French Manicure

After seeing a few friends spotting really nice manicured nails using Gelish, I was inspired to try this myself. Compared to normal nail polish, Gelish can last up to 3 weeks without chipping or fading of the nail colour. Well, that's fantastic news for a girl whose manicured nails have never last beyond 2 days without chipping!

A friend of mine who's been doing Gelish regularly, recommended The Nail Status at Far East Plaza. With Fridays and Saturdays being their busiest time, I was lucky to be able grab a spot as I went in without making an appointment. I've always liked French Manicure so I opted for that.

Gelish French Manicure!

The nail painting was pretty well done, slightly thick on the edge of some of my nails but it's not exactly noticeable unless you're staring at my nails up close. The no-chipping guarantee was confirmed with my bathroom scrubbing today - Still intact and as good as ever! I'm so excited and already planning to redo my nails in 2 or 3 weeks time. Do check out The Nail Status blog here.

Meanwhile, the 2 months long of Great Singapore Sales is on! Woohooo~ Time to grab more stuff at reduced prices!

After a long hiatus

 This is what I have been up to!

A new pair of pole/ hooker heels!

Chopped off my long hair... Boyfriend was literally in tears when he saw this.

With Bobbi, the owner of Bobbie's pole studio. She's such an inspiration!

And US skincare brand Philosophy finally hit our sunny shores! These are just some of the products I bought during their launch week. The microdelivery peel is definitely one of my favourite products. Philosophy is currently sold in the Sephora branches across Singapore.

F1 Sunday

After a hiatus from nursing a really bad cold, I'm finally well enough to sit in front of the computer and tinker with the photos taken during the Formula 1 Singapore weekend (23 - 25 September).

Mineral Aqua Gel

While getting my monthly fix of CLEO fashion and beauty advices, I chanced upon an article with the headline screaming "MY SKIN FEELS DRY AND FLAKY!"

Now, I've combination skin. The T-zone gets oily really fast in this hot and humid Singapore weather, whereas the rest of my face is dry and dull. Sometimes it gets so bad that when I lather on a thin layer of BB cream, my skin looks really flaky.

According to the article, the Mineral Aqua Gel helps to get rid of the dead skin cells while nourishing the skin with the combination of amethyst, hyaluronic acid and bio-energy fluid. I chanced upon the newly launched product while shopping at Watsons and decided to give it a try.

It is supposed to be used on dry face. What I had not expected was that the 'gel' was more of a liquid gel than the usual jelly-like gel. As I rub on the gel, white flaky residues started appearing, which I presume, are my layers of dead skin cells. Upon washing off these residues, my skin actually feels smoother to touch! Unlike other exfoliators that I've tried (and gave up), this product does not feel harsh on my skin and leaves no red irritated patches. Best of all, according to the description at the back of the bottle, this gel can also be used on other parts of the body!

Love it! :)
