Monday, 25 July 2016

Recently, I visited Yuli Inc. Fine Jewelry to check out their beautiful jewelery! And of course, I couldn’t help but try on a few of their eye-catching pieces. So a mini photo-shoot ensued!


 
 
                                       
Yuli Inc. aims to inspire everyone, from both the older and younger generations, to learn more about the value of various gems and jewelry pieces!

Buying a piece of jewelry is not splurging on yourself, but instead an investment that could grow into a valuable collection in the future.




 








When you think of jewelry, you'd normally imagine an older person wearing them. But pearls and even bigger gems can be matched to look youthful and trendy.

However, if you aren't a fan of more traditionally designed jewelry, Yuli Inc. also carries more modern and edgy designs!




Such amazingly designed pieces, I'm in love!!!

Yuli Inc. also offers custom made jewelry that you yourself is able

3M Nexcare™ goodies!

Friday, 12 February 2016

About a week ago, I was pleasantly surprised when I checked my mailbox! I finally received my 3M Nexcare™ festive season must-haves package just in time for Valentine’s Day. Even though I’ve been busy studying for exams, I still want to look and feel my best for VDay. I believe that the 3M Nexcare™ festive season must-haves will ensure that I go through this festive season comfortably while looking good! I can’t wait to tell you guys my thoughts on these products!

Nexcare™ waterproof bandages
Nexcare™ hydrocolloid bandages
Nexcare™ hydrocolloid foot care toe pads
Nexcare™ acne patch men, thinner & ladies
Nexcare™ non-exposure tapes
Futuro™ by Kinesiology tape



First off, we have different types of bandages! Of course, we all get injured one way or another, especially with me being super clumsy.



What caught my eye was the unique hydrocolloid type bandages and foot pads! I couldn't help myself but open one of these straight away to see what they’re all about. They are super thin, elastic and transparent bandages which seals out dirt and germs with a jelly-like middle. This middle (Nexcare™ hydrocolloid) allows for a moist environment to promote healing and reduce pain. I used the foot pads on a blister I had from ice skating recently and it was like it wasn’t even there! This is why I love Nexcare™ bandages and products, because they're so comfortable! These are amazingly useful for me as I frequently get blisters and sores from heels and new shoes. Definitely going into my pouch as my daily essentials!



Next up, is the Nexcare™ acne patches. I’ve seen this product around but never tried it, but I’m super curious and excited to try it! I don’t usually get bad acne but one pesty zit will always pop up once a month. I usually just pop it and hope it goes away, but I always end up touching it by accident when moving my hair or something. At the end of the day, it becomes worse than before!


So this product would help protect my zit from infection and bacteria on my fingers. It is a breathable water-based jelly-like material which will act like a sponge and absorb any fluid, oil or pus. The Nexcare™ acne patch thinner is 40% thinner than usual, perfect for day use! It also comes with a plastic tweezer which helps to pick up the fragile product and avoid tearing it.





Another product that will be my essential; the Nexcare™ non-exposure tapes! I was super happy when I saw this because I’ve always had a problem with tank tops falling uncomfortable low. I used to use those skin tapes to keep my tops up but it either doesn't stick well, or is too obvious as it was white. Also, it would irritate my skin as it was rough and sharp. Plus it would be super embarrassing if it doesn't cooperate halfway into the day! These tapes are very strong and are transparent to avoid any ugly white-tape exposure during the day. They’re surprisingly soft and which makes it suitable for sensitive skin as well!


Last but not least, I received the Futuro™ kinesiology tape. Though I’ve never used this product before, I’ve heard a lot about it. Apparently it can relief pain, promote healing and aid even when having muscle cramps! It’s good for sports and exercise as it’s very elastic, lightweight, breathable and sticky despite contact with perspiration.



So there! My thoughts and review on the 3M Nexcare™ products that I received! Can’t wait to further test these products and for them to become my essentials!
Thank you so much 3M Nexcare™ for sending me love and taking care of me.

Cambridge Therapeutics facial treatments! - Sponsored advertorial

Tuesday, 28 July 2015


Hi everyone! Today i wanted to share about my experience at Cambridge therapeutics. I tried out 2 facial treatments, ‘Jet Pulse Plus’ and ‘Oxyreplenish therapy’. Both of these treatments meet my needs for my skin problems, mainly being blackheads and dry spots. I guess my skin is combination with dry patches, and can feel quite dehydrated and dull sometimes. I also get the occasional breakouts and blackheads, leading to scarring and pigmentation. ):


On the way to Cambridge therapeutics at Ngee Ann City (:


Upon reaching, they led me to their cozy and comfy waiting area.


Having some green tea while settling down.


After a few minutes, my therapist led me into the treatment room

Firstly, we started with the Jet Pulse Plus treatment, which targets pores, pigmentation and pimples! It uses Pore Refining Technology and XF Pulse Light System form Japan to reduce enlarged pores, lighten pigmentation and get rid of spots. Sounds like a dream! From this treatment, you can achieve brighter, more radiant skin using only the latest medical technology. Exclusively formulated for Cambridge, it focuses on Asian skin. Perfect for me! (:



During the treatment, my therapist puts the treatment tip on my skin to gently extract blackheads, dead skin and other impurities via it’s light vacuum. It felt like a slight suction on my face, no pain at all! At the same time, the tip then delivers nutrients to strengthen and hydrate my skin, making it feeling smooth and clean! Once she was done, she actually showed me all the impurities removed D: 

The XF Pulse Light was used next. She applied a cold gel all over my face and puts an eye cover to protect my eyes. She then puts a device on my skin which flashes a bright light to rid my scars and brighten up my skin. It reminds me on laser hair removal, and I think it might have removed the facial hairs I had. My face felt amazingly smooth after! My favourite part is that the treatment is gentle, yet effective in removing my blackheads and impurities without hurting my skin! I hate it when I leave a facial service with red bumps and spots all over my face from the traditional extraction. So yay to modern technology! 

This treatment lasted for 60mins and costs $480. 


Before and after! hehe 














Next, we move on to the Oxyreplenish Therapy. This treatment aims to boost our skin’s natural production of hyaluronic acid (it basically secures moisture and fullness, what we need to maintain a youthful skin), improve our skin’s structure with better distribution of fibroblasts (cells which are responsible for generating connective tissue, allowing our skin to recover from injury), and last but not least, improve our skin regeneration and renewal with immediate hydration(keeping it supple almost 24/7). 

This treatment last for 30mins and costs S$180. 


Idebenone and Galactomyce serum is applied to my face and an oxygen ‘gun' is used to help it penetrate my skin. Look how bright and radiant my face is! It allowed my skin to regain its suppleness and smoothness. 


My therapist placed a mask on my face for radiance and brightening, along with a strange contraption that emits pure oxygen for about 10 minutes. Even though its just oxygen, it felt very cleansing for my inner body.
This treatment gave me an immediate hydrating effect on the skin, and it refills your cells with oxygen, therefore smoothing fine lines and wrinkles by plumping up your skin. Even though i am still young, it’s never too early to start caring for your skin! The whole process felt very refreshing and relaxing, giving me anti aging, sebum control benefits and not to mention smooth skin! 


Here’s the end result! I am amazed of how the treatments lightened up my scars and brightened my skin. Jet Pulse Plus and Oxyreplenish do come hand-in-hand great to leave my skin supple and glowy after the 1.5hrs treatment! There’s no downtime for these treatments at all. Thank you Cambridge Therapeutics for pampering my skin, and I can’t wait to witness how continued treatments would benefit me on a long term basis!

If you’re keen to join me on my journey, Cambridge Therapeutics is located at 391 Orchard Road #08-05A2 Tower B! You may also reach them at 6733 6729 to book your appointments beforehand!
