    Face painting and hand painting fun

    Here's the body art and hand painting designs I did recently for WhatTheFlea at Serangoon Garden's myVillage mall.







    There was a good mix of kids, teens and even adults who came along to request for designs such as unicorns, peacock feathers and butterflies to be painted on their hands and cheeks.

    Curel Moisture Eye Zone Essence - with Ceramide






    The final step in a great skin care regimen is an eye treatment.


    For me, I've recently taken to Curel's Moisture Eye Zone Essence. I've tried Clinique's eye cream previously but found it not quite suitable for my skin. Curel's Moisture Eye Zone Essence is really light weight. It's the non creamy types which I reckon is suitable for ladies in their 20s or teens.

    Eye cream or gels are useful to provide mositure and to nourish the delicate skin under and around our eyes. Moisturizers and other lotion should not go anywhere near your eye, it is too thick to penetrate our eye area and hence millia can occur. Millia in a non scientific definition is a “little white bump that may look like a tiny pimple, however, it is actually a pore clogged with lotion that skin has grown over, which needs to be surgically removed. As you can see, that is not what you want! Therefore, use an eye cream or gel day and night, it can help reduce puffiness, bags, wrinkles, lines, and darkness. If you are in your twenty’s an eye gel would be best. For 30 and above a cream or serum would suit your needs.




    Besides blinking close to 10,000 times a day, the eye area is also at the heart of many of our expressions - so it suffers from a lot of micro-contractions.


    Plus, this area naturally has only a small amount of sebaceous glands, so it is prone to dehydration and fine lines, only by applying antiaging eye cream can solve this problem. In fact, from age 30 onwards, crow's feet and expression lines can appear, and get worse over the years.

    Before it is too late, take steps to minimize those wrinkles.

    If like me you have single eyelids or if your Ophthalmologist told you that you had oily eye lids (mine did much to my dismay) then congratulations the skin around your eyes should not age as soon the normal person.




    Curel is available at all Watson's stores

    Read more about Curel on

    Note: It's good practice to apply any products on your eyes with either your pinky or your ring finger. The pressure exerted by other fingers are stronger and not good for your delicate skin around your eyes.

    Here's what the essence looks like- it's a light weight water based gel it seems (unlike those super rich creamy ones)

    Hannibal - playing once again




    Endorsed by over 3,900 dermatologists in Japan, Curél is the first Japanese skincare brand specially formulated and clinically proven to comfort dry and sensitive skin, from face and body to scalp and hair.

    Suitable for all skin types, Curél’s products are also infused with Eucalyptus extract. Through a careful research on natural ingredients, Kao discovered that the leaves of the Eucalyptus plant vastly enhance skin’s ability to produce ceramide.

    Dermatologically tested, hypoallergenic, fragrance-free, colorant-free and alcohol-free, Curél is a highly effective solution for all your dry and sensitive skin troubles. (This especially means alot to me since I've sensitive skin which my facial therapist and eyebrow technician never fail to remind me of).

    Curél is developed from over 30 years of extensive dermatological research by Kao on sensitive skin and combines the latest dermatological science and technology.

    Milly's - at Bugis

    The lovely owner of Milly's has sponsored my chanel inspired 3D nails.

    My honest opinion however is that Milly's offers Great designs (usually by Vietnamese and Chinese nail technicians) but can do better with the quality of products used. I spotted many brands which I had not heard of used by the salon.

    Also I'm in favor of the Bugis branch as I previously had a somewhat unsatisfying experience with the nails I did the their Far East Plaza Branch.My gelish done at FEP was beautiful but it cracked within 3 days probably due to improper gel curing timing under the UV light.

    That aside, lovely Milly was kind enough to have them arranged to be re-done for me and this time I knew it was going to be worth it.


    A lovely Cath kidson-eques flower design

    This is Chloe from the Bugis branch, I highly recommend her. She was skillful and I saw her teaching a few other staff folk art nail designs.

    designs to tempt

    I'm always a fan of candy

    I assume this was their Easter nail palette

    This was what I showed to Chloe and requested her to do for me.

    She did it! and I even got a bejeweled Chanel trinket stuck onto my nails. Awesome?
    Before application

    Ah the interiors of the Salon - wonder if it was painted by their own staff?

    For nails like mine - it should cost between $120 and up.

    Milly's outlet is at bugis Village Extension, Level 2 @ Bom Bom street.
    For an appointment, call 8383 5395.


    Do request for Chloe :) I can't vouch for the rest but I can for her.

    Vanity Trove - STYLE hair care and K Palette Concealers

    Some time ago Vanity trove invited me and my mom for a SPA Party.
    During which I was introduced to a a brand called STYLE from Israel.

    What's unique about Style is that it uses 90% natural ingredients - the brand I believe stocks mainly hair moisturizers each enriched with camomile, borage, jojoba, camelia, rosemary and more. I was trilled to take home the Moroccan Argan oil range and my mom - the Intensive Repair one which smells divine.

    In fact when I came home, realised I actually have a huge satchel of hair moisturize from STYLE given to me by Cozycot previously.

    Sold at Guardian Pharmacies

    Style PRO HairCare is a professional hair care line based on natural essential oils that protect and pamper the hair and scalp. Every variant contains the pure essential oils selected for their efficacy that provide a focused natural answer to the specific needs of the specific hair and scalp.

    -Curl Control variant for wavy, curly and hard-to-style hair.

    -Colour Protection variant for coloured and highlighted hair.

    -Intensive Repair variant for dry or damaged hair. (I chose this)

    -And the New Moroccan Argan Oil variant

    This hair moisturizer cream is very light weight and protects hair from sun and chemical treatments with its NAA technology, Everlasting oil and dead sea minerals!

    The moisturizer (aka leave in hair conditioner from STYLE) was not heavy on my hair and thus didn't weight it down. It's important because my hair doesn't have more volume and being weigh down would just make this sadder. I love how this product made my hair smell pretty good ...so I am sure too boyfriends will appreciate this product.

    I chose Argan oil because it has one of the strongest antioxidant properties found in nature, together with Lineolic Acid (Omega 6), Omega 9, Vitamin E and Squalene, . Argan Oil has been used by generations of Moroccan women to strengthen and care for hair, skin and nails. (Sounds good huh?)

    STYLE products are priced from $10.15 to $23.50 and sold exclusively at Watsons.

    For readers who use concealers. ( I use them mainly to brighten my under eye area and also to conceal redness at times).

    Spot my cute K Palette Zero Kuma Control Concealer- these concealer comes in 3 shades that will fix the following

    01 - Conceals Dark eye circles while moisturizing ur eyes with Collagen and Rose water

    02 - Brightens your eyes with Vita C, Chamomile /Prune extracts

    03 - Conceals dark circles by aiding in blood circulation with Japonica Extract, Silver Birch leaves extract, Amino acids and more

    Mom and myself took shades 2 and 3.

    K-Palette Zero Kuma Cover Control Concealer is exclusively available at all Sasa Stores and www.beautycarousel.com for S$19.90 each.

    Train - Drops of Jupiter



    Now that she's back in the atmosphere
    With drops of Jupiter in her hair, hey, hey
    She acts like summer and walks like rain
    Reminds me that there's time to change, hey, hey
    Since the return from her stay on the moon
    She listens like spring and she talks like June, hey, hey

    Tell me did you sail across the sun
    Did you make it to the Milky Way to see the lights all faded
    And that heaven is overrated

    Tell me, did you fall from a shooting star
    One without a permanent scar
    And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there

    Now that she's back from that soul vacation
    Tracing her way through the constellation, hey, hey
    She checks out Mozart while she does tae-bo
    Reminds me that there's room to grow, hey, hey

    Now that she's back in the atmosphere
    I'm afraid that she might think of me as plain ol' Jane
    Told a story bout a man who is too afraid to fly so he never did land

    Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet
    Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
    And head back to the milky way
    And tell me, did Venus blow your mind
    Was it everything you wanted to find
    And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there

    Can you imagine no love, pride, deep-fried chicken
    Your best friend always sticking up for you even when I know you're wrong
    Can you imagine no first dance, freeze dried romance five-hour phone
    Conversation
    The best soy latte that you ever had, and me

    Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet
    Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
    And head back toward the Milky Way

    And are you lonely looking for yourself out there?

    Tell me did you sail across the sun
    Did you make it to the milky way to see the lights all faded
    And that heaven is overrated

    Tell me, did you fall from a shooting star
    One without a permanent scar
    And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there
