How to: Get away with sunburn (I didn't believe until it happened to me)

Ok so a long time ago when I was much younger and used to go to the beach (aka Sentosa, East Coast Park) once every few weeks for beach volleyball and also just to chill, I was tanning a lot.

I did not think much about sun screen, protection and what not.

As I grew older my skin showed signs of aging and deterioration, I still didn't put in much thought into it, only occasionally using a BB cream as a base to my make up.

BUT it is becoming a problem when it comes to make up because if I get too dark I have to change my foundation powder shade. ALSO. It is almost impossible to put on make up when your face is sunburnt, with all the pain, discomfort and PEELING. I can't even wear my clothes properly okay. T_T

NOT TO MENTION...
FRECKLES. UNEVEN PIGMENTATION (from all random the sunburnt spots)

So anyway I started to use the basic skincare regime from Recherche Skincare.

The Basic Skincare Regime (BSR) series is your foundation steps to healthy, beautiful skin; it cleanses, tones, moisturises，repairs and protects. Pregnancy-safe, it is gentle and suitable for expectant mothers throughout the pregnancy.

After just 28 days of usage, clinical studies have shown significant improvements in:

1. Increased hydration and moisture

2. Firmer and more plumb, youthful-looking skin

3. Reduction of wrinkles

4. Increased skin stem cell metabolism

Stem cells have shown 85% increase in metabolism activities in just 2 days after usage of BSR. A higher metabolism means skin cells are able to rejuvenate more quickly.

Did not seem too difficult... But still, it was quite intimidating to have more than 2 steps in my routine  (cleanse, moisturise) xD

I really love this Protective Hydrator the most because it acts as a lock in for whatever I applied before it, and also a sunblock.

Was able to avoid getting sunburnt on my face thanks to it!

Wish I had more to apply my entire body lol then I wouldn't look like a cooked lobster as seen above.

The skincare does not take much time to set in (maybe 2-3 minutes?), and is a perfect base before make up! Was able to apply make up immediately, effortlessly. Some products will make me have patches when applying loose powder / foundation if I do not give enough time to set. Not sure if you understand this but it is super bad because the patches do not go away and looks really uneven and I will have to use make up remover, wash off everything, skincare regime again and then apply a fresh layer of foundation. Waste a lot of time!!!

Say hi to glowing skin, even after age of 25! :P

Trendy Wireless Music On-The-Go

Nowadays everybody is changing to wireless earphones, be it AirPods or not. I think the demand is much higher now that the newest iPhone models do not have the headphone jack so people are more inclined to try the bluetooth wireless technology. Kinda forced to, but being one of the converts myself, I thought it isn't so bad a change. Just remember where you keep your earphones xD

So today I want to talk about Sudio's Tre Wireless Earphones.

"Wireless in-ear model with wing tip for a secure fit - inspired by an active lifestyle."

Of course I had to choose the blue colour one xD

So it was a pretty cool box with the earphones, a leather pouch for the earphones, charging cable, different sizes of wing tips (for you to adjust but the general one worked for me!), a metal clip to hold the wire and a manual.

Wireless to the phone but the two ends are still connected to a wire of course.

The charging took quite fast. 2 hours for full charge (9-hourbattery life), 10 minutes quick charge is fine to use for a few hours too. 

And then I started using it on the way to dinner.

It matches my outfit of the day ^_^

I loved that the leather pouch is also blue so it matches everything. 

It is essential designed for you to play sports / sweat in, but it still looks very chic for day to day use, with a minimalist design of metal finishings and gold tinted buttons on it. It is super lightweight so it doesn't fall off my ears as I walk and listen to my music.

Compatible with android and apple phones. ^^
