Phuket Thailand Day 3- Elephant Ride

There is this place in Phuket where you can ride the elephants and feed them and I think its really worth going because you get to really get close to them and the ride last for about 20 to 30 minutes and you even get to ride on the elephants neck! xD 

PS. bring an umbralla, its super hot. Honestly, you're gonna get fried if you don't 

 Half way into the ride, everyone stops to take pictures. The person taking care of the elephant you're riding on will offer to take pictures for you but you have to tip them but its totally worth it~ because then you get to rid on the elephants neck and you can't to that in Singapore~~





I'm super afraid of heights so after the pictures are taken, I climbed back onto the seat xD 



Yup taking selfies everywhere xD


Mummy and I <3




After the elephant ride, we went to see and feed the small elephants


*CAUTION* PICTURES OVERLOAD xD


Its like he's taking my hand xD









They were kissing me with their trunks xD hahah super ticklish 
And NO, that's not oil on my face =_=ll





I'm not sure what this place is called but if you just tell the hotel you're staying in that you want to ride elephants and see monkeys, they'll probably know xD

And yes, before the elephant ride, you get to see 3,4 monkeys perform for a bit then after the elephant rides and feeding, they'll take you to a snake farm 

So yup, this is the end of my Phuket post
The other days there's nothing much to blog about hahah just the beach and this elephant fantasy show

Till next post~

4 Dos' and Don'ts when going to Phuket Thailand and short review on Neutrogena Ultra Sheer PURE-MILD Sunscreen lotion

DOS'

1) DO bring lots of small change like 100 thai bath, 500 thai bath because you'll need it for taxi rides and tips etc 

2) DO bring sunblock OR sunscreen with SPF of at least 30. I use SPF 50, PA+++ 
(They are different so do google them if you don't know the difference)

3) DO bring more clothes because I had to change twice a day due to the weather 

4) DO bring a spray on sunblock if you plan to swim at the beach because the normal ones are harder to apply when you're wet. TRY AND TESTED

DON'TS

1) DON'T bother bringing too much makeup products with you if you are going there. Chances are, you're not gonna use most of them. If you do bring them, check no.4

2) DON'T be smart and not wear sunblock or sunscreen if you're going to the beach because we stayed at a beach for the whole morning and afternoon, my dad didn't want to use sunblock and his whole back and neck got sunburned and the skin started peeling off. Super painful

3) DON'T bother bargining with the taxi drivers there because you're probably not gonna get a lower price. The price is more or less fixed there for tourist

4) DON'T wear too much makeup when you're there because it's gonna melt in 10 minutes anyway


This is like the most make up I wore when I was there, LANEIGE Snow BB Soothing Cushion and 3CE'S LIP PIGMENT in #ISSUE as blusher and I drew my eyebrows.
And also, fringe and hair all pined up cuz its that hot in Phuket 



But most of the days I just wear KIEHL'S Ultra Light UV Defense on my face and nothing else, no, not even contact lens 

Yes, like this



And probably shaving the back part of my eyebrows off last year wasn't the brightest ideal I've had....
They don't actually grow back entirely... and you can't leave house without makeup during that period of time cuz you'll look ridiculous 


So moving on, for body, I use Neutrogena Ultra Sheer PURE-MILD Sunscreen lotion. Both are dermatologist tested.

I have been using the KIEHL'S one for 2 years now and it is one of my holy grail, go to produces I use almost everyday without fail
PS. Get the 60ml bottle when you see it because the smaller one runs out super fast
The 60ml is usually found in airports 


For this product,Neutrogena Ultra Sheer PURE-MILD Sunscreen lotion, it doesn't blend easily onto your skin to be honest, I can see white streaks on my arms and legs if I don't take the time and blend them out carefully( which is why I've been running around Phuket with white patches on my legs and arms for the first 2 days)

One thing to note, it doesn't wash off easily, at least not with the hotel soap and shampools  



Ending this post off with some selfies of the tiger and I xD 


 Yup I think he's annoyed 








Phuket Thailand Day 1- Le Siam

Whenever my family goes to Phuket, there's always this restaurant that we go to and its called Le Siam 



The food comes in small portions and is a little more expensive as compared to other restaurants in Phuket BUT, I think it is totally worth the price because the taste is amazing~

We went back there 2 nights in a roll and these are some of the food from the 1st night


I think they're salads are really worth a try but their omelette is just average 



Their pineapple rice is a must try!! This is a medium sized portion 


And this is their grilled squid and its super,super awesome~~ 







Their ice milk tea is also recommended to try! I don't have the picture here but it's really good!
This restaurant is located at Rat-U-Thit 200 Roi Pi Rd I Jungceylon Shopping Destination, Phuket, Thailand

Datsumo Labo (Sponsored post)

Hi guys! 
Today, I'm gonna blog about DATSUMO LABO!! 



When I heard that this is totally PAINLESS and it even helps to MOISTURIZES AND WHITEN your skin, I knew I just had to give it a try 
SOOO, I booked an appointment and went down to the BUGIS outlet that is located at

Bugis Cube, 470 North Bridge Road #03-23, Singapore 188735

 random selfi in the cab xD 


Was a little late but the staff there were super friendly and I had a one-to-one consultation with the aesthetician at Datsumo Labo and she explained the process to me 
I decided to do my underarms only because I am going on a short holiday soon~~ and it's not good to go sun tanning right after hair remover so yup~

  

This is how the room looks like when I walk in, super clean and neat!



Hahaha sorry for the shadow xD
Anyway, this is the special gel that they use for costumers~
The whole process is really short probably only took like 3,4 minutes and its super painless just as promised!
I didn't really feel anything just a little tinging sensation when they are doing the treatment and it was over before I knew it!  

 Played around with their super big glasses hahah it kept slipping down xD


 and YES, I'm wearing clothes in the pictures


I'll post a more detailed post about the hair remover process and the before and after pictures as well up on my blog soon!

Laneige Snow BB Soothing Cushion

 

 

I know that a lot of people have already done reviews on this product SO, I'll do like a really short, summarised version instead then xD

- What I feel about this product

1) The coverage I would say is light to medium depending on how many layers you apply, for me I normally apply about 2 layers and it still look super natural and it also covers my acne scars without me having to apply concealer but I suggest if you have really dark under eye circles, you should still apply some concealer

2) This product is super moisturising so you don’t have to worry about your makeup looking caky etc. BUT, it will form lines on your eyelids so you have to set it with powder or your makeup’s probably goanna melt once you set out of the house

3) If you want to get ‘Korean skin’, as in skin that looks super moist and a little shinny like the ones you see on Korean celebrities, then you should give this product a try. Normally, to achieve that kind of skin, I would use facial oil and apply it to my skin followed by foundation but with this product, you only need one step

4) Lastly, it is easy to use and really convenient and it also smells really nice

This is it for my review on Laneige Snow BB Soothing Cushion!

·       In case anyone’s wondering, I’m using NO.21 in Natural Beige

I have tried this product for a couple of months already and a new one has launched since so I’ll probably get that one soon and maybe write another review? XD

Anyways, so sorry for the lack of update but I’ll be updating lot more regularly with more product reviews and makeup tutorials.

I have stacked up a ton of makeup products that I’m goanna review on and hopefully you guys will be interested! (:
