LEADERS Insolution 2

Advertorial

This is my second blog post about LEADERS Insolution's beauty products! The first one is HERE and many of you tried and loved their masks!

What's LEADERS?

The LEADERS Cosmetics Group have owned and operated over 18 professional skin clinics across South Korea since 2001, and it's dermatologist teams researched and developed its professional skin care ranges which are used by many Korean celebrities. More than 10 million masks sold every year in Korea!! That's a crazy amount!!

Today's star products I'm introducing will be loved by many of you because they target very specific problems!!

Problem ONE:

DARK EYE CIRCLES AND EYE WRINKLES!!

Now I must say I am one of the luckiest girls in the world because I don't have dark eye rings nor very severe eyebags, but panda eyes are one of the most heard about complains I get from my friends. They are obstinately difficult to reduce and so much work is needed to conceal them!!

Of course, there is the issue of wrinkles around the eyes too which makes you look tired and haggard. WHY MUST WE GIRLS FACE SO MANY PROBLEMS??

If you are looking for that one heroic eye mask that may solve your eye beauty problems, I would like to suggest the very much acclaimed....

HYDROGEL EYE Therapy Patch

So many accolades, where to start?

Winner of the Cleo Beauty Hall of Fame 2012,  owns 2 international patents on its temperature sensitive state-changing soluble hydrogel system, selected as one of the world-100-superb patent products and won 3 most innovative awards!

Not bad, you!

The mask is a 6-in-1 eye therapy!!

- Elasticity care
- Nourishing
- Wrinkle refinement
- Brightening
- Cooling and Soothing
- Moisturizing

Talk about solving all your eye problem areas in just 20 minutes flat!!

Once you open the packet you will see two crescent shaped masks like this

The hydrogel eye therapy patch is actually a transparent jelly, very soft and moist!!

We are always abusing our eyes be it through lack of sleep or staring at electronic screens all day long... Give our eyes (or rather the skin under them) a treat and you will see the grateful results!

As you can see the hydrogel patches are very adhesive and barely visible!! Even though I put the patches on with makeup (for demostration purposes) I can immediately feel relief from the cooling effect... The water soluble hydrogel is already working its magic as it is instantly absorbed into the deep skin layer by skin temperature of 36.5C!

After 20 minutes you can really feel a difference...

Skin is moisturized and QQ... Bouncy and firm!!! And of course your eyes don't look and feel so tired anymore!!

I love it!! Would totally recommend people who do all nighters or have very dry skin around their eyes.

Happy eyes from all the active ingredients and their effects!!

Snail Mucus (new star beauty ingredient!) - Moisturising
Marine Collagen - Enhance skin elasticity
Berry Complex - Antioxidants
Broccoli Extract - Brightening
Green Tea Extracts - Skin Calmness

Problem TWO:

BLACKHEADS!!!

Do you have huge pores that are full of black and whiteheads? They are so gross!! If blackheads or whiteheads are not cleared, they will soon fester and clog up pores, turning into pimples!!

What is your solution?

This?

Not only is it super painful it is harmful to your delicate skin!!

Why not try the Pore Clinic Care?

Two steps to clean pores!

Step 1:

Take a Black Head Clinic sheet!

I know that there are a lot of pore strip brands out there so how this is different?

Traditionally charcoal is used but for the Black Head Clinic Sheet it is Morocco Lava clay!!

Not only does the Morocco Lava Clay clean pores with FOUR times stronger waste adherence than charcoal, it also removes dead skin, effectively cleaning your pores in just 10 minutes. :D

Very simple... Just wet your skin, peel out a sheet, and paste!

Next, be PATIENT!!!

All of us LOVE the guilty pleasure of looking that our blackheads being stuck on the strip but it is essential to wait for the strip to dry before ripping!!

And the strip doesn't just contain Morocco Lava Clay... There is also vegetable ingredients such as tea tree oil, witch hazel, Aloe vera extract etc to calm your skin.

Step 2:

Apply the Pore Tightening Serum!

This serum contains anti-acne complex ingredients and vegetable complex with anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory effects to control excessive sebum.

Not only does the Pore Tightening Serum give a cooling effect to your newly evacuated pores, the extract of gallnut also keeps pores tight and clean.

We all want super poreless fine-looking skin!!

Hope I helped today if you have tired eyes with eye circles or a 'strawberry nose'!

Used both products and I love them, hope you do too :D

They are available exclusively at Watsons only at these outlets so take note!!

Quirky Kwerkee

One new post below this advert! :)

Advertorial

Look what came in the mail!!

I'm gonna open my first box of KWERKEE!!

You are probably wondering what Kwerkee is... Well, everyone knows Reebonz right? I did two adverts for them before, HERE and HERE... Reebonz sells designer bags at very competitive prices and I know loads of girls LOVE them!!

And now there is Kwerkee by Reebonz! If designer bags are not your cup of tea, how about out-of-this-world, unique, and yes, quirky lifestyle items?

Just like Reebonz, Kwerkee is not like any usual online store.

They hold extraordinarily discounted sales of up to 70% off for 2 or 3 days and you have to sign up with their website to get notified so you can participate!

Ok let's open my Kwerkee box because I cannot wait to see what is inside!!

Even Igloo is having fits of excitement!! The items are so cute!!! Let's take them out one by one...

♥ Hello Kitty mimobot ♥

4gb thumbdrive!!

I love how hello kitty is dressed in nerdwear... Perfect for students to bring to school! :D

All of you know I love cutesy stuff but there is a difference between cute and quirky I think, and I am beginning to see quirky's appeal!! The long neck of the kitty is so funny!!

And quirky items often have to be very carefully designed. It isn't easy to make a long necked hello kitty look expensive and authentic!

Pretty and functional!! :D

If hello kitty isn't your cup of tea the mimobot flash drives also come in many other designs... ISN'T C-3PO CUTE?? Mike would like it so much!!

♥ Boiley ♥

 A microwave egg boiler?? What is this? Everyone knows eggs cannot be cooked in microwaves as they will explode!!

This is how I will look like if my face is an egg

BOILEY MAKES IT HAPPEN!! 

You can now cook eggs in the microwave!!

Amazing or what? Boiley comes with a needle. You have to poke the needle into the egg to let extra pressure escape, and put the egg into Boiley, then pop egg and Boiley into the microwave!!

No need for boiling anymore, no need to wash pots!! Experiment with the timings and you can get the PERFECT soft boiled or hard boiled egg EACH AND EVERYTIME, easy peasy!



And now for the only mysterious item left in the box.....

It is a NOOKA X HELLO KITTY WATCH!! 

So cute even Igloo is trying to mark his scent on the box to make it his. Sorry, not gonna give it to you!

Perhaps you have seen Nooka's watches around with their extremely interesting time-telling interface. I imagine that you can have plenty of interesting conversations with people when they ask you for the time and you go like (show watch) "What time do you think it is?"

The answer is 3.53pm... Did you guess it right?

Kooka collaborated with Sanrio to come up with a limited edition piece to launch on Hello Kitty's birthday on 1st Nov 2011.

I love how the design is so simple and pretty with such a pure white and that striking red accent!! If you love hello kitty but you don't want to appear too childish or girly, this watch is just perfect. :D

It can easily match anything you wear too!

I'm loving it on me! :D

Thank you Kwerkee for bringing so much quirky into my life!! 

And yes Kwerkee's items come in biodegradable boxes... 

Not only that, shipping is FREE for Singapore, Malaysia, Australia, New Zealand and Hongkong!!

Here are some more of Kwerkee's merchandise you might be able to get! Click to enlarge!

Although the items chosen by me are sorta girly, there are many Kwerkee items that are unisex or for boys too.

Enticed to join yet? Why not, membership is FREE!!!

Simply go to Kwerkee and sign up!!

AND AND AND THIS!!

Just refer your quirky friends to join and 

you can get so many goodies!

Xiaxue the Cover Girl

Some of you may have already seen the following pictures because I've been asked to be on the cover of Lifestyle magazine for the National day issue!!

And Lifestyle is actually the largest circulating magazine in Singapore!! *claws face*

Don't know what I did to get so lucky. Actually when I was asked, I didn't even believe it was true until I went for the shoot and like a billion people fussed over me.

Scratch that. Until the magazine ACTUALLY GOT PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED I didn't believe it was true. I kept thinking someone will object to so controversial a figure on the cover... But there you go!! It's become fact now!

ME!!!

OK before I post scanned versions of the rest of interview + photoshoot pictures, I'd like to blog a bit more! Tolerate this please!! Or skip it if you are a rebel, I know I have no power over what you want to read.

I WANT TO THANK PEOPLE!!!

Tommy Wee, Handsome editor extraordinaire: Thank you for the chance, the choice, and the defense, which you guys can read in a bit in his Editor's Note. Understand that your unusual choice in cover figure must have turned a few heads, but hey, if you wanted attention for the magazine, you got it. Controversy is the least I can do for you, LOL. You guys can follow him on twitter here, and girls, don't get too mesmerized.

A picture with the editor

Germaine Lim, Ultra inquisitive wordsmith: Thank you for the in-depth interview, the deep, probing questions, for doing so much research for the article and lastly making it so interesting beyond the typical QnA format. Even I enjoyed reading this because there was so much you wrote that I didn't even know about!! And for your patience in my slow responses to emails!

Gillian, Good friend, Mentor, Sorta Boss: Thanking you a million times won't be enough and I bless the day the doctor saved your life when your burst appendix tried to take it away. Won't be where I am today without you, believing in me 100%, telling me where I can do better (and sometimes video recording it), giving me guidance and always wishing the best for me. For all that you gave selflessly, you add on to my debt by always saying the sweetest things about me to others, including in this article. And I love what you wrote about me here. Getting too mushy... Just... Thanks.

Vernetta, Yi Ying, Frazer - some of my best sponsors: Thank you for all the kind words. I already had the best products and services from you guys and never expected praise for me on an interview afterwards!! Vern - never thanked you enough for the the dream wedding you made possible, even when you broke your foot! Frazer for the beautiful Electrolux products I cannot wait to use at my new home, especially the oven! And Yi Ying for the indulgence... many ZA foundations bestowed upon me that I haven't finished using them till now! It was, and is, a pleasure working with you guys.

The crazy team of photography, hair, makeup and stylists working for my Lifestyle shoot... Thank you for the patience, the glamour, and making my few hours super fun!! And the pictures turned out SO NICE!!! I love them very much!!

With my hairstylist and makeup artist Sean and Shaun!!

Tommy picking the final shots... 

You cannot find a more decisive editor! 

Done in like 2 minutes.

Ok here are the scanned pages... I don't have a scanner so my mom scanned these for me. The resolution turned out pretty bad. :( But it will have to do.

Credits to Lifestyle Magazine:

Yes, thank you for the faith, impartiality and candour, everybody. 

You too Tommy

Bit of a mistake there...
100,000 facebook likes. 

Don't like this minus one zero leh!!

Also 92k instagram followers by now!

Love the styling...

After this shoot I actually got inspired to wear more bright colours instead of always pastels!!

(continued 3 pictures down)

This is actually my favourite picture, the one in front of the mirror. It's so chic!!

And I LOVE the timeline of hair colour changes Germaine did!! :D

Plus tips on how to snap a good profile picture

This is obviously my favourite part of the interview... People praising me!!

:')

And my least favourite because it contains my least favourite people's faces.

Thank god Sophie and Qiu are there to balance it out. Actually, I like Peter Coffin too. He gave me international fame!

Some of you asked me where to buy Lifestyle magazine... Short answer... You can't, it is purely based on subscription.

Gillian told me that some readers wrote in to Clicknetwork asking for a copy. A girl even said she looked at newstands all over and didn't manage to find it. So Gillian asked Lifestyle for some copies, and Lifestyle obliged by giving her ten. G replied the reader, who promptly went down to Click's office to collect. She even offered to pay for the magazine!! I don't know who you are, random reader, but thank you for liking me and I like you too!!

Now isn't this story just full of niceness and nice people? So anyway if you desperately want to keep a copy, you can try emailing clicknetwork at gtl@clicknetwork.tv to see if there are still any left. Self collect only!!

If you wish to subscribe to future editions of Lifestyle, here is the form Tommy kindly reproduced for me. Print it out and mail it to them!! There is also a phone number and email address there for more enquiries.

I'm in one of those moods where I feel like I LOVE EVERYONE!!!

CONFETTI AND BLESSINGS FOR ALL!!
