Aldo shoes at ZALORA

After being informed that ZALORA is the exclusive online purveyor of Sephora in Singapore, I now discovered another of my *love* - Aldo shoes - on ZALORA too!

As always, perks of shopping on ZALORA includes (almost constant) flash sales/discounts/promotions!

The convenience of shopping on ZALORA is also its extensive filtering system that allows you to "skip the crowd (and temptations)" and get to exactly what you're shopping for!

For instance, I'm a fan of casual flats that can bring me from office to weekends and even to going overseas.

All I need to do is to select 'flats' under Women's shoes and ta-dah! The relevant designs will be churned out and presented to me in a split second! This even beats shopping at the retail boutique when your eyes have to screen through possibly hundreds of shoes just to shortlist that few (similar) designs you're looking for.

Besides flats, I usually keep a lookout for nice everyday heels too, since well, I need them for work everyday.

After filtering for heels, there are even further filtering to the specific type of heels you like.

Usually I go for low to mid heels as they're more comfy.

There! Mid heels <3 p="">

For those who follow my instagram and #ootd shots, I'm a HUGE fan of nude shoes. Cos nude footwear goes with everything and anything!

There, ZALORA has exactly what I need for Aldo shoes.

And I spotted exactly something I already have/would like. hahaha..

Of cos, not forgetting to view latest discounted list where we may find great shoes at a steal ;)

Just click and drop for 'Discount' to list items on discount!

I then look at some 'New Arrivals' and immediately saw something I like - the Pignataro Sandals in such a lovely shade of blue and diamonte embellishment that makes it exudes an understated sophistication <3 p="">

Best thing is, it comes with free delivery too!

If you would like, there are shoes for your man too ;)

Now, I'm logging off to text my boy.

Go check out Aldo shoes at ZALORA yourselves!

It’s the beginning of the Great Singapore Sales this month and I’m so excited over it!

Time to get that fashion tote/clutch/dress/shoes/jeans/necklace which we’ve all been eyeing at discounted prices! :D More importantly, it’s a great chance to stock up on those necessities! Haircare, skincare, makeup and etc which you’ve been loyally using for the past year(s). Oh yes!

Q and I went to Sephora store to check out makeup and skincare.

Registered for a new loyalty card and got a freebie! Yay ^^

Sephora is not only a store that sells beauty products, it is a brand name itself that has a vast range of high-quality skincare, make-up, and other products. These exclusive products can only be found in Sephora stores!

Been a fan of Sephora since school days in Maastricht (The Netherlands) where there was a Sephora store just a few minutes WALK from our apartment! How convenient! I remember from Sephora, I can get supplies of makeup and skincare which were more suitable for our skins in the climate there. Not only that, if you do not intend to buy anything, it’s a wonderful place to just hang around, checking out countless new products and their delightful packaging. 

Imagine my happiness when I got to know that we can now buy Sephora online at ZALORA. It's so convenient! What's more, with an established shopping site like ZALORA, many of us should be very used to the interface and need not waste any precious time learning to navigate around.

Now that ZALORA is the exclusive online purveyor of Sephora in Singapore, start shopping Sephora online! 

Not only can we shop Sephora at the comfort of our home, we can easily browse through products or search for an particular item in a shorter time than in the physical store.

ZALORA website has the 'SORT' function whereby you can sort the Sephora products by New Arrivals, Lowest Price, Most Popular and etc.

Learning of new products now is a breeze!

Simply sort by latest arrivals~

One of my favourite beauty masks from Sephora is also available online!

If you have a budget to work on, you can easily use the filter function to filter for products within a certain price range. Saves effort of sieving through things that are so tempting yet exceeding your shopping budget for the month :p

In addition, since we're in the GSS mood, you can sort the Sephora products to get the most discounted items in a minute second!

Sephora eyeshadows and nail polishes at 25% off!

On top of Sephora promotions, you will get additional discounts from ZALORA itself using credit cards or vouchers.

Sometimes, discounts would even simply fall onto your lap when you visit the site - like this pop-up $10 savings :D

(Yeah, who doesn't wanna save money right??)

So what are you waiting for? 

Start shopping Sephora online today! :)

Raffles

Velocity @ Novena Square

Had the chance to visit the outlet situated at Ngee Ann City level 8.

Gorgeous branch :)

OOTD.

To begin with, we had a body assessment for our personal trainer to understand more about our fitness levels and requirements.

It was pretty fuss-free. Simply have to step on this machine and it assesses your body condition in a minute!

Here's Celine doing hers.

Now, here's my report:

If you indeed bother to zoom in and spy on my body condition, yeah I'm pretty much underweight, under-nourished, basically lacking everything, rofl.

So our personal trainer, Kurt, recommended me to do exercises that builds mass.

Guess what activity? o.0

BOXING!

 

Kurt strapping my hands with the protective bands.

I kept on telling him, "HAHA, don't need wrap la. I can't do it. I really can't do it. How can I hit someone!?"

Still, he was very determined to get me started on boxing.

He taught me the positioning of our limbs and body, emphasizing on defense position which is very important to protect my face ROFL, and basic punches.

Throughout the entire initial explanation segment, I feel that he's really very VERY patient with especially since I'm such a noob in exercising -_-

Also, he made me felt very relaxed even though it was my first attempt at it.

So much so that I totally enjoyed and released all my stress at one go

*PUNCHES~!*

See, even I myself was totally taken aback by the power of my punch and started curling my body back apologizing if I had hurt him.

He smartened up and made me use the gloves instead :`D

And now he uses the equipment instead of taking my punches with his bare hands, heh heh heh.

(still got audience in the ring neh? keke)

We had about three 5-min intervals of boxing in that session and I was perspiring at the end of the short 15 mins.

Did some stretching to cool down the body and Kurt attempted to curl me into a ball.

He seems happy to be getting his revenge now :`D

(I'm so sorrie for punching you sobsobsobs!)

Nevertheless, the entire session was rather fun.

Our personal trainer, Kurt, was pretty motivating and not in an overwhelming manner like I was initially afraid of prior to attending the session.

I never knew I could do boxing and a mere 15-min of boxing makes me feel like I've exercised for an hour! It's definitely good and fun workout!

Now, you can also kick-start your professional fitness regime at only $1.75 a day :)

philosophy's Hope in a Jar Night & Sweet Holiday Collection

philosophy: To dream in hope is to wake to limitless possibility

I first got to know philosophy through one of the beauty boxes I've gotten previously and immediately fell in love with its simplicity of the brand.

Few weeks back, there was a chance to attend philosophy's Hope in a Jar launch event at Wanderlust Hotel.

There, in a gorgeous and comfortable room, we learnt how beauty sleep has been redefined by philosophy.

Live in hope & dream in hope :)

Hope in a jar night features remarkable qusome 

technology for quick and intense retexturizing, 

while improving uneven skin tone.

- boosts nighttime renewal to retexturize 

skin as it plumps the appearance of fine 

lines and evens skin tone

- patented qusomes help deliver potent 

glycolic acid deep into skin's surface

- formulated with gradual release 

technology to minimize the potential 

for irritation

- calming agents ensure your skin 

rejuvenates in peaceful slumber

- silky texture provides lightweight 

hydration that absorbs quickly

***

It had been about a week since I started using the night moisturiser.

The cream smells slightly of aromatic oil - think lavendar :) Texture is much thicker than normal day moisturiser as it targets to maximise the hydration effects throughout the night when we are not active. 

And while using the cream, I kept reminding myself the importance of beauty sleep to go along in order to have good skin, keke. 

True enough, philosophy Hope in a Jar Night delivered what it promised!

My skin feels very much more hydrated and generally more plumped-up and healthier looking. Also, the fine lines especially nearing the laugh lines were softened a little. 

I feel that my makeup could go on my face much more easily too which is the most important thing to working ladies I believe ;)


philosophy Hope in a Jar Night (60ml) retails for $64 at all Sephora stores, Bugis Junction #01-16 & TANGS Orchard Level 1

During the event we were taught to live in hope - being pampered with nice macarons and chocolates! <3

And had the chance to DIY our own dream-catchers to drive away all our nightmares!

(my not-very-creative dream-catcher)

Then, we learnt to dream in hope.

The bloggers enjoying the luxurious bed and all ready to sleep!

Goodnight all! ♥♥♥

Smacked right in the middle of it is The Cookie Exchange set.

The sweet creamy frosting lotion, christmas cookie shower gel and sugar sprinkles lipshine.

creamy frosting lightly scents skin. it’s the icing on the cake (or cookie in this case) for your skin and your senses after the shower or bath.

Here are the lipshine in eggnog, fresh cream, cherry pinwheel cookie, raspberry glazed flavours. The lipshine is high-gloss, high-flavor that hydrates, smoothes and softens lips, while adding flavor and gloss.
