Hollywood Glamour with Charlotte Tilbury Fallen Angel Smokey Eyeshadow Palette

May 20, 2015 Ena Teo Leave a comment

Hi Loves!

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

Angelina Jolie’s Red Carpet Smokey Eyes Look

Kirsten Steward’s Red Carpet Smokey Eyes Look

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

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

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

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

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

Tighten and Lift Skin with Le Coffret CosmeLED French’s Best Anti-Ageing Skincare Routine

May 19, 2015 Ena Teo Leave a comment

Hi Loves!

It’s been a while since I last blogged about a new skincare product and routine and here’s something that I’ve been trying out of late. 🙂

EstheClinic Paris is a French group of aesthetic and anti-ageing clinics at the forefront of technology and directly inspired by aesthetic medicine. Their treatments combine high technology procedures with cosmeceuticals such as hair removal, anti-ageing and body contouring. The group is founded by French doctors and they are always involved in developing procedures and cosmeceuticals and the follow up of the treatments. They are also the manufacturer of cosmetics, highly effective and innovative skincare that’s 100% Made in France.

They have recently opened their first aesthetic clinic in Singapore at Tras Street.

I was sent a box of their Le Coffret CosmeLED, a unique anti-ageing kit that leaves the skin looking radiant, firmer and younger. In case you’re wondering what the name means, “Le Coffret” stands for jewel box, so it’s essentially saying its a precious box of skincare. It’s inspired by aesthetic medicine and includes innovative cosmeceuticals and micro-needle device that acts in synergy to reverse the signs of ageing:

Le DermaBooster – celluar stimulation device, to firm and tone the skin
Le Serum – global anti-ageing skincare, for a radiant and even skin
La Creme – lifting and firming cream to tighten the skin

Detailed product write up and ingredient list of each product on the back of the box.

Directions of how to use the products.

1) Le DermaBooster – Roll the head gently over the facial areas 5 times in each direction, 2-3 times a week (every other day). On clean face, before the Serum and Creme.

2) Le Serum – use once or twice a day in the morning and/or evening. One drop and gently tap into skin with fingertips.

Translucent, lightweight serum that smells like peach. 🙂

Applies clear and leaves skin hydrated.

La Creme – Use morning and evening, after La Serum. (There’s a mistake on the print saying use before, but should be after the serum).

A pretty consistent white creme.Take about a minute to gently massage the creme into the skin before it’s absorbed.

It takes a while to get used to this Anti-ageing kit, I was quite apprehensive of using the Le DermaBooster with all the micro-needles on my facial skin – so I started on my clean hands, followed by my chin and lower face. What this product does is massaging and activating the facial nerves and will be particularly helpful to firm and tone up older, sagging skin. See here and here. It’s important to keep the needles clean by washing and drying them regularly. My favourite of the kit has to be the serum – I use one generous drop over my face at night and apply the creme and it keeps my face radiant, brighter and clearer (from blemishes) the next morning. I also really like the peach scent. The Creme is a little too rich for my preference, I prefer water based moisturizer, however when I tested on my lower face / neck area it didn’t break me out so I have tried it on my face – it does leave my face a little tighter after. So this would be great for skin that requires a little lift. This Le Coffret CosmeLED is definitely something to try out if you’re looking for a tightening and lifting home skincare routine!

Visit EstheClinic website here to enquire and purchase this set.
Thank you Manon and EstheClinic for this set for review. All reviews are my own.

May 11, 2015 Ena Teo Leave a comment

Hi Loves!

It’s time for Singapore Fashion Week again!

If you haven’t, check out the video compilation of the awesome designs from last year’s designers! I personally liked the Harper’s Bazaar’s Asia New Gen Fashion Designer Award designs better then the Star Creations. As the designs were more wearable and commercially viable – I wanted to wear a lot of the designs! 😀

More about the Harpers Bazaar’s Asia New Gen Fashion Designer 2015, the winner of the competition will be awarded a scholarship for a Master’s degree in fashion from the prestigious Istituto Marangoni (worth GBP26,700; about $56,430) in either its Paris, London or Milan campuses. He or she will also have the opportunity to retail their collection to a global market through online retailer, Inverted Edge. Over and above all this, the winner and all 10 finalists’ collections will be showcased in the five sponsoring Asian editions of Harper’s BAZAAR.

Since 2013, the top finalists from Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia and Singapore have received immeasurable publicity and support from the industry: From having their collections featured in the pages of the magazine, to getting the opportunity to showcase them at Fashion Weeks in Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta and more around the region.

The five editors from Harper’s BAZAAR Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia and Vietnam will be on the judging panel in this regional competition. The finalists would be judged on the following criteria to ensure they have what it takes to succeed on a global scale: 1) Imagination and originality 2) Consistency 3) Technical knowledge in garment construction 4) Commercial viability of their designs and 5) Business and marketing acumen.

I’m looking forward to see the designers and their designs come this Saturday!

Dad’s Birthday Celebration! (Belated Update)

May 9, 2015 Ena Teo Leave a comment

Hi Loves!

So, my dad’s birthday’s in September and here are some photos from the 2 celebrations and awesome yummy food we had last September, kekeke!

For the first dinner celebration, we went to Ah Yat, which is famous for their delicious and tender Abalone! We went to the Bugis/Hotel Grand Pacific branch. I only took like the first few dishes and I think I was too busy eating to capture the rest, hahaha!

I think this is the duck skin dish.

Fried Man Tous!

Pork Ribs!

They also have this really yummy chicken and awesome 3 meat dish; pork, chicken and duck, must try!

With my sisters, parents and Daddy’s good friends. ^^

For dinner round 2, we went to Teochew Traditional Seafood Restaurant, at my dad’s friend’s recommendation and treat! He was raving about it (during dinner 1) and it really didn’t disappoint! The only downside is it’s quite inconvenient if you don’t drive. I thought I could walk from Paya Lebar and I walked REALLY FAR. I was quite amazed at how far I walked. Better to cab in! Anyhoos, this restaurant supposedly use Shark’s bones to cook the soup base so its really yummy. I won’t oversell the soup, so you won’t go with damn high expectations. Just go with an open mind and enjoy the good food!

Even HK Actress Kenneth Ma and Charmaine Sheh come here!

With family and Dad’s friends!

Happy Birthday Papa!

Look at the really yummy and fresh ingredients!

They have this salted egg dish which is like zomg delicious. Must try!

Ok, I hope I didn’t make you too hungry with this post, these are places you can bring your parents for the next family dinner! 😉

Singapore Blog Awards 2014 (Flashback aka Super Belated Post)

May 8, 2015 Ena Teo Leave a comment

Hi Loves!

~~I think by now you’re probably used to my super belated (read: embarrassingly late) event blog posts/updates.~~

Singapore Blog Awards 2014 took place last August… I have a ton of event updates and I’ve got to start somewhere, so I guess here’s a good one to begin with? 😛

It’s nice to see that most, if not all the bloggers and I still look pretty much the same except for changes in hairstyles! I guess that’s why it’s nice to take photographs now and then, to track changes in our styles. 🙂

I’m glad I took part in Singapore Blog Awards because I got to meet up with other fellow beauty bloggers who are so much fun to be with because we share the same interest in skincare, makeup and blogging! So there’s always endless conversations and we really learn a lot from one another, like product reviews, PR practices and even digital softwares that help us to blog or Instagram better! 😉

With Kymm, June & Min Ru.

With Erin blogger of MillionMars.com and awesome mummy of 2 now!

With bloggers Linda, Cheryl, Kymm, MinRu, Jodie, June, Jerlene and some of the bloggers’ plus ones!

With Linda & Meryl!

My Favourite Daily Wear Lipsticks

May 7, 2015 Ena Teo Leave a comment

Hi Loves!

Today I’d like to share 5 of my favourite daily wear lipsticks… I use these lipsticks on rotation.

From Left to Right: Etude House Dear My Wish Lipstick in PK001, Chanel Rouge Allure Fougueuse (138), Elizabeth Arden Beautiful Colour Moisturizing Lipstick Pink Punch 30, Etude House Etoinette Crystal Shine in PRD301, Estee Lauder Pure Color Envy Shine 320 Surreal Sun.

Yes you’ll notice that the bullets are quite similar in colour, ranging from pink to orangey red. You know how when you like something, like denim top, you end up buying and having several different type of denim tops? I tend to veer towards pink and orangey reds that complements an everyday natural look for work while still having a visible and vibrant colour. 🙂

Swatches! I arranged the colours from the pinkest to red to orangey red. I tend to use Etude House Lipsticks a lot because the colours are very sweet and natural, moisturizing plus the packaging is really cute. All of these lipsticks have great pigmentation, I usually just use one coat (and touch up when necessary) although for events I’d go for double coat for longer wear. Chanel lipstick has a push and pop secure lock which is pretty cool whilst the Estee Lauder has a magnetic lock. I also prefer this older series for Estee Lauder which has a slimmer casing. Of these 5, Elizabeth Arden’s lipstick is the newest so I haven’t used it much, its similar to Etude House’s PK001, but darker that’s why I like it too, haha!

If you haven’t, follow me on my Instagram @ena_teo (or check out my recent posts on my side bar ->) cause I update almost daily there and I share a lot more new beauty products faster than I do here on the blog! 😛

I don’t know about you, but I love going to spa because of the relaxing ambience and luxurious pampering. Don’t you think that it’ll be wonderful if we can integrate elements of the luxurious spa into our own home and bathroom? Here are my ideas on how you can create your own Home Spa in your bathroom! 🙂

1. Get Inspired

Clean & Fresh. Refer to online product catalog here.

Blue and Comfy. Refer to online product catalog here.

Brown, warm and cosy. Refer to online product catalog here.

2. Get Scented

A Spa’s relaxing ambience is created with the warmth of lighted candles and soothing scents. Decide on your favourite scents, candles and candle holders to create your own scented haven.

LUGGA scented candle in glass, fresh linen, white.

SINNLIG Vanilla Scented Candles in glass.

SINNLIG scented tealight, full blossom, lilac.

BLOMSTER candle holder, set of 3, white.

GOTTGORA Lantern in light pink.ROTERA, lantern for tealight.

Hotels and Spas always use thick and comfy towels, now that’s the way to conclude your Home Spa experience!

ÅFJÄRDEN Bath towel, white.

Firefly In the Light Musical Review

April 9, 2015 Ena Teo Leave a comment

Hi Loves~

You might have read in a post I published last year about the musical Firefly in the Light, well if you haven’t you can check it out here.

I attended the musical with my sister which was at the Arts House Chamber. The story is about Wendy, a talented school girl who wants to pursue her dream to be a singer and she leaves her hometown, only to be riddled by challenges and bog down in life… While her childhood friend and lover Jake becomes very successful in a career that she dreams of. It’s very poignant because Wendy could not realize her potential.

I believe that this musical reflects the fears of Shayna Toh, the prodigious musical writer who penned both the music and the lyrics. The title “Firefly in the Light” is ominous in that as the Firefly flies towards the light, it can mean death. Nonetheless, I believe these fears are unfounded, as I believe that many, including I, continue to wish Shayna courage and success as she overcomes her fears and continuing pursuing her dreams and showcasing her talents.

Regarding the cast, I wished that the leads Rachel Tay and Linden Furnell had more chemistry. One thing of note, the supporting/ ensemble cast (Ivan Chan, Chia DeZhong, Sri Widati Ernawan Putri, Siti Maznah, Stephanie Phang) for this musical were superb – they had incredible chemistry, full of humour and gave their all for the performance. I feel honoured to be able to witness this one night only beautiful performance put together by such talented local cast and crew and I wish all of them continued success!

Thank you Firefly in the Light team for the kind invitation.

My sister sat in the then PM Lee Kuan Yew’s spot while I was seated on Mr Ong Eng Guan’s seat. #CheapThrill. 😛

Here’s 1 of my favourite songs from the line up, the other one is “What I didn’t know”, sung by Wendy but not available on Youtube…

Fresh L.A. Look with Chez Vous Hair

April 9, 2015 Ena Teo 3 Comments

Hi Loves!

A while back I headed back to Chez Vous for a new look, I didn’t have any particular look in mind and just trusted hair stylist Jamie to do what she’s good at. 😉 She told me that I’d look good with blond highlights, so I just went ahead with it! Very adventurous, I know. I very surprised by the look at first because I wasn’t used to the blond / ash highlights. But majority of my friends remarked that its a fresh new look and that they like this look… I sorta feel like Elsa (more specifically should be the younger sister Anna, hahaha) from the Disney animated movie, Frozen. I think that with this look, I feel like an L.A. girl, if I may say so myself, LOL.

Check out my “new” look
(well, not so new anymore since I take forever to post it up, lol):

Under the shade: ash highlights and brown base.

Back lit: Colour of hair becomes a lot lighter.

Marie France Bodyline PRO-FREEZE Review

April 9, 2015 Ena Teo 1 Comment

Hi Loves!

Recently I had the pleasure to visit Marie France Bodyline to try out their PRO-FREEZE treatment, which is a new treatment that uses fat-freezing technology to safely and effectively remove unwanted fat cells.

How PRO-FREEZE works is exposing the fat cells to an extreme cold temperature, causing them to be frozen and degenerated. These degenerated fat cells will be eliminated from the body via the body’s own metabolism system and can be permanently remove up to 25% of the unwanted fat in a single treatment session, thereby reducing the thickness of the fat layer. It’s an alternative to liposuction and is most effective for areas such as tummy, waist (love handles), hips (saddle backs) and inner thighs.

It is said that visible result in loss of fat can be seen in 3 weeks following the treatment, with more significant results shown between 3 – 6 months. People with major serious illness and sensitive to extreme coldness or pregnant are not suitable to undergo PRO-FREEZE.

The entire PRO-FREEZE treatment takes about 45-60 minutes. After a quick consultation with the staff, I decided to try out the treatment on my back thighs, the starting 5-10 minutes was very cold and I could feel the strong suction from the machine. After that, my body was accustomed to the cold sensation and suction and I was just resting head down on the bed while the PRO-FREEZE machine did all the fats-busting work on my thighs, hahaha! The staff applied a very generous amount of gel and a gel layer on my skin before attaching the machine, which she says, helps to cushion my skin from the extreme cold. After the treatment, the area was very cold and I was a bit worried that the cold will result in condensation and causing an unsightly wet patch on the dress I was wearing, but it didn’t. 🙂 However there was some residual gel left at my lower thighs, so I advise a thorough wipe down after the session. 😉 I was advised to drink 2 litres of water for the following 3-4 days and to also follow up for 2-3 sessions for the most optimum results.

The MFB staff that attended to my also mentioned that Fann Wong enjoyed this treatment after her pregnancy to regain her svelte figure. I would recommend this treatment for a fuss free fat removing experience. 🙂

If you’re wondering about Marie France Bodyline’s customers satisfaction, you’ll be happy to know that Nielsen, a leading global consumer research and measurement company, conducted a consumer survey on 105 women (aged between 22 and 40) who underwent body contouring treatments twice a week, over six weeks (in November and December 2014) at Marie France Bodyline. Being one of the well-trusted, leading slimming professionals in Singapore, Marie France Bodyline has taken the bold step to release the results of a consumer survey on slimming solutions.

The results?

93% of women found that their clothes were not as tight and 92% were satisfied with the overall experience*.

So why would these findings mean anything to you if you did not undergo at least a session to experience the treatment, right? So….

Marie France Bodyline is giving a very special promotion of TWO body contouring treatments priced at ONLY SGD$50.00! This not-to-be-missed promotion is valid from now till 30 April 2015. Terms and conditions apply.

For appointments or more information, please call 1800-7777-111.

Thank you WOM PR and Marie France Bodyline for this review invitation and promotion for my readers!

Brighter and Hydrated skin from within with Laneige Collagen Drink

March 26, 2015 Ena Teo 1 Comment

Hi Loves!

You’ve probably seen me posting about LANEIGE’s Collagen Drink on Instagram and in my previous post here. In this post, I’m giving an updated review. 😉

Come 31st March, LANEIGE will be launching their Collagen Drink. Sourced from tilapia fish, each bottle contains 5000mg of collagen peptide which is the amount that is used each day, and thus to be replenished. This drink promises to help brighten, hydrate and smoothen skin. It’s free from artificial colouring, preservatives and sugar and has the lowest amount of calories at only 105KJ. In addition to fish collagen, the drink also has vitamin C which helps to stimulate collagen synthesis and brighten the skin. It also has red orange extract and pomegranate extract, these two ingredients has powerful antioxidative effects and pleasant fruity flavours.

Thanks to LANEIGE & Clozette, I’ve been gifted 6 boxes for 2 months and have been drinking one bottle each night for more than 1 month now. I drink it every night and it’s like a dessert for me. It’s slightly sweet and sourish but definitely not overwhelming and has no fishy scent. With the intake of LANEIGE Collage drink for a month, my skin is visibly more hydrated than before, especially when I wake up after a night’s sleep. Usually my skin will be dehydrated even when I put my usual moisturiser, so I will usually prep my skin with facial mask or sleeping mask the night before. Now with the intake of LANEIGE Collagen Drink at night, my facial skin has become hydrated from within. Also, I was worried that I might gain weight because the LANEIGE Collagen Drink tastes like a dessert, thankfully I didn’t experience any weight gain and that’s because it has the lowest calories at only 105KJ. 🙂

It is recommended to consume the Collagen Drink for 2 months to see results. You can buy them exclusively from LANEIGE boutiques! 🙂

Definitive Yet Feminine Eyebrow Embroidery with Browtisan

March 17, 2015 Ena Teo 2 Comments

Hi Loves!

If our eyes are the windows to our soul, then I suppose our eyebrows are the window frames to our soul! I don’t know about you, but ever since I’ve started putting on makeup and drawing on my eyebrows, I can’t help but notice people’s eyebrows when I meet them. I always appreciate a thick yet defined set of eyebrows, and personally don’t fancy messy, unruly eyebrows or thin and sparse eyebrows with no defined shape.

How I usually draw my eye brows on… 🙂

You might not know this, but I got an injury that cut through my left eyebrow when I was 15, while foolishly “free-cycling” (read: cycling with my hands off the handle bars) while going down a slope. And for that ~~silliness~~ bravado, I have a ~~broken~~ badass left eyebrow, like yunno, the kind Korean actor Key has as well:

Well, I’m not Key or a guy for that matter and scars don’t look half as cool on me as it does on him. I prefer to have full and feminine brows! In addition to the eyebrow scars, I also generally have quite sparse eyebrows… So much so that towards the end of the brows, they’re almost missing. Like this:

>u<

So a while back, I popped by Browtisan’s again (See my first post on eyelash extension here) for an eyebrow embroidery session. And here’s how it went!

First of all, Coco and I had a chat, she wanted to know what image I wanted and she also gave her expertise as to what eyebrows would suit me. I told her that I like the current thick and straight Korean eyebrow trend and have been sporting it for a while now. Like this:

You can even check out a tutorial on how to get this Korean thick eyebrows here.

She then advised me to get a more feminine set of brows without the edge that I usually draw in for my mid brows. Something like this which looks more feminine:

Instead of this which is more harsh:

So after the little chat, she proceeded to draw on the eyebrows which she designed for me and asked me if I was happy with it. I love the new set of eyebrows she designed for me and then we proceeded to the next step, which is to apply anaesthetic cream before the embroidery:

Then the embroidery session took place. If you’re worried about the pain like I am, don’t be. I have very little tolerance for pain and it didn’t hurt due to the anaesthetic cream. For the most part of the session, it feels like a pin is scratching against your skin. When it did start to hurt towards the end of the embroidery after the effect of the cream is starting is wear off, I told Coco about the pain and she proceeded to apply more anaesthetic cream before resuming again. 🙂 Then there’s application of colouring to darken the embroidered brows:

Who looks cuter, crayon Shin Chan aka 蜡笔小新 or me? 😛

The results of Coco’s embroidery are super impressive, incredibly life like!:

Watch the video and check out how 3D and awesome it looks!:

After the embroidery session, I had to apply a gel on for the next 5 days and also prevent my eyebrows from getting wet when I shower. This is so that the embroidered eyebrow lines won’t get infection and also last longer. Also given is a helpful After Care Tips to follow up on: This is how it looks like with the sticker film on my eyebrows before shower:

How my brows look like in the first 5 days with the gel on, which totally reminded me of Spring Summer 2013 Wet Hair runway fashion trend, albeit on the eyebrows, haha. Who knows, maybe that’s gonna be Spring Summer 2016 Wet Eyebrows look eh? 😉

Rag & Bone, Spring Summer 2013 Wet Hair Trend:

And here’s how I’ve been sporting my new, definitive yet feminine and, if I may say so myself, all around lovely new eyebrows, much thanks to Coco from Browtisan!

If you want to have definitive and feminine eyebrows, book your appointment with Browtisan via their hotline 6235 2355, they’re conveniently located in Delfi Orchard, 402 Orchard Road, #03-17.

While Coco’s design and embroidery fees will be higher, you can trust her staff which are trained by her to deliver the same service and results. You can also request for her to design the brows and then let her staff to do the embroidery. 🙂

Thanks to Coco from Browtisan and Nikki from AT Marketing Consultancy for making this session and review possible.

I’ll update again after my touch up session, and also with my newer/current hair colour! 😀

I have normal and oily T-zone (I feel like I’ve repeated this many times over on my blog, lol) so I use the Nuxe Merveillance Expert Correcting Cream for visible lines for normal skin in the day. The lifting eye cream, lifting concentrate & regenerating night cream is suitable for all skin types. I’m super loving the fresh floral scent of Daylily in the range! You can find Nuxe in Singapore at Beauty by Nature outlets, John Little, Robinsons, BHG, Watsons, Guardian and Unity shops.

2. Restore radiant skin with Trilogy

Trilogy’s Blemish Control Gel is a certified natural blemish gel, with salicylic acid that targets and decongests pimples. Antibacterial lemongrass and mandarin help control breakouts and ginger reduces inflammation and rose hip aids repair. I’ve used this for 1-2 weeks and I don’t think the effect of the gel is remarkable when I use in on my acne/pimple blemishes. So don’t expect an instant / overnight reduction, but if you’re all about natural skincare, this is something you might want to keep in mind! Trilogy’s Mineral Radiance Mask promises to energise, purify and deeply cleanse. This certified natural, mineral-rich kaolin clay mask promises to deliver instant radiance with a deep cleansing action. Using native New Zealand pohutukawa extract helps tone and regenerate while emollient oils rosehip and evening primrose nourish and hydrate. This is quite an embarrassing confession; I’ve not actually tried this mask despite having received this before Christmas last year, oops. However I am really sold on this clay mask based on the evening primrose oil ingredient. In case you don’t know, I take the EPO pill every night and it has helped me to balance my hormones so that I have lesser breakouts and thus healthier skin. I don’t know yet if applying it on my face for a mask will be equally good for my skin, but I’ll definitely update either on my Instagram or on the blog in another feature after I’ve used it! 😉

Big thanks to Fusion Cosmetics SG for sending these Nuxe & Trilogy products over!

3. Enjoy CNP, South Korea’s No.1 Cosmeceutical Brand, Now in Singapore

CNP Laboratory, Korea’s leading cosmeceutical skincare brand is now in Singapore~! Founded in 2000, CNP Lab is the brainchild of 50 dermatologists from CNP aesthetic clinic that originates from Korea Gangnam, and they understand the importance and need for good after treatment home care for various skin issues. We had the chance to try their products at the media launch and I’m impressed with their Daily Peeling Foam, a mild, self foaming cleanser that leaves skin smoother and supple after. I was told by the local CNP staff that the Propolis Deep Moisture pack which works like a sleeping pack is also really effective. Both products retail at $48.90 and you can get CNP products from selected Guardian outlets. Am also gifted their masks, Black Head Clear Kit ($14.10), Propolis Energy Ampoule ($40.90) and will update my review in time. 🙂

4. Brighter Skin with Laneige Collagen Drink & Clear C Advanced Effector

Come 31st March, Laneige will be launching their Collagen Drink. Sourced from tilapia fish, each bottle contains 5000mg of collagen peptide which is the amount that is used each day, and thus to be replenished. This drink promises to help brighten, hydrate and smoothen skin. It’s free from artificial colouring, preservatives and sugar and has the lowest amount of calories at only 105KJ. In addition to fish collagen, the drink also has vitamin C which helps to stimulate collagen synthesis and brighten the skin. It also has red orange extract and pomegranate extract, these two ingredients has powerful antioxidative effects and pleasant fruity flavours. Thanks to Laneige & Clozette, I’ve been gifted 3 boxes and have been drinking it for 2 weeks now. I drink it every night and it’s like a dessert for me. It’s slightly sweet and sourish but definitely not overwhelming and has no fishy scent.

In addition to the Collagen Drink, I’ve been religiously using Laneige’s Clear C Advanced Effector, which works as a skin brightening boosting essence, it will help prep the skin to better absorb consequent skin products. It contains 92.5% superberry extract which has a 4 fold anti oxident effect! in 5 weeks, his essence promises moisturized skin, bright skin, clear skin tone, improved skin texture and even skin tone. This product comes with special cotton pad with two textures. After washing and drying your face, pump 2-3 full pumps on the the cotton. In the day, use the patterned /ridges side in the day in an up and down motion on your face and in the night use the smooth portion and gently pat the essence into your skin, you may wrap your face with your hands gently for deeper penetration of the essence on your face. After using this product, it doesn’t promises nor deliver an instant / over night result, however I do think it has helped me to maintain an even skin tone, my forehead tends to be darker but my facial skin tone is more even with this. 🙂

Laneige will also be launching in March their duo lip bars in 10 colours, $34 each. It’s something unique and fresh!

5. Achieve Beautiful Skin from the Inside with Imedeen

In addition to Collagen drink, another consumable skincare product that I am about to commence is Imedeen’s Time Perfection beauty supplement. It contains exclusive collagen rich Marine Complex, packed with proteins and polysaccharides which is naturally found in the skin, and each age defying formula is enhanced with antioxident nutrients. I read very incredible reviews of this product online before accepting it for review so I am really very excited about commencing on a 3 month trial. I will be updating again after my course ends! 🙂

6. Rosy Complexion with Etude House Stay Up Foundation & Sweet Lips with Dear My Wish Lip Talk

Etude House has launched a new line of foundation in addition to their already awesome Magic Any cushion foundations, named Stay Up Foundation range, they have many shades to cater to various skin tones. I am loving their Stay Up Foundation in Rosy, it has a great formulation that provides moderate coverage all day without being heavy, cakey or wearing/melting/sweating off in our humid Singapore weather. You might probably already know I am a major fan of Etude House lipsticks, and it’s no surprise I am a fan of their Dear My Wish Lip Talk range, again great formulation as its neither too light nor heavy, they don’t dry out my lips and plussss super awesome pigmentation in just one coat. I am in love with PK001, PK002 and OR202 (raved by super popular Kbeauty vlogger and make up trainer, Pony).

I’ll be updating more about the Etude House Valentines Day media preview soon. 😉 Thanks Etude House SG for your constant generosity! xx

7. Get Sharp Looking Eyes with Ena’s Highly Recommended Clio Kill Black Brush Eyeliner

Guys, this is my new holy grail eyeliner. If there’s only one eyeliner I can pick, it’s this. It’s super sharp, so I have accurate lines, it doesn’t smudge on my sometimes oily skin and plus it removes cleanly with my normal waterbased cleanser. I use the brown one for days when I want a more natural look. Sometimes I mix both to get a look with more depth. Clio Kill Black, Kill Brown Brush Liner, MAJOR LOVE guys.

8. Slim Down Like Fann Wong Did, with Marie France Bodyline

Honestly I can’t imagine giving birth and losing my figure (still single, but just sayin’! haha). So I’m sure many Singaporean women are super envious of Fann’s figure after pregnancy and this is no doubt thanks to Marie France’s awesome slimming treatments. I mean, just look at her!

If I were her husband Christopher, I will surely be eager to kiss her all day too, hehe!

I was looking for the kissing photo on Marie France’s Instagram and came across their awesome promotion. So if you’re planning to lose some weight after CNY feasting… Make use of this promo! 😉

That’s all for my super long beauty post for CNY!

I hope you enjoyed it!

Usher The New Year Into Your Home with IKEA

February 18, 2015 Ena Teo 1 Comment

Hi Loves!

Well, this isn’t exactly part of the 3 Chinese New Year special features I have in mind, but it fits right in, so it’s the bonus feature I guess! 😀 So far I’ve got your stomach and style covered, now we’re onto dressing up your home for CNY! 😉

As you probably know by now, this year IKEA’s teamed up with a few bloggers, myself included for a special blogger program with special tasks each month. This month, it’s all about redecorating your living room and I’ve decided to do so before CNY! 🙂

Now, check out how my living room looks like before the new decorations come in:

Simple, cream, white and blu-ish coloured decor.

Check out the IKEA decor (except for the two pineapple lanterns, hahaha) I brought home with me! Special thanks to Lionel for accompanying and sending these back with me HAHAHA. 😀

This is how my living room looks like after! When I sent the photos to my close friends, they like how colourful, vibrant and festive it looks! 😀

Putting the before and after photos side by side, for comparison:

Items featured include: Solymys Lantern in White, $14.90, Vintermys Unscented Block Candle in Red, $6.90. Love the weave pattern on it, so pretty.

I bought white because I like how classic and simple it is. I also specially went to google to check that there’s nothing inauspicious about white lanterns, white means health and red means prosperity guys! 😉Featured in this photo are 3 batches of IKEA Pussy Willows in Pink, Purple and Red, $6.90 each. So super affordable! The cylinder glass vase,$34.90.

Knappsave Cushion with festive prosperous pineapple at $9.90. Craftholic Bear in Pineapple print is a gift from my bestie. <3

You might want to get some cheery flowers and colourful assorted decorations like I did for my coffee table. 🙂
Items featured include 7pcs of Smycka Art Flowers 45 at $3.90 each, Ensidig Vase 18 at $1.90, Rotera Lantern at $7.90, Sinnlig orange scented candles at $4.90 for a pack of 30, plus a really super cute bird Barbar Tray 33x at $9.90

Cute hor? >U<
Also featuring Fantastisk Napkins in Yellow and Orange, $3.90 each These are fabulous quality napkins, guys.

Pssst, grab these cute floral and fish ice trays at $1.90 each only! Fish stands for 年年有余, meaning there’s always excess, while flowers stand for 花开富贵, prosperity blossoms. Isn’t it wonderful?

Happy shopping at IKEA loves! Thanks IKEA for the gift card so I can pick out these wonderful new goodies for my home. <3

1. Be WOWed by The Zalora Label’s CNY Collection

The Zalora Label’s launched their CNY collection at their Pop Up store at ION Orchard and I really love it. It’s a wonderful blend of the traditional and the modern; festive prints paired with fresh cuts, silhouettes and designs. Plus, the quality is great, considering the affordable price points from $25-60. Be sure to check out the collection online here. There’s a promotion of up to 50% off their CNY collection (Wow!). In case you’re wondering, here are my top 2 picks: here and here. Use my code “ZBAPQGVB” to get 15% off! 😉

Love Bonito fans are rejoicing as they’ve launched a pop up at 313@Somerset #04-32, that’ll be open till 28th Feb. Their new CNY collection is pocket friendly priced from $32-59. Hurry pop by before the pop up’s gone. The dress I’m wearing in the photo is their Covet Dallaiah Jacquard Flare Dress with a sexy back. 😉

3. Frame Up with Tokyo Star Optical

Frames are getting a lot of attention these days, with the nerdy / hipster (depending on which look rocks your boat, right?) looks catching on trend. There’s no better time than now as Tokyo Star Optical is bringing Tokyo cool to our shores. Tokyo Star Optical believes in changing your frames to suit your mood, you know, just like how we change our shoes and bags to suit the occasion! As such they have a beautiful array of styles and designs to match the various aspects of our lives. I love it! The best part is, they are quite affordably priced too, you can pick from 3 fixed package prices – $96, $126 and $156 – includes imported frames and Tokyo aspheric lens. They promise a quick 15 min processing time (longer if you have a very high degree tho), visit them for your next eyewear fashion update! Tokyo Star Optical is located at 1 Raffles Link, #B1-31 CityLink Mall, Singapore 039393 and is open daily from 11am to 9pm. Tel: (+65) 6532 0071

Feast Well For Chinese New Year 2015

February 17, 2015 Ena Teo 2 Comments

Hi Loves!

Chinese New Year is coming right up this Thursday and I’ve got a few great food & drinks ideas for you & your family in this post! 😉

1. Enjoy Soup Spoon’s Healthy Collagen Hot Pot at the comfort of your own home!

Chinese New Year calls for family reunion dinners… and we’re all so busy with work that dinner preparation and cooking can be quite demanding, right? To meet the needs of busy customers like us, the thoughtful Soup Spoon founder Anna has created the Collagen Hot Pot set which you can conveniently order from online here, arrange which day you want to pick up and all you need is just a hot pot and your love ones to enjoy dinner with! Just a heads up that the entire bag is about 10kg, so be sure to have someone strong to carry with you and you might want to take cab or have a car ride home with the heavy bag. 😉 The Collagen Hotpot come in two sizes, Deluxe for 4 pax ($98) or Premium for 6 pax ($128), the latter which includes Whole Cordyceps Chicken, Collagen Chicken Stock, Clear Chicken Stock, Kimchi Stock, (stocks in 1.5L each) Assorted Seafood & Veg, 3 dipping sauces (Soya, Garlic & Chilli) & Osmanthus Jelly! I foresee that this is gonna be a hot seller as it makes for an ideal, fuss free yet sumptuous CNY gathering meal. This Collagen Hot Pot set is only available for takeaway. Want to know more about the benefits of Collagen for your body and skin? Check out their very helpful & informative site here.

I had the sweet privilege to enjoy this yummy Collagen Hot Pot twice, the first time with a few bloggers at the Soup Spoon Suntec store and the second time, I enjoyed it with my family… It was such a delight to enjoy the yummy collagen soup base which was thick and yummy, and sweet with all the vegetables and cordyceps chicken! I definitely think that this Collagen Hot Pot is super value for money. It’s meant for 5-6 persons but if you prepare additional rice/noodles, soup stock and ingredients, you can definitely host up to 10 people, or have 2 rounds of dinner with the recommended 5-6pax. Check out my photos for the 2 rounds of Collagen Hot Pot below! 😀

The Collagen base which is to be first melted/cooked into the Hot Pot.

All the very fresh vegetables that comes in the Deluxe Set!

Even includes Prawns and meat portions!

Cordycep Chicken taken out after its cooked in the soup, to allow space for all the other ingredients…

Super sweet and yummy hot pot!

Colourful and festive~

Cheers to good health and prosperity with our Collagen soup!

The most amazing sauces… Spicy chilli, Lemon & Ginger, Sesame Soya… LOVE LOVE LOVE!

And ending off with Osmanthus Jelly, So oriental, light and wonderful end to the Collagen hot pot!

Just in case you’re not sure how to prepare the hotpot, check out this nifty poster:

My family loved the Collagen Hot Pot and my sister Lu Jia was so inspired that she came up with a story line for my post today, hope you’ll enjoy the short story! 😀 Thanks jie for the cats, cat pictures credits to Dayre, heh.

Are you tired and weary after a long day of work?

Come home to enjoy a warm and delicious Soup Spoon Collagen Hot Pot with your family!

You can add on ingredients to what’s in the set, we prepared seafood, more mushrooms, meat and veges.

Enjoy it with your family…

After eating you’ll be very full~

And Feel Awesome! 😀

Thank you Soup Spoon, Anna & Cherie for hosting us for your delicious Collagen Hot Pot! <3

2. Enjoy Yu Pin Zhen Bird’s Nest at home

Bird’s Nest is widely known to be an oriental delicacy which boosts many health benefits; “As it is rich in protein, collagen and other nutrients and minerals, the consumption of bird’s nest is scientifically proven to have several health benefits, such as stimulating the regeneration of cells, strengthening our immune and respiratory system, and improving the performance of our internal organs. When consumed by pregnant women, it could also help to strengthen the body of the mother and foetus as well as speed up the post-birth recovery process. Besides that, bird’s nest is known for its beauty benefits that help women to rejuvenate and maintain smooth, radiant and youthful complexion.” credits here. However, it’s not easily affordable because a lot of work goes into rearing the sparrows’ for their nest, obtaining their nest and then cleaning it effectively. Thanks to our local brand Yu Pin Zhen who has invested in cleaning technologies for pure birds nest, they have also conceptualized the idea of delivering cooked birds’ nest, so you can now order them by the bowls and enjoy it at the comfort of your home! For this CNY, why not surprise your parents and reward them with a bowl of this delicacy? 😉

At the media preview of the Yu Pin Zhen Bird’s Nest, we had the pleasure to enjoy many variations of Birds Nest dishes and I was so wowed by the Chef Simon Lee from Citrus restaurant specially flown in from M’sia to prepare the dishes. The taste of the Yu Pin Zhen birds nest is neither too sweet nor bland, and makes for a great after dinner healthy dessert. Each bowl costs $28 (Free delivery), call 6842 1142 to order. Better hurry if you want to order, ahead of the Public Holidays! 😉

Chef Lee, brains behind the amazing Birds Nest dishes.

Order more to enjoy a lower rate. 😉

3. Enjoy Jap & Thai Cuisine In a Relaxed & Artistic Atmosphere at Mad Nest

Mad Nest has recently concluded their last exhibition “What She Gave To Me”, a nostalgic exhibition about what Nature has given to us. I had the pleasure to be there to enjoy some fine sushi and the artworks. Located at 378/380 East Coast Road, check them out with your friends for dinner and enjoy drinks at the bar after. Their kitchens are closed for CNY but their bar will be open. For more info., visit their FB page.

4. Indulge with Italian Wines from The Wine Creek

Festive & happy occasions calls for a toast, right? Why not order a dozen of wines from The Wine Creek to celebrate the Chinese New Year with your family? Plus you can always keep them if you can’t finish in one seating. 😉 I recommend the Furlan ($30/btl) if you’re a fan of Proseccos, sweet Italian white wines, like I am. For sweet reds, try Mignanego, I call this the alcoholic Ribena, lol. Turns out, my family and friends also really love the sweet white from Miganego (orange btl below) and they’re both only $15/btl. Free delivery for 1 dozen and above! Call/sms/whatsapp to +65 83186992 (Lionel) for your orders.

Should I be writing a post on how to minimize weight gain during Chinese New Year? 😛

I’ll be having 2 more Chinese New Year fashion & beauty related posts coming right up… Keep a look out for them! 😉

How To Plan For a Romantic Date

February 16, 2015 Ena Teo Leave a comment

Hi Loves!

Valentines Day may just be behind us, but that’s no reason for you to stop being romantic in your relationship, right? Well, so even though this post didn’t come in time for Valentines Day 2015 unlike my previous post, you can no doubt still use these ideas & tips for your love one’s birthday, special anniversary day or #monthsary! 😉

1. Bond Over Good Food at So Sofitel

I personally believe that good food is essential in a relationship. Everyone needs to eat and humans bond over food. So what better way to express your love for your partner then to bring him/her to a special dinner? So Sofitel’s Resident Culinary Designer Anne-Cecile Degenne impressed both our palate and eyes at the 3 course (pre) Valentines Day Dinner media tasting. I was surprised with the fresh crab meat paired with the refreshing cucumber and ginger sorbet. I would love to have the sorbet again! The grilled beef tenderloin was excellent too, cooked just nice and tender. While I would usually have trouble chewing on steaks which are cooked too dry & tough, this steak wasn’t an issue at all. We were all impressed with the sharing dessert which came in a decadent chocolate and raspberry combination and of course I couldn’t resist a photo with it, hehe. Visit their site here or call for more information and bookings.

If your partner and you are Spa lovers, why not complete the date with a therapeutic getaway at So SPA by Sofitel’s in Sentosa? With it, you and your sweetheart can enjoy a 2+hours long session with Neem Body Polish, Bath for 2, So Abhyanga Massage at their Private Couple Spa Suite with complimentary champagne & canepe, full Usage of the outdoor spa gardens, mud pool and more at $528++ per couple. This promotion is valid until 28 Feb 2015. You can call & reserve via (65) 6371 1288.

2. Fall Sweeter In Love with Mad About Sucre Cakes

As a general rule, girls like sweet things; chocolates, ice cream, cakes, oh yes, cakes. There’s just something special about sweet, soft cakes. My friends over at Mad About Sucre have recently opened their cakery at 27 Teo Hong Road (walking distance from Outram MRT) and their cakes are sophisticated and a delight to our palates. I am particularly in love with their Burnt Caramel topped with Himalayan Salt Cake which is soft, sweet and simply amazing. My next favourite is their Passion Fruit Cheese Cake which is sweet, citrusy with a tinge of cheese. Chocolate lovers can find delight in their Red Cherry & Mexican Cocoa Cake as well as their decadent Rum infused Chocolate & Banana Cake. Enjoy a cake and a tea or coffee here, let the sweet tastes of the cake mingle in your mouth and linger on through the night. Or if you’re feeling adventurous, you might also fancy their Lemon & Coconut Tart. Priced at $9.80-$11.80, visit them after your dinner date as they’re open from 12.30-10.30pm, Mondays off.

3. Capture the Memories with Sony’s Selfie Cam DSC-KW11

Time flies, you and I know this well. There’s perhaps little more thoughtful then to capture and compile beautiful memories into scrapbooks or keepsakes for your special someone. With Sony’s Cyber-shot^TM DSC-KW11 digital still camera, aka Selfie Cam KW11, you can capture these sweet memories on the go without having to photoshop (heh) and you can also easily transfer the photos to your mobile and share them to your social media platforms! Check out these photos I took while at their recent media launch event held at Goodwood Park’s Rose Marie Suite. The group shots aka #groupfies are the ones taken by the KW11, no editing required! 😉 The Cyber-shot^TM DSC-KW11 is available at all Sony Stores, Sony Centres, and selected Sony authorised dealers at a recommended price of $999.

That’s the end of my post, now you’re all set for a sweet date, good luck! :*

Ena

P.S. If you haven’t check out my post on Issey Miyake’s new Spring fragrance City Blossom and take part in the Instagram contest to stand a chance to win a perfume for yourself or your love one!
