I looked tanner right? I have become darker ever since X-Games event, a month plus ago. I didn’t exactly spend a lot of time out in the sun, but that cumulative 2-3hours per day was enough to make my skin a couple of shades darker! And I still have the atrocious tan line just right below my knee due to the gym pants that I wore.

Having to be exposed to the strong UV rays everyday, it is always pampering to treat your skin with a moisture mask. I’m a crazy mask lover – I would stock up on my mask supplies and mask my skin whenever I feel like it. Sometimes, I would use up to 4 masks per week!

Currently, I’m obsessed with Ettusais Medicated Acne Whitening Dual Mask. It is a whitening mask that tailors to acne-prone skin by preventing pimples and yet also provides intensive care for dark spots, freckles and acne scars.

I would follow my normal regime and apply the AC Aqua Shooter that keeps skin hydrated and fight acne bacteria, before applying my mask!

And the thing I love most about it – it comes in 2 pieces!! One for T-Zone and the other for U-Zone.

Needless to say, the T-zone mask targets the oil-prone T zone, boosting the moisture level while the U Zone keeps the other half of your face away from dryness and fine lines.

Just within 15 minutes, my face feels so soft and supple. =)

After removing the Medicated Acne Whitening Dual Mask, I gently massage the remaining essence into my skin! And ta-da, I wake up to ultra soft and fairer skin the next day!

He did a simple analysis of my hair condition and my looks, and discussed with me on the new look. Everything sounded good, and the end product was alright.

I am just a little fussy about my fringe though, it is neither here nor there. I guess I should just be a good girl and stick to Kenaris.

Besides pampering myself to a whole lot of shopping, good yummy food and an expensive haircut (it cost me 1500NT!), I planned to paint my nails! I missed painted nails. I brought along my Jelly Beans Party Box from Ettusais, all the way from Singapore to Shanghai to Taiwan, just for my vacances.

Remember the limited edition Ettusais Vacances Nail collection last year? Now, they are back and back with a sniff~

Upon drying, these colors are scented with either yummy coconut, peach, raspberry or citrus smells! (:

Here’s my pack of vacances nail colors + gel top coat.

From L-R: Ettusais Gel Top Coat, 14 Sugar, F1 Honey Caramel, 10 Soda, F6 Pink Guava

I did a simple “diva” nails with the F1 Honey Caramel and French the tips with 14 Sugar.

And not forgetting, coating my lovely nails with Ettusais Gel Top Coat!

It has the glossy and shiny texture that makes the nails look like gel nails! At the same time, it conditions the nails with jojobar oil and it dries so quickly that you don’t have to worry about smudges!

Love my coconut scented gel-like nails~

And guess what? I spotted Ettusais counters in Taipei @ 新光三月.
Talked to the beauty advisors and they are all so friendly and smiley, just like ours in Singapore~ (:

Panda eyes are like the most hated. Once it gets on to you, it is so difficult to get rid~

The poor pandas….

Panda: “oh come on.”

Dark rings are result from poor blood circulation from lack of sleep, or hereditary reasons. Poor blood circulation shows easily because the skin around the eye area is thinner and more delicate.

And here’s my duo dark rings fighters:

In view of the fact that I am not able to receive my full 8 hours of beauty sleep for every single day, I turned into improving the blood circulation through eye massage using Ettusais Eye Zone Massaging Essence.

Through massaging, it helps to promote blood circulation and reduces the puffiness around the eye area. It also has vitamin C derivation to lighten those dark circles that are caused by pigmentation!

It is clear gel-like essence which is suited for massage moves. Using both ring fingers, tap the essence around the eye area and go gently in circular motion.

Concealing is the other way out. I tried out Ettusais Eye Zone Tinted Color Essence last February and since then; it has been the essential item in my makeup pouch.

The Eye Zone Tinted Color Essence combines eye essence and concealing properties into one. It has a lightweight liquid texture and comes in a soft gentle brush applicator.

Just twist, smear on and dab to blend!

The tinted color pigments neutralize the dark circles and provide a natural coverage.

That’s why it is the ‘IT’ item in my makeup pouch! It is also the secret to “no makeup” look too~ Just conceal the eye area with Eye Zone Tinted Color Essence, puff on some loose powder over the face and you are ready to go!

It was so crazy that I actually burnt one of the nights doing up a training presentation in Chinese. Followed on with setup of the tradeshow, I only had 3-5 hours of sleep each night over 3 days. Totally exhausted.

I was really worried about looking fatigued and I thought I should try out the new products from Ettusais for instant glow! =)

First up, Base Version Up UV. This pre-makeup base is lightweight in texture and evens out your skin tone, giving a glowing complexion. You can really tell a difference after application as it covers up blemishes, freckles and pores.

The beige-colored liquid spreads out easily and is actually translucent. So there’s no worries about the beige color tone.  =)

It also contains AC Control oil that keeps skin moisturized while fighting acne bacteria. I’m really in need of it to help me fight the breakouts caused by burning midnight oil.

Next is the Sparkling Pact – the powder foundation that gives instant glow!

The swirls in the compact powder simply reminds me of 2009 sweet marble collection! I love swirls~

The Sparkling Pact contains pearl pigments that scatter light for glowy radiant skin and creates a face-slimming effect. Just think of pearls, it always reflects a glow from the middle and is dim around. That’s how the contouring effect is created.

It comes in 3 tones: 10 (light), 20 (natural), 30 (healthy).
I’m using 20 and I just love the effect of glow from beneath!

I was told that with every purchase of the Sparkling Pact, you will receive the case for free!
*while stocks last.
=) YAY! $20 saved~

Ettusais Sparkling Pact retails at $45 and Ettusais Base Version Up UV at $41.

Just 2 days ago, it snowed but it’s 20 degrees today! Feels good that Spring is approaching!

Everything seems so cheery and I’m in the mood for lipsticks and glosses!

The Ettusais goodies that Kelvin brought up for me:

I have to say, the Melty Touch Rouge is simply AMAZING!!
It comes in 5 colors – Pink, Rose, Red, Orange and Beige.

And I’ve picked the Rose for my lippies.

See the 2 rims on the lipstick? The inner one is the gloss and the outer rim is the lip color, giving the perfect combination of color, gloss and moisture~

Think that the Rose color looks too strong? In fact, it’s actually quite sheer when you apply on. And it melts to the lips making it spread smoothly and easily. Check out the color difference of my lips!

The upper is my original lip color while the lower is after applying Melty Touch Rouge in Rose.

Isn’t it Amazing!!? I really love the color.

The Melty Touch Rouge is retailing at $30 and it is LIMITED EDITION!!! Quick go grab!!

Besides the wonderful lipsticks, Ettusais has also introduced brand new lip glosses for this Spring~

Jelly Gloss: comes in 15 shades – 7 sheer and 8 opaque!
Isn’t that great? Sometimes we feel like sheer, sometimes we want colors. Ettusais have introduced so many shades for you to choose from, you’re sure to find something suitable.

And with the unique spatula application, it allows the gloss to glide on evenly and smoothly, creating glossy and plump lips like jelly! It is equipped with Jojoba oil that helps to treat your lips and seal in the moisture.

The glosses are retailing at $25 each.

Both Melty Touch Rouge and Jelly Gloss are out in stores already! Remember to check them out!

My friends would ask me, “What about toner!? Wouldn’t your pores enlarge?”

Well, many girls are concerned with pores, especially on the nose and cheek areas. Enlarged pores can be caused by squeezing of acne and the unsaturated fatty acid in excess sebum.

Now, let Ettusais Pore Care Wash come to the rescue!

The way to combat enlarged pores is to banish dirt, be gentle with your skin and hydrate it well.

And the all-new Pore Care Wash equips itself with all of the above!

See me in action:

[Banish Dirt] The ultra fine foam lifts away impurities (unsaturated fatty acid) and fights acne with AC control oil.

[Gentle to Skin] It is extremely important to whip up thick creamy foam so that there is no friction on your face as you cleanse. Friction causes unnecessary stress to your skin, causing it to sag and enlarge the pores.

[Hydrates] With jojobar oil, it corrects and conditions rough skin. Plus the AC control oil forms a light and thin veil over the skin, ensuring the skin stays moisturized and protected!

After cleansing our face, remember to soften the skin with Version Up so that our skin is prepped for absorbing the most moisture from Aqua Shooter!

I have been using it for 2 months and there’s still 1/3 amount left in the bottle. I supposed each bottle could last for 3 months. The Pore Care Wash performs as well as the Gentle Wash and I noticed that it reduced my blackheads too! Although it may take a few times to master the foaming technique, but practice makes perfect!

Ettusais Pore Care Wash is retailing at $30. Do visit http://ettusais.sg or check it out in stores:

The 2009 Ettusais journey had been such a wonderful experience for me.

And my heartfelt congrats to Holly, Zoe and Sarah for winning the top 3!

At the same time, I’m really delighted to be branded once again as Ettusais Ambassador!!!

For 2010, there’s an addition of Adeline, Jacelyn and Jayne.

Welcome onboard girls! Can’t wait to meet up with you girls when I’m back.

(p.s. jayne, you might have seen me around at the cs benches.)

I hope 2010 will be a better year for all of us and more interaction with my dear readers.

Although i’m 2336miles away from Singapore, I will still share with you on my reviews and do my best to answer to your queries on Ettusais’ products!

With the cold chilly weather, my lips just go dry easily. Having in mind, I prepped myself with different lip balms to fight the dryness. But none of them is able to perform – I constantly find myself applying the balm every hour.

Although I’m here on my own, I still want my lips to look moisturized and highly kissable! Haha.

So, Ettusais is so sweet to send me the “Ultimate Kiss Kit”!

I was really excited as I have heard so much about Ettusais Lip Essence! Some of the ambassadors are great fans of it.

See what I’ve gotten -> the Lip Essence and the new Lip Essence (stick)!

Plus, the guide to using the ultimate kiss kit:

First up, take some refreshing sweets to freshen up the breath! You don’t want your target to smell what you had for lunch/dinner.

Follow on, apply Ettusais Lip Essence.  I’m trying out the all new Lip Essence (stick)!

The usual Lip Essence comes in a tube with the gloss effect.
(psst. they have increased the amount from 8g to 10g!)

Whereas for the stick version, it gives a matte finishing and yet a rosy glow from beneath – super natural!

Our lips don’t produce sebum and have low natural moisturizing function as compared to our skin.

The secret to have pretty pink lips is good blood circulation!

Ettusais Lip Essences are made with an ingredient – glucosyl hesperidin, which helps to promote blood circulation, in turn giving us moisturized lips.

Hmm… I wonder if it helps by massaging my lips. Lol. I think I will save the trouble and just kiss more often.

Besides the moisturizing effect, the lip essences are also equipped with SPF 18 PA++ to fight out UV rays.

After moisturizing your lips, you need some target practice – Practice makes perfect!

Hmmm…. I don’t fancy any of them though. i want Takashi. lol.

And now, you are all ready to find the hot guy and give a good smooch!

Too bad there isn’t any eye candy for me in the office.. awww….

But I’m glad that my lips are well-moisturized through the day!   think I better get Kelvin to help me buy another set when he comes up to see me n 2 weeks’ time! (yay!)
