Myblackshop Slimming Soap Review

Sunday, October 26, 2014
How many of you girls here wish to slim down/tone up but are too lazy to do anything about it? I guess it's no surprise that I'm one of the girls that are like that. People who know me would know that aside from being a lazy person, I don't like perspiring which is why I don't usually exercise. Even when I do, it's at a gym because they have air conditioning there.

While many of you can say that I'm already slim, I am not toned. I used to be a gymnast, and I used to have defined muscles on my legs, arms, and abs. It's been about 5 years since I've stopped, and I've not picked up any form of exercise since then, and the muscles are turning into fats T_T. I can hide fats well for the most parts, but with my obsession with cropped tops and high-waisted shorts, I can't hide it for long.

So it's almost a godsend when myblackshop offered me their slimming soap to review. Slim down without effort? SIGN ME UP!!

Besides their Slimming Soap, they also have a Bust-Up soap (which is going at 10% off for October in conjunction with Breast Cancer Awareness) but I'll be reviewing the Slimming Soap today. The first thing I made sure to check out was the ingredients of the soap. I didn't want to be using something that's of unknown origins and might cause side effects, so I was very glad to know that the soaps are from Korea and their ingredients are all natural!

I liked that the soaps came in 3 small bars because I hate using large soap bars. Plus, it's easier to bring out (I put one bar at B's) as well as finish up. You can also get one pack to share with 2 other friends this way! (Or get the 3rd unopened bar to camwhore with like me here haha)

Initially, I gotta admit I was skeptical as to whether a soap like that, with such seemingly ordinary ingredients, would work... but I was sold when I did notice that my thigh gaps were further apart, and my shorts actually got slightly looser!! I made sure to try it out for a month before I wrote this so that I could be sure that it is really effective. Of course, that being said, it might not work on everybody, and might work better for some than for others.

For the soap itself, I loved the smell. It has a light floraly smell that I found really really pleasant. The smell lingers a while after the shower as well. I loved for the fact that despite this being a slimming/toning product, there wasn't that burning/stinging feeling!

I've never showed a picture of my bare torso before (at least not that I remember), but here it is after a few weeks of using the slimming soap! All unedited except for lighting!


Of course, like I mentioned, results differ for different individuals. I'm writing this from my point of view, and having seen results on myself, I'm saying that it works for me. I also got to try out the Bust-Up soap but sadly there weren't much apparently results for me, unlike others who saw great results... guess I'm destined for small boobs hahah.

Each pack retails for $29.90 which I think is very affordable, considering that one bar lasts for quite a long while!

It's no surprise I'm a big fan of basics, so today's advert for Rae & Rum will be featuring a couple of basic pieces!

Pictured here, I'm wearing the Bralette in Black. Aside from how versatile this piece is, I super love how well it fits!

Next up is the Basic Pineapple Cropped Top. I've gotten to many compliments on this and it's such a cute yet basic piece! Have already worn this out for a few times! It fits great and the material is soft so it's very comfortable as well!

I guess it's no surprise that I'm a big fan of shopping, online or offline. To be honest, shopping isn't my favourite thing to do, but I just love having new clothes for me to wear and snap my OOTD shots of. Which brings me to why I love pre-order sites - they are able to keep their prices lower because they don't carry dead stocks, nor do they have a need for warehouse space!

Cross My Heart Maxi Dress
Everything about this maxi dress is just perfect. It fits amazing, has a lovely print, and the best part...? It has a slit at the end of the maxi dress! Those of you who actually wear bodycon maxi dresses would know why I love this... because your stride distance doesn't get restricted thanks to the slit! Not to mention, it makes the dress look sexier!

I matched the look with theMetallix Minimalist Heels as well as the Mia Boxy Carryall.
The heels actually are really comfortable and helps to make your legs look sooooo much slimmer and longer!

Flutters

Thursday, October 2, 2014
If you guys don't already know, I have been getting eyelash extensions done for the past couple of months at Flutters (@ 15 Duxton Road) and I absolutely love it. They make me look much more awake as well as save me time doing my makeup. Besides the obvious fact that I don't have to apply mascara anymore, it also saves me time with lining my entire eyelid because the lashes makes it seem like my lashline is fuller.

Here, I'd like to disclaim that whatever I say is not just because I am sponsored. For those of you who have been reading my blog for a long time, you'd know that I really take pride in the fact that I only advertise for sponsors I believe in and personally like. 

I've been sponsored eyelash extentions previously prior to doing it with Flutters, and I gotta say that Flutters really tops my list because they are not only so comfortable that I don't feel it on my lashes, they last very long as well. I usually get single strand ones done and their lash technicians are so skilled that it is not only much faster as compared to when I got it done at other places, but also much more comfortable. I have sensitive eyes and not once has the glue that Flutters use stung my eyes.

The concept of the store is very pin-uppy and is very girly and retro. I liked that the space was cozy and spacious, and it really makes me feel right at home.

I usually get 60 strands (more here) and a dolly look (more here) but they also offer 40 and 90 strand ones as well. I usually get either the C or D curl!
It also depends on how much lashes you have naturally because the extensions will need something to adhere to. Want the most natural look? Go for 40 strands, J/B curl, Natural, and ask for the finest strand they have.

Ready to get my lashes touched up! Touch ups usually takes about 30 minutes and redos usually take an hour-ish for me!

Before:
See what I meant by it lasts long? This set has been on my lashes for over a month and it still looks great.

After:
All done and hello neater and fuller lashes again!

All done and ready to go!

Thank you Flutters for keeping my lashes pretty!
