XOXO

L.o.v.e ♥

Going to (madly overcrowded) orchard with my loved one, missysera at night... She will be my classmate next year *excited*

3 more days to Meri Kurisumasu!

Kurimasu Mood ♥

This is the month where many(many many) gifts are being showered to family and friends.
Feel the joyfulness for kurimasu(christmas) month!

I bought this for myself, samsung PL150! This is more on self portrait camera with dual LCDs.


Taking picture of the LCD on the front and now, you can take your own portrait picture with less wrong angles or the "cut-out" type (like half of face being chopped away) It has miniature, fish eye and vignetting mode too. I would say this camera is suitable for taking picture under strong/day light as the flash(taken at night) will distort the colors.

Kim's Family Restaurant

This is an authentic korean restaurant located near chuntin road.


Many side dishes such as kimchi, preserved veg, mushroom, pickles, sweet potatoes, etc...


BBQ time! I heart this thingy!


I had to cut this into bite size and ate all by myself. (alright, xiaoyang did eat a piece)


Sizzling hot.


And this spicy ramen tastes like some korean instant noodle :o


Usually this will be done by the staff but it's fun to do it yourself.


Put miso paste and garlic on the cooked meat and wrap them in the veg.


Stuff it in your mouth! NOMNOMNOM~

Kanebo Freshel Moist Lift Moisture Gel

On a random update.

My sister bought this in taiwan (with free toner/lotion given)

Convenient packaging teaching you how to open the box. Just tear away the scissor part. (funny lor)

This is my FAB multi-purpose moisturiser.

An all-in-one gel-type moisturizer gives you the performance of lotion, essence, milk, cream, and foundation base. It contains 2 different types of hyaluronic acids, as well as collagen for moisture care, quickly being absorbed by skin, it forms a virtual veil on skin and helps avoid further moisture loss.

By the way, Kanebo Freshel is specially made for ages 30s to 40s. (bah, i'm not that old)

I would apply this usually in the morning where I always skip my serum/essence steps. Duper lazy in the morning! This is fragrance free but with quite a content of alcohol (had this alcohol smell during application) Overall, this is quickly absorbed and great for "locking" moisture too. If you are lazy like me, you may consider this product too.

XOXO!

Bio-essence BB Cream (II)

Updated on 26th Dec, this will be a short and quick one since I have rec'd my platinum bb cream few days back.

Due to some unforeseen circumstances, I'm unable to do Bio Platinum BB cream review at the moment. Well, it's such a pity for being unable to try out this BB cream. Check its TVC below.

Bio Platinum BB Cream is uniquely blended with Platinum, Bio Energy Fluid, Titanium Dioxide, Tanaka, Ginseng and Angelica extracts to nourish and hydrate skin. It also helps control oil, moisturize while providing superior protection against UV rays and natural pollutants! Yes, that means you can save the hassle of applying an additional sunscreen! Its 10 in 1 efficacy keeps you looking fair, beautiful and effortlessly good, the easy way!

Active ingredients

Tanaka Bark Extract:
Contains intense hydrating, cooling and anti-inflammatory properties to moisturize the skin and help prevent pimples. It has been used to maintain skin fairness and locks in moisture under the hot climate and blocking out external pollutants at the same time.

Bio Energy Fluid:
Contains mineral and trace mineral elements which are essential for healthy skin and to maintain the youthfulness of skin.

Ginseng:
Provides precious herbal nutrition to promote cell-regrowth and helps prevent the signs of aging.

Traditional foundation and base makeup requires many steps and the need to layer several different types of product on the skin, hence the coverage achieved is often unnatural-looking. BB Cream, on the other hand, revolutionized the concept of base makeup by simplifying the whole process, creating, natural, smooth but powerful coverage with just 1 product.

Bio Platinum BB Cream glides on face easily with a long staying coverage too. It helps to save a lot of time and has a decent sun protection of spf25 which acts as my sunblock too. Overall, I love this bb cream with so many functions in it!

Hello! I'm a big fan of BB cream since year 2008. I've tried different brands of BB cream with many types of functions such as more spf or coverage, light-weight, less wrinkle and so on. BB cream is very popular in asian countries! In case if you are not sure what is BB cream, check this below.

What is BB Cream?

BB Creams (Blemish Balm Cream) originated from Germany and was initially prescribed by dermatologists to patients who had undergone laser skin treatments to soothe redness and cater to their sensitive skin. The trend of using BB Creams caught on in Korea when celebrities started using them to create a natural and dewy finish. The use of this multi-purpose wonder-cream is a sizzling-hot beauty trend, particularly in Asia, and has helped many girls streamline their beauty regime.

Whitening, Sunscreen, Repair & Make up in 1 Step!

Opinions are varied over whether BB Cream is a skincare product or a makeup item. Actually it is both a skincare and makeup product. BB Creams have multiple skincare benefits which include whitening, sun protection, reduction of fine lines and wrinkles, moisturizing while providing coverage for the skin. It gives a natural and flawless finish, similar to how Korean celebrities look. With its multiple functionality and convenience, women can now cut down on her makeup application time without compromising on looking good. It only takes 1 product and a mere 10 minutes to put on moisturizer, sun screen and foundation all at once. Grooming gets much easier with the use of BB Creams.

i. In a survey done by HK Fashion and Beauty Magazine among 6 other competitive BB Creams, the Bio Multi-Effect BB Cream came up tops in terms of being the BB Cream that adheres most closely to the skin for flawless coverage.

ii. When applied on an orange, the concealing power of the BB Cream is so strong that it covers even the pockmarks found on the orange peel.

Product review on Bio-essence Bio Multi-Effect BB Cream SPF25/PA++ (finally! after all the talking)

Alright, I can't wait to start!!! So here's with a before and after picture. It has a real good coverage that I must start with it first. My skin feels like "porcelain" after applying Bio BB cream, the result is amazing. You will be in real surprise to see how this small little BB cream tube works.

Always start with your face with the basic skincare regime (cleanse, tone and moisture)

So next, the common problems/flaws on the skin.

Yes, that's my unglam skin. FML. Now you know why I am so hardworking applying skincare regularly...

Dab the BB cream on the forehead, temples, under eyes, cheeks, chin or wherever needed. Use a sponge to complete the blending. (please ignore my unglam skin)!

Let the BB cream set for awhile. Yes, it has almost concealed my mole on my left cheek!

Done with all the skin flaws concealed mostly.

Smile!

Now it's your turn to go try it.

Bio Multi BB cream has 8 in 1 effects with spf25 coverage which is also strongest coverage out of the 3 Bio BB creams. What I like about this BB cream is that it has concealed most of my skin flaws such as dark circles, blemish and uneven skin tone leaving my skin in natural nude finish.

I will be blogging on product review for another Bio-essence BB cream soon and again, can't wait to share all the good stuffs.

Coming next...
