The best time of year is nearly upon us and as the song goes, I’m so excited and I just can’t hide it! Cue The Pointer Sisters! 😛 There is definitely a festive energy in the air, so even with so much to do, with so many tasks to complete before the year ends, I feel truly exhilarated and as I finish more and more of my home Christmas decorations, the feeling is just snowballing into a giant cloud of happiness. Seeing people rushing around with the common goal of just making our loved ones happy, it’s a really magical feeling. That’s not to say it’s all a bed of candy floss. We all know what a challenge it can be to find the ideal gift for someone, but come this time of year it’s no longer someone but sometwenty! Eek! Stay calm Jules, you can do this! Now given what I write about, it’s no surprise that I often find myself gifting my friends and loved ones with beauty gifts galore but at the same time I want to keep things exciting and unpredictable for my friends, so I started to think outside of the gift box! And that is exactly how I chanced upon OSIM’s range of electronic beauty products. Now I’m sure for most, the brand OSIM requires no introduction. Synonymous with high-end home massage products, but beauty products I hear you ask? Well it turns out OSIM has an entire range of products for the beauty conscious, including a special Christmas collection with prices starting as low as $68, not for one, but for two goodies! Check out their full range of Christmas sets here . I definitely wanted to see for myself what these intriguing devices could do. I picked up the uGem 2 Beauty Massager and the uScalp massage device. OSIM uScalp As a frequent migraine sufferer, I’m always looking for drug free therapeutic treatment options. A scalp massage from hubby or good ol’ mummy often helps to take off the edge, but alas, their hands are not always free. Approaching the uScalp with some trepidation, I was very very pleasantly surprised. The rotating finger-like prongs genuinely feel the same as having someone give you a scalp massage (sorry B I don’t need you anymore). Holding the device gently against my scalp, I really felt wave upon wave of relaxation and moving the device down to my neck and upper back, I could feel the device easing out the knots acquired from sitting in front of my laptop a hundred hours every day. Now it goes without saying, the more relaxed, refreshed and rested you are, the better the outcome of any beauty regime, and in this way the uScalp was a real winner for me. The uScalp helped me to unwind and relax, setting me up for the evening ahead. Less stress, less migraines, less frowning and wrinkles, ultimately meaning I had less to do when starting my beauty regime, helping you look good by helping your feel good from within. Energized and refreshed by my scalp massage, I was eager to discover what the uGem 2 could do! OSIM uGem 2 The uGem 2 is a small compact massage probe with a smooth 18k rose gold finish featuring a massage plate that pulsates 6000 times per minute. The micro pulses penetrate deep into the skin to stimulate your circulation while the massage plate is small enough to target problem areas like eye bags, fine lines and wrinkles, facial puffiness and even help towards achieving a slimmer v-shaped face. With all the household chores I’ve been doing of late, cleaning, prepping and decorating for Christmas, the skin on my hands have sure taken a toll. I decided to try out the uGem 2 on the new fine lines on my hands. I applied a moisturizer and set the probe to work. After just ten minutes I was literally shocked, this gizmo really did what it says on the box. Fine lines were visibly reduced after such a short space of time, I was genuinely shocked and simultaneously happy with my new beauty discoveries! I can’t wait to see what happens with more regular use. OSIM have quite a few innovative products in their repertoire and I found the prices quite reasonable, making them great gift choices for friends and loved ones, especially when considering that traditional beauty products such as creams, lotions and fragrances run out and expire but these devices can be enjoyed for years to come, requiring only a battery change from time to time. Well worth checking out and it seems like even Tosh Zhang and Apple from Ah Boys to Men love these OSIM goodies as much as I do: So if you’re in the market for an alternative gift for a beauty conscious friend, OSIM might be just what you’re looking for! Check them out and let me know what you think! OSIM Christmas Exclusive! From now till 31 Dec 2017, the uGem 2 Beauty Massager and uScalp Salon-style Scalp Massager are available at only $99 each! (U.P. $149 each) They are now retailing at all OSIM Stores, roadshows and their online store at www.OSIM.com . If you would like to find more about OSIM’s products or promotions, you can stalk them on FB at  facebook.com/OSIMSG  for all the freshest scoop. *wink* Now that the gifts are taken care of, I can relax and toast to a very merry Christmas this year. Cheers everyone! Your friend, Juliana #OSIM #SponsoredPost

No one is too old for fairytales and carousels… I’m having a whimsical Weds-daze with my new Anna Sui products! Think Mary Poppins like carousel cake pops and boudoir themed makeup! Aah… the hallmarks of Anna Sui style, don’t you agree? 🎪 Their star-studded holiday collection is inspired by stardust and the ever-changing patterns and colours of a kaleidoscope! Talk about melding reality with our fantasy world. You bet they rose to the top of my makeup wishlist the moment I laid my eyes on them! I also just visited their freshly opened flagship counter at BHG Bugis last month and absolutely love the counter’s equally vintage, feminine and fairytale elements that totally reflect the designer’s tastes and cultural obsessions. I felt like I was entering Anna Sui’s personal makeup room! I wish my girl cave looked like this. Maybe it’s time to call my ID again! Haha! There’s so much I want to show you. Scroll down and join me on a magical beauty adventure at Anna Sui’s new flagship counter! The Autumn Collection To commemorate the one year anniversary of Anna Sui’s revamp, they came up with this customisable floral case that looks like a treasure chest blooming with flowers. What a great way to represent their new beginnings blossoming into something even greater! One more carousel photo for the win! 😛 The Holiday Collection Let the swatching begin! Lipstick K Their new Lipstick K features a design inspired by an infinite number of star dust bouncing off of a kaleidoscope. The red hue is soft, buttery and glittery, perfect for all day use. I was so in love with the Eye and Face Colour Sticks G too. They are very easy to apply and subtle enough for everyday use. You thought they were lipsticks too eh? Haha! I was so excited to try these new products that can instantly add oomph to your regular makeup with just a swipe. 10 thumbs up for these new products! Just when you thought it couldn’t get any better than this – I spotted a dessert counter! A party is never complete without dessert! And of course, they are totally in harmony with the theme of the new store. Happiness level elevated! The walls are not spared. On the other side of the store, we spotted an interesting art piece by Japanese illustrator, Okamura Yuta. It first appears as a wallpaper design with forest foliage motifs but at on closer examination, you spot hidden images of forest animals. Charming! Come on look again! According to Anna Sui, the wallpaper represents your adventure in their new store, very much like a thrilling treasure hunt in a mysterious forest, where you seek and discover magical products that transform your everyday look. And this they believe, will make you very happy. Well, I can’t agree more. My Very Own Anna Sui Adventure I also received my very own Anna Sui coffret of magic! Here’s my Anna Sui V400! Love the glossy finish! Anna Sui Loose Face Powder N200. It’s a translucent lavender highlighting powder, for that added glow on our weary complexions on busy work days. Thank you for the yummy cake pops too, Anna Sui and Wom PR! Yay! To indulge in Anna Sui’s magical world too, visit their new store at BHG Bugis Department Store, located at 200 Victoria St, Singapore 188021. They open from 10.30pm – 10.00pm daily.

Christmas to me kinda feels like it’s suddenly everyone’s birthday on the same day and we all get to celebrate together in a lovely huge ball of fuzzy goodness. ‘Tis definitely the season to be jolly, ‘tis the season to shop till you drop and for a whole lot of us, ‘tis the season to travel and be merry! As much as I’m looking forward to a white Christmas in Korea, I’m dreading the inevitable rush to the airport, lugging my luggage around, the unsleepably crammed quarters on the plane and of course the mandatory aches and pains. Don’t you just wish every plane seat was one of those sumptuously cozy massage chairs? Alas, you can’t bring an OSIM massage chair onto your flight, but you can bring some of their numerous handy travel sized gadgets and gizmos with you! Some of which might even be better travel companions than your loved ones! Can these little bundles of joy fit into your travel itinerary too? Read on to find out! I decided to pick up the uMask Eye Massager and the uSnooz Massage Wrap to see if I really might be able to snooze all the way to Korea for Christmas. Time for some hands on action! First up, the OSIM uMask Eye Massager, a soft plush eye mask with a twist. OSIM uMask Eye Massager Not only does the cuddly fabric make the mask a dream to wear, with great light blocking qualities for those of us who are light sleepers, but it also houses batteries to power the eye mask’s secret superpower. By pressing the embedded button at the side, you activate the eye mask’s gentle massage feature. I found it mimicking how I feel in certain moving vehicles as I started to drift off to dreamland almost tout de suite. The massage is also a great way to relieve tired and strained eyes before bed while the portability of the eye mask means it’s perfect for taxi or plane rides, or even short naps in the office when the boss isn’t looking! The cover is also removable whenever you want to wash and refresh your trusty eye massager. All in all, a very handy little device which I’ll definitely be bringing on my next long haul. Next up, the OSIM uSnooz Massage Wrap. OSIM uSnooz Massage Wrap Yet another plush delight from the brilliant minds at OSIM. I’ll admit it, I love stealing food from B even when I’m not hungry, but B definitely gets his own back every time we take a flight somewhere. He always refuses to get his own travel pillow and insists on sharing mine, which of course means I wake up to see my hubby with the pillow all to himself. Ouch my neck! Well worry no more. The uSnooz is so long that I can either enjoy its cuddly embrace all around my neck or we can both share it without one of us getting the short end of the straw. Press the button at the side and you’ll be welcomed by wave upon wave of calming hypnotic goodness, while the button next to it allows you to adjust the therapeutic intensity of the massage to your liking. Armed with these two OSIM goodies, I suddenly find myself looking forward to my next squeezy, rushed, achey flight overseas! Bring it on! Psst! Even Frosty and Fatsnow approve! Yay! It turns out OSIM have quite a few innovative products in their repertoire, perfect for your folks, colleagues and even you beauty conscious peeps! Check out my previous post  for my personal account of the OSIM uGem 2 Beauty Massager and uScalp Salon-style Scalp Massager. 🙂 Well basically there’s something for everyone this holiday season with prices starting as low as $68, not for one, but for two goodies!

I love Chinese New Year, the family time, the food, the memories! With each year I find myself becoming more and more nostalgic, holding on to traditions from my childhood while creating new ones. Fine, I’ll admit it’s not all a bed of roses though. If anyone has ever experienced an annual review and appraisal at work, CNY can be something like that! So what have you achieved over this last year? Where are you working now? Children on the way??? And you bet as a beauty blogger – if my skin is anything less than flawless, I’ve had it! Eek! So no pressure! With so many deadlines, shoots and engagements every day, not only did I need to find time to squeeze in a pre-CNY facial but I needed to find one with the least possible downtime so I can keep to my busy schedule. Just when I thought I was hoping for the impossible, I received a glowing invitation from SOTHYS for the opening of their first Premium Salon in Singapore. Little did I know, but this would turn out to be just the impossible I’d been hoping for. I’ll admit, I didn’t know a great deal about SOTHYS so the opening was quite an eye opener. The French professional skincare brand has been leading the way since 1946 with a focus on non-invasive, high efficacy treatments and products. SOTHYS even pioneered the use of medical ampoules for their beauty products, and thus the beauty ampoule as we know it was born! With my interest piqued, I explored the newly minted premises. A welcoming open reception area invites you in while also showcasing some of SOTHYS’ top products. The Entrance It was a nice sizzling afternoon of mindless laughter with the beauty experts of SOTHYS Singapore and fellow social media personnel. We also got to savour a delectable buffet spread during the event. Yum! The Reception Behind the reception area are the ultra chic treatment suites of which there are only two. Yet again highlighting SOTHYS’ emphasis on quality over quantity. The other guests at the opening were much more familiar with SOTHYS than myself and they all had one view in common, the facials offered by SOTHYS are some of the best with the least post-treatment redness and downtime. So when I was invited back for a treatment, you bet I jumped for joy! Coming back to the salon, I was taken aback by the calming ambience carefully curated by SOTHYS. It was the perfect intro for a session of pampering. I was welcomed by Clara, SOTHYS Singapore’s first Golden Badge holder. Having breakthrough products is only one part of the SOTHYS ethos, all their therapists must also meet the stringent criteria set by SOTHYS. To become a SOTHYS Golden Badge holder, you have to score over 80% in annual assessments and undergo regular audits to ensure the standard is always maintained. Talk about meticulous! After a consultation with Clara, I was introduced to the HYDRA3HA Intensive treatment, a special concoction containing different molecular weight variations of Hyaluronic Acid and their patented1055 Boletus Extract for a level of moisturization that would normally require multiple treatments with traditional masks and serums. But first, relax! Before the treatment began, I was given a relaxing foot spa while I enjoyed the calming sounds and smells of the treatment suite. The ambience is one of pure bliss I tell you! Then I changed into their treatment attire for a back massage before we start working on my face! I’m loving it here already! Now I was finally ready for the facial treatment to begin. The treatment consisted of several phases starting with exfoliation through a deep cleansing routine. Then restructuring the skin with a nourishing serum, followed by a gentle face massage to make sure all the products were absorbed more quickly and efficiently. After the restructuring phase, we move on to the rehydration phase where we supplement the skin with lots of moisture by applying an Intense Hydration Gel Mask. Once that’s taken care of, we regenerate the skin with SOTHYS patented 1055 Boletus Extract and Hyaluronic Acid Modelling Mask, plumping up with a special mask fortified with Argan Oil (rich in Vitamin E) and the final infusion phase, administering the ultimate dose of hyaluronic acid with the Peel-Off Plumping Mask leaving the skin feeling soft and supple. Then completing the facial with Hydra3Ha Intensive serum and cream. Yeap! You read me right! Three facial masks in all! Unlike other treatments I’ve been to, Clara stayed for the entire duration of the treatment providing useful health and beauty insights whilst also administering special massage techniques to ensure my Zen-like relaxation was never broken. So what is the final verdict? Was it as pain free, void of post treatment red marks and downtime as many had claimed? Well, it seems there is no getting away from the discomfort of extraction, but after that step, it really was a great experience. The products were all manually massaged into my skin instead of with abrasive machines like a lot of salons use and the post treatment redness really was very very low. Here are my before and after shots for your verdict! There was so little visible redness that when I met my hubby later he had no idea I’d even gone for a facial! The icing on the cake was also the salon’s prime location, which meant I could go straight from salon to restaurant for dinner right next door, while the unique treatment meant I didn’t have to worry about scaring people away with my raw treated visage like I usually do after a facial. Interested to know more about SOTHYS products before I went to fill my hungry belly, I decided to pick Clara’s brains on some of their key products. Clara explained that indeed a lot of the preparations and serums are available for purchase for home use with the caveat that the home preparations are specially modified so as to be safe for anyone to use, while the high potency treatments are only available for in-salon use. Just for your reference – these products are for salon use only. While these ones displayed in the reception area are for home use. Yet another example of SOTHYS shining commitment to excellence! Huat Ah!!!! SOTHYS would love to share the joy of their new premium salon opening with you: Try the Hydra3Ha Intensive Treatment at a fraction of the price at $199 only. (U.P: $315). Check out this link for more info! And and and! It was amazing to learn that SOTHYS is actually the first creator of beauty ampoules. And this new year, SOTHYS is going back to their roots with a new series of ESSENTIAL AMPOULES – concentrated beauty serums that address different skin concerns. You can choose to hydrate, oxygenate, brighten or even anti-age with each power packed ampoule vial. Enjoy the goodness of these products with SOTHYS’ Essential Ampoules Promotion! While stocks last! (Each box has 7 ampoules for a 7-day programme): 1 box @ $79 (NP: $89) 2 boxes @ $139 (NP: $178) 4 boxes @ $239 (NP:$356) SOTHYS’s Premium Salon is located at 23 Lorong Telok #01-01 S049035.

Happiness come in waves. Soaking in positive beach vibes in my favorite floral number by The Design Closets. I also added a little pop of red to celebrate Ren Ri (人日), the seventh day of the first lunar month! 😁 It literally means everyone’s day. Legend has it that Nüwa, the mother goddess of Chinese mythology, created the animals on different days and human beings from yellow clay on the seventh day after the creation of the world. With the divine power entrusted to her, Nüwa made the clay figurines come to life. So… happy birthday everyone! And the sun is out!

In a twinkle of an eye, all the lunar festivities are ‘almost’ over. Well technically, tomorrow is the last day. 😛 It was really nice catching up with everyone and of course, indulging in the sumptuous gourmet spread every time we visit a relative’s home. Everyone is talking about new clothes, new goals and new dreams. I definitely look forward to the promise of a new beginning. Psst! And also wish for a little bit of pixie dust for renewed confidence in everything we dabble in this New Year of the Doggie! Whoopee woofee! In these last hours of the Spring Festival, I thought we could just recap some of my favorite CNY styles during the first few days of the new year. Our little island spent gallant efforts creating vibrant and interesting landscapes. So this CNY, I decided to skip around the island, exploring true heartland areas, from our imperial styled Chinese Garden to our ubiquitous yet extremely iconic HDB neighbourhoods in my festive coordinates. All outfits featured here are courtesyy of our local retailers, The Design Closets and Joop Boutique. Since the CNY is so close to Valentine’s Day this year, I also included a mini Vday fashion spread taken in a prominent CBD area to extensively showcase all aspects of our Singaporean architecture. Hehe! Now please join me in celebrating our true heartland areas in oriental style! 大年初一 (First Day of the Lunar New Year) THE FASH SQUAD Dress: The Design Closets Mandarin Orange Carrier: Cold Storage Earrings: Lovisa Bracelet: Swarovski Shoes: Pedro Hair: Shunji Matsuo Ngee Ann (Quote ‘Honeyz’ to enjoy 10% off any chemical service by senior stylist, William.) 大年初二 (Second Day of the Lunar New Year) THE FASH SQUAD Dress: Joop Boutique Mandarin Orange Carrier: Cold Storage Earrings: Lovisa Bracelet: Swarovski Shoes: Pedro 大年初三 (Third Day of the Lunar New Year) THE FASH SQUAD Jumpsuit: The Design Closets Bag: Bulgari Earrings: The Design Closets Watch: Rolex Shoes: Pedro Lips: Fenty Beauty 情人节 (Valentine’s Day) THE FASH SQUAD Dress: Joop Boutique Bag: Danielle Nicole Earrings: Lovisa Shoes: Pedro You’re never fully dressed without perfume! Who else agrees? My everyday scent has to be pleasant yet mellow and versatile. On some days, I’ll even match my fragrance to my mood for the day. Citrusy notes for a more fun and feisty mood or a creamy note for a glamorous demeanour. I definitely appreciate a nice flacon for the vanity too! Speaking of pretty flacons, here’s a special shoutout to Aura Prestige for sending these over to Bobby and I! Their rich red hues and elegant designs look perfect for my CNY home decor set up. From left to right: Cartier La Panthere Perfume for Women, Pasha de Cartier Edition Noire Sport and Victorinox Swiss Army For Her Uncut Taking this series of photos was no easy feat. Keep scrolling to see what most of our other photos looked like.

The best eraser in the world is a good night’s sleep. I’m so excited today! We just got the go-ahead from the Ministry Of Health to launch our mobile clinic concept! And the icing on the cake? They’ll also be supporting us with new IT equipment and stationery for us to use on the go. I can’t believe this is actually happening right now as just a year ago, everything seemed bleak. Approvals were being delayed indefinitely and our concept looked like it was leaning towards a major rejection. As you can imagine, the effects of the uncertainty and tension began to trickle down to my lifestyle and beauty routine. I couldn’t sleep well at night. To add insult to injury, zits and spots also came knocking on my proverbial door like an old friend. It was nasty! I had to up the ante and introduce new habits and supplements to help me sleep better. Yeap! No one ever said pursuing your dream is a walk in the park! 🙁 After a few adjustments, I managed to maintain a rather healthy routine and keep the pimples at bay, even before we received the approval. So today, I thought I could also share how I adjusted my night time routine to allow myself to have a better night’s sleep and clearer skin the next morning. Hope this will help you too! “Read a book” To get my mind off work, I usually read before I go to bed. Reading helps to bring me out of the zone and into the realm of the author’s world. I usually read novels or just coffee table books for content inspiration for the blog or Instagram. I avoid my usual business self-help books to prevent myself from brainstorming ideas before sleeping. Remember, you’re supposed to wind down at this time! Oh and reading your Facebook feed doesn’t count. According to sleep.org, the blue light emitted by screens on cell phones, computers, tablets, and televisions restrain the production of melatonin, the hormone that controls your sleep/wake cycle or circadian rhythm. To make sure technology isn’t harming your journey to slumberland, give yourself at least 30 to 45 minutes of gadget-free transition time before hitting the hay. If you really have to check your emails one last time before bed, I recommend wearing computer glasses to reduce harmful blue light and eye strain. My go-to is  ENERGEYES’ Anti-Fatigue Computer Glasses for late night internet surfing. “The Mandatory Nightcap” Every night, I need a beverage before I go to sleep. I used to indulge in a glass of wine as I believed that alcohol helps me sleep better. However, there is new research to show that even though alcohol makes you drowsy, it reduces rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. According to this article on WebMD, REM sleep happens about 90 minutes after we fall asleep. It’s the stage of sleep when people dream, and it’s thought to be restorative. Disruptions in REM sleep may cause daytime drowsiness, poor concentration, and rob you of needed ZZZs. Overall, not a great idea. Here’s my new sleepy beverage! Creme Simon Détente | Relax Tea SGD32/tin This natural blend has been formulated to help sleep or rest better while recovering from the day’s activities. • Peppermint Leaves: To soothe anxiety, emotional stress, relax digestive muscles and cramps. • Chamomile Flowers: To relieve insomnia, promote a good night’s sleep, and stimulate the body’s natural recovery. • Real Vanilla Bits: For nausea and stomach upsets. • Bluecorn Flowers: To help relieve water retention, chest congestions and anxiety. I suffer from migraine attacks every now and then, especially during that time of the month. According to this article , it is because of falling levels of oestrogen. 🙁 The smell of peppermint usually helps soothe the tension in my head. I’m also always on the look out for chamomile flavoured body products and diffusers as I love how relaxed it makes me feel. Yup. I like it so much I pretty much inhale it. Haha! So the chamomile scent in the Creme Simon tea is a huge bonus for me too. Now you can see why this has been my nightcap of choice for the past few months. “Take a chill pill” Haha! The Creme Simon Détente Rest supplements literally does that for me. Its main ingredient is Magnesium. According to this article , Magnesium is well known for its ability to relieve insomnia. One study found that it helps decrease cortisol, the “stress hormone” that can keep you up at night. It also helps muscles relax, to give you that calm “sleepy” feeling and help you unwind after a long day. Keep scrolling down to see what else is in the supplements! SGD42/60 capsules This natural sleep aid promises to relax the mind and body, promoting better quality sleep within a shorter time. Ideal for adjusting to new time zones when travelling, or addressing sleep issues due to anxiety, over-fatigue and insomnia. •  Magnesium , naturally sourced from seawater: To support muscle relaxation and alleviate sleep disturbances. •  Gingko Biloba : To improve sleep quality by reducing anxiety, fatigue and insomnia. •  Melatonin , a naturally occurring hormone: To ease jet lag and insomnia by entraining or regulating sleep-wake cycles. •  Tryptophan , an essential amino acid and precursor to melatonin: To invoke feelings of calm, relaxation, and induce sleep for better mood the next day. The Rest supplements have become a bedtime staple for my husband, Bobby and I. We both notice that we have better quality sleep after we started incorporating this into our night time routine. We wake up feeling less sluggish than before and can now concentrate better at work. Foam, Cleanse Repeat! SGD59 Extra-fine instant foaming cleanser that gently lifts impurities, removes light makeup and excess oil. Featuring foaming agents gentle enough for baby care without the use of drying sulfates, this light yet creamy mousse cleanses effectively without stripping skin of moisture. • One-step cleansing: Removes light makeup for eyes and face. • Extra gentle: Suitable for sensitive skin. • Long-lasting: Able to last for 4 – 6 months of average daily use. • One of the highest concentration of freshly harvested, botanical ingredients due to nature of rinse-off formula. 0% Paraben, Sulfate, Oil, Colourings, Phenoxyethanol. Non-comedogenic. As you probably already know – foam cleansers have a bad rep for being too drying for the skin. This is why I only use it in the evenings to get rid of makeup and gunk accumulated throughout the day. In the day time, I’ll usually just use gentle cleansing wipes or cleansing water to clean my face. However, these days I’ve tweaked by routine slightly to also include the foam cleanser in the day time. The Creme Simon Oxygenating Foaming Cleanser is gentle enough for regular use and most importantly, it is free of sulphates, unlike many other foaming cleansers as mentioned in this article . No squeaky clean feeling after wash! What about you? Do you use foam cleansers on a regular basis too? “Moisturise like your life depends on it!” SGD98 Concentrated in potent natural active ingredients, the gel-cream moisturiser refines and nourishes skin without excessive richness. A nightly ritual for rested and regenerated skin. • Lightweight gel-cream: Non-greasy or sticky without use of occlusive silicones. • Dermatologically tested on acne-prone skin: Users reported brighter, softer, more rested and moisturised skin after 4 weeks of use. • Proven efficacy: In skin oxygenation, new skin cell regeneration and melanin inhibition. • Over 90% natural ingredients: With stabilisers used in organic baby care. • Hygienic airless pump packaging: To minimise use of preservatives, ensure quality whilst avoiding contamination. 0% Paraben, Silicone, Oil, Colourings, Phenoxyethanol. Non-comedogenic. No night routine is complete without the mandatory emollient. I break out pretty easily so I’m always on the look out for gel form moisturizers as they tend to feel less greasy on the skin and absorb faster into the skin. Currently, I’m on my second bottle Creme Simon Restorative Light Night Moisturiser . I love its lightweight texture and signature Creme Simon scent. Just thought you might be interested to know that this product contains fatty alcohols. They are the non-drying type. Unlike simple alcohols, they tend to have a thick, waxy texture. Some are even solid. They are used to give products a smooth, velvety feel, which give products a nicer texture. You can check out this article to find out more about the different alcohols you should look out for in your products! Also! Apply your moisturisers in a gentle motion. Don’t massage your skin too hard during application as this may weaken the fibrous structures of our skin and cause (gulp!) sagging! And there you have it! A glimpse into my night routine for 2018! Following through with these steps have helped keep me productive everyday. Couple that with regular exercise and a healthful diet in the day time, I managed to maintain a glowy complexion (well almost) everyday and prevent myself from falling sick too often. However, I also believe we shouldn’t be too restrictive in our lifestyle as it may result in temptation indulgence. So occasionally I still give in to the snack attack! 😛 And finally, when all these quintessential daily habits align, I get the best of every day! Thank you so much for joining me on my night routine! Hope what I shared is helpful for you too! What is your night routine like? Do you have an interesting or healthy practice before bed? Let me know by commenting below! A special shoutout to… Creme Simon for ‘reloading my beauty arsenal’ with products I love and have already been using for years. Yay! And guess what?

When Sudio, a Swedish brand specializing in personal soundpieces approached me, I was taken aback by their obvious commitment to producing products that look as good as they sound. The brand name is an homage to the Phil Collins song, Sussudio, after one of the brand’s founders saw Phil Collins struggling with his headphones in a chance encounter in New York. As a big Phil Collins fan (who doesn’t love Another Day In Paradise, In The Air Tonight or even better, Tarzan’s You’ll be in my heart!), my interest was piqued. The headphones came with a very cool white storage pouch with rose gold trim matching the control buttons and trim on the headphones. After just a quick charge of 10 minutes, they were already ready for use and pairing with my iPhone was a cinch. The Sudio Tre model features a soft gel hook which curls into the concha groove of your outer ear to ensure they stay where they’re meant to, ideal for sports and activities. I decided to give them the ultimate test during the most grueling of physical activities, that’s right! Household chores! With vacuum cleaner in hand, I set to work. Despite the noise and rushing around, I was pleasantly able to continue listening to my music while the 15m Bluetooth range meant I had freedom to keep my phone in my bag while enjoying my tunes. I’m no audiophile, but to my ears, sound quality was great. Bass response was good and there were no clicks, sound dropouts and other connectivity issues while the full charge battery life of nine hours means you don’t have to keep worrying about them dying on you either. The headphones are also sweat proof, which means they won’t spoil from the perspiration of a heavy workout like some headphones can. Sudio have clearly got their stuff together, a great harmony of style and function, these little beauties look great and sound pretty fantastic. Did I mention they look great? Free tote bag! Sudio is currently running a pre-summer promotion! This special edition tote bag featured above is complimentary with every purchase from their website from now till 31 May 2018.

When makeup meets fashion… amazing things happen! As seen in Shu Uemura and Yazbukey’s latest collaboration below! Evidently, the collection is a walking billboard of the extraordinarily creative minds of Uchiide, Shu Uemura’s International Artistic Director and the Queen of Plexi, Yazbukey. Following their successful joint effort in creating one of the most iconic lines back in 2015, the artistic extraordinaires are back on again to create the lip-focused “Mattitude Collection”. Since their first launch in 2010, Shu Uemura’s Rouge Unlimited Supreme Matte has gained popularity among matte lipstick lovers for its beautiful matte finish, vibrant color pay-off and melting texture. Just when you thought it can’t get any better, the collection introduces their first ever magic metallic lip liner, adding a je ne sais quoi to the lip contour. I had a lot of fun playing with the new products and experimenting with some new looks! Keep scrolling for swatches of the new lippies! I wore the Coral Dance shade and dabbed some Gold Wow on my lips in this series of photos. They lasted through a cup of milk tea and some Lao Po Bing (Wife Cake, a traditional Cantonese pastry). Absolutely love the flattering shade and its buttery yet matte texture. And of course, the metallic lip liner is a genius idea! Now I can instantly glam up a look with a quick swipe! Here I am also wearing a lip necklace by Yazbukey, a Paris-based jewelry designer, well known for her iconic, bold and edgy lip motifs: “c’est ahh lips”. Aptly dubbed the Queen of Plexi for her trailblazing use of plexiglass, she often designs accessories with playful pop references, creating a trompe l’oeil effect along the way for more interesting and wearable pieces. Her vivid persona is perfectly in line with Shu Uemura’s Rouge Unlimited Supreme Matte! See how well my lip color and funky necklace go together! Now let’s take a closer look at the mesmerizing shades! Coral Dance Magenta Spell Rose Flows Yaz Red Gold Wow The metallic lip liner is very thick and highly pigmented, allowing it to create precise strokes with every glide. To make my point, I decided to create a more complex swatch with the lip products. Tadah! My husband, Bobby drew the Infinity Gauntlet on my hand, with the Rouge Unlimited Supreme Matte colors as the infinity stones. Eek! I hope Thanos never finds me! The gold hue is intense! I also love how it dries quickly, creating an alluring matte gold texture. Shu Uemura, you’ve defnitely outdone yourselves again! I wanna get all your shades! Here’s an overview of all the colors. Besides the gorgeous shades featured above, the collaboration also includes nine new trendy shades with a total of 16 shades accessorized with a special playful lip motif on the packaging designed by Yazbukey and three other Magic Metallic Lip hues. The 16 shades consist of nine NEW limited edition one-shot shades and seven best-selling existing rouge unlimited matte lipsticks in limited edition packaging. Check out this link for all the colors! The products are priced at SGD38 each and are now available islandwide. If you’ve created interesting looks with these Shu Uemura x Yazbukey products too, tag me on Instagram @ilovebunnynet .
