratin Smooth range is available from at Watsons, Guardian, Sasa, major supermarkets and hypermarkets and selected departmental stores.

Yes, yours truly was rocking Ombre red hair back in 2012, obviously I am cool way ahead of time. 😉

Do you wish to have Ombre hair but you’re too busy to book an appointment at the salon for a colour treatment?

My Radiant Skin with Atlas Medical Laser & Aesthetics Clinic Vit C Treatment

October 26, 2014 Ena Teo Leave a comment

Hi Lovelies!

It’s my third time back at Atlas Medical Laser & Aesthetics Clinic for their facial and this time round, it was just the Vit C treatment without the Silk Peel treatment! If you haven’t, check out the first session review and the second session review.

Previous times, the Silk Peel treatment would remove the dead skin, but when I experienced the Vit C treatment alone this time, it also includes the first step where the dead skin is gently removed.

If I haven’t already mentioned in the previous posts, I am saying it now, that I’m a big fan of the Vit C treatment because of the visible hydration on my face that gives me a beautiful glow, which isn’t something that I am just shamelessly saying, but also well commented by my friends when I meet them after the facial sessions. Hehehe! >u< Check out my bareface photo taken just before the Vit C session and after, with just sun block and home room lightning, no filter! Yes I usually do use filters for my Instagram photos, but not for these two after photos to show you how glow-y and radiant my face looks even hours after the facial for the day! I definitely recommend this facial to be booked for the day or the day before a special event and you want a ***glow***! ^^V

Princess Treatment at Etude House’s World’s Largest Flagship Store @ Wisma Atria

October 20, 2014 Ena Teo 1 Comment

Hi Loves!

Just last Thursday I was at Etude House’s World’s Largest Flagship Store VIP Opening @ Wisma Atria. Man, I don’t even know where to start! The experience was incredible to say the least. The folks at Etude House sure do know how to throw a big princess party! 😀 I don’t think anything I say is gonna do justice to it, so that’s why you’re gonna be treated to a feast of pretty pictures. 🙂 As Etude House’s world’s largest store, they have a dedicated booth/wall/stand for every part of your face and body. No kidding. You’ll see! And of course, one can’t escape from commenting how PRINCESSY the entire decor is. Decked in pretty pink and regal white, this store is every little / inner-little-girl’s dream. 😉 Plus, this store is SO FUN. To amp up the princess themed decor, there is a Pumpkin Carriage that you can enter with your GF/BFF to take photos with. Sorry, the cute male models were specially flown in only for the opening day. 😛 Also, there are capsule machines that will churn out 1 charm that you can add to your unique Etude House bracelet. For the month of October, you get to collect 1 pink token for every $20 spent, up till 5 tokens/$100 per receipt. Thereafter, you’ll have to spend $30 to redeem 1 pink token. And there are also special discounts and gift sets (while stocks lasts) for sale to celebrate their opening, so be sure to head down before the month is up! 🙂

Wisma Atria B1-20. Opening Hours 10am to 10pm.

“All of You are Born as a Princess.”

New Hand Cream Range in Castle shaped containers. Love both the Fruity Floral and Rose Floral scents!

Just 1/3 of the 50 available Play101 Pencils pictured in store. It’s the only shop in Singapore where you can find the entire range of Play101 Pencils. These pencils are very special because you can use them as lipsticks/pencils, eyeshadows and blushers! Super crazy, I know!

Korean celebrity make up artist & youtuber Pony who collaborated with Etude House for the Play101 pencil collection. Super pretty!

The amazing looks that you can create with the 101 pencils. <3 I love the ones with the softer, romantic looks, as well as the ones with the dark lips!

Some more of the swatches of the Play101 pencils and how well they hold up after a while and from smudging. Pretty well I must say! The dark red tend to smudge a little more because it’s more moist which is probably best suited for lips sticks. However the coral orange/orange and pink in shimmer holds up remarkably well!

Special media tokens and bracelet so we can collect the charms. <3

Pink Play Capsule Machine! Omg love it!!!

I was incredibly lucky to get the Eiffel Tower! Yay!!! 😀

Etude House’s Limited Edition Pumpkin Carriage Cushion Case Exclusive Only @ Wisma! <3

This is the Blooming Lips Range Coral Red lip colour that Pony recommended during the demo, OR209. Thanks Roanna for holding up the lipstick! <3

As posted on my IG, I scored a selfie with Pony after the cosy blogger interview session we had. You must be curious about the Q&A, here it is!

Interview with Celebrity Top Korean Make Up Artist Pony

Q1. What do you think is the 1 thing you have done right to become so popular?
PONY (P): In addition to trendy makeup in Korea, I also try other looks from the Western make up scene, such as my recent Scarlett Johansson cover makeup. I think that is why I am popular globally.

Pony’s Scarlet Johansson Makeup Cover.

Q2. What’s your current favourite beauty trend?
P: Dewy moist makeup as it’s very dry in korea now.

Q3. What is your top favourite skincare product from Etude House and top favourite make up product from Etude House?
P: Skincare: Moistful collagen gel and mist
Makeup: Play101 as it comes in a variety of 50 colours to play with.

Q4. What is your secret to good skin?
P: 1. Don’t stress.
2. Before I do a scrub, I use a mask pack for hydration. And I also don’t do too much scrub.
3. I use fine foam when cleansing, so the bubble is soft on the skin and not pulling down the skin.

Q5. What is a big make up mistake?
P: Make up that is not balanced. I feel that the face is in a 100% ratio spread across the Eyes, Nose & cheek & Lips.
So for example, when the eyes has 50% of the attention, then spread the attention evenly 25% and 25% on the Nose/Cheeks and Lips. Don’t over do and have strong makeup all over your face, it will be too overpowering.

Q6. How do you recommend a fuss free make up routine for busy Singaporeans?
P: I think the Precious Minerial Any Cushion is great, as the foundation comes out evenly and applies really fast without having not too much on the face. This product cuts the steps of a normal foundation of application from squeezing and transferring to hand then face, so it is convenient. Then apply dark eyeliner and go for a bright lip colour.

Q7: If you could only choose 1 Etude House product to use forever, what would it be?

Etude House’s Cookie blusher. I recommend the warmer colours as it suits natural skin better.

Q8: Can we expect a video on your Singapore trip to be uploaded to your Youtube channel?
P: Yes I will have a cute -style video of my trip in Singapore to be on my channel! 🙂

Q9: Will there be any future project with Etude House?
P: I am a big fan of étude house. I hope that there will be more unique products such as the Play101 pencils to come unless Etude House doesn’t want to collaborate with me. *Sad Pouts*

Q10: How do you make makeup last longer in humid weather such as in Singapore?
P: Don’t apply too much make up, the eechnique is to make skin lighter by applying thin layer. Also I recommend using a sebum control powder to help control the oil and also using the Wonder Pore Freshener before make up.

Watch Pony’s Beauty Diary Youtube Videos via InsiteTV here. 🙂

Media gifts, door gifts, gifts with purchase! I got the Precious Mineral Magic Any Cushion in Peach for normal-dark skin & Magic Cushion in Honey Beige for foundation, so I can also have dewy korean skin! Yeah!

The entire Limited Edition Disney Collection & Vanity Case! <3 <3 <3

I’m thinking of doing a video review and tutorial, what do you all think? In anycase, I’ll be doing a separate post of the Disney collection cause this post is already super long as it is. And there’s a lot of products for review in one collection too! 🙂

Are you an Etude House fan like me? What’s your favourite product and why?

Thanks Etude House Singapore & WOM PR for the invite and making the interview possible!

Review: Make Up with Mirenesse

October 16, 2014 Ena Teo Leave a comment

Hi loves !

Today I had fun with Mirenesse make up products and beauty tool and I’ll be reviewing them here. 😉

Mirenesse Studio Magic Blur Powder, Mirenesse Instant Lash Transplant & Mirenesse iCurl, Heated Eye Lash Curler.

Mirenesse Studio Magic Blur Powder comes with a small sponge for application. It’s meant to be applied after your usual foundation for longer lasting wear and for a more flawless effect as the powder is very fine and reflective. It’s my first time using a finishing powder in my make up routine because I usually apply liquid foundation, two way cake foundation at the T-zone and find it a little too much to include a finishing powder. I would recommend this finishing powder for those with fairer skin and also use it with a brush for a better effect. 🙂

Mirenesse iCurl is an effective eyelash curler. Personally i think this is more effective than the Panasonic eyelash curler as it is easier to use. It’s meow similar to using a normal eye lash curler. A tip if you’re scared to put a heated tool to your eyes is to feel the heat with your fingers first. You have to use it with 2 AAA (smallest) batteries , turn it on, wait 15seconds before the red heated pad turns white to indicate it’s ready for use. I curl my eyelashes before I apply on the mascara below. I would recommend this product for purchase! 🙂

Mirenesse Instant Lash Transplant is a very interesting product and I would say I am impressed that it has achieved what it promises on my thin and sparse eyelashes. Basically this is a volumizing mascara with two parts. First you apply on black transplanting gel then you apply on the magnetic lash fibers. I would personally prefer if this came in two separate sticks instead of connected to one, but this way it also saves space when traveling. 🙂

My make up of the day using Mirenesse products featured in this review. ^^

Back Facial with Atlas Medical Laser & Aesthetic Clinic

October 8, 2014 Ena Teo Leave a comment

– Sponsored Post –

Hi lovelies!

Recently I went back to Atlas Medical Laser & Aesthetic Clinic for a back-facial. Yeap, you didn’t read wrongly, back-facial is exactly as what it’s named, facial for the back! I am unfortunately plagued with back acne due to genetics (my mum and sister has it too) but thanks to Atlas Medical Laser & Aesthetic Clinic, I can have clearer and healthier back skin! 🙂

Dr SM Yuen suggested the same treatment as I did for my face, namely the Silk Peel Treatment and the Vit C treatment. Read all about treatments in detail as I blogged about in my previous post here. If you haven’t, also check out my first experience and product review here.

I found the back facial to be really enjoyable. It was less than an hour and my back felt very thoroughly cleansed from the Silk Peel treatment and super hydrated from the Vit-C treatment. It was definitely a treat (pun-intended) for my back! 🙂

Not very comfortable to show you my “sexy back” since it’s un-sexy with the acne scars, hahaha, so here’s 2 selfies I took post-treatment! 😛

Thanks to Atlas Medical Laser & Aesthetic Clinic, I am enjoying clearer and healthier skin on my face and back! 🙂

John Frieda Blowout @ Next Salon

October 2, 2014 Ena Teo Leave a comment

Hi Lovelies!

A while back, I was invited down for John Frieda’s Ultimate Blowout at Next Salon in early August.

I’ll let the pics do the talkin’! 😉

Arrived at Next Salon at Ion on a beautiful Sunday afternoon, welcomed with a glass of green tea~

Check out all the relevant hashtags and accounts related to the event on Instagram: #JohnFriedaSG #JFSHairTransformation #JohnFriedaHair @JohnFriedaSG @NextTheSalon

Checking out the John Frieda Frizz Ease Original 6 Effects Serum touted to have 1 sold every 30 seconds. Wow.

A close up of my flat / rebonded hair before the wash & blowout! 🙂

Couldn’t take pics whilst my hair was washed and treated to John Frieda Frizz Ease Flawlessly Straight range. Nonetheless it was undoubtedly a great experience! It was relaxing, aromatic and gentle. You don’t have to worry about this range being too harsh on the hair because the shampoo, conditioner and masque was definitely gentle! I can’t say how much it helps to straighten hair since mine’s already rebonded, but I definitely can tell it helps my hair to be frizz free. Plus the Frizz Ease range promises straight styling results for up to 24 hours. 😉

Thanks to Jerlene of MusicalHouses for taking shots of me whilst the hair stylist was doing my hair! :*

We took a group pic with Andrea, yes whilst Leanne and my hair were done mid way, before Jerlene left!

A #wefie with Leng (hope I got her name right!) with the beautiful curls thanks to her awesome skills!

The set of John Frieda Frizz Ease Flawlessly Straight products I brought home, from L-R:
1. Frieda Frizz Ease Flawlessly Straight Shampoo, $15.90
2.Frieda Frizz Ease Flawlessly Straight Intensive Masque, $16.90
3.Frieda Frizz Ease Flawlessly Straight Original 6 Effects Serum, $16.90
4.Frieda Frizz Ease Flawlessly Straight Conditioner, $15.90
Products are available selected Watsons, Guardian & Cold Storage outlets.

To be honest, I’m not a curls kinda girl (hence the frizz ease flawlessly straight range preference, hahaha), but it’s nice to have curls for a special event. 🙂

Here with Leanne and Andrea!

Leanne seems awfully excited, doesn’t she? ^^

And a group pic with the really handsome & charming Dexter Ng of Next Salon. IMO he looks so much like Bryan the Mediacorp host and actor!

For your reference this is how Bryan looks like, the one seated down (photo taken from Next Salon FB page):
Thanks John Frieda SG for inviting me down and goodies and thanks Next Salon for the awesome blowout!

Congrats to John Frieda SG for these Cosmopolitan Approved / Awarded Products!

Detox & Hydrate with Eumora The Moor Bar with Hma Factor

Hi Lovelies! <3

How have you all been? I hope your weekend was fine, as was mine~ 😀

Today I’m sharing about a new skincare product that I’ve been using and enjoying; a facial bar to be exact!

Pre & First Impressions

When I was first invited via email to review this skincare product, I was not expecting to come to enjoy using the facial bar as I am now. As most of my skincare products, especially cleansers, come in a tube or modern plastic dispenser of some sort! Facial bar, ala LUX-style bars are meant for body soaps, not for facial cleansing, right? Well, I thought wrong. And I’m also glad to be able to report and share with you all why I enjoy using this soap bar! Read on for my review, then I will share with you just exactly what’s in this unique facial bar (marketing info. and ingredients benefits etc) that makes it effective and enjoyable to me. 😉

My Eumora bars came in an elegant Europe-style box with baroque print details, lovely isn’t it?
The Eumora bar set do not come with the plastic holder, but it will be necessary! 🙂

Close up of the box; Eumora The Moor Bar with Hma Factor.

4 small Eumora facial bars nicely packed within! Love it, reminds me of chocolates/snacks. 😛This is how the facial bar looks like, a milk chocolate colour bar. Incase you’re wondering and hungry, it’s not edible, lol. 😛

My Review of Eumora The Moor Bar with Hma Factor

After using the Eumora The Moor Bar with Hma Factor for two weeks, in the day and evening, the very first thing I noticed is how my face has a visible shine right after using it. Its hydrating factor is definitely something worth raving about. Imma gonna insert a photo of yours truly, bare face, right after using it:

Bare face, cleansed and no that is not my facial oil shine on my nose and forehead… it’s a legit and visible shine every time after I use the bar! No photoshop or filter for this pic either! When I started using the facial bar, I was very impressed with the shine on my face after cleansing, I would look at my face in the mirror and go “wow”, this stuff is really hydrating!

So in addition to the cleansing and hydration effect of this facial bar, what I like is that it gently cleanses without any taut feeling after, so I know that it doesn’t strip my face off the necessary oil. In case you don’t know, if we strip our face of the good oils, it will cause our skin to churn out more oil. So to gently cleanse your face without stripping it completely off oil is better for your skin in the long run! The facial bar is fragrance free. To use, you will have to wash your hands, lather the soap bar in your hands and then spread and leave the lather on your face for 3 minutes before washing it off with water after.

A note of caution, you might experience a healing crisis, as in a breakout after using this product as it helps you to expel the toxins in the body. So don’t worry and it is normal.

Here’s a clear Directions for use diagram:

I will recommend people with normal to oily and acne prone skin to use this. People with dry skin should also use this. 🙂

So just what goes into this facial bar that makes it hydrating and unique as I mentioned?

1. Moor

Natural Nutrient Rich Organic Mud from Europe

Moor has been used for well being for at least 2,000 years.
The Romans prized it for its health and strength promoting qualities,
even Cleopatra was reputed to have indulged in Moor as part of her beauty regimen.

Benefits

Reacts Fast

Antiseptic

Detoxifying

Anti Inflammatory (Great for acne skin)

Wow! Sounds impressive isn’t it?

In case you think Cleopatra is merely a Shakespearean character ala in Anthony & Cleopatra, she really did exist.

A cinematic portrayal of Anthony & Cleopatra.

Cleopatra VII Philopator (Greek: Κλεοπάτρα Φιλοπάτωρ; Late 69 BC^[1] – August 12, 30 BC), known to history as Cleopatra, was the last active pharaoh of Ancient Egypt, only shortly survived by her son, Caesarion as pharaoh. The name Cleopatra is derived from the Greek name Κλεοπατρα (Kleopatra) which meant “glory of the father” in the feminine form, derived from κλεος (kleos) “glory” combined with πατρος (patros) “of the father” (the masculine form would be Kleopatros Κλεοπατρος).^[2]^[3]. – Wikipedia.

Wait a minute, let me fact check if Cleopatra really did use Moor mud, I mean, she lived so many years ago… Is it just a marketing gimmick to name drop a classic Egyptian beauty to sell a modern day product? 😛

Source 1:

According to this Spa shop, Queen Cleopatra took regular Mud and Milk Baths as her beauty ritual!

Source 2: Ehow.com

Therapeutic mud often comes from areas around mineral springs, and the high mineral content of the mud is regarded as one the main reasons for its beneficial effects.Cleopatra is said to have prized it so highly as a beauty treatment that she persuaded Mark Anthony to conquer the region and present it to her as a gift. Like seriously? Wow! The power of Cleopatra…

Source 3: WiseGeek.com

Moor mud is an organic peat substance formed by the decomposition of a variety of plants over a very long period of time. Extracted from the moorlands of Central Europe, it is a black paste that dissolves easily in water and has a high concentration of amino acids, minerals, plant hormones and vitamins. This mud has been valued for its beautifying and therapeutic properties from ancient times to the present day. It was used by the Romans and the Egyptians; Queen Cleopatra apparently took regular mud dips when she wasn’t bathing in milk. In modern times, people can avail themselves of this mud in spas and health centers, or purchase it for home use from health stores and online health therapy sites.

The unique healing properties of this mud have been used to treat a variety of human and animal ailments. The mud has been found to relieve suffering associated with arthritis and rheumatism, soothe muscle aches and reduce joint swellings, and stimulate the immune system. Being an antibiotic and astringent, the mud has a cleansing effect on skin and is used in skin care as a facial or an entire body pack. Moor mud treatment improves circulation, staves off wrinkles and gives the skin a healthy glow. It is often used to treat skin problems like acne, eczema andpsoriasiso.

Ok, so this Moor Mud thing is legit good for the skin and has healing properties, whether or not Cleopatra was so famously known to have used it in her beauty rituals.

2. MicroAlgae aka Chlorella Sorokiniana

(Sounds like a mix of Japanese and Brazil, lol)

Rich in Vitamin B1, B2, B12 and niacin which can increase the skin’s energy and protect the skin to stay away from all kinds of pressure (I think it means the radicals/pollutants in the air).

Benefits includes:
Deep moisturizing action (So this is what deeply hydrates and give me the shine after using it!)
Strengthens defense qualities of the skin barrier.
Gives extraordinary softness and brightness.

Also reviewed by New Straits Times Paper journalist!

Elizabeth Arden’s Magical 8 Hour Cream

September 15, 2014 Ena Teo 4 Comments

I didn’t say it.

American actress Amanda Peet‘s the one who said “Elizabeth Arden’s Eight Hour Cream is like a magical ointment; it’s for cuticles, it’s for everything.”

And I couldn’t agree more.

You might remember seeing my previous post on Elizabeth Arden’s Blogger Launch for their latest fragrance and 5 min home facial. It was also when the VP Ficarelli insisted that we also be sent a tube of Elizabeth Arden Best Seller 8 Hour Cream so that we can experience and attest to the magic of this 8 Hour Cream so beloved by celebrities and everyday women alike.

I know, you’re probably thinking that Ena (yes, I do call myself by third person sometimes, lol) is totes over-selling this EA 8 Hour cream right here. But you know how each beauty brand has their something-something claim to fame and/or their skincare classic that’s a HG of cult status? Lest it be known that you’re an ignorant woman of skincare (like I was before I was educated by Mr Ficarelli, lol) the 8 Hour Cream is synonymous with the woman and brand Elizabeth Arden:

Eight Hour® Cream was created more than seventy years ago, in 1930, by Miss Arden herself and was the first ever cosmetic product to bear the Elizabeth Arden name.

The cream was so effective in its debut, that Miss Arden used it to sooth her thoroughbred horses’ bruises. The product name, ‘Eight Hour® Cream‘, takes its inspiration from a loyal customer who claimed that the cream helped to heal her son’s scraped knee in just eight hours.

Since its debut, Eight Hour® Cream has escalated to near cult status. Testimonials from customers attest to the product’s miraculous healing capabilities. Its wonderful versatility also makes this product a favorite of models and make-up artists alike. – Source Credit here.

I just love reading beauty brand history! It’s always inspiring reading about enterprising women creating their own beauty brands such as Estee Lauder, EM by Michelle Phan, Tory Burr.

What the brand history excerpt didn’t include but the information I have from the kind folks from EA Singapore is that
the Eight Hour Cream that was created in 1930 to soothe skin became an instant and overwhelming success. What made/and still makes it so effective is an combination petrolatum*, a skin-soothing beta-hydroxy** in one of its first cosmetics uses, and vitamin E.

*Petrolatum Wikipedia
**the term beta hydroxy acid refers specifically to salicylic acid, which is used in some “anti-aging” creams and acne treatments. Credits Wikipedia.

So as promised, the EA 8 Hour cream did reach my home, with a handwritten note no less:

More specifically, the product is called Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant.

This skincare classic smoothes and softens skin. Protects against and helps alleviate symptoms of chapping, peeling and windburn due to dryness from exposure to the elements.

The benefits of using this includes:
– Helps protect, soothe and moisturize skin.
– Soothes and comforts minor weather burns, scrapes and abrasions.

What they didn’t say is that it’s basically an all in 1 cream for most (I can’t claim all because I can’t prove it, lol) skin issues. I can attest that I had an issue of my lower left eye area hurting due to excessive rubbing (I promise I don’t usually do it, it was that once!) and I had no clue what to apply that would help speed up the recovery. So I used the 8 Hour Cream Skin Protectant, and it worked. The formulation of this cream is more like a honey coloured, scented & consistency ointment. I personally don’t really rely on creams/ointments for my skin, rather I prefer lightweight cream lotions on my limbs which I also only put in the night. So I didn’t find that many uses (yet) for this 8 Hour Cream.

What my sister did find, is that this 8 Hour Cream Skin Protectant helps her with reducing the itch she gets from spots /areas due to eczema:

She was 100% skeptical, until she used it, lol.

While my sister and I are new converts to this cream, my friends Clarabel & Smita are long lovers:

In the event that you do decided to invest in a tube of this miracle 8 Hour Cream, know that in addition to the suggestions above, women around the world have also used it to
Refresh the skin from jet lag. Shape brows. Revitalize shine. Soothe hands. Nails. Knees. Ankles. Toes. This remarkable cream promotes healing for dry skin and seals in moisture. Use it whenever you need, as often as you like.

The Eight Hour Cream range also offers Sunscreen, Lip Balm, Hand Treatment, Daily Moisturizer. Prices range from SGD$33-51, available in stores here. For more info. visit their site here.

Now I’ve got to ask my sister for the 8 Hour cream, I’ve been told by my last manicurist that my finger cuticles are a little dry and I should apply an ointment to keep it moist. 😉

Thanks Elizabeth Arden Singapore for the magical 8 hour cream!

Do you use the 8 Hour Cream? Let me know your experience in the comments below!

L’Oreal Paris comes to the rescue with Fall Repair 3X Anti Hair Fall Treatment

September 5, 2014 Ena Teo 1 Comment

It’s no secret that I’m a huge fan of L’Oreal Paris hair solution. Previously I was invited to their EverStrong Thickening Sulfate Free Hair & Scalp system bloggers event and brought home a set and fell in love with it after using and recommended the set to a lot of my family and friends.

This time round, I was sponsored a set of Fall Repair 3x Anti Hair Fall Treatment, including the shampoo and conditioner for review. I didn’t hesitate to accept the invitation because from my experience, L’Oreal Paris Hair products deliver what they promise and because I’ve used the smaller travel bottle of Fall Repair Anti Hair Fall Shampoo and I was curious to know what the additional of the Treatment set would be!

So, what does L’Oreal Paris Fall Repair 3x Anti Hair Fall Treatment boasts?

L’Oreal Paris research claims that everyday we lose 100 strands of hair (that totally puts my hair fall into perspective, now I don’t feel so worried anymore, phew!) and that amounts to 3000 strands of hair loss a month! What L’Oreal Fall Repair 3x Anti Hair Fall treatment can do is to save 1600 strands of hair a month, which is more than 50% of hair saved from potential loss! That’s a rather bold claim, I’d say.

Perhaps to a 20-30 year old this doesn’t amount to much, especially if you think your hair problem is having too much of it. But if your problem is thinning hair due to genetics or aging, then every hair saved, counts! Plus imagine all the hair strands saved over long term usage, it’s like savings in the bank, it only gets better, right?

So, despite how amazing the claim is, just exactly how does this Fall Repair 3x Anti Hair Fall Repair works?

The formula is explained in 3 easy steps:
1. Nourish Hair Roots with Arginine, an essential active ingredient that promotes hair growth

2. Prevent Hair Loss with Aminexil, an ingredient that strengthens hair anchorage at roots thereby reducing hair loss

3. Strengthen hair fibre with protein, for stronger and more resistant hair.

I don’t want to disappoint, but it’s no magic, really. 😛

So, how to use this treatment product, since we only usually just wash and condition our hair in the shower and use hair oil or styling products after?

Again in 3 easy steps:
1. After washing and conditioning hair with the Fall Repair 3x Anti Hair Fall range, whether dry or damp, apply the complete dose on scalp partitioned like by line just as pictured.

2. Massage on the scalp with finger tips, concentrate on areas with higher hair fall.

3. Leave in without rinsing.

It is as simple as that. 🙂

So, after 2-3 weeks of using this Fall Repair 3x Anti Hair Fall System and treatment, what I find is that this system is remarkably gentle on the scalp even as it cleanses the hair and scalp. I reckon that it is because the system is meant to help strengthen hair roots and reduce hair fall so there is no unnecessary ingredients or scents that might irritate the hair scalp to cause hair fall.

The new treatment is like a light liquid serum. There’s no tingling sensation or scent, it also not greasy and basically very easy and convenient to apply after shower.

Another plus of this Anti Hair Fall Range is that my hair feels soft, smooth & manageable after use. It definitely helps me to manage my usually frizzy hair!

I would definitely recommend this system to anyone facing hair fall and want to reduce the hair fall while strengthening your existing hair!

Thank you L’Oreal Paris for the products!
