It is always nice of companies who truly appreciate us bloggers. Shiseido Masstige Brands' team is clearly one of the rare few. Well, the blog title says it all.

Some time back, a "Bloggers Appreciation Party" was held at Oasia Hotel Suite to thank us for our support. So sweet of 'em right? (:

The party also showcased the (many-many) award winning products from Za, Aqualabel, Tsubaki, Senka, Majolica Majorca and Ma Cherie!

The suite was soooooo beautifully decorated! 

It was like entering every girl's dream room - a vanity dressing table with countless beauty products... 

... a rose petal-laden bathroom with Ma Cherie hair products... aww...

Review: SkinBiotics Even+ Whiter

"Thanks" to my current health condition (sick for almost a week!), I finally have the chance to update my blog with review(s), event write-ups etc. And so, today's post is about my review on SkinBiotics Even+ Whiter, a breakthrough oral skin lightening formula that helps lighten skin tone, reduce blemishes and increase antioxidant defense.

SkinBiotics Even+ Whiter contains the novel GSH Tripeptide Complex with Glutathione that has been shown in clinical studies to help lighten skin tone in as early as *4 weeks of consumption. 

*Dermatologically tested on 60 Asian Woman and published on the Journal of Dermatology

Even+Whiter can be used alone or in conjunction with Reactiv 01 (this works for me ), 02 or 03 for enhanced skin regeneration.

This pretty lil' pink capsule contains GSH Tripeptide Complex & Vitamin C - 2 of nature's most powerful whitening anti-oxidants used widely in celebrity-style whitening treatment which are usually administered via injections. With recent science development, these two ingredients can now be orally consumed while producing similar efficacy on skin whitening.

Now, you can be naturally fairer without injections!

  • Naturally lighten skin tone
  • Inhibit melanin
  • Reduce blemishes
  • Enhance skin anti-oxidant defense


Dosage:
Take 1 capsule in the morning immediately after food with a full glass of water. For best effect, stay away from direct sunlight whilst on this treatment and consume continuously for at least 4 to 8 weeks.

I was sent 2 boxes of these skin-loving supplements - thank you, samplestore!

Each box contains 21 capsules, enough for 21-day consumption. 2 boxes = 42 capsules = 6-week supply

And... here's my review on SkinBiotics Even+ Whiter after consuming for 6 weeks. Hmm.. my skin tone is medium fair and rather dull to begin with. So needless to say, I was very-very excited to try out this new product!

I find that the capsule is quite easy to swallow though it is not that small. Just drink plenty of water will do. Like most capsules, it does not have any weird taste (at least to me). I could not see any effect initially... until after the 7th day I think... then I can see some results. My skin looks a lil' clearer and brighter, more radiant than before. That somehow make my skin appear fairer... slightly.

To me, beauty equates to having fair skin. Naturally, I was really happy to see results within just a week. After 6 weeks, I noticed that those super irritating blemishes were kind of diminished. Well, I gotta say that SkinBiotics Even+ Whiter does work for me... so it most likely will work for you too! Never try, never know (:

SkinBiotics Even+ Whiter retails for $89 at Watsons.

Introducing my new hair sponsor - Matsui Hair Studio!

About 2 weeks ago, I headed for my very first hair appointment at Matsui Hair Studio (my new hair sponsor!). Thanks Zerika for the recommendation (:

Matsui Hair Studio is founded by director, Matsui Akiyoshi, who is trained both locally and in Japan to bring the "Tokyo-street" style onto clients in Singapore.

It is conveniently located at level 3 of Bugis+ (#03-15).

The hair studio is well-lit, with a simple and clean-cut look. It has a really nice warm, comfy and cosy atmosphere.

The specially designed outdoor theme is perfect for customers to relax in a different kind of environment while enjoying a cup of hot coffee/tea.

They also have a comics corner for customers who love to read comics. Fret not, they do have 'up-to-date' magazines too.

Just look at the terribly dry and frizzy condition of my hair especially the brittle hair-ends... it does need S.O.S.! My appointed hairstylist, Dickson told me that my hair-ends were pretty damaged. And so, trimming them was inevitable.

Anyway, I just let him decide on the hair color and style. He started off with cutting my long fringe into bangs, which was what I had in mind. Well, great minds think alike! I also briefly mentioned to him that I want to keep my hair long and my hair color cannot be too bright due to work... blahblahblah...

Fyi, Matsui Hair Studio uses products from Arimino - a high quality reputable brand from Tokyo, Japan.

Some parts of my hair were bleached before adding fun colors to them.

Ooo... I kinda like how my hair looked after bleaching. heh.

Customers can get the Caretrico Privy Home Care series to enjoy the quality treatment at home.

If you want moisturized hair with a silky finish, do get the Moist Sleek variant.

If you prefer volumized hair with an airy finish, you should get the Airy Bounce variant.

If you have coarse/unruly hair, the Slim Through variant will help to smoothen the hair to become easily manageable.

The after effects of using the salon-use Moist Sleek Shampoo and Treatment!

No doubt, I was very satisfied with how my hair looks and feels after the hair pampering session... soooooo much healthier and no more frizzy-looking hair! Simply love the color contrast and vibrant hues on my hair, especially the purple and pink peeking out from within 

Super duper loveeeeee!~ 

Here's a pic with my stylish-looking hairstylist, Dickson (: Many thanks for making my hair look soooooo good! Do look for him when you visit Matsui Hair Studio. He is super friendly and meticulous!

Receive tons of compliments on my new hair color/style! With my bangs and new hair color, I look at least 10 years younger :x 

Once again, thank you Matsui Hair Studio, Apple and Dickson!
