A DATE with RAIN

It’s a blazing lazy Sunday yet I have to drag myself out of bed, this is really unlike me as usually I would have just sleep in until the sun shines on my butt =X

The lazy me only had one motivation to go out on such a lazy day, which is an invitation to the event from one of my favorite brands.

It’s none other than:


The venue for the tea party is:

@ Bishan Junction 8’s Nature Republic outlet. It is also their first flag store in Singapore before the opening of the 313 Somerset and Jurong Point outlets.

How did I get to know about Nature Republic?

Err it is mainly because of its handsome spokesperson, Rain. 

On one of my random days, while waiting for my friends to arrive, I was walking aimlessly like usual. It was then when I saw this huge Rain cardboard cutout stand in front of Nature Republic's outlet and was immediately attracted to venture into it without any hesitation.

Did I mention that I am a HUGE sucker when it comes to Rain ever since his debut in the Korean drama: Full House?

After conquering my serious infatuation for Rain, I took a good look at Nature Republic's products and to my surprise, their products are innovative, affordable and have a good variety of both cosmetics and skincare products. 

With its easy on the pocket pricing, there is something for all everyone in any age group to try out. There is even a range especially babies and one full range for our vain male counterparts.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Back to the tea party,

 The enthusiastic ladies flooding Nature Republic's Junction 8 outlet.

Still half asleep, I made my way down all the way from the west down to Junction 8. Though I was thirty minutes earlier than expected, there was already quite a fair bit of ladies gathering in and around the outlet.

I saw my favorite Nature Republic’s BAs there, they are my regular BA from Junction 8 and a lovely BA that I met at Jurong Point. I guessed that they brought together most of the BAs from the other outlets as they expected heavy human traffic for this event, this was indeed a pretty smart move.

My regular BA recognized me straight away even though I was like stoning at the corner as there were so much ladies crowding around and I am not a fan of noisy and crowded places. It is always nice to see familiar faces around.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Exactly at 3pm, while I was still looking at their new range of products that were launched specially for the tea party.

My regular BA hurried me over to join in the queue for the tea party goodie bag. It was then that I realized that it was only for the first 50 lucky ladies and while stocks lasted even though the event do require pre-registration. I think I was pretty lucky to have gotten the goodie bag out of the sea of ladies.

 I loved the fact that even the bag itself is chic yet it is reusable and functional.

The lovely reusable bag filled with goodies like: Rain’s HOT poster, masks, nail polish, soap and etc.

Many thanks to Nature Republic in putting so much effort in packing the goodie bags.

 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After getting fascinated with the bag, I proceed to take a look at the products and noticed that there were a few discontinued products like the soap bars hidden in amidst of the excitement of the new launches. 

This news might be disappointing for some of the fans as the soap bar were well raved by quite a fair bit of lovelies.

But fret not, Nature Republic still have lots of fabulous products for one to get infatuated with.

This are my proof of my deep infatuated with Nature Republic’s Products ^_^

I personally find that the newly launched products are pretty interesting with its uses and with its enticing packing and generous amount, I willingly brought quite a fair bit of them to try.

Those that are definitely worth mentioning are:
Fresh Green Tea Leaf Cream @ $15.10
Ice Jelly Primer Melon @ $19.80
French Lime Pore Powder Concealer @ $16.40
French Lime Pore Base Mint @ $27.50
Homemade Recipe Cucumber Pack @ $9.20 (Heard lotsa raves for this before)

Upon trying the testers, I was satisfied with the immediate effect though I would definitely test drive it for a few weeks to see the effect before giving my reviews on them.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The one point I like about Nature Republic is their customer service, they were really thoughtful to prepare a buffet spread for us to tuck into if we get hungry while shopping for their products. 

I was famished by the time I finished shopping as the whole place feels like a sauna with all the overwhelming response, despite that I still find the tea party an enjoyable experience.

The BAs are really tactful in handing the customers and are all very knowledgeable about their products. I always had a great time talking with them.

Thanks for all the hard work and kudos to Nature Republic and all their staff for this event, I would definitely love to join you girls for any events in the future.

To all the lovely ladies who attended, please pardon Nature Republic as this was the first time they attempted to hold an event like this. The BAs were all very patient with our bombarding questions and it was nice of them to hold such a fabulous event for their regular fans like us.

Girls, if you would love to try Nature Republic’s newly launched products, please do not hesitate to head down to their outlets @ Bishan Junction 8, 313 Somerset and Jurong Point. The well-mannered BAs will be more than willingly to share with you their knowledge on the products.

Last but not least,  
HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY NATURE REPUBLIC SINGAPORE <3

Till next time ^_^

My LIL Lioele and Elisha Coy haul

The shopaholic in me is breaking loose again, as you girls all know that I REALLY love to shop.

It is that bad a situation until to the extent that my room is so jammed pack with cosmetic and skincare products till I have hardly space to move around.

With the shopaholic me overruling my logical side of my brain, that alone is not enough in stopping me from indulging in fabulous products and flooding my blog with reviews on them.

The attractive promotion was so tempting and irresistible that I have made my way down after work to take a look even though I am half dead today.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These are the three promotions that are currently on:

 The goodies bag for the day ^_^

Spend a minimum of $40.00 sgd nett and receive a cute Princess Gift Set worth $70.00 sgd.

This gift set contains:
A functional baby pink coloured cosmetic pouch with glittery stars.
Lioele Sun Elastic Pact with SPF 26 (Re-fill).
Miniature size Lioele Water Drop BB Cream.
Miniature size Lioele BB Cream.
Miniature size Elisha Coy Always Nuddy BB Cream.

During the promotion, every day from 12pm to 2pm, any single purchase will be entitled to a blooming lip gloss worth $14.00 sgd.

Yufit HOT Face Shaper Bra and Age Lock Shaper Bra is having a mouth drooling promotion with its buy 2 get 1 free promotion. 

Not forgetting that John Little itself is having a promotion on for every $80.00 sgd you spend, you would be entitled to an $18.00 sgd discount voucher. 

This is definitely a good time to indulge yourself in some retail therapy.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These are my lovely hauls from the fabulous promotion going on for Lioele and Elisha Coy at one of my most frequent visited store, which is John Little @ Jurong Point.

As you can see from the picture that I am stocking up on the Yufit HOT Face Shaper Bra as I would love to use it for a longer period of time to test drive it to see a more visible effect on my chin. 

For my honest reviews, please go to: Yufit HOT Face Shaper Bra Review

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have always been a fan for Lioele and Elisha Coy products as with it pretty packaging, user friendly products and that their BAs are always friendly and approachable. It was not only once but on a few occasions that I interacted with them.

Take an example today, I met Sarina at the special counter for the promotions that Lioele and Elisha Coy is currently holding.

She’s a pretty young lady with a chirpy bubbly character. Her explanation of the products is clear and precise as she answered my questions and we had a nice chat before I even committed on buying anything yet. This is what I call good customer service, thumbs up to Sarina.

I really enjoyed my time spend there even though I was quite tired running to almost eight different sites today. For all of you that are not sure why I always run to different sites, I am a landscape designer working in a design and built company thus I always have to do site surveys, meet clients and come up with designs for their gardens.

If you ever see me all tired with my makeup fading, please pardon me as it is most likely that I had a hard day at work. 

Girls, the Bootylicious promotion for Lioele and Elisha Coy products @ Jurong Point’s John Little will be ending on the 26-9-2010 which is this coming Sunday.

Thus to avoid any disappointment as the lovely freebies are on while stocks lasts, hurry up and make your way down as the friendly BAs will be more than willing to help you and you can get hands on experience with the products.

Till next time ^_^

A little EFFORT definitely goes a LONG WAY

My first FOTD, 

Is a simple everyday look using neutral muted hues for the eyes and face while using the lips as a focal point

To me, it is fast to achieve, easy to do and i really love it because it is natural looking and not over the top.

The look for the day is TA-DAH~

 While waiting for my train to arrive.

What I am currently using every morning to prep up,

I would always start my mornings with cleansing my face with cleansing foam like Nature Republic’s Flower Tea Shower.

Give my skin an additional boost with DHC’s Vitamin C Essence.

Tone my skin with Skin Food’s Lettuce and Cucumber Toner, love the cooling sensation as it helps to perk me up.

Moisturize my face and neck area using Shiseido’s The Skincare Day Moisture Protection.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What products am I using for this look,

 Sun block, anti-shine, eye primer and makeup base. (Left to right)

Eye shadow, mascara, eyeliner, blusher, lip balm and lip stick. (Left to right)

Concealer, foundation and powder pact. (Left to right)

The details are as follows:

Etude House’s White Aqua Guard Waterproof Sun Block to prevent aging of skin and harmful sun rays.

Smash Box’s Anti-Shine in Neutral on my t-zone area to reduce the shine on my oily nose and to allow makeup to last longer.

Skin Food’s Mushroom Multi-care BB Cream as my make up base for my entire face.

Benefit’s Stay Don’t Stray as the 360 degrees eye primer for my shadows to stay vibrant throughout the day.

ZA’s Concealer Perfection (Tone 1), as it works miracles to cover my flaws that I hate.

ZA’s True White 2 Way Foundation as it oxidizes evenly and provides great coverage.

--- 

For the eyes,

Majolica Majorca’s MJ Majolook Luminoustic (BR 799) as this is one palette gives me all the nice and complimenting hues of browns.

Koji’s Spring Heart Waterproof Eyeliner (Dark brown 02) as it is easy to apply and work around with.

Maybelline’s The Magnum Voluming Express (Water proof) as produces natural looking curls and pumps up my lashes nicely.

--- 

For the cheeks,

Kate’s Dual Blush in RD-1 (Old ver.) for a sheer blushing overall look.

---  

For the lips,

Neutrogena's Lip Moisturizer is the way to go, for it does not have any weird flavor and is colourless. The application of the lip balm is to ensure that the lip is moisturized and does not accentuate the fine lines when applying of the lip stick or gloss on the lips.

Stage’s Wonderlust Lip Stick in Monica 14, as it starts with a sheer colour, is layer-able and smells like vanilla.

---  

Last but not least,

Urban Decay’s De-slick Powder Compact, to help the makeup to stay longer and absorb excessive oil from my t-zone areas.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With just slight touches up and I am ready to go. Usually, it will take me less than 30 minute for the entire process. Thus, I personally find that it is actually quite easy to do.

Hope you girls enjoy my first attempt at a FOTD, makeup can be really easy with just the basics done and lots of practice as practice does make it perfect and less time consuming.

I am not claiming to be a professional here, all I want to do is share my love for makeup products.

Till next time ^_^

Skin Food For Better Skin

Today I will be talking about *Drum rolls* the:
Skin Food’s Lettuce and Cucumber Series

 They mainly focus on, hydrating, moisture retention and moisturizing.
  
The involved culprits are namely the:
  • Toner
  • Water Drop Essence
  • Water Jelly Cream 
Back when I was younger, I’ve often been put off with tedious skin care regime that many girls do thus it have been only a one step only cleanser since forever.

It was until recently, about last year till I become such a skincare junkie as I realized my skin condition deteriorate with the continuous makeup I put on without caring for my skin.

Luckily I was blessed with fairly good skin and thus was able to slowly salvage the condition.

This was the simple 3 step regime that the BA at Skin Food urges me to try. It’s just to cleanse, add this 3 step regime and moisturize. To me, it was simple, easy and time saving so I decided to give it a go.

This is super time saving starter for lazy girls like me or girls who want to have a stepping stone into proper skin care regimes.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We will be starting the journey then,

After removing your make up and cleansing, start out with the:
Lettuce and Cucumber Toner

Just soak the cotton pad with a suitable amount of the product on the cotton pad and pat it around your face and neck avoiding the delicate areas like the eyes and the lip.

Priced @ $34.90 dollars for a 135ml bottle

Pros
  • Cooling sensation upon application.
  • No pimple or rash outbreak – The SA mentioned that though all toner contains alcohol but theirs contains very mild traces of alcohol and is of a different component then usual drugstore toners. I once got a serious pimple and rash outbreak all together for trying a drugstore toner and ended up making me hate skin care products all together.
  • The glass bottle seems really durable, as I dropped it twice and there is not a single chipping or breakage. Though please don’t try it on purposely =_=;;
Cons
  • Didn’t help in the removal of excess sebum and dirt.
  • Cute packaging though the dispensing of the products takes quite an effort at the start.

Next,
Lettuce and Cucumber Water Drop Essence

  
Pump the bottle to dispense the product out, one pump or less is enough for the entire face. Spread the product evenly using your hands before patting it gently on your entire face.

Priced @ $38.30 dollars for a 45ml bottle

Pros
  • Cooling sensation upon application.
  • Instant absorption upon skin contact.
  • Refreshing, do not have an overpowering scent.
  • Non-oily or sticky feeling.
Cons
  • Bad control on amount applied will result in rash breakout, though it usually subside given it a day or two.

Lastly,
Lettuce and Cucumber Water Jelly Cream

  
Start by using a spatula or with clean and dry fingers to dig out a small amount out. Spread the product evenly using your hands before patting it gently on your entire face.

Priced @ $38.30 dollars for a 50ml bottle

Pros
  • Easily absorbed through require more time than the essence.
  • Doesn’t feel heavy on my skin.
Cons
  • Bad control on amount applied will result in rash breakout, through it usually subside given it a day or two. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The showdown between the:
Water Drop Essence and Water Jelly Cream

I squeeze out some of each of the product on my hand,

Before the test with both of the products on my hand.

After massaging both of the products on my hand to see the results.

On the left,
The Water Jelly Cream has a light creamy texture that absorbs pretty fast and produces a glossy finish. 

On the right,
The Water Drop Essence have a waxy creamy texture to it, it is a gel type product that turns into water droplets instantly upon massaging into the skin.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Comments
Initially it did wonders to my skin as though I have combination skin, I have really dry cheeks. There was a significant improvement on the suppleness and smoothness of my skin. Application of makeup base and foundation glides on better too.

Through the few months that I have been using it, the effect just seemed to stop at a stagnant stage. I guess it probably means that I have to seek out other products to see a prominent change in my skin again.

It’s great for starters to work around with and for the very fact that it gives me such bouncy cheeks.

Girls, please take care of your skin even if it means lesser money for clothes as you only have one face and there are no refunds or exchanges. With good skin even makeup becomes easier.

My Verdict
7 out of 10 stars, for being idiot proof to people like me.

Will I buy it again?
Though it has been my savior and I will be grateful for all my life. I will not be buying it again as my skin need to change it’s regime to see an improvement.

I would recommend this to girls out there who have hydrating issues and wants to prep their skin up.

Till next time ^_^

With the WILL POWER that even overcomes HUNGER

Last Thursday on the 9 of Sep, after being a slap left right inside out at work, I ran down all the way to Isetan Orchard.

Once I reached, I was greeted with a sea of ladies.

They were all munching away at the delectable miniature cupcakes and brownies. I was super hungry as I skipped dinner but my enthusiast-ism takes over the better of me.

Are you all curious already?

I went for the: Laneige’s Mystic Fall Cocktail Party 2010.

If you girls were there, you can easily recognize me as I am the weird girl who keep taking pictures with her baby pink coloured camera.

The event mainly focuses on how to wear this seasons colours and how to create semi smoky eye makeup that is even wearable in the day.

Not to forget, all this is mainly created using Laneige’s Mystic Veil Fall 2010 limited edition collection.


This fall collection includes the:
  • Mystic Veil Foundation – Cream textured foundation with SPF 33PA++
  • Mystic Veil Blusher – Cream type blusher with a sheer finish.
  • Mystic Veil Eye Palette – A 4 colour pressed powered eye shadow palette.
  • Snow Crystal Intense Lipstick – Contains amino acid and comes in 2 different colours.
The GWP that includes a tote with the Mystic Veil print is super lovely too.

I loved the fact that this season product’s packaging comes with an elegant gothic feel to it. It makes it feel more luxurious to own one of these products.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The makeup artist for the day:

Mr. Larry Yeo

It wasn’t my first time that I have seen him in action. His makeup demonstrations are always light-hearted, enjoyable and easy to understand. I think it’s because of his funny antics that often make all the girls giggle while he continues his demonstrations. He is such a lovable person, cheers to Laneige for getting the right artist.

I personally always enjoy the session a lot though sometimes I feel guilty when he cover about common mistakes that should be avoided and I am a culprit of it. Ha-ha but I always learn something new from it.

He also always stresses that:
Prepping the skin is very important before makeup. Applying moisturizer and sun block is a must. Girls, please do not be stingy and dispense out enough product out instead of just dots of sun block at the selected area.

Remember to apply it to all the skin area exposed to the sun, like the face, neck, shoulder if you are wearing cropped tops. I admit I am a culprit and only apply to the face area.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The first product that was introduced was the: Mystic Veil Foundation

He nicely asked the lovely BAs to give us each some of the foundation on our hand to let us have a firsthand experience to feel the texture of the product. I love hands-on as it lets me understand the product better.

The cream foundation sample that I gotten.I love the cooling sensation upon application with a nice light aqua smell. It is easy to blend and it feels light on my skin.

This is the model for the day and her personal magician. She only had basic makeup on which is namely the: Mystic Veil Foundation and Laneige’s concealer.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Eyes

He used the: Dual Shadow Eye Colour Pencil - In Grey and Cream-silver-ish tone

It helps to create a creamy based for layering of other powder shadow if desired too.

Note:
Larry mentioned to always starts with dark eye colours first and lighten with light eye shadows. It is because that it is always easier to lighten then darken with light base on the lids. It is too not advisable to use a white cream or shadow as base to layer colours on as no matter how much you layer on, at times the desired intensity just does show.

First tip of the day:
Dust loose powder under the eye area to catch any dropping eye shadow powder, this prevents it from dirtying your face makeup. Though, please remember to brush or dust off the power after you finish the eye makeup otherwise it will show up strangely on photos.

 
Using the Mystic Veil Eye Palette, he uses the pretty sheer looking pink shadow to lighten the look of the intense grey smoky effect of the eye to give it a more mellow feel.

He then used the white shadow for the inner corners of the eye to give the model eyes a perked up effect.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Application of Mascara

Curl eye lashes with curler before applying mascara
  
Second tip of the day:
After dipping the wand into the mascara bottle, wave the wand in the air for a few seconds to ensure that the mascara on the wand is slightly dry before applying it on the lashes in a zigzag motion.
This will help to ensure that the curls last longer and your lashes will stayed curled even after applying the mascara.

If you prefer to use the hot eye lash curling iron, please do so only after applying mascara, as it acts as a protective layer for your lashes and it makes the curls to last longer.

What is Asian women’s most important feature?
*Drum rolls* It is the EYE BROWS!!

It helps to gives us more a more 3-dimensional look and because we do not have as defined looking or full looking brows, we have to at least use an eye brow pencil to colour or line the brows.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kissable lips with the: Snow Crystal Intense Lipstick

When using a lip stick, it is always better to use a lip brush for a more precise application. Start from the edge and line it to the middle, do likewise for both sides.

Two different lip colours can be layered for a different effect.

For a more pouty looking lip, apply the highlighter on the Cupid’s bow and under your lip for a more contoured and 3-dimensional look.

The finished look for the demonstration, the model was nice enough to pose for my picture. ^_^

The picture above shows the colour swatches for the two lovely shades for the Snow Crystal Intense Lipstick. Please pardon the bad picture as it was really packed with all the ladies.

This is the exclusive welcome gift for attending the makeup demonstration. The ring bind note book is so lovely with the pure white sleek look and I can’t bear to pollute it with my messy handwriting.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you girls have not heard about Laneige,

     
    Laneige is a Korea brand that focuses on both skincare and cosmetic products. Laneige is the French word for snow, thus you can tell why their logo is of the image of a snow flake.  

    I personally quite like Laneige’s cosmetics as for most of the times are complimenting to the Asian skin colour. But with regards to their skincare, I have heard lots of raves on it and I brought some to try out at this event. Will blog about it once I get to it.

    For price wise, it is considered affordable pricing for a reputable brand and they are often packed in a generous amount. Though look out for their promotional set if you would like to try their skincare range as it is really worth the savings.

    Till next time girls ^_^

    Please pardon if my voice sounds like a chipmunk or if I keep pausing as it’s my virgin attempt in making a video. Thanks in advance for the kind understanding.

    As for why I only did this video on a later basis, it is probably because I was requested by BEAUTYMAP for one after the review I wrote earlier. 

    To start off I applied my face with heavy makeup after prepping my skin, 

     This shows off the intense green eye shadow that i applied.

     My full makeup-ed look for the day with glossy kissable lips.

    What I have used today:
    • Skin food mushroom BB cream as base
    • Benefit  stay don’t stray as eye primer
    • ZA liquid concealer
    • ZA two way cake foundation
    • Kate duo blusher
    • Majolica Majorca green eye shadow
    • Elianto black waterproof eyeliner
    • Maybelline magnum waterproof mascara
    • Stage wonder lust lip stick in Monica
    • Fasio lip gloss
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Without further ado, I present you the unglam me:

    Essentials that will NEVER go wrong EVER

    Remember the good old schooling days when you just started out your skincare regime?

    Does Bioré sound awfully familiar?

    Like probably most of you girls, I started out with Bioré before switching to other brands in search of a specific skincare regime.

    They have a good range of skincare products for starters and efficient products like the Bioré nose pore pack.

    Last but not least, it’s a household name which we trusted, about probably 9 out of 10 Singaporeans at least heard of BiorĂ© before.

    Enough of introduction, today I will be taking about the:

     
    Bioré Hydra-Clear Makeup Remover

     Please pardon my messy hair as I was really excited to share with you guys what I collected to review.

    Many thanks for gorgeous people in the BEAUTYMAP team for providing me a chance to try this fabulous product.

    Love you guys a lot and hope we will be able to work together again.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    More information on the:  BiorĂ© Hydra-Clear Makeup Remover
    • Made in Japan
    • Rinse off type make up remover
    • Water-based formula
    • Aqua floral scent

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pros
    • Convenient as I no longer need to use a separate remover for my eyes and lips.
    • My stubborn mascara and water proof eyeliner are removed in just matter of seconds.
    • Does not have an oily feeling upon application.
    • Does not cloud up vision like some makeup remover.
    • No rubbing and tugging to get makeup removed.
    • I absolutely love the faint hint of apples within the delicious aqua floral scent.
    • Skin feels clean and smooth after usage.
    • No tight feeling after usage.
    • No skin irritation or rash break outs.
    • Cost saving as need not waste money on buying cotton pads or tissue. Some brands of makeup remover require the use of cotton pads or tissues to entirely remove the product from your face.
    • Squeeze type bottle dispenses out product easily without much effort.
    • Love the cute water drop looking package a lot.

    Cons
    • Ensure that enough products is on your hand before applying it on to your face as it gets a little difficult to spread it evenly.
     --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Comments

    The cute blue water drop lookalike package is so lovable.

    The Bioré Hydra-Clear Makeup Remover is colourless and easy to work with.

    I have been test driving the Bioré Hydra-Clear Makeup Remover for a few days now and I totally enjoy how time saving it is. Just one simple step to remove all my makeup, no more additional eye and lip makeup remover or scrambling for cotton pads when they ran out in the bathroom.

    It is also easy to use, hassle free and really effective no matter how thick my makeup is or how many layers of mascara I put. Though for more stubborn mascara I have to give it some time to dissolve with the gentle massage movements without having to tug at the lashes.

    Unlike some other brands of makeup remover which irritates my eyes a lot and clouds my vision, I do not encounter such issues when using the Bioré Hydra-Clear Makeup Remover.

    Even though I have sensitive skin, I experience totally no rash or pimple breakouts at all. There is no tight or greasy feeling after usage and leaves my skin clean and smooth to touch.

    The Bioré Hydra-Clear Makeup Remover is also really affordable too, at just 200ml at $27.00 dollars a bottle and every single time, you just need a little for the entire face. You get to save up the money on cotton pads too.

    My Verdict
    10 out of 10 stars, as even students are able to afford with their extra pocket money.

    Will I buy it?
    YES, I will love to buy it again and recommend it to my friends. It smells heavenly, works effectively, is affordable, what more can a girl ask for?

    Girls, hurry to your nearby departmental stores, supermarkets, drugstores to grab one of Bioré Hydra-Clear Makeup Remover, you will definitely fall in love like me.

    Till next time ^_^

    BRAS that are NOT for your ASSETS

    As I have mentioned above, there are other bras in the world other than those for your godly irreplaceable assets. 

    I love mine too, but today is not for the time for those.


    Recently, I received a package address to me.I really love to receive packages, as it’s like a surprises bag.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
     Upon opening the package,

    It reveals the: Yufit’s HOT Perfect V-line Face Shaper Bra ~~ 

    Many thanks for the kind people from the: Lush Group Pte Ltd, with the generosities to share with me the bras for my trial and evaluation. 

    Love you guys a ton. 

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Who should use Perfect V-line Face Shaper Bra? 

    Everyone who:
    • Wants a more sculptured looking face.
    • Wants to have more prominent jaw line.
    • Wants to have more firm and supple looking skin at the face area.
    • Have unsightly wrinkles.
    • Hates the sight of double chin.  

    More information on the: Yufit’s HOT Perfect V-line Face Shaper Bra 
    • A beauty product from Korea.
    • A stretchable mask type bra.
    • One size fits all with its pre-cut ear holes.
    • Self heating without any wrapping of towel or plastic films.
    • Helps to reduce the cellulite on the face especially targeting double chin.
    • Contains lifting collagen.
    • Helps to prevent wrinkles.
    • Moisturize the face.
    • Usage is about: 30 to 40 minutes.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Upon tearing open the package,

    The entire bra is soaked up with more than sufficient amount of essence, I must say it is a pretty generous amount of it.

    Open the mask and just loop on at the ears, it is just that easy.
     
    This is me with the Perfect V-line Face Shaper Bra on. 

    As the bra is of good size and covers a large surface area, more face surface can be treated.

    Just after putting on the bra, I realized:
    • OMG The mask really does heat up by itself remains like this for the whole 40 minutes.
    • The heating up sensation feels like face sauna without the mist.
    • This is a little weird as I felt a cooling sensation and yet I can feel that the bra is getting hotter.  
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    After about 40 minutes,

     The mask is all dried up as the essence is fully absorbed to my skin. 

    My dirtied bra, OMG this just sounds so wrong. 

    Anyway, I was so excited to try it out that I forget to remove the makeup residue properly before putting it on and thus you can see the foundation marks left on the bra. 

    NOTE: Girls please remove your makeup before using this. 

    DA-DAH ~~ 

    My moisturized and supple lower face and neck area, my face still feels super hot after removing the bra and the feeling only subsides after a few minutes.

     --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pros
    • Really convenient to use as traditional ones are normally sculpturing cream/gel that requires constant massage.
    • Fast absorption by the skin.
    • No sticky feeling throughout the entire time.
    • After usage skin feels smoother and firmer.
    • No rash or pimples break out.
    • Essence provided in each sachet is sufficient and there is only slight dripping on to my neck area. Did not drip to my t-shirt that I am wearing

    Cons
    • Ears can get a little strain with the bra on the entire time even though it is indeed more convenient.
    • There is a peppermint-y and slight herbal smell, I am really not sure on how to pin-point the scent out. Luckily that the smell is quite light and is bearable for me but I am not so crazy about it.

    Comments
    This is indeed an innovative new product that have caught my interest as I always have problems with my double chin appearing when I take pictures with my friends. 

    The self-heating technology can get a bit unbearable for some people but for me I feel that the hot sensation is nothing compared to someone who have to undergo the pains of surgery.

    My skin does appear more supple and moisturized after use. Cheek and jaw area appears slightly more firm and less chubby. Through I can’t really expect to see a drastic visible change right away as I have only tried the product twice.

    My Verdict
    8 out of 10 stars

    Will I buy it?
    YES, as I really want to try out for myself to see whether will there be a huge different upon long term usage and will the effects totally wear off if I stop using it.
