My sis just came back from her Taiwan trip, which means new beauty goodies for me :D She bought quite a lot of sheet masks (me like!)... surprisingly no makeup at all.

SexyLook Hello Kitty Masks

Platinum + White Rose Brightening Double Lifting, Pink Cherry Moisture Double Lifting, Amethyst Polyphenols Hydrating Double Lifting Mask.

cute!

***ingredient lists***

 

My Beauty Diary Masks

Chocolate Truffle, Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizing

***ingredient lists***

I only chose these few, since I've the others she bought. Wanna try 'em all soon! :P

 

I bought this Essence Nail Art Express Dry Drops coz it's just a fraction of the price of Seche Vite. I think it was $3.90 (8ml) if I remember correctly. Hope it works well...

 

The dark colored one (Anna Sui Lip Gloss R 550) looks not bad on me, me thinks :P

Here are the swatches of R 550 & C 302. They aren't too sticky, which sits comfortably on the lips. Pretty moisturizing, I would say. Ooo btw... they've the signature Anna Sui rose scent. Me loves!

 

Goodies I received for reviews and thru' random giveaways...

Talika Cream Booster, fake lashes, Peripera lippie, Mavala lip gloss set + nail color set, Sasatinnie new makeup products, Snail Cream (!!)

Stay tuned for the upcoming reviews! (:

These 6 transparent ultra-glittering topcoaters are pretty to wear on their own or over your favorite nail color.

I love 'em all! They sparkle and dazzle like nobody's business :P

Sparkling Blue

turquoise micro-glitters + orange-red and silver glitters + blue hexagon glitters

Very-very pretty! I don't think I've something like this... do I?

Sparkling Red

short gold strips + red and holographic glitters

Such a great attention-grabber, isn't it?!

Sparkling Gold

gold micro-glitters + fuchsia, orange-red and yellow-green glitters

Looks good on me... me thinks :X

Sparkling Violet

round blue and gold glitters + square violet glitters

Hmm... I think this needs to be applied over a nail color to look better?

 

Sparkling Silver

round glitters + hexagon holographic (medium-size) and silver (small-size) glitters

This has gotta be my favoritest in this glittery collection. Fyi, all were swatched on the same day except Sparkling Silver... 3 days later to be exact :D

 

Sparkling Bronze

green and bronze micro-glitters + bronze glitters + gold hexagon glitters

This is something unique in my nail polish stash, coz I don't usually fancy bronze colors. I like! Hmm... It doesn't photograph very well though >.<

 

For all swatches, I applied at least 3 coats each (with clear base and top coat).

Sparkling Gold, Sparkling Blue, Sparkling Bronze, Sparkling Red

As compared to the other colors, Sparkling Violet clearly looks more dispersed.

Sparkling Blue, Sparkling Bronze, Sparkling Red remained pretty intact with minimal tip wear (after 3 days).

That's all. Thanks for looking! (;

Blackmores Radiance™ Event

Not long ago, I attended a blogger event organized by Watsons and Blackmores.

The event was held at Cookyn Inc. It was quite a distant walk from the MRT station. I had a hard time finding the exact location, hence being late =.=

 

Introducing the new product...

The goodie bag.

Most of us do not realize that much of the ageing of our skin happens from the inside out. The use of anti-ageing skincare and facial treatments are only part of the solution to slow the signs of ageing. The skin needs to be nourished from within!

Blackmores is proud to announce the launch of Blackmores Radiance™ - a clinically proven, natural approach to anti-ageing and beauty.

Blackmores Radiance™ is a marine collagen and antioxidant-rich skin supplement for day and night use. Containing a combination of clinically-proven ingredients to provide 24 hour internal anti-ageing nourishment for the deeper layers of your skin, Blackmores Radiance™ will keep your skin looking healthy, naturally youthful and glowy.

When taken in combination, Blackmores Radiance™ day/night capsules:

• Are clinically proven to reduce fine lines and wrinkles as well as tighten pores
• Help decrease premature ageing effects of sun damage
• Visibly reduce uneven pigmentation and skin tone after 12 weeks
• Increase skin moisture and hydration
• Enhance skin elasticity
• Help maintain integrity and structure of the skin
• Assist with collagen production, skin regeneration and renewal

 

The active ingredient list.

Blackmores Radiance™ is available in leading pharmacies. The retail price is $123 for a box of 56 capsules (28 days & 28 nights).

So far, I've taken the supplements for consecutive 10 days/nights. I can't comment much on the efficacy as yet. A proper review will be up after 12 weeks.

Other than learning about the new product, we had a hands-on cooking session with a professional chef. We get to cook our own dinner and learn healthy recipes.

Everything is prepared nicely for us. The recipes are really quite easy, considering my "expertise" in cooking is instant noodles and eggs.
