So we got to Taiwan from Japan and Expedia arranged for us to stay near the airport at NOVOTEL Taipei Taoyuan. It's right beside the airport only! We just have to take a shuttle bus from the airport to get there ^.^

My pink polka dot luggage and Wendy's pink luggage and furry bag and jacket. Hahaha ^.^ My luggage is obviously way too small for a 10 days trip but i die die also bring, WHY?! Becox you see at the corner of the picture? It's a black luggage. Belongs to Audrey ahahaha. Didn't make the cut for "What is worth a shot" lolol. Really no picture of her black luggage.
We got to NOVOTEL Taipei Taoyuan airport hotel. Look at this ah siao pregger lolol. 很开心 hor? Hahaha ^.^
Nice grand lobby.
Our room!!! ^.^ It's really nice and comfy and cozy! Thank you Expedia!
Our beds. You see to the left of the picture. That's the bathroom / shower tub. Haha. The glass very cool one. You press a button it'd turn opaque. Press the button it'd become clear see through. Although i am still quite scared what if i showering and singing halfway accidentally the glass door fault and then Wendy will be traumatised for her whole life lolol.
Slack outfit of the day lol. Floral leggings is from Don Quixote in Japan for about $8 SGD. Bag even more love, from Daiso Japan. Lol. $2 SGD only defug. Cardigan and top about $4 each from Taiwan.

Then at the lobby there was some golf challenge thing. Everyone suck at it except..
Tiger Auds. Lolol. She help team Malaysia win this golfing challenge. Lol. We also got competition between team Singapore and team Malaysia when we go KTV. Lol.

And then after that i think we went up to the sports room and play ping pong hahaha. One of the most fun things i did on this trip!!! The fun was mostly from looking at Wendy and Cheesie struggling to hit the ping pong ball but end up hitting / touching themselves with and without the bat hahahaha.

Then we go to bed and wake up next morning to the hotel complimentary breakfast trolley at the lobby for ALL guests!!! =DDDD So nice hor!!! Just very quick breakfast lah. Got a selection of croissant and bread, coffee, milk, tea, etc. I think cox a lot of business people stayover there.

Slap it on

You guys might not know but recently i've been kept really busy cox of all the deadlines and Josh is shifting studio so there's a lot of things going on right now!

But i am happy lah becox one thing leads to another so i'm just learning to take it down one by one.

And becox i am quite bad at multi-tasking, i tend to neglect a lot of things if i am kept busy with something else. Like if i am busy, i tend to neglect skincare and haircare =X But but but!

I am trying!!! Especially so when Secretive.sg send me like ten thousand pieces of mask to advertise for O.O I gotta use them all!!! Hahaha. 不要辜负他们一番好意嘛 lol.

And i actually buy masks and other beauty products from them a few times before!!! So it's quite a good thing they contacted me to ask to send me masks =DDD 省了我好多钱啊 =X Lolol.

This is me looking grumpy at my dressing table @.@ Becox really that day i rush some stuff rush until i want to sleep so badly and have to wake up early next morning to go do some stuff =/
Lolol. So zhun, 4 hours of sleep only. Actually 3 hours and 55 minutes becox i set alarm for 10.30am
Thanks to Queen Of Mask for sending me these boxes of mask from But, Becky! They have a variety of masks for different results!

The blue one for Mochi-Mochi skin!
Enriched with Vitamin B5 and Hyaluronic Acid for long-hour hydration! Keeps skin bouncy soft!

The pink one for Fair-looking skin!
Concentrated Job's Tears essence helps clear up dark spots and patches! Fairer skin after each use!

The lime green one for Younger-Looking skin!
Rich in vitamin C and E, wild yam delays aging process! Also keeps skin hydrated!

The turquoise one is for Bling-Bling skin!
Pearl and Ginkgo essence are rich in Vitamin A and C which helps soften and whiten complexion! Skin stays young and luminous!

Here's a quick beauty diary i recorded over the past 1 - 2 weeks to share with you guys! ^.^

I was saying i super lack of rest and skin feels like dull and tired right.

Day 1 - Extremely tired skin and tired me!
Chose the Radiance Luminous Pearl Mask from But, Becky to slap on!
Then i nap. Cox after that got movie date at night @.@

One thing about But, Becky masks is that it is highly stretchable as a 3D double lifting mask! Cox most 3D masks can get really tight on your face / under jaw area which might feel quite uncomfortable. But, Becky's masks uses a new knitting technique! It is double woven! With it's good elasticity, your whole face can be covered easily =D Just gotta stretch it wherever needed! =D

Also, there's a unique diamond pattern emboss on the mask! So the essence is more efficiently absorbed plus your skin gets to breathe =D  And deng deng deng, as you can see! But, Becky ambassador is Aaron Yan (炎亚纶), a member of the super popular boy group Fahrenheit 飞轮海!


They all have individual performances and career too and Aaron Yan is coming to Singapore babeh!!! Read on to find out more! You can get a chance to meet him and receive limited edition merchandise! =D

While napping i think i pull off the mask after 30 - 45 minutes. Not sure how long exactly hahaha. But i think it's awesome lah! As i sleep, this mask fills my face with goodness ^.^ Maintaining healthy skin can be quite effortless! =D This picture is after i wake up 2 hours later! 怎样! I only edit my dark eye circle =/
Ready for late night movie with Josh and Laomoo! =D
No make up but at least skin not bad lah =D Hahaha. Gotta cover dark eye ring with thick frame =(

Day 3 - Need to hydrate and soothe this choked up skin!
And then two days later~ JB Day trip with family =DDD It was lotsa fun but the places we went to for food ah.. Omg.. Especially the pasar malam.. =X Whole day really is breathing in oil + fume one. Plus the sun really is scorching until cannot @.@
I got home to shower immediately! Skin feels very dirty, oily and dehydrated cox of the scorching sun!!! So after shower and after toner i immediately slap on this super duper awesome silkmask.

LOVEMORE Loofah and Aloe Vera Hydrating silk mask!
Quick guide! Just peel off the white part, stick on silk mask with the blue part, remove the blue part.
AND THIS IS WHAT YOU GET!!! The silk mask is sooooooo thin and awesome you can barely see it!!! And it feels so light on your face!!! Cannot describe how much i love silk mask! Why didn't i give it a try much earlier on!!! =OOO
30 minutes later! Done~! =D Actually 15 minutes enough liao but i kiasu ma =X =D The Loofah and Aloe Vera hydrating mask made my skin feel refreshed and hydrated ^.^ Thank you!!!
 
Skin feels sooooooo soft and smooth i love it love it love it! =DDD Have you got that feeling?! You touch your skin and it feels so soft and supple ^.^ This is the feeling after silk masking lah!

And i am very very super happy that LOVEMORE came up with a Oriental Series! Timely for Chinese New Year hor?! =DDD I read through the ingredient used in the four limited edition masks, all sound super good!!!

Happy that Secretive.sg sent me a few to try =D But i am saving it for Chinese New Year hahaha. What. I have so many masks now i can use it whenever i like =DDD

LOVEMORE is endorsed by Jiro Wang (汪東城) also a very famous member of Fahrenheit! =DDD

Why do i find the packaging for the Oriental Series very appealing! 很像古代的武林密集 but this one is 美丽的密集 ^.^ I love it!!! Bet it will be as good or even more potent than the standard series!
If you're keen! These three along with one more call 天山雪莲 (Snow Lotus Revival Mask) are the Oriental Series from LOVEMORE Silk mask! I can't wait to try it nearer Chinese New Year! If i feel generous i will share it with my gfs who come over for mahjong lah. Haha. They play mahjong and mask at the same time. I play line pop and mask along side. Lolol.

After LOVEMORE Loofah and Aloe Vera Hydrating silk mask

Day 4 - Before photo-shooting
Had to snap pictures for adverts in the middle of the night cox it was quite a last minute one on tight deadline so at 3am, i had to prepare! And i thought slapping on a 3D lifting mask would be great to look more firm (hopefully more tight and thus smaller face haha ^.^) with no fine lines on picture!
What better to plump up fine lines and look firmer than Hyalaronic Acid!!! It's the IN THING now popular for "filling" your skin to look firmer, bouncier with no fine lines PLUs is super hydrating!!! So i mask for 20 minutes while i work on the computer!
Done! =D No makeup. Only clear some of the dark eye circle =/ Sigh. Still got a lot of dark circle. Lol. WHO WANT, I GIVE FOR FREE. Nobody? =(
With just BB cream and concealer undereye! =DDD I really envy people with good skin lor! No need to pile on much make up still can look very pretty and fresh! I made a resolution this year to achieve better skin =DDD I think i am on good track now!!!
And here're the photos for that shoot! Slapping on a mask before picture taking really make the makeup go on much nicely ^.^ I will always do it from now on lah! Before makeup, slap mask on! Haha. So easy some more. Just go do other stuff while mask stays on for 15 minutes.

Day 6 - The night before a filming day outdoor
My choice of mask to slap on for the night before filming the next day, Wine Yeast Whitening Silk Mask from LOVEMORE! This mask is great for whitening effect =D
I love how LOVEMORE namse their masks! Just now the loofah one was 水当当 this Wine Yeast Whitening mask is 百泡泡 ^.^ Hen cute hor. And so i went to sleep with it again and take it off i forgot when. Lol. Definitely sometime in my sleep.
Me the next morning ^.^
Sorry ah just woke up so havent brush hair lolol. And i apologise for all the iPhone pictures but as you can see, i try to pen this beauty diary down as close to what i did as possible so if i have to run to whip out my semi-pro camera it is very not candid already lolol. ANYWAY! My skin how?!?! =D
I think really quite nice lah lololol. Given that i am someone really lazy.

LOVEMORE Silk mask also comes in two more types! One of which, the Pearl Barley and Milk Smoothing mask is to help you achieve smoother skin with radiant glow and not oily shine! =D

I think masks are really helpful to maintain your skin's youthfulness and suppleness! The Wine Yeast Whitening mask i tried is awesome for right before a video filming or great before a special night out with your date! =D Fair fair white white one, confirm people love you and want to protect you lol.

And the whitening effect last the entire day so it's very worth it! Haha. Mask is not do one piece then get it over and done with one! Mask i feel is a very convenient pampering time for your face!

And the effect is very much instant =DDD So it's great to have the habit to slap on a mask before your big day, before your important meeting and date lah! =D You'd feel refreshed and relaxed also!

Makeup for filming done~ =D With better skin you also pile on lesser foundation makeup.
Tadang~ Filming done and easy peasy! =DDD
