New Biore Facial Foam!

Sharing up:

So, to try out the 1 minute wonder they claim to received after using the Biore new series,
I go for these 2 lovely tubes of :

Biore for Radiant refined skin (scrub)

and

Biore for Moist supple skin

First of all, who doesn't know " Biore " when it comes to face cleanser category?

But do you that the new Biore series has a higher cleansing ability? It also low in skin irritation as the cleansing chemical does not penetrate into the skin?

Basically, (here is the good news for us) it is the first cleanser that works to rebalance our skin.

Reduce oil in T-zone and replenish the moisture at U-zone.

See the 2 different texture of it?

Biore extra moist comes in a more concentrated for compare to the lighter and scrubby texture of the Biore scrub

I personally loves the Biore facial foam extra moist more than the other on. I love the supple-ness I got after every wash, and kinda like to " boing boing " effect on the skin, and it doesn't dry up my skin.

I found the Biore facial foam scrub tend to give a tight feeling after I used it.
Although I must say, a clean mint feeling after using the Biore facial foam scrub is not a doubt, I just don't like the tight after use feeling of it. But If you don't have any problem with that, just go ahead and experience a new level of Biore facial cleanser.

*The Biore Facial Foam Series is available at Watsons, Guardian, Sasa, Unity and other majore departmental stores.

Santa Etude & Life after Christmas...

I am sending one big hug and kisses to Vivian from Etude Singapore :)

Thank you for this lovely surprise and being a Santa for my Christmas present.

~*~

Inget ga sih waktu itu gw nulis gw pengen banget sama Etionette collectionnya Etude buat Christmas gift gw?

Waktu gw nulis itu, beneran itu ga di sponsor loh..cuma karena gw demen liatnya ini pink pink lucu amat seeeh? jadinya gw iseng pajang potonya disini..trus yah, besoknya..di kantor gw " ting tong " gitu..dan gw liat ada orang bawa kantong " Etude "...OMG! mereka kirimin gw loh barang2 yang gw mau..

- gw ampe terharu pisan -

Gw inget mereka pernah minta alamat gw buat database mereka..dan ternyata buat kado ini juga :)

Sumpe sayah seneng.

Pas gw dapet kotaknya, gw langsung buka en gw obrak abrik isinya..cakeeep deh.

Ada bulu bulu blush on yang ujungnya ada warna pink gitu..

Trus blush highlighter yang gw tulis kalo gw pengen..


Ama tempatnya..

Trus dapet cermin juga..

Dan lipstik pink yang gw pake di foto ini..

Gw seneng banget kalo ternyata mereka bacain blog gw, dan mereka care gitu ama apa yang gw suka dan dikirimin sesuai yang gw mau :)

Walo pas barang2 model ginian dateng ke kantor,
orang kantor gw tuh yang.." OMG Elrica..another sponsorship? "
- Kalo kata engkong gw, rejeki jangan ditolak..diseleksi aja-

Jadi begitulah awal kenapa sekarang make up corner gw semakin menggunung dan siap gw hibah hibahkan :)
Apa buat kuis aja ya? hadiahnya mumpung lagi banyak :P

Trus sekilas milas *apa coba* soal awal taon 2013 gw:
Gw sakit! dan malesin banget dah sakitnya itu pas gw terbang ke Pekanbaru buat kawinan sodaranya Arip..
Dimulai dari awal pemberkatan di gereja..gw uda mulai sumeng sumeng gajebo.

Dandan teteup on, tapi kalo yang namanya sakit..mata tuh ga bisa bo'ong yah?
Liat deh poto gw yang dibawah ini, dah ayu tapi mata gw sayu beneeer..heran.



Trus pas acara pestanya, gw dandan heboh POL!
Lipstik merah, lens pink, rambut sasakan, baju korsetan yang uda mantep dah!



Tapi dong bo, gw cuma ikutan tepai lalu aku naek ke kamar, TIDUR!
Mubazir lah hasil karya gw malem itu. Sebal.com.
Baju da bikin bagus bagus pun jadi mubazir..haeh!

Trus di awal taon 2013 ini gw berasa gw tau untuk taon ini apa yang mesti gw lakuin..selaen hal hal normal dan jalanin semua blessing yang gw dapet..gw mesti belajar ignore orang yang suka show off tahap akut, dan  anggep angin lewat untuk orang-orang yang attack daku on and off line :P

Baru awal taon loh, gw langsung " Bam! " ketemua orang yang ga ada angin ga ada ujan bisa bilang..
" eh..gw mo beli X loh "
" Nanti gw mo buat A, B, C "
" Barang D sih ga seberapa lah..bisa lah "

Dan X, A, B,C and D disini adalah barang yang bukan gaji standard SG sebulan bisa dapet ya..as if uang segitu tuh gampang banget di dapetnya and just a piece of cake. cheap.

Tapi dong, eke tau gaji orang yang ngomong begitu pas gw bandingin sama gaji gw kalo di negaranya..gaji level gw masih 20K/annum lebih tinggi. Tapi emang, kalo ngomong soal kopet..orang itu menang..jadi mungkin tabungannya banyak, sedangkan gw..ga ada duitnya. :P

Gw sampe mabok loh, lalu gw ngobrol2 sama satu temen gw dan cerita soal bragger ini, karena gw ga abis pikir..ngapain lu brag sama gw? gw sih bukan tandingan elu man..duit gw kaga ada, dan juga gw ga berasal dari keluarga kayak kayak dia, mobil, rumah semua gw ga punya..itu kan ibarat, anak SMA ngadu mecain rumus kimia sama anak TK. Gw mikirin perilaku ini orang terus2an..karena kok yah nyombongnya ga berenti berenti yaa? heran. Tenang aja napa kalo punya duit, kenapa juga perlu banget semua orang tau lu punya duit..tapi ngeluarin duit sepeser uda kayak orang susah.

Trus setelah lama gw observed, en ngobrol ama temen gw dan dapet pencerahan..gw ngeliat ternyata perilaku dia untuk nyombong itu cuma buat nutupin rendah dirinya, jadi di titik yang dia ngerasa dia ada strength..langsung diluap-luapin seluap-luapnya..hadeuh. kesian. Trus pas gw ngobrol sama dia, gw jadi makin ngerasa..sebenernya dia orangnya baik, tapi selalu di " anggep ga mampu " terus sama pasangannya, dan sama sekitarnya, jadinya idupnya ga ada percaya dirinya sama sekali. I pity this person.
Jadinya, gw maapkanlah kesombongan dia.
* Tapi teteup gw males kalo dengerin saban hari*

Lalu, taon lalu gw cerita kan kalo gw di attack ma anonymous person yang bilang gw insecure lah gara2 pake make up dll, dan yang gw cari emailnya online tapi ga nemu..jadi yasudalahya! Nah kali ini gw nemu lagi orang yang gw bingung; ngapain blog walking ke blog yang bikin lu sebel tapi tetep juga lu buka? dan kalo kasih komen tu nyepet bener...
*kalo gw rajin, gw approved komennya..kalo lagi kelewat kasar, gw delete aja komennya*

Gw kasih contoh ya..
Gw ga keberatan kok, kalo terima komen yang bilang

" El, make up lu ga bagus de..coba kalo gini gini gitu gitu.."
- positive, I like it.ini malah ngebangun gw-

tapi kalo gw terima komen yang model

" El, make lu ga bagus deh! coba lu belajar make up lagi sana! ga ngenakin liat muka lu "
- pengen liat deh mang muka lu secakep apa seh?-

Menurut lu reaksi gw gimana?
Kalo si penulis ngarep dengan komen sampah gini gw bakal stop pajang muka gw, dan mulai rendah diri gara2 komen ga mutu gini..ya rugi di gw dong! Orang laen ga ada yg komen kayak beliau kok yee!
Gw langsung dong buka blog si tukang komen, pengen liat emang seberapa hebat sih yang nulis, napa ninggalin komen di blog orang kayaknya dia hebaaat amat! Pinter bener..nyuruh nyuruh orang and assuming kanan kiri top abis. Tapi eh, setelah gw liat blog nya..gw mutusin..untuk let it go lagi aja ah..buang-buang waktu gw aja ladenin orang kayak gini.

Haeh! gitu lah 2 minggu pertama gw di bulan January ini..nemu highlight yang macam begini.
astaga.

Semoga di taon 2013 ini gw ga nemu orang orang yang aneh aneh lagi dah!
Dan buat temen temen semua...

Happy new year! 

Telat be'eng :P
Biar taon ini jadi taon yang lebih Ok dari taon yang lalu yah.
Hip hip Horray!

Love this pretty subtle yellow colour of it.

And from there, If you likes colour...let's play it around..
Add on orange colour eyeshadow on the outer corner to create this look :)


Or layer up the orange shadow with red colour eyeshadow on the outer corner and add on the Orange eyeshadow on the middle of the eyelid to create this look:

Talika Lipocils & Black and Talika Skin Retouch

Sometimes ago, I was invited for Talika short briefing on Lipocils & Black.
Actually it is not something new to me as I am a Talika Lipocils user :)

Not sure if this awesome legendary Lipocils need further introduction, but let me tell you if you have a thin and short eyelashes like me, you might want to get one of this and start experience and believing that actually that hopeless lashes could be saved. ^^

And the latest range of Lipocils & Black actually comes really handy in conditioning the lashes and dressing up the eyes in the flash. I personally using this on daily basis and LOVING it to the max!
Try it! Try it!

I really don't know how to write more about this product o_O'
If you ask me, what is so special about it? and why would you buy it?
I think I can only say

" It works! "

Try the 28 days challenge of Lipocils!
It contains 12 botanicals that stimulate growth up to 2.5mm in 28 days :)
If you have done this, share your story with me please ^^

I got the special one! see.. there is my name on it ^^

~*~

The second product I want to share from Talika collection is:

TALIKA SKIN RETOUCH!
* Too be honest, I was a bit sceptical about this product..
it's like " how can a product give a skin retouch effect? " 

So I tried on Mom's face :P

Mom is in her 60's and have quite a wrinkle on her neck..So I applied this skin retouch before the base make up, and see it with your eyes on how this products work it's wonder!

* I swear! I didn't do any editing on her face and neck * - but I put make up on her :)

I would say, the skin retouch work amazingly on her neck skin, look at how the Talika skin retouch act as a wrinkle filler and also giving Mom a more radiant skin.

You be the judge! Do you this Talika Skin retouch works?

Moroccan Argan Oil by Seven Wonders

 " The long wait is over! The magic of Argan Oil is now within reach
in Singapore. Hollywood celebrities have been buzzing about this 
‘Liquid Gold’ and nally their secrets are revealed! Who would
think Cate Blanchett is 43? Nicole Kidman is 45 and Halle Berry is
46? Eva Mendez, Taylor Swift and Selma Hayek also vouched for
the superior moisturization and hydration of Argan Oil. "

Who doesn't want to look youthful?
Especially, if it's the well maintained look like those celebrities out there?
So it is still a pretty smart move of a product marketing to catch the audience using celebrity as a bait.
Just like me, easily..fell into this trick ^^
Or in my defence, I am just curious on what celebrity use to have a glow on their skin :P

So ladies and gentlemen..here I present you:

" Why is it so famous in Hollywood? Because it works! - they said :)
Read through on what is my take on this products..

Argan Oil is Ultra-hydrating, Antioxidant packed, and Vitamin rich.
Unlike other serum, Moroccan Argan Oil is non-greasy and perfect for all skin types.
It is quickly absorbed and regulates therelease of sebum for oily skin, hydrates dry skin, 
and calms sensitive skin. "

I must admit that I was expecting a higher concentration of the Argan oil when it pumped out from the bottle, but it is not..so gotta be careful when we pump it out :P



 I used 1 full pump to apply on my face, and I think it didn't work on me..I found it greasy and I just don't like the feeling. So I decided to keep it with me for a while and plan to tried and tested again after my Bali and Taiwan trip.

1st attempt:
Skin condition: normal
Quantity: one full pump for face only
Effect: a bit greasy and there is a shine on my skin after using it.

2nd Attempt:
Skin condition: dry
Quantity: one full pump for face and neck
Effect: LOVE IT!

It is not as shiny as the first attempt! and it's actually get my dry skin back to normal.


After getting my normal skin back, I stop using it in daily dose and using it on my neck, elbow, knee and my hair instead.

I would say that Moroccan Argan oil by seven wonders is really good for dry skin due to cold weather, sea water, or even after sun burn. At least it works to help my skin recover to after my diving trip and my cold Taiwan trip.

If you found that it's a bit greasy and oily, try to reduce the drops and apply it again.
I hope this product work for you as it is work for me :)

You can get it at WATSONS :)
Retail Price: $19.90  20 ml.  pump dispenser

Happy trying :)

Pink Lens? anyone?

Sponsored review

Thank you LoveShoppingHolics for sending me this 2 lovely lens :)
I originally plan to post this up by the weekend, but it seems like so many people keep asking me where and how to get this pink lens..so I post it up earlier! And here you go people..you can get it from LoveShoppingHolics :)

I'm gonna share up my first lens, which is a very unique colour of pink and black combination!
Usually we pair up pink and black to get a romantic yet mysterious feel in outfit..but what do you think of the impression on pink x black combination in contact lens?

Is it still romantic?

Or mysterious?
*like i can ever be one lor..* hahahha..

In anyway of what ever the impression is, I wore this lens for my Mr.'s cousin wedding back in Indonesia.
Although, at first.. I was a bit shock on how I look like on them, but I immediately love the distinct look I could creates using this lens.

So, go and grab this pretty lens while it last!

Gamila Secret..Face oil original..

Introducing:

 Gamila Secret Face Oil

Made by natural ingredients, package with love..

 This face oil contains 8 pure vegetable oils and Gamila's secret herbal mix, 

that you can use as a day and night care treatment.

S$119

I am not using this as my day and night care treatment, 

but I do use this face oil every once a week to give my skin a more glow in the morning 

or when I don't have enough water intake for couple of days.

~ my skin is actually a very accurate parameter when I don't drink enough water, does anyone of you feels the same?~

This 100% natural combination is a quickly absorbed oil that penetrates deeply into my skin; this is also can be use as make up base, but apply only after the cleansing. Also, I plan to use it on my Mr. for his after shaving balm :) I'll update you guys about that later on :)

This products is an oil based product that works lovely on my dry skin, but if you have excessive produce of face oil..I think, it will be better to reduce the amount of drops in every usage :)

Also, avoid eye area. 

Happy trying.

~*~

Fun fact: 

Do you know that actually Gamila Secret hire local people to fold and creates every packaging of the products?
