[Hair Post] Red Head Mode Chic x Monso Hair Design Tokyo

Yello again!!

If you haven't followed me on Instagram yet *death stares*, you'd probably didn't know I went for a hair makeover huh.. 

Yep!! I finally have decided to go redddddd!!


I got some inspirations from Ena Matsumoto and Momoko Ogihara for both the cut and color.
Both of them are my inspirations! Be it to be as beautiful or be as successful as them!

To be honest, I wanted to go red for the longest time but have always been putting it off cos I love having my hair in different shades of browns, ash and all. And I can't remember which person in my life told me that if I were to ever go red, it'd be REALLY difficult to achieve another color.


But this time, I was really kinda sick of my boring hair color and length which was already reaching my waist! >.<

So I was really glad and excited that Monso Hair Design Tokyo offered to be my hair sponsor!


Monso Hair Design Tokyo is conveniently located beside Gallery Hotel and as their name states.... They are a Japanese hair salon with super awesome hairstylists from Japan with lotsa experience!

I had my hair arrange done by Monso's hairstylists on a couple of events before such as the Lowry's Farm fashion show, and I really like how creative they were!

Super busy staff at work!

My arty farty shot of a corner of the salon~
Mad good lighting beaming in to the salon from outside!

And some pictures from their website which looks wayyy better =D


It seems to me that most Japanese salons goes for simplicity; which I really appreciate..
Gives me the feeling that I'm at home hehe~


Shampoo area


Before I began the consultation with Soga-san (Director/ Salon Manager), I was given a menu to have a drink to accompany me through session~


I chose Latte! Me is caffeine addict~ XD


They even went a step higher by providing me a small lil tray to hold my earrings since I will be coloring my hair~ I just love how detailed and understanding Japanese service is.



And sooo~ my session started! I reached at about 12.30pm and only ended at about 6pm cos I had 2 rounds of bleaching + 2 tone color + cut + many rounds of shampooing

This was probably the longest time I've ever sat in a chair without moving my butt off~ XD
But I didn't mind at all cos I am very happy with the end result!

After 2 rounds of bleaching, right picture: after shampooing

Yes I feel like a princess cos I have 3 stylists working on my hair~ HAHHAHA!


2 tone coloring, right picture: after shampooing
 And the final step! To chop chop chop my hair!!
I've kept my hair for about 2-3 years now and only trimming it now and then.

This much of hair was chopped off but to my surprise, I didn't feel any heart pain or whatsoever.
XD



After a long sitting of 6 hours, here's the final result!
It looks a bit brighter at the ends cos Nakata-san (main stylist who did my hair that day) decided to add on a lil more oopmh on the red just so that it will look better and not so boring~

I had my hair cut till my chest area and bangs cut straight across~
Nakata-san even asked me if I wanted to look cool or cute when he was cutting my fringe, I immediately said.. COOL PLEASE. AHHAHAHAH!

Back view

View of the other color hiding~ hehe
 Here's another way of styling my new hair - by tucking it behind my ears!


Thank you Nakata-san and Soga-san for taking the time to give me awesome looking hair!
And not to mention, although I bleached my hair twice, my hair still feels the same like before!

Also thank you thank you Takuma-san who previously did my treatment before this visit which I did not blog about but it is a super cool treatment, you gotta go check it out!

With Nakata-san!

Hello Everyone!! 

Sorry for the lack of updates~ (。・人・`。))ゴメンネ
I've been sooooo busy with work lately I can't even breath... -_-

But anyway... I'm back again with a short and SUPER BACKDATED *punches self* about my meetup with Natsuko Togo, model from SCawaii that was held at JRunway!!


If you don't know who Natsuko Togo is, just google her name and tons of her pretty pictures will show!
But since I had the time, I googled some of her piccies I am totally in love to show you!

MAD PRETTY!!!!!


And one of Natsuko with my favourite
HAPPIE NUTZ model Sayoko!!

Ain't she the sweetest thing??!
Plus she's super friendly too!

She was in Singapore for the JStar competition to be one of the panel of judges and I was sooooo nervous, can you imagine? A real life Japanese model from a big time magazine like SCawaii to be judging !?

If you haven't read my post on the JStar competition, you can read it HERE *Just realised I haven't blogged about the Tokyo Fashion Night whattt?! *=X~

So anywayyy~~ Other then the judging, Natsuko was here to introduce her new brand Riche Je U



Currently, JRunway is selling mostly her line of accessories like necklaces, bracelets, earrings etc..
And I really feel like getting the earrings so much but I only have 1 side of my ears pierced
 (ノД`)・゜・。

But I was super lucky to receive one of the super cute choker from Natsuko herself when the top 10 finalists for the JStar competition was announced at the Tokyo Fashion night!

Me wearing the Queen Pearl Choker

And another Instagram picture when I wore the choker out on a date with Le BF!



Natsuko was really really friendly and even taught the JStar Girls a few tricks about posing for the camera! I have to admit, I did learn quite a bit from the session! She even recommended what product of her brand would suit us girls!

Photo from Natsuko's blog

I ended up buying a cap (shown in the picture above) which was REALLY trending and still trending I find and a simple gold bangle which I'm loving so much I wear it out wherever I go.

Gold Studded Bangle (JRunway Price: SGD$19)
LINK TO PRODUCT
Other then meeting up close and asking tons of questions with Natsuko, I also had a great time meeting up with the JStar girlies! As usual, Pearlin and Iiwen were my crazy buddies in this competition~ XD I always have so much fun talking to them and gossiping like there's no tomorrow~


I only managed to take a picture with Iiwen though :(

Cos...... I didn't bring my camera and well yea cos I was SUPER DUPER tired after work too~ (´Д`。)

And sooo, that's all for this post and I really wanna thank JRunway so much for this opportunity to get to meet new people that I'd never in my life thought I would get a chance to see them in real person!

Last picture with Natsuko-san!
I hope you enjoyed your trip here to Singapore!


Do remember to like JRunway's Facebook page for super awesome deals, and I mean super awesome (if you see my Instagram often enough =D

[Makeup Review] Elizabeth Arden Color Intrigue Effects Lipstick: Cranberry Cream

$

Hello Hello!!

I know I've been SOOOOO behind on my blog posts.
I'm so sorry cos I've been away in China for the past 1 week and as you all know, China literally blocks EVERY SINGLE SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM that is available, and that includes blogger.
 
But that aside, I'm finally back with a proper make up review again!!! Blogging at the Incheon Aiport right now.
And this time is a lipstick review from a brand I love love love!!

It's the 


I probably haven't blogged before about how much I love Elizabeth Arden's Lip products but I did a Favourites Video on my Youtube Channel about how the love started from my first Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Lip Balm here:

 
I got this at the Duty Free cosmetics shop at Singapore's airport and it only costed me like 15 bucks cos it was on sale that day.
 
I immediately picked this color up just cos it is the A/W season now and deep bold reds are the thang! But even when it is isn't A/W, I still do wear reds - just not DEEP reds. =D
 
So less talk, swatches first!
 
Swatch with natural light on white base

Swatch on lips
Top: Natural Lighting
Bottom: With Flash
 
Now.. On to the Pros and Cons! Oh I love doing this part..
 
PROS:
- VERY VERY rich and moisturizing (as expected from Elizabeth Arden)
- Doesn't emphasize on cracks or lip "wrinkles"
 
CONS:
- Did not really reflect exact color when applied on lips
- No matter how many coats you apply on your lips, it doesn't get any darker or closer as compared to the swatch on a white background - applies to the color I got
 
 
 
Conclusion: (Max 5 ♥)

(Elizabeth Arden Color Intrigue Effects Lipstick: Cranberry Cream)



Availability: ♥♥

Available in only at Elizabeth Arden's makeup counters/ Duty Free Store at Airports
*I won't suggest going anywhere else to get it just in case they might not be authentic*



Price: ♥♥♥♥

I got mine for SGD$ 15 so it was quite worth it for me. Searched on the official Elizabeth Arden website, and it is selling for about SGD$ 25. So I guess unless they have a sale and you manage to get it for 15 bucks then is will be a 4 hearts for you??



Will I repurchase this again?

I doubt I'll get it at the same price so maybe not. I'm cheapo when it comes to lipsticks HAHAH! But it was a good buy cos I love Elizabeth Arden's level of moisturizing in their lippies! Color was alright only.



That's all for this post, I'm going to depart back to Singapore soon!
6 hours stopover was surprisingly easy to pass!


I'll see you in my next post soon!!

Love y'all!!

[Skincare Review + Routine] Hanaka Blackhead Pore White Mask

$
0
0
Yello everyone!!

As promised... I'm back with a review!

Today's review is on the Hanaka Blackhead Pore White Mask!!

So now.. Let's start the story...


Just a quick overview of my skin, I have a combination skin with the T-Zone being generally more oily then my U-Zone (cheek area). My pimples/ millia seeds aka whiteheads tend to break out mostly on my chin and nose.

As for black heads, I'm sure those who have has blackhead problems usually have them accumulating at the nose area? Well, same here + sometimes on my chin as well. T^T 
And with that, I'M SURE some of you out there always try to squeeze them out right?!
PLEASE DON'T! I'm guessing the influence comes from facials where they ALWAYS squeeze every single shit out. I won't say they are doing the wrong thing because they have the correct equipments to open and close your pores properly.

But when you do it yourself, if you don't open your pores for extraction and close it once done with extracting the proper way, that's it..
You will have orange peel skin. 

Your pores enlarge for simple reasons - 
1.  Without proper opening of pores, you are FORCING your blackheads to squeeze themselves out of a hole smaller than their size.. -_- Just imagine....

2.  After you have ALREADY forced your blackheads to squeeze out of a hole smaller than itself, you've lost elasticity in your skin. Ok.. Maybe you tell me: "But I always use a cold toner to help constrict the pores!" That was what I thought last time too but no... sadly.. it helps a little but not to the extend of getting back the same elasticity..Once your skin's elasticity is lost, it's never coming back. 

SCARED NOW??? 

I have had my own experience of going to facials and squeezing my blackheads out on my own.

I REGRET MUCH...
I could have had much better and smoother skin if I didn't do so.

On  a side note, I don't encourage you all to squeeze your pimples too, I used to squeeze them cos I can't stand the pus in there but I came to realize that if I squeezed them, I tend to have "dents" due to the force as compared to patiently applying pimple cream on it every night till it dries off and flakes off by itself, the scars are just of a darker pigmentation which will go away with time. Your skin is VERY delicate, so stop torturing your skin already!!
I haven't been squeezing my blackheads or pimples out for the longest time.. And you should too...


So back to reviewing~~

I first came to know about the Hanaka Blackhead Pore White Mask from Hana Tam, a famous Hong Kong Youtuber that I found while googling for new products to eliminate blackheads.. And her video came up..
(She's so cuteeee *pedophile smile*)


I've been using the Hanaka Blackhead Pore White Mask for about  1.5 months now and I've got to say.. 
I LOVE IT!!

My blackheads have gotten a lot lesser and my pores seem to have shrunk quite a fair bit.
Also, every time I finish using it, my skin feels so smooth!!

Comparison of the big tub of mask beside my sunnies!
I must say, this tub of jelly textured mask is by far, the best & most worth the money paid for mask I've ever gotten.

Look!!! BLACK JELLY!!
I really love how my skin feels when I apply the mask.. SO COOLING~~


Now..... Before I get to my conclusion for the Hanaka Blackhead Pore White Mask, here's my skincare routine twice every week to get rid of my blackheads aka my deep cleansing routine!
Always remember to only deep cleanse at night, if you do it in the day, your skin will be exposed to dirt, dust and harmful UV rays which is not good cos the outer layer of you skin has already been removed!

GOLLY-LOCKS DEEP CLEANSING ROUTINE 
(twice nightly a week)

Step 1:     Normal cleansing to remove surface dirt and grime 
(Product used: Leaders Insolution AC Stop Foam Cleanser - Review HERE)

Step 2:     Use gentle facial scrub to further cleanse and prep skin for mask.
(Product used: Cure Natural Aqua Gel / Clarins White Plus
Renewing Gentle Brightening Exfoliator)
 


Step 3 (Optional):     Pat face dry with a soft towel and wet a cotton pad with facial lotion/ essence and pat face till fully absorbed.
(Product used:  SK-II Facial Treatment Essence)


Step 4:     Time for Hanaka Blackhead Pore White Mask! Using a facial spatula, scoop out an amount of jelly from the tub enough to cover the whole face/ areas with blackhead problems - this is to avoid having bacteria from entering the whole tub of mask.
*TIP: Soak a small towel in warm water and squeeze out excess water to cover areas like the nose where blackheads are more stubborn*
Leave on for 30 - 40 mins before using the same spatula to scrap off all the jelly and rinse with warm water.
(Product used:  Hanaka Charcoal Blackhead Pore White Mask)
 

Step 5:     Apply KOSE's Seikisho White Mask on the nose area to further remove any stubborn blackheads. Wait for mask to be completely dry before peeling upwards.
(Product used:  KOSE Seikisho White Mask)


Step 6:     Tone and Moisturize skin! 
(Product used:  Toner: Neutrogena Alcohol-Free Toner ; Eyecream: The Body Shop Vitamin E Eye Cream ; Moisturizer: Hada Labo Super Hyaluronic Acid Lotion + Snail Street Cream )

The routine above personally works for me very well, but it might differ for each and everyone of you.
Especially the KOSE Sekkisho Mask, it's better you do not use it if you have very dry/ sensitive skin.


Conclusion: (Max 5 ♥)
(Hanaka Blackhead Pore White Mask)

Texture: ♥♥♥
Feels light since it is of a jelly texture, feels cooling on the skin too!
However, it's a pain applying it, because of its jelly like texture, the mask moves around so much when spreading.

Effect on my skin: ♥♥♥
Love the effect! My skin feels soooo much smoother every time I use the mask! 
Plus I did notice a reduction in my pore size and blackheads ever since.

Availability: ♥♥♥
Not available for sale in Singapore (i think..) But if you have a computer + internet at home, just order it online!! I got mine at Qoo10!

Price: ♥♥♥
I got mine for SGD $22.90 excluding delivery fees, but I find that it is quite worth the money for a huge tub of 250ml mask which I can probably use for 2 months?

Will I repurchase this again?
I will DEFINITELY repurchase it again, and maybe try the other masks too!!
LOVE LOVE LOVE!


Hope this review was helpful to you and I'll see you in my next post!!

So.. Yep.. As the title says... I'M HEADING TO MELBOURNE!



Yep.. Mandatory Great Ocean Road's photo to sum up this post cos it is THE one place I wanna visit the most when I'm there!

I always get super excited when I visit a new country.. For holiday.. Not work.. -_-

Do you guys feel the same way as I do about being at the airport ready to take off and head to another country for a vacation? Cos I definitely feel TOO excited for my own good I didn't sleep a wink at all...

I'm super sleepy now but I guess I'll just sleep on the flight, but definitely gonna wake up when I am about to reach and take my favourite in-flight photos of mad pretty and fluffy clouds & gorgeous looking oceans and islands.

But of cause, I'm not only hyped up about going on a road trip with my family to visit the Great Ocean, I'm hyped about seeing the animals! I'll be switching houses 3 times in a week just so that we can immerse ourselves in every part of melbourne for a couple of days.. And... One of the place we rented... Has sightings of ALPACAS !

[Makeup Review] Clear Last Compact Powder Feat. Peach John!

$

Hello!! Did you miss me?? HEHEHHE~

I know I promised to review products while I was away on holiday in Melbourne but... *excuse coming up* I just wanted to do a proper and detailed review instead of doing a half-assed one XD

So so~ Today's review is on the 
CLEAR LAST COMPACT POWDER feat. PEACH JOHN!



I KNOW.... SUPER PRETTY RIGHT?!

The first thing that attracted me to this was of cos the packaging, and then.. PEACH JOHN!!

If you don't know what Peach John is, they are one of the leading brands in Japan that sells super pretty lingerie! Which also explains the pretty packaging with their collaboration with Clear Last.

They even collaborated with Snappee, a photo editing app! That was how I got my photos to be so pretty with their logo HAHAHA! 
 And after I got it, I went researching a bit more and realised they are soooo highly raved by lots of Japanese Youtubers!! 

So.. Let's get on to the review!


I got the this Clear Last powder from Sasa for about SGD$22.90 and it was a pretty good product I would say. I was quite skeptical when they said "GOOD COVERAGE" cos it seems more of a loose compact powder then a coverage powder, but I was so wrong..

There are 2 versions of the Clear Last Powder, the one I got had shimmers in it and the other one shown below doesn't.

What it claims as according to the website:
- Infused with pearl shin to create a crystal & fair skin that glows from within.
- Powder is derived from 7 kinds of powder to smoothen and cover all pores with soft focus effect for flawless skin.
- Evens out skin tone, covers imperfections with high cover power ochre powder that feels lightweight on the skin.
- Perspiration, water & oil resistant.
- Lasts all day long!
- Formulated with Hyaluronic acid to plump your skin with moisture for a radiant finish.
- Sun protection of SPF23 PA++


Can you see the shimmers?! They are super fine and really made my skin glow~

I usually use a powder brush to apply it cos I just can't bear to use the pretty pretty puff laaaaa~~

==============

I did some swatches and here they are!

Can you see the obvious color difference below?? You might be thinking, "will it look too white then?"
Well I tried it on my face and no it doesn't! I just made my face look really smooth and glowy~ heheh~





If you can't get the Peach John editions of the Clear Last Powder, there is the normal ones sold at Watsons too~ I think they are formulated differently so go get them and try them out!! I'm probably gonna get the normal non shimmery ones to try~




Conclusion: (Max 5 ♥)
(Clear Last Compact Powder Feat. Peach John)

Texture: ♥♥♥
I love how it feels on my skin! It feels super light weight!

Effect on my skin: ♥♥♥
The effect of the glow-iness is quite subtle yet able to tell that your face is glowing~ 
The coverage was surprisingly good too but does not cake up at all!
I went out for about 12 hours and I only touched up once cos it didn't get all icky and oily. 

Availability: ♥♥♥
Got mine at Sasa, Watsons has it too but it is the normal Clear Last Powder. 

Price: ♥♥♥
I got mine for SGD $22.90, for a face powder I think it is still reasonable plus the effect was pretty good so.. 4 stars!!

Will I repurchase this again?
Yep I will! But I doubt by the time I finish using this tub there will be any more of the Peach John versions. 


I'll see you in my next blog post!! *CHU CHU*

[Sponsored Review] Perkier and Firmer with Tokyo Bust Express!

Hello hello my lovely Golly-Lockies!

How have all of you been?? Missed me? =D

Today I’m going to touch on a “sensitive” topic… At least to me =(


I was kindly invited by Tokyo Bust Express to try out their bust treatments at their City Square Mall outlet just about a week ago.

I’ve heard so much about their bust treatments from bloggers and also saw their advert on TV but never really dared to actually go do it. To be honest, I was a little skeptical as to whether it would work before I went for the treatment because they claimed that their products used were all natural. Hmmm~~

Reception area all blinged up to prepare for the Christmas season!

Just a quick summary about my bust *very sad face.jpg*:

I was at my peak of 74kg when I was 14 years old and I had a big C-cup, most probably due to me being overweight.
After a constant year and half of mocking from my classmates, I went downhill and had a really unhealthy eating habit and lost a whooping 20kg in about 3 – 4 months. Although I lost the weight, I lost my bust too. From a big C-cup, I became a small C close to a B.
And because I lost so much weight in such a short span of time, every part of me just sagged including my bust.

I've been gaining weight and losing weight every now and then that my bust size just doesn't increase anymore and I can’t really do anything about the sagginess.

But I’m really glad that I went for the treatment at Tokyo Bust Express because the results really show in just 1 treatment I swear!


So…. When I first reached Tokyo Bust Express at City Square Mall located at B2, I was served a cup of floral tea which smells really good!


And customers who steps in will also change into a pair of comfy pink slippers to make the visit so much more comfortable! I was wearing heels that day, so glad I could change out of it though I don’t really need to walk much~ hehe~
  


The first step before doing the treatments was to do a detailed consultation. Tokyo Bust Express emphasizes that each and every individual requires different treatments. Eileen was my consultant for the day, she explained the A-Z about the anatomy of our bust, what ingredients are in their gels and creams that they use etc..

Their products contain natural ingredients that are rich in Phyto-Estrogen (natural plant estrogen), an active plant cell that helps reduce menopausal symptoms, increase your breast health and has anti-cancerous properties. But of course, not forgetting that it also helps make our BIGGER, FIRMER AND SHAPELIER by giving our breasts nutrients!

Chart of different shapes of Breasts

After the personalized bust analysis, it has been concluded that I have a saggy breast that were going outwards which was not normal at all for a girl of my age. =( But on a happier note, Eileen said my mammary glands was of a good size and amount and that my bust has potential of growing! *happy*

So what are mammary glands you might ask? Here’s a simple picture to show the anatomy of our breasts!


Basically, our bust size and shape are based on 3 main parts: Mammary Glands, Fatty Tissues and Collagen.

Fats: I’m sure many of you girls out there like me, have a misconception that the more fats we have, the bigger our bust is. Well, it is partially true.. Fats take up only 20% of the reason why our bust size shrinks when you lose weight.

Mammary Glands: These glands is the main portion that affects our bust size, even if you lose weight your mammary glands remains the same size as at when your puberty stops. Pregnant women or new mothers tend to have bigger bust because these mammary glands grows to produce milk to breastfeed.
Tokyo Bust Express treatments aim to further stimulate and develop the mammary glands so that even if you lose weight in future, your bust wouldn't shrink! 

Collagen: Collagen in our bust holds the shape of our bust.

Eileen explained to me that at Tokyo Bust Express, they make use of massages and machines along with products with natural ingredients to help achieve what their customers need. These massages and machines not only enhance our breasts aesthetically, but it also helps with preventing breast cancers, clearing of lymphatic blockage etc.

 ====================

Now! On to the treatments!! Excited!


I was led to the treatment room which was dimly lit for comfort and a wall with simple designs of flowers!


Eileen started off by a shoulder massage to relax my body before doing a Firming Scrub that will help the products that will be used later on to penetrate better!

After the relaxing scrub, the main part….. The Bust-up Massage Therapy using their special formulated Bust Phyto Essence!!

Eileen told me beforehand that I might feel a little sore during the massage but it was very normal if my lymph nodes were blocked. I did feel the soreness initially but soon after, I just fell into a deep slumber.

***

Next up was the Bust Suction Therapy, again using an exclusive formulated Bust Toning Essence!

This therapy feels soooo comfortable, I fell back to sleep again for about 20 minutes the moment Eileen stepped out of the room. HAHA!
The cups of this suction machine acts like an exercising machine for your bust! It sucks and releases repeatedly just like how you will tone your muscles!

And now……….. The most important part…………
 .
.
.
.
.

RESULTS!!!!

I was very very shocked when I saw the results! I mean I did see a little difference when looking at the mirror but Eileen told me that the measurement on the paper will show the most accurate results of how much my bust was lifted. IN 1 SESSION!



 I felt the difference just by wearing my bra! And it still does even after a week!
I tend to slouch a lot but ever since the day I went to have my treatment, I’ve been standing up straighter then normal.. So it’s really true! That with firmer and perkier bust a woman feels more confident! HEHEHE~

But of course, all these natural ingredients in the products, massaging and machine are not a miracle remedy to my bust problems. Each session of treatment will last for about a week; and if you want quicker and better results you should do the treatment every 3-4 days and not more then a week.

I really can’t wait to go back again!!


Thank you once again Tokyo Bust Express! I’ll see you soon!!

[Review] On my way to better skin and health with Elusyf

$
0

Hello eberybardy!

Finally back with another post! I was having problems with blogger on my office PC and I just found it soooo troublesome to have it drafted on Microsoft Words, C&P it back on blogger when I get home and rearrange the layout again... BAHHH...

So anyway, today's review on the Elusyf Cell Activa SP800 is NOT sponsored at all.
I paid them all with my own money~


The reason why I ended up getting them was purely because of my health issues and skin issues I was concerned about like my occasional HUGE pimple breakouts, fine lines under my eyes and smile line which was REALLY getting on my nerves.

Ever since the age of 13 until now, I've had to consume tons of medication as I was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism and Epilepsy which has already been controlled but I have to constantly take medication.
My family doctor told me by taking all sorts of multi-vitamins, it would help me with my condition and hopefully one day I could just stop taking all the medications.

The skin issues I was most concerned about came with age I guess. The fine lines and all just got on my nerves these couple of years whenever I put on makeup, they just sink into the lines and makes it look horrible. 



I was introduced to Elusyf by a close friend cum ex-colleague of mine who has personally experienced how good Elusyf is. I saw her before and after photos and also in real life, I was quite amazed at the difference TBH...

======
Let me explain to you briefly what Elusyf is...

Elusyf Cell Activa SP800 is a breakthrough formula encapsulating cell therapy into a convenient and effective oral supplement with the specific aim to help one slow down the aging 
process.



Main Active Ingredients:
Ovine Placenta Extract 
• Contains rich growth factors, hormones and antibodies, and other concentrated nutrients 
 that can rejuvenate the organic tissues 
• Promotes cell growth, regulates hormone secretion and strengthens the body’s immune system

• Supports gastrointestinal health with better blood sugar control

• Encourages skin renewal 
• Minimizes muscle contractions 
• Skin will be protected with its elasticity and improves skin plumpness

Avocado oil

• Improves the elasticity of capillary 
• Lowers the potentials for plaque formation and vessel blockage 
• Rich in Vitamin A and E which have strong antibacterial and anti-inflammatory functions 
 that promote faster healing of cuts and wounds 
• Prevents scarring, acne breakouts and dermatitis

Aloe Vera Gel Extract
• Naturally rich in Vitamin C, Amino Acid, Enzymes and Germanium
• Rejuvenates aged tissues and promotes healthy skin

• Protects the heart (cardioprotective)
• Possesses anti-diabetic effects and regulates the blood sugar level (hypoglycemic)
• Helps to prevent arthritis & osteoporosis
• Prevents glaucoma and cataracts
• Has a synergistic effect on the whole body

=

Elusyf  uses Ovine Placenta (Sheep's placenta) for 2 main reasons:
Firstly, sheep placenta pluripotent stem cells are identical to human placenta stem cells in their ability to produce any type of mammalian cell. In other words, there are no 
essential differences on a cellular level between the enzymatic and functional capabilities of human or animal cells which mean that the tissues functions essentially the same.

Secondly, the sheep live in a healthy environment in New Zealand and Australia where they have been certified free of all diseases. Therefore, these sheep can provide a 
healthier and more vital source of biological material.

========

Now you get why I'd spend the money on Elusyf? That's because I don't need to eat any other vitamins, almost every single vitamins are already in Elusyf. Even Evening Primrose Oil which is great for women~ I've stopped taking EPO quite some time back because I just have TOOOO MANY of pills to eat a day.

Ok, I'll be honest, although I was amazed at the results and testimonials I saw (some were singaporeans) I was quite hesitant as to whether it would REALLY work for me. But really!! The testimonials are really too awesome to believe!

See! Here are some testimonials from the Elusyf website and some locals and if you're not amazed you must be weird:








Look!! How can I not be convinced? Although I have no idea whether or not the pictures are photo-shopped or anything, I decided to give a leap of faith and try it out.

I bought 1 box that lasted me about a month to see if it would work or not...





1 box comes with 30 tablets and I take 1 every morning just after brushing my teeth. It is recommended though that for the first 3 months, 1 - 2 capsules should be consumed before meals and 
3 months onwards for maintenance, 1 capsule daily before meal. However I found that the results I got with taking 1 per day has already exceeded my expectation so I just carried on.

I finished the box after a month of eating it religiously every morning, and the first thing I noticed was the difference in my fine lines under my eyes! 


I swear... no photoshop on this at all.. 0_0 amazing righttt??

My pimples also kinda stopped popping out like usual!

But after finishing the first box, I didn't have time to collect my following months' supply before I went to Aussie... And.. my pimples popped out .... :(

Super excited to see more results after finishing my second box and with maintenance cos I bought another 3 more boxes!!


Wahahah!! This is the first time I'm spending so much on supplements but after calculating the price I pay every month for my different supplements, this is gonna be wayyy cheaper~

Here's a link to the PDF copy online if you wanna know more:

[Makeup 101] Tips to avoid foundation meltdown!

$
0
0
Hello Everyone!!

Short post today to share some tips on how to keep your makeup looking fresh for those who lives in countries with a humid weather!

Photo Credits: whatsupusana.com
If you are someone who applies makeup AND live in a country with a humid weather like me (I live in Singapore - SUMMER ALL YEAR LONG!) I'm sure you would have experienced the same problems as many others..... MAKEUP MELT DOWN due to oil secretion/ extreme sweat etc...

I was watching the 1st episode of 女人我最大, 新加坡版 (Ladies First, Singapore Version) on Starhub Channel 825 the a couple months back and I really learnt a lot from just 1 episode!
They were touching on how to keep your hair & makeup fresh in this sunny weather in Singapore~

But I shall just touch on the makeup portion for today~ Base makeup to be exact =P
Some of the tips are extracted from the program and some are from my own experience~

I shall dive right into the tips from hereon and some products I personally use myself.

#1   Give time - Moisturize + Protect!

It's always important to moisturize and protect your skin from the harmful UV rays before you even start your makeup process. This applies to anyone who lives anywhere! 
It's a misconception many people have that they shouldn't moisturize if they already have oily skin or tend to have oily skin as hours pass. Your skin secretes a lot more oil to moisturize and protect your face if there is not enough moisture to it. So.. always remember to moisturize your face before anything else!
Sunscreen, do I need to say much? It is sooo important to protect your skin against the harmful UV rays at all times!

 After applying all the essentials, give some time to your skin for products to absorb before going on to apply your make up! 

Moisturizer Recommendation: 
The True Cream - Aqua Bomb from Belif (Normal/ Combination/ Oily Skin Types)
Snail Street Cream (Normal/ Dry Skin Types)

Sun Screen Recommendations:
Clarins - UV Plus & BB Day Screen High Protection SPF 40 tinted version Biore - Aqua Rich UV Watery Essence SPF 50+ PA+++ 


#2   Prime to Prep!

Priming your face before makeup is a step that you don't want to skip if you want to avoid having foundation meltdowns. Primers will help your makeup last a whole lot longer!

Face Primer Recommendations:
Smash Box - Face Primers (Available in different types for different problems)


#3   Less is more!

I used to have makeup meltdowns in the past when I ALWAYS apply foundation to my whole face. It just gets patchy and ugly as hours pass. I've changed out my makeup routine by skipping foundation (unless I have a photo shoot or event) and using BB Cream instead just to even out my skin tone.
I focus more on using a concealer to cover up blemishes or spots that I have which works a lot better because I don't already have a thick layer of foundation before which might become cakey.

If you have quite a bit of acne to cover, I would suggest getting a green primer before applying the BB cream. It would make concealing a whole lot easier!

The tip here is to focus on concealing your flaws, not to conceal every single space on your face!

Also, try not to pile on too much powder at once; instead apply just enough to not let your foundation slip. You're bound to do touch ups halfway through the day and if you already have a pile of powder on, it's gonna get even cakier!

BB Cream Recommendations:
Cremolab - BB Cream (Sold only in Korea)

Spot Concealer Recommendations:
Amazing Cosmetics - Amazing Concealer (Pricey)
LA Girls - Pro HD Concealer(Cheap and good!)
NYX - Concealer stick in Pastel Green(for covering red acne spots - to be used with a normal concealer)


#4   Cool Body Temperature = Less Oil and Sweat Secretion

Yep! I learned this from the episode of 女人我最大! That if you have a high body temperature, you tend to perspire (obviously) and secrete more oil too! So if you can constantly keep your body at a nice cool temp, it'd be best!
But then again, me and you and all those who stays in humid countries, how can we keep cool?? It's summer all day long!!! Well, APPARENTLY... Beauty Geniuses thought of this and came up with a product to cool your body down while you're outside without A/C!


I haven't had the chance to try the product before but it's really cool!
Basically, it's a spray mist like any other facial mist but only difference, the liquid turns to frost after being sprayed out of the nozzle! 

Kevin  highly recommended this on 女人我最大 and taught the girls how it can be used to cool down your body temperature. Just 3 steps!! Take a small face towel, Spray the mist on the towel, and lay the towel on the nape of your neck till the towel is no longer cold.

That simple! However, if you can't get your hands on the product above, you can always soak the towel in ice cold water and do the same - the coldness doesn't last as long though.



#5   Sponge off the oil!

This was another tip I got off the episode of 女人我最大 which I find really good!
Most of us does either 1 of these:
- Blot off oil on the face with blotting paper before touching up
- Don't blot at all and touch up 0_o

Yes I know... I know of some friends around me who don't blot before they touch up, maybe it's just me but I have to blot before touching up. I used to use blotting paper until I watched 女人我最大 and mentioned about using makeup sponges to blot!

I tried, and never went back to blotting paper ever again. No hard and fast rules about this though but I personally find blotting my face with a sponge better because it takes of oil like a miracle and also it takes off excess foundation I have. Plus it can always be reused! Just keep it nicely in a small zip lock bag when you head out and when you done for the day you can just head home and wash it! 

Just remember to always blot your face before touching cos if you don't your next layer of powder will just slip and slide on top of all the oil!



========

That's all for tips on how to keep your makeup all day long if you live in a humid country like me!!

Hope this helps and if I have any new tips and tricks I'll be sure to post again!
If you have any tips, do feel free to comment cos I'd really want to know too!!

[Cheat] Part 1: Download free LINE Stickers from other countries!

$
0
0
Hello!!

So I posted a picture on my Instagram  posting the new LINE stickers that I just "pirated".. HAHA!
I think I was a pirate in my last life that I'm actually kinda good at these kind of stuff hahaha!!

Line is a free instant messaging app for smartphones and PCs with over 200 million users worldwide.
Line users can enhance their messaging experience with fun Line stickers. Every Tuesday, Line launches free Line stickers for various countries. Let’s learn how to download stickers from other countries.

Soo~ I got a couple requests on how I did.. There are many ways shown on the internet but I found one which was really easy to follow if you're not good at IT stuff.. Like me.. 

I found a guide from HERE if you all wanna know where I got the info from~ Need to credit him/her eh~

Basically in every country, LINE has a different set of free stickers you can download so what this method does is to use the VPN to "cheat" LINE into thinking you're in the region you chose.

So.. Let's get started!! OH btw, this method works for Apple users but I'm not too sure if Android users can do the same.. Since I'm an Apple user now... Hehe~

====================================================

STEP 1
Download LINE App from Apple Store. If you have already downloaded it, good.

====================================================

STEP 2
Bind your email account and link your Facebook account with Line. 
But DO NOT bind with a phone number so that Line won't be able to verify your location. 

If you have bound your LINE account previously with a phone number, simply delete the app and re-install again; this time only logging in with your Facebook or email account.


====================================================

STEP 3
This is the crucial part...
Connecting VPN in order to get stickers from other countries. The method I used to connect to VPN is pretty simple. 

Download "VPN One Click" from Apple Store on your IPhone.

====================================================

STEP 4
Open VPN Once Click app, and click on the first option which says "FREE".
Mine says active until 25-11-2013 cos I have clicked before.

This will be the only downside for VPN Once Click - there is a limited time you can have this app for free.
But I found another manual way of doing which I'll post in PART 2,  If not once the trial is up on VPN One Click then you cannot get new stickers every Tuesday hahaha! 

====================================================

STEP 5
Click on "INSTALL" when the new window pops up


====================================================

STEP 6
Click "INSTALL NOW" when window pops up to confirm installation of profile.


====================================================

STEP 6
Click "DONE" when installation of profile is completed.


====================================================

STEP 7
Now, it's time to set your VPN Settings!

Go to your Settings from your home page 

Select "VPN" - this option should automatically appear after Step 6.


====================================================

STEP 8
Scroll down the whole list of regions and select what you want.
In this case I have selected the Japan VPN to connect cos I realize Japan always has timely updates of stickers. hehe~You can try Hong Kong also, theirs are quite cute.


====================================================

STEP 9
Scroll back up and switch VPN status to On.


====================================================

STEP 10
Once status is connected, we can now launch the LINE app!


====================================================

STEP 11
Once LINE app is opened, select "MORE" from the bottom row and click on "STICKER SHOP"


====================================================

STEP 12
Click on "FREE"  and you would be able to see the free stickers that you can download from that country!


-----------------------------------------------------------------

And here are some stickers I managed to download on Monday!!





Some of the stickers has words which are in the countries' language but they they look awesomely cute so I just downloaded them hahaha!

Hope you LINE Addicts like me find this helpful!!

Will post PART 2 tomorrow on another manual but more permanent way to connect to VPN since VPN One Click is only available for a limited time only.


Baibai!!

[Cheat] Part 2: Download free LINE Stickers from other countries! [Permanent Method]

$
0
0
Hello!!

I'm back today again as promised to do Part 2 of how to download free LINE Stickers from other countries! 
You can read Part 1 HERE, it basically covers the easiest way of downloading the stickers but only downside would be that because VPN One Click is only free for a certain period of time, you won't be able to get the weekly new stickers from LINE forever~

So.. Part 2 here today will show you how you can get weekly new stickers from LINE forever! *At least for now* =D


All these info was taken and learnt from FlyVPN's blog... FlyVPN is the website I go to do this method.. By far the best!
If you want to refer to their post instead on how to do the permanent way of getting into other regions' VPN click HERE..

And again, this cheat is for Apple users~ hehe~ I'm proud to be an Apple user now!

So let's get started!


====================================================

STEP 1
Create an account at FlyVPN.com HERE

====================================================

STEP 2
Time to set up the VPN on your iOs!

Go to your "Settingsfrom your home page 

Then click "General"

====================================================

STEP 3
Click "VPN"

====================================================

STEP 3
Click "Add VPN Configuration"

====================================================

STEP 4
Select "PPTP" tab

====================================================

STEP 5
In step 5 here, you need to refer to a couple of links at FlyVPN, so I'll list them step by step with the links k~~ I'm getting confused too~ XD

Step 5a (Description): Enter "FlyVPN" under description

Step 5b (Server): Go to this link http://www.flyvpn.com/User/VpnServers to search for the region's server number. In this example above I used Korea's VPN.
Step 5c (Account): Go to the same link in Step 5c and see what account name it falls under (VPNU/ VPNC).

Step 5d (Password): Go to this link http://www.flyvpn.com/freetrial and look to the right on the page which mentions "Account", "Password" and "Online Users".

The VPNU account is usually packed with users because there are more countries covered under it and if it's at a 100% you won't be able to use it.

So, search for the account you are using, this example will be VPNU since I want to tap on Korea's VPN and insert the password shown into your Iphone/Ipad. 

See the green circle I highlighted? Be sure to click it once to reload first before you enter the password cos it changes every time.

Step 5e (Encryption level): This should be set on Auto

====================================================

STEP 6
Once done, click "SAVE"

====================================================

STEP 7
Set VPN Status to on and wait for it to be connected.


====================================================

STEP 8
Now launch your LINE app and select "MORE" from the bottom row and click on "STICKER SHOP"


====================================================

STEP 9
Now click on "FREE"  and you should be able to see the free stickers that you can download from that country! In this case, Korea's free stickers!


-----------------------------------------------------------------
 Yep! And that's how you can download free LINE stickers every week!

Woohooo!!

Do feel free to drop me an email or comment here if you managed to do it or if you're having problems~ I'll try my best to help!!

Hehehe~~ See you in my next post!!

Baibai!!

[Blogshop Reco] Dressyloft - Korean Casual to Formal Wear

$

Sponsored

Hello Everyone! Long time no see~~~ I think? 

Anyway, today I'm gonna be showing you some outfits from Dressy Loft!


Here's one of the 1st dress that caught my eye!

-----------------------------------------------

Denim Zipper Dress

Price: S$29.00 

Description

Featuring faux leather sleeve, faux leather collar, faux leather side pockets and center front zipper. Made of quality denim material and faux leather. Belt included.

My Thoughts
I really like this dress's details, the faux leather on the collar, sleeves and especially the pockets!
Plus the quality of this one piece is really good~ Very solid and sturdy material~ Unlike some apparels which can feel like as if it will tear anytime I move a bit.
The belt's weave is made of a satin like material and when paired together with this dress, gives a very edgy feel and also it helps accentuate my waistline!




-----------------------------------------------

Sweet Crochet Collar Dress in Sky Blue

Price: S$29.00 

Description

This sweet girly piece features round neckline, chiffon long sleeve, chiffon collar with crochet insert, non-sheer. Made of cotton and polyester mix.
Available colors: Pink, Sky Blue & Navy
My Thoughts
A very sweet and Korean Styled dress! Feels super comfy and soft~
Love the crochet details on the collar!
Although not really my kinda style but it is great for dates with your boyfriend! I think guys loves having that sweet lil girl by his side to protect~ XD
And because I have a bigger hip, the round skirt helps hide that fact.




-----------------------------------------------

Lacey Peter Pan Dress

Price: S$29.00 

Description

This classic lace piece is designed with a peter pan collar detail and matching black cuffs. Featuring a 3/4 sleeve round neck dress with lace overlay and see-through lace sleeves. Comes with an inner stretch lining. Made of lace, polyester mix collar and cuffs.

My Thoughts
A classic lace piece that I simply adore~! I love classic looking dresses~ hehe~
It might be a tad short for taller girls though >.< I'm standing at 1.7m and this dress was kinda short, but it should be fine as long as you make sure not to raise your arms too high XD
The lace is of really good quality and has really cute patterns to it!



-----------------------------------------------


Sleek Peter Pan Collar Dress

Price: S$29.00 


Description
This sleek piece is designed with a skater shaped skirt. Featuring peter pan collar detail, short chiffon sleeve with slit design in between sleeve with a keyhole one button closure at the back. Made of quality cotton, polyester mix and chiffon sleeve. Belt is model's own.

My Thoughts
Once again, another sweet looking Korean Styled one piece! As compared to the Sweet Crochet Collar Dress, this one piece I find is suitable to be worn to the office since the length of this skirt is much longer.
The sleeves with a slit design makes the overall look a tad more matured in my opinion.
I would recommend wearing a thin belt just to make sure you don't lose your waist in this pretty piece!




My overall thoughts about the dresses and service of Dressy Loft:
- Dresses are of very very good quality
- Pretty designs and constant update of new pieces on the website
- Very friendly owner!
- Blogshop offers a variation of designs - cool & sweet 

 Dressy Loft offers lotsa other styles such as:




And if you sign up now, you get to enjoy 10% off storewide!
(Only for limited time only)


They also have this reward point system whereby you can accumulate points and exchange them for apparels~ Refer a friend to receive points!


Go shop now while the discount it still on!! 
I hope you enjoy shopping there as much as I do!

Hi Hi! It's me, Golly-Locks here!!

Short post today to show y'all my not so new nails!


Yep, this time I went for something more contrasting!
Pastel colors with Black!

These are gel nails btw and it was done by a professional nailist from Shining Nails!

I didn't really have any idea what I wanted to do when I reached there, so I flipped the magazines that were there and kinda combined a few patterns together to make it look like a set!

Here's an up close of each individual finger!


I really liked this set of nails! Though Le BF said the middle finger's pattern reminds him of paddle pop (ice cream) -_-
Yea it does kinda.. But I still like it!! =P


I can't wait to outgrow this set of nails and do another new one again!!

Hello~~~~ It's me again!!
Gonna blog about my princess treatment I received at Vellus Hair Studio!!

Vain picture of me first to show off my new hair color~~hehe


When I  got approached by the super friendly lady boss Josie to go down for a hair session, I was really excited because I read about their concept of the salon online (you'll know why in a while)!

Plus it was super near my office which makes it a plus point! I went down right after work to do my hair~
Now you'll know which area I work at  (not like as if you care right =P)
Nyahahha!

Back to the topic... This is what you'll see when you first step in~ A warm cosy waiting area~ 
Everything looks super vintage and cosy~ me like~~~


Magazines to entertain you while waiting, most likely only for those who accompany their partners or friends cos I don't see why you will need to wait since you MUST book an appointment beforehand (you'll know why again later =P)


Before I started my session, I was brought into the consultation room for consultation with Josie.

I really think that this consultation room is such a detailed thought  that both the bosses of Vellus have came up with, you can feel free to express your hair troubles to your stylist without the worries of other knowing whether or not you have dandruff/ oily, icky hair etc..

It is always important to let your stylist know beforehand what has been done to your hair before to avoid any damages.~


During the consultation, Josie tested my scalp to see the condition of it.
And.... this came out on the TV screen...


Beware....Disgusting picture (which I have made smaller to lessen the disgusting factor) ahead...

OMG!!! I wash my hair everyday but this is what was shown!!0_o
Plus I washed it in the morning before I went down mind you...


After the detailed consultation on what color I should dye my hair and what treatment I should be getting.. Josie brought me to the ROOM that I am supposed to be in to receive my hair treatments and dye!

Yes.. ROOM... All for myself!!!
Now you know why I call this the Princess Treatment?!


You'll probably have to spend at least SGD$800 maybe at some high class salon in orchard to have a room to yourself! But here, you will DEFINITELY have a room to yourself no matter what hair service you choose, and not to mention the prices are really reasonable like many other normal salons where you have to sit with other people.
 I've calculated all the services (Scalp Treatment, Hair dye, Hair Treatment) I did that day and it is less then SGD$200 after the 50% discount!!

Awesome or what?

There's also a reclining chair with leg rest that you can adjust to make yourself comfortable during your hair treatments / dye that can take hours~ I was so glad for this... 


On top of all the awesome stuff above, they will also burn some Vellus in-house essential oils that were specially mixed! You can't find this smell anywhere else~~


I am almost about to go into lalaland already while typing this~~~

Anyway.. Josie then started on the first step to dye my hair!

Here's a picture of my orangey, brassy, uneven colored hair before!


And my grass hair~ =0


And another picture of me.. Die die also must take a vain pic.. Even with ugly and unkempt hair.
HAHAHAHA!


After my dye was ready to be washed off, I was led to the wash area~
Gold chair for the glamorous yo!!

Everything was so comfy, including the wash area~ I was sleeping almost the whole time as long as I wasn't standing XD


See how I have melted in my reclining chair? XD 
This was after Josie applied Vellus's in-house scalp treatment for me~

And I fell right back to sleep again~


Although it was a good 4 hours I sat there to do my hair dye, moisturizing hair treatment and scalp treatment, I didn't feel like my back was gonna break or anything cos I could sleep like no one's business and even if I snored no one will know hahaha!

This is the reason why  I told you I was super excited.
The private room concept! Love love love it!
And because of this you HAVE TO make an appointment beforehand cos they only have limited rooms~

Vellus also uses some awesome brands of hair products you can buy there~
All these brands are imported straight from Japan and have even appeared in some of the most famous hair magazines!





All the designs are super nice right?! Not only packaging is awesome, Josie used this Moe Moe Repair Aid serum Molto Bene on my hair which is all organic! It smells awesome btw~
My hair felt so loved~


Josie even went a step further to curl my hair even though I wasn't going anywhere later on just cos she knows I dislike flat hair~ I love their service!



And remember the disgusting picture of my scalp just now? (please do not scroll back again)

Here's a view of my scalp after doing the Vellus scalp treatment!
So clean now!
But of course, not all the problems will be cleared in one session, but even with just one treatment, I can see some results already! Josie had told me from the start she was very confident that their in-house scalp treatment would show results after one time of treatment if not she wouldn't even dare show me how my scalp looks before and after. 


And here's a comparison photo of my hair before and after~
Love the ashy color! I didn't bleach my hair btw~


I'm very sure you'll get the same service as me because.. Which boss will want to ruin their own reputation? TELL ME?

And..... VELLUS IS HAVING AN OPEN HOUSE SPECIAL!!
50% OFF ON ANY HAIR SERVICES 
FOR YOUR FIRST VISIT!

I was told that they were implementing this credit system where you put cash credit with them and you have have 50% off on all the services until your credit is used up! 
I was super tempted to get this cos my mommy can use their services too!


And on top of that, if you quote "Golly-Locks", you'll receive a free bottle of the awesome smelling essential oil I told you about worth SGD$29.90!

I realize I missed a "Q" in front of quote -_-

[Makeup Review] Maybelline Lasting Drama Pen Gel Liner

$
0

Hi Everyone!!

It's Makeup Review time again!!

Today's star~~~or not? Is the new Maybelline Lasting Drama Pen Gel Liner~


I'm an avid fan of using gel liners cos it's really versatile. 
In general, I'd definitely still prefer Kate's Gel Liner as compared to Maybelline's. 
I did a short short post on my favourite gel liners 2 years back HERE and Kate topped the list and it still didn't change, Maybelline was in second.

But anyhoo~ I am a self proclaimed makeup junkie, and when I saw this new product on the shelf I just had to get it even though I know that most probably the contents are of the same standard as the pot ones. XD



The only difference between the Maybelline Drama Pen Gel Liner is that... it is contained in a pen.
Nothing else.

Ok, let's see what is good about this product first~

It is a real innovative idea to have this pen gel thingy, I applaud~
I usually have to bring out my makeup pouch out and having a gel liner in a pen just makes everything much more convenient.

Well... That's quite about it..

Now the cons...

I'm not sure if the stopper in red shown in the above picture was meant to be only a stopper for once or what, but I'm quite anal about keeping my gel liner moist, even with the screw cap I feel like it's gonna dry the liner out. I tried placing the stopper back but it became a hot mess.



The pen comes with a clicker to dispense the gel out from the silicone tip which can sometimes dispense TOO MUCH and I will be wasting a lot in the end cos I will have to wipe the excess off after use. With the traditional gel in a pot, I can gauge how much I need and there will be no wastage at all.


Now on to the application...

Is it waterproof? Kinda...
Is it smudge proof? Definitely not... 
I compared using my Kate liner on 1 eye and the Maybelline on the other, the Maybelline one just smudges like crazy. 
I guess when most people have experienced using something awesome, anything else that fares just a tad lower will not make the mark anymore.

The silicone tip also is another con..
Because of the hole that dispenses the gel, when applying it on the eyes, or if you can see from the above picture applied on my hand, it leaves empty spaces un-applied and I'll have to go through it with a second layer to fill up.
The application is just too uneven for my liking.

Conclusion: (Max 5 ♥)
(Maybelline Lasting Drama Pen Gel Liner )

Availability: ♥♥♥♥♥
Available in most Guardians/ Watsons.

Price: ♥♥
I can't remember the exact price but it was definitely at least about SGD$ 19.90.
Giving it 2 stars cos I didn't find worth the price comparing with the quality of it.

Will I repurchase this again?
Most likely not.. It might be acceptable to some people with the minimal smudging thoughout the day, but if I can have a choice of a non smudging gel liner, why would I want to compromise and risk being a panda?




I'll see you in my next post soon!!
Love y'all!!
