The Body Shop's Cruelty Free Beauty Press Launch

Found a photograph of me doing The Body Shop Cruelty Free Press Presentation held on 14 March 2013 at the Raffles City boutique. Body Shop was launching their mono eyeshadows purely made out of natural pigments and ingredients without harming any bunnies in its process. And also with Leona Lewis's line of spring make up. Was a successful presentation despite some local celebrities ignoring my presentation and talking and laughing disrupting the bloggers concentration. U know who u are!

I also raved on ELLE Singapore about the mono eyeshadows being so intense and well pigmented, with fun colors to be adventurous and playful with one's make up!

Fat Girl Six Pack to the rescue!

Do you think I'll ever have a six pack again after bearing 2 children and gaining 20 kilos each time?!

Honestly, NO.

I've come to terms with the muffin top and saggy skin.

Scars to remind me of my child- bearing experiences.

Who cares really. As long as I don't look disgusting and make an effort to look good, no one's going to know what lies underneath : ).

Except ...my husband... Okayyyy... Here's the latest from Bliss, the 'Fat girl Six Pack'.

I say lets give this a shot, If not, theres always the tummy tuck to look forward to (eeeeeeeee!)

Exciting product alert!

Ok I must confess I have become an Ole Henriksen fan!

His "Ultimate Firming Serum' is doing major wonders to my face (I've now used half that bottle, it's awesome!!! I have a much tighter, firmer jaw line, no kidding!)

And I've been testing another product of his the last week, the 'Perfect Truth CC Creme' with SPF30.

This product comes in 3 shades n I'm using medium. Good enough coverage. With some loose powder on top n my base is done!

Smells super yummy too mmmmm!

My personal favourites this month

I love Japanese products and I love Shiseido!

This brand has been around over 140 years. Their products are just beautiful.

The simple and stylish packaging so attractive, and the make up products just divine to use.

I'm using the 'sheer & Perfect Foundation' on myself and for my photo shoots on models and clients.

Everyone loves it!

True to its word, It's sheer yet gives coverage so my models (& myself) don't feel like we're wearing so much make up that our skin can't breath.

I'm quite tanned but managed to find shade o60 suits me perfect!

This classic red lipstick RD553 from the 'Perfect Rouge' collection is stunning!

It's creamy, rich texture moisturizers throughout it's wear and doesn't make lips flakey.

A tomatoey, mustardy-red it looks gorgeous on a bare face. Just that happy colour every girl needs to brighten her face, enhance her tan n bring out those freckles (if u have any :))

Happy Anniversary Shu Uemura!

Thank you for the years of support you have given me! Shu Uemura makes such beautiful make up brushes that are built to last!
I have some wonderful Shu brushes that have been with me since the very beginning of my career (20 years!) and they still look spanking new and in great shape.

Love the candy palette too!

Sephora's Autumn/Winter highlights

Fantastic bag of goodies to go through again from super generous Sephora! Every girl's dream come true :)
So many great ones but I'm starting with 3 products first that I felt I need right now.

Am completely obsessed with slowing the aging process and Ole Henriksen's 'Ultimate Lift Firming Serum' was the first product I took out from the lot! Results were immediate! Love the scent as well, a hint of cucumber and slightly floral, the product didn't come with fragrance.
It left a tingling sensation, which I like cause I feel it proves the product is working on my skin.

First Aid Beauty's exfoliate, brighten &purify is a good facial wash too. Used it first on damp face followed with my best friend, the Clarisonic. Great foam, which I love! And it felt real good!

Peter Thomas Roth's 'Youth Eye Serum' has a very interesting package. I'm quite adverse to eye cream cause I find alot of them sting my eyes. It's been an hour now, no sting so far and really like the applicator. Thinking of putting it into the refrigerator so the steel applicator will be nice and cold, great for puffy eyes!

Will keep u posted on the other exciting products!

NARS Lippys are super!

Really fun crayons, really great shades of colors. At first i thought the whole set might be a bit too many colors to have but no! ALL the shades are so much fun!

Beauty Spread for Female Magazine with Jeanette Eljersen

Jeanette has such a knack for choosing the right model! Always slightly edgy, quirky and never too pretty. It's like picking a maroon over a candy pink..

Female Magazine Beauty Spread with Jeanette Eljersen

We played with lip colors and lipstick textures, its always nice to work with Jeanette. At my very first ever fashion shoot, it was with Jeanette that I worked with 20 years ago, a shoot for GO Magazine.

SK II Skin Cellumination Press Launch

SK II invited me and model/ host Valerie to test out their latest Cellumination skin care range for 3 weeks before the launch date. We had a lot of fun talking about the products in front of the press. And our skin was definitely glowing!
Thank you SK II!
