It's Valentine Everyday, with Him

My blog is in neglect again. Have been so busy with work these days, I barely have more than 5-6 hours of sleep. But no matter what, I'll never be too busy to spend some alone time with my dearest bf of 7 years. =)

How was your Valentine?

I didn't think that we were gonna celebrate since we had talked about celebrating it together with our anniversary. He was also busy and distracted with work, so I scheduled to work that day at Marina Bay Sands. But as you know, us girls, even though we may claim that we don't need anything special or any gifts whatsoever. A part of us will always be hoping that our partner remember this day and do something special for us - be it a card, flowers, gift or even a simple text message.

So I was tweeting the night before Valentine that I thought he must have forgotten about Vday or our anniversary celebrations. But, I was so wrong, and damn, i am so happy to be wrong, for the first time!

He came to pick me up from work and the first thing I saw in his car, were 2 cups of my favourite BB tea - KOI's peach red tea. So I started to scan the backseats, to see if he might be hiding anything else there. Heheh. Next thing I knew, he took out bouquet of flowers and minature teddy bears from the side of his seat!

Tadah!

I was super happy and touched. Cause he actually remembered that it was Valentine's Day, and even made a special effort to get something for me. He had also purchased movie tickets to my favourite Hollywood comedian actor, Adam Sandlers' new film - Just Go with It.

I was so super touched that I couldn't help tearing. I know its not a gigantic bouquet of real roses or a candlelight dinner in a fancy restaurant, but all these little actions of his mean so much to me. I understand him well and I know he feels shy or awkward when buying flowers or soft toys for girls. So it always feel especially special whenever he does that for me. =)

While waiting for movies, we popped into a restaurant that didn't need us to queue - Asian Kitchen. And the food is actually quite good!

Poor boy haven't had his dinner and still had to rush about from the West to Iluma, den to Marina Bay Sands to fetch me, and then back to Iluma again.

Photobucket
Doesn't he look so ADORABLE here?!!! I forced him to make this expression. Haha!

I had a very very pleasant Valentine,thanks to him. In fact, every single day with him feels like Valentine. =)

LOVE Yourself MORE

[Sponsored Advertorial]

Have you guys noticed that most of the beauty talk shows in Asia are now focusing on having a SMALL V-shaped and fair, translucent skin?

Yes, I've been watching quite a fair bit of beauty variety shows and Korean dramas lately. Which leave me staring at my face in despair everytime at the end of the shows. Why?? Cause I have a squarish face and skin that is far from being fair. Boohoo!

And yet, I dread the thought of going under the knife or having needles poke through my skin every 4-6 months - E.g. Botox, whitening injections! Plus they are gonna burn a hole in my pockets!!

Thus, I was very happy when TheSampleStore & Lush Beauty sent me 3 boxes of LoveMore masks to try out. Now I can Love Myself More!!


Photobucket



Love More is one of the best-selling mask brand in Taiwan and uses imported ingredients from Japan, Australia, Brazil, France, Swiss & Scotland. There are 6 types of masks with different benefits and 3 types of 3D masks with ear-hooks. Each type of mask has its own unique packaging and design, which I must say, are really so cute that I can't bear to open them!

Check out what I've got below!

Check out what Kary Wu (LoveMore HongKong Endorser) has to say about the masks!

Extract of Kary’s raving:
“I finally finished my work, and the first thing that I do when I reached home is to pamper my skin! I want to recommend "LOVE MORE MASK" which I use daily to everyone! Other than pampering my face, I think it is important to take good care of my neck too! This 3D mask fits perfectly to my face, and the ear-hooks wraps my face and neck~ you will turn beautiful and fair with just 20 minutes a day! To babes who want to become prettier, let us enjoy "LOVE MORE MASK's" Magic!!”



And your very own "Endorser" from Singapore, ehhem, MOI..!!! What I can't even imagine issit?

I LURVVEEE ALL OF THEM!

But but but if you really want me to pick a favourite...

3D White Crystal & Platinum Peptide Whitening Duo Lifting Mask (with ear-hooks)
Photobucket
Such cute 3-D design!

Even the box is a piece of artwork itself!

Taking out one sheet reluctantly... Haha!

This mask is 3D because it comes with ear-hooks that further enhances the lifting & firming of the skin at your NECK, mouth, cheek and EYE area. So innovative! Now you can whiten & lift your face all at one time! Save the time, hassle & cost!

Photobucket

I really adore the idea of using ear-hooks! Besides enhancing firming of the skin, the ear-hooks help to secure the mask (you know, some masks just keep on dropping off at the sides, so irritating!) and also make sure that the mask adheres closely to your skin so that the essence is absorbed better.

This 3D mask is very user-friendly and there's illustrated instructions at the back of each sheet mask to teach you how to put it on, so don't worry!

The mask essence is neither thick nor sticky and feels refreshing on my skin when I'm wearing the mask. My face also feels tighter & smaller while looking brighter after only ONE usage.

Photobucket
Tadah! Brighter-looking & firmer skin!!


Camellia & Tourmaline Whitening Mask
Photobucket Sheet masks in PINK envelop-like packets!! Valentine's Day coming right? Just attached a love-note with this mask and give them to your besties or girlfriends! Makes such a perfect girlie gift!

Benefit: Tightening and Firming, Anti-aging, Supple + Whitening of course!

I would recommend this mask for regular usage as it combines many benefits in one without being too harsh on the skin. However, due to its tightening and firming effects, I wouldn't recommend people with dry skin to use it as you might feel that your skin is too dry thereafter (although its just the effects of tightened and firmer pores).


Diamond Super White Mask
Photobucket In your regular envelop packaging!

Benefit:Lustrous and Radiance skin, Whitening, Supple

Small molecules of diamond and rose tourmaline allows the whitening ability of the mask to penetrate deeply into the skin. Herba Saussureae Involucratae and m-Tranexamic Acid improves the skin’s ability to regenerate and removes dead cells.

This is what beauty experts on Taiwan variety talk shows usually call a 深层清洁/去角质 (deep cleansing & exfoliating/regenerating) mask. Due to its ability to remove dead skin cells, it is more advisable to only use this mask ONCE per week. Your skin needs time to regenerate & stabilise too! Over-cleansing or regeneration may cause hyper-sensitivity and even adverse skin reactions.

And the good news! LoveMore masks are available for redemption on TheSampleStore! Grab yours before they run out of stock!!!

You can also purchase LoveMore masks at your local Watsons stores!
