Firming Sculpting

Is it necessary to put firming sculpting cream? and when should we start?
I always believe that prevention is better cure. Yes you should start way before you bust starts sagging and wrinkles starts forming at your décolleté.

So what do i feel about this Maria Galland Firming Bust Sculpting Veil?
It has firming, lifting and moisturising effects!
I suggest not to put excessive amount when using.
Small amount at a time and massage it into your skin.
Excessive amount can cause you to feel oily and sticky after application.

I remember once i met a lady and her neck was totally smooth with little or no lines. She looks like she is in her 30's but her neck looks like 20's. When i ask her about her age, she was actually in her 40's! She started putting neck cream at the age of 20! Did it help her and her neck remain smooth? of course! Would her neck be so nice if she only started at the age of 40? i doubt so.

Prevention is always always better than cure! Everything should start young and anywhere between 25 to 30 will be a good age to start!

Jyunka Miracle Fluid

Heard of the Jyunka M+? When i first hear about it, it sounds unbelievable.
This small bottle in gold contains pure vitamin C. Most people will say that it is impossible to keep Vitamin C in their purest form because they change when exposed to air.

And so i tried it. The 'M' actually stands for miracle. This is the first essence i know of and have tried, that is so good, so rejuvenating.. but yet suitable for both young skin and mature skin!

For the young skin, it helps to balance the pH and control the oil secretion. At the same time, if a mature skin uses this essence, it is rejuvenating, helps with cell regeneration and renewal to minimise fine lines and wrinkles. Overall, it gives the skin a healthy glow and radiance!

If there's anything worth it's price, it will be this miracle fluid!

KEEPCUP *Go Green*

These irresistible colourful cups are so pretty and it makes you happy looking at the colours! I bought 2 different series, the glass with rubber and the glass cork edition.

So after using the cups, here's what i think:

Cup Size
KeepCups are available in many sizes. Mini, Small and Medium.
Personally the one i have is the latest 'Cork Edition' that only comes in Small (8oz) and Medium (12oz).

Material
There are the plastic range and these glass range. If you are intending to hold really hot beverages, my advise is to get the glass ones. After using the rubber one and the cork edition, the cork edition will definitely beat the rubber one hands down, because i have very low torrance for heat and honestly, the rubber do not help to offset the heat, it is only for a better grip.

However, for the cork edition, you should be careful you do not spill your drinks or coffee onto the cork area to prevent staining of it.


Heat Retention
The heat retention ability is not bad, my drink is still warm after an hour. But this is NOT a thermal flask, so please do not expect that your drink will still be burning hot after leaving it inside for awhile.

Overall i'm happy. I'm currently using it when i make my old beverage or coffee. Stilling trying to explore how to pass the cup to the barista when i order coffee from a cafe! Will definitely try that soon. Just worried that they will stain or dirty the cork area.

216 Gentle Soothing Mask

This is one of the newer product by Maria Galland, 216 Gentle Soothing Mask. What does it do?

- Restores tire and fatigue skin
- Replenishes hydration
- Soothing to sensitive skin due to tiredness and environmental changes

I always use this after my trip because everytime i travel, i realise that my skin feels very tire and dehydrated due to the change in the atmosphere and humility.

The texture of the Mask is like a moisturising cream. It doesn't leave a sticky feeling. It's comfortable and almost like you had nothing on.

Recommended to apply the mask once a week :)

B1 Food Cafe at Dongdaemun Seoul Review

As agreed, i will tell you the full story of my encounter at this eatery...

Most of the time, what draws our attention to a eating place are the beautiful photos of the food. As it was the many nights into our trip so we decided to try something different from our usual eating place.

Entering this cafe, you are greeted by a lady who do not really seems to be happy that an customer is coming in to disrupt her peace. Throwing down the menu, she went back to where she was sitting and continued watching her show. Still, that was ok, so we went ahead to order what we want.

Then while waiting for our food, i heard the neighbouring customer who just went to make payment commented "Why this lady so rude one?" So i was prepared for whatever pattern the lady is going to have towards my table.

Food came, they look far from the photo. Dumpling Ramen (with 5-6 dumplings in the photo) only came with 2 dumplings. Kimchi soup with white rice, turned out to be yam rice. So my friend tried to ask her if they have white rice instead, pointing to the photo.

She rudely pointed that the following part of the menu, rolled her eyes and walked away. Went to the older lady who is doing all the cooking and started to complain about us asking for what is shown in the photo.. *confused*

Here's what she pointed to:


I'm sure many of you are thinking, where is this cafe? I'm glad you asked. Below is the name and logo of this food cafe. It's located at Dongdaemun near Good Morning City Shopping Mall. :) Eat at your own risk.

There is not one lady i know, that owns only 1 lipstick at a single time. Most of us will agree that we have at least half a dozen or if not, even more!

I started with MAC lipsticks because it was a gift. Then in search of nude colors, i went into exploring different shades that MAC has. I had 3 different shades, liked them but when i was looking for something hot red, i could not find the exact shade i was looking for...

So i went into Dior.. Dior lipsticks are more moisturizing and less sticky compared to MAC's. Got myself 3 different shades and sticked with them for awhile.

Received a lip gloss from Make Up Store as a gift, tried but i didn't like the glossy sticky and thick feeling of lip gloss so i went back to my lip sticks :)

When Chanel came out with the matt lipsticks, i tried and i loved it! The color is so beautiful and the texture is so light!!!

VDL famous Tint bar triple shot came as a popular hit! I bought 4 out of 6 of the colors that they have! The triple tone in one lipsticks forms shades where you can make your lips looks bigger or smaller with the same lipstick!

So guess my favourite pick? Chanel, VDL and followed by Dior! Hope you will love them as much as i do!

White X Gold

Went out to the beach with some of these beautiful little things today! It was so much fun. It's been some time since i had time to go out to the beach just to chill in the midst of all the work and projects that i'm working on. And of course, finally finding some time to get this blog started!

So here you go one some of the little items i brought out today,

Gold tattoos - these are temporary tattoos that i can put them wherever i want and they shine like accessories under the sun!

Vintage sunglass - very important to protect my eyes from the harmful UV rays and at the same time it's stylish! <3

Necklace with pearl in the triangle, from www.missystella.com

Real silk clutch - designed and made by a Thailand designer.

And not forgetting those marble stone bangles and earrings that is so classy and yet fun.

White and gold goes well with anything! The whites, the blacks, the basics, the flowery, the sun and the beach! <3 <3 <3

Maria Galland Foundation

Making up for lost time?

When it comes to make up, i am especially particular about the foundation i put on my face. If you don't have a good foundation, everything that is built on it will not stand.

A good quality foundation is like your first line of defence for your skin immediately after your skincare. You got to make sure that it is moisturising and do not dry your skin, at the same time it is not too rich for you. I have tried many other brands but this Maria Galland foundation is one of my top favourite! It is light and do not leave a sticky or heavy feeling on your skin.

Do you know that if your make up contains too large molecules, they do not only clog your pores, they also cause your skin to be tire and fatigue over a period of use. A good foundation that is suitable for your skin is definitely worth investing in!
