Sheila Sim , The New SK-II Celebrity Ambassador

SK-II has named international model and style icon Sheila Sim as the latest addition to its line-up of celebrity ambassadors, solidifying her status as the new face of crystal clarity.

As one of Singapore’s top supermodels, Sheila is known for her pixie good looks and authentic, fresh-faced charm. With over ten years of modeling experience, she has graced the covers of countless magazine and runways of established international labels in all the major fashion capitals. She now joins the ranks of other celebrities such as Cate Blanchett, Tang Wei, Haruka Ayase, Lee Sinje and Qi Qi as the iconic skincare brand’s newest ambassador – redefining SK-II’s image of crystal clarity with a youthful twist of sartorial sophistication.

The partnership between high fashion model Sheila Sim and luxury beauty brand SK-II is one that is bound by shared values of timeless elegance and authenticity. With its emphasis on transforming women’s lives through crystal clear skin, the brand has chosen a face that represents contemporary, natural grace – echoing SK-II’s image of authenticity.
“The collaboration with supermodel Sheila Sim makes perfect sense because we feel that she embodies a modern interpretation of beauty that’s very au courant yet authentic. We are confident that she will bring the message of crystal clarity to a new generation of women through her inspiring stories of transformation – both in skin and life,” said Samuel Kim, Vice-President, ASEAN & Asia Development Markets, Procter & Gamble Asia, on SK-II’s choice of its latest ambassador.

While Sheila has spent the last ten years gracing international catwalks, being transformed each day into a new iconic image for fashion, she never thought a similar transformation was possible for her skin until she encountered SK-II.

“To be very honest, I was never loyal to any skincare products while I was growing up. I’ve always felt that I am born with whatever I have and there’s little you can do about it, so I shouldn’t be worried about skincare products.” Sheila said of her previous skin beliefs.

A self-professed outdoor sports fan who “loves the sun and sea”, she is a firm believer in natural beauty and “being comfortable with who you are”. For Sheila, perfect skin is skin that is glowing, radiant and gorgeous, even without make up.

“But when SK-II approached me, I was interested to see what was possible,” she continues.

Intrigued by the unique bio-origins of Pitera™, Sheila embarked on her journey with SK-II starting with the brand’s signature miracle water, Facial Treatment Essence – and her experience was one of amazement. After just one use, she already noticed changes in her skin’s countenance. “I did not expect to see any difference after using Facial Treatment Essence for the first time. I was amazed to find that my complexion was brighter and clearer, in just one use.”

For the first few days, Sheila felt her skin was “not as obedient as it should be”. However, she was reassured by other SK-II users that Facial Treatment Essence was just working on her skin. “They were right,” Sheila confirms. “In fact, even after three days, I started to notice that my skin texture became more refined, and was smoother.”

But it was really after seven days that Sheila noticed that her skin became firmer and more sculpted. She saw an overall improvement in the condition of her skin, something that she had never experienced before with any other skincare brands. “At first, I thought it was just my imagination – but when I went out with my friends, they asked me if I was wearing makeup, and for the secret to my skin’s glowing radiance. That’s when I understood the meaning of crystal clarity.”

In just 14 days, Sheila experienced complete skin transformation. In fact, Facial Treatment Essence has changed the way she feels about her skin, and more importantly, herself. “Two weeks later, I observed that the fine lines around my eyes and mouth had become smoother and less visible. Also, as someone who is a fan of the sun and the outdoors, I was really amazed to see that the spots and freckles on my face lightened and became less visible.” Needless to say, the bona fide fashion icon is now a fervent fan of SK-II.

Sheila was given a warm welcome at SK-II’s recent celebration in Shanghai in November 2011, where she made her international debut. Graced by a bevy of SK-II celebrity ambassadors – famed actress Tang Wei, accomplished actress Lee Sinje, international supermodel QiQi and SK-II MEN global ambassador Yoo Ji Tae – Sheila had the opportunity to share her transformation experience with the other celebrity ambassadors. Joining her on-stage were Lee Sinje and QiQi, giving Sheila the unique opportunity to exchange SK-II regimens and skin secrets with them from their years in the entertainment industry.

Review : NEW Shiseido White Lucent Intensive Spot Targeting Serum+

Last month I was invited to the launch party of Shiseido White Lucent Intensive Spot Targeting Serum+. The serum will only be available at counter in Spring 2012. But I've used the serum for sometimes and it works great ! So I think I should share my review of this Shiseido White Lucent Intensive Spot Targeting Serum+ with you all and you girls can sneak a peak at Shiseido Spring 2012 product at the same time =D
Compare to the current generation of Shiseido White Lucent (SWL) serum in the market now , the new generation requires only 10 days to see the effect instead of 14 days. *WOW*

You might ask what's the different between these two generations. Well for the current generation , Shiseido's proprietary ingredient targets spot areas and utilizes the Melano Sensor System to counteract spots 3 ways - b preventing melanin, targeting the root of spot formation, and reducing melanin .
New SWL Serum has added an exclusive new technology - Shiseido's Melano Sensor System+ (Step 4 )

Inspired by laser technology that targets and removes persistent spots, Shiseido's newest technology first targets stubborn spots, and then crushes the roots of their pigmented appearance.
Melanin pigment that has crushed to fine particles is then pushed up to the skin surface. By promoting the melanin's mobilization up and out, the appearance of stubborn spots dramatically improves.
NEW Shiseido White Lucent Intensive Spot Targeting Serum+

With the new technology, SWL serum promises to give you a spot-less, even-toned, and perfectly radiant skin that glows from within. I don't see much dark spots on my skin surface (But I'm not sure how my face will looks like if under the skin-check machine XD ). So I apply the SWL Serum on my whole face every day and night , and mostly targeting on my post acne scars.
The difference of New and Current SWL Serum texture

As you can see from the picture , the current generation of SWL Serum is more runny while the NEW SWL Serum is milkier. But both of them are very light and my face feel fresh whole day even if I apply a thick layer of SWL Serum . 

The serum is easy to absorb and it gives no greasiness even though it's such a powerful serum. I can see that my complexion is brighter after using the serum. This is why I like to use the SWL Serum to prep my skin before makeup because it just sweeps away the dullness easily and it helps to slow down the oxidization of foundation !

You can read more introduction about this NEW SWL Serum here.

The new SWL Serum is really powerful and my post acne scars have been lighten so much within 10 days ! But sorry that I've forgot to take the before photo so I can't show you the comparison photos. Anyway I've captured a before and after photo , tested on my hand , this morning and you can actually see its instant brightening effect.

I’ve kept the images intentionally untouched. I didn’t even brighten them so these are photos off my camera. There's some dark spots on my hand because I never put body sunblock >_< But you can see from the photos, My skin has become brighter after applied SWL Serum and the dark spots have lighten a bit too.

Overall the effect of the NEW Shiseido White Lucent Intensive Spot Targeting Serum+ is satisfying . My skin tone is more even now and I do enjoy to see the natural glows on my face in the mirror.  I'll consider to buy Shiseido Brightening Serum for Neck and Décolletage and use it together with the new serum because I can literally see a tone different between my face and neck now ! LOL...

The price for this NEW Shiseido White Lucent Intensive Spot Targeting Serum+ is not available yet because it will only be available in the market in Spring 2012. But you girls can check the blasts about the serum from 16th January 2012 onward in this wesite : http://www.my.shiseido.com/s2012/whitelucent/

Tomorrow I'm travelling to Medan , Indonesia for 4 days and for sure I'll bring this NEW Shiseido White Lucent Intensive Spot Targeting Serum+ with me because I know for sure it can saves me from being sun-tanned =D Lake Toba I'm coming ~~~~

My haul from Taiwan !

Hi girls ! It's been long time for me not updating my blog. I've been staying at home since graduated and giving myself thousands of excuse to be a lazy bum >_< Plus recently I'm thinking to change my blog into a chinese beauty blog. Consider this a writer's block ? Hmm I'm still in the transition =(

Well I just came back from Taipei this Monday and it was freaking fun ! Taipei is seriously a shopping heaven and I still missing all the foodies there =D But the weather was super duper cold too. Average is 13 degree Celcius I think. At the end I fall sick right after I back. Flu , sore throat and headache .But one thing I feel blessed is my period come after I went home but not when I was travelling XD I can't imagine how painful will it be if my period come when I was travelling !LOL...


OK stop my mumbling now and let's see what I've got from Taipei =D
Sexylook Mask NT $279 Buy 1 Free 1
绝世美肌 mask NT $159

Masks ! Of course you can't go home without buying a piece or two masks from Taiwan right ? LOL... The Sexylook mask I bought is the best mask I've ever used. Seriously. I'm a big fans of it since University and it was in my "must-buy" list when I traveled to Taipei =D It's selling at Watsons /Guardian at RM5 / piece I think >_<
Next up !

The super cheap and nice one 广源良菜瓜水. I bought value pack of 2 bottles cost me only NT $189.
Shiseido Deluxe Eau De Carmin NT $100. This is a very famous product in Taiwan and Japan which has the history of almost 80 years. It's a toner for pimple and oily prone skin =)
Shiseido Eyelash Curler NT $150. This is super duper cheap right ? I know ! I bought it at 新光三越资生堂东京柜。It is specially designed for Asian eyes so I guess it should be not bad.
Shiseido Eyebrow Pencil NT $75 . I bought this because it is cheap !!! LOL...
The Solone family =)

Other than the Solone usual eyeliner (NT $149) we've seen long time ago, I bought solone brush (NT $29 each) and their latest gel-like smoody pencil too ! (NT $159). Solone Gel-like Smoody Pencil is a very cool stuff which you can use it as a liner or an eyeshadow ! Its chinese name is 30秒慕斯眼彩笔, which means you can blend the liner into eyeshadow within 30 seconds. But after 30 seconds , the color will stay where they at until you remove it with Makeup remover ! I tried it and it is super waterproof and smudge-proof too!
I bought #04 Bronze , #05 Brown and #03 Forest Green =)


I hunted some stuffs which are not selling in Msia too.
Biore Bright Face Milk SPF50 PA+++ NT $189 . I love this sun block ! It gives me a powdery / matte finish and definitely feel fresh !
Carmex Lip Balm (NT $79) which I think I don't need to introduce more...haha...
Kose Nature & Co Vital Purity Eye Cream NT $376. I was stucked between the choices of Junkisei eye cream and this . But its lavender smell leads me to the cashier so I bought this ! lol...

- some random brand white color eyeliner NT $39
- Elizabeth Arden Skin Protectant value pack NT $220 each. Spare one to my sis
- La Femme blush NT $125 each. This is the famous drugstore blush which able to compete with Nars if you have heard XD I bought #Nectar and #Lilac Lace . The color is so intense and its lasting power is compatible with Solone eyeliner loh >_<
- Bourjois eyeshadow palette NT $399. The original price is NT $ 469 but I get it during Watsons 15% discount promotion. Heard a lot of fame about this drugstore line of Chanel and finally I own it now ! Wanted to buy their new foundation too but it's out of stock all over the place =( Sad .
- Some random hair accessories at NT $29

- Perfect Whip Cleansing Foam NT $119. Heard it produces rich lather and soft on skin =)
- Dove Go Fresh cleansing milk (NT $99 ,comes with a free Dove lipbalm) which has just hit Malaysia market. Read a lot of good reviews about this cleansing milk and it has sold up to (dunno how many bottles ) in Japan and Taiwan. Malaysia is selling at RM16.90 / RM19.90 I think.

So this is all what I've bought from Taipei. I hope you girls enjoyed watching it =D Now if you excuse me , I'm gonna lay back on my bed and do what a patient should do --- SLEEP ! LOL...
