My Manicure Experience at Kimiyo-G Beauty, Clarke Quay Central

I am a very lazy person so embarrassing as it is, I must admit that I have not pampered my nails for a long while. Recently, for the upcoming pre-wedding photoshoot, I finally had the opportunity to get my nails done at Kimiyo-G Beauty.

Kimiyo-G Beauty specialises in face, body, and nails, and provides holistic services for beauty, health and wellness. They opened their second outlet at Clarke Quay Central two months ago.

It was pretty quiet when I was there, partly because it is a new outlet, and partly because it was a weekday afternoon I guess. The service was rather prompt, and I was served a cup of piping hot green tea while they make the necessary preparations.

I opted for cuticles trimming as well, so the manicurist worked her magic while I browse through the gel colour palette.

I was given this overwhelming palette of colours to choose from, but I have decided on pastel pink prior to the appointment, so it kind of narrowed down my choices by half.

I liked how professional and efficient the manicurist was. Within the hour when I was there, she trimmed my nails, removed excess cuticles, applied three coats of polish, and finished off with moisturiser and a quick hand massage!

And ta-dah! Say hello to my squeaky clean sparkly nails!

Masks: Simple Homemade Recipes with Fresh Eggs

For this post, I will be sharing with you some simple homemade recipes that can be easily concocted with ingredients you can find from any supermarkets or grocery stores!

To start off, the following masks are for oily complexion and acne prone skin. Please note not to use this if you have dry skin, as the mask can be too drying for you.

Blackhead Removal and Pore Tightening Mask

Lemon juice helps to balance oily skin and prevent acnes. It also helps in skin brightening and lightening. Egg white has a tightening effect on your skin and helps to extract blackheads and dirt after it dries.

Ingredients:

- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice

- 1 large egg white

For entire face:

1. Remove all traces of makeup and cleanse your face

2. Whisk lemon juice with egg white till frothy, then apply the mixture on your face in circular motion from your chin upwards.

3. Wash the mask away with lukewarm water 

4. Continue with the rest of your beauty regime (check out my previous post on the miraculous 17-step korean beauty regime!)

For nose only (you will need an additional piece of thin cotton pad or single layer tissue):

1. Remove all traces of makeup and cleanse your face

2. Whisk lemon juice with egg white till frothy, then apply the mixture on your nose

3. Swiftly place the thin cotton pad or tissue over the mixture, allow to dry 

4. Peel the mask away and wash face with lukewarm water 

4. Continue with the rest of your beauty regime (check out my previous post on the miraculous 17-step korean beauty regime!)

Egg Yolk Mask

Don't waste the egg yolk after you separate them from the whites! If you do not intend to apply the mask on the same day, simply keep them airtight in the fridge. They should be able to stay fresh for up to three days. Lemon juice helps to eliminate the strong smell of raw egg and also helps in skin lightening and brightening.

Ingredients:

- 2 to 3 drops of lemon juice

- 1 large egg yolk

For entire face:

1. Remove all traces of makeup and cleanse your face

2. Beat egg yolk with lemon juice, then apply the mixture on your face in circular motion from your chin upwards.

3. Wash the mask away with lukewarm water 

4. Continue with the rest of your beauty regime (check out my previous post on the miraculous 17-step korean beauty regime!)

Do give the masks a try and let me know if they are useful for you too!
