I read a quote '<span style="color: #c27ba0;"><i>Give a woman the right lipstick and she can conquer the world</i></span>' somewhere before and I always thought how corny it sounds. I would never think I can conquer the world with right lipstick because I always want to improve the look of my monolid eyes more than anything else.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, duo-toned lipsticks have been gaining popularity especially in the korean cosmetic scenes and I personally feel it stems from the ombre lips creation. It's a good price to pay especially when you pay a price for 1 lipstick but you get 2 - 3 shades of lipstick, depending on how you apply and mix them. Today, I would like to introduce my new favourite duo lipstick from <b>Motives Cosmetics Double Take Lipstick Duo in Royally Red</b>.</div>

Here we have a deep brownish red shade on 1 side of the bullet and a metallic gold shade on the other. Formulated with sunflower seed oil, the lipstick duo feels smooth and comfortable on my lips and after wearing it for a full day, my lips did not dry up and chapped too.</div>

As you can see from the swatch below (which is only 1 swatch per shade), the shades are pigmented and smooth and upon layering (first shade on the right), this lipstick gives a different dimension altogether.</div>

In all honesty, I also embrace my imperfection such as the acne scars on my face and the laugh lines on my face. However, as a woman, it is in our humane instinct to just wish that we can look better than what we normally are. I am no exception too, being a vain pot too.<br />
<br />
As I celebrate more birthdays (haha), I noticed changes in my skin condition (especially when you look back at some of old pictures). Lines that used to be not so obvious seems to be more obvious and skin that is used to oilier is also not as oily now. Definitely a sign of aging...... haha.<br />
<br />
Many people are starting to go for specialised treatments such as botox and fillers to beautify on their skin condition but this is never something I would consider because I hate needles. Furthermore, each treatment is temporary and comes with hefty price tag. However, I'm glad to find a product that helps to 'fill' up lines without the need of needles. Woohooo!!<br />
<br />
Lumiere De Vie <a href="http://sg.shop.com/ALLYOURFAMILYNEEDS/Lumi+egrave+re+de+Vie+reg+Needle+Free+Serum-1212633918-p+.xhtml?credituser=C5234857" target="_blank">Needle-Free Serum</a> is light, concentrated serum that gives a tightening and hydrating effect to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The skin feels soft and smooth and looks firm after application of this serum. Best of all, this serum is suitable for us (me included) with sensitive skin as it can also help to soothe and calm sensitive skin.<br />
<br />
To try out the effect of Lumiere De Vie Needle Free Serum and prove that it can indeed reduce the appearance of lines, I tried it on the lines on hubby's forehead. Using only pea-sized of product and massaging into the lines on his forehead for a few minutes, I can see significant improvement where the lines look less obvious. Hubby feedback that he does not feel any discomfort (such as itch or stingy feeling) after application and his forehead also look more supple and firm.<br />

<span style="color: blue;"><i>Neodermyl® (Glycerin, Water, Methylglucoside Phosphate, Copper Lysinate/Prolinate) Neodermyl® is a novel skincare ingredient that is a combination of a glucose-based compound, amino acids and copper. This unique combination of components helps the skin to look firmer and more supple, while helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><i>Liftonin®-Xpress (Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose, Pullulan, Porphyridium cruentum Extract) Liftonin®-Xpress is a blend of polysaccharide-based, film-forming polymers and a red algae extract. This polymer matrix blend has been optimised to give a rapid and noticeable physical tightening effect. This tightening effect minimises the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for a smoother-looking complexion.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><i>Zanthalene® (Oleyl Alcohol, Zanthoxylum bungeanum Fruit Extract) Zanthalene® is an extract from the fruit husks of Zanthoxylum bungeanum, a perennial plant of Chinese origin that is widely used in Asia as a spice (Sichuan pepper). The unique properties of this extract help soothe the skin, while also temporarily reducing the appearance of wrinkles for smoother and softer-looking skin.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><i><br /></i></span>

Do you have lines concern that you have been wondering how to tackle it?

I know I am and I know I need minimum 1 cup of coffee per day to stay sane at time, hahaha. Any type of coffee works for me. Latte, long black, cappuccino, flat white, kopi-o, kopi-c, AS LONG AS it's not 3-in-1. In my opinion, 3-in-1 is the worst type of coffee ever because the amount of sugar and creamer in that small sachet spoils the real taste of coffee.<br />
<br />
The best coffee I tried so far is in Australia. Trust me when I say you can walk to ANY place in Australia and you can get GOOD coffee. Even the coffee is my office in Australia disperse coffee that is way better than the coffee we get in Starbuck, TCC etc etc. But guess what, just as I was scrolling through my photo album to find pictures of the nice coffees I tried so far, I realise I did not take any pictures of the fantastic coffees I had in Australia!!! OMG...... this is crap.<br />
<br />
Anyways, there are some of the coffee pictures that I would like to share in this posting just to prove my point of a coffee addict. Haha.<br />

Motives Pressed Blush in Dreamsicle is a warm toned peach blush that comes with a satin finish. I personally like orange and peach tone blush because my cheeks get flushed very easily so I always find pink toned blush just makes my cheeks look redder.<br />

The pigmentation of the blush is impressive as I just need a gentle tap of my brush on the product and I can already see pigments being pick up on the brush. So I suggest for you ladies who are keen to try this product to go easy on the application and build up the pigmentation to your desired state.<br />
<br />
So, as usual, I like to compare swatches of this new product to my existing stash and also take a look at how different the swatch of Dreamsicle looks like as compared to other products. I managed to dig out other blushes that I think look close enough to be compared and they are:-<br />
<br />
1) Dior My Lady 007<br />
2) THREE 24 Into The Ather<br />
3) Benefit Sugarbomb<br />
4) MAC Springsheen<br />
5) Motives Dreamsicle<br />

<br />
From the swatches above, you can tell how the blushes look different when swatched. During swatching, I found THREE to be the blush that is most difficult to pick up the pigment and this is no surprise considering Japanese cosmetics tend to lean on the 'natural and almost non existent shade'. Benefit and MAC has the same satin finish as Motives Dreamsicle but the pigment look lighter. Dior, on the other hand is a matte finish blush but would look closer in terms of the colour.<br />
<br />
Retailing at $29 for 4g of product, you will get a blush that is paraben, fragrance and oil free.

It's Motives Collagen Core Lipstick in Motivated.<div>

The main benefit of Motives Collagen Core Lipstick is that it doubles up as a lip treatment in addition to being a lipstick. With hydrolysed collagen in the collagen core, it works with elastin in the skin to diminish fine lines and wrinkles. It also aids in the binding and retaining of water, which helps to moisturised and plump the lips. With Motives Collagen Core Lipstick, my lips feel comfortable even though I did not apply my usual lip balm before application. I also do not experience any flaking on my lips during the day.</div>

Motivated is a mauve plum shade which I love very much. Do not be afraid to look goth after applying this shade because I can assure you that it doesn't. It gives my lips a tinge of plum pinkish tone that helps to brighten up my look.</div>

As for weekends, I also find it a chore to cook and wash up (basically, I am just lazy, haha). When I saw some of my colleagues buying electric lunch box and cooking simple lunches in office, I was seriously intrigued by how simple it is to cook a meal that is healthy and delicious so here I am jumping on the bandwagon to cooking with electric lunchbox!<br />
<br />
I opt for the bigger capacity with the option of single or double tier. It's always a good idea to have the flexibility of expansion :)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdYA0_MpKxnCAK9a5FDI8HC3NQRhw4Rr1Uqf2jXj4nPH1jnJJpx-ucJSqxB0z3ZbeRVZ4lOfiEMrP_KQHAPITmKw25aqDSLKiQ8f-A4R2ADRIc3H0VswLFLEHWfowtGw6y7XNiIWNDnGb-/s1600/IMG_8324.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdYA0_MpKxnCAK9a5FDI8HC3NQRhw4Rr1Uqf2jXj4nPH1jnJJpx-ucJSqxB0z3ZbeRVZ4lOfiEMrP_KQHAPITmKw25aqDSLKiQ8f-A4R2ADRIc3H0VswLFLEHWfowtGw6y7XNiIWNDnGb-/s640/IMG_8324.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
So here you can see that it basically comes with 2 bowls. 1 slightly bigger suitable to cook soups, porridge, stews etc and a smaller bowl that u can use to steam smaller items or even rice for a single portion.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIqUneqELCGIAfV__mjAAjIoJRoVzhmgvlKqcrdXf1KKRyc0uuA8ZxoAjELMyGAQdmuT6emSXUBg9gmxn-AOQNDohNSn5NydrAJAYFT2aJcKPIVPT7EXAwcSlfJ29a0eBcqQoaaLpGJ7vC/s1600/IMG_8321.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIqUneqELCGIAfV__mjAAjIoJRoVzhmgvlKqcrdXf1KKRyc0uuA8ZxoAjELMyGAQdmuT6emSXUBg9gmxn-AOQNDohNSn5NydrAJAYFT2aJcKPIVPT7EXAwcSlfJ29a0eBcqQoaaLpGJ7vC/s640/IMG_8321.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
The concept behind the electric lunch box is basically steaming. All you need to do is pour water (I usually use hot water) at the lowest compartment of the lunch box and it will create steam to cook the raw food ingredients. Yes, your ingredients can be raw and the steam will cook it till it's fully cooked! In general, I noticed that 20 - 30 mins is all it takes to fully cook the ingredients. For soups (especially if I want it to be more flavourful, I will cook up to an hour. As long as there is water in the lower compartment, it will continue to steam and cook. So during the times when I am cooking a dish for longer period of time, I either add more water at the beginning of the process or add water after a while to keep the electric lunch box cooking.<br />
<br />
Here are some of the dishes I have tried in office. They are all simple, one dish items.<br />

<br />
You can see from the dishes I tried above that it's simple to use this electric lunch box. Just need to exercise some creativity on what you want to cook for the day.<br />
<br />
I ordered my electric lunch box from Qoo10 previously at around $20+ and it is a product made in China. You can use a travel adaptor for this lunch box as the original plug will be China plug. I have been using the cooking regularly for close to a year and is still working well.<br />
<br />
For readers out there who find cooking to be a chore, this is something that you can consider to start simple healthy cooking. :)<br />

Even though I work and sleep in air-conditioned room everyday, I am not someone who lather on body care products often because I dislike the sticky, uncomfortable feeling of applying. However, having said that, I still using body care products and today I would like to share some of the body care products that I use.<br />
<br />
Just to share my personal preference on choices of body care products. I always prefer something that is light in texture with mild scent. Not only will I not have the uncomfortable sticky feeling, I like having something lightly scented on my body for that 'fresh out of shower' smell.<br />
<br />
Below are the body care products that I am currently using:-<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;">1) DNA Miracles Natural Hydrating Baby Lotion</span><br />
<span style="color: blue;">2) Jo Malone English Pear & Freesia Body Cream</span><br />
<span style="color: blue;">3) Kiehl's Superbly Restorative Argan Body Lotion</span><br />

<br />
<b><u>DNA Miracles Natural Hydrating Baby Lotion</u></b><br />
<br />
Yes, I know this body lotion is for babies but what is stopping adults from using them? NOTHING, haha. I have always like baby lotions because they are usually the lightest in texture with the gentlest ingredients that can be applied on babies' skin. I have to say I reach out for this lotion more often than the other 2 because of the light texture. It is easily absorbed into my skin, providing the hydration I required on dry areas. There was once I had slight rashes on my arms after CNY spring cleaning and DNA Miracles Natural Hydrating Baby Lotion helps to sooth my skin after application. The combination of glycerin, willow herb flower / leaf/ steam extract, pathenol, aloe leaf juice and sodium hyaluronate make this product a wonderful body lotion for everyday application. With a mild sweet scent, DNA Miracles Natural Hydrating Baby Lotion does make me feel a child!<br />

<br />
<b><u>Jo Malone English Pear & Freesia Body Cream</u></b><br />
<br />
I bought this body cream plainly because I am a fan of Jo Malone English Pear & Freesia Cologne and it would be a great item for me to lay my scent when I would like my scent to stay longer. Being a body cream, Jo Malone English Pear & Freesia Body Cream comes in a luxurious glass pot and you scoop out the cream using your fingers (that's me) or a spatula. Despite me buying this previously to layer my scent, I ended up using this product at night, just before bed. I like how the scent relaxes me after long, stressful hours in offices. The texture is creamer than lotion and does makes me feel there is a thin layer of cream on the surface of the skin.<br />
<br />
This product is available over Jo Malone boutiques in Singapore but I previously purchased mine over Saks Fifth Avenue at USD 75 for 5.9 oz (approx 167g) of product.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Kiehl's Superbly Restorative Argan Body Lotion</u></b><br />
<br />
Ok, I have to say this. Kiehl's Superbly Restorative Argan Body Lotion is the product that I have hardly used. Despite being named as 'body lotion', the texture is the thickest among the 3 making me feel very sticky after application. I guess it will worked well for individuals with badly chapped skin. The scent is also the strongest among the 3, which is the reason why I touches it the least now. The key ingredient in Kiehl's Superbly Restorative Argan Body Lotion is Argan Oil and Argan leaf extract which is a very popular ingredient in a lot of products to provide hydration.<br />
<br />

For me, it would be base (primer, foundation), blush and lipstick. The reason is because I usually do not have the time to do much eye make up when I rush out for work so I just want very basic products to even out the uneven skin tone on my face and then brighten it up so that I do not look tired or 'dead'. Blushes and lipsticks are especially easier to pick up because they are usually affordable and small. We can always come up with 100001 excuses why we need that extra blush or lipstick. Today, I would like to share my new blush love. It's none other than Motives Mineral Pressed Blush in Empress.<br />

The packaging is basic and no frill. Housed in a plastic round case with clear plastic cover, the packaging is as simple as it can be. (Sorry for the sorry state of the blush but you can see how much I have been using it just by looking at the picture).<br />
<br />
Motives Mineral Pressed Blush in Empress is a nice warm pink shade with gold shimmers. I totally love it. A little goes a long way as this blush is pretty pigmented and the pigments get picked up very easily by the brush.<br />

I know warm pink shades are usually my go-to blush shade so I decide to compare it against my long time favourite, MAC blush in Springsheen. So glad to see that the colours are no where close. Springsheen is more peachy than pink and the gold tone in Springsheen is also stronger than Empress.<br />

At only S$28 for 4gram of product, I say Motives Mineral Pressed Blush in Empress is a good buy, not only in terms of price but also quality. For ladies concerned with ingredients in the products that they are using, you will be glad to know this blush is paraben and talc free.<br />
<br />
In case you wonder where and how you can purchase Motives products, you can purchase Motives products at <a href="http://www.allyourfamilyneeds.sg/">www.allyourfamilyneeds.sg</a> (residing in Singapore) or <a href="http://www.allyourfamilyneeds.com/">www.allyourfamilyneeds.com</a> (any countries other than Singapore).Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12539830982871156350noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2382246584628029871.post-39819338469056037452016-02-12T17:31:00.004+08:002016-02-15T13:15:41.457+08:00How to switch your skincare productsHi all, it has really been a while and I apologize for the lack of updates in this small space of mine. Life just catches up with us and we have other priorities that we need to attend to. I would certainly continue to update this humble blog of mine and would appreciate your patience with this.<br />
<br />
Today I would like to share my personal experience on switching skincare products. Some people out there are not as lucky as others who have zero issues switching their skincare products just like that. Unfortunately for me, I fall into the 'unlucky' category whereby issues will always surface whenever I switch skincare. So you would say 'Why switch then?'. Well, there could be reasons..... Because we heard good feedbacks from our friends, we were fascinated by the advertisements on TV and the list goes on..... So how do we do it then?<br />

<br />
<b><span style="color: blue;"><u>1) Know yourself (and your skin)</u></span></b><br />
Nothing beats knowing yourself and your skin, especially ingredients that you have reacted adversely towards to previously. Skin does change over time and especially as we age. My skin now reacts differently to products as compared to 10 years ago and products that I have tried previously that gave me severe breakouts instead worked wonders for me now. However, as a precaution, you can always start with a patch test first.<br />
<br />
<u><b><span style="color: blue;">2) Plan ahead</span></b></u><br />
My skin can be sensitive at times so I always plan ahead when I have the intention to switch products. You might ask "Ruby, what do you mean by planning ahead?'. My suggestion is always to start baby steps in switching over to new products while you are still on the existing skincare regime and products. I always start trying out new products while I still has 1/4 of the existing products. A suggestion could be this:-<br />
<br />
<b>Week 1 (Trying new products only on alternate evenings)</b><br />
- Morning: Existing products<br />
- Evening: New products (alternate evenings only)<br />
<br />
<b>Week 2 (Trying new products every evening)</b><br />
- Morning: Existing products<br />
- Evening: New products<br />
<br />
<b>Week 3 (Using new products alternate mornings, and every evenings)</b><br />
<br />
<b>Week 4 (You can fully switch over to new products)</b><br />
<br />
For ladies who have extremely sensitive skin, you have to start gradual and be patient. My sister who has extremely sensitive skin, tried this method and thank goodness was able to switch over to new skincare regime and products.<br />
<br />
<u><b><span style="color: blue;">3) It's normal to have breakouts?</span></b></u><br />
I used to stop continuing with the new products the moment I see pimples popping out within the first few days. I started to recognise that this is the way my skin goes through the detoxification process. This is no difference from you feeling lethargic when you start on a juice cleanse or detox program. However, should the breakouts be extremely red and fierce after 1 - 2 weeks, the new products might not be for you.<br />
<br />
<u><b><span style="color: blue;">4) Be patient</span></b></u><br />
I usually do not switch over an entire new skincare regime just like that. My personal preference is to switch product by product. This is also because my products do not all run out at the same time. By switching over product by product, it will also be easier for you to identify which products work or not work for you.<br />
<br />
<b><u><span style="color: blue;">5) Drink more water</span></u></b><br />
Healthy skin always start with proper lifestyle. Drinking sufficient water help the body to flush out toxins and keep our skin hydrated.<br />
<br />
The above pointers are tried by me personally and I certain hope that it can help other individuals. However, do note that results will varies from individual and ultimately you know yourself best. :)Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12539830982871156350noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2382246584628029871.post-40752217129873479562015-10-14T17:55:00.000+08:002015-10-14T17:55:47.142+08:00Topshop Singapore<br />
Popular British multi-national fashion retailer, Topshop has been a popular brand that I will always go to because I really love the petite range that they offers to short girls like me. We are always spoilt for selection because of the wide range of selection offered from casual (flattering jeans and jackets) to formal (blazers and dresses) and not forgetting accessories that we can pair with our outfit.<br />
<br />
We used to need to visit a brick and mortar store in order for us to purchase our favourite pieces from <a href="http://www.zalora.sg/topshop/" target="_blank">Topshop Singapore</a> but it's no longer the case now. Log into the internet, shop at the comfort of your home and just wait for the delivery to be made to you. :)<br />

This sleeveless belted coat is definitely a keeper. I do not recall seeing many such pieces. If you think you can buy only clothings online, think again..... Check out the bags and shoes! Always love pairing boots with my outfit especially when I travel.<br />

I have always been an advocate for online shopping for the simple reason of CONVENIENCE. It's just too tiring to get out of there, squeezing through the crowd, fighting for that item you want and in worst case scenario, getting there and not being able to buy what you want. With 30 days free returns and free delivery for purchases above $40, it's such an enjoyable shopping experience.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12539830982871156350noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2382246584628029871.post-11682793312525524312015-07-23T16:27:00.001+08:002015-07-23T16:27:53.840+08:00Soak in Korean Fashion with ZALORAI have always been a fan of J-Drama when I was a teenager and as the years go by, the K-entertainment industry has boomed out of nowhere creating a hype both in the entertainment and fashion industry.

It happen to be a blush that I have been thinking for a while but never got down to purchasing it. It is none other than Burberry Light Glow Blush in Blossom.<br />
<br />
I’m sure many beauty fanatics out there are very familiar with the buttery smooth texture of Burberry Beauty blushes and Blossom is no exception. Do you know that if you were to purchase Blossom blush now, it actually look more pinkish than the original one? Yes, this is true…….. The SA was telling me that the original Blossom blush looks more orangey while the new batch of Blossom look more pinkish. By looking at the tester Blossom blush at the counter vs the new Blossom blush, it certainly is the case. It would be nice if I am able to do the swatch compare side by side.<br />

Looking at the swatch of Blossom blush, it is a beautiful coral pink shade which is quite pigmented. A gentle tap of my MAC 129 brush on the pan and I already manage to pick up a fair bit of product. I didn’t even have to re-apply the blush on my cheeks to make it stand out stronger!<br />

<br />
For reference, I have included the swatches of my other Burberry Light Glow blushes in the swatch below. Missing in action is Earthly, which for some reason I forgot to include it in, haha. Blossom certainly looks like a lighter version of Coral Pink, in my opinion.<br />

<div>
At $61 per pan, Burberry Beauty blush are worthy investment in my opinion, both in terms of texture and quality/ Most beauty fanatics I know have at least a few of them. You can never stop at 1!</div>

I know of shoppers out there who are usually impatient and really want their items to be in their hands within the shortest possible time. You will be glad to know that most items are expected to be delivered to your door step within 1 - 3 working days! Furthermore, delivery is FREE as long as your purchase is above $40. With the 30 days free return period, you need not worry about purchasing the wrong or unsuitable items and wasting your money. Let's get ready to dress up for this Chinese New Year, shall we?? :)</div>

We are encourage to use circular motion to massage in Pentaxyl™ into our skin to allow the cream to be properly absorbed by the skin as well as promote blood circulation. I love the minty after-feel after applying Pentaxyl™!</div>

So you might be wondering now, what happen to me that made me love this product??? Let's take a look at my naked face taken in Dec 2014, shall we?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9FNOT94ClBa5VUZQYbZ48uZUd1raUHT72bTmojXRHnh4mHR2fDc5n4244A0boGNPhQHtDPPFOMeOIUxfVMxnDVs9Ct6zxziR1Ab4MoLzQ6xppJZ1g_YdKQpQ8BVyaAB-TQuHFwFMOMEIQ/s1600/pentaxyl+original+face.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9FNOT94ClBa5VUZQYbZ48uZUd1raUHT72bTmojXRHnh4mHR2fDc5n4244A0boGNPhQHtDPPFOMeOIUxfVMxnDVs9Ct6zxziR1Ab4MoLzQ6xppJZ1g_YdKQpQ8BVyaAB-TQuHFwFMOMEIQ/s1600/pentaxyl+original+face.JPG" height="640" width="474" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
You can see from the picture above that I have deep laugh line on the right side of my face. And for whatever reason, it is more obvious and deeper than my left face. So I decided to try Pentaxyl™ on my right laugh line, and massaging any residue into the rest of the face.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I kept to my usual skincare routine of cleansing, toning and moisturising. Without changing any products in my skincare regime, I only added Pentaxyl™ to apply after the toner and before moisturiser. As a start, I experience a few pimples popping out but they went off after a week and I haven't had any breakouts after which. I interpreted this as my skin trying to get used to the new product.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Even though it is encouraged to use Pentaxyl™ for both day and night, I decided to just stick with applying Pentaxyl™ during the night for my skin to get more norishment and repair through the night.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Honestly it did not occur to me to see obvious effects as I believe skincare products always need time to work their magic. But yesterday I noticed my laugh lines on the right face seem to be looking lighter and quickly asked my hubby for confirmation. He agreed!!! I decided to take a picture again and do a side by side comparison below.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNKxkMXkGQ9ImnyYo6fp3bNNMadn7blgctlAU3P2w0Rueg_wX03jORTp-hHgd39HLavIn7bNuOczmBzcfHGIUbCk5ZxAr58NWi-M-H8zPxcCnjOnCR4_C3mUDQQOZu4FX6fYyevCqWbxIY/s1600/pentaxyl+compare.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNKxkMXkGQ9ImnyYo6fp3bNNMadn7blgctlAU3P2w0Rueg_wX03jORTp-hHgd39HLavIn7bNuOczmBzcfHGIUbCk5ZxAr58NWi-M-H8zPxcCnjOnCR4_C3mUDQQOZu4FX6fYyevCqWbxIY/s1600/pentaxyl+compare.JPG" height="640" width="640" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
From the picture above, I can see that my right laugh line is indeed lighter!!! I am really glad because I have been wondering what I can do to lighten these lines for the longest time, especially when I am getting older everyday. What makes me so convinced that Pentaxyl™ works is because the improvement can be seen over a period of 1 month and me only applying it during the night (instead of both day and night).</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In case you are wondering Pentaxyl™ must be super expensive to be effective, you will be pleasantly surprised that it is only $106.75 for 118ml. This is totally affordable in today's market considering the price of another similar product from Strivectin-SD is already double!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I purchased this wonderful product from this <a href="http://sg.shop.com/allyourfamilyneeds" target="_blank">site</a>, which you can go check it out. However, should you want to be a money savvy shopper to get some cashback from your purchase, do drop me a comment with your email address.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
You have finally reach the end of my review post and I hope Pentaxyl™ is able to help you like how it helped me!</div>

I still recall during my teens, ESPRIT and Levi's were the 'in' brands because they are internationally recognised apparel companies. Over the years, we see more and more of such companies entering the shore of Singapore such as GAP, H&M etc. This has certainly bring Singapore's fashion industry to the next level and at the same time stimulating local companies and designers to bring local names to the higher heights.<br />
<br />
Today, I am very excited to share that another internationally known brand has reached the shore of Singapore and that is none other than <a href="http://www.zalora.sg/american-apparel/" target="_blank">American Apparel</a> on ZALORA! I still recall the last time I had to purchase American Apparel by participating in a spree which is totally unnecessary now. Woohoo!!!!!<br />
<br />
American Apparel is an american apparel manufacturer, distributor and retailer based in Los Angeles, California. They offer a wide variety of men and women apparel, ranging from casual to formal. Most importantly, the prices are affordable which is good news for our pockets!<br />

<br />
For fans of American Apparel, you will be glad to know that some of your favourite items could be on sale now. Do we need more reason why we need to make that purchase already? :)<br />
<br />
I'm really glad that American Apparel is available on ZALORA which makes shopping so much easier and fuss-free for consumers in Singapore. All you need to do is to sit in front of your computer, click and add items to your shopping cart and delivery will be made to your indicated address for free as long as your purchase is above $40. Worry that the item does not fit you? No worries because return / exchange is made fuss-free for you via ZALORA store at ION Orchard (service available until 28 February 2015), or via Singpost counters or POPStations. So go on and shop again during this Christmas Season!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12539830982871156350noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2382246584628029871.post-64052117432075767762014-10-13T12:44:00.000+08:002014-10-13T12:44:28.076+08:00ZALORA Online MagazineI still remember during my teens that I love reading Teens magazines and I would save my pocket money to get them regularly. As the years passed, my magazines preference have evolved to CLEO, Her World for the latest makeup tips and fashion trends. The only problem I had with this reading habit is STORAGE. I find it wasteful to throw them away but at the same time, these magazines were occupying the limited space I had when I was still staying with my parents.<br />
<br />
With the evolution of technology, everything went "E". Ebooks, Emagazines, u name it, we have it, all conveniently accessible with internet, computers or tablets. Even companies are differentiating and diversifying to include <a href="http://www.zalora.sg/magazine/" target="_blank">online fashion magazine</a> to keep a regular pool of customers and followers. Many of you would know ZALORA as a online shopping heaven but do you also know there is ZALORA Magazine well? I actually don't too,but now I do, hehe.<br />
<br />
Ranging from the latest fashion trends for women and men to special highlight to specific brands, it's an interesting concise way of knowing that latest 'in' trend without wordy paragraphs. If you would like to get an item that is presented on ZALORA online magazine, you will be happy to know you can purchase it directly over their website, super convenient!!<br />

I am honestly not sure if this is indeed true since I never had the habit of weighing myself, but I certainly hope so. One day, I was hoping to arrange for a much-delayed meet up with a friend and she told me she is on a juice cleanse plan so we have to postpone again. I got curious about this juice cleanse and asked for more details and that's how she recommended <a href="http://www.beauty-cleanse.com/" target="_blank">Beauty Cleanse</a> to me.<br />
<br />
I went onto Beauty Cleanse website to find out more about this company and thought they look pretty decent. Cold pressed organic juices and they interestingly comes with supplements. Since my friend do get some perks from referring cleansing plans to friends and I also get to use her customer no. for discount, I decided to give it a try. I chose '<a href="http://www.beauty-cleanse.com/skinny-genes-2/" target="_blank">Skinny Genes</a>' from their 4 juice cleanse plans (Skinny Genes, Skinny Genes Set B, Beauty Boost and Bride-Me-Up).<br />
<br />
Upon placing order on their online store for a 5 days cleanse plan (it is just 4 days cleanse for me as my hubby cleanse with me on 1 of the days), I received emails from the Beauty Cleanse team on pre-cleanse guidelines, daily routine summary and colostrum (1 of the supplement included) guidelines. The pre-cleanse guidelines are extremely helpful for newbies like me in preparing for the upcoming juice cleanse as it helps in preventing detox symptoms such as headaches and all and also tips on what you can do during the juice cleanse.<br />
<br />
My juices finally arrived on Day 1 morning! I got a cute cooler bag big enough to store 6 bottles of juice (1 day worth of juices) so you can do your cleanse wherever you go. The Beauty Cleanse team are super thoughtful to also include cheat sheets, in the event that you seriously seriously cannot survive on juices alone. <br />

You will notice that the type of juices provided in the cleanse plan are not exactly stated on the website so I was very curious on what I have. The juices look colourful and you can see from the label on each bottle to know what are the ingredients per juice. In a day, you get a nice mix of fruity, greens and nut milk juices, which makes it less scary to people who have phobia especially to green juices.<br />

<br />
Since no preservatives are added to the juices, you will have to consume the juices by the date stated on the bottle as well. Just so you know, these juices are to be consumed within 3 days, as such for customers who purchased the 5 days cleanse plan, you will first get the first 3 days juices on the first delivery and the remaining 2 days juices on the 3rd day of your juice plan.<br />
<br />
Upon receiving them, me and hubby got excited and immediately started on our 1st juice of the day. We followed the guidelines closely by starting the day on an empty stomach with warm lemon water followed by juice mixed with colostrum powder and other supplements that are part of the cleanse plan. You might be wondering what is this colostrum powder for? This white powder is basically the agent that helps you expel out the toxins in your body. Upon adding it to the juice, it does not alter the taste of the juices at all so you do not need to worry about it.<br />
<br />
Here are my progress during the juice cleanse................<br />
<br />
<b><u><span style="color: blue;">Day 1</span></u></b><br />
Me and hubby basically did nothing at home but watch TV while doing our juice cleanse. Honestly, the cravings can be pretty hard to bear. We do not feel hungry with the juices at all as we are constantly drinking juices every 2 hours, with water or herbal teas in between the juices. I would say the correct term to describe how we feel is 'unfull' as you will not experience the satisfying feel after a good meal but at the same time, you do not feel hungry too. We did cheat by munching on some raw nuts in between the juices, which helps to fill the stomach slightly.<br />
<br />
Hubby was experiencing detox symptoms with slight headaches and also going to the toilet more often to clear his bowels. We are reminded to drink more water so that we stay hydrated. For myself, I do not have to go the toilet as often as hubby (as I always knew my body is less reactive towards detox as compared to my hubby) and was feeling very sleepy with a neck ache. The napping on and off helps me in a way to not think about food too. Haha.<br />
<br />
<b><u><span style="color: blue;">Day 2</span></u></b><br />
It was a rest day for me because my next round of juices will only come on end of day 3. However, I tried to keep my diet as clean as possible with light soupy stuffs. Hubby got a horrifying day on Day 2 as he was experiencing post detox symptoms after Day 1. He started his morning with an intensive weights workout in the morning and upon reaching office, started to experience nauseous-ness and extreme headache. After vomiting for 3 times, he had to see a doctor. I contacted the friendly Beauty Cleanse team about this with the thinking that the calories from the juice might be too low for a man thus resulting in this. The consultant, Boon called me back quickly to find out more details on what my hubby did before, during and after the 1 day cleanse. He explained to me that my hubby's body actually went into a shock as it was detoxing just a day before so it need a day or 2 to slowly tune back to norm. However, he did assured me that he is definitely detoxing better than me as he experience stronger detoxing symptoms such as headaches and going to the toilet more often. He advised for me to double the dosage of colostrum powder in my morning juice to get more detoxification effect. <br />
<br />
<b><u><span style="color: blue;">Day 3</span></u></b><br />
I doubled my dosage of colostrum powder from 1 tablespoon to 2 and I certainly went to the toilet more often. By the end of the day, I was literally peeing from my ass (sorry to sound gross but I just want to share how effectively this detoxification effect was). I was working in an air-conditioned office the whole day, I also felt colder than usual after drinking the juices too. So I drank mainly warm water in between the juices and also took out the juices from the refrigerator 30 mins before drinking so that the juice will not be so cold. I actually don't crave for food as much as compared to Day 1 and with work, it also helps to take my mind of food too.<br />
<br />
My favourite would be the nut milk to be drank before sleep. Boon mentioned that I could warm it up before drinking as a change from the cold juices throughout the day. The warm nut milk certainly warm my stomach and gave me a very comforting feeling.<br />
<br />
<u><b><span style="color: blue;">Day 4</span></b></u><br />
The first thing I did before doing anything else after I woke up was to weigh myself. I noticed that I lost a kg!!! Even though, it was a kg only, it was certainly a motivation for me to continue with this juice cleanse. I also noticed that my neck ache is gone and I sleep better during the night (I have not been able to sleep well throughout the night for a few weeks).<br />

<br />
<b><u><span style="color: blue;">Day 5</span></u></b><br />
I cannot believe how fast this cleanse juice was and I am already at the last day mark. I was starting to enjoy the convenience and taste of the juices. I am still detoxing by going to the toilet as often but not as much as compared to Day 3.<br />
<br />
By the end of the juice cleanse, I lost <u><b>2 kg</b></u> in total. Even though, it was only 2 kg, I felt my appetite shrinking and I tend to eat lesser and definitely more carefully as compared to before. I also felt more energetic and less lethargic at work as I was able to sleep better at night. If you ask me what do I think of Beauty Cleanse's Juice Cleanse, I would certainly say it is effective for me and I would definitely do a cleanse a month later.<br />
<br />
One thing to note after completing the cleanse is to not go into a celebratory mode and start eating like no tomorrow. We should try to avoid red meats or dairy products for the next 3 days. White meats, sashimi (Yums!), fruits and vegetables are strongly encouraged. This will allow your body to slowly revert back to a non juice mode.<br />
<br />
I have to add that the customer service of Beauty Cleanse is superb. I received emails before and during the juice cleanse which helps me to manage this program better. Boon also watsapp / call to check on my progress on the cleanse and makes me feel comfortable knowing that if I need help or advice, Beauty Cleanse is just a phone call away. <br />
<br />
Although starting a juice cleanse like what I went through is not exactly cheap, but I say it is worth every single penny. I was lucky to have a friend who shared her customer number with me to get a 10% discount. In return, I would also like to share my discount with friends and readers out there who is keen to start on a Juice Cleanse with Beauty Cleanse. Just drop me an email at rchk79@gmail.com expressing your interest and asking for the discount code and I will revert to you ASAP for you to experience the benefit of this juice cleanse.<br />

As I have been away for 2 back-to-back business trip in Australia and Shanghai, I have not been able to golf as I should. But I promise I will blog about my extension trip in Melbourne because I absolutely love that place!<br />
<br />
Today I am sharing my views on Guerlain KissKiss lipsticks in 343 and 367 which I managed to haul from Shanghai duty-free on my way back home.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I have to admit that the classy glossy black and gold case really attracts me so! I had a hard time deciding the shades I wanted because the formula is just sooooo smooth. Thank goodness I checked in earlier so time is indeed on my side. Eventually, I decided on a sweet bright shade of 343 and a super safe and neutral shade of 367.<br />

343 is my favourite between the 2 shades I purchased and it even receive compliments from my man (he hardly comment much about my makeup, haha). Guerlain KissKiss lipsticks is so creamy and it doesn't cause dryness to my lips, which is a super plus for me. Soooo glad I managed to haul it!<br />

Housed in the signature gunmetal magnetic lipstick case, the only difference between the Lip Glow Balm and their lipstick is the shade of the product. It looks more flat and less angular as compared to normal lipstick. However, you definitely cannot miss out the Burberry signature checkered design.<br />

Orange Poppy, as the name indicate is a bright orange shade but swatches so sheer due to it's balmy texture. You don't feel like you are wearing a lipstick at all. It gives a 'almost your lips but better lips' with the glossy sheen but pigmentation is definitely on the downside considering it is a balm than lipstick. I can't help but compare Burberry Lip Glow Balm to Chanel Rouge Coco Shine and YSL Rouge Volupte Shine.<br />

I would say Burberry Lip Glow Balm is more suitable for that 'barely make up day' so if you are someone who prefers stronger lip colour, it will be good news for your wallet.<br />
<br />
I purchased the Burberry Lip Glow balm over Nordstrom at USD28. You will be glad to know they are available over our Singapore counters, so do check out in person and decide for yourself if you should grab them. :)Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12539830982871156350noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2382246584628029871.post-89128223861332630352014-07-14T10:30:00.000+08:002014-07-14T10:38:32.307+08:00Can't stop shopping with ZALORA!How have you all been with all these GSS sales and madness?

It's summer (then again, isn't it always summer in Singapore, what am I talking about??? Haha) and for some reasons I am not really in the mood for pants as I somehow feels hot in them. This skirt from MDSCollection just catch my eye with the unique design!<br />

I don't think I have any top to go with this (excuse, excuse, excuses!) and guess what, I found a nice scallop hem top which I think can go with this midi skirt! Yes, it's black...... I personally don't mind wearing black all over, especially in this case whereby there are designs at the ends of the skirt.<br />

Ok, outfit done!!! But but but, I sooo want a pair of new heels to go with it!!!!! Hmmmmm. I want something that is flexible enough for me to wear for weekends and work and I want something brighter than my usual boring black heels. I found this gorgeous blue platform heels from ADEL, totally love at first sight and platform heels is so much more comfortable to wear.<br />

Honestly, I cannot believe how long I took to fall in love with Dior Summer 2014 (Transat Edition) eyeshadow in Pavillon.<br />
<br />
Lately I have been going 'naked' on my eye makeup due to the morning rush so if I intend to do any eye makeup, my preference is to go simple with just a shade of eyeshadow and eyeliner. Pavillon came at a good time when I am looking for a nice, peach golden shade.<br />

The intertwined tweed pattern on the pan looks so pretty that I can't bear to destroy it.<br />

<br />
Ain't the shade gorgeous? Pavillon carries the right amount of peach tone that does makes my monolids puffy and the metallic golden tone looks so safe and subtle without looking too dramatic. If you like your shade to stand out stronger, just apply Pavillon with a wet brush. Texture is smooth and making it a breeze to pick up and apply the pigment on the lids.<br />

Dior Summer mono eyeshadow does not come cheap at $50 for only 2.2oz of product but the quality and shade of Pavillon eyeshadow more than justify the price tag.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12539830982871156350noreply@blogger.com3
