NoTS- How to have egg-like skin

Why we are getting dark and rough skin?

There are 3 MOST IMPORTANT reasons why

1. You are not exfoliating your dead skin cells

2. Skin lacks hydration

3. Using unsuitable skincare products

Why NoTS?

NoTS is known as one of the top Natural Functional Cosmetics Brand in Korea. Here are several reasons why you should try NoTS.

1. All the products are made from high quality natural ingredients
2. You could feel the difference within a short period of time
3. It is one of the leading natural cosmetics brands in Korea

Here are the steps to perfect egg-like skin

Step 1: 28 Remedy Brightening Peeling Gel

Use this once a week. It is a safe gel-typed exfoliator that gently removes your dead skin cells. The milk extract provides hydration after wash so you won't fee ltightness in your skin. I wouldn't recommend you to use it more than once a week. Often exfoliation could make your skin extra sensitive.

Step 2: White Luminaire Revital Fluid

This is the second step to soothe your delicate skin right after the exfoliation. Soak abundant amount of Fluid on cotton pads and put them on your cheeks, forehead, and chin. Leave it on for 5 minutes. This is also a quick skincare prep tip for your hydrating and brightening makeup look.

Step 3: White Luminaire Revital Essence

An intense brightening care to even out your uneven skin tone. It is lightly and quickly absorbed into your skin to provide enriched brightening, natural nutrition and hydration

Step 4: White Luminaire Spot Correcting Cream
End off with applying the creamy texture Spot Correcting Cream to prevent moisture evaporation from your skin. It forms a protective layer over your skin from environmental stimulus during the day and provides deep hydration during the night.

Now are good to go after applying your make-up!
NoTS can be found at all SASA Singapore stores :)

DR+NU:ELL Enzyme O2 Bubble Cleanser

Introducing DR+NU:ELL Enzyme O2 Bubble Cleanser, a Dual Function Cleanser and a Make-Up Removal even for waterproof eyeliner. You do not need to double cleanse but just use this cleanser is enough.

It contains 4 main ingredients (Papaya fruit extract, Phaselous radiates seed extract,Betula alba bark extract and Rumex Crispus root extract) that generate oxygenated bubbles which aids in removing dead skin cells and cleanses the pores thoroughly. Suitable for sensitive skin!

Let's begin with a selfie before I remove my makeup

Applying 2 pumps of the product on the apples of my cheek

After 3 secs..

After 5 secs..

After 7 secs...

Look at how it all foams up in 10 secs!! Ignore my retardedness... haha

There's a tingly sensation and I can feel it lifting the dirt out of my skin.. Psychologically win factor! Massage foam onto the rest of the skin and rinse off with warm water! Although I have very light makeup on here, this product also works for very thick makeup. I've tried using it after my shoots and it works just as well!

Super clean and fresh skin!

I normally double cleanse because of the leftover residue from my makeup remover. But this product is so efficient. Definitely including it in my travel essentials.

Proper cleansing saves the trouble of having unwanted skin issues like clogged pores and acne. So no matter how tired I am at the end of the day, I'll never skin this step! ^^

DR+NU:ELL Enzyme O2 Bubble Cleanser is retailing at $35.80 after GST and you can get it from www.dermabiz.com.sg as well as leading retail stores such as OG Chinatown, John Little Plaza Singapura and Essentials Pharmacy.

ABC-Korea: Skinria

Recently, I've been introduced to 2 star products from Skinria Korea...

1) 36.5 Skinria Enzyme Powder Daily Wash is a milky, water-activated enzyme powder that effortlessly removes residue from skin, leaving it polished and baby soft in an instant. It is odorless and especially helpful for sensitive skin. Initially, I felt the sensation of micro beads massaging onto my pores when I rubbed the product on my skin in circular motions. So yeah it does have some gentle exfoliating effect which explains why my skin felt extra clean and bright after just one wash. It doesn't feel dry at all unlike most exfoliating cleaners I've tried so far. Thumbs up!

2) Skinria Smart 4.0 CC Cream like all other Korean CC creams has an all-in-one benefit. This product helps with brightening, moisturizing and anti-wrinkle. What I like about it is that the texture is not so thick as compared to other CC creams which are mostly quite rich. However I am surprised it still gives you just enough coverage that you need. So if you are looking for something light with reasonable coverage, you can try this! I would highly recommend this especially for our humid sunny island.

This product hasn't been brought into sg yet but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that ABC-Korea will bring it in soon :D

Food tasting for National Day Special // The DRx Medispa Trichology

Celebrate Singapore's independence along with local favourite dishes with an extraordinary upgrade

Happy birthday Singapore!
I'm really happy to be one of the first invited for a dinner food tasting at Crown Plaza Changi Airport.

Crowne Plaza Changi Airport commemorates National Day with iconic local dishes with a twist!

I'm a fan of laksa, hokkien mee, satay etc so I was really excited to taste the more atas version of these :p

Loving how healthy my hair is here after my DRx Medispa trichology experience.

This place looks fabulous for a cozy date or simple family affair!
And their dessert bar is super love, I couldn't resist. It was worth every calorie ;)

From 1 to 17 August 2014, Singaporeans may indulge in their favourite local delights with specially imported ingredients and larger portions to celebrate the heritage and culture that Singapore has built.

Boston Lobster Laksa with Angel Hair Italian Noodles ($ 28 ++)

This is a special treat to those who are lovers of Laksa and Boston Lobster. Influenced by one of the hotel’s most popular dishes, the chef substituted the traditional thick beehoon with perfectly cooked Angel Hair Italian Noodles and topped it up with juicy Pacific Clams and mouth-watering Boston Lobster for an enthralling delight.

Can fight with Katong Laksa! But only better because the ingredients are more premium.

My favourtie dish!!

King Crab Hokkien Noodles in Clay Pot ($ 32 ++)

Originating from the Fujian province of China, the Hokkien Noodles, consisting of yellow noodles and beehoon are tastefully braised in a flavourful stock and garnished with chives, crispy pork belly, baby squid and calamansi. To give it a little finesse, the noodles are served with succulent sea asparagus and luscious Alaskan King Crab in a nostalgic Clay Pot.

Satay Marinated Australian Rib Eye ($ 35 ++)

Taking inspiration from a dish that has a widespread popularity, their kitchen marinates the Australian Rib Eye with Satay spices and grill it to perfection. The Rib Eye is served alongside a medley of root vegetables and a specially concocted peanut gravy to give a flavourful punch with every bite.

Like all the unique dishes that we are presenting, Tiger Radler is a combination of locally produced Tiger Beer and natural lemon juice which creates a refreshing sensation. Enjoy a bottle of Tiger Radler on us with every ala carte dish ordered and cheers to the success of Singapore’s past 49 years.

The National Day Special Ala Carte dishes can be enjoyed at Azur or Lobby Lounge. To make a reservation at Azur, please call 6823 5354 or email azur.cpca@ihg.com.

The DRx Medispa: Trichology

Because vain pot me LOVE having light coloured hair, the frequent strong chemical dye has taken a toll on my poor scalp! As such, I starting experiencing hair fall which is totally not cool for a young girl like me! *sob sobs*

I know it's tough but I made the effort to maintain having dark coloured hair so that I don't have to keep toughing up my roots.

And also..... I made my first visit to The DRx Medispa for Trichology to seek treatment!

I started with an intensive hair scan by this lovely lady here, Peggy. You could tell from our expressions how embarrassed I was while taking the scan and Peggy was amused.Truth be told, my scalp really wasn't in its best condition. I was like "nooooo that cant be" when I saw my scan.
Thank god I did not scare the hell out of Peggy!!

She sat down after that in a calm and composed manner and started giving me advise on how I should take it from here. Okay, I know it sounds quite serious but I think this is necessary. I'm just so thankful I can now fix my scalp issues at The DRx Medispa and say goodbye to my nightmare.

DRx Purifying Treatment:
I was recommended this treatment to deep cleanse and unclog my pores so that it can breathe better. Clogged pores prevent my hair from its natural hair growth which explains the hair thinning.

The DRx Medispa was also featured on Harper's Bazaar for their award winning scalp treatment.

The therapist massaged some nourishing serum on my scalp and used a steamer like device to set in it followed by an intensive hair wash.
This is to loosen up the clogged areas before adding "fertilizers" to treat the scalp. After adding in the good stuff, a laser light is used to stimulate hair growth.

The whole experience takes about 1.5hour- treatment is 90mins and consultation before the treatment is 30mins.
It was so relaxing I felt like a pampered tai tai!
HAHAHA i love it.
