♥ the QUEEN and her BLING ♥

It’s my 27th birthday today! Boss brought me out for a sumptuous dinner at Gyu-Kaku last weekend. He made an absolute right choice!

Here’s my outfit breakdown! Just got a new hair color and decided to grow out my fringe. I braided my fringe to keep it away from my face. You know how annoying it can get. I love how it turns out.

We took their Warai set as recommended by their staff. It’s gonna be my new favorite eatery! The food is good, every dish is well-marinated and their staff are extremely friendly and attentive. They would walk around every table, making sure that everything is in place. They even took care of little details like shifting my glass when it got into my way. Absolutely 5-star service.

I love every dish! But if I had to choose, my favorite would be their Horenso salad, teriyaki chicken, lamb chop, kimchi and the sinful Gyu-Kaku ice cream! Super satisfying! You would be surprised that the atmosphere is non-smoky and non-greasy. We totally enjoyed ourselves, it’s worth every penny. *rubs tummy*

Lovely recommendation and treat from Boss! My personal chef for the day hee hee! Thank you my love!

Turning 27 in a few days time. *gasp* Need more anti-aging products!

2 months ago, BFF brought me to the Elizabeth Arden event where they introduced us the new Night Anti-aging Restorative Cream under the PREVAGE® range.

The event was held at Grand Hyatt’s suite, extremely cosy! We were being treated to yummy sushi and a special concoction of vodka + orange juice!

Here’s the entire PREVAGE® range. Oh my, I wanna own all of them!

Bumped into fellow beauty bloggers!

And now moving on to the star product – PREVAGE® Night Anti-aging Restorative Cream and its key benefits:

• Reverse dryness with intensive moisture
• Enhance skin’s own natural nighttime repair process
• Smooth, soften and retexturize skin’s appearance
• Restore skin’s natural resilience for a firmer look
• Fight lines, wrinkles, discolorations and sun damage
• Give skin a rested, restored and more radiant appearance

This powerful cream contains Idebenone, Mega Complex-A, Lemon Peel Extract, Retinol Derivative and Colorless Carotenoids which help to protect the skin from harmful environmental radicals, smoothens lines and wrinkles to give the skin a firmer appearance.

It’s always a hassle to scoop out the cream from jars. I get really frustrated when the cream gets stuck under my fingernails and I had to switch using cotton buds or a spatula instead.

The PREVAGE® Night Anti-aging Restorative Cream comes with this innovative airless pump which makes your job so much easier. It allows you to press and dispense the product without applying too much on your skin.

Though slightly heavy, the cream gets absorbed pretty well. It doesn’t get too oily or greasy on the skin. The rich texture of the cream makes my skin extremely smooth and radiant when I woke up the next day.

It’s retailing at S$256 for 50g, more expensive than drugstore beauty brands but it’s a great product to own to see desirable results on your skin.

GlamaBox, first launched in Hong Kong has recently landed on Singapore shores! A complimentary November box was sent to me for my review.

It’s founded by renowned-model and host Lisa S., wife of Daniel Wu. Basically, GlamaBox is a beauty subscription service where you will receive 5 beauty products and services from luxurious and reputable brands, all personally-selected by Lisa S. For a monthly fee of S$18 per month, it’s extremely affordable and worthwhile given that the products are from luxury brands!

When I first saw the box, I was like “Ooh, damn pretty! Can reuse it!” Hahaha!

Look at the amount of goodies inside!

Mad happy!

Nifty little notes explaining about the benefits of each product!

Neogence Hyaluronic Hydrating Eye Cream

Neogence Hyaluronic Hydrating Eye Cream smoothes fine lines caused by dryness around your eye area. Formulated with pure hyaluronic acid and pure olive extract, it is non-irritating and non-comedogenic meaning it won’t clog your pores! This fresh eye cream absorbs rapidly, and is the first step to making you look bright-eyed and bushy-tailed!

Cyber Colors Hand Cream

Quick fix for a case of “Winter Hands”? Containing Vitamin E and natural fruit extracts, this handy and silky hand cream soothes, moisturizes and protects your skin against dehydration. Mango, orange, strawberry or melon? They all smell delicious, so don’t be surprised if you keep sniffing your hands after applying!

Perfective Ceuticals Anti-imperfection Eye Therapy Cream

Can looks kill? We arm you with the best weapons to battle against the four pillars of aging eyes – fine lines, wrinkles, dark circles and puffiness! Collagen, Matrixyl, Retinol and Ginseng extract. Perfective Ceuticals Anti-imperfection Eye Therapy Cream with Growth Factor packs a whammy, gives you youthful, luminous and radiant eyes! This is great for everyday use or for holiday partying!

Agatha Ruiz de la Prada Lip Balm

Don’t you just LOVE this cute tin filled with hearts? This all-time favorite Spanish brand Agatha Ruiz de la Prada lip balm moisturizes your lip with all natural ingredients.

VOV Wash Off Pack Berry & Berry

VOV Daily Fresh Mini Pack Wash Off Pack Berry and Berry contains rich Vitamin which revitalizes skin and prevents the formulation of melanin. The circulation of blood is also promoted, leaving skin moistened and radiant.

Apart from these brands you’ve seen, some featured brands include Suisse Programme, Clinique, Shiseido, Dermalogica and Benefit Cosmetics. Some, are not even found in Singapore!

I’ve seen a similar concept from BellaBox and Vanity Trove. Will I continue with the subscription? Maybe yes, maybe no. The only downside to this is you will never know what you will get and some products like the Cyber Colors Hand Cream can actually be found in Sasa. It would be better if most or even better, ALL of the products can’t be found at any of the drugstores here in Singapore.

What do you think of this concept and will you subscribe to it?
