Beauty Hope

Was rather skeptical about receiving another facial treatment sponsorship due to my skin peel the previous round and hence, I waited quite a while before I accepted this sponsorship! 

But man I did not regret it!

It was my second week of intern when I headed for the treatment. At that point of time, the only issue with my skin was that I found it slightly dull and hence, for this session, I chose to have Power source face lightening treatment with Beauty Hope.

Beauty Hope gave me a homely feel and the furnishings felt warming to the heart along with a tinge of sweetness.

Having achieved so many awards for the past few years, I was confident that I'll walk out of Beauty Hope feeling satisfied and prettier hehe.

So let the facial begin!

First thing, we started with skin consultation to know if I'm suitable for the skin treatment as it involves laser. Skin that received chemical peel in the past month are strongly advised not to go ahead with the treatment as it will be too sensitive for the treatment.

The consultant also advised me the skin routines I should take after the treatment which involves not applying any product containing AHA acids such as lactic and glycolic acid after the treatment. 

Also, I was advised against products with Vit C content as it might cause discoloration of the skin.

And let the treatment begin!

Ofc, before any treatment, the skin had to be cleanse!

So this is how my skin looks like after cleansing, without any make up or filter!

Next, a peeling product was applied to my skin to remove dead skin and comedones.

As I still have slightly clogged pores with blackheads, I was advised to undergo extraction.

And here comes the star of the treatment.... The Power Source Face Lightening machine!!

A gel was applied to the face to protect the skin and facilitate the treatment.

Well, I can say that the laser was totally painless because I ACUALLY FELL ASLEEP.

and urm.. my photos during the laser were all very unglam and this photo below is actually the most glam because my mouth wasn't open that big LOL.
I felt so embarrassed when I saw the photos omg.

After the laser,  the skin is rather delicate and Beauty Hope gave me a hydrating treatment so that the skin will be well protected and hydrated!

Another product was applied!

The hydrating machine had an ultrasonic metal head and the cooling properties of the metal made my skin felt very soothed. This process is really the best part of the treatment *.*

Then we had a quick massage..

And lastly, a mask was applied to end off this wonderful treatment!

Uneven eyes but my skin is glowing in here!

Walking out of Beauty Hope barefaced and still feeling good!

Other than the facial, Beauty Hope also sponsored me a silk mask!

When I opened the mask, it consisted of 3 layers.

The middle layer was the actual silk mask!

The mask was very moisturizing but I felt that it was a little too oily for me!

Overall, I would rate this facial experience as follow:

Aesthetics:  7.5/10

Location: 8/10

Service:9.5/10

Products:8.5/10

My skin remained good and soft for at least two weeks and hence, I'm happy to say that the treatment really worked and the softness after the facial was not just an effect of the products used! I find the after effects of facial to be most important because everyone can see your skin when you're outside, not when you're doing your facial!

If you want to try out the same facial treatment as I did, feel free to drop by any one of their two outlets!

AEC Wellness Clinique

Was invited to Aegle TCM Wellness clinique about a month ago and I was excited as it is the first time I'm doing a facial that was infused with traditional chinese medicinal treatment method "Gua Sha".

I headed there on my last day of exam as it would be a great way to destress.

When I reached, I was quite surprised to see the shop so beautifully furnished with bright lightings. I guess I had the stereotype that the shops which provide chinese medicinal treatments were all mostly dark and shabby LOL.

Pretty decorations

I was greeted with beautifully decorated treatment rooms with a hint of woody and oriental scents and I know I'm in for a relaxing treat!

The facial mainly consists of cleansing, extractions and of course, the guasha as well as a mask to end off!

I really enjoyed myself during the massages and guasha as the therapist was really good at it.
From her hand techniques and all, you could tell that massaging and guasha is really the forte and signature of the shop.

 The products, especially the mask, smelt like blueberry and it was really good.

However, I was slightly uncomfortable during the mask as I felt it was too thick and I opened my eyes (it was covered with a mesh) when it was being applied. I was slightly afraid to close my eyes during the mask and hence, I did not really enjoy that part. However, my skin did feel very smooth right after that though!

Radiant skin!!

My skin felt really soft until the next day and it was clear and all until about a week later, the skin started peeling. I noticed the peeling two days before my korea trip. During my trip, the climate caused it to be worse and I had to put mask consequtively before it recovered when I came back to singapore.

I guess my skin might have been undergoing regeneration after the facial ba!

Overall, I would rate the clinic:

Aesthetics: 8/10

Service: 9/10

Products: 6/10

Location: 6/10

Thanks for the sponsorship!!

Where your wishes take off @ 313

I've always seen people in TV writing their wishes on sky lanterns and setting them off and to set off my very own sky lantern has been on my to do list for quite some time!

Traditionally practiced in Taiwan, hand-written lanterns are lit up and released into the sky on the 15th day of Chinese New Year which symbolises good luck and to cast away negativity.

 

However, it is not convenient for us to set off one in Singapore due to the many buildings as well as them being an obstruction for air crafts.

I've never thought that I would be able to set a sky lantern off in Singapore but thanks to 313@Somerset, my wish came true last friday!


From 28 January 2016 to 6 Febuary 2016, a state of the art interactive digital sky lantern display themed "Where your wishes take off @313" is set up in the level 1 atrium of Somerset 313.

Trying to customize my own lantern!

iPads are stationed at the atrium for us to customise our wishes and sky lanterns!

<3

Firstly, we start off by logging in to our Facebook account (You can log in without Facebook too but the lantern won't look as nice)

Next, we can then choose the background of our lantern! 

To add on, by logging into Facebook, your profile picture will appear at the top of the sky lantern.

After selecting your background, you can then now customize your wishes!

And you're then ready to release you wish into the big digital screen!!

Create a new wish if you want!

And you can create as many wishes as you want!!

Looking at a sky full of lanterns

With my very own digital sky lantern

May your 2016 be filled with SMILES!

If connected to Facebook, you can also obtain your soft copy of lantern from there!

Huat ah!!!

Other than digital wishes, you can also write your own wishes in hardcopy!

Can you spot my wish among other pretty wishes? 

Excited to create our very own wishes!

I look so happy :p

Are you as ready as me to create your very own wishes now to start off your Chinese New Year? 

Hurry, head down to 313 Somerset before tomorrow ends!!

Thanks for reading!!
