We are less than 50 days away from Christmas,
how exciting!!
Christmas has definitely got to be my favourite holiday of the year.
Christmas cheer, festive dinners, shopping sales & discounts of course!!
The good food, good atmosphere, beautiful lights along Orchard Road..
& what better way to celebrate this festive season than to shop for presents for your loved ones!
Yes, I know..
Women are complicated creatures who are fickle & well,
Women are complicated creatures who are fickle & well,
hard to please.
So here's a guide to some Christmas present ideas for those that are clueless & already wrecking your poor brains about what to get for that special someone.
*Psst.. Guys, take note.
Chocolates & flowers are not what she wants this Christmas!!
For Skincare Junkies
Yes, this is the newest skincare gadget in the market.
The Foreo.
It is somewhat along the lines of the Clarisonic & Clinique or Michael Todd Sonic Brushes.
The theory behind the gadgets are pretty much the same-
to give a better, deeper cleanse & also to help improve dirt, grime & improve the skin.
The Foreo has many versions!
The Foreo Luna, Foreo Luna Mini & Foreo Lux.
& the price ranges from $225 to $12,500.
Yes, the Lux is a little too extreme for even me, an avid skincare junkie.
(I'd rather by a Chanel bag)
However, the mini is an awesome alternative at the price of only SGD$225,
and comes with 5 different colours even!
So what exactly does the Foreo do?
Well, the Foreo uses T-Sonic patented technology, that channels sonic pulsations into the skin.
Therefore, the skin is cleanse of all impurities, dirt & grime, leaving skin fresh, clean & less prone to any clogged pores, breakouts or problematic areas.
The Foreo does promise to give brighter, more radiant & clear skin when used twice daily over a short span of time.
& what is best about this product is that, it is suitable for all skin types!
& what is best about this product is that, it is suitable for all skin types!
The bristles at the top are super small & gentle on the skin, while it has a massaging back surface that you can use to massage your skincare products into the skin better.
Double function of clean skin & better penetration of products, especially those expensive ones like SK-II!!
* The Foreo is available at Sephora Singapore, or you can ship directly from the FOREO website.*
Another alternative to the Foreo, would be the amazing, & well loved Clarisonic.
The Clarisonic has been around for a few years now, & have pretty much upgraded itself over the past few years.
The latest would be the Clarisonic Aria.
I myself, own the Clarisonic Mia 2 for about a year now..
& I must say that I really love it!
The concept of the Clarisonic is just alike the Foreo Luna.
However, it does not have the massaging system at the back of the device.
However, the Clarisonic is said to be able to be used even on the body,
to give brighter, glowing skin!
& one more thing that I love about the Clarisonic?
It has got to be the interchangeable brush heads that have a wide variety for the different skin types & functions!
I personally am using the Sensitive & Delicate brush heads.
A new Aria, or Mia 2 Clarisonic usually comes with the normal brush head.
However, you can change the brush heads to your liking..
& remember to change your brush heads every 3 months or so!
*Go to a Sephora & feel the Cashmere or Luxe brush heads, they are so freaking luxurious!!*
*The Clarisonic is available off Clarisonic counters or at all Sephora outlets!*
& here are also some of my favourite skincare brands that often have skin care sets & promotions, especially during the Christmas season!!
Fresh Beauty that is available at Sephora Singapore!
* I love Fresh & have found that their sets are super affordable! Almost 50% of their usual price!*
Therefore, explains the 2 sets that I got below, in the past month.
The Youth Preserve Set SGD$75
The Age Delay skincare set SGD$90.
My holygrail Purity face cleanser!
Read my review here if you have not:
Or simply, if all else fails, get a Sephora Voucher or a Luxola Voucher,
& let her shop away!
& let her shop away!
If you are extra sweet.. Follow her to the shops & carry her shopping bags!!
For Makeup Junkies
One of the most talk about that us Singapore beauty bloggers have been raving about,
has got to be the opening of an Inglot outlet on our shores!!
Yes, Inglot has been around for many years over in the States & UK.
But, Singapore was even behind Malaysia, KL, in having an outlet on our shores itself!
I first purchased my Inglot makeup from KL, & when I knew they were opening in Singapore,
I was ECSTATIC!!
My Inglot Collection- Small but definitely gonna build it up.
Another favourite brand of makeup, would be MAC Cosmetics.
MAC has been around in Singapore for years & years.
They are a super well established brand all over the world, & everyone raves about the products.
Just to name a few: MAC Fix Plus
MAC mineralised skin finishes in "Lightscapade" & "Soft & Gentle"
MAC Lipsticks in Candy Yum Yum, Velvet Teddy, Vegas Volt, Sin, Girl About Town.
The list goes on..
& of course, I am an avid fan of the brand!!
If you are unsure of what to get, go to Sephora ION & look for my favourite MAC artist,
Alif.
He is always so helpful & really knows his stuff well.
I can also say 90% of my MAC products are bought with his help..
& of course, if all else fails, get some Vouchers!!
& if your lady in mind, doesn't fancy any skincare or makeup,
but a good ol' facial or massage session..
Why not try out this 2 places?
Only Aesthetics/ O Medical Clinic
O Medical is my aesthetics clinic of choice.
I visit them twice a month for my facial appointments, & I must say I am satisfied with their service.
Being under the same company, Only Aesthetics is having a special promotion in which I would love to share with my readers!
How much do you think a normal session of laser facial cost in Singapore?
S$88, $188, $250?
Well, take whatever amount you had in mind & multiply it by 2 for 2 sessions!
"ONLY FOR 2" Promotion
Simply come with a friend to our ONLY Aesthetics flagship outlet at Raffles Place and present this promotion in print or on your mobile phone.
You and your friend get to enjoy a treatment session together!
Choice of either one of the treatments:
2 Session Laser Facial for only $48 (UP. $576)
2 Session Fat Freeze for only $188 (UP. $3000)
Look great together this November!
For bookings and enquires, call 6220 4434.
Le Spa (www.lespa.com.sg)
Le Spa has always been my choice of massage or spa place.
Not only are they opened 24 hours a day, they have 2 outlets that are pretty central & convenient!
The newest outlet is located at Upper Bukit Timah, while the other is in Chinatown.
Just look at the cosy rooms!
I love Le Spa because they are so clean, comfortable, relaxing & the masseurs are just great & friendly.
*Le Spa is having a promotion package of $600 value at only $500!
What's more is that this package can be shared amongst friends, families etc.
So why not pamper yourself & your loved ones at Le Spa.
I vouch that you won't regret!!
That is pretty much all for now.
My Christmas ideas are pretty much limited to the beauty & lifestyle aspect.
If you wish for me to cover a fashion or gadget aspect in a post,

Till the next post,
stay healthy & happy.
