*HOT BODS ALERT* -- SUGAR Singapore's 1 Year Anniversary Party!

Hellooo! Okay, I gotta first admit that this is a pretty long overdue post because the event was in July hahaha *oops* but still~~ better late than never, righttt? :p So yes, my friends & I were invited to SUGAR Singapore's <Pop My Cherry> 1 Year Anniversary Party! I've always heard about Sugar but don't really know what they do or how the app exactly works. So for those who don't know... 

Sugar is a mobile app which you can look at as an interactive city guide to explore and experience Singapore for what it really is! Discover new and exciting places from restaurants/cafes to fashion to beauty to major events & festivals etc etc! What I like most about Sugar is their idea of helping small local businesses get discovered through their platform which is great and definitely worth mentioning! :)

Here's a short video that summarizes what Sugar is and how it works. (You're welcome!)

Now back to the party, here are some photos that I've taken myself + grabbed from Sugar's Facebook album! Enjoy~ ;)
Thanks to Joy & Ben for the invite!
Color-matched my outfit to fit the pop art theme ;)

Review: KOSE Sekkisei Clear Whitening Mask

Hellooo! So, my sleeping habits have been pretty horrible recently.. :( I've been sleeping at 2am plus that kind?? If I'm really tired then 1am plus is the "earliest"... OMG! I totally get that this is sooo bad for my health!! I don't know why but my brain is just so active at night, so even when I'm on my bed I'd been watching videos or looking at social media stuffs etc... They say cultivating a good habit takes 21 days right? But I think for me a bad habit just needs 1 day, seriously! T_T 

Anyways, what's even more saddening is that my face condition has also been affected as a result of my late night sleep. My face looks dull and pimples are popping out as and when they like... I know I need to work on improving my lifestyle habits BUT I also felt an urgent need to "save" my face at the same time. So after reading lots of reviews online, I decided to purchase the KOSE Sekkisei Clear Whitening Mask from Qoo10! (PS: Before you buy anything on Qoo10, remember to read the reviews to check on authenticity of the seller and products!)
What it does: Black peel-off whitening mask that unclogs pores and removes dead surface cells. Instantly lifts away dullness to reveal smoother, more refined skin. It helps to minimize the appearance of dark spots for a radiant, even-toned complexion.
What to take note before applying the mask!
Notice the wet look after I apply the mask. It will gradually turn matt and dry before peeling it off.
It's not easy to apply an "even layer" but just try your best! Remember to avoid your eyebrows and hairline if not it may be gone when you peel it off!
Something that I felt no one mentioned when I was researching on this mask is that...
THE PAIN OF PEELING IS REAL, no joke! :X
Lol maybe everyone is too focused on the end result so didn't bother talking about the pain haha. I mean yes, it will hurt when you "peel" something off your skin but at least a warning is better than nothing right? Haha I wasn't warned so I literally went ouchhh on my first peeling attempt haha. So I tell you first ok! ;)
Some people experienced trouble peeling off the mask as a whole, but I felt that mine was quite alright. So I think as long as you apply the mask well, it will help a lot during the peeling process!

I bought it for around $26, which is much cheaper than retail stores (around $35 if I'm not wrong? Agar agar ok haha) My face did feel much smoother and "cleaner" which is what I wanted haha! I think it's good to use this mask once a week or once every 2 weeks. I've only used it twice and so far so good. Hope it continues to unclog my pores and removes all my dead surface cells over time! :D

With love,
Shirley
