Klarity Revival Bespoke Series

Cant believe it's been a year since I've last written! Life sure gets in the way sometimes 😂

My skincare has always been rotating around hydration and whitening products (even for my facials lol). But other than that, some days I just want to do some simple maintenance to just make sure that my skin is not aging as fast as I am HAHAHA 💁🏻

Naturally girls (ME 🙋‍♀️) get different skincare products to fix different skin concerns but seriously, it's costly & space-consuming (trust me - enough is enough when I look at my stash) 😂

Imagine the excitement in my eyes when I was presented the Klarity Revival Bespoke Mask Kit (Yayyyy 🙌🏻)

Dreamlash Lash Extensions

What are the three make up essentials that is your must-have?

Without any hesitation, here's mine:
Lipstick 💄
Eyeliner 💎
Foundation ✨

If you know me irl, you'd know that my make up is very much the same daily - a bunch of thick eyeliner with a signature flick paired with red lips. 👸👸👸


Sometime ago, many of my friends are showing me how fuss-free their eye make-up are as they've been putting on eyelash extensions.

So one day, I've done up enough research and decided that the time is NOW. 😆

It might seem like a menial decision but don't forget eyeliners are truly a non-disposable part of my life! I've heard that I won't be able to use eyeliner after, but now I know it isn't true. All I have to do is just change my makeup remover from oil based to water based!

So well, it has FINALLY happened! ✨✨✨

I'll go through with you the step by step of how this is being done! 

TEXTURE/TYPE

There's natural silk lashes, diamond silk, colourful lashes and more to choose from! You are only able to view the first two from their website, but trust me they have much much more~

It'd be good if you describe to the beautician what type of look you'd like to go for. If it's your first time, you can always ask them to give you some suggestions 😊

I picked Dreamlash Diamond Silk as it will give a illusion of the eyeliner effect. For this type of lashes, it is of even thickness throughout the whole length of the individual lash!

QUANTITY

Next, you can choose the number of strands of extensions that will be placed on your eyelashes! Starts from the basic number of 50 strands per eye for a natural look.

I went for 70 strands per eye as I'd like to go for a fuller lash look! 💃

Firstly, your eye make up will be removed. The beautician will check with you the length of the lashes that you would like to have. It ranges from 6 to 15mm. 

Mine suggested that I take either 11 or 12, so in the end we've decided I probably look better with a mixture of them haha

Surgical tape will then be placed on your eyes. Not only your eyes will remain close during the procedure, only your top lashes will be exposed  so that your lower lashes etc will not be in the way. No worries, these tapes will not hurt you~ 🙋

Glue are then put onto your eyelashes, you can feel that it's slightly cold. Expect a bit of fan action to make it even colder (but really, it's to dry the glue).

Once everything is comfortable for you and ready, the procedure starts! Strand by strands, your beautician will attach the extensions onto your natural lashes.

It does not hurt at all and to be honest, it was so comfortable I fell asleep. (Note to self: Not a good idea since I was wearing contacts) 😢

My beautician started from my right eye and moved on to the left.

As I have a total of  140 strands of extensions to be added on, it took about 1.5 hours for start to end!

After the procedure, just make sure that your lashes does not touch any water for the first 3 hours and try not to wash your face with warm/hot water if you usually do. A sponge and brush will be provided to help you take care of your lashes!

I was kind of shocked to open my eyes to this because I don't really have the habit of putting falsies. I guess the most I'd just put on mascara but this is SHOCKINGLY LONG to me hahaha


The inner corners of my eye are 11mm lashes while the outer corners are 12mm, to imitate a 'winged' eyeliner look! 👍


My eyes might look slightly reddish as I fell asleep with my contacts on 😲😲

Evidently in all my previous *selfie bombs* photos, eyeliner is undeniably the spot light. 

And yesss, perhaps I DO spend more money on eyeliners than foundation... 💸💸💸


Nothing more important than that thick black line across my eye 😅

Eyelashes on point ✔


This picture was taken on the day after the extensions was done.

Zero eye-makeup never looked better! 🙌🙌🙌


I AM TRULY IN LOVE WITH THE LOOK 😱😱😱

💛💚💙💜💛💚💙💜💛💚💙💜

Eyelashes still going strong ✔


Almost 2 weeks after the extension~


I've only been applying eyeshadow instead of my usual eyeliner this whole time!


Anyway, your lashes grows and falls within a cycle that spans from 30 to 60 days, so don't be surprise if your natural lash falls off together with the extension~ 😆

KLARITY Lasertox

Have you ever saw random strangers that you can't keep your eyes off because their facial features are soooooo gorgeous? Sometimes I see ladies with a perfectly chiseled face that I can't help but sneak glances at them. 

What's your face shape? If you are not sure, just pull back all your hair, and compare your face shape with the chart below.

Image Source

*Side note: Do you know Pinterest  has tons of makeup and hairstyling tips for all face shapes?*

When I was young, I had a round face with baby fats and I always thought my face would stay in a round shape, or at least look like my mum's. She has this perfect little heart shape face and it really defines her jawline prettily. 

I have no idea why, but after I hit puberty, I realized my face was becoming more and more squarish and it looks so manly lol. It's like when I tense my jaw, you can actually see the muscles moving and it's so urgh

That's the reason why I have always admired the ladies with a small little face.

In recent years, I have noticed many products are in the market and targets ladies who wants to have a more defined and 'sharper' chin. I was skeptical because the part that I'm unhappy about is my jaw, not the chin, so I doubt those creams are able to make any difference to my squarish face. 

But that is until I received the Klarity Lasertox V-line Shape Up and CC Miracle White Lotion to try out few months back!!


Klarity Lasertox V-line Shape Up

5 Days Intensive Treatment For Contoured Jaw-line with Silicone Slimming Belt

TONE . REFINE . FIRM

Product Description

• V-line toning & redefining of facial contour, with improved skin elasticity
• Reduced puffiness of face by improving drainage and water distribution throughout skin tissue
• Adenosine accelerates fat & double chin reducing process
• Unique acupuncture points on the belt exert pressure to help enhance facial blood circulation for a better result
• Use V-line Shape Up Cream after that to help restore the skin firmness to lift the face 
• Read More

Directions for Use

• Thoroughly cleanse and pat dry face. Place unfolded v-mask below the chin.
• Wrap silicone belt over chin-head, feeling the strain on jaw and cheek.
• Remove belt and mask after 30 minutes, massage remaining essence onto neck and chin.
• Complete routine with expert firming cream (included in the kit)

Klarity Lasertox CC Miracle White Lotion

SPF30/PA++ Sun Protection ( Paraben & Colorant Free )

Product Description

• 11-in-1 multi-functional benefits protects the skin from harmful UV rays & prevent dark spots

• Diamond powder gives instant glow after application
• Wild rosehip extract provides antioxidant properties that prolong skin youthfulness
• Restore beauty with at least one tone lighter whitening effect instantaneously
• Skin becomes smoother and moisturized without stickiness and shine
• Read More

Directions For Use

• Take adequate amount of lotion and blend evenly over the whole face with a gentle patting motion
• Apply in the same manner to neck and body
• The lotion will be absorbed, leaving a supple matte look.

Verdict

I did not expect my face shape to change much because I thought chins don't affect the jawline, but seriously. After using Klarity, my more defined chin actually makes my face looks sharper and not only does it diverts the attention from my jaw, it has successfully made my jaw look smaller with its firming effects!

 One thing I should have done was to do the measuring test but that totally slipped my mind. That way, I would have known how much exactly my face has changed but well, I can feel the change, so I'm happy enough!!

I love applying the Lasertox CC Miracle White Lotion every morning before make-up. There's no greasiness of any sort afterward and I love the smell! The V-Line Shape Up Cream that comes together with the slimming belt and V-Mask also smells really amazing! Unlike other heavy creams, this one has a serum texture that can be spread easily and is fast absorbing!

Selfie time~

Pardon the crappy front camera! These are all selfies I took after I have completed the 5 Day Intensive treatment with Klarity Lasertox V-Line Shape Up a few months ago. I feel that the picture in the middle is the most obvious picture of my more defined chin/jaw!

NIVEA's Revolution

December's finally here! The last month to complete (or start) your resolution you promised yourself 11 months ago~

For me, this year has been a really hectic year and there's one resolution that I hadn't been working on much.. And that is to master ukulele. I still can't grasp which strings to hold for which chord :/

Busy bees need to save time as much as possible!! In order to save time, I love surfing on the net short-cut ways to do things. 

Remember there was this Japanese reality show that has contestants coming up with ways to do things quick, and awe the judges?? haha

So.... I found a time-saver recently!! All along I have been using body lotion after bathing but nowadays, I realized that I do not have the time to wait for my lotion to be absorbed or stop being greasy. So most days, I'm either feeling too lazy or forget to apply my body lotion!

How To Use

Use in the morning and night. Massage over skin, steering clear of eye area. Rinse with warm water.

My Review
My very first thought - Wow, it really does smells of mushroom!! haha
I find that the cleanser did not really feel nice on my skin and it was kind of sticky and hard to apply on. 







Advanced Face Serum

Description
This potent serum is fortifies with Sea Buckhorn plus skin-repairing Reishi, irritant-soothing Chaga and Cordyceps mushrooms - long used in Chinese medicine to heal, promote longevity and improve health.

My Review
It has a herb-like smell, which reminds me of the SkinFood Agave Cactus Toner. It is absorbed into my skin quickly and I always have smooth and soft skin when I leave the serum on overnight!

Research shows that numerous factors including pollution, UV light, stress and diet contribute to damage that weakens skin's moisture.  

In order to combat these factors, you need a multi-targeted approach - Origins Mega-Mushroom Skin Relief Advanced Face Serum

My Review
Smells nice and hydrate my skin really well! It's better to use this only at night because it gets a tad 'oily'.
