Driving down to orchard on a Saturday is crazy!
I arrived late for the setup and rush like mad to do up everything.
The weather wasn’t on our side, nevertheless, we had still a good crowd. =)
Checking out the Ettusais products.
See the polkadot luggage bag? It was for free if you purchased over $100!
Saw a few girls went home with it!
The accessories stall.
Shoes!! They had a great deal for the event and their designs are really lovely.
free manicure services! I did mine too – with glitter and crystals.
But due to the nature of my work, all crystals fell off within 2 days. =(
Frenchfleurs’ Stall! By the way, new arrivals at the website! 
www.frenchfleurs.com
2 of them came down to help me out at the stall! Thank you girls. =)
Trying out the hairbands…
Trying out the military jacket. It was the hot pick for the event.
It’s out of stock now, but there’s backorders!
I reckon we all resembled airline stewardess with all 3 of us wearing the same jacket.
with Sher, Christine, Corde and Regine.

This year’s Christmas decorations have definitely caught my eyes!
Snowman Merry-Go-Round~
Hurhur, how I wish those rocher were real! Haha.. just pluck and pop into my mouth.
H-U-G-E! Every girl’s dream?
We settled down at Donghai for Dim Sum. Everything was good.
Could be great if they can cut down on the salt.
After lunch was coffee at Gloria Jeans.
We took 10 over attempts to capture everyone in the frame. =)
Meijin had company’s Dinner & Dance to attend so we ended the day early.
Me and Amy headed to her place and helped her doll up!

I have been slightly neglecting this space. But it’s should get back normal soon.
I’m finally done with exams. What’s taxing wasn’t the mugging part. It’s more of struggling to fluff my way thru the paper with the last minute crashing. My most ill-prepared semester. I’m really praying hard not to fail any module!
Alright, enough of school.
I’ve got some freebies to give away!!!! 
Was out in town last Saturday and there was a Whisper roadshow. Educating on why we girls should be happy about the monthly misery. Ok, it shouldn’t be misery.
Anyway, with every lady writing a happy note, whisper will donate a pack of pad to the needy women in Cambodia, Laos, etc.
I wrote something too and was given a goodie bag!
Pads, Razor, Pringles, Conditioner, etc.
Now, I don’t have any use of the razor – since I epilate.
And I don’t use pad – since I’m a tampon lover.
So, I’m gonna give them away!!
PRODUCT #1: Gillette Venus 3-Blade Razor + Refills
This is pretty good to use. I was using the exact same thing previously.
Gave mine to my mom after switching over to epilator.
PRODUCT #2: Whisper Ultra 4pcs (Regular) x 2 packs
No reviews on this, but i guess it should work well for the day.
Simply leave a comment with your name + the item you want.
Each person can only comment for 1 item alright! and only open to Singapore residence unless you don’t mind paying for the overseas postage.
Closing date: 11 December 09, 11.59pm.
I will randomly pick a winner for each item! Do comment ok!
———————————————————————
12 Dec update:
Winner of Gillette Razor – Yuqing
Winner of Whisper – (no one commented for it)

This is me after 2 lychee martinis, 7 tequila shots and not partying for months.
The drink that got me high: Tequila shots + Mexican mixture
The Mexican mixture was horrendous. Tomato juice + Lime juice + Tabasco.
YES, T-A-B-A-S-C-O. Couldn’t stand the taste! It was salty in the mouth and spicy at the throat.
Switched to lemon slices instead.
With hottie Inna!
Partying away at Stereo Lounge.
Thankfully for the party, I gotta try out Ettusais’ new limited edition makeup for this festive season!
I love my makeup! and his printed-on tuxedo tshirt. So cool yeah!
Christmas loots from Ettusais!
Platinum Star Gloss + Platinum Star Powder
The Platinum Star Gloss for the eyes – Available in PK, SV and GD.
I chose the PK and SV colors.
You must be wondering – Gloss for the eyes? I was shocked about it at first too.
But when I gave it a try, it surprised me! It has a really smooth texture and it’s so easy to spread on the eyelids. It contains pearl particles that gives out a brilliant shimmer and creates multi-dimensional look.
The blue looks so great!
I applied the Purple/Pink for the night-out. Pink on the whole lid, using fingers to spread it – so smooth and easy! Followed on, using the applicator, I lined the Purple along the end of my lashes.
The texture is really different from the other eye shadows. It doesn’t dry out on the lids but yet it was really lasting and didn’t fade off. I would strongly recommend for you to test out the effect and get yourself familiarize with the gloss before applying it out.
I strongly recommend Star Gloss in PK! Absolutely lovely – suit asian’s yellow-based skin best! It has made into my Ettusais Favourite List!
The other product by Ettusais – Platinum Star Powder
It’s a highlighting powder in soft pink, adds the radiant glow to your face with the ultra-fine pearl pigments!
The fluffy puff applicator is so cute! Dust the powder on your nose bridge and check bones to define your looks. It contains AC control oil that prevents blemishes, Jojobar oil that conditions the skin plus it has sebum absorbing powder. Total awesome-ness!
You can dust it on your shoulder blades too – for the extra sexy glow!
Heart-ing Ettusias!
Introducing Ettusais Diary 2010:
You gotta get it! It has sticky tabs for you to tag the important pages. And for each month, it is designed with a theme of its own. Really pretty and nice!
Ok, how to get it? It’s a promotional gift for Ettusais members!
Receive it with purchase of $48 during the 1st week of December.
Limited in quantities, so act fast!
The Platinum Star Eye Gloss comes in 3 palettes (SV, GD, PK), retails at $36 each.
The Platinum Star Powder retails at $38.

Being an Ettusais ambassador, I’m constantly faced with the same old question – is Ettusais is really effective in treating acne?
I think the results are subjective to each individual.
First of all, you need to know the cause of your acne! For me, my skin is dry – lacks of moisture, which results into excess sebum production. Plus, I don’t drink much water and irregular sleeping hours. My skin needs a moisture boost to balance the moisture and oil levels.
Therefore, I go for the Moisture Up Formula for Aqua Shooter and Dry Block for my Whitening UV base and Zero Pore Pact.
After using the full range of products for a month, my skin did improved tremendously and I was totally free from blemishes.
Products include Cleansing Bar, Version Up, Aqua Shooter, Whitening UV, Zero Pore Pact
This was me in April/May with no makeup – No bumps or acne, just some acne scars from the past.
Follow on, I was travelling around. The new environments, time differences, change in lifestyle (external aggressors) gave me occasional bumps.
After trying out almost all the products from Ettusais, my 2 favourite ones has got to be the Skin Version Up Extra and Eye Zone Tinted Color Essence.
The Skin Version Up Extra replaces the toner. It preps the skin, allowing it to absorb the the full goodness of the moisturizer. I have not been using toner for close to a year and I find it perfectly fine.
The Eye Zone Tinted Color Essence helps to moisturize the eye area and also neutralize the dark eye rings. It doesn’t have a strong coverage but it’s enough for my daily coverage!
Since our skin reacts differently to different products. What I would recommend is to get some samples and test out the products. At Ettusais counters, they provide samples for almost every product, other than the colors in the makeup range.
These are samples of the basic skincare range: Gentle Make Off, Gentle Wash Cleansing Bar, Version Up and Aqua Shooter. It is enough to last 2-4 uses, depending on the sample.
Alternatively, you can purchase the trial. Especially if your skin tends to have reaction while switching between products. This would be great for you to test out over 5-7 days.
You can also get sample of the Zero Pore Pact. If you’re unsure of whether to get the Dry or Oil Block, you can try both out before getting the full size. Goes to the same for the Whitening UV Base.
Occasionally, Ettusais introduces promotion packs – Currently, you can purchase the refill Zero Pore Pack and receive the travel size Gentle Make Off and Whitening UV. Great chance to try out the products too!
Most importantly, don’t feel shy about asking for samples. The Ettusais beauty consultants are very friendly! Let them know your concerns. You can also arrange for an appointment to test out the products at the counters.

this time round, the curls are real and they are staying with me!
i went down Kenaris for my hair makeover. They opened up another branch at CentrePoint. I sat in for 6 hours!
Haircut -> Perm -> Color Touchup -> Treatment
looks really blown up ya! haha.. this was taken right after the styling. I bet it wont look like that when i do it on my own.
finally, after years of indecisiveness.. I have gotten it a perm. though i think i should have done the curls all the way, (seems weird for the curls to start at my ears) but i shall try to manage it for now.
short hair next round?

Remember the Ettusais Perfect Multi Mascara Giveaway Contest?
The winner, Wen Jing has tried on the mascara and gave a review on it!
“I’m sort of well known for my super straight and stubborn lashes. They are hard to curl and always droop after a few hours. But both my sis and I gave a “wow” after I applied the Perfect Multi Mascara. It really helps to hold the lashes and make them look longer. No clumps at all! And it did not smudge despite a long day out and was very waterproof (tested during rainy day!). Perhaps due to the lightweight nature of the fibers, it held the lashes really well. But it made my lashes look unnaturally thick, perhaps because I only applied one coat. Overall experience – great! (: “
I’m glad she liked it! As for me, after getting tips on how to doll up my eyes at the Ettusais counter, I have also tried on the mascara myself!
Using the coil side, I coated the base of my lashes in a zig-zag movement and upwards. Next I flipped to the comb side and combed through my lashes. I was amazed by the “comb” effect, the ultra fine really combed through every single lash. Just like the Perfect Separate Mascara, they both really gave my lashes a good comb, making every single lash stands out.
I repeated the procedure for 3 times to achieve a full lash look. Loved the skew-cut comb tip! It made it easier to apply on the inner and outer upper lashes plus the lower lashes. I always have difficulties coating my lower lashes with a normal applicator.
My eyes seldom look so wide open! Ha…
Both Perfect Multi Mascara and Separate Perfect Mascara are retailing at $39.00, available at all Ettusais Counters. Go grab yours today!

White Space, Projector, Posters, Mint-Colored Ribbons.
What are these all about?
It’s the launch for Ettusais’ 3 new products @ Raw Kitchen Bar.
Attended the party before I left for Shanghai.
The all-new Ettusais White Shooter Dual Effect and White Serum Dual Effect! Fresh in from Japan!
There’s also another new product which will only be revealed in November!
Here’s Sheradine giving us the insights of the new Dual Effect products!
With all the ‘students’ listening attentively. Haha…
Me with Fidelis. I looked tired! Rushed down from school. We were told to dress in green or white.
Christine and me with our Ettusais ribbon clips! Haha..
The 2 Dual Effect products:
As its name says it all, the new Ettusais White Shooter Dual Effect has the combined properties of Moisturizing and Whitening! How awesome is that! Not only does it keep our skin hydrated and stops the spread of acne bateria, it also helps to lighten scars, prevent pigmentaton and stops acne from getting worse. With the star ingredient – AC control oil, it forms a thin veil over the skin to lock in the moisture.
After washing your face with Ettusais Medicated Acne Gentle Wash, prep with your skin with Ettusais Skin Verison Up. Pump 2 pumps of White Shooter on your cotton pad and apply in a circular motion onto your face.
For Ettusais White Serum Dual Effect, it has all the goodness of the White Shooter in a concentrated form, which is extra effective as well. It targets areas that are blemish-prone and for serious blemish spots and scars. Also, it has a hyper sealing effect that keeps the intense ingredients within so it can work effectively quickly!
Squeeze out a little on dab on affected areas after using applying White Shooter.
You know what!? It’s exactly what I need! Look at what Shanghai did to me:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 bumps.
Not only did the mosquitoes bite my face, I’m also having bad breakout. 
See those huge acne bumps on my forehead and the scars on my cheeks? With all the road works, construction and pollution going on in Shanghai, the air quality over there is not so great. My skin is covered with so much dust everyday. And yes, my fault for not drinking enough water there and sleeping late. Hai. All the external aggressors – how can I possibly have fair clear skin.
Okie, I’m gonna try out the Ettusais Dual Effect product. Hopefully they will show some results soon! Stay tune to my next post for my review. *Excited*

Initially, I was quite excited about my new tan after being in Corsica for 3 days. But somehow, everyone says I look dull, and have lost my radiance. Hui Chun commented that I’m better off being fair. Oh well, she hates being yellow now.
And I thought of the new Beauty Buddies Programme by Ettusais! This will be a private hands-on session for you and your friends (max. 3 friends) to learn about beauty, skincare, makeup tips. Besides, for this month, you will get to experience an additional product during the session.
1. Ettusais Medicated Ance Dual Whitening Mask
Or
2. Ettusais Sebum Off Kit.
This is exactly what the both of us need now! Get rid of our white and blackheads plus regaining the fair skin. It would be great to try out the products before buying them!
Best of all, the Ettusais Beauty Buddies Programme is available by purchasing a $20 Ettusais redeemable voucher per person.
Feel free to speak to your Ettusais consultant at Isetan Scotts, Isetan Orchard, BHG Bugis or Metro Paragon and make your appointment. (:

okay, despite being back for a few days already, I’m still feeling jet-lag. Losing out on my beauty sleep, making my eyebags horrendous!
I’m relying on Ettusais Eye Zone Massaging Essence to save the day. Through the massaging steps, it helps to promote circulation and reduce water retention around the eye area. Makes my eyes feel fresh and relaxed.
Another product that helps me hide my dark circles is the Ettusais Eye Zone Tinted Eye Essence. I’m on my 2nd tube now. The 1st tube lasted me for 3 months!
This is really cool – eye essence + concealer~
The texture is similar to liquid concealer but in a lighter formula. And it doesn’t create fine lines around the eye area. Plus the soft and gentle brush applicator makes application such a breeze! Smear it onto your eye area and dab it on.
You will get to try out these 2 products at the Beauty Buddies Programme too!

Am I hooked to the outdoors or what? Did another shoot with Shen, a few days ago. Haha.. he’s a cool and funny guy. The 4 hour long shoot was pretty enjoyable!
Our set up at Fort Canning Park…
we reckon it looks like for some spa or nature advert… haha…
check this out! i’m streeetched~ lol..
Ooooppps. Caught in action! Haha.. what am I spraying on my legs!?
Collected the Ettusais products before heading for the shoot and wanted to try them out immediately!! Hahah..
It’s Acne Body Whitening Mist from Ettusais!
It helps to keep the skin moisturized and fair! It also lightens and clears the blemishes on our body! At the same time, preventing acne formation on our body.
I had pimples popping out on my back previously. Now, this whitening mist and the Acne Aroma Body Wash are gonna be my best friends!
I was told that the body wash has a floral fruity scent. Couldn’t wait to bath time, so I opened it and gave a good sniff! Smells really citrus and floral…. Rose, Jasmine, Apple, Pear, Peach.. So yummy! And the aroma seems to take the stress away, it smells really refreshing!
It has antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties that remove excess oil and impurities, keeping our body skin blemish-free. But it’s also gentle and keeps the skin moisturized!
When I went to change into my 2nd outfit, I took the body wash along, squeezing a little out, foaming it up.. haha.. I didn’t bath in the toilet. Was merely using the aroma to freshen myself up! Was really tempted to take a bath though. The weather was so humid!
Of course I did use it when I got home. Loved the refreshing feeling. (:
The 2nd look for the shoot. Some sort Emo…
played with the light effects…
this was for the shadow effect…
haha.. my constraint space attempt.. failed!
Can’t wait to see the final photos… We’ve got a couple of good shots and interesting ones!
And oh yes! How can I leave this out:
Ettusais is organizing something for you ladies! I’m so excited about it too!
There will be a Cupcake Decorating Workshop on 25th July 09!
Why this workshop? If you didn’t know, stress is the number one cause of acne. And DESSERTS is STRESSED spelled backwards! So come join us for an afternoon of fun!

This summer, everything spells bold and bright.
Ditch your boring browns and dreary neutrals. This season, eye makeup is going fun!
Bold teals, rich royal blues…
Bright yellows, poppy pinks…
Seductive violets…
I have gotten myself 2 candy pop colors from Ettusais!
Combining the colors from the feminine palette, I have created 2 looks!
Icy Cool Blue…
1. Use the pearl white as base, spread over the entire lid.
2. Followed by BL1, apply on your eyelids.
3. Pick up some pearl white, using the same applicator (same side as the BL1 to create a light dreamy blue), soften the edges and the inner corner of your eyes.
4. Pick up some black and BL1 and line your lids. It will give a dark blue color that blends in with the look.
A nice vibrant and yet subtle blue..
Sunkiss Glow…
1. Use the pearl white as base, spread over the lid entirely.
2. Followed by PK1, apply on the outer eyelid and blend the colour.
3. Pick up some pearl white, using the same applicator (same side as the PK1 to create a soft peach color), apply to the inner eyelid.
4. Pick up some black and dark pinkish-purple and line your lids. Add on some PK1 to soften the line.
A glowing subtle orangey pink. (:
*The most important key to note is to remember that a little bit goes a long way!
And when making a bold eye shadow choice, keep the rest of the face soft and neutral.

With the recent increase in our temperature, you know that SUMMER is here!
And don’t you just crave for some delicious cold yummy ice-cream?
Haha.. looks good yeah? But it’s not ice-cream. It’s Ettusais’ Limited Edition Summer Vacance Nail Polishes!
Comes in 15 vibrant and cheery colors, just for this summer!
What’s so special about these nail polishes? Besides the colors, these polishes come in miniature bottles!
The whole concept of naming it ‘Vacance Nails’ is because these are suited for the summer holidays! As we all know we hardly can finish the usual size of nail polishes, especially for the bold colors, Ettusais has come up with the miniature bottles for us, to last thru’ this summer!
Since it comes in a smaller bottle, you have no worries about not being able to finish it and let it dry out. As well, the pricing is very attractive too! The usual size of Ettusais’ Nail Polish cost $20. Whereas for the Vacance Nail Series, each miniature bottle is priced at $4 only! And you can easily get the set of 15 colors at only $60!!
These nail arts are all done with Ettusais’ Vacance Nail Polishes. Pretty cool, huh!
You may think that it’s quite difficult to do your own nails. But fret not! Ettusais is having a Nail Art Workshop for you to learn the tricks of dressing up your nails for this summer! This session will be conducted by Miss Higashida, Ettusais’ very own nail art artist from Tokyo~
Date: 13 June 2009
Time: 10:30am – 12:30pm 3.00pm to 5.00pm
