Myth: Everyday is Valentine!



Nope!
If you look like just any other day, don't your date feel any special?
If he doesnt any more special, then he wont prepare something special, and no special memories.
Take some effort to make him feel special, putting in special efforts to DOLL up, and by feeling special yourself.
YES everyday is Valentine's Day where U express how much U love him, how about today Xtraordinarily special? TBH, its not that difficult. Let me show you how. You'll be glad U did!
;p Thank me later! Hahaha Girls should have at least 7 Looks that charm guys.

I know Valentine's Day can be quite daunting for some girls out there.
I have been dressing up girls & women for a decade now, and wanna share a simple yet sensual look with you all!
Check it out & enjoy prettying up yourself for the man you love.


Love,G

Cozycot X Freshkon Review

This is something that has become part of my life now.
So much so that without thinking about it, it's a necessity.
What am I talking about?

YES its my beloved FreshKon cosmetic contact lenses!

I have been wearing it for 15 years (OMGGGG I just used my calculator to calculate!)! And none of the other brands gave me such total comfort & colors like FRESHKON! The ONLY BRAND I TRUST MY EYES IN IS FRESHKON!

I have always been a vain girl and vanity is my middle name! So very early, I have started wearing contact lens since I was in college days. Then my first job I started wearing FreshKon Colors Fusion lens, I still remembered FreshKon Colors Fusion in Misty Grey is always my favorite! All the guys say they can't help but gaze into my eyes... yet they are afraid because my eyes look seductive they lose their senses! LOL ;p

Becoming a true blue FreshKon Official Ambassador & Makeup Artist seems to be the MOST NATURAL THING! I had the pleasure & honour to work with FreshKon lens for an event while working at Sephora as their Trainer. The FreshKon Team is a breeze to work with! After that, I also did a photoshoot lookbook for them & their magazine/ newsletter! It is my pleasure to be their Official Ambassador. The Oculus team people are such an honour to work with. I love my FreshKons.
I have tried so many other brands such as Acuvue, Maxi Eyes, Geo Lens... yet nothing like FreshKon for a refreshing pair of eyes! Lol ;)
I always boast to my friends that my lenses are so comfortable and last throughout the day till past midnight!

MY EVERYDAY ROUTINE includes reaching out for FreshKon Alluring Eyes 1-Day Lens everytime I go out. There are 3 colors - Mystical Black, Winsome Brown, Magnetic Grey &....and my #1 favourite is "Mystical Black"! They also have a more subtle black shade which is only available in the monthly modality.

A lot of people wear the lens too black or too big, making their eyes look spaced out instead of attractive. I like FreshKon lenses as it feels as though you didn't wear anything but your eyes are beautifully enhanced!
Especially on days when I worked late into the nights and wake up with tired droopy eyes, I am very blessed to have FreshKon to brighten & perk up my otherwise tired eyes!

Black is also my go-to color because it matches any of my eye makeup I wear - be it colors or style I am dressed in. For meetings - I wear Mystical Black for its professionalism.
For conducting classes, I wear Mystical Black for its endearing personality & instant confidence. For weekends, I chose Winsome Brown for its subtle simple beauty! For fashionista days, I choose "Magnetic Grey"!


Now let us just allow the pictures do the talking!
Here are some photos of me wearing FreshKon Alluring Eyes on different occasions & meetings.

FRESHKON LENS ARE AND ALWAYS THE BEST! ;)

Just last thursday I was in Bali for a conference & training event, I took my FreshKon lens with me!
A few times I was traumatised when my solution got confiscated at the customs checking my handcarry on short vacations! The thought of no lens to wear for the next day or how to contain my lens at night!?
And those times when i was going to an island or resort where shops are scarce and perhaps 1-2hours away... can be quite mood-spoilers!

So I am super THRILLED when FreshKon launches its cosmetic lens available in black, grey & brown in the "DAILY LENS" version: "1-Day" Alluring Eyes!
How convenient never to worry that my solution will exceed 100ml in my handcarry & get confiscated! Here are some gorgeous photos from Laguna Beach Resort & Spa in Nusa Dua Bali where everyone there so warm & friendly just like the weather! ;) I felt like a celebrity whenever they greet me every metre of the resort! ^_~ Thumbs up for that awesome first-class service in a five star resort. Laguna resorts are owned by Starwood Hotels Group, who brings you St Regis Hotel too, one of my top favorite hotels!

ENJOY THE PHOTOS. They are taken with iPhone 4S with no filter and flash.
Just its natural beauty.





Stay Fresh & Happy always,

Product Review: OLAY Regenerist micro- sculpting cream Moisturiser


People who know me know that I am all keyed in when the subject "ANTI-AGING" comes up!

Ask anybody "Which makeup artist or beauty guru doesn't look anywhere near her age?" and most people who know me has my name pops up in their heads!



WHY DO I LOOK SO YOUNG?
2 Saturdays ago, I was standing at The Arena, Clarke Quay before my friend signing us in, I was asked to show my IC! (AGAIN?!!! as always, I am the only one out of my group, any group of friends, even though younger than me, I will end up being the one to be checked IC!) Haha I look a good 10 years OFF my age!
 

There's no wonder I am in FASHION & BEAUTY LINE! They always say, I am a walking advertisement & everything on me just looks so gurrd. ;p
I always fantasize of a day I will stand before the TV screen in front of everyone and tell all my beauty youthful SECRETS with YOU! ;) That would be awesome, isnt it? *Can't wait!
Everyone knows I am very generous.

Every beauty guru out there knows & will continue to try out beauty products. For me, its more for market research. I need to know what's out there and to share with my clients & bridal customers when they enquire about their beauty routine. Hence the need to try out all kinds of beauty products out there! ;)


SOMETIME 2 WEEKS AGO....

I was given the great chance to try out the new OLAY Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream Moisturiser,
touted to renew the skin and plump up the skin to firm & tone.

Opening up the huge jar of cream & anticipating....

THE PACKAGING
I like the red color. It kinda reminds me of SK-II luxury brand feel. The heavy jar seems to promise something great inside!


THE SCENT
Taking a whiff at the white cream, I take in a faint floral scent that is pleasant & easy to the nose. I like creams that smell like these. Not like overwhelming.


THE TEXTURE
It has this smooth rich texture, quite like ice cream. ;) Smoothing it onto the back of my palms and it absorbs quite easily & quickly, quite unexpected for a cream like this.


THE EXPERIENCE & THE RESULTS (After 2 weeks' trial)
I used it for 2 weeks every night and my skin feels slightly firmer around the jawline where I focus on with this micro-sculpting cream. My skin is also calm & not oilier than usual the morning after, although I noticed a slightly glowing outlook in midday.


RECOMMENDATION
Would recommend this cream to those who wants an affordable cream and to achieve a firmer & toned skin. Probably would need around 90 days to see the results as skin is regenerating every 30 days, depending on your age. It's said that as we pass age of 35 years old, the skin regenerates in only 60 days, instead of 28days!!! So better start some anti-aging going on ladies & gentlemen!


Ideal age to start anti-aging: 
I would suggest...
22 years old (as technology advances & our quality of food supply these days, our skin lacks many nutrients it needs. So start preparing yourself on guard against aging!)

Estรฉe Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eye Serum

Hi everyone!
Here's my beauty product review of Estรฉe Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eye Serum.





Recently I have been using this ANR eye & face serum for 2 weeks now...




I really like Advanced Night Repair Eye Serum's light texture. Its not heavy or thick or rich like most eye serums and goes on my skin pretty well & absorbs quickly! It's too early to see a huge difference yet although i felt my eye area looks smoother & felt slightly firmer around the eye contour. I am currently using it under my own anti-aging eye cream and it's working well together! ;) 
I will continue to use it and will update results after 1 month of application. 

As for the Face Serum,
it has the similar lightweight texture like the Eye serum but more fluid-y.
After 2 weeks of using it, I noticed my laugh lines aka expression lines around my lips has seemed lighter and less obvious. If you have concerns like powder caking in the expression lines, this booster serum might work in reduction of the lines, hence the caking up issues.
I felt that makeup stayed on longer and better the next morning and skin looks more radiant and supple tone.


haha now I can camwhore more with more beautiful skin!

If you are looking to boost your current skincare routine, you may want to incorporate the face serum by applying it before your serums. It helps accelerate your anti aging routine!

As compared to Lancome Genefique, I feel the ANR is slightly easier to absorb due to the lightweight texture! 




Thanks Cozycot & Estรฉe Lauder for giving me this wonderful opportunity of reviewing the product and would love to try more of ur products!


Leaving you with more photos!

SIGNIFICANCE OF EAGLES: "Clear Vision, Swift Action & Good Results"


THE RECEPTION

THE STUDIO where we did our recording! LET'S ROLL!!!


On Monday morning 10AM, I was at SPH News Centre KISS92 Radio Station studio doing a recording with my old friend, DJ Maddy and sharing about tons of makeup tips!
As you know, I am very excited whenever you ask me about makeup. I am someone who you can even wake me up middle of the night, asking beauty questions and I will tirelessly enthusiastically answer all your questions! ;)



I had so much FUN recording!
Its an impromptu look "POWER BROWS" we decided to ride on! The IT look all A-lister celebrities & supermodels are wearing on their faces off-duty, on red carpets & on the runways.
Nadirah & KISS team video-ed me transforming Maddy's face with the Power Brows WOW!



Are Power Brows going to stay or go? My personal take on this trend is gonna be as long lived as the ultimate Smokey Eyes & Nude Makeup on the runways too!





WHY???

Power brows, as many didn't know, can make you look suddenly YOUNG, almost erasing 5-8 years off your face! Wow! What an easy anti-aging method, ladies! Oh it isnt just for the ladies!
I personally love thick brows on guys cos I think its really sexyyy!

And you know what? The classic style icon, Audrey Hepburn is the ultimate representation of this look way back then in 1960's. Doesn't she look endearing?


Since Spring 2012, we see lots of repeats in this trend on all the fashion shows and we can't say enough! Cara Delevinge, IT supermodel has brought it back to fame again and many celebrities too!

I always teach this in my makeup workshops, sharing with the ladies, the "1950s overly plucked, highly arched brows" are so DATED passe and oh please, kindly "bring your brows out of the house"!

Brows frame the face like photoframes for the pictures. It anchors your facial features and add strong dimension and impression, making a positive impact with people you meet. People will find you more trustworthy & steady with a pair of nicely groomed brows. Well image you may argue as superficial, guess what? The subconscious mind is at play all the time!

If you are in the sales industry or need to meet people & negotiate deals, definitely brows are your anchors to succeed in power of persuasion!

At the recording, I also shared about

  • how to line your eyes with the surefire easiest technique
  • how to apply blush and not look like a clown or puffer fish
  • why using a primer is so critical to look fresh all day!

These are all recorded on VIDEO too!
You can watch it on Youtube or the link from KISS92 FM website videos. ;)
