No.1 on AMAZON JAPAN! ALOBABY outdoor spray & Milk Lotion Review

I'm always a fan of Japan's skincare range and I would love to share something I love and it ranked No.1 on Amazon Japan!

 I've received these before CNY and used it almost everyday on myself and my nephew who is just 2 months old. As ALOBABY made of 99%+ naturally-derived ingredients with Non-toxic: Additive-free, Coloring-free, Synthetic Perfume-free. I feel safe every time when I use them because it is so gentle and effective.

ALOBABY products are developed based on the opinions of experienced mothers who have used organic skin-care products during pregnancy. They aim to deliver reliable products with premium quality to both you and your babies. It's effective for newborn baby to adults, even for those with sensitive skin. ALOBABY uses natural fragrance from Lavender & Rose & Lemongrass to make you feel relax and their products are 100% made in Japan.

In Japan, there is actually a fast growing trend of adults coveting baby skincare products. Some of us who is having sensitive skin like me, are falling in love with baby range like ALOBABY.

Alobaby Outdoor Mist
This Outdoor Mist is one of Alobaby's top sellers and I can easily tell why. The bottle is a convenient size, and its DEET-Free - which is safe for the babies, and us. The scent is soothing lemongrass and rosemary oil, and the spray function is both convenient and economical. I spray freely on myself and on my nephew who is just 2-month-old. It's an organic Outdoor Spray repels insects with natural derived aroma so it keeps us safe from insects like mosquitos especially in Asia country.

It is made from Orange Fruit Water, Lemongrass Oil and Rosemary Oil. Ideal DEET-free formula protects baby's skin gently. Not only for baby, it's also safe for pregnant mummies. One thing I love the most -  it protects our skin from the sun too with SPF 15 UVA & UVB. Insects repellent and Sunscreen two in one bottle, easy peasy!

Alobaby Milk Lotion
Made-in-Japan organic Milky Lotion is ALOBABY's signature item. It provides high moisturizing effect and is certified by the world-known ECOCERT. Contains natural moisturizing ingredients, such as Jojoba Oil and Shea Butter.

I've let Kai tried this and this definitely works like magic to calm down and to moisture his skin even he has a Eczema condition on his arms and legs. I love it's lavender and rose scents that subtle in it to make me feel so relax and pampered every time I applied this milk lotion.


ALOBABY products are super lightweight. It's suitable for us in Asia. Non-sticky texture but moisturizes my skin very effectively! Baby skincare products are gentle so good for adults as well.


And now you know what to buy for yourself or maybe as gift to others easily! ALOBABY it is!

三十日 Herdays Sanitary Pads & Liners Review

I'm a girl who loves to stock up sanitary pads at home and I would change them almost every time I go to the toilet for hygiene purposes. I've found a brand from Taiwan recently and I would love to share it with all of you lovely girls. ( Guys if you are here so happened to read the post, you can also share this info to your beloved family members or partner )


三十日 Herdays Sanitary Pads & Liners are infused with Chinese Physician's natural plant remedies for better anti-bacteria. The minty feelings come from the Mint helps for a minor cooling while we wearing the pads. Most importantly, their pads are chemical free, fragrance free, plasticiser free and fluorescent free.

 It's super thin and featherlike 

 Let's do a water test. 

 And I've wait for a minute, covered with a thin layer of tissue

 and I tapped it equally on the wet pad.

 It's Amazing isn't it? The tissue is still dry. It means the water that I've poured has been fully absorbed into the pad.

 Then the pad turns ticker and gel-soft texture. Well done on the absorption!

Before & After water test.

These are the pads that I've using since my last cycle.

My reviews:

About the packaging:
I would say their packaging design is awesome! The colour, the design and the matte material make it more trendy and minimalist. I don't feel shy even if I need to hold it in the public and have a walk. They have an "Open" sticker like wet tissue where you can easily open it and keep the rest clean and dust-free. Thumbs up on the design!!

About the scent:
I smell plants every time I take a pad out from the packaging. If you are an essential oil's lover like me, you will love this scent. Mild rose and eucalyptus with a hint of mint.

About the texture of the pads:
Super duper soft cotton and very slim. I feel my skin being well taken care of. The wings that stick to our panties will not have excess glue when you withdraw your pad, this is something I like!

About the absorption:
It just works perfectly even the pads are not thick at all, or I should say it is super slim.

About the price:
I surprised that this is actually more worth it compared to those commercial brand without any goodness in it. You can get it cheaper when you get more at once.
Tips: buy it together with your friends/sister/cousins to save more on cost!

About the delivery: 
They do delivery to Singapore & Malaysia.
Free shipping is available when you buy 6 or more.

GRAND Plastic Surgery Korea : My Liposuction Review with Before & AfterPhotos

It has been 7 months since I’ve gone through Liposuction surgery, and I think this is the best time for me to write a review regarding it. Cosmetic surgery has been a norm these days, with exceptional low risk but effective way for better shape, almost every lady are falling in love with it. Many curious what happened to me after the surgery, thus I’m writing a review to share about my experience about liposuction, and hopefully it would help to those who are interested or planning to go for it.


1. Is Liposuction painful?
To be frank, throughout the operation till post operation, I do not feel much pain with it. There’s bit of swelling with the treated area, which is normal. Only when the next day of operation, I felt pain to put on the compression garment as per required. It is kindly painful as the garment has to be tighter for the treated area, which is my both of my thigh. On the third day, there will be bruises all over both swelling thigh and you won’t really want to move your legs. It is the pain from the bruise and swelling, rather than the treated area.

GRAND Plastic Surgery Korea : My Liposuction Review ( Part 1 )

It's my forth month now after I went through my liposuction treatment with Grand Plastic Surgery. I'll say, no regrets on this decision as I found myself really happier and more confident to fit into the attires I like and looking good in them. 

It's like a dream! 

I know many of you are curious and interested to know the "making of" a new me, and the exciting sharing has begun:

My Liposuction was scheduled on the April's fool day. I've been told that no food or drink intake 10 hours before my liposuction, so I fast since the night before.

I was so excited for it! All I can think of is a "balanced" Charlene. On the Liposuction day, I went to Grand in the morning and my personal translator, Yoonah attended to me. she guided me through the steps before entering to the surgery room. 

Aura & Miracles : LPG LipoMassage & EndermoLift Review

Queen's Market : Eyelashes Extension & Gel Nail

Believe it or not, this is my first eye lashes extension and gel nail experience. Thanks to Maki jiang from Queen's market who did a fabulous art work on them. She is a lovely girl from Japan and she owns a beauty shop at Tanjong Pagar road. I feel happy to meet her and her assistant who looks extremely like Mayi 麻衣 from Taiwan, and her name is Mami. ( If I didn't spell it wrongly ) They are so sweet and patient during the beauty services, you will love them like I do. 

I asked for a super natural yet lovely eye lashes as I seldom put on make up and I think this suit me very well. Is the eye lashes heavy? Not at all. My eyes look obviously bigger and no eye liner needed for a charming look.   =)

I took some times to choose for my gel nail design as they all look lovely to me! I just can't choose one.  >v<   Now I know why some girls addicted to gel nail as I can see myself become a regular very soon. The gel nail last very well on me and they still look good even after two weeks. Thanks to Maki jiang and Mami jiang, you girls are Awesome!

SkinnyMint Teatox Review

Teatox, a big hit recently that detoxify your body and helps you to stay away from toxins. I've embarked my journey with SkinnyMint and I'm proud to share my review here after my 28 Day Ultimate Teatox Program.

Here comes the SkinnyMint review..

Everyone wants to detox, but do you know how it affect our body? Long-term exposure to toxins affects our metabolism, behavior, immune system, and leads to disease and cancer. They are stored in tissues and cells throughout the body, including the brain, often for years -yikes!

I love the idea of natural detoxing, this is the reason why I love SkinnyMint Night Cleanse so much! Besides of detox, it also helps me to sleep better. I used to be a light sleeper but not now anymore, which I found myself energized the next day.

Some people might say it doesn't work on them, but are they drink it the right way? It also depends on individual, as you know we are all unique, different from each other. Some people might found that the effect of Night Cleanse is perfect for them even they just soak the teabag for 3 minutes, but some people might get the same effect if they soak the teabag in for 30minutes.

People always ask me "does it works?" It works for me on detoxify and cleanse. If you talk about slimming, cardio will be a plus to go with SkinnyMint Teatox. The workout enhances body shape while the teatox helps to detox and increase metabolism, so it's easier for you to get the best result.

"I always believe that hard work paid off!"

 Look at my tummy haha

* Feeling shy* I found it less boated and easier to build muscle perhaps! ^^

The confident level is getting higher and higher, feel so good during my shopping time as I can fit in most of the outfits I bring to the fitting room. Imagine if you can wear whatever you like and you look good in any attire, what's not to love? :p

Health is the real Wealth!

Glad to receive this sponsorship from SkinnyMint for their TeaTox system. A new term used to describe a "detox tea" system to help individuals lose weight. The teatox systems comes with both a morning tea which increases energy levels and metabolism, and an evening tea which is a colon cleanse. The evening tea is the main part of a 'teatox' and often contains senna leaf, a natural mild laxative, which detoxifies the body.

SkinnyMint TeaTox Review:

I've tried my first 14 days teatox and it pleases me greatly! Besides of getting rids of unhealthy toxin from my body, I can feel my body also gain energy after the teatox as previously I did feel tired easily. A cleanse is important for our body just like we do scrub and wash our face before we applying skin cares. I always want to get something to detoxify my body and I'm glad to have this 100% natural ingredients teatox to fit this role. I feel my body is light meanwhile skin is glowing after two weeks of teatox by SkinnyMint. If it is something good and healthy to our body, why not ?

[Giveaway + Review] HABA - Pursuing true beauty

Quote " Charlene Tan " to get 15% off 

on your purchase in HABA before 31st of March 2014. 
Discount cannot be applied with other promotions.

Health Aid Beauty Aid ( HABA ), is a MUTENKA brand of skin care, make up and health supplement from Hokkaido, Japan. Non-additive skin cares are always my first concern and I'm glad to share with  you that HABA is free of Parabens, fragrances, mineral oils, chemically synthesised tar colours and petrochemical surfactants. HABA and I both believe that beauty is from the in-side out, Safe to use is always their priority to create their products.

Why non-additive?
Additive like Parabens are basically the preservatives that commonly use in other brands. Guess what? Some scientists have concluded that the presence of parabens may be associated with the occurrence of breast cancer. Read more here in Wikipedia. What about Mineral oil? Mineral oil is a petrochemical, a derivative of crude oil. It has large molecules which are unable to penetrate the surface of the skin, therefore it acts a non-absorbent oily film, said to 'lock in moisture'. But is this such a great thing? Initially, the skin will feel smooth, as you might expect. However, this layer of mineral oil smothers your skin like cling film, preventing it from breathing naturally. Which in turn enables sweat and bacteria to become trapped beneath the layer of oil. This can exacerbate eczema and psoriasis problems and potentially create a false dependency in the long term.
