And the Wow event organized by Kotex that I attended fits the description to a “T”.

When I informed my hubby (The Ginseng Tonic Maker) that I got invited to an event organized by Kotex, he looked bemused and frankly, I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect as well from the event.


The day came and.. gosh.. were we in for a treat @ Heaven's Loft!

In Heaven...

Sign-in

Name Tag

Giant banner welcoming us.

There was yummy finger food provided… Even Ben & Jerry Ice-cream.

We were made to feel like stars with the dress-up and photo taking…
There's even a Design-Your-Own-Cupcakes stand.

Those not only look adorable, they taste great too from Sweetest Moments. We even designed our very own cupcakes!
Choose you own icing color.

Even the packaging is cute

Isa seems happy with her cupcake.

Of course, the event wasn’t just about food and fun…
It’s about WOW. Although up till now, there is no mention of what WOW is all about. I am so glad Isabelle was with for me this event. The place is PACKED with Bloggers.

As I was sipping my tea and enjoying the canapés, the Marketing Person from Kotex came up to show us the history of Kotex. How it has changed over the years. (Thank god it has. If not, we would still be wearing “diaper-look-alike” pad)


Then there it is.


The Launch of NEW Kotex LUXE Ultralthin Design Pads
Wow indeed.

This is the 1st pad with attractive color designs. 6 gorgeous designs. Beautiful. (Never thought I will say that about a pad.) Singapore is the first country to launch these as well.

So why the prints you may ask?
After years of seeing nothing but white… white… and more white. Isn’t it getting a tad boring?
This latest innovation from Kotex marks the beginning of a new era in feminine care, where pads are no longer just a form of protection but also one of self-expression.
With new designs as is the packaging. New KOTEX LUXE Pads come with unique reusable drawstring ploybags that carry individual pouch wrap.
Technology - a super absorbent ultra thin core that provided maximum protection - and its soft cottony cover. All these work together beautifully to deliver unmatched protection. dryness and comfort to delicate skin, and not to mention a sexy alluring sense of style.
With all those good points, how about the pricing? It's surprisingly reasonable.
6 pads per pack (one pack has 3 designs)
Pad Length: 23cm
Price S$1.95
14 pads per pack (1 design only)
Pad Length: 32cm
Price S$6.40

It will be available @ all leading supermarket chains from 13 September onwards.

Review: Elishacoy Premium Gold Mineral BB


After having such a great experience with Elishacoy Always Triple Bb Cream, I am pleased to be able to do another review for Elishacoy Premium Gold Mineral BB.

Due to some hiccups during the delivery, I only received it 2 weeks later. All is good now.



What makes this BB cream so special?

Sounds too good to be true?
Time to put the BB cream to the test.

But first i need to scare my readers with my nude face photo.

Checkout my dark circles! Gosh. Darker than the dark hole.
Haven't been sleeping well or early.

This BB cream has a higher coverage than Elishacoy Always Triple Bb Cream. A small amount will be good for the whole face. Texture is smooth and it spreads easily. If you like the dewy effect from a BB cream, this will be great for you too. It gives a subtle glow and up the moisture level without adding on to the richness.

To have a better view of how big the contrast is before and after applying the BB cream, I applied it on only half of my face.

Left (Applied) Right (Nude)
The difference is HUGE!

1) Off the dark circle.
2) Even out skin tone.
3)Add glow to skin

One last plus point to mention, the BB cream lasts for 12 hrs.
The photo below is taken after 7 hrs.

Still looking fresh!

You can get Elishacoy Premium Gold Mineral BB @ all John Little and Sasa.
Retail price: $59.90 each

What catch my eyes =)

Browhaus: Lash in Bloom


Browhaus has the most interesting names for all the treatment.
Brow Resurrection - Eyebrow Embroidery
Brow Construction - Brow Shaping

The latest I tried will be Lash in Bloom (Eyelash Extension).
Being Asian, it's so hard to have thick and long lashes.
But last night for the first time, I do!

It's Oh-So-Natural!


Costing $120 for a full set which lasts 3 - 6 weeks.
I am hooked!

New Sofa... Old Sofa

I told my mum I have been toying with the idea of keeping the old sofa @ ben's place.
Bad idea.
My mum is never a vintage person and the look on her face when I told her the idea:
"Are u OUT OF YOUR MIND!? "

But why not?
People pay big bucks buying vintage/retro sofa nowadays and I have one sitting right in the living room.

With a fresh coat of paint and new cushion covers!
Maybe.. Just maybe I will be able to do these.

How to cook a meal when your kitchen only have salt, pepper &cooking oil

What's for dinner?
Pan-fried Chicken with Stir-fried Greens

I bought chicken legs from Cold Storage caused it's on discount.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND anyone to look for the discount poultry coz those will be aleast 30% off the usual price.
It's taste equally good but it must be cook within the day.

Anyway I got some garlic, carrots, broccoli & mushrooms.
Oh and this!

I have been wanting to try this.
Good stuff.

Next I will try the Hollandaise Sauce to make Egg Benedict.

Back to the Pan-fried chicken.
Since I only have salt, pepper and cooking oil in the kitchen, I need to improvise on the marination.
What did I used?

The seasoning powder from instant noodles.
1 packet of seasoning is good for 2 big pieces of chicken.
Add a little pepper and keep in the fridge for half an hr.

Then pan-fried it.

Next for the green. Just dice everything up and chop up some garlic.
Heat the oil and add in the garlic.

Add the carrots and broccoli first since those need a longer time to cook.
Then the mushroom, of course.

Lastly heat up the sauce in the microwave for 40 sec.

Taa Daa.
Dinner for 2 under $12
