Review: MOSCHINO PINK FRESH COUTURE

FullSizeRender-1

Arent we all attracted to this bottle at first sight? Moschino is a brand known to many of us for their quirky style, which I admire so much!

 

This is surprising as the fragrance from this bottle gives off sweet and flowery nodes!!!

To dispense/spray, here is how it looks like!

Caps off!!!

 

This fragrance for her, interprets the original essence in a delightful and refreshing way.

 

The sweet pink colour code of the bottle gives off spring/summer vibes.

 

If you are curious what the fragrance smell like, here is an illustration on this bottle of goodness!

I love it because it gives off a girly vibe with and edge.

Product Review : Physiogel Daily Defence Facial Care

As someone who loves outdoors, I’m constantly exposed to environmental aggressors and modern pollutants which may potentially cause my skin to be more sensitive.

When I say environmental aggressors, they would mean the day-to-day environmental factors we face, such as – UV rays, haze and cigarette smoke. We face these pollutants daily, begging the question: How do we defend our skin against these harmful pollutants?IMG_1830

Here’s a solution! It’s Physiogel Daily Defence Facial Care range to the rescue!!!!!

From the left to right: 

DD Protective Day Cream (Light), DD Protective Day Cream (Rich), DD Replenishing Night Cream and DD Gentle Facial Cleanser.

I recalled when I first received this media package and posted it on my IG story, someone actually DM’ed me and said, omg this series is ultra good!!! You must try it!!!!

I did and here’s my review on the products!

 

IMG_1809

 

I’ve been using the facial cleanser to clean off the light makeup on my skin for the past 2 weeks. The formula is light, fragrance-free (super useful for people with ultra sensitive skin), and non-greasy. This cleanser does exactly what a cleanser should, and I have no complaints about it! 

 

FullSizeRender.jpg-1

As you can see from the picture above, it helped to remove that much of impurities – in this case my makeup – in just one swipe.

IMG_1820

 

This cleanser purifies and refreshes effectively without stripping off the moisture on your face, leaving your skin soft and supple.

 

IMG_1824

 

Next up, it’s the Daily Defence Day Cream.

You know how day creams can be heavy and uncomfortable after application? However, this cream is good for sensitive skin because it is light, not heavy on the skin and most importantly, it blocks out harmful UVA and UVB rays.

UVA rays causes aging (I HATE THIS!) and UVB rays causes burning and pigmentation. Hence, having a day cream that blocks out both UVA and UVB rays minimizes the number of products I use before heading out. This saves me a lot of time.

 

IMG_1821.JPG

 

There are two types of Daily Defence Day Cream to choose from– Light and Rich. I prefer the Light one as I feel my skin takes lighter formulas better. However, I would recommend the usage of the richer formula when you are in a cold and dry country.

Moisturizing is a vital step in my skincare regime. I can safely say that I have used a couple of Physiogel moisturizers and I have no qualms about this range at all!

IMG_1828

 

Here’s me with no foundation – only the Daily Defence Day Cream Light. This gave a dewy look effect on my skin. Don’t you guys agree?

Key points: 

  •  It has UVA/UVB protection 
  •  BioMimic Technology repairs the skin’s natural barriers by mimicking the structure of our skin – helping to retain the moisture in our skin 
  •  Protects our skin from damaging free radicals 

I like how I have found a product range that suitable for sensitive skin. Physiogel did not disappoint and totally nailed that!

 

 

Review: The Moisturizers Co. – Cell Regenerate Gel Cream / Brightening Moisturizing Cream

The Moisturizers Co.™ creates a new age moisturizer that penetrates the skin deep with it’s active ingredients specially formulated by the moisturizers experts – skincare chemists.

IMG_2258

Was sent a day moisturizer (top)Cell Regenerate Gel Cream with Mulberry and Squalane and the night moisturizer (bottom)Brightening Moisturizing Cream with Arbutin and Vitamins.

& Oh! BTW!!! The Moisturizers Co.™ is a Singaporean brand!!! It is always a good thing to support local! & Trust me when I say that their moisturizers are LEGIT stuff!

You know how humid Singapore is and having heavy products on the skin is just a no-no? I am a classic example of a person that doesn’t include moisturizing as part of my skincare regime. Why? Most moisturizers in the market are either:

  1. Too oily
  2. Smells bad
  3. Doesn’t absorb into the skin fast enough; feels super heavy on the skin when applied

& do you know that even if you have SUPER oily skin, there is still a need to moisturize? This is because when the skin feels that it is lacking of moisture, it will produce more sebum – oilier skin and more acne/pimples :O

So lets all debunk this myth of ‘oily skin – don’t need to moisturize cause enough moisture in the skin’

Now, what about dry skin?

What if you don’t moisturize?

Dry skins are usually very prone to wrinkling and as a result, YOU AGE FASTER!!!!

Hence, having a moisturized skin is important.

If you are wondering which category I belong to?

I have super dry skin, which means if I don’t start the moisturizing habit since the ‘tender age’ of 26, I might prematurely age faster 🙁

This scares me. HAHA.

IMG_2259

Cell Regenerate Gel Cream with Mulberry and Squalane.

  1. Helps to regenerate collagen (from the Squalane) within the skin by encouraging skin cells growth and retaining moisture with just one application
  2. Contains anti-oxidant (from the Mulberry Extract) that prevents skin from free-radical damages which might accelerate ageing if not prevented, hence this moisturizer shields your skin from the harm

IMG_2262

The texture?

SUPER DUPER LIGHT, the gel cream just melts into my skin with one application, leaving a healthy glow on my skin!

The smell?

It has this very comforting baby powder smell. Super nostalgic.

 

Super happy with this moisturizer and I recall that my friends love it too! Everyone wanted to use it everyday during my Bali trip and I, of course obliged.

I love sharing good things especially when it comes to things related to Beauty.

IMG_2229

I love it when my skin is moisturized and full of elasticity after application. It makes putting on sunblock and makeup much easier as I found that my skin absorbs the moisturizers very well.

It also assists in holding my makeup better.

IMG_2230

My skin is glowing right here ya?!?!

IMG_2233

Steps for application:

  1. Dot 5 dots on your face (forehead, cheeks, nose and chin)
  2. Spread them evenly
  3. Remember to apply on your neck too! (The skin around the neck is super susceptible to ageing, so we should always apply our moisturizer there!)

IMG_2223.JPG

Here is my glowing skin without makeup!!!

Having a good complexion really helps you build confidence in just being in your own skin without makeup! Moisturizing really helps!!!

 

 

Now……

 

IMG_2260

The night cream – Brightening Moisturizing Cream with Arbutin and Vitamins.

  1. Brightens (from Arbutin, this agent removes freckles and skin pigmentation)
  2. Moisturizes deeply all thanks to the vitamins derivatives, leaving a glowing and supple skin the next day.

IMG_2261

The texture?

Luxurious yet light, melts into the skin too VERY QUICKLY.

The smell?

Lemongrass!!!! Super soothing, after application, it smells like you are gonna have a massage in a spa.

 

This product has become my holy grail. Trust me when I say that it really gives you a glow the next day with super duper soft skin.

Again, my friends were using my moisturizer in Bali HAHAH!

IMG_2236

Really impressed with these Moisturizers thus far, no breakouts or whatsoever.

2) Spread.

& do not leave out your neck okay!!!

IMG_2221.JPG

 

IMG_2222.JPG

Yay to glowing skin the next morning!!!

My skin can even look like it is glowing and bright without any make up on!! Very amazing.

IMG_2226

All in all, the moisturizers REALLY do not feel heavy at all on the skin and I am really all about light formulas, therefore I really highly recommend these moisturizers.

 

Remember to incorporate moisturizing day and night into your skincare regime, because I can’t emphasise enough on HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO ‘FEED YOUR SKIN’!

Both moisturizers work hand in hand to meet your day and night needs, so here is a promo code for you all when you shop at The Moisturisers Co.™  – EEXUAN10 – for 10% OFF when you purchase both Cell Regenerate Gel Cream and Brightening Moisturizing Cream!

Review of Infallible Le Rouge Lipstick and lip liner from LOreal Paris.

Can someone please tell me what is wrong with this pic?

IMG_3058.JPG

 

Honestly, I was using this brand of lipstick in Taiwan (where this picture was taken), happily munching on some YESHI snacks and my friend went, OMG!!!! Why your lipstick will leak one?!?!?!

So my bf and I decided to take a picture like this, okay I admit kissing him HAHA, but ya, the lipstick pigment transferred and we looked like zombies on a massacre. EEEKSSS!!!

 

Soo…..

 

Super happy that Loreal Paris SG has come up with this brilliant formula that:

  • Minimizes colour transfer
  • 10hr long wearing
  • Ultra Gliding – super easy to glide these babies on
  • Moisturizing, non-drying formula

 

& yes! I guess I wouldn’t face anymore of these terrible lipsticks leaks ever again!!!

 

Introducing, the Infallible Le Rouge from LOreal Paris Singapore!

IMG_1854

 

Swatches:

IMG_1852

Here is a swatch of the colours:

 

Starting from the left to right-

747: Bold Bordeaux

712: Everlasting Plum

737: Persistent Plum

337: Refined Ruby

543: Charming Lilac

212: Rambling Rose

421: Charismatic Coral

227: Eternal Rose

519: Tender Berry

423: Perpetual Peach

 

These colours are super pigmented and the texture is ultra smooth. The claims on it being moisturizing and hydrating were proven to be right! My super cracked lips were not as bad upon application, picture below:

FullSizeRender.jpg

Shade, 212 Rambling Rose.

Now for my top 3 picks of the collection, I have picked 3 different colours.

Everyday wear:

IMG_1798

Shade: 519 Tender Berry

 

FullSizeRender.jpg-2

How it looks like on the lips – a subtle tint to my discoloured lips hence it is suitable for everyday wear! LOVE!!!!!!

 

Next!!!

My FAVOURITE of them all – the Vibrant.

IMG_1776

Shade: 212 Rambling Rose

This is a fuchsia pink kind of tone that is not too in your face, but at the same time, it gives my always-tired looking face some life to it!

FullSizeRender.jpg

As featured earlier on, this shade was my favourite the instant the team made me try on for my shoot with them.

Video up VERY soon!!!!

Now for the sexy hot look that I love to variant for my makeup style…

I call it the date night bombshell look.

IMG_1800

Shade: 737 Persistent Plum

I grew a liking to darker shades in the recent years; perhaps it could be a sign of ageing HAHA. BUT SERIOUSLY, it gives my look a different type of look and I am slowly becoming more adventurous when it comes with trying on new lipstick colours!

This shade gave me a total different persona. You know how you can’t seem to smile for a picture when you have a certain look on? Yeap this is the one.

I would describe this shade as the blood red, or maybe slightly towards the maroon – not too red but a little purplish brown hue.

 

FullSizeRender.jpg-3

 

As illustrated above, did you notice that my lips are not that nicely shaped?

This is because my lips were not lined before I applied the lipsticks.

Sooooooo………

 

LOreal sent me their Never Fail Lip Liner range to try and test out if applying lip liner helps in the application… SO here is my review on them!!!

 

My take on the liners:

  • Easy to glide on
  • The sharpener at the back of the liner was a saviour because you do not need to source for a separate sharpener to sharpen your liners, SO THIS IS AN AWESOME FEATURE!
  • Pigmented
  • Matches their Infallible Le Rouge range, so you can match with them!

IMG_1853

Check out the tips of the liners – aids in the precision so that your cupids bow could be defined easier!!!

Tested out on my lips, following the cross-in-the-middle technique – thats how makeup gurus achieve their cupids bow!!!

IMG_1802

Instructions: By drawing a cross in the middle would help the lining of your lips better because it gives your lips a cupid bow even though it was pretty non-existent for me.

If you are wondering what shade?

It is the Rose shade on my lips for this lip liner.

IMG_1803

 

After having the Infallible Le Rouge lipstick on – You can instantly tell the difference ya?!

My cupids bow became super prominent with the help of the lip liner! AMAZING right?!!? I kid you not when I saw what a difference it makes by adding one more step – line your lips with a lip liner!!!

IMG_1801

As shown:

  • Lips much fuller
  • Cupids bow very significant

Alas! My completed look with LOreal Paris Infallible Le Rouge in shade, Refined Ruby – 337 and the Never Fail Lip Liner in shade Red Wine (specifically matched). I love how full my lips looked with the full lip makeup!

 

Just a close up on my lips:

FullSizeRender.jpg-4

NICE RIGHT!!!

This series of lip liners comes in 6 shades, however the plum shade will only be in later, so I have swatched the 5 shades I have on hand for your reference!

 

IMG_1855

 

I must say, I am very impressed with this new range as lipsticks these days don’t come with such qualities.

It is either the lipstick is pigmented, but drying.
OR the lipsticks are super moisturizing but it does not have any staying power.

 

This new kid on the block is definitely something for us to lookout for!

Here is the video on the Infallible Le Rouge range!

OSIM – uStiletto Massager

OSIM uStiletto – remedy to your aching feet after a long day in heels!!!

Attended an event at the OSIM Headquarters one evening to experience the newly launched OSIM uStiletto!!!

Ladies, you girls will be so glad this massager happened!!!

FullSizeRender-2

This uStiletto helps in relieving stress on the balls of your feet, ankles and calves. I shall save you guys from all the product specifications because honestly, no one reads it thoroughly. Am I right?

We were made to wear stilettos to the event; find out why later!

FullSizeRender-6

As I belonged to group 1, (they split us into 2 groups), we were first led to the experience zone – THE MASSAGE!!!!

We were made to remove our heels from our tired feet (thank god) and let the uStiletto massager do the ’healing ’.

 

FullSizeRender-4

The experience zone!!!

IMG_1352

 

Me enjoying the massage!!!!

FullSizeRender-4-2

Do you agree that they did so well setting up this whole experience zone?

There are 5 beautifying leg massage programs.

We tried 3 of the massage programs – Pamper, Reflexology and Beauty.

Personally, I like a slight pain on my feet. Hence, Reflexology stood out for me because it gave my feet a good deep tissue massage.

After which, we were made to put on our heels and walk around.

Trust me when I say that my feet felt like it was floating and the heels did not hurt that much anymore. I was surprised and amazed with the instant therapy it does to my feet!

So ladies, next time, no more dreading all the stilettos because OSIM has came up with this amazing massager that helps us relieve the pain from wearing heels.

It is like we love and hate wearing heels because heels obviously make us look better in anything but at the same time heels are super tiring and harmful to our feet; so this massager is a savior to this issue!

IMG_1355

So happy to see this girl here at the event! ☺

IMG_1357

And bae for your company though you stayed outside most of the time ☹

 

After the amazing massage, not by masseuse but the uStiletto massagers, it is some girly time – PAINTING!!!!!!

& if you’re a boyfriend/husband reading this, do get this for your other halves!!! I swear they will need it esp when they wear a lot of heels.

As for me, being an events talent/financial consultant, I am required to wear heels sometimes and the heels I love are the super high ones. Yeappppppp. So thankful for this holy grail (now it has become my holy grail).

& Thank you OSIM for sending me a uStiletto leg massager!!! It has become an essential to my day to day life, giving my poor tired feet back it’s life again!

EVANESSENCE – The secret to radiant skin

Got my hands on these illuminating tablets recently that promises to promote radiance to my skin. Being 26 this year worries me (please don’t roll your eyes at me) because aging (skin aging in particular) is one of my main concerns and it is recommended that anti-aging regime should start as soon as the age of 25.

IMG_7856

Question is…. How?

Skin supplements!!!

Having to be constantly exposed to the harmful UV rays is definitely not helping as the UV rays causes our skin to age.

EVANESSENCE helps in a way that it restores collagen structure of our skin, and also increase the skin elasticity with the enriching ingredients of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and enzymes; which help the skin to renew energy, thus promote anti-aging.

It also reduces skin damage from free radicals, enhances skin tolerance of exposing to UV radiation, and increases the skin’s capability in self-healing and anti-inflammatory.

What is even better is that EVANESSENCE also assists to even out your skin tone and texture, by reducing skin pigmentation and dark spots and also repairs coarse pores, and lightening your skin to achieve and maintain radiant and younger skin.

 

IMG_7852

 

Simply take one EVANESSENCE tablet before you sleep every day with a glass of water or as directed by your healthcare professionals.

As for me, I just take it every day before I have my first meal.

My review on it:

Tasteless, which is super important as I hate supplements with funky tastes so this is a plus point.

 

As for the results, I am pretty positive about it as I don’t see my skin condition deteriorating and my skin is glowing everyday (maybe it is also with my skin care regime which I will share veryyy sooooon)

I cant guarantee results just yet because I have had this for just more than a week but it is recommended to have it for 3 months minimum to see full results!

IMG_7859

&& Don’t worry about the horror stories of supplements because…

EVANESSENCE has been reviewed by the Health Sciences Authority (HSA) of Singapore and sold under the Singapore Guidelines for Health Supplements[1].

So YAY! It is safe to be consumed! However, please consult a healthcare professional prior to taking EVANESSENCE if you have any existing health issues.

Shopping for food/ pet supplies for FiFi with Kohepets.com

The very sweet people from Kohepets gave me a $200 credit to shop on their fuss-free webpage for Fifi!

Here ‘s what I ‘ve got for a $200:

 

IMG_4920

Freeze dried Salmon treats, Seek a Treat toy, Whimzees Dental treat, Merrick (Salmon and Sweet Potato) and JW Gripsoft Slicker brush.

 

Chose Merrick as I have done a couple of research on dog kibbles/food, at a very reasonable price point, Merrick is one of the best IMO.

Fifi alternates between Orijen and Merrick. Origen is pretty pricey, but since Kohepets only offer Merrick at the moment, I got the salmon and sweet potato for her. Fifi is more of a fish/seafood dog than a meat one, prolly under the influence of her mum, ME.

They are having a 50% off for Merrick!!!!

Next up, Whimzees.

I’ve heard so much about unhealthy dental treats, so I was pretty convinced by the ingredients contained in Whimzees.

It is on a 25% off!!!

I checked out this Seek A Treat toy to exercise Fifi’s very lazy brain.
Was pretty surprised that she got a hang of it after 1hr of the temptation.

Hid some toasted ikan billis and some freeze dried salmon treat (also from Kohepets, BUY 2 GET 1 FREE BTW!!!) and I guess my silly dog is really food motivated. LOL.

Link to purchase:

I also got a slicker brush to groom Fifi’s super stubborn curly mane. LOL. She gets a lot of matted fur if I dun groom her often & she ABSOLUTELY hates being combed because her other combs were not fit for de-matte.

This JW Gripsoft comb was a life saviour I SWEAR. Grooming her was made easy as it didn’t hurt to de-matte her.

Kohepets got all these items delivered to me within 2 days, and do note that there will be a free delivery if you spent $60 and above!

Remember to checkout with my discount code: EEXUAN10.

I couldn’t decide on what to get for Fifi as they really had a huge array of dog supplies. Glad that I got my indecisive ass settled HAHA.

Double Suture & Twist with MeClinic (Johor Bahru)

Hello!

I am finally doing this long awaited post to address all of your enquiries on this Double Suture & Twist procedure that I did with Me Clinic (Johor Bahru) recently.

First of all, I would like to thank ALL of you for the enquiries! I was still cracking my brains on what to write about this whole procedure.

Thank you ladies!!!

I know that many of you actually asked me why I did it when I have double eyelids….. or maybe non-existent double eyelids (we call it 内双)
The truth is, my double eyelids are too thin for my liking, ESP when I smile or have eyeliner on, it is as good as having no double eyelids.

On top of that, I have super uneven eyes. Even a few makeup artists that I have worked with before had a lot of problems making them even… till one day, this makeup artist that I met during a print ad shoot introduced me to eyelid tapes.

&I have had them on ever since, perhaps for about 5 years?

neishuang1

As you can tell from this picture above, my eyes are really…. I dont know how should I describe this… It looked horrendous I kennut la sial.

neishuang3

You girls knew what I meant right??? Like my double eyelids were non-existent. Looking at my old pictures just make me wanna burn all of them. *sighpie*

 

neishuang2

Back to the topic on double eyelid stickers, I found a picture of me having them on for the very first time!!!

 

doubleyelid sticker

The makeup artist did a good job on my eyes, but not exactly my eyebrows as they were way too thin for my age. I was 21 or 22 then? I can’t remember when though.

3F8B5910-6557-4541-9EB9-84108E0FE177

I am so sorry for our kan cui photo before the procedure. I was super deprived of sleep because I WAS BLARDY WORRIED.  & ivy just came back from a flight with zero sleep. lul… You know the feeling of not knowing what to expect? Yup, so I spent the whole night reading up on the procedure, asking my bf to pinch my eyelids so I can kinda have a feel of what it is going to be like. HAHAHAH I sound retarded.

A0A45E5D-6BB9-4F9F-8FE7-5DB5C3956407

My nervous 内双 face before the surgery, SUPER HATE MY ONE BIG ONE SMALL EYES!!!!!

Anyway……..

I have compiled a list of questions with regards to the double eyelid procedure, so here you go!!!!

Why did I choose to go for this procedure and not continue having double eyelids stickers on?

Pretty simple, I wanted something long term n not having to worry whether I brought extra eyelid tapes when I am out. (just in case my eyelids get oily and the tapes get visible)

Was the procedure painful?

To be REALLY REALLY honest, the process was not painful.

However I would not say that it was not painful AT ALL. It was the local anaesthesia that stung. & when I say that it stings, means its pretty painful, but the pain lasts for about 3 secs for every jab.

Upon 10 perhaps 6? Mind you, I have a very low threshold for pain.

How long will the procedure last?

30 mins! Approx 15 mins for each eye,

What is the process of the whole procedure?

  1. A consultation with Dr David to see if my eyes were suitable for the procedure. (The DST procedure is unfortunately not for everyone. Fatty eyelids are unfortunately a no go.)

thumbnail_IMG_7650 (1)
This was my reaction when I was told that the doctor would have to flip and jab my eyes on the underside of my eyelids. IT SOUNDED SUPER INTIMIDATING OKAY.

2. Preparation for the procedure – cleansing

I was starting to freak out as they were cleansing my face for the preparation. Super thankful for the nice and comforting staff in the clinic that kept me ‘sane’ during the procedure. I teared up a little, and they kept comforting me, giving me a pillow to hug and squeeze. Trust me, when you are alone in the cold room, you’ll need that.

3. Dr David will start doing crease markings on my eyelids

Was recommended to do the medium crease for a natural look.

And a tapered crease too.

4. The scariest part – the jab.

I had 3 jabs on the top of my eyelids.

IMG_3563

As illustrated here, on the eyelids and on the underside of the eyelids.

& 3 jabs on the underside of the eyelids (flipped)

Messages Image(3886117909)

I know this sounds CRAZILY scary. I was so scared during the consultation that I was close to tears okay!!! But… I teared a little before the procedure. BECAUSE IM A COWARD OKAYYYY I ADMIT!

5. The doctor will start sewing the first eye and then the next.

I felt nothing after the jab. This is why I specifically highlighted that the scariest parts of the procedure were the jabs and not the procedure itself. I felt nothing, perhaps only the tugging and pulling of the eyelids when he was sewing it.

THAT’S ALL!!!

Felt so stupid and embarrassed for being a baby because I cried. HAHAH! I hope everyone reading this won’t judge me, as a 26 yr old I’d still cry over things like jabs HAHAH *PAISEH*

6. THE TENSION

The doctor would tug and make sure that the threads were tight and fastened. The ‘sensation’ was weird, tbh. But, no pain okay!

 

VOILA!!! I AM FINALLY DONE WITH THE PROCEDURE.

After the procedure….

My ever-so-supportive Haohao came in and I just had to smile for the camera.

thumbnail_IMG_7656 (1)

Was given an ice pack to ice my eyelids.

Was there any pain after the procedure?

For me, NO. Zero pain. Totally nothing. Just that, my eyelids felt super heavy and tight. I can’t open my eyes totally.

 

Cost?

$4.8k RM

Why DST and not cut?

DST is scarless, reversible and a no incision procedure, we wouldn’t call it a surgery as there is no cutting involved so yeppp.

Downtime is close to zero, at least for me…

The cutting surgery is permanent. So if the doctor screws up, it would mean your eyelids are as good as gone. It’ll scar, so it would not look as natural.

HUH!!! Johor Bahru, KL, Malaysia eh? Reliable not? I thought Korea or Taiwan would be better?!

Yeap this was my exact reaction when my friend told me that she did hers in Me Clinic (Berjaya Times Square). I absolutely have no clue that she did her eyelids. Furthermore, hers was beautifully done!!! Sometimes, it is really not the country that affects the outcome. I would say that it is really the skills of the doctor that did the procedure for you. I have friends that did theirs in Korea and got screwed over. So.. do the math yo’self!!!

How long will this last?

Sewing methods are usually not permanent. Say 5 – 10 years? It really depends on your eyelids and how fat it is! I have a few aunties that I know of had their eyelids sewn and theirs are still going strong.

Recovery

DAY 0

I was super fortunate that my recovery process was a BRISK.

I did a super YOLO thing by heading to work for an event the very next day.

Took this picture right after the surgery when I got home:

okay let me do a little explanation here.

My left eye (the one that looks weirdly swollen) was super swollen and I felt really ugly after the procedure.

That’s the thing about going thru a surgery, there’s always this insecurity within you that tells you ”Hey! Maybe it will not get better and you will look like this for the rest of your life.” Y’know…..

On the contrary, my right eye swelled beautifully, it is almost like the height I’ve always desired – with double eyelid tapes (like the picture below)

I iced my eyes before I slept, so thankful that Haohao was there to take care of me. Thanks love <3

Day 1

550CD63E-0E5B-49D1-81A5-BB0A34CB9D69

I woke up feeling better, the swell has gone down a little too. Very optimistic about my recovery.

Went to work still!! YOLO OKAY!!!

Hao and I took a cab together to work. Here’s an irritating photo of him showing off his LEGIT eyelids and mine’s the artificial one *roll eyes*

My lovely partner and I.  The crew commented that the swell was not as bad as I thought it was. So thank god I didn’t look abnormal.

Day 2

B690D591-025E-4E19-A0B3-9D422DF5A85D

The swell has gone down significantly. This was my face without makeup. Intended to do the makeup in the car for my shoot.

In fact my right eye looked normal.

Told you all that my recovery was a walk in the park!!!

I could do my usual stuff from day 1, like wearing lenses, go to work etc. However, do note that each individual has a different reaction to the procedure, so do not get your hopes high okay!

 

This was after a week, the scars were fading pretty fast!

BTW, I am also in the midst of editing my vlog on the recovery process! Will upload it on youtube soon!!! Stay tuned okay?!

NUDE – Brazilian IPL

I have always been doing Brazilian IPL years ago, but it was never effective for me because I haven’t been going for my sessions diligently…… & THE REASON?

IT HURTS.

& yes, the previous IPL salon that I have been going to did a terrible job.

It was super painful, (okay maybe not super painful) but every pulse the IPL machine gives, it gave me shocks.

Can you imagine how scared I was to go for my IPL sessions? I WAS DREADING EVERY.SINGLE.TIME.

I even constantly postpone them when I have booked an appointment because their IPL sessions were nasty. & I didn’t know that IPL wasn’t supposed to hurt this way, that is prolly because the machines used were outdated.

Furthermore, the VJJ area is always sensitive. Can u imagine the torture I have been through…….. :O

So glad that NUDE came and saved me from all the IPL misery. Trust me, their IPL sessions were nothing but painless. I have stopped shaving ever since my first session with them and that’s because most of the hair didn’t grow out ever since.

I could even chat with the therapist during the IPL sess’ (forgetting about the awkwardness and there was not even a single tinge of pain AT ALL).

Saw results even with one session, but with more

, I am sure I’ll be hairless totally. So….. who needs unlimited sessions with a hefty pricetag when you can be totally NUDE down there with just 6-8 sessions?

 

NUDE has never failed to make me feel comfortable and relaxed before and after every session.

Pets Lagoon

Finding a grooming place for your pets is easy, but finding a groomer that is caring and loves pets is definitely a chore.

So glad that I found Pets Lagoon because Nikki, the cute boss of Pets Lagoon is a personal friend of mine and I am confident that my beloved Fifi will be in good hands.

Here’s how sanitary the grooming place is…

I am pretty sure that not only the skills of the groomer matter, but the place of the shop must also be sanitised and clean!

Pets Lagoon takes pride in keeping their workplace clean despite having so many dogs/pets coming in and out daily.

And a photo with yours truly!
I am a super kiasu ”paw-rent” when it comes to Fifi, because I will constantly wonder if she is doing fine or how is she doing without me; or if she is worried that I am leaving her for good (Fifi was adopted)
Thank god Nikki gave me constant updates, so I was rest assured that she is doing fine!
So, here’s her cute look after grooming!
Decided to snip off her long fur and her ponytail because it was so matted up and I had no time to comb her everyday because she HATES being combed.
