Remember my photoshoot with LANEIGE & Clozette that I mentioned two weeks ago?

It was actually a makeover session with their latest Two-Tone Collection that I am sure you all will definitely love!

Following the highly successful launch of Two Tone Lip Bar in March 2015, LANEIGE expanded this gorgeous range which features an improved Two Tone Lip Bar with new colours as well as the ALL-NEW TWO TONE SHADOW BAR!

If you are wondering how all the K-pop stars always look so effortless and amazing, you can too! 

With LANEIGE's Two Tone Collection, you can now have gorgeous looking gradient lips and eyes!

Seeing double with Two Tone Shadow Bar!

If you ever wonder, how to acheive reaaaaally natural-looking eye makeup that gradients nicely and effortlessly, you will not want to miss the revolutionary Two Tone Shadow Bar!

Packaged in a sleek shape, with an improved button rail and cap and topped off with LANEIGE’s exclusive oblique cutting feature, these helps to enhance usability and a more natural gradation with just one application!

In my makeover session, the Two Tone Shadow Bar No. 12 in Golden Rose was used, as well as Two Tone Shadow Bar No. 13 in Orange Island!

Two Tone Shadow Bar No. 13 in Orange Island

The Two Tone Shadow Bar is cream-based and available in four colours – Humming Coral, Golden Rose, Orange Island, and Coffee Bronze.

Notice the sparkles in the eyeshadow around my eyes?

That's because the base colour is formulated with Jewel Powder -  a mineral pigment that adds a subtle shimmering effect, brightening the eyes and the under-eye area. 

And I have to add that the Jewel Powder comprises 7 types of ingredients – amethyst, pearl, coral, tourmaline, amber, jade, and ruby!!!

(All the gems and good stuffs, seriously!)

With artistic color match, the Two Tone Shadow Bar can easily take you from day to night looks by cleverly combining tones that blend well together!

If you are worried that the product does not suit you, rest assured that it is a soft cream-type formulated with aloe vera powder and a vitamin E plant derivative to help moisturise the skin around the eyes and is ideal for all skin types! 

Containing cross polymer powder, it also lessens the stickiness of the cream to help reduce creasing effect, and has a perfect fit on the contours of your lids to ensure easy application :D

Shades and swatches :

Both shades are really pigmented and glides on smoothly onto my skin.

It seems to me that the gradient in No. 12 Golden Rose is much more natural as compared to No. 13 Orange Island, but after minimal blending with my brush, the gradient turns out beautiful too for shade No. 13 Orange Island.

Directions for use : 

1. Lower the button after removing the lid.

2. The lower point of the Two Tone Shadow Bar is the point colour (for lash line), while the upper is the base colour (for eye lid). 

Position accordingly then apply it on the inner corner of the eye. 

Using your own finger, spread the cream across the lid to achieve a natural gradation.

3. Pat on LANEIGE Brush Pact for longer-lasting results*.

*Because of the Two Tone Shadow Bar’s cream formulation, creases may occur when the cream meets the oil around the eyes. For longer-lasting results, complete your eye makeup by patting on LANEIGE Brush Pact (or general loose powder).

Pucker up! It's the Two Tone Lip Bar

Retaining it's original shape from the first-gen Two Tone Lip Bar, to further enhance usability, the second-gen Two Tone Lip Bars features an improved button rail and cap. 

Consisting of four new funky colours – Juicy Pop, Maxi Red, Orange Blurring, and Dear Pink, this range uses LANEIGE’s exclusive oblique cutting feature for a natural gradation in just one application!

With a combination of high gloss and semi-matte lipstick, it features a Two Tone Chemistry which lends a delightfully voluminous touch to your lips. 

The main colour (applied to the inner side of the lips) features an

upgraded pure pigment technology marrying Aqua Color and Glass Polymer for a more vivid colour brighter turn-out.

The sub colour (applied to the outer side of the lips) helps gives a soft, subtle tint for that effortless K-pop star look.

With an artistic color match, the Two Tone Lip Bar is formulated with a sparkling pure pigment to reflect light to help brighten up our skin tones.

With its creamy texture, the Two Tone Lip Bar glides on to our lips smoothly with ease and spreads nicely like a sorbet, making application such a breeze!

Shades and swatches :

As you can see, for Orange Blurring, the white subtle shade cannot really be seen on the skin, but however when it is applied on my lips, it gives a nice sheen onto your natural lip colour and gradients nicely with the orange part.

For Maxi Red, the subtle tint is of peachy pink colour that I really adore and when it glides on as it brings out the red nicely but not too overpowering.

Directions of use

1. Lower the button after removing the lid.

2. To prevent the lipstick from breaking, lower the button by just one notch.

3. The upper side is the main colour, which should be applied to the inner side of lips. Start by applying it to the upper lip, followed by flipping the Lip Bar around to apply it to the lower lip.

4. For a more natural gradation, smack your lips by mouthing the words, “Um … Pa!”

I underwent the TCM Meridian Gua Sha Slimming which lasted for about 90 mins.

It is said that the Meridian Gua Sha Slimming Massage therapy uses electro heat Gua Sha cups to relieve pain, stiffness & common ailments such as fever, chills, cough & nausea. 

It also helps to balances the Chi in the body, promotes blood circulation & removes toxic heat for superior detoxifying & slimming effects.

I was told that the effects can be felt and seen over the few days after the therapy.

Like you literally will be detoxifying (passing out waste from our body) and even though weight numbers will not drop, one can notice a more slender and toned-looking body.

I was told to undress and change into a disposable undergarment provided.

This is to ensure that the massage creams/oils used and their residue do not come into contact with our apparels or belongings.

After a short body massage, the Gua Sha treatment starts.

I noticed that the therapist used a different tool for the Gua Sha treatment;

pretty modern to me, unlike the conventional Gua Sha methods.

It was slightly painful but I can actually feel more heat than pain haha.

(electro heat Gua Sha cups were used in this treatment)

After that, the therapist did a massage on my tummy to get rid of the bloatedness and also to aid in blood circulation.

Herbs was applied on my tummy afterwards to help in detoxifying.

 After that, I was wrapped up from neck down for a herbal steam bath which helps promote blood circulation and help relaxes the body.

The special part about this? 

The steamer used is literally a rice cooker!

I fell asleep because it was really relaxing and soothing.

Indeed a very different Gua Sha Slimming experience as compared to the experience my friends had!

At Porcelain Hotel, you can choose to visit Huang Ah Ma The Oriental Spa Chamber any time from 11am till midnight daily - but please call to book your appointment in advance before heading down!

Thank you for reading!
