Tocco Tenero; Classics & Colors

It's always so hard to choose just one among the new bag arrivals... coz the new bags all look so good! I had a sneak preview of some of the new bags via email. And, this particular bag called out to me instantaneously. Read on to find out which bag I chose... 

Elissa Bag

Adriana Bag

Finally seeing these zesty bright colours of the season trend in the stores - neon pink, neon orange!

... teal, yellow...

AND lime green!

Super duper eye-catching colors yea! (;

If you're not into fun colors, I think these will be better choices? Tocco Tenero also has these lovely shaped bags, a pretty contrast of the navy with the suede leather. Perfect for work and the weekend!

More new bags. Oh, I like this shade of grey! The design is pretty simple, perfect for those who are not into fancy bags.

I love the purple, but the bag design is too simple for me.

More bags... :O

The more classic designs...

A closer look at 'em...

Literally spoilt for choices!

Unveiling my choice of bag...

ADRIANA Suede Bag

Material: Suede matched with Calf Leather

Hardware: Brass

Closure: Zipper

Available Colours: Black, Blue

ADRIANA Suede Bag retails for $229. I carry it wherever I go, coz it's simply so versatile. Well, this applies to all the bags I've chosen so far. And, you might have noticed that size does matter when choosing my bag. Apparently, my everyday bag needs to be roomy enough to carry my essentials, my (big) makeup pouch in particular. Color-wise, I opt for blue instead of the boring black. I definitely appreciate the little details of the bag, like the braided bag handle, multiple bag compartments. Hmm... I'll keep my fingers (and toes) crossed that I won't be caught in the rain carrying this bag... Suede and rain just don't go well together.

Scalp Detox Treatment @ Glitz Hairworkz

Last Sat, I had a scalp detox treatment @ Glitz Hairworkz.

PS: Thank you Glitz Hairworkz & Roy (360PR) for this wonderful experience!

Glitz Hairworkz

111 Somerset Road TripleOne Somerset #02-18/19/20

Glitz Hairworkz - The Team

"Glitz HairWorkz is Kelvin (Style Director)'s brainchild, together with 2 other partners who believes in creating value and beauty for clients and extending services with a disarming attitude that brings glitz and glamour."

Kelvin checked my scalp and told me I don't have any scalp issues, like dandruff etc. Hence, he recommended a scalp detox treatment for me. 

I had cappuccino, my caffeine fix for the day.

There are 3 steps to the treatment.

Step 1:

Apply ampoule (which contains Vitamin E to prevent hair loss), concentrating on the crown area where most people are having problem(s) with. To spread and absorb better, massage the scalp. Massaging the scalp helps in blood circulation. Leave on for 10 mins, then proceed on to Step 2.

I like that it contains all natural ingredients, no chemicals at all. Good for the scalp! The minty smell of the essential oils is pleasant, in my opinion. Well, not too strong and very soothing!

Step 2:

A special shampoo is being applied onto the scalp evenly and leave on for 5 mins to absorb before applying more for shampoo-ing. After shampoo-ing, a special conditioner is applied on the scalp. Leave on for awhile, then wash off. Do note that normal conditioners are not supposed to be applied on the scalp as the formula is too oily. If you do that long term, it will actually cause hair loss and clogged pores!

A synergy of essential oils: lavender, sage, rosemary, bergamot, eucalyptus, pine, azulene, geranium, melaleuca

Step 3:

This special scalp detox treatment product (Exence by Revivre Detoplus 2) works like a tonic to nourish the scalp. It helps prevent intoxication and has an excellent effect on the hair roots preventing hair loss. Say hello to clean & healthy scalp!

PS: I cannot and I didn't wash my hair for 2 days straight! :X

After the highly refreshing scalp detox treatment, Kelvin gave my hair a mini makeover. From boring straight to bouncy curls, I love the (temporary) curls! 

Long time no camwhore... so here's my current fave DP 

A sneak peek of my Tocco Tenero bag... gonna blog about it this week :D

LEADERS InSolution Pore Clinic Care 2 Step Kit

LEADERS InSolution Pore Clinic Care 2 Step Kit is the 1st hypo-allergenic nose pack with blackheads removal, sebum control and pore contraction effects. It is also a clinical care to clearly remove blackheads and excessive sebum without stripping off skin. Instead of charcoal, it contains morocco lava clay (pretty strong smell). It has 4x stronger waste adherence than charcoal. No paraben, artificial fragrance and pigment.

Dermatologist tested. Gentle enough for sensitive skin.

Like Leaders Clinic Sulfur Blackhead Suction Nose Pack, it consists of blackhead clinic sheets (x 10) + pore tightening serum (10ml).

I believe most of you are familiar with nose packs.

Simply wet your nose thoroughly after cleansing, then apply the nose pack. Make sure it adheres snugly on your nose. I usually leave it on for at least 15mins, making sure it's completely dry before removing. Remove it slowly and carefully.

The pore tightening serum is for soothing and tightening the pores instantly. It contains anti-acne vegetable complex with anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory effect, which controls excessive sebum effectively. 

This is to be applied evenly on the nose, after removing the nose pack. A tiny amount (pea-size) will suffice.

It effectively removes most of my whiteheads and blackheads. So far, it is the only nose pack which does not leave behind any residues after removal. Notice that my nose is kinda flaky in the 'before' photo? The pore tightening serum is really good for soothing and tightening the pores, I like! See my nose in the 'after' photo... noticeably smooth and not that dry anymore... and absolutely no greasy/sticky feeling at all.

The retail price is $15.90. Don't balk at the price. The fact that it comes with the pore tightening serum, makes it a sweet deal. Most importantly, it works!

LEADERS InSolution Pore Clinic Care 2 Step Kit is exclusively available at following Watsons outlets from 5th July – 1st Aug
