Lash Diary – Day 2

Posted on by
Reply

Spent the whole afternoon at IKEA with my parents, looking at kitchen cabinets. It was a tiring job, since we are working on a tight budget. Nevertheless, I finally got a mirror for my room! :D

I kept my makeup simple today – powder, eyeliner and a coat of mascara.

Sometimes, it’s pretty troublesome when it comes to removing eye makeup, especially the heavy ones like last night. I had a full eye makeup on – primer, smokey eyeshadow, eyeliner + coats of mascara.

Although I came back home last night feeling really tired after the drinks, I made sure every single bit of makeup was removed. And thank goodness for the Speedy Eye Make Off.

It makes eye makeup removing so easy!

It is one of the treasures we found at the lash hunt. ;)

Here’s how I removed my eye makeup today, with lots of tender loving care. :)

Now that I’m done removing my makeup, I shall enjoy my mini dinosaurs gummies and watch TV~ hehehh..

Lash Diary – Day 1

Having long, curled lashes is like every girl’s dream.

I do envy people with beautiful lashes, especially when I see them on guys.
Like hello, why do guys need long lashes!!

As they say, 天下没有丑女人，只有懒女人.
(There’s no ugly woman, only lazy ones)

Yes, as women, we want to look the best and be attractive. We work so hard just to get long curled lashes – we curl our lashes, apply mascara, stick on falsies, go for lash perm or lash extension, some even opt for lash implants.
But did you know that all these efforts are only short-term solutions, and they actually damage our eye lashes?

Some girls curl their lashes with mighty force.

And I have to admit I’m one of them.

I always press hard on the curler and hold for a second. However, by doing so, your lashes would appear 90 degrees upwards rather than a nice natural curl. Furthermore, it adds a lot of pressure on your lashes.

The way to go, is pressing gently on the curler at each angle :
1. near to the lash line
2. mid of the lashes
3. top of the lashes


I tried the “Gentle 3 steps” method today and I’m so amazed by the results.!

In the evening, we had dinner at a Teochew restuarant and hit the pubs at club street.

Check out my lashes at night, the curls stayed through the hours~

Pretty cool huh. ;)

Lash Diary Prelude

Last week, the ambassadors received this from Ettusais:

Poor thing, we have gotta help out in finding the Lost Lashes!

So the ambassadors gathered at the office this evening, and began the search for the Lost Lashes.

We were given a thorough brief by the Police woman on how did the lashes went missing. It was indeed an informative session and we were even horrified by some of the contents!

Next, we continued our hunt and chanced upon a treasure chest by following the path.

It’s a treasure filled with goodies for our eye lashes~

We were taught on how to take good care of our lashes and we made a Tender-Love-Care pledge for our lashes~

Here’s the ambassadors with their pledge! :D

So stay tune to my blog over the next 5 days for my Lash Diary entries! :)

time of the month

It’s time of the month again… ☹

Every girl is tortured by this monthly visit and I’m sure guys hate the volatile mood swings from us.

Besides cramps and mood swings, the one other most irritating issue is ACNE!

I always, always get bumps around my forehead and my chin. They may be good signals to warn me about my period, but if there’s a choice, I rather not have the acne warnings.

I turned to Ettusais for help and they recommended the Medicated Acne Pre-Care Sheet~ I have noticed this product for the longest time and I just didn’t have any idea what it did.

But NOW, it has topped my chart and become my favourite acne fighting product! :D

“Pre-Acne Care Sheet”!!??

They are “mini-mask”, shaped like a band aid (haha, cute!) with 3 cuts to fit the curves on the face. This is best use when you feel a zit is coming. Just put these sheets on to the affected area(s) and it helps to calm the area down with peony essence, preventing the zits from getting inflamed.

The sheets are store in a nice container and furthermore, it comes along with a tweezer!

All you need to do is to pick up the sheets one by one (using the tweezer) and put over affected areas for just 10 minutes, as your last step of your skincare regime! If you wanna fight acne caused by menses, it is recommended to use daily for 2 weeks just before you period. :)

Alternatively, it works well on my bumps caused by stress too~ (The awfully painful ones near the eye brows.)

The Medicated Pre-Acne Care Sheet is retailing at $49 for a box (50 sheets) and the refills are at $37.

Aqua Splash

Are you perspiring madly whenever you step out of the house and you start to worry about your makeup getting smudge within a few hours? Well, I do.

It definitely feels great to be home since the temperature rose to 39 degrees during my last week spent in Shanghai. However, I must say the humidity beats the heat.

I am a combination skin type and the hot humid weather isn’t contributing any good to my skin. Instead, it is makes it prone to produce more sebum than usual.

More sebum = More blotting = More touch up!

Therefore, I bring along Ettusais Aqua Splash whenever I’m out for long hours.
DSC00054e

Ettusais Aqua Splash uses 100% refined water and contain white porous powder that helps to absorb the excess sebum, keeping the skin matt and prevent visible pores. The chamomile extract lowers the skin temperature to regulate the sebum production.

Simply hold the bottle 15cm away, spray it over the face and smooth with your palm.

Time for Pore Check!
DSC00053e

Cleansing the skin properly is the first step to reduce enlarged pores. Remember my entry on the Pore Care Wash earlier this year? How’s your experience with the wash? I’m still loving it! It is a milky type cleanser that foams up easily and cleanses the skin and removes unsaturated fatty acid and excess sebum, to keep enlarged pores at bay.

Besides a good cleanser, using a good proper makeup remover is also very important, especially when we are applying makeup everyday.
P1040761e

Ettusais Gentle Make Off removes makeup easily, quickly and effortlessly~ Simply dispense 3 pumps of gentle make off, spread it gently across the face and rinse thoroughly with water! It leaves no oily after-feel and there’s no need to cleanse your face again with a cleanser.

It’s been a while since I last felt so rejuvenating~ The sweet smelling flowers and gorgeous bright colors put on a big wide smile on my face. :D
P1090311e

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.

IMG_0854e

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

IMG_0855e

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

IMG_0857e

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.

IMG_0858e

IMG_0859e

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!

TW Part5: Jelly Beans Party!

Posted on by

If you would notice, I got a haircut in Taiwan. Recommended by Hui Chun, I decided to trust the famous hairstylist, 小曼老师. Upon calling for appointment, they told us that the earliest slot would be next year May! At the end, I did go ahead with another stylist, Monkey, from the salon.

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.

P1090157e

P1090271e

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.
P1090192e
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.
P1090205e

And not forgetting, coating my lovely nails with Ettusais Gel Top Coat!
P1090299e

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~ (:

dark rings fighter!

Posted on by

Like one says, eyes are the windows to the soul. I am especially particular about my eyes, since I have dark eye rings and sleepy-looking eyes.

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

The poor pandas….

panda
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:
IMG_0856e

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.
P1000206e

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!
P1080971e

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!

sparkling radiance

A month back when I returned to Shanghai, life was packed to the brim.

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.
P1080503e

The beige-colored liquid spreads out easily and is actually translucent. So there’s no worries about the beige color tone.  =)
P1080504e

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!
sparkling-pacte

The swirls in the compact powder simply reminds me of 2009 sweet marble collection! I love swirls~
P1080500e

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.
4323524856_9967eb8955

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! ;)
P1080519e

I was told that with every purchase of the Sparkling Pact, you will receive the case for free!
*while stocks last.
=) YAY! $20 saved~
P1080352e

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

I’m starting to enjoy the perks of 4 seasons! The weather is starting to turn for the better.

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!
P1080098e

The Ettusais goodies that Kelvin brought up for me:
P1080114e

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

And I’ve picked the Rose for my lippies.
P1080088e

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~
melty rouge details

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.
P1080099e

Isn’t it Amazing!!? I really love the color. :D
P1080104e

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. ;)
P1070370e

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.
P1080092e

The glosses are retailing at $25 each.

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

Pore Free Days~

Posted on by

If you are a fan of Ettusais Skincare or you have been following the ambassadors’ blog for some time, you would know of Ettusais 3 steps cleansing regime: Cleanse -> Soften up -> Moisturize

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!

P1070908e

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:
P1070899e

P1070900e

P1070901e

P1070903e

[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!

IMG_0091e

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! ;)

P1070906e

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:
