LASER Hair Removal (DavidLoh Aesthetics)
When I was contacted to be told I was being sponsored a free session of Laser Hair Removal at DavidLoh’s Aesthetic Clinic, I was a little bit apprehensive.
What if it hurts??
What if it scars??
What if it doesnt turn out right??
But all my doubts were eliminated, by Dr.DavidLoh, of DavidLoh Aesthetic Clinic.
Dr.David Loh is the official Allergan appointed trainer for all new doctors in Singapore since 2006. He has trained more than 100 doctors in Singapore and the region on the finer techniques in BOTOX and filler injections.
He patiently sat me through the procedure and explained to me the difference between IPL and LASER HAIR REMOVAL.
It may sound the same but its TWO totally different processes.
IPL is a more common hair removal process and has been around for a while now but did you know, IPL is NOT RECOMMENDED FOR DARKER SKINS??
This is because with IPL, certain frequencies can destroy dark skin regions, and may cause irregularity in the skin colour.
But with LASER HAIR REMOVAL, it is very much suitable for ANY skintone, including darker tones! 
The process that was done for me, was the COOLGLIDE LaserHairRemoval.
HOW DOES IT WORK??
Light from the laser light that falls onto the hair bulb (the bottom most part the hair follicle) is of a strong enough intensity. This pulse of light must also be of a short enough duration that it spares the surrounding tissues.The hair bulb is destroyed and some stem cells along the hair shaft survives and later produces small tufts of fine hairs again, although at a much slower rate
(Read more here: http://davidloh.sg/laser-treatment/coolglide.htm)
I had an unsightly and very stubborn hair on the side of my cheeks.
A very cooling gel is applied to the area and the process begins almost immediately!
I would rate the pain as 2/10 !
It was almost painless!
See the ‘burnt’ our hair strands!
HOW DO YOU FEEL AFTER THE PROCESS:
I kept looking at my face, every chance I could! My skin looked alot more cleaner. Of course there was some redness and bumps, but that went away after a few hours.
DO YOU SEE IMMEDIATE RESULTS:
Well once the first process is done, you get a 50% LESSER HAIR GROWTH. But one visit is never enough! If you want to see proper results its ALWAYS RECOMMENDED to go 3-4 times! (depending on hair and area of concern)
After your 2nd or third visit, you see up to 80% LESSER HAIR GROWTH!
So if you hate the pain of having to go threading very regularly then maybe LASER HAIR REMOVAL is the solution for you!
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST:
Well as mentioned, this was sponsored so I didnt pay anything but it is valued at $250. For more details, you can call up the clinic and enquire.
**One of my readers will get a FREE Laser Hair removal (Valued at $250!) session at Dr.DavidLoh’s clinic!!
Stay tuned to find out how!**
Thank you Dr.Loh!
I will do a “post surgery” entry in about 2-3 weeks time

Do you use a LipLiner??
I bought three new MAC Lip pencils few days back. Im a sucker for lip pencils. I feel lipstick application is incomplete without a Lipliner!
Most people dont use a lipliner.
Well for those who dont use a lip pencil, Id suggest start using one! You’ll see a difference!
HOW DO I USE A LIP LINER?
I line the perimeter of my lips, and then FILL in my lips wit the lip pencil as well. This is because the lip pencil acts as a BASE for the lipstick you will apply later.
If you’re anything like me, your lipstick would be half eaten by noon! So with a lip pencil, even when your lipstick fades away, you still have that bit of colour on your lips left by the lip pencil.
*You can easily watch any of my videos and you’ll see me lining my lips and then filling in my lips with the lip liners.
WHAT COLOURS SHOULD I USE?
Your safest bet would be:
- Natural tones,
- tones similar to YOUR Lip colour
- tones similar to the lipstick you are about to apply over your Lipliner
WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR HIGHLY RECOMMENDED LIP LINERS?
- MakeupForever Lipliners (VERY long lasting on the lips!)
- MAC Cosmetics Lip Pencils (They are SOOOOO soft, a lil too brittle for some, but very easily glides onto the lips)
- Sephora Nano Lipliner (These Mini little lipliners are so CUTE They are very creamy and dont feel drying on the lips)
It may seem a little troublesome to some to have to line your lips when you can just slap on some gloss instead but like I said, if you talk alot, lick your lips alot etc.. you would notice your lipstick fading away fast. So trust me, a lipliner will be your new best friend.

TheBodyShop MAGIC eyeshadows!
I was wandering around The BodyShop and this shimmer cube colours totally caught my eye! I normally see the duller tones(maroon/silver etc) but these colours were bright! LOVE IT!
The green & Blue are my fav of course!!
These are EyeShimmers! My bestie introduced them to me couple of months back. I was so amused when she showed me these “MAGIC” eyeshadows!
So they look like this… WHITE shadows with pretty blue-ish green and gold undertones…
When swatched… at different angles, you can see the lovely iridescence!
But do you know what hapens when you LAYER them OVER BLACK eyeshadow??
They turn into the most gorgeous shade of GOLD and blue-ish green colours!!!
I know its not MAGIC but hey, its pretty cool!!

BobbiBrown Blusher & Shimmerbrick Haul
So I had $110 worth of Taka vouchers waiting to be spent , and yesterday I planned to use it to buy TWO shimmer bricks from BobbiBrown
I have been eyeing one for a while now.
SO I went down to get the NECTAR shimmerbrick and another colour….
BUT I saw their blushers and got tempted! FIRST thing I asked the SA, “Do you sell empty palettes?”
Her answer caused me to spend A LOT more than I expected!
They have either a 3 well, 4 well, or 6 well palette. And for their current promo, get any two eyeshadow or blusher and get the palette FREE!
I was so happy!!!!
I chose 4 lovely blusher shades (Coral for tanned skintone, Brown for contouring sinceits matte and VERY close to MAC Raiziin which is my fav, Plum for darker skintones, and Pink for fairer skintones…see when you’re a MUA, you dont tend to buy Makeup for yourself…)
but the NECTAR shimmerbrick is so damn pretty I cant help but want it all for myself!! 
(SGD66 each)
I LOOOOVE the glow and slight wash of peachyness!!! ♥

My blushers (SGD39 each)
REVIEW: THANN Rice Extract Body Milk
I was pleasantly surprised when the lovely Shirley from Thann, sent me two bottles of SeaFoam Rice Extract BodyMilk. If you click *here*, you’d read my previous entry on when I attended the private opening of Thann’s first ever concept store in Singapore.
At that point I wasnt very much interested cuz skincare wasnt a fancy to me. I mean sure, I take care of my skin but I dont fuss over skincare etc. But I remember falling in love with all the amazing soothing scents from the products at Thann. and best still, they were reasonably priced!
I had purchased their Aromatherapy Shower Gel (SGD20.00!)when I was there and within a week, the shower gel was almost gone! Cuz my younger brother was sneakily using it. When I questioned him, he told me the smell was too inviting! And it was true! The shower gel had such a enticing peppermint smell! Ohh thinking about it now makes me wanna go down to Thann and get two bottles!!
So this Rice Extract Body Milk that Shirley sent me, is basically made from the highest quality of Rice Bran Oil.
I got to admit, just the words “BodyMilk” felt very luxurious. But finding out that rice bran oil actually helps act as a SUNSCREEN, helps to PREVENT WATERLOSS and acts as an ANTI OXIDANT was very impressive!
When I first smelt it, it wasnt that great.. I thought to myself that it wasjust another average smelling lotion.. BUT, after applied it on my arms, I was closing the cap of the bottle when the smell suddenly hit me! And I could sniff out the enticing peppermint and Eucalyptus scent that got me going crazy over the previous Showe Gel I had bought! Im such a sucker for Peppermint and Eucalyptus! Its just an amazing soothing scent.
Reading the back of the bottles, confirmed those scents, as well as the presence of Thyme, Rosemary etc…
If you’re a fan of aromatheraphy then I assure you, these products from Thann will hit the right chords for you!
Thann is available at many countires worldwide
Asia (Brunei, China, Indenosia, Japan, Malaysia, India etc…)
Europe( France, Germany, Portugal, Sweden, Poland etc…)
