Satisfying

Have you ever wonder why some people have marvelous beautiful skin? I'm pretty sure that they are not born with it but because they bother to do enough skin care to keep their skin youthful and healthy.Well, 1'm getting nearer to the BIG-THREE-O and I'm certainly afraid of aging.

Besides, getting regular facial (cleaning for my clog pores), I have been hydrating myself a lot (at least 2.5 litres/day) and hydrating my skin as well. I have hypersensitive skin and that causes much dryness on my skin and i really need to be careful when choosing facial products i.e free from alcohol components or just probably minimal of it. I used products that are just purely hydrating - like 95% aqua, even my make up remover is aqua base and alcohol free.

Apart from my regular alternate day Shirobi Tsubaki Collagen drink, I make an effort to put on hydrating mask every other day. Well, the reason I'm doing so because my beauty consultant told me that my skin is way too dry to do any treatment involving chemicals like whitening or peels.  To my horror, that is the reason why i get hypersensitive skin too *sobs Sobs*

You might not be able to see from the pictures but i do have really fine freckles all over my cheek and my lower eyelids. I hope in time to come i will be able to do some laser or whitening treatment to lighten up the spots. Not for cosmetic purposes but i am just afraid that my freckles will turn into cherry hemangioma in a long run ( i love exposing myself to the sun).
-don't ask me why my left eye is smaller than my right, i just woke up lah!-

The picture above is the result of a combination of INTENSIVELY - collagen drinking and hydration ( drinking and putting on masks) after a month. I only put on sunscreen - making sure i get good coverage for from UV. Well, i got pretty much fairer from the collagen drink apart from applying sunscreen on face and body.  I noticed by consuming Shirobi Tsubaki collagen drink, my overall skin condition has improved tremendously, not just on my face but my body as well! I did not apply any make up , just 95% aqua base gel moisturiser  + clear gel sunscreen and my hair is still wet.. hahah. FYI, my brows too.. it's just really good embroidery done. I was extremely happy for sure.. and you can actually compare my skin to my previous blog post HERE and see how to transform from dull and tired looking skin to glowing dewy and healthy skin :)

P/s : not sure if you notice? I lose weight using products from Shirobi too:). Will share more in near future.

Novalash at Emmy's


I've been the person who has set my alarm at 5:30am in the morning most of the time (because of my shift work) and basically rush myself to work with huge effort making myself look "awake" and be pretty but i found an easier option to that.... *drum roll* eyelash extensions.

Eyelash extensions really do transform you from BLAH to WOW in an instant.


Well if you have been following my blog, you would have read about my previous post on Novalash. I would say that I'm a very satisfied client after getting my Novalash extension from Emmy's Beauty.

Just a short intro onto my stylist profile.

Emmy's Beauty uses both NovaLash sensitive adhesive and NovaLash Platinum Bond Adhesives to cater to each individual eyes condition and preference.




According to Emmeline, she did a full lash extension on me in which  she uses a combination of 8mm, 10mm,12mm,and even 14mm (optional) length to blend in to create the Hollywood look on me. Approximately, she took about 1 and a half hours to put a full set of extensions on me. The whole process was very comfortable and painless. Regular touch-up or refill around 3 weeks later is recommended in which the old extensions will be removed and new extensions will be applied to any new lash growth.

Get Glamourous

Mascara make you eyes look better and there's no question about that but lash extension is one of the most common tool for celebrities to make their eyes look a little more glamorous. Hereby introducing NOVALASH® from United States 



So, what exactly is NOVALASH®?
It is a new way to extend the length and thickness of natural lashes where they make it in a glamorous way. It's fuller, practical, convenient and an alternative to daily mascara. 
Because of every single synthetic lash is bonded to every single natural lash, the final result look way too real and difficult to detect even on close up! As it is glued onto the root of your natural lashes, so as your natural lashes falls off on its own, so do the NOVALASH® extensions. What makes this brand so popular is that, eyelash extensions have to be applied onto your lash line only by a certified NOVALASH® professional. Unlike normal falsies where you apply a row onto or above your lash line  that will cause certain skin irritation. 


How long does it last?
Well, i did a full set application and usually it is recommended to have touch-ups after the initial application to just refill any lashes that have cycled out. Many of you have questioned that how long does the lashes really last? NovaLash properly applied using NOVALASH® brand Platinum Bond Adhesive and lashes can last up to 2 months usually and worn throughout the year with minimal 2 monthly maintenance. If you are a fan of full and thick appearance, a new set of lashes will be put on during your visit to your NOVALASH® professional and it is recommended every 4 weeks based on your own natural lash growth cycle. The adhesive was shown to be 4 times as effective as the leading competitor  in the market in terms of strength , durability,pigmentation,texture and most importantly the curls of the lashes.


Is it comfortable?
If you are afraid of your lashes gets too heavy after NOVALASH®  the answer is fear not. NOVALASH® is really light weighted and the application technique by lash professional allows natural lashes to grow and thrive with extensions. Definitely will not interrupt the growth cycle of lashes.


I remember i did a water test right after the application was done and I was so surprised that the lashes was all good with water dripping down my eyes and the best part, your eyes doesn't burn. Its was really comfortable even during the application process and after. I'm not really a big fan of mascara unless I really have to put them on. Having mascara to be put onto my oily lids does not help at all. They get smudge, and it gets into your eyes at times and worst still if i cry, you'll see them dripping down my cheek and I'll look disastrous. Good thing thing is, NOVALASH® on you almost make your eyes looked perfect ( as good as you put on thick mascara on a daily basis). But of course, if you want to, water-soluble mascara can be worn. However, constant use of mascara may shorten the life span of your lashes. eeeeks! 



I bet its gonna be hard to care for the lashes....
Absolutely not! How hard is it to brush your hair everyday? and some even brush it 2-3 times. Same goes for NOVALASH®  nightly conditioning is essential to maximize the life of the extensions. NOVALASH® have their own mascara as well. Just by using a lash wand to comb the lashes free of tangles is just what you need to do everyday. 




Alternatively you can use this 3-in-1 conditioner.cleanser& makeup remover pads to clean lashes by NOVALASH®. Highly recommended to use their mascara while you are using NOVALASH®  This mascara from NOVALASH® is glycol and carbonate free mascara that is specifically formulated for use on extensions without interfering the adhesive. 

Where can I get them done?

What do you think about the resulting look?

Personally, I think the lashes look great on me! Definitely gave me the doe-eyed look and I can go out without using and eyeliner or mascara. The lash itself is permanently curled so i skip the step of curling my lashes as well, on days when I'm feeling lazy. 














NOVALASH® gave me the instant diva look for sure. Get your lashes done now with Emmeline.
