I'm sure you guys already know I'm a firm believer in using beauty tools to help achieve better results in skincare. Today, I'm here to share my thoughts and review on a couple of new products I've been trying out (and really loving). If you haven't seen a brief introduction to my thoughts on it, here's my YouTube video on it.<br />
<center>

<br />
<br />
First up, let me talk about the Dual Cleanser.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/zAklAKzYd-tOqSQFHGH2DVJbfEqlqTsSeJ6uoUnUGDfKD5fI0hpkEsXNFITm0uxMC2VDMr5dVZyl6j1fIVT4e85QtrTWER99ErtmS-R4iDfcelw7ocshYsm0wFVG7gpLHq7P_4la5w=w800" /></div>
Unlike other cleansing devices I've used before, this is the sleekest-looking one by far. I can't wait to display it on my vanity when I get my own house in the future. It is also able to operate on 2 different cleaning modes (between a rotation motion and a micro-vibration) based on the type of head attached for the best results. I like that this device "speaks" to you (as shown in my YouTube video) and lets you know when to move to a different area of your face (and how long you should be cleansing each area) so that you can use this absent-mindedly regardless of how tired you am.<br />
<br />
The Dual Cleanser is also great for travel because of how regular the shape is. Plus, a single charge can last up to 3 months! I'm definitely bringing it along for my upcoming trips.<br />
<br />
The 70 seconds cleaning cycle goes like this: Left Cheek, Right Cheek, Nose, Chin, Forehead. You can also pick from 2 different levels of cleansing strength to customise every cleansing session.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
Personally, I use the silicon head for mornings and the brush head for nights.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_wICdr3fbuEo1YQ5NiGqEYVfwPj8vG3KBuae1bnQqm5Y5apitsmw_mlsK1GiaQIHbuV8mi9pQSevXN-UDlXKuJRQMKUT9HkMxK3MZXlkCEG7YEfAjdLfAuC8-o_8HOM_wHSWju9DGQ=w800" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

The brush head allows for a deeper cleanse which is perfect after a long day out and from wearing makeup and the likes. Both cleanser heads are very gentle on the skin so it's great even for those of you who may have sensitive skin. They work very well to dislodge any dirt and sebum trapped within the pores!<br />
<br />
After using the dual cleanser, I will follow up with my skincare as per normal. It isn't too harsh on the skin so I can use my acid products without my skin getting over-exfoliated or too sensitive. A new addition I've also added into my routine is the Pra.L Derma LED Mask.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/Xmmqz75z5nmQORdDFqEvc9IpfgYWqrZ7yZ0zeMOiXeXdFhX6DCn64ttPq2vtOjZWoVvXNNA2TDydqsP1ZWtO1lPYrRHN-xCb2ArCUpLgqksHNPI9dmZanuFNiUMtHWxfStsNvB4XHw=w800" /></div>
With 160 IR and LED lights, the Pro.L Derma LED Mask not only helps with anti-aging, but also pigmentation and pore size issues. This technology is also used in many spas and aesthetic clinics so I know it is something that is effective. I wasn't sure whether it is placebo, but I personally could feel that my skin looks brighter immediately after using it, but of course the best results will come with longer continued usage.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

One of the little detail I really liked about the Derma LED Mask is that besides also "speaking" to you (in the same way the Dual Cleanser does but in 3 minutes intervals), the mask is also mostly "wireless". It only attaches to the remote that also doubles as the power source to the mask and it makes it so easy to move around with the mask on. The interior is also padded around your eye and nose area so it was extremely comfortable to wear, just like a pair of sunglasses, so you can go about hands free!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/B-vUYWukxBSZKF9IMt6z_sRxUYyFqlRK88JkrCMKNpx4dVYMFfX6L2pYk77FxQ0sw5zL7ILmikMRApAQaYrS2pnvtMt6-P0-XitQOU8rf-p3228dhiRSKWt0jsQBOpQj3VBxgFqoNQ=w800" /></div>
The one-way transparent-mirror eye area also allows you to retain your vision field while being protected from the lights. You can look out, but no one can see your eyes! For me, this made it perfect for using my phone while I have the Derma LED Mask on.<br />
<br />
If you're someone who prefers to relax instead, the mask allows me to lay down comfortably without any obstruction.<br />

Hey guys! It's been such a long time since I've last updated here. I nearly forgot what it feels like to be editing pictures for a blog post. Reviving this space today with a lil review (and advertisement) on one of my newfound favourites.</div>
</div>
<br />
I have always been a user of micellar water for as long as I can remember - it's lightweight, effective, and most importantly, quick and easy to use without breaking my skin out. One of the brands I have used for a super long period is Bifesta. It's not only super affordable ($18.90 a bottle) but works very well. Not to mention, always A+ for Japanese products and their packaging!<br />
<br />
Mooooving on to the star of today's post, Bifesta Sensitive Micellar Cleansing Lotion (for city skin)<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

So, what exactly is "city skin"?<br />
As people who live in the city, our skin is exposed to a myriad of external stress that might cause or aggravate certain skin conditions such as dryness and itching. A bad diet and lack of sleep can also make you more susceptible to break outs and skin sensitivity!<br />
<br />
This new Sensitive Micellar Cleansing lotion helps to build your defense against the external aggressors of city life for healthy and hydrated skin. In particular, the Bifesta Micellar Cleansing Lotions are also incredibly easy to use – just pump it onto a cotton pad and wipe your makeup off.<br />

It's super easy to use and the Bifesta Micellar water keeps my skin super moisturised so it's perfect if you hate the tight feeling after using certain cleansers. You can choose to not rinse off after removing your makeup with the micellar water, but i do have the habit of double cleansing so I will usually follow up with my cleanser before proceeding with my skincare routine.<br />
<br />
I don’t usually wear heavy makeup on a daily basis so this micellar water is perfect for me! It’s very effective and removed everything super easily so I don’t have to worry about tugging too hard on my skin (which might lead to wrinkles!). <br />

This is definitely definitely one of my favourites (and top recommendations) for an affordable and effective makeup remover. It is now available at all major drugstores, supermarkets, and leading departmental stores. I highly recommend for you girls to try this out, and let me know if you like it as much as I do too!<br />

It's been a while since I last touched this space. I guess everyone's kind of moved on to other platforms and I'm a little out of touch on how to start a blog post hahaha. So please, bear with me if my sentences seem a little short, like Instagram captions.<br />
<br />
Juchheim invited a few of us bloggers down to their Takashimaya outlet (at the Food Hall, where the Japanese food are) last weekend to preview their newly launched Jewellery Baum and Manekineko Baum - and we got to leave with some sweet treats to share with our friends and families!<br />

I'm not gonna lie, I am not a huge fan of sweets and cakes. Never really had a sweet tooth from when I was younger - so I brought the boyfriend along to try out the cakes as well so that I can give a more comprehensive review on it!<br />

The first thing that caught my eye when I reached the counter was how pretty these cakes are. The new Jewellery Baum really lives up to it's name. It was almost like shopping at a jewellery store, where everything is displayed behind the glass display - and it was sparkling like a piece of jewellery would.<br />

The Jewellery Baum comes in 5 different flavours - Berries, Orange, Mango, Matcha, and Coffee. My personal favourite is Mango and Berries since I really like fruity flavours. They were a little sweet for me, but everyone else thought that they were alright, so it was probably just my lack of a sweet tooth. However, I think these cakes would go very well with tea, so it's a good item to get for gatherings with your girlfriends!<br />
<br />
Besides how sweet I felt it was, I actually really enjoyed the Jewellery Baum. The cake surrounding the jelly is nice and soft, but the jelly provides an interesting contrast in textures and flavours. The boyfriend also approves! Look at how happy he is eating the sweets.<br />

Along with the Jewellery Baum, Juchheim has also launched their Manekineko Baum. For those of you who are familiar with Manekineko, you'd know that it is a prosperity cat.<br />

The Manekineko Baum is specially made to have 8 layers as it is a symbol of prosperity in Chinese! It is made of the same batter as their original (and best selling) Baumkuchen, and tastes just as good. The cake is slightly dense but very fragrant. If you enjoy kueh lapis, you'd find that this is like a lighter (and less oily) version of it!<br />
<br />
Enough of me rambling about how good the cakes are, I think the best way for you guys to find out is to head down to their counter to find out. They provide free samples (and rather generous portions) so you can try out which is to your liking before purchasing!<br />

Happy New Year everyone! Before Chinese New Year came about, I went to get my nose fillers touched up. I've previously gotten my nose bridge fillers done and this time round, I thought I'd share with you guys some things you should know before deciding if you want to get yours done too.<br />
<br />
This time round, I got my fillers done at <a href="http://www.drcalvinchan.com/">Calvin Chan Aesthetics and Laser</a> at Wheelock. <br />
<br />
<b>1. Know what type of filler you are using.</b><br />
Based on what I know, the most common type of fillers used are HA (Hyaluronic acid) ones because of its compatibility with the human body, with it already being found in our bodies. I have tried both Juvéderm and Restylane and both worked well for me. Depending on your doctor, they might recommend different fillers for different parts of the face because of how the fillers work and how long they last. I had one syringe injected this time round, and it will last anywhere from 6~12 months depending on my body's metabolic rate.<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>2. Be open to suggestions.</b><br />
Obviously the doctor will know what's best for you, which is why it is important to go to a experienced and reputable clinic/doctor for procedures like fillers. Doctor Chan recommended that I filled the tip area instead of my usual nose bridge area, and I'm really glad that he did. I always thought that I will never be able to make my nose look smaller with fillers, but filling up the tip did help it. It also helped with making my face look more defined and I loved it. Plus, the fillers looked really natural and I've gotten many compliments regarding it. <br />
<br />
<b>3. It should not hurt.*</b><br />
This is the third time I'm getting fillers done and I've never once experienced any pain. The doctors I've went to were all very meticulous and I would have never done it again if there was any pain. You can however, definitely feel a mild pressure as the fillers are being injected - but that goes away after you're done - which should be in 10~15 minutes.<br />
<br />
*I do have to say though, as I've not done any derma fillers on any other parts of my face, I'm not sure if other parts will hurt (eg. lips or tear trough). Make sure to ask your doctor all the questions you need to. If necessary, do your research and write it down before you do your consultation.<br />
<br />
<b>4. It might bruise.</b><br />
As there is a needle injection, some people might experience bruising - a problem which I did not have. The red marks from the injection, which were not too noticeable until close up, faded away after 2 days and I was already able to use makeup to cover it after the first day. Again, this might differ for different areas.<br />
<br />
<b>5. It will settle after a couple of days</b><br />
You should expect your fillers to decrease in volume about 20% after a couple of days because of how it reacts with your body. What some doctors do is to inject more than what you think you want, and let it settle; others might inject it to what you want, and if you want to fill up the area more after you can head back to touch up (since fillers are sold in syringes and you have to use them up within 3 months). Therefore, keep in mind that the area may not look exactly like how it did when you leave the clinic.<br />

<br />
Since my first post, I'm sure all of you can tell that I'm definitely a fan of Rosette's cleansers. They are not only affordable, they are great for your skin and gets the job done well.<br />

Both cleansers have a "sticky" gel consistency that makes a really fluffy dense foam. <br />

Got to admit I was really excited to try this one as I'm a huge fan of green tea/matcha. I've long known that matcha contains a high amount of antioxidants (which fight free-radicals, and therefore tend to have anti-aging properties) so I had high hopes for this one. It has the definitive fragant scent of matcha which makes it really relaxing and soothing. Besides it's antioxidant benefit, this cleanser helps to treat dark spots on the face, calm pimples and acne, and will improve your skin condition over time. This also contains Azuki red beans which helps to brighten your skin.<br />

The matcha cleanser foams up really easily and washes off very easily too. It leaves a nice and clean feel after, without feeling too tight. In fact, my skin really does glow after using it.<br />

I am also a fan of Yuzu so it does feel like this range was catered to me haha. For those of you who have dryer skin and will prefer something more moisturizing, I will definitely recommend this instead. The Yuzu scent smells very natural and is very refreshing. It also contains honey, which is a humectant and has anti-inflammatory properties (so this might be perfect for you if you have skin that's dry on the surface but oily beneath). Plus, it claims to help with fading scars!<br />

I do prefer to use this at night as it is more moisturizing than the matcha one, but it does help protect your skin against UV rays (but you still have to put sunblock on). Again, just like the other cleansers, they foam up really nicely and washes off very cleanly. I definitely felt like my skin was more moisturized after using this than my other cleansers. <br />

Rosette has just launched two new products to add on to their existing range of facial cleansers - Nature Blend Peeling Gel and Nature Blend Clay Pack. Both of the new products contain special ingredients to help rejevenate the skin.<br />
<br />

Squalene Oil: Hydrates the skin to help reduce the appearance of fine line and wrinkles. Lightens skin pigmentation.<br />
Seaweed Extract: Contains a lot of essential vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and antioxidants to keep the skin revitalized, moisturized, and youthful. Anti-inflammatory, and is effective in expelling toxins from pores.<br />

If you are keeping up with your skincare regime and still find that your skin looks dull, it could be that you aren't exfoliating enough. I exfoliate daily with my sonic cleanser, but that might be too harsh for some of you - especially if you suffer from acne. One of the solution is to use a peeling gel - which works by sticking to the dead skin cells and balling them up so that you can easily wash it off. It's really gentle so there's no worrying about it overworking your skin! <br />
<br />
Start off with a cleansed and dry face, then apply an appropriate amount (3~4cm) of peeling gel onto your face. Massage it in with circular motions. After about a minute, you can easily rinse the product off to reveal bright and soft skin! <br />

I do really like the fact that this is so gentle and it's actually really fun to use. Plus, i appreciate it being a thicker gel texture so that it's easier to apply without the mess. I remember when peeling gels first appeared on the market, they were not only expensive but quite liquidly - which made it harder to use without dripping.<br />

The clay pack contains 3 types of clay (marine, green, and white) to remove dead skin and absorb dirt hiding in pores to prevent dull and lusterless complexion. It also helps to speed up cell turnover while purifying the skin, and closes up dilated pores.<br />
<br />
Again, use this on a cleansed and dry face. Apply it to the face and wash it out after 3~5 minutes. <br />

This was a really interesting one to use because most of the clay packs I have used are always on the dryer side - which tends to dry up the skin as well (which made them suitable for oily but not dry skin). The Marine Blend Clay Pack goes on really smooth and moist, and my skin felt super soft and hydrated after rinsing off. Plus, extra points for the fact that it only takes a short amount of time (3~5 minutes) to pamper your skin. Lazy girls will love this! In fact, you can put a thicker layer than I did and use it 2~3 times a week. <br />

I think I have said this countless of times before, but to get great skin, cleansing is very important. While I am a huge fan of make up, I defnitely think that without a good base, your makeup will not look as good as it can be. Besides it being makeup prep, proper cleansing also allows your skin to breathe after a long day of exposure to the sun/pollutants in the air and helps in skincare absorbtion.<br />
<br />
I was recently sent and have been trying out Rosette's Face Washes and now I am completely hooked. Rosette is a skincare brand founded in Japan, and it means "Elegance of Rose" and "Nobility", and their very first product was a paste-type facial wash made with sulfur (for acne protection). Now, Rosette has 4 different types of face washes to suit every skin type. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-xUOg52XjpZ4/V248L5lCNzI/AAAAAAAANYU/z0_gk-WDYHsVNXQOv64WarP4VWIsJiTUgCCo/s1200/Rosette.jpg" /></div>
One of the things I found interesting was that the face wash was called "pasta" face wash - and that is apparently due to the wash's fine texture and doughy form - so do bear in mind that this isn't a typo!<br />
<br />
Since being introduced to beauty products, I have had tried a lot of Japanese brands' face washes and I noticed one thing that was consistent through their products is that they tend to prefer gentle face washes that produce a large amount of thick, fluffy foam. This is due to their skincare belief that this not only helps with better cleansing, but also reduces the amount of force and friction on the skin, thus helping maintain the youthful look (no wrinkles).<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-78Cv-3ueVDI/V248GcDQM7I/AAAAAAAANYU/UTNGjmAyd64Ljn_489XNKIeH5h9Z2JS_ACCo/s1200/IMG_0443.JPG" /></div>
The one that I was most interested to first try out was the White Clay (Pink, contains White Clay, Hyaluronic Acid and Marine Collagen) as I feel that it's always good to start anti-aging early. If you have oily/acne prone skin, try the blue tube, and if you have sensitive/normal skin I would recommend the green one! The clays all produced a very thick and rich lather, but I feel that the White Clay was the densest.<br />
<br />
They were all easy to lather.. I got a rich lather within seconds!<br />

<br />
The foam feels so fluffy and smooth it's like washing your face with a cloud. I really liked that it leaves your face feeling squeaky clean without drying it out or making it feel tight. Plus, this is really great for those of you with acne problems (the blue tube) because it is so gentle and will not aggravate your acne. I prefer a bit more exfoliation so I use this with my Clarisonic after massaging it onto my skin for a while.<br />

What's unique about Rosette’s facial wash is the use of different natural clay (Sea Clay, Ghassoul and White Clay) to suit different skin types and solve different skin problems. This way, not only is your skincare targetted to suit your skin, but your cleanser is as well!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

If you are younger and have normal/acne-prone skin type, I'm pretty sure you'd like the Kaidei Smooth or Acne Clear one. I used to have oily skin and very often, cleaners targetted at such issues will strip your skin of natural oils and make it feel really tight - which is not an issue I've experienced with Rosette's facial washes.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
I have tried all but the Acne one because that is not suitable for my skin type, and I'm glad to say that they all get a thumbs up from me. My favourite will have to be a tie between White Clay (Lifting) and Ghassoul (Whitening)!<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
All of Rosette's face washes are without added colours, fragrances or mineral oils, it still smells really nice and refreshing. What's best? They only cost <b>$9.90</b>, which will be really affordable for students too!<br />

As a huge beauty junkie, I've always believed that a good base helps your makeup to look and apply better. Besides taking care of your skin with skincare products, good cleansing (makeup removal + cleanser) is a must.<br />
<br />
For the longest of time, I have been using micellar waters to remove my makeup. My skin was quite sensitive and acne-prone, so micellar waters were a lifesaver - they not only did the job but worked well on my skin.. but the only downside was that the brand that worked for me was really expensive <i><b>$$$$$$</b></i>. Not only that, I always had to use a separate remover for my waterproof mascaras (before I had eyelash extensions) because the micellar water could never remove it completely. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-3YFTyK-_jpM/V006KMehk-I/AAAAAAAANVA/Xt15eTFiUhshXUrpMNcZdcqe5u8ef55NgCCo/s1200/IMG_0276.JPG" /></div>
I actually heard about the Garnier Micellar Water from beauty gurus raving about them on YouTube for its really good value and quality, and my sister uses it as well so I was really excited to get to try this out for myself. Garnier Micellar Water has 2 variants:<br />
1. The Pink Micellar – for light makeup users who don’t use waterproof mascara<br />
2. Blue Biphase Micellar (blue cap) - which contains no oil but is able to remove even waterproof makeup!<br />
Also, it’s made in the U.S. but lucky for us, SG is actually the first country in Asia to fly this in from the U.S.!<br />
<br />
The Blue Micellar Water has a special biphase formula that works to remove waterproof makeup, but is gentle enough on your eyes and skin so it's still suitable for sensitive skin (no oil, fragrance, or alcohol). Just like other biphase cleansers, you are supposed to shake it up to create an emulsion. <br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-mkjrP82nwS0/V006K_SRkKI/AAAAAAAANVA/laiAMEjoXkQ2faNPOvyeJ6uBW7mr8dXuQCCo/s800/IMG_0277.JPG" /></div>

I was initially quite skeptical about using this because I have eyelash extensions on so I'm not supposed to use oil-based removers, but the waterproof formula is completely non-oily without compromising its efficacy. For lazy girls, you'd be delighted to know that this actually doubles as a cleanser - so there is no need for you to double cleanse if you don't want to! <br />

With just one swipe, most of my eye makeup was removed. I will usually go in again nearing the top and bottom lashline with a q-tip because I have eyelash extensions on and this lets me get nearer to the lashline without disrupting my lashes. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

In fact, this works as well as (or even better) than the expensive brand I used to buy! For comparison purposes, I saturated two pieces of cotton pads with the removers and left it on for 10 seconds on my eyes before swiping it off. <br />

While both brands removed the eyeshadows quite well, the difference is more obvious when it comes to my waterproof eyeliner <br />

Squeeeeaky clean! The blue version is actually more hydrating (which is a plus because wearing makeup all day actually dries out the skin) so I will recommend this over the pink one for those of you who have dry skin! I love how my skin feels so hydrated, soft and completely free of makeup after using it. <br />

<br />
Like I mentioned, cleansing is very important so while there isn't a need to, I do like to wash my face before I apply my skincare products. Have been trying out Garnier's new cleansers and I love how gentle they all are. My favourite is the Balancing Daily Exfoliator!<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
"One drop locks up an ocean"</div>
I'm pretty sure many of you would've heard of this tagline for Hada Labo's famous SHA lotion from a long time ago. SHA, Super Hyaluronic Acid, is a humectant which basically means it's really good at trapping water and also why it's so popular in skincare products. <br />
<br />
I used to use the full range of Hada Labo products so I'm really familiar with them, especially the SHA lotion. It was already an amazing product (with a very affordable price point) when I used it years ago and I don't know how Hada Labo did it but they managed to make it even better. <br />
<br />
Hada Labo's new SHA Lotion contains 4 different types of Hyaluronic Acids with varying molecule sizes (Large Sized, Medium, Super, and Nano) and makes use of HPP&M technology to help provide the deep hydration that we all need for our skin.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Hydration =/= Moisturisation</b></div>
Hydration means that your skin (in the lower layers of the dermis) is hydrated, whereas moisturisation is keeping the top layer of your skin moist to trap in the hydration (think of it as a layer of oil on water to keep the water from evaporating), which is why some people still suffer from dry skin even though they moisturise daily. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijPGX7FNp0AhaFWt4e7fkKrU9tNf4aH5pagy7rbZh5UEDGylxtS2cMsfFKsVeeD8ew-0zgBGczULnXW09NPzk-e5WF08SeVXIYdeC3oQYULbMgVlq_k9L0ZaxBx8nVxBgZVQHl_zA8F64q/s1067/CIMG0702.JPG" /></div>
When your skin is dehydrated, it not only looks dull and uneven, but also takes longer to recover and regenerate - which is why deep hydration is really important. Not only that, dehydrated skin also tend to make you look aged, which is why Korean stars always look so young with their moist and dewy skin texture. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-S_LddXGslaI/VzrRbQoFywI/AAAAAAAANRU/1ybXmBN3lAYT6cOCeWESjFbj_I-fsapFwCCo/s800/IMG_0042.JPG" /></div>

Hydration is essential for everyone! So in the same range, they also have SHA Lotion (Light) which is suitable for those of you with oily/combination skin. I thought the SHA lotion was light enough, but this is even lighter, feels literally like water - except for the fact that it glides so smoothly on your skin and absorbs so quickly into your skin to work its magic.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Hz5tVFQg0ZI/VzrRb3eMDFI/AAAAAAAANRY/H5AvmdKG8wMzUkIbxFYdh0PsLx3ZHYExwCCo/s800/IMG_0053.jpg" /></div>
The essence has a slightly thicker texture than the lotions, (think: liquidy gel) but absorbs into the skin and hydrates very quickly. I also noticed that my makeup glides on better after I use this. <br />
<br />
I also like that they repackaged their essence into a glass bottle with a dropper!<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-VV7wLWiiM_E/VzrRbROGWiI/AAAAAAAANRU/BJyB7HdC9ecFbbIBq6Nf6VUIC8O1kU8WwCCo/s927/CIMG0704.JPG" /> </div>

Hada Labo only uses purified pharma-grade water for their products (the same type that was used for eye drops in the past) to make their products - which means you get water that is free of any allergants and metals, so you receive only the good stuff, nothing unnecessary.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-D7Xgceiz6CY/VzrRaWEjUyI/AAAAAAAANRU/2uTGtQU07r8LVF5F7But60mbXowpOj5fQCCo/s1067/CIMG0697.JPG" /></div>
When applying the lotions, remember to lightly pat it into your skin. This helps to stimulate your skin and to aid in better absorption of the product. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-o4xzTSf8WQs/Vxsar3ixtwI/AAAAAAAANMs/Ws4LlKDojhww20FsQ0-j_ZCvmMw8b3TiQCCo/s1200/IMG_3825.JPG" /> </div>
I'm sure we all agree that our eyes are very important. Ever since I have developed myopia, not wearing specs whenever I’m out has been a chore because I had to approach something at close proximity in order to read the signs clearly - street signs, bus numbers, and car plates (for my uber bookings) to name a few. While my myopia isn't THAT serious, it is significant enough for me to notice a difference when I don't wear my specs/contacts out. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-dia0dhf_qi0/VxsasDixAnI/AAAAAAAANMw/IQhm8eSP2-kci4uwzTtRw-nsaKADiEhxQCCo/s800/IMG_3828.JPG" /></div>
Because I have long nails, I tend to prefer daily lenses as I don't have the confidence to wash the lenses as cleanly as I should with the monthly lens. Plus, dailies always come individually packed making it really convenient and easy to bring around. <br />
<br />
<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-sbm54XS8GbY/VxsarsrXNKI/AAAAAAAANMs/z9ixVV9mobImQC2WExlHVmyOJqRREmqKwCCo/s800/20160423_120456_011.jpg" /><br />
Besides looking better, one of the reasons why I prefer wearing contacts over glasses lies with my love for shades (sunglasses). When I choose to wear my glasses out, I almost always have to change them out when I get outdoors. I can't tell you guys how many times have I had to sacrifice my eyesight for sun protection :(. However, when I'm out for long days I can't wear my contacts as they get dry and uncomfortable before my day is over.<br />
<br />
The boyfriend doesn't usually allow me to wear my contacts everyday for prolonged periods since I often face discomfort and encounter dry eyes at the end of the day. Hence, I was really looking forward to try Alcon DAILIES TOTAL 1 and see what it can do for me. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-wPJA8RWwmBY/VxsasUB1UzI/AAAAAAAANM4/lFiTo1zBH_cdKiCyjM8WQqG46IgOaxZ7QCCo/s800/IMG_9722.JPG" /></div>
<blockquote>
Alcon DAILIES TOTAL 1 is the world’s first & only water gradient contact lens, with close to 100% water at the surface, all that touches your eyes is a cushion of moisture. This is why contact lens have reached a new era of comfort, with comfort that lasts until the end of the day. </blockquote>
When I first saw the above text, I was indeed a little skeptical... because that is really a big claim to make - close to 100% water at the surface! However, when I tried the lens on, I was blown away. The lenses are really thin and soft, and I couldn't even feel it on my eyes when I put it on. Indeed all that touches my eyes is a cushion of moisture. Throughout the day, I couldn't even feel that the lenses were there and I was immediately sold. I also wore it for my entire trip to Tokyo earlier in April, and the lenses were still as moist and comfortable despite the cold temperature and even colder winds.<br />
<br />
Here's how moist the lens were after a full day of wear, even though I have dry eyes. <br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0f6uv-_netqRhTJhe-CkBRgr-mq2viegT542DXR32dD848Ao9vZt2feXh5VV-mIXV0xtYV4WoOngNMmv5yiR1pgLEGJFrjSAzh2kdX6wLEAwydcRk_anREuC3ZqtfjU2lu_Lygv9v70Mx/s800/20160326_234935.jpg" /></div>
However, one thing to take note of is that due to how moist the lenses are, you will have to make sure your fingers are dry when removing.<br />
<br />
Not going to lie though - these are a little pricier than the usual lenses I buy, but totally worth it. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-qklGGY94qqs/VyOFJIabAWI/AAAAAAAANPs/7yWRuF-51TYYmDfBJqhjQsBJET647hoiQCCo/s800/IMG_9665.JPG" /> </div>
With Korean beauty gaining popularity, it's no doubt that more brands will come out with popular k-beauty products, as well as us being introduced to more Korean brands. <a href="http://www.sephora.sg/categories/makeup?utm_source=influencer_marketing&utm_medium=referrals&utm_campaign=other_Kbeauty_jamietyj">Sephora</a> sent me their K-Beauty box earlier this month so I thought I'll do a review for the products inside!<br />
<br />
An update on my skin type: I used to have oily skin so while I did like the Korean makeup style, I could not wear the dewy skin products as I get too oily by the end of the day. Now, I have recently started on a low dose acctuane for oil control, so my skin is now more on the normal/dry side which is perfect for the dewy skin trend. If you have oily skin and would like to try the dewy skin trend too, I would suggest you get a very good primer.<br />
<br />
As with all beauty regimes, K-beauty also starts with prepping the skin.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>3CE White Milk Cream, $49</b></div>
This is a skin care product that goes on as the last step of your skincare, before makeup. I was really excited when I saw this because I follow them on Instagram and I saw the picture they posted there and the results looked amazing. It contains milk protein extract and vitamin E which helps with whitening the skin and keeping wrinkles at bay, giving you pure and clear skin.It's a pretty big tub, and I liked that it feels really lightweight (lighter than cream, slightly thicker than gel) but preps and smoothens the skin. It evens out and lightens (very spectacularly) without it looking unnatural. My skin feels very moist and soft after applying, and a little does go a long way! <br />
<br />
Following that, it's getting your skin looking perfect. On to your base!<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Erborian CC Crème, $29</b></div>
It was actually my first time hearing about this brand but I did like that it comes in a small, travel-friendly tube. With it being a multi-tasker (med to full coverage too) I can see this being in many travel bags. However, it's a little thick for my liking since I prefer lighter coverage, and while it colour matches well on my hand, it's too dark/orange on my face :(.<br />
<br />

<b>Moonshot Microfit Cushion SPF50, $47 | Moonshot Moonflash Cushion SPF50, $47</b></div>
Moonshot is a relatively new brand that just reached Sephora stores very recently, and it's the makeup brand of the entertainment company YG. When I first heard of the launch of the brand in Singapore, I was really excited to try it out as the products seemed very promising.<br />
<br />
I really liked the Microfit Cushion as it is super lightweight (looks super natural and you don't feel/see it sitting on your skin) and sets without a sticky feeling. It comes in 3 shades only, so if you are a little tanner it might not suit your skin tone (as with many korean base products). I like how it's super nice and cooling when you apply it onto your skin, which is perfect for the weather we have in Singapore. The Microfit Cushion gives the skin a nice dewy sheen without looking too shiny. The fact that it has SPF50 PA+++ is also a plus.<br />
<br />
If you prefer an even more glowy complexion, you can layer the Moonflash Cushion under your foundation, or use it afterward as a highlight. The Moonflash looks very flattering because it provides a very nice glow to the skin, and hits the light in all the right places. It does have a very similar texture to the Microfit Cushion, just that it's lighter and has very fine pieces of shimmer.<br />
<br />
What I absolutely love about the two cushions?? The sponge puff! Besides the beautiful colour, it's a lot softer and more velvety than a lot of the sponges I've used on cushion makeup. I'd definitely purchase the puff separately if it's ever on sale haha.<br />
<br />
<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-RNIPxMn8q4k/VyOFJnro-AI/AAAAAAAANPs/zCJFjObjuHs7u6Szh2ytIci-CPKaHGVwACCo/s800/IMG_9934.JPG" /><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Sephora Wondeful Cushion Foundation, $36</b></div>
Truth be told, this is actually the first time I've tried Sephora's house brand products and I am totally blown away. While the puff is nothing like Moonshot's, I do prefer the fomula of the foundation itself on this. Besides that it comes in a wider variety of shades, I do prefer the finish on the Wonderful Cushion Foundation which is more of a semi-matte finish. It is again, very lightweight and looks very natural on the skin, and also has a cooling sensation when applied to the skin. Plus, this is a little cheaper for your wallet so if you are looking for a cushion foundation to try for the first time, try this out!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Q910Bfyj6Uw/VyOFLhvHfwI/AAAAAAAANPg/0Ug7VGPhIikgSLBHib6faAJLAskvnHmXQCCo/s800/IMG_9948.JPG" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Becca Aqua Luminous Foundation, $68</b></div>
I've only tried Becca products once before, and it was one of their mineral powder foundations and I loved it, so I had very high hopes for this. Again, this foundation promises to be lightweight and luminious. I liked how lightweight the foundation is (seems to be water-based) and the coverage is good enough - light to medium. Unlike cushion foundations, I always found that liquid foundations tend to be harder to build up layers for, but it wasn't a case with this foundation. Plus, I like that it comes with a dropper so that's no risk of spilling it since it's so liquidy. Do also note that this foundation does oxidise a little, but Becca has a wide variety of shades so make sure you find one that fits your skin well.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Dr.Jart+ BB Matte Contouring 1,2,3 Kit, $58</b></div>
After putting on foundation, there is always a tendency for your face to look flat - so its very important to bring back the dimensions to your face by highlighting and contouring. If you prefer a more natural looking contour, use cream products as they blend into your skin more easily, as opposed to sitting on your skin. These set to a light and powdery finish so powdering it after is optional. I think that the middle shade for neutalizing is very normal-ish, but I do like the highlight and contour.<br />
The formulation of these matte BBs are a little more of a mousse texture, but they are easy to blend. I find that it's best to pat with finger tips for this, before going in with a kabuki to blend out the edges. The applicators on the BBs makes it very easy to place the product exactly where you want though. Do note not to go overboard with the contour as it is matte so if you overdo it it might look muddy. <br />
<br />
After that, it's time for a pop of colour!<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Sephora Wonderful Cushion Healthy Glow Cream Blush, $20</b></div>
While I do like the concept of this, I usually squeeze out the product and apply it onto the back of my clean hands when doing makeup. This is so that the cushion doesn't get dirty and filled wih bacteria over time since I can't wash it unlike the cushion foundation's puffs (which I also make a point not to double dip into). The formula of this is very light and the colour comes out sheerer than you would think, giving you a very natural flush from within. I also liked that there were tiny specks of shimmer to help highlight and give you a radiant look. Pssst, this can be used on the cheeks too!<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Shu Uemura x KYE Fresh Cushion Blusher, $48</b></div>
While I am a big fan of Shu Uemura and orange blushers, this product was a total miss for me. Don't get me wrong, I did like the formula and that it comes out more pigmented than usual korean blushers, I did not like this colour at all. It's very yellow-based and after applying it onto my skin, I just looked super sallow. Definitely would work better with someone who is much fairer than I am. Maybe I should give this colour another try after applying the white milk cream haha.<br />

<b>Benefit Posie Tint Cheek & Lip Stain </b></div>
One of the first products that caught my eye from Benefit was their Benetint, and Posie Tint is the pink version of it. While I wouldn't recommend to beginners as application can be a little patchy if you are not fast enough, but this looks really natural if you can get the hang of it. The tint is amazing and works very quickly, and lasts throughout the day, and since it's a tint you won't really feel it on. Plus, you can easily use this on both your lips and cheeks so it's perfect for travel. However, make sure you exfoliate and moisturize well before using this because it does have a tendency to cling and appear more pigmented on dry patches.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Shu Uemura x KYE Sheer Colour Balm, $33</b></div>
Let me start of by saying that I love this product so much. It's a sheer balm, but pigmented enough for the colour to show, and it gives your lips a very "glow-from-within" kind of radiance. It doesn't feel sticky or oily. You can definitely feel that your lips feel (and looks) nice and moist with this on. There's no shimmer in this so it's perfect for a natural look. I have all 3 shades and they are limited edition so be sure to grab them before they're gone! <br />

<b>Sephora Wonderful Cushion Matte Lip Cream, $16</b></div>
Another product that really caught me by surprise. It's the first time I've used a product like this, and it's perfect for creating that perfect ulzzang gradient lips. The fomula is very light and dries matte, but it doesn't feel sticky or too drying. I really liked that the sponge applicator helps to blend out harsh lines, and it is very easy to control the amount of product you dispense. My tip, start with less and apply more as you need. It's easy to build up the layers without clumping!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you're interested in checking them out, head down to any Sephora outlet or go to their online website @ <b><a href="http://www.sephora.sg/categories/makeup?utm_source=influencer_marketing&utm_medium=referrals&utm_campaign=other_Kbeauty_jamietyj">SEPHORA.SG</a></b> </div>

I mentioned that since the fillers will settle down after a few days, some people might prefer to head back for a touch up - which was exactly what I ended up doing. The bridge did look good, but I wanted it to start just a tad bit higher for a smoother curve.<br />
<br />
Here's what it looked like after the fillers set, but before the touch up,<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-CH92Kp33Fjc/Vl_nR61r8hI/AAAAAAAANCw/kwCFg9idBBE/s1067-Ic42/IMG_9440.JPG" /></div>

<br />
The procedure is exactly the same this time round, consultation and everything. For a clearer picture of what happens, check out this video My Fat Pocket filmed for me while I was there.<br />

Directly after the touch up. No bruises again! <br />

I loooooove the height because it really helps to define the rest of my features. It is very natural and fits perfect with the rest of my face, which was exactly what I wanted in the first place. I think Dr Wong did an amazing job and I would definitely recommend him to anyone who is intending to get any aesthetics servicce!<br />

<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-_L_uk6xogp8/VklRQ01oqFI/AAAAAAAANBA/HNeNJkw6xQc/s1200-Ic42/IMG_2284.JPG" /></div>
For the longest of time, one of the features I haven't been liking too much on my face has been my nose bridge (the area between my eyes). I felt that it's really low and flat, so it in turn makes my nose flatter as well. I have had nose fillers done previously, but they generally last between 12~18 months and mine has already long dissolved.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-8-ttWlrSrfs/VkhJV8TY-dI/AAAAAAAANAI/KHlfwoPGOSY/s800-Ic42/BEFORE.jpg" /></div>
You can see just how flat my nose looks (especially for more frontal shots) in pictures if I didn't contour it or anything. These pictures were taken very recently just on my trip to Japan. Plus, because of how low my bridge is, whenever I wear specs/sunglasses, they would either slid off my nose or hit my cheeks - so I really wanted a slight elevation.<br />
<br />
So I recently headed to <span id="goog_1611360631"></span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/" target="_blank">Assurance Skin, Laser and Aesthetics</a><span id="goog_1611360632"></span> over at Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital to get nose fillers done again.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Ea1Jech1k58/VklRQ8reg_I/AAAAAAAANA4/5l69yQgKwXc/s1200-Ic42/IMG_2286.JPG" /> </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Q4q-v6fc2ZE/VklRRcqvbcI/AAAAAAAANA8/zn5pEp3f0MY/s800-Ic42/IMG_2289.JPG" /> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-65VCP4q7WEE/VklRipFmA7I/AAAAAAAANBI/HgL_LMi2vC8/s800-Ic42/Screen%252520Shot%2525202015-11-16%252520at%25252011.45.17%252520AM.png" /> </div>
Just like any other procedures, a consultation is done beforehand so that you can let the doctor know what you are looking to do (which in my case, was nose bridge fillers) and the doctor can advise accordingly. Most importantly, I also wanted to make sure that my fillers looked natural and in-line with the rest of my features so i made sure to convey that to Dr Wong. <br />
Dr Wong was really patient and professional, and I definitely felt like I was in good hands. With so many years of experience under his belt, he definitely knows what he is doing.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-_tRGa0v5Xx4/VklRQ3VtlMI/AAAAAAAANA0/yv9hL4FIoyE/s800-Ic42/IMG_2288.JPG" /></div>
After we were done with the consultation, we headed over to the procedure room to apply the numbing cream for the fillers. The good thing about fillers is that it is temporary (so that you can always get it done to suit your face shape/features even as they shift as you age) and that you can get it done quickly and immediately with no down time. Plus, I learnt an interesting fact that you can get your fillers dissolved if you end up being unhappy with how it looks.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ckZDDt5d-Vc/VkhJVoFOkvI/AAAAAAAANAI/WfuwM6z-H5s/s1067-Ic42/CIMG0308.JPG" /></div>
The numbing cream was applied for about 45 minutes. During that time, you are free to do whatever you want to - I had work that day so I brought my laptop along with me and did my work while waiting for the numbing cream to take effect.<br />
<br />
After the numbing cream, iodine is applied as an antiseptic.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-kZHHJ0kEY3M/VkhJVmEcnfI/AAAAAAAANAI/SskzdlyIZX4/s800-Ic42/CIMG0311.JPG" /></div>
<br />
Here's my nose bridge BEFORE:<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
Thanks to the numbing cream, the injection didn't hurt one bit, but I could still feel mild pressure when the fillers are injected into the targeted area.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-taeFeLjjHSA/VkhJWutK8FI/AAAAAAAANAI/pOYVIcqard0/s800-Ic42/CIMG0314.JPG" /></div>

See how tiny the injection mark is? <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-asaRka1BrzI/VkhJXx4xbUI/AAAAAAAANAI/IIiuxALO668/s1067-Ic42/CIMG0326.JPG" /></div>
Moulding the shape is key for it to looking natural! <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-nWgbkTcAzsI/VkhJXf94teI/AAAAAAAANAI/KS-9SYRPX-U/s1067-Ic42/CIMG0322.JPG" /></div>
No down time nor bruising. A little concealer over the area to cover up the injection mark <br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-8Roe-hFzJFQ/Vkhk102HYfI/AAAAAAAANAI/wZsRic3llQs/s1067-Ic42/CIMG0329.JPG" /></div>
All done! There is however, bound to be a little swelling so the height seen now is slightly more elevated than meant for. The fillers will take 2~3 days to settle to its final height so if there is any touch ups to be done, it would have to be after that.<br />

<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-40ybnqjicbg/Vj71q_RxvTI/AAAAAAAAM7s/R5LWr_m-p8k/s1200-Ic42/IMG_2360.JPG" /></div>
I can't believe that this year has gone by so quickly- just one month to go and it'll be December. Time for all the fun and festivities, with plenty of good cheer! And with Christmas right round the corner, Lancôme has specially launched some gift sets for you to get the perfect gift for your friends and family- what better way to share the spirit of giving with the ones you love? <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-DTxtINKnFtw/Vj71imHqidI/AAAAAAAAM7s/OyibrPuPWXE/s800-Ic42/HydraZenCreams.jpg" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Lancôme’s gift sets are perfect for that beauty junkie friend or family member who loves to travel – most of the sets comprise of a full-sized product and an assortment of travel sized products as well. It’s great how the travel-sized bottles aren’t too small, which means you have a considerably decent portion of the products to use. Plus, there are sets which cater to every need that you or your loved ones might have, ranging from skincare to makeup, and even nail polishes.<br />
<br />
The set pictured above is actually worth $181, but is going for a retail price of $98- a near 50% discount! The Hydra Zen range is suitable for stressed (dehydrated, sensitive, red/irritated) skin and feels really light, so this is probably a range of products that everyone will be able to use and therefore would be great for any gift exchanges! <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

I've heard about the Hypnôse mascaras previously so I was really excited to try out the one that I received. I've always had short lashes, which is why I was so amazed at how well this mascara lengthens my bottom lashes without making them look too spidery. They say the eyes are the windows to your soul, so this set definitely dresses the eyes up and would be a perfect fit for friends or family who love to enhance the features of their eyes.<br />
<br />
Lancôme has prepared so many different gift sets for this holiday season, that just looking at the website left me stumped for choice! Among such a generous variety of gift sets available, there's bound to be something for everyone. The gift sets are available at all Lancôme counters, while stocks last. <br />

Guess it's not news that I love collecting watches. Just like my shoes and belt, I prefer to match my accesories to my outfit of the day for a completed look.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfSzqjZHNCVFBga-CJ5Y2QA-Qi6bYoehRhyphenhyphenB4uBurEf5kywWEU9s3rkDSjCXxVX3KQy2e2xKwaRc2Wi_8lmxHuRdPe2SZ4RRu-isWVhmV0gPwSzJ0_TYD3byM_863-WUytLRqZM0qkgLAC/s1200-Ic42/IMG_2201.JPG" /> </div>
<br />
In this new age of social media, just as easily as we can purchase clothes online, we can also just as easily purchase accessories online.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

From watches, to jewelry and even sunglasses. I recently got a new watch from BERING via Cocomi.sg. What I like about <a href="http://www.cocomi.sg/" target="_blank">COCOMI</a> is that you get discounted prices when purchasing, but you don't have to worry about the authenticity of the products.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-lZxGPplKk-0/VkMFJ5JYIDI/AAAAAAAAM9Y/h9HZUvddJb4/s800-Ic42/Screen%252520Shot%2525202015-11-11%252520at%2525205.02.55%252520PM.png" /> </div>
Plus, <a href="http://www.cocomi.sg/" target="_blank">COCOMI</a> carries a wide variety of brands for both males and females, so you don't have to worry about not being able to find something for yourself (or someone else if it is a gift). <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-4oC2NNjMwBg/VkMFJZaR-6I/AAAAAAAAM9Y/iZtSjVbAq2I/s1200-Ic42/IMG_2220.JPG" /></div>
The BERING watch I got reached my doorstep really quickly and came with its original packaging - box, watch case, and warrenty.<br />
<br />
Here is the watch I picked: <a href="http://www.cocomi.sg/bering-ceramic-32327-701-women-s-watch-4894041914237.html">http://www.cocomi.sg/bering-ceramic-32327-701-women-s-watch-4894041914237.html</a><br />

I like that it's a dainty design because it allows me to match my girly-er outfits. The mother of pearl face is also gorgeous. In fact, this has been my daily watch recently because of how easily it matches with both casual and dressy outfits.<br />

For the longest of time, I haven't been a great fan of most (not all) powder foundations for the main reason that most of them ends up making my face look cakey. They tend to be a problem for me because I have oily skin so my skincare products tend to be aimed at drying it out… which makes it very easy for powders to look cakey on me because they don't sit on my skin well. <br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-IgvRTYlvphk/VjmD1W2dYhI/AAAAAAAAM6U/edMl_g7zoy4/s1200-Ic42/IMG_2195.JPG" /></div>
I was given the SILKYGIRL Magic BB All-In-One Powder Foundation to try out recently... and it has blown my mind. Truth be told, I have never tried out SILKYGIRL products ever. This is my first time trying out their products and I honestly didn't expect too much from them.<br />
<br />
For those of you who might not know (or have heard of SILKYGIRL),its products are formulated for Asian skin. The Magic BB All-In-One Powder Foundation is perfect for everyday use, enriched with natural ingredients.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-hCZ0OkMrrFo/VjmD2LavBII/AAAAAAAAM6U/9abwRD5JNTI/s1200-Ic42/IMG_2197.JPG" /></div>
The powder has a very fine texture and feels very light on the skin; almost as if it’s barely there. It looks and feels very natural when applied. And just like what you'd expect from a BB cream, it's fast and provides good coverage, all while looking like you have no makeup on. Super awesome and perfect for everyday wear! Plus, the pink packaging doesn't hurt x<br />
<br />
I don't usually like applying powder with sponge applicators as they tend to apply too much product, but they are rather handy to have for touch ups. When I'm applying it at home, I use a dense kabuki brush to apply it. If you prefer more coverage with this, simply use a damp sponge to apply it onto your skin. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-9etCtJRQirQ/VjmD3HTFQbI/AAAAAAAAM6U/gNegkmAft3A/s1200-Ic42/IMG_9312.JPG" /></div>
I was sent 3 shades to try out and the shade that best fits my skin is 02 Natural. The shades have a slightly warm/yellow tone to better suit Asian skin tones, and has that pleasant powdery smell that I like.<br />
<br />
Another product you girls should definitely look out for when you are at the drugstore is this - Matte Fever Lipcolour Balm.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-CZociy5mDIQ/VjmD2Vpz6rI/AAAAAAAAM6U/CuZdi-Q0gcQ/s1200-Ic42/IMG_2199.JPG" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8U5K5wWPUc6-JFh0SJgkO1oG8lpZVmBprmaCXdVWbibyH4NDkf3ir42AgEQlgn30PeQrpSTLFCZXi-HRyDy7z4iW004X14yQUqpYWJ6iAMemVlz1UBU0l4gmDE42PZH4B9FrOq4Q-RtH2/s1200-Ic42/IMG_2200.JPG" /></div>
<br />
Again, I wasn't expecting too much from this but the colour payoff from JUST ONE SWIPE is comparable to similar products from other (high end, even) brands. The pigmentation is so good that the colour comes out very true, and is opaque even when applied on the lips.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-CifEfuWZqTU/VjmD3s_trMI/AAAAAAAAM6U/kgo58NTVrQQ/s800-Ic42/SilkyGirlBalmSwatches.jpg" /></div>
The balm has a soft-matte finish and feels balmy and smooth on the lips, despite it being a matte product. I'm a big fan of matte lipsticks but I know that more often than not, they have the tendency to highlight dry patches/flakes on your lips.<br />

Vogue is a gorgeous everyday colour, and it looks super natural on the lips. Think: "my lips but better". It might just be my favourite colour amongst the 3. Lip colours can easily change the way your makeup looks - bringing you from sweet to sultry with just one swipe of colour. <br />
<br />

I would definitely recommend Flame if you like orange lippies - as this one has the perfect balance of red and yellow, so it doesn't make my skin look too washed out/sullen. However, this will also have to depend on your skin tone. If you are too tanned, chances as this colour might be too light for you. <br />

The SILKYGIRL Magic BB All-In-One Powder Foundation comes in 4 shades while the Matte Fever Lipcolour Balm comes in multiple colours. </div>

Introducing my new nail sponsor, The Nail Artistry! Steffi has been my new manicurist for a few months now, and I've gotta say that I've been really pleased with her work!<br />
<br />
First up, I really like that Steffi has a very wide range of colours (you name it, she probably has it) as well as charms! Plus, Steffi is someone who is really meticulous so she would always make sure that your nails look perfect before leaving her place.<br />
<br />
Here are the few designs that I've done through the months!<br />

Those of you who follow me on Instagram might have already known that I recently went to The Farm @ San Benito in the Philippines for The Cetaphil Experience! Cetaphil flew a couple of bloggers from each country (Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore) for The Cetaphil Experience with the winners of the contest they held in each country.<br />
<br />
The Cetaphil Experience is a once in a lifetime opportunity which brought women from all over the region to learn more about skincare and confidence at an award-winning retreat in the Philippines. Besides being a relaxing wellness experience, it is also an empowering educational experience about skincare, with dermatologists and a life coach to support their physical and mental wellness with workshops, discussions, facial tutorial and spa treatments.<br />

I didn't cover much about the workshop in the vlog because we had activities to do and it was a little hard to film while doing the activites, but let me share some of the experience of The Cetaphil Experience with you girls.<br />
<br />
To be honest, when I first got the engagement, I wasn't too sure what The Cetaphil Experience was going to be about. I honestly just thought that it was going to be a super nua (laid back/chill) trip for us to detox and relax.. but it ended up being so much more, and I'm really glad I got to learn more on the trip which made it a lot more fruitful than the new friendships I got to forge. <br />
<br />
On the first day of the Experience, we were split into groups and asked to come up with a commercial regarding what we though was a "Cetaphil Woman", nothing more. Needless to say, we were all stumped, but as we began to brainstorm what we thought a Cetaphil Woman was... we realised that there is a "Cetaphil Woman" in every one. All of us had a different interpretation of our Cetaphil Women, and she can be anything and everything: so our commercial consisted of us stating what our "Cetaphil Woman" was - Strong, Creative, Brave, Honest, Real.<br />
<br />
As the workshops went on, we were asked to share our insecurities, be in it life or about our skin.. and it turns out that more than none, most of us had our fair share of insecurities - and that sharing about them really did help us to realise that our flaws make us human. In fact, while we (the bloggers and winners) were chatting, our flaws and insecurities really helped us to bond and thanks to that (and The Experience, of course) I got to make a lot of new friends from across South East Asia! <br />

We were also asked to do a True or False exercise regarding beauty myths. As a beauty blogger, I've attended many beauty events and have listened to many talks as well as presentations about skincare and beauty in general, but through this True or False challenge, I learned that I had so much more to learn. <br />
<br />
As we learned more about beauty and our skin, we realised that a lot of the skin concerns that we have, others have too. Don't just go around trusting the photoshopped images on magazine, (or even the selfies that we post online, after taking it 100x and picking out the best ones) because what is displayed in the media is always the best face. We learned about Skin Confidence and what it means to us, and what it means to be confident in yourself.<br />
<br />

On the last day of The Experience, we were asked to repeat the same commercial regarding the Cetaphil Woman. Instead of taking the same approach this time, we decided to embrace our flaws, and to see others for their beauty. We stated our own flaws, and got our group mates to list a strength, to symbolize that even if you can only see your flaws (which we usually do), others can still see the strength and beauty in you. It helped us to spread a more positive energy, and allows us to bond and as opposed to being an individual, we are a group, a community.<br />
<br />
What is a Cetaphil Woman then? A Cetaphil Woman is all of us. She is strong, confident, and happy, yet at other times she can be insecure, vulnerable, and sad. It's about knowing who you are and what you are worth - and it's more than that of the worth others give to you based on what little things they know about you. "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent." - Eleanor Roosevelt<br />
<br />
I know that a lot of you here reading this space are teenagers and young ladies, who might feel insecure about themselves because of various skin problems (I was there too, and am still when I break out) but as cliche as it sounds, beauty is only skin deep. Don't let someone else dictate or judge how beautiful you are just because of the way you look. Through these workshops, I really learnt how to value myself more, and to stop putting yourself down because the more you do that, the more you will continue to do that - and it's not healthy. Know that you are not proving who you are to anyone else but yourself.<br />
<br />
At the end of the workshop, all of us left the venue with our Cetaphil Booklets, containing our takeaways from the workshops as well as the commitments we made for ourselves on this trip. I never really took the time to reflect on myself before this, and I'm really glad I made the following commitments to myself.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-vKlOyY2Hlt8/VcAtHMo9OYI/AAAAAAAAMvA/Kl4fFC3cgPw/s1200-Ic42/_DSC7987%252520copy.jpg" /> </div>
<br />
<i>1. Get adequate sleep and drink enough water daily </i><br />
I'm not exactly the healthiest person around and I guess this is one of the main things that I should really work on. I've been an insomniac for a long time now and besides messing with my schedule, it also messes with my skin which makes me unconfident whenever I break out. Drinking more water will also keep me well hydrated in the humid weather we have in Singapore!<br />
<br />
<i>2. Work harder and be responsible</i><br />
I'm not going to lie - I'm a procrastinator. I have been and I think I really need to change that bad habit. :(<br />
<br />
<i>3. Be more positive</i><br />
Growing up in an Asian household, I guess it's safe to say that a lot of us have been subjected to more criticism than praises when growing up. As we grow older, we begin to self doubt and be more negative about everything. Being more positive will allow for a better "aura" and also will let me feel more comfortable in my own skin.<br />
<br />
<i>4. Put on sunblock daily, even when indoors</i><br />
This is something that I don't do everyday (especially on my body) because applying sunblock can sometimes be a hassle. I also have oily skin so sometimes sunblock makes me look a little shiny... BUT sunblock is soooo important as UV rays are one of the largest contributors to many skin problems (dark spots, pre-mature aging.. to name a few).<br />
<br />
<i>5. Properly cleanse my face and skin, and follow up with a proper regime</i><br />
This is something that I always try to do, but sometimes get lazy (on lazy days I just apply Vit-C on my face) as my skincare routine has quite a few steps! <br />

Over the years of training and standing on my tippy toes, both of my feet have callus on them (mainly on the big toe, and a little beneath the little toe). Then as I got older, I started wearing high heels which caused friction around the same area, and to add on, as well as my heel area.<br />
<br />
I have always been self conscious of my callus, but I don't do pedicures to get rid of them because my feet are so ticklish! I have gotten a pedicure done once and I felt sooo bad because it was so hard for the manicurist to prep my feet for the pedicure since I kept squirming around whenever she touched my sole.<br />
<br />
Then there's buffing with a file, but because of the amount of callus I have this usually take a really long time with minial results - totally not worth the effort. Even my boyfriend (who has been through the army) has nicer feet/soles than mine... WHY!! His feet is so smooth and free from callus despite the fact that he runs quite often too #lifesnotfair :(<br />
<br />
So I literally jumped at the chance when Clarisonic offered to send their Pedi Kit for me to try out. I was sooooo happy when I got it and felt like a little girl on Christmas Day opening her presents, and kept showing my feet to B after I was done using it for the first time like "see see omg so smooth now omg" and kept shoving my foot to him LOL. Later that day he came up to me and told me "I'm glad you got to try this out.. because if not when you see it at Sephora you'd surely buy it" :x<br />
<br />
Okay, backstory aside.. let me share with you about the actual Clarisonic Pedi kit. <br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-pJ0mo6UTJOY/VdCHUmEPUVI/AAAAAAAAMz8/2TbvsCyBwNU/s1200-Ic42/IMG_0571.JPG" /></div>
The Pedi Kit is a 2~4 step kit for caring and pampering your feet, and takes me around 5~15 minutes when I use it. Reason being that 2 of the steps are for twice a week use, and the other 2 are for daily.<br />
<br />
Aside from the device itself, there are 5 other accompanying products to the Pedi Kit.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-jIRlVIBjmZU/VdCHjP29AuI/AAAAAAAAMz8/PyqauuNDKec/s800-Ic42/IMG_0630.JPG" /></div>
<br />
1. Smoothing Disc<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-B7aRb5cOw8A/VdCHKXf8o2I/AAAAAAAAMz8/1vXmg0PlftM/s800-Ic42/IMG_0575.JPG" /></div>
"Designed to smooth and soften dull, rough foot skin, the textured metal disc utilizes sonic oscillating technology toefficiently and safely slough away rough dry areas without damaging the health of the foot skin."<br />
<br />
2. Wet/Dry Buffing Brush Head<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-TWCmo-IJ8Uc/VdCHWmwCQPI/AAAAAAAAMz8/7KzcIiebLx8/s800-Ic42/IMG_0578.JPG" /></div>
A combination of short rigid filaments and longer, flexible filaments allows for optimal migration of the Pedi-Buff for more even coverage to effectively cleanse, exfoliate and buff dry damaged feet.<br />
<br />
3. a)Pedi Balm (left), b) Pedi Buff (right)<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-pFSiqWMqYcc/VdCIkefhh8I/AAAAAAAAMz8/OSJNCuZZURo/s800-Ic42/IMG_0582.JPG" /></div>
a) After exfoliating, use this non-greasy and no-slip hydrating balm tolock in moisture, softening and hydrating the feet. This balm contains a moisturizing blend of shea butter, honey and apricot oil that instantly absorbs into the skin for a naturally soft finish.<br />
b) Used in conjunction with the buffing brush head, this powerfulcleansing scrub contains a triple-kick exfoliating blend of lactic acid, apricot seed and a tri-fruit complex to dissolve away rough, dead skin and refine texture.<br />
<br />
4. Pedi Boost<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-G8z9eRe7X_0/VdCHZpIrmHI/AAAAAAAAMz8/YiWdIH3SbQQ/s1200-Ic42/IMG_0580.JPG" /></div>
Used twice-weekly, this effective foot peel is specifically designed toexfoliate and renew skin without the use of harsh ingredients. The combination of lactic and glycolic acid elevates the foot care regimen, exfoliating beyond the capabilities of physical exfoliants, renewing and rejuvenating dull, tired feet.<br />
<blockquote>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u>How to Use</u></div>
Daily: Begin foot transformation by scrubbing away set-in debris and smoothing dry, rough skin with the Wet/Dry Buffing Brush Head and Pedi-Buff. Follow with the Pedi-Balm to hydrate and protect feet with a slip-resistant finish.<br />
<br />
Twice Weekly: Use the Pedi Smoothing Disc on thoroughly dry feet before the Pedi-Buff and Wet/Dry Buffing Brush Head. Treat with Pedi-Boost for total foot renewal and additional skin softening. Finish with Pedi-Balm to hydrate and protect.</blockquote>
<br />
I think this is the first time ever that I've shown a photo of my feet, but here you go. As you can see, the callus on my (also dry) heel is thick and unsightly :(. This was before I've began to use the Pedi Kit.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-HmlvTgntMGo/VdCHbjbGyQI/AAAAAAAAMz8/p8Grn3Nh6WU/s800-Ic42/IMG_0583.JPG" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
Before I get started on how I use the Pedi Kit, let me talk a little about the device. As many of you might know, I am currently using the Clarisonic Aria and I love it because the shape of the product makes it very comfortable to grip. The Clarisonic Pedi is exactly like the Aria in terms of the size (as well as charger) but the only difference is that the Clarisonic Pedi is able to deliver a much stronger vibration than the Aria - which is why you can't use your regular facial Clarisonic devices (unless they have the speeds for body like the Pro or Plus models) for this, as they won't be able to deliver enough power. Also, just like all other Clarisonic devices, the brush heads do not spin, but instead, they oscillate back and forth so that it will be effective yet gentle on your skin.<br />
<br />
One of the down sides I found about the Clarisonic Pedi was that the battery doesn't hold it's charge for as long as the other devices. It might be that I use it on the highest speed when buffing, or that it has a strong output, but the battery seems to last for a shorter amount of time before it needs charging. Although, this is not really a huge problem for me as I just put it to charge every 2~3 days after using it.<br />
<br />
Also, with the smoothing disc, there isn't an option for how long to buff it for, but with the wet/dry buffing brush head, you can choose between 2 or 3 minutes options by simply pressing the up/down arrow while the device is turned off.<br />
<br />
Using the Clarisonic Pedi is really quite easy, just twist on/off the specific heads, and buff your feet in circular motions.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/--ymwP-8mPtk/VdCOzyADCGI/AAAAAAAAM0s/nDloVTOcCPk/s800-Ic42/IMG_1303-ANIMATION.gif" /></div>
For the smoothing disc, it is recommended you use it on dry skin so I tend to use it before my shower. I then follow up with the wet/dry buffing brush head after applying the pedi-buff at the end of my shower as my feet would be softer then, and it would make it easier for me to buff off the dead skin.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

Post-shower is really simple as well! Twice a week, I'll apply 3~4 drops of Pedi-Boost onto each feet, before following up and massaging my feet with the Pedi Balm!<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

Just 5~15 minutes a day for smoother and softer feet! Plus, it helps that you get to pamper yourself a little after a work day. I find that the perfect time to do this is actually after applying a hair treatment, so that when you are done with this, you can wash out your hair treatment as well! #multitasking<br />

Featurning <a href="http://ashincans.sg/">AshInCans</a> for today's advert! I actually remember AshInCans as one of the first few blogshops that appealed to my style back when I was a teenager, so I was really quite excited when they contacted me for an advert!<br />

AshInCans also manufacture their clothes from time to time, and one of the pieces sent to me was the <a href="http://ashincans.sg/shop/aic-lilac-floral-pocket-skater-dress/">Lilac Pocket Skater Dress</a>. Dresses with pockets get extra love!<br />

I'm also a big fan of rompers as they let me look demure like I'm wearing a dress, but maintain the convenience of wearing shorts. Wearing the<a href="http://ashincans.sg/shop/aic-purple-floral-skorts-romper/">Purple Floral Skorts Rompers</a> here!<br />

Headed to the pc show that happened this weekend and got myself an early birthday present! I did a good bit of research before deciding to buy myself a full-frame DSLR. I picked the 6D because it's really light and has wifi feature.. guess it's time to learn how to use it. Thank you Wee Kiat from the Best Denki booth for giving me some extra goodies! <br />
<br />
B also brought us to the Kallang Wave on Sunday.. which was a bad decision because it was soooo crowded, but not that bad I suppose. We also didn't expect the mall to be so big actually, since we didn't explore much when we went there to buy his soccer boots previously. I wanted to try out the indoor rock climbing that day but there were so many people there (probably due to the SEA games) and there was a looooong queue. Wore a super high pair of wedges from PrettyFIT that day to match my outfit and it was uber comfortable (just like the other pair I had). Plus, the nude colour of the heels helped to elongate my legs.<br />
<br />
Can't believe how hot the weather has been lately. Have been sick the past week due to the hot and cold weather boo, but summer is here so whip out all the colourful clothes and maxi dresses! <br />

Casio recently sent me their latest camera (TR60) from their TR series to try out and review for you guys.. and boy am I excited! <br />
<br />
I've been a huge fan of the TR series, which is a series targetted specifically for selfies, and have nothing but praises for it to my friends and readers. Anyone who has taken a selfie with me on my TR150 just loved the photos; I mean, how could they not? You have perfect bright skin and the camera is super compact to bring around (the front facing screen helps, too).<br />
I have had my TR150 for a good while already (around 3 years) and until recently, it was still what I have been taking my selfies with (yes it's still working). Since it's quite an old camera, the specifications obviously isn't as good as what is in the market these days.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

First up, I love that the camera comes in 4 gorgeous colours - White, Pink, Turqoise, and Purple. Casio sent me the purple one which was awesome because purple is my favourite colour. Appearance wise, I liked that there were 2 options provided, either plain or glossy (the one I have), and the attention to details like the faceted ring around the lens.<br />
<br />
Just like the TR150 I own, the grip of the camera is very comfortable, because of the curved sides . Just for a gauge of the size of the TR60, here is it next to my TR150 as well as my iPhone 5S.<br />

As the TR60 is one of the premium Casio products, it is made in their factory in Japan!<br />

<br />
The screen of the TR60 is fully touch screen, and does not work if you use your nails to press on the screen. Also, it has a removable battery that's hidden under the top casing, where you can also slot in the microSD card.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-wRjWZg54MpA/VVGan-MklSI/AAAAAAAAMhI/mLaFjZScZwA/s800/IMG_0189.JPG" /></div>
<br />
Here are the various other modes available on the TR60<br />

<br />
Loved this photo of the flowers I took with the TR60's premium auto mode! No edits on the photo and the colours look uber vibrant!<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
One interesting addition was the fact that makeup mode is available in the premium auto selection, so as long as your face is detected in a square on the photo, the makeup mode sets in. A new mode added was Make Up Bracketing, which takes 3 photos for you simultaneously, with 3 different skin tones.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-KNpTT4CYOYc/VVGapUDE_WI/AAAAAAAAMhI/iiBTAG1dAuE/s800/MakeUpBracketting.jpg" /></div>
<br />
Another feature I personally liked was the Selfie Art mode, which can be swtiched on by double tapping on the side of the camera (above the shutter) between the two raised dots.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-nxTMGM_wSjo/VVGaeWIogzI/AAAAAAAAMhI/x_K0SCDCpAI/s800/IMG_0131.JPG" /></div>

My personal favourite is Vivid, but 1:1 mode sets the ratio of the photo to that of a square, which makes it perfect to upload to Instagram.. and brings me to the next point:<br />
<br />
<b>Exilim Connect.</b><br />
<br />
Exilim Connect is an app that allows you to transfer your photos from your camera remotely to your device via Wifi. For the longest of time, I have been using a Wifi memory card to transfer my photos to my phone, but it saps a huge amount of battery when I use it (since it turns the connection on all the time) and the memory card isn't exactly cheap as well. With the Exilim Connect app, you can choose only to turn on the Wifi connection when you are ready to send photos over to your device.<br />

<br />
There is also an autosend function which will (as it says) automatically send the images to your phone without you having to manually select which ones you want. <br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
If you don't want to turn on the automatic sending, of course feel free to select only the photos you want on your phone.<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="https://igcdn-photos-c-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xaf1/t51.2885-15/11244657_776169045830034_274393585_n.jpg" /></div>
ZA recently sent their new Total Hydration range for me to try out. It is one of the 3 new ranges (Total Hydration aka Smooth & Supple, Radiant & Translucent, and Plump & Resilient) and the one that is the most suitable for my age group (early twenties).<br />
<br />
My make up tends to look a little dry on my forehead usually, and gets too oily at the forehead as the day goes on as well, because that is my trouble spot and the products I use there are more drying products to help with prevention of blemishes. I usually dislike hydrating products as they can easily be too rich for my skin and cause me to break out, but it is also exactly what I need to help with the dryness on my forehead, especially before I apply my makeup.<br />
<br />
One interesting thing about the Total Hydration range is the fact that apart from targeting the age group, they go further and target your skin type, separating the products into two ranges: Fresh, and Moist. Like the name suggests, Fresh seems to be more suitable for normal to oily skin, and Moist would be more suitable for normal to drier skin types. <br />
<br />
With my skin type, I am actually a fan of Fresh as it keeps my skin feeling, well, very fresh, and the texture of the products are very light and non-oily. I do switch a couple of products between the Fresh and Moist ranges at night because I sleep in an airconditioned room and the air can get a little dry, and not to mention that the weather these days is getting so hot so my skin could use a little extra hydration. <br />
<br />
My favourite product from the entire range is actually the Fresh Foam Cleanser (with Vitamin E). Vitamin E helps to keep the skin hydrated and the cleanser lathers up beautifully with ease. And the best part? It has tiny little blue beads in the cleanser (that the Moist Foam Cleanser doesn't have) to help exfoliate your skin gently.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
Also, because I love whitening products, I add the True White Essence lotion and Perfect Solution Youth Whitening Serum into my regime. <br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

When I do need even more of a moisture boost, I apply the Deep Hydrating Moisture Gel onto my skin. It's very light and absorbs into the skin very quickly. The only thing I don't really like about it is that it comes in a tub :(<br />
<blockquote>
"The dewy gel deeply supplies moisture directly to the skin and immediately increases the skin’s moisture level more than 200%.The gel can be added into the current skincare regime as a Super Booster, to boost up the effect of the skincare with its moist power."</blockquote>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-9xSRiu1e-aE/VVWnQNXVPXI/AAAAAAAAMjU/3VDY1nhi81U/s800/IMG_0518.JPG" /></div>
Another tip with this is that I applied a thick layer of this before I did my makeup, and wiped off the excess before application.. which gave my skin a boost in moisture levels - and helped my makeup application go more smoothly!<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
Another product that's great for girls with oily skin like myself is the Pore Care Essence. One of the biggest problem I personally face would have to be enlarged pores- which is not very helpful given that the weather has been so hot lately they seem to be further enlarged :(.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
What it is is a pore-targeting serum minimizes greasiness, pore visibility and gives the skin a smooth-textured, vibrant glow. Use a little of this after toner over your problem areas (for me it's the T zone).</div>
<br />
<img src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-hlSGqyqkLPk/VVWnTH0gu1I/AAAAAAAAMjU/NQQHxf00zHU/s800/IMG_0523.JPG" /> </div>
Look at how light the texture of the products are, and none of the leaves a oily nor sticky residue after application. Major hearts for that!<br />

I always get so many compliments from B when I wear clothes from Sassy Dream because he really likes me in girly stuff hahaha.<br />

Anyone who has known me long enough would know that I'm a huge skincare and makeup junkie. I started out blogging as a beauty blogger, which makes it no surprise since I am super vain already.<br />
<br />
Amongst all the skincare and makeup products, what ranks top on my list of "must-haves" would definitely be sunscreen. You can diligently put on all the skincare and makeup products in the world, but sorry to break it to you: without sunscreen, most of your efforts would go to waste, simply because harmful UV rays are one of the major causes of most skin problems (ranging from pigmentation to premature skin ageing).<br />
<br />
I can understand the hesitation for some people to put on sunscreen on a daily basis. One of my peeves when it comes to using sunscreen is that they are sometimes too oily/greasy, or leave a sticky residue... not too comfortable to wear and definitely not great for someone with oily skin like myself. <br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-3uJz22B2CrY/VTiJZuPF2dI/AAAAAAAAMX8/rCmM4w8OaSo/s1200/IMG_0119.JPG" /></div>
I have been trying out a two new best-selling sunscreens from KOSÉ SEKKISEI, and not only do they have SPF 50+ PA++++ (SPF protects from UVA rays, and PA 4+ gives the highest protection against UVB rays), but they are also very lightweight and blend into the skin so well. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that these sunscreens can actually create aprotective barrier on your skin against harsh pollutants like smoke! <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-3PovCdmFraI/VTiJkGkaEBI/AAAAAAAAMX8/q0COCfrltoM/s1200/IMG_9996.JPG" /></div>
I recently went on a trip to Shanghai and I brought both sunscreens with me. I've heard so much about the bad air pollution in Shanghai so I was preparing myself to break out real badly... but to my surprise I didn't break out at all (neither from the pollution nor from thesunscreen). I made sure I diligently applied my skincare and protected my skin with the KOSÉ Sun Protect Essence Gel without fail every morning.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-N0aff4l3BIg/VTiJWy1Ev8I/AAAAAAAAMX8/eHq8p1M_QPA/s1200/CIMG0041.JPG" /></div>
Plus, it was cold while I was there but since my DRx skincare products are for my oily-combination skin, I didn't have anything hydrating... Surprisingly, the Essence Gel kept my skin very well hydrated even in the cold weather.<br />
<br />
Both the Gel and Milk textures are suitable for all skin types and contain skin brightening oriental herbal ingredients! I personally prefer the Essence Gel as it feels lighter, but I do use the Essence Milk on my body especially on a hot, sunny day as it is waterproof and sweat-resistant.<br />
<br />
Don't let the weather fool you - even if it's a cloudy or rainy day, you still need to apply sunscreen on your skin as the UVB rays can penetrate through the layers of cloud! <br />
<br />
In terms of texture... while I was expecting that I would prefer the Essence Milk (which feels more liquidy), I actually ended up liking the Essence Gel more (lightweight gel texture).<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Left: Essence Milk | Right: Essence Gel</i></div>
Both the Gel and Milk absorb very quickly, and are ultra lightweight. On application, it didn't feel as though either had left a residue on my skin, neither was there a white cast when I took flash photos. What I really like is how great these sunscreens work as a makeup base too.<br />
<br />
Since they blend in so well, I can immediately apply my makeup instead of waiting around for the product to absorb! Reapplying is also a breeze, as I can simply pat on the sunscreen over my makeup without it smudging (I’m wearing concealer and loose powder on my skin in the photos). <br />

Keep your skin well protected from the sun with KOSÉ SEKKISEI’s Sun Protect Essence Milk and Gel in Singapore's sunny weather! You can always head down to any KOSÉ counter and decide for yourself which texture is your favourite. <br />
<br />
P.S. For my budget conscious readers, the SEKKISEI Sun Protect Essence Gel N retails at just $50 for 80g, while the Sun Protect Essence Milk N is $46 for 60g! Absolutely love how they are kept so affordable!<br />
<br />
