Ettusais has been really nice to send me a greeting card with lovely goodies just before the year ended!

The super moisturizing Lip Essence x Little Twin Stars. *Kawaiiiiiiii*!
Another one added to my inventory! I wonder how am I ever gonna use up all the Lip Essence and Lip Essence Stick with only a pair of lips. *smooch*

They have also included the Ettusais 2012 Planner! This is soooooo awesome~
Not only does it include monthly planners, they come with note pages after every month! Plus, there’s a sticker page too! Heh.

Totally loving my new HOT pink planner! Thank you Ettusais for the love` <3

Before the year ended, I managed to catch up with YQ.
This time round, the food places that we wanted to try were ALL fully booked~
So we settled for Halia @ Botanic Gardens.
I went there for brunch some years ago and it left me a good impression.

We had some fresh oysters for appetizers.
They were fine, not exactly the sweet type that I like.

His Oven-Baked Chilean Seabass Fillet.
You know, I always regret my choices because his food always turn out to be much nicer than mine! If you do dine at Halia, you cannot miss this seabass~
Even though it’s oven-baked, it doesn’t compromise on the fish’s freshness and tenderness. And the sauce is just mouth-watering!!!
The fish is accompanied by Japanese rice and cucumbers. Perfect combination!

Mine Pan-fried Hiramasa Kingfish.
It was really just so-so and I was simply drooling over the seabass throughout the dinner. I would usually choose seabass but I get disappointed all the time, so I decided to opt for kingfish and still, it was a disappointment.

We had a cheese platter to end off the dinner. Yums.

The gorgeous lightings at Botanic Gardens~

We had an end-year meal for the OPP team @ PS. Cafe!

Truffle Fries is to die for!!! <3
Portion is extremely h-u-g-e! It took 6 of us to finish up this plate~

Extremely sinful but nice!
You should never attempt this alone~ Trust me!

The OPP Team!
A pat on our shoulders for the wonderful 2011~
And a toast to an even better year ahead!

Another shot in the toilet~ Hehe.

L managed to come over on NYE and we check-in to MBS~

The view from our room.
It was too last minute and therefore we couldn’t get any of the City View rooms.

We had TWG for dinner because I was craving for the scones with tea jelly.

The scones tasted better at ION outlet and the tea jelly is still divine~ <3

Waiting for Amy and Victor to come over and join in for countdown!

A kind friend helped me brought back these little devil sweets from London!

Oh how I miss you little babies!

Extremely happy on NYE!

Savouring my Rose macaron` <3 <3 <3

Well, when i had both brands in Paris 2 years back, I favoured La Durée over Pierre Hermés. I kinda felt PH crust was overly soft. LD had a chewy bite.

But for now, I think I prefer Pierre Hermés. However, I’m still not a big fan of his experimental creations. The traditional flavours are my cup of tea!

Now, I wonder when will be my next encounter with these little sweeties!

MBS had made special arrangements for hotel guests to countdown at the Infinity Pool.

Just look at the crowd at 11:30pm!

It was a splendid night spent watching the beautiful fireworks popping just right in front of us!

Happy 2012 everyone!
May the New Year be filled with love & happiness everyday~

The BB cream craze has been going on for years and I still remember the first few Korean brands that I have tried. I know BB creams work magically on many girls but somehow it’s just not my cup of tea?

This coming September (tomorrow!), Ettusais will be introducing 2 BB products – BB Mineral Cream and BB Mineral Powder, while BB stands for “Back-to-Baby” skin. (:

Here’s Satoko-san from Ettusais Japan!

The Ettusais BB Mineral Cream is formulated with 79% skin care ingredients and not forgetting the star ingredient AC-Control Oil (yes, banish those acne!!!).

Satoko-san demonstrating the steps.

Dap it around the face and spread from inner out.

Next is the Ettusais BB Mineral Powder, containing Baby Mineral Powder, Micro Soft Powder, Pore Graduating Mineral Powder and Smooth Fitting Powder.

This is the Baby Mineral Powder. It’s so soft and fine, almost feels like nothing. Wooooo…

These two lovely BB Mineral products will be out in stores this Friday! Do check it out at the Ettusais counters. (:

Personal reviews of the products will be up soon!

The Ettusais ambassadors met up for a dinner date @ Food for thought! 2010 had been a busy year for all of us and we hardly get to meet up. Even so, Sarah was tied up at work while Jayne fell ill. You girls are missed!

While waiting for our food, we played a game, supposedly a cool popular one in Japan! Ha.

All we did was drawing connecting lines without knowing what it leads us to~

After a few rounds, Sherry revealed that the connecting lines will lead us to our prizes! Yeah~ What’s a game without prizes!!!

Ta-da! Here’s mine. (:

With Fidelis & Jaceyln.

Here’s some of the gifts the girls got! The limited edition swirl sweet marble~

Eye masks! This is so cute~

Here’s my steak for the night. It’s pretty good!

Christine ordered profiteroles for desserts and oh boy, it came in a huge surprise!

My apple crumble. Not to my liking. I think the desserts are merely passable. You can always opt to go elsewhere!

With 2011, the Ettusais ambassador program has come to an end.

It will take on a new form for this year. You can follow Ettusais on Facebook for latest updates & surprises! I will continue to review on Ettusais and other brands as well. (: We had a sneak preview of this awesome product launching in April. Will talk about it when I get my hands on the product in April!

À bientôt Ettusias!

So pretty, isn’t it! Resembles a miniature cake. Hehe.

It’s a tube of scented hand moisturizer by Ettusias – “Sweet Dear Hand”.

It contains macadamia nut oil, refined honey and hyaluronic acid that keeps the hand well-moisturized.

As the name suggests, the hand cream is smell deliciously yummy. Mine is grape-scented! Ahhh… smells so sweeeeet~

And it also contains bright (pink + gold) pearls that lend the skin a brilliant glow.

Sweet Dear Hand retails at $18.  Available in Strawberry, Pear and Grape scents.

Previous thoughts about lip liner:
- isn’t that for my mom and grandma?
- lip linear goes with lipstick yea?

Now, I have changed my perception towards lip liners~

Check out the Pencil Lip Liner in Orange (you can see the faint line around my lips). I do actually like the color!

Lip liner helps to create subtle definition and perfect our lips shape. It is best know to go with lipstick, acting as a base to make the lipstick last longer.

I bet you didn’t know you could pair lip liner with gloss too!

Bright sunny organge gloss!? Don’t be intimidated by it. You will be surprised to know it’s one of the best selling lip gloss at the counters!
This Jelly Gloss in OR1 color is sheer with a tinge of orange and bright shimmers~

I’m using the lip liner + gloss for Frenchfleurs’ photoshoot. My lippies look so kissable huh. Haha… (Oh my, I’m so obsessed with lips!)

This is definitely an issue that has been bothering me for the longest time ever. Even before my acne woes kicked in.

In times like this, lip balms definitely come in handy!

I’m a great fan of Ettusais Lip Essence ever since I started using them at the start of this year.

And guess what!? Ettusais has launched a limited edition lippie care product for this winter! –
Lip Essence (DEEP MOIST)

I know, I know, there’s no winter in Singapore. But that doesn’t mean we don’t get chapped lips.
Like for me, my lips are constantly dry. And I found out that it is caused by the absence of moisture from the lips.

I am already ‘wow-ed’ by the Lip Essence and Lip Essence Stick especially. But this Lip Essence (Deep Moist) is wow wow WOW~

It gives the lips an instant makeover with the hyaluronic acid that pumps up vertical lines. It’s also extra moisturizing with the honey added!

The texture is slightly thicker than the normal lip essence but doesn’t feel sticky or greasy. And I just love how fast it moisturizes my lips! Within 1-2 minutes after application, I can feel my dry chapped lips becoming soft and supple. =)

Lip Essence (Deep Moist) is a limited edition product and retails at $31.

I have another Aqua Splash to share with you girls today! And it is the limited edition Aqua Splash M introduced by Ettusais in October~

heh. It’s in our all-time favorite pink-colored bottle!

What is the difference between the 2 bottles? Both are makeup touchup products!

OB is for oily-skin while M is for dry-skin.

The Aqua Splash M is a moisturizing essence in spray bottle and it contains Trehalose – a natural moisturizing ingredient that helps our skin to retain moisture.

It is made with mineral ingredients and 100% refined water. Absolutely blemish-skin friendly.

Besides having a good makeup touch-up product, a good base is also does the trick for long-lasting makeup.

I love the Base Version Up UV from Ettusais!

Besides the skin-loving formulation that contains AC control oil and equipped with SPF 20 PA+, it has flash powder that gives the skin a radiant glow!

The finishing is smooth and it conceals visible pores and covers your freckles and blemish scars.

Base Version Up UV retails at $41 and the limited edition Aqua Slpash M is out in stores now at $29.

It was for the new Ettusais DUO compact foundation.

A lot of us have combination skin and the confusion kicks in when we purchased our foundation. Should we get an oil control foundation and moisture our cheeks more or get a foundation for dry skin and use oil control products on our T-zone? Heh.

Ettusais now introduces a new foundation that combines 2 different compact powders into 1 pact.

The top part is the Shine Prevention Powder that helps to absorb the excess sebum and prevent shine at T-zone. While the other is the Pore Covering Powder, which provides a long lasting smooth looking skin.

Firstly, pick up some shine prevention powder with the sponge and dab at the T-zone.

Next, flip the sponge over and pick up the pore covering powder and apply all over the face, like normal foundation.

I like the new DUO foundation! It gives a dewy effect and it is also an improved formula from the Zero Pore Pact. Now with the shine prevention powder, it keeps my T-zone matte for longer hours! Plus the new foundation case is so pretty!

The Ettusais DUO is retailing at $48 for the refill and $20 for the case. It is already in stores and for a limited period, you can get the set (1 refill + 1 case) at only $56!!!

Check out www.ettusais.sg or visit the counters and find the solution to your combination dilemma!
