Garnier Men!! Oh My, It’s Lee Hom!!

Posted by: sweetbeautydelights on: December 8, 2009

Ever wished that your boyfriend is HIM??!!

(Ok ok, let’s be realistic…let me change my question… ;P)

Ever wished that your boyfriend looks like LEE HOM??!!

(Duh?! This possiblity is not any much higher lor…-_-)

But your boyfriend really can have something in common with LEE HOM…and I’m not lying!!

Taaaaaaaa-DAAAAAAAAA~~!!!!!!

CONGRATS TO LEE HOM!! For being the latest spokesperson of Garnier Men!

Yes, Garnier is going to launch a new series of skincare products exclusively for the male species out there!! (Who says skincare is only for gals like us?? Hehe…)

Seriously I cannot tahan it when men around me don’t groom themselves…They don’t have to look ultra good like Takeshi, Louis Koo, Daniel Wu or Lee Hom…They don’t have to be clad in expensive clothes…But the least that they can do is to keep themselves well-groomed, and most imptly, neat and clean right??

A lot of guys don’t pay attn to their skin, and believe me, oily skin really does turn gals off lor! (i can feel a lot girls nodding at this point!)

Oily hair, oily skin…..OH MY.

So whether you (guys) are looking for a product for yourself or you (gals) are exploring options for your men, you know you’ve gotten another choice out there in the market!

Oily skin needs to be deep-cleansed. This OilClear series has oil-regulating minerals and salicyclic acid to regulate sebum production and keeps the skin matte all day long without drying the skin. Other ingredients in the range include Mineral Clay, Cryo-Menthol, and microbeads that help to unclog pores.

 

If not, the AquaFuel Series might suit you!

Your skin constantly needs hydration, be it oily, dry or normal skin. Once the sebum/moisture balance in your skin is upset, skin problems such as acne occur. Hence, hydration for the skin is extremely impt!

AquaFuel taps on the green performance of green tea, ginseng extract, caffeine and pro-vitamin B5. A light and refreshing formula, it detoxifies and hydrates the skin all day long!

Green tea extract is a source of anti-oxidant known for its detoxifying properties to help protect the skin from external aggressions. Ginseng is known for its stimulating properties that helps to eliminate signs of fatigue and dullness.

I especially like this picture! The water splashing against the product! So fresh and so clean clean~~!! :)

 

And I’m actually surprised that they have this~!

Eye Roll-On! WOW! But I guess guys won’t bring it out lah~ Only stay at home and roll roll roll lor~ Hehe…

Garnier Men will be launched only on 26 December 2009! Boxing Day!

So if my latest beauty blog entry made you 心痒痒。。。不好意思哦!

Hehe…

Remember, you got the latest news from SweetBeautyDelights!

Stay tuned for more beauty updates! :)

佳节期间,有很多的party要参与吧?经常变换发型的你是否担心头发会越来越粗糙干涩呢?除了日常的洗发,护发之外,使用可让你从根部开始滋润头发的发膜也是重要的保养步骤哦!

草莓牛奶发膜可保养头皮,有效地补充秀发所需要的维生素,促进头发的健康生长,并具有保湿滋润的效果。

首先把5颗草莓洗净去蒂,然后打成泥。再把2颗维生素E胶囊刺破,加入草莓糊中。接着把小半杯牛奶慢慢倒进搅拌均匀。你也可加入适量的小麦粉,调整发膜的粘稠度,以方便使用。

把头洗干净后,用毛巾吸至半干。将发膜涂在发上,充分的按摩头皮。最后用热毛巾把头发包起,套上浴帽,等大约15到20分钟后就可把头发洗干净了。

Majolica Majorca Chapter 25 (part 2)

Posted by: sweetbeautydelights on: November 24, 2009

okie, so other than eye and lip make-up, what else is there for u to shimmer at the fabulous party??

Introducing “All Night Compact” (Limited Edition)!

As u can see, this is a compact powder. But unlike other pressed powder that gives maximum coverage, this one provides instant shimmer upon application! Thus u’ll see tiny specks of glitter on ur face once u apply it with the intricate lace-trimmed puff provided! (The puff looks very nice hor? Hehe…so girly!) The compact powder gives the skin a bright, translucent finish…It shld also smoothen ur skin and conceal imperfections at the same time! :)

Don’t worry, it’s not like those huge painful specks of glitter that u use for ur project! (I hate it when those things get into my eyes…super painful!) I understand that many girls have such concern…I used to think that way too…*so embarrassing!*

Such make-up shimmer is not 夸张 at all…not macham like getai lah~ Such shimmering powder are usually subtle to give a slight shimmer, and will be visible only upon close scrutiny. With its tiny glitter specks, such products are supposed to make ur skin smooth and radiate when the party lights occasionally shine on ur face! It’s kinda the final touch if u wanna stand out in the crowd.. ;)

On the other hand, if u r not used to putting subtle shimmer over ur whole face, u can do what i did. Use a brush and sweep the powder along ur nose bridge. With the slight shimmer and under light, ur nose bridge will appear to be higher. 鼻子会比较挺哦!Tried and tested, it works. :) Use it as a highlight!

Personally, I prefer to use a brush cos it picks up a small amount of powder and u can top it up layer by layer or expand the highlighted area one step at a time…No matter if it’s eyeshadow, blusher, contouring powder, make sure u dun put a lot at one go! It’s difficult to brush off the powder and rectify the solution…A little at a time will do…Add on more if u think it isn’t enough…

Perhaps the same will go for this! “Secret Lingerie”!

Wow, it sounds so sexy hor??!! Sexy Secret Lingerie leh…hehe…

This is a scented body moisturiser with a tinge of glitter! Perfect if u wanna show off ur shoulders, decolletage…Not only does it make ur skin glow, the moisturising effect makes ur skin feel silky-smooth and its ripe figs scent will allow u to attract more suitors bah…Hehe… Especially u wear a tube dress to parties/dinners, this will be a nice touch to glam it up!

All of the Majolica Majorca products mentioned in the two entries are new in the market, and are all of limited edition. Especially for X’mas! Suit ur needs if u wanna look glam at different parties!

要漂亮,就要花心思啰!;P

Majolica Majorca – Chapter 25! (Part 1)

Posted by: sweetbeautydelights on: November 23, 2009

What was in that round box in the previous entry??  Was it a yummy cake?? *yum yum*

I shall share this anecdote with you. :P The receptionist told my intern that it was a cake, thus my intern kept it in the fridge and dropped me an email that there was a cake addressed to me. Completely bewildered by the content of the email, I dropped by the office the following day to retrieve my “gift”. Upon opening up the parcel, I realised that it wasn’t food for my tummy, but fabulous “garnish” for my face!! (So imagine that I had nice cold powder and eyeshadow in my hands at that moment!! Never-had-before feeling!! Haha!!)

Kudos to the Shiseido team who never fails to shower me with pleasant surprises!! Remember the last time which I’ve received a miniature dressing table from them? It was such a sweet surprise! This time round, I had my gfs gushing over the nice parcel and couldn’t wait to unveil the mystery!

After revealing the various chapters which had “wow-ed” lotsa girls over the years, Majolica Majorca is proud to present Chapter 25!

 

If you can vaguely make out the words on the little booklet in the 1st pix, you shld see “Mademoiselle Midnight”…sounds kinda nice and romantic right? Hehe… (P.S. notice the black lace at the bottom of the cover page? Black lace is really IN now…go for black lace dresses this season! I have one and another black lace cardigan that goes well with anything…worthwhile investment!)

As we all happily know, the year-end season is coming…lotsa parties for you and your gfs to attend…surely, new make-up would further lift your delighted mood! :)

So what exactly has Majolica Majorca in store for you?

Marjolica Majorca is going for bold lips and intense smokey eyes for you this season! Thus you can see the palette of 2 lip glosses and eyeshadows that would give you THE LOOK!

Two different colour themes for you to look out for:

1) Provocative Red (Limited Edition)

Metallic Silver to blend over the entire eye area for glamorous sparkling colour, and Shimmery Black to outline eyes for defined and noticeable eyes.

Glistening Pink nuance for luscious-looking lips. Bold Red lip gloss for a seductive, pouty look!

 

 Just in case you are intimidated by the strong look, of cos this is just a dramatic version of what the palette can create. When it comes to make-up, it’s really of more how daring you are ready to go, and how well your make-up skills are…I’m sure you can create a more subtle version to suit your very own needs…

Ok, ready for the 2nd look?? It’s called “Girly Enchanting Purple” (limited edition)!

 

This look focuses on pink lips and mysterious mauve eyes to enchant! ;)

Sweet Lavender to blend over the entire eye area for a touch of feminity, and Mysterious Mauve to outline eyelids.

Brilliant Violet nuance with hints of shimmer, and Girly Pink lip gloss for playful glossy lips!

 

Like the different party looks??

Another two of Majolica Majorca’s new products in the next blog entry to keep you updated of what’s new in the market!

Stay tuned! ;)

Make-up Tips from《女人我最大》!

Posted by: sweetbeautydelights on: November 19, 2009

I’m on 1.5 wk leave from today onwards! Yeah! Which means more time to update my blog…been so busy to an extent that I’m working more than 12 hrs per day (including working from home)!

I buy 《女人我最大》magazine on a regular basis. Just in case u aren’t sure of what 《女人我最大》is all about – it’s a popular beauty programme in Taiwan hosted by 篮心湄, with renowned beauty experts like Kevin,牛尔, etc as guests…Its popularity soared in the past few years, and it led to the birth of 《女人我最大》magazine, whereby they share useful beauty tips and appeal to the audience who want a beauty “bible” at hand…I think it’s published every 3 mths…The copy that I have now is the 秋季号 with 陈怡蓉 (from 《光阴的故事》on SCV now every evening at 7pm) as the cover girl…

From now on, I’ll try to update my beauty blog with useful tips from 《女人我最大》magazine, which I hope, ultimately, will benefit u too!

Here’s the first article which I’m gonna share! Make-up tips and the latest make-up in the market! :) Enjoy!!

爱美丽talks abt e formation of big pores…

Posted by: sweetbeautydelights on: November 15, 2009

最近,我爱美丽的朋友在抱怨年纪越大,毛孔也跟着变大。

其实除了年龄之外,很多其他因素都可能引起毛孔粗大的问题,例如:性别、遗传体质、角质细胞代谢不良、皮肤油脂分泌和毛孔阻塞等。

一般上,油脂分泌较多的人毛孔较大。污垢和死皮屑容易阻塞毛孔,导致皮肤油脂的排出受到阻碍。不能被顺利排出的油脂就会撑大毛囊皮脂腺通道,久之导致毛孔粗大。所以定期地深层清洁及去角质就变得更为重要了。

值得注意的是:许多女性随着年龄的增长,毛孔逐渐因肌肤松弛开始下陷,原来的圆形毛孔变得日趋椭圆,视觉上啊就会有扩张和粗大现象,也会令已经出现的粗大毛孔和黑头粉刺更明显了。

爱美丽talks abt blackheads…(part 2)

Posted by: sweetbeautydelights on: November 10, 2009

还记得几个月前我和你分享了利用苏打粉和纯净水去黑头的方法吗?节目播出后,依然有许多朋友不断地询问哦!所以,爱美丽我继续打听其他的天然小配方,不但可去除黑头,还能同时达到美肤效果!希望这些都对你有帮助哦!

第一个方法:利用珍珠粉!取适量珍珠粉放入小碟中,加入适量清水,将珍珠粉调成膏状,均匀地涂在黑头处,再用手指按摩。等到珍珠粉变干,再用清水洗净就行了!

另外,听过盐和奶的搭配吗?用几滴牛奶加上盐,在盐半溶解状态下开始用来按摩。记得,不要按摩得太用力。半分钟后用清水洗去,不能太久哦。

不管利用什么方法,都要紧记,去黑头时千万不要用尖的东西挖,也不要擅自挤压,否则可能会损害皮肤组织,造成皮肤损伤哦!

Cure Natural Aqua Gel…Does it work anot huh??

Posted by: sweetbeautydelights on: November 3, 2009

I’ve never been fond of exfoliating…though I know it’s impt to remove the dead skin cells for radiant skin and to better absorb the skincare products that would be applied thereafter.

I came across this product a few mths ago, while I was flipping a magazine and couldn’t wait to get my hands on it! Ok I admit, I’m a sucker for Jap products…anything that is branded from Japan and a best-seller, I’ll just gladly spend on it. Hehe…Thus I spent $38 on this right away without even checking out any online reviews…

cure2

Apparently this has been a bestseller for the past 7 yrs in Japan. 1 bottle sold every 20 secs! Unlike other exfoliants, it has no granules or particles which means any possible skin irritation is reduced to a minimum…it’s very watery, not creamy like other brands…cos it’s made of 90% revitalized hydrogen water (not sure wat tat means)…and when u rub it on ur skin, u r supposed to see white particles forming and it means that ur dead skin cells r removed…

I went online and realised that a lot of ppl think it’s good…numerous of positive reviews…but when I use it, I don’t get A LOT OF white particles…only some, and it’s only when I’ve rubbed it on my skin for a few minutes. And the thing is, even if the white particles r e dead skin cells, I’m uncertain if they r from my face or my fingers…=P hmmm, u get wat i mean?

I’ve read online…apparently the gel is supposed to stay on my skin to react with the dead skin cells first, before I start massaging…Ok, maybe I left out that step lor…

But the good thing is, it doesn’t cause irritation…I’ve used other brands and due to the granules in it, it’s usu harsher on skin…and feels over-drying. That’s the reason why I rarely use exfoliants. And this one is really mild…but to the extent that I dunno if it actually works. =P Oh no, did I waste my $38??

hmmm, have u tried it? Tell me if it works for u leh…
