Weeks ago, I started using the new & improved Biore Skin Caring Cleansers that were launched earlier this month by Kao Singapore.

Among the 4 different types of facial foam, I chose the Extra Moist. Why do I choose Extra Moist for my combination skin? Later you'll find out. ^_^

Here are the 2 products that I received:

- Biore Facial Foam SCRUB

- Biore Facial Foam EXTRA MOIST

Biore Skin Caring Cleanser Series

What causes skin problems?

Inefficient cleansing
Remnant dirt and chemical traces (UV, makeup etc) left on skin
Harsh cleansing agents- Harsh surfactant that penetrates the skin and affects the skin balance

Once these factors interrupted the skin’s 28 days natural renewal process...
It will cause Dryness, Clogged pores & Pimples

What is so special about the new Biore Facial Foam?

Skin improvement in 14 days of continuous usage

2. Less clogged pores and reduction in sebum

3. Lighten marks and blemishes after 4 wks of usage

Biore Skin Caring Cleanser Facial Foam
All information and ingredients are printed in English & pasted at the back of their products.

Swatches
When I flip open the caps, I can smell floral fragrance in both products.

Left: Facial Foam SCRUB. Right: Facial Foam EXTRA MOIST

When I spread them out, it felt like spreading a creamy marshmallow-like paste.

Biore Facial Foam Scrub Review
This is the amount I use for the scrub. I had used double the amount of this once but I find that the foam is too much, much more than I can feel the scrub beads, With this little amount, I can then feel the beads doing their scrubbing thing on my skin. ^_^

- I use this after using the facial foam
- foams up easily when lather on wet hands
- feels like facial foam with little and ultra fine scrub beads

- when scrubbing, it feels very soft and gentle on face and almost can't feel there is any scrub beads at all
- doesn't sting my eyes
- skin feels clean and soft after cleansing off
- after drying the face, skin feels tiny bit tight at the jaw and area around eyes
- I use this every 2-3 days and skin doesn't feel over-scrubbed

- the skin feels slightly dry if I use this daily
- doesn't irritate my skin
- it is good purifying scrub (oil control)
- it doesn't remove much dead skin cells as my face doesn't brighten up

Biore Facial Foam Extra Moist Review
Even though I have combination skin (oily at T-zone), I still prefer to use slightly more moisturising facial foams nowadays. I feel that by doing so helps in maintaining the oil secretion at my T-zone areas. They don't produce as much sebum when they are hydrated. Also, my jawline, cheeks and eyes area feels tight & dry after face wash, so an extra moist facial foam will make my skin feel less tight after every wash.
For facial foams, I like to use a lot more amount (see below pic) as I will remove my makeup almost every night. I use this much to cleanse off all the dirt and left over oil-cleanser on my face.
I will use ½ to 1/3 of this amount for morning face wash.

- foams up easily when lather with water
- foam feels thick, creamy and soft
- soft and gentle on face
- doesn't sting my eyes
- cleanses off dirt and makeup remover/oil cleansers thoroughly from face
- after drying face, area around eyes feels tiny bit dry
- doesn't irritate my skin
- skin feels smooth, soft and less dry

Overall review
There are still a few white heads found growing on my face but they are gone after a day or two. There wasn't other skin problems found when using the products except for 1 inflammation on the cheek. The facial foam cleanses pretty well leaving skin feels pretty squeaky clean.
I usually exfoliate my face on a weekly basis or sometimes once every 4-5 days and its done after face wash. With the gentle Biore Scrub I can do it every 2-3 days, also done after using the facial foam.
As the Biore Scrub is quite foamy, I feel like I am washing my face twice with facial foam. It makes my skin feels pretty dry if I keep doing it. Subsequently, I change to using the scrub every 4-5 days like I used to.
In compare to Biore's facial foam that I used many years ago (I couldn't remember how long ago.. lolx~), this skin caring facial foam series is a lot better as I could clearly remember that I used to dislike the eyes stinging facial foam and the overly dry and tight feeling it gave me.

Awhile ago, I received Bio-essence BIO SPRING WATER and had tried it out from time to time for the last 1 week. In this post, I'm going to review this Miracle Bio Water so.... read on! ^_^

About Bio-essence Bio Spring Water

Miracle Bio Water

20 EXCELLENT EFFICACIESIdeal for sensitive skin
20 Marvelous Results for Hair, Face & Body
Uniquely low in mineral content yet rich in trace minerals to ensure 2X cooling, soothing, softening, moisturizing and anti-irritating effects.

SINGAPORE, September, 2012 - Ideal for all skin types, Bio-essence Bio-Spring Water is the coolest spring water that yields the best soothing, anti-irritation and calming effects on skin. Adapting unique Bio-technology to combine Spring Water and Bio-Energy Fluid, Bio-Spring Water contains trace mineral to create energy to stimulate blood and oxygen circulation.

High Trace Minerals for Healthy Skin
Skin cells suffer from fatigue and skin dullness from environmental aggressions and mineral deficiencies. Trace minerals are essential minerals required by human health. It accelerates skin healing process and gives the skin sufficient hydration to improve on skin roughness.
Bio-essence Bio-spring Water contains high trace minerals which are the perfect, natural treatment to obtain optimum skin care health.
While minerals are vital in modern skin care, higher mineral content releases more energy and heat which will be drying to the skin.

Unique Points with multi-efficacies for face, body and hair
Having unique composition, Bio-Spring water is specially low in mineral content and sodium chloride content yet rich in trace minerals, ensuring 2X effect for cooling and soothing sensitive and irritated skin.

Low in mineral content creates lesser energy and heat which is ideal for cooling and soothing sensitive and irritable skin. Low in Sodium Chloride of 2.432mg/l absorbs least skin moisture, ensures the best moisturizing effects. High Sodium Chloride content dehydrates skin as it absorbs moisture from the skin. Optimal pH value of 6.45 is closest to skin's natural pH value, is mild and non-irritating.

Bio-essence Bio-Spring Water fits both genders and works for all age groups, not just for the face but also for the body and hair.

Directions of use:
Hold the bottle at a distance not less than 20 cm from targeted area and spray onto face/ skin/ hair and pat it dry gently. (Do not need to pat dry after makeup)

Bio-essence Bio Spring Water Brochure & 20 Efficacies

The brochure is available in both Chinese and English. It is included with the Bio Water when purchased.

The brochure indicates the 20 Efficacies. (Click the below pics to enlarge)

Bio-essence Bio Spring Water

The ingredient for Bio-essence Bio Spring Water is just Aqua (Bio Spring Water) and Nitrogen. The Aqua is a secret ingredient? ^,^

This Bio Spring Water that I am holding is a 100ml, its height is about the length of my hand. (I have long fingers. lolx~)

The cap secures well.

The below picture shows the biggest size which is the 300ml.

Bio-essence Bio Spring Water Swatch& Review

The below animated image shows the spray angle of the Bio Spring Water mist. The mist that comes out is pretty forceful & concentrated as it has about less than 45 degrees spray angle. Other spray mists which are not so concentrated will have a bigger spray angle so it can reach wider areas within a pump.

I took a picture of the mist however it came out blur so I PS it and make it into a gif file. Only this way I can clearly see the mist coming out from the nozzle.
No mist pic (normal image) → Mist pic (black image)*warning: don't look at this image for too long...*

I kind get dizzy after looking at this animated pic for more than 10 times... (("@∆@"))

When I spray it at 1 area without moving around, the mist become huge water droplets. The spray pressure is pretty strong, I can feel the cool air blowing against my skin along with the Aqua mist.

Note: I sprayed only onright half of the back of my hand

With Bio Spring Water (left) → After patting it onto skin (center) → Absorbed into skin (right)

My hand feels instantly soft, soothing and quenched. Just like how we feel when we satisfy our thirst.

The after pic shows the skin surface is matte.

I also used Bio Spring Water on my hair ends recently as they are very dry from all the bleaching and dyeing. When I just woke up or dried after shower, my hair is usually wavy, curly at some parts, dry, crispy & rough. And I often need to use hair serum, hair mist, hair lotion and what not to combat these problems and also hair styling products to make it not wavy/curly so I won't look like I have a bad hair day.

Now with Bio Spring Water I feel that I have alternative hair taming product to use!

Here you can spot the rather big differences of the hair texture around the middle to the bottom part.

Even after hours, my hair still feels soft, smooth and silky. I don't feel the roughness & frizziness which I usually feel when I run through my hair.

I kinda stop using hair serums or lotions which actually should help in moisturising the hair however these make my hair feel greasy all over after hours of wearing it. Reason because my scalp is oily type, hence the hair from roots to ears area already have a good moisturiser - the sebum from my scalp.

Serums & lotions tend to over-moisturise my hair (even though I only apply very little on the hair ends) and somehow (I duno how..) it can crawl its way up to the roots area which makes my scalp even more oilier and then scalp starts to itch.

But now, the hair with Bio Spring Water stay tamed, moisturised and luxurious without feeling any greasiness or itchiness.

But of cos some people might ask, what's the difference between using Bio Spring Water and tap water?

Well, i know there are people who like to wash hands and at same time touches hair with damp hands to style it (I do that too at times), but the consequences of using normal water on dry hair is DRIER HAIR.

Because water evaporates. And when water evaporates from the skin surface or hair, it will strip moisture out of them, the water bringing moisture along with it and disappear into thin air . That is why we need to splat on moisturiser right after we bathe to stop them from feeling dry. Make sense?

And what Aqua did is to moisture (though it do look like normal water, but its has moisturising & hydrating components in the ingredient) and even when the excess Aqua evaporates, the moisturising component that touches the surface have started hydrating it.

Bio-essence Bio Spring Water on my face & body:

- the concentrated spray makes it easy to target small areas

- feels cooling & soothing

- skin surface temperature immediately decline (by feeling it with my hands)

- very suitable to be used during hot weathers to keep skin temperature cool at all times (I could use alot of Aqua mist when I feel very warm)

- skin feels instantly firm and a little bit tight

- instead of having a glossy after-effect, skin looks slightly matte (controls oil)

- hydrates dry skin instantly

- doesn't irritate my skin

- freshens up my skin after makeup

- great to use to moisturise and relieves dryness of skin right after bath

- relieves itchiness when I used it on mosquito bites

- can be use as toner to prep the face before applying serum

- effects wear off after a period, however it is fine to spray on again at any time

- convenient (25ml & 100ml is perfect size to bring around with)

Bio-essence Bio Spring Water on my hair:

(aside from what I had mentioned earlier, I also feel...)

- scalp and roots area don't feel greasy

- hair feels cool and kind of damp upon touch (even after it's dried)

- hair ends looks silky and tamed

- hair looks limp at the area I sprayed

- advisable to spray just a little onto hair to avoid having the 'wet look' as I still love my fluffy hair look.. (lolx~)

Last month, I was invited to Equinox, Swissotel to view the new lip launch as well as an exclusive preview to the upcoming Les Ombres Eyeshadow, Curl Impact Collagene Extreme Resist Mascara and Lucent Magique Two-Way Powder Foundation launch by Loreal Paris.

Here I present the NEWLoreal Paris Shine Carasse lip color.

Loreal Paris Shine Caresse Event

There's also an express makeover booth for us try on the new products and Shine Carasse on our lips!

The 3 makeup that are to be launched! Shine Carasse (lip color), Color Riche (Eyeshadows), Lucent Magique (foundation).

16th Jan 2013 - With the dawn of a new year, L’Oréal Paris Cosmetics is glad to celebrate a new generation of shine on your lips with Shine Caresse. Key magazine and newspaper editors, retailers, beauty bloggers, makeup artists and local celebrities joined us on the 14th Jan at Equinox, Swissotel in exploring this new lip launch as well as an exclusive preview to the upcoming Les Ombres Eyeshadow, Curl Impact Collagene Extreme Resist Mascara and Lucent Magique Two-Way Powder Foundation launch.

L’Oréal Paris presented the Shine Caresse show, artfully produced by Jerome Wasthi and makeup looks created by Larry Yeo. Emcee Lavinia Tan gave the audience a walkthrough of the inspiration behind each of the 8 shades as well as introducing our new ambassador, international model Barbara Palvin.

To represent the spirit of Shine Caresse: youthful, fun, girly, sensuous and audacious, the brand showcased three different scenes: the Shine Caresse girl in the tub, on a Harley bike and as a rock star, each wearing a different shade of Shine Caresse. It’s not a lipstick, not a lip gloss nor is it a lip stain- it’s all in 1 because it has the color intensity of a lipstick, the shine of a gloss and the long lastingness of a lip stain. Shine Caresse is a new generation of lip colour, and with 8 baby-doll shades, every girl is sure to find one for themselves.

After the event, we had a little souvenir to keep as a memory~
Pictures of Sarah, +Chantana Tan & Mi!

Pictures of all the bloggers at the event~

L’Oréal Paris presents Shine Caresse

A new-generation color for brilliantly shiny lips.

For every young woman who’s dreamed of wearing sensual colors combined with a light, modern shine for naturally beautiful lips.

Shine Caresse, a one-step, easy-to-apply fluid texture for an infusion of color with a shiny wet-look effect. The secret: high-concentration moisture in a palette of 8 bright, vibrant, candy-colored shades.

Shine Caresse, the new innovation from Caresse.

(click to enlarge image)

Shine Carasse
Shine Carasse lip color is also a lip stain, it comes in 8 shades.
600 Venus, 603 Milady, 604 Bella, 605 Eve, 606 Lolita, 702 Juliette, 801 Princess, 900 Pretty Woman

Shine Carasse Packaging & Ingredients
All Shine Carasse ingredients are the same. On the box also shows the manufacturing date.

The content is viewable through the Shine Carasse transparent tube only near the oulet area. So you know how much of Shine Carasse you have left by peeking through the transparent casing.
The applicator has a tiny through hole in the middle, sometimes quite abit of lip color is trapped inside the hole (that is why the hole is not visible in the below pic).

Luxurious gold casing~ Shades names are labelled at the top of the tube.

Shine Carasse Swatches
Due to hole in the applicator that traps excess content, I spent a long time building layers of lip color for this swatch. With the applicator, I could not apply a 2nd layer without erasing the 1st one. It was such a headache to intensify the lip colors on my arm. (⌐_⌐")

Close-up. The 702 & 801 doesn't look like they have any shimmers in it at all. Totally not viewable in both flash & without flash pics.

After blending them out with the applicator... Sorry it look messy as the lip colors turned sticky after awhile.

Shine Carasse Stains
They stain on my arm after leaving them on for more than 5 mins.
Although 702 Juliette & 801 Princess look like red & similar in real life but when look closely, they differ. 702 looks like bright orange-red (instead of the reddish-red) and 801 looks bright orange with a hint of yellow.
Shine Carasse can be used as a lip stain/ base, alone as a lip color or, over the lipstick color to add shine to it and make it last longer.

Loreal Paris is generous in giving their products! I also received their 6 new eyeshadow palettes - Color Riche Less Ombres and Curl Impact Collagene Extreme Resist Mascara!

More swatches & reviews coming up!~

Early this year, MAKE UP FOR EVER launched the new TechniColor Palette for Spring 2013 in Singapore.

Last month I attended the exclusive Make Up For Ever (MUFE) event to know more about the new eyeshadow palette. It was held at the MUFE Academy.

Spring is all about Aquamarine shades this year. Besides the new Yellow formula, MUFE also included the greens & blues in this palette for us to play with!

Makeup Demostration

An eye makeup demo was done on a model. Her face and lips were already done except for her eyes as the MUA wanted to show us how to do the Technicolor look. Before she start, she had applied Yellow eyeshadow from the Technicolor palette all over her eyelids and lined the eyes with Aqua Eyes eyeliner in Turquoise (lash line) & Yellow (water line).

I managed to took pics & put up a step-by-step eyeshadow application done by the MUA for this Technicolor look. I had labelled the sequence with numbers at every bottom corner of the images.

(For Technicolor step-by-step illustrations, scroll further down to view.)

How TechniColor comes about

TECNICOLOR COLLECTION
HYPER-PIGMENTED SHADES
The palette is this Spring’s must-have accessory, offering 8 bright, pumped-up shades of eyeshadow in a variety of matte, satiny, and iridescent textures. 5 basic shades, the mainstay of the timeless MAKE UP FOR EVER collection, ensure that there is something for everyone: Lilac, Black, Matte White, Espresso, and Iridescent Yellow Beige.

These are complemented by 3 radiant shades that concentrate all the vitality of Spring: Turquoise, Apple Green, and a limited edition of this Spring’s flagship color, Yellow, reminiscent of the buttercups that bloom at this time of year. This is a primary, hyper-pigmented, glowing Yellow whose joyful vitality will galvanise any look with its radiance.

THE COLOUR PALETTE
This color is truly for a bold woman who is proud to show off the sunny side of her femininity with a dynamic, radiant Yellow, her graphic eyes sparking bolts of Cyan Blue and Apple Green. There is no escape; her extravagant beauty electrifies with a single glance.

GET THE LOOK

LIFT CONCEALER
The Lift Concealer naturally hides dark circles and minor complexion alterations. Its tensine-based formula improves the skin tone and smoothes the lines around the eyes. To get better results and visibly reduce dark circles, apply the Lift Concealer before and after the foundation.

EYE PRIME
Eye Prime is the ideal eyelid primer for long-lasting eye make up. As well as maximizing eyeshadow color, it reinforces its wear all through the day. You will no longer need to touch up your eye make up half way through the day. Enriched with waxes and mineral powders, Eye Prime creates a protective base on the eyelid allowing the eye make up to last longer with a no crease, no fade result. Its natural color works for every skin tone and eyeshadow shade. It's easy to apply thanks to its anti drying property and its light texture blends naturally into the skin minimizing all blemishes you would like to fade.

TECHNICOLOR PALETTE
The palette offers 8 bright shades of eyeshadow in a variety of matte, satiny, and iridescent textures. 5 basic shades, the mainstay of the timeless MAKE UP FOR EVER collection, ensure that there is something for everyone: Lilac, Black, Matte White, Espresso, and Iridescent Yellow Beige. These are complemented by 3 radiant shades that concentrate all the vitality of Spring: Turquoise, Apple Green, and a limited edition of this Spring’s flagship color, Yellow. This is a primary, hyper-pigmented, glowing yellow.

AQUA EYES
Formulated to glide on effortlessly and withstand the most extreme conditions, it stays put on eyelids without melting for precise application and intense color throughout the day.

AQUA SMOKY LASH
A waterproof mascara filled with extra-black pigments for intense smoky eyes until dawn. Volumizing, lengthening and curling, it offers a spectacular finish while remaining water resistant.

SENS EYES
Waterproof Sensitive Eye Cleanser
SENS'EYES is a mineral oil-free gel that removes make up from eyes and lips and is extremely effective and incredibly gentle. It doesn't leave the eyelids feeling greasy. It instantly removes impurities, even waterproof make up on the most sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers.

In the month of January, TheFaceShop launched a new skincare line called the CHIASEED. For that, they sent me a press kit to feature it on my blog. The press kit is cute! Scroll down further to view it yourself! ^_^

The parcel I received is in TheFaceShop (TFS) paper bag. See my name there? lolx~ And the press kit comes in a huge box.

ChiaSeed Press Kit

The box says, "Do you want moisture? Open this box."

And I was thinking, "d'hell, of cos I do!!!" *opens box*

And then I saw this... 500ml? 50ml? x10? Basically its saying that Chia Seed can absorb 10 times its weight in water. Therefore it comes up to 500ml of moisture! You get 500ml of moisture in this 50ml of product! ^o^

Oh yeah, not forgetting.. there's a spatula too! (the spatula kinda camouflaged in this pic. hahax~)

About ChiaSeed

CHIASEED - Seed moisture on your face all day long.

Your inner skin fully hydrated with the powerful moisture-capturing Organic Chia Seed.

Before I continue showing more of the product, I'm going to introduce you to Chia Seed... in its real form. Looks like little stones eh?

After researching, here's what I found: Chia can absorb between 9 and 12 times its unit weight in water, and when soaked in water forms a thick gel-like substance. This can be added to different foods, or can be used as a substitute to create healthier versions of your favourite recipe. Chia seeds are jam-packed with goodness (read more to find out...) Chia seeds are also one of Athlete's nutrition aside from Spinach, Gogi, Acai berries etc..

In the pic below, what you see surrounding the Chia seeds are the gel-like substance.

Now back to TFS CHIASEED...

A moisturizing cream with freshly germinated chia seeds in water drops fully hydrate the skin appearance.

ChiaSeed Moisture-Holding Seed Cream

I was sent a 50ml tub of Chia Seed moisturizing cream. Expiry date is shown at the bottom of the tub.

The cover with a heart shape flap ♥

When I lift the cover up, alot of product sticked to it.

The cream appears to be a gel-like cream (kinda like the gel substance that comes out from the actual Chia Seed?) and it looks almost yummy to me *thinks chia seed*.

Base on just looking at the content, it looks sticky and somewhat.... gloopy? Not sure if it's the right word to describe. lolx~

Application

Every morning and evening, dispense an adequate amount during the final stage of skincare according to the following sequence and gently apply along the skin texture in an outward direction and let absorb.

I will be changing my moisturizer to this Chia Seed Moisture-Holding Seed Cream soon and I will review it with swatches and all in a separate post. ^_^

The shades doesn't look gold-ish, but all of the shades have gold shimmers in it except for the pearl white.
I shall name these 4 shades as: Pearl White, Light Gold, Bronze, Dark Brown for easier explanation on my LOTD.

I applied using the dark brown along the upper lashline, the bronze above it and then the light gold above the other 2 shades, lastly using pearl white near brow bone area. Thereafter I blend them with a blending brush to remove obvious lines in between the shades.

For the lower lashline, I used pearl white at inner corner and bronze for the outer corner. I also brushed on a little pearl white at tear duct area (near the nose) to brighten my eyes and to add dimension to it.
Under cool lighting, this eyeshadow look like woody colour than bronze or gold.

But when under the sun or indoor daylight, light can be seen reflecting off from the gold shimmers.
I took these pictures after a day's out and the eyeshadows are still intact. They still look fresh with no smudges, creases or fall-outs.
Oh yah, I used NARS Smudge-proof eyeshadow base before applying the eyeshadow. It keeps most of my eyeshadows intact for whole day, prevent creasing and prevent my eyelids from becoming oily (which is mostly the main reason for creases & smudges). I'm glad I invested in a good eye base so I can work with every kind of eyeshadow there is with no problems. ^_^

Brigitte eyeshadow palettes are mostly woody brown base with a tint of gold/pink/red/ash colour. See all shades HERE. They are not glittery, feels smooth and easy to apply. The colours show up quite easily on my skin as they are pretty pigmented. All the shades in the palette have satin finish. If you like shades that are earthly with less or no glittering effects, you definitely should try out Brigitte eyeshadows.

On 18 Jan, I was invited to attend the Beautiful Japan Denim event, a Japan Denim Project in collaboration with LASALLE College of the Arts, showcasing the exquisite products from Kurashiki region in Japan of 10 well-established denim brands for the first time in Singapore. It was held at the JRunway flagship store. I'm always happy to attend JRunway events as I like to patron their store and had been doing so for the past few months since their opening. ^_^

Here's a pic I instagram when I was there:

Fashion Runway Show

At JRunway awaiting for the fashion show to start~

During the fashion show, besides getting my eyes glued to the hunks (uhhh-hum.) I also took a closer look at the details on all the designs, mostly the jeans and jackets. The buttons, pockets, up to the zips & seams were very nicely designed and sewn. I totally dig those jeans that the guys wore, they look so cool in them.

Here's the models dressed in denim apparels made by the 10 brands. I think my picture collage can serve as a 'How to dress in denims' reference book. Lolx~
*Note: I didn't post up all the pics I took as few of them were blur. Sorry for the semi-blur images. ▽ Click to enlarge images ▽

▲ I like that female dip dye blouse! ♥

Finale catwalk

Beautiful Japan Denim Pop-up Showroom
After the event, we were also invited to view their pop-up showroom that was set up just a short distance away from the Plaza Singapura extension wing entrance

I totally love the pop-up showroom idea. It is fully air-conditioned (for spoilt singaporeans who hate hot weather, like me! Lolx~) and the afternoon sunlight shone through the glass windows making the interior look bright, yet cozy. Every product showcased inside this showroom appeared sharp and clear to my eyes and my camera lens.

Denim is a woven fabric that uses yarn like these.

They covered half of the floor with their denim fabric that look almost like my denim canvas shoes! haha~

commonplace half jeans sewn onto a denim fabric with their logo printed over in gold, such a beautiful artwork.

More jeans from SEAMS, on the racks & on the floor. Spot rainbow macarons in this pic. lolx~

Tie dye + distressed denim? So cool~

What I took from the pop-up showroom, lots of catalogues!

Among all, SEAMS catalogue stands out the most. They used their denim fabric to make a 'pocket', embroidered on one side and printed their logo on the other.

Featuring Majolica Majorca The Little Humming Book 1 from Secret Blink Chapter 36

Here's a re-post of the images and swatches from the event blogpost.

Ahhhhh.. My sleepy face~~~ (^_,^) Heh heh heh.

Majolica Majorca The Little Humming Book 1 Review
I used the Moonless Night (dark plum shade) as Eyecream base by applying it with my ring finger on my eyelids. I dabbed it over my eyelids and stopping at the area around the creases.
I applied Flower Dust (white) eyeshadow over the whole eyelids, then applied Green Shower (mint) eyeshadow near the upper lashline and bottom lashline. At the inner bottom lashline area, I used a pearl eyeliner pencil to line it to make me eyes look brighter.
The pictures below shows my eye makeup AFTER wearing it for more than 6 hours.

During the application of the eye cream base, I felt that it was rather greasy and the base keep shifting around on my eyelids. At first I used a synthetic brush to apply but failed terribly so I switch to using fingers to dab on instead.

I am unable to even out the base, some areas look darker than the rest and there are some obvious outlines.

When I used the eyeshadows to layer on top of it, the eye cream base outlines seem to disappear as I slowly blend in the colours.

Though the final eye makeup appear quite decent, I still feel that the eye cream base makes my eyelids look oilier than usual. However to my surprise, there wasn't obvious creases at my double eyelid folds. Only a few short creases found at the inner corner of my eyes which are actually unnoticeable.

Both the eyeshadow shades are really pretty as they changes colour at different angles and lightings.

I will try using the eye shadows seperately the next time I use this palette again. And will try applying a eye primer before the eye cream base to test out if it works better that way.

For my lips, I used the Tulip Bed Lip Gloss from the palette. The gloss is slightly pigmented, it helps to conceal a little bit of my pigmented lips. Thereafter I apply a lipstick over it, it glides on smoothly on top of the lip gloss.
Sometimes I use lip gloss BEFORE a lipstick because I either 1) forgot to bring my lip balm..lolx~, 2) prefer not to have glossy & plump looking lips, or 3) lipstick doesn't glide on easily as it needs a little friction or a sticky base to work it.

I like how Tulip Bed colour appear on my lips, its a sweet pink, a little on the warm side.

Heyyyyy alll~ Today I'm going to talk about my experience on my first ever Jrock concert, LUNA SEA The End of the Dream Asia Tour 2013, which happened past Friday! ^_^

First up is my LOTD~ All ready to go for the Rockin'! ~\m/(^_,^)\m/~

My Hair Colour Adventure

Before I continue... I just wana show something I did on the eve of the Jrock concert.

Well, besides planning what to wear for the concert... I re-dyed my hair. With all the salons fully booked or closed for the Chinese New Year season, I decided to attempt DIY Hair dye at home to bring the orange back to life!

My orange hair basically had faded till almost ashy orange? light peach? some said amber.. well I duno what to call it, just see it for yourself.. ^_^"

Gahhhhhhhh... The ends are almost grey!

And so, I bought this Berina Hair Color Cream in A19 Golden Orange at IvyCosmetics only for $9.90 (90cents discount=$9) just because.... its named Golden Orange, the colour that I want. hahax~
This hair dye is made in Thailand. There are no gloves, instructions manual slips, capes, hair conditioner/mask.. nothing.
*Note the exp date is May 2013!!! I only realised it after I used it. =_="

Except for these 2 cream & 9%..... Bleach i guess?

Forgetting that my hair had already gone through bleaching, I went on squeezing all the contents from the tube and bottle into this Tau Huey Bowl. So who wants some tau huey?? Yum~~~

Berina Hair Color Cream Review

Even though the dye has bleach in it, I don't smell or feel any 'bleaching' on my scalp. But when I wash off the dye, my hair feels dry or I should say, drier than before I dyed it. So did the bleach make my hair dry? If so, then why is my roots still kinda black? hmmm...

When washing, the 'red' dye got washed out very fast... or maybe my hair is short? The red dye didn't bleed anymore after about 5 mins of rinsing.

My hair taken on the next day looks like this in my Iphone. I love the waves~~~ Looks super smooth yah? Lolx~

L'Oreal Paris EverStrong Deep Replenishing Masque Review

For these few days, I been washing my hair with several different shampoos depending on my scalp condition. I don't wash depending on my hair condition because scalp to me is more important and if it gets really oily, it will affect my mood and of course, my hair style too (which inturn will also affect my mood if I have bad hair day. lolx~)

I have been using L'Oreal Paris EverStrong Deep Replenishing Masque religiously almost every 2 days for my hair ends. It helps in hydrating my dry hair ends without making it feel oily, sleek (I don't like hair to be sleek), flat and most importantly, it doesn't cause itchiness to my scalp or worst, by making my scalp oily too. I know we don't apply hair mask on the scalp or near it, but with my short hair it is inevitable. The mask will definitely get to my scalp one way or another when I run it through my hair with my fingers.

The texture of the masque looks like this:

After masking, I will apply conditioner. (Just like face, you need a serum and a moisturiser. Hair works like this too) With my new warm orange hair, I definitely need a conditioner that can keep its colour and radiance. I dug into my stash of hair products and found Goldwell ColorGlow Deep Reflects Conditioner (Warm Brown) which I received quite sometime back (last year) from them.

Warm Brown... for Warm Golden Orange hair... that would work yah? Hhahax~

For the past few days, my hair colour maintained pretty well without any bleeding at all during hair wash. So I suppose this hair conditioner did helped alot. It also helped in smoothing my hair texture especially the ends. But it felt slightly oily, so I applied only a little bit, unlike the hair mask.

Anyhoo, after 4 days, my hair looks like this.

(Left pic: Under indoor white spot light. Right pic: Under natural sunlight)

At least the orange is still bright & obvious and the ends didn't fade to blonde/ grey. I'm not sure if it will continue to fade after that.. I shall monitor it and update on Instagram if it does.

Alright, now back to my LOTD!~

I only used 2 purple shades for this look. Continue to read to learn what I used on my eyes~

Don't be blaffed by the neon shade here, it only appear super purple because of the lighting... and I'm using the front cam of my Iphone. ^_^" Later in this post, you will get to see more of my LOTD~

OOTD: Rock on!!!
I was debating whether to wear this denim vest or not... Posted this on instagram, twitter & FB and everyone who replied said 'wear it'!

And so I did!~
Oh, my purple eyes matches the web/fishnet tights. Thanks to Jerlaine for reminding me to wear PRETTY leggies, and so she kinda reminded me that I have these for a long time but haven't got chance to wear them. Super happy that I can put them on now~ Btw its actually a gift from Na. ^_^

Posted this on my Instagram

LUNA SEA The End of the Dream Asia Tour 2013
Gotta thank these people for bringing cameras and offering to take pics with me otherwise, I won't have any pics of me at the event. hahhax~
Here's me, Xinyi, Kiyora and Kiyora's friend. Credits to xinyi's camera and her bf, Jon.
I'm like a big giant beside them.... (<_<")

And thanks to Kai too for taking pic with me~ Why i look so upset? Cos my hair got centre parting?
I like her tattoo stockings! ♥ Just realised we both wear denim outers. hahax~

And finally inside the concert hall!! I think its fate that my Jrock 'old' friends (not old as in age..) came walking in infront of us. I literally just wave my hands into their face hahhax~

This is the one and only most beautiful picture I took using my iPhone... As can see, I'm at the upper deck. Alot of my friends are at the first level! I'm not a huge HUGE fan of LUNA SEA but I still love them especially Sugizo! ^_^ And I love Ryuichi's vocal~ It makes me tremble~~~

I must say that I enjoyed the concert alot more than a Kpop concert. I love both kinds of music but for me to enjoy it is to be able to see the artistes with my very own eyes and not through a camera screen. As much as I want to capture them in my phone too, I don't go through the hassle of recording the concert or snapping 323059592348 photos of them the whole time. If I really want to, 10 pics or 1 min video clip is more than enough.
From the upper deck, I can clearly spot less than 10% of the fans are holding their phones/camera up to take pics/videos of Luna Sea when they were performing. When it come to silence moments, there will be more than 30% of the fans holding their phones up. And when they start performing again, all phones are down.
Unlike Kpop concerts (or MAMA which I went to), its like more than 30% of the fans will hold their phones up throughout the concert. I cant even see who is dancing infront of me. All I could see are the artistes through someone else's phone/camera screen. I think Jrock fans truely know how to enjoy a concert, they jump, they shriek, they headbang to every song that Luna Sea plays. I love this kind of crowd... or perhaps, its because we are older? I think most Luna Sea fans are like age 25 and above? lolx~ So we kinda feel tired holding a phone up for too long.. (besides Sebas that is. Lolx~)

After the concert, old friends gathered at Bugis for steamboat x BBQ. No need to say where I am, you can spot me even from another building.

An instagram pic of me and Mimi after the concert~ His pupils sho big!

LOTD with MUFE & Sleek Palettes
Left: MUFE TechniColor palette
Right: Sleek Carribean palette

I headbanged, I sweat, I ate steamboat.. and my hair & face is like this...

Eye makeup featuring the 'Lilac' shade from MUFE TechniColor palette and 'Purple Haze' from Sleek Carribean palette.
I applied Lilac all over my eyelid and then used Purple haze at the crease and outer corner. I need to practice more on shading dark colours as I always have 1 rounded corner and 1 sharp corner. *sigh~*

Even though the purple doesn't look neon as it is in previous pic, it still looks strong and very obvious when I look at it in the mirror. It didn't fade or have any fall-outs either.
The MUFE Lilac colour-payoff is really great! When I apply it on my eyes, the colour is exactly how it looks like from the palette. You know when you use light shades, it often appear even lighter than the palette. Or most of the time I think it is until I met MUFE eye shadows. Gota ♥♥♥ them!
Sleek's Purple haze is also pigmented but I find it hard to blend it into MUFE Lilac. I can see obvious lines of the dark purple at my creases. PLUS, I lack the skill in doing such eye makeup properly, so the whole eyelid colour just look kinda uneven. I am sorry to have spoilt all of your eyes for looking at my ugly LOTD... ^__,^"""

To end this post with a CNY mood, I present you red flowers sold by JONES!
One JONES selling CNY decorations not enough, there must be another JONES selling flowers ah?

Primary + Secondary Colours LOTD

Using shades from MUFE TechniColour Palette. (Read more on MUFE TechniColor Launch)

Shades are Jaune (Yellow), 91 (Apple Green), 72 (Turquoise)

Primer: NARS Pro-Prime Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base

Eyeliner: Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner

White Eyeliner: Majolica Majorca Jeweling Pencil in 71 (pinkish silvery colour)
Mascara:L'Oreal Paris Curl Impact Collagene Curl-Fixing Volume Mascara Waterproof

How I apply my TechniColor Look

Using Jaune(Yellow) to apply the whole eye lid stopping at the crease or below the brow bone area, then carefully apply Apple Green on the outer corners of my eye lids a little at a time. Blend the green hard lines.

I also applied Apple Green on outer half of the lower lashline to make my eyes look complete. Then I lined Turquoise along the upper lashline. (Can see a thin line of turquoise above the black eyeliner.)

I used Majolica Majorca Jeweling Pencil eyeliner on the inner half of my waterline to brighten up my eyes.

As usual, my skills in eye contouring is still amateur. (⌐⌂⌐") Least this time round, both outer corners are equally round.

Anyhoo, I used all shades from MUFE Technicolor palette and it blends way better (even with my not-so-good skills) than using Sleek on MUFE eye shadows (Click HERE to know why I say so).

Though the green appear slightly unbalanced on my lids, but there weren't any hard lines.

Till then! Cheers! (●♡●)

Day 3 of Chinese New Year and so I decided to wear my newly bought floral jeans which I got at Promod!

I didn't went shopping for the New Year on purpose, I just so happen to walk past Promod's window display at Paragon and the faded floral prints attracted me immediately upon one glance. Then I make a quick left turn to go in and look for it.
It was actually their Floral Jacket which attracted me first. But it didn't look good on me so I went around to look for others that have the same prints and I spotted the trousers. As I know that Promod's bottoms are pretty long, long enough for my never-ending legs (lolx~) so I decide to give it a try! One try and I purchased it. (^∇^)v~ It cost SGD$79.90. $$$ flies~

Here's a pic of the Floral Jeans taken with my Canon cam. The colours a little off from original as this was taken at night with flashlight.

This is actually one of Promod Spring 2013 Collection. Spot the same item that the model is wearing HERE. (Image from Promod Website)

Close-up view of the faded floral prints. The base colour is grey (like this) but I kinda look like greenish grey here, maybe because of the dim lighting in my room.

Basically I used all 4 shades by applying the lightest shade over my whole eye lid til the crease.

Then 2nd lightest over the eyelid too but end it at below the crease, and then 2nd darkest shade above my lash line. And lastly the darkest shade I lined it along my upper lash line and the outer corners of my bottom lash line. The colour payoff isn't that intense but its still strong enough to be noticed on my medium fair skin tone, even for the light yellowish gold shade.

The rest of the eye makeup I used the same technique as of the look I did on CNY Day 2 (see HERE)

The full eye makeup look using the following:

Eyebrow:Isehan Heavy Rotation Powder Eyebrow & Nose Shadow in #01

+ Tequila Sunrise shade from Sleek Carribean Palette

+ Love Liner Eyebrow Mascara in Light Brown

Primer: NARS Pro-Prime Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base

Eyeliner:Bonavoce Premium Liquid Eyeliner in Black (Read my Review)

Waterline Eyeliner: Majolica Majorca Jeweling Pencil in 71 (pinkish silvery colour)
Mascara:L'Oreal Paris Curl Impact Collagene Curl-Fixing Volume Mascara Waterproof

For the Mary Kay Eye Intrigue Color Quad, the eye shadows are semi-matte (or can say semi-satin too) with very little mica (glitter) in it. It is quite powdery and it is not very intense. The colour intensity is buildable but has a limit to it when using a brush to do so. I don't see any fall outs of the pigments under my eyes. I find that the colours compliments my skin tone and also my hair! ^,^

The colours are warm so it definitely works out for any warm skin tone people~

Due to its shade and texture, I find it also good to be used as a blush. You can view my swatch HERE when I blend all 4 shades together.

This palette could work as my everyday neutral eyeshadows.

For my lips, I used Mary Kay Bold Shine Lip Color in Poised Pink.

The Bold Shine Lip Color is an opaque pale pink shade (not those that are too pale) with a little bit of gloss. It can conceal my pigmented lips about 70%. To fully conceal pigmented lips, I normally require to use more than 1 lip product, such as a lip liner + lipstick/lip color or, lipstick + lip gloss.

In this case, I used a pinkish nude lip liner to shade the lips and applied Bold Shine Lip Color on top of it. The lip color acts as both a lip color and a light lip gloss.

It has tiny shimmers in it which also helps to make the lips look 3D and its texture is thick & creamy but not sticky. As the shade is a pale pink, it doesn't look flattering on me when used alone, so I often pair this up with either a lip liner, lip gloss or even a lipstick.

Oh yah I almost forgot to mention that I also used the following for face makeup:
Face Primer/ Makeup Base: Stila one step correct primer

Concealer: Orange shade from MUFE 5 Camouflage Palette Cream (Concealer Palette No 5)

+ Mac Studio Finish Concealer in NW25 & C25

Foundation:Urban Decay NAKED SKIN Weightless Ultra Definition Liquid Makeup in shade 3.0

Loose Powder:Chacott For Professionals Enriching Powder HD PW774 (Ocher)

+ Lavshuca Finish Powder High Cover

Blush:Illamasqua Powder Blush in Unrequited

Most of the time I'm plain lazy listing out all the things I used on my face, I just zoom into the point makeup only. But I duno why this time I wana do that.. hahax~

And yeah, that's all for my OOTD & LOTD!~

*PEEKS*Happy Lunar New Year & Happy Valentine's Day!!!~~ (⌒ω⌒)

Till then! Cheers! (●♡●)

During last year December holidays, I attended the benefit Pretty in Pink party at Tangs Orchard, celebrating the opening of their flagship store.

Benefit store is just near the main entrance of Tangs Orchard. When I entered and looked up, I saw beautiful round medallions with exquisite carvings hanging down from the ceiling. It's quite a pretty sight.

All attendees were greeted by their friendly staff and BAs. And Spy girls were seen roaming around the store.

Sure win spin wheel for customers who purchased benefit products during the party.

Beautiful ivory vanity table.

Their range of products is never ending!

About benefit
In 1976, the Ford twins created a unique San Francisco beauty boutique with a whimsical candy store atmosphere. The shop grew famous for delivering quick fixes for every gal's peskiest beauty dilemmas, and with a "double" dose of wackiness mixed with know-how, the twins successfully built Benefit Cosmetics into a global beauty brand. The "friskiest" beauty brand now has over 1,000 counters in more than 25 countries.

POREfessional PRO balm

On 16 Jan, there was a SOAP NOT SOUP press event held at LUSH Singapore Flagship store. During the event, they presented the Shark Fin Soap by LUSH which was launched in Hong Kong last year.
LUSH, is joining Shark Savers with a whirlwind tour through Singapore, Taiwan, and Hong Kong to raise awareness about shark conservation with the sale of their “shark fin soap,” a sea-vegetable soap with a fin.
Singapore kicked off in January, and beginning in February LUSH’s retail locations and the Shark Savers Taiwan team will conduct the largest awareness and education campaign on shark fin soup yet in Taiwan. Then it’s off to Hong Kong in March with joint promotions running through May.

Pictures of soaps taken at the LUSH flagship store at Wisma Atria. Once entered, I was warmly welcomed by both the LUSH and Shark Savers people.

I never get tired looking at the colourful soaps laid upon the shelves. My eyes stopped at various beautifully decorated soaps and it made me imagine myself in a bathtub using them... *day dreams* Opps! lolx~

Cosmetics Giant LUSH Joins Shark Savers ‘I’m FINished with FINS’campaign
SINGAPORE, January 19, 2013– COSMETICS giant LUSH has teamed up with Shark Savers Singapore to raise awareness about the urgent need to curb the consumption and trade of sharks’ fins. The collaboration was launched on Wednesday, January 16, 2013 at LUSH Cosmetic’s boutique at Wisma Atria and continues for two weeks.

Attending the event were Singaporean celebrities featured in Shark Savers’ “I’m FINished with FINs” campaign which empowers Singaporeans to not to eat shark’s fin soup: Mr. Hossan Leong, the campaign’s celebrity ambassador, Mr. Aaron Wong, campaign photographer, Ms Yasminne Cheng, Class95FM Radio deejay, and Nominated Member of Parliament Mr. Nicholas Fang. These personalities and almost fifty others can be seen in evocative black-and-white “I’m FINished” billboards throughout Singapore.

LUSH and Shark Savers have joined for a two week event called “Soap not Soup”, featuring the sale of ‘shark fin soap’. LUSH produced this special edition soap out of seaweed and sea salt, topped off with a small cardboard shark fin. All sales proceeds will go to Shark Savers.

Spot the celebrities in the photo I took! ^-^

Yummy refreshments & wine to celebrate the collaboration between Shark Savers & LUSH.

Behind the glass windows displayed a 'shark teeth' made out of plastic spoons. It looks real huh? And a table stacked with limited edition Shark Fin Soaps. (Not made of shark fins)

Shark Fin Soap is made out of sea vegetable & sea salt. 100% of its sales proceeds will go to the Shark Savers.

I'm FINished with FINS posters.

Some Fun Facts & Conservation Facts about Sharks.

Press Conference

Nafees Khundker, Director of Lush Cosmetics Singapore & Jonn Lu, Shark Savers Singapore giving a short speech.

Mr. Nafees Khundker, Director of LUSH, Singapore, explained, “100% of the LUSH products are not tested on animals and are designed to have a low impact on the environment.” he said. “We are very proud to partner with Shark Savers in what is a critical initiative to save sharks, which face the threat of extinction due to the consumption of shark fin soup.”
Jonn Lu, Regional Director of Shark Savers, Asia Pacific, noted that “the over-fishing of sharks, mostly for their fins, happens out in the ocean, where most people don’t see it or know about its impact. People care about what they know, and they protect what they care about. We need to make sure people are aware about this issue, which is having a severe impact not just on sharks but the rest of the ocean ecosystem, and us humans who depend on the oceans for our existence.”

Statistics were mentioned by John Lu during the press event:

Each year, the fins of tens of millions of sharks are slaughtered, with their fins entering the shark fin trade.
1/3 of all shark species are threatened with extinction.
80% of open ocean shark species frequently targeted in high seas fisheries are threatened or near threatened with extinction.
All 14 species of shark most prevalent in the shark fin trade are Threatened or Near Threatened with extinction.
More information and references for the above claims may be found HERE

The celebrity participants gave their own reasons for supporting Shark Savers’ campaign. NMP Fang said, “If you look at the damage we are doing to the environment through this activity [eating shark fin soup], it is huge.” Fang urged people “to stand by your personal convictions” and not be afraid to speak out against shark fin soup. Yasminne Cheng added, “If there are traditions that are negative, that affect our welfare, then we should rethink these traditions.”
Hossan Leong joked that he is “doing this for 'selfish reasons', because if you don’t save the sharks, you won’t have healthy oceans, and I like seafood.” He referred to research that showed removing sharks from the ecosystem can result in the loss of species further down the food chain. He added, "the next generation should have the opportunity to see these beautiful creatures in their natural habitat."

LUSH, a vegetarian company with vegetarian beliefs and sensibilities, which has over 820 shops across 50 countries around the globe, has taken Shark Savers’ pledge to not to serve any sharks fin dishes at corporate events, promote any shark fin products, or reimburse employees for expenses for sharks fin products. LUSH has also supported Shark Savers’ campaigns in Hong Kong, the United States, Canada, and Taiwan.

Shark Fin Soap

Alright ladies!!.... and men! Time to zoom into the shark fin!.. Soap i mean. Here I present some close-up images of the soap.
An ocean blue soap shaped in a little ~ wave symbol which also represents the ocean. Remember the days when you as a kid, drew many ~ symbols on paper, pointed it and says "SEA". (lolx~)

The shark fin is made in black cardboard paper. It protrudes out from the middle of the soap which mimics the real shark fins seen gliding across the ocean surface. This is perhaps an image of what they wanted us to imagine, watching the sharks able to swim in the ocean WITH their fins and not without them.

This soap has a pretty strong 'ocean-y' smell (a smell that reminds me of ocean that is), but with more lime in it. From the LUSH website, its said that it has actually scents of lime, lavender and seaweed. The sea weeds found at the bottom of the soap kinda projects the plants living on the ocean floor. As like many other LUSH soap, this soap is easy to lather with water. After bathing using the soap, my skin feels clean and has this slight waxy after-feel and the scent lingers on my body.

Since I don't see any of my faces in the events photo, I shall bombard you with my LOTD! But I don't want my face to become the main subject for this post so I thumbnail them. lalala~ acting cute etc etc etc~

Hair covering my whole face is like the best LOTD huh. =p~

Weeks ago, pureDKNY collection introduces the new scent for women, pureDKNY a drop of rose.
The launch of this new collection was held at Parco Caffe 10 Raeburn Park, a little cafe at a quiet cul-de-sac, its an absolute wonderful place which fits the theme.

The private room reserved for the event has natural sunlight shining through its glass rooftop. Everything in this room looks bright and pretty. It has air-con plus ceiling fan, its very cooling sitting in there, at some point cold too.(Because of the fan. lolx~) It's a very good place for families, friends or even office colleagues to have their gatherings in this room.

Roses, roses, roses. Its really beautiful! Everything is in sweet pink~

pureDKNY A drop of rose collection display

Here's pureDKNY A Drop of Rose in 50ml & 100ml, pure DKNY Body Wash 200ml.

pureDKNY A Drop of Rose
a drop of rose, a drop of good will.
The pureDKNY collection introduces the new scent for women, pureDKNY a drop of rose. there are many flowers but the rose stands alone; elegant, timeless and authentic. pureDKNY a drop of rose is made with naturally derived rose from turkey. soft and sensually romantic, one flower, one love, one scent.

Watch this video to learn how pureDKNY A Drop of Rose fragrance comes about.

The rich soil, rain and sunshine of the Isparta valley in Turkey give way to the perfect rose. It is in this place that the story of pureDKNY a Drop of Rose is born. See the story unfold.

pureDKNY partners with a local social enterprise, Mother and Child Project™, which seeks to empower disadvantaged women in Singapore so they can be equipped with a skill to work from home, have the time and capacity to take care of their children and ultimately, be self-sufficient.

Mother and Child Project ™
Mother and Child Project™ is a social enterprise run by Singapore Anglican Community Services (SACS) and seed funded by ComCare Enterprise Fund. This enterprise was birthed to empower the disadvantaged women in Singapore so they can be equipped with a skill to work from home, have the time and capacity to take care of their children and ultimately, be self-sufficient.
Mother and Child Project ™ products are all handcrafted and made in Singapore.

Next, we were taught how to make a heart shape cushion keychain. Though I'm used to sewing fabrics and stuffs with my own hands (thanks to my hobby-cosplay), I'm still not used to sewing a blind stitch. A crooked closure at the side of the heart can be seen cos my blind stitch is really... not so blind. hahhax~ (^▽^") Then we sprayed the fragrance onto the heart to make it a scented keychain. Its a very cute keychain which I now often sprayed it with pureDKNY A drop of rose and keep it in my bag so everytime I opens up my bag, I can smell roses~

The products that I received from the event are:
- pureDKNY A Drop of Rose EDP 100ml
- pureDKNY Canvas Hobo bag

pureDKNY A Drop of Rose Review
The packaging clearly states the manufacturing date of the product.

Ingredients

A clean, sleek & simple water drop shaped glass bottle with the word pureDKNY printed on one side.

The wording's in pale pink & its cap is coated in matte metallic pink to signify that this is the pureDKNY A Drop of Rose EDP and to differentiate itself from the Vanilla and Verbena fragrances.

Upon the first few spray, I can clearly smell the perfect rose scent. It brought my mind to the Rose Garden which I once visited in Japan, less the pungency & soil scent. (lolx~) If you ever holds a bunch of roses in your hands, try smelling them deeply. You can get almost the similar scent from this bottle of perfume too except that I feel the real roses smelled a tiny bit more sharp, crisp and 'rotten'. But of course, roses have already started rotting by the time you hold them in your hands. (Unless you grow your own roses)
With the pureDKNY A Drop of Rose perfume, I can always smell fresh roses at anytime.
The perfume when used on my body smells slightly sweet, romantic, warm yet calming, it really makes me feel like I just toured the Rose Garden under the morning sun and that scent, lingered on my body.
When I used the perfume, it stayed on me the whole day. It even stayed on my clothes till the next day. Not that I didn't bath, the rose scent actually came from the clothes (sprayed with perfume) in the laundry basket. Lolx~ (^o^") The perfume on my wrists fades away when I wash my hands, however the rest still lingers on other parts of my body, just less heavy at the end of the day.
I usually like having more than 5 pumps on my body (quiet alot yah? ^,^"). 2-4 times on my wrists/arms and 2 times on my legs/pants and lastly 1 spray on my hair. I never tried spraying body spray on my hair except for hair fragrances last time.
I started doing it because an image from "We got married" (A korean variety show) showing a celebrity couple spraying perfume on their head was stuck in my brain, just becos Na mentioned it to me and we all thought it was funny when the couple started doing silly things like *cupping hand over the head and quickly cupping over nose* trying to catch the scent. And yah, that is why now I spray on my head too. lolx~
I always liked rose scents and love it more if it smells pure and subtle. pureDKNY A Drop of Rose doesn't mix with other scents, it smells like pure sweet rose to me.

ABOUT HELLO, SHIBUYA TOKYO

▲ image from HELLO, SHIBUYA TOKYO

HELLO, SHIBUYA TOKYO provides a venue for the next generation's designers based in Shibuya in Tokyo and Singapore to present and express their ideas in Singapore. Throughout the duration of the project, major fashion brands based in Shibuya will open Pop-up Shops, emerging designers will hold exhibitions and fashion shows, and B2B Business meetings will also take place.

Singapore on the other hand culturally plays a major role as an Asean Hub. Singapore is increasingly becoming a venue for the next generation of Japanese Designers and Artists to launch their international careers. This project is designed to not only introduce the culture of Shibuya but is also engineered to create opportunities for Japanese designers and Artists to collaborate with their Singaporean counterparts. The fashion, art, music and youth culture of the two cities developed over time converge to create new markets and new value. It is our hope to HELLO, SHIBUYA TOKYO will form a platform for both Shibuya and Singapore's next generation of talent from which new culture will be developed and ultimately prosper in both countries.

Pop-up stores to open during HELLO, SHIBUYA TOKYO, will showcase collaborative Hello Kitty products made especially for the project and zines featuring the work of artists that will be presenting their work during HELLO, SHIBUYA TOKYO.

Event

Beauty bloggers were invited to attend the launch at The Spa-Lon.

At the event, we were introduced to the dermo-cosmetic brand BioNike.

BioNike is preservative-free from parabens, thiazolinones and formaldehyde releasers (these could trigger skin reactions).

BioNike has developed its own cosmetic preservation system, which is not based on chemical preservatives. Such a system is the result of many years of research and development, which today allows to offer preservative-free cosmetics that provide the same preserving times traditional cosmetics have, thus safety for the user is guaranteed according to European Cosmetics Directive regulations.

Giving up chemical preservatives in cosmetics is a tough undertaking, which involves developing formulations with the aim to reach a stable equilibrium of the preserving means used. How is this achieved?
Preservative-free cosmetic formulations are achieved by developing a number of alternative preservation strategies, which will give a stable preservation system as a whole. Such strategies include:

- Not using any raw material classified as a preservative in the European Cosmetic Directive (76/768/EEC), but rather alternative, safe ingredients of other nature which the literature indicates as having a certain degree of anti-microbial activity.
- Blocking the free water in the cosmetic system: water is a perfect substrate for microbial growth and proliferation. BioNike makes use of cutting-edge techniques to “hide” water away, while still keeping it in the cosmetic system. This is achieved by including special ingredients which retain water.
- Creating a hostile environment for microbial growth, for instance by working on osmotic gradients.
- Including antioxidant and chelating agents which exert a preservative action.

Developing a preservative-free, well-balanced system is costly and time-consuming - this is why few manufacturers pursue this strategy. It is much easier to stay with chemical preservation, for the sake of costs and time-to-market.
Those manufacturers who decide to set cost-saving strategies aside a little and care more for sensitive skin by actually investing in the development of alternative preservation systems are currently being rewarded by the market, because consumers are increasingly aware of skin sensitizing agents that cosmetics can bring to their skin.

About ICIM Bionike
The Italian company at the service of skin for seventy years.
ICIM was founded as a pharmaceutical company in the 1930s and made a name for itself in chemists' with safe and effective dermatological and dermo-cosmetic products.
The Company is specialized in developing products for subjects with sensitive, allergic and reactive skins.

All the products are identified by the BioNike brand and are formulated hypoallergenically, tested on reconstructed skin in vitro and subject to stringent dermatological tests which guarantee their high tolerability by the skin.

Two of BioNike lines, Defence and Triderm, are:
- Nickel tested: each production lot is tested to guarantee a content in nickel traces lower than 0.00001%; the makeup is also tested against chrome and cobalt
- Fragrance free: totally without fragrances or, in a few cases, only fragrances are selected that do not contain allergens

- Preservative free: totally without preservatives
- Gluten source free: without gluten

Nickel, preservatives and fragrance are indicated by many dermatological studies as substances that are principally responsible for contact allergies.

The constant success of BioNike products is also due to the solid relationship of trust that ICIM has built up over time with specialists - dermatologists, paediatricians, allergists - and with chemists. The Company sees in them privileged partners in dialogue, able to understand all the potential in the applications of its products and boosting their commercial success. Doctors and chemists, in turn, recognise ICIM as an authoritative reference in the care and treatment of sensitive, allergic and reactive skins.

BioNike's Guarentees

Complimentary from BioNike
After the event, I received a box of the following items:
- Defence B-Lucent Day Peel (40ml)
- Defence B-Lucent Roll-On Focus (15ml)

- Green bristle scrub

- Pink rubber glove

Should I do this pose with the scrub and glove? Lolx~

Product Packaging
On the Day Peel box indicated Nickel tested, Preservative free, Fragrance free, Gluten source free (in another language) on the top left.
Where on the Roll-On Focus box, the Fragrance free is not stated.

Its also indicated on the products itself on the top left.

BioNike Defence B-Lucent Day Peel
Ingredients, descriptions and how to use instructions are all indicated on the box. Product is Made in Italy.
Ingredients includes Lactobionic acid and Gluconolactone which are (PHAs), a form of chemical exfoliation.

The expiry date is debossed on the bottom of the box. For my Day Peel, it expires on September 2017, which means it's shelf life is about 4 years if it is not opened. And once opened, its life span is 12 months as indicated on the back of the box (see above image).

Besides the product, there is also a manual and a sachet of Defence B-Lucent Skin-Evening Face Cream and Skin-Evening Concentrate included inside the box. Its probably my first time to find sachets packed inside a product packaging. A good marketing method of introducing the users to try the other products of the same skincare line.

The material of the tube is matte and rubbery which makes it non-slippery when held in wet hands.

Sealed on the inside.

BioNike Defence B-Lucent Day Peel Swatch
The Day Peel is a cream cleanser with transparent beads that reminds me of sago. (you know the melon with sago dessert? Mmmm~ I love sago. lolx~)
The cream cleanser is very creamy and does not foam up. The exfoliating beads feels rubbery and they don't break down or melt off at all.
The cleanser does not have fragrance, however it has a slight rubber scent.

BioNike Defence B-Lucent Roll-On Focus

Ingredients includes glycolic acid and lactic acid, both of which are alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), and also includes PHAs as well.

Product life-span is 12 months after opening. Product made in Italy.

Shelf life up to July 2016 if unopened.

The ball is made of translucent plastic material.

BioNike Defence B-Lucent Roll-On Focus Swatch
The product is clear liquid, has a tiny bit odour to it (smells kind of like the Day Peel).
It is non-sticky, non-greasy. Feels like gel-water kind of liquid. Absorbs very fast if applied little at a time.

Above is not my review yet, I will be putting up a full in-depth review of both Day Peel and Roll-On Focus on a separate post once I finished using these products. ^_^
