NEW: SK-II Facial Treatment Essence Limited Edition Festive Designs

Author: James Aw Yong

How do you describe an evening spent with SK-II Singapore Ambassador Rebecca Lim and SK-II? Simply put, AWESOME!

We were treated to an intimate SK-II #changedestiny Festive Party at VivoCity where SK-II Facial Treatment Essence Limited Edition Festive Designs were revealed.





Available in gorgeous hues of red, blue and green, the Suminagashi-inspired designs serve as a powerful reminder that anyone can paint their own path in the same way that simple ink and water can be transformed into a masterpiece, one drop at a time.





I had the pleasure of doing up a master piece lead by Singaporean artist, Keok Jiahui and my takeaway message was “You don’t have to always be in control, sometimes, all you have to do is to just go with the flow”.





If you need to know what is my favourite bottle among the three, it has got to be red. Grab a bottle of the limited edition Facial Treatment Essence (230ml) for your love ones if you are starting your Christmas shopping soon!

Review: Is Eye Cream Essential? – SK-II R.N.A Power Eye Cream

Author: James Aw Yong

I started my daily beauty regime inmy early 20s with cleanser and moisturizer ONLY. However, as I age, I realized that I need more products on my face to help me fight ageing.

M always tell me how delicate the skin around the eyes are and wrinkles tend to appear there first. I had quite a few lines around my eyes area. They made me look so old that I had to go for Botox to hid them.

If you don’t believe me, check out a picture of me and M below. Check out my wrinkles around my eyes and hers.

Botox can be really expensive and it is not a solution. Prevention is better than cure so I learnt that eye creams are very important. We all want to hide our age and not let our wrinkles reveal them, right?

I was introduced to SK-II R.N.A Power Eye Cream when it first launched in Singapore Changi Airport.

“According to SK-II, mid-20s is the turning point for eye aging and eyes tend to get 20% smaller over 15 years. The key reason for this is the lack of lengthwise and crosswise firmness around the eyes. With this, SK-II upgraded its STEMPOWER Eye Cream with two new ingredients to increase wrinkle resilience – Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4 and Chlorella Extrac. The new R.N.A.POWER Eye Cream is formulated with the unique Radical New Age Complex to improve lengthwise and crosswise firmness of skin around the eyes.”

The new anti-aging SK-II R.N.A. Power Eye Cream contains Radical New Age Complex which can help improve the skin firmness, reducing wrinkles, lines and even refining pores. Even though it is called a cream, it has a silky texture that glides on the skin easily. The cream gets absorbed really quickly into the skin as well.

We can all experience bigger and brighter looking eyes after 6 weeks of continuous usage. No need for needles or knives.

I have to work through the night on certain days and I don’t really get enough sleep. However, after I incorporated the eye cream into my regime, I don’t feel that my eyes are as tired looking as before. Sometimes, it looks bigger too. Oh ya, not to mention, when your eyes age, they get smaller due to sagging as well.

The R.N.A Power Eye Cream is an addition to the current SK-II anti-aging boutique- R.N.A Power Cream and R.N.A Power Essence.

Thank you SK-II for turning my facial clock around!

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 someone else’s career is not a good philosophy for any part of your life. But if you work with what you have got, and consistently stay with a range of products that work, which for me was SK-II, then I think you can totally change the results.”– Cate Blanchett


Notice the bottle she was holding in her hand? It is the latest Mid-Day Miracle Essence, which is also available in Mid-Night (Bottle in Black).



Celebrity Make Up Artist, Larry Yeo, gave us a demostration on how we can use the spray together with our cosmetics at the Singapore Fashion Tent right outside Ngee Ann City. Just so you know, SK-II is the official skincare partner for Singapore Fashion Week for the second year.



Chantana and I were amazed by the different products Mr. Larry Yeo used on the model – Wendy and how he dilute the cosmetics using the mist.



He left Wendy with a glowing skin using the essences and the new AurActivator CC Cream by SK-II.


I have personally tried the CC cream and I gotta say that I love it a lot! It gives off a very luminous effect and look as though my skin is at least 3 times more radiance than the days without it.






He also mentioned that he likes the Mid-Night Miracle Essence more because it gives off a minty scent which is more refreshing and it helps to perk him up.



SK-II also collaborated with the closing designer – Victoria Beckham for each of the model for a skin prep session before their hair and mekup just before they walk down the runway for her show.


“I think it’s all about using the right products, and these (SK-II) products are really really great. I was surprised when I started using them – how they make me feel, how they make my skin glow, feel fresh, and clean, and bright as well.” – Victoria Beckham.








It sure was honored being able to witness all of these happened and I thank everyone involved for the opportunity 🙂




Let’s wait for Singapore Fashion Week 2016 🙂 and may we expect more upcoming products from SK-II to aid in our glowing skin!!

I’ll let you know how I feel about the Mid-Day Miracle Essence after trying it!

SK-II Magic Ring Test

We never really had a skin analysis done before and we don’t know how good/bad our skin is. We took the opportunity to do the Magic Ring Test at the SK-II event last month!

Magic Ring Test is free. Visit them at their counters for an analysis too.

My skin age is only 18 (or 19, I can’t remember). YAYYYYYYYYY.

I think I need to take care of the spots (not visible yet but prone to spots according to the chart) most. Have to focus on that rather than firming. I tend to focus on firming more cause I don’t want saggy skin. Trust me. I am not as young as I look!

Look at all the areas that the machine has identified. I need to prevent this from happening!! 🙁

The test was done even before J had his first facial in his life.

And we seems to have the same problem! LOL. Speak of the similarities we have…

He was also introduced to SK-II Men range which he had been using diligently for the next few days after the analysis. Not bad!

With my Baby Xinyi~

All the MFP ladies~

Thank you SK-II for the hospitality and generosity! I hope the skin age will be 16 the next time I visit for a test again!!
