<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="line-height: 21px;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">*updates 17th Feb, this treatment was done last November, client only approved the draft recently. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">(<span style="color: red;"><b>Warning:</b><b> </b>Some of the following images are of moderate graphic nature and might give your goosebumps.</span>)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Finally, I'm down to my last blogpost with<a href="http://www.nu-reflections.com/"> Nu-Reflections</a>, as much as I enjoyed blogging about it, everything has to come to a closure. In this blogpost, I'll be covering mostly on laugh lines, probably the most frightening issue I've face. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span> <br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I always thought ageing only focus mostly crows feet and MRT track on the forehead but I was so so wrong, When I was first introduced to laugh lines, I can't help but taken aback by the significant changes to my features. It was like one fine day I woke up and look in the mirror and discovered this faint impression residing around the corners of my mouth. Sad to say it never went away, I was constantly fretting over that 2 lines overtime. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">When Dr Ivan Tan decides to insert some fillers on the laugh lines, I was more than happy to oblige! Finally I can ease my worries at least for another 9 months! Like another fillers on other areas, injecting is mandatory and <span style="color: black; line-height: normal;">moulding the area into desirable shape. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Admiring the after pictures Dr Tan took of me. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 21px;">But at the end of the day, nothing beats non-invasive procedures like Fillers, Ultra V-Lift and Botox, these are the treatment that could keep you happy for at least 9 long months. </span></span></div>
<div>

<div style="line-height: normal;">
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20HealthBeauty/MFP%20Fillers/mfphw_nureflections_dblchin_5_zpsc5a5919b.jpg.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;"><img alt=" photo mfphw_nureflections_dblchin_5_zpsc5a5919b.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20HealthBeauty/MFP%20Fillers/mfphw_nureflections_dblchin_5_zpsc5a5919b.jpg" /></span></a></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Remember I first talked about my first blogpost on the extra</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">1/2 </span><b>Juvederm</b> fillers? ahhh now you know the remaining syringe of goodness is used for my laugh liners!</div>
<div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">

<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Aside from that, to lift and firm up my chin Dr Tan injected botox on either side of my jawline. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Botox is painless for many but I do felt a pinch of ant bite sensation whenever the needle is injected onto the desired area. Never mind the little </span>pox that emerges over here, it will subside over a few hours. <span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20HealthBeauty/MFP%20Fillers/mfphw_nureflections_dblchin_15_zpsf7f4c1dd.jpg.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;"><img alt=" photo mfphw_nureflections_dblchin_15_zpsf7f4c1dd.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20HealthBeauty/MFP%20Fillers/mfphw_nureflections_dblchin_15_zpsf7f4c1dd.jpg" /></span></a><br />
When it comes to <b>Botox Treatment</b>, patient is a virtue.<br />
Time is needed to tighten the area thus the result won't be immediate, also a follow up is needed in a weeks time so as to further access the 'patient's' condition.<br />

Double chin is a real annoyance, as a Make Up Artist there are so many ways I could offer, let me list some examples for you:</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 21px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><u>Ways to conceal your Double Chin</u></b></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 21px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>#1- Contouring and highlight</b></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 21px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The best form of camouflage is the contour palette. With that you can darken unflattering areas and highlight areas you want it to pop with light swiping motion.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 21px;">
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20makeup/Rachel%20K%20CC%20Cream%20NEW/DSC00013.jpg.html" style="line-height: normal; text-align: start;" target="_blank"><span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;"><img alt=" photo DSC00013.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20makeup/Rachel%20K%20CC%20Cream%20NEW/DSC00013.jpg" height="640" width="492" /></span></a></div>
<div style="line-height: 21px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 21px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>#2- Playing with Angles</b></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 21px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Ok this only works on still pictures, playing with angles is very important when posing for the camera. Find your most comfortable angle and start practicing selfies. Don't worry if it doesn't work the first few times, I'm sure you'll get it somehow.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 21px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20LOTD/lotd%20w%20Limecrime/DSC00271.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC00271.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20LOTD/lotd%20w%20Limecrime/DSC00271.jpg" height="400" width="265" /></a><a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20makeup/Bobbie%20brown%20LOTD/DSC00120_1.jpg.html" style="text-align: right;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC00120_1.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20makeup/Bobbie%20brown%20LOTD/DSC00120_1.jpg" height="400" width="260" /></a></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 21px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 21px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>#3-Thick Brows</b></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 21px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Ok this has nothing to do with concealing of Double chin but it will take some attention away from that bulging fat right where it disgust you most. A good set of brows frames the face well, so be sure to keep them full yet subtle (in shade/tone) so it will make you look younger. Babies(usually has fuller brows) look cute with double chin, so perhaps that'll work on you.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 21px;">
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20LOTD/Denim%20Embroidered%20Dress/DSC00115.jpg.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;"><img alt=" photo DSC00115.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20LOTD/Denim%20Embroidered%20Dress/DSC00115.jpg" height="640" width="402" /></span></a></div>

</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 21px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>#4-Face Lifting Cream</b></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 21px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Face lifting cream usually takes away the water retention, it don't necessary burn those fats under your chin but instead of suffering with a puffy face especially during mornings, why not try this emergency fix?</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 21px;">
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20skincare/Bio%20essence%20Vface%20Challenge/DSC00017.jpg.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;"><img alt=" photo DSC00017.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20skincare/Bio%20essence%20Vface%20Challenge/DSC00017.jpg" height="424" width="640" /></span></a><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 21px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>#5- Facercise</b></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 21px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Ok this is highly recommended for the exercise junkies, facercise basically means exercising your face giving all the muscles a good workout. The very basic exercise involves lifting your face up (like diagram shown) until you feel the tension for a good 10 seconds, relax and repeat. 10 mins a day should be suffice. </span></div>
<div style="line-height: 21px;">

<div style="line-height: 21px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 21px;">At the end of the day, nothing offers a more substantial result than non-invasive treatments like <b>Fillers, Ultra-Vlift</b> and <b>Botox</b>. Not only the results are significant, they also kept me looking good for at least 9 good months. I'm not expecting to look totally different from the </span></span><span style="line-height: 21px;">original 'me' but I'm glad with the help of these treatment I could enhance certain point of my features making them looked more structured and defined. It definitely helps to boost my self-confidence too. </span><br />
<span style="line-height: 21px;">Aside from saying that I still embrace my own beauty, in short I'm still me :D</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 21px;"><br />
</span> <br />
<span style="line-height: 21px;">My journey with Nu-Reflections is a fulfilling one, not only I get to learn the aspects behind these treatments I get to experience them myself too. </span><br />
<span style="line-height: 21px;">With that I would like to thank once again Dr Ivan Tan And Bianca from <a href="http://www.myfatpocket.com/">MFP</a> for giving me a chance to improve the appearance of my face. </span><br />

Hellos,</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
Lets talk about part2 of my treatment with <a href="http://www.nu-reflections.com/medical_aesthetic/medical_aesthetic.html">Nu.Reflections</a> Medical Aesthetics. This blogpost I'll be covering the very famous Korea Ultra V-lift that took the world by storm.</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
So whats Korean ultra V-lift?</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
It is a skin-tightening procedure that involves fine (needle) threads that are commonly used in general surgery. It helps to tighten, firm, and sculpt the face back in shape. </div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></div>
<div>
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20HealthBeauty/MFP%20Fillers/UltraVlift.jpg.html" style="font-family: Times; line-height: normal;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo UltraVlift.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20HealthBeauty/MFP%20Fillers/UltraVlift.jpg" /></a></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">(image Source: <a href="https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/430854_250888471657658_338124272_n.jpg">https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/430854_250888471657658_338124272_n.jpg</a>)</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
I'm privilege to be one of the few who received this aesthetic procedure from Nu-Reflections, aside from that it was done in a short span of time (approx 10 mins-exclude numbing). Ultra V-lift can be applied on many areas: on the body and face including the neck, nose, eye corners, cheeks, neck. forehead and nose.<br />
<br />
However, this time round Dr Tan decides to target on my first world problem : my double chin.<br />
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20HealthBeauty/MFP%20Fillers/mfphw_nureflections_dblchin_8_zpsd0bd70de.jpg.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: black;"><img alt=" photo mfphw_nureflections_dblchin_8_zpsd0bd70de.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20HealthBeauty/MFP%20Fillers/mfphw_nureflections_dblchin_8_zpsd0bd70de.jpg" /></span></a></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
Unlike fillers, this requires a little more pain tolerance, thus my chin was numbed 20 mins beforehand therefore explains that flap of cling wrap under that area.</div>
</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; text-align: center;">
<br />
Inspecting my newly done fillers while waiting for the numbing to take effect. </div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20HealthBeauty/MFP%20Fillers/mfphw_nureflections_dblchin_9_zpsbc695466.jpg.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: black;"><img alt=" photo mfphw_nureflections_dblchin_9_zpsbc695466.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20HealthBeauty/MFP%20Fillers/mfphw_nureflections_dblchin_9_zpsbc695466.jpg" /></span></a><br />
<br />
Getting ready to brace myself for multiple surgical jab. </div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20HealthBeauty/MFP%20Fillers/mfphw_nureflections_dblchin_12_zps57702dee.jpg.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: black;"><img alt=" photo mfphw_nureflections_dblchin_12_zps57702dee.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20HealthBeauty/MFP%20Fillers/mfphw_nureflections_dblchin_12_zps57702dee.jpg" /></span></a></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<center>
</center>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What is needed to be done is, threads are inserted into the skin to stimulate fibroblasts. Collagen will then be stimulated and activated till the embedded thread is completely absorbed.<br />
I would say even with numbing cream, this treatment is not a painless procedure. Although tolerable, it hurts slightly more than fillers and Botox treatment. If you scroll down to the next video, you can see a needles inserted simultaneously, this is to aggravate and stimulate collagen growth.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black;"><a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20HealthBeauty/MFP%20Fillers/mfphw_nureflections_dblchin_10_zpsaabd1799.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo mfphw_nureflections_dblchin_10_zpsaabd1799.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20HealthBeauty/MFP%20Fillers/mfphw_nureflections_dblchin_10_zpsaabd1799.jpg" /></a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Here's a more detailed video of the procedure. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/CuHCHVg8JnM" width="640"></iframe><br />
<br />
If you need tips on Before and During procedure please refer to my last blogpost (link at beginning of blogpost) on fillers is pretty much the same. Except you need to filter a little more waiting time for the numbing cream to take effect.<br />
<br />
As for the <b>After</b> <b>Procedure</b>, do take note of the following:<br />
Although there is no pain felt after treatment, your skin will feel slightly numb so do not be alarmed if you suddenly lost the feeling of your nerves.<br />
That there will be brusing after treatment, You can take a look at the screen shots I filmed with NOC for their last year's video "<a href="http://youtu.be/4_cnDm1KH6c">Ying Yang Twins</a>" This was shot 2 days after my procedure and the bruising shown onscreen is pretty obvious so do take note on that.<br />
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20HealthBeauty/MFP%20Fillers/brusing.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo brusing.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20HealthBeauty/MFP%20Fillers/brusing.jpg" /></a><br />
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20HealthBeauty/MFP%20Fillers/Brusing2.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo Brusing2.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20HealthBeauty/MFP%20Fillers/Brusing2.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Other than the pain factor there is absolutely nothing to complain about towards Ultra V-lift. The result is significant (also with the help of fillers) as you can see below.<br />
The chin is more defined and sharp and that extra flap of baby fat is less visible. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I definitely recommend Ultra V-lift to anyone who wants a more defined and sculpted face.<br />
Thanks to Nu-reflections for this treatment, do stay tune for my last blogpost for treatment of laugh lines!<br />

</center>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Before I start my review, hello Everybardy!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Xin Nian Kuai le, Gong Xi Gong Xi! Hope your pocket is full of money, 财源滚滚!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wanted to talk about this amazing CC cream from <a href="https://www.rachelkcosmetics.com/">Rachel K</a> for the longest time but the editing of pictures just didn't happen until now :P *lazing around*</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been using this on my clients for a while, mixing them with my existing cream foundation from Kryolan and I have to say I really enjoy the texture of the product. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20makeup/Rachel%20K%20CC%20Cream%20NEW/DSC00002.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC00002.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20makeup/Rachel%20K%20CC%20Cream%20NEW/DSC00002.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The New Rachel K CC Renew comes in 3 shades, Very light, Light and Medium. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The most common shade that I use is probably light (even if my client has slightly darker skin tone), it matches the colours of almost all my clients! What an awesome fit. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20makeup/Rachel%20K%20CC%20Cream%20NEW/DSC00003.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC00003.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20makeup/Rachel%20K%20CC%20Cream%20NEW/DSC00003.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20makeup/Rachel%20K%20CC%20Cream%20NEW/DSC000051.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC000051.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20makeup/Rachel%20K%20CC%20Cream%20NEW/DSC000051.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are some swatches, the texture is pretty runny but it gives a decent coverage. With the combination of my Kyrolan cream foundation, it gives a flawless finish to the user, mostly brides. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20makeup/Rachel%20K%20CC%20Cream%20NEW/DSC00006.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC00006.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20makeup/Rachel%20K%20CC%20Cream%20NEW/DSC00006.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's a before and after comparison by using Rachel K CC Cream Renew Alone. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've made used of all 3 shades on different points of my face, watch out for the last pic of this post. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The reason why I'm looking paler than usual is because I only have CC cream all over my face and nothing else, with eyeshadow and blusher it'll tell a different story, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20makeup/Rachel%20K%20CC%20Cream%20NEW/DSC00010.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC00010.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20makeup/Rachel%20K%20CC%20Cream%20NEW/DSC00010.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One of my favourite tool for application, the beauty blender. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20makeup/Rachel%20K%20CC%20Cream%20NEW/DSC00011.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC00011.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20makeup/Rachel%20K%20CC%20Cream%20NEW/DSC00011.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
From here you can see a clear illustrated digram of where I apply my shades, obviously the lighter shade goes on the high points of my my face and the darker shades goes to the deeper areas to give a nice contour. However, when you blend them all out it gives an impeccably smooth finish. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Hi Dblchinis!<br />
<br />
I'm sure you have come across this website called<b><a href="http://sea.taobao.com/"> Taobao</a></b>, well even you have not visited the site I'm pretty affirm that you would have heard of it somewhere somehow. Incase you haven't notice, they already long imprinted their brand name by posting advertisements on our local taxis way before they made their official presence in Singapore, I seen it for myself several times on the road.<br />
<br />
Taobao is an amazing shopping portal, is a heaven for people like me who hate crowds, traffics and walking. Also a luxury to be shopping in my jammies.<br />
<br />
However, shopping at Taobao can be tons of headache especially if you are not well versed in chinese.<br />
So a basic knowledge of mandarin is a must in order to start your journey with Taobao.<br />
<br />
Now that they have a website cater to the South East Asia Market, shopping with Tabao is an easier than ever task. All you need to go is get your butt, sorry erm, 'mouse' right over here <a href="http://sea.taobao.com/">http://sea.taobao.com/</a> and you'll discover this icon that says "<a href="http://www.taobao.com/market/sea/howtobuy.php?spm=a214x.6760217.991146345.29.j7sSWM">How to buy Guide</a>"<br />
Click on it and it will lead you to a very addictive, no turning back shopping experience.<br />
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2014%20shopping/Taobao/ScreenShot2014-01-29at62513pm.png.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo ScreenShot2014-01-29at62513pm.png" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2014%20shopping/Taobao/ScreenShot2014-01-29at62513pm.png" /></a><br />
<br />
Here are the instructions on how to <a href="http://reg.taobao.com/member/new_register.jhtml?spm=a2145.5765625.1000504.3.xKEDZT&_lang=en&_regfrom=TB_OVERSEA">Register</a> and basic guide to start your shopping.<br />
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2014%20shopping/Taobao/ScreenShot2014-01-29at120735pm.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo ScreenShot2014-01-29at120735pm.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2014%20shopping/Taobao/ScreenShot2014-01-29at120735pm.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Once you have successfully registered your username, you can start searching for items that you may or may not need or simply looking for a way to squander your money. Locate the search bar and start typing away.<br />
You can choose to type in english but it will limit down to certain searches, the best bet is use a <a href="http://translate.google.com/">Google Translator </a>to convert your (english) searches to chinese and paste it in the bar given.<br />
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2014%20shopping/Taobao/ScreenShot2014-01-29at63310pm.png.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo ScreenShot2014-01-29at63310pm.png" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2014%20shopping/Taobao/ScreenShot2014-01-29at63310pm.png" height="54" width="640" /></a><br />
<br />
Because there are thousands of merchants around, sometimes the item/ product title (they called them 宝贝) is different from its description (in terms of colour, model, size). In order to find out more, you probably need to speak to the seller regarding a particular item. Thus a way to communicate with them is through 'Ali Wang Wang' 阿里旺旺. You can download this icon from the main page.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2014%20shopping/Taobao/Icon.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo Icon.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2014%20shopping/Taobao/Icon.jpg" height="200" width="200" /></a><br />
<br />
And my conversation with the seller goes like this:<br />
here you can see my long list of communication history with different merchants lol!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2014%20shopping/Taobao/ScreenShot2014-01-29at34855pm.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo ScreenShot2014-01-29at34855pm.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2014%20shopping/Taobao/ScreenShot2014-01-29at34855pm.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
After you have confirmed your item, you can choose to add them to cart 加入购物车.<br />
when you are ready to pay (you may consolidate a few merchants before footing the bill) please click on 结算 under Cart 购物车 section, once you click on that you are through to the parcel forwarding page.<br />
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2014%20shopping/Taobao/ScreenShot2014-01-29at65154pm.png.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo ScreenShot2014-01-29at65154pm.png" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2014%20shopping/Taobao/ScreenShot2014-01-29at65154pm.png" /></a><br />
<br />
Now you need to key in your address and choose 海外 Singapore/新加坡 to activate parcel forwarding. There will be a few parcel forwarder to choose from, my default forwarder is 4PX.<br />
Do take note that different <a href="http://www.taobao.com/go/chn/transit/index/eng.php?spm=a214x.6760217.991146357.3.YTvgNt">forwarder has different requirements</a> e.g., maximum item load/volumetric restrictions, so please take the time to find out and read before purchasing your items.<br />
I wouldn't want you to purchase something and in the end is stuck some place where the forwarder refuses to freight your stuff out.<br />
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2014%20shopping/Taobao/ScreenShot2014-01-29at65159pm.png.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo ScreenShot2014-01-29at65159pm.png" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2014%20shopping/Taobao/ScreenShot2014-01-29at65159pm.png" /></a><br />
<br />
Now lets proceed to payment:<br />
<center>
</center>
<b>*NOTE* This payment is not inclusive of Freight forwarding/shipping charges, it will be charged separately (Charges starts from S$8 1st kg onwards)</b><br />
There are a few methods to pay your purchase, major credit cards are accepted <u>however</u> there might be a surcharge on top of your total purchases. To save on extra expenses, you can choose to pay by Alipay purchase card instead with no extra/hidden charges!<br />
You can purchase them from AXS station, look out for this logo when choosing options for Alipay.<br />
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2014%20shopping/Taobao/ScreenShot2014-01-29at84511pm.png.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo ScreenShot2014-01-29at84511pm.png" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2014%20shopping/Taobao/ScreenShot2014-01-29at84511pm.png" height="80" width="640" /></a><br />
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2014%20shopping/Taobao/ScreenShot2014-01-29at83934pm.png.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo ScreenShot2014-01-29at83934pm.png" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2014%20shopping/Taobao/ScreenShot2014-01-29at83934pm.png" /></a><br />
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2014%20shopping/Taobao/ScreenShot2014-01-29at83942pm.png.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo ScreenShot2014-01-29at83942pm.png" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2014%20shopping/Taobao/ScreenShot2014-01-29at83942pm.png" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
After your payment is through, you can proceed to your purchased item section 已买到的宝贝 under 我的淘宝option to track your order.<br />
<b>*Impt* Makeup sure this green button 转运订单 appears, if not your order is invalid and you may need to ask for a refund and redo your order. </b><br />
Also to track your order you need to click 查看物流, if your purchases have reached the warehouse of your forwarder and you have registered your mobile number with Taobao, you will received a SMS from them that your order is at the warehouse and you may proceed to make freight payment<br />
This is a great chance to use Alipay once again because is so convenient, from order to shipping you just need to deduct the points you have credited in your alipay account. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/ScreenShot2014-01-29at84053pm.png.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo ScreenShot2014-01-29at84053pm.png" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/ScreenShot2014-01-29at84053pm.png" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
When your transaction is successful, it will show the following 转运交易成功~</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2014%20shopping/Taobao/ScreenShot2014-01-29at34724pm.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo ScreenShot2014-01-29at34724pm.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2014%20shopping/Taobao/ScreenShot2014-01-29at34724pm.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are the updates I've received from taobao or rather my freight forwarder, from arrival of goods to warehouse and delivery to my designated location.<br />
It will take about 4-6 working days to from freight confirmation to receipt of items. As for the courier 快递 timeframe, it all depends on the merchants, whether they are quick enough to send out your items the next day. You can always drop them a question/s using Ali Wang Wang. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2014%20shopping/Taobao/Photo29-1-1440933pm.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo Photo29-1-1440933pm.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2014%20shopping/Taobao/Photo29-1-1440933pm.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now for the exciting part, my shopping loots!<br />
<br />
This time round I didn't managed to purchase a lot of stuff because previously I have already ordered few thousand dollars worth of household stuff (sofas, recliner, punching bag. etc. etc) for my friend's new house using my husband's commercial shipper (This is deemed confidential, sorry I can't reveal)<br />
<br />
Anyways, here is the item that I've purchased, a set of Hot Rollers!<br />
Link: <a href="http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=15837068631">http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=15837068631</a></div>

<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2014%20shopping/Taobao/DSC00001.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC00001.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2014%20shopping/Taobao/DSC00001.jpg" /></a><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
For full set it cost Rmb 40.00 consisting of the following items:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
(exclusive of shipping/courier fee Rmb10.00 charged by merchant) <span style="color: red;">OMG! SGD$10!!!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
- 1 Roller Base 单平低座</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-9 large rollers 大卷 + 7 medium rollers 个小卷 (total 16)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-20 clips 发夹</div>
<br />
It comes with a instruction manual to help guide you on achieving desired curls.<br />
The angmo standard really quite decent, I'm glad see no words like 'foo<u>d</u>wear' or 'Accident <span style="color: red;">Porn</span> Area' </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
What I love about this set of rollers is, is so small and compact it fits perfectly into my mini makeup case! Space constrain is always a problem for me when I go out for assignments, glad I can just fit this entire bag into the small corner of my train case. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
*Note* Usually china products comes with a 2 pin plug so is advisable to get a universal adaptor(you can get them at any hardware store) to go along.<br />

Another set of hair product, usually my purchases bought from taobao are for the sake of my clients.<br />
<br />
In this box it consist of 2 items from the same merchant and here goes:<br />
#1 Heat resistant Gloves <a href="http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z09.5.0.0.jPaAFy&id=16972007361">http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z09.5.0.0.jPaAFy&id=16972007361</a><br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Heated gloves comes with a few options, I chose the Rmb 12.00 set (S$2.40) which consist of:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-1 set of heat resistant glove</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-2 pirated Toni and Guy hair clips</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The reason why I'm getting another glove I think is because the last time round I ordered from this bugger the same glove and it never came, probably out of guilt he/she decides to send me 2 this time round. </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
I yet to try the gloves out but from my visual judgement, it feels really artificial despite the decent review over at the website. Gosh I need to try them out soon. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2014%20shopping/Taobao/DSC00015.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC00015.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2014%20shopping/Taobao/DSC00015.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Sames goes for the Volume styler, is suppose to create a looser and more volumized hairstyle.<br />
From the pictures over at the website, it seems like a breeze to style and volume up shoulder length and up hairstyles. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2014%20shopping/Taobao/DSC00016.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC00016.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2014%20shopping/Taobao/DSC00016.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
There is this button that releases the white column of the volume styler creating a gap to fit the hair in. </div>

5 temperature for adjustments.<br />
Once I figure out how to use this I'll do a review on that,<br />
<br />
Once again, product comes with a 2 pin-plug so be sure to get hold of your universal adaptor. </div>

<br />
The final item that I've got from a merchant is lashes! Again these are meant for my clients:<br />
There are so many lashes to choose from, so I shall paste the merchant's link instead:<br />
<a href="http://beautymagic.taobao.com/shop/view_shop.htm?spm=a1z0b.7.0.0.NoZac5&user_number_id=49278726">http://beautymagic.taobao.com/shop/view_shop.htm?spm=a1z0b.7.0.0.NoZac5&user_number_id=49278726</a><br />
<br />
Hiyo, I made a blunder on this, I keep on thinking the prices are for 10 pairs of lashes and up but no, every price you see on the link is only for 1 pair of lash, so in short I'm actually paying and average(those lash I've bought ranges from rmb5.90 to rmb9 per pair) of Rmb7 (S$1.40) for 1 pair of lash, that is quite costly in my opinion. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2014%20shopping/Taobao/DSC00025.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC00025.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2014%20shopping/Taobao/DSC00025.jpg" /></a><br />
However the quality is not too bad, decent but not up to my business standard. At the end of the day I still prefer authentic taiwan lashes.<br />
<br />
This is a dupe of a taiwan lash that I've bought recently but the quality is no where close to the ones I'm looking at. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Is been a great 6 months with <a href="http://www.purerskin.com/">Purer Skin</a>, I've been diligently using their skincare and my skin has made tremendous improvement since. Is hard to imagine it is actually possible to incorporate pure Birdnest into my daily regiment.<br />
Among all my current favourite is the <span style="text-align: start;">Purer Skin Crème Cleanser, it not only gives my skin the needed moisture after cleansing it actually brightens the skin surface! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<i>Look at all the goodies I've received for the past 6 months</i><br />
<br />
Purer Skin is definitely product for youth extension, it showers the skin with so much love and attention, helping to nourish and smooth my skin texture. I can't be more thankful for that radiant look I carry on my face nowadays. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div>
Aside from feeding the skin, Purer Skin came up with their newly launch product for consumption!<br />
Introducing:<br />
<br />
<b>Bird’s Nest EGF Beauty Drink</b><br />
<b>Bird’s Nest EGF Day/Night Beauty Jellies</b><br />
<br />
To tell you the truth, both products taste nothing like conventional collagen drink/jellies, they are filled with yummy goodness that taste great! And best of all, the key ingredient contains Pure Concentrated Bird's nest.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://purerskin.com/purer-skin-birds-nest-egf-beauty-drink"><b>Bird’s Nest EGF Beauty Drink</b> </a></div>
</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Bird’s Nest EGF Beauty Drink </i><i>S$30.00</i><i> is available in a mini carton that contains 6 bottles of 50ml drink. </i><br />
<br />
Formulated into Lychee and pomegranate flavour, Purer Skin EGF is one of the tastiest beauty drinks I have ever came across.<br />
Not only it does contain <b>Pure Bird's nest</b>, it also carries key ingredients like: <b>France Ceramide</b> <i>that keep skin moisturised naturally</i>, <b>Astaxhanthin</b><i> which keeps the skin young</i>, <b>Royal Jelly</b> <i>for skin renewal, scar and wound healing</i> and <b>Acerola Extract </b>to improve skin tone, heal sun damaged skin.<br />
Instead of looking at this as a routine drink, I see it as a daily indulgence. It is like having the perks to enjoy ice-cream everyday except zero ounce of sinfulness.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Product actually looks like this, very similar to those flavoured canned lychees except is all healthy goodness. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
Key Benefits to<u> Purer Skin EGF Beauty Drink</u>:<br />
<ol>
<li>Cell repair and improve skin elasticity</li>
<li>Naturally moisturise skin from inside</li>
<li>Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) encourages natural collagen production</li>
</ol>
It has more of the lychee than the pomegranate flavour and because it tasted so refreshing, I considered this perk-me-up drink.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Bird’s Nest EGF Day/Night Beauty Jellies S$30.00</i><i> is available in a box 5 day and 5 night sachets (10 sachets)</i><br />
<div>
<i><br />
</i></div>
I've never come across a Day and Night Jelly, I believe Purer Skin is one of the first.<br />
<br />
Ok to start off I love eating Jelly, whenever I shop at local supermarket I will never fail to visit the section containing jellies. As good as it taste, most jellies (for leisure bites) actually contains artificial flavouring which is least healthy for the body.<br />
<br />
So Purer Skin came up their own version of Jellies that is yummy and beneficial, I'm thinking why go for the ones at the supermarkets where it can only satisfy my cravings when I can chew on something that helps improve my overall well being (and also satisfy my cravings)?<br />
<br />
Every sachet is pack in a foil strip that is easy to tear apart, no more dirtying your scissors just to get them opened.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Bird's Nest EGF Beauty Jelly comes in 2 different flavours, the <u>Day Jelly in Bird's Nest and Granny Smith Apple </u>and the <u>Night Jelly in Bird's Nest and Juicy Peach </u>.<br />
<br />
The Key Ingredient of both Jellies are pretty much the same (<b>Purer Source Bird’s NestTM</b> Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) for skin cell regeneration and repair, <b>Vitamin C </b>to encourage natural production of collagen, <b>Biotin</b> for natural glow and to reduce wrinkles) except the <b>Day Jelly</b> contains <b>Apple Juice</b> that helps to reduce appearance of wrinkles and <b>Night Jelly </b>contains <b>Carotene </b>for skin renewal and regeneration.<br />
<br />
Key Benefits:<br />
<br />
<u>Purer Skin EGF <b>Day </b>Beauty Jelly</u><br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>Radiant skin</li>
<li>Wrinkle-free skin</li>
<li>Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) encourages natural collagen production</li>

Hi's,</center>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For many years I've been haunted by this dark truth regardless of my petite frame. Standing at 153cm weighing about nearly 43kg, I'm considerably small for my size... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But, there an open secret that everyone knows; is call it the Dblchin (duh!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Surviving with a short and receding chin is not easy, it affects greatly on both my appearance as well as my morale.<br />
For example, I'm wary of to looking down at something afraid that someone will spot me with that extra lump of fat sticking out from the side (then maybe that someone won't ask for my number anymore),<br />
<br />
I also have to arch my face forward for pictures, if not this will become my worse nightmare. </div>

</i> Sorry I need to protect my friend's identity because we both look horrendous. You can see the layer of fats underneath my chin which is unbelievable for a girl of such weight.<br />
My friend Ryan, from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Nightowlcinematics">Night Owl Cinematics</a> mentioned that if I send this photo in for casting, he will make sure I become famous for the wrong reason.*Kill me please*<br />
But hey I'm sure I look like a chio last time, see how confident I used to flash my crooked teeth!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<br />
As I got older, my makeup skills improved tremendously (although still look somewhat buang here) but no matter how good it gets there are some things you just can't correct. </div>

No need to censor this person, is just my husband. If I look crappy, he as a lawfully wedded significant other shall go down the grave with me, 1 for all, all for 1!<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
OK *inhales deeply* 1 more to go.<br />
Damn this is hard, looking at the compilation of ugly photos. </div>

<i>Taken 1 year apart during CNY, I probably weigh around 39kg by then. </i><br />
<i><br />
</i> My chin over here looks somewhat improved because I accepted several aesthetic treatments but still you could spot a fair share of fold underneath and it looks receded.<br />
I supposed I'm posing to look sexy but what say u? Please don't say I look like a pig ok, the truth hurts.<br />
Not intending to censor my handsome companion here, people say we are worlds apart but I have nothing to hide, we are from the same mother.<br />
<br />
This, you never see it coming.<br />
My double chin runs deep, lets say it starts from a very young age.<br />
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/photo.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo photo.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/photo.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<br />
Hearing my cries, fairy god mother Bianca from <a href="http://www.myfatpocket.com/">My Fat Pocket aka MFP</a> came to my aid. Actually this isn't the first time Bianca introduced me to go for aesthetic treatment. I've previously received radio frequency from her source, I have to say my double chin really did improve but only for a very short span of time (like a month?!). This time round she was really nice again to ask if I wanted to take up an offer from Doctor Ivan Tan at Nu-Reflections AestheticsHub to receive a series of non-invasive procedures.<br />
<br />
Of course I said yes to anything that could eliminate if not minimise my double chin.<br />
So I went down for my first consultation to say hello to Dr Tan and get to know more about the procedures that I'll be receiving. Little did I know he wasn't just your regular aesthetic doctor, he contains a mixed of 'yoz, wassup, hi, ^5,' funny but serious, but still funny.<br />
He is also very garang, will explain more in a bit.<br />
<br />
We spoke about my concerns and addressed my troubled double chin, we also talked about other areas like my laughed lines, hindering mole at the side of my cheek, uneven face shape...blah blah.<br />
<br />
So we ended our 1st session with a hell lot of options and here I'm, lying on the treatment bed for my 2nd session still not knowing what I'll be receiving. The anticipation makes me nervous and excited!<br />
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20HealthBeauty/MFP%20Fillers/mfphw_nureflections_dblchin_2_zps3a75fd75.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo mfphw_nureflections_dblchin_2_zps3a75fd75.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20HealthBeauty/MFP%20Fillers/mfphw_nureflections_dblchin_2_zps3a75fd75.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
I'm supposed to get my face cleansed and numb before seeing Dr Tan but before the therapist could get a chance to numb my face I was called in to see doctor. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20HealthBeauty/MFP%20Fillers/mfphw_nureflections_dblchin_3_zps9b6c8a34.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo mfphw_nureflections_dblchin_3_zps9b6c8a34.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20HealthBeauty/MFP%20Fillers/mfphw_nureflections_dblchin_3_zps9b6c8a34.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
And so Doctor Tan took a look at me and said "Ok can lets start!"<br />
Bianca and me are like "Huh? Start Simi?"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Of course the fillers for your chin la!" giving me a wide grin.<br />
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20HealthBeauty/MFP%20Fillers/mfphw_nureflections_dblchin_7_zpsb6a6f132.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo mfphw_nureflections_dblchin_7_zpsb6a6f132.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20HealthBeauty/MFP%20Fillers/mfphw_nureflections_dblchin_7_zpsb6a6f132.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Fillers is not all.<br />
To reduce the appearance of my double chin, Dr Tan decides to use 3 different treatment: 3D Ultra V-lift, Botox Treatment and of course the good ol' Fillers.<br />
<br />
Dr Tan proceeds to use filler from Juvederm and injects 1and 1/2 syring into my chin area, the other 1/2 will let you know where it went in my subsequent post. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20HealthBeauty/MFP%20Fillers/mfphw_nureflections_dblchin_4_zps846456e2.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo mfphw_nureflections_dblchin_4_zps846456e2.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20HealthBeauty/MFP%20Fillers/mfphw_nureflections_dblchin_4_zps846456e2.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
I was expecting the worst pain that could possibly happen but apparently Dr Tan's technique is so good it'll be a waste of time if I were to go through the numbing process. It took me less than 30 mins and my new chin is done!<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20HealthBeauty/MFP%20Fillers/mfphw_nureflections_dblchin_8_zpsd0bd70de.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo mfphw_nureflections_dblchin_8_zpsd0bd70de.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20HealthBeauty/MFP%20Fillers/mfphw_nureflections_dblchin_8_zpsd0bd70de.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Admiring myself intensely in the mirror. Oh whats new?!<br />
Oh btw if you are thinking why is there a piece of shrink wrap right under my chin?<br />
That is the only area I was numbed for 3D Ultra V-lift, more on that on my later posts.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20HealthBeauty/MFP%20Fillers/mfphw_nureflections_dblchin_9_zpsbc695466.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo mfphw_nureflections_dblchin_9_zpsbc695466.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20HealthBeauty/MFP%20Fillers/mfphw_nureflections_dblchin_9_zpsbc695466.jpg" /></a></div>

<br />
With that my new chin is complete!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Things to note:<br />
<br />
<b>Before Procedure</b><br />
Remain calm, this way muscle will be less tense and it makes injection way lot easier. Ask for numbing cream if you are ultra afraid of pain, actually I'm too but without numbing works ok for me so I'm sure you'll do just fine! Is subjective though, so choose a doc you really trust!<br />
<br />
<b>During Procedure</b><br />
Slight pinching can be felt during the injection of fillers but nothing more than an ant bite. If you experience further pain, stop your doctor immediately. Also do expect some pressure at the injected area because pressing is needed to mould the fillers into desirable shape. <br />
<b><br />
</b> <b>After Procedure</b><br />
Do not rest your hand onto the affected area for the next 7 days, because fillers are still forming into shape thus any additional pressure might cause the area to change slightly.<br />
Also do expect some light bruising on the areas which are treated, they can last for a few days, mine lasted for 5.<br />
<br />
Remember there is no downtime, cosmetics could be used even right after the treatment. Fillers from Juvederm although temporary, it can last for 9months up to a year.<br />
<br />
This are the results after 5 days:<br />
My chin definitely looks sharper and less receded now, most of all the double chin is significantly reduced! It shows up so well in photos, you really have to see it have to believe it!</div>

</center>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hello Dblchinis.<br />
I love cleansing wipes, they are convenient and easy to use on the go.<br />
I still remember Biore was the first in the market to launch their very own cleansing sheets and thereafter many other brands started follow suit. Since then I was already a die-hard fan the day Biore cleansing sheets set shores in our local drugstores.<br />
<br />
Here I'm catching up with the <b>New!</b> and improved generation of Biore's sheets!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20makeup/Biore%20new%20cleansing%20sheets/DSC00001.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC00001.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20makeup/Biore%20new%20cleansing%20sheets/DSC00001.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There is so much to talk about the revamping of Biore wipes, but first let's take a look at the newly improved box. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20makeup/Biore%20new%20cleansing%20sheets/DSC00002.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC00002.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20makeup/Biore%20new%20cleansing%20sheets/DSC00002.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sealing performance is now made better with air tight tub, helping sheets containing the cleansing liquid to last for a longer period of time. My no.1 pet peeve towards all types of wipes; when sheets are as dry as the sahara desert. It totally irks to pull out a piece of wet wipe to find that is half dry, when it happens it causes unnecessary friction towards my skin and could led to premature wrinkles. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20makeup/Biore%20new%20cleansing%20sheets/DSC00003.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC00003.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20makeup/Biore%20new%20cleansing%20sheets/DSC00003.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With Biore new and improved packaging, the air-tight container now not only keeps the wipes moist, the formula is also infused with a larger dose of liquid.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20makeup/Biore%20new%20cleansing%20sheets/DSC00004.jpg.html" target="_blank"><i><img alt=" photo DSC00004.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20makeup/Biore%20new%20cleansing%20sheets/DSC00004.jpg" /></i></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>New Biore Cleansing Cotton Sheets Contains 20% more cleansing oil as compared to the old packaging</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With 20% more cleansing oil in each sheet, it makes removal process a breeze and even more hassle free. Less time is also needed to remove the makeup I had on my face as it minimizes repeated wiping by 50% on eye lashes, eye area and face!. Talk about even more speedy makeup removal that is especially useful during this festive period with all the late nights!<br />
<br />
What I love most about the new Biore Cleansing Cotton Sheets is they are so hydrated it leaves my skin smooth and moist after cleaning as they now also contain Hydrating Beauty Essence. <br />
It is not necessary to double cleanse your face as the beauty essence that is left behind acts as a part 'skincare' helping you to replace your usual regime. The sheets are also made of 100% natural fibre for a softer glide on skin, so it helps to minimize the harsh swiping action on your skin. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20makeup/Biore%20new%20cleansing%20sheets/DSC00035.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC00035.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20makeup/Biore%20new%20cleansing%20sheets/DSC00035.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is me purely on Biore Cleansing Cotton Sheets, look how speedy it manages to removes my makeup! My skin looks thoroughly cleansed here, not a speck of dirt is left on the 'after' photo. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20makeup/Biore%20new%20cleansing%20sheets/DSC00039.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC00039.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20makeup/Biore%20new%20cleansing%20sheets/DSC00039.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's a tip for tough waterproof eye makeup. Place sheet onto eyes and hold for 5 seconds before gently wiping away the makeup.<br />
I tried it for my eye makeup and it works very well!! :)<br />
<br />

</center>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This the season to be Jolly, Fa la la la la, la la la la!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20makeup/TBS%20fall%20collection/DSC00028.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC00028.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20makeup/TBS%20fall%20collection/DSC00028.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Merry Christmas everyone! How was your christmas so far?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ok, technically is 1 day after Christmas but there are still 12 days to go, so here I'm featuring the latest fall makeup collection from The Body Shop!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
From eyeshadows, illuminating powder to TBS latest lip colours, they drive me absolutely insane. The superb pigment quality and colour payoff is a more than a dust of christmas spirit, I would say it suits all festive occasion. For the love of it, you shall see why. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Launching the latest colour palette from TBS is the 4-step smokey eyes in Smoky Plum and Smoky Brown respectively.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20makeup/TBS%20fall%20collection/DSC00029.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC00029.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20makeup/TBS%20fall%20collection/DSC00029.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Purple like I've mentioned many many times before, is the trending colour this season. Nothing could stop me from loving these awesome shades. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The 4 colour quad provides everything from highlighting to contouring, I love bringing these around because it comes with 2 mini eyeshadow brushes; an angled brush (for winged out effect and lower lash line) and a regular eyeshadow applicator for the ease of use!

<i>4-Step Smokey Eyes winter edition S$39.90 carries a tinge of pearl sheen, a darling to use for festive season. </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Since Brown smokey is the more commonly seen look I decided to create one with 4-step Smokey Eyes with Smoky Plum instead.</div>

Shimmer powder is very useful for creating glow especially with when it comes to achieving nude looks. Some people use it all over the face as a illuminating powder but I prefer to highlight certain points of the face eg. cheek bones, T-zone, collar bone to give a 3-dimensional effect to the features.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However, if you have oily or greasy skin, I would recommend you to avoid this one. </div>

<i>The Body Shop New Special Edition Shimmer Bauble S$34.90 is the key to light up your face this festive season.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
My favourite by far from TBS; The all over shimmer.<br />
I use it on the hair, face, body for most of my clients! It immediately sparkle up the entire look~<br />
Is the most easy-to-use makeup item by far, just a light spritz and my client is good to go! The particles so fine, all you see are specks of shinning beads glinting under the light.<br />
The bottle is constructed so modern yet vintage with that spray puff my clients are always surprise to see me taking this out of my train case and can't helped to ask what is it! Now you know ;)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<i>The Body Shop The Sparkler winter edition S$39.90 is available in both Gold and Pink, try it out for yourself at your local TBS store!</i><br />
<br />
When TBS sent me 2 Colour Crush lipsticks (130 and 200) I knew I had to get more of these, so I went to my local TBS to grab hold of another 3 sizzling colours for this season. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
Out of the lot 240 is my pet colour because purple is just so 'in' this season. I love how luxuriously rich these colour give out, I must say is really rich and creamy. Guess I'll still be using this colour for the coming Chinese New Year too!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20makeup/TBS%20fall%20collection/DSC00045.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC00045.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20makeup/TBS%20fall%20collection/DSC00045.jpg" /></a><br />

We are still at the topic of winter trending colour, purple. So here goes, a purple eyeliner from TBS. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Unfortunately is not love at first sight, I don't really like the dull shade this pencil is made (feels more like a muddy black) and the colour comes out really light when I tried swatching them at the back of my hands. I might be wrong because I usually grow to love something after a while, but we'll see.<br />

<i>The Body Shop Smokey Plum Eye Definer S$19.90 is definitely not my favourite item but if you do visit TBS, no harm checking it out, you might just carry a different opinion :)</i><br />

<b> Majolica Majorica</b> decides to goes bold this winter season, strong colours like deep blues and bloodshot red is the key colours to their 'Pure Play' collection.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20makeup/MJ%20winter2013/DSC00006.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC00006.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20makeup/MJ%20winter2013/DSC00006.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
I believe it is very much inspired by snow-white, the finished look with fluttery lashes and lips as red as rose.<br />
Who can forget her a pure innocent heart, a complication of childhood fantasy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20makeup/MJ%20winter2013/snow_white_picture_2_jpg.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo snow_white_picture_2_jpg.jpg" border="0" height="400" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20makeup/MJ%20winter2013/snow_white_picture_2_jpg.jpg" width="340" /></a><br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
MJ makeup has always bee magical but this season in particular gives a very mysterious feel to the entire collection, you'll see why in a bit. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<center>
</center>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lets being with the oh so red lips.<br />
MJ makes the best pocket size lip glosses(this case lip stains), they are small enough to fit into almost every inch of my bag yet its feathery tip is strong enough to pick up a handful of the product for use. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20makeup/MJ%20winter2013/DSC00008.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC00008.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20makeup/MJ%20winter2013/DSC00008.jpg" /></a><br />
<i><b>Majolica Majorca Rough Majex Red Lip Stain</b> is available in 2 shades: Pure Apple (RD412) and Poisonous Apple (RD311) <b>SGD17.50</b></i><br />
<br />
Unlike their usual collection which usually comes in the spectrum of pinks and nudes, this definitely is something fresh for me. Comparing to my all time favourite lip stain from Lime Crime which gives a matte finish, MJ goes on glossy.<br />
Not that I'm complaining but I'm not only startled that MJ decides to go red this season, I'm also equally impressed with how pigmented this lip stain goes on my lips.<br />
And no joke, this lip stain glides on like a breeze.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20makeup/MJ%20winter2013/DSC00010.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC00010.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20makeup/MJ%20winter2013/DSC00010.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
I'm very particular about Mascaras especially Majolica's because there was an episode of me using of of their comb mascara and the next day my eyelid swelled double the size. Bad move :(<br />
But like I've mentioned earlier, this collection carries that mystifying aura + glitter(What?!) I couldn't helped but to give it a go. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20makeup/MJ%20winter2013/DSC00011.jpg.html" target="_blank"><i><img alt=" photo DSC00011.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20makeup/MJ%20winter2013/DSC00011.jpg" /></i></a><br />
<i><b>Majolica Majorca Lash Expander Edge Meister 17 </b>is the new limited edition for this winter season <b>SGD 25.90</b></i><br />
<br />
Check out the swatch, notice there are fibers that helps with lengthening and if you look closely you can spot the blue sparkles! Nevermind if you can't spot any here, the next few picture will give you a better idea. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
Here's a almost finished look with both eyes ready, I'm just short of coating my eyebrows with brow mascara. You may now pass your judgement.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
Nothing is ever complete without smelling like Snow white. I think she smells nice la if not how come the 7 little men so mesmerise by her right?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20makeup/MJ%20winter2013/DSC00017.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC00017.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20makeup/MJ%20winter2013/DSC00017.jpg" /></a><br />
I'm a hardcore fan of not just any fragrance but hair mist, I truly think is more important than body perfume coz I generally smell good already la. If one day u sit next to me and u think I smell bad, then that is just probably you catching up with your own scent.<br />
<i><b>Ma Cherie Winer Floral Hair Fragrance SGD16.90 </b></i>carries a unexplainable frosty floral fragrance. This is the ultimate weapon to combat oily greasy smell. Even though I wash my hair everyday, I only does it in the evening thus the next morning when I wake up my hair smells somewhat like....hmm drool on the pillow?<br />
So in order to head out smelling like snow-white I spritz this all over my hair at a gd amount of distance around 10ish cm, product advice 15-20cm but I find it too far apart.<br />
Also don't on the fan when u spray, the mist will go in all direction.<br />
<br />
Hope you like my review!<br />

</center>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20makeup/Brigitte%202013%20Collection/DSC00001.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC00001.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20makeup/Brigitte%202013%20Collection/DSC00001.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been a loyal fan since Brigitte stepped foot in our shores a year or 2 ago (read <a href="http://www.dblchin.com/2012/08/haraju-cute-your-favourite-japanese.html">here</a>), the girly feminine packaging fascinates me to no end.<br />
Basing on my assumption with so much Kawai factor, Brigitte cosmetics is definitely a direct competitor to Majolica Majorica and both of them strives to capture young women hearts like mine.<br />
Wait, before you start identifying me as an old hag, the latest press kit I have with me states Brigitte's Target Audience is 20-33 years old, so I'm still considerably young ok. Swee, heng, kawaii.<br />
<br />
This time round I received a couple of new things from their latest collection, first let me go into this oh so fine! cream blusher.<br />
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20makeup/Brigitte%202013%20Collection/DSC00005.jpg.html" target="_blank"><i><img alt=" photo DSC00005.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20makeup/Brigitte%202013%20Collection/DSC00005.jpg" /></i></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Brigitte Marble Creamy Cheeks is available in 3 shades</i><br />
<br />
Every blush comes in 3 psychedelically marble tones to give a gradual silky finish.<br />
The formula is mild and light and is very easy to pick up the colours even thought it looks faint on the skin.<br />
<br />
The trick to apply them is to swirl my finger tips on the blusher and blend mixture lightly on the apples of my cheeks giving it a clean subtle outcome.<br />
<br />
Almost transparent but yet the tinge of blush is noticeable, here's an #LOTD with Brigitte Marble Creamy Cheeks in OR-01</div>

<br />
When it comes to the eyes, nobody does it better than Brigitte.<br />
When you see me looking at cute fluffy lashes, you know is time you strap that straitjacket on me because I will buy buy buy until there's a hole in my pocket. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20makeup/Brigitte%202013%20Collection/DSC00010.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC00010.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20makeup/Brigitte%202013%20Collection/DSC00010.jpg" /></a><br />
<i>Brigitte Romantic Eyelash comes in 6 different designs, 2 pairs in a set. </i><br />
Each bristle is made so fine it'll almost look like your natural lash when you wear them on!<br />
My top favourite aspect of Brigitte's falsies is the lash Bone, so transparent almost unbelievable that is fake.<br />
<br />
I'm not only huge on lashes but also eyeshadows!<br />
They contribute an important part to my entire look, here I have with me a similar palette to my already <a href="http://www.dblchin.com/2012/11/review-harajucute-with-brigitte-blusher.html">existing collection</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<i>Brigitte Romantic Eyes is available in 9 different quads.</i><br />
<br />
Almost identical to my existing OR-1, GD-1 comes across as a heavier dose in shades and pigments.<br />
If you are looking for a complete smoked out look, GD-1 is the one to get. </div>

Recently I was invited by The Body Shop to cover this year's Digital Fashion Week .<br />
Happy to say I had so much fun hanging out at the backstage, learning and picking up new things.<br />

Most of you know that I've just started serious MUA-ing for clients only at the 2nd half of this year and within a short span of time (after graduating from Cosmoprof in August) I was given the opportunity to work on models, celebrities, brides and everyday people like you and me.<br />
<br />
It is my greatest honour being part of this year's DFW, I have to thank 1 person in particular "Ching Yan", who gave me a chance to shine and learn from the expert <a href="http://www.facebook.com/lanmakeup">Lan Nyguen</a>, a well acclaimed London Based makeup artist.<br />
<br />
Incase you have no idea what's the relationship between TBS and DFW, they are the official makeup brand for this year's show :) </div>

Here are the TBS in-house makeup artists, among them there's me the odd one. Technically I'm behind the camera...heh...But, I'll will merge into the scene once the models are ready for makeup.<br />
The MUAs are busy setting and prepping their stations thus the somewhat chaotic formation shown here, it will get worse when the crowd (models, presenters, celebrities) comes in later.</div>

The finale ends with Naomi Campbell gracing the runway for this opening show.<br />
Everyone took out their digital gadgets, leaned forward and started snapping, I almost missed my chance in getting a nice picture of her. whoo! Glad my camera is good, managed to take 2 decent ones minus the 8 blurred images which I've discarded. </div>

</center>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20makeup/Moroccan%20Kohl/DSC00001.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC00001.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20makeup/Moroccan%20Kohl/DSC00001.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Look at the exquisite packaging of this silver bottle rarely seen in our tropical island.<br />
Is little known that this precious little thing contains the treasures of Moroccan Kohl Powder, a type of eye makeup for the ladies. <br />
<br />
Used for centuries by the Ancient Egyptian and Arabian Princesses (beauty sure stretches way back to the bygone era), ladies have been lining their eyes with this bottle filled with black powder.<br />
Unlike the modern days pencil/liquid liner, this is made of Kohl powder, a substance which cause No irritation or redness to the eyes. In short is Au Natural.<br />
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20makeup/Moroccan%20Kohl/DSC00002.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC00002.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20makeup/Moroccan%20Kohl/DSC00002.jpg" /></a><br />
<i>The Kohl powder contains dark grey with little sparkles or glitters and powder feels really fine. </i><br />
<br />
My first thought of this bottle: look how expensive it looks, it must've contain elixir!<br />
<br />
Well I'm half correct; brass, copper and silver bottles are used by rich and noble, where the commonly seen Kohl bottles are made of wood. You rarely see intricate bottles like these anymore, anything more exquisite than this would be outrageously expensive or second hand antiques.<br />
The reason for their hefty price is because each bottle is handcrafted thus imperfection is what makes it perfect.<br />
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20makeup/Moroccan%20Kohl/DSC00007.jpg.html" target="_blank"><i><img alt=" photo DSC00007.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20makeup/Moroccan%20Kohl/DSC00007.jpg" /></i></a><br />
<i>Each Moroccan Kohl Bottle is painstakingly handcrafted, do expect little imperfections</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This works very similar to your modern pencil liner except better, you can achieve a nicely drawn waterline with just 1 simple stroke.<br />
<div>
While it takes time to master the correct technique but once you get it right, you'll probably want to stick with this for a long time. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Still unsure on how to use this? Not to worry, I'll come around with a step by step guide:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
#1 Dip the applicator stick into kohl powder and shake the excess away. The amount shown here is suffice. </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20makeup/Moroccan%20Kohl/DSC00008.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC00008.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20makeup/Moroccan%20Kohl/DSC00008.jpg" /></a><br />
<i>Is said that Kohl powder can prevent eye disease and protect eye from sun rays. It also strengthen eyelashes thus which is why the arabians have been wearing it for centuries in the desert.</i><br />
<br />
<br />
#2 Place it on your lower eyelid ( waterline), the applicator should be parallel to your eye</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20makeup/Moroccan%20Kohl/DSC00009.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC00009.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20makeup/Moroccan%20Kohl/DSC00009.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
#3 Close your eyes firmly on the applicator stick</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20makeup/Moroccan%20Kohl/DSC00010.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC00010.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20makeup/Moroccan%20Kohl/DSC00010.jpg" /></a><br />
#4 Drag across the applicator stick towards the end of your eye, if you follow accordingly to my sequence you'll notice I've drag the applicator straight across the silt of my eyes.<br />
<br />
#Step 5 - When you open your eyes and you will see the black kohl staining on your upper and lower waterline.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<i>At any point if you wish to acheive a darker waterline, repeat as desired.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Here's a video guide on applying Moroccan Kohl powder, notice she uses the old wooden bottle?<br />
I no say she commoner but I think I like my royal silverware better.<br />
<br />

<u><br /></u>
<u>Things to take note</u><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">Should kohl powder gets into your eyes, blink a few times and the kohl will be collected at the corner of your eyes.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">To remove, use cotton bud with rose water/eye make up remover</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">It is not necessary to remove as the ancient people had even slept with the kohl on to prevent eye disease. </li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-align: center;">Kohl Powder has a shelf life of up to 3years however a word of caution, do not mixed it with water. </span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<u>Caring for your application</u><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">Applicator should be cleaned with only boiled water/olive oil. Avoid soap as it will contaminate the kohl powder.</li>
</ul>

</center>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hellos, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Is time for a outfit of the day post again, I've caught on the recent wave of having holes in an outfit. lol. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You may have guess it right, is the cut-out dress which I didn't manage to own any until I stepped foot in Bangkok. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not that I dislike the ones selling in singapore butt most of the cut-out clothing here are sliced way off proportions, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with me in it is like a hippo in a ballerina costume. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm never a big size girl but doesn't mean I won't develop baby fats right not? The bigger the hole, the loopier my fat droops. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Beautiful day dress is love. </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I saw this dress, it didn't exceptionally blew me away until I saw how it was constructed; got cut-out but in a subtly mild manner. Dayum girl this dress is made for me!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And so I tell myself to make space for my already bursting wardrobe. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also the price is way cheaper thanI expected 200baht (SGD8). Tell me who's going to pass off this good deal?</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Loving the beautiful flowers embroidered on the bust and the lower bodice, adding richness alongside the pale blue. </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Look at the detailing, I never own such a soft demin blue dress before so this is a rather fresh colour for me. The upper torso actually didn't fit very well, looser than I imagine so I took in 1/2 an inch off the seams on both sides. </div>

</center>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20makeup/day%20of%20the%20dead/dayofthedead3.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo dayofthedead3.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20makeup/day%20of%20the%20dead/dayofthedead3.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Inspired by Michelle Phan's La Bella Muert, The Beautiful Dead <a href="http://youtu.be/5HE2hq41B94">video</a> (based on a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Day_of_the_Dead">Mexico festival</a>) I came up with my very own version Día de Muertos aka Day of the Dead look.<br />
<br />
Even though my knowledge of this festival as good as a blank piece of paper I'm awed and fascinated by the beautiful paintings of these sugar skulls and the mysterious and rich colours the Mexicans use to honour the dead. These vibrant elements made me want to give this look a go...and guess what? I had so much fun painting my face white and creating that ombre pale purple lips I almost lost track of time. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20makeup/day%20of%20the%20dead/dayofthedead2.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo dayofthedead2.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20makeup/day%20of%20the%20dead/dayofthedead2.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Even though Marigold is the key flower to this festival, I felt a need to improvise. Fumbling through my stash and finally picked out an asian native flower, the 'Paeonia' aka Peony I used it as a head wreath to give a softer approach to this look.<br />
Plus the vibrancy of the flowers also helps to give life to this ghastly appearance. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20makeup/day%20of%20the%20dead/dayofthedead.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo dayofthedead.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20makeup/day%20of%20the%20dead/dayofthedead.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
I've used a combination of face paint (<b><a href="http://global.kryolan.com/detect/index.php?path=">Kryolan</a></b>), eyeshadows (Random Brand) and bright eyeliner (6th Element from <a href="http://www.dblchin.com/2013/02/review-make-lime-crime.html"><b>Lime Crime</b></a>) , not forgetting blue contacts to add on to the mysterious feel. </div>

Hope you like my Day of the Dead Makeup :)<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Feeling envy already? I know we all are busy people, so do the ladies above! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How exactly can we look like these celebs with our packed schedule and heavy responsibilities in Singapore? Not to mention that some of you reading my blog are already mums and that adds up to the negligence of skin caring. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Which is why Purer Skin has came out with "Purer Symphony" to help you through your busy schedule. Let me show you how.<br />
<br />
<u>Step #1</u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20skincare/Purer%20skin%203/Purer%20skin4/Creme-Cleanser-500x500.png.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo Creme-Cleanser-500x500.png" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20skincare/Purer%20skin%203/Purer%20skin4/Creme-Cleanser-500x500.png" /></a><br />
Remove all traces of makeup before proceeding with Purer Skin Cream Cleanser.<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u>Step #2</u><br />
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20skincare/Purer%20skin%203/Purer%20skin4/Toner-500x500.png.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo Toner-500x500.png" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20skincare/Purer%20skin%203/Purer%20skin4/Toner-500x500.png" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To achieve pore-less complexion, you must not miss this step. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Use Purer Skin Clarifying toner after cleansing. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><br />
</u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u>Step #3</u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><br />
</u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20skincare/Purer%20skin%203/Purer%20skin4/Serum-500x500.png.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo Serum-500x500.png" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20skincare/Purer%20skin%203/Purer%20skin4/Serum-500x500.png" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Do wait at least 2 mins after applying Miracle Serum, this is to ensure serum is fully set onto the skin before following up with the Night Recovery for optimum absorption</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Optional: Apply Miracle Serum before doing their night mask to increase the efficiency of the mask</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u>Step #4</u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20skincare/Purer%20skin%203/Purer%20skin4/Night-Recovery-500x500.png.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo Night-Recovery-500x500.png" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20skincare/Purer%20skin%203/Purer%20skin4/Night-Recovery-500x500.png" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Purer Skin Night Recovery to be used on areas as a protective shield against wrinkles. Pay concentration to </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
areas like laugh lines, forehead, outer corner of the eyes. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can choose to store Purer Skin Night Recovery in the fridge as a rescue mask if you have been under the hot sunday all day, for instance a beach vacation. Even it says 'Night Recovery' is fine to use small amounts in the morning when your skin is lack of moisture, leave on 5 mins and wipe off slightly with a tissue. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When dehydration arises, keep yourself moist, drink plenty of water and get adequate sleep. Stress is also a factor of bad skin, so manage it well and try lifting your spirits~</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In a short span of 28 days, you'll start seeing significant results from Purer Skin's range. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once you get your base looks effortless, you can now adapt the latest 'No Makeup' look! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just BB cream alone does the trick, I love using <a href="http://www.dblchin.com/2013/02/review-body-shop-moisture-white-shiso.html">The Body Shop White Shiso BB Cream</a> it gives a neat and clean finish that leaves my skin glowing. </div>

Sorry for the long hiatus regarding Boracay post, is been 2 months since the last post isn't it? Damn...lets just say I missed Boracay so much I didn't want it to end thus the slow release. Ok can. </div>
<center>
</center>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Anyways in this post I'm touch on Paraw Sailing, a lazy way to enjoy the sea without the heart-dropping moments of falling over like how banana boat ride does but there is a chance you may topple (into the sea) if you are not careful enough. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20Travel/Boracay%20Paraw%20sailing/DSC00196.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC00196.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20Travel/Boracay%20Paraw%20sailing/DSC00196.jpg" /></a><br />
<i>The best time to experience this is during the early evenings where the sun is about to set. Slow relaxation best served after an intensive afternoon of seaport activity. </i><br />
<br />
A very humble looking appearance of each Paraw but popular as can be, there is a long line of people waiting to set sail.<br />
When I was saw this local sail boat I was baffled by the appearance thinking where do I climb onboard? Everything came to light when I was told to sit on either side of the outrigger serving as a counter poise so that the boat would not overturn easily. Also there compartment in the centre where we can put our belongings. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20Travel/Boracay%20Paraw%20sailing/DSC00199.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC00199.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20Travel/Boracay%20Paraw%20sailing/DSC00199.jpg" /></a><br />
<i>Each Paraw can contain approx. 6-7 people (3-4pax on either side of the outrigger). Do note that they charge by </i><span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"><i>1,500 pesos (S$43.50) per paraw, not by per headcount. </i></span><br />
<br />
As we slowly enjoy the breezy evening I decided to explore a little more by climbing onto the edge of the outrigger. I supported myself by standing onto the wooden frame and held on dearly to the wired ropes, due to the the back light only my neon life vest is caught clearly in shot, the rest is just darkness. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20Travel/Boracay%20Paraw%20sailing/Travelgraphy_3326.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo Travelgraphy_3326.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20Travel/Boracay%20Paraw%20sailing/Travelgraphy_3326.jpg" /></a><br />
<i>A brave attempt to stand near the edge of the outrigger, do not try this at home!</i><br />
<br />
Another one where I sat on the lines constructed with synthetic fibre rope. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<i>Trying my very best to suck-in those tummeh. </i><br />
<br />
The boat ride lasted for a good 20 mins, good enough for us to catch our breath after a long day!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Since I have a bit of time (on a Saturday morning before I head for my makeup assignment) I might as well draft a quick blogpost but think you won't be able to get to see it until today which is...erm monday so good luck on trying to search for a post that never exist until now. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Felt accomplished with my constant updating recently, I'm so unpredictable I duno when will I go on a momentarily hiatus of slack mode again so while I have the drive I shall blog many many post! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To kick off with today's title, I shall present you with a self-obsessed camho, not that I can help it but this way it shows up better in blog previews, say right not?! </div>

Actually I wanted to share with you this product I bought online from <a href="http://list.qoo10.sg/item/INSTOCK-%E5%B0%88%E6%A5%AD%E6%AC%BE-MISS-BOW-BOW-%E6%92%A5%E6%92%A5%E5%B0%8F%E5%A7%90-DOUBLE/410353610?selectedOptions=">Qoo10</a> originated from Taiwan which I named it 'da bomb' aka 'double eyelid gauze' aka '<b>Eye Tape</b>' from <b>Miss Bow Bow</b>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This thing (like I said) is truly amazing because unlike normal double eyelid tape/glue I have difficulty piling on colours but with this, is a breeze to apply layers of eye shadows and also able to achieve create depth/ crease! </div>

The pic on the left filled with strips of thin gauze-like material is the actual product that I'm talking about here, the crescent outline is almost similar to the shape of a normal double eyelid tape except it had holes in it which makes it less visible when applied onto the eyes.</div>

Do note that there is this plastic film that serves as a backing so do not attempt to paste the backing together with the gauze on your eyes ok, I haven't tried doing it but I think u will look foolish like that.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also this type of double eyelid tape needs to work hand in hand with the glue provided. The glue is da bomb No.2 because unlike <b>Clear Eyetalk</b> (available at watsons) it doesn't leave a funny look film after application and you can tap it until the glue dries it'll still look natural and easy for your eye shadows to come on.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Regarding the method of application, you can watch the video here</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

For those that do not understand chinese, you can see that she actually applied 'Eye Tape' on the opposite way of how we normally do with an eyelid tape. This is because her eyelids have more accumulate fats thus is harder to achieve the double eyelid crease by applying it the 'usual' way. In order to support, lift up and create the fold she flipped the eye tape over to create her desired outcome.<br />
If you have thick lids like hers you can try doing it her way. For the rest, follow her instructions but with the crescent is facing down like how we normally paste a double eyelid tape.<br />
<br />
Miss bow bow comes in 2 version, The <a href="http://list.qoo10.sg/item/INSTOCK-%E6%BA%AB%E5%92%8C%E6%AC%BE-MISS-BOW-BOW-%E6%92%A5%E6%92%A5%E5%B0%8F%E5%A7%90-DOUBLE/410341640?selectedOptions=">Mild Version </a> and the Professional Version (above). Although I didn't purchase the Mild version, I believe the eyelid gauze is the same, the difference is the glue. One is white and the other is clear in colour. </div>

You can take a look at the difference shown here, my crease is higher than before and there is more room to draw my eyeliner and stick on falsies. I could go a little higher to make my double eyelids look more parallel but I guess I didn'y because this is the first few attempt thus toning down the risk level, maybe I'll show you another time where I have a thicker and higher crease. </div>

<i>My key object is to enhance my eyes not alter my looks, thus a subtle different makes a whole lot to the entire look. </i><br />
<br />
Also see how invisible it looks! This is a close up so of course it will show up a little more obvious over here but when you look at the over all picture, you an barely see a thing!<br />
The best thing about Eye Tape is when I blink there it doesn't shows up a film of something on my eyes, no uncomfortable feeling and do not need to be afraid of the person I'm conversing to staring awkwardly at me. </div>

<i>No obvious marks of Eye tape, only Tiny bumps seeping through that is pretty much barely there.</i></div>

A while ago, Camy from <a href="http://beautydirect.com.sg/">Beauty Direct</a> offered to send me some falsies of my choice to feature on my blog, me being a huge fan of fake lash I had to say yes!<br />
So I took my pick from a few selections from under starlash: Tokyo Lash, Duchess lash and picked up a few mini bottles of lash glue just because they look so cute!<br />
Not forgetting Starlash Signature Brown pencils, lets touch on these now!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20makeup/Starlash%20portfolio/DSC00021.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC00021.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20makeup/Starlash%20portfolio/DSC00021.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Look at the extensive range of lashes they offer, this is beyond crazy. I'm sure you can spot some awesome halloween choices!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20makeup/Starlash%20portfolio/DSC00022.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC00022.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20makeup/Starlash%20portfolio/DSC00022.jpg" /></a><br />
<i>Huge array of choices from Starlash, from left clockwise: <a href="http://beautydirect.com.sg/index.php/star-lash/duchess-false-eyelashes/db35.html">DB35</a>, <a href="http://beautydirect.com.sg/index.php/star-lash/star-lash-false-eyelashes/princess-16.html">P16</a>, P10 & <a href="http://beautydirect.com.sg/index.php/star-lash/star-lash-false-eyelashes/db28.html">DB28</a></i><br />
<br />
Pocket size lash glue that fits into almost anything!<br />
Comes with a wand that helps to coat lash bone easier and leaves no mess onto my fingers, glue comes out semi opaque and turns clear when dry. You bet, is super duper stick proof!<br />
This is, the best eyelash glue I've used by far.<br />
However 1 thing to note, because this glue is pretty minuscule and the bottle opening is narrow, the glue might get trap around the neck thus create a minor mess around the opening so becareful on that. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20makeup/Starlash%20portfolio/DSC00023.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC00023.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20makeup/Starlash%20portfolio/DSC00023.jpg" /></a><br />
<i>Each mini <a href="http://beautydirect.com.sg/index.php/star-lash/star-lash-accessories/7090490.html">Starlash Eyelash glue</a> comes in the size of 3 grammage. </i><br />
<br />
Starlash brown pencils are pretty mediocre, I think I've used better one but their Automatic Gel Eyeliner Pencil is what keeps me going. Even thought the lead looks a little broader than usual pencils, it glides like butter, goes on well and...hmmm pretty smudge proof I must say even at the end the day I still get little dark impressions under my eye which is inevitable due to my oily skin. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<i>The everyday staples: Golden Ratio Brow Pencil in Espresso Brown and Automatic Gel Pencil in Intense Black all available under <a href="http://beautydirect.com.sg/index.php/star-lash/star-lash-makeup.html">Starlash makeup section</a></i><br />
<br />
I've used Tokyo Lash Collection (<i>available under the </i><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><i><a href="http://beautydirect.com.sg/index.php/star-lash/tokyo-lash-collection.html">Tokyo Lash Collection False Eyelashes</a></i></span><i>)</i> for my graduation piece aka makeup portfolio at Cosmoprof academy for my models and of course myself on usual days. Lets take a look and maybe you'll get some inspirations for this coming halloween!<br />
<br />
The geisha fashion look, completely over the top and exaggerated which is why my choice lands on this super crazy pair of long lash. If you have small eyes like me, don't even attempt to try this out on normal days. Halloween is exceptional.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20makeup/Starlash%20portfolio/DSC00027.jpg.html" target="_blank"><i><img alt=" photo DSC00027.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20makeup/Starlash%20portfolio/DSC00027.jpg" /></i></a><br />
<i>An Inspired Geisha Look with Yumiko TL008</i><br />
<br />
This is currently my favourite Falsies from Starlash mainly because it gives a not too over the top look yet still manages to give a clean glamorous outcome to the entire makeup. In addition, the soft tip on lash gives the wearer a fluttery effect when she blinks adding a tinge of romantic sweetness. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<i>Bridal Day Makeup Look on <a href="http://instagram.com/kiewc#">Charlene</a></i><br />
<br />
I sported a different look using the same lash, slightly nerdier but chic nonetheless. I layered on 2 pairs to compensate and balance out the whole eye when my cat-eyeliner took over the attention. Also it gives me a reason to exaggerate my eyes behind my pair of glasses without lens. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20makeup/Starlash%20portfolio/DSC00053.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC00053.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20makeup/Starlash%20portfolio/DSC00053.jpg" /></a><br />
<i>I'm definitely a fan of Namie TL004</i><br />
<br />
Here <a href="http://thatsilvergirl.blogspot.sg/">Silver</a> is using Starlash Premium Lashes DB28, sorry I didn't have a direct reference pic next to it but you can click on the link <a href="http://beautydirect.com.sg/index.php/star-lash/star-lash-false-eyelashes/db28.html">here</a>.<br />
I'm creating a Audrey Hepburn inspired look and as we all know Hepburn is obviously angmo with indefinitely amount of long curly lashes. In order to replicate that I drew silver's top eyeline and waterline thicker than usual to give it a fuller look and bond her natural lash and starlash falsies with mascara. Let me know how I fair!<br />
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20makeup/Starlash%20portfolio/e8594002-672f-4b0a-8b39-2ee88f6d2d63.jpg.html" target="_blank"><i><img alt=" photo e8594002-672f-4b0a-8b39-2ee88f6d2d63.jpg" border="0" height="493" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20makeup/Starlash%20portfolio/e8594002-672f-4b0a-8b39-2ee88f6d2d63.jpg" width="640" /></i></a><br />
<i>Silver's pretty to being with, makes my job a whole lot easier. </i><br />
<br />
Last but not least, here I'm using TL001 Erika for one of my daily looks, this look is pretty well received and I've gotten a handful of likes on my <a href="https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=582175891838972&set=a.423182697738293.96652.311674588889105&type=3&theater">facebook photo</a>, probably because of the choice of eyeshadow colours I've used and the entire sweeping back of hair + a little bit of the 贵气 air.<br />

Almost everyone knows the importance of looking good and makeup is a good ol' medium to cosmetically enhance the face but do you know removal of makeup is also a priority alongside with the former too?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Introducing <b>The Body Shop Camomile Make-Up Remover Range</b> which cleanses well and effectively removes all traces of oil. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20skincare/TBS%20Camomile/DSC00001.jpg.html" target="_blank"><i><img alt=" photo DSC00001.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20skincare/TBS%20Camomile/DSC00001.jpg" /></i></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>The importance of cleansing must not be neglected. </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>From left clockwise-The Body Shop Camomile Water Proof Eye and Lip Make-Up Remover, </i><i>The Body Shop Camomile Silky Cleansing Oil, </i><i>The Body Shop Camomile Gently Eye Make-Up Remover, </i><i>The Body Shop Camomile Sumptuous Cleansing Butter.</i><i> </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Camomile is known for its calming properties and how smart these people from TBS are, infusing camomile oil into their products. It also means, this range is very suitable for people with sensitive skin like me, yay!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20skincare/TBS%20Camomile/DSC00006.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC00006.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20skincare/TBS%20Camomile/DSC00006.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However, I'm kinda overwhelmed with the choices I have here. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Like they say, the more choice you have the more confusing it gets. So lets deal with one at a time alright? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Gentle Eye Make-Up Remover </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
VS</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Waterproof Eye and Lip Make-Up Remover</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Gentle Eye Makeup-Up Remover is generally a milder version with less oily feeling as compared to the Waterproof make-up, they are both so gentle is suitable for contact lens wearers. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On stubborn days where my mascara is tougher and harder to remove I'll take my chances on the waterproof formula, however days when I'm not wearing any mascara but had eyeshadow on, the gentle version works perfect for me. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Silky Cleansing oil</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
VS</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Sumptuous Cleansing Butter</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm not even going to get close to the Cleansing oil because I've used something like that before, it clogged my pores and resulted in whiteheads sometime ago. I have yet to muster the courage to try another cleansing oil for now. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20skincare/TBS%20Camomile/DSC00008.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC00008.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20skincare/TBS%20Camomile/DSC00008.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With that I've left the best for the last; the <b>Camomile Sumptuous Cleansing Butter</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is my favourite cleanser by far, which is why I'm going show you how I put this jar of product to the test. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20skincare/TBS%20Camomile/DSC00059.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC00059.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20skincare/TBS%20Camomile/DSC00059.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Looks like wax but is it feels really soft and practically melts when it comes in contact with the skin. </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Is been a long day outside so I'm going to try using this cleansing butter to remove my makeup. (#1) Using a spatula I scrapped a fair amount of cleansing butter and apply it over my face (skin contact has to be dry vs dry). Then with my finger tips, I used circular motions to make its rounds. Prior to this I've used the Waterproof eye and lip make-up remover for my eye makeup. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20skincare/TBS%20Camomile/DSC00060.jpg.html" target="_blank"><i><img alt=" photo DSC00060.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20skincare/TBS%20Camomile/DSC00060.jpg" /></i></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Cleaning test is carried out to put this product to the test.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br />
</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As you can see from #2 my face looks like is glazing but is actually the product that is doing it's magic, literally melting like butter. Is practically frictionless as I work around the skin surface. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When the diffusion of makeup has taken place, I washed my skin with warm water and thoroughly clean it with a basic cleanser. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To ensure my skin is squeaky clean and also to test out the product (#3), I used a cotton pad soaked with toner and sweep over the entire face. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20skincare/TBS%20Camomile/DSC00066.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC00066.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20skincare/TBS%20Camomile/DSC00066.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Dirt on cotton pad? Zilch.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u>The Results:</u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had initially doubt the capability of this cleansing butter because it doesn't look like the usual cleaning tool, thus not too convincing.<br />
A jar of stuff able to clean away all greases and dirt? Omg this really needs to be seeing it to believe it! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been using this for many washes and I have to say I'm falling deeply in love with this baby. It has never been such a breeze to melt and remove my makeup all at once. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have to say is my new favourite now!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
Hi Dblchinis!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been raving about how awesome <a href="http://www.purerskin.com/">Purer Skin</a> is in my last few post but how do I measure up the effectiveness of their product? Here's something to prove it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In this post we will be making use of a small little device called the 'Skin Analyser' to test the hydration levels of my skin in terms of Moisture, Oiliness and Roughness. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20skincare/Purer%20skin%203/DSC00153.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC00153.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20skincare/Purer%20skin%203/DSC00153.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Testing out the hydration level on my skin after 5 hours of makeup on.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br />
</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A simple guide to this device: </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20skincare/Purer%20skin%203/DSC00158.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC00158.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20skincare/Purer%20skin%203/DSC00158.jpg" /></a><br />
<i>An easy to use device to test out the effectiveness of the skin.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Bar decreases leftward </u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Moist- <i>skin is more dehydrated </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oil- <i>skin gets less oilie</i>r </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: center;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: center;">Rough- <i>skin gets rougher</i></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Bar increases rightward</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Moist- <i>skin is increasingly hydrated</i><br />
Oil- <i>skin is increasingly oilie</i>r<br />
Soft- <i>skin becomes softer</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*Centre portion represent a standard bar to determine the readings. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"> Here are my test results:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20skincare/Purer%20skin%203/DSC001582.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC001582.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20skincare/Purer%20skin%203/DSC001582.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Test shows skin is in-dire of moisture.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
-2 for Moisture<br />
-2 for Oil levels<br />
-2 for Skin Roughness<br />
<br />
Test came out all negative and it shows skin is in-dire of moisture!<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Unfortunately if we refer to the guide above, the result weren't so satisfying, 2 bars on the left shows the level of moist, oil and softness is what I'm lacking. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm going to do the test again after removing all traces of makeup and the use of Purer Skin products. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
#1-cleanse<br />
I first remove my makeup using a makeup remover wipe before proceeding to wash my face with Purer Skin Creme Cleanser. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20skincare/Purer%20skin%203/cremecleanser.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo cremecleanser.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20skincare/Purer%20skin%203/cremecleanser.jpg" /></a><br />
<i>Double cleansing is necessary especially if you have thick layers of makeup on.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<br />
#2- Tone<br />
This is a safe step for cleaning all traces of makeup and prepping your skin for the essence to come on. I'm using Purer Skin Clarifying Toner here.<br />
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20skincare/Purer%20skin%203/toner.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo toner.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20skincare/Purer%20skin%203/toner.jpg" /></a><br />
<i>Use light sweeping motions to apply toner with a cotton pad.</i><br />
<br />
<br />
#3- Feed<br />
I used 2-3 drops Purer Skin Miracle Serum sparingly across the face with my finger tips to ensure even application.<br />
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20skincare/Purer%20skin%203/serum.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo serum.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20skincare/Purer%20skin%203/serum.jpg" /></a><br />
<i>Using circular motion, rub essence lightly onto skin for better absorption.</i><br />
<br />
<br />
#4-Moisturise<br />
Using a q-tip, I dug up a dollop onto my face and applied the Purer Skin Night Recovery on required areas. Yes is alright to skip areas, like the T-zone or chin. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20skincare/Purer%20skin%203/nightrecovery.jpg.html" target="_blank"><i><img alt=" photo nightrecovery.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20skincare/Purer%20skin%203/nightrecovery.jpg" /></i></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Do not overuse moisturiser if your skin is sensitive to rich creamy products.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
After applying my night regiment, lets conduct another test.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20skincare/Purer%20skin%203/DSC00170.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC00170.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20skincare/Purer%20skin%203/DSC00170.jpg" /></a><br />
<i>Nerve racking moment as the bar does beep beep beep.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
The time round the results are satisfying, my moisture and softness level shot up from a negative '-2' to a whopping positive '+5'<br />
The level of oil content had also increase slightly but thats enough, a little too much will make me look like an oily mess. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20skincare/Purer%20skin%203/DSC00173.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC00173.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20skincare/Purer%20skin%203/DSC00173.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Purer Skin products is proven a surge in moisture and softness level.</i><br />
<br />
After 3 months with Purer Skin*, I'm really enjoying my healthier and stronger skin. Even though I'm not getting younger, my skin condition somehow seems to reversed back in time when it was used to be firmer. Purer skin has helped me to retain my youth and earned me some bragging rights!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>*with the incorporation of my other skincare products.</i></div>
<br />
I'm going conduct 1 more test on the effectiveness of Purer Skin Miracle Serum using 2-3 drops at the back of my hand.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20skincare/Purer%20skin%203/DSC00180.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC00180.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20skincare/Purer%20skin%203/DSC00180.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Significant results on the before and after test. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
Before application of Purer Skin Miracle Serum, Negative results of:<br />
-5 for Moisture<br />
-4 for Oil levels<br />
-5 for Skin Roughness<br />
<br />
After application of Purer Skin Miracle Serum, Positive results of:<br />
+5 for Moisture<br />
+2 for Oil levels<br />
+5 for Skin Roughness<br />
<br />
Look at No.2 and 4, notice the dramatic increase in the all the levels? I wouldn't be surprise the bar goes beyond + 6,7,8 (if there is a device for that), must be the highest concentration of liquified Bird’s Nest found in its product that boosted all the levels!<br />

<br /></div>

</center>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Recently I was invited by <a href="http://www.nirachan.net/blog/">Nira</a> as her +1 for the latest <b>Bobbi Brown Holiday Collection </b>(held at Ngee ann City) featuring Hollywood Glam on the runway.<br />
Is been a while since I attended a blog event thus the lack of event updates. I got to see many familiar faces and was absolutely overwhelmed, for a spilt second I suddenly felt so deprived from hanging out with friends!<br />
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/Bobbi%20Brown%20event/2013-10-06190836.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo 2013-10-06190836.jpg" border="0" height="640" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/Bobbi%20Brown%20event/2013-10-06190836.jpg" width="480" /></a><br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div>
Before I go into talking about their makeup, I believe is right to first direct you to the key event of the day; the catwalk.<br />
Bobbi Brown showcases everyday woman in all age and sizes, </div>
<div>
with the right confidence and strong use of makeup, you and me could also take centre stage and rock the party as awesome as runway models. </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/Bobbi%20Brown%20event/2013-10-06162400.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo 2013-10-06162400.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/Bobbi%20Brown%20event/2013-10-06162400.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i> Sitting in the front few rows trying to catch a good glimpsed of the glam-up catwalk by everyday woman strutting down the stage. </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Featuring 7 beautiful woman, the theme 'Hollywood Glam' is indeed brought to life. I love how they incorporated the use of strong red lips on these women. They strutted out poised, bold and fearless. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The event ended up with an entourage of Bobbi Brown professionals posing with their models. The team did a great job not only on the makeup but making these women look poised and high-fashion, they almost had me believing that the ladies are professional catwalk models!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<i>For a sweet girlish look, pair printed bottoms with light pastel top. </i><br />

The trend in BKK now is peek shoulders, clothes that has a shoulder-cut is a common sight among the retail outlets there. So be prepared to feast your eyes on drop shoulder outfits when you shop around Bangkok.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm always trying to look for ways to combat my dblchin hoping I can reduce the size of that bulging area around my face. Thanks to Bio-essence invitation, I attended the latest 100 Facelift challenge where they had 100 participants(obviously) all over Singapore competing with each other to achieve smaller, bigger difference face shape!<br />
<br /></div>

Incase you haven't notice, this is the measuring tool to gauge the V-ness of the face. The narrower the V result shows, the slimmer the face. Mine is approx at 60degrees while Jac's at 70 degrees.<br />
You can see that I kinda short-changed the measurements a degree or two by squashing my chubby cheeks together #cheat. </div>

Having said that, I brought home a few key products from Bio-essence V-shaped Series.<br />
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20skincare/Bio%20essence%20Vface%20Challenge/DSC00010copy.jpg.html" target="_blank"><i><img alt=" photo DSC00010copy.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20skincare/Bio%20essence%20Vface%20Challenge/DSC00010copy.jpg" /></i></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Bio-essence Deep Exfoliating Gel pumps out jelly consistency in a semi opaque colour. </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
I like how Bio-essence Deep Exfoliating Gel manages to removes the dirt yet retaining the smooth and soft aftermath on my skin. On the contrary, I'm almost disgusted by the how dirty the little pieces of residue are show up upon removal, these bits slowly forms up by rubbing the dry skin surface in circular motion.<br />
The key to skin regeneration is to exfoliate frequently, this case Bio-essence Deep Exfoliating Gel is so gentle I'm using it daily to maintain my skin lustre.<br />
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20skincare/Bio%20essence%20Vface%20Challenge/DSC00014.jpg.html" target="_blank"><i><img alt=" photo DSC00014.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20skincare/Bio%20essence%20Vface%20Challenge/DSC00014.jpg" /></i></a><br />
<i>Exfoliate frequently to get rid of dead skin, this way skin will always look radiant and less harboured with bacteria. </i><br />
<br /></div>

<i>Do not skip essence if you are looking to retain your youth, I'm using Bio-essence Radiant Youth Essence for daily maintenance.</i><br />
<br />
Your initial reaction like most people will probably be like 'omg why so oily?!' Well, thats the first false impression that you'll be getting because before you know it the essence will quickly seep into the skin leaving it smooth and filled with hydration. <br />
Did I mention that the range I've received is infused with Royal jelly that not only smells great but beneficial to the skin? The amazing effects of anti-aging is almost significant with Bio-essence, leaving the skin another level younger and wrinkle-free. </div>

<i>The No. 1 favourite cream among the masses, Bio-essence Face Lifting Cream.</i><br />
<br />
I'm not sure if the term 'cream' fits this bottle of royal goodness because doesn't work thickly at all. Even thought it looks very creamy-like, the texture is actually soft and delicate. It melts upon application leaving a velvety feeling to the skin.<br />
This is the key product to achieving V-shape face leaving the face structured and contoured, what's enticing is the scent of this jar, accompanied with Royal Jelly it makes a whole lot of difference.<br />
Well of course, not to mention that the results deemed significant for reducing that puffy face of mine.<br />

<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20makeup/Lime%20crime%20Velvetines%20suedeb/DSC00106.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC00106.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20makeup/Lime%20crime%20Velvetines%20suedeb/DSC00106.jpg" /></a><br />
Remember previously I <a href="http://www.dblchin.com/2013/09/lotd-with-lime-crime-cosmetics.html">blogged</a> about Lime Crime Velvetines that I've order from the US? Can't believe is now available online in singapore, a place called <a href="http://www.facebook.com/PinkPoutSingapore">Pink Pout</a>!<br />
Pink Pout knew I'm a huge fan of Lime Crime and offered to send me something that I like from the Lime Crime Lipstick series. Since I'm so fond of the Velvetines, I thought why not take the opportunity to request for Suedeberry since I already have Red Velvet.<br />
<br />
Here's a swatch of it suedeberry, a shade of bright chilli red that is almost leaning towards orange.<br />
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20makeup/Lime%20crime%20Velvetines%20suedeb/DSC00142.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC00142.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20makeup/Lime%20crime%20Velvetines%20suedeb/DSC00142.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>If Red Velvet is a bold, Suedeberry is the mother of all drama. </i><br />
<br />
Very eye catching and you wouldn't miss me from afar.<br />
To be honest, I don't enjoy this colour as much as Red Velvet (mainly because cool reds suits me better), I think this is a 'make or break you' colour. Dangerous not because is red, because it is neither red nor orange nor coral nor I duno what colour to say. I almost felt like a borderline disaster when I put this on. <br />
<br />
But despite all odds, if you look somewhat like me, good news! I found a method that will bring the entire look together.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/kocfood/media/2013%20makeup/Lime%20crime%20Velvetines%20suedeb/DSC00122.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC00122.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h393/kocfood/2013%20makeup/Lime%20crime%20Velvetines%20suedeb/DSC00122.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Red Velvet (shown <a href="http://www.dblchin.com/2013/09/dressy-loft.html">here</a>) compared to Suedeberry is 10 times easier to carry off. </i><br />
<br />
Focus on clean strong eyes, you can shade the outer corners with darker neutral shades but keep it minimal. Go easy on the brows and if your eyelids takes shape easily, put on a higher crease with a double eyelid tape/fiber/glue, whatever works for you.<br />
Say you do not have a full pout, ok lets fake it. You can either use a lip pencil to retrace your lips shape (focusing a thicker depth on the cupids bow and centre of the bottom lip), drawing it outside of your natural lips before you fill it in with suedeberry or my case directly trace a thicker outline with the wand provided.<br />
The picture above proves a so much better me, I would ditch that green hair and wear this alone but I like my crazy hair colour so yea *sets Sberry aside for later*.<br />
Oh yes before I forget, no baboons asses on your cheeks please, that will only endanger more traffic accidents, instead go with light soft blush that gives a subtle hue.<br />
<br />
With that this sums up my review on Lime Crime Velvetine in Suedeberry, you can get them at Pink Pout facebook page:<br />
