[Advertorial Post] Sephora Online X Luxola Rebranded

Happy New Year and Happy Valentine's Day everyone! (っ＾▿＾)۶٩(˘◡˘ )

I hope you guys enjoyed your holidays!❤（っ＾▿＾）

I am back here with some latest good news to share! I am sure you guys are aware that I am pretty much into beauty products. And I usually buy them at Sephora retail store for convenience due to the wide range of brands they have and many easy-to-access Sephora retail outlets.

This time, I am so glad to tell you guys that Sephora Singapore is now online at Sephora.sg and Luxola has been rebranded to Sephora.sg!  Now I don't have to go all the way to their retail outlets when I am too busy and it makes it more convenient for me to purchase my beauty products online.

However, do take note that not all brands/products are available in stores. But just keep checking back, it might just be available online for purchase one day~ ;)) For now, majority of the brands are available for purchase online! And there are some brands that are exclusively available online (not found in stores), such as Alpha H.

Recently, they sent me a huge beauty box full of goodness! I really can't wait to open them up and try! After all these busy work days, I finally have time to open them up 1 by 1 and slowly look through the beauty products I've received. I am sure everybody love new stuff! ;))

There are brands like:

Nudestix, Marc Jacobs, Winky Lux, Laqa & Co, Balance Me, Alpha-H, Thisworks, Benefit, Mirenesse and Sephora! ☜(ˆ▿ˆc)

With so many new products to try, experiment and play with I decided to do something fun! I will challenge myself to use some of the beauty products to create a face of the day. ᕙ(`▿´)ᕗ It's not easy to change your regular make up products all of a sudden because everything feels so new and colours are so different too.

ʕ•́ᴥ•̀ʔっOh, I forgot to add in that, I have to do them within 20 mins (my usual morning make up routine time frame excluding prepping of face), because I am rushing for my shows right after this. Which means I don't have the time to think much about how I want to do it. lol.

So I decided to use all Marc Jacobs make up products to complete my FOTD (face of the day).

Sorry if you decided to spot some powder here and there on the palette, because I took the picture only after I finished using them for my make up. How silly of me right. ( ◡́.◡̀)
I even attempted to clean it away, but I made it worse. HAHAHA! (─‿‿─)

 STYLE EYE-CON NO.3$59

PLUSH EYESHADOW (THE SHOE GAZER)

The style eyecon No.3 plush eyeshadow have this shimmery metallics effect especially the gold and blue color. The colours are great, and highly pigmented. I can clearly see the colour right after applying on my eyelids. 1 or 2 times application will do. After a whole day of stage performances, it doesn't fade away or crease much even though I perspired. However, I will prefer it to be slightly creamier instead of powdery so that it will look less crispy on my eyelids. This set of colours are definitely quite a challenge because of the blue. Instead of using it for the brow bone highlight, I decided to used it at the inner part of my eyelid nearest to the tears duct for a lighter and brighter look. The packaging is travel friendly and the design is super classy as well! (✿◠‿◠)

 SHAMELESS BLUSH$56

BOLD POWDER BLUSH (TANTALIZING)

The shameless bold blush really lives up to it's name. The colour I have received is way more darker, mysterious, sexy, loud and mature as compared to my regular light baby pink colour blush. It also has high colour pigments and it's creamy enough to create a nice looking texture on the cheek. With just one time application is enough, the colour is super obvious. It really save me a lot of time! I don't have to keep applying just to get the colour out on my rather pale cheek.



Just like their Style Eye-Con No.3 Eyeshadow, the packaging for Shameless bold blush is equally travel friendly and the design is super classy as well! (ɔ◔‿◔)ɔ ♥

Next up! Marc Jacobs' Lipgloss!

enamored$39

hi-shine lip lacquer (hey you)

I would say this is by far one of the best lipgloss because it's thick, smooth, moisturising and rich in color. Somehow it feels super comfortable on my lips. It is a really glossy and shiny gloss, in a non-sticky way. The color is also just right and pretty much flexible with a majority of make up looks. One application is good enough. Oh! Did I not mention that it also makes your lips look a little poutier (⊙.⊙(☉̃ₒ☉)⊙.⊙). I am sure it is not an illusion.

I am also using Sephora’s make up brushes which came with all the amazing beauty products!

The make up brushes I have with me are:

- PRO Angled contour (Blush Contouring #75)

-PRO shadow #14

- PRO Winged liner (Eyeliner) #37

- PRO Ultra-liquid foundation #83

I used Sephora's Pro Shadow #14 to apply the eye shadows and Sephora's Pro Angled contour (blush contouring) #75 for my cheeks!

The short synthetic hairs of the brushes feels really soft on my skin and it helps to blend in the make up really well. The hairs of the brushes are also densely packed and helps give a flawless finished look. Brushes are not heavy as well! I am sure you know how tiring it can get holding the brushes after a period of time. ;)

The above is a pictures of the brushes with the cap still on. I am pretty much sure that it is to protect the brush from wear and tear. It also helps to keep the brushes clean! It is very important to have clean brushes at all time so I am really thankful for these caps because now I can bring it out in my bag without worrying that the brushes might get damaged! 

However, I do have to say that when I started opening up these brushes, they had plastic vacuum-sealed around each of the caps and it took me really long to peel them of. But on a second thought, actually it just means that the brushes are really well taken care of from any damaged. So good job Sephora!

Last but not least, the part that also surprised me is that the make up brushes are all engraved with my name! It makes me feel extra special and that these awesome brushes only belongs to me now. MUHAHAHA!

Thank you Sephora! 

So after applying Marc Jacobs beauty products, here is the final look!

Bringing my make up out for work is no longer that inconvenient now because of make up products like Nudestix pencils which had everything in one "pencil case". Lip + cheek pencil crayon of 2 different colours (Whisper & Mystic), pencil sharpener and mirror on the case cover!

I probably can touch up my make up in the MRT as well with simple to use make up products like Nudestix.

And when I have time again, I want to try out Mirenesse's make up products!

Look at the unique colour they have for eyeliner crayon pencil, masacara and lip rouge! Their packaging & design is definitely attractive and catches my interest! I like how they attached the mini sharpener at the top of the eyeliner crayon pencil. So cute. HAHAHA!

Oh! And you see thisworks product in the picture below as well. It says, in transit muscle therapy.

I think I definitely need it because my whole body is literally aching like an old woman. LOL. By the way, it's roll on application, quite cool in my opinion because I have never use roll on before. HAHAHA! It's good because I don't need to get my hands all messed up with oily cream.

Last but not least, I believe prepping of face and looking after your face are very important to allow make up to better absorb and stay on your face. I am looking forward in trying out Alpha-H Liquid Gold and Balance Me Collagen Boost face cream soon.

I have read that Alpha-H Liquid Gold has natural ingredients in it which work like an overnight facial to revitalise tired, ageing skin, and radically improve the skin’s complexion. I usually don't have any time for a good facial mask session, so Alpha-H Liquid Gold will be a very good alternative for busy people like me.

Honestly speaking, I am still on the look out for suitable moisturising face cream after so many years of my life. lol. So, I am also going to try Balance Me Collagen Boost face cream once my old ones are done because apparently Balance Me face cream promotes natural collagen productions and many other benefits:

-Reduces fine lines
-Prevents signs of premature ageing
-Hydrates dry skin
-Soothes sensitive skin

I seldom hear moisturising face cream can promote natural collagen production. Sephora has definitely help introduced me to more beauty products which I didn't know of before. And I want to thank Sephora.sg for sending me so many awesome & interesting beauty products! 

Do remember to check them out at their online store now!

Till then, talk to you guys again soon!

Review: Bellezza Aesthetics

The last time I went for a facial treatment was about a year ago, to treat the outbreak of pimples on my face. It was a success and a good experience, but I definitely don't want to experience it again.

It was a period of hell, a period of low self-esteem because of how ugly I think I looked with those pimples on my face.  So thankfully, I'm offered a sponsorship that period of time to help fight these acnes. 

Today, I am back with a review of another beauty salon known as Bellezza Aesthetics.

Bellezza Aesthetics is a place that provides beauty treatments for face, eyes and body.

According to what the beautician told me, they use a lot of high technology machines and equipments to help achieve better results.

It wasn't hard to find the place, it's just less than 5 minutes walk from Tanjong Pagar MRT.

It is really convenient for most working adults too as it is very near the CBD area.

Before the treatment, I was brought to this small little cosy room with a really beautiful diamond sofa. The calming ambience of the room and the attention to detail such as serving a glass of cold fruit punch and cold yogurt, had me a little surprise. It definitely helped kickstart a really good impression for a first visit to Bellezza Aesthetics.

Well, who doesn’t love receiving something extra right?

 It was raining and with that injured right ankle, I really did used quite a bit of energy to make my way here. So I am really glad, I had the chance to get comfortable before the treatment. It's thoughtful of them to allow us some time to pace ourselves before proceeding on to the treatment. 

The most unexpected part is that, warm towel was given as well just like what I had experienced when I am on an international flight or a well-known airline where service are top-notch. There was no rushing at all as I sat in the room taking my time to finish the drink and yogurt. I stayed in the room for quite a while and soon I started realising that maybe I'm taking a little too long so I decided to speed myself up. HAHAHA! 

They have indeed succeeded in making me feel very comfortable and welcome. 

Before deciding on the type of treatment for me, the beautician had a short conversation with me to better understand what treatment I need. It is really a short one like maybe a minute or two because I kind of know what I wanted. 

I mentioned about the seriousness of my dark eye circles to the beautician, so I expected her to introduce some sort of a treatment solely for the eyes. Well she mentioned that they do have different treatments for problems like mine and I was really relieved to hear that as everyone else told me that there's no cure to dark circles. 

Upon entering the treatment room, I was told that different rooms were given different names according to the theme of the room. It's really cool because the theme of my treatment room is Autumn and it's really beautiful.

I had to also mention that their aroma in their room smells really good and help me feel relaxed.

I love it when the beautician didn't come and disturb me as I took my own sweet time in the treatment room; changing to my gown and enjoying the beauty of the room alone.

I did the Skin resurfacing treatment that lasted for about an hour.

Here's a little about the treatment:

• Mineral sea salt skin resurfacing is a non-invasive safe treatment to takes years off your complexion by gently exfoliating the outer layers of skin. 
• Immediate and visible results for lines and wrinkles, open pores, blackheads, pigmentation, blemish and acnes scars and stretch marks. 
• The gentle vacuum action gives the facial muscles a mini workout each time, providing an immediate lifting effect and an ongoing improvement in tone. 
• With regular treatments, achieving the desirable effects of smoother, fairer skin texture and a new glowing radiance to your skin.

The beauticians are skilful, friendly and attentive to my needs. My beautician is aware how much I didn't like extractions to be done on my face and she didn't force it on me. I am thankful because some beautician from other place will keep manipulating you and persuading you to do extraction even if you hate it to the max. I dislike extractions because I had bad experience several times and I am just really afraid of pain!

So my beautician only did a few extraction which pretty much feels okay for me. However she did advised the need for further extraction because I have a very prone-to-clogging skin. -WHYYY-

 

I enjoyed the face massage a lot and I wish I had my own personal face masseur at that moment. lol.

Ohhh please don't stop! 

Unfortunately, all good things come to an end, the facial treatment had to come to an end too. 

I was greeted with a pretty cup of warm tea and snacks back at the quiet cosy room after a long facial treatment.  This is exactly what I need to warm myself up! 

As usual, I took my own sweet time in the room, enjoying myself and taking pictures.

My skin felt clean after the session. My face looks so much fairer and feels smoother too! Most importantly, my dark eye circles becomes lighter in color.

All details are well taken care of too; from the nice luxurious furnishings to the nice warm towels you get with your drinks and snacks before and after the treatment.

Bellezza Aesthetics, definitely provides one of the best service around town. My first experience with them during the facial treatment is a good one and I really enjoyed my time there. The beauticians are not pushy and will only recommend treatments if you enquire about them and if only they think it's suitable for your complexion. They don't rush you to get in the treatment room and out of their place as well.

Good service is one of the most important aspects when it comes to topic like skin treatments and health issues. So if you don't like pushy and overly sales oriented beauticians, you may want to head over to Bellezza Aesthetics to try them out.

Feel free to quote my name "EVALEE" to get your first trial (Award-winning Timeless Radiance Customized Facial worth $268) with them at only $18.

050515 - Exclusive Rouge Party (BOURJOIS Paris)

Hello people!

I haven't had time to update my blog.

But any way, on Tuesday, I went to the launch of the new Aqua Laque Collections held at Ô Comptoir after my part time work.

I was hoping to see many familiar faces so I won't feel awkward hahaha!

Yes, indeed I saw a few people I know and that makes me feel less socially awkward ;).

There were games station, nail manicure, great food and drinks to keep us entertain for the night.

You may check out my Instagram @EvaleeQX for more pictures regarding the event.

Here's a picture grabbed from Audrey on Facebook!

These are the goodies kindly given to us after event.

There are also macaroons but I ate it already.

The Macarons from Macarons.sg are super delicious and not too sweet which is really good because I don't like feeling like I am eating sugars. heh~
