EVENT: SK-II Unveils New Anti-Ageing Game-Changer- Stempower Essence!‏

On July 5th, I attended the launch of SK-II's Stempower Essence at Changi Airport. Singapore was the first place in which the essence was launched and it was a real privilege to be there. Thank you so much, SK-II and DeVries for the invitation!

SK-II believes that age is now nothing more than just a number, i.e. it is a state of mind. The brand's latest research uncovered our skin cell's very own 'Master Switch', a key which activates our youth activity. By activating this switch and in turn, boosting our inner skin resilience, we can now always have our youthful beauty.

To achieve that, SK-II has come up with the Stempower Essence. Formulated with the new Stem-Acanax ES Complex of Stem-Acanax, Pitera, Artichoke Extract and Kiren Extract, it is the source of youth in a bottle. The ingredients work hard to enhance our skin's cell functions of anti-oxidation. regeneration and longevity. This promotes inner cell density and increases our skin's inner resilience, leaving us with skin that's poreless-looking and bouncy, just like a baby's.

At the event, threads from Love, Bonito's previous and upcoming collections were also showcased.

I have tried the Stempower Essence and it sinks into the skin very easily, leaving behind a smooth texture. It complements the Stempower pretty well, though I do prefer using the latter alone. A detailed review will be up in due time. Till then, have a good weekend! :D

HAUL: Shopping for My Essentials at iHerb.com

I ABSOLUTELY love shopping at iHerb! I mean, I love spending hours in the grocery stores, just looking at rows and columns of food, supplements, skincare products (But of course!) yada yada (Makings of a splendid housewife... Who can't cook. Aye, soon soon!). And if I can do all that without needing to leave the house and suffer from Singapore's insufferable heat, oh my gawd. I believe I'm in almost-heaven.

This is my 4th purchase from iHerb and I got 4 friggin' huge-ass bottles of Thayers (I friggin' love Thayers btw! Thank you, JH, for the recommendation! xx), more Real Techniques by Samantha Chapman's brushes and 2 tubes of Now Foods Solutions's toothpaste gel (Yes, I get my toothpaste online too.). Delivery was by Singpost (Yes, Singpost!) and I think I got my package after a week it was shipped out or just a day or two more.

P.S.: If you wanna, you can key in my code MMS978 during checkout to receive a 10% discount. :D

REVIEW: NARS' Semi Matte Lipstick in Funny Face

At this year's Shiseido's Private Sale, one of the (many) items I purchased was NARS' Semi Matte Lipstick in Funny Face. Described as a 'wonderfully fun fuchsia', it goes on smoothly but a tad dry. Currently, I have something against juicy lips, so this sits with me just fine.

This is my first foray into the land of pink lippies so I wasn't quite ready to have it 'in-your-face' yet. I used my fingers to sheer it out, giving my lips just a hint of colour. Beneath it, lay a very thin layer of Nuxe's Lip Moisturizing Stick with Honey and Sunflower.
