Za Total Hydration BB Cream Review and Launch!
Saturday, May 26, 2012
Today I want to share with you this amazing product - ZA Total Hydration BB Cream!


Za Girls were very nice to invite me to the launch of it held at Sogurt! Thank you Za!!







They gave this very cute peach thingy (:



Za Total Hydration BB Cream has 12 benefits! My favorite out of the 12 is that it has SPF 43+++!!! Seriously, I have never found a BB cream at such a reasonable pricing and it has such a high SPF! Right now, it is selling at $15.90 in Singapore. Another thing that I adore is that it has a pinkish tone that makes you fairer!  The best thing is that you can get one BB cream to supposedly fit all skin shades.



Okay, so let's start reviewing Za Total Hydration BB Cream!



I always like to show you a picture in flash as the lighting tends to be more harsh and therefore you are able to see the foundation more clearly as well. (I am not wearing any concealer to let you see the foundation finish better [except under eye concealer])


It does what it promises, like being non-sticky, conceals pores and brightens up your skin. I thought the coverage was just nice as long you don't put too much.

I wore it out for quite a number of days and it feels fine and non-sticky on my skin. Once, I went to Sentosa (a very sunny place) and thought that this would be prefect because of the SPF. After a whole day of running around the beach and having fun, you could see that the bb cream did melt a bit but either than that it was holding very well.  

So overall I would give this a  7.5/10
Long-lasting effect 7/10
Affordability 8.5/10 
Coverage 7/10

Marvel's The Avengers - My favourite Avenger
Friday, April 13, 2012

Official trailer of Avengers

OKAY!! AVENGERS IS FINALLLYYYY COMING OUT IN SINGAPORE!! YAY!!

Since it's not out yet... I thought I just wanna blog WHO is my favourite Avenger!! And it got to be.... Robert Downey, Jr. Ahem... I meant IRON MAN! It's just brilliant that Robert plays the role of Iron man - it fits him perfectly.

Ok... now on to the character of iron man and why i adore him more than the other Avengers.

It's not shown in the above trailer that I've embed, but in some other trailers, it perfectly shows Iron man with a sense of humour. AND OF COURSE... ALL LADIES LOVE A GUY WITH A SENSE OF HUMOUR!


Look at this trailer instead - at 1.10.

Captain America asks "Big man with a suit on. Take that away... what are you?"

Iron man replies smoothly... "genius, playboy, billionaire, philanthropist"

HAHA... that is all it took to make me laugh. Great answer, iron man, brilliant answer!

AND WAIT!! THERE IS ANOTHER SCENE (at 1.48)

Iron man shakes the hand of hulk "Dr. Banner, your work is unparalleled. I'm a huge fan when you lose control and turn into a enormous raging monster."

HOW CAN YOU NOT LIKE THIS MAN?!?!

Plus, let's all admit it. In Avengers, they are attacked by a bad guy with big guns. And of course, Iron Man is the only one with big guns as well. Im quite inclined to believe that he plays a bigger role to defeat the bad guy.

Or... I'm just bias. Either way... I am very excited for the movie to come out!

Anyway... Catch Marvel’s The Avengers in cinemas this 1 May 2012 and like the Official Marvel’s The Avengers Singapore Facebook Page and subscribe to Marvel Singapore YouTube Channel!

Things to consider when getting a Chinchilla
Tuesday, March 20, 2012
Hi everyone!

So recently, my boyfriend got me 2 chinchillas!! I always wanted chinchillas but never got them because it was really expensive. I would always go to pet safari or house of chins to see chinchillas but know that i can never have one. So I was super overjoyed when he bought it for me especially since Moo Moo just died :'( I LOVE YOU DEAR (': I always feel so blessed by him!


HELLO! (: this is KIKI!


Hi! I'm ViVi :p

Anyway... I got to know how to care for chinchillas and thought that i might share that experience with you.

Please consider the following if you are getting a chinchilla!

1. Chinchillas need to be kept in a cool place (< 25 degree Celsius if possible)

So, having chinchillas in Singapore is not exactly the best idea because YES THEY NEED AIR-CON to cool down. Fans will not do because all it does is regulate the air in the room which means that the temperature is the same. So do think if you are willing to spend some money on air-con.

Personally, I don't on my air-con 24/7 but i do on it occasionally as my room temperature in my living room (i don't know why) is usually around 25 degrees. I will only switch on the air-con after playtime or when i know that they are feeling warm (look at their ears! if there is redness and veins popping up, usually they are feeling warm).

2. They get depressed easily!

Ok, I don't know how true this is because i never experience it with my 2 chins. But i do hear that if you only get 1 chin, it may happen unless you play with them.



We have each other to keep company! Aww....

3. Chinchillas DO NOT like to be cuddled.

Seriously, this is a major factor. You can't show them love the normal way of cuddling them because they have short attention span. I am always grateful if I am able to hold onto them for awhile.

SO YES, THEY ARE NOT GOOD PETS FOR KIDS.

4. THEY POOP A LOT!

They can like poop like up to around 200 each day. seriously! and the worst part is you can't potty train it. (You can potty train it's pee though) So every single day, i would just clean up it's poop in his cage so that it's clean.

And if you let it out, you have to clean it's poop which will drop EVERYWHERE because it just does!

5. They need a lot of space to run and jump!

In singapore, if you live in a HDB flat like me, you probably know that space is an issue. So my chins actually have a normal starter chin cage. But I compensate it by bringing it out every single day. That way they are happy.


Here's my starter chin cage. Ensure that your cage have platforms for it to jump!

6. Chinchillas can live up to 15-20 years!

So please be responsible for it's life!

7. They are considered exotic pets so you will be sure that the vet fees wont be cheap.

Do go and find a vet that helps chinchillas first though! Not all vets know how to take care of chinchillas.

8. Once you lose their trust, well... Good luck in getting it back!

They basically know the phrase "Forgive and NEVER Forget." So it will take some time for you to gain back its trust if you ever offend it.

9. They run super fast.

Well, if you let it out, make sure not to chase it or it will scar their tiny lives because they hate being chased. So if you want them to go back to their cages, I don't know how you are going to catch them. I made the mistake of letting them roam the living room and i tried to chase them back. It made it hate me on the very first day and slowly I'm regaining their trust back.

Best way is to gain their trust first and train them to come to you when you call before letting them out. Also, try training them in a small area (eg: toilet) first so that it's easier to handle.

10. THEY ARE DESTROYERS!

They like to bite on things. Well, this is because they think its fun and it can help to file their teeth. Just make sure you don't have wires or things that you don't want them to chew then it would be fine.

A word of caution though... My chins seem to like to wreak my house PAINT. yes, chew the paint! So... just be there to stop them.


I need to file my teeth!

------------------------------------------------------

But of course... they have their benefits!

1. Their fur is SUPER SUPER SOFT.

"IT'S SO FLUFFY!" -Despicable Me

Like super duper soft. even more soft than any pet (rabbit, dog, guniea pig, hamster) i ever had. So it's super nice to touch! haha.


I mean look at it... IT FUR IS LIKE SO FLUFFY!


2. They are cute!


You get to see them hopping around and they might just love climbing on your shoulder which is my personal favourite.

3. They can be trained to do tricks (although this WILL take quite some time)

This itself is cute on so many different levels. Just know that they can't be trained like a dog. IT WILL TAKE A LOT OF TIME AND EFFORT.

4. (To me, this is an advantage)
They are nocturnal animals.




Sleeping in the day...

They will sleep in the morning and wake up at night which is awesome because im more active at night as well. This gives me more time to bond with them

5.
They are super clean!

I'll sand bathe it every few days and they love licking themselves clean.

-----------------------------------------------

Ok, so disadvantages outweigh the advantages - the ratio being 2:1.

BUT even so, I love them... and that's all i need to take care for them. They have their cute side and i can spend hours just looking at them. LOL.


KIKI: "I'M GETTING OUT OF THIS JAIL #LIKEABOSS"

Oh btw... do try to adopt a chinchilla if you want to get one. There are many people abandoning chinchillas because it's quite difficult to take care of one.

In fact, the chins that daryl got for me, we adopted (ahem... when i mean adopted, i mean pay quite a lot) it from another owner WHO DID NOT know how to care for them. When i first got them, they were quite skinny and already had trust issues. But nevertheless, I still wanted them because they are cute and I was willing to go the extra mile to let it trust me. Now they are more healthy, and i feel like a proud mom who had just risen great kids. lol.

All in all, chinchillas are great pets as long you know how to treat it properly (:


Bye! - Vivi

If you wanna ask me any questions regarding chinchillas, feel free to do so by pressing "comments" below. I'll try my best to answer them (:

ZA True White Plus Liquid Foundation Review + ZA Launch
Wednesday, February 29, 2012

Are you like me...? Finding a good foundation that last throughout the day and have a good finish? At the same time, it should have SPF and reasonably priced?


I have tried so many foundations and wants something that fits all my criteria! :(

So recently, I was very happy to be invited to a Za Preview Product Launch at Selfish Gene Cafe. I really liked the place. It was cosy and had that 'chillax' atmosphere that a cafe should have. keke.. shall drag daryl to that place one day!




i loved this wall!!


Beautiful setup by the Za girls (:




So I went to the cafe early because i didn't know where it was exactly, but still got lost! (TvT) ARGHHHH... can't read a map even if my life depends on it. LOL. So in the end i was late for the launch!



Once I reached there, I quickly settled down and ordered this chocolate cake!!


The Za girls were really very friendly and nice! Of course, the other 6 bloggers there were really bubbly and nice in real life too!! Anyway, the Za girls organized this mini-event for us to do! haha... it was....






Being a Barista!!!!!!! OKAY, perhaps... not really... seeing that i didn't do a very good job at it. haha


So Gene (the cafe owner) was the one who was going to teach us how to make designs for our drinks. haha.


He tried to teach us how to do a simple design!


The end product!! Looks difficult...? haha nope! it was actually quite easy. PLUS if i did any mistakes... i could always cover it up with Coco powder. :P


Yi Ying tries to do one herself too! Btw... doesn't she look like Kay Kay from this angle? haha


She did a simple design of a happy face!! kawaii desu sho?


So finally, it's my turn to try!! GUESS WHAT I DID?


TAMAGO (Egg)!! It looks like a fried egg right???














haha no la... that's not the end product yet!! This is!! nice? i think it looks like a flower (:

Anyway, the event was going to an end and all of us received nice gifts from Za!!


So here's the review of the items that i have received - Za True White Plus Liquid Foundation and Deep Cleansing Oil!


First to be reviewed is Za True White Plus Liquid Foundation! It's available in 6 colours (yellowish or pinkish tones are available!!)

It has SPF 25 PA++, Spotless brightening powder, Poreless powder and Vitamin C, E to help improve your skin!


I am using the foundation now (in 0C0W colour/lightest tone) and I love it! like SERIOUSLY!! Firstly, if you see in this picture, I am using flash which is usually quite harsh on the skin. But my skin still looks nice! What i want to say is... this foundation rocks! it provides enough coverage. And the good thing about it is that it can last for a whole day. I wore this foundation out on a sunny day and it still stayed on my face. I didn't need to touch up or do anything and it still looked perfect on me. (In fact this picture was taken after a long day and it still stayed!)


Secondly, i think the price is quite good being $23.50 (available exclusively in Watsons from 1 March onwards) and it brightens up my skins and take away all those ugly uneven skin tone that i have. And what's better is that it has SPF protection.


So my verdict? I like it - it's available in my skin tone, provides good coverage, makes my skin fairer, has SPF protection (v important to protect your skin in Singapore!), and reasonably priced :D Adding this to my makeup pouch!


Next to be reviewed is the Deep Cleansing Oil. You can use this to remove your makeup.


I opened it after i took the photos and used it. It comes out as a clear liquid. Once you spread it evenly on your face, wipe water over your face and it will become milky. Then just wash it away!

I was quite surprised that it didn't leave any oily residue or anything and my skin felt smooth after it.


hehe... I like this! easy to remove all my make up at one go (even my water proof makeup!) and it has Vitamin E to help to repair your skin!

The only con about this is that i had fake eyelashes on and my good eyelash glue refused to come off after one wash (which is quite normal). So i had to wash it a second time using cotton wool and it came off! So not bad at all, Za deep cleansing oil!


On a side note, i love the Za Models, especially Jun Hasegawa! Always love to see her walks and pictures on magazines!

I definitely will recommend the ZA True White Plus Liquid Foundation! Great buy!

P.S: A new blog post under this!
