I was taking a photo of Jon using my ASUS Zenfone 3!

After the launch I kept saying I needed to upgrade to the Zoom S!!! 

The ASUS mobile squad~!!

So the ASUS Mobile Ambassador girls decided to find a location that can test the 'low light' feature and...

We entered the kitchen area and took a quick shot!!

Thank you ASUS Mobile Singapore for having me!

Had such a blast learning more about the new ZenFone Zoom S with my fellow ambassadors and media! 

You can kind of see in this photo that my cheeks aren't as full and they're 'flat'.

First I did my forehead!

My scar got a lot less visible after my last fillers but it's not a permanent solution - so bye scar!!!

Right after the fillers - it's a little red and swelling-ish but it wasn't painful at all~

Thanks to the numbing cream! 

Next up - my cheeks!

I'm done! The treatment was over in...less than 10 minutes, maybe 7 minutes?

Super quick, hassle-free and pain-free!!

Here's a before/after photo ↑

You can see how my cheeks look more fuller!!! 

I also look a bit younger right? right??? Also my skin looks more glowing...

Here's a few shots 1 week after the treatment!

I started to notice when I was applying my makeup that the pores around my upper cheek area was starting to get smaller and less visible!!! I was like 'WHY DIDN'T I GET THIS TREATMENT ON MY ENTIRE FACE!!!!' I have acne scars and enlarged pores on my entire cheeks so when I saw it getting less visible, it was like...the happiest makeup application day of my life LOL!!!　

Here's a few shots 2 weeks after the treatment!

As you can see, my selfie game is getting stronger thanks to the lift-me-up!

If you see me on the streets, you won't be able to tell I did ANYTHING to my face, but that's the whole point about aesthetics! It's not like plastic surgery where you change your entire face. It's not like you're tearing down the entire flat to make it into a completely different place, but working with what you have to make the best flat EVER! (Sorry if my example isn't good...)

The whole point is to LOVE how you look and to embrace it, but it don't mean you can't tweak a bit here and there to make yourself the best version of yourself!

Hey y'all! TGIF!!!!!

Recently I had the opportunity to try out a few product from Dr.Althea and I'll be reviewing a few of their products for the next few weeks as I try them out.

To start off, I'll be talking about their new cushion foundation - 

the Dr. Althea Aurora Cover Cushion SPF50+/PA+++!

This is a 5-in-1 product where you get an...

Essence + Sunscreen (SPF50+/PA+++) + Primer + Foundation + Concealer. 

Since it's a concealer too - it helps to clear out the skin's imperfections for smooth/clear skin.

Also it's supposedly long-lasting!

This cushion foundation also include skincare ingredients too!

Here are the amazing ingredients it includes:

Camellia Extract: can effectively adjust the water and oil balance of the skin

Purslane Extract: Can stabilize and relieve the sensitive skin

Sakura Extract: Brighten the complexion to make the skin moisturized and bouncy

Chamomile Extract: Control sebum secretion and lock in the skin's moisture

So there's 2 shades for this product: 13/21/23

I got 23 since...I'm not fair T_T

I can't read Korean but supposedly this Aurora Sponge is different from regular sponges!

Aesthetically? - yes, it is very pretty and different from other brands HAHAHA!

So let's try this baby out!

Pressing the sponge to get the product and...

Oh WOW! 

This was from one push and I didn't really press THAT hard.

Now I'm hoping that I don't look cakey... *fingers crossed*

Gonna test it on my hand first since I was curious to see if this foundation will make me look the following:

1. ashy undertone

2. too white (like a ghostly, unnatural white)

3. too dewy that I want to bathe in translucent powder

*pat pat pat*

"Oh?!" was literally my first reaction.

Yes, the coverage is medium ~ more on the high side but it didn't make my skin ashy-looking!!!!

It's not super dewy but more like a...semi-matte?

Left: without the cushion            Right: with the cushion

The veins on my hands are less visible and you can see the dewy-ness on the right hand!

I just love how my right hand still looks like a human hand and the undertone is natural even though I'm using a cushion foundation.

Decided to try this baby out on my face!

*pat pat pat pat*

Here's a before/after of a random mark I got when I was a kid.

I think it's a scar I got when I tried to shave my face like my dad when I was...5years old.

The coverage is definitely on the medium/high side but it doesn't feel heavy on the skin.

I think the sponge also helps to apply the foundation without making it look heavy or streaky.

It almost gives you that flawless look, right???

   

*applies blush, eyeliner, eyeshadow, and lip tint*

Tried to do the natural-looking Korean makeup look!

So I tried putting this foundation to the test for an entire day - but I applied a translucent powder since I'm more of a matte makeup lover (lol).

To my surprise, I didn't need to touch up my makeup (even though I tend to get oily on my nose area) and MAYBE it's the help of my translucent powder but I was also happy that the foundation didn't end up coming up and making my pores visible throughout the day.

YES CUSHION FOUNDATION TENDS TO DO THAT FOR MY FACE!

Even though I apply a pore covering base/primer and my face looks flawless in the morning...

my face looks like complete and utter crap by the end of the day because the foundation starts to almost 'lift off' my face and enhances my pores. (ew)

To my surprise, this cushion foundation didn't do that and if you guys also experience something similar to me when using a cushion foundation - definitely check this one out and what I used as a primer/translucent powder is the following: Benefit Porefessional Primer + Shiseido Maquillage Snow Beauty III.

If you want to purchase this product, it is available here on the Dr.Althea online store.
