Continuation of Judy Lin's Magic

I feel extremely privileged to be once again selected as one of the volunteers for the Shills Beauty D.I.Y workshop with the presence of Taiwanese famous beauty guru, Ms Judy Lin.

Have not heard about her?

You probably don’t know what you have been missing out for the tips she dishes out are really effective.

Ms Judy Lin is a well-known stylist, a book writer and also one of the skillful beauty experts that often grace the famous Taiwan beauty talk show 女人我最大 (Known as Lady First & Wqueen).

Grabbing a quick bite after attending their previous workshop at Tampiness Mall earlier in the day, I quickly made my way down to Jurong Point to participate in their evening show.

PS. For those who would like to know the tips that I have picked up in the previous Shills Beauty D.I.Y workshop and my up close and personal interview with Ms Judy Lin, read up more @

Media & bloggers invitation to Shills Beauty D.I.Y workshop

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

Getting back to the Shills Beauty D.I.Y workshop,

Once I have reach Jurong Point, I patiently waited for the preparation of the stage to be done and the show to get officially started.

It wasn’t long before the cheerful emcee started his routine to get the audience gathered and all hyped up before the arrival of Ms Judy Lin.

On the whole, there were a total of 3 different segments for the workshop,
  1. Attainment of a more slender silhouette with the collaboration of easy massage techniques
  2. Achieving clean and clear complexion that is free from stubborn white and blackheads
  3. Luxurious salon styled hair in less than 30 minutes

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

To get thing started, Judy started off with the introduction of the formidable slimming duo,

The new improved Shills Miracle Lift Body Contour Control with 157% more caffeine for increased cellulite burning, skin tightening and firming properties.

A helpful volunteer was selected to demonstrate the instant results after usage of the Shills Miracle Lift Body Contour Control.

Judy then applied a generous amount of the Shills Miracle Lift Body Contour Control on the arm of the volunteer and massage in an upward motion to promote better blood circulation to increase the body’s metabolism rate thus in turn aid in the burning of fatty deposits.

Thereafter, Judy proceed to cover the arm that was applied with the Shills Miracle Lift Body Contour Control in a plastic shrink kitchen wrap to barrier off the cold air condition for better results. 

And guess what, the volunteer's arm did slim down by 1 cm in total in just such a short amount of time.

Next up is the usage of the Anosa Fit Patch for efficient cellulite burning and toning even though there is no exercise involved or even as you are sleeping during the night.

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

With the such a great combination on the functions to firm, tone, increase cell metabolism, prevents aging skin and even helps to detoxify the body, girls like me no longer have an excuse to be lazy.

Witness your own transformation today with,
  •  Shills Miracle Lift Body Contour Control @ $58.90 for a 250ml bottle

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

Next up is the proper way to tackle one’s white and blackheads problems without resulting in unsightly enlarged pores with the help of Shills Black Charcoal Pore Clarifying Series,

Meet the stars of the Shills Black Charcoal Pore Clarifying Series.

First off, apply the Shills Black Gel Deep Sebum Softener on your t-zone areas and massage gently in a circular motion to deeply cleanse the pores and to soften even the most stubborn blackheads.

Secondly, is to remove your deeply rooted whiteheads, blackheads, dead skin cells by using the Shills Purifying Peel Off Mask.

It too helps to instantly brightens dull complexion and aids in the reduction of pore size as well.

Girls, you might all be thinking about why have I not make my appearance yet right?

It is because I am involved in the last segment for the day, the hairstyling demonstration.

The sidekicks that will be starring with Judy Lin and me in the demonstration.

After a short assessment of my dense yet limp looking hair, Judy generously sprays the Shills Magical Hair Volumizer with Camellia Extracts and immediately blow dry my hair to add volume and bounce to my tresses.

Next armed with a hair curler, Judy then curl my hair to create natural looking curls to aid the creation of the popular princess hair style that is currently one of the hottest trend in Taiwan, Japan and Korea.

The most surprising thing of all is that all this is made possible without the need of bum pits to add volume to the top of the head.

Judy then starts off by dividing my hair into 3 portions, tie the middle portion into a bun and sprinkled some Shills Dust It on the top portion of my hair to give it an fluffy, airy and volumized effect.

Thereafter, Judy then carefully used the top of my hair to cover the pre-tied bun to create a natural looking hump on my head.

After securing the hump with a special screw shaped pin which she have mentioned on 女人我最大 (Known as Lady First & Wqueen) before, Judy proceeds to lightly spray on the Shills Fluffy Fix Maximizing Hair Volume Spray to set the hair before adding a floral clip to add a cute and feminine touch to the entire look.

Judy too add that if you would like a quick image change from a day office look to a night partying look, simply just swirl all the bottom hair up and secure it with a bobby pin for a refreshing new image.

Here are the close-up shots of the final masterpiece with the fabulous hair styling products from Shills and Judy’s magical fingers,

Up close & PERSONAL with Judy Lin

I am super excited and honored to be chosen as 1 of the bloggers to conduct a short interview with the skillful stylist, Ms Judy Lin.

Heartfelt thanks to Louisa, Beauty Bistro and SASA for giving me this once in a lifetime opportunity.

The interview was hosted in a corner of in SASA Tampiness 1 after the end of the beneficial workshop.

Here’s a picture of me posing with the standee for a memorable shot while we were waiting for the arrival of Ms Judy Lin.

The Shills products that were introduced and used in the various exciting demonstrations by Judy Lin at various locations in Singapore.

And… For the fans of Judy Lin such as myself, here’s a gorgeous smile by the beautiful and photogenic Judy.

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

Let me share with you girls, fresh from the oven juicy bits that we have covered during the interview,

Attainment of a more beautiful self:

Having a strong desire in your heart that wins everything in the conquest for beauty is important as it will provide you with the incentive for improvement, a hardworking mindset and fuel to burn for the up keeping of your skincare regime.

A proper and constant skincare regime is the fundamental basics for better looking skin, so do make sure that it eventually turn in to an everyday habit.

You might not see the need to start a skincare regime at this moment but as one start to age, you would probably thank your lucky stars when your friends of the same age as you, appear to look older in time to come.

Remember to never feel dishearten if you do not see any instant results as it might take ranging from a month, 3 months or even a year to see witness the results you desire.

-----

Achieving a healthier complexion:

Maintaining at least the basic skincare regime which includes: makeup removal, cleanse, tone, essence, serum and moisturize.

Our skin is our largest organ, adapts to our needs based on our climatic local conditions thus whitening products becomes a 24 hour need when Singapore is sunny all year around.

Unlike the Taiwanese who needs to have 4 different sets of skincare products to cater to the 4 seasonal changes, we are much more fortunate as we only need to invest in 1 particular set to last the entire year.

Carefully choose the right skincare that is suited for your skin type and condition as what works for others might not means that it will work for you.

-----

Solutions to clearer, acne free skin:

To start things off, you have to first seek out the root of the problems that caused the formation of acne on your skin. Common bad habits that might contribute to acne includes: Over consumption of spicy and heat-y fried foods, stress or even insufficient sleep.

Next we have to slowly reduce and remove such bad habits from our lives. Followed up by the aid of suitable products to target and heal the existing acne while preventing the formation of new ones for a healthier and more confident you.

Those who are suffering from acne problems should choose to use skincare products which are oil free and those with a medicated formula.

Some suitable ranges are those that contain charcoal for its oil regulating properties, cucumber for its soothing effects, whitening to help stabilize skin conditions and the usual anti-acne series.

The first step to prevent clogged pores is by keeping your follicles clean. Sounds difficult right? Fear not as it can be easily achieved by using the correct method of the softening of stubborn black and white heads, removal and minimizing with the use of the toner.

-----

Battling against eye bags and dark eye circles:

First determine the cause on the formation of your eye bag and dark eye circles and remedy it by reducing the occurrence of the cause, the religious use of targeted treatment products and light massage to boost the blood circulation around the eye area.

-----

Useful makeup tips:

Always remember to use an oil blotter to blot away excess oil secretion on your face before touching up to prevent clogged pores and for a smoother and non-cakey finish.

-----

The latest hair style trends:

It is definitely those which help reduce the actual size of the face which can be attained by producing airy curls or a puffy volumisied top.

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

Why did Judy decide to venture in to being a stylist?

During her high school days where she actively took part in advertisement endorsements, she was always fascinated by how the magical fingers of the stylist managed to transform a plain looking girl like her into someone who is totally fashionable and different.

Enticed by the possibility of making the impossible in to a reality just like magic, a determined Judy then set her goal to become a stylist.

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

Bombard by the wide range and selection of Shills products, here are Judy’s recommendation on the 4 must have products to own this season,
  1. Shills Miracle Life Body Contour Control for a slender and contoured enviable silhouette
  2. Shills White Ex-SPF 42PA++ Sun Block Whitening Hydra Foundation for its natural looking coverage that too doubles as a sun block for adequate protection against harmful UV Rays
  3. Shills White Anti-dark Spot Whitening Serum to reduce, lighten and prevent the formation of pigmentation
  4. Shills Moisturizing and Whitening Cold Gel Mask for its intense hydrating properties while helping to sooth the skin and reduce enlarged pores

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

And... What exactly are the products that are always in her bag?
  • Shills Dust It for quick hair revival and touches up
  • Shills White Ex-SPF 42PA++ Sun Block Whitening Hydra Foundation for its convenient and dual functions

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

During the interview, an impromptu demonstration was also done on Michelle to show us how easy it is to achieve a light and non-cakey finish with the use of the Shills White Ex-SPF 42PA++ Sun Block Whitening Hydra Foundation.

Here's Judy patiently and enthusiastically giving useful tips to Michelle during the demonstration.

Even through the coverage is not as complete and flawless; the results are a smoother finish with a more natural look and the best part is that all this is done without clogging of the pores for healthier and breathable skin.

That’s all for today, I’ll end this post with a fabulous picture taken with Judy and all the bloggers present.

Learning from the EXPERTS

Ever been troubled reading the product label of a particular product and doubt its effectiveness or outrageous claims?

Have you invested in an expensive product but ended up chucking it in the trash can as you did not witness the results you desire?

Actually all this problems can be easily solved by learning from real life beauty gurus and professionals while they are demonstrating on the proper usage of the products before deciding on whether or not it is worth the investment.

This is probably why I was so overwhelmed and honored when I was extended the kind invitation to attend Shills Beauty D.I.Y workshop with Beauty expert, Ms Judy Lin.

Hug and kisses to the lovelies at Beauty Bistro and SASA for the kind invitation and for making this event a blast. Super love it that you managed to fly Ms Judy Lin all the way from Taiwan to grace this workshop personally.

Does the name Judy Lin ring a bell in your head?

It is probably because Ms Judy Lin is one of the beauty experts that often make her appearance in the famous Taiwan beauty talk show 女人我最大 (Known as Lady First & Wqueen).

She was even given the title of the ageless beauty by the Taiwanese media.

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

In the session that I was attending, Ms Judy Lin have shared with us her secrets and D.I.Y tips on how to achieve a more slender body, fantastic looking hair in just minutes and brighter looking skin for a more confident self.

Being selected as one of the volunteers to be demonstrated on, I was totally nervous that I arrived an hour earlier even though I have to travel all the way from the west to the Tampiness 1 where the workshop is situated.

Once I reach, I have totally no problem locating the venue as it is strategically smack right in the middle of the atrium.

Some behind the scenes pictures of the preparations and restocking of goods before the official start of the workshop.

Here’s a picture of the tempting Shills products that will be later used in the demonstrations.

I just love the combination of pink and hot pink on the specially prepared mouth watering goodie bags to be given out to the audiences.

The jovial emcee for the day caught on camera while preparing and double checking his materials.

And… I absolutely love the way he get the audience and crowd all hyped up before the anticipated arrival of Ms Judy Lin.

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

I was totally shunned at how beautiful and young Ms Judy Lin looked when she stepped on stage, her pleasant mannerism and elegant character really suits her image.

After a brief introduction of the delicious food in Singapore and all, she further emphasis that in order to maintain a slender figure like hers even after she had 2 kids.

And the secret is the continuous and religious use of professional slimming products combined with a simple massage that we can even leisurely do while watching TV.

With this marks the 1st demonstration and the introduction on the newly improved 2nd generation of the Shills Miracle Lift Body Contour Control incorporated with simple and easy massage techniques to achieve a toned and envied body. 

Newly improved formula with 157% more caffeine for increased skin tightening and firming.

And… The Anosa Fit Patch for cellulite burning and toning even though there is no exercise involved.

I must say that this a fabulous combination for lazy girls like me who are actually in need of attaining a better figure yet do not have time to hit the gym every single day.

Without further ado, I hereby introduce volunteer number 1, the girl who is suffering from water retention problems. Girls, you might be wondering why she look awfully familiar right?

It’s me, no cookies for correct guesses.

With just a quick look, Judy then made the promise of at least a 2 cm decrease in arm circumference in just within mere 15 minute on my left arm that she will be conducting the demonstration on.

Judy then proceeds to take the existing measurements on my left arm and begin to massage the Shills Miracle Lift Body Contour Control on it

Upon the application of the Shills Miracle Lift Body Contour Control on my left arm, there was a cool soothing menthol feel but it was soon taken over by a bearable hot tingling sensation.

With a firm and strong control of her strength, Judy massage my flabby left arm in an upward motion for  a lifting effect against gravity, reduction of sagging skin and to boost my body’s blood circulation rate.

After a short 5 minutes of massage, Judy then wrapped my left arm with the plastic shrink kitchen wrap to barrier off the air-condition in the mall.

This too acts as a protection to prevent ourselves from scratching the area of application as one will normally experience an itchy feeling as the blood is circulated at a faster rate than usual.

I was then asked to sit to a corner while they proceed to explain about the Anosa Fit Patch, I will be covering this segment later in the post.

Before long, it was time to remove the plastic kitchen shrink wrap to let the audience and myself witness the results.

I immediately noticed a visible amount of sweat produced by left arm and it changed from pale to a pinkish skin tone which I was assured by Judy that it was normal after the heating and increase in blood circulation. 

With my previous measurement of 32 cm, it dropped to the promised 30cm. This is what I call instant results, I am just so fascinated by the results I witnessed.

Being satisfied with the results, what I love best from this experience is that my skin feels smoother and firmer with just 1 time of usage.

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

Back to the demonstration on the Anosa Fit Patch with the brave male volunteer who bared his stomach area just for the sake of love.

To get things started, simply cut 1 piece of Anosa Fit Patch into 5 pieces; stick in around your belly button in a circular pattern to mimic the acupuncture point that is used for slimming purposes.

Thereafter, you can go to enjoy a good night rest while burning cellulite and remove the patches after no more than 8 hours of usage in the morning.

With the combination of 2 of such fabulous products that is armed with the properties to firm, tone, increase cell metabolism, prevents aging skin and even helps to detoxify the body.

I personally find that it is a worthwhile buy as compared to expensive similar slimming alternatives.

So say hi to a slender looking you today,
  • Shills Miracle Lift Body Contour Control priced at $58.90 for a 250ml bottle
  • Anosa Fit Patch priced at $29.90 for a box of 8 pieces

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

Following up next is the hair styling segment with the widely raved Shills Magical Hair Volumizer with Camellia Extracts, Shills Dust It and Shills Fluffy Fix Maximizing Hair Volume Spray.

Judy proclaimed that she is able to reproduced salon standard expensive looking hair style in less than 30 minutes with just the help of the 3 hair styling products, a hair dryer and a curler.

If what she said is true, just imagine the amount of money you get to save and the time saved that is usually wasted in the salon waiting for your turn?

I was extremely curious of the outcome as Shills styling products have been already well raved in the internet and on the forums.
 
To get things started, Judy generously spray the Shills Magical Hair Volumizer with Camellia Extracts while scrunching the volunteer’s limp looking curls to transform it back to its former glory.

Next armed with a hair dryer, Judy proceeds to blow the curls dry and to my surprised the results were instantaneous airy looking curls. 

Just look at the difference on the existing left untouched curls and those on the right with just a quick pick me up from the Shills Magical Hair Volumizer with Camellia Extracts.

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

Judy then begin to tie and style the hair to create the popular princess hair style that is currently one of the hottest trend.

And… Best of all is she can achieve all this without the use of bum pits to add volume to the top.

Judy starts off by dividing the volunteer’s hair into 3 portions and proceeds to tie the middle portion into a bun with the help of a elastic rubber band.

Judy then sprinkled some Shills Dust It on the top portion of the volunteer’s hair to give it an fluffy, airy volumized effect and carefully used it to cover the pre-tied bun to create a natural looking hump on the volunteer’s head.

After securing the hump with a special screw shaped pin, Judy then lightly sprays on the Shills Fluffy Fix Maximizing Hair Volume Spray to set the hair before adding final touches with a lovely ribbon to add a feminine touch.

The gorgeous final result with Judy's magical fingers.

And… Judy too mentioned that if you would like a quick image change from a day to night look, all you have to do is simply swirl all the bottom hair up and secure it with a bobby pin for a whole look.

Judy also stressed that hair accessories plays an important role as well as it can be used to easily compliment an outfit or change the entire image that you are giving out.

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

By the way, guys are also highly recommended to use Shills hair styling products to mimic those sexy and airy looking hair styles that are often donned by Korean celebrities.

Here’s a excellent example shown by Judy with her magical fingers,


Just look at both the drastic before and after result, I bet you girls will be as convinced as I am. With such a time saving and effective trio, you will never ever experience limp, lifeless hair again.

Last but not least, the long awaited skin whitening segment with the use of Shills White Anti-dark spot Whitening Serum, Shills White EX-whitening and Brightening Cream, Shills White EX-SPF42PA++ Sun Block Whitening Hydra Foundation and Shills Moisturizing and Whitening Cold Gel Mask.

Waiting for the volunteer to step on stage after a short introduction of the Shills whitening series.

With a properly cleansed face, start off first with the application of the Shills White Anti-dark spot Whitening Serum as it helps to lighten existing skin pigmentation and prevents the formations of new ones. 

After application, the volunteer’s complexion seems to take a turn for the better brighter looking skin and reduced oil shine.

Judy then introduced to us the Shills White EX-whitening and Brightening Cream that is highly recommended to incorporate the massage technique using a Gua Sha to promote better blood circulation and faster absorption of the nutrients in to the skin.

The Shills White EX-whitening and Brightening Cream helps to block the formation of melanin which is the main culprit of the formation of pigmentation, freckles and dark spots.

To create the perfect finish, Judy moved on to recommend the Shills White EX-SPF42PA++ Sun Block Whitening Hydra Foundation that doubles as a sun block and as a cream foundation. 

With SPF 42PA++ properties, healing elements that aids the repair of skin, moisturizing and whitening properties, what more can one ask for?

Last but not least, the Shills Moisturizing and Whitening Cold Gel Mask for its intense hydrating properties.
 
  Infused with the capabilities to instantaneous bring down one’s skin temperature to be closer to the optimum and effective hydration results, they were both put to test by using an precise electric measurement stick.

And... I must add that the results were absolutely great. Other than that, it too helps to soothe irritated skin and refines enlarged pores as well.

PS. The Shills Moisturizing and Whitening Cold Gel Mask were grabbed like hotcakes after the workshop. I was really tempted as well but stopped myself as I am utterly broke.
