JQ Talks

I received this ages ago and have been holding this off my lips specifically to do a first impressions video on my YouTube channel. Finally found the time to do it and here's the review! I've seen a couple of powder lip products in the market but mostly are from a Korean brand. It was pretty trendy a while back but I never really thought about trying it as I have pretty dry lips and I have a gut feeling that it would be too drying for my lips. So when DIOR sent me their new Spring Collection items and it includes this DIOR Rouge Gradient Lip Shadow Duo in Red, it is the perfect time to give the whole powder lippie trend a test. As usual, video review is as below or if you prefer to read, scroll on further for my written thoughts about this product. Do Like this video and Subscribe to my YouTube Channel!

On my second day of Gangwon-do, Korea trip, I had the opportunity to try out one of the most authentic Korean Set Meal called Hanjeongsik. This kind of spread is usually consumed by royalties in the old days where they have cold to hot dishes served. Back in the days in Korea, there's actually a specific order when eating Hanjeongsik but these days, they'll usually just serve all at once. I prefer it this way too.  The other great part about having this meal is also the location of this place. The restaurant name SeoJiChoGaTeul, is little house located in Gangneung. Surrounding the house is a beautiful open area filled with trees, river, and a magnificient view of hills and mountains.

I've received these items a couple months back and I finally have my verdict on the skincare items in this range. I have 5 items from the DiorSnow line but for this blogpost, I will only be reviewing the 3 skincare items - DiorSnow Essence of Light Lotion, DiorSnow Brightening Refining Moist Cloud Creme, and the DiorSnow UV Shield. Let's get into it!

The first and second night in Gangwon, Korea, I was pampered with such a luxurious hotel. The SamCheok Sol Beach Hotel and Resort is huge and really well maintained. It's unfortunate that I didn't have the time to spend a day chilling around the hotel, that would have been amazing because they have so many areas that you can walk around and enjoy the view of the ocean. I don't have the pictures but it's in my video, I do recommend visiting the Santorini park here during the day.  As for my hotel room, I was staying in a Superior Double room with a view facing the nearby beach that's unfortunately not connected to the hotel for safety purposes. 

Eversoft have been trying to rebrand themselves into a younger brand for sometime now and from what I can see, they are slowly coming up with more trendy products that the younger generation are into these days. The two new products that they sent to me to try are the Eversoft 100% Organic Tomato Micellar Cleansing Water and the Eversoft 100% Organic Yuzu 2 in 1 Cleanser and Toner. Both formulated with Japanese Technology and ingredients, and both being paraben-free, SLS free, alcohol free, and mineral oil free. Eversoft claims that the reason why they use organic plant actives because it enhances our skin's natural function and optimises skin regeneration for healthier skin. Doesn't that sounds great. I have a video review and demo, feel free to watch them first, otherwise, as usual, scroll on for more info and written review. Do like this video and subscribe to my YouTube Channel!

This post is written by the groom: My now wife and I got hitched a couple of weeks ago and looking back, it has been a breeze compared to all the scary stories that we were bombarded with the moment people heard that we were planning our wedding. “Have you searched for wedding venues? You need to book at least a year in advance leh”, “What are you wearing?”, “Are your parents agreeable?”, “Wah, so young get married already ah”, “Got money to get married or not?”, and the best question of them all, “Am I invited ah?”. Goodness me! But one thing that I am thankful for is my gorgeous wife. Through it all, she has remained supportive and an absolute gem when it came down to decision making. She always had my back and I am thankful to God for that.  Now for the kickass story! It all started when we first dated. It was a straightforward, no beating round the bush kinda relationship. I asked her out on a date and she said yes. BOOM! None can resist this amazing...

I've been wanting to own a Morphe palette for the longest time, specifically the Morphe 350 range as they have really autumn feel throughout the palette. I'm so glad I'm finally a proud owner of the Morphe 350, a mix of matte and shimmer shades, that I've used in this video tutorial!  Hope you enjoy this video!

I have a love hate relationship with winter and snow. They are a beautiful season but the weather condition can really dry my already super dry skin. Thus, when I was on a FAM Trip to Gangwon, South Korea in February, I was ready and brought along products that I knew would be good to withstand the harsh dry windy cold weather in Korea.

Before we talk about the fantastic nail buffet place that I've discovered while attend this nail workshop, let's talk about the new Sally Hansen Treatment product. They've recently launched Moisture Rehab Overnight Nail Serum, it claims to contain moisture and nutrient rich extracts for intense nail and cuticle restoration. Great for someone with severely dry, brittle, and dehydrated nails.  Okay, you'll probably think I'm wonky, I mean, how do anyone describe a severely dehydrated nail? To be honest, especially those gone through gel or acrylic manicure will totally know what does it mean by severe dehydrated nails. They become so brittle, thin, and weak. However, this doesn't mean that it may not apply to you if you haven't done gel or acrylic nails before. It could just be the housework or daily hands on activities that's drying your nails and fingers out.  For me, I use my hang nails as an indication that my hands and nails need my atten...

If there's a must eat in my what to eat in Gangwon, South Korea list, this would be on top. There's just something about the taste and the way they serve their snow crabs that are absolutely delightful. And just like most Korea dishes, it doesn't just end with the snow crabs. 

Yup, we probably didn't see this coming. I didn't know there was such thing as a Bounce-Control Certified sport bra until Triumph announced its latest range of extremely supportive sportswear that doesn't compromise on style. They are Triumph's New Triaction range! Ever since my new place, I'm been hitting the gym more regularly and sportswear have been more important to me than ever. I think as a lady, it's very important to own a good sports bra for those more intense workout, something that can provide good support for our breast. It makes working out so much easier. Thus, for Triumph to have the idea of having a bounce-control certified range of sports bra and getting us to try them out personally is such a brilliant plan.  Do Like This Video and Subscribe To My YouTube Channel!

(Image source: tvN) I'm one of those who completed the entire series of the k-drama Goblin (Dokebi), mainly because I find myself hooked to the cast members and yeah... the witty relationship between GongYoo and Lee Dong Wook and their partners.  It has been a long time since I've completed a K-series, if I remembered correctly it was since Autumn in My Heart (Endless Love) released in 2000. That was 17 years back! And still fresh in my memory on how much I cried while watching catching it on TV.  Imagine my excitement when I saw this place popping up on my travel itinerary but is it really worth the hype? 

By the time you are reading this, we would have exchanged rings, say our vows, and be married in the presence of God at your humble home. Even with just the first sentence of this blogpost, I can already feel the sting at the back of my eyes. Tilting my head back slightly, just enough to prevent my tears from surfacing up my cornea. No words could ever truly explain how blessed and happy I am to have this privilege to spend the rest of my life with you. You are the most wonderful and God fearing man I've met in my entire life and there no one else better to grow old with other than you.  The "Will you go on a date with me" Messages Thank you for being brave enough to be direct when asking me out for a first date. Knowing that it was your first time officially asking a girl out, I have to give you credit for doing it with so much flare and wit in your words through text and call. I find it extremely adorable.  First Date Flower Thank you for putting...

I feel so bad, this is a super overdue review that I thought I've written but I actually haven't. :( I must have completely forgotten about this as once I was done recording a video and taking pictures, I immediately passed to my mom for her to try because I believe she will like it. Thus, probably out of sight, out of mind. Thank God the PR person reminded me and I knew I needed to share this out immediately because truly, I love this moisturiser!  My video review is as below but if you prefer to read words, carry on scrolling!

I understand that we are probably almost towards Summer but I still want to give a few of the Dior Spring 2017 Makeup items a shout out and show my love. I've uploaded a Spring/Summer Makeup Tutorial on my YouTube channel 4 weeks ago, as well as uploaded the same video on #TehChamLee's Facebook Page which I've embedded it below. It doesn't consist all Dior items but most of them are. Feel free to check it out first.  Join the #TehChamLee family on Facebook!  I'm very fortunate to have Dior always being extremely generous to send me a whole bunch of products to try and review. As you can see, it's a good mix of products that are extremely gorgeous to the eyes. Honestly, I've only tried a few of them as I some I already have something similar, thus keeping for another day. You can watch the complete unboxing video below or scroll further down for some of my thoughts.   Do subscribe to my YouTube Channel for more Beauty Videos!

I'm very fortunate to be able to collaborate with The Twee for this Haul video and #OOTTwee Lookbook. After being very much influenced by the whole Korean scene with trips to Korea and loads of K-drama, I'm not surprise that I've become very attracted to the Korean fashion and food.  Korean fashion is generally rather sweet and ladylike, and they are very suitable for everyday wear. As compared to the western style, Korean fashion are a little more modest, which is very much suited my taste of dressing.  Do Like this video and Subscribe to my YouTube Channel!

(image source: Jake and Necia Photography via  weddingpartyapp.com ) As I'm about to get married in a couple of days time, for the past month, I have been researching on a number of wedding DIYs for inspiration for my own wedding. I realise there has be a rise in trend of setting up a beautiful photo corner or photobooth specially for their guest to take pictures. No doubt, since it's so easy to snap a picture for social medias these days, people are getting more and more creative as well as seem to prefer to DIY to add that touch of personalised feeling into the wedding. Something that they can look back and be proud of as they made it themselves. Plus, it's more common for DIY projects to be cheaper than hiring someone else to do it for you. In particular, I was really impressed by the Pallet Wall background design. It has a very rustic and of course, hipster look. The best part, it's super easy to put them together and reuse them by decorating it completely...
