Advertorial

I've got good news for girls who want to make their skin as soft and as luscious as can be!


Remember my previous advertorial for Love More?

Now they have sent me MORE awesome skincare products to try! Skincare junkies rejoice!

The Love More Aqua Moisturising Series:

These are all featured and recommended on popular Taiwanese beauty show 女人我最大!

As the name suggests, the uniqueness of the Love More Aqua Moisturizing Series is moisture, moisture, moisture!

The result? Flawless transparent skin + 100% moisturized skin + sebum balance.

Keeping skin moisturized is super important especially when a lot of us spend most of our day in the aircon!! When skin is dried out, you not only get wrinkles and age faster, your skin also turns oily which can lead to acne.




Step 1: Love More 24hr moisturizing Aqua Pump

Also known as the toner! (In picture, the tallest bottle)

Most toners in the market don't bother much with moisture level but the Aqua Pump does! The texture is watery and not drying like most other toners and with the extra moisturising effect, your subsequent skincare products can maximize their benefits.

And I love it because it smells so awesome, like fresh cold cucumber + lilies! :D

Plus the design comes in a pump, which is super convenient.



Step 2: Love More 24hr Moisturizing Aqua Serum

Here's the texture of the serum!!

The Aqua Serum comes with patented AQUAFILL and professional whitening compound with 3 times more concentration than the traditional essence. Even using a small amount can achieve long term retaining of moisture in the skin, and keep the innermost layer of the skin quenched with moisture!


Step 3: Love More Aqua Masks

Blue: Love More Aqua Cucumber Extract and Ceramide Moisturising Mask

Pink: Love More Aqua Damascus Rose and Arbutin Whitening Mask

I love both these masks!!!!!

Both the masks contain awesome ingredients.

The blue Moisturising Mask has cucumber extract, ceramide and oligomer, helping to do advanced moisturizing for your skin.

The pink Whitening Mask, which I LOVE because it smells like my favourite roses, contain Rose damascena flower, Alpha arbutin, camomilla recutita and Malachite Extract. I know most of those things sound foreign but they are all good!!

Helps to whiten skin, making it noticeably smoother and softer!

I don't know if you noticed from the picture but the special thing about these masks is how tightly they are sticking to my skin! Usually the material for masks is a little thicker and I feel they leave a distance between my skin and the mask but for the Aqua masks they are designed to fit perfectly with a special natural silk cotton.

It fits the skin tightly without leaving any space which means it is able to moisturize skin more effectively. :D When peeling out the mask I even accidentally tore it. It's super delicate!

After using the masks I really felt my skin become instantly baby soft, fairer, and brighter!

(Yes I'm putting the mask with makeup on. It's for DEMOSTRATIVE purposes ok!)

Step 4: Love More 24hr Moisturizing Aqua Brulee

Love this moisturiser!

Water based which means it isn't sticky and oily after application. Smells fantastic so you can climb into bed with your partner and know you smell awesome.

The Aqua Brulee is ultra moisturizing, providing moisture to all layers of the skin. If sleeping with the air con has dulled your skin, it's time to give this a try!

Besides the Aqua series they also gave me some other products and I love this:

Sexy Look Strawberry Black Head Pore Set!

If you recalled in my previous advert I had the kiwi version of this and now they came up with STRAWBERRY!!

Love, love, love this because not only do you get rid of blackheads, it is also super fun to peel off the mask... and the smell is just so... DELICIOUS!!!!!!!! ♥

The whole time the mask is on your face so you just keep smelling the strawberries. How awesome!! Mike kissed me on the nose after I did the mask and I asked "What do I smell like?" He said, "Strawberries!! WHY?? Why do you smell like strawberries?"

LOL


And are you ready for cuteness??

A freaking HELLO KITTY MASK!!

Hot pink: Sexy Look Moisturising and Whitening Rose Mask

Baby pink: Sexy Look Hyaluronic Acid Whitening and Moisturising Mask

So cute right?? Perfect for traveling or sleepovers with girlfriends!

AND MORE!!!!!

CAN YOU SAY KAWAII??

And wait, these 3 Hello Kitty masks are special! They are 3D masks which means they have hooks for your ears! The end result is a mask super tight around your face and under your neck, giving a lifting effect.

White: Sexy Look Brightening and Firming White Rose Double Lifting Mask

SMELLS LIKE ROSES!!!

Purple: Sexy Look Moisturising Sensitive Amethyst Double Lifting Mask

SMELLS LIKE RED WINE AND GRAPE!!

Pink: Sexy Look Ultra Moisturizing Pink Sakura Double Lifting Mask

SMELLS LIKE SAKURA AND STRAWBERRIES!! *faints*

Youtube launch, Makiyo, Jessica Mitchibata, AND I ACCEPT!

Woohoohoo!!!


THE NUFFNANG ASIA PACIFIC BLOG AWARDS is back!!!!!!!!!

I'm glad because I've been really unmotivated to blog lately... I guess with this I'd just have to buck up if I want votes!



Back in 2009 I won Best Original Blog Design, Most Influential Blog and best of all, Region's Best Blog!

What's the big deal with some internet award? Well, it's the biggest deal there is for bloggers because the competition is extra stiff with bloggers from all over Asia Pacific (Philippines, Australia, Malaysia, Singapore) competing! And this year, I think there might be even more countries involved!

Plus we had a super glamourous event with red carpet and all at the Pan Pacific Hotel. It was just an awesome get together for everyone in the industry. :D


So yes this year I am a finalist for two categories!!!!!


Most Influential Blog and Best Lifestyle Blog! :D 


I am supposed to write an acceptance post so here it is: I ACCEPT!!


You can vote by clicking HERE!

My first bribe?

Despite my injured arm (it's still fucking painful when I do photoshop. Mad upset) I braved through the pain to edit pictures!!

So here they are:

Gillian and I at the launch of Youtube Singapore!

Yes now Singaporeans can become Youtube partners. Awesome!

Michelle's Disney Princesses video on the wall! *shy*

After some Google peeps finished their speech at the podium Gillian and I very buay paisehly went on stage to pretend like we were giving a speech. LOOK LIKE RIGHT?




I'm gonna post 3 obligatory food pictures now coz my Lumix GF3 took SUCH GOOD FOOD PICS!!

Foie gras. DOES THIS LOOK LIKE A FOOD BLOG PIC OR WHAT?

The muthafucking best burger in the world... Inside the patty is foie gras and the most tender short ribs I've ever had. It's just OOMPH. From DB Bistro at Marina Bay Sands!

The service there is beyond impeccable.

Shuyin and I sharing a meal there... DID YOU SEE MY POOR BANDAGED ARM!?

Jessica Mitchibata (she's a famous Japanese model!) and me!

Taken during the Samantha Thavasa event. She's an ambassador for ST. She seemed nice but I didn't get to speak to her much. Very pretty!

I bought that romper at Bugis for $66... Stupid Qiuqiu went to taobao to look for it and found it for $11 including shipping. She somemore ask me gleefully... "I found it, you want to know how much?" I said no but later I resigned to fate and she told me $11 and I was like FFFFUUUUUUUU

One more picture I took that day. Disgustingly enough, my camera died on me after this. -_-

Waiting at Quincy Hotel for Makiyo to arrive. She's here in Singapore coz she is the ambassador for Sophie Monk beauty products. You can find them in Guardian. :D Wow I realised the two celebrities in this post are both Japanese! Or half anyway.

Invited Shuyin, Yutaki, Eric and Sophie to join me that day... Qiu and Kaykay were supposed to come but they couldn't make it. :(

Dunno why Eric is not in the pictures...

Ok here he is. LOL

My new camera takes such awesome portraits!

THERE SHE IS!!

Everyone chatting with her about beauty stuff... Except Sophie coz she half angmoh so her Chinese is laopok and she damn paiseh to speak Chinese to Makiyo lol

Me + the star!! 

She's so pretty and cute! Her nose is like super perfect please and I don't know how she dyed her hair to be such an awesome ashy tone. Plus the colour is really even and it's really healthy wtf.

She was dressed in comfy flats and a sweater to meet us but after meeting bloggers she was supposed to meet newspaper reporters. I saw her take off the sweater (underneath is some sequinny dress) and change into chio shoes WHY LIKE THAT LOL I ALSO WANT TO SEE HER SLUTTY!!



BFF and Makiyo chatting like old friends wtf... Shuyin's super into Taiwanese stuff so she was probably discussing something nobody else there knew about Makiyo.

BTW this Shuyin really super wu xim she went to my place early and bought Royce chocolates + a bangle to bling for Makiyo as a present... I contributed by doing the blinging. Unfortunately didn't take a picture of it. It's just the word "Makiyo" in blue diamantes with a red shadow. Looks a bit Wonder Woman-ish.

Yutaki + Makiyo

Makiyo was so sweet she actually signed an album for everyone! :)

Ok that's it for blogging tonight... Man I really cannot take it anymore, arm/shoulder/neck painful like fuck. :(

Wooooo congratulate me!! I mean besides being a finalist today Mike and I are going for our second appointment with HDB... WE ARE GETTING OUR KEYS TO OUR HOUSE!! :D

New blogskin!!

Hello hello!!

The last time my blogskin was changed was on May 26, 2009!!

Normally I don't care for special dates but my blogskin was ready about 1 day ago and since today is 11.11.11 I thought it'd be awesome to launch it at 11.11pm too.

So many ones is very auspicious right? Hopefully I can remain number 1 forever LOL.

Anyway so yes, the new blogskin! How do you like it?

I wanted something more floral and jappy rather than the princessy pink look that was my old blogskin... It's getting a bit too juvenile for my age!

GOODBYE!!! I'd miss you!!

I guess the biggest change is the "latest video" part I added to the top!

There, Lionel from Ripplewerkz, the awesome human being that did my coding, embedded my playlist and did some coding wizardry to make the subscribe button look not as ugly as it normally looks. I'm sure most of you who can't be arsed about html won't know what I'm talking about so I'd skip this. So yes anyway you can view all my videos from there!

After all blogs are becoming more social so I need to keep with the times and tweet/tumblr/youtube etc.

The graphics I approached Nu (or Priscilla as I call her) from http://unnu.us to help me. I told her I wanted something Lis Liza inspired and she delivered! She is really good with all the girly graphics. :D

I got a bit of a chip on my shoulder because last time during the Nuffnang Awards people said I didn't deserve to win the Best Original Blog Design since I didn't design my blogskin myself.

This time round I'd like to stress that I actually did about half of the graphics myself too and had a lot of input in the coding ok!!

I mean look at this!

Haha that's how the header originally looked!! *unglam*

I thought about doing this ribbon look myself and stuck it on blu-tack then photoshopped it. I love how pretty it looks now! :D

The floral background I actually took from the Liz Lisa website and modified it so that it tiles.

As for the blog banner, special thanks to my BFF Shuyin, Momo and Qiu for making it happen!! And Moomoo Pets for the adorablllllllllle bunnies. :D

Shuyin and Momo accompanied me on the shoot and Qiu sourced the flowers and accompanied me to buy them!!

Clara from Moomoo is super nice and I actually made a trip down to see her bunnies before the shoot... One of her netherland dwarves had about 9 baby bunnies are they are all so stinking cute I almost died!!

And they are all kept in very good/clean conditions with a real garden to make burrows in!!

Since her home is a nice private house with a swing I thought I'd just have the shoot over there... That way the bunnies won't have to leave their home just for the shoot!

It was a rainy day. Thank god the rain stopped pretty fast.

Here's the swing!

And here's BFF transforming it with all the fake flowers than I bought. She really has a knack for this sort of thing and she is a perfectionist so I just let her get on with it. LOL

p/s: I'm not sharing where I bought the flowers.

Baby bunnies put in a tank for the duration of the shoot!!

Here's a chio picture of Shuyin. I also treated her to Mcdees after the shoot but basically this picture and Mcdees is all the rewards she got from waking up at 8am to be the photographer and stylist. LOL

Here I am with one of the bunnies!! :D

I took a lot of pictures with them but most of them looked like the bunnies were the center of attention so they didn't work for banner pics. :(

This is my favourite bunny of them all! White with grey ears... I wonder who he/she belongs to now!

The lop is Clara's personal pet Fluffy! He is so tame and is allowed to run all around the house!



Another pic I considered using for the banners. Btw just like the previous skin there are 5 banners rotating. You can refresh to see them all.

Awwww they are snoozing!

Dies from cute overload

Shuyin setting up another part of the garden...

She hung all the flowers up like a curtain!

Changed clothes + hair...

One of Clara's friend brought a chinchilla to the shoot!! :D It's so adorable but it keeps trying to jump away!

I mean look at this award-winning picture! LOL

Bunnies are better for shoots LOL. And none peed on me! (thank god)

"You looking at me?"

And that's it for the pictures from the shoot!

Me + Bff photographer extraordinaire

♥♥♥

Thank you Jasmine (grey, chinchilla owner), Clara (pink) and Yangchun (co-owner of Moomoo)

p/s: All the baby bunnies in the photos are sold by now but you can still contact them if you want to buy a little fluffy pet!

p/p/s: You can now tweet/facebook like blog entries too! :D Leave a comment to tell me what you think!
