ShopandBox 

Back in November, I was invited to shop the world with ShopandBox during a cosy event that allowed me to understand more about how they work and the launch of their very own app!

The event was held at an apartment full of products from various countries, with interesting snacks to fascinating beverages to hipster fashionable product to beauty products!

Wheelock WAmazing Championship Race 2016

After the first race of WAmazing Race, it was the Championship Race with more tenants participating, it was an intense series of activities/morning workout! 

With new tenants like Vivre Active, Astalift, O'Coffee Club, Seed Heritage, Gong Cha, Etude House and Gene by Grinrch, we had to do a series of challenges that really took a lot of energy and effort! Overall, it was a really fun, adrenaline-packed morning and my team won!

And to end off the whole event, we had a lovely meal at Picnic with all the participants of WAmazing Race and we did what all social influencers do, we ordered all that we could and did a big fat food flatlay!

Imaginative Nails, Protected Feet with United Nails Supply

I was invited to celebrate the official distributorship of CND Shellac, from top US nail brand CND (featured at countless shows at New York Fashion week) and Allpresan PRO Footcare (from German brand Allpresan with the best experts in Dermatology, Diabetology and Podiatry), and while we were indulging in canapés and champagne, Pat Lim, Founder of UNS, shared with us the latest nail technology to hit Singapore’s shores and weightless feet care products perfect for our climate. 

Unlike traditional creams and ointments, the patented, breathable BarriorExpert® Foam Cream Technology creates a fine, protective mesh on the skin after application, which protects the skin against external factors and strengthens the skin barrier. It’s a perfect match with Singapore’s humid weather and for heels-loving fashionistas – it can be evenly distributed without friction while providing superior moisturising benefits.

She also shared with us about the CND 8-patent SHELLAC system that does not require any buffing of our nail bed and showed us how it offers the same benefits as the usual gel polish – high-performance wear, with a mirror shine!

I think I'm hooked to this brand of Gel polish now... I was staring at how perfect my manicure looked every day until I had to remove it and was very impressed with how easily it was to remove it compared to the many other brands I've tried!

Raffles City Singapore X Craftholic Christmas 2016

I was invited to the launch of a whimsical Christmas happening at Raffles City Singapore with Craftholic!

During the event, we got up close and personal with Ms Ikuko Yamamoto, the Founder/Designer of Craftholic, who flew in specially from Japan!

We were also entertained by the characters from Craftholic in a cute dance performance and indulged our creativity with a range of Craftholic-related activities!

I made a pop-up Christmas card with the help of the experts in making pop-up cards and got treated to a lovely Earl Grey cake!

Singapore’s First-Ever Yuzu Bath at Yunomori Onsen & Spa

I was back at Yunomori Onsen & Spa again, this time round it is for their Yuzu Bath launch. I got to enjoy the Yuzu bath and special Yuzu dishes made for this period!

If you've been to Yunomori Onsen & Spa before, rejoice because their 1-for-1 happy hour promotion is back by popular demand from 28 November till 31 December 2016.

Giftopia X Samplestore Beauty Event

Back in October, I was invited to an exclusive preview of the new SampleStore.com website revamp which was unveiled on the 15th of October. I got to test out their new website before the official launch, and I was also updated about the Giftopia movement and Giftopia events that happened on 15th and 16th October at Raffles City.

With all the beauty brands set up at the event, I went home with more products to test and review. But the highlight of the event for me was the temporary tattoo booth where I got to indulge my hippie side and got myself "inked" for the fun if it!

Puvay's Fruit-puree Based Collagen Drink

Ever wanted to stay ahead of the beauty game but found conventional beauty drinks too sweet or artificial? No need to compromise on taste, thanks to Puvay's new fruit puree-based collagen drinks, Peach Perfect & Passionfruit Spring.

I was invited to the media launch of Puvay's Peach Perfect and Passionfruit Spring Collagen drinks, where we were one of the first to taste the new flavours before it hit stores. We got to design our own Puvay dessert special, and find out more about the Collagen drink!

Puvay uses only 100% natural ingredients and fruits that is lower in calorie and sugar to maintain that healthy factor while giving customers the highest amount of collagen supplement. Each collagen drink flavour contains 8000mg of low molecular weight “Korean Marine Collagen Peptides”, which features specific shorter collagen molecules, called “collagen peptides’. Puvay uses Korean Marine Collagen Peptides molecules which are much smaller in size, which help the body better absorb the benefits more quickly.

Origins' #METIME With Ritualitea & Gryphon Tea

RitualiTea is Origins first-ever wholly tea based collection inspired by tea rituals from around the world combined with the ingredient’s rich well-being benefits. RitualiTea’s four signature blends of sensorial and efficacious powder face and body masks puts the “me” back in #MeTime through a transformative and multi-sensorial beauty experience, both in and out of the shower.

The tea-infused, antioxidant-rich face mask powders transform into a frothy cream when mixed with water using signature CaliBowl and dual-ended tool that helps in mixing, measuring and applying.  One side of the multitasking tool measures the proper amounts of powder and water, while the other side helps mix up your mask and makes application a breeze, helping smooth it onto skin.

 During the event, Gryphon Tea was also there to share with us the beauty of mixing tea leaves and floral herbs to make our very own tea blend to enjoy while relaxing with Origins RitualiTea!

Launch of Yakson in Singapore

Towards the end of October, I discovered the wonders of Golki Therapy in a casual meet session with Yakson Chairman/Founder, Mr. Lee Byung-Chul, who flew here specially from Korea.

I volunteered to try out this interesting Golki Therapy on my face and the whole crowd was shocked by the obvious difference after the quick 5 minutes session, for not only was one side of my face slimmer, my features were also instantly lifted.

Invented in 1979 by Chairman Lee, Golki Therapy, based on the principle of bone tonification, is an all-new, non-invasive therapy method that combines the healthcare technique of promoting circulation by stimulating bones manually with aesthetics programs for the face and body... This technique is used for face resizing care, face balancing care, pre and post-surgical care, bow-leg care, pelvic care, and even bridal care.

And that brings me to the end of all the events that happened in October, until the next month!
