Ship Ahoy: Sephora Beauty Voyage!

Hello folks!!

Taking a break from my travelogues and sharing some photos from last Friday's Sephora Beauty Voyage organised by the good folks at Sephora: it's my honour and pleasure to set sail aboard with Sephora! No one says no to yacht party invite!!! Right?! Not me lah. Cos seriously when else do I have the chance to sit on a yacht and pretend to be super atas and expensive? Hardly ever.

I always love a well-executed event/campaign, and this month is Sephora's Skin Rescue campaign where Sephora seeks to provide #SkinstantGratification to get gorgeous skin in a jiffy, with awesome beauty products like efficacious peels, cleansing gadgets, makeup removers and masks for instant gratification!

You ought to pop by Sephora cos it's always like a beauty wonderland for me with SO many of my favourite brands available at Sephora. I love wandering the aisles just looking at/testing the products :D (Favourite outlet is Sephora ION, of course) ..This is not a sponsored post or a paid ad!

Aboard Sephora Beauty Voyage we go.. It was super cool cos the team did up a huge yacht specially for the party, with different rooms and areas for different brands and pampering treatments!There were facial rooms, makeup stations, hand pampering sessions and all. Not to mention a bar on the top deck with drinks and Popsicles!! Living it up on a Friday hehe!

We were all given a pair of nice, fluffy, bedroom slippers awww!

And when on a yacht... Take more chio pictures!!

That being said, I was REALLY enjoying the sea breeze (despite how it was messing up my hair) and looking at the expanse of waters. There is just something very calming about the sea.

With sweethearts Roseanne and Evonne, just chilling on the top deck where there was a cocktail bar, and enjoying a coconut-flavoured popsicle!

On the three different levels of the yacht, we got to experience and enjoy different beauty treats, from facials, to masks, and even hand pampering sessions.

Glamglow is one of the masks that's highly raved about by everyone! I personally like the white one (Super Mud)!

I was treated to a Sake Bath hand soak and Brown Sugar Scrub treatment on my hands by Fresh, another of my favourite beauty brands! I love Fresh's products because they all smell SO good.

This Sake bath product contains more than 30% sake and is inspired by Geishas who used to bath in sake to keep their skin soft and supple. It smells totally drinkable but please don't try!!

Skin Inc is another brand that I'm well-associated with, and two of my favourite products are their Pure Revival Peel (it's a gentle exfoliating gel that leaves my skin smooth and bright) and their different serums.

Definitely had a wonderful Friday escapade on Sephora Beauty Voyage.

A group shot with the lovely bunch: Roseanne, Tricia, Jess and Evonne! :)

It's not often I get to frolic on a yacht so I totally enjoyed it! Photo credit to Evonne too, my ever-willing photographer!

Thanks for hosting such an awesomeballs event, Sephora!

In other news, guess who was featured in 联合早报 last week! ZB Now ran a feature and interviewed me for TheVelvetDolls! *beams with pride* I'm so happy to be featured along-side some really wonderful and inspiring brands and ladies! Though I showed my dad and he was like "又不是头条新闻" and all. But I believe he secretly approves.

I will work harder! :D

Can't believe it's March, already. The time is just zooming past me! And I've been married for two months now. It seems to be wedding season this year because I've also had four other friends join the club: attended two weddings in the past weekend alone!! Married life is really blissful and I couldn't be happier with my wonderful husband. We are still super lovey dovey to the extent that I think some of my friends are just like "STAPH IT ALREADY" but teehee, love makes the world go round :D

Okay, I'm gonna go back to *real* work right now, so I hope all of you have an incredible week ahead! And come look for me on Dayre and Instagram cos I update those spaces quite regularly!! Oh, and I'll try to update again soon with the rest of my Taiwan travelogues soon! :)

Skin Inc: Get Awesome Skin!

Who doesn't want to have awesome skin?
Definitely not me.. I'm never saying no to awesome skin!

I'm so happy to have discovered Skin Inc's Get Awesome Skin! Customizable Skincare Kit, right before all the year-end festivities begin!


I've heard tons and tons about Skin Inc, about their customisable My Daily Dose serums, and award-winning skincare products, which made me really excited to try Skin Inc for myself!

Did you know that Skin Inc is the world's first Skin Supplement Bar, offering highly concentrated, 100% pure and active serums and skincare from Japan? Skin Inc's customized skincare solutions empower time-starved individuals to create their own fuss-free skincare regimes, delivering maximum results.

Because everyone's skin is different, Skin Inc addresses individual skin identities and their needs with products and treatments that are targeted at delivering to the skin's deeper layers where it matters. Treatments are conducted using state-of-the-art non-invasive technology that promises sustainable results, rivaling other invasive procedures.

So here's the awesome part: Skin Inc has come up with a customisable 5-piece kit, featuring their award-winning 3-step regime!

This is the perfect kit to try, especially for first-timers to Skin Inc who want to experience Skin Inc's 3-step regime, or even for seasoned Skin Inc users, because everything comes in handy mini sizes, great for toting around when you travel during the year-end holidays! :)

And in line with Skin Inc's philosophy, Get Awesome Skin! is customised to address four different skincare needs with four sets of serums especially curated from Skin Inc's best-selling serums!

• Anti-Ageing (Collagen + Hyaluronic Acid + Coenzyme Q10)
• Hydrating (Hyaluronic Acid + Coenzyme Q10 + Ceramide)
• Brightening (Placenta + Hyaluronic Acid + Vitamin A) and
• Renewal (Placenta + Collagen + Vitamin A)

I gave the Anti-Ageing Kit a try, for obvious reasons.. I'm already gonna hit my 30s in a few more years (OMG.. The thought is horrifying and even when typing the number 30 I feel so shocked that it'll just be a few more years before I actually turn 30.....)

This 5-piece collection comprises of Skin Inc’s popular 3-step regime:

The Pure Revival Peel, Pure Deep Sea Hydrating Mask,

And three bottles of Skin Inc's My Daily Dose serums! (Collagen + Hyaluronic Acid + Coenzyme Q10 to target anti-aging!)

 So here's how to use Get Awesome Skin! Customizable Skincare Kit!

Step 1: PREP skin with Pure Revival Peel (20ml) to gently slough away dullness-causing dead skin cells

Pure Revival Peel is a revolutionary, multi-action peel that renews and restores youthful vitality to your skin with a breakthrough formula that is a first in the world!

It gently exfoliates old keratin and impurities from your skin, to reveal baby soft skin underneath! After using the Pure Revival Peel, my skin felt incredibly smooth and soft, and it also absorbed subsequent skincare products better.

There are also other powerful ingredients in Pure Revival Peel that help to restore your skin on the molecular level, repairing damage caused by UV rays, free radicals and loss of collagen.

Check out all that old keratin and other impurities being removed from my skin with the Pure Revival Peel! D: You'd also notice that your skin is visibly firmer, brighter, and clearer!

How to use: Use dry hands to apply a thin layer of Pure Revival Peel to clean, dry skin. Leave on for a few seconds until it turns milky, then gently massage in circular motion. Dead keratin will appear as small granules, showing the exfoliating effect. Rinse off with warm water.

Step 2: NOURISH your skin with a choice of customized Encapsulated Serums (3 x 5ml per set). Choose from 4 best-selling combinations: Hydrating, Brightening, Anti-Aging and Renewal

For the Anti-Aging set, you get a set of Collagen + Hyaluronic Acid + Coenzyme Q10!

o Hyaluronic Acid hydrates skin

o Collagen gets rid of wrinkles and lines, and refreshes ageing skin

o Coenzyme Q10 revitalizes tired skin and refreshes ageing skin

Skin Inc's encapsulated serums from Japan contains 100 per cent active ingredients, encased in capsules to maintain freshness and effectiveness. These caviar-inspired capsules burst upon contact with the skin, dousing skin with high-performance active ingredients.

Paraben-free and fragrance-free, it is even suitable for sensitive skin, like my own! :)

I was so fascinated by the little caviar-like capsules! Just one drop of each serum, and it's powerful enough for your entire face!

How to use: Apply one drop of each serum on cleansed skin before moisturizer.

Not to brag, but this is my bare-faced skin after the Pure Revival Peel, and application of My Daily Dose! The serum was so light-weight and easily absorbed! Even I was pleasantly surprised at how my skin looked glowy and bright, even without makeup. Pretty amazing!!

Step 3: HYDRATE with overnight wonder Pure Deepsea Hydrating Mask (20ml).

The last step in Skin Inc's award-winning 3-step regime is hydration with the Pure Deepsea Hydrating Mask! 

The Pure Deepsea Hydrating Mask is a triple-treat (it clarifies, hydrates and whitens in one simple step) gel mask that replenishes your skin’s moisture with precious deep-sea water from southern Japan. Extremely pure and rich in nutrients, deep-sea water is a powerful natural resource that deeply clarifies and hydrates the skin.

This deep hydrating mask also contains soy bean extract for brightening the skin, alongside Hyaluronic Acid as a key ingredient for that extra moisture boost. The Pure Deepsea Hydrating Mask is so gentle that it can be used daily, and can even be left overnight on your skin. 

The result? Radiant skin that feels plump and dewy soft. Who needs a spa when you can turn your skin around at home?

How to use: Spread a thin layer of Pure Deepsea Hydrating Mask on clean face and leave on for 30 minutes. For even better results, leave on overnight. Rinse off with water or scrape off with a smooth spatula.

HELLO, GLOWY, BOUNCY AND HYDRATED SKIN!
I've honestly never seen my skin look so healthy and radiant, even without make-up on! Sooo happy.
