Hello Beautiful Friends

I was invited to Sample Store's first ever Beauty Show at Carnivore Brazilian Churrascaria at The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands on Sunday, 2nd April and I was really having so much fun and enjoying myself at the Beauty Show. There were guest appearance by Grand Finalists from SING!China Season 2 Singapore Selections, exclusive preview of new-to-Singapore beauty products from Taiwan, learn on-trend beauty tips from the beauty expert, Candy Tiong, lucky draw to win a pair of air tickets to Taiwan and Bangkok + Shopping Vouchers and Hossan Leong as host of the live show.

Delicious and hearty lunch provided by Carnivore Brazilian Churrascaria to all invited bloggers.

Juscool Sparkling Passion Fruit drink was also provided and of course, a super awesome beauty goodie bag from Beauty Keeper!

 

The lovely stage :)

 

Live show hosted by Hossan Leong (He was super funny & entertaining and I enjoyed him hosting the show so much), Special guest appearance by Grand Finalists from SING!China Season 2 Singapore Selections, Beauty tips & Make up demo by beauty expert & professional make up artist, Candy Tiong. Thanks to Candy & Hossan, I learned a lot about beauty from the outside (through make up demo) and from the inside as well (example of antioxidant foods I can eat for healthy skin such as berries, kale, sweet potato, broccoli, pumpkin, etc and to drink 1 mug of water with lemon after I wake up every morning)

Here's my super awesome goodie bag by Beauty Keeper :)

 

One of the products impressed me so much is this one. Skin Care Towel from All Belle ~ Taiwan. It has Nanofibers (250 times smaller than the human hair) to cleanse deep into pores and supposedly, it simply just used water to clean my make up. (Wet towel with water & start wiping make up off). Long story cut short, it worked like magic in removing my foundation, eyeshadow & eyeliner. Because I was wearing waterproof mascara, I just needed to add a bit of cleansing Oil and all wiped off cleanly. How to clean this towel? So easy, I use my old make up remover I'm no longer using, Clean & rinse with water, hang & dry it and this towel is clean again like new. (My eyebrows are the result of embroidery if you wonder why my eyebrows are still there lol) I love how environmental friendly this towel is, how much money I can save (no longer need to buy make up remover sheet or wet tissue) and it's so gentle & safe for my skin! (Good bye harsh cleansing chemicals) highly recommend this to ladies who want to save more $$$ and have sensitive skin. This towel is a must to have! I wear light foundation daily & I just need this towel to clean my face before I wash with Cleansing foam. So quick & easy!

Super love Phytopia Slimway! The slimming oil is designed to shape body in 2-4 weeks! When it's applied on tummy, it can work as appetite suppressant! I apply this every night before I go to bed and the scent is just really soothing ~ reminds me to baby oil (Indonesian Minyak Telon) hope to see that it really can slim down my tummy and thighs.

 

My next product I truly love from Beauty Keeper is Taiwanese Aboriginal Facial Mask. I tested on Caviar & Taro Facial Mask (for anti aging), put it on for 20 minutes before I went to bed and I was surprised to see my skin became so soft just like baby skin. This mask has unique application, step 1 is to apply Serum and step 2 is to apply mask (the mask is also already enriched with the beauty goodness, so it's very rich in texture & super moist) absolutely a facial mask I would love to use weekly to deep hydrate my dry skin!

One of the most awesome products from Beauty Keeper which I received in my Sample Store Beauty Show Goodie Bag is Destino Advanced Repairing Face Soap. It's high in antioxidant, repairs & restores skin damage. I really love this soap, it really did deep cleansing to my pores very well but it didn't make my dry skin dehydrated! After one wash, I can see that my face is actually brighter! The next morning, I woke up with baby smooth skin (after using destino soap, I put on Taiwanese Aboriginal mask)

Starsuki lipstick swatches! I'm trying out coral color on my lips (more towards soft orangey color to me) super pigmented & I love it!

Do check Beauty Keeper out at www.beauty-keeper.com because they really have super awesome beauty products!

 

 

Stay beautiful as always, love

Sample Store Ka Bloom + Launch of Sample Store's Mobile App

Last month, on 5th of September, I was invited to Sample Store Ka Bloom + event for the launch of Sample Store's Mobile App. Sample Store is now available on mobile phone. You can get the mobile app on Apple Store or Google Play now for free. You can also download it here at http://www.samplestore.com/mobileapp

Unfortunately I couldn't attend the event due to personal matters I needed to attend on that day. I will definitely attend the event next year

I have been a big fan of Korean beauty products for more than 10 years and now thanks to Sample Store & Cathy Doll for sending me super nice Korean beauty products to try and review on my blog, my skin looks greater now! Cathy Doll is a brand from Thailand, selling Korean beauty products available at http://www.karmarts.com.sg

And here's my review:

1) Cathy Doll Water Splash Essence

This product is all the time best seller! It contains mineral water essence and glutathione to hydrate skin, instantly brighten and effectively moisturize. After putting water splash essence on my face, I feel so fresh and I am surprised with the instant brightening effect. Before VS after, you can see "after" is brighter than "before" it really works as it claims!

2) Cathy Doll Whitening Sunscreen

This is also another best seller product I like. It has highly efficient UV Protection SPF 50+ PA+++ and L-Glutathione Magic cream to brighten dull skin, moisturize dry skin, conceal spots/blemishes and it's also paraben-free, waterproof and non chalky formula. What I love from this whitening sunscreen is the cooling effect and it doesn't feel sticky at all which I like and it does have instant brightening effect as you can see from my pic. A perfect solution to look good and fresh for morning jog under hot sun in just 1 minute!

3) Cathy Doll CC Cream Speed White

The onsen mineral water technology deeply moisturizes dry skin, formulated to feel lightweight and grease free and it also contains SPF50+ PA+++ which I like. What I love from this CC cream is the lightweight effect on my face. It also brightens my face instantly. Lightweight and grease free are formulas needed for hot & humid country like Singapore where we sweat a lot more!

Can you tell my complexion looks better?

4) Cathy Doll CC Speed White Powder Pact

Less oil, lightweight, easy to spread and paraben free formula. It also has SPF40 PA+++ formula which I like. This one is my perfect quick solution when I need to rush out with my 2 kids. I just need a few applications of CC Speed White Powder Pact with lipstick and I'm done & ready to go out with good complexion! It really has immediate result to brighten my skin and maintain a smooth complexion all day long!

I'm really happy with Cathy Doll products. The packaging and overall look are really pretty, girly and attractive which I super love and seriously irresistible!

Thank you Cathy Doll for making me look good in just a few minutes time!

 

 

Sample Store Editors' Party

A couple of weeks ago, on 22nd August, Saturday, I was invited by Sample Store to attend Sample Store Editors' Party. Thank you Sample Store team for organizing such an awesome party for all Sample Store Editors! It was my first editors' party and I was really excited knowing I got to meet so many wonderful & good looking ladies at the event. I felt a bit nervous too hahaa.. I was like planning what to dress up, what shoes to wear and what hand bag to carry, etc.. Despite having 6 extra kg of baby weight stuck inside me, I determined to look at least presentable. Lol!

The Sample Editors' party was conducted at Full of Crab, located at 195 East Coast Road Singapore 428900 (nearby i12 Katong Mall). Full of Crab is an American styled restaurant that serves fresh seafood with bursting flavors, cooked with tasty sauces such as Cajun, Garlic and more secret ingredients. The decor of this restaurant caught my eyes the moment I stepped in. It was unique and cozy. It looked like a good hang-out place with good food to spend quality time with family & friends.

The boss of the restaurant was so generous, all of us were fed well with generous portion of crabs, seafood, fries, cajun wings, fried sweet potato, free flow of soft drink and many more. The portion was too generous that we couldn't finish all. The food was too good and I was particularly impressed with the delicious garlic butter crabs and cajun wings. It was one of the best ever! To a food lover like me, I was kind of missing the taste when I was back home. so, I nagged my husband to bring me back to Full of Crab next week and he said "yes".

 

Ready to eat

 

Super delicious food, are you drooling now?

 

I can't wait to have my wonderful dining experience at Full of Crab again. For more information, please visit Full of Crab website: http://www.fullofcrab.com

 

  

Sample Store Editors were not only pampered with good food but were also exclusively pampered by FOMO Digital, the one stop social media marketing solution provider.  

 

The editors were allowed to take as many pictures as possible, got our pictures edited and uploaded into social media such as Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, etc and got our pictures printed on the spot.

It was instant and personalized. The "on the spot" instant photo printing was awesome and I loved the good service provided by FOMO Digital team too! They did a really good job. For more information on how to engage their service, please visit their website at https://www.fomodigital.com
