Radiant, Bright and perfect skin with Za True White Plus Skincare

Like i mention in my post on the New Foundation, Za has been continuously listening to feed backs and improving their current products.

Apart from just improving their best selling product, Za has also improved their skincare line.

And here i introduce to everyone the True White Plus Skincare Line.

The New skincare line includes: From Left
True White Plus Cleansing Foam
True White Plus Prismizer (lotion or softener) *Star product of the Line*
True White Plus Emulsion (Moisturizer for Oily/Combi skin)
True White Plus Cream (Moisturizer for Dry/Normal skin)

I was at the pre product launch workshop to test and witness the goodness of the True White Plus Skincare line. * Thanks Pearlin*

Although, the session wasn't as interesting at the makeup session, it was very fruitful .
I learned how to DIY facial massage..Cool rite!! *I can now secretly hide inside my room and pamper my face. Then when people ask me how i maintain my youthful look, i'll say i'm born with it* HAHA!!!

The True White Plus Prismizer can also be used as a mask
jus by pouring it on a plain paper mask

Jiayi and Jiayi were there too

ok now back to the product.

The new True White Plus line is an add on/ replacement for some of the current True white products.

And the difference between the current True White products and the New True White Plus products??

Of course, the goodness of the True White products will remain.
But NEW AND BETTER ingredients will be added in the New products.
Ingredients like the Tranexamic Acid (Super Whitening), Priam Enhancer (Increase Hydration level) and Barrier Enhancer ( Strengthen resistant to damage from external stimulants). All products from the True White Plus Line are Non comedogenic and non-allergenic. Products are also suitable for all skin types.

Za has even came up with an Exclusive Skincare theory which was inspired by the processes of diamonds called the Prism Enhancing System. The Prism Enhancing system is a skin brightening mechanism that works on the principle of gemstone crafting in perfecting the prism to draw out clarity, brightness and luminosity in your skin.

Don't understand???

ok in short it helps your skin produce a bright and brilliant glow juz like your best friend that is shining on your finger.

Cleansing Foam and Prismizer


Emulsion and Cream

The Za Prism Enhancing Process takes 3 steps:
- Clarify *True White Plus Cleansing Foam* (Purifies Skin By removing dead surface cells)
- Refine *True White Plus Prismizer* (Smoothens and re-texturize skin)
-Polish *True White Plus Emulsion/Cream* (Add a luster finish to skin allowing it to glow)

I know some girls will be wondering..HOW GOOD CAN A DRUGSTORE PRODUCT BE?! DUN SPOIL MY FACE WITH CHEAP PRODUCTS OK!!!

Excuse me girlfriends.... Have you heard that the Tranexamic Acid is a award winning ingredient found in Za-cosmeatics.com's sister brand, Shiseido.

And, my opinion on the New True White Plus Line???

I have been using all the products from the True White Plus Line for the past two days and i would say i really like the Cleansing Foam and the Prismizer alot!!!

True White Plus Cleansing Foam: It smells really good and it leave my skin feeling clean and very soft. No tight and dry skin after wash!!

True White Plus Prismizer: This lotion/softener takes away the need for toners. It does not contain any alcohol *or watever in skincare term* as too much of alcohol can harm your skin. It can also be used as double cleansing cause it removed excess dirties and it leaves my face soft, smooth and feeling hydrated.

True White Plus Emulsion/ Cream: i'm not a very big fan of these two products when i first tried them cause i find them to oily and sticky after applying it on my face.However, the oily-ness and sticky-ness of both products reduced after i reduced the amount of the products used. And by reducing the amount used, the products are easily absorbed into my skin and they too leave my skin soft, smooth and very nice.

I'm currently using the Emulsion as a moisturizer and a makeup base in the day and the cream at night. I would also recommend the True White Plus Emulsion and True White Plus Cream but do becareful of the amount used.

The True White Plus Products will be in stores from 25 march 2010.

Ps. Yingzi is going to kill me for posting this pictures!!! =p
Pps. I also went to a private facial session to try out the new products. And i would like to thank nellie for the very very relaxing facial massage.

Home Based Salon, Create Shine

[Advertorial]

It has been a very long time since i've dyed my hair in a salon coz my bf use to be a hair stylist and he does my hair for mi * free personal treatment* evil smile*

But since it's the chinese new year season and he has been really buzy with work.. I've decided that i should make my appointment with Create shine.

Create Shine is a home based salon owned and operated by a very young hair stylist, Xvan. And before you start thinking that home based salons are all shabby and lack of equipments, here are some pics of the salon..

i was there at around 10pm *YES 10PM! one of the advantages of visiting a home based salon is timing!!!* and there was still customers around.

The first impression on this salon was very good. Small, cozy but very professional. No buzzing hair stylists walking around and rushing on their customer's hair.

Create Shine specializes on chemical treatments for hair like Hair treatments, Scalp treatments, Hair Coloring, Hair re-bonding and Perming. And if you are worried that the hair stylist will damage your hair, worry not as Xvan is professionally trained and has worked with top salons in singapore.

Personally, i like home based salons whether is it for manicure/ pedicure/ hair treatments as they provide better and personal service to customers at a MUCH LOWER PRICE!!!

Xvan and his customer

Xvan and mi *ok ignore me coz i look weird*

Visit his blog for promotions and updated - http://www.create-shine.blogspot.com/

Call 82332016 for appointment.

Appointment Only.

It's CNY again

It's the Chinese New Year again!!! Personally i dun really like this festive holiday coz it so artificially and specially this year coz it crashed with V day!!! argh!! watever...

ANYWAY!!

I'll like to wish everyone a Happy Chinese New Year!!! May the year of the tiger be a prosperous one =)

ok now..

who wants HONG BAO????

Go Pink with za-cosmetics.com

Are you a Za foundation user??

Did u grew up with Za's product??

If your answer is YES!!! then good news !!!
But if your answer is NO, then this is even MORE exciting news!!

Za has grown up with their customers from a funky teenager to a sassy young woman. It has changed it's branding from the former Za to the current Za-cosmetics.com and also the packaging of it's product from blue to PINK!!*scream pink lovers*

And, after 11 years of being crowned the best selling foundation, Za will be launching a new and IMPROVED two way foundation.

Za has been continuously listening to the feedback of their customers and finally.. the birth of a new Queen !!

Introducing to all.. the NEW QUEEN OF FOUNDATION.

And how it is better than the former blue package foundation which they call the blue highness??

The goodness of the new foundation

The "Royal Pink Highness" promises a natural, silky and perfect finish for 8 hours with 3 new technologically advanced ingredients:

1.) Luminous Powder

A plate-like powder that helps to reflect light from your skin at all angles, just like a mirror! The result: Radiant, glowing skin!

2.) Poreless Powder

Aspherically-shaped powder to instantly smoothen uneven areas and open pores for a smooth and flawless complexion!

3.) Hyaluronic Acid

A strong moisturizing ingredient to plump up skin and keep it hydrated as we know that a moisturized skin is key to a successful base makeup!

It contains SPF20 PA++ and is non-comedogenic and hypo-allergenic.

I was invited to the sampling session for the Za's new two way foundation.

Registering =)
*look at the CHIO pink goodie bag!!*

Cosmetics laid on the table for us to use!

Each of us were given a set of basic make up tools

Pearlin =)
Thanks for the invitation

I was there with *from front* Ying zi, Joyce & Jiaqi
We have no makeup on coz we'll be trying out the new foundation!!!

And the session started with product & branding introduction

Then a demonstration of how to cleanse, moisturize &
choosing of the correct foundation shade

Finally!! hands on time

8 Shades to choose from!!
*No changes to the shades from the blue highness*

Me after trying the new Za foundation without concealer!!
Just like they promised natural, silky and perfect.

Bring home goodies!!!

My opinion on the new Za two way foundation:

As i seldom use cake foundations *cause i HATE the powdery look and the "cakie" look* but Za's new two way foundation is so light and silky.No powdery face as the new foundation is very light. It is so light that when i first tried it on i couldn't feel the foundation at all and i kept pounding foundation on my face!! Lucky for me, the shade of the foundation is almost similar to my skin color if not i'll look like a ZOMBIE!!! It's also very easy to apply as the "patting" motion is not needed, the foundation is so smooth that i could "glide" the sponge on my face when applying the foundation.

And what i like most about this foundation???

COVERAGE!!!!

The new Za foundation gave me perfect coverage!!! and i'm loving it coz i have SERIOUS under eye dark ring problem.

So ratings for this product???

I'll say 4.5/5

The New Za foundation will be from now the resident product of my makeup pouch =)

Love my new foundation =)

The new Za-cosmetics.com foundation will be available on the 25th day of Feb 2010...

Lawyer, Judge = Respect????

I was at the Family court yesterday settling my divorce issue.. apparently, the mediation ended with a conclusion that both parties agreed with.

For most people, lawyers and judges are always associated with great respects. That was how i felt before i went into the mediation room yesterday.

I felt very very insulted and offended when i see that the other party's lawyer was smiling when i requested/ voice out my conditions.

Wat made it worse was even the judge was smiling and talking with the kind of tone as if she was making comments/ suggestion for a joke.

Seriously, everyone do have a stand in the case that they are in the mediation for and regardless of what the defendant or plaintiff request/ negotiate for. Everyone that is facing a case will have their our views and the reason their are taking things to court is due to a disagreement.

If the lawyers and judges is going to take requests/ opinions from either parties with a laugh then i seriously dun see the point of having the respect them.

Realize that i'm not saying a lawyer shouldn't side their clients. In fact, their job is to help their clients. However, i felt that at the mediation stage, both parties whether it's the plaintiff or defendant's lawyer should keep a open mind as this is the stage where both parties voice out their opinions or conditions to settle a case without going to court.

I still have the greatest respect for the different courts and the laws governing our country. But now if u ask mi, does all lawyers and judges deserve respect?? i'll tell u NO!

ok a bit of pretty update on the blinging of my camera first b4 i start winding about my shoulders.

Finally, i've found a bit of time/ motivation to finish up my camera..


As u can see.. i've continue with the circle pattern of pink and red crystals... and after i reach the initals, it gets a like complicated and i've run out of patients and decided to bling that area with pink crystals only...

Seriously, i dun find it nice.. but it's my first attempt to bling up my gadgets and i'm very happy that it still turn out to be presentable. I'm going to place some ribbons or hearts where is whole patch of pink is to break the harsh color difference.

Next... MY SHOULDERS

If u are following me on twitter, u would know that i'll been winding about my arm.. but it's actually my shoulder that is giving me problem!!!

Apparently, i strained my left shoulder by carrying my bag!!! seriously, i still cannot believe that my camera, makeup pouch, and wallet can cause this much weight.

The pain started on friday night and i only went to the TCM clinic on saturday evening after feeling that my shoulder is going to detach itself from me!!

The chinese medicine doctor did acupuncture for me. This means that he inserted some very thin needles into the area which i felt pain. The pain from the needles were bearable but after all the needles were inserted, he held my shoulder so hard that i felt like punching him!!! it felt like he was trying to attach my shoulder back!!!

That was not the end!!

After 15 mins of acupuncture, he removed the needles and did cupping (Ba guan in mandarin) for mi!! for those who dunno wat is cupping therapy, it's actually a method of relieving local congestion by applying a partial vacuum which is created in cup or cups, either by heat or by suction. BUT it was so painful!!!!!!! i tot he was going to rip my shoulder!!!

Picz..

Acupuncture

Aftermath with huge swelling!!

The pain was unbearable after the TCM session and
i had to get heat plasters and stick it all over my shoulder!!

Update:

I've finish blinging my camera!!!


Should i add some lace on the sides of the camera??? the flower does look big in the pic but in real, the blings made the flower look juz nice...
