Fabulous Friday

July 31, 2009October 21, 2017by xoxojeneenLeave a Comment

Met the always lovely Jasmine for late afternoon coffee today at a cafe (I forgot the name of the place…-_-) at the spanking new Ion. I like Ion. It’s got all my favourite brands under one roof. I expect it to overtake my previous luv, Ngee Ann City really soon. Opps, did I say “previous” already?…Nothing lasts forever!

Finally satisfied my fries cravings from the night before. Not exactly the conventional type of french fries, but these will do. They were rather yummy.

Fries fries fries…I’m hooked on fries!

(I have to interrupt and say that my internet connection is SO slow!! It’s taking forever to load my pictures…grrr…)

Ok, back to “fabulous friday,”…didn’t intend to do any shopping today, but I couldn’t resist Steve Madden. It’s my favourite shoe brand when I used to fly to LA often! So happy that we’ve finally got a store here in Singapore!! 🙂 My loyalty to Pedder Red (another of my favourite shoe brand) is going to be tested. Again, nothing lasts forever!

Yayyyy!! New sandals!! I cannot resist shoes or sandals with a slight wedge. 🙂

Lovely Jasmine tea…only because, I always meet her up for tea. Haha. (Corniness) I am looking a tad pale in the picture…all that whitening products must be working?!

Bought these bunch of stuff today in the name of good skin. And that Avene skin calming cream…to hopefully clear up the red patch left over from that scar patch!! (refer to previous post). Yes, my skin is still red! And turning slightly brown in fact…I think bits of my skin peeled off together when the scar was being removed. Rawhhhhhh!!!

…

And, the highlight of today! – Alex’s photo studio opening party! Met friends whom I haven’t seen in ages. Desmond, Weilie, Yahui, Jackson, Jiayi, Elaine, and Alex of course. It was so nice to see everyone again and catch up! :)))))

Group shot I. I’m like so small! I need to stand on an apple box…or remember to tip toe the next time I take a shot with them. Haha.

Complete group shot II. Good luck with all that you’re all doing guys! Luv!! xxx

Scarred!

I got beaten up! :p

This photo was taken yesterday, during an imaging session for an upcoming show. It took over 9 hours of trying on clothes, make-up changes and scar changes to finally set the look right. We switched from “scar on face from hot water” to “scar on face from a knife”. I should have taken a photo of the “scars” from hot water.

The scars are done by make-up putty and other special effects stuff and it’s darn painful to remove them from the face!! My skin is still red and sore from removing the scars yesterday. 😦 Ouch. Applying lots of calming creams and toners now to soothe it away.

Tip!

I tend to have blackheads forming on my nose. After asking around for tips to clear them, I got these:-

A friend passed me this advice from a dermatologist. “Do not put any moisturiser on your nose if you’re prone to having blackheads clog the pores there.”

It made sense, because blackheads often form because of excess oil secreted by glands in the skin. So, less oil (from the moisturiser) equates to less blackheads, right?

Another recommendation from a friend, is a “Pro Sebum Gel” from the brand “B’liv.” The gel contains tea tree oil and salicylic acid that softens and clears blackheads. It’s the brand’s No.1 product. (This product is available at SaSa.)

B’liv blackhead remover gel

I’m going to stop moisturising my nose, and probably get the gel. I’ll let you all in on how it’s working soon. And maybe you’ll like to try it too…so you’ll always be able to put your best, blackhead-less “nose” forward! 🙂
