Elizabeth Arden's new fragrance Red Door Aura

Red has been my favourite colour for the past 2 years or so, so you can tell I especially love Elizabeth Arden get togethers because I get to gush about the colour red even more. Okay now I sound a little crazy. Haha.

We met at Cedele, (Raffles city shopping centre) for brunch with 10 girls. It felt like a morning bachelorette  party or something haha.

The theme was Code Red, which explains my red bodycon dress for brunch! Most of the girls didn't realize the theme on the invite though. I was the only one in a red dress. Oops.

Didn't know if people were ordering mains or brunch... but the apple cinnamon pancakes were screaming out at me from the menu... Just HAD to get that. Added an extra scrambled egg because I need eggs in my life. Accompanied with freshly squeezed orange juice and my brunch was complete.

Think Yina and Julie were pretty unhappy with their beef stew though, and with good reason. It looked like curry chicken instead. At least they managed to get their order changed! The food took quite long to arrive though, even though some had only ordered salad.

It was reaaaallly sweet, the sausages were bland, the omelette could've been 'wetter', but I was quite contented with my meal. It wasn't inedible so I was alright :)

After we had finished, we proceeded downstairs to Raffles City Atrium to check out Elizabeth Arden's corner!


Spot anything different from Elizabeth Arden's previous collections? Hint: A red door?
The new range of Elizabeth Arden eyeshadows come in this new packaging! With an indented door on the powder once you open it. Really loving the new design.

Their eyeshadows now have Vitamin A to minimize fine lines and wrinkles, Vitamins C and E to neutralize free radicals in your eye area, and Advanced pigment technology which allows the powder to create a layer to 'float' on top of your eyelid instead of seeping into fine lines!

The 32 new shades offer colors in warm and cool tones, as well as a multitude of finishes ranging from matte, low lustre pearl, pearl and high pearl. Get ready for intense, buildable colours to suit the look you're after!

Was really excited to try the new colours! With anti-aging benefits, each palette at $34 is considered a steal.



Sarah darling *hearts* Poor girl has to lug her huuuuge leopard print make up bag all around the island for her wedding/bridal make up appointments that day! Am still touched she carries and uses the leopard print puff I bought for her from Japan. :)

Saw this super pretty limited edition zebra print collection FREE with a minimum spending amount. Like what the?! I want!

Bunbunmakeuptips' face, Julie!

Some of us had our makeovers done first, while the rest of us proceeded to a hands on activity and be introduced to Elizabeth Arden's new scent for younger women!



It's not as musky and intense as Red Door. It's more floral, light but still oozes class. In short, I love it!


Their pink bottle reminds me of a younger sister to the Red Door. A younger form of sophistication but reflects a confident, effortlessly beautiful lady.

We got to play with some of the scents to create a little perfume charm, which I immediately hung on my bag. Throughout the day, I was receiving compliments and people were wondering where the smell came from! Haha.

Pictured is the 30ml Aura fragrance.

Eau de Toilette Spray Naturel
Red Door Aura 30ml - $59
Red Door Aura 50ml - $91
Red Door Aura 100ml - $114

Available island-wide at all Elizabeth Arden counters! I would strongly recommend you to have a whiff if you like floral, fruit scents.


Love the soft feminine sensuality and elegance emancipating from the smell! 

Top Notes: Luscious Raspberry, Bergamot Lily
Middle Notes: Orange Flower, Rose, Jasmine Petals,
Base Notes: Creamy Amber, Sandalwood, Soft Musk

Top notes are what you'll smell immediately when you first spritz a little perfume on, and the base notes are what you'll be smelling nearing the end of the day.

So I finally had my makeover, and here are the pictures!


 Before and After

What do you think?

I know the lighting is off and all, but I have a soft smokey look :) I think I look plain in the left picture. I was also quite stoned because I was tricked to going into a thai club the night before.


My FAVOURITE picture from the event, because I forgot to bring my digi cam and had to rely on my handphone shots, so some of my pictures turned out blur... Pretty Yina, Tiphanie and Joey! I also like the positioning of Tiphanie's bag hahaha.

Plus, the model in the poster has an exceptionally dreamy look and is in a gorgeous dress. You get the drift!

Thank you Elizabeth Arden for the fun morning and afternoon! Shoutout to Isabel for the great chat whilst I was trying to stay awake and the bkt recommendation. The pork knuckle was delicious!

Will share about their new beautiful colour eye shadows soon :)

Mary Kay's TimeWise Plus Range

When I was younger, I was that kid who'd snuck into her mum's room, used her lipstick, attempted to draw it all over my lips, and ended up colouring 'out of the lines' as they say.

Oh, and getting scolded by my mum when she found out. Way to get myself busted!

Now, I help my friend's apply make up whenever they want me to! How times have changed. 

Imagine, walking into Cafe de Jardin (100 Beach Road, Shaw Towers), and greeted with these on the table.

A table full of Mary Kay's products!

Mary Kay is an American cosmetics beauty company, founded in 1963 by a wonderful lady who wanted to empower women for success. Their skincare and products are sold in more than 35 countries around the world, and earns more than $2.5 billion in annual sales a year!

I wondered why I even bothered to put make up in the first place because I could experiment with more colours here. Hahaha, nah I don't think I can go out with contacts and not apply any make up at all. No eye make up, fine but foundation is a must. #digress


Sat with Yvette (the people photos were taken with her DSLR!) who looked really cute that night! *_*

Both of us were super hungry at that time, the decor was so adorably fluffy and cute, so I had no reason not to hit the food table first, right? Plus, we were earlier than half of the other guests, hehe.


No regrets because the duck burger was superb!! If you're around Bugis and don't know where to go for lunch/dinner, try Cafe de Jardin just for their affordable duck burgers. Full stop.

How could I steal from the bunny's tea time stash? 
Easily. Hahahaha. I think I had 2 of these duck burgers and licked my fingers after. #don'ttellanyone


We were introduced to Mary Kay's new Timewise plus+ range, that promises to minimize skin aging and allow women to be youthful again! Now that I'm almost in my mid 20s, it's time to protect my skin from aging any further by using their intensive serum and eye cream!

Mary Kay® TimeWise® Plus+™ Regena-Firm™ Intensive Serum, 30ml - SGD 195

 Their intensive serum contains Plant Stem cells that will regenerate your skin cells, protect your skin matrix, and thereby keeping your skin firm from free radicals in the air! Another ingredient, Tripeptide1, supports processes for skin repair, while the botanical extracts provides your skin with volume and a lifting effect.
HOW TO USE: 

Spread the product upward and outward in circular motions for your forehead, nose, mouth, cheeks, jawline and even neck!

BENEFITS:
- Helps jawline appear lifted
-Define facial contours
-Firms and tightens sagging skin
-Lifting effect
- Lines and wrinkles softened
- Doubles skin hydration

Two of us excited to try the new products

Mary Kay® TimeWise® Plus+™ Regena-Firm™ Correcting Eye Cream, 15ml - SGD 105
HOW TO USE: 
Squeeze out a small amount of product onto the tip, 
apply under eye area inside out in an outward, circular motion to relieve puffiness/swelling

BENEFITS
- Lifted eye area
- Reduced puffiness
- Minimizes lines
- Minimizes dark circles
- Firms sagging skin
- Liquid crystals enhance effectiveness and illuminate eyes
- Provides moisturization for 12 hours

Love the applicator! Sculpted to fit the eye, tip stimulates microcirculation as it gentle massages the undereye area. Metal on skin makes the effect cooling and refreshing

 Pictures below are from Yvette's freaking awesome DSLR with a zipai rotatable screen. I want one.


 Me doing the Lip Spa. Rubbing it onto my lips in a circular motion will remove dead skin/cells and enhance my poutability. Okay I added that last bit in. Dab with lip balm after, and your lips will be smoother and bouncier! You'll also get away with pictures of you pouting, like the one above.


Before & After
My lips look lighter and shinier! Okay the shiny bit is due to the lip balm. But lighter nonetheless!


Little cute section where we were introduced to some of their other existing products, and lip gloss!


That's us after we've applied lip stick and lip gloss! :) Say Hi to Zurina!

Staring at Yvette's hair makes me feel like cutting bangs. Hmm.


Thank you Mary Kay and PR girls for this get together! 
(and for introducing my new favourite duck burger joint) 

Get your products exclusively through an Independent Mary Kay Beauty Consultant 
at Mary Kay SG's website.

Stay tuned for the make up review! :)

Purple Sage's Fall in Love Wedding Workshop


No, I am not getting married soon. But I am definitely considering renting a vintage Volks for mine!! How gorgeous is this beetle that's really well maintained and check out the pretty colour it's in?!


Purple Sage invited me for their Fall in Love Wedding Workshop held at Mount Emily, which was craaazy hot weather to climb steps to, so I took a cab and managed to rush down. The welcome speech was held in a nice little tent and I felt like I was attending a wedding already.


 Don't forget to have these if you decide to have an outdoor event. Phew!

 All the attendees were with their significant other half... except me. I brought Crystal and people thought that we came here to find out about same sex marriages. I guess that's possible too! Haha.

 I've always like the use of wax seals to seal envelopes, so you can consider that for your wedding too :P For a customised design, you can check out Butterflies & Cakes!



The theme for that day was Autumn so I wore a dress in autumn-y colours to match :D
 You can consider having chefs serving food kiosk style on your special day!

 Or a live band perhaps? Major weakness for saxophones + Kenny Rogers. 

 Neat and polished table decor!
 Buffet lunch decor. Choose your location and Purple Sage will set up everything for you!



 Now came part 2 of the afternoon. We were ushered upstairs for a buffet dessert as well as have the opportunity to complete some activities with the partners for the event!!

 When you decide on a wedding venue, think about your guests. Do you want a small intimate wedding? Or a large scale wedding? Will parking be an issue?

 The activities were really fun! We had a free 5 min shoulder massage from Mary Chia, could decorate our cupcakes from cakelovecoulture, fill up pails with sweets etc!!


To have roses at your wedding, or not? 


 Have you considered a Candy Bar? For your hungry guests to help themselves before your wedding officially commences.


 Get as creative as you can with your weddings to create a memorable experience for your friends and family as well!!




I am considering have a Tiffany themed engagement party. Hmm.

 One of the booths had this attractive microphone + stand. When I walked closer I realised the mike was a Shure. Woahhh expensive! Of course, had to pose with it. Hahaha.

 I think I was going "oooooh"
 Claire, singer extraordinaire! Sings for weddings and events etc drop me an email today! :)

 No actually I've never done any events or sung live so I was just kidding. I pose only.

 

Thank you Purple Sage for inviting me this year! If you need a boutique caterer for your wedding, they'll help you realize it! Don't forget that you have to start planning wayyy in advance and you can't expect a miracle, unless you book with Purple Sage heheh
