[Product Review & Makeup Tutorial] Achieve Holiday Party Look x Innisfree Natural Benefit From Jeju Island

   A big hello to everyone!! =D how is everyone holiday coming along so far? ;)

  Big big apologies to everyone as I have not log in and blog for months.. >///< was really super super
  Super duper busy with work. And now finally have the chance to have a little R&R. ^_^ and can
  Finally spend some quiet time for Xmas. Yay!! Xmas is finally here! It is always my favourite time
 Of the year with lots of gathering with friends and family, presents exchange and of course the
 Weather.. Omg.. it has been so cooling and cosy these past few weeks that I would literally drag
 Myself out of bed to go to work in the morning... =__= zzz  (Dozing off.....)

Ok. Anyway.. (fully awake now. XD) I'm sure that during this time of the year, all of you will have Many parties and gathering to attend am I right? ;) and for ladies out there, I guess the most vexing Part besides thinking of what to wear, it would be what makeup look to put on. You want to look Glamorous but not too overdone and still look natural. So today I will be teaching a real simple Makeup look that you can wear easily for any parties during this holiday season.

    Products used today will be from Innisfree. Yes! you heard me. Korea number 1 natural cosmetic  
    And skincare brand with natural energy from Jeju island is finally here in Singapore!!! =D
    Launched in November this year with their first outlet store right in the heart of Orchard.
   Ambassador will of course none other than Korea actor Lee Min Ho. (Love his acting and dramas..
   ^^)

   These are the products that I bought. Damage done: $100++ (can't remember the exact amount..
   >///<)

    Ok. Let's get started!

 

    1st. Prep your skin with primer. (Remember, this should be done after your sunscreen. ^o~)

 

   2nd. Spread foundation evenly all over your face. ( You can either use your fingers or sponge to

   Blend. I personally prefer to use a brush.) After this, do all your necessary concealing.

 

   3rd. Set the foundation with loose powder. I am so in love with this no-sebum mineral powder

   Infused with natural originated mint that has a tint slight cooling feel when you apply it and the

   Finishing is a smooth and matte finish. Focus more on T-zone and side of the nose where its 

   Always the part that is most oily. 

  And the base makeup is done! =)

  After drawing in your eyebrows, we shall move in straight to the eyes. These are the eye products 
  That we will be using.

  Mineral Eyeshadow in n.o 23, 08 and 09.

  4th. Apply the light shade (23) on the entire eyelid area as a base.

   5th. Apply shade (08) on the crease area as close to the lashline as possible. For single eyelids like 
   Me can draw till up to about 5mm height.

   6th, Using shade (09), gently apply at the inner corner as if you are blocking the eye area.

 

   7th. Again using shade (09) apply at the outer corner of the eye area this time and gently blend

   Inwards. Don't forget the under eye area too! ^^

 

   8th. For a little touch of glamour =P and to accentuate and brighten up the eye makeup, I added a  

   Bit of gold shimmer eyeshadow on the centre of the eyelid.

 

    9th. Using the waterproof gel eyeliner pencil, gently draw and fill in the gap between the lashes at

    Your upper waterline.

 

   10th. To enhance the eye makeup and to create a more defined and sexy cat eye look. =P winged

   Out your upper eyeliner and draw in the lower waterline. (To create a slightly more softer look,

   When drawing the upper eyeliner, follow the natural shape of your eyes instead of creating a

   Upwards flick.)

 

   11th. Add in false lashes or a mascara (depending on personal preference. I personally prefer to use

   False lashes to make my eyes slightly more bigger. XD)

 

   And there you have it! A simple evening look that's great for any parties or gathering this holiday

   Season.

 

   I am totally loving Innisfree range of cosmetics. Not only are they affordable, they all contains

   Mineral and organic ingredients all the way from Jeju island that's great and less harmful on the

   Skin. I have not tried their skincare products yet though but I figured its time to change my skincare

   Range again. XD ( I have been trying to find a effective whitening day moisturiser but not sure

  Which brand is good. >///< recommendations anyone??)

 

  Hope you all enjoyed today little tutorial.

 

  Happy Holidays everyone!! ^o~

[Skincare & Product Event] Give Your Skin The Energy They Need x Sothys Paris Lifeline (Fil De Vie) Energizing Line

    Today topic is about infusing energy into our skin. XD

 

    But first of all, a super big apology to everyone. It has been almost a month since my last blog

    Update... >/////<  Lately has really just been busy working working and nothing but working.. Thus

    Hasn't got much time to write articles. Today article is suppose to be in by a few weeks ago but

    Was so busy and tired from work by the time I reach home. Thus, this article came late. But still

    Better than nothing right? XD So once again, Sorry for the delay everyone!

 

   Ok. Back to topic. I'm sure everyone has ever had the experience of draining out of energy. 

   Physically and mentally especially from the kind of stress we face everyday. Work, family, human 

   Relationship. Thus, whenever we had the chance we would try to get away from all these, perharps

   Go for a little holiday to relax and recharge ourselves and come back to take on even bigger

   Challenges in life and work. Even our smart devices like phones and tablets need to be charge when

   They are low battery so all the more for human beings right? =P

 

   However, what about infusing energy into our skin? Hmm... Since when did we started treating our

   Skin like phone devices? XP LOL.. Of course we are not going to plug a wire into our skin. I'm

   Talking about skincare of course. Earlier last month, I had the extreme honour to be invited to

   Sothys Paris LifeLine (Fil De Vie) Energizing Line launch event held at Hyatt Hotel.

  

The entire atmosphere and setup were grand and very relaxing. However that day I wasn't in my best Attire as I was not feeling really well. >///<

We were also served with champagne, pastries and finger foods. But I forgot to took some photos. =P Sorry about that everyone!

 

Each invited guest were also given a doorgift. Very kind and generous of them, Thank You Sothys Paris! ^_^

 

 



Inside also contains brochures and press release kits for us to read and know more about the products.

 

 

The event began with a slideshow presentation on Sothys research and how the Energizing skincare

Line developed and came about.

 

Thanks to Sothys Advanced Research by developing an intensive care programme that works on the Genes to optimize cell energy to maintain the glowing radiance and improve skin resistance to the External environment.

 

Infused with the main ingredient: Siberian Ginseng which is well know for its adaptogenic properties And abilities to adapt its actions according to the body needs, providing strength using its natural Energy to resist different aggressions. Illuminating the skin and revealing youthful and glowing Complexion.

 

Fany Deveze, the international trainer of Sothys were there to do the presentation and explain to us

More about the energizing line. Couldn't took any photos as the lighting were not very good and my Phone were going low battery at that time. >///<

 

 

There were also testers available on each table for us to tried out. Basically there are only two series. A night cream and a day cream. For the day cream, there are two different texture. Light and comfort.

 

Starting from the top is the light version. Middle one is comfort (For dry skin) and the one below is the Night cream.

 

This is after blending out the night cream and the comfort version day cream. It doesn't feel sticky on the skin and the comfort version absorb pretty well into the skin.

 

 

Can see that my hand feels more hydrated and I felt that its more refreshed and energized.

 

 

In a joint collaboration with Ovio Pte Ltd to boost and promote a healthier lifestyle, fight against fatigue and regular exercise to healthy skin. There were a lucky draw at the end of the slideshow presentation And 5 lucky winners got to walk away with a Eops NoiseZero sports designer earpiece set. And I so happened to be one of the lucky 5 which I wasn't really expecting at all.

 

 

Time for unwrapping presents!! =D Sothys were very generous to gave away a shawl, a full size Night cream and two sets of travel size day and night cream. And the pouch just so happen to be my favourite colour pink!! ^_^

The energizing night cream and travel size day and night cream.

 

 

 

This is the how the night cream looks like and the texture is. Though is thick but yet it doesn't felt too Rich or sticky and would have even better results when including some massaging technique when Applying.

 

After applying, can see that my left hand looks more youthful and radiant. Spots and wrinkles are less Obvious compare to my right hand below which looks dull and spotted with lines and dark spots. =(

 

Love their pretty logo at the top of the jar cap. ^^ Very elegant. So far I haven't started using it yet as my existing night cream is still unfinished but I believe that I would definitely love this not only because it looks promising but also because the results are pretty obvious with the experiment on my hand just now and I do need it quite badly too as I'm always busy with work, working late, tired easily so I could definitely use some energy for my skin. XD
