Shop Sephora at Zalora!

I believe most girls would have heard of this brand SEPHORA at least once in their lives. No?

Think shopping malls.

Basically, SEPHORA is a brand that sells a wide range of high-quality make-up, skincare products, etc. I have friends who are simply huge fans of Sephora as they do offer exclusive products that can only be found in their stores!

Now here's something that can make shopaholics squeal. (Especially if you are a huge Sephora fan)

They are now OFFICIALLY on the ZALORA site!

(Say Yay!)

In other words, shopping has been made easier - and with such a renowned brand like ZALORA- You can feel completely safe about the experience!

One thing I love shopping on the ZALORA site is because of its clean and user-friendly interface. 

Just one look + click and you'll be able to find everything being displayed there nicely!

Here are some examples of their make-up products. Brushes, palettes, mascaras... You name it, they have it!

(I am sure make-up gurus will love these!)

Just hover your cursor over the picture on their page and you'll be able to see a super close-up version of the item.

Its like doing physical shopping at the store itself, just that you are at the comfort of your own home.

Of course, there are many MORE items listed there, including perfumes, body care, nail care, etc.

I have been to the physical store once and I simply love the women fragrances!

And yes - Another plus factor that I love shopping on ZALORA site is its FILTER feature. I could filter the products by popularity, price, etc. 

You will never miss out on them this way!

Why is online shopping so convenient now, ah??! *shakes head in utter amazement*

I wish I could list my favorite items down here, but there are indeed too many. I believe most of the common in-store products can be found on the site too! You will never get yourself "lost" in the physical store again as you can find the items easily there. 

So... You ready for some shopping fun now?

Shop Sephora at ZALORA now!

 (Hey, don't you think that kinda' rhymes? Haha!)

Sponsored: Theraclear - Acne Therapy Treatment Review!

Seriously, what has puberty done to me?!

The non-stop growing acne, pimples, blackheads and even whiteheads..

They are just awful and painful to watch.

I have tried many different pimple creams, etc. But none of them seemed to be really effective.
Not until when I was recently invited by Innomed Asia and Cozycot
to blog about a great technology invention - Theraclear, an award-winning acne therapy!
I was sponsored to one treatment - and I'll be sharing my experience with you here...

So what is Theraclear, you ask?
Well, this may just be your solution to end your pimple/acne sorrows. With just one single treatment, you will be able to see immediate and visible results - and the price isn't that expensive!
Ah, I know what you are probably thinking...
"This is just too good to be true..."
(Because that was my initial reaction too!)

Ah, enough said. Here's a video introduction about Theraclear:


Theraclear promises these benefits:
-No pain.
-Fast 10 minute treatment
-Noticeable visible improvement after 1st treatment
-Effective on mild to moderate inflammatory acne, commodenal and pustular acne
-Requires no pre-treatment gels or anesthetics
-Personal treatment insert maintains hygiene and reduces risk of cross contamination

Now...I shall put my personal experience about Theraclear to the test and... Here comes my honest review.

The clinic that I was referred to was "Chua Medical Centre". Do note that they do not really accept call-in appointments. In order to be fair, they only cater to walk-ins.

The location is very near and within walking distance from Simei MRT station.

(It's situated at a neighborhood area, and you will definitely not miss this "CHUA MEDICAL CENTRE" sign!)

It's actually a small but cozy clinic.

Clean interior.

The waiting time was not really that long (around 8- 10 minutes). I was given a queue number and asked to wait at the waiting area while Dr Chua was busy attending to other patients.

With thanks to my dear boyfriend, he accompanied me to the clinic and assisted me in taking the photos. (See, I am giving him credits here! Haha)

And I finally met Dr.Chua! The doctor whom was in-charge of my Theraclear treatment.
Within less than 5 minutes of consultation and an observation of my skin condition,(My problem areas mainly lie on the acne around my forehead, etc.),he proceeded to request me to lie down on the bed stretch...

(Honestly, I was feeling really nervous as I have never been through anything like this before... Haha. Gosh, the mixed emotions while I was lying on that bed!)

Skin analysis of the right side of my face, which was in quite a bad condition.
(I was actually suffering more than just acne problems.. but major whitehead/blackhead breakouts as well :()

So here it is - The Theraclear machine!! It looked majestic... and quite scary at the same time.

 
Before the procedure, Dr Chua wiped off the make-up on my face. (I did not actually have any make-up on my face except for the eyes that day, but I let him clean it anyway.)
So if any of you out there are intending to go for the treatment after reading my entry, it is advisable if you go bare-faced - for the convenience of Dr Chua and yourself!

Before Dr Chua began, he advised me that I would experience tolerable pain during the treatment.
(My heart raced when I heard that because I am usually one who has a fear for pain!)
However, thinking about the fact that I would have a more beautiful skin after the treatment provided me a great sense of comfort... ...

And.. I guess I was ready...

AAAHH!!! It's finally on my face. AH, NOooooo. YES, NOoooo... YES!

The Theraclear tool working its magic on face..
(The feeling was just like having an air sucker trying to suck the life out of your face.)
Well.. It did not really hurt for the first few minutes..
But honestly speaking, it WAS quite painful at certain times during the treatment. I cannot lie about that.

The reason of why it hurts was because the tool was meant to BURN all your facial hair away.
And trust me, you can really SMELL it. That burnt smell was unmistakable.

(During the process, Dr Chua told me that I would love touching my own face after this because it would become so much smoother. Haha...)

Yes, there came a certain point of stage when I experienced really tough pain.

But it was still bearable and within my limits.

And the treatment was really fast - Before I knew it, Dr Chua told me that he was done.
The burnt smell was still lingering...
I was like "HUH?! OMG, how is my face now? Is it burned?! DO I LOOK BURNT?!"

He was amused and handed hand-held mirror to me. He said that it wasn't as bad as I thought. LOL.
Ah, my acne was still visible - but that was because this picture was taken one minute right after the treatment ended.
After the redness died down, I was actually quite surprised by the results!
Sorry that I have to censor my eyes because I really looked terrible with the smudging of eye make-up after the process!

A no make-up face pic that I took at home using my mobile phone - almost 2 hours after the treatment.

(As you can see, the redness that was around my left eye near eyebrow area has faded to a large extent!)

And here is a photo a few days later after the treatment.

And NO, I did not really apply much make-up or foundation on my face except for the eyes!
Can you see the difference?

And I realized my acne has stopped growing for the subsequent few weeks. I used to have new acne popping out on my face once every few days, and gosh - was that feeling terrible! And somehow I feel relieved that the growth has stopped.
Dr Chua has told me that one treatment would not be adequate, but I am already contented that the results are so visible within just one treatment.

Verdict: Although it may not be entirely true that Theraclear was described to be 100% painless, but it's still bearable. Jut that bit of pain for a more beautiful skin... Why not?
I have always believed in having natural and flawless skin without depending on the need for make-up products. (That is one of the reasons why I do not really use BB cream or powder on my face as I believe it will clog the facial pores heavily.)
And what Theraclear does is to vaccum and clean them entirely!

If you are interested in trying out Theraclear treatment for yourself too and see it work its magic on your acne, as below are the clinic's details. It's a well-worth experience!

[Event] Shibuya Girls + Mini Halloween activity FUN! :)

With "recommendation" from Nixeux, she told me about the Shibuya Girls event that was held on Saturday @ Kbox Function Hall.

What a sight when I got there! There were many gyaru-looking girls there when I arrived.

(I'm not someone who is following the Gyaru trend, but it was still interesting as I managed to observe and learn more about their kind of makeup through the event.)

The different Gyarus onstage:

  There were mini flea booths as well and those stuff were going reaalllyy cheap. Like $10 for 2 pcs of apparels?!

I got myself a little something:

With Zhicong and Jade.

Darn. This angle makes my face look damn fat:. Am I really THAT fat??

 Met Jade and Zhicong who were there as well, and helped Jade to take a photo of her and her favorite blogger, Kelly. :)

This is for you! :)

I guess these freebies were sponsored by Watsons as they came in a Watsons bag! Gosh, they were so generous:

(Look at the falsies! I have a feeling I am going to love it.)

That is what being a girl is all about.. Lalala:

After the event that ended at around 6pm, we headed down to the basement that contains a makeshift haunted house by Universal Studios Singapore (USS). 

Yes yes, it's FREE admission. So you can basically enter as many times as you can.

Damn it, my eardrums almost exploded from those people who were screaming like crazy in the haunted house! (And there was absolutely NOTHING in there at all except a few scary props and dark light)

Duh, attention seekers.

Join your collection??!

Before entering the Haunted house:

Here's Wen:

And myself:

The interior was so freaking dark that I almost bang into a dead end =_=.

I randomly raised my flash and shot this photo. You can't actually see it clearly when you are in there.

 The light effects that obstruct your vision. (But it turned out looking nice on camera.)

 Gosh. I couldn't see where I was going!

Kinda' miss those times when I was working as a scare actor at USS last year.

*tears*

Well. Life gotta move on!!

Came out and headed to *Scape to play with the props outside Museum of Horrors: 

Killing da' zombiessss!!!

*ROAR!!!*

Wen gave me this idea to pose like this - hitting on the severed head =_=

(LOL):

And killing another zombie with an ultimate chainsaw:

Ahhhh!!

 Ok, enough of the play.

Stumbled upon a Coca Cola truck outside Cineleisure that was having a mini Halloween activity and they were giving out Halloween treats!

(LOL, the "witch" in this photo was totally cool. I love his portrayal of the witch)

Yes, all we had to do was to shout and slam the "PRESS ME" button HARD for something to fall out.

I got this:

Nope, its not movie tickets.

But a Timezone Reloadable card! :D

Thanks for the Halloween treat!

I was given an extra treat by the "witch" while I was in the queue:

OMG, a limited edition Hello Kitty Maybelline mascara!!

Thanks, witch! :)

The back view:

Took a photo with the friendly witch before making our move:

The streets of Orchard were really beautiful, especially with the current Halloween decorations.

It seems that Singaporeans are starting to love Halloween now, unlike ages ago when I felt that I was the only one who was so crazy about such stuff!

Before ending this entry....

BOO! Happy Halloween, all!

Love at first sight = Beauty?

I believe all girls love to look beautiful. Don't you? (I'm assuming you are!)

And yes, this entry will probably cater to you - Both guys and girls.

We know GIRLS LOVE MAKEUP. Some may claim that makeup is their life, and they will NEVER leave their house without it. They wear makeup to dates, attract their boyfriends (most important factor! Lol).

demitotgeliebtschatzibkay.blogspot.com

But how many are actually willing or daring enough to face your other half WITHOUT makeup? (And when I mean without, I meant ALL natural.)

Yes, I have heard enough blah stories from GUYS that they love girls who are NATURAL, but how many of them are willing to accept how their girlfriends really look like beneath the makeup? Its saddening, but there ARE indeed guys - which I call them Jerks (with a capital "J") - dump their girlfriends after seeing their "original face".  

(I came across this interesting question which a girl had posted in Yahoo! Answers which I am sure most girls will share the same sentiments: Click Here )

So... Is beauty all within the makeup?

I will say YES and NO.

Speaking from a girl's perspective, I would say makeup is important to a certain extent. Some people don't pile on tremendous amount of makeup, they just want to look presentable. I mean, what's wrong with concealing blemishes and pimples? Come to think of it, its really demoralizing to have people stare at those ugly markings on your face. You can't deny it - It's a human nature and tendency to stare at a person's pimple(s) when you are speaking directly to him/her in the face. I'm sure some of you have been there and done that. *smiles* 

And of course, there are girls out there who put on so much makeup on their face that it backfires. Somehow.  Stuff such as falsies, eyeliner, double eyelid stickers, thick layers of foundation, super duper red lipstick, etc... Sounds familiar? (By the way, I HATE lip glosses. They plump up your lips like nobody's business!)

Yes, such makeup may make you look A-M-A-Z-I-N-G and bring you lots of head-turners on the streets, BUT I'm sure you will be a nervous wreck if your boyfriend tells you that he wants to see you without it.

Gettyimages

And questions will start to cloud your mind. 

"Will he mind my natural look?"

"Will he think I am ugly?"

"Will he dump me?"

Well, here's when I have my say:

If your guy truly loves you, he won't give a freaking damn of how you look like. You can look like an elephant or bamboo (sorry for my weird use of descriptions) but he will still shower you the same amount of attention and love. Guys who dump you for the wrong reasons are just hypocritical jerks who ain't worth your time. Stop sticking to a guy like that. Beauty is not only on the exterior, but the interior as well. Its undeniable that guys are getting increasingly realistic nowadays *grumbles*, but still, it doesn't change the fact that LOOKS shouldn't be a hindrance in a relationship.

Yet still, I DO have guy friends who told me that looks in a girl are important to them. And they will judge girls even before they get to know them as a person. (If you are one of those guys reading this, I'm sure you will feel a pang of guilt.)

It's childish to assume that looks are everything. Yes, this girl may look like the girl of your dreams, but how do you determine whether she will stay true to you? Beautiful girls are bound to get lots of attention, and I'm sure you are not the only guy who is on her mind. Ah, you get what I mean. :) If you want a true girlfriend, you have to learn how to accept what Mother Nature has given her.
