4 Dian Jing (四点金) + Guo Da Li

2022-09-15T16:19:00.018+08:00

Hello readers!!! I'm officially married and pronounced as Mrs Hwang HAHHAHA like finally after 10+ years later. Both Abel and I knew for sure what we wanted as a couple in life and thus we are slowly working towards it. After dating for over 10 years, we knew that it's time to move on to the next phase in life (being 30 this year... as the real real old adult...)

Honestly, I know I rarely update this space anymore but I still keep this domain close to my heart as it's almost like my precious memory storage space.. - scrolling back to as early as 2011/2012 lol. so I'm just gonna update as and when I'm less busy with work and life :)

Today I'm gonna share my experience on buying/shopping for my 4 Dian Jing + Guo Da Li. I'm no expert at all and every girl experienced just once in their life-time, so me too! My experience was a simple and happy one. I felt blessed during the process and I'm also glad that everything went smoothly for both me and Abel (as well as our families).

So here we go~

We did went to Fengshui Master to "Suan" the auspicious date and timing for our actual Guo Da Li day which was around 1.5 month-ish before our actual wedding date.

Other than settling the standard Guo Da Li stuffs from those typical Chinese Guo Da Li stores that sells all kind of Guo Da Li required items, the next thing important is to shop for 4 Dian Jing.

So what is 4 Dian Jing (四点金) ?

In short, 4 Dian Jing comprises typically of a necklace, bangle/bracelet, ring and a pair of earrings made from real Gold. (It can be 916 or 999 Gold). It is a gift given by groom's mom (mother-in-law) down to the bride as a blessing and for welcoming the bride into the family officially. It could be brand new pieces of Gold or it could also be passed on from one generation to the next. This is the Chinese Wedding Tradition that most Singaporean Chinese follows. So did I haha.

For my case, Abel's mom asked me to get myself new pieces of Gold for my 4 Dian Jing, and I obliged!

There are many Gold shops in Singapore and I was recommended by one of my closest friend to get it from Taka Jewellery/ or from their sister brand: TopCash Jewellery!!

They have options of both 916 and 999 Gold depending on your budget & personally preferences. Value of gold jewelry depends on the amount of gold used, the weight, as well as the pattern/design of the jewelry (workmanship).

I picked 999 Gold in the end because firstly, I knew I will be keeping/treasuring these Gold jewelry with me till the very end, which also means I wouldn't be wearing them out often - One important thing to note for 999 Gold! Since 999 is the purest form of gold - meaning it contains 99.9% gold, it it highly malleable in it's purest form as compared to 916 Gold (which contains 91.6% Gold). Also, I really loved the designs under 999 Gold!!

It's all about personal preferences. Most of my girlfriends picked 916 Gold as their 4 Dian Jings. :)

A photo taken when I was in Taka Jewelry.

They have a wide variety of designs to select from so there's is no way you wouldn't find something that is to your liking hahah.

I'm a Libra and this honestly was really confusing for me!! I did had a hard time selecting the pieces I love (because I was too spoilt for choices haha)

FIRST UP! Necklace!!!!

PLENTY OF SELECTIONS BUT I ended up picking this:

Ok TBH, this is pretty easy for me. I've always wanted a thick gold chain necklace and this piece immediately caught my attention and I was like: Ok this one confirmed! The design is nice!!! Don't need to look for alternatives, I loved this and I don't want to confuse myself further haha.

It's within my given budget too hehe

Next up: Earrings!

Not a huge huge fan of earrings as I rarely wear earrings but these 2 caught my attention in the end. Both are more modern-looking and elegant.

And this shall be my final pick:

I prefer hooked earrings as it's much easier to wear than studded ones don't you agree? haha.

And the butterfly design is in 3D, it's so nice~

Bracelet's next!

Oh man, not gonna lie I had the hardest time choosing my ideal bracelet!

I wanted something simple yet prominent.

I had to compare and match it with my yellow gold Cartier bracelet and..

I reckon this is the best!! I think I've made a right choice. Abel said this looks best together with my Cartier bracelet, which I very much agreed. It's simple, not over-powering yet obvious.

You get what i mean right? I love my pick!! 999 Gold bracelet.

I have to wear it with care as it's pretty malleable.

Finally, the Ring!

I do also have a hard time deciding on the Gold ring design that I love!

This is pretty cute though but it seems abit fragile to me (in my opinion, because I'm very careless in handling stuffs)

Oh I wanted this initially because it's matchy matchy with Abel's abacus gold ring haha

But this is the winner!!!:

Yes I love this the moment I put it on! I can feel it's volume and the design is very sleek as well. :)

Love love love this! I would wear this out often to be honest hehe!

SOOOO I'm done picking out my 999 Gold 4 Dian Jing (within 45 mins hahhaha)

It's tough choices ok!

I did my best and I loved all that I've selected!! They are basic and NICE enough for me to wear out matching my daily outfits! *pats shoulder* good job Joanna.

Most importantly, they are under our budget! Love that they are priced reasonably and more pocket-friendly as compared to the other gold shops. Not gonna disclose how much was our budget but it's around the few thousands range.

You can head down to the store to ask for the prices ok ^^

I was quite silly to get myself a new 4 Dian Jing box from TB...

Because the box they provided us with was nice enough for photos haha.

With black base, so the Gold looks more obvious on photos.

Bling bling no filter!! My butterfly earrings and necklace are so shiny~ hah

After settling everything! It's finally the actual Guo Da Li day!

Abel and my Mom-in-law

A pic of us tgt~

One with my parents too.

Look at my precious 4 Dian Jing!

It looks really presentable and pronounced, super love them!

It was a great great choice to get them from :

Taka Jewellery

Top Cash Jewellery Official

Also pairing them with my cheongsam during my wedding tea ceremony.

It did gave a new finish touch matching the pink cheongsam :)

It's a pity that I did not managed to capture the other gold pieces that I was wearing too. :( Missing the earrings, gold & bracelet.

But I will share more photos once I've received the photos from my photographer! Stay tuned xx

[Review] Profhilo - Skin Rejuvenation Treatment for Tired, Ageing Skin - The Clifford Clinic

2022-07-29T17:48:00.013+08:00

Hi all!!! It's been awhile and my life has been nothing but super busy :(

More so this month as I'm currently preparing for my big day!

YES I'm finally getting married after 10 years haha! Here's a sneak peek of my pre-wed photos.

(These photos are taken after my Profhilo treatment done in The Clifford Clinic)

Since it’s my BIG DAY, I wanna look my best! So after doing much research on the must-do treatments for all brides-to-be, I've decided to give Profhilo a go! And I did not regret my choice for 1 second!

My Mom did once Profhilo once in 2020 and the effect/result was pretty amazing on her after just one treatment.

The result is subtle but it does makes a huge difference especially when she removes her make up. Her skin looks brighter, tighter and more hydrated.

And with the help of Profhilo, she definitely looks even better with her makeup on. She was telling me that her makeup glides on easily after the procedure.

You can read her review over this link below:

http://unwiseee.blogspot.com/2020_02_08_archive.html

I knew how Profhilo works already because I accompanied my Mom throughout the treatment previously. Dr Gerard Ee did her profhilo but because Dr Ee was not in Singapore that week, I saw Dr Chow Yuen Ho instead.

For those who are not familiar with Profhilo and how it works, here's a summary:

The innovation of Profhilo® contains no additional chemical stabilizers were used. It is a 100% pure HA-based product that effectively combats aging and sagging skin. The HA complexes can directly provide volume and structure to the face, reducing sagging.

Look at the QR code, these stickers proved that The Clifford Clinic is using only authentic Profhilo.

After the procedure, Profhilo® diffuses across multiple skin layers to improve skin laxity and hydration. For people who have acne scars, profhilo can help soften the appearance of the scars too.

Before injection, Dr Chow marked out 5 injection points on each side of the patients face, giving a total of 10 points. It was done very quickly, I think less than 10 minutes in total!

Basically, it's one of the highly recommended and sought-after treatment nowadays. Due to it's minimal downtime, effect on skin, duration of treatment! It helps the best with hydration and collagen stimulation!

My Procedure Day

At the waiting area, waiting for my numbing cream to sit in.

Let's start the procedure! Dr Chow is marking the 5 injection points on each side of my face.

I know it looks scary! And yes, even with numbing cream there's still pain but the procedure is really really quick. like 5 minutes per side. 10 minutes in total!

I'm really thankful to Dr Chow. He is extremely experienced and his hands are stable. He injected swiftly and accurately to each point and I'm turn in no time!

HAHA I look kind of scary right after the injection. No fret, it's normal!

It looks like bee-stings I know HAHAHAH. I got a shock initially as well and the "bee-stings" are so well balanced on each side of my face HAHA. But thank god for mask right now, I can go home right after the treatment without looking weird since the injections are at the lower part of my face (fully covered by the mask)!

Anyway, the best thing is that they actually subside the next day after waking up from bed.

The downtime is so fast! It's as if I did not do any injections at all, I went out the very next day with makeup and no one even question me about it. Amazing~ :)

If you have dinner plans, I'd suggest you to make the earliest appointment with Clifford Clinic for the Profhilo injection, so the injections can subside just in time for the night.

Effect will be seen after 1 month, so I waited patiently for 1 month and here's the end result:

Yes, the result is subtle, but I genuinely feel my face is much more hydrated, brighter and firmer!

Especially when this picture was taken when I was in Thailand Bangkok - the weather is so bad for my skin.

Here's another one without edit or filter. When I zoom into the picture, I realised my complexion is brighter (a little glow-y!) and generally more youthful after doing Profhilo!

So grateful for the bridal glow!

If you have acne scars or hair loss concerns, feel free to drop by The Clifford Clinic!

Happy Birthday Skincare Time Essence + Time Machine Review

2022-06-01T20:01:00.002+08:00

Do you want to achieve the pretty V-Shaped Face every girl seeks for naturally safely, without invasive procedures? Yay congrats, you have come to the right blog post!

Lack of collagen can lead to dry skin, enlarged pores, sagging skin, wrinkles, and many other unwanted skin problems. The frozen age is what every woman wants~ Yea I know I know!

I’m definitely experiencing aging myself and I have been searching a product that suits my skin type and actually works for my age. There are many new products out there to explore and try and I so by chance come across this product that I love so much and I’m going to introduce to you guys ^^ cause good thing must share they say haha~

I would like to introduce you my new skin regime using Happy Birthday Skincare’s Time Essence + Time Machine powerful combo! My new found holy grail!!!

It’s as if turning back the hands of time to grant me a more youthful appearance every day! Hahah!

Happy Birthday's Anti-Aging Whitening Time Essence contains five active ingredients - Swiss Apple Stem Cells, Superoxide Dismutase, Acetyl Hexapeptide, Palmitoyl Tripeptide, Sodium Hyaluronate. These ingredients had the functions of reversing aging, increasing skin collagen, hydration, firming and lifting, promoting skin metabolism and maintenance, and can effectively reduce wrinkles/fine lines, including the neck.

To enjoy optimal results with Time Essence, use it with Happy Birthday’s Time Machine which uses gentle LED pulsed light therapy.

Charging this powerful device for 4 hours before officially using it!

• Red LED diminishes signs of ageing and boosts self-repair.

• Green LED evens out skin tones, brightens dull complexions and softens dark spots.

• Blue LED stabilizes overactive oil production and prevents breakouts.

My favourite is the Red & Green LED light as it combats signs of ageing and is able to obtain a lifted V-Shaped face naturally! I can see the radiance of skin instantly; it works just like magic! Glide the device over your face in an upward motion to firm up your skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.

Follow these steps for 10 minutes to achieve a remarkable improvement rejuvenated, lifted, and healthier skin!

Firstly, drip the Time Essence to the face directly. One drop per side, apply gently and evenly across your face.

Next, turn on the Time Machine, choosing the LED light based on your skin condition:

-Blue: Suppress acne, purify skin, shrink pores, improve oily and sensitive skin and activate skin

-Red: helps to penetrate Time Essence deep to the bottom of the skin which improves skin dullness, diminishes the look of fine lines & wrinkles, revitalizes skin, and eliminates signs of aging

-Green: Soothes skin, firmness, brightening and evens out skin tone, restores radiance to a dull complexion and fades dark spots like dark-eye cycle & eye puffiness

Apply upward motion, from low to top, from inner to outer of cheek, forehead, jawline area.

Once you are done after 10 minutes, proceed to apply your choice of moisturiser, sunblock & makeup J

It’s this easy and therapeutic! You will definitely see a difference after this 10minutes regime and do continue using it for a longer period of time to see the full effect.

After using for 2 weeks, my personal results includes a more lifted, brightened skin tone, minimized fine lines & laughing lines, and it's also moisturising at the same time, which is important!

I feel like a mature lady taking great care of my skin health every time!

My SlimLit Experience - Bottom Slim NY

2021-01-06T15:51:00.006+08:00

Hello readers!!

I'm so excited to visit BOTTOM SLIM for their signature SlimLit treatment and it's my first time ever!

With my current lifestyle of sleeping late at night, snacking & drinking, it's no doubt that I have problems like constant water retention and stubborn fats. I'm especially concern with my fat arms :(

I dare not wear sleeveless without a cardigan/jacket too much.

It may not be a big deal but it is definitely something that I'm conscious about.

I'm no longer as skinny as I was previously, aging definitely plays a big part too - slower metabolism rate. (and to be honest, I'm too lazy and busy to exercise hahaha)

Giving Bottom Slim's SlimLit treatment a good try! Let the photos do the talking shall we? ^^

Arrived at Bottom Slim! SO EXCITING HEHE

Cosy Interior to welcome me!

Thank god everyone there were friendly and kind to assist me!

Mask on~ Mirror selfie while waiting for the beautician to guide me through.

I was told to first fill up this body analysis form before heading into the consultation room

Consultation room where I will meet my beauty consultant, Apple.

Here I would need to explain my main body concern to Apple.

Display of their popular products used during the treatments.

I was then asked to change into a black rob for the body assessment.

A quick snap after my consultation/assessment. I explained to Apple that my main concern would be my flabby fat arms and I'm glad that Apple was quick to point out what treatment was needed accordingly!!

I'm very amazed by Apple's professionalism too. She was very clear with the explanation (how does fats accumulate on our bodies etc) and that assured me as she really has the full knowledge to advise us.

She told me I would immediately feel and see a difference after doing the treatment but of course I was in doubt initially. How can it be this fast?

After the assessment with my consultant, Apple, she then brought me into my personal room to conduct the SlimLit treatment. Process was smooth and swift, no hard pushing.

Definitely feeling comfortable here. I almost felt asleep during the treatment hehehe.

There's NO pain at all for all procedures and I honestly enjoyed those treatments and the results afterwards.

I mean, can you imagine slimming down instantly after an hour of treatment just by laying there comfortably? RIGHT?! HAHA and it works!

SlimLit

It consists 4 types of different treatments to effectively target affected areas. For my case, it would be my arms.

First treatment: 50K machine to help break down the inner layer fats + firming of my arms. Treatment took 20 mins. Apple told me that she has mixed different products together with the cooling Nano firming gel onto my arms, and using the 50K machine to rub around it. (10 mins on each side of my arms)

The interesting part is you are able to hear a rather loud ringing sound whenever the machine goes to the area that has more accumulated fats/toxins & gradually decreasing as you go.

Note: Both my arms were really really cold after the 50K treatment but it's normal, the cooling nano firming cream is taking it's effect to firm and burn fats :)

My arm before the treatment.

Before. Measurement of my upper arm area (26cm)

Before. Measurement of my lower arm area (25cm)

And AFTER! HOW AMAZING? My arm looks significantly smaller already. Let's check out the measurements to be accurate.

AFTER. Measurement of my upper arm area (25cm)

Reduced 1 cm on the upper arm!

AFTER. Measurement of my lower arm area (23.5cm)

Reduce 1.5 cm on the lower arm!

IT'S AWESOME!!! I believe there's a combination of stubborn fats and water retention but I don't mind as long as I feel lighter and slimmer yay!!

Even water retention is hard to get rid off to be fair...

Next up!

E-Matrix treatment which helps detox all lymph nodes in our body where toxins/stubborn fats are found. Treatment takes 20 minutes.

This treatment is definitely amazing because I felt absolutely nothing for 20 minutes?

The result after 20 minutes, the "radiation" sucked out our fats and cellulite effectively and it shows up when the light was flashed onto the wall.

3rd Treatment: Wrap – Shaping, Sculpting.

After applying a thick layer of collagen, Apple helped me to wrap it up for better absorptions.

This reatment takes (15mins)

No pain at all :) I was comfortably watching my Kdrama!

Last treatment!

Body Vibration Exercise to help burn calories and to improve our body's blood circulation in general.

Machine was placed below of my bottom legs. Treatment lasted for 15mins.

Apple told me that just by doing this 15 minutes procedure, you are able to burn off 380 to 400 calories! That's consider very good!

Overall thoughts: Treatment is extremely pleasant and painless. I was comfortable and happy with my consultant and the whole experience. If you are keen in the treatment, be sure to spare 1.5-2 hours of your time for Bottom Slim's SlimLit procedure, but I'm sure it's worth your time.

I definitely feel lighter with a slimmer arms after the treatment yay!

[Review] Eye Thread Lift Experience with The Clifford Clinic

2020-12-22T21:44:00.004+08:00

Hello readers! I'm back again with another round review blog post!

It's a little different this time round, so read on! ^^

PDO Thread Lift is definitely well-recognized as the latest & safest procedure when it comes to non-invasive treatment.
The more popular thread lifts includes nose thread lift, face thread lift and brows but I bet many of you have not heard of eye thread lift!
Neither do I!

Visited celebrity clinic, The Clifford Clinic a month back and I was explaining my concerns to Dr Gerard Ee about my sunken tired-looking + bad dark-eye-circles! Argh I have to admit that I have a really bad habit to sleep late at night and aging isn't helping. I should have learnt! But it's too late for me, no way to reverse time..
Initially, I thought that Dr Ee would have recommended me to do undereye fillers to plump up the area as it is a very common procedure to help with dark eye circles. I was pretty taken aback when he mentioned "Eye Thread Lift" instead!

Never knew thread lift could be used on the under eyes too!

I've always trusted Dr Ee's advises so I'm open to trying new procedure that may have better results.
He patiently explained the benefits of doing eye thread lifts as compared to undereye fillers.

Thread lifts generally help stimulate collagen production for a more youthful-looking appearance. In addition, the threads help eliminate wrinkles and lines for an overall smoother appearance.

Fillers are good to fill up the hollowness of the sunken undereye however there might be risk of lumpiness and bruising at the injected area if injected incorrectly. It is important to get yourself a skillful doctor for fillers procedure.

Eye Thread Lift procedure uses dissolvable threads as a double action effect to reposition the tissue and gradual regeneration of collagen. These threads would be fully dissolved hence there is no need to remove them. The lifting effect is immediate as the threads are placed in the fat layer beneath the undereye where lifting is required.

The main reason why Dr Gerard Ee recommends thread lifts over filler is because it is safer and more cost-effective!

I look so dead tired without my undereye concealer :(

Yeah it was this bad..

It's equally bad even under dim lights. Oh no...

Here we go after 20 minutes of numbing cream on!
Similar as nose thread lift, you will feel something during the local anesthesia injections.
I had 2 jabs on each sides on the eyes. Pain level: 7/10
Yeap it is painful but no pain no gain so I endured well haha.

Doctor Ee placed 10 eye threads on each sides of my undereye.

It depends on the lift you desire! Dr Ee is highly trained and experience to know how many threads were needed to be placed under my eyes to achieve the desired look!

It's not painful when the threads are inserted after injecting the local anesthesia.
Just a slight uncomfortable feeling, frankly speaking.

Entire procedure lasted only about 15 minutes (excluding numbing)
It was quick and I recalled chatting with Dr Ee throughout the procedure haha :)

He would check on me time to time and ask if it's too painful for me and I'm so thankful!

(^Read what I have to say ^)
The very next day of the eye thread lift procedure.
Slight discomfort, but there's no bruising/infection which was awesome!
I can easily cover the injection marks with concealer.

This is near 1 month later! NO MAKEUP before bed after masking!
Can you see the drastic difference! I don't look tired anymore!

There's no need for thick makeup to conceal my hollow/tired eyes anymore!

I'm really happy with the end results! Thank you so much Dr Ee and The Clifford Clinic!

Trip to Tokyo Bust Express!

2020-09-23T21:45:00.000+08:00

Finally an update and my personal review to Tokyo Bust Express for Bust Treatment!

I just wanna say this before you proceed reading the rest: Don't be afraid, don't need to feel embarrassed or care about other people's opinion. Just do what makes you happy and do what is right for you own self-confidence and well-being.

I love myself and I love my body, I chose to go to Tokyo Bust Express for Bust Treatment because I believe it would definitely help on improving blood circulation and we all know that having good blood circulation is extremely important.
Also opted for the Firming Treatment!

I'm not afraid to share this but I ever went to the hospital to do a check because I felt a harder lump in there, turns out it's just accumulated fats so I'm fine don't worry haha.
BUT IT WAS REALLY REALLY SCARY.. and I remembered I felt so much like crying. Thank god it was nothing but a false alarm. After that incident, I knew blood circulation is really important to our body. Of course, not only the bust area but the rest of the body as well - that's why it's good to go for massage sessions frequently if you can :)

I totally trust Tokyo Bust Express as we all know that they are one of the longest bust contour salon in Singapore and they have also won several outstanding awards throughout the years. I know I'm in good hands!
Tokyo Bust uses up-to-date technology, age-old techniques and the purest herbaceous extracts to assist in bust contour without any pills or surgery. Sounds awesome already!

There are altogether 4 types of services provided by Tokyo Bust Express:
1) Bust Contour - enhanced treatment to cultivate a sensual bust cleavage. Designed to deliver optimal volume for the underdeveloped bust, the result seen will be a more curvaceous and firmer bust region

2) Bust Contouring - aims to perfect asymmetric or contorted breasts. Revitalizing and strengthening bust support tissues, a bust contouring treatment boosts and beautifies the empty sections of the decollete area, making it shapelier and balanced.

3) Bust Lifting - rejuvenates the skin to tone and increases the firmness of the minute muscles in the bust area, putting an end to sagging breasts.

4) Bust Treatment - improved circulation for our delicate bust area which helps to minimize the occurrence of bust-related illnesses. (It's really an underrated natural bust treatment, I'd recommend this!)

After so many texts, let's have some photos here to do the talking!
So here we go!

Visited the outlet at NEX SERANGOON for my treatments!
All pink and red themed interior, perfect for us ladies haha!
I feel refreshed the moment I stepped in.
Also received a warm welcome from the lovely staffs and therapists :)

A reminder to maintain safety distancing and keeping our masks on all time. Thumbs up*!

Love cozy consultation rooms like this! Don't you?

I feel at ease talking to my therapist :)
As if speaking to a friend to let them know my main concerns.

She had explained to me that there will definitely be toxins accumulated in our lymphatic nodes inevitably as we age.
I do have extra fats around my armpit area and those are the accumulated toxins. I was shocked upon knowing facts like this. There are no good for us and they look hideous too, oh good lord! Can't wait to get rid of them.. :(

Mirror selfie is mandatory? HAHA Just snapping some photos before heading to a separate room to start my treatment.

I was then led to a private room to do my monthly bust treatment.
Gotta place my belongings in the wardrobe area first to keep it safe.

Hello there! Two quick shots before getting changed to a black robe provided.

I'M READY!

No photos during the treatment of course haha!
Oh and also NO MALES ALLOWED IN AT ALL TIMES. I love this idea though I couldn't have Abel accompany me down for my treatment. He had to wait for me to be done somewhere else.

All done! Changed back up but pardon my hair for being a little messy after the treatment hahaha.

The treatment took about 1-2 hours including consultation. So do remember to set aside 2 hours for your monthly treatments.
The room was cozy, I feel very comfortable with my therapist throughout the bust treatment.
To be honest, I did experienced some discomfort. During the ust treatment, therapist will be massaging our lymphatic nodes within the bust and you all should know how massage works!
Yes it can be painful but it's bearable, and I knew that it's all for my own good.
You may voice out and inform her that it's too painful for you.

After each treatment, I can genuinely feel the differences!
My lymphatic nodes are no longer swollen nor as painful as before.
I feel great in total and the firming of the bust is also visible after each sessions!
But of course, we have to be consistent with our monthly treatments to see optimal results :)

Thank you Tokyo Bust Express! I was given aftercare products to further maintain a healthy bust at the comfort of my home.
They had patiently taught me how to use them. I totally appreciate them for being so friendly and professional which makes me look forward to my next session each round!

Aftercare products includes Bust-Licious Tightening Bust Gel + 3 x Bust Essence to do the bust massages.
I was told to use them simultaneously, one after another.

This bust gel is designed to help lift, tone and tighten the delicate skin of the bust contour. It delivers optimal efficacy in improving the tonicity and uplifts the bust for a visibly elevated, plumped and firmer bust line with every use.

Advised to use twice daily (day and night) but I'll usually use this only at night because this gel is a little richer and heavier.

Bust Essence - formulated Japan, made in Switzerland.
Pump essence onto palm and then massage gently from both sides to the middle until it is fully absorbed.
Advised to use twice daily - day and night.

My therapist/masseur! You girls can look for her at the Nex outlet but all the other ladies are equally skilled and nice!
So let's not be biased!

2020-09-07T22:42:00.000+08:00

GoFunShoes AR Shoes Try-On App has brought online shoes-shopping purchasing to a whole new level!

When we do online shopping from different platforms, especially the ones from overseas, we can only visualize in our mind how the items would look like they arrived.

First up!!! Lady's Flats from ILR

Love the floral prints on this lovely pair. It’s easy to match with basics and it's good for shopping day! It’s also a great choice for rainy days since it’s waterproof and fashionable at the same time. This ballet-style shoe is water repellent, breathable, lightweight and bright in colour. The sole is able to absorb moisture to keep my feet dry and comfortable! The inner lining of the shoe is also covered with microfiber to improve comfort while the rebound technology on the outsole creates a lightweight, soft cushion effect when you walk!

Momentanee is a Taiwanese footwear brand founded by a Taiwanese couple who was in pursuit of perfect and comfortable high heels. Made of black suede leather with transparent mesh, the Daisy emphasizes luxury and elegance!

This exquisite pair is a handmade designer shoe for weddings and is great as dress shoes!

The height is just nice in my opinion and I love that it’s lightweight.

I can walk in it the whole day as the mesh allows ventilation and comfort.

BESO Plaid Bowknot is a one to invest in!

The BESO Plaid Bowknot Flat Shoes are suitable for corporate ladies who would like to look chic and professional, but yet, classical and cute at the same time.

The favourite part of this pair is that it has a leather lining and breathable insole to keep my feet dry all day. And the cool thing is that it strengthens arch support. Very value-for-money for a pair like that!

What's more is that the plaid bow and classic small checks give off a simple yet playful attitude, making it easy for me to change out of work attire and into “play attire”. Won't you agree with me on this? ^^

The ASO Sweetie High Heels are suitable for corporate ladies that are in heels the whole day.

And take a look at the outsole, there's patented drainage pattern design to improve grip, thus ensuring that I won't slip and fall even on rainy days.

Hold Live MOISTURISING CRÈME LIPSTICK

I was so happy when I saw this!

To be honest I have like 100 over lipsticks laying around at home BUT MORE IS MORE :D
I love trying different lippies and I definitely adore one that isn't drying.

Super sleek, 5 colours available.

These are the actual colours.
From left to right in sequence!

If I had to choose one, this is my pick! No. 314 :)

Velvety, not drying at all! Definitely the main result why I love it.

Price point is good too. 5 lipsticks for $19,90!? I AM IN!

I have pretty sensitive lips. Tried plenty lipsticks in the past and some were really over-drying. My lip ending up cracking and peeling which was a nightmare.. :(

And the colour doesn't transfer much.

After 2-3 times of wiping off with a makeup remover sheet.
You can visibly still see a little bit of the colour. Love it!
Lipstick can be easily removed if you are using an oil-based makeup remover.

Side note, I'd highly recommend this. Wouldn't go wrong as a gift set to your girl-friends!

Experiencing Nose Thread Lift (Yet again) - Now with a different clinic!

2020-08-03T22:41:00.000+08:00

Hi all! I'm back with yet another update on my nose hahaha!

Here's a silly picture to greet you guys! (notice my CHIO nose already? HAHA)

ANYWAYS~ This time a little different because I've mustered up the courage and went ahead to give nose thread lift a second chance!! And boy, what an awesome decision!! Probably one of the best decision I've made this year okkk!

If you are here for the first time and you are wondering what do I mean by a second chance and why was I so afraid to even do it anyway? (nose thread lift has became so common there's really nothing much to be afraid of, and honestly it's safer than the typical nose fillers)

If you haven't already read, please head over to the link here below and you will know why!: http://blog.myfatpocket.com/joannaspy/2020/01/10/nose-threadlift-nose-fillers-singapore-review-price/

I had so much fun updating you guys on my nose fillers experience previously at Clifford Clinic with Dr Gerard Ee! I was asked lots of qns regarding nose fillers and nose threads. Whether or not it's worth doing? is it painful? how much is it? how long does it last? is the procedure dangerous?

I'm gna try answering some questions over here so read all the way till the end!

It's been 7 months since my nose fillers procedure with Dr Ee at Clifford Clinic.
Doctor did the fillers directly on the bridge of my nose cause I wanted a higher nose bridge.
The effect was really good and I love it! However, it only lasted me for 7 months or so. Not too value for money and there's risk of blindness... Not that I don't trust my doctor, but honestly, it's unpredictable am I right?

However! It was a true dilemma for me.. I actually did my first ever nose thread lift procedure in 2018 with ANOTHER DOCTOR IN ANOTHER CLINIC (CLINIC S L - go figure yourself) and it FAILED big time. Check this out you guys... I'm not even afraid to share this because I can't emphasize on this enough - do your research and select your doctors wisely)

DUDE. All smiley here because I thought this downtime was normal? I WAS WRONG...
I was so upset and so so mad. Why am I so unlucky?

So can you guys understand why I was so afraid to try doing nose thread again? :(

My nose fillers was done so well, and I've seen many other girls' successful nose thread lift done by Dr Gerard Ee so I thought to myself, why not give it another shot and just have faith?

Took this shot before heading out of the house so I can do a comparison of before and after hehe:

This was me in the waiting room while numbing my nose.

My nose looks pretty okay but I really wanted a move defined nose bridge, without broadening my nose tip!

hmm front view looks okay but that's cause we have cheat filters hahaha!

FAST FORWARD, the procedure was really fast. like 15 mins and it's done.
Pain level: 5/10. The only pain I felt was the 4 anesthetic injections.
I can't feel anything during the nose thread insertion, all I felt was a little tugging and pushing in.
So yes, 5/10 for the first 4 jabs on injections.

Immediately after this nose thread! And I knew right away this time round is going to be a successful one. I MEAN! As compared to this duh???

The difference was huge and I knew I was right!

Back home afterwards and everything was okay. Took my antibiotics as prescribed by Dr Ee on time to avoid any infections.

A very unglam pic but I just wanted to show you guys the recovery. This was the first day @ night, my nose looks a little like "avatar" but it's normal. The swelling would be go in a few days.

By the 4th day:

I can now put on my usual makeup! And omooo, my nose was straight, no blue black, no infection! BLESSED!!!

No makeup but I loveeee my nose here. Looking thin and sharp!

AS COMPARED TO PREVIOUSLY (done by another clinic with another doctor)

why is my nose tip so broad? My own original nose is pretty thin and tiny.
Can you imagine waking up with a huge nose tip? idk you tell me.

In conclusion, Doctor Gerard Ee from Clifford Clinic is an amazing skilled doctor! He is the god of nose thread lift I DECLARE HAHA. Thanks alot alot Dr Ee! You have saved me from my misery!!

Quick comparison of before (left) and after (right).
Obviously loving my current nose bridge and the height is just nice, not too exaggerated!

Q N A time~!

1) Is it painful?
It hurts a little during the first 4 anesthetic injections that's all. My pain threshold is pretty low. But I will rate it a 5/10. Honestly not that bad trust me!

2) How long does it last?
It varies differently. From my past experience, nose thread typically can last 1-2 years. Longer than fillers. (plus fillers may spread overtime)

3) Is it worth doing?
YES YES YES! DON'T EVEN NEED TO THINK. JUST DO IT IF YOU HAVE BEEN THINKING FOR AWHILE HAHA.

4) Any downtime?
Honestly I wouldn't say that there is no downtime. It totally varies individually.
For me, my downtime would be say 2-3 days? But I've seen some others with absolutely no downtime, how lucky!

5) Is the procedure dangerous?
It is generally safe and effective with minimal discomfort. No risk of blindness and broadening of nose overtime. The only thing about nose thread lift would be that it's not reversible but it will all be gone in 1-2 years :) So finding the right doctor is important to avoid any mistakes!

6) Where do I recommend?
Obviously Clifford Clinic and Dr Gerard Ee!!
Address: 24 Raffles Place, #01-03 Clifford Centre, Singapore 048621
Phone: 6532 2400

7) How much is it?
It's $1,200 before GST (unlimited threads)

Any other qns?? You can DM me personally on IG @joannaspy and I will try my best to reply :)

Ending this post with a happy me!

Thank you all for reading!

Profhilo- Skin Rejuvenation Treatment for Tired, Ageing Skin

2020-02-08T22:18:00.000+08:00

My Mother is truly convinced by Celebrity Doctor Dr Ee’s professionalism and skills after her eye bag removal treatment.

Ever since her eyebag removal with The Clifford Clinic, she kept paying attention to the new treatments they have. How cute she is! HAHA! More “hiao” than me!

Her main concern now is her droopy skin, especially her cheeks area. She used to have nice apple cheeks when she was much younger :(

As she ages, the natural production of collagen and elastin slows down, and the amount of Hyaluronic Acid (HA) in her skin decreases. It is understandable that this can can cause the skin to lose elasticity and sag, creating the wrinkly appearance typically associated with old age.

Take a look at mommy's face right now:

She did Silhouette Face Thread Lift close to 1.5 years ago and it worked well for my Mom! It has already been a year and the effect of the face thread-lift has gradually lost its effectiveness. You may read more about her face thread lift experience by clicking in!

After consulting Dr. Ee once again, he introduced a new type of treatment called Profhilo® to my Mom.

The innovation of Profhilo® is in its components (or lack thereof): No additional chemical stabilizers were used. It is a 100% pure HA-based product that effectively combats aging and sagging skin.

By stimulating fibroblast cells, Profhilo® increases natural collagen and elastin production in the dermis, ultimately leading to a “bio-remodelling” effect. In addition, the HA complexes can directly provide volume and structure to the face, reducing sagging.

After injection, Profhilo® naturally diffuses across multiple skin layers to improve skin laxity and hydration. Furthermore, natural tissue repair processes are stimulated and acne scars can be reduced. Overall, Profhilo® helps to achieve a more youthful look, similar to the effect of a Silhouette face thread-lift.

Profhilo® comes in pre-filled 2ml syringes. Before injection, the doctor will mark out 5 Bio Aesthetic Points on each side of the patients face, giving a total of 10 points. 0.2ml of Profhilo® is then carefully injected into each of these points. These points are strategically chosen to minimize risks to the facial blood vessels and nerves without compromising efficacy through diffusion.

Dr Ee started the treatment by making injection marks.

This treatment is certainly one of the best anti-aging treatments in the market and should certainly be considered if one is looking to improve their ageing skin!

Main benefits include:

⦁ Firming, tightening and lifting effect on the skin

⦁ Tissue and scarring repair

⦁ Enhanced hydration

⦁ Dewy and plumper-looking complexion

⦁ No downtime and minimal side effects

There may be some minor discomfort during the injection but the treatment is relatively painless. There was minimal downtime after the treatment. Mommy resumed her daily activities as per usual right after the treatment.

A follow-up session is required after month with Dr Ee to check if everything’s alright!

Here’s Mommy after 1 month!!!! The result is mind-blowing! Don’t you agree she looks way muchhhh younger and radiant than before the treatment?

Results can be seen typically after a month and the effect usually last for 6-12 months.

Left before:

Left after:

Right before:

Right after:

Although my Mom has makeup on here, but you can tell the actual lifting effect on the face/cheeks are very apparent! Even her skin tone is much nicer now. Brighter, firmer and fuller!

My mom absolutely loved that there were no visible side effects as the 100% pure HA used was completely harmless.

Anyone who is suitable for standard dermal filler treatment is suitable for Profhilo® as it is safer than most other HA-based treatments for skin aging. However, because everyone unique skin conditions, please consult Dr. Ee to see if you are suitable for the treatment.

My Mom was certainly satisfied with the result! SHE SENT ME THIS SELFIE OF HERSELF WHILE I’M AT HOME AND COMMENTED “NO FILTER, ONLY SUNLIGHT!” HAHAHAHAH!

Big thank you to Dr Gerard Ee once again! We are 2 very happy returning customers! We are not paid or sponsored to say this ok!

The Clifford Clinic is located at 24 Raffles Place #01-03 Clifford Centre Singapore 048621 (Exit A from Raffles MRT)

PHS HAIRSCIENCE® ADV Soothe Range

2020-01-05T22:39:00.000+08:00

Oh god I hope I am not the only one…

Anyone here experience dry scalp that leads to itchiness, tightness on your scalp, redness and even fine powdery flakes (dandruff) when you scratch your head? This is especially apparent when I’ve been out the whole day. If you are not aware of what’s happening already, these are the symptoms of having a sensitive scalp. The humid weather in Singapore does play a major role in affecting our scalps.
But fret not! I’m here to share something amazing with those who are facing similar problems like I do.
Do you know other than the humid weather, products that we use on our hair and scalp are also responsible for causing dryness and sensitivity? Yes, you heard me right. Chemicals like chlorine, colourant and perm lotions can irritate the scalp by disrupting pH levels, preventing the secretion of sebum that keeps the scalp moisturized and protected.
This results in a dehydrated, sensitive and possibly flaky scalp.

Introducing the PHS HAIRSCIENCE® ADV Soothe Range, specially engineered for dry and sensitive scalp.
A short introduction on PHS HAIRSCIENCE®:
PHS HAIRSCIENCE® home care collection has more than 100 SKUs over 14 ranges that cater to a wide array of scalp and hair concerns. Made with the purest botanical essences, products do not contain harmful additives like parabens, mineral oils or benzophenone.
 Bioscience-based components deliver fast results and long-term benefits
 Contains highest, most effective concentration of pure ingredients
 Harnesses the power of Bio-Conversion Plant Stem Cells and Patented Complex 5 Technology

After trying the range, I love the tingly minty sensation from the shampoo and tonic.
The scent is not too overwhelming nor artificial, definitely suits for genders. PHS HAIRSCIENCE products contains plant stem cells which gives off this refreshing fragrance I absolutely adore!

The PHS HAIRSCIENCE ADV Soothe Range helps to calm irritation, prevent inflammation and nourish the scalp back to its healthy, rejuvenated self!

PHS HAIRSCIENCE® ADV Soothe Shampoo 200ml (Retailing at $48).

I start off with this gentle scalp cleanser, it keeps the scalp’s natural protective barrier intact and strengthens the scalp’s natural defence against inflammation. It also helps to calm and relieve irritation. One of the main key ingredients of this shampoo includes rice stem cells, which helps to promote scalp circulation and green tea leaf extract that helps to prevent oxidative damage that causes scalp irritation. I wet my hair and apply the shampoo and gently massage into my scalp and rinse thoroughly before moving onto conditioning my hair.

PHS HAIRSCIENCE® ADV Nutrition Conditioner 200ml (Retailing at $48)
This conditioner is an effective daily hydrator that leaves hair luxuriously soft and silky. It includes botanical stem cells help to reconstruct ruffled hair cuticles, leaving hair smooth and tangle-free. Best thing is that this product is suitable for all hair types. I apply the conditioner onto my damp hair avoiding the scalp after shampooing and left it on for 1-2 minutes before rinsing off thoroughly.

Final step!

PHS HAIRSCIENCE® ADV Soothe Tonic 100ml (Retailing at $108)
This tonic is the star product and it is highly recommended for sensitive scalp. This healing and restorative tonic offers immediate relief to scalp itching, redness or swelling! This tonic contains lotus stem cells which helps to heal and strengthen hair follicles and the Strong antioxidants and anti-microbial properties of rosemary extract helps boost the scalp immune system and prevent irritation that can lead to inflammation.

It’s a leave-on tonic, so I use it daily after showering on my towel-dried hair
I start by sectioning my hair and spray the tonic directly on to the scalp then gently massage my scalp with my fingertips so all the product can be absorbed!
Oh and don’t forget to shake well before using!

Clifford Clinic Singapore - Secret RF & Agnes Non-Surgical Eyebag Removal

2019-05-09T22:37:00.000+08:00

Hello! I’m back with another blog entry!

So the other day, my Mom was just telling me how bothered she was with her left eye-bag and she feels really upset and inferior about it. Whenever she’s out with her friends, people would make a quick remark on it and she would be troubled the entire day!

Since Mother’s Day is here again, I’ve decided to bring my Mom to Clifford Clinic again to consult Dr Gerard Ee on it! Dr Ee has done such an awesome job previously for her face thread lift making her look so much younger (blog link here: http://blog.myfatpocket.com/joannaspy/2018/07/24/clifford-clinic-singapore-silhouette-face-thread-lift/) so she’s both happy and excited!

This is the second time back at Clifford Clinic and my Mom wasn’t doubtful nor afraid at all. I love the level of confidence she has for Dr Ee and Clifford Clinic and knew that she’s in good hands under their care.

So here we are at the clinic! Waiting for her turn for consultation and treatment.

'
Can you see how obvious her eyebag under her left eye is? It’s pretty serious.

Is it just me or she does looks older with that heavy eyebag? :/

Removing her makeup. Look how excited she is here haha!

Consultation with Dr Gerard Ee was straightforward.

He’s quick to point out my Mom’s concern and recommended the most suitable treatment to treat it.

With constant exposure to stress, sleeping late, exposure to computer/mobile devices and even genetics, eyebags can be unavoidable. Needless to mention how aging plays a major part of it as well.

Here you can see that the eyebag on the left eye is more serious and apparent.

There’s 2 treatments Dr Ee will be doing for her, a combination of SECRET RF & AGNES Non-Surgical Eye Bag Removal.

Secret RF is Clifford Clinic’s newest machine and Clifford is the first and only clinic to own this machine. Technology is amazing nowadays my friend. Everything is possible haha.

Injection of anaesthetic jab before the treatment.

Looking professional here Dr! haha 😊

And the procedure starts. The numbing effect of anaesthetic should work so she feels minimal to no discomfort here.

Info: (https://cliffordclinic.com/an-easy-way-to-get-rid-of-eye-bags/)

Secret RF Microneedling uses ultrafine needles that gently puncture your skin to deliver RF energy. As your skin heals from these wounds, your body’s collagen production soars, resulting in firmer, more youthful-looking skin. RF Microneedling is one of the most effective skin-tightening treatments to improve fine lines and wrinkles, especially around the eyes, mouth and cheeks.

Next treatment - AGNES Non-Surgical Eye Bag Removal

Using non-surgical radiofrequency, Agnes is the latest technology that effectively tightens the skin around your eyelids as new collagen is also stimulated into forming during the process. Treatment effectively combat the unsightly bulge hanging under the eye which gives a younger looking appearance with no scars and redness.

Agnes used patented fine micro-needle that emits radio-frequency energy with absolute precision. The complementary characteristics of precision and selective targeting makes Agnes one of the most ideal technologies in treating small and delicate areas such as the eyes.

There’s no risk and downtime is minimal as well!

Optimum results will be seen approximately 1 – 2 months after the Agnes eyebags treatment. Some even see results as quickly as 2 weeks!

The effects of the procedure can last from anywhere between 3 and 5 years.

Occurrence of swelling and bruising is normal for the first 5 days.

This is how the bruising looks right after the treatment.

Day 3. Swelling has subsided a little. She feels no pain at all but just slight tightness.

A week plus after the treatment! OMG she’s starting to look young and good!!! I’m so happy for her!

2 weeks after the treatment. No makeup.

No makeup here again. She looks exactly like this now!

It’s really fascinating how an eyebag can affect a person’s look entirely.

Without it, she looks so much better and younger without a doubt!!

Make up on and ready to head out!

She’s looking so good here! SO MUCH YOUNGER as compared to before.

This is truly incredible!

Thank you Dr Ee once again for addressing my Mom’s concerns and making her happy!

Premium Beetroot Essence - Hao Yi Kang SG

2019-04-05T22:37:00.000+08:00

Lunch meet-up with my camera-shy darling, Min Li, a week back and I can’t even recall how many times we have both harped on the importance of “High Metabolism Rate” over our lunch now that we are feeling the signs of aging criessss! Sigh this is inevitable..
I’m aware of the slower metabolism rate I’m getting/experiencing these days due to exhaustion and easier weight gains. What’s worse, working full-time sitting in the office all day long!

And thus, I have been diligently looking for some sort of supplements that are safe and works effectively against aging!

Featuring my fat tummy…
ANYWAY!
For those who aren’t aware, metabolism is the biochemical process of combining nutrients with oxygen to release the energy our bodies need in order to function.
In short, your resting metabolic rate, also known as RMR, is the number of calories your body burns in order to maintain vital body functions such as heart rate, brain functioning and breathing. It’s not only about losing weight.
The least that we want is to have a low RMR. The causes of low RMR includes aging, hormones change, and weight gain – higher amount of fats stored in body which may result in an overall negative health-being.

After doing some researches online, I’ve came across Lao Xie Zhen Premium Beetroot Essence which has a long history of 80 years in Taiwan and has established itself as a trustworthy brand among customers!

(Hao Yi Kang’s Brand Ambassador, Kate Pang)
And in Singapore, Hao Yi Kang is the exclusive distributor of Lao Xie Zhen Premium Beetroot Essence!

The Premium Beetroot Essence is a well-known nourishment product which helps to promote metabolism, improves digestion and aids in anti-aging! Essence is rich in 3 Premium Plant Polyphenol – which are Beetroot, Figs and Hawthorn which helps to significantly improve skin complexion with the help of natural collagen production within the body!
Can you imagine just how thrilled I was to try them!!
Essence is prepared by a unique extraction method which requires 5 hours of 80C constant temperature to extract the goodness!
General benefit of the ingredients:
Beetroot mainly aids in detoxification and regulation of blood sugar level.
Figs helps to cleanse the body with the digestive function to prevent constipation and aids in weight management and hair growth.
Hawthorn helps to improve cardiac function and improves body circulatory system.

Check out the awesome packaging!
Appropriate as a great gift for any occasions in my honest!

Packed for room temperature storage in a 4-layered opaque sachet exclusively imported from Japan.

Packets are extremely convenient to bring around! I carry one packet to work every day!
I usually carry a small bag, and this fits perfectly~

Like baby bottles, the materials used for the packaging is tested with no plasticizer making it safe to consume directly.

There’s altogether 3 ways to consume the beetroot essence.

1) Drink it directly from the sachet

2) Put the sachet in the fridge before consumption

3) Drink it warm by soaking an unopened sachet in hot water for 3 minutes before consuming

Premium Beetroot Essence is suitable for all ages! Elderly, adult and children are safe to consume product.

A packet daily after meal is recommended.
It can be stored up to 18 months after manufacturing.

ALSO! For those who are not a fan of the earthly beetroot taste, like yours truly! Fret not! This premium essence tastes both sweet and sour, even children love it! It’s 100% natural without any preservatives, additives and colouring.

I can see myself having this Premium Beetroot Essence for a longgg time and I can’t wait to stock up more of it already! *Kia su aunty alert hahaha!*

So if you are keen in trying? I will include some details below for your reference:

Hydra-Quench Series - MEDI-ESTHE

2019-02-03T22:40:00.000+08:00

Hello my dear readers! 😊

Firstly, Happy Chinese New Year! This year of Rat let’s be healthy, happy and HUAT together!

Today, I’m going share my personal review on a set of products from Medi-esthe which I’m sure you will love it! These are the must-have products for skincare lovers.

If you don’t already know, Medi-esthe is the most reliable skincare brand in Singapore. Medi-esthe focuses on developing medical science-based skincare to address our skin concerns such as aging, pigmentation, acne and dehydration!

I’ve been using this set of Hydra-Quench Series for almost 2 weeks before and during Chinese New Year to prep and keep my skin constantly nourished and plumped for a youthful looking complexion. As you know bad dehydrated skin may cause many unwanted skin issues such as itchy, flaky skin..

The weather in Singapore has been extra humid in January, thus it is extremely important to ensure our skin is well-hydrated and protected against the weather and harmful UVA/UVB rays. And our skin is especially exposed to the sun frequently during CNY house visiting.

The star products in this Hydra-Quench Series will be the Pure Hyaluronic Serum and Aqua UV Day Cream (Tinted) SPF 50+/PA++++ which both have newly improved formula!

I’m using these products together with other products in the range to complete my daily skincare regime.

Having said that, let me run through with you my skincare regimen with the Hydra-Quench Series.

1) HYDRA-QUENCH SERIES – MOIST CLEANSING GEL

I love this cleansing gel because it is so gentle on the skin yet hydrating. Since the texture is mild, it is suitable for sensitive skin.

The cleanser is formulated with active botanical-based ingredients include Chamomilla Flower Extract and Hedera Helix (Ivy) Extract which both helps to hydrate and soften skin texture. Most importantly, it helps to cleanse thoroughly without stripping the skin’s natural oil, maintaining the overall skin health. This cleanser is best suited for dry and dehydration skin.

Love the light natural floral fragrance that lingers on after washing my face~

2) HYDRA-QUENCH SERIES – HYDRA BOOSTER

Formulated with powerful antioxidant Green Tea extract and Aloe Vera extract, this ultra-hydrating, triple-action toner has antioxidants properties to help protect and soothe skin.

Green Tea extract is known for protection the skin from damaging effect of free radicals while Aloe Vera extract helps soothe temporary skin irritation.

The best part about this toner is that it is also a soothing mist and makeup setting spray!

Check out the convenient spray nozzle!

I have a bottle at home and another in the office! Super handy I love it! Hydrating the skin with a nice hint of floral scent.

3) HYDRA-QUENCH SERIES – PURE HYALURONIC SERUM (star product*)

Next up, my favourite product in this series! Highly recommended with newly improved formula!

The Pure Hyaluronic Serum is formulated without parabens. It helps to intensively boost skin moisture level; hydrate dehydrated skin, creating brightened, plump and firmed up complexion.

What is so precious in this serum is that it contains Hyaluronic Acid – a super water booster that restores skin hydration, lock in moisture and prevent transepidermal (water loss from skin).

If you do not know, Hyaluronic Acid helps to lock-in moisture within skin to improve smoothness and softness. This is the reason why products containing Hyaluronic Acid is highly sought after by both genders! 😊 Who doesn’t want a youthful radiant looking complexion?! Definitely not me HAHA!

Do you know, injecting dermal fillers means injecting Hyaluronic Acid? The serum helps to achieve similar results if you are not a fan of facial aesthetics.

The texture of the serum is everything that I love!! I genuinely love that the absorption is quick, and my skin feels matte, yet hydrated.

It is ideal as a post-laser serum. As you guys know, I do q-switch laser monthly. This fragrance-free serum is perfect for me!

I usually apply over my face and neck after cleansing and toning before bed and before putting on my makeup/sunblock.

4) AQUA UV DAY CREAM (TINTED) SPF50+/PA+++ (star product*)

Another important product in my daily skin regime!! This is not from the Hydra-Quench Series but this is a product I can’t do without now!

With the new improved formulation, I love that the sunscreen is lightweight and non-greasy at all.

This Aqua UV Day Cream is slight tinted with Sun Protection Factor of 50+ and High UVA Protection (PA++++)

It is important to apply sunblock daily to protect our skin the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays, which come in two forms – UVA and UVB rays. UVA rays are most associated with skin aging; these beams cause fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots that make skin look prematurely older! How scary…

GOOD NEWS! The Aqua UV Day Cream (Tinted) SPF50+/PA++++ comes with dual UV-protection function to protect skin from both UVA and UVB rays!!

The tinted sunscreen contains encapsulated microbeads that expresses color upon contact, giving skin a natural tinted coverage with skin-perfecting glow!

It has moisturizing texture that allows a smooth and flawless glide, ideal for daily use.

The product also acts like a serum with hyaluronic acid that infuses the skin with nutrients from botanical extracts and boost radiance with Vitamin B3. Along with Niacinamide as one of the active ingredients, your skin will be lightened, and pores will be minimized if used in a long run.

I would apply the sunscreen evenly on my face and neck area which requires protection from UV rays. Do remember to cleanse thoroughly with makeup remover at the end of the day before bed~

My Experience with Nose Thread Lift and Nose Fillers

2019-01-10T22:40:00.000+08:00

Hi everyone, I have something I wished to share for a long time. Things have gotten better and I think I am ready to share my experience.

As you all know, I am a very vain girl right? haha. If I am not vain, I wouldn’t have the courage to do any sorts of aesthetics procedure to my face as I have a lower threshold tolerance.

About a year ago, I did my first ever nose thread lift procedure with Clinic S (I shall not name any clinic or Doctor in this post, so let's keep it as Clinic S and Dr C).

I have heard so many positive reviews of Nose Threadlift and I was convinced by Dr C to give it a shot. I was super excited about it. However, my nose thread lift failed.

I do not mean that I was not suitable for the procedure. But the results was so bad that I cried. My nose was in a terrible state for almost a year. It was slanted and it was so obvious in all my videos and on photos. Dr C couldn’t do anything much to salvage the damage even though he was the one who performed the procedure on me.. You can't remove the threads once they are "buried" deep inside".

I was left with no choice but to live with it.. sigh. It was such a tough period for me.

If you guys do not know what Nose Thread lift is, it’s a very common procedure where vain girls like me do it to enhance our nose bridge by making look higher.

A reminder to you guys, please do your research thoroughly before deciding on which clinic and doctor to do your nose thread lift.

Unlike fillers, nose thread lift is irreversible. The only thing you can do when the procedure was done badly is to WAIT! WAIT FOR IT TO DISSOLVE ITSELF 1-2 years later! That’s a long time. Imagine spending money and then making yourself look bad. That sucks.

I was so sad during the period because my nose was slanted and also the bridge looked so fake and thin. I would love to show you how it looked back then, but during that period I was too embarrassed to take pictures then. Sister even gotta cut bangs to cover the flaw…

I went to seek another doctor's opinion. Since my mom saw Dr Gerard Ee from The Clifford Clinic (she paid for her Face Thread Lift there and she even did Profhilo recently), so I went to him instead. He saved me from this disaster. He did radio frequency to make the threads dissolve faster.

I have known Dr Gerard Ee for a long time and I trust him a lot. I was so glad he could help me fix my nose. Although we had to play the waiting game, the threads dissolved bit by bit overtime, and eventually, he managed to help me correct it.

Now that the nose is better now, I went back for another nose treatment.. Instead of Nose Thread Lift (which was recommended by Dr Ee), I prefer to do fillers on my nose bridge instead. The reason is simple, there are still some threads left from my previous nose thread lift at the lower part of my nose. And I must say that I have a phobia with nose threads now.

Can you tell I’m very excited? Numbing my nose for my nose filler treatment in the Clifford clinic!

Dr Ee doing the marking!

Here we go! With the help of the numbing cream, the pain level was 3/10. All it took was 60 - 90 seconds and we were done.
Take a look at my before/after photo from my nose fillers. (Disclaimer: I am not paid to say anything. I love my nose too much now! I need to share it!!!)

Dr Ee added some fillers to the top of the nose. Fillers are made from hyaluronic acid, which is naturally found in the skin. Hyaluronic acid is also responsible for giving the skin a plump, hydrated look.

The nose is still slightly swollen in the picture but it is looking a lot better already!

I LOVE MY NOSE SO SO MUCH NOW!

My nose bright is straight and natural! And obviously, I’m very very VERY VERY happy!

Thank you so much Dr Gerard Ee and The Clifford Clinic!

I have a lot of praises for Dr Gerard Ee. haha. Not trying to be biased but he really did such a great job in correcting my nose. Let's be honest. My slanted nose was difficult to fix but Dr Ee is just so professional and skilled. He assured me that he will be able to fix it slowly. I definitely felt so much better under his care. I will recommend Dr Ee if you are looking at doing nose fillers/ nose thread lift!

And remember, please do your research extremely carefully and ask around for feedbacks before selecting your clinic/doctor 😊

9sInterior Singapore - Best Interior Design Company

2019-01-10T22:36:00.000+08:00

http://9sinterior.com/

One of the major changes in my life in 2018 includes moving into Abel's house permanently!
Nothing new of course. In fact, we have been staying/living together ever since the start (or rather the 1st year of dating) hahaha!
Yes both of our parents are cool about it. There's doubt in the beginning as to whether we can tolerate one another's living habits.
But I guess time tells, we have been together for nearly 7 years and by now, we are stable enough to move on to the next chapter of our lives.

So yes! We made a decision to revamp our room in 2018.
Reason is simple, we both agreed that we WANT a nice bedroom to come back to after a long day at work.
It's a decision that we will never regret making. And to be glad that we have made.
I love the feeling of coming home to a clean nice bedroom space.

We often book hotel for staycation and find ourselves having the similar thought: How nice it would be if our bedroom is like this! So nicely revamped, spacious and minimalist style!
We realized that we appreciate and admire minimalist interior design a lot.

Contacted www.9sinterior.com shortly to express our thoughts to them.
We had only 2 brief meet-ups for discussions and measurements before deciding on the finalized interior designs unanimously.

I honestly love their prompt services and deliveries. Since they are very experience, we went ahead with their advises.
Received the below drafts just within days of discussions: (YAY!)

They looked so realistic I know right! I said YES almost immediately because I can already imagine how pretty this would turn out to be.
It's exactly what I've wanted for the longest time!
Personal dressing table, full white sliding wardrobe, open concept wardrobe spaces to display my bags and a platform bed!
Everything's perfect despite our odd bedroom shape.

Here's how our room looks like before:

We got ourselves a new bedframe previously. Not the prettiest.... haha.

Our very old wardrobe that is already turning yellow. sigh.

Dark blue paint that makes me moody all the time...

Alright, without further ado, the hacking work starts! Which makes me so excited already hehe.

All of these hacking and rewiring happened so quickly. It's all done with 2-3 days.

White walls oh I can't wait!

Can you tell that the bedroom has a irregular shape?

Thankfully, 9sinterior was quick to fix it without any hassle.

They have planned the design in a way that it utilizes the entire bedroom space to make it look spacious.

No more hideous ceiling! Now we can have pretty warm cove lights and false ceilings in the bedroom. Which is the current trend in interior designing. It's sleek, modern and the lights used in the entire room are energy saving.

Installations! So prompt! EXCITEDDDD!

The wait is finally over. The hacking, painting, installations and cleaning took only 2 weeks to complete!
I was truly surprised by how efficient their arrangement of works were! Both Abel and I were at work the whole time and there's rarely anyone at home during the day. But no worries, we were at ease.
9sinterior is always reachable and prompt via Whatsapp. We made all sorts of arrangement through Whatsapp and handed them the house keys to do all the work.

Fast forward to the final result!!!

AFTER:

I couldn't believe my eyes when I first saw this! It's very close to the initial draft and it looks even better now!?

How clean, gorgeous and bright!

The configurations of the wardrobe are nicely done as planned too! Very spacious and user friendly!

Full length mirror which makes the room looks spacious and elegant. We absolutely love it!

Photos taken using my phone. So no photoshop nor editing done to it!

THE LIGHTINGS THOUGH! I love my warm lights a lot! We used them while scrolling our phones before heading to bed!
How romantic right hhaha LOVE IT!!!

My new dressing table and minimalist wardrobe are soooo beautiful!

-
Photos taken just today.

Still beautiful after moving in for months!
Nicely taken care of hehe. It motivates me to vacuum and tidy up the room every week.

Come I show you my ultimate prize possessions hahaha
I need more! I wna collect more bags!!!!

Hellloooo, it's me today.
Check out my display drawers
It's very convenient to store our daily accessories.
I do recommend this design. Imagine having your things properly organised, it is a great feeling.
My earrings at one compartment, bracelets at another, watches at another, lipsticks at another and also my necklaces!

The place I loved the most now :*

Eucerin® Hyaluron-Filler Overnight Treatment + Hyaluron-Filler Skincare Routine – Is it truly a non-invasive alternative?

2018-11-30T22:34:00.000+08:00

Hi guys, it has been awhile!

As the title suggests, you can guess that I will be introducing a new range of skin care products today!
Okay well, I’ve been incorporating Eucerin® ‘s Hyaluron-Filler Skincare range into my daily skincare regime for 2 weeks now! I will be sharing some information together with my review in this blog post so read on.. 😊

How nice is this packaging? Super thrilled to try upon receiving!

Neatly presented~

To be frank, I have never tried Eucerin®’s products before but I did hear of them from time to time from my friends. They are a very well-known dermatological brand that’s proven to be suitable for sensitive skin! I personally have sensitive skin, especially over the recent years as I age. Sigh….! So I’m more than happy to try the products!

For those unfamiliar with the brand, Eucerin® is a trusted dermatological brand with more than 130 years of skin science and skin aging knowledge. It is a brand for sensitive skin and is one of the leading dermo-cosmetic brands in America and Europe, developing a wide range of products for different skin needs.

This new range is pretty interesting to me! Hyaluron-Filler? But non-invasive? How?

Yes! For those who are interested in exploring options such as fillers and botox injection BUT at the same time worried about the potential side effects of these invasive treatment, this is meant for you. It works to plump up your wrinkles and gives you radiant skin without having to source for invasive solutions!

My new-found holy grail!

There are altogether 5 different products in the range which includes Hyaluron-Filler Day Cream with SPF 15, Hyaluron-Filler Night Cream, Hyaluron-Filler Overnight Treatment, Hyaluron Filler Eye Cream with SPF 15 and Hyaluron-Filler Concentrate. They work hand-in-hand to help achieve optimal visible results, but the star product is the Eucerin® Hyaluron-Filler Overnight Treatment, a 2-in-1 moisturiser for radiant and moisturised skin, that has been newly launched this month.

1)Eucerin® Hyaluron-Filler Overnight Treatment
So, question is who should be using this Hyaluron-Filler Overnight Treatment?

(Eucerin® Hyaluron-Filler Overnight Treatment, SGD $84.90, 30ml)

As we age, our skin lacks moisture and this sets the stage for wrinkles, dullness, and other premature signs of aging.. If your primary concerns are lines, wrinkles and dull rough skin, and if you are afraid of going under the needles, I’d recommend you to give this Hyaluron-Filler Overnight Treatment a try! Because it uses the same ingredients by dermatologist daily filler process, the results are highly effective. It responds to the needs of aging skin and can be used to proactively combat the first signs of aging as well as to rejuvenate the skin. Keeping your skin radiant and hydrated is the way to go!

For me, my concerns are more on dull and rough skin since I’ve been putting on makeup to work almost daily, and my skin tends to feel dull and dry after a long day.

The Overnight Treatment has been clinically proven to treat the signs of aging on all skin types, and I love how the packaging is so interesting, with 2 separate chambers of products.

One side with a creamy emulsion:

It consists of AHA Complex, which acts as a chemical exfoliator to exfoliate dead skin cells, and Saponin, which is an active ingredient of natural soy germ extract, which helps to stimulate skin cell renewal.

The other side with a fresh, gel-like serum:

It consists of both Long Chain Hyaluronic Acid (HA) to keep skin moisturised and Short Chain HA (40x smaller molecules) to help penetrate deep into skin to plump up tissue’s volume to reduce wrinkles.

A single pump of this product freshly activates an equal balance of both emulsions, ensuring that each pump is packed with AHA Complex, Saponin and Hyaluronic Acid! Overall, I find that the Hyaluron-Filler Overnight Treatment helps to refine my skin texture – it feels much more moisturised and firmer. Say hello to having rejuvenated radiant smooth skin!

The texture of this serum is extremely lightweight, and as you can see above, it absorbs fully into the skin and is not tacky!

Honestly, I love the texture a lot! However, do note that because it contains AHA ingredient, the product should only be used at night to avoid pigmentation issue.

As you can see, this is my bare face before going to bed haha!
Can you tell the difference?
My skin is much healthier-looking here! This photo was taken after a week of products usage.

I personally can attest to the visible benefits of this product, and I can’t wait to see how my skin looks after using this in the long run. Now I do get why this is a non-invasive alternative!

Let’s move on to other products in this range which are equally awesome~

2)Eucerin® Hyaluron-Filler Day Cream

(Eucerin® Hyaluron-Filler Day Cream, SGD $61.90, 50ml)

Day cream’s texture is light

And it sets well on the skin.

Before applying my makeup for the day!

Further enhanced with SPF 15 and UVA protection, the Hyaluron-Filler Day Cream effectively protects against UV-induced formation of wrinkles during the day – a crucial component especially in our perpetually sunny climate!

3)Eucerin® Hyaluron-Filler Eye Treatment

(Eucerin® Hyaluron-Filler Eye Treatment, SGD $59.90, 15ml)

Eye creams are so precious to me!

Heavy dark eye circles and fine lines have always been my main concern since young. And to find eye creams that aren’t too rich for my undereye is indeed a hard work for me. I’ve tried certain brands before and I ended up getting a lot of bad milia seeds most of the time and I had to stop using them. Glad to have found Eucerin® Hyaluron-Filler Eye Treatment which is suitable for me!

Apply Eucerin Hyaluron-Filler Eye Treatment in the day as it is fortified with SPF 15 and UVA protection to prevent premature aging of skin.

4)Eucerin® Hyaluron-Filler Concentrate

(Eucerin® Hyaluron-Filler Concentrate, SGD $69.00, 6 x 5ml)

The Hyaluron-Filler Concentrate works in perfect synergy with the rest of the range to maximize the delivery of Hyaluronic Acid to the skin and to optimise the effect of daily anti-aging care.

For an added boost of hydration and care, just massage a few drops on the face and you are good to go!

5)Eucerin® Hyaluron-Filler Night Cream

(Eucerin® Hyaluron-Filler Night Cream, SGD $61.90, 50ml)

I love how comprehensive the Eucerin® Hyaluron-Filler range is, and in addition to the Day cream, there’s also another moisturiser for night use which is a tad richer than the day cream to ensure that our skin is properly hydrated.

Even though this night cream was supposed to be heavier than the day cream, it is surprisingly not sticky at all. My skin doesn’t feel overwhelmed by the richness and I feel fine layering this over the Hyaluron-Filler Overnight Treatment, which is absolutely awesome!

Using Hyaluron-Filler Night Cream before bedtime, when skin is at its most restful and receptive state, helps enhance the production of skin’s own hyaluronic acid.

All in all, I’m pleased with the products and I can foresee myself using them for a long time!
My skin feels much radiant and hydrated even after a long day with my full make-up on after work.
Absolutely awesome! ^^

All above mentioned Eucerin® products are available at selected Guardian and Watsons stores!

Happy youthful-looking skin, happy me! ^^

Till then x!

http://blog.myfatpocket.com/joannaspy/2016/09/20/review-oxley-thanksgiving-residence/

Too engrossed in the TV show!

Making full use of the living room for a Instagram worthy OOTD shot! I love it omg!

MY TURN HAHA.

Everywhere in the apartment is IG worthy. Even this simple plain wall here does the job!

Getting all ready for a dinner date with the boy. There's so many restaurants and bars located at Killiney road which is just a 5 minutes' walk away from the apartment.

Korean Glass Skin with Hyaluronic Acid Skin Booster and BB Glow Foundation Serum Facial Treatment Singapore

2018-11-07T22:33:00.001+08:00

Hi everyone, I am very excited to finally try the glass skin facial treatment that I've always heard about! I am sure it is every women’s dream to have Korean-like flawless complexion without putting on heavy makeup.

It is done via micro needling to hydrate the skin with hyaluronic acid.

This treatment was conducted using professional derma pen microneedle device that creates over 40 000 microchannels per min on your skin for rapid absorption of hyaluronic acid into the dermis.

The hyaluronic acid used in the treatment was the Dermedics HA+C (Hyaluronic acid + Vitamin C). Dermedics HA+C is a medical-grade serum used in many clinics and salons. Dermedics uses 50kda Hyaluronic acid in their products which guarantees effective trans-dermal absorption for ultimate repair, hydration and glow. Unlike those normal hyaluronic acid that stays just on top of your skin.

I am glad that there is no numbing needed for this treatment, it was overall painless and relaxing.

Now to the part that I had most anticipated! The secret to Korean glass skin. This was performed using a needless mesotherapy along with the Dermedics BB glow foundation mesowhite serum. Don’t be put off by the word foundation, this is actually a skincare that appears to have a foundation-like effect that covers your pores after the treatment session. I can be certain that after this BB glow treatment, you will definitely attend the glass skin look even without any foundation!

Before

After!

Can you tell the difference before and after the amazing Dermedics BB glow foundation treatment already?

I can honestly feel that my skin is now smoother and silkier with a sheen of glow which is what I've always wanted to achieve via this treatment.
I really like the effect and the whole relaxing facial treatment session as well!

Please beware of imitation of the Dermedics mesowhite BB foundation. It can be harmful for the skin.
Dermedics is the first and original manufacturer of the Mesowhite BB foundation skincare and attains the highest approval standard in Europe.
I will definitely recommend this to my readers!

This is the original Meso serums from Europe with Singapore lion head hologram. Beware of fakes from China and Korea !!

All of Dermedics products are classed as cosmeceutical (medical- grade serum)

Do not purchase fake products as these fake products can put you into serious health risks.

MY Journey with Astique Clinic - Dr Ng Hong Yi

2018-10-19T22:32:00.000+08:00

Almost 2 years with Dr Ng Hong Yi from Astique Clinic Singapore! Been doing Dual Yellow Brightening Laser, fillers and botox with Dr Ng. Till date, I can firmly say that I’m extremely pleased with the services judging by the results.

I’ve been getting this a lot! “Joanna, what makeup and skincare you’re using? Your skin is so smooth and fair!”

And my answer to them would be, “Go try Dual Yellow Brightening Laser at Astique Clinic and be sure to look for Dr Ng Hong Yi! He has been doing my treatment every month for the past 1 year and my skin has shown great improvement even without makeup. I no longer looked like a pale ghost anymore haha!”

And no, it is not harmful to do the laser treatment every month. You can trust me on this.

Here’s an example of how awesome Dual Yellow Laser can be!

That little pimple on my forehead. It is visible despite covering my concealer.

After removing my face’s makeup and concealer. Little red bumps can be seen. It’s more obvious in real life. I usually got them just before my period. Super annoying grr.

And this was 2 days later, with light face makeup on.

Natural glow and smooth skin is the best isn’t it! And my skin can now “breathe” with thinner foundation haha.

This was what Dr Ng Hong Yi has promised at the beginning of the treatment and true enough, I no longer need heavy makeup anymore with the help of Dual Yellow Laser.

Acne-free face please!

I have always been doing my fillers under the care of Dr Ng at Astique.

At ease each time hehe.

Numbing cream helps! I rate the pain of needle pricks 2/10. My pain tolerance is relatively low though. But this is bearable.

You should know that it is very important to find a reliable aesthetics doctor with lots of experience.

I’d recommend DR NG HONG YI FROM ASTIQUE!

HAHAHA I kept emphasizing but he’s really good please! He is also very friendly, nice and patient. Couldn’t ask for a better doctor!

Chin and nose fillers done! I’m definitely happy with the results!

Just a photo posted on my Instagram!

Full of confidence this gurlll right hereee ahhaha!
Fillers looking sharp, face looking radiant as ever! No I’m not shameful to say HEHE
