Woohoo!

I just gotten a piece of LB's covet dress back home to wear to my upcoming party, and I have to give credits to their customer who designed the covet tag especially.
The tag is awesomely gorgeous and elegant, and kudos to whom who did it, it's an awesome job indeed.

Check out the tag!

Managed to steal some peeks for LB's third Chinese New Year launch, and these are some you can watch out for! <3
Way pretty pieces and It uber headache to decide which to wear during CNY instead.
Love those pieces with prints especially and if i really have to pick, check out my top two favourites of the bunch!

Watch out for the gorgeous orient collection 3 today!

I came to realise weekend brunch is a look-forward thing to do every weekend,
and I had tried a good deal of brunch places over the past month.
Nuff on those English Breakfast, and its definitely time for a change.

Chanced upon this brunch cafe quite a while ago, and decided to give it a try last weekend.
Located at 4 Rochester Park, I pictured it to be a place with a whole lot of nature elements,
and as I guessed, Graze is located right in the middle of Rochester Park.

We were greeted by a crowded yet serene outdoor seating area,
looking absolutely peaceful and definitely great for a couples or small group of friends to gather for a Sunday brunch.

Afraid that it might rain, I made a reservation for indoor seats instead.

Love the homely decoration of the indoor seating area,
definitely feeling the warmth and coziness of the place.

More peeks below.

Wanted to try the homemade honey but didnt have anything to go with it.

Latte was pretty good and as for the all time favourite eggs benedict,
I would say it's pretty good. Would rate it 3.5 outta 5 bea's apples!

Wanted to try something out of the norm and based on the menu description,
i ordered a spanish type of food, egg white with potatoes, cheese and salmon.

Sadly, it was soaked in oil and it didn't taste good at all. Would definitely not order this if i go the next time round.

But well, how can we miss out desserts?!

Apple Crumble.

This was quite nice, but i would think its more like a pie than crumble sort.
The tart was filled with thin apple slices, too many in my opinions. The ice cream and milk definitely compliment the dessert very well.
Would rate it 3 out of 5 bea's apple.

There are a lot more variety there, but if i happened to go back again,
i'll certainly try other choices!

Happy Birthday Daddy granny!
It was her birthday yesterday and we had a lil gathering at my granny's for cake cutting.
Here's me and my new yellow dress!

*Yellow bohemian dress from pearlavish

*Gorgeous red work/party dress from pearlavish

Had a couple of LB's shoot for the past week and I suppose you have already seen these items that were launched a few days back.
These are a few favourites of mine!
Love the bright summer colour and how May (make up artist) did my make up for the shoot.
I had ultra red lipstick, pointy side for the eyes and neater hair, and I was supposed to look oriental if you can tell. Heh

More about fashion today, there's something interesting that's lining up this week!
It is definitely exciting to be invited as a judge for the 199 shop in-style contest that is currently ongoing,
and they are having a fashionista styling competition!

With six gorgeous girls coming together,
they are all dressed up in absolute different styles and in their own style that best suits them!
Not only can you glean some fashion tips from these girls, but at the same time,
the great thing is that you will know where to buy them as well!

You can take this opportunity to vote for your favourite girl amongst all and stand a chance to win a hamper that is worth $120 when you vote for the winning girl.
Check out the sneak preview of them below in the poster,
or you can find out more details of the contest & as well as the girls at their before you vote.

For those who are interested to find out who I gave my winning vote to….. read on!

Kudos to these girls and their creative juices,
these girls certainly fit the style they themselves dressed up perfectly well.
And in each of their styling, i spotted items that are wayyy gorgeous and  "I WANT!!" :p
Here're my views on each:

1. For Sabrina, i love the heels she has chosen for her styling, great taste and a very elegant pair, i would say.
2. And girls, one good way of getting your hair all volumised is to wig it! :p Anna styled herself with a natural set and hey, the curls are gorgeous!!
3. I thought Alicia has a pretty unique styling. Love the bun on her hair like those jappy girls, and how she compliments it with a flower.
And yes, the bun & flower totally matches the outfit she is wearing!
4. Esther has a pair of classic versatile heels and the bunny headband is totally in the trend now.
5. Amelia has a simple yet cutsie dress on, one which i would wear for parties hoping to look bubbly but not too much!
6. Last but not least, I love the party chic outfit on xingyi and her glamour hairband!

After some thoughts and tough deliberation, my vote goes to……….
ANNA!

I love the simplicity of her style, effortless chic and all glam up.
This shows she definitely knows how to style herself up at her minimal yet looking at the optimal.
Elegance is one of my favourite styles, and Anna has it all.

So vote yours now!

One more day and i am back to Sunny Singapore.

This lil spiderman nephew is the total highlight of the trip.

His funny pronunciation of "chieah chieah" for jie jie,
and "hor-lee-dae" for holiday definitely cracks me up.

Lil nephew's attempt to draw me. (right side of the paper)
The two black dots are my cheeks. heh

Elephant ride with sistakins.

I think elephants are real adorable.
It feels a tad sad to see how the trainers take those sharp pointy sticks and hit them hard on the head though..

And so, before my trip,
i went to Pink Parlour to try out their newly launched metalic nails!

Some facts about the NEW! Metallic Nails at PP.
1. New from USA
2. Similar to nails extensions without the side effects of brittle and soft nails
3. They are pasted on professionally and lasts for a week (or more if you take good care of them)
4. Taking off require soak off just like acrylics
5. Takes about 30 mins to do and costs $68/set

I tried it myself and I love them!
It takes a tad longer than 30 minutes, but definitely less than an hour.
Here am i with my pretty nails typing away,
and I like that fact that they filed it the length that I wanted,
so it will not disrupt or hinder myself doing work in any way.

Weeeeee!
I actually have the honour to try two sets within two weeks! heh
Love these two colours, the black and light gold zebra prints,
and the matte and shiny gold ones too.

Probably the least drawback is the duration for the nails to last,
but personally, it has been a week and my nails are still intact!
(Given the fact that I am not the gentle sort)
Only for that one nail that has the prints chipped off a bit,
but the rest are still purfeccctttt!
But no worries for that, If you find that the prints are chipped off,
you can easily paint a new coat of other nail polish colour before deciding to soak them off!

And for you readers exclusively once again,
You can enjoy the Metallic nails at $48/set!

Book your appointment now!

Sheshops is back again!
Check out some of my newly added stuff, you will love it!
do add me as a friend too kay!

I'm back with something good to share today!

Well, as you know the previous experience I had with Bio-essence BB Cream?
I remember quite a few of you guys were enquiring about the base i had for the TVC,
and yes, no doubt the actual product was in fact the BB cream by Bio-Essence.

As you know, Sun Block is a necessity for girls,
and for those who constantly have to put sunblock to protect the skin,
followed by the foundation to cover the blemishes,
why not just save the time and combine the both together?!

This time round, I'll be introducing in detailed this range of BB cream,
and it might be your next choice for your skincare beauty!

I bet you heard of people associating skin with the orange skin,
and usually for those whose concern are huge pores, uneven skin, blemishes,
there is a need to constantly touch up the base to make sure the skin stays good at any moment.

So lemme illustrate the effectiveness of these 3 new BB cream specially formulated by Bio-essence!

Let's meet Jessabelle, the Orange.

muhaha, pretty?

Unfortunately, these are her daily, uncured concerns.

Let us see what these 3 BB cream could aid in her complexion.

Introducing the 3 different types, from left to right,
Bio Multi-Effect BB cream, Bio Platinum BB Cream, Aqua BB Cream.

Yes, definitely with these 3 different kinds, it serves different purposes.

For the first one, the Bio Multi-Effect BB Cream,
the aim of this is Coverage.
It has a purpose of achieving Flawless Skin and Long Lasting Coverage for any person!
Furthermore, there is a spf 25, protecting your skin from the harmful UV rays,
as well as Bio Energy Fluid and herbal extract for nourishing.

Secondly, for the Bio Platinum BB Cream,
this is in fact, the most popular choice of all,
due to the special ingredients of Platinum to revitalize, and Tanaka to Whiten.

The aim of this is Whitening, and at the same time,
protects your skin from the UV rays with spf 25.
Definitely coverage, but slightly more natural than the previous one,
which has uber strong degree of coverage.
A good choice if you hope to achieve both coverage and whitening!

Last but not least, its the Aqua BB Cream.
For those who are fair enough or have really dry skin,
this is actually a very good choice for you.
Though there is no spf constituted in this,
but it has a Hyaluronic Acid, which is a highly active ingredient to moisturize.
And yes, the aim of this is Moisturize!
It is the most natural of all, and absolutely great for dinner functions.

Let's experience it with Jessabelle.

And yes you know, her main problem would be the huge pores and bumpy skin.

Trying out the different BB Creams to see which suits her better.

Tadah, here's the verdict.

You get different kinds of effect from the different BB Creams,
depending on what is your need actually.

As you can see, the first one on the left - Aqua BB Cream has a darker tone,
due to fact that it has no spf but yet it aims to provide you with high moisturizing effect,
and the most natural skintone on your face.

For the Platinum BB Cream in the middle,
the achieved effect is in between the moisturize and coverage with spf,
so its actually a very balanced shade which fulfill the needs of majority of us!
You can judge by the amount of coverage and colourtone.

The last one on the right would be the Multi-effect BB Cream,
this is obviously the one that has the stronger coverage!
You can see it from Jessabelle's skin that those bumpy surfaces and huge pores,
they are all covered and eased out well by the texture of the BB Cream!

Here's the platinum BB cream that i tried it on my own skin.

Squeeze a bit.

and start to spread and dap..

yes, you can see that it blends and sets into the skintone well after seconds!

if you wanna get a few tips on how to apply the BB Cream more effectively,
I was told that this pamphlet is circulating in stores now or soon, grab a copy! Teehee

Like i've said, i am a user of the BB cream to protect and smooth out my skin whenever i head out too.
So here's me.

Those pores, scars and veins which i would hope to wipe them out!

And after applying the Platinum BB Cream.

Done! :p

And guess what?
A Taiwan magazine actually did a thorough review on the different brands of BB Cream,
and introduced the various highlights of each.
Bio-essence BB cream is ranked one of the highest!

Here're the pretty packaging that comes with the product that beautify you!

And trust me, you are in for a treat today!

Totally loving it.

You might have been there,
and yes its Royal China at Raffles Hotel.

Very magnificent Tiffany and co place,
and a peaceful and comfortable place for an afternoon lunch.

my date <3

The awesome highlight for this place is not only the comfy settings,
but in my opinion, the dim sum (yes, its a dimsum restaurant) is absolute of Top Quality Standard.
This has gotta be the best dimsum place I have ever been to.

I couldn't stop raving about it since the moment i took a first bite. Heh.

We ate quite a few dishes,
and i'll just pick out those that are a MUST ORDER and simply divine!

The signature Royal China chee chiong fun.
One if char siew, one is prawn, and one is scallop (love the scallops one!)

The fillings of this is mango + egg yolk, absolutely appetizing.

Love prawns, and har gao is a must have during dimsum isn't it?
Delectable!

Here's comes the BEST THING OF ROYAL CHINA!

Their char siew xiu!
i am never a fan of this whenever i have dimsum
but the ones they have are simply simply gratifying and heavenly.
Crossed my heart and swear, please do try them, you'll fall in love with it with just one bite.

A very very satisfied us!

And loving the new outfit!
