Summer with #belif
Sponsored Summer almost here and I am definitely HATING the sunny weather because I prefer to stay fair and cold. I hate dark spots, freckles, harmful uv rays and whatever you can think of. I also think I am easily one of the few that has over 20 bottles of sunblock at home that I use concurrently because of the sun. It only take me 2-3 weeks to finish a bottle of sunblock!! Being a sun-hater and a belief lover, how can I ever miss a Summer Retreat with belief?! The event was held at Yoga Co. and yup, a yoga class was conducted for the beauty bloggers. Sadly, my…

Bourjois Paris
Sponsored When I first received an invitation from Bourjois Paris, I was thinking… “really? I haven’t seen their media event before”. The truth was, I was right! This was their first Blogger’s Party. The main highlight was its AQUA LAQUE series, which is a hybrid lipstick but I was guilty busy exploring all the cosmetics that evening. The place was a little dim so pardon me for the poor quality photos 🙁 AQUA LAQUE is an explosion of colors because it has very vibrant colors. I gave them a try and the texture was very watery. This hybrid lipsticks contains high concentration of water and nymph extract to moisturize your…

SK-II X Singapore Fashion Week
Last week, I blogged about the Google+ Live Hangout and I was really honored to be able to meet Cate Blanchett in person during the press conference. She had been using SK-II for 12 years!! If you’re interested in re-watching the Google+ Hangout, you can watch it here: https://goo.gl/OkttUR. The Global Ambassador and multiple Academy Award-winning actress is really stunning and humorous in person! It was almost a once in a life time opportunity! “I don’t like the word limited, I think you’ve got to work with what you got. And I think trying to look like someone else or trying to be like someone else, or trying to have…

The Face Shop Suncare (FAV!!)
Sponsored Weather has been really really crazy recently and I am seriously irritated!! I don’t want any freckles or pigmentations on my face. Neither do I want skin problems cause by the harmful UV from the sun. Sometimes I get so paranoid if sunblock is really sufficient. But seriously, what would I do without sunblock? It is the only staple thing I must have in my pouch. Even when I don’t make up, I can never do without sunblock. Some time back, The Face Shop sent me their best selling Suncare in the cutest way!! The entire press kit was so cute! It came like a beach – literally. I…

The Skin Pharmacy
Like what many would say impression is form even during the first few seconds of seeing and interacting with someone. I would say a good impression ensues a good healthy radiant facial skin! To be frank, this is the portion which I personally has been neglecting for many years till I meet Maybeline, who NEVER fails to emphasize the importance of upkeeping a good skin to me. HOWEVER! My efforts to stick loyally to one set of skin products has always thwarted as not many commercial skin care products are suited for my skin. By that, i mean there were cases where my skin will develop small red sensitive spots as a sign of…

[Bali] A trip to the “ZOO”
It’s back to my Bali posts again. So sorry for the delay cause I have been really really busy. It seems like all the events are coming together in May. — Bali Day 2. We started the day early as early as 8am after the first day (http://maybelinesim.sg/2015/04/26/bali-holiday-inn-express-holiday-resort/) because we booked a day trip for a day filled with water activities. The breakfast hours in Holiday Inn Express Kuta Square was 6am to 10am and with it being an express hotel, I expected lesser variety of food but I was quite surprised to see the food there. Since I was there for 4D3N, I had 3 chances of trying…

Wedding Photographs #jamesnmaybel
Sponsored Finally… I know how it feels like to be a bride in a gown. A photoshoot can be very very exhausting because you have to change into the different gowns (especially those with cancan). Both the wet and dry weather doesn’t help much because dry = ultra sunny and hot, and that means melting makeup and feeling sticky all over. If it’s wet, you will get smudge makeup or dirty/wet gowns. But but but…. a wedding shoot is a once in a lifetime opportunity for most of us. Clearly, it will be more than once for me because this is a collaboration haha. My advise is… if you’re getting…
