[Event] Launch of the first-ever LG Electronics beauty tech series, LG Pra.L in Singapore!

LG Electronics (LG) Singapore is renowned for their home appliances and mobile phones and so it was a pleasant surprise when they bridged the gap between beauty and tech to launch LG's first ever premium home beauty brand, LG Pra.L.

Making its Southeast Asia debut in Singapore, the new lineup features four home beauty devices designed to heighten existing skincare routines for faster and more apparent results. Built with cutting-edge technology, woman can get all the aging-preventive care right from the comfort of the home.

The inspiration behind the LG Pra.L is the belief that 'true beauty comes from within'. Designed with LG's LED technological expertise, the LG Pra.L devices had already been recognized in the 2018 Korea Brand Hall of Fame presented by the Institute for Industrial Policy Studies and Brand Design Association of Korea.

All the four LG Pra.L devices come with the convenience of a silicone handle for better grip, voice assistance to give users verbal guidance to achieve optimal results, USB type-C plugs for easy charging and an extra-long battery life for maximum travel portability.

 I was excited to be at the launch event whereby I had my first hands-on experience using and trying out the four LG Pra.L home beauty devices which I would be sharing in more details. Just like how our usual facial regime is, the Dual Cleanser, Galvanic Ion Booster, Total Life Up Care and Derma LED Mask is able to cleanse, nourish, lift and firm the skin respectively.

Dual Cleanser: Deep Cleansing for Soft, Glowing Skin (Retail Price S$449) 

The Pra.L Dual Cleanser comes with two brush head with different motions for effective cleansing. Attach the silicone brush for gentle daily cleansing and the fine fiber brush for deep pore cleansing. The device will automatically detects which brush is attached and change the mode accordingly.

As the device is completely waterproof, users can conveniently use it in the shower or clean under running water. It also comes with a cradle that has an in-built UV light to sanitize the brush when not in use, enhancing product life and ease-of-use.

Galvanic Ion Booster: Enhancing Absorption of Skincare Ingredients (Retail Price S$529)

 The Galvanic Ion Booster has two mode, the Cleansing Mode to draw out impurities such as residual makeup and the Boost Mode to boost absorption of skincare products. A gentle heat massage follows to relieve facial tension. The science behind this is that it uses Iontophoresis (a method that utilizes electrical current to allow the nutrients in skin products to penetrate deeper into the skin's surface), ultrasonic waves and thermal therapy to cleanse the skin and boost absorption of skincare products.

In terms of design, the Galvanic Ion Booster has a soft and triangular-head made from medical implant-grade material to provide a superior corrosion resistance and helps to smoothly glide over the contours of the face. It is also portable with an extra long battery life that can lasts up to two weeks on a single charge.

It is recommended for users to apply each mode for nine minutes a day for a period of two weeks to achieve vibrant skin.

Total Lift Up Care: Deep Tissue Tightening and Lifting with Red LED Light (Retail Price S$699)

 There are also two modes for the Total Lift Up Care, the Tightening Mode which uses high-frequency thermal therapy and red LED light to penetrate the deep layers of skin and trigger collagen production, while the Lifting Mode uses microcurrents which stimulates skin tissue and muscles for a tightening and lifting effect.

A woman's collagen production starts to decline at about age 25 and decreases even further after 40. This device helps to achieve plump and youthful skin through its tightening and lifting functions. User will be able to see improvements in skin elasticity and achieve a slimmer face after using this twice a week for 8 weeks.

Derma LED Mask: Only Nine Minutes a Day for Brighter, More Radiant Skin (Retail Price S$1,349)

The Derma LED Mask uses 160 LEDs (80 red and 80 infrared) of long and short wave light to penetrate the skin at different depths. It rejuvenates skin layers to encourage cell regeneration for firm, radiant skin. Users is able to see visible improvement in skin tone and skin density by simply using this for nine minutes a day over four weeks.

The Derma LED Mask is safe and effective to use and is the only Korean-made product of its kind to be given an "FDA cleared" rating by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

The user-friendly Derma LED Mask has a transparent visor that allows users to still be able to see through the mask whilst wearing it, so users can multi-task at home for efficiency while enjoying their treatment. It also protects the eyes with an eye-shield design made from safe silicone for comfort, minimizing the glare from the LED lights. An additional safety feature includes Sensing Detector, where the mask operates only when correctly positioned on the face.

We had a fun time testing out the mask and guessing who was behind the mask. For those who are curious, it was a totally painless process, it's like a mask attached to a spectacles.

 There were a few vanity corners which also features skincare products from SU:M37.

We also took lots of photos at the Cloud Booth GIF X Photo Dual Mode Photo Booth and the effect was pretty cool.

There was a booth for us to create our own essential oil or get the pre-blended ones. There's even a LG Signature Blend created just for this event. We decided to just get the pre-blended oil instead of mixing on our own.

This whole LG Pra.L beauty set allow users to enjoy salon treatment anytime and anywhere. Check out the LG Pra.L exclusive pop-up store at Tangs Plaza until 9 September 2019.

The new flagship outlet located  at Velocity @ Novena Square spans over 2,000 sqft and boasts 13 big rooms. In fact, it's just directly opposite from the d'skin prestige, which they've opened two years back. I didn't had the chance to visit the treatment rooms as they were all occupied on that day. In conjunction with the grand opening, the following 3 brand new treatments will be launched.

- SMART RF: CET/ RET. 30 mins, (S$ 299)

One of the most effective, non-invasive and painless treatment for wrinkles, cellulite, and skin laxity. Using the latest radio frequency-based treatment for face and body, heat delivered deep into the dermis help the exchange of positive and negative ions within cells, increase metabolism, improve blood and lymphatic drainage, stimulate collagen and elastic fibre production. Due to the deeper penetration through the production of deep heat in the visceral fat layer, R.E.T gets rid of subcutaneous fats and even visceral fats.

- Hyperbaric Oxygen Facial Treatment, 120 mins (S$598) 

Designed to increase cell metabolism and skin elasticity, this 2 stage treatment infuses 100% highly concentrated oxygen to the skin combines with inhaling of the pure oxygen to repair damaged cells, akin to Japan's oxygen bars. d'skin is also proud to be the first facial treatment centre in Singapore to use a medically HSA approved Oxygen Tank for their treatments.

d'skin most popular product in its skincare collection

Other than the 3 brand new treatments, we were also introduced to their most popular skincare product known as the Collagen Silk (S$149). Made with 100% pure water-soluble fish collagen to alleviate beauty woes associated with dry skin and ageing skin. The serum can help to improve skin barrier properties as well as protection from environmental damage by stimulating existing cells to regenerate more collagen on its own. An even more fascinating point is that the Collagen Silk are packaged in its dry form in individual capsule thus less heat-susceptible and provides a fuss-free solution for the busy women to have dewy healthy skin.

[Review] DIY Lip Scrub with Himalaya Lip Balm

Lip balm is an essential lip care product to prevent the chapping, drying and cracking of the lips. Recently, due to the exposure to cold weathers and working in an air-conditioned environment, my lip has become very dry.

I started using the Himalaya Herbals Lip Balm which contains key ingredients such as Coconut Oil Extract, Castor Oil, Wheat Germ Oil and Carrot Seed Oil that helps to nourish and soften my lip, keeping its natural moisture.

Now, the Himalaya Lip Balm can even double up as a DIY lip scrub for the purpose of exfoliating and removing of the dead skin. 

3 STEPS GUIDE TO DIY LIP SCRUB

STEP 1 - Mix some lip balm and sugar together using a 2:1 ratio

STEP 2 - Gently apply the mixture onto the lips and massage in a circular motion.

STEP 3 - Focus on all corners of the lips and wipe off after 30 seconds.

My verdict after using the product. Definitely a handy item to bring out that won't take up too much space in the bag. 

This Himalaya Lip Balm can be purchased at Guardian, Watsons, Mustafa, Giant & NTUC Hypermarket, National health group pharmacies and other bigger beauty retail chains at just $2.75.

[EVENT] Professional hair styling with Play by TUFT

Hair styling can be such a chores especially if you are in the rush for work or parties. Looking to have that perfect salon-finished hairstyle in the comfort of your home, hotel room or while on-the-go? Look no further as I'm going to introduce Play by TUFT, a collection of wallet friendly and functional professional hair styling tools inspired by the simple joys in life. 

With the right tools, hair styling is no longer a chores

Play by Tuft is conceptualised and created locally in Singapore after the success of homegrown TUFT brand, a series of professional hair styling appliances catered to professional hair stylists, by Tai Wah Distributors.

Play by TUFT styling tools comes in travel-friendly size too! 

Specially designed for the travellers, Play by TUFT also have a mini travel series of hair styling tools that are lightweight and compact. These includes Travel Curling Iron, Mini Travel Styler, Mini Travel Hair Dryer and Mini Travel Detangle Brush. Not only are these easy to store, they also come with dual voltages.  

CLASSIC by TAI WAH at TPI Buiding (Raffles Place, Opposite Capita Green)

I had the chance to get my hands on with the exciting range of Play by TUFT styling tools as well as witness the live demonstration by the creative stylists from CLASSIC by TAI WAH on how to achieve the latest hair trends effortlessly with Play by TUFT styling tools. Thanks Jessie for extending her invites to me.

Demonstrating how to turn a bad hair day into a good one

The first stylist, Eugene and his hair model. He is going to show us how to use the Travel Curling Iron to achieve a confidence, party look. When not in use, the barrel can be easily stored inside the handle.

Beautiful, bouncy, flawless curls that can last all day!

HAIRVOLUTION TIP: To achieve this look, you just need to curl from the middle of your hair instead of the end of it. He also showed us the thumbs up rules to protect the curling iron from burning the face.

Conditioning the hair is a very important step

Lastly, is to put on some Macadamia nourishing moisture cream and spray to complete the look.

Say no to knots with a detangling brush

Next up, Kevin showed us how to style a short, tangled and messy hair. First of all, he used a Mini Travel Detangle Brush to detangle the model's hair. This brush is excellent for detangling not just dry hair but wet hair too.

Creating volumes for the model

Kevin used the Heated Styler for his styling. A heated styler is relatively safe and not so hot to use. It helps to creates volumes, lifts, flops and waves.

Neat and tidy now

HAIRVOLUTION TIP: To get the volume to your hair, simply apply heat near the crown of your head, at the roots, and pull up directly.

Before styling

Chris is going to use the Mini Travel Styler to create two looks for this model. Be careful of the blue part as that portion is the heater. A mini travel styler is able to gives you endless styling options for any type of hair while on the go.

Satisfied with the duel style look

The end result is a C curls on one side and a round curls on the other side. Quite impressive.

HAIRVOLUTION TIP: Give your face that perfect frame with C-Curls. Curl your hair inwards towards your chin and hold for a few seconds before releasing.

Last look of the session

William showed us how to use the Smart Styling Iron to create some loose curls. The smart styling iron has function to lock the digital temperature control at about 180 degree and has a titanium coated floating plate for a smoother glide. Works perfectly even on damp hair, giving it a deeper straightening power for a softer, longer-lasting look.

HAIRVOLUTION TIP: Get your summer beach waves on. Twist your hair into small braids and apply heat with a flat iron.

Back view of Jessie and Shu Qing

Now is our turn to try styling our hair or let the professional stylish do the job. This is the time to envy those with long hairs.

The stylish helped me with my hair

Using the Heated Styler, I got my C-curls done. How does I looked with curls? More matured?

Thank you Hannah Chia for the fun group photo

Let your hair do the talking, make fun yours!
