[Sponsored Advert] Have you been to Prevview yet?
Hey guys!
What's the first thought about interview?





Raise your hand if your answer is "Oh bummer, the freaking resume!"
Well today, I am gonna introduce you something fun and different from your
usual paper resume [the type you chunk in all your glorious achievements.]

It's this thing called PREVVIEW.

What is Prevview?

Cut the long story short, it is basically a VISUME [Read: Video Resume]

1) Dedicated Profile Page - Just like Facebook and it's Free!

Imagine having a jobseeker profile where you can express your true self 
professionally and effectively. Your outstanding soft skills and vibrant
personalities will no longer have to be dormant within a piece of paper. 
Prevview enables you to give a voice and personality to your paper resumes, through cutting edge video streaming technology. 

You no longer need to attach various documents to your potential employer.
Speak to them directly through your visumes and let them know why you
should be hired. Back your visumes up with downloadable important and
relevant documents such as cover letter, resume, portfolio and reference letters.

2. Two-Pronged Approach to Job Search

A) Search for Jobs with our comprehensive search function and apply
immediately. Because our Employers are provided with unlimited job postings,
jobseekers can rest assure that they will get the most updated job vacancies 
in town.

B) Be headhunted by registered Employers - All employers are provided with
the Search capability where they can search for and request to interview
candidates.

3) Privacy Settings

A) All profiles are viewable only by registered Employers. What's more, our 
technology ensures that Employers will not be able to save your video on their 
computers.

B) You have the option of keeping your profile entirely private [employers
cannot search for you, but you can browse through emplyer profiles and still
apply for jobs!]

C) The "Block" feature lets you insert keywords that will block views from
everyone associated with them. For e.g. Prevview is your employer and you do
not wish for them to see that you have a profile on the portal. Simply enter
Prevview as keyword and any Employer associated with Prevview will not be
able to view your profile!

Now, there's a very interesting thing going on over at Prevview.

It's... Visume War!

Hear Ye! Hear Ye! The Visumé Wars Have Begun!

 

Prevview.com has declared an official Visumé War in Singapore. We call upon everyone from the age of 18-35* to step into the professional battle field, in a quest to differentiate yourselves – it’s talent vs talent, Visumé vs Visumé!

Unlike any other video showdown, this war appeals to every jobseeker’s most basic struggles. That is, to stand out from the sea of jobseekers with similar talents and credentials and, to prevent themselves from being lost under a stack of paper resumes.
 
Entry is simple and the prizes, amazing. Whether you are looking to get your hands on a beautiful iPad2 or a job position [or both!] with our participating partners, this is competition for you.

 

The power to conquer is in your hands!

 

All you need to do is put together a Visume – what we at Prevview call Video Resumes – that will show and tell us why you would make a great employee. You can sing, dance, rap, produce a movie or even sell a brick. Be it creative or professional, do it your way and boldly express your best self.

 

50 prizes to be won!**

 

43 participants from Category A and Category B who have received the highest People's Choice scores will receive $10,000 worth of attractive prizes. Seven out of all the participants the Special Category will be placed in amazing job positions at the participating company of their choice [Winners are subjected to the discretion of our participating partner].

 

So, answer the declaration for war now - Prevview is providing you the weapon and you just have to bring it!

 

*The competition is open to anyone in any country. However, collection of prizes will be done in the Singapore Prevview office.

 

**Please refer to our Assessment Criteria for more information. 


Here are some tips for you to excel in your Visume!


1. Don't over do it; you'll kill it!
    - Really, you don't want to appear to be trying too hard.
2. Don't do someone you are not.
    - It's gonna be your potential employers. You don't want them to have this
       expectation of and be utterly disappointed you turned out different.
       It's always best to be natural, so if you get the job, you can be just as
      comfortable as always and not try to put up a false front.
3. Don't over think it; you are doing a video resume, not proving your I.T Skills.
    - It's a resume in video form, don't go being all stressed up about how to
      edit your video to perfection; you are not showcasing your editing skills
      here! (unless you are trying to impress potential employers your I.T skills]
4. Be confident!
    - No, your potential employer will not be impressed if you are stuttering or
      shivering. And please, articulate without the "lah", "leh" and "loh".
5. Film in a bright, neat place.
    - If you are caught a messy person, it will give a bad impression. And no, we
      are here to see a Video Resume, not some black figure with voice.

So get filming!
You can join the Visume Wars over HERE or if you are too camera shy, pop
over HERE to vote for your favourite Visume soldier!

[Event] Glam Me Up Style Session with Shunji Matsuo Part 1
Hey loves!

I have so many SOL/ event post recently that...
I think if your computer can't take it, it might explode from the influx of photo spam.




ごめん〜
Anyhow, I've finally managed to cut down the 400 over photos I took to just 196!
So I'm going to split this post up into 2  parts so it's not too heavy and I can still
review my products~
Well, here's part 1!

Tsuriki, Michiyo & I arrived pretty early~
that's because we had our K-session prior to this ^^;;
Why else will we ever be early? (笑)
So when we arrived...


FOOD!
yes, we were starving by then!
Here's a closeup of all the delicious babies~
Tsuriki & me favourite; CHICKEN! [#omgicannotlivewithoutchicken]



I think it's salmon being fried or something...

California Maki! [I think]

Takoyaki~

たまごやき!

すし!

美味しいな〜

おなかすいた〜

ツリキ x ミチヨ


三人一緒に〜

乾杯(?)!

Sitting down & chatting while waiting for more people to arrive

My food!

After food, we went out & got seated ^^


hurhurhur

Introduction~

#insertrandomphotowithClara

Introducing... Shunji San~

A little introduction about himself and his salon to us ^^

Now, our first "module"~ Hairstyles!

Shunji san explaining the different trends in Japan now. First up, round fringe!

Next... Braiding!

Trying to find an example for us

Got it!

I didn't capture shots for Bohemian & Odango~

Tsuriki & Michiyo sabotaged me at the "Hime-cut"~
hurhur, suits my name, yes?
Even my hair suits my name. kekekeke

#shunjisanrandomhappyface

Next up, face shape!

Shunji san showing us his few holy grail products when it comes to hair sprays

And... wax! [you will know which brand they are at the end of the post!]

the black cube is the strongest wax of the series from the brand~

Next, Shunji san borrowed Shuhei san's hands to show us the different hair tools
to use when styling our hair

I'm sure you guys are familiar with these, yes?
Round pin, bobby pin & rubber band.

rollers!

Combs (omg the pink one! *dies*)

Next, clip on fringe! Before: side sweep

After~ Hime cut fringe!

Another one~

Jang jang! [hair look like those of the models from popteen!]

Showing us bumpit

hair extensions

And this thingy that's quite popular now too~

jang jang jang!

curling tong/ hair curler!

Not to forget, mist! He was telling us how convenient the bottle is because it was designed by another hair stylist so the grip is really convenient!

He really likes it, hurhurhur

Now~ Time for us to be assigned our stylist for the night!
This is... Tsuriki's stylist, Yamapi!
When we all hear Yamapi while eating, we were like "omg yamapi?!?"
Yea, we are quite... silly.
She's from Japan and can only speak Japanese~

This guy is from Taiwan~ Sorry I didn't get his namecard so I'm not sure of the name.

& here's my stylist~ Shu Hei san!
Michiyo & I share the same stylist ^^
He's also from Japan and can speak some English!

I... can't remember where she's from.
Sorry T.T

This guy is from Korea~ Domo & Huitian got assigned to him!

From Shanghai~

Now before we start our private session, we were showed hairstyles by Shunji san
and.... (sorry I forgot the name omg #killsmyself) the lady!

The Model~

Take a good look at the "before"!

Tonging the hair~
She shared that in Japan, every girl has this mini hair curler in their bag and at the
toilets in subway stations, you can see girls tonging their hair and it's no big!
[imagine me doing that in Singapore... heck, we don't even have powerpoints for plugging in!]


Showing us that we show tong at 45 degrees as it's easier to do so~

Demo by the model herself

& over here, Shunji san had her model wear these roller beforehand

Taking them out

tada!

Now to start styling...


Back comb!

Yes, just by back combing. no spray involved yet!

dudududu

Peeks at the other side~

Felt like it was some hair showdown!

Slowly staring to see what he is trying to do~


If you read Jap magazines, this kinda hairstyle is actually quite popular in Japan.

No, not this. we are not done yet!

Arranging the hair~

Setting it!

hurhur, she's checking out the competition!
(look at how pretty the hair is becoming!)

Yes, I'm keeping up with my momentum again~ *proud of myself*
By the way, don't forget to vote for me over HERE alright?

Click on the big red VOTE button to vote for me ^^
It's a daily thing, so I will really appreciate your help!

Okay, back to blogging!
So after lunch, headed down town with Tsuriki as she is there to join in the SoMe day!
 
hurhur, pop by~


Check in with foursquare to get a cute pin!
I don't use foursquare anymore~ but the guy still gave me a pin ^^
 
merong~
 
Waiting for our photos to be printed!
 
After collecting our photos~ Went up to level 5 to look for the booth Tsuriki was supposed to
be stationed~
 
Pleasant suprise~ Saw Angie!
 
And her  friend, Fenny!


Took a shot with her, hurhur

 Waiting for Tsuriki to be briefed~


Then we headed down outside AKB48 Cafe to peek!


I will talk about the food there next time~ Went there last sun already~ hurhur!
 
& we actually bumped into Elfaine!


She still #fail at taking pictures with my camera xD


After this, went to get Arteas bubble tea with Tsuriki & BFF then parted with Tsuriki cos she
had to go do her duties for the SoMe!

Haven't been craving for rice for a long time, suddenly felt like eating the chicken rice from
far east plaza and so... I had it!
 
Okay, of  course I had it with the chicken [hello, my no.1 favourite food!]
 
As usual, camwhore before we eat!
 
So we roamed around, shopping and all~ (that's where I bought my 3 pairs of megane!)
Headed back to Scape to check out the flea but alot of thigns were already closed ):
Domo & HT actually went to scape after their session of Judy Lin Beauty talk to find Tsuriki~
They saw me at scape and shouted for me, hurhurhur.
Then Tsuriki called and the next thing that happens is...
 
Yes, food again.  #sinful
 
Clear shot by me!
 
All the shots by BFF is #fail!




all blurry!


 love for my megane!
 
Finally, dessert is here! Shared this mango treat with BFF~

my random box of neoprints


Commercial break~ Selca time!


By the way, I am using eyelid fibre, which is why my creases are so beautiful~


Domo & ht shared this


After desserts, we headed over to Orchard central to sit, talk and stone ^^


many many camwhore shots from here on, hurhurhur






#randomcandid




With HT & bff

[Event] Judy Lin Beauty Talk Show at Tampines One

Did you guys miss me?
hurhurhur~
I was so beat from resizing and editing the photos last night that I just fell asleep on my desk (again!)

So anyway, I'm here with lotsa piccies ^^

It's too picture heavy, so I'm gonna be splitting this post into 2 as usual; Event & After/pre event post.

So I arrived the venue ultra late with Clara, my bimbo partner!
She was later than me, so I had to wait for her!


When we got there,  Ms Judy Lin was already explaining about these products which help to tone our body (:
[Anosa Patch]



Answer questions and you actually get to win them!



Lucky person D:


Left 2 more to giveaway D:


Honestly, first thing that I took notice of when I saw her was her figure.
How can be so nice one?!


I also want D:


My #foreverrunning bimbo partner


Oh yes, thanks for BeautyBistro for providing us with a generous goodie bag!



"Because we were late, our seats were given away" face


But we deserved it D:


Me & my excessive winking *stares at Tsuriki's video*


Back to the talk!
Ms Judy doing the hair for a lucky lady volunteer!


Don't forget to accessarize your hair! It's no longer as easy as just curling/ tonging/ straightening your hair these days!


Completed~


#random BP trying to "show off" her camera in front of mine *cough cough*
 

Next we have a product that I personally have been eyeing on for super long; the dust it volumizing powder!
Before~ see how flat the back of the head is?
 

Just a little bit of teasing and the hair is much more volumized!
 

The product I was most interested in~ cos it's... whitening related xD
 

Welcome our brave volunteer!
 

I will die from stage fright if I were in that position [as much as I want to T.T]
 

 

Unglam much but doing this actually helps in blood circulation too!
Better circulation = lesser water retention in your face!


All in the name of a slimmer, firmer face!
 

Sorry I couldn't capture the difference well~ But the left of her face actually looks more "V-shaped"?
*palm face* I meant it looked slimmer and toned. Do it on both sides of your face for a "V-shaped" face!
 

Slightly closer picture~
 

Next, putting on makeup!
 

See the white spiral bits? They are actually beneficial to your skin!
 

Looks super interesting!
 

Next product has something to do with reducing the temperature of our face as well as hydrate it!
SHILLS Moisturizing & Whitening Cold Gel Mask
Ms Judy holding the devices to measure temperature & moisture level of skin!
 

Measuring the moisture level before applying the mask ~
 

And then after 5 minutes~ The temperature went down & moisture level increased! [sorry, I can't remember the readings T.T]
 

Finally, after much talking, Ms Judy went to have a quick break before her second session starts!
 

I got sold for a few products~
I didn't choose the Moisturizing & Whitening Cold Gel mask for my goodie bag but after her demo, I was really tempted by it!
Definitely want to try it~ Waiting for reviews from my BP! hahaha!

After event, went to have a late lunch!
 

camwhore starts!


The only group shot, I look ugly but had to post it since only had one xD


I've been lovin' neko pose alot recently~
 

Big head shot that Tsuriki taught me!
 

 

#random
 

Spotted, BP camwhoring!
 

This piccie was supposed to be normal, but her lashes were dropping so she did a last minute wink~
#lifeisunfair
 

She reminds me of Nichkhun, hurhur~
Cos we are always like "Tsuriki, wink!"
Nichkhun ever made the comment that he's not a winking machine whereby you put a coin in and a wink comes out xD
 

Angry bird cat


Nyan~ Still fiesty!
 

 

caught between doing neko and fat cheek. hurhurhur
 

Karmun with BP Clara
 

Shot 2


Time for food shots, yes?
My lemon juice~ [thirsty! Feel like drinking it nao T.T]
 

Appetizer soup~
 

Poor Tsuriki~ her cammie died on her halfway through the show ):
 

Oh wells, can alway camwhore with me HURHURHUR <3
 

いただきます!
 

私の食べ物〜Carbonara! BP had the same food as me!
 
Tsuriki の Beef Lasagna (I think)
 

Karmun's Baked rice (mushroom and cheese I think?)
 

It tasted so-so =/ Oh yes we ate at delifrance by the way~
 





#uselesswinkingagain
 
Domo & HT (& TTJ Yijing) signed up for the 2nd show.
Domo & HT came to join us for lunch~
 

Sexyback!
 

Final photo before I end this post!
 

Thank you Louisa for the invite and Beauty Bistro (:
I really had fun!

Before Shunji Matsuo Event; Karaoke & プリクラ!

お休み(?)みんあさん〜
It's pretty late at night nao!
Yet I am here, your hardworking ブロガ bringing you an update :3
Since I have over 400 photos from the Shunji Matsuo event, I decided to split up into pre-event and during event piccies.
 After filtering and dividing, Shunji Matsuo "during event" piccies still amount to a staggering 266.
Sigh, I gotta find a way to cut it down further before resizing them or I will be doing unnecessary work.
So here's the pre-event activities with Tsuriki & Michiyo!
Met for lunch! Michiyo was super duper late, tsk tsk tsk!
Guess where we had our lunch~
 

lunched at Shokudo (:
hungry face *o*
 

Everyone, kill her! [because she can wink so perfectly and photogenic]


Poor Tsuriki, having wisdom tooth pain!
 

Then, Michiyo finally arrived!


Us waiting for our nom nom to arrive
 

hurhur her salad. We all thought it was gonna be a tiny tiny bowl but it turned out to be 2-3 times 
larger than we expected!
 

Tsuriki happy with her food~
 
But she waited for us (:
 

Now everyone together~
 

Honestly, I keep missing my own camera angle that day! #killsmyself
 

recommended by Michiyo~ So we had the same food (:
 

いただきます!
 

 美味しいだよ〜


After lunch, プリクラ!
 

 Here are our completed プリクラ piccies!






 





Shameless 13th August-ers letting Michiyo do the labour!


hurhurhur, she cut the プリクラ till she went kuku!


While we camwhored


Tsuriki even laughed at her!


After our プリクラ〜 headed to Kbox @ Scape to since Karaoke!
 

Capsule look-alike room!
 

Sorry that I'm a mountain turtle. This is touch screen and is actually pretty updated! [had f(x) pinocchio!]
 

 

 

nyan~
 

 Utada Hikaru - First love! [Theme song for 魔女の条件!]


Michiyo selecting her songs~


We sang a duet together! no piccies unfortunately ):
We duet Jejung & Yuchun Colors~ Melody & Harmony!
Happy ^^ Been wanting to duet that for the LONGEST TIME EVER!


Featuring Tsuriki's legs~
 

Happy girl here (:
 

After Singing, head over to Heeren for Shunji event!
touchup in toilet first ^^
 

Spotted!


Camwhoring!


#Iamaoutcast

Candy Doll Liquid Foundation in Shade 01 「キャンディドール リキッドファンデーション 01」 Review
Sorry this took so long!
I seldom use liquid foundation, so I had to try and work around with it before I
could come up with my review ^-^




Product weight & Price


When used


Candy Doll Liquid Foundation in Shade 01
「キャンディドール リキッドファンデーション01」 :

Product Weight : 30g

Product Ingredients: Gomen ne, too many technical names that cannot be
translated/ turned out weird so I shall not list the ingredients here. However,
ingredients can be found on the packaging & at the website in Japanese.

Foundation type: Liquid

Packaging: 9.5/10 - I really like this packaging [not only because there are
pink bits ^^''] Firstly, it comes in a  packaging akin to our "liquid correction
tape" which is mega hygienic. You have to shake before dispensing, very
sanitary too! [Because you drip the product on your hand, so there is
absolutely zero contact with the mouth of the product bottle.] The bottle is
translucent, so you can see how much product still remains.

Coverage: 7/10 - This foundation provides a medium to medium-high
coverage. Red spots can be concealed [I skip concealer most of the time but
even if I need a fuller coverage on the day of using this, I do not see the need
to add on concealer too]

Texture: 7/10 - The texture is very fluid, slightly [really very very slightly]
viscous. However, it did not really pose much of a problem in terms of
application. After application, it does not feel heavy on my face too [which is
really the best part! I shunned away from foundation all the time because I
tried several liquid ones and they provide really good coverage but I do feel a
tad bit like there's a gunk/ layer on my face. I think most foundation give me
this kind of feeling because they provide really good coverage, which I don't
need.]

Blendability : 8/10 - It blends good! I use a foundation brush when blending,
and just my fingers when I'm in a rush. Both did not pose any problems like
patchy-ness.

Lasting Power: 7.5/10 - It lasted pretty darn long. The above picture of me
was taken about 4.5 hours after applying the foundation. Still awesome
coverage!

Availability: 8.5/10 - It is retailing in Watsons Singapore and I'm sure you
have a Watsons near you! You can also get this item online from BlingAlways

Price: 4/10 - I personally think the price is over the top. I got a friend who
went Japan to buy it for me, so I paid 2310 yen (approx. SGD $36) for it. If you
talk about how long one can use it for, doing the "amount per day" calculation,
yes it might be worth it but compared to other brands and foundations
available [talking about drugstore], this is definitely much more expensive.
Watsons is selling it at SGD $41.90 [understandable that they have to be
on par with Japan pricing and recoup shipping. Online, BlingAlways sells it at SGD $38.90.

Repurchase: Yes. For starters, I am totally sold by the packaging. It's so
compact and convenient to bring around, the consistency and texture of the
product felt comfortable on my skin. However, the price being a huge setback,
might make me do a double take in future or I will perhaps use this pretty
seldom since it's difficult to repurchase and expensive.

Overall Rating: 7/10

I wanted to throw a 7.5, but looking at the availability issue and price again,
settled with a 7. Love hate relationship with this product. [I just don't seem to
be able to justify paying so much for drugstore foundation D: Then again, it's
Tsu-chan...] Not a holy grail/ must have product I would say, there are better
or equivalent products out there for similar price. If you haven't gotten it/ tried
it, you are not really missing out much!

Still, if you wish to get it, I will recommend to head over to BlingAlways to
purchase it as of the few online shops that carry it, it is by far the cheapest 
of them all! Do remember to quote "LoveHimeko" for Free Postage! :3


Oh yes, don't forget to "like" BlingAlways Facebook Page too!
[ahem ahem, and mine too!]

[Event] Spa Espirit - Power of Scent Essential Oils Workshop

Hello loves (:
I'm gonna be talking about something a little different from the usual stuff.

You know, you always hear me rambling on and on and on about makeup and stuff.
How about something that can help you cleanse?

It's about the Spa Esprit Power of Scent workshop!
It was being held at House at Dempsy (:

Honestly,  I'm glad I turned up for this workshop because I learnt so much about Essential Oils!

All Essential Oils below are from doTERRA.

I was a little lost as my dad drove me there and I told him to drop me once I saw the "House" logo.
Apparently I was at the wrong entrance ._.
Thank god Yijing & Domo came out to bring me there! [Thanks domo for buying me milk pan too!]

A few facts that I've learnt [I'm totally ignorant when it comes to essential oils, sorry if I'm stating things which
make you you "Oh, that is not even new!"]

1. You can use Essential Oils in food.
No, I didn't know that you can just drip some lemon essential oil into your glass of water!

2. You can use Essential Oils on your body directly.
Told you I am a noob. Using Lavender on your body can help with Sunburn! [I will talk more about some uses of the oils in abit]

3. Yes, you can smell it directly from the bottle.
I always thought that Essential Oils have to be pot on this thingy with a candle burning below the dish and used
as aroma therapy.

4. The oil is not limited to just calming your nerves.
I think "Aroma therapy" is being overly publicized and I always had this misconception that the main use of oils is
for calmin ourselves after a long day. No! There are many other uses too [Sliming anyone? Or even Impotency (laughs)]

And the list goes on!

I missed out the presentation part because I was late for the workshop ):
Terribly sorry, I wish I had been present!
Thankfully, they were really very nice and friendly and answered any queries we had so that was not a huge problem for me.

I turned up when the workshop started!
The place where it was held


Pretty, right?
I like how they use so much wood in the setup of the whole place!
Loved the ambience!

I came right at intermission [laughs]
So I had a quick bite


Okay, back to workshop.
So we were each given a beaker of shower gel to customize our very own blend of scent!


They generously provided us with so much essential oils to use!


As you can see, some of them are already blended
E.g:

Breathe [$26.67][Respiratory Blend, for respiratory support] - Laurel Leaf, Peppermint, Eucalyptus, Melaleuca, Lemon, Ravensara
Deep Blue [$42.67] [Soothing Blend, for muscle and joint health] - Wintergreen, Camphor, Peppermint, Blue Tansy, German Chamomile, Helichrysum, Osmanthus
DigestZen [$41.33] [Digestive Blend, for natural digestive support] - Ginger, Peppermint, Tarragon, Fennel, Caraway, Coriader, Anise]
On Guard [$42.67] [Protective Blend, for natural immune defense] - Wild Orange, Clove, Cinnamon, Eucalyptus, Rosemary]
Slim & Sassy [$32.67] [Metabolic Blend] - Grapefruit, Lemon, Peppermint, Ginger and Cinnamon

Well, I wanted to make my own unique blend so I didn't use them ^^
Before we start, we were taught about the base note, middle note and top note.
How to create the perfect, lasting, balanced scent!


Here's a brief shot of the chart with the notes the oils are used in.
Since we are beginners, we were adviced to stick to just 3 types of essential oils ^^
We were not limited to having to choose a base, middle and top note though.
It's a totally "up to you" thing, if we wanted something balanced, then an oil from each note will be ideal.
If it's just something that smells good, then just throw in all that we like!


So, if you want a particular effect/ use for your blend, some recommendations given were:

Antidepressant: Uplifting, counteracting melancholy.
Essential Oils Recommendations: Bergamot, Citronella, Clary Sage, Geranium, Grapefruit, Jasmine, Lavender, Lemongrass, Litsea Cubeba, Melissa, Neroli, Orange, PAtchouli, Petitgrain, Basil, Rose, Rosemary, Rosewood, Ylang Ylang.

Oh, just to let you know, Geranium is a good substitute for Rose if you like rose but think it's too costly.
[Rose cost about $300 per 15ml bottle while Geranium is only about $36, 1/10 of the price!]

Cardiac: Stimulating effect upon the heart
Essential Oils Recommendations: Aniseed, Black Pepper, Caraway, Camphor, Cinnamon, Hyssop, Nutmeg, Thyme

Decongestant: Releasing Nasal Mucous
Essential Oils Recommendations: Cajuput, Eucalyptus, Garlic, Lavender, Lavender Spike, Linden Blossom, Niaouli, Pepperming, Pine

Antispasmodic: Relieves Cramp
Angelica, Aniseed, Basil, Bay, Bergamot, Black Pepper, Cajuput, Camphor, Cedarwood, Cinnamon,CVlove, Cypress, Nutmeg, Orange, Peppermint, Pine, Rose, Thyme, etc (this one has too many to list!)

Vermifuge: Expulsion of worms
Essential Oils Recommendations: Basil, Bergamot, Cajuput, Camphor, Caraway, Carrot Seed, Chamomile, Cinnamon, Clove, Eucalyptus, Fennel, Garlic, Hyssop, Santolina, Lemon, Niaouli, Peppermint, Tarragon, TereBinth, Thyme

So on and so forth!
If you have any "use" you are interested in, you can drop me a comment and I'll check it out for you (:


Oh, if you are into Whitening, Citrus oils are good [like Orange, Lemon, Lime, etc]
But important thing to note, do apply sunblock if you use alot of whitening stuff because of photosensitivity!

Personally, I wanted something that smells good, multi-purpose [*cough* whitening *cough* slimming *cough*] and balanced.
Sounds like alot yes?

Well... After alot of smelling and more smelling, I used these in my blend of oils:

Bergamot [I mistook this as a base note ):] [$36.67/15ml]


Lemon [I love the smell!] [$13.33/15ml]


Grapefruit [In the name of the slimming property, hurhurhur] [$2.33/15ml]


I cheated and added 6 drops of Frankincense [$93/15ml] because I was lacking a base note and I wanted a balanced scent no matter what!
So mine had 4 types of oils in my shower gel!
Mixing, dropping, smelling!


Hurhurhur~ I smelt so much that day, my nose started to be... not smelling anything!


Then after I was satisfied with my scent, poured it into these bottles provided!
I felt it wasn't strong enough, but then again I smelt so much that day and I might not be right.
Also, the smell will "marinate" and intensify after sitting a few days so...
It turned out good!


So now that we have our shower gels...
What are they doing? [Sorry, my dark circles are HORRIBLE]


A shot with Sharon


& finally, I see tiff!


One more, hurhurhur


Of cos, with Domo, who was the one that brought me there!


TEEHEE


Sadly, didn't take with Junior ):

Took 2 shots for Tiff & Sharon




Thank you sharon for driving us out of Dempsy and dropping us a Galleria DFS!
I thought I will upload more fun [albeit unglam] shots since I've been so wordy for the first part of this post!


See tiff, so spontaneous hurhurhur


I only realised Yijing was flicking when I QC this post. -_- Since I made an effort to resize and chop my watermark,
here you go.


At the end of the fun workshop, we were given this bag!


My 2 bottles of shower gel


Mini samples & a voucher from Spa Esprit


Information I will need!


The shower gel provided managed to fill up 2 full bottles!
If you followed my FB page, you might have seen this picture I uploaded right after the event which stated that...
I'm giving away one of the two bottles I made!
That's a shower gel with a scent custom made and blended by yours truly!


I'm on a roll for giveaway lately huh?
[check out my leave-on conditioner giveaway too]

So here's how you can win a bottle of this shower gel:

Step One:  "Like" my facebook page

Step Two:
Comment on my facebook page why you want the shower gel [I'm not asking you to say that you like me, but you know... like lemon is being used in the blend, so you can comment something like "I want a mood elevation shower gel"]

That's it ^^

Don't forget to "Like" Spa Esprit's Facebook Page!

Honestly, I'm so interested in quite a few of the essential oils that I'm thinking to get them for my mum and dad as well as myself! [I doubt my bro will use it even if I get one for him.]
I will probably get them when I pop back there to use my voucher!

I hope you guys gained a little more insight to essential oils!
[That fact that I can use them in water is like... so amazing to me! Convenient too~ Hopefully the taste will be good and
I will start drinking water for a change. I hate drinking plain water!]

[Sponsored] Achieve Gorgeous hair with Sunsilk! (read till the end to win a leave-on conditioner!)

Hey loves.

Remember I went for an event some time ago?
Well, it was held at Ben & Jerry's at Vivocity!


And it was for....



Sunsilk!


So, who haven't heard of Sunsilk?
I'm sure even if you live under a rock, you must know/ heard of Sunsilk before!

Do you know...

Many famous celebrities have been the face pf Sunsilk?

For instance,




Shakira


If that's not cool enough, how about...

Madonna?


And the legendary (>^-^<)

Marily Monroe


Come on, these style icons are still not enough to convince you?!
How about The Famous Five facts about Sunsilk?

They were:
1. First to introduce the one-wash shampoo in 1954

Where were you back in 1954?!
And can you imagine all the time and hassle that a one-wash shampoo saved us?
It's all about fast and convience these days [a good example will be the BB Cream
craze; it's overtaking asia because of it's "one-step" claim] and Sunsilk realised it
way back in 1954!

2. First to introduce products for specific hair types in 1962

Ladies, our hair is just like our skin. There NEEDS to be specific formulation for
the many different HAIR CONDITION each has! Can you believe that way way
back before Sunsilk introduced this, everyone just used one type of shampoo
for all kinds of hair? Just imagine, hair taming shampoo for frizzy and unmanagable
hair used on someone with oily scalp and flat hair.
I can't imagine what that person's head/ hair will look like in the long run.
Already so flat, still tame?!

3. First to add olive oil to products to condition, soften and tame hair in 1966

I bet those people back then never imagined or explored on the idea of using
the oil which they use for cooking to be used in/ on other things besides food!

4. First to introduce the two-in-one shampoo in 1987

Once again, TIME SAVING! First, they shed some time off our hair regime with
one-wash shampoo. 33 years later, they shed more time off with two-in-one
shampoo!

5. First to work with world-leading hair experts to co-create products in 2009.

Do you know that Sunsilk worked with SEVEN Hair experts?
They are:

1. Rita Hazan - Colour Care Expert
- appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show
- Clientele include Jessica Simpson, Jennifer Lopez, Jessica Biel
- Appaered in Elle, Glamour and Vogue

2. Teddy Charles - Shape & Length Expert

- His flare for contemporary femininity & Glamour with an edgy bohemian sensibility made him and obvious choice for Calvin Klein and GAP.
- Clientele include Sarah Jessica Parker, Blake Lively and Hayden Panettiere.

3. Thomas Taw - Dry & Damage Expert
- After his stint as Senior Creative Director at Aveda, he opened his Soho Salon
(BOBSOHO) in 2007
- speaks at educational seminars
- His team's work regularly grace the pages of fashion bibles like Vogue and Elle.

4. Yuko Yamashita - Smooth Expert
- Created "Yuko Hair Straightening". If you haven't heard of it, I'm telling you now!
It was created by Yuko in the early 90's and awarded a Japanese Patent in 1995.
The Yuko System Hair Straightening made it's debut in US after it was awarded
a US patent in 2000.
- This system is actually PERMANENT. Majority of clients who did this
did not see their original curl re-appear in the treated hair.

5. Ouidad - Curls Expert
- First stylist to open a "curls-only" salon in USA.
- Trusted expert in Cosmopolitan and Shape
- Appeared on Today Show & CNN

6. Jamal Hammadi - Shine Expert

- Evangelista actually FLEW HIM OVER TO LONDON to style her hair for a Vogue Cover shoot!

Magazine, InStyle, Allure and more!



Now, enough of introduction, to the fun part!

The event to let us know more about Sunsilk was a fun/ free & easy one!
Shawn (Brand Manager) and Shuyun (Brand Executive) gave us some tips on
hair care and some cute demonstrations!
Using the silky smooth & manageable as an example,


(in case you are curious)


Teaching us how we should apply our leave-on conditioner.


First, on his imaginary hair


Then he realised it will work better with his "Hair model"

hurhurhur!



Giving a conclusion to the fun session


Then, it's time for us to mingle around and throw questions if we have any!
We were allowed to choose whatever we want and play inside to create our own
ice cream!




Choosing the ice creams~

And so... I picked my mix!


Tsuriki and her selection


hurhurhur


I'm a happy girl with mine!


Adding more stuff on top for that extra flavour~


Sorry I didn't manage to take pictures of myself because I had to hold my ice
cream so self camwhoring is a challenge.
(笑)
So more Tsuriki for you.


So here's how mine looked like in the end!


Her's looks nicer visually (I was only concerned about throwing all that I want and
eating it ASAP xD)


Of course, some shots before we get to eating.




After this relaxing time spent with everyone, we each got to bring home a bag
of goodies! [gotta pardon the bag though....]


Peek-a-boo~


Out came...


Press release




The products given to me!
[plus points for them being in PINK! They are from the Silky Smooth & Manageable
range!]


2 Sunsilk Co-Creations Silky Smooth & Manageable 350mL Shampoo [SGD $6.70 Each]


1 Sunsilk Co-Creations Silky Smooth & Manageable Conditioner [SGD $6.70 Each]


1 Sunsilk Co-Creations Silky Smooth & Manageable Treatment [SGD $7.90 Each]

4 Sunsilk Co-Creations Silky Smooth & Manageable Leave-on Conditioner [SGD $4.75 Each]

Now, remember these?


Usually I will test products out for at least 1-2 weeks before giving you any verdict/
review.

For this, I didn't need to.



While you might think it's just an advertorial.... It's actually a product I swear by.
Or should I say, my family swear by.
Just... look.


Told ya!
I didn't have to give my hair time to adjust/ try the product.
My hair is awesome like this:


Because I've been using them since forever ago!
I don't remember when I started using, but my mum have been using this her
whole life and I just used whatever she bought so...

TA-DA!
Awesome hair for you, despite all that damage I inflicted on my tress with all that
bleaching! [Now maybe that's why my hair is naturally straight, as if they went
through rebonding?]


As you can see from above, I've been using the shampoo and conditioner from
Sunsilk my whole life.
I did tried the leave-on conditioner briefly for a few months about 1 or 2 years ago
[once again, because my mum bought them] and loved it!
Though I changed my leave-on conditioner a few times now [actually, I don't
even use any now, too busy to add that to my regime!], I started using these
again for the purpose of this post and needless to say, I loved it like how I did 2
years back!


1 thing, however, was new for me.
That is the treatment!


I was a little afraid of using such product because I fear they will make my
oh-so-flat-and-straight hair even flatter [is that even possible?!]

Thankfully, this didn't do that!
I thought it might make my hair/scalp oily but it worked out fine.
It's like hair mask to pamper my tresses once a week!
The scent is not too bad too (:


Now once again, I shall show off my pretty and awesome conditioned hair to you!

Don't be jealous, you can have hair like this too!
If you are afraid of trying something new/ of change, fear that the product might
not be suitable/ useful for your hair, why not grab a FREE SAMPLE to try it out
a little bit?
When I say FREE, I meant it in a "no conditions attached" way.
