CHEAP BUT GOOD! IT'S DEALGURUSG (PART 2)

CHEAP BUT GOOD! IT'S DEALGURUSG (PART 2)


Advertorial 
Just 2 days ago, I posted up an entry about shopping experience at Deal.com.sg and to make my story be more reliable and trustworthy, I really did try to purchase few deals on that website to experiment myself. See how brave I am! :D 

This is the 1st deal I bought! 


61 people bought the deal so far, it means I'm not the only brave girl, lolz. The difference is the other 60 people don't share what they feel after the deal, I do!

Saying "brave" because there are many friends warned me before I bought any deal online:

"All these things are not good, that's why they sell so cheap"
"Nah, I'm sure they will try to sell you package after you finish the treatment. You'll end up paying more"
"What if they will give you a lousy service and you paid already? And no refund?"
"Can it be trusted? Maybe they write up very nicely online, but the true services are not like that?"
bla bla bla,.......

Tell me that you have all those fears too?
I did! But that was before I tried out the first deal I bought. To my surprise, there is no other words beside PERFECTION! Read til the end and you'll know why.

I came to dBelle Beautique on Sunday afternoon when I had no work, I pampered myself the whole Sunday with facial treatment, spa and massage. So shiok! The shop is located at the most happening shopping street in Singapore, Queen Street. It's next to Bugis Street and it's pretty easy to find out.


Shopfront! 
Like any other beauty salons, it's cozy and quiet from the entrance  itself.  

Special promotion! 
The offer on Deal.com.sg is still cheaper :D Only S$29! So you know where to get the good deal ;)


Salon interior! It looks quite new as the owner has just finished renovation 2 days before I came. Everything is clean, nice and new, I love it!

Roses on the reception table make the place become sweeter and more lovely. 

Look at these products displayed! 

dBelle is mainly using Karin Herzog which is very popular for oxygen therapy that helps to maintain the youthfulness of your skin. You might think this is just one of many other skin care products? No, you are wrong! It is so damn popular in Hollywood, ok! Many celebrities like Cameron Diaz, Demi Moore, Renell Zellweger, Sharon Stone, Jenifer Aniston, Kylie Minogue, Uma Thurman have been using it for long time. Especially, guess who is the big fan of Karin Herzog?


Prince William's wife, Kate Middleton
Ok! Not necessary for me to speak further. You want to check how popular this products are, read it here and here. 

Back to the main topic! I was taken to visit their premise, there are 3 treatment rooms in total
Each is very clean, nicely decorated and very comfortable too!

I was walking out from the washroom and snapping this photo, lolz.

Pink shoes! Oh, I'm in love with this.

Now come to the treatment! If you ever read on the voucher! I was entitled for 2 intensive treatments which are:
1. Solitaire Skin refining therapy
2. Chocolate Oxygen Face Treatment
FREE Soft hands treat. 

A happy customer waiting to be beautified :D


To make it better for comparison, I even took a picture of my skin before the treatment. If you can see, I've started having quite numbers of freckles which may cause aging faster, wtf. Blame the stupid sun! My skin pores are big and there are many blackheads which I've been trying many ways to remove 'em away. None can solve my problem and I'm very upset. I was very doubtful that dBelle could do any miracle -_-

First step, Jess (my aesthetician) helped to remove my make-up and clean my face using Karin Herzog Finest Chocolate Cleansing. 


So cool and nice feeling.

Now, it's clean! I'm getting ready for the next step. 

Second step, Jess applied Karin Herzog Oxygen on my face. 


To make sure the oxegen adsorbs deeply into my skin, she even used the transparent nylon to wrap up my face, lolz...
Look at the bubbly oxygen on my face, so yum, hahahah....



Third step, which I was exclusively offered out of 2 items listed on Deal.com.sg, it's Diamond peel &Ultrasounds therapy.


I don't know what the exact name for all the equipments but I called it "Skin Ring", hahaha. I coined that words, does it sound nicer?


I was very amazed after Jess showed me the result of my half face has diamond peel done. It was so flawless and clean, omg! The result is so super obviously different. I love this "Skin Ring" but I can't do it too often because my skin is too fragile, too thin, it will not be good if I scrub it too often :( 


Ultrasound therapy but there wasn't any sound at all except the blue light and cold metal device running on my face. This is to make the Oxygen adsorbs even deeper and deeper to my skin. I love this blue thingy, so cool and it made me almost fall asleep.

Fourth step, Chocolate time baby!
But this chocolate is not  for you to eat, it's for your skin. It's pretty funny to look at the photo with the mask on. I looked like an alien or a person have just survived from a terrifying burning.

It's ugly, so gotta strike a cute pose to earn some credits back, lolz....

OK, relaxing time! I tried very hard to relax during the treatment and this is my 10mins precious moment when I dozed off.

20 minutes later! It's time to wash up and look at mirror

I''M HERE, COMPLETELY RELAXED!!!!

Pardon my messy hair but my skin look awesome! Muahahahhaahha!


A close up shot without any make up on! I swear I didn't photoshop anything too. 

The only things that applied on my face are these stuffs:


Feeling like a celebrity now, hahahha

After face treatment, Jess even gave me some product samples to use at home. See how nice she is! 

I don't know how soon I will finish all the samples as I'm gonna use them twice everyday. Must utilize it to the max coz good chance never comes twice, lolz.

Lastly, Jess did for me Hand treatment using Oxygen as well and look at how amazing this so-called Oxygen therapy can do to your skin? Instant result! Can you see the part with Oxygen and the one without?
I have only 3 words: OH MY GOD!


That also ended my treatment with a HUGE satisfaction. I was super-duper happy with the result and thought my 3hours spending there totally worth it. If you wish to have your skin brightened, you definitely need Karin Herzog products.

Before ending this post, I'm answering your annoying and dumb questions above again:


"All these things are not good, that's why they sell so cheap"
- Hello, after reading my blog entry above, you still dare to say this? it's not because of the products or services are cheap, it's because you are too cheapskate, you can't even afford S$29 for 3 in 1 treatment, how could you afford to buy there S$3xx treatments? Just shut up and stop spreading the negative, shitty comments to others!

"Nah, I'm sure they will try to sell you package after you finish the treatment. You'll end up paying more"
- No, Jess didn't try to sell me anything after all. Regardless the small amount of the offer compares to their expensive services & products, she still tried her best to give me the best services ever. I like that and her personality too. If after the treatment, you want to continue, it's your choice!

"What if they will give you a lousy service and you paid already? No refund somemore"
- If unfortunately there is such case happened, you know who is always standing beside  you. TALK TO DealGuruSG. Cheaters always need to be banned and I'm very sure DealGuruSG is doing a very good job to protect their buyers. For me, I was very pleased by dBelle service, I'm gonna give them more credits. 

"Can it be trusted? Maybe they write up very nicely online, but the true services are not like that?"
- Read the answer at question no.3

I hope I've manged to satisfy you all with this entry, my God! I didn't plan to write it that long but every time I started writing, words and words are flooding up my mind and I couldn't stop it. Perhaps, I'm successful in making you guys feel more confident in shopping online especially knowing how to search for good deals around. There are plenty but be smart to chose which one is best for you. 

I've seen many deal websites around but so far, I'm only interested in Deal.com.sg. Their deals, services or even their website layout are so much better than others :D

I've done my part, now it's your turn to do something to show us some supports. 

1. Wanna get more good deals and stuffs? Visit DealGuruSg website, join their Facebook and follow them on Twitter. They are nice people! 

2. I'm still running for my Singapore Blog Award 2011 under Best Online Shopping Category sponsored by Deal.com.sg, PLEASE SHOW ME SOME SUPPORT BY VOTING FOR ME!
You gotta create an account to vote, it will take only 3, 4 minutes, so don't be lazy. 
Click the photo below to VOTE NOW!!!!






P/s: Btw, I have good news for you guys! If any of you are interested in the facial treatment that I have above, you can either request DealGuruSG to re-sell it. Else, you can make an appointment at the salon itself. Call 6338 0506 for an appointment, look for Jess. Mentioned my  name Crystal Phuong to get a special discount! Good luck in achieving your flawless skin ;)

Whitening mask

Whitening mask


How you girls usually take care of your face? I know every girl uses facial wash everyday. Don't tell me you don't wash your face. So, besides facial foam, cleanser, moisturizer, what else do you do?

I used to have a dry, pimply face when I was 16, 17 years old (blame the stupid puberty) and I didn't even think it's a problem at all. Hence, I didn't care much about it. After I started dancing, i started to learn how to put on make up because I couldn't go to perform with a pale face. And you know that make-up for dancing performances, competition is kinda hardcore one. Everything needs to be ultra dark, ultra heavy yet 100% water proof. If you ever see some of my dance photos I posted up, you'll probably know how it looks like. And because of the heavy make up, it makes my skin dry up even faster, more damaging if I don't seriously take care of it. I then began learning how to maintain my youthful skin. Will share with you more in details in the next post, now it's a quick one

Once a week, mostly on Sunday, I will spend time on "feeding" my skin. So troublesome! I seriously force myself so hard to make it as a habit regardless how busy I am. I've just done my:

Whitening facial mask!
(The most real-time blog entry of all time, lolz)


The mask was kept in the fridge. So damn cold on my face but it's super cool and relaxing. I can just lie down and sleep if only there would be somebody to wash my facial later, lolz.


Close up! I used a brush to apply the mask on, that's why you can see it's so even every parts. My eyebrows are enjoying it too :D

Now, can camwhore as long as I wish while waiting for the mask to dry and absorb into my skin.

Want to know what is the result?

Here you go!
*tadah*



Awesome flawless skin and super duper smooth. My god! I'm in love with my skin, so nice to touch :D. Nevertheless, this is not the final result that I wanted yet as you can see, the pores are still quite big, I need to do few more rounds to tighten up the pores and remove all the stupid blackheads out :(



That's me! Without any make up on! 

My messy beauty corner, lolz!

Tell me any girl or guy doesn't want to have good skin? Go and get your mask done, at least once a week for God's sake. There is nothing worse that kissing on a pimply, oily and rough face :D Don't let people have a nightmare after kissing you. Good luck!

DEAD SEA MUD MASK

DEAD SEA MUD MASK


It was raining in the evening yesterday when I was supposed to go out for a dinner. I did all makeup, hairdo, wardrobe *it usually takes me an hour to do all anyway* then it rained. Hate it to the max. I felt super lazy to go out after that, but nothing to do anyway. So I thought of giving my face a good treat, lying down on the couch while having a yummy self-made strawberry ice-cream. Who cares about the rain anyway? 
I used Dead Sea Mud mask which is said to be good for all skin types. This is the sample


My first impression on Dead Sea mud is "Ewww, it looks gross" and trust me if you ever smell or touch the ditch mud. It really smells bad. But dead sea mud is different that's why all spas earn lots of money over this service.

Normally, when you go to a beauty salon, you'll still look good even with the mask on. 


But when you are at home, it's a different story. Here is my version. 


Not everyday I'm doing Dead Sea mask, might as well take many fun photos while it lasts. 

Upset face!


Sulky face! 


Bubble face! I


What's up face! Lolzzz

 I don't know why I kept thinking of this baby face  when I look at my photo. 


But I have one dimple, baby doesn't. 


Angry face! 


Credit to my blink cam man for capturing those hilarious pics. It's so outstanding with the black face background from behind. HAhahahaaa.

Now, It's time to wash my face off and show you how awesome flawless and smooth skin that the mask gives me! 

For the best result, I gotta carry that face for at least 30 minutes until I feel the mask is dried and cracked out. It's time to rinse it off.

HERE I AM!!!!!
A non-make up face at all. 


Totally smooth and flawless!!!!!! 
Wanna touch? Hehehe

Close up shot of the awesome skin

Can't believe that all the blackheads are 80% gone and the pores are tightened up.

This is the NON-PHOTOSHOPPED photo at all. 

You can always try it at home and experience how awesome it feels. Sometimes it's good to spend a little time to pamper yourself especially your skin because everybody wants to look good and beautiful. Don't be a lazy woman! 

I don't want to look horrible when I get old. I already know how will I look when I'm old. I learn that we can't decide how old we are, but we can always decide how young we look. 

Looking at the mirror and asking yourself  "How young you want yourself to be"?


 I'm about to finish this  post and it's about to rain again. 

This weather in the weekend??? Not a good idea.

I'm still trying to enjoy my weekend even though it's a storm coming in. Have great weekend everyone.

MY FLAWLESS SECRET

MY FLAWLESS SECRET


This post was requested some time ago by some of my blog readers and friends, but I was too busy to post it up. They asked me: "What foundation brand are you using?", "What skin care products you apply?" "How come your face so smooth and flawless, what are the tips?" etc...

As today I just received some new skincare products, so I'm going to blog about it and share with you my simple daily skincare routine

1. Morning

I clean my face every morning with this brightening rice water cleanser from The Face Shop. The sales girl told me that, this is the best selling item of The Face Shop!
The cleanser foam is mainly made from rice water. So it's pretty safe and friendly for all skin types. Vote 3 stars for it.

 2. Afternoon
I don't put much make up during the normal day unless I go to any events or photo shoot. Normally, I just apply a little bit of sunscreen, Aloe Vera Propolis Cream bought from Forever Living Products, blusher and lipstick. That's all for the day! :)
Photo with no photoshop effect at all taken by my Berry!
But if I have to make up, this foundation and face powder from Chanel is definitely my recommendation.
I totally love this.  I've been using many other brands, but Chanel really makes my skin look significantly different. I have combination skin, so it usually gets oily after I wear make up for long hour. But with Chanel Mat Lumiere, I don't even have to worry about that. The longer I wear, the better it absorbs into my skin and makes it naturally smooth. Trust me! Not only that, it could control my oil level perfectly, I just need to use a piece of tissue to absorb the oil. That's it! Again, my skin is combination skin so if you have the same skin type like me, you can try out Chanel.

 3. Evening.
REMEMBER to remove your makeup when you are home! I can't believe some girls even wear the makeup to sleep. That's so horrible treat for your skin. Your skin needs to "shower" like yourself and it needs to breath too! Don't use normal facial foam for make-up remover, it won't work much and leave your skin dried. Instead, try to use some organic oil based makeup removers. They are gentler on your skin. I'm currently using a bunch of products sponsored by V & M. They are fine to me so far.
From left: Dead sea cleanser, Dead sear toner, Dead sea body and hand cream, Nail tool.
I'm only using Dead sea cleanser for makeup remover and apply Dead sea toner after that. The Dead sea body and hand cream are used as a body lotion. And the 4 in 1 nail tool, wow super cool. It combines of 4 functions: cleaning, brushing, shaping and shinning your nails. Really like a magic! I also love this Ocean sandy mask:

4. Night. 
I used to think that when we are sleeping, we need to let our skin free to breath. Thus, I didn't even apply and thing on my face at all. But after that I realized that my skin in the next morning became dry and dehydrated. A skin specialist told me that because when we are sleeping, lacking of water intake and the air con will dehydrate our skin. Thus, you need to apply some sleeping mask or skin products to moisturize the skin, drink lot of water before and after sleep. It really works.

I got for myself a sleeping mask from The Face Shop!
This is one of my favorite too! I apply it in every evening before I sleep. The specialty about this sleeping mask is, no matter how hot or cold temperature you store this product in, it still gives you a very cool feeling in your hands and the smell is really good. I love to apply a bit on my eyes every time my eyes get tired. It will re-freshen my eyes and give me a good sleep during the whole night. My boyfriend always says "You sleep like a piggy, just lie down for a few mins you can sleep already!" Hahahah....I gave him once sleeping mask to use too, and he slept like pig too, lolz :D Go and get one! You will love it!
The other reason why I like to use The Face Shop is because my favorite man Kwon Sang Woo- Korean actor is an Ambassador for this product.
Super hot! Yum.....:D How could we ladies resist!
Got this free product from The Face Shop too, while I bought the sleeping Mask. Pore treatment!
Mad Love! xoxox
That's all- my secret. If you want to have a good, smooth and acne-free skin like mine, you have to invest in it. Do it now and your skin will thank you later. If you don't take care of it now, you'll regret when you get older. Men need to take care of your own skin too. There are many skin care products for men nowadays that you can find. There is nothing more terrible than kissing on a congested and acnes face :D So thumb up for good skin everyone! I totally agree with the saying: "There is no ugly woman, just a lazy woman" :D
  P/s: Just bought a bottle of Tanning spray! I can't wait to be tanned! Love it!
