[Beauty Review] Visit to Elevatione Time Stops by Salvador Dali on 13 April 2017

When I first heard of Elevatione Time Stops by Salvador Dali, I was surprised that Salvador Dali, a prolific artists of the twentieth century, actually endorsed for skincare and cosmetics.

After I visited the outlet located at 333A Orchard Road Mandarin Gallery #01-17, I finally realised that all the creations are inspired by the "melting" clock painting by Salvador Dali.  In his honour, Elevatione will stop time, send the clock’s hands ticking backwards and allow women worldwide to control their own destiny. 

Elevatione Time Stops by Salvador Dali was a brand born and manufactured in Israel, 2013.

It is a global luxury skincare and cosmetics brand with presence in London, USA, Hong Kong and Singapore. 

You can walk into the store and the friendly staff will assist you to find out which products are suitable for you.  There is a machine that analyses your skin type, the melanin level, bacteria level, the level of sagginess of the face, etc.  

It was very interesting to see the results of the scan and it made me realised how important it is to take good care of my skin.

Elevatione Time Stops by Salvador Dali has six ranges of products, namely Preserve Your Youth, Repair Your Youth, Body Art, Pearls, Travel Kit and Special Kits.

Review of Esteé Lauder Pure Colour Envy Sculpting Eyeshadow-Colour Palette and Pure Colour Envy Hi-Lustre Light Sculpting Lipstick

As an image consultant, I love testing out cosmetics to create different looks for different occasions.  That way, I can impact my knowledge on makeup to my participants in the workshops as well.  

When I received the Esteé Lauder Pure Colour Envy Sculpting Eyeshadow 5-Colour Palette and the Pure Colour Envy Hi-Lustre Light Sculpting Lipstick from Sephora SG, I was extremely excited.  The colours are so brilliant that I couldn't wait to try them on my face.

The awesome benefit about Esteé Lauder Pure Colour Envy Sculpting Eyeshadow 5-Colour Palette in Envious Orchid is that the eyeshadows can be applied dry for a 10-hour wear or wet for a 12-hour wear.  This also means you can go extremely natural with softer tones or extremely dramatic with heavier colours.

This compact ultraluxe palette comes with 5 eyeshadows, 2 sponge applicators and a mirror, making it the ideal choice in your makeup bag when travelling too.

Each long-lasting neutral hues comes in a versatile texture that creates a range of unexpected looks when you mix the colours using your own creativity.

You can choose to go all-natural or amp up the drama with with this palette.  The lighter shades lift and illuminate, mid-tones shape and contour and the deepest colours tone and define for smoky allure.

The Esteé Lauder Pure Color Envy Sculpting Lipstick in Bold Innocent is of medium coverage with shimmer finish.  It's bullet-shaped tip allows you to follow the curve of your lips when applying the lipstick colour.  It is highly pigmented hence the colour shows up brilliantly for up to six hours of wear.

I am going to combine both products to create 3 different looks using the 'cheat sheet' that comes with Esteé Lauder Pure Colour Envy Sculpting Eyeshadow 5-Colour Palette in Envious Orchid.  It becomes so easy to apply eyeshadows... yeah!

Tell me which look is your favourite, ok?

The Natural LOOK

By using the lighter colours in the palette, everyone can easily recreate this look.  Great for ladies who want something light for an everyday look.

The Intensified LOOK

This look is great if you want something that is slightly stronger but yet acceptable in the office.
With more colours, it brightens up one's look instantly.

The Dramatic LOOK

This is what I call the va-va-voom look.  It is definitely stronger than the above two looks.  I could actually go even stronger on the eyeshadow colours but I know a lot of ladies wouldn't dare to go too heavy on the eyeshadow colours.  Hence I create a look that is still wearable even in the daytime but with stronger colours.

It's really hard for me to choose the most favourite of amongst the three looks as I love both the intensified and dramatic looks.

Do you want to create the same looks for yourself?  It's really easy... all you need to do is to shop for  your favourite Estee Lauder products here!  

Follow the 'cheat' sheet provided with the Esteé Lauder Pure Colour Envy Sculpting Eyeshadow 5-Colour Palette and people will be amazed with your transformation of different looks everyday.

Review of V10 Plus Skincare Products, World's 1st Skin Supplement Concept

V10 Plus is a revolutionary supplement concept founded by Mrs. Akiko Yokota.  She strongly believes that Beautiful Skin=Clean, Bright, Glowing Skin without any makeup, hence she worked towards finding the perfect skin solution to skin problems and also make anti-ageing a natural process as well.  Together with Chemist, Mr Nobu, who has 19 years of experience in the skin-care industry, the serums are researched, studied and self-tested by Mrs Akiko Yokota ad Mr Nobu themselves to ensure that the finest quality of result proven serums are brought to customers.

As you can see the reason why the founder called the brand V10 Plus is because there are 10 colourful bottles of serums that target different areas of skin concerns.  The word 'Plus' means you do not need to change your current skincare products.  All you need to do is to add in the selected serum/s into your skincare regimen.  There is also one bottle that is opaque and that falls under special care which I would explain later in the post. 

V10 Plus products can't be bought over the counter and they are only available in selected spas, beauty salons and nail salons.  The reason is that a consultant will have to go through a consultation with a customer, before recommending him/her the serums which are the most suitable.

The top 10 selling points of V10 Plus serums are:

1. No Paraben
2. No Artificial Colour
3. No Mineral Oil
4. No Chemical Fragrance
5. Water Based
6. Customized Serums for 10 Skin Problems
7. Dermatologist-tested
8. Visible results in Just 10 Days
9. Colour Therapy from Colourful Bottles
10. Made in Japan

 Apparently, Fann Wong, Singapore famous actress, has been using V10 Plus too!  Look at what she has inside her bag.

The colourful bottles were very eye catching indeed and simply so pretty to look at!

Besides the serums, V10 Plus has also other skincare products, ranging from cleansers, water based peeling, gels, eye treatment cream and sunblock too.

 I was very honoured when Mr Tony Tjong, Marketing Director of V10 Plus, approached me to try out their revolutionary skincare products.  Thanks Tony!

Guess what Tony prepared for me inside this very pretty bag? :)

Cool!  I have gotten a V10 Plus Water Based Peeling which is an extremely interesting product as it effectively removes dead skin cells, even though it doesn't contain any beads or grains.  Yes... no harsh scrubbing needed!

Use this product 1-3 times a week depending on your skin condition.  For normal skin, once a week is fine.  For oily skin, 2-3 times a week is great.

This product comes in a gel form and how does it help in peeling to remove dead skin cells?  I'm gonna to reveal the secret of this amazing product.  Check out my youtube video below.  I just started my blog in my YouTube Channel.  Do kindly support by subscribing to it.  Thanks everyone!

One of the two serums I tried was V10 Plus Vitamin C Serum which contains Obaku Ekisu (JTN) Extract, which has an anti-acne formulation.  It helps in synthesis of collagen in the skin, so that pores are minimised.  It also helps to cure inflammatory pimples. 

The other serum was V10 Plus Quasi Serum.  It focuses on the chemistry of melanin metabolism to bestow a beautiful brightness on the skin, bringing out clarity and fairness from every angle.

It contains active ingredients such as Salix Alba(Willow) Bark Extract and Hydrolysed Prunus Domestica that inhibit the formation and accumulation of melanin and prevent dark spots and freckles.  With its water base texture, it leads to bright , radiant and translucent skin.

The serums are very easy to apply.  After you wash and tone your face, drop three drops of the serum into your palm and apply them onto your face.

After that, continue with the next serum using the same step.

 Again, apply the serum onto your cleansed face, day and night.

I have also gotten a V10 Plus Deep Moist Gel to moisturise my face and keep it hydrated throughout the day.  It is one of V10 Plus latest product that contains 75% Hyaluronic Acid Complex, that moisturize your skin from deep within.

Also, the V10 Plus LX Advanced Eye Treatment Cream consists of Malus Domestica Fruit Cell Culture(Apple Stem Cell), Plantago Major Seed Extract and Vaccinium Myrtillus Leaf Extract.  It helps to bolster the skin eye area's resistance against dryness and maintains the vital moisture at the best optimal level to restore skin elasticity and firmness.

I will be visiting a nail salon and beauty salon which use V10 Plus products and will blog about my experiences.  Follow this blog to see how V10 Plus products can be incorporated during manicure, pedicure and facial services.
