Pamper yourself with Love More Mask

Sponsored Review

Parcel came knocking at my door not long this month. Feeling elated upon receiving my couriered parcel 'for i'm sponsored with Taiwan's Love More masks by samplestore this time round. Yesh!!!! Masks are girls' best friends, especially during this period when Chinese New Year is on its way! I'll definitely want to keep my face in tip top condition to welcome this new year! I'm so glad i'm actually sponsored with masks. You came just at the right time!

Have you heard about the highly raved facial masks from Taiwan? They're known as Love More Mask, which also comes in 3D form. Love More is one of the best selling brand in Taiwan at current.
Photobucket
I was lucky enough to be sponsored with three different boxes of Love More Mask, namely Alps Spring & Phytoncide Moisturizing mask, Provence Lavender nighttime whitening mask as well as Rose Crystal & Tourmaline Peptide Moisturizing Duo Lifting mask. Endorsed by Taiwan's actress -Tiffany Hsu Wei-ning 许玮宁. If you've watched Autumn's concerto《下一站幸福》, you'll know that she is one of the main actresses in the show.

Apart from this Love More Taiwan endorser, we also have Love More Hongkong endorser, Kary Wu, who gave good comments on these masks.

Kary Wu 吳雨霏

As quoted from Kary's blog, she mentioned this "To babes who want to become prettier, let us enjoy "LOVE MORE MASK's" Magic!!"

Fantastic isn't it?!

I can't wait to try them out and see the effects for myself!!!

Today, i'm going to recommend these two masks to you, of which are my preferred ones among the three.

First and foremost, is this Provence Lavender Nighttime Whitening Mask. This lavender mask helps to relax your skin during the night time and maximizes your skin's blood circulation.

Photobucket

The key attributes of this product are:

  • Whitening and Brightening
  • Supple feel
  • Oil-control
    Photobucket

Directions of use:

  1. Fit the mask onto your face
  2. Remove the mask after 15-20 minutes
  3. Pat your skin lightly to allow remaining residue to be absorbed.
When first applied, the mask was actually tight fitting but there wasn't any discomfort. It is just nice to cover the entire face. There's quite a lot of essence so you can leave for absorption after removing the mask. I could feel it rejuvenating its effect on my skin. I'm definitely feeling more refreshed after using it. For just once, i'm already seeing effect to my skin. Rather instant effect, i would say. My skin is now smoother, fairer due to the whitening effect. On top of that, it's good at oil control too. Love the whitening effect♥♥

Next, i'm recommending you this 3D mask. I've never tried 3D masks before, hence, it was rather an exciting first attempt for me, tsktsk!

Photobucket

This 3D mask comes with ear hooks and it covers not just only your face, but also part of your neck. It's definitely tight-fitting with the hooks.

The key attributes of this product are:

  • Brighten dullness skin
  • Enhance moisture level to your skin
  • Promote collagen synthesis, increase skin elasticity

Photobucket

Directions of use:

  1. Fit the mask onto your face.
  2. Pull the hooks at the two sides to your ears.
  3. Pull the hook at the chin up to your ears.
  4. You can massage your face while waiting for your mask for 15-20 minutes to maximise absorption.

I love this piece of 3D mask too! Similar to the previous one, it rejuvenates its effect on me instantly. It brightens my skin and enhances the moisture level in my skin. My skin is now smoother and fairer! Due to this tight-fitting mask(with the additional ear hooks), it also has this lifting up effect which i feel it's a plus point!

Photobucket

Love More mask also comes with good packaging. Just look at the packaging alone for individual piece! So sweet and kawaii!!!

If you're interested in purchasing this Love more mask from Taiwan, it's available exclusively in Watsons.

Price of Love more mask:
3D Mask (5 pieces) - $ 8.90
Mask (5 pieces) - $7.90

Alternatively, you can also redeem the love more sample from thesamplestore webpage. The sample is free but with standard postage fees applied. So hurry, grab yours now!!!

Thank you for this sponsorship!

Now i'm ALL READY for CNY!!!

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR ALL! Be BLESSED in this rabbit year:D

The trend is back during semester break.

Usually after a semester, we'll try to organize a senior cum junior day outing to catch up with one another, in particular with our seniors! This is the norm for cds. On a happier note, i'm glad it once again went on smoothly as planned. Considered successful huh though it's only a small group. It's always the usual few who are available and agreeable to this outing, hence, we decided to keep it small this time round. Nevertheless, there was endless fun with them all that day.
Photobucket
Early in the morning, Jie ying agreed to meet us up for a morning breakfast 'for Sok will have to leave after 11am once again. Thanks Jie ying for being willing to meet up this early with us, haha! Sorry to deprive you from your sleep, lol.
As my friend got to leave early, we must definitely capture some photos with her and Jie ying as keepsake. As for me, i decided to leave more phototakings towards the later part of the day since i'll be with her and the rest throughout the afternoon and evening time:)

Soon after leaving lot one, my friends and i proceeded on to our next stop, Buona Vista, to meet eileen and later on meet fang xuan straight at Holland Village for EVERYTHING WITH FRIES! If you still remember, in one of my previous entries, i did mention about this western cafe restaurant which serves delectable western food. This time round, i'm back to this place again for it's also one of my suggestions!
Photobucket
They have all the starters, main courses, desserts...etc written on the wall. It looks as though it was written with white chalk on the old kind of blackboards in school. Nice interior design.
Photobucket
These were what we've ordered that day. eileen went for this breaded king salmon main course. The salmon tastes okay, but we all feel that the sauce that comes along doesn't go very well with the salmon. Next time round, we shall just do away with its sauce. we couldn't make out what sauce is it either after tasting it.
Photobucket
my friend brought along another small accessory-like camera and we all were fascinated with it. Note, this is not a fake camera! It is REAL and it works on those kind of films, whereby after you've captured, you'll have to wash out the films in order to see those photos. Somewhat like the old type of cameras but with a more artistic design! How interesting, isn't it?

After a fulfilling lunch at Everything with fries, we proceeded on to our 3rd stop for the day, which is Haji Lane. I've never been there before but heard others raving about this place.
Photobucket
This is Haji Lane. It is located somewhere near bugis area, but you'll have to walk a stretch of road. Haji Lane is more like rows of shophouses as you can see from the above photo.
Photobucket
Some random shots captured in the shops in Haji Lane. It was more like a window-shopping for me in the end 'for i didn't get a single piece for myself. i'm just not in the shopping mood nowadays, lol. Except when i'm overseas, i'll then go all out for a shopping spree there!

We managed to comb the whole Haji Lane 'for it isn't that big. Soon after that, we proceeded on to Iluma for a tea time break. Our legs were almost breaking and we were all tired out from the long walk. we went to this ice-cream dessert place to chill.

Photobucket
And again it's CAM-WHORING TIME!!!!!

Great day out with the seniors once again! Andd this time round, we have more seniors joining us! The more, the merrier! Thank you seniors for all the fun and do take care! We shall be seeing you guys some other days again, most probably after the end of next semester! That's our cds trend, isn't it?:)

That's for now.

Keep the fun spirit alive!

It was hell loads of fun last Thursday. We've got activties lined up for us from morning till late evening with different groups of companions. Early morning, the trio met up for movie at GV Plaza Sing. I've got the priviledge to purchase 1-for-1 movie ticket during my birthday month 'for i'm a Golden Village member. With this fantastic offer given to me, i extended out my invitation to wk and sok. Together, we proceeded down to Plaza Sing to catch the 11.30am show- *HELLO STRANGER*! It has been ages since we last watched a movie together. The very last one was *Alvin and the chipmunks*. And that was quite some time ago...
Photobucket
We boarded bus 190 and headed down to plaza sing. We reached our destination on the dot and soon after purchasing the tickets at the counter, wk went to buy nachos cheese munchies.

Our row numbers.

*HELLO STRANGER* is a thai movie. BUTTT, it has got both english and chinese subtitles so you don't have to worry that you can't make sense out of the entire show. To me, i feel that it is a nice, touching romance movie with some comical essence. Though a hilarious show, some parts are really touching when both the female and male lead come together. Sparks Fly* I shall not reveal too much of it here! By the way, the male lead is kinda' good-looking and he's a funny chap inside the movie. You know something, throughout the whole show, we've still yet to know their names in the movie 'for as the movie title goes: "HELLO STRANGER", haha!

As the synopsis goes:

A love story about two strangers who know nothing about each other and fall in love.
He is a football fanatic, videogame nerd, social butterfly, comic lover, tired of love stories and a cynic of love while she is Korean soap opera fan, beef lover, devout radio station listener, avid book reader, and homebody. Together, they are perfect strangers who will travel, eat, share a room, and talk about anything and everything including each others top secrets.

Soon after movie, Sok got to rush down to meet her secondary school friends. Wk and me continued with our own activities for the day. Firstly, he accompanied me down to some ulu places in Chinatown to collect movie tickets 'for i've won 4 narnia in season tickets by InSing. It was difficult finding our way there but we managed to get the tickets at the end. Thank you wk for your company. After that long search and we finally got hold of our tickets, we went on to settle down at a dian xin restaurant, somewhere in Chinatown to have a tea time break. This dian xin restaurant recommended by him is simply terrific! Love the egg tarts and the fried shrimp dumplings to the max!!!!! The thought of it now simply makes one drool. Anddd we've yet to try their claypot which also seems good.

Photobucket

You have my guarantee! This restaurant seriously sells yummilicious dian xin. You've got to savour. The photos alone are appealing, don't you agree?!

we've also got koi to pamper ourselves under this hot weather.

That is not the end to it. Towards late afternoon going to evening time, we met up with another group of companions, our seniors (eileen & michelle)!!! Michelle is finally back from Aussie, not permanent stay here but just for a short summer break. She's flying back soon next week. Still, we're glad we get to have this rare opportunity to meet up with her. Thanks eileen for informing us that she's back! And yet again, it's FOOD!!!! we just love to pamper ourselves and indulge in different varieties of foodiessss!!!! The next stop was Soup spoon.
Photobucket
I recommend you the chicken soup here in Soup spoon! It is the best among the rest we've ordered. Inside the soup, it has got lots of tender chicken chunks and it seems like there's no end to it!

And nowwww it's CAM-WHORE TIME!!!

Photobucket

wei kiat and michelle
Photobucket

eileen and me

How could we have missed out taking photos with the seniors when we don't often see them? Definitely phototaking is a MUST here! haha.
Photobucket

As we continued to walk along Orchard, we chanced upon this christmas tree right outside Ion Orchard! A good time for another cam-whoring session! The bling bling christmas tree makes a nice background during the late evening. Anddd coincidentally that day, my friends and i bumped into 陈罗密欧 at Ion Orchard. He's one of the finalists in the Star Search Competition in case you guys don't know who he is, lol.

It was a nice session out with the seniors. Hope to meet up with the seniors once again after the next semester for there is always laughters, joys and fantastic memories left behind when we are with them!

CDS simply rocks! It brings us all together! Common Dreams Shared♥♥♥

That's for now.

we're already in the festive mood♥♥♥

This year's christmas was a special one to me. Frankly speaking, i'm not the one who often celebrates christmas. To me, 25th december is just another ordinary day of public holiday. This year's one was different. I had my first ever gift exchange with flowers over at Bugis's TOPONE. It was unique in a way for that was the first time i had a formal gift exchange with the girls whereby each one of us drew lots and buy a christmas gift for the person we've chosen. On top of that, to make it more exciting, we're supposed to come up with a word, phrase or a sentence to describe this secret person we've chosen! The task given to the rest was to guess the identity of this person during each round!

Let me just share with you what we girls gave individually! This is FUNNY!
Ling took the ball rolling and she started with *ACCESSORIES*- Guess who?
Next up, followed by Vivian and she said:"这个人通常很少生病!"
Shu hui mentioned "这个人一出身就和我有关系!"
Me: "This person has strong principle!"
Yue lian: "简单就是美!" - wOw, just 5 words phrase to describe this person.
Lastly, followed by shu wen who gave this description: "不男不女!!!" (All of us couldn't help but burst out into LAUGHTERS!!! LOL. This is way too funny and we were all hoping this person she described isn't us!)

That's how interesting we flowers can go to the extent in making our Christmas gift exchange a more interesting and exciting one!:) I totally enjoyed that session!

So in the end, i was that lucky one picked by vivian and shu wen was the one picked by me. Both ling and yue lian was the lucky pair 'for they managed to choose each other's name! On top of that, they also gave each other facial stuffs. What a coincidence! Vivian got me a black bag hanger which matches the black bag they gave me during my birthday! Thank you, girl. For myself, i got shu wen a cherry body lotion & shower gel from bodyshop.

Not forgetting yue lian's christmas card which she will never fail to give us each year, tsktsk!
Shu hui's souvenir from taiwan and vivian's ezlink card sticker!
Thank you babes!

This time round, k-session lasted as long as 7 hours continuously. From 11.00am till 6pm. And with mastercard, we get to enjoy 1-for-1 offers! That's so FANTASTIC!

You know, i actually fall sick at such an untimely period when i've activities lined up for this whole week. Despite that, i insisted going k-session with the girls yesterday. i wouldn't want to miss out the fun with them! To my surprise, it did not worsen my condition, but rather, help to unblock my blocked nose and clear my throat, LOL.

Now, i'm sooo looking forward to meeting deb and xiangna later at Orchard!!! woOhoO! i shall enjoy my life to the fullest during this short three weeks holiday before the next killer semester commences.
LASTLY,

MERRY CHRISTMAS IN ADVANCE TO ALL! Share the joys of this festive season with your love ones♥ GOD BLESS YOU!♥

Photobucket

HOHOHOHO! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!♥♥♥

That's for now.

J.E.S.H premediated a surprise plan for my advance birthday celebration. With the intial thought that we would be meeting one another @ lot one, wk and joyce popped out of nowhere and shocked me. Sok was with them. She all along knew about this 'for she was part of this secretive plan, lol. Thank you j.e.sh, i'm touched by your appearance outside my workplace!

Soon after that, i was told to choose a place to settle down for dinner and i suggested pasta mania. Guys, thank you for that fulfilling and yummilicious dinner treat. i love my bacon fusilli. That's not the end to it. As i was busy talking away with wk, joyce handed me a handmade birthday card, followed by a j.e.s.h strap during the later part of the day. i always love handmade stuffs. Appreciate your efforts in decorating the card. The one and only handmade card by j.e.s.h in this world. tsktsk. Not forgetting all your heartfelt wishes.

yum!yum!

This day has come. Not doomsday, but our long-awaited freedom.

Yeshhh!!! Exams OFFICIALLY over!

With that, it's time for me to first blog on my birthday celebration. Sorry netizens, this entry is delayed but still, it is within my birthday month. i promised to blog about it to thank the efforts put in by my lovely girls in their secret planning of an advance celebration for me amidst our stressful exam period. Thank you girls.

Photobucket

Coincidentally on that day which happened to be the submission of our last assignment, the girls secretly planned a surprise birthday celebration for me. Frankly speaking, i wasn't up to any suspicion 'cause all along we've already said we will be going for a mini celebration to reward our hard works in accomplishing ALL our assignment tasks. Near to 12 assignments in a semester... phew! we survived not just that but also our exams.

Anyway, we proceeded to jurong point's Ding Tai Fung for a lunch celebration. Yanni joined us as well. The more, the merrier. And it was there where the girls celebrated my birthday. ARGHHH! i was rather touched and taken aback at the same time when the cake was being served by the waitress. Vivian also offered to take a picture of mine with her polaroid and afterwhich we took turns to take pictures with the instant films. Thank you vivian and ling for bringing your polaroids♥ Love the photos♥

Photobucket
These photos above are not the actual ones captured with the instant film. They're my self-edited version. lol.

well...but the below ones are!!!

Photobucket

my birthday cake!♥

Photobucket

At Ding Tai Fung, we ordered their famous xiao long bao!

Yummilicious! Sometimes, it is time for a change of western to chinese delicacies! The xiao long bao reminds me of the time when i was away on a hongkong trip and my family and i went to this restaurant for DIAN XIN! i love dim sum! And hongkong sells the BEST dim sum, haha!

Here's a full clique photo.

Goodnight peeps.
