good things must share! - hada labo review

August 11, 2010 in Uncategorized by yirong | No comments

fr3b (now known as the sample store) asked if i wanna try out hada labo products for FREE
and of course i immediately agreed!

“hada” in japanese means skin and “labo” is simply the short for laboratory
“skin laboratory” (hada labo) is a skincare line from japan
and to emphasize simplicity in its skincare process
colorant, fragrance, mineral oil and other addictives that will burden ur skin are removed from all its products!
so its suitable even for sensitive skin like mine~

and so..
i receoved my free products in a plain simple box like this!

the products are nicely wrapped as well

no fancy packaging just simple white bottle and tube
i have gotten 2 products from the super hyaluronic acid (SHA) hydrating range~
1 gram of hyaluronic acid can retain up to 6 litres of water
hada labo super hyaluronic acid can hold twice the amount~
its no wonder their tag line:
“one drop locks up an ocean”

first i have got SHA hydrating face wash~

1. lather with water to foam up the cleanser
2. massage lightly onto face in a circular motion
3. rinse with warm water

and tada!

i like it that it has no fragrance
i like it that it doesnt make my skin feel tight
means it doesnt dry up my skin~
i like it that it makes my skin feels clean and fresh and comfortable~

the second sponsored product is their best seller
SHA hydrating lotion!

it was also recommended by 女人我最大

1 sold every 4 seconds in japan!
japan has got countless beauty and skincare products
and if it can even get so popular in japan
it must be really good!
and i cant wait to try~
here’s a tvc in japan

1. 3-4 drops onto palm
2. lightly pat onto face until fully absorbed
(dun have to pat so hard as the girl in the video thats just exaggerating! haha)

instructions say that the lotion is to be used daily morning and night
but i feel that it requires too much time to pat the lotion until absorbed
u can only do it when you have like 5-8mins!
the texture of the lotion changes from wet -> sticky -> smooth!
as i am always rushing in the morning
i only use it at night and have to be extremely patient haha =X
but but the results are good!
initially i thought it might be too nourishing for ppl with oily skin
as my nose gets (feels) abit oily
however i dun get any new breakouts from it
and the old breakouts didnt get worse as well
the skin really got the ‘boing boing’ feeling like the girl in the tvc =)
guess the only thing i didnt like was the sticky/heavy texture
takes alot of time to get absorbed and the skin feels light again!

and guess what??
you can get these samples for freeeeeeee as well!
simply sign up at thesamplestore
and you can redeem 3 free samples straight away!!

other than hada labo products
there are also hundreds of other products of popular brands
just pay a postage fee and they send the products right to ur door steps =)

GET TO KNOW THE REAL ME!

August 3, 2010 in Uncategorized by admin | No comments

~*~*~*~*~*~

HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR OWN HAPPINESS?

I was such an emotional girl who was always trying to appear bubbly and cheerful in front of others. However sadly, the bubbles and cheers didn’t last longer than the first impression. As you get closer to me, you might soon be feeling drained by my waves of extreme emotions.

No, I wasn’t depressed. But…

CLICK: How did I live my own life?

~*~*~*~*~*~

WANT TO KNOW THE REAL ME?

Want to know when I started blogging? What is it about blogging that keeps me motivated to continue after all these years? How do I juggle work and play?

What do I answer to the above questions?

aftershock movie review

July 30, 2010 in Uncategorized by yirong | No comments

watched “After Shock” (唐山大地震) with xp at GV Max on monday

thanks to omy!
its really a great great show that will surely move many to tears!

directed by feng xiao gang
after shock is a movie about the earthquake that happened in tangshan 34years ago
the 7.8 earthquake which took more than 24000 lives on 28 july 1976

the earthquake happened right at the beginning of the movie
buildings shattered within seconds
thousands of lives destroyed

however the movie is not just about the earthquake
its about how people picked themselves up after such a huge disaster
how people moved on with life and left behind the emotional trauma..

after the earthquake
a mother was informed that her twins were trapped under the same slab
while saving one means almost immediately kill another
after her husband’s death in the earthquake
she had to make the most difficult decision of her life
in the end she chose the son
and the girl who was awake heard the decision and teared..

however the girl miraculously survived
suffering from the painful memories of her mother’s choice
she refused to reveal who she was

she was then adopted by a military couple
grew up in a comfortable environment
and married to canada later on

on the other hand
the brother who was saved lost an arm
and the mother who had to sacrifice her daughter
lived in the painful decision forever

in 2008, another earthquake happened in sichuan
the twins who were miles apart decided to join the rescue team
and finally met again in sichuan
going through the earthquake once again from a third party’s view
the girl finally found forgiveness in her mother
and reunited with her real family

in 23 seconds, tangshan earthquake changed everything
the ‘aftershock’ remained in the hearts of the victims throughout their lives
32 years later
only then they lived out of the emotional trauma

“A human drama about finding forgiveness, ‘Aftershock’ depicts not only the fatal tragedy that is brought on by natural disaster of great levels but also the strength and courage that is demonstrated when we are in face of extreme and devastating situations.”

more than 50% of the audience left the cinema sobbing
yes and that including me *sobs*

“没了，才知道什么是没了”

“小震不用跑；大震你要跑也跑不了”

“亲人永远是亲人”

catch the show in all cinemas now!!

chicadale~ + MFP

May 25, 2010 in MFP, advertorial, chicadale, collection 2, myfatpocket by yirong | No comments

you know what?

myfatpocket is updated daily

and we are going through a prettier facelift (yet again!)

we are also theme based

so you will never get bored even if you visit our site everyday~

check it out now to see what we have in store for you this couture month~ =)

——————————————————————————-

did a shoot for chicadale last saturday for their 2nd collection
alot of sorries i wanna say!
firstly i was late cos of jam =(
and i was sick when i did my shoot
so towards the end i was looking tired and all
but i had so much fun still~
pei si was really nice
kept on reminding me to drink water throughout the shoot
thanks girl! =)

collection 2 just launched on sunday~
wanted to bring home almost every single piece =P
shall wait for my pay =P

now lets take a look at the pretty clothes~

i am not someone who would wear bandage dress
but this piece is really nice~

its super comfortable

casual yet chic enough to wear to school~

comes in light blue as well as baby pink!

ok didnt know i can look so cute wahaha =P

pink~ so versatile it can be a top as well~

geeky rong haha

and love this shirt dress its so sexy~

yet a hint of cuteness with that slightly puffy sleeves~

and this gotta be my favourite!

love it so much that i took it home for myself

thanks chicadale~

oops that was a candid shot when i was not ready..
just love how these two-piece match so well together

and totally dig the back design~

for once you can wear horizontal stripes and not look FAT in it <3

another piece of sexy dress~
comes in black, blue and grey

only left last piece for grey!
grab yours quick!

xp loves this dress as well
its a super sweet dress

soooo tempted to bring this home!
but the top part is a little too tight for me
(well my frame is not exactly.. erhem.. small.. my shoulders are huge as i did alot of sports.. so shld be fine for most girls of average build =)

and the back is so subtly sexy!
totally love it la~

it looks nice on its own even without my belt =)

another piece of classy dress for the ladies =)

these satin laced dresses were my love at first sight!
i was excited abt them the moment i stepped in the changing room
and saw these pretty laced dresses hanging inside =)
comes in blue, grey and champagne~

the cutting is perfect to achieve the slimming effect =)

such a demure and sexy dress!

grey and champagne had a tough fight
and i still couldnt decide which is my fav between the both of them
so in the end did i choose any of them?
shall see =P

i am so lady-like!
(although frens who know might not agree.. well the dress makes me lady~ =)

chicadale brought in this gorgeous pair of tailored denim pants too~

i am not a fan of long pants at all
but this cutting is really flattering to be able to make my fat legs look acceptable =P

and for the OLs
this sweet darling is for you~
its made of quality chiffon and available in pink and black (as shown in the pic aft this =)

and i love love love the cutting of this high waist skirt!
now only available in grey
hope they bring in black next time which is easier to match with most of my white office tops!
hehe
(even smsed pei si in the middle of the night to ask if there is black =P)

personally i really enjoyed working with pei si and deon
i think two of them are really capable!
unlike most blogshops just started with home-taken low quality pictures with poor lightings
they started with studio shoot from the beginning
to ensure that the customers see the details of what they are buying from these clearer pics
moreover they hand picked all their clothes for all the collections
so quality is a guarantee and i can witness that! =)
i do not do shoots/advertorials to feed myself
most of the time its just for fun
and i do it only if i really like it
babes see it for yourselves here =)
