[Beauty Review] Mordecai Skin specializes in skin treatment such as acne at an affordable price!

Hey everyone,

Gonna share with you my experience at Mordecai Skin earlier last month.



It started 3 years ago with the main concept of building confidence among people who have skin problems (like me *sad face*) and are often with low self-esteem. 


Mordecai Skin is a skin-treatment company which specializes in the treatment of male skin condition such as acne treatment, acne scar, hair removal, Singapore men facial and also for the ladies too!

It's already hard to treat male skin conditions because of the hyper-active sebaceous glands, so if they can help the guys, why not the ladies right? :)


The Founder of Mordecai, Mr Lam Yuen Foong, explained to me on how Mordecai Skin works and how different they are. It was really nice to know they're very customer oriented and they too love to hear customers' feedback. That's one thing for sure not many salons does that. Mostly, the facial therapists will analyse your skin conditions, explain your concerns and lead you to buy beauty products that claim will help your skin, on top of purchasing facial packages that costs a bomb.




They have promotions for Wednesday!

There's even a cost breakdown too.



Josie, the Manager of Mordecai, went through my skin conditions and analyze for me on what might cause my breakouts.

She was really patient and even encourages me that though acne will take its time to heal,  so long I am doing the right regime, rest enough, drinking more water to hydrate myself and having balance diet, it'll help to clear much faster.
Those words, indeed makes me feel much better and I'm already looking forward to a clearer skin soon!
*Acne doesn't heal overnight, it can take weeks, months or even years to heal. Most importantly is faith and doing it right! :)


I love the fact that they're not pushy in asking me to get packages (I was the one who was super interested in getting 3 trials so that my skin can be cleared, which I did and paid for it!) They also discourages if you tend to want to buy different packages because they want YOU (the client) to see results yourself and not rushing to buy unnecessary facial packages and ended up not going for it or it doesn't even help on your skin conditions.

And another best part of getting packages from them:
They are super flexible on the machine they use, which means, they'll follow your skin conditions for the day and change your facial treatment accordingly just so you don't have to buy another package or top-up. 


They believe in extracting as it helps to clear the impurities in the pores so that it'll not re-occur again.

Using products that is Organic, no Petrol chemical in products and treatments and on top of that, coming regularly for facials and following the tips given will definitely help tremendously!




Great to know:
Mordecai Skin is also involved in charity activities such as distributing food every week. 


Yeap, I actually bought 3x trials with them and I never regret it. :)
So basically I'm a customer of Mordecai Skin.
(Who says Bloggers are cheapos!? Not all okay! 
Definitely not me because I shop alot and that's my passion! keke)







Thanks Mr Lam and the Mordecai Skin Team!

[Sponsored Beauty Review + Promotions] New look and Healthier hair at Matsui Hair Studio at Bugis +

It's my second session with Matsui Hair Studio, and this time, the person that will be transforming my unruly hair into pretty, healthier hair is Alvin! *applause*

The moment I stepped into the studio, I noticed the wall was covered with beautiful and vibrant painting done by the very talented NAFA students!

Making the whole studio much more livelier and cheerful!



Super like the waiting/chilling area!

Like in my first post which I've shared on with earlier (*If you haven't read the 1st post, here it is!) ,
they're really experts in checking the conditions of your hair and what exactly your hair needs.

Thanks Verlyn babe for being so sweet and wait for me while I was doing my hair.
Yes, my frizzy hair really needs some tidy up!

HELP ME, ALVIN!

Alvin looks through and analyze my hair conditions before deciding what changes my hair needs. 
Not only that, he even share with me the up-coming hair trends and colors to see if I'm comfortable to explore.

Alvin also suggested to have summer hair colors yet naturally looking for everyday because he knows I'm working. Very thoughtful! :)

So, he decided to have a more vibrant blend of Yellow and Pink to create some visual textures instead of the normal hair color yet it can still look natural.


Super excited and can't wait to see the result!



Pretty hues which will give the visual effect.
It can be hidden for more sophisticated look or curled outwards for more vibrant look! :)





If you're a dare-devil or a fashionista, and would love to try out different hair colors and style, do discuss with Alvin the next time you visit Matsui. He is super good at sharing with you the latest trend and colors so you'll always be the Fashion-icon!


Still maintaining my ash colors at the bottom and I'm loving it!

I like being there for hours and never feel bored because they're always checking on you at intervals and they're so friendly that you might ended up chatting like 10 years buddy! lol!

Took this while Alvin was busy concentrating straightening my hair keke!


But of course you can choose to curl it too!

Tada!!

Shiny, hydrated, no frizz, no tangles, healthy hair achieved!


On normal days which I'm a little lazy to style my hair, it still look beautiful!


Really helps to brighten my overall look especially when I'm wearing dark colors outfit!


And guess what!
It's already 3 weeks and the colors are still looking fresh and vibrant! 

That goes to show the quality of the products used on me (and on all customers of Matsui) are of the best!

Thinking of making use of the GSS period to change your hair style or have a hair makeover?
Do check out their GSS promotion !!

[Food Review + Discounts] Dining experience at Mellben Signature - New dishes that you MUST TRY and there's discounts too!

Hi Everyone,

I'm back with another yummy-licious food review and I've listed this place as one of my favorite seafood place to go!

I bet many of you might have heard of AMK Mellben Seafood Restaurant.
They're really experts in crab dishes and many others.
Been hearing great reviews and raves from my fellow friends and I'm so happy I get to try it this time!

They've recently opened another new branch (*sister brand) near Tanjong Pagar!


MELLBEN SIGNATURE
Bestway Building, 
12 Prince Edward Road
Singapore 079212

The location is easy to find. It only takes you approx. 6 mins to reach here from Tanjong Pagar MRT!
Just go to Tanjong Pagar MRT and take Exit D, then walk towards Prince Edward Road, 
it is located inside Bestway Building. :)

*There's parking lots available too, but are chargeable.

Can't wait to dig in those delicious goodies!

Garlic Steamed Bamboo Clam
I'm a sucker for dishes with garlic! It's THE BEST ingredient one can use to flavor any dishes!
I love this alot because it's done well, not losing its tangy-ness with loads of garlic to compliment! NICE~




 Deep Fried Yam Scallop

I personally liked this dish because I've tried many yam dishes but usually are the traditional ones 
(*Yam ring), but this is good to share with family and friends. Not only that, the outer layer was fried till crisp and the scallop is still as fresh with its juices oozing out. Not too drying or oily at all.

You can choose to dip with the sauce provided but I would suggest to go without it so that you can taste its natural flavor. :)


Nonya Style Steamed Fish
If you like sweet, sour with a little spicy kick, you can order this to try. 
The fish is fresh and the flavors are well combined. Not too overpowering.

 Mango Prawns
Pretty unique dish I would say.
The sauce is not too sweet and love the freshness of the prawns even though they've fried it.


Signature Salted Egg Pork Ribs
When you hear salted egg dishes, you'll only think of prawns, crabs and maybe squids.
How about Pork Ribs?
Its deliciously tender. No wonder its their Signature dish :)


 Signature Seafood Beancurd
Crisp on the outside, soft in the inside.


XO Sauce Asparagus with Shimeji Mushrooms
Getting sick of oyster sauce veggies or Hongkong Style veggies?
Maybe you can try this dish as it still brings out the natural flavor of the mushrooms and asparagus.

Icy Sweet & Sour Pork
This is one of their newly invented dish which i must say is pretty interesting!
Tried Sweet & Sour Pork in ice and longan?
This is definitely my first time!
The outer crisp was still preserved and the tender pork meat is still warm despite the food is mixed with ice.



Many might have know this:
Mellben Signature is well known for their crab dishes especially the must-try crab beehoon and butter crabs! 
The best part of it is that they only uses live crab and that already tells you how fresh their ingredients are!




That's a whole lot of it and they are really big!


Selfie time with crabbies~ HOHOHO!
I'm gonna have you in my tummy~


*

And so here it is....

CRAB DISHES!

 Chilli Crab
Many of you know about this dish.
You'll never go wrong with this dish. Never. And you must order it with 'Man Tou' (mini fried buns). Nuff'said.

Creamy Butter Crab
The creamy butter doesn't overpower the natural flavor of the crab and seriously, the crab is super fresh!!





 Claypot Crab Bee Hoon Soup
The broth is rich and milky with all the goodness of the big, succulent crab.
yummmm....*must-try :)

 Double Boiled Hashima in Rock Sugar and Red Dates
We end our dinner with this healthy dessert that's great for its health and beauty benefits!
Served hot but if you prefer it cold, just pour some ice into it.


Generous amount of Hashima!

Thank you Mellben Signature for having us!
Thanks Pretty babe, Maybeline too! <3

Delicious food all cleared by us! Yeap, We're very hungry lot! hahaha!
Great to catch up with friends too!
