How To Achieve Glass Skin With Problematic Skin?

Hi Huneybees,

The talk of the town these days is the K-beauty trend - Glass Skin. We are talking about achieving that perfectly smooth and intensely hydrated complexion with an all-over sheen, just like your window pane. It's a sign of healthy and youthfulness, which everyone is dying to have.

When I first saw pictures of the trend, I was thinking, "NO WAY! I have scars and acne, moreover with my eczema patch, there is no way I can achieve that look. Moreover, Singapore's sweltering hot weather will make me melt the moment I step out of the house!"

But being a beauty lover, how can I just give up that way? I tried ways and means to combine skincare with a little play-cheat makeup and I think I've got it. One thing I learned from this is that simply relying on makeup alone will not work, you need a consistent skincare routine, religiously following through with it and together with makeup, then you can show off your flawless skin. This is something that can't be achieved overnight, but patience my dears, in just days, you can see the difference!

Above is how I managed to achieve that Glass Skin look, I hope this helps you all with problematic skin troubles like me, in achieving that flawless looking skin. You can now cancel out those filter and beautifying effects on your smartphone cameras and app.

Products mentioned:

- Etude House Monster Micellar Cleansing Water - Shiseido Senka Perfect Double Wash - Himalaya Herbals Purifying Neem Scrub - Pixi Glow Tonic - Pixi Rose Caviar Essence - It's Skin Power 10 Formula (YE Effector, VC Effector, GF Effector) - Hada Labo Super Hyaluronic Acid Moist Eye Cream - Laneige Firming Sleeping Pack - Kanebo Evita Beauty Whip Soap - Pixi Glow Tonic To-Go Pad - Saborino Morning Mask - Ajuste Airy Touch UV Spray SPF50+ PA++++ Sunscreen - MKUP Illuminating Primer - Clio Super Sufur Kill Cover Conceal Cushion - Colourpop No Filter Concealer - The Face Shop Tone Up Cushion Trolls Edition - Maybelline Facestudio Master Contour V-Shape Duo Stick - e.l.f. Studio High Definition Undereye Setting Powder - Colourpop Crystal Liquid Highlighter (Aventurine) - NYX Makeup Setting Spray (Dewy Finish)

Remember to stay hydrated and drink more water too! 

Cheers to good skin!

Lazada GSS Sale 6 - 8 June 2017 + 18% Discount PROMO CODE*

Hi Huneybees,

Get your fingers ready, train that index finger with a "dumb bell" as you want to be clicking as fast as possible from 6th to 8th June for the best Great Singapore Sale (GSS) deal ever!

Lazada will once again be surprising us with branded curated boxes at SGD$29 each. Each box could be worth SGD$100 and above, which is way way wayyyy above their original prices. 

Over the 3 days period, there will be 50 boxes up for grabs in 2-hour intervals (which means each box is available for only 2 hours!), each focused on a specific brand's products. The contents and the release time of the Surprise Boxes are a secret, but you at least get to choose the type of Surprise Box, based on the brands that will be mentioned. It's the fastest fingers first thing, so stay peeled!

Day 1 - 6 Jun 2017

Day 2 - 7 Jun 2017

Day 3 - 8 Jun 2017

The participating brands are as above.

Just gona keep 2 products in the surprise element...

For a sneak peek, I have with me the LAZADA x Garnier Surprise Box, inside you can find skincare products for not just the ladies, but also for the guys too! My favourite is definitely the Micellar Cleansing Water. It comes in Pink for all skin types and also a Blue one for Oily and Acne Prone skin.

If you don't already know, the Micellar Cleansing water is a hassle free makeup remover, where you don't even have to follow up with a second cleansing to remove the dirt. It works best for me as I have sensitive eyes, even the slightest product gets into my eye, will give me red eyes throughout the night; or for those times when you are super duper tired and you can't wait to just land straight into your bed, but sleeping with makeup on is bad!

That's when the Micellar Cleansing Water comes in. You just need your cotton pads, soak them up with the cleansing water, swipe a few of them till your face is rid of makeup (you can even do this whilst lying in bed), throw the pads away (or just cast them on the floor and clear them tomorrow morning) and head straight to bed. Easy peasy eh?

Of course, the products in the Surprise Box doesn't end there, as you can see from above pic, there are tons of skin caring products for you to use or even try out.

With just 2 more days to the Lazada GSS Sale, I suggest that you start browsing and making a wishlist of the items too, as there will be discounts up to 90% off, flash deals every 2 hours.

And to make the deal sweeter, use voucher code GSSCHRISTINA18 to get an 18% Discount with no minimum purchase required (Discount will be cap at $8)

*For New Customers only

!!! Additional Bonus !!!

Additionally, if you buy any of the surprise boxes, remember to post an unboxing video of your Surprise Box on social media, hashtag #lazadasurprises, and stand to win more attractive prizes from Lazada.

Stephen Chow Has A Message With His New Mermaid Movie (美人鱼)

Hi Huneybees,

"最后一滴干净的水，最后一丝干净的空气都没有了的话，有再多的钱，也是死路一条。"

It's the Lunar New Year and I have been busy since January and BOY! I was super excited when hubby asked me out to a date and we caught Stephen Chow's (周星驰) latest movie - Mermaid (美人鱼). Phew ~ I needed that breather but most importantly, my idol - Show Luo (罗志祥) is starring in that movie too!

As like every of his movie, this comedy had me bursting out in laughter every few seconds, causing my asthma attack right there. Yes, I must admit the CG was not the best job and some of the jokes were pretty corny and predictable, but it's those smart-aleck style of dialogue that got me reminiscing his past works.

Not only did he revamp sarcasm in the movie, it's also these 80s vintage sets and easter egg finds that references his previous movies, got me going to his movies every time he pushes out a new movie. This time. through a revamp of the lovey dovey mermaid falling in love with a rich man story, not only did he bring laughter to us this festive season, he also reminded us of a very important message.

It's a message that I've always been asking my hubby, why so much war and fighting amongst ourselves? Shouldn't our focus be on what's happening to around us? What about our environment that is dying day by day?

There has to be a reason why this movie has broke mainland opening-day records and is swimmingly doing well at other countries, coz other than my repeated mention of huge comic relief, it also made us take a look at what our growing world of technology has done to the world around us.

For money, we might do things that harm the Earth, but what if we are left with only one drop of water, one breath of air, will money still do us any good? Still think making money is the ultimate goal? 

Cameo performance from Former EXO's Kris Wu Yi Fan (吴亦凡) was not impressive and he didn't look good at all.

And why does Kitty Zhang Yuqi (张雨绮) look so much like a chinese speaking Song Hye-kyo (송혜교)?!

[What's New] Bask In Summer Fun With bellabox August 2014 - Summer Fresh

Hi Huneybees,

My August bellabox came in a big bundle of joy. Themed as the Summer Fresh edition, the box arrived in a brown paper bag containing the usual polka dotty blue box and a couple of overflowing items.

The adorable watermelon sticker is already indication enough to tell you that what's inside is here to prepare you to have fun under the sun and yet still looking good – Premium teas, organic haircare, suncreen, bodycare, etc! It's definitely worth more than the S$19.95 subscription (comes with free shipping too).   

So let's check out my Summer themed box!

• Petal Fresh Organics Aloe & Citrus Moisturizing Shampoo & Conditioner 
• Sleek Kajal Eyeliner in Nocturnal 

• FINALE WHITENING CREAM 
• UV AQUA WHITE STARTER KIT 
• ALEXIARES & ANI THE DEITY SPF30 MATTIFYING SUNSCREEN 

• Laneige Water Bank Essence EX 

• Bonus: Tealy Premium Tea 

• Bonus: Kneipp Body Care

From the box, I've also found some favourites and recommended...

Sleek Kajal Eyeliner in Nocturnal

Sleek Makeup is no stranger in my cabinet of makeup products. I simply love their eyeshadow palettes and I have them wherever I go. The eyeliner in the box is something new I can add to my collection. It's small and dainty, easy to bring around and I love the strong pigment as eyeliner. It is also very easy to smudge to create a smokey eye effect.

UV Aqua White Starter Kit

My bellabox arrived right when I was stepping out for my flight to Taiwan. When I saw the large UV prints, I knew I had to bring them along on my trip. The starter kit contained the CC cream, Purifying toner and Daily Defence serum.

There are all designed to help “whiten, hydrate, illuminate, tighten and increase skin elasticity”.  I was super glad I had them along with me as the weather in Taiwan was very warm, I needed my defence helpers.

The products are all very light, easily absorbed and it feels non-existence. The toner and serum kept my skin supple while the CC Cream improved my skin's colour and glow. I only needed to have the CC Cream all over my face, with concealer, swipe on some eyeliner and draw my brows. It was sweltering hot in Taiwan and it was advisable to have light makeup, which is also why I simply loved the UV Aqua White series...

Finale Whitening Cream

This skin lightening cream, made with natural herbs is here to make your skin is bikini/swimsuit ready. I'm curious to see its effects, have you guys tried it before? 

This month's box has really been a great surprise! Check out their website to order your very own monthly bellabox surprise today and don't forget to visit their beauty store!
