Hi Loves!

Attended Digital Fashion Week to catch Ying The Label show with my gal pal Christabelle the other day and here’s what I wore. 🙂
Super loving this grey dress from Korean webstore Uptownholic with the ribbon details.

Caught up with the sweet Kerina from Deja fashion app – have you downloaded it yet? Follow me, @ena_teo if you have an account! 😉With Belle & her pretty mama. Using and loving my Casio TR60!!! Am loving it while I have it on loan for a blog review. Seriously, what will my life be without it? >.< #exaggerationobviously

Changed into another outfit, a wine red knit dress also from Uptownholic!
How do you like it?
And my favourite piece from my Uptownholic fashion haul has got to be this chic boots – got way too many compliments and questions where to get it! I love how it looks and feels – comfy!

I recommend you to check out Uptownholic site for super chic and trendy Korean fashion, Korean shoes are especially pretty, comfy and not too expensive! <3

Thank you EJ and Uptownholic for sending these lovely pieces!

Nostalgia

November 13, 2015 Ena Teo Leave a comment

Nostalgia

We can’t rewind time
But we can look back at the past memories, fondly
We can’t go back to the past
But we can appreciate what we have now in the present
We can’t teleport into the future
But we can imagine what it will be like and be hopeful

Certain things, events, memories & conversations with and about different people are making me feel nostalgic. I’m missing people whom I’ve spent a large part of my life with. I will miss the friendship that I’m choosing to let go at the current moment even if it’s painful. I’m currently feeling neither here, nor there. The feeling of being in transit. Thinking of the past and uncertain about the future, believing that the present experiences are lessons that I have to learn.

Retro Days with MAC Wash & Dry Collection & Huggable Lips Collection

November 12, 2015 Ena Teo Leave a comment

Hi Loves!

I may profess to be beauty junkie, but my level is no where near MAC’s. What do I mean? I mean they launch some 3-4 collections a month, (yes that’s about 1 a week, or sometimes simultaneously they launch 4 collections in a month). So by the time you’re reading this, the collections here are most probably sold out, since my blog posts are mostly belated reviews, heh. Nonetheless, some of the key basics like the foundations would still be there, and if you’re in love in sometime LE featured here, you can try it to find it on Amazon or Carousell! If all else fails… Visit the shop to ask for similar colours, or buy something new from their current collections. 😉

Anyhoo, read on to check out what went down in store on the day Smita and I went to check out Beno (MAC’s makeup artist) working magic on the model with Wash & Dry collection and of course also checking out the then new Huggable Lips collection. 😀

Beno highly recommends this as a skin prep all over the face before foundation. He says this is particularly good for models when they come in with dull skin, it helps to perk, brighten and hydrate their skin.

Beno also swears by Lightful C softening lotion(toner), a rather new product launched this year, Beno says that this product with Vit C helps to brighten the skin.

Beno applied Pro Longwear Nourishing Waterproof foundation on the model with a brush.
Already with a bright pop or green eyeliner on, Beno applies a more subdued lip colour on the model.

From the Huggable Lips collection.

Enhancing the eyeliner. Now checking out the Wet & Dry collection. I love the psychedelic coloured packaging! Super gorgeous and trendy orange and golds.Smita lovesss the highlighter Beno applied on her.

And the super gorgeous Wash & Dry collection. Really love the 2 face foundation brush.

Now on to the Huggable Lips collection! These lipsticks are amazing. They give your lips a very bouncy feel and wet look. I have no idea how that is huggable. And I super love the sleek lip bullet, a change compared to the usual MAC lip bullets. Much prefer this actually! With the super cute bear mascot!

And the MAC makeup expert Beno, follow him on IG @benolim!

I love the nude colour Soft Talkin’ and #MLBB (my lips but better) colour in All In.
Thank you Smita for the invite and MAC Cosmetics Singapore for having us! Also be sure to check out Smita’s beauty blog here, you’ll learn tons of expert tips from her too!

*Bonus Round* lol

Otw to meet Smita, feeling camera trigger happy. Also love the ombre lips I did for the day! 😛With Smitaaa <3

My omelette at Paul’s.

Smita’s Beef Tar Tar.

So I left/dropped my wallet at Paul’s Takashimaya and the staff kept it for me. THANK GOD. Awesome food and staff here, definitely will go back again. <3

So we walked around Sephora and chanced upon the launch of Makeupstore’s Artist Plexi Gloss/lipgloss and I won the sample set and a pouch and a lip over. #Blessed. It’s true I am very blessed at winning lucky dips.

Here we are with our lip overs. I chose a bright red and I do love the lip gloss that gave very good hydrating and pigmented coverage without the typical sticky feeling.

Hope you enjoyed this post! Follow me on IG @ena_teo for my updates! 😉

Chat away with super cute LINE SG50 stickers!

November 12, 2015 Ena Teo Leave a comment

Hi Loves!

Another #throwback post today! So I was invited for LINE’s SG50 sticker set launch party a few months back and it was really cute fun hanging with LINE mascots Brown (brown bear) & Cony (white rabbit) and with my lovely blogger friend Sydney!

In case you have no idea what LINE is, it’s a messaging app from Korea and they legit have the cutest stickers. Of course they have a close competitor Kakao Talk and in the past I actually had both but now I only have LINE and not because I’m chatting up any cute Oppas or Dongsengs or Ullsangs but because I love playing LINE apps. #TrueStory Although now the only game I’m still playing is Tsum Tsum and even that I have stopped for a few months and only logged in a few days ago and SUPER SAD that they reformatted (probably because of my Iphone OS upgrade?!) and I LOST all my previously acquired Tsum Tsums and levels. T_T

Anyways… What I am trying to say is… If you have not downloaded LINE and LINE’s Tsum Tsum you should try it out… but if you’re hooked/addicted, pls do not blame it on me. 😛

Coming back to the post at hand, the launch event was held sometime in May at Fullerton Bay Hotel, I LOVE. SO PRETTY. #PossibleWeddingSpot #StillSingleWhoAmIKidding #WhereIsTheLoveOfMyLife And well, you’ll see the super local and kind of cute sticker set below, which I think is limited edition and I don’t see them available on the LINE app anyway, SORRY GUYS. But there are tons of NEW, cute and free stickers to download now! 🙂
This Sally the LINE Duck balloon is INCREDIBLE. It’s still very much “alive” and full in my bedroom as I am typing this despite the months. I love it too much to throw it away. I have a soft spot for ducks, seriously.With sweetie pie Sydney.

Sorry guys it’s only available until Sep 2015. I am a terrible, procrastinating blogger. THAT IS WHY you should follow me on IG @ena_teo where I am much more updated. Not instant (not always) but much more updated. Yes. And all the cute-sy collectibles!

Thank you WOM PR and LINE SG for having me!

My First F1 Experience

November 12, 2015 Ena Teo Leave a comment

It’s been a while since I’ve done a #throwback post, you could say that it means I have been quite updated with my recent blog posts, but the truth is that while I have been blogging about the recent happenings and reviews, I actually have neglected A LOT of my older blog posts, hahaha. So much so that I’m pretty sure cobwebs would have formed over them, if they were papers lying on my desk, oops. Anyhoos, I am back on a blogging roll and I will be rolling out #throwback posts every thursdays since#ThrowbackThursdays, right? 😛 If I prove to be disciplined and roll out my blog posts as frequently as I plan to be, I hope to be able to clear all of them by the end of this year. 🙂 *fingers crossed* So how long ago are my #Throwback blog posts from? Thankfully only about 1 year plus, is that of any consolation? HAHAHA. Sorry I am amused, even by myself. #EasilyAmused

Anyhoos! Enough of the long intro, and if you’re still around despite it, let’s just drive (pun intended) in to my very 1st F1 experience, shall we?

Thanks to my friend Q for the tickets, my friend Clarabelle and I had the chance to check out F1 last year, 2014.
Before we headed to the arena/grandstand area where our seats were, we had tea, OOTD taking and shopping first. Yes, us girls and our necessary ~~distractions~~ girly time. 😛
More than a year ago, can’t believe how fast time has flown by. Still loving this outfit nonetheless! 🙂
With my babe, Clarabelle. <3 As you can see, we were both overdressed for the occasion as we got the tickets on a very last minute notice. So we did some quick shopping at H&M/Cotton On to change into more comfortable attire for F1.

Then we made our way! It was going to be a very super long walk to our grandstand seats. Zzz.

More walking. A good mix of locals and touristy crowd.

Obligatory shot with the handsome cars? Checked!
Still wish that it was a clear glass instead of these ugly fences.
Better shot! I am still impressed that people actually drive these cars in F1 when they look like the bigger versions of toy cars.

One of the spots where live shows are held during off F1 car racing periods. But we didn’t actually catch any, unfortunately!

FINALLY got to our grandstand seats… after what was about 30 minutes of walking through tunnels and stairs and paths. And we were seated for less than 10 minutes before the races ended of the night… LOL. No kidding.Panoramic view of the race track!
Honestly I could not(still cannot) understand the appeal of being seated at the grandstands when the cars just keep zooming by… They don’t even stay long enough for you to admire the car or the racer. I think these people are invested because they follow the news/racers/cars and enjoy just being in the actual area and experience the thick of the exciting atmosphere and hear the applause and sighs at the end of the night – depending if the racer/car they support won or lost. But if you ask me, I would very much prefer to watch/follow the race from the screen. So going to F1 would probably appeal more to me if it was to catch one of the famous stars/singers performing pre/post F1 show. AND the sad thing was it was raining super duper heavily after the race and we didn’t have any umbrellas so we missed Robbie William’s concert. T_T #Cries
Yet another long walk to the exit.
It was pretty cool to be able to walk on the race track after the race ended.
Being stuck at one of the MRT paths due to the rain.

All in the all, I definitely enjoyed my first F1 race experience, but I was probably not properly prepped and also didn’t maximize my ticket. I definitely advise you to find out the race details – racer/car line up for the day and figure who you’re rooting for and why, be comfortably dress in something light for Singapore’s ridiculously humid weather and last and probably the most important (for me at least, lol) bring a raincoat for when it rains so you can still catch whatever awesome concert is happening after. 😉

Thanks again to Q for the tickets and to Clarabelle for being such fun company! <3

Pink Hair for Hope with Hairdreams Singapore

October 28, 2015 Ena Teo 1 Comment

My Trip to Rexults Clinic (formerly known as EPW Laser & Medical Aesthetics Clinic)

October 27, 2015 Ena Teo 2 Comments

Hi loves!

A few weeks back I paid a visit to Rexults Clinic (formerly known as EPW Laser & Medical Aesthetics Clinic) for a consultation followed by treatment session and I’m very pleased with my experience and happy to be able to share it with you today!

Before I go into details about the treatment process, let me share a little more about Rexults Clinic~

With 22 Years in Medical Aesthetics Practice, Rexults Clinic is located on the 17th floor of Tong Building in Orchard Road and the clinic is a pioneer in Singapore’s medical aesthetics industry which delivers top line medical skincare procedures for problematic skin conditions and non-surgical face enhancement solutions. The clinic was started in 1993 by Medical Director and Founder Dr EP Wong. You may not have seen many advertisements for the clinic because it has always relied on word of mouth, bass on their good track record. It is their reliability, being up-to-date and customer-centric culture that keeps patients visiting the clinic!

Excellent Facilities & Equipment:
Rexults Clinic has excellent facilities – large waiting areas with comfortable designer sofas, a professional photo-taking room, immaculate doctors’ consultation rooms and 4 treatment rooms filled with the latest medical-grade equipment. From these, I can see that the clinic strives to attain the highest professional standards in everything they do. I’ve also learnt that the doctors at Rexults Clinic also keep abreast on the latest developments in the field of medical aesthetics. In order to deliver precise results, due diligence is applied in the selection of equipment and refining the techniques of any new procedures. For this reason, it is not just about the equipment, but the discerning eye, experience and skills of the specialists that matter.

Spacious & comfortable waiting space before treatment.

A peek of the treatment room.

Procedures – No or Minimal Downtime:
After the registration, I was chaperoned into Associate Doctor, Melvin Tan’s consultation room. I shared my objective to get rid of my some pigmentation and minor skin growth on my face. As I was concerned about having any downtime, Dr. Tan assured me that the downtime for the recommended procedures would have no downtime / minimal downtime.

Here’s a picture of me with the anesthetic cream before the laser treatment. It is left on for about 30-60 minutes and removed before the laser treatment.

Here are the procedures and treatments I had experienced at Rexults Clinic:

• Clarity laser procedure – a very effective for pigmentation. The Clarity laser also helps in photo rejuvenation of the skin, so it can minimise your pores, reduce fine lines and help boost collagen synthesis. Just what I need to maintain youthful-looking skin! You don’t have to worry about skin thinning as this laser targets the skin layers beneath, not the surface. Results: Brighter, clearer and more even skin tone.

• Extraction – My nose needed extraction and the best way to is to have the procedure performed by a medical professional in a sterile environment.
Result: Smoother skin texture and helps in preventing future breakouts. I am really very impressed by the Doctor’s professional extraction, the acne spots very quickly died down with little to no scarring within the next few days. There really is a difference between a clinic and facial salon extraction, the difference is in the shorter downtime.

• Radiowave surgery – is a highly effective procedure for the removal of skin surface irregularities such as acne, moles and skin tags. Dr. Tan performed some spot radiowave surgery for some of the minor skin growth on my skin.
Result: Improved skin texture – i.e. smoother skin. After 3 weeks, I am truly very happy to report that this procedure has been a dream come true. The procedure did leave some minor scabs which dropped off naturally and now my skin is smooth. I didn’t even need any extra skincare after, Doctor Tan just told me to use my usual hydrating skincare.

• Mask – A brightening and soothing mask is applied. Excellent in calming my skin.

• LED Blue Light Treatment
Result: The light causes the development of oxygen radicals that get rid of acne bacteria without damaging healthy skin.

• LED Yellow Light Treatment
Result: Improves skin tone and helps to heal the skin.

Here’s a photo of me sans makeup with Dr Tan during the review, 1 week after the treatment.

Patient Care
A key success of Rexults Clinic is that the staff are committed to developing long and trusting relationships with all clients. Rexults Clinic trains their people to deliver superlative service both within the clinic and through a comprehensive after-care program that lets patients know that they are always there for them. I like the fact that the clinic makes it a point to find out how your skin is doing even after the procedures and treatments have been done, like how I went back 1 weeks after the treatment for follow up. I can now understand why patients and their family/friends choose to visit Rexults Clinic. It is their professionalism and genuine after-care service that speaks volumes.

Background on Dr. Melvin Tan, Associate Doctor – Rexults Clinic
From my visit to Rexults Clinic, I learned that Dr. Melvin Tan enjoys individually tailoring combination treatments for his patients, relying on a large toolbox of procedures to ensure his patients achieve the best and most predictable results. He believes that patients should look natural and rested, while still maintaining their individuality. What is also interesting is that since 2012, Dr. Tan has personally trained over 50 doctors in South East Asia on basic and advanced injection techniques using Botox and fillers. If I do plan to have some face enhancement procedures done, I know who I can look for.

Contact
If you’re interested to improve your skin, you can make an appointment to see Dr. Melvin Tan at Rexults Clinic.

Dr. Tan’s consultation fee is SGD$50.

A customised program would be recommended by the doctor for every patient’s individual needs.

Rexults Clinic is located at 302 Orchard Road #17-01 Tong Building (Beside Paragon).
Call +65 235 5533. Email: info@rexultsclinic.com Website: www.rexultsclinic.com

Thank you Rexults Clinic, Dr Tan & Simon for my pleasant experiences at the clinic & for helping me achieve clearer and smoother skin through the laser and combination treatments!

Stylista Korean Beauty & Fashion Workshop

October 25, 2015 Ena Teo Leave a comment

Hi Loves!

2 weeks ago, Stylista squad held our first Korean Beauty & Fashion workshop and here’s what went down!

Thanks to our location sponsor Park Regis Singapore, we held a cosy and intimate workshop session at their Melbourn Room on level 2. I recommend this hotel for business travellers as it’s conveniently located 5 min away from Clark Quay MRT station, plus you can also enjoy the night life nearby after work. It’s also great for a local staycation over the weekends as it’s newly refurbished and fully equipped with swimming pool, gym and dining restaurants.
Before the event took place, we had a quick tour around the hotel and it’s lovely! Once entering the hotel at ground floor, you’ll find seating spaces, restaurant and bar to hang out and chill.
At the check in lobby, you’ll find free flow refreshment drink and a long counter that comes with seats to cater to the business travellers that come in from long haul flights.

There are 202 rooms and they come in 4 types; Park, Merchant, Quay & Regis (Suites). Park and Merchant are the standard rooms, with Park facing the office buildings while Merchant has a view of Clark Quay. Quay rooms are on the second floor with direct exit to the pool. Regis refer to the exclusive suite rooms.

Exit from Quay room, with direct access to the pool.

Regis rooms are suite rooms located from the 2nd to the 7th floor, they are bigger and some come with attached balcony, as in the one above that we viewed.

After the tour, we got back to the function room to prepare for the event. Thanks to Floral Garage Singapore for sponsoring the floral arrangements for the table setting and baby breaths for our attendees’ goodie bag!

Visit Floral Garage SG’s site here for floral bouquets starting from $29.90!

After preparing the goodie bags, attendees started filling up the seats and it was time to begin! The workshop started off with a skincare segment with Atlas Medical Clinic’s new skincare range, here we have our lovely attendees testing out the products during the demonstration led by Vinna.

Next up, we shared about key Korean skincare and makeup looks, trends and tips using our makeup partner, LANEIGE products.

Event attendees testing out LANEIGE products during the makeup demo.

Following which, Alene and I shared about Korean fashion trends, culture and tips and we invited our friend Sydney and founder of fashion label, Style Of Leda to share about the brand and inspiration behind it.

We also had the pleasure to hear from Lorraine, co-founder of Atlas Medical Clinic and Atlas Medispa about Korean facial and skincare technologies.After Lorraine’s sharing, the workshop portion ended and everyone was free to mingle, ask questions and check out the booths by Atlas Medispa & Style of Leda.
A big THANK YOU to everyone who came down to spend a lovely Sunday afternoon with all of us and making our very first Stylista workshop such a sweet memory! We hope that all of you learnt a thing or two about Korean beauty and fashion trends, enjoyed the session and will make full use of the items and vouchers from the goodie bag!

Not forgetting our hair sponsor Chez Vous for the hair services vouchers, Polished Hand + Foot Spa for mani+pedi vouchers as well as Kenny Bite Production for capturing the event happenings!

Last but not the least, the event would not have been possible without my squad and fellow bloggers: Celine, Vinna & Alene.

Alene

With a heart full of love and gratitude, I’d like to also give special thanks to my sisters & friends Jia Hui, Lu Jia, Ying Ling, Christabelle, Clarabelle, Leanne, Smita and Leon. Thank you for your prayers and encouragements. Thank you Jesus that you’ve made it all possible. It hasn’t been an easy journey to organize and prepare for an event like this for the first time but it’s made possible because everything fell into place with thanks to our sponsors and in accordance to God’s perfect timing. The Stylista squad definitely has a lot to improve on and we’ve definitely learnt a lot from this. If there’s only one thing you can take away from my post today, I hope it’s this:

You will never be fully prepared to fulfil your goals. Whether you fail or succeed, the act of taking a risk will stretch you. And it’s in taking that step of faith, out of your comfort zone that you will learn much and be closer to your goals. Don’t stop dreaming and never give up. One day you’ll look back and be thankful that you didn’t give up.

If you haven’t, be sure to follow me on IG @ena_teo for my updates!

Casual Days

October 22, 2015 Ena Teo 1 Comment

Hi Loves!

What’s your idea of a casual weekend? Mine’s definitely hanging with family or friends over food – whether cafe hopping, at the mall’s, my place or theirs. Had the chance to pop by Christabelle‘s place the other weekend and took the chance to also take some outfit shots around her place. And while reviewing these photos, I belatedly realize… that I am back to leaning towards monochrome colours for my wardrobe. Black, white & greys are just so easy to mix and match with… and easy to throw on in the morning too!

If you don’t already know by now, I am in love with sporty chic outfits and dresses. Although I have 2 similar dresses, one sleeveless and another short-sleeved, I just needed to get this when I saw it, hahaha. #Obsessed. I imagine this is the perfect dress to wear to support your favourite boy or sports player for a game. Throw on a black moto jacket or a jazzy bomber jacket and you’re ready to attend a concert or throw a party for your favourite rockstar. This particular dress is sold out, for more Unif dresses, check out Revolve Clothing here. I’m also wearing Free People’s Bella Coachella Strappy Back Bra with this look. Have I mentioned that I love muscle tees? I got this DIOR NOT WAR singlet/tee from Malacca! Sometimes you can get really cute slogan tees from the market stalls. If you’re looking for something similar online, see this. Or if you prefer sleeved tees, which are reallyyy comfy, I totally recommend this cute OBEY Glitch Garden tee. For shorts, nothing else beats American Eagle’s Outfitters’. I got these cut off shorts at their Vivo City outlet, I highly recommend you check them out if you haven’t! And if you’re wondering about the lace up sandals, these are from Zalora, you can get them here. Anddd if you’re planning to shop, save the code “ZBAPQGVB” for 15% discount at check out, valid for 1st purchase and for new customers only.

Thank you Revolve Clothing & American Eagles Outfitters for the apparels. <3 Thank you babe Christabelle for the photos! :*

Disclaimer: Outfits are sponsored or my own. The links in this post aren’t affliate links so I don’t get any credit if you buy, except for the Zalora discount code! Happy Shopping! 😉

Achieve Clearer, Brighter Skin with Atlas Medical Korean Triple Translucent Skin Trio

October 21, 2015 Ena Teo Leave a comment

Hi Loves!

Feels like it’s been a while since I last blogged about a facial review. I experienced the treatments a few months back, now that I finally find the time, I’m very excited to share about my experience with Atlas Medical Clinic/Medispa’s Korean Triple Translucent Skin Trio, aka Korean Skin Trio!

Atlas Medicial Clinic’s Korean Translucent Skin Trio consists of:
1. Revlite Laser Toning by Doctor SM Yuen
2. Aqua Radiance Medical Grade Facial
3. Korean Intense Moisture Mask
and it costs $128(inclusive GST)

You can also enjoy a similar Skin Trio treatment at Atlas Medispa, with the following steps:
1. Silk Peel
2. VPL, Variable Pulse Light Treatment
3. Hydrating Mask

Do note that a pre-assessment is needed prior to the treatment.

So I tried out 2 sessions of Revlite Laser Toning by Doctor SM Yuen and I love it! It was my very first time going through any laser toning or treatment of sorts and I was very happy to be under the good hands of Dr SM Yuen and team! If you’re like me and have never tried Revlite Laser Toning before, let me explain my experience~

After cleansing the face, one of the Atlas Medical Clinic attentive Skincare Therapist will prepare you and have your hair pulled and secured back with a white head band. Then the doctor is called in and he will gently speak to you and prepare you if it’s your first time going through laser. He explains that the laser is similar to a warm light and at the most, it shouldn’t feel more then an ant bite. Plus, there is a light air tube that blows cold air concurrently with the Revlite laser treatment which helps to distract and sooth any discomfort. There might be some slight burnt scent as it’s the laser burning away facial hairs, it’s perfectly normal and not detrimental.

I definitely enjoyed both Revlite Laser Toning sessions and love the clearing and brightening effect it has on my skin after. Check out the photos I took during and after the Revlite Laser Toning sessions!

After my first Revlite Laser Toning session. A few days after the first Revlite Laser Toning session, my skin’s clearer, brighter and make up applies on smoother.

Another photo after my first Revlite Laser Toning session.

Went back for my second Revlite Laser Toning Session, I think I was pretty much experiencing my best(albeit slightly tired) skin in my entire life, with little to no pimples because of the right combination of hydrating skincare, supplements, facials, laser treatments and healthy lifestyle. ^^

A few days after the second Revlite Laser Toning session. Was actually feeling really tired, but thank God for radiant good skin thanks to the Revlite Laser Toning sessions!

Last but not the least, I also had the chance to review Atlas Medispa’s Skin Trio session, which as mentioned above, consists of the Silk Peel, VPL and mask steps which helps to remove dead skin cells, rejuvenate by hydrating and brightening the skin!

Remember to quote “Ena Teo” if you’re visiting the Medispa or Clinic to get special rates for their services and products!

Photoworthy Captures at ION Orchard’s The Fashion Playhouse

October 21, 2015 Ena Teo Leave a comment

Hi Loves!

A few days ago I had the pleasure to visit ION Orchard’s The Fashion Playhouse with 2 Fashion Inversion rooms; one where you’ll look like you’re floating in mid air and another where you’ll look like a giant when you’re standing on the right side of the room. There’s also a Fashion Reflection room where you can lie on the floor and look like you’re on the front cover of a magazine! It’s definitely something cute, fashionable and photo-worthy.

Unfortunately, the Fashion Reflection room was not in working order the day I was there. So there’s no photos of that room.

The Fashion Playhouse opens from 11am to 8pm daily to shoppers who spend a minimum of S$80 at ION Orchard. In collaboration with the Singapore Tourism Board, ION Orchard is offering free admission for shoppers to the fashion playrooms, and all they need to do is to post at least three Instagram posts with the hashtag #IONPlayhouse and #OrchardRoad. The Fashion Playhouse will be located at ION² from 24 September to 21 October.

Contingency plans have also been put in place in light of the haze. The outdoor Fashion Playhouse will be closed if the PSI readings exceed the unhealthy range (above 150). Signs will be placed at the entrance of the Fashion Playhouse to encourage shoppers to minimise prolonged outdoor activities, or redirect shoppers accordingly.

Aside from the Fashion Playhouse, shoppers will also be inspired by the larger-than-life doll-houses on Levels 2 and 3 of ION Orchard. These carefully styled doll houses showcase the latest collections from the mall’s best-loved brands such as Bally, Diane von Furstenberg and Dsquared2 among others.

Also part of the Autumn Winter Fashion Season are a series of shopper workshops and shopping deals throughout the season, including the perfect accessory this fall – a limited edition Dian Von Furstenberg scarf – with a minimum of $1,000 spent.

Have fun checking out the Fashion Playhouses and shopping at ION Orchard! 😉

Thank you Daphne from Weber Shanwick Singapore PR for the kind invite! Also thanks to the friendly staffs on site for taking the photos for me and posing with me too! 🙂

Experience JMF Multi-Level Peeling for Healthy Skin

October 21, 2015 Ena Teo Leave a comment

Hi Loves~

A short while ago I had the pleasure to try out JMF Multi-Level Peeling at Annabelle Skin boutique and I’d like to share my experience of it with you.

Before this treatment, I’ve not tried any fruit acid peeling treatments before, so this is my first time!^^
Annabelle Skin boutique at The Adelphi, conveniently located a stone’s throw away from City Hall MRT station.
This is the cozy entrance and reception area. This area is also where the therapist will conduct the consultation prior to the treatment. The therapist will provide an in-depth skin analysis using a skin scanner and advise the level of JMF Multi-Peeling accordingly.

The therapist shared a very insightful comment about my skin, that my acne prone skin could be a result of my facial hair (I have more facial hair than normal). Even though it’s not obvious to the naked eye, under the skin scanner, the acne spots I have on my skin could be caused by irritation or dust collected due to the facial hair. This was the first time I have heard about my facial hair being a cause of my acne and I will take note to remove my facial hair via mask, laser or a simple knife tool (also recommended by popular American beauty Youtuber Caribel).

The therapist also shared that I should use an oil based cleanser as it does the job of removing make up and especially sun block much better than just water based cleanser. So ever since then, I have taken her advice and started using my Kose oil based cleanser (which also smells really good, hehe) and I do think this advice have proven useful! So basically I am very impressed with Annabelle Skin’s therapist because, despite having been to a handful of facial salons, non of them have actually given me such valuable insights, which I really appreciate. 🙂

Annabelle Skin’s facial/therapy room.
A snap of my bare face, pre treatment. Some prominent redness on the cheeks, nose and forehead with acne/pimple spots scattered around. Unfortunately I have not been having the best of skin lately as I have been under a fair bit of stress juggling a few things on hand. Not an excuse because I really had awesome skin earlier this year… hahaha! The truth really is, if we don’t stress so much, sleep early/more and be happy, we will all be healthier and have better skin. But being #SoSingaporean, skincare, makeup and facial are our skin’s saviours when we have outbreaks due to stress, am I right? 🙂

For the uninitiated, JMF Multi-Level Peeling gets its name from the JMF brand. Founded in 2004, JMF has since gained popularity in Italy and the rest of Europe. The brand provides safe and effective treatments with customised cocktails of fruit acids such as AHA, BHA, SA, PHA, AKA and other active ingredients to gently exfoliate, tighten and rejuvenate the skin. This unique synergy reduces the irritation usually caused by the penetration of fruit acids and, at the same time, allows dead skin to be sloughed off safely and for active ingredients to be absorbed effectively. New skin cells are regenerated rapidly, thus the skin becomes smoother as impurities are removed naturally. The treatment also plumps up and hydrates the skin, giving it an energised and oxygenated boost, along with reduced appearance of facial wrinkles and fine lines with its antioxidant effect.

The JMF Multi-Level Peeling treatment comprises of a highly focused three-level approach namely T1, T2 and T3, with 27%, 37% and 55% fruit acid at each respective level. At every stage, the skin will be treated with a FIX solution encompassing Aloe Vera extracts for a neutralising effect which soothes and calms the skin before the next level is administered.

By the third level, T3 is only applied at targeted spots for a localised treatment. A therapist will decide on the level of peeling and adjust the treatment according to the client’s skin conditions at every step of the way. The JMF Multi-Level Peeling treatment is a highly versatile treatment suitable for all skin conditions including acne, enlarged pores, dull skin complexions, scarring, pigmentation, and mature, wrinkled skin.

According to the therapist, a few treatments would be recommended to achieve the full results. So my one time experience is really just to share more about the process and what you can expect if you’re going to try it for the first time! 🙂

So after the skin consultation, Annabelle Skin’s therapist recommended that for my skin, we can reach level 2, also known as T2 stage, for the JMF Multi Level Peeling. I can feel the tingling sensation quite strongly already at level 1 so I was quite hesitant to go for T2. Bearing in mind, I have quite a low threshold for pain. So the therapist suggested a very quick T2 process, applying it for about a minute rather than the full 3-5 minutes. I agreed and went along with her advise as I trusted her experience and professionalism.

This is the full JMF Multi-Level Peeling Method, for your reference:

Treatment for all skin types. Therapist to observe the different skin conditions and adjust treatment time and level of treatment according to the individual skin’s needs.

Remove make-up with DM clean. (Cleansing milk to clear impurities and makeup)

2 . Cleanse with Sens Pre-peel (for sensitive, dry skin) or Deep Pre-peel (for oily skin or skin withenlarged pores)

3 . Remove with cotton wool soaked in cool water. Dry thoroughly, using tissues.

4 . Apply T1 composit (27%) to each area in sequence for about 3-5 minutes, and neutralise with Fix composit. Remove with cotton wool soaked in cool water. Dry thoroughly, using tissues.

5 . Apply T2 composit (37%) to each area in sequence for about 3-5 minutes, and neutralise with Fix composit. Remove with cotton wool soaked in cool water. Dry thoroughly, using tissues.

6 . Check on the skin’s condition for problem areas such as wrinkle, pimples or pigmentation, apply T3 composit (55%) to each area in sequence as a localised treatment for 1-3 minutes, and neutralise with Fix composit. Remove with cotton wool soaked in cool water. Dry thoroughly, using tissues.

7 . Apply Vita AE or Vita C complex for skin that needs anti-ageing, anti-oxidant or brightening treatment (not applicable for young skin or clogging skin)

8 . Apply SB. Cream composit

9 . Apply Mask composit and leave in place for 8 minutes.

10 . Remove with cotton wool soaked in cool water. Dry thoroughly, using tissues.

11 . Apply SB.creaM composit as moisturiser.

After the treatment, I was given these product samples to use for home care, refer to end of post for more product details and information and where to get them. I personally think the mixture of Dr Belter and JMF cleansers/ moisturizer provided for a simple and gentle home care, post treatment.

Gentle makeup remover, toner and cleanser.With cleanser and moisturizer.Addition of light scrub after 1 week.

Keeping track of the results after the JMF Multi Level Peeling treatment!:This is a 4 days after the treatment, my bare face right after the shower. Skin is redder where the sensitive areas/acne spots are as the JMF Multi-Level Peeling has activated these areas for dead skin/acne removal from within – it was a little unbearable the first 2-3 days as this process takes place.

Bare skin after 12 days / less than 2 weeks. Redness has definitely died down. Overall, although the treatment can be altered for all or most skin types, I’d personally recommend this more for people with normal to dry skin type, or if you’re looking for a natural fruit acid peeling treatment for skin removal and rejuvenation! And I definitely think Annabelle Skin boutique provides personalized, professional and thoughtful service that makes you feel at home and cozy.
Ending this post with my made up, funny faces instead of a bare face! 😛

Thank you Annabelle Skin and The Good Folks for the kind invitation!

SK-II’s #ChangeDestiny Campaign, From Lawyer to Fashion Designer

September 30, 2015 Ena Teo Leave a comment

This post is sponsored by The 7th Chamber.

Hi Loves!

Do you believe that you have the power to change your destiny?

When I look back at my old self, I’m glad that I’ve dared to take the path less travelled. I decided to go to LASALLE College of the Arts when most of my peers went to the top 3 local universities. I dared to take up extra real estate classes and eventually obtained my property agent license while I was juggling with classes and extra-curriculum activities. And even now, sometimes I wonder why do I tire myself out with property, blogging and extra passive income businesses – and I always come back to the realization that I can’t give up on any of these activities because I am passionate about what I am doing and i know that I am working towards my dreams and my future.

So, when I found out about SK-II’s latest campaign #ChangeDestiny that aims to inspire women around the world to pursue a life that they are passionate and happy with, it really struck a chord with me. I love how SK-II dares to take women around the world literally beyond the skin and into their hearts. Inspire and ignite their dreams and passions once again.

Priscilla Shunmugam decided to leave her job as a lawyer to pursue her true calling to be a fashion designer. She bravely changed her own destiny regardless of the little ‘dictators’ in her life. Watch Priscilla’s inspiring video here:

I don’t make it known on my blog or across my social media, but I always aspire to inspire my readers and followers with every blog/IG/FB post. Whether it’s a photo or a caption, I hope to bring a smile to your face and/or increase the zeal you have for your life. I want you to know that the woman in the SK-II video can be you, too. You don’t necessarily have to leave a lawyer job and become a fashion designer to #ChangeDestiny. If you feel that you have neglected your dreams, I hope this post inspires you to believe that you can and take that first step of faith in living the life you’ve always wanted. A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step – your destiny awaits you.

Skin Renewal with Nu-Factor Skincare Range

September 25, 2015 Ena Teo Leave a comment

Hi Loves!

I’ve been using Nu-Factor’s skincare range for almost a month now and it’s time for a review! 🙂

For the uninitiated, Nu-Factor skincare range is made in Singapore by a R&D company who believes in 100% nature ingredients.

Andew Szalay, the Founder of Grow Company USA, the world’s premier manufacturer of nutrients and cosmetics ingredients, discovered that every nutrient required its own unique peptide in order for it to be absorbed through the cell wall of the appropriate bio-carrier. It took much perseverance through trial and error before the right peptide sequence was discovered for each specific nutrient. Hence, the Nu-factor^® process utilises Nature to grow concentrated, natural, and complete nutrients in food form…..a form your body recognises and appreciates. Nu-factor^® presents the most effective nutrients available to improve your quality of life. From the inside-out, and the outside-in. Szalay says” The investment in time and effort was well worth it as it birthed a whole new way of producing vitamins and minerals that are natural, highly concentrated, and vastly superior. “

To find out even more about the technology used, visit:

http://nu-factor.com/technology-2

I had the pleasure to try out this Nu Factor’s skincare range that consists of these 5 products: Essential Cleanser ($55), Essential Toner ($76), Day Essential ($95), Night Essential ($95) & Essential Renewal ($95).

Nu-Factor Essential Cleanser is my favourite product of the range. I was very pleasantly surprised by this facial cleanser because it reminds me of Chanel’s Le Blanc Intense Brightening Foam Cleanser, it smells very fragrant and gives you a clear and fairer effect after using it. I feel that this facial cleanser is very effective in removing the dead skin built up on my forehead to give me an overall even skin tone.

For the full review, you can head over to In The Loop here to check it out! 😉

Thank you to Janice from In The Loop and Nu-Factor for the products for review!

Relaxing Weekend Getaway at ParkRoyal On Pickering

September 15, 2015 Ena Teo 1 Comment

Hi Loves!

Recently I had the pleasure to indulge in a staycation at ParkRoyal on Pickering, Singapore’s first hotel in a garden. The entire stay passed like a breeze, thanks to the great service, wonderful lush atmosphere and lovely food and drinks served. My bestie Fion and I stayed at the Orchid Club Deluxe Room and enjoyed access to the Orchid Club Lounge which provides afternoon tea, cocktail and breakfast. I fell in love with the hotel’s architecture which integrates organic lines and greenery so seamlessly. All in all, I definitely recommend this place as a weekend getaway for locals and a hotel of choice for foreigners! If you’re looking for activities recommendations, check out The Ultimate Singapore Day Out web app to plan your day according to your personality. 😉

Check in counter that resembles the base of the grand canyon.
Refreshing calamansi drinks served at check in.

Alcina Hyaluron 2.0, My Current Favourite Moisturizer

August 30, 2015 Ena Teo 2 Comments

Hi Loves!

A while back I was invited for an Alcina’s bloggers event and brought home a goodie bag for review. For those who haven’t heard of them, it’s because they’re a German brand that’s new to Singapore market and recently just launched on Luxola.com. It was a great time at the event having coffee and treats while hearing from the Alcina R&D team including their makeup artist. I also got to try out their skincare and makeup as I had the pleasure to be the model for the demo. 🙂 I really enjoy their skincare which is very hydrating and has a fresh botanical scent. And I super love their moisturizer Hyaluron 2.0 which includes hyaluronic acid. After using the Hyaluron 2.0 moisturizer for a week, my skin was very well hydrated and a lot of my blemishes cleared up and I felt that my skin became better with this moisturizer, so I highly recommend it! You can get it on Luxola at $74.95 here. Their makeup also wears very well on my skin and holds up well even in the humid weather. Expect a more matt finishing with their foundation an makeup and their Sun Kiss Powder is exactly that – gives you that Sun Kiss look! You can get it at $49.95 here.
Club Street Social cafe at 5 Gemmil Lane. Beautiful array of Alcina cosmetics!Variations of powders, blushers & sun kissed powder.
Eyeshadows in earth colours.Richly pigmented lipsticks from natural to bold colours, moisturizing with a shiny finishing.
Had the chance to try on this eye and lip cream before the lipstick and it’s super good. I highly recommend it for people with dry skin and looking for a lip moisturizer that’s effective without being overly oily.
Another product highlight is the Alcina Skin Clarifying Fluid that promises to clear blemishes and and yield a clear and healthy skin complexion with prolonged use. To be used after cleansing face and before makeup. I would recommend this over the Hyaluron 2.0 as a moisturizer for blemish skin and after the blemishes clear up, then change to the Hyaluron 2.0.
Close ups of makeup with gorgeous rope embossing.Bold red lipstick.
Alcina also has their version of nourishing capsules for more mature skin and for a velvety finish.More Alcina products.Mocha and treats!Listening to the Alcina team share about their R&D base in Germany – the building and weather looks awesome!
Alcina make up artist shares her experience with Alcina products and how they’re holding up well even in Singapore’s humid weather.
Had the chance to snap a few pics during the make up demo too! Haha. Posting my before make over; simpler, fairer and dewy make up look.

Post make up demo look; matt finishing, more contouring and defined look.Alcina’s Sun Kiss Powder and Hyaluron 2.0.

The Face Shop Best Selling Suncare; Sebum Control & Power Long Lasting

August 30, 2015 Ena Teo Leave a comment

Hi Loves!

You know what are my top three tips for healthy skin?
1. Drink water regularly
2. Have sufficient sleep and sleep early (ideally by 11pm, unfortunately I always sleep late T_T#)
3. Sunblock is your best friend!
Basically the sun and dehydration of the skin is the cause of all, if not most of the skin problems. So keeping your skin hydrated and protected from harmful sun rays is essential to good, healthy skin! 😉

If you’re completely new to the realm of sunblocks, especially facial sunblock, then I’ve got good news and recommendations for you today!

A year ago, I blogged and reviewed THEFACESHOP’s then new Natural Sun Eco range and their Power Long Lasting Sun Cream (Sunblock). Fast forward today, this Sun Cream is now THEFACESHOP’s best selling product under their Natural Sun Eco range and it’s reportedly selling at 1 piece every minute. To recap the benefits of this product, in addition to UV protection, the Natural Sun Eco Power Long Lasting covers blemishes and corrects skin tone, doubling up as a light makeup base as well.

This year, THEFACESHOP introduces yet another amazing sun screen- Natural Sun Eco Sebum Control Moisture Sun SPF40 PA++. A lightweight textured sun block, this new sun screen contains eco-certified organic Sunflower extracts and controls excessive sebum. Unlike the usual sun creams in the market that is sticky and oily in texture, the Natural Sun Eco Sebum Control Moisture Sun Cream highlights itself on its super lightweight texture and amazing sebum controlling functions.

I personally love THEFACESHOP’s new Natural Sun Eco Sebum Control Moisture Sun Cream because it’s an effective sunblock while still being lightweight and able to provide sebum control – doesn’t clog pores or make my oily/combination skin feel more oily than it is! PLUS it has this really refreshing scent I love. I highly recommend this sunblock for everyday use for people with normal to oily/combination skin like me. And it’s affordably priced at S$23.90. I would recommend THEFACESHOP’s Power Long Lasting Sun Cream if you’re constantly under the sun or if you’re planning to head out to the beach. The beauty of this product is that it can double up as lightweight foundation and cover blemishes, so on days when you feel lazy or are running a quick errand, this is all you need for your base! This sunblock is available for sale at S$28.90.

Thank you THEFACESHOP for sending this super cute media kit and sunblocks for review!

Effective Scar Removal Mederma Proactive Gel

August 25, 2015 Ena Teo 2 Comments

Hi Loves!

You know how pesky mosquito bite scars can be on the calves, legs, arms and neck? Thank God for scar removal gels!

Mederma, the No. 1 doctor-recommended scar management brand in the USA, is now in Singapore with their highly-raved Mederma Proactive Gel, a great healing product that has been proven to help to visibly reduce scarring. This proactive gel works on many types of scars – from operation and old-injury scars, and even acne scars!

Thanks to Mederma SG and The PR People, they prepared a Quick-Fix Kit just for me, for those little emergencies and curveballs that life throws up, including, of course, the Mederma Proactive Gel.

I’ve tried it on my facial acne scars and I was impressed with the translucent gel and especially how lightweight it was! My bestie Fion suffered from pesky mozzie scars from her Taiwan trip and I passed her the gel to use and she LOVES it! She’s now unto her second tube. Beverly also blogged about how she used 3 tubes after her C-section birth to her baby. This stuff is legit, guys.

Mederma Proactive Gel is available in 20g ($29.80) and 50g ($59.80) at all Guardian, Unity, and selected Watsons stores. The 50g pack size is only available at Guardian stores.

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~
