A look in pink that I came up with for Joey'space giveaway (I won!). Something I see myself wearing. Don't think I can handle the dog well though :s

Camwhore with Xinyi again. A "memorable" day.

Murad Hydro Dynamic Launch Event‏ (feat. Murad Hydro-Dynamic™ Ultimate Moisture)

13Oct11

Last month, I attended Murad Hydro Dynamic Launch Event‏. Thanks Murad Singapore (Mimi & Lynn) for the invite!

The event was held @ Arteastiq (a chill-out lounge @ Mandarin Gallery).

Arteastiq art jamming studio, to unleash your inner creativity (the artistic side of you).

Here's the tea lounge.

Some mingling before the start of event.

Lychee martini tea was served. It tasted a lil' bland for my liking.

Here's the highlight of the event - Murad Hydro-Dynamic™ Ultimate Moisture.

The most hydrating moisturizer Murad has ever offered. Gentle enough for sensitive skin, this non-greasy, velvety formula provides all-day moisture, all-day smoothness and all-day comfort – leaving skin perfectly polished.

Additional features and ingredients:

  • Ultra-concentrated, silky moisturizing cream offers immediate and long lasting hydration providing positively radiant skin
  • Avocado, Sunflower and Olive Fruit Oils enhance skin’s ability to retain maximum levels of hydration
  • Retinyl Palmitate and Shea Butter improve texture and while restoring natural smoothness and softness
  • Collagen Support Complex boosts skin’s resilience and plumps dehydrated skin


I tried the product prior the start of event. It has a rich velvety texture, as shown from the image above. Having said that, it doesn't feel as greasy as I thought.

I did notice a difference on my hand (see image above), can you? After an hour or so, the area with Murad Hydro-Dynamic™ Ultimate Moisture applied is clearly glowy, moisturized and well-hydrated. Glowy doesn't equal to oily. It felt so soft and smooth to touch. Tested and proven by yours truly.

A proper review on a separate post (but not so soon though.. stay tuned ).

Retails for SGD$142.

Available from November at:

  • BHG Bugis
  • Metro Paragon
  • Robinson Centrepoint
  • Tara apothecary
  • Sephora outlets

 

An interesting skincare talk by Murad International Trainer from USA. She dispensed useful tips on restoring skin's health and youthful glow, while sharing how Murad Philosophies are targeted to resolve skin conditions swiftly and transform skin's health/appearance. And, we had the chance to have our skin concern questions answered.

Murad Philosophies:

1) Emotional Heath

Connect with others as isolation causes the skin and body to age rapidly. A happy challenged mind contributes to overall health - inside out. Do things that make you happy. Hang out with friends more often. Engage in happy thoughts.

2) Internal Health

Take appropriate supplements to meet your skin concerns. Drink water (at least 8 glasses a day). Raw fruits and veggies contain structured water, which promote healthy young cells. Do include at least 1 colorful raw fruit/veggie in each meal.

3) Topical Health

The skincare products that we use. The better hydrated skin cells are, the better they can defend against internal and external aggressors that contribute to skin ageing.

 

And it's.. Nom Nom~ time!

A peppery bowl of onion soup. Surprisingly, I liked the taste and happily savoured every bit. *slurps*

Healthy yummy dinner for us. Ham and cheese sandwiches which tasted super good! The orange bits are apricots, I think. The bread itself tasted sweet, different from the usual fare. I like! :d~

Viva duck, for us to share.

Absolutely tasty! Was so hungry that I ate 2 pieces! :p

Ooo.. I liked the accompanying colorful salad (minus the gingery sauce and black olives).

Lovely dessert (champagne vanilla ice-cream) to end the meal with. Umm.. I am not a fan of maraschino cherry :s

Chantana "taught" me to add the ice-cream into the lychee tea. It tasted sooo much better! Champagne ice-cream lychee tea hehehe!~

 

Took photos with fellow bloggers and the ladies from Murad :D

An individual shot with Xinyi. A super petite and sweet-looking girl (:

The very friendly Mimi (brand manager of Murad Singapore) & me. I totally envy her glowy flawless skin!

Note to self: Must remember to take photo with Lynn next time!

Me & Chantana :D

Sharon, me & Chantana!

Hmm.. My hair is sooo short! >.<~~

A lovely group shot, featuring the peacock feathers print toga dress I bought from asos. Nice? :p

Thanks once again for the enjoyable and insightful event! 

O.O The "blown-up" press release!

 

That's all for now. Thanks for reading!

1 • DAY ACUVUE® DEFINE™; "A View on Eye Beauty @ ION Sky"

29Jun11

Thanks to Chantana, me & Jones got to attend "A View on Eye Beauty @ ION Sky" by Johnson & Johnson Vision Care (JJVC).

It's my our 1st time there! All the way @ Level 56! @.@ An eye-opener indeed......

[14 June 2011] JJVC brought together a panel of science and beauty experts at its 1st ever beauty workshop to unveil insights into eye beauty. Industry experts shared their insights into the factors that define attractive eyes, the science behind why eyes are deemed as the window to one's soul, and tips on how to achieve the latest looks and enhance eye beauty.

Favorit-est photo of that day! Showcasing our awesome hair colors! Our hair colors did faded by a fair bit but still.. Sooo muucchh better than my hair now.. *sob sob*

Hope I'll be able to attend the next hair color session.. >.<~~ (A shout-out to Mr Kuah B.L.)

To start the ball rollin', there's Faridah Ali Chang (registered psychologist, principal trainer and consultant from Rainbow Centre Training & Consultancy), to share with us that the eyes receive greater attention than any other facial feature. True to that.

In fact, according to a recent survey by JJVC, a whopping 80% of S'poreans rank the eyes as the most important facial asset of naturally beautiful women.

Female faces with large eyes in proportion to the face and clearly visible limbal rings (the dark ring outside the iris), were rated as more attractive to men. Thicker limbal rings makes the eyes appear larger and thus more attractive. That explains the rising popularity of beauty enhancement lenses. And her, we're talking about 1 • DAY ACUVUE® DEFINE™.

Next, Mr Peter Angel Wanneck (principal from The School of Make-Up) shared with us the latest make-up tips to get that naturally glamorous look effortlessly.

The current trend is the "natural" make-up look with a focus on defining the eyes that bear resemblance to the Korean's ulzzang style. Ulzzang (pronounced as uhl-jang) translates to "best face" or "good looking".

Using beauty enhancement lenses can increase the size of the iris and literally bring more "life" to the eyes! A palette of bronze and earthy tones for the natural subtle eye makeup, perfectly complements all Asian skin tones. To complete the uzzlang look, define the eyes using a brown eyeliner, soft pink blush, light-stroked brows and a sweet natural color lipgloss.

(Photo taken from Acuvue FB Fanpage) Natural is beauty.

The event ended with Ms Shirley Loh (Professional Affairs Manager from JJVC), who shared her views on the rise in popularity of beauty enhancement lenses.

In S'pore, the no. of beauty enhancement contact lens wearers have doubled in the last 3 years. With this increasing usage, women in particular, are increasingly on the lookout for lenses that enhance beauty while ensuring their eye health is not compromised.

Developed by JJVC, the Beauty-Wrapped-In-Comfort™ technology envelops the colorants within the lenses so that they are not in direct contact with the eyes. FYI, 1 • DAY ACUVUE® DEFINE™ is the No.1 best-seller in Korea, where women are known for their impeccable sense of fashion, style and beauty.

The fully-filled plate is mine.. They went for 2nd round, which I didn't (lol).

Me loveeee polaroid shots! :3

The handy gift - L'occitane Verbena Cleansing Hand Wash. A gentle reminder for us to wash our hands before putting on contact lenses. Thoughtful much :D

As for the 1 • DAY ACUVUE® DEFINE™ NATURAL SHINE™, I redeemed thru' the Acuvue website.

Lee Min Jung1 • DAY ACUVUE® DEFINE™ brand advocate. If you're into K-drama, you might find her familar. Her lastest drama - Midas. (Sidetrack: I kinda gave up after watching a few episodes. Might continue watching I guess.)

Choosing your Perfect Lens according to your personality.

Toilet - the best place to camwhore (x

Lunch @ Food Republic (Wisma Atria). Me loves grilled saba :d~ YUM YUM!

Dinner @ Ambush Pasta Bar (Takashimaya B2). Me loves bratwurst :d~

In short, me loves eating :x LOLOLOL

A Monday Lunch Affair @ Botanic Gardens ♥

22Jun11

A meetup finally with the ladies, on 9th May. Yups that's last month. And, June is gonna end in a week's time.

Time FLIES.

Instant attraction to the white swans, seriously. No joke man. Here's the zoom-ed in shots. Pretty eh.

Yes, another attraction. We're that easily fascinated. The weird-looking yet interesting flowers.

Yeah! My 1st time to Botanic Gardens! >.<~~

A long walk......

Finally! Lunch @ Halia Restaurant. We had Lunch Specials.

3-Course $32++. Expensive.

For appetiser, it was a dish I'd never tried before. Beetroot, goat feta cheese, fresh orange, pine nut, mesclun salad in xeres vinaigrette. A rather big portion AND of acquired taste.

The ladies ordered the respective 3 other appetisers on the Lunch Specials Menu.

The dish on the left is an appetiser as well - Jalapeno basil prawn cake with mango salsa and mesclun salad. On the right, is the Singapore-style chilli crab spaghettini (with real crab meat). They had this as their main course.

I had something different, which is the herb-marinated seafood skewer. There's grilled prawn, scallop, squid and mussel, couscous salad and citrus vinaigrette. Very fresh and juicy. Small portion though. I did help 1 of 'em polish off the spaghettini :d~ FYI, me don't like to waste food.

The desserts were not bad. Mine was really normal. Chocolate brownie, macadamia ice cream, pecan and maple syrup.

More interesting ones are the cappuccino "dunking pit" and young ginger frozen nougat parfait. According to the waitress, the former had a strong taste which one might not like. My friend went ahead to order it and thankfully she did. It taste awesomeee! Layered warm chocolate, vanilla ice cream AND iced coffee shaving WITH brownie cookie! OMG what's not to like?! Kinda overwhelming for one BUT it makes a good dessert to SHARE 

Recommended! (if you've the extra cash to spare.) An occasional indulgence doesn't hurt.

JUMP.shots.fail.max.

The weather was super duper effin' hot! But great for camwhorin' though. Oh well.

Fascinated by the mini waterfall. Like what the DOTS. Ahems.

Don't look like we're in S'pore somehow.

My really simple LOTD using Maybelline BB Cream. Flawless skin? :3

If only I can slim down just like Missy Lee. If only I hate eating. No way. I live to eat. Gosh.

Triple 

A super candid shot. DOTS.

The Hi! Bye. shots of yours truly.

My OOTD: Floral chiffon dress and ribbon bling-ed peep-toe flats (DMK)

Harry's Bar. Self-explanatory much.

Erdinger is !

Hair Color Transformation by René Janssens

21Jun11

Oops :x Supposed to blog this during the weekends.. Well, I supposed some of y'all might have read Chantana and Jones' blog entries about the hair-color workshop we went last last friday (10th June). The hair-color workshop was known as "Magic Colors with René Janssens". It was all about blondes and reds.

Hmm.. I seriously had the initial intention of going blonde but in the end, I "chicken-ed out" :x And so, I went with the intention of getting a really bright red head like this..

CHIO MAX right?!

Last year Dec, I cut my hair real short b'coz of A-mei. And now going red-head b'coz of her too! Love her hair sooo much!

And so, this is my hair magician for that day - René Janssens (from Belgium!).

“I cut not with my scissors but with my mind.”

Due to some unforeseen circumstances, I was lucky enough and super honored to get my hair color transformed by him. It was an early X'mas present, as what he said (lol). I replied, that's a super early pressie! xD

I love it very much!! Thanks!! :D

 

:

:

 

:

:

The BEFORE look. My hair color "gone bad".. That's René Janssens' honest comment! xD

He asked me what hair color would I like. "Bright red." was the reply. He was like "Oh. Ok. Good." He seemed very pleased with my reply (lol).

Their BEFORE looks.

Process-ing......

@.@~~ He must be wondering why this weird gal keep taking photos non-stop. LOL

Jones, the BLONDE

Chantana, the COPPER RED

Yours Truly, the BRIGHT RED

4-5 hours. WORTH the wait!

慢工出细货! 

I literally gasped when I saw the the final outcome! Can't believe my eyes seriously. It was far better than what I expected! René Janssens' awesome hands truly work-ed magic on me!

I'm super happy that day can! :3

Haizzz.. Unfortunately red hair doesn't last.. My hair now not super red liao.. Faded.. :,(

♥ I've got like 5 color tones on my hair! ♥ 

Awesome much!

Taken from Goldwell Singapore FB.

I regretted not taking many many photos of my hair on that day itself.. :/

That's all for now. Thanks for reading (:

    I'm totally intrigued by 122!!

    Why so??

    LIU is my surname!!

    Pretty red, isn't it?! o.o

    Hahas I'm biased like that!

    165 Champs-Elysees! I like this also! Saw Temptalia's review and I was like W-O-W!!

    Super gorgeous raspberry pink-red!

    Looks like a weapon yea :x

    A weapon of seduction that is.

    My blog ain't complete w/o camwhore photos :p

    Credits to: Chantana

    Chicken breast meat with red pepper. Dunno what's the sauce though. Tasted ok but I prefer thigh meat :x

    Salmon cheese tart? The creamy cheese taste was so strong that I couldn't even taste the salmon!

    And of coz, photo-taking with Trey!

    Ever so friendly and easy-going. It was really nice knowing him (:

    Jones and Trey :D

    An introduction talk by Maxime Poulin (Guerlain Makeup Artist from Paris).

    Here's Trey talking about fashion (bright colors). He looked so serious :x He IS.

    This lucky lady won a makeover by Maxime Poulin AND Trey Wong! Her "Before" photo.

    In the midst of makeover. Top-notch makeup skills, I must say!

    The final look!

    What a great difference! Even her three kids thought so. They looked so excited to witness the change in their mummy's look!

    Sidetrack: I love this.. BUT.. look kinda painful eh.. See the plasters :s

    Makeup demo time!

    It's important to start with clean sanitized hands.. Hygiene is important!

    Shall let the photos do the talking.

    The sultry smoky makeup look. Me like!

    Group shot 

    Spot Michelle, Minru, Kimberley, Vivian.. :D

    SWATCH-FEST!

    121 and 122 swapped.

    Chill-out @ Coffee Club. The service was exceptionally BAD!

    Jones and I had Iced Cappuccino. So-so.

    Chantana's Iced Latte, which tasted bad according to her.

    Joyce's Iced Mocha (I think).

    After food and drinks, what's left of 122 LIU is the stained red lips look on me. Nice? To me, nice (:

    Goodie bag + 1-item haul 

    Purposely let y'all see the price tag :x

    20% off btw. That's $40 for "my surname" lippy 

    The one (without price tag) is gifted to me - 105 Vol de Nuit.

    Can see the not-so-clear red arrow pointing downwards? Push to open..

    Cool mechanism right?

    Taken with iPhone. Not too bad huh.

    122 LIU is more of a cool pinkish (strong) red. Think strawberry. The yellow lighting does distort the true color to an extent >.< It has a nice-smelling rose scent which doesn't lingers. The lippy feels extremely lightweight and moisturizing on my lips. Feels so comfy! This reminds me of the MUFE lipstick I've. Of coz Guerlain's looks/feels much more moisturizing than MUFE's. All in all, I love Guerlain's lippies!

    Oh.. I got this pretty fuschia pink bracelet after a lip consultation (which I did "my own consultation" afterall xD). And, it led me to purchasing "my surname" lippy!

    The salesgirl was nice enough to give me makeup samples. I wanted to try the liquid foundation but she said don't have -.-

    Okay la. I've this to try - Guerlain Parure Pearly White The New Compact Foundation. Enough for 1-time application I think. Hmm......

     

    That's all for the super photo-intensive post. I'm dead tired after editing the photos and typing (just for this post!)...... Gosh.. Look at the many hours spent...... Thanks for reading/looking. xoxo

    Celebrating The Sib's 24th @ Carousel

    31May11

    15th May was my bro's 24th birthday and we celebrated @ Carousel. We had lunch buffet ($50++ weekend) and with any UOB Debit/Credit card, there's 15% off (weekday), 10% off (weekend).

    It is housed in Royal Plaza On Scotts Hotel, conveniently located at Orchard area.

    The lunch buffet is from 12-2pm. Too little time IMO.

     

    I didn't take any photos of the displayed food. The following photos are taken from the hotel's website.

    The not-so-amazing spread of seafood. Scallops, crayfish, mussels, prawns, etc.

    Halal-concept, so don't expect any pork.. AND B-E-E-F? There wasn't beef. I've no idea why. *sad face*

    My very 1st plate of seafood items.. Unfortunately it was the last as well.. I didn't really like the taste THAT much so I went on to explore other food sections.

    This plate of food was definitely much better! My all-time-favorite salmon sashimi tasted awesome! :d~ *slurp* Hmm.. I managed to polish more than half of 'em.. teehee :p

    The egg benedict tasted fabulous btw. Yummilicious max! The lonesome digestive biscuit with berried cheese tasted extremely good as well! I like :D

    Rojak items :x A little of each. Fish, prawn, croissant, peach crumble pie, bread pudding, cheese......

    Crème brûlée tasted so good, I have to had at least 2! The potion was pretty small to begin with.

    Assorted dessert, which wasn't really a sweet ending. Rather disappointing. 'Nuff said.

    Pretty to look at though.

    Fruits they took, which I didn't touch at all.

    I'm very in love with the coffee! It was superbly good, I tell you! The coffee taste was so intense and oh-so-aromatic. Needless to say, I had 2 cups :p If not for the time constraint, I would have had moreee!

     

    Camwhorin' time :D

    Ah xin, the birthday boy man ??

    I'm random, I know. Nice ma......

    Ah mei.

    Yours truly.

    I'm 24 (not) :,/

    And it's gonna be her 22nd next mth. Damn :,/ I feel so old..*double sianz-sation*

    The random lil' boy taking random photos with iPAD.

    Lunch buffet ending soon. Most already left.

    Ah mei dressed as if it was her birthday :x LOL

    My OOTD: Bysi black shimmer dress, Bebe black bag, SCHU strappy heels.

    Overall, I find the buffet to be so-so. Not much variety and food was not THAT enticing. There won't be a 2nd visit unless it's a treat (lol). Okay, I wanna go Shangri-La The Line Buffet next.

     

    Random artistic displays.

    The end. Thanks for reading (:
