L'Oreal Tint Caresse Review




How does it feel like to wear powder lipstick when you have dehydrated lips?  Ask Me!  Please!  I'm the best person to answer!

I got 3 shades of the FIRST Powder Lipstick from L'Oreal Makeup Designer/Paris, I tested them out immediately and here's what I have to say!

Firstly, the packaging is oh-so-chic and amazing!  I can't help but smile whenever I pick these up!  With all the Japanese characters on their "plastic" cover, I knew they are either meant for Japanese market or made in Japan.

Chinese-Style Braised Tofu with Ground Pork Recipe




So who loves Tofu?  ME!
Yes, I didn't wait for your answer because I am really a fan of tofu!  So once I get the chance to grab Firm Tofu from the grocery over the weekend, I knew I had to treat the family with my simple yet yummy Chinese-Style Braised Tofu with Ground Pork dish!

Ingredients:
  • Firm Tofu sliced into blocks
  • Ground Pork
  • Garlic, finely minced
  • Fresh Ginger (grated)
  • Oyster Sauce
  • Soy Sauce
  • Hoisin Sauce
  • Cornstarch slurry
  • Water
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • Green bell pepper 
  • Optional: Green Onions
Heat off the walk and fry the tofu.  Make sure the tofu does not have excess water, you may either press a paper napkin on each tofu to reduce moisture.  Brown both side and set aside.

Something New: TRESemme Platinum Strength Line



One thing I'm proud of, is my ability to change hairstyles on my own based on my mood!  I own loads of hair tools both for professional and personal use.  Okay, don't tell my husband this --- I always buy hair tools and tell him it's for professional use but in reality, it ended up in my "pesonal hair tools bin" Shhhh....

And I recently had a haircut (you'll know if you follow me on Snapchat @AskMeWhats).  My hairstylist kept on saying I have extremely dry and damaged her!  Thankfully, she has been my stylist for quite some time so I don't take it negatively!  I just told her: "I know!" :P  And I'm actually trying my best to do something about it!  

How? By using hair treatment 3x a week, use heat protectant products whenever I use styling tools!  So I'm always on a lookout for products that helps protect my hair from all those heat-styling tools!

TRESemme came up with a solution called TRESemme Platinum Strength.  This range fortifies and strengthens hair and can repair up to two years of damage caused by everyday hairstyling. 

The range includes --- TRESemme Platinum Strength Shampoo, Conditioner, Treatment Mask and Stay Soft Leave in Treatment.

Estee Lauder Pure Color Envy Sculpting Gloss & Lacquer in Flirtatious Magenta Review




I know, it's Friday!  Time for a date night maybe?  Or a girls night out?  Well, it's high time you whip something out from your beauty kit that gives you an instant "oomph" even when your face says otherwise from the week's worth of hard work and stress!  

My no-brainer answer is my Estee Lauder Pure Color Envy Sculpting Gloss & Lacquer!


Yes, that's a "GLOSS" word out there!  I almost never touch a gloss for quite some time because of the possible sticky feel but the shade Flirtatious Magenta is definitely a perfect night out color I can't resist!  And oh, if I may have to add --- this isn't as sticky as I thought it would be!

Colgate Plax Bamboo Charcoal Mint Mouthwash Review




If you ask me what I do for a living --- be prepared for a LONG explanation!  I have so much to do at the moment I can't help but thank God for all the blessings!

One of the greatest perks of my work?  Dealing and meeting people on a daily basis.  This is my most favorite part of my job.  I've always been the sociable-type!  I remembered back when I was 8 years old, my aunt left me at the reception area of the hospital and she came back seeing me at the center of this small group charming my way to strangers!  It's a gift guys!  That is how I deal with boredom and how I learn new things!

Thank God that talent of "yak" was put into use!  I am a proud trainer for various companies (thanks guys for hiring me!)
