When I speak to my non-beauty blogging friends around my age (late twenties / early thirties) about skincare, they always look at me as if I am crazy for using anti-aging skincare products. They think I am “too young” – like hello? I’ve been using anti-aging products since my early twenties! How else can I get away with looking like I’m younger than my actual age?!! Elizabeth Arden Prevage Anti-Aging + Intensive Repair Daily Serum is one the newest anti-aging power packed serums to hit the beauty market. I was given the privilege to trial this for review and better still, there’s one to giveaway to one lucky Aussie reader (more on that later).

One of my favourite beauty bloggers, FutureDerm, released a retinol-based skincare product last year and to show my support for my fellow beauty bloggers, I took the plunge and purchased one. After using it on and off since September last year, I have finally managed to gather my thoughts and opinions together for a review – hooray!!!

As you all know, I work full-time in a medical-related field where blood, guts and saliva get thrown in the air and being a hygienic freak, I HAVE to scrub my body after work PLUS wash my hair.

Whilst flicking through Hong Kong magazines when I was getting my hair done in Hong Kong in January, I came across this page with a tutorial on how to apply stickers to create the “crouching silkworm” look.

What are crouching silkworms you ask? Simply put, they are eyebag bulges that appear slimmer and bulgier than your average eyebags – just imagine a crouching silkworm! Anyway, Asians believe this give a youthful and sweeter look.

We are back from our road trip to Canberra AND Sydney – which was a short and sweet surprise visit for food! And we had a crazy fun time together! We also joined in on the Hadouken craze which is going to be the new “planking” so be prepared to see lots of photos like this from everyone!

I’ve had no regrets since I became a total redhead in January when I was holidaying in Hong Kong. If you’re in HK and you’re looking for a hairdresser in the New Territories, I HIGHLY recommend Kay from Hair Q in Tai Po Plaza who is MAGIC! I’ve had my hair cut by him twice and it looks amazing when I step out of the salon and it still looks amazing 2.5 months later when it’s grown out with lots of lovely layers and natural volume. Unfortunately, my hair style might still look good, but my roots were raging to be done a few weeks ago. Not to worry as I had anticipated this by purchasing L’Oreal Paris Excellence Fashion P66 Intense Spicy Red before I hopped on the plane back to Melbourne. Here’s how I got on…
