Fall beauty ~ What skincare to use?
Beauty Tip!: To embrace this cool Fall, up your ante!
The transition from summer to fall is to do PEEL & PAT!
As the seasons change, the skin changes too. Although it seems Singapore is summer all year round, that doesn’t give us an excuse to laze about our routine. We still do get very affected as we are earthlings too.
Oily skin may turn normal with less shine as the weather turns colder. Fall can be harsher on dry skin and they may feel thirsty for more hydration!
There is never a better time than fall to do a good peel and exfoliate away that dead dull looking skin surface that stops you from looking glorious! To finish, pat on ultra anti-aging skincare that pampers skin deep from within!
Time for shopping ladies! Look out for power ingredients like:
For gentle & efficient exfoliation:
For mega hydration & anti aging:
That's you pretty for Fall!

Korean Beauty 노민우
easy layered cardi over tank tops, skinny pants/jeans... in neutral colors.
dressed in all black and model-ish, almost teary eyes, red lips.
In absolute beauty the face is, his graceful long fingers are what I notice in this 184cm tall & slender guy with nicely lined soulful eyes... the way he managed to wear the role's emotions as his own skin makes him totally a 'changed' man from his own personal rock life is impressive. Looking through his past pics, he's really cute! Some pics reminds me of my all-time idol Kimura takuya and in some pics he really looks like vaness wu. Luve best when he is rocking in his tied back straight hair, BLACK tank tops & jeans and all the chains, skulls, metals, rock smoky eye makeup and skull rings... they are SO ME!!! So its easy for me to fall in love with that kind of style. Probably just so used to it as I used to have a rocker boyfriend and always luve their individualistic dont-care-less attitude that is so rare these days! His smoky eyes, very japanese rockgetup, (invited comments from people that he looks so gay... but to me, its a beauty. 'Gay' is an overrated term, overused and overabused. To me, gay is beauty too. If Korean guys all look gay & are so popular, then it means that our audience really luve this look! But if he looks gay but he is straight, its a bonus, no?) his clean healthy face in this drama definitely wakes up my passion to make up guys now! My hands are itching to do so! But lately not keeping in contact with guys so much... and recalling I used to always love shaping my boyfriends' eyebrows, faces & some lip stains...but now i don't have bf so no subject, anyone wants a shot at it? ;)
===>>> Read on for one of his interviews after the No2 ranking drama, My Girlfriend is a Gumiho...
No Min Woo plays “Park Dong Joo” in the SBS drama “My Girlfriend is a Nine-Tailed Fox” but is often referred to as “Teacher Dong Joo”, mainly by the drama’s main character Gu Mi Ho (Shin Min Ah).
In the interview, No Min Woo seemed to have a cold. “After three days of shooting all night starting at 6pm,” he told the interviewer, “time goes exceptionally fast. It feels like we began shooting yesterday and all of the sudden the broadcast is ending for that night. You lose track.” This is an occasion for all actors.
‘Girlfriend’ has created a wide variety of talk. When viewers see rain in sunny weather, they immediately think “Ah, Mi Ho” and wonder about how expensive the soda Mi Ho loves ends up being. Whenever the characters even eat, viewers go “ahhh, delicious.” However, “King of Baking, Kim Tak Gu” viewers still hold around 10% of the audience. “It’s a lie if you don’t desire ratings,” says No Min woo. “but the ‘Gumiho’ ratings are good. So it’s a nice atmosphere.”
Dramatic from the beginning, the audience has many different opinions on Park Dong Joo. “Seem mysterious rather than be driven by a motive, maybe that’s what I wanted to do. Also, vegetarians don’t always only have contact with people who only eat meat. I like people going ‘what is he doing with her?’ I liked that aspect. Maybe next week, we will emerge stronger.”
Dong Joo will have to face with Mi Ho what he faced with Gil Dal soon. Just like Mi Ho, Gil Dal wanted to be a human and was betrayed by a “different killer”, a man. Dong Joo couldn’t help but love Gil Dal and now has guilt in his heart.
Dong Joo’s attitude is different with Mi Ho because this time he can’t let the past repeat itself. “At first, I was like the owner watching the game from afar. But gradually began to worry about Mi Ho. In addition, it turned out that Mi Ho was a part of Gil Dal. I don’t want Mi Ho to meet the same pain.”
No Min Woo had to dig deeply to find the lonely and pulled feelings of Dong Joo. Even one month of not seeing anybody close was enough to find that. “Pasta” didn’t have feelings like this.
“Looking back at the nature, body, tone and everything changed after Pasta. I was even 7kg lighter. ‘Pasta’ was about a man who had grown up rich. During the break, I took a bit of a downgrade from life. Above all, I just wanted to clear and keep my mind clear. Dong Joo is a character I have never met. So I learned to make faces, keep sharp angles, etc. I also stood a bit more upright. Just like ‘older characters’ would. I already wonder what character I will be taking on next.”
Shin Min Ah and No Min Woo and the rest of the cast will often refer to each other as their characters name on the set. Through tone, No Min Woo was able to become Park Dong Joo. “I would have to really open my eyes on a sad day and learn to portray emotion in a tense or very concentrated sense. It’s really surprising because I’ll have dreams about being in the drama. The first time I read the script, I got goosebumps. The last 13~16 episodes are important. I don’t want to leave the cast.”
No Min Woo, Mi Ho, and Cha Dae Woong (Lee Seung Gi) are expressing love in many different ways in “My Girlfriend is a Gumiho”. “Focusing on a love triangle is a thrill. In the end, nobody knows what will happen. Have questions and keep watching, you won’t be disappointed.”
“Dong Joo will eventually meet death” has been a lot of the predictions. “Since playing the role of Dong Joo, I had less mood swings. I even react more calmly in every day life. If Mi Ho is happy, then it doesn’t matter how Dong Joo is.”
“My Girlfriend is a Gumiho” is a 16 episode series.

Skincare skincare skincare!!!
Hey babes!!!
I used to think skincare is just cleanser, toner & moisture cream.
Until one day I wash my face and look in the mirror clearly, with the sun shining on my face, I saw my laugh line on my left side of face!!! Never so clear I see it!
From then on, I use eye cream, serums & moisture cream everyday except saturday. I always leave a day off with no makeup, no skincare to let my skin just breathe on it's own. I instinctively felt my skin ask for it. I thot It was just the lazy me talking. Until I heard from a celrbrity skincare expert that it is true!!! ;) OMG!!! If he thinks that way, that makes me a skincare expert too! Haha
There are a lot of theories out there and we all have different skin types, lifestyles and hence different skin needs. So observe ur own skin, see the symptoms and consult a skincare expert her opinions if u are unsure.
Generally everyone needs a makeup remover, cleanser, toner, serum, moisturizer, eye cream daily and Weekly scrub & mask. However it's good to sometimes allow ur skin work on it's own too. Our body is such a genius system, it can function on it's own and produce what we need.
Somehow ur environment may influence what u put on ur skin. For eg, most people will feel dehydrated nearing autumn when it gets colder & wet. So apply more hydrating skincare.
Serums I luve:
Libote intensive serum
Ole truth serum booster
Rexaline hydraforce
Moisture creams I luve:
Bliss triple oxygen + vit C cream
Libote moisture cream
Kose sekkisei
Scrubs:
Boscia smoothing facial polish
Clean & clear scrub
Bliss facial polish
Sephora dual action cleanser scrub
Masks must-haves:
Bliss triple oxygen mask
Laneige water pack
Anna sui moisturizing mask
Makeup removers:
Sephora eye mup rmr
Boscia makeup breakup
Products that I alternate and use depending on my skin needs that day.
Keep listening to ur skin just like u keep listening to ur heart. Soon u will pick up the right signals and the right tasks!

Clarisonic ~ Clearer, cleaner, younger skin
I can still remember the good news of Clarisonic coming to Singapore, after hearing about how marvellous it can make the skin feel and look, how awesome it cleans so well, I have been dying to try it!
Finally when i got my set home...i still remember i came back from a bbq with my colleagues and was feeling super greasy oily all over!
These are my tweets:
Then I just gave my 1st time to #clarisonic plus! ;) How did u guys create such a genius baby?? My skin feels pillowy delicate now! cradling it in my hands I wish it can do more than just deep cleansing haaa!! So ticklish when I use it on my.. Nose! Cute! ;p
If I can try clarisonic opal... Hmmmm... Heard it's efficient like Botox in diminishing fine lines & expression lines!! I soooo need it!!
Beauty tip: try gg back to basics when u r experiencing blemishes. Think: R u cleansing 100%? @Clarisonic cleanses 6x better than tradl methods.
Nothing vibrates like clarisonic sonic techonology! It's godsend wonder everyone MUST try! Save up all ur spa facials fees & buy one, baby
And then...the press day came. I was supposed to bring my set back. It was pouring mad!!! Even heavens was crying for me!
yes the feeling is heartbroken. U dunno.. I am even crying now! The few days of satisfaction are over...it was 4days sampling.
Then i thought I have to part with my clarisonic.... and then the dearest David gave me a set. He said, with all the rest, I must at least have one for myself. So I gave his set to me, saying go try it and see the difference on ur skin after 3 months and then some... and the rest is history.
I have my baby clarisonic every night. The vibrations I somehow find very cooing... I feel so happy after I use it every night... its a love ritual.
An overnight charge will last you 30 minutes. Means 30 times. If you use it twice daily, it would last 2 weeks. Usually I charge it for 6 hours straight and it will indicate full charge with all the lights in front lit up.
Cleansing is the 1st step of skincare regimen, yet the most neglected and treated with disinterest.
This is going to change from now.
Cleansing is the most important step and the 1st step to prepare your skin.
If your skin is well cleansed and free of dead skin cells, dirt, makeup & impurities, your skin is able to receive the benefits from your serums, masks & moisturisers, eye creams you apply.
Do you ever had that time when you felt that your moisture cream is not working as well as before? Thats because your skincare is not penetrating deep enough. Due to the layer of dead skin cells.
You need to rid them by efficient cleansing and let the glow radiate through.
I suggest you remove your makeup with makeup remover if you dont want to stain your brush head so fast. Another reason is because cleansing is unlike makeup removal. Makeup requires some oil to fully dislodges the makeup we put on our face especially since nowadays we are talking about super lasting makeup, makeup that wont smudge, waterproof, stays put whole day. So common sense says, we need to use makeup remover to remove the makeup. Then cleanse the face with a cleanser.
Clarisonic is a tool that removes remaining traces of oil, dirt, makeup and impurities from our pores to prevent clogging and which leads to whiteheads, black heads, acne!
Becos Clarisonic removes 6 times more makeup than manual cleansing, simply sonic technology allows 300 oscillations in one second, it works more efficiently. We cant move our hands 300 times in a second, can we?
With makeup so lasting, you need a powerful cleansing gadget!
And girls with gadget are just cooler! ;)

The perfect hottie
Lately watching:
1. Personal taste ( starring lee min Ho)
2. Playful kiss ( starring Kim hyun joong)
3. My girlfriend is a gumiho ( starring no min woo)
Why are Korean dramas although not teary-weary like before, they still tug at our heart strings... Or rather our tv & network cables?
The key lies in the perfect lighting and makeup and then foolish idiotic girl next door female main lead who wins over the hot rich smart guy, competing with the hotter stylish but often evil scheming female stars. The plot seems to be the same with the girl & guy started being hostile / nonchalant or hate each other, to becoming increasingly meeting each other coincidentally everyday n falling in luve!
Oh well.. Most of them are adapted from japanese animes!
If there is only 1 thing to learn from our Korean stars?
The skill to draw eyeliner so discreetly we call 'waterlining'. Aren't u amazed why these hotties look so perfect- now STARE at their eyes.

Their perfect skin perfected by little (pls, not thick!??) foundation/powder and pink reddish shaped lips...so kissable! Wooo..
Those who know how to use makeup available to them as readily as us girls WILL WIN heads down over the rest! And they also learn about lighting and sculpting... ;)
Add beige/ camel/light grey/pink long cardis over white chest baring tank tops or black on black,
Or dressed in long black shirt & fitted pants,
Or loose sweaters...
paired with skinny long pants that stop just above ankle,
Feet clad in long pointed shoes or white or grey keds,
And carry a tote! Leather or canvas! Oh so in luve~~
Oh oh add a simple diamond earring stud and a simple or chunky silver ring. Hmmm...
You got it! THE STAR is born!

HAIRstyle makes a lot of difference too. A hairstyle can change your charisma, personality and image others see you.
You can be wild, crazy, sophisticated and sleek, confident and sexy, or innocent boyish girlish.
If you know or see a guy looking like this, PLEASE CALL ME. I am looking for him for more than 1000 years now.
It's not that difficult right? U guys say what I ask for a guy is too much, u see, it's all spelt out, it's NOT difficult or elusive or fantasy at all. I just need to go to Korea or grab one potential one and makeover him!
The perfect picture
No min woo! I am obsessed... He can pass off with the charisma like scorpios. In this show.
But Why? geminis are so intriguing to me... they played big roles in my past.

There! My perfect hottie!

Ethereal minimal look
If you are afraid of the heavy makeup look, try my dab-sponge method! Dab a pea size liquid foundation with a blending sponge onto only areas needing coverage. :) then blend a little lipstick on the cheeks & lips! Tada! Complete minimal look!
I have been spotted in this as-if-no-makeup look for entire last month- to my 2day dentist appointments, to my bro's BMTC graduation and min's bday!
Okay, min's bday, my skin was totally bare becos I wore glasses & lots of hydrating skincare!

2notti monster nieces caught in a tumbling act. Mr happy is min and we were celebrating her bday wch is today! That little bee over there is truly spoilt! Needs some spanking! Carrying both of them, one 17kg, one 13 kg was easy for me, I can even swing them around but I can imagine my sister handling them alone! It must have been a crazy!

Fred Farrugia ~ a brand exclusive to Sephora
Fred Farrugia is my love brand!
As a very petite ("skinny" ~ *rolls eyes... why do people always call me that?) makeup artist, i always hated the heavy aluminium makeup case I had to carry to shoots.
When I 1st saw this design, I was so swooned.
How can such great quality makeup be presented in such genius packaging and when I held them stacked high in my hand, I immediately sighed a relief at the thought of no more heavy cases for me! I could actually bring my entire collection of foundations, concealers, to eyeshadows and blushes, lipsticks, brushes in such compact travel friendly weight!
I am going to show you how light and storage saving space-friendly it is as well!
Before you go crazy at the pigments the award-winning brand gives you, you must know this brand is made in paris!
The ex lancome artistic director created this in his house. And made it available to us exclusive in Sephora!
Even the lipsticks are in cake form.
Everything is compact in cake form, very concentrated formula, you only use a little.
And it blends so easily, giving you second skin perfection! Almost like airbrushed!
I love such vibrant colors in makeup, thats why I am not a bobbi brown fan.
Sorry but I luve COLORS! The more the merrier.
Colors bring my heart to dance!
They make me happy because I luve black so much the colors pop out of the dark side.

10 Things I Learned From Makeup Artists At Fashion Week
I always believe one should keep learning new things!!!
1. Black eyeliner + deep brown shadow smudged on top = easy "smouldering" smoky eye
2. Primer makes shadow last longer, but it also means you'll have to work a little harder to blend. In a rush? Just neutralize lids with concealer. It'll still give shadow something to grab onto, while cancelling out redness.
3. Want a liner that lasts forever, even under show lights? MAKE UP FOR EVER Aqua Eyes, Urban Decay 24/7 pencils, and Givenchy Magic Kohl.
4. Going for drama? Connect liner at the outer corner of your eyes in a V-shape. Want something softer? Try a C-shape.
5. In a hurry? Dior Forever foundation requires minimal blending, sinks right into skin, and whether you use fingers or a makeup sponge, still looks awesomely flawless.
6. Tone down any lipstick by adding a tiny (important! TINY) dot of concealer on top and bottom lips, then blending.
7. Made a booboo? Smeared your own liner? Overdid it with foundation? A makeup sponge used as an eraser will make just about any beauty error go bye-bye.
8. Pump your lash curler 3 times, rather than clamping down on lashes and holding.
9. Fresh out of styling prods? Give slightly damp locks a squirt with hairspray and no one will ever know.
10. Press, don't sweep shadow onto your lids. Keeps the pigment truer to what's in the box, and makes makeup last longer.
.~*~. so make me look like a princess!

FLUTTER THOSE FLIRTY FAUX LASHES NOW!
DIRECTIONS to use:
> Place faux lash on your eyelid to measure the length for your unique eyes. It shouldnt be too long unless you like the droopy marilyn monroe look!
> Cut away the excess with a sharp cuticle scissors.
> Squeeze out some glue or transfer directly to lash bone, one lash at a time.
> Wait 12secs and blow 2 times at the glue.
> Place faux lash as close to own lashes as possible to look natural, gently press on both the ends for 5 secs to secure.
> Draw eyeliner along the lashbone to conceal the lash bone.
> Then do the next side!
> Take your favourite mascara and coat both your original and faux lashes together.
> Curl the lashes with shu uemura eyelash curler!
Voila! You are done! Look pretty & flutter away!
U can apply eyeshadow now.
Note: Eyeshadow application can be b4 or after, doesnt matter.
However, if u are a beginner, i would suggest wear faux lash before eyeshadow becos if u make a mistake, u can remove lash and re-do. If not you might smudge the eyeshadow on your eyelid.
THE BEST lash glues touted by the pro experts,
1. DUO eyelash glue (available at sasa/mac S$16.90-$18.90, lasts about 35 uses.)
DUO is the world's best selling surgical grade lash adhesive, made in the USA.
Available in clear and black. Both are perfect.
** Extra insider tips!:
~ Ideal also for adhering small, neat dressings to scalp and facial wounds, boils, and adhering other body parts, such as moustache! ;p
~ alert all cross dressers!
~ Because the tube opening is quite big, u can squeeze the glue on your palm, and then use any brush end to transfer the glue to your eyelash bone!
2. Body Tools eyelash glue (available at S$9/tube, lasts about 25 uses.)
This small tube of USA-made glue which seems ubiquitous, is usually seen sold together with faux lashes of premium quality such as Make Up For Ever, M.A.C, body tools faux lashes, and other professional cosmetics.
One of the most amazing glue i've used! It can hold very heavy outrageous lashes the whole day without drooping of falling off!
I order a dozen from my source everytime my stocks are running low because i use them on customers, models, brides and myself!
** Extra insider tips:
~ The luminous bluish white glue turns a little blue to indicate that it is time to stick them to ur skin!
~ Has a fine applicator to directly apply to faux lash.
~ Receive it as your free gift when u sign up for my makeup classes in June and July'09!
Beauty Editor's personal FAVE is Body Tools!
Love the gorgeous bluish white liquid, and fragrance free, it becomes very tacky and adheres to my skin securely, even after night's clubbing sweat! Coolest ever!
Removes easily with eye makeup remover. Luve it must have it!

YOUR MAKEUP BREAKUP OR BREAKOUT!
ALARMING BUT TRUE, MILLIONS OF GIRLS STILL DON'T KNOW THIS!
Our pretty makeup goodies do expire and past their use-by dates too, just like we do. (oops!)
Its sad.. but its time to part.And give way to NEW PRETTIER ONES!! ^o^
STEPS TO JUST DO IT:
1. Now bring out ALL YOUR MAKEUP STASH,
obediently sit down on the floor,
and start looking at them like you never done before!
2. Open one by one, take a sniff...
if they give off an unfamiliar odour,
Dont think so much, just throw throw throw!

QNS:
WHY DO I HAVE TO DO THIS?
SO TROUBLESOME! NO TIME LAH!
ISNT IT A WASTE OF MONEY?
WHAT IF I NEED IT LATER?
MY ANSWER?
PLEASE SAVE YOUR PRETTY FACE!!!
Nasty tinies called Bacteria breeds in your makeup, your food and every consumables.
As the product gets into contact with air, your skin and other substances whatever you might touch, bacteria is attracted and allowed to breed wherever they like.
Its better to be cautious than to have sudden breakouts due to expired makeup on your face right? So breakup with ur 'old' makeup already!
I recommend that you can use my mother's method. Use a black permanent marker fine tip ~ Write down mth & year on the bottom of your makeup on opening ceremony day, ie. 06/09 for jun09. Trust me! I personally tink its a flawless idea!! So start practising it!
Also ZIP it up!
You can keep all those makeup and skincare you hardly use, in a economical ziploc bag (for hygiene reasons), can prolong the life span!
okies... that's all for now!
