Skin Inc's 8th Anniversary Cocktail Party

Posted on Monday, November 16, 2015


So Skin Inc just turned 8 and threw the coolest cocktail party at The South Beach! It's what you'd expect all cocktail parties to be like, and more. Free flow alcohol, a swag location, waiters walking around tempting me with fancy canapés and desserts (I never say no to them. Yes, the tandoori chicken was my favourite. Yes, I am very Singaporean), we also did a little bit of star spotting...


...And got some exciting freebies!

 My Daily Dose is Skin Inc's best seller (S$169.00 for a mixture of 3 x 10ml bottles) - we began by discovering our Skin Identity which could be done conveniently on our iPhones. Once we got the results, we headed over to the vending machines containing all the My Daily Dose's in Skin Inc's signature myriad of colours (so pretty).

I don't know which was more satisfying - pressing the buttons on the vending machine or watching the pretty boxes fall out within my reach, whee! Update you guys again once I've tried it!


Everyone's skin is unique, which is why you can blend My Daily Dose with up to two other Skin Inc customisable serums for a multi-acting product to target your different skin needs (trust me, I have many). All you need is 3 drops twice daily!


Enjoying more of the surroundings. Janine refuses to be taken photo of LOL.


Finally met Georgina (@seaofknit) in real life!


The waiters were walking around with trays of these mocktails in Skin Inc's multicoloured bottles. Such a smart and cute idea!


Head off from the event a little tipsy and in high spirits, hehe.

Thanks for having me, Iris and team! A really memorable and well-planned event :)

Digital Fashion Week 2015

Posted on Friday, November 6, 2015

Made my Digital Fashion Week debut this past weekend thanks to Trishna for the Ying the Label showcase! To be honest I think I had more fun heading over to her house to get ready together than at the event itself, but still, I love any reason to dress up and head out! I received a lot of compliments on my outfit, but fun fact - everything I'm wearing cost me less than $100.00. I am a huge fan of mass market labels simply because fashion changes so fast and I personally believe that you don't have to be dressed top to toe in designer labels to look chic, a mix is always good.

It's quite exciting to see who the fashion industry in Singapore is changing and to be a part of it in some small way. Personally, there's still a long way to go before Singapore designer labels really reach a global standard with truly runway worthy pieces - I feel that our market is still highly casual and tends towards more ready-to-wear collections versus showcasing pieces that are innovative in design and fashion forward. Commercially, I guess this makes sense, but in a market so saturated with online shops selling their "original" ready-to-wear designs at $35.00, what would really make people want to spend hundreds supporting an unknown designer brand? I know there are many answers to one question, but for now it's nice to see that there is a platform to do so, which is Digital Fashion Week.
