Lady First  (女人我最大) Singapore Edition kickstarted last Monday and I would like to share with you what I learnt from the 1st episode. I have put some of the little tips to test and I'm loving it!

1) Long Lasting Makeup for the Singapore weather

• After applying sunscreen, wait 3 minutes, let it sink in to your skin and then use a tissue to blot off the excess cream. This will prevent smudging.
• Concealer start slightly below the bottom lashes, then work it upwards towards the lashes.
• Lightly apply the Sofina Primavista Ange Powder Foundation. It can not only allow water to slide off, you can safely use your smart phones without having to leave a mark on the screen after a call!
• For eyeshadows to stick on, the Benefit Stay Don't Stray eye primer is one to "stick to" before applying your eyeshadow on top. Or use the Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Colour for the light tinge of colours.
• Eyeliners do not have to be thick. Just a little at the out corner of the eye to extend and define your eyes. Just like the logic: When a bigger size lady wears black, doesn't she look slimmer? So with thick black eyeline, your eyes will look smaller!

2) Cool down before touching up your makeup

• Coming back to the office after lunchtime, tends to mess up your makeup. DO NOT jump straight into touching up your makeup. Be sure to coll down first!
• Soak a towel in ice cold water and twist it dry or using the L’EGERE Double Effect Cooling UV Sun Spray, spray all over the towel and place it over your neck. Your neck is the central cooling/warming system of you body.
• DO NOT go stand in front of a fan or air con, that will cause pore problems!
• Now, you are free to go touch up your makeup and you don't have to keep slapping thick layers to cover up the sweat + powder mess.

3) Hair must be washed DAILY!

• For our hot weather, hair has to be washed daily, KMS California Hair Stay Clarify Shampoo is recommended or if you don't want to use water, you can try the KMS California Hair Play Makeover Spray as a dry shampoo. It can even give your hair volume!
• If you are experiencing hair loss, the Klorane Hair Revival Serum together with the Revival Kit will give you the extra boost to healthy scalp.
• Caviar into hair = Moisture boost with the Alterna Caviar Anti-Aging Replenishing Moisture Conditioner

Be sure to catch Ep 2 tomorrow on Starhub TV Channel 111/825. 

Yours truly will be the special guest in it, going through a makeover.

What's the results? Watch it tomorrow!

Pauline Lan (蓝心湄) Pointed Me Out At The Lady First 女人我最大- Singapore Press Conference !!!

Hi Huneybees,

I am still jittering with excitement even after attending the press conference for Lady First 女人我最大 (Singapore Edition). As you guys would have known, I would guest appearing on the programme and yesterday marks the official launch (or rather announcement) of the event.

I had the chance to run backstage and meetup with the 9 other gorgeous ladies, as well as the host Pauline Lan (蓝心湄) and the resident stylist Xiao Kai (小凯). Present were also the 4 local 老师 - Bryan Gan, Clarence Lee, Keith Png and Ken Hong.

Here's some of the shots of me with them backstage...

Ok. Now it's time to go to the front, SHOWTIME!

First, introducing the "ladies team" - Kelly Poon (Singer), Angel Di Jia (88.3FM DJ), Candyce Toh (Host/Actress), Carrie Yeo (Singer), Celyn Liew (Finalist of Sunsilk Academy Fantasia), Kanny Theng (Host/ Model), Tay Kexin (Singer), Silver Ang (Celebrity Blogger/Model/Actress) and lastly Winnie Lee or Vee (Contestant of Sunsilk Academy Fantasia). Missing from the team was Cheryl Wee (Spokesperson of Jean Yip/Singer), she couldn't make it to the press con yesterday.

One unique segment from the Singapore edition of Lady First (女人我最大) is that there would be a outdoor segment, that would be hosted by the leader of the ladies team - Kelly Poon. She will be taking to the streets to talk to different women regarding the topic of the day.

Bryan Gan, Clarence Lee, Keith Png, Ken Hong and Xiao Kai.

I heard little whispers amongst the crowd, Xiao Kai was memerising the ladies and alot were looking to him as though the Saviour has arrived! I must say he looked dang good, like a mannequin on stage!

Now, introducing the goddess - PAULINE LAN!!!

During the conference, Pauline shared her views of the local women. She thinks as the humid weather was our main "excuse", some common mistakes she spotted was overly thick makeup or super extreme, no makeup at all. 

Something she pointed out was also the wrong choice of lingerie, why choose a smaller bra cup size, causing overflowing breasts or, as she pointed at the host, Peifen, wrong choice of panty, causing a HUGE VPL (visible panty line) moment with her body hugging dress.

When asked, Pauline gave the Singapore women only 3 points! Why? Coz the men are also not making an effort for us girls wana get dolled up for! The men do not look after themselves, do not dress up, seriously who are we dolling up for?

Every lady in the room were cheering her on and the ladies team went on "complaining" about what they don't like about the Singaporean men too... 

The best moment would have to be the part where I got singled out amongst the audience. I left an impression on Pauline and said that I was the plus size representative. Even though there were some teasing words as well as some stuffs you guys can only know when watching the episode, all I can say is I was jumping with joy in my mind! Woohoo!!! Best moment ever! 

P.S. Anyone at the press con with a snippet of me, please share the video with me please???

The press conference was like 2 hours of the programme filming, everyone laughing and jeering,  this has to be the most interesting press con I ever been! 

Lady First - Singapore premieres on E City (Starhub TV Channel 111/825) on 20 May at 8pm. It will also be made available on Starhub TV Anywhere on www.starhubtvanywhere.com to allow viewers to catch the programme on the move.

Ending this post with a shot of me with the Ladies Team.

[Tried & Tested] Manicure and Pedicure @ Absolutely Nails

Hi Huneybees,

Before my recording for Lady First <女人我最大>, I was treated to a Manicure and Pedicure session at Absolutely Nails. Located at Marine Parade Central (opposite the famous hawker centre), it is a sister brand of the popular Foot Reflexology Spa - Feet Haven Reflexology.

Previously named as Nailcoholics, the nail spa has been around since early 2010. The name change was a result of the acquisition and also in a bid to stay current and relevant to its customers. The services include Classic/French Manicure & Pedicure, 2D/3D Nail Art, Acrylic/Gel/Extension, among others.

Upon stepping into nail spa, I was warmly greeted and settled down fast by the friendly manicurist. She even got me a warm cup of tea (which not all nail spas do).

She was superbly patient in removing my 10 finger nails that was painted fully with glitter bits (you know how difficult it is to remove right?!).

There were simply to many colours to choose from and the manicurist was very helpful and told me pastel colours in 'IN' now. So I chose that. She also told me that my cuticles and skin around the nail bed was too dry, so she taught me how and where to apply the cuticle oil. 

Check out the manicurist's nails! So pretty right?!

So, here's the end result of mu pastel alternate coloured nails and I loved the effect. don't my nails just look so candylicious? As for my toenails, I kept it nude, that's how I like them, since most of the time, they're tucked inside my shoes...

These colours are by ORLY.

I love how my feet look so baby sweet now!

Absolutely Nails is open everyday from 10 am to 8.30 pm (Monday to Friday) and 10 am to 8 pm (Saturday/Sunday/Public Holidays). You can check out their FB page or website for more information about the nail spa and also current updates as well as promotions. Here are some of them.

And I believe Absolutely Nails is one of the or even the only nail spa in Singapore that carries Butter London and Ciaté nail painting service (for an additional price). Luxurious right? Now you don't have to spend big bucks to buy the nail polishes and end up messing your nails.

Absolutely Nails - Blk 82, Marine Parade Central, #01-620, Singapore 440082 / Tel: 63453303

Have a great weekend!
