  • All I Want For Christmas is… A BlackBox x Sothys Exclusive Beauty Pack!

    The bells are jingling, the lights are shining, the trees are glowing. Make no mistake, the festive season is in full swing and Christmas, my most favourite time of year is upon us. It doesn’t matter what your background is, whether you can afford lots of expensive presents or not, there’s just something special about this time of year that always makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. As a child, you would write hopefully to Santa and come running out of bed on Christmas day to see what goodies might be waiting for you. As an adult, I believe even more strongly in the Christmas spirit and now truly appreciate that giving really is better than receiving. I don’t mean giving presents, I mean giving your time, your thoughts and your love to your family and friends. See how happy you make them, how happy they make you, remember that you can make a difference and the world is a tiny weeny bit better because of little ol’ you. Some of you will no doubt be travelling far and wide to reconnect with loved ones, both here and overseas and while it may be the last thing on your mind, do take care of yourselves, be safe and reach where you’re going in one happy adorable piece.

The smell alone is enough to recommend these products, just close your eyes and imagine yourself walking along a promenade of dream like cherry blossoms. Cherry Blossom & Lotus Escape Shower Cream The perfect start and end to any day, this beautifully scented shower cream lathers nicely to create a surprisingly dense creamy foam, if that wasn’t enough, the cream can also be used in the bath to leave your skin silky and soft.

  • This Christmas, Give The Gift Of Beauty With BlackBox’s ETUDE HOUSE Edition!

    Our favorite beauty sampling service, BlackBox.sg, just introduced one of their most generous beauty kits yet. Meet their new Etude House edition! I literally melted into a pool of gooeyness when I realized the box offers almost every beauty product on my travel must-have list. From BB Cushion foundations, facial soaps, pore minimizing lotions to anti-aging creams, it tackles all your beauty needs without breaking your precious bank. Aww.. BlackBox and Etude House, bless your cotton socks for this wonderful Christmas surprise. 😀 Looking for a ‘beauty-full’ gift for yourself or your loved ones? Then you’ll have to read on! Psst! Special rates included. 😛 Here’s a rundown of all the items in my BlackBox x Etude House beauty kit: Wonder Pore Special WOW Kit If you have gaping pores like me, then you’re gonna love this 3-step pore-minimizing tri-kit too. It contains a facial soap, freshner (which I assume works like a toner) and essence to reduce the appearance of the pores and moisturize the skin. Wonder Pore Facial Soap (30g) This wonder-full facial soap purifies your skin down to the pores and firms your skin with a gentle massaging effect. How to use? Create lather by rubbing soap with wet hands and gently apply lather onto face. How much? $14 for 80g Wonder Pore Freshner (25ml)  Promising a complete cleansing solution, the special peppermint extract used in this freshner does exactly that! Leaves your skin feeling clean, pure and very fresh. The Freshner also balances pH as part of its repertoire, protecting your skin as it cleanses. How to use? Before skincare, dispense a sufficient amount of Wonder Pore Freshner onto the side of a cotton pad and gently wipe from the inner to the outer areas of face. How much? 250ml $18 / 500ml $32 Wonder Pore Corrector (5ml) This gel spot essence tightens your complexion with its refreshing cooling tip applicator. At the last stage of basic skincare, simply dispense a small amount of the corrector and allow it to absorb into areas that need special care. How to use? For more effective absorption, massage gently with the Wonder Pore Corrector’s cooling tip instead of using fingers. How much? $28 for 25ml One of the winning factors of the range is their key ingredients Mint Vinegar and Anti Pore-Dex Complex that kill off (gulp!) Dermodex and prevent their future growth as well as their ability to control the production of sebum, remove dead skin cells and restore your skin’s hydration levels. All three products smell very minty which makes the experience totally refreshing. My favorite is the Wonder Pore Corrector that gets absorbed very quickly, leaving behind smooth and revitalized skin. 🙂 Age Defense Skin Care Kit While the fountain of youth may be a thing of legend, this age defense skin care kit may be your next best alternative. Containing a unique blend of fermented beans, evening primrose (something I’ve been an advocate of ever since those pimple-icious days of yesteryear) and BIO Peptide, the kit strives to restore your skins’ stamina, boost natural collagen formation, prevent collagen decomposition, while providing antioxidant effects to enhance your skins’ immunity. Age Defense Essential Softener (25ml) This is a softener that provides smooth and firm skin by trying to deliver moisture to the deepest layers of your skin.It has a pleasant clear, non-sticky texture, with a refreshing minty aroma, which dries leaving your skin feeling notably tighter. How to use? Dispense a small amount onto palms during first step of skincare and massage gently from inner to outer areas of face. How much? $35 for 130ml Age Defense Essential Emulsion (25ml) This is an emulsion that firms skin, locking in your skins’ moisture and delivering nutrients deep into the skin. It’s inherently thicker than the softener, but this facilitates the milky lotions ability keep the moisture in your skin where it’s needed. A pleasantly mild scent ensures the emulsion compliments the softener well. How to use? Apply morning and evening after AGE DEFENSE ESSENTIAL Softener. Spread the Emulsion from the center to the sides of the face. How much? $35 for 130ml Age Defense Firming Cream (10ml) This is an all in one complete anti-aging cream boasting wrinkle care and skin protection from deep within. Rich in texture and rich in nutrients, it definitely delivers and locks in moisture but the viscosity is definitely palpable and may not be to everyone’s liking. If moisture is your aim, you need not look further. How to use? After applying serum and eye cream in the morning and evening, pick up a certain amount of cream and spread gently onto forehead, cheeks, and chin. Pat gently afterwards to absorb. How much? $40 for 50ml Precious Mineral Any Cushion SPF 50 PA+++ in W13  Don’t be fooled by this compacts’ diminutive size, it’s truly as feature-packed as they come. Don’t believe me? Here’s proof! I applied the foundation on right side of my face (your left 😛 ) to show you its amazing coverage and ability to make the skin literally glow! And now you know the secret to Korean ladies’ healthy dewy skin. Anywhere, anytime, simply grab this multi-functional cushion to give your skin that much sought after fresh, pearlescent glow and feel confident knowing your skin is receiving sun protection, wrinkle care, moisturization, sebum control and excellent coverage. Yeap, told you it’s power-packed.  Add in its unique skin cooling properties and you’re literally onto a winner. How to use? Pick up the contents with puff and lightly pad on skin. How much? $32 for 15g Precious Mineral BB Cream Kit in W13  How did we ever live without BB creams? Once a novelty, now an essential, no beauty lover is ever more than arms reach from her trusty BB cream sidekick. But BB creams have definitely evolved over the years and you’ll find that no two BB creams are ever the same. Once again, Etude has managed to cram as much goodness as possible into its products. These BB creams are literally bursting at the seams with nutrients providing broad-spectrum SPF 30 sun protection, moisturizing and smoothing properties, offering excellent coverage and correctional features, all whilst packing in whitening, anti-wrinkle and anti-darkening / pigmentation properties. In terms of texture, fragrance, concealing and covering properties, all three are pretty much on par, so it essentially comes down to skin-tone and personal preference. So pick your weapon of choice! Precious Mineral BB Cream Blooming Fit This BB cream keeps your skin bright and radiant without darkening thanks to Etude’s special pearl ingredient, which can actually be found in all three BB creams. Precious Mineral BB Cream Cotton Fit Etude’s bestselling product! This BB cream keeps your skin effortlessly smooth and matte. Precious Mineral BB Perfect Fit This BB cream affords your skin the most moist and clear look of the three. How to use? Apply to all areas of the face. Pat to finish. How much? $25.90 for 60g All in all, I think it’s a great beauty travel kit. Its pocket-friendly price tag just kicks it up a notch. I give it 4 out of 5 Honeyz stars!

  • Put The Roses Back In Your Cheeks With This New BlackBox Edition!

    Roses – one of the most enduring symbols of love and beauty, are now also highly coveted for their multiple beauty benefits. How befitting! Their antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral properties make them perfect for treating an array of ailments such as burns, abrasions and acneic skin. Rose petals also contain efficient emollients for moisturising dry skin and refining skin texture.With all these amazing skincare perks, it would be a huge sin if beauty brands did not incorporate this elixir into our beauty regimens! So I got my very first taste of the ‘wonders of Rose Essential Oil’ through Blackbox’s Special Rose Dew edition . The set is comprised of the Real Rose Toner, Essence and Lotion which all contain high levels of Vitamin C and A to restore the softness and radiance of your tired skin. More specifically, it is made up of Rose Otto Essential Oil. The folks at Rose Dew pride themselves on their unique extraction methods, the result of which is a much purer product with less toxins and impurities, rendering it safe for use on our skin. To make sure the products do not deteriorate in quality and remain fresh for the longest time possible, the contents are also packaged in dark brown glass containers that block out light effectively. Talk about commitment! Well, I guess it’s about time to stop, smell and try the roses now. Click to join me! 😛 Blackbox Exclusive Real Rose Edition “Known as the “Queen of oils”, the Rose Otto Essential Oil has a high concentration of Vitamin C and A, which are effective in reviving tired-looking skin and restoring the softness of your skin.  Products containing Rose Otto Essential Oil are suitable for all skin types and helps to manage skin troubles to give you crystal clear skin over time. ‘Otto’ is one of the extraction methods where the goodness of the rose is extracted using steam distillation. Thus, the Rose Otto Essential Oil contains very little toxins.  Unlike other extraction methods, through this methods the product is safe for use on our skin and the entire range is paraben free.” – Rose Dew Here’s the rundown: Real Rose Illuminating Toner Real Rose Illuminating Toner | 100ml An aromatic blend of 100% rose otto oil and skin benefitting ingredients like aloe vera, allantoin and snail secretion filtrates. This gentle toner hydrates and revitalizes the skin. Retail Size and Price: 100ml, $42 Where to to get it: www.dermabiz.com.sg, OG People’s Park & Essentials Pharmacy My verdict: The first thing that greeted me when I unscrewed the bottle is this seal that protects the contents inside. I always appreciate beauty brands that go the extra mile to ensure the freshness of their products. Of course, the second thing that caught my attention was the aromatic rose fragrance. Take a deep whiff and you’ll feel instantly calm and relaxed too. Since the toner does not contain alcohol, it does not leave a squeaky clean effect on the skin. In fact, the product feels a little more viscous than normal causing the skin to feel slightly tacky to the touch during the first few minutes of application. Toners are meant to balance your skin’s pH levels and act as an astringent to minimise the appearance of your pores. Honestly, I don’t have have sufficient info to prove that the ingredients in this product will balance your pH levels. In fact, skin should be able to balance itself out so that’s not an issue. Also, since the product does not contain alcohol, it’s is definitely not acting as an astringent here. However, I like that the toner contains a beneficial array of skin-reparative and moisturizing ingredients such as glycerin, sodium hyaluronate and even snail secretion filtrates. So if you’re looking to amp up the moisturising factor of your skincare regimen, this is still a great product to add to your beauty stash. 3.5 Honeyz crowns! Real Rose Illuminating Essence Real Rose Illuminating Essence | 50ml Light nourishing beauty essence of 100% rose otto and plant botanicals strengthens skin barrier and results in soft radiant skin with daily use. Retail Size and Price: 50ml, $62 Where to to get it: www.dermabiz.com.sg, OG People’s Park & Essentials Pharmacy My verdict: The rose scent of the essence is a lot more prominent than that of the toner’s. Its consistency is also a lot thicker than the toner’s as you can tell from the photo below. Even though the essence is essentially a more watered-down serum, it still feels pretty concentrated and rich. My skin felt greasy immediately after application. However, the feeling lasted only seconds as the greasiness was quickly replaced by a smooth finish after a few gentle rubs. Just a few drops each time and my skin stays hydrated all day. I also use this on my neck to reduce the tight feeling on my skin after showers. 4 Honeyz crowns! Real Rose Moisture Lotion Real Rose Moisture Lotion | 100ml Uplifting aromatic blend of 100% rose otto oil and plant extracts, this fast absorbing moisturizer is for all skin types including sensitive skin. Its transdermal properties also leave a balanced feeling of toned hydration. Retail Size and Price: 100ml, $46 Where to to get it:  www.dermabiz.com.sg, OG People’s Park & Essentials Pharmacy My verdict: The terms lotion/toners/serums are practically interchangeable these days so when I first saw this, I thought it was a toner. Imagine my confusion when I saw the actual toner in the packaging. So what is this? After reading the label, I realised it’s simply a moisturiser. (Oh yeah! Long before the Japanese referred their toners as lotions, lotions were actually moisturisers.) The texture of the lotion is significantly thicker. Despite its higher viscosity, the product was absorbed by my skin pretty quickly, leaving behind a nice smooth sheen. Long lasting hydrating properties should be non-negotiable in a lotion and since the product delivered just that, I give it a huge thumbs up! My only gripe is the absence of a pump feature to dispense the product. This is what happens when I try to draw the lotion from the tiny opening of the bottle everytime. Besides the lack of pumping mechanism, the lotion works pretty well for me. Here’s a quick comparison of my face before and after using the Real Rose products. I thought the redness on my face is less noticeable now and my skin also looks more taut and supple. Now that’s what I call putting the roses back in your cheeks. 😛 3.5 Honeyz crowns! This Real Rose Exclusive BlackBox is now retailing at SGD32.90 (U.P. $150) but wait for it… wait for it… Honeyz Belles receive a 10% discount! All you have to do is quote BBXJUL10 upon check out and you’ll be entitled to this exclusive offer.

  • Theresa Beauty LED Teeth Whitening Review

    Beautiful hair, impeccable makeup and heavenly ballgowns are indisputably hallmarks of a Disney princess! Hmm… Seems like I got everything covered for the wedding. *happy dance* Oh wait? I think I forgot something. Aww… I sure did. Every Disney princess also has a lovely set of pearly white teeth to mesmerise their Prince Charming. If you’re a fellow city-dweller, you probably would find this all too familiar in the mornings – the alarm clock screaming in the middle of your sweetest dreams resulting in you waking up in shock and jumping out of bed to get ready while still feeling rather asleep. Come on! Who brushes their teeth with their eyes closed too? Then to fight off that doziness, you gulp down a soothing fragrant cup of coffee – EVERY weekday morning. And the ramification of that? Not only do you feel more alert, you’re also one step closer to looking like the Wicked Witch of the West instead. Gulp! So to make sure my bridal beauty routine did not go down in flames, I decided to seek the help of my dental Godmother,  Theresa Beauty , to help with the teeth discolouration problem. And guess what? In the space of just a few weeks, the change was remarkable! Hubby and I felt our gnashers could even be worthy of Colgate’s next toothpaste ad. Haha! Psst! You’ll be happy to know that there was no bleaching or abrasive ingredients involved in the treatments. Seeking a dazzling white smile too? Then you’ll have to read on! Upon arrival, we were greeted with a warm welcome by Sandra of Theresa Beauty who took care of all our treatments for the day. Our warm welcome included a nice cup of tea before all the magic began. Whoopee! Every treatment is preceded by a consultation session to evaluate the current state of your teeth and also to explain the procedures of the treatment. The Consultation Room Our tooth shade was measured based on this teeth color chart. According to Sandra, besides food and drinks that are high in tannins, aging can also cause teeth to yellow. As we age, the outer layer of enamel on your teeth gets thinner due to wear and tear which eventually unveils the natural yellow colour of dentin. And of course, other factors that affect the color of our teeth includes smoking, genetics as well as poor dental hygiene. Now, let’s assess our dental situation. 😛 My teeth was a Shade 14 before the treatment. While B’s at Shade 30 due to his uncontrollable love for Coke Zero. Tsk tsk! For best results, we were told we need to ‘start with a clean slate’. So we were given these cleaning wipes to remove all the gunk on the surface of our teeth. We were also given these cool safety glasses to protect our eyes from the light beams of the LED treatment later. Guess our new sci-fi hero! 😛 Cyclops of X- Men 😛 Thereafter, we were introduced to these tools to kick off our treatments of the day. 🙂 Sandra squirted the whitening gel, that was specially formulated by Theresa Beauty, on the mouthpiece before placing them in our mouths. And we went from looking like superheroes to the Titans from Attack on Titan. Haha! To be honest, I wasn’t the most comfortable due to a painful teeth whitening experience at another beauty salon several years back that left me wary of harsh chemical whitening treatments. Sandra assured me that the treatment would not trigger the same side effects I experienced before as Theresa Beauty’s whitening gel does not contain harsh ingredients such as hydrogen peroxide. In fact, its imbued with natural ingredients such as sodium bicarbonate (aka baking soda) which is also its key whitening agent. Besides removing stains, the gel can also neutralize and counteract bacterial acids in the mouth too. Yay! However, no man is an island. The gel needs to work in tandem with Theresa Beauty’s latest Light-Emitting Diode (LED) technology in order to react with the enamel, penetrate the pores and break down the discolouration molecules in the teeth. Hence, the next step was to place this LED device a few centimetres away from our teeth for 30 minutes. The blue beam would activate the properties of the gel and allow it to perform its task more effectively. And now we wait. 🙂 It was a rather comfortable process as you can probably tell from the photo above. I was falling asleep! The only thing I felt was the warm sensation from the light source. Okay, there was one thing that I didn’t exactly enjoy – the saliva gathering at my mouth throughout the treatment. The staff at Theresa Beauty assured me that it was perfectly fine to swallow my saliva but since I didn’t really like the idea of ingesting the whitening gel, I allowed it to accumulate in my mouth. Eek! To make sure I don’t stay uncomfortable for too long, our thoughtful therapists were already on standby with water and a tray, minutes before the treatment alarm on the LED device went off to allow me to discard the saliva immediately. And then, we were done! Well, I guess it was all worth it as my teeth was visibly four shades lighter after the 30 minutes treatment. And so had B’s. We were still five weeks away from our wedding so Sandra suggested that we come back for another treatment in four weeks to improve the treatment results further. And we did and guess what? My teeth is now at Shade 8. Whee! And B’s at Shade 16 – a whopping 14 shades lighter! After the treatment, the kind folks at Theresa Beauty not only gave us a complete teeth whitening home kit, they also conveyed their well wishes for our wedding with this cute flower and a beautifully handwritten greeting card. We can’t ask for better service than this. Thank you Sandra and Theresa Beauty! So, white gown – check, sparkly shoes – check, crystal tiara – check, pearly white smile – check! The Bio Intense Whitening Treatment is now available at SGD98 only (U.P. SGD198). Contact Theresa Beauty at +65 6482 1187 to find out more!

  • Violet Closet – Where Fashion Meets Passion

    Advertorial Attention bona-fide fashionistas! New kid – Violet Closet has arrived on the fashion block and they are all set to dazzle your wardrobe with their inaugural collection – Swirl of Romance! Well, I know my face is on the cover but sadly, Violet Closet (VC) is not my latest business venture. In fact, the esteemed online store belongs to my best friends Jo and SJ! Jo(left) and SJ (right). Jo and SJ are well-known among our circle of friends for their trendy and exquisite fashion tastes. These fashion lovers are always spotted carrying the latest IT bag or clad in the most stylish clothes. With this, it is no surprise that our conversation topics never sway away from the finest on the runways and the most glamorous couture collections. Their passion for fashion has definitely made them our fashion royalties. Hence, we were thrilled when they decided to bring their passion to the next level by opening their first online fashion store to showcase clothes that reflect their good taste and affection for fashion. I guess this is all well explained in their slogan – Where fashion meets passion . And your humble blogger was invited to model for their first collection. Whoopie! I have an extremely pear-shaped body such that my heavy bottom prevents me from wearing Size S from most blogshops and my less endowed figure does not fit most Size M clothes too. Imagine the exasperation when shopping for clothes for my body shape! 🙁 So I was ecstatic when VC brought in clothes that were mostly catered to body shapes like mine. Here are some of my faves. Melrose Midi (SGD30) If you have a pear-shaped figure, it probably also means you have thunder thighs. The fashion remedy for such figures is to hide the thighs with a long skirt and expose your shoulders to give the illusion of longer legs and a shapely bod. VC’s midi dresses delivers just that, especially this peach number where gorgeous collar bones are exposed and saddlebags ‘never see the light of day’ under its beautiful pleats and non-sheer chiffon fabric. Sophie Midi (SGD30) Animals prints are really popular these days but not many can offer such sophistication and modern flair as this roaring leopard dress. The inner lining strategically stops at the knee level beneath the sheer wildcat prints to give off a peekaboo effect at the calves region. I love its effortless and chic style. So ladies, sashay into a party in this wild yet feminine VC dress and leave beholders lusting and in awe! Carey Peterpan Midi (SGD30) Who says you can’t be conservative and stylish at the same time? The modest cut and cute buttons exude absolute professionalism and inner charm. But what’s more attractive is how the vintage inspired dress deviates from the norm with its minty fabric and bold mustard Peter Pan collar to bring out the sassiness and individuality of the wearer. For maximum charm factor, cinch waist with a twisted rope belt to skim curves and to accentuate your hourglass figure. Lauren Lace (SGD25) Lace it up with VC’s Lauren Lace top! Lace is the quintessence of a classic yet in-vogue trend. We know that lace outfits are definitely the way to go now as we spot A-List celebs in this classic Hollywood favorite fabric. From left to right: Blake Lively, Hayden Panettiere and Emma Watson Even Audrey Hepburn was a fan! VC not only celebrates the lace trend but ups the fashion game with this season’s favorites – floral prints. Lace floral pattern blouse in black and white. What more can we ask for? Belle Polka Dot Blouse (SGD25) Polka dots are perennial classics that have survived the 70s, 80s, 90s… until now. World renowned designers and stylists are still advocating this trend and I doubt it’s going away any time soon. Credits: whowhatwear.com VC embraces this trend with the release of their Belle Polka Dot blouse that is bound to capture the hearts of fashion gurus and style lovers with its soft comfortable mint fabric that is covered in cute white dots. It’s not everyday that we can find style and comfort all rolled into one! So why are you still here? Visit their website at violetcloset.livejournal.com and like their Facebook page for the latest on discounts and new collections! Psst! Don’t miss out on their opening offer – Free normal postage for items in their first collection – Swirl of Romance! Before I sign off, I thought you might be interested to see some of the behind the scenes photos of the shoot. Now kick off your week with fabulous pieces from Violet Closet !

  • Beauty Review: Enprani Face Designer Auto Pat

    Advertorial Convenient? Checked! Functional?? Checked! Hygienic??? Double checked! That’s right ladies, I am referring to none other than the Enprani Face Designer Auto Pat! Liquid foundation is a hot favorite amongst millions of women as it makes our skin look luminous, yet natural looking when applied. But how do you ensure that your liquid foundation is blended evenly? There are many different ways to apply liquid foundation. I guess the most common practice is to dab the foundation on your face with your fingers. Well… This method is convenient but inadequate as it usually results in an uneven looking skin tone or an overdone look. This method is also very unhygienic as the millions of germs that are lurking under our nails and fingers may be transferred to our face. The foundation is the base of your makeup. So adequately setting the foundation will have you looking impeccably flawless and polished and it will also help you stay that way longer. So what are the other options? Besides our fingers, we may also use sponges and brushes for our foundation application. Even though these makeup tools produce a more even and dewy finish, I’m a larger fan of a recent discovery – Enprani’s motorized foundation applicators. Confused? See video below! Yes. This is the latest beauty sensation that has taken the K-town beautyland by storm. The foundation applicator (Enprani Face Designer Auto Pat) vibrates 4,500 times per minute to ensure that the liquid foundation is spread evenly on the skin. The team at Enprani believes that these microvibrations produces a smoother and more even finish, while creating softer skin over time. Hygiene fans are going to rejoice too because this means you will not have to worry about transferring germs from the hands to the face and getting foundation all over your hands again! Here’s a mini demonstration. I squirted some foundation on the foundation pad. The applicator has two power levels. So I used the higher power on my cheeks and forehead and lower power on my eye, nose and lips area. I switched on the higher power and the foundation immediately flow down slightly as shown below. So I highly recommend you to eject only a small amount of foundation each time to prevent the liquid from dripping off the machine. Here we go! I applied my foundation with Enprani Face Designer Auto Pat on the right side of my face and with my fingers on my left. Here were the results… With the Enprani Face Designer Auto Pat, my large pores were instantly concealed and my skin tone looked revitalized and radiant. Usually, my foundation will start streaking after a couple of hours but the good set has prevented my foundation from sliding too early by blending it evenly onto my skin. So I had a dewy and fresh look for hours! The vibrating action had also made me feel more awake which consequently energized my dull looking complexion. Besides a smoother and cleaner foundation application, the applicator also acts as a face masseur to give your skin that added softness and smooth texture. You may also use the machine to apply your moisturizers and night creams. The vibrating motion will help moisturizers penetrate deeply into the skin layers for maximum hydration. Do this by simply replacing the foundation puff with a clean puff. Do not worry about buying extra puffs as the Enprani Face Designer Auto Pat not only comes with an applicator, it also consists of one bottle foundation 15ml, one tube foundation 15ml, 5 puffs and 2 AA batteries. And all these at only SGD138! It’s a steal I tell you! Enpani Face Designer Auto Pat and Perfect One Foundation The Enprani Face Designer Foundation is a 6-in-1 product : makeup base, whitening, anti-wrinkle, UV protection, foundation. It contains honey, daisy flower and antioxidants to help moisturize and protect the skin. Its applicator head allows you to apply the foundation on your face before spreading it with the Face Designer Auto Pat. Amazing isn’t it?

  • Bag Review: Marc by Marc Jacobs’ Pretty Nylon Printed 13″ Computer Commuter in Tapioca M

    As a new season approaches, I put away last season’s favorites to make way for new fashion delights for my already exploding wardrobe. And this applies to my trusty Macbook too. Hey MB, check out your new clothes! My laptop (MacBook Pro 13″) is my bestest friend. My entire life practically depends on it, from work, to surf and play, to shopping and most importantly to Facebooking! So I make sure I give my best friend the best by giving ‘her’ (yes, it’s a she) the most fashionable protection. Haha! A few months ago, I was shopping in Harajuku, Tokyo when I spotted a sleek white building with the logo ‘Marc by Marc Jacobs’ on it. I squealed before dashing into this five year old store of the global fashion brand. Here’s a brief history of Marc by Marc Jacobs (MBMJ). Introduced in the spring of 2001, Marc by Marc Jacobs is the diffusion line of Marc Jacobs that produces avant-garde fashion designs that retail at lower pricelines. And it was there that I spotted this nifty laptop bag at 13,000 Yen (SGD207) from their Spring-Summer 2012 collection. So I swiftly brought it home! Please allow me to walk you through its cool features. The nylon laptop case is stylishly decorated with Marc Jacobs signature quilting and riveted with an exquisite heritage logo plate. The laptop bag came with a soft and lightweight dust bag as shown below. Even though its zipper is not the smoothest I’ve tried, its edgy design still wins me over. There are two ways to wear the bag. You can either hold the fabric handles or use the detachable and adjustable crossbody strap. The fabric strap drop length is 5”. The length of the shoulder strap drop is 11″ to 22″. This is how the bag looks like on my 161cm (approximately 5’3 feet) frame. Back to the features… I like that the stylish harness clip does not require a lot of force to put on and take off which made it very nail-friendly. The bag also came with a foam pad to maintain the shape of the bag. The interior of the computer case is my most favorite feature. It is lined with faux fur and protective microfiber that is very comfortable to touch. 🙂 The dimensions of the bag are 13″W x 10″H x 2″D so my 13” Macbook fits snugly inside the bag. Besides the Macbook, I reckon most 13-inch laptops will also fit comfortably. I found this photo rather hoodwinking as the bag can definitely contain more than a Macbook. I’d stuffed it with one magazine, one Macbook, one external hard disk and an Apple magic mouse and I could still zip the bag with ease. 🙂 However, to ensure a longer lifespan of the bag, I don’t encourage you to do this often. 😛 The bag provides a convenient exterior velcro pocket for my mouse, gadgets and paraphernalia. Frankly, this was a rather impulsive buy. Before this purchase, my Macbook was already comfortably dressed in Fabrix , but I couldn’t resist the colorful bright prints and the cool logo plaque of this MBMJ bag. The sewing and seams were reasonably well-constructed. Only one loose thread spotted. The only drawback is the fact that the fabric is prone to dirt. Otherwise, I think it was totally worth purging my Fabrix case for this Marc Jacobs darling. Psst! I checked out the MBMJ store at Takashimaya recently and a MBMJ sales assistant told me that the bag was sold within a few weeks of launch. But don’t fret. I spotted other Tapioca Multi cosmetic cases and handbags. MBMJ has also launched more laptop bags for their fall collection, albeit with the same specifications as the Tapioca Multi, they looked edgier and classier. You can check them out here . To sum it up… A fashionable computer bag that protects my technology with elegant plush lining and also a stylish and convenient companion for my globetrotting adventures. 4.5 Honeyz crowns! More Marc Jacobs bags in the future? Definitely! Your friend, Juliana Disclaimer: Honeyz bag reviews are NOT advertorial posts for the bags or brands.

  • Fashion Review: Triselle Layer Chain Necklace

    Epitomize the effortless chic and downtown style with carefully crafted accessories from Triselle.com ! Fall trend alert! This fall, I am loving the chain necklace and my celebrity style crushes are totally approving it too! Check out Miley Cyrus, Jessica Alba, Selena Gomez and Zendaya Coleman in adorbs chain necklaces! Credits: accessories.about.com Credits: www.funkyjewelry.org Credits: www.bopandtigerbeat.com Triselle.com celebrates this trend with a very lovely assortment of chain necklaces in their store. Dual Chain Necklace, SGD24.90 Long Braided Necklace, SGD21.90 Here’s my pick! Layer Chain Necklace, SGD24.90 Afterthoughts… So what do you think of it? I picked it for its versatility – I’ve worn it with feminine floral dresses, androgynous clothes and cool edgy outfits. It went really well with all of them. The necklace comprises seven black chains and three warm gold chains that totally compliments my pale skin tone. It is 19 inches long when clasped. Since the funky accessory is not very long, it is impossible to make another loop. So don’t expect a double layered necklace look with this Triselle darling, unless you like chokers (pun fully intended). I’ve been wearing this almost everyday and the brushed-gold chains have not tarnished. This is very unlike my Forever 21 gold necklaces that usually fade out after the first wear. Well, if you’re looking for a statement piece, this is definitely not the accessory for you. But if you’re looking for something subtle and understated but edgy and affordable, I’ll highly recommend you to purchase this necklace. 4.5 Honeyz crowns! Photography Model Brighten your outfits this weekend with Triselle Accessories ! TGIF Honeyz Belles! Your friend, Juliana Disclaimer: I know I’m going to sound like a broken record but I would like to emphasize again that Honeyz fashion reviews are NOT advertorial posts. I do not endorse any of those brands featured. Rather, I’m trying to show you how normal girls (girls with non-supermodel statures) look like in clothing from these famous boutiques. This is to aid you in making informed purchase decisions when it comes to updating your fashion wardrobe. 🙂 #fashion #fashionreview #Triselle

  • Rachel K ‘See the Difference’ Launch Party

    Were I to sum up the Rachel K Skincare Launch Party in a few words, it would be this: A sizzling evening of mindless laughter with beauty lovers and leading social media personnel set against the tranquil backdrop of a nature reserve at Spa Boutique ! Yes, the innovation never stops! After the resounding success of their cosmetics line, budding young beauty brand, Rachel K is back to conquer the beauty scene with their latest skincare range ‘See the Difference’. This time Rachel Kum (founder of Rachel K Cosmetics and Miss Singapore Universe 2009) employs cutting edge technology and the most advanced anti-ageing ingredients that includes Swiss Apple Stem Cell extract to help ordinary girls like us achieve ‘beauty queen’ complexion! And to celebrate the birth of this new skincare range, Rachel K held a product launch party at urban sanctuary, Spa Boutique. I attended the event in my capacity as a review blogger. You bet that I was both happy and honored when I received this stylish invitation. Upon arrival, I was promptly greeted by the friendly beauty queen, Rachel Kum herself! Yes. Despite being very busy with the organization of the event and logistics, she still made time to personally welcome us to the event and even made small talk with some of us. In the flesh, she is even more beautiful, slim and radiant than she appears in print ads. But what resonated most with me was her friendly and humble personality and her bright warm smiles. So here I am with Elrica . Well, it is definitely not the best photo we had taken that night. My camera (Lumix GF2) does not capture that well at night. Its so-called DSLR properties do not help either. So tried for another shot with flash this time. Hmm.. not too bad. We met the other invitees and took photos while waiting for the rest of the guests to arrive. From left to right: Amanda, me, Elrica, Priyanka, Michelle and Qiuting Then the party was kick-started by Lush 99.5FM DJ, Angelique Teo’s sweet introduction of the Rachel K brand and a chic selection of yummylicious canapes and candy pop sticks. Event host – Angelique Teo The girls were crazy about the good-looking and delicious canapes! From left to right: Carrie, Ju-ann and Elrica Credits: https://www.facebook.com/Rachelkcosmetics The star of the show! Well, you know they are ‘show-stealers’ when you see this… Bloggers crowd around the Rachel K products. Even I was busy snapping photos of these revolutionary beauty products! Snap, snap, snap! This was a Rachel K event so there was no way we were not going to invite the founder of the brand, Rachel to speak! Credits: https://www.facebook.com/Rachelkcosmetics So there she was, in all her elegance, addressing her guests and media friends. Credits: https://www.facebook.com/Rachelkcosmetics Next, we were wowed by a product demonstration by Youtube make-up guru Sarah Chaudhry. She prepped the model’s face for makeup with products from the Rachel K skincare line and finished off the process with the Radiance Illuminator ‘Lotus Stem Cell’ Hydrogel Mask. Credits: https://www.facebook.com/Rachelkcosmetics After 15 minutes, the mask was removed and it revealed a more radiant complexion. Then Sarah perked up the model’s look with Rachel K cosmetics. After the interesting and informative product demo, we all took turns to take photos with Rachel. Rachel and Elrica. Starstruck me and Rachel. The penultimate segment of the party was a lucky draw. Winners of the lucky draw got to take photos with Rachel while wearing her Miss Universe crown! Nope, they did not get to keep the crown. Still, it was a great privilege, don’t you think? Then the event culminated with a group photo. Credits: https://www.facebook.com/Rachelkcosmetics Thanks Rachel, Karen and the rest of the Rachel K team for the invitation. You guys did an awesome job and congratulations on an extremely successful and well-attended event! Well, now we’ve come to the more exciting part of this post. What’s in the goodie bag????!! It’s crazy! I received ten items in total including a photo souvenir from the event! Ever since I started using Rachel K’s CC cream , I’ve been a convert. I love their products. In fact I’ve been trying to get my hands on their Mineral CC Pressed Powder too! But it is always sold out. Hrmph! Actually, I also secretly wished Rachel K will invite me to their press events! 😛 So receiving the invitation and their goodie bag was pretty much like this… The blue fairy appears and rewards Pinocchio by giving him life. Pinocchio must haven been ecstatic. Well, I guess I had the same feeling too when I received my goodies. 😛 These were the products in my Rachel K launch party goodie bag. Radiance Illuminator Hydrogel Mask The mask delivers 11-18% more moisture than traditional skincare sheet masks.

  • Salon Review: My Little Nail Space by Ginza

    Sponsored Review Besides chunky accessories and pretty hairdos, beautiful nails are also important adornments to complete a stylish appearance. And big kudos to Streedirectory.com , who gave me a nice salon treat to dress up my nails! This time at My Little Nail Space ! It is a bright Friday afternoon and to make it even brighter… I’m on my way to My Little Nail Space at Whampoa West for a nails revamp! I’m not familiar with Whampoa area so not surprisingly, I felt lost the moment my train arrived at Boon Keng MRT. Whipped out my phone for directions. Courtesy of Streetdirectory.com app With the assistance of my Streetdirectory.com app , I left Boon Keng MRT via Exit B, headed right towards the block of flats and arrived at the salon within three minutes. 🙂 Jean (the owner of My Little Nail Space) came out to receive me. Haha! I felt like a celebrity! I entered their premises and was immediately overwhelmed by the hundreds of nail polish colors at their reception. I’m super into interior design right now, and I’m all for Edwardian decor and intricate Victorian details. So I can’t help but notice that they did not use the traditional chandelier for their Edwardian theme. Instead, they opted for a planet-like lamp as the room’s centerpiece. Very creative. The overall look was refreshing and very welcoming. Then I was promptly ushered to my seat for my nail treatment. I sat beside Samantha (a regular Nail Space customer) whom I thought had a really nice pair of legs and a set of gorgeous toe nails. Don’t get me wrong. I do not have a feet fetish. But she did have nice toes and nails. See for yourself! At this juncture, I noticed that the Nail Space nail technician was decorating Samantha’s toe nails with beautifully drawn flowers. She was like a Nail Picasso! Check out the “canvas”! No photos of Samantha as she was very shy so more photos of her tootsies and nails! The final product! Incredible skills. Now you know where to go for hand drawn nail art! Nail Space has many nail art catalogues like the one shown below and I was asked to choose my favorite nail design from one of them. While I was trying to rack my brains to decide the design I want, I noticed Jean’s gorgeous french jeweled nails. And I immediately made my decision. 🙂 Now let’s get down to work! Winnie (my nail magician for the afternoon) carefully removed my ‘pink and pearls’. Winnie applied acetone on my nails with a cotton pad then wrapped my fingers with tin foil. Alien fingers! Cut, file, buff! Nail and Hand Harmony’s Gelish ‘Black Shadow’ was used for the tip. Then my nails were sent to the LED Lamp (aka oven) for curing. This will dry the gel polish within seconds without smudging. Winnie added gelish color ‘Water Field’ for the glittery effect. Winnie thought my nails weren’t glittery enough so she went all out and sprinkled bigger glitters for a disco ball effect. And after some curing… Tadah! Winnie was such a perfectionist. During the filing and trimming, she made sure that every detail was taken care of – cuticles were pushed back, peeling skin were removed and nails tips were shaped neatly. She also applied several coats of polish to ensure a long lasting finish. Even though the session took longer than usual, I was thankful that nothing was overlooked as my nails looked perfect afterwards! Afterthoughts… I always had the impression that black polish is a nail fashion faux pas. Somehow, I thought they might make nails appear shorter and stouter or look too spunky on our dainty fingers. Well, I guess I was wrong. Black nail polish can create more flattering proportions. My nails did not look shorter, instead they looked elegantly longer. Thank you Nail Space for the wonderful service and ‘nail color enlightenment’. Haha! All in all, I love the friendly atmosphere and cozy environment of the salon. I also like that the salon offers a vast array of nail polish hues to choose from. For their great service and talented nail technicians, 4 Honeyz crowns! Great news nail fashionistas!
