Bossini X Toy Story

Advertorial

Something exciting is happening! Toy Story Land is opening in Hong Kong Disneyland!! Now I want to go there again - I love the Toy Story movies so much!

The excitement has spread to Singapore and Bossini has collaborated with Disney to bring us super adorable Toy Story apparel. :D

The Cantonese dub for Jessie the cowgirl in the Hong Kong version of Toy Story, Joey Yung 容祖兒, is fronting the campaign.

Bossini X Toy Story collection will be launched on the 25th of November at all Bossini stores in Singapore - and prices range from $16 to $159. Both adults and children will be able to enjoy the collection!

Here are some of the clothes + awesome collectibles:

Alien hooded fleece shirt dress

I'm gonna spend my December in wintry Texas so this is just perfect! Love the silly alien details and the furry hood + cuffs. It's comfy and the cowboy theme is so cute!

Jessie felt print hoodie tunic

Jessie is one of my favourite characters in Toy Story! She's always so chipper and brave and loyal to her friends... Plus she and Spanish Buzz are just so adorable together! I like how the hood area is sort of special, makes it look like I'm wearing a cape.

The hot pink tunic (long enough as a dress for me) totally matches my Lotso huggin' bear (Bossini gave this to me as a pressie, it's not available for sale in their stores) and my pink hair!

And he smells like strawberries! ♥

Me wearing the Oversized Pullover with Muffler

A super unique piece! Only 20 are available for sale in Singapore. *feels special*

The pullover comes with a detachable muffler in the style of Jessie's trademark braid!! So cute it even comes with a giant ribbon. :D

Here's ambassador Joey in a chic limited edition Alien Dress. The ears are pockets!

20 pieces available islandwide so collectors best hurry! Limited edition pieces only available at the Takashimaya and Bugis Junction branch.

The fun doesn't just stop here... Children also have their share:

I love this Jessie Tee for little girls.

Love Love More

Advertorial

I've got good news for girls who want to make their skin as soft and as luscious as can be!


Remember my previous advertorial for Love More?

Now they have sent me MORE awesome skincare products to try! Skincare junkies rejoice!

The Love More Aqua Moisturising Series:

These are all featured and recommended on popular Taiwanese beauty show 女人我最大!

As the name suggests, the uniqueness of the Love More Aqua Moisturizing Series is moisture, moisture, moisture!

The result? Flawless transparent skin + 100% moisturized skin + sebum balance.

Keeping skin moisturized is super important especially when a lot of us spend most of our day in the aircon!! When skin is dried out, you not only get wrinkles and age faster, your skin also turns oily which can lead to acne.




Step 1: Love More 24hr moisturizing Aqua Pump

Also known as the toner! (In picture, the tallest bottle)

Most toners in the market don't bother much with moisture level but the Aqua Pump does! The texture is watery and not drying like most other toners and with the extra moisturising effect, your subsequent skincare products can maximize their benefits.

And I love it because it smells so awesome, like fresh cold cucumber + lilies! :D

Plus the design comes in a pump, which is super convenient.



Step 2: Love More 24hr Moisturizing Aqua Serum

Here's the texture of the serum!!

The Aqua Serum comes with patented AQUAFILL and professional whitening compound with 3 times more concentration than the traditional essence. Even using a small amount can achieve long term retaining of moisture in the skin, and keep the innermost layer of the skin quenched with moisture!


Step 3: Love More Aqua Masks

Blue: Love More Aqua Cucumber Extract and Ceramide Moisturising Mask

Pink: Love More Aqua Damascus Rose and Arbutin Whitening Mask

I love both these masks!!!!!

Both the masks contain awesome ingredients.

The blue Moisturising Mask has cucumber extract, ceramide and oligomer, helping to do advanced moisturizing for your skin.

The pink Whitening Mask, which I LOVE because it smells like my favourite roses, contain Rose damascena flower, Alpha arbutin, camomilla recutita and Malachite Extract. I know most of those things sound foreign but they are all good!!

Helps to whiten skin, making it noticeably smoother and softer!

I don't know if you noticed from the picture but the special thing about these masks is how tightly they are sticking to my skin! Usually the material for masks is a little thicker and I feel they leave a distance between my skin and the mask but for the Aqua masks they are designed to fit perfectly with a special natural silk cotton.

It fits the skin tightly without leaving any space which means it is able to moisturize skin more effectively. :D When peeling out the mask I even accidentally tore it. It's super delicate!

After using the masks I really felt my skin become instantly baby soft, fairer, and brighter!

(Yes I'm putting the mask with makeup on. It's for DEMOSTRATIVE purposes ok!)

Step 4: Love More 24hr Moisturizing Aqua Brulee

Love this moisturiser!

Water based which means it isn't sticky and oily after application. Smells fantastic so you can climb into bed with your partner and know you smell awesome.

The Aqua Brulee is ultra moisturizing, providing moisture to all layers of the skin. If sleeping with the air con has dulled your skin, it's time to give this a try!

Besides the Aqua series they also gave me some other products and I love this:

Sexy Look Strawberry Black Head Pore Set!

If you recalled in my previous advert I had the kiwi version of this and now they came up with STRAWBERRY!!

Love, love, love this because not only do you get rid of blackheads, it is also super fun to peel off the mask... and the smell is just so... DELICIOUS!!!!!!!! ♥

The whole time the mask is on your face so you just keep smelling the strawberries. How awesome!! Mike kissed me on the nose after I did the mask and I asked "What do I smell like?" He said, "Strawberries!! WHY?? Why do you smell like strawberries?"

LOL


And are you ready for cuteness??

A freaking HELLO KITTY MASK!!

Hot pink: Sexy Look Moisturising and Whitening Rose Mask

Baby pink: Sexy Look Hyaluronic Acid Whitening and Moisturising Mask

So cute right?? Perfect for traveling or sleepovers with girlfriends!

AND MORE!!!!!

CAN YOU SAY KAWAII??

And wait, these 3 Hello Kitty masks are special! They are 3D masks which means they have hooks for your ears! The end result is a mask super tight around your face and under your neck, giving a lifting effect.

White: Sexy Look Brightening and Firming White Rose Double Lifting Mask

SMELLS LIKE ROSES!!!

Purple: Sexy Look Moisturising Sensitive Amethyst Double Lifting Mask

SMELLS LIKE RED WINE AND GRAPE!!

Pink: Sexy Look Ultra Moisturizing Pink Sakura Double Lifting Mask

SMELLS LIKE SAKURA AND STRAWBERRIES!! *faints*

Camqueen of the Year Crowned

Advertorial

Don't know if you guys saw this advert I did for the CamQueen of the Year contest?

Now the contest is finally over and can I say WOW???????

It was definitely a smash hit among Singaporean youth!! The contest generated 4.5 MILLION page views and 400,000 votes cast via facebook!!

CLICK HERE FOR THE CAMQUEEN WEBSITE

Of course, it was a very interesting contest where contestants were urged to send in a photo of themselves before and after a makeover, so everyone was trying to prove that they can doll themselves up the best. And I must say among the contestants were many brave souls who put up their photos at... erm, well not their best. All for the prize of $5,000!

After a super fierce competition, the final winner was crowned *drumroll*:

And she is Tammy Tay!!

In case you are wondering why there's only one photo and the "after" is mysteriously replaced by bottles of Vitamin Orange/Lemon, it is not coz after her makeover Tammy looks like that. It's coz it's a...

TWIST!!!

Surprise! The contest was not judged by how drastically different your makeover made you look, but by your "before" photo. Yes, proving people can look beautiful even in their bare skin.

Like me with no makeup muahaha OK lah fine I did use some photoshopping.

Of course, health is the foundation of all beauty, and you can't be beautiful without being healthy!

Which is why Tammy was chosen, coz her glow and bright eyes say good health :)

Yes I love my make up and all my fake things ie false eyelashes and implants etc, but I also believe that having great skin (and teeth and hair actually) is the most basic rule to looking beautiful.

If you want glowy bright skin - Vitamin C is super vital.

Which can be sought from You c1000 vitamin C drinks!

The powerful little bottles contain a whooping 1000mg of vitamin C each, which your body desperately needs to produce collagen, fight signs of aging, stronger bones and teeth etc. Hiyah the health benefits of Vitamin C is super a lot lah can't be bothered to list them all out. It's awesome that's all!

The worst thing is our body does not retain or produce Vitamin C, which means you need to ingest appropriate amounts of it everyday!

And the easiest (and yummiest) way to to drink loads of You c1000. :D

When I was sick recently I drank like seriously 7 bottles in a day. Helped me recover fast! It's your best friend when you are beginning to fall sick I tell you.

Remember to get your Vitamin C for today!

www.youc1000.com

Wow I'm addicted to the game on the website -_- ... Oh and also, You c1000 will be launching a new APPLE flavour soon!!

I'm excited to try!

CamQueen of the Year

Advertorial

Hello!!!


I love camwhoring! Why not? Only young once so much take more, more, more photos! And if those photos are chio it's a great way to get attention online! After our online personality is more and more important nowadays so it's smart to put your best face forward :D

Obviously make up is a super important element in snapping super chio photos so today I'm gonna show ya all how I put on make up!

If you think it's excessive or whatever please, click this page away. You may not appreciate it but other people might, so why spoil the fun for others? It's like going to some vegetarian recipe webpage and posting "EWWW WHY NO MEAT ONE IT'S SO GROSS MOCK MEAT IS JUST FLOUR YOU ARE AN IDIOT OF A CHEF PLEASE POST A REAL RECIPE NEXT TIME."

Like what's your point? You wanna see meat recipes? Go to a relevant webpage. You wanna see simple, natural make up? THIS IS NOT THE URL FOR IT.

Back to the topic: I think the last time I did a make up post was back in 2005... Super long ago.

So this is my "no make-up" picture.

Fresh after a bath. As explained in the photo, I couldn't remove my lash extensions... And obviously it's photoshopped... But hey, I left my moles on!

Step 1: PUT IN CONTACTS! Uber important, do not neglect this step!

Step 2 is to apply 2-way cake foundation! I've been using ZA's foundation all my life. Another great brand is Revlon's colorstay liquid foundation with SoftFlex technology... Because of its LONGEVITY! It really really won't come off for the whole day! However, the colours are not that nice so I apply ZA on top of it.

Notice I put foundation on my lips. This is to conceal any inconsistency in lip colour before I apply lipstick. Important also!!

After drawing brows and putting on Bronzer!!

My brow pencil is dunno what brand from Japan and my bronzer is from Victoria's secret.

I'm in love with bronzer recently! It really gives you a healthy glow!

And I used my eyebrow pencil to shade my nose bridge also!

Sorry there are no photos of me actually doing the make up coz it's very hard to snap yourself doing make up... You ownself imagine lah hor.

This is after eye make up...

White highlighter eyeshadow all over, brown eyeshadow to enhance the double eyelids, and a thin line of liquid brown eyeliner (mine is $4.90 from Aries) to line the eyes.

At this point you make apply falsies if you don't have extensions like me.

Also, stuck on lower lashes, and put some MAC glitter on the inner eye corners! :D

And here's what I meant by brown eyeshadow to exhance the double eyelids.

After blusher, lipstick + gloss and a hair bow! Tadah!!

For blusher any pink toned blusher will do. Lipstick: Mac's "Honeylove" as a base, Chanel hot pink gloss on top.

More camwhoring shots!

LOL...

Wondering why I'm posting all these make up tips? Coz I'm very NICE ok! I'm trying to help you WIN AN AWESOME CONTEST!!!

The CamQueen of the Year contest!!

Very simple one!! Participants just need to create a profile and upload two photos of themselves... One BEFORE photo and one AFTER photo!!

Before and after what? Make up, of course!

Just to illustrate, here's a video of one of the contestants...



Erm... She is quite... unique. But don't worry you don't need to take video, photo can already!

And the prizes... Oh so generous!

CamQueen of the Year will win $5,000!!!!

This will be chosen by a panel of judges.

There will another prize of $1,000 for the People's Choice Award... For the babe who manages to get the most people to "like" their picture!!


But of course, somebody generous must be sponsoring the prizes right!!? And that someone is YOU.C1000!!

I'm sure you have seen You.c1000 drinks in our local supermarket/convenience stores before. I love it! Even though it's in a smallish bottle, it is SUPER GAO (I have no idea how to translate this I suppose the closest is 'thick) and very very fizzy and the strong lemony flavour immediately perks you up!

And not only is it yummy, most importantly of all it's chockful of Vitamin C!! 1000mg in the bottle!

I suppose that's why it's called "C" 1000... Just in case you don't know how much vitamin C that is, our recommended intake of Vitamin C per day is 250mg to 4,000mg! Your body doesn't manufacture or store excess Vitamin C, so obviously it's better to get more Vitamin C goodness daily! And I've been reading reviews and loads of people said they felt better after drinking this when they are ill. :)

Plus Vitamin C is totally anti-aging!! Super important for me!!

Also comes in orange flavour and bigger bottles of isotonic drinks!

So back to the topic:

JOIN NOW!!

CamQueen of the Year!

Good luck!!

p/s: There are already 350 participants before I even posted this blog entry... Wah it's getting so much traction!! Even got well-known bloggers taking part! Some of the before and after shots have really drastic differences so you can just go look-see even if you don't wanna take part. Very interesting!

Rice is the New Potato

Advertorial

I'm a night owl, so I normally wake up between 3-5pm. Then I'd wait for Mike to come home, and we'd go eat his dinner and my lunch (I skip breakfast).

Then every night, at about say 2am, I'd start to feel hungry again.

But more often than not, THERE IS NO FOOD AT HOME!! Well either no food or I'm too lazy to cook whatever is in the fridge.

And I'd start to do crazy things when I'm delirious with hunger.

For example...

Open and close the fridge door despite being disappointed 1,670 times.
The only thing that grew in the fridge is probably mold.

I'm sure many of you do this!!!

Then I'd try to convince myself that I'm not feeling hungry at all. And that the pangs and salivating just means I'm like cold or something.

Then, subconsciously, I'd start biting my nails.

I think that's coz my body thinks that eating bits of dead skin is better than eating nothing at all.

Unbeknownst to my body I'm actually eating bits of French gel, so that shouldn't be good at all.

Still I'd be hungry, so I'd try extreme methods to curb my hunger:

No, it doesn't work. Still hungry! Roar!!

Method 2: Distract myself by doing small-talk with myself




Ok that doesn't work either.

Method 3: Distract myself by pretending I'm a movie star



And belting out relevant soundtracks. AND ALL THAT JAZZ!!

I bet Catherine Zeta Jones never feels hungry!!

After a while more I'd start contemplating eating everything.

For example, would this stuffed rabbit taste nice sauteed lightly with butter and asparagus? Would about this boot? Maybe it would be ok-tasting if I boil it with some chicken stock.

After a while I'd realise that these household objects will not be yummy.

Then I would....

BITE MIKE!!!!!!!!!!

FHL hahahha!! But yummy as he is, he doesn't satisfy hungry coz my teeth are not sharp enough to eat him. How do cannibals do it??


But not to fret... Now I have a new and mega easy HUNGER SOLUTION!!!


Presenting...

Brand new Rice Crisps by Mister Potato!!

Made with a secret combination of potatoes and rice for a light crispy snack that will satisfy any hunger cravings!

YUMMEH!!

Being Asian, I obviously LOVE rice. And now I can haz rice with my potato chips, making it even healthier!

I was totally surprised when I bit into the chip... It tastes almost exactly like normal potato chips but just that little something is different. Like the aftertaste is sweeter or stronger or something. My favourite is the Sour Cream and Onion!!

Actually I got given 4 canisters of these chips but within 2 days 2 cans are finished already by my friends who came over for mahjong -_- They said it's really nice.

But it's ok to munch on these chips, coz the Rice Crisps have/are:

No Added MSG

No artificial colouring

Cholestrol and trans fat free

20% less fat than conventional fried potato chips yet taste just as delicious

First of its kind in Singapore

And an awesome alternative to other snacks!

Comes in four flavours too!!

And even can eat it on the go since it comes with these handy aluminium canisters. :D
