Online Shopping For Modern Jewelry

My husband often tells me that he can’t understand why women like to go shopping. Somehow, we seem to have an endless list of things to shop for – from beauty skin care to household items to fashion jewelry. When it comes to shopping for contemporary or fashion jewelry, I can never have enough. How many of us ladies stick to the same pair of earrings or have only one necklace? The answer is a resounding ‘no’!

There are so many different kinds of jewelry – Earrings, bracelets, rings, necklaces, gold or silver. Depending on your skin tone, you may look great in silver or gold. I used to regard silver as a more casual an affordable choice while gold, a more sophisticated and ‘upmarket’ adornment. But this is not true anymore. These days, silver can look just as sophisticated and gold, in return, can be casual and relaxed.

You can now shop online and be spoilt with plenty of choices in your jewelry shopping. Many of these online stores ship worldwide and have secure payment modes that protect the online shopper from any possible fraud. Men and women are finding it convenient and satisfying to buy their jewelry online, including white and yellow gold, sterling silver or titanium. There are also many stores that specialize in contemporary jewelry like beads, glass and other organic materials.

Whatever your heart desires, it is always interesting and a pleasure to go shopping for various styles and designs of jewelry, especially if it is worn in taste and in style.

Go Shopping at Great Singapore Sale

It always feels good to go shopping in Singapore, especially when the Great Singapore Sale is on! Yes, I was back for a few days as it is school holidays and it was a fruitful trip!

Initially, I didn’t think that the Great Singapore Sale was that great, maybe because I didn’t have enough time to visit many shops. As usual, I headed to Tangs to the lingerie department. This is always a good department to visit when the sale is on! I was rather glad to grab a couple of briefs from Elle at only S$6.90 and a nice Jockey under wired padded bra for S$16 – good stuff!

I finally got round to visit Dr Hauschka counter and saw the Regenerating Series for anti aging skin. I used to think that I won’t need anti aging skin products as yet but I thought it would be good to start the protection early. I replenished my tube of Dr.Hauschka Rejuvenating Mask and decided to try out the Regnerating Serum too. This activating serum works to firm mature skin and minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Red clover is known for its skin regenerating abilities and is an antioxidant-rich herb. It is used to treat premature skin aging by neutralizing free radicals while promoting cellular renewal naturally. Hydrating quince seed extract combines with extracts of revitalizing kalanchoe and organic clover blossom honey to support the skin’s natural functions of renewal. I will be posting my review in a couple of weeks’ time!

Another nice trip was a visit to OnPedder. It turned out that the shop was having a 30% storewide with an additional 5% for VIP members and DBS credit card members. I was attracted to a pair of Chloe wedge shoes but couldn’t find one in my size :( Then came a pair of signature Valentino red bow flats but it was that comfortable. The lady was very helpful and showed me two pairs of metallic gold and silver Giuseppe Zanotti peep toes and they were lovely. I continued looking around and tried out others including Amaya and Marc by Marc Jacobs.

Out of curiosity, I picked up a pair of coral (infrarose) Repetto Ballerina, slipped it on and boy, I was so happy with it. With 30% and an additional 5%, it was a good buy for Repetto shoes cos it was so comfortable! I had to say goodbye to Camper for now cos the new designs are not so refreshing anymore. I finally walked out with a pair of silver Giuseppe Zanotti wedge shoes and the Repetto Ballerine Infrarose. The coral colored patent leather has a rainbow reflective color which is unique and very feminine. I’m never a big fan of ballerina shoes but this is one exception – I am geared for a good change!

So you see why I am so happy with my trip to Singapore… It is so easy to go shopping in Singapore – all thanks to the efficient transport system. I even managed to steal time to check out some desktops for my brother who is thinking of a new PC. The day ended with a nice salad at Canele… now I’m missing the chocolate fondant!

When Women Go Shopping and Indulge

Sometimes we women just love to indulge. We can go shopping all day in the mall and end up with loads of things or sometimes we just be just happy browsing and window shopping. And they also call this ‘retail therapy’.

For instance, our husbands or boyfriends may find it hard to understand why we need another pair of shoes or another tote bag. Why can’t we just stick to that same pair of sandals or same shoulder bag? I’m sure you have explained times and times again about different styles requiring different attire and accessories but still, they can’t seem to comprehend why we still need to go shopping for new shoes and bags.

So let’s get back to my earlier introductory statement on ‘indulgence’. Summer is here and you may feel like some simple indulgence on new beach flip flips or a new summer tote bag. Here are a couple of my online favorites:

1) Marc by Marc Jacobs Tote-ally Miss Marc

I have a couple of Marc by Marc Jacob bags and I have always like MJ for its simplicity, quality and modernity. Marc by Marc Jacob’s bags are rather affordable and you can always expect little surprises in every season. Here’s a review of the Marc by Marc Jacobs Tote-ally Miss Marc:

I’ve been dreaming of owning a Marc Jacobs bag for the longest time now. I own plenty of handbags and I have to say that this is one of my favorites! Although it’s only a fraction of the cost of my other bags, nothing matches Miss Marc’s whimsy and adorable outfits. The inside lining matches my MJ barette so that’s another plus. The only thing that you have to be cautious about is that it IS a natural canvas- so you have to baby it a bit more than you normally would. Also, Miss Marc is printed onto there so at some point- she will probably scuff off. I take exceptional care of my bags and sell handbags for a retailer so my bag is still in great condition. It’s definitely worth the extra care to own such a great bag though! I love it and wish I could own every single Miss Marc tote!

2) Women’s handbags: Orla Kiely Book Bag – Raspberry

I’ve always like Orla Kiely bags. Simple, functional, cheerful, chic and attractive. Their fabrics are unique and pretty, so nice that it’s hard to choose one from another. This cute Orla Kiely Book Bag is just the right color and style for bringing some ‘life’ and cheer to your workplace. Here’s a useful review that says more about the Orla Kiely Book Bag:

Great bag for walking to work!
This bag is larger than I expected, but that’s turned out to be a good thing. I’m using it on the days I have several things to carry to work: heels, food, wallet, phone, bottle of water and who knows what else. The bag is roomy enough to hold these things without being stuffed & bulky. I also like that it’s gotten me out of my purse + shopping bag full of stuff routine. I was worried about the handles since it seemed they should be a little longer, but it is not a problem at all. I’m small but can fit the handles over a medium coat without any problems.

So get ready this summer and start shopping for your beach wear and swim suits. I know some people are already working out in the gym to shed those extra pounds or trying out other weight loss methods like Decaslim. Above all, you may wanna go shopping for some good sunscreen to protect your skin from the sun’s harmful rays. Happy Indulging!

Go Shopping For Dremu Oil: Better Than Botox!

Whenever we go shopping for a particular beauty product, we would love to read reviews of what real users have to say. We want to hear their experiences and most of all, if that beauty product is worth the money before we even decide to invest on it.

I was taken by this simple quote, “Better than Botox” by the Chicago Tribune and couldn’t helped but to explore more about Dremu Oil. Who would have thought that the big brown bird from down under can be used to formulate a beauty product that erases wrinkles (without needles!), boost cell rejuvenation, fades stretch marks and scars and brings instant hydration to dry and dull skin?

So how do Dremu Oil really work?
According to the website, the properties of emu oil can penetrate the skin thus moisturizes and nourishes the skin with essential fatty acids and regrows collagen. And since it doesn’t clog pores and is hypo-allergenic, anti-inflammatory and pain relieving, it is suitable for acne sufferers and those with sensitive skin. Dremu Oil penetrates the outer skin and nourishes and heals the skin at the deepest levels.

If you are looking for a pure and natural product to combat your anti aging concerns, you will be pleased to know that Dremu Oil is made of 100% Pure Triple-Refined Emu Oil. There are no preservatives, stabilizers, perfumes or any other ingredient added to this product. Just 2-4 drops and that’s enough for your entire face.

So does Dremu Oil get rid of lines and wrinkles?
Yes. Collagen acts as a cushion between layers of skin and keeps the skin supple, smooth, elastic and wrinkle free. As we increase in age, our ability to produce collagen decreases. Wrinkles are formed when less collagen causes the epidermis (outside skin) to fold and collapse.

Clinical studies have shown that emu oil actually regenerates collagen. You will immediately notice the moisturizing and softening effects. Used 2-3 times daily for 4-6 weeks you will visibly see your skin plump up and your wrinkles diminish. Depending on how many and how deep the wrinkles it may take up to 9 months to fully erase them. Unlike plastic surgery, botox injections, collagen injections or fat injections, you can see that Dremu Oil has no harmful side effects – short term or long term. It is pain free and does not require you to go anywhere, does not involve any expensive consultations and is cost effective.

Dremu Triple Refined Emu Oil

No description is better than users’ reviews so let’s hear what Dremu oil customers have to say before you go shopping for another great beauty product:

I would recommend this product to anyone

Posted by Daniella Adams, L.P.N., M.A. , Miami, Florida

As both a nurse and the wife of a physician, I operated a dermatology practice within the Family Practice. Many people came to me with their various skin complaints looking for treatments or products. We introduced Emu oil as an alternative to many other products that were very harsh to use around the eyes. Patients found Emu oil to be gentle but very effective at reducing the fine lines that appear around the eyes when used consistently. I would recommend this product to anyone who is looking for a solution for wrinkles around their eyes who hesitate to use prescription or other products that contain harsher ingredients.

I absolutely love Dremu Oil! I had very dry skin, which aged me even worse, then I started using Dremu Oil and WOW! Couldn’t believe how much younger I look. I have a 20 year old daughter and people at times think we are friends. I made my sister a believer and now she uses it too.

I WAS SURPRISED THAT IT ACTUALLY WORKS

Posted by Fiona Brown

My brother kye in the electronics business gave me a bottle, it was give to him by a friend while visiting Florida. I laughed at what it was made from but decided to try it. OMG, the next day after i used it, my face felt hydrated, my skin felt plump and new. By week three i saw that it reduced my forehead wrinkles,you have to look for them to find them. My neck and chest area looks brigher and more youthful. I am on my second bottle, i told my aunts and mother and friends. I know for sure this products works because it happened for me and many others who i have told about it. I used many things before the Emu Oil and nothing worked or better yet showed any results. I even use it on my lips before i apply lipstick and they are plump and smooth. THIS PRODUCT WORKS.

Go Shopping For the Must-Have Items For Your Make-Up Kit

All of us women who go shopping know that a trip to the make up store or cosmetics department can easily set us back hundreds of dollars. Well, if you invest on good beauty products that will make a positive difference in your appearance, then the money is considered well spent.  Similarly, when you stock up on beauty products that you don’t use because you realize you don’t need them or worse, they are bought out of impulse and they are the wrong beauty products for you!

Don’t feel bad about bad decisions when you go shopping, this happens to every one of us. When it comes to beauty products for women, there are some must-have items for your make-up kit.  The brand you choose will depend on your budget, your preferences and your skin type but the below will serve as your guideline for you when you go beauty shopping to avoid unnecessary make-up purchases.

1. Tinted moisturizer- Keeping your makeup simple is a good thing unless you’re going to a dinner party, a special invitation or a photo shoot. Purchase a good tinted moisturizer or a mineral foundation. Tinted moisturizers give your skin an even, clean, natural look.  It also gives you the added benefit of moisturizing your skin. Mineral foundation makeup offers your skin an even and natural coverage too.

2. Tweezers- there is nothing like clean brows to give your face an instant face-lift. With the right brow shape, your face can look young and clean. The best tweezers are relatively cheap so they will probably be the cheapest must-have in your make-up kit. Good tweezers can last you many years.

Don’t overpluck your eye brows as thinned eyebrows can instantly lead to an aging look! If you don’t have thick and bold eyebrows, take a look at the first and only cosmeceutical brow conditioner – LIBROW (see banner above). LiBrow contains a rich base of powerful vitamins, minerals, and proteins that were specifically blended to help stimulate and strengthen the coarse eyebrow hair.

Apply LiBrow Purified Eyebrow Stimulator daily to the skin in those areas where your eyebrows need the most help. Whether trying to restore eyebrow symmetry or just repair your eyebrows from well intentioned overplucking LiBrow will help dramatically. In weeks you will begin to notice the appearance of your eyebrow hair filling in nicely exactly where you need it most. In several months you will be shaping your eyebrows exactly the way you want.

3. Eyelash curler- Bright, clear, open eyes can make a big difference in a person’s look. Curled lashes help in showcasing beautiful eyes. Nothing is sexier than gorgeous, dramatic eyes. Now your own, real lashes are the ultimate accessory.

Don’t have thick, long lashes? Then take a look at Lilash – the world’s most powerful and fastest-acting eyelash conditioner (see left ad). It is a nonirritating formula and safe for even the most sensitive eyes. No wonder it has been a favorite of eyelash extension wearers who notice better support and less lash breakage.

While eye lash extensions are popular and attractive but what is detestable is the natural lash breakage. No lashes are no fun but with LiLash, your real lashes will be stronger and thicker and there is no fear of lash breakage.

4. Blush- Healthy flushed cheeks can make a person look absolutely gorgeous and can complete a person’s natural look. There are a number of blushes available in the market in different forms: powder, gel, pencil and others.  Some products even work as both cheek and lip tints.

5. Lipstick- Select a good shade of lipstick that can take you from day to night.  You can get several shades of lipstick because there are plenty of inexpensive brands available but you must have one lipstick shade that can work for all your outfits and for different occasions.

6. Eyeliner- eyeliners can be used to line eyelids or define eyebrows.  It can make your eyes look bigger or smaller depending on your preference.  Pencil eyeliners are great because they are inexpensive and they donít drip.

7. Lip gloss- for days when you don’t feel like wearing make-up but can not step out of the house looking unkempt, lip gloss can add an instant glow to your look.  Lip gloss are also great when you need to do quick touch ups.

8. Mascara- applying mascara can make a person look extra glamorous with very little effort. Invest in a good mascara to give your eyes an instant ‘lift’.  Mascaras are also great for when you want the more dramatic effect of smoky eyes. Try mineral mascara if you have sensitive eyes.

Ok for now, I’m back to my studying my conversion rate optimization and I trust that the above makeup selection tips can be most helpful when you go shopping this weekend!
