December to March is Korea's Strawberry Season and it is when the finest strawberries are harvested.

For us Singaporeans to experience the best of these strawberries, LiHo Tea is specially flying in these hand-picked Seolhyang Strawberries from the farms in Korea EVERY 3 DAYS! 

Imagine that.

And.. I actually the ate strawberries for the first time ever in my life!

I felt that it was a little bland with a tinge of sweetness and sourness, just alright!

Like a normal procedure, when I reached, I was told to fill up a form about my particulars and some usual Q&A regarding my skin. I also had a complimentary Personalised Skin Analysis (U.P. $38) to check on my *Epidermis (Outermost Layer of Skin which provides a waterproof barrier and creates our skin tone) as well as the *Dermis (beneath the Epidermis, contains tough connective tissue, hair follicles and sweat glands).  *terms a bit cheem but learn la hor


Annabelle Skin uses a Hi-Tech Scalar Skin Scanner from Japan, that will also help to analyse our skin profile - pores' condition, smoothness and suppleness.

The Skin Analysis will also then be able to recommend me a suitable Facial Treatment according to what my skin needs!

I was recommended to the "Natural Facial Treatments" specially for Young Adults.

They had 4 different Facial Treatments under this category, and I was recommended to E02 - Herbal Facial Treatment. I personally chose that as well as it fits well with my budget, moreover there's an ampoule, mask as well as their facial and shoulder massage which is a MUST TRY!

After the treatment - I felt so refreshed! Prior to the facial treatment, I actually didn't have sleep for one night so I felt extremely tired, but I had an amazing nap whilst enjoying the treatment and massage.

A Boomerang was recorded and as you can see, there is absolutely no redness at all on my skin.






Went for Yin Yoga, Core and Dance class the very next day but my skin was great!


So prior to my fourth visit, something BAD happened.

I was introduced to this X brand of Mud Mask in which it's supposed to be helping my skin to clear the impurities and what not, was eager to try as I had a presentation the week after so I definitely wanted to look my best...

To my horror.

Here's what happened.


Not everything is for sensitive skin... and my skin reacted badly to the product used and had breakouts and mini scars that were bleeding :(

Never in history had I experienced such a bad break out before.

(I really don't wanna write the brand here, coz it might just be me, but if you wanna know what it is, email me!)



During my fourth visit, I got "lectured" by Shirley (Founder of Annabelle Skin) a little to remember NOT to anyhow use product samples and what not, sometimes, sensitive skin is really a big problem and not every brand's sensitive skin is YOUR sensitive skin.

Remember that!

Otherwise, you have to suffer and have all these scars and what not just because of the wrong choice of product being used.

It is important that you are talking to a qualified expert on skin rather than just a salesperson who only knows what is good about their product, rather then what is good for your skin.

Managed to clear out the impurities and what not after facial, felt SO MUCH better.

The very next day, I had to head down to the salon to dye my hair, and all I had was skincare since Erwin Laoban is the only one that will see me, plus some red lipstick on!

Lipstick makes your face look less pale even without skincare or foundation!

I thought I would have to wait for a very long time to step in The Makeover Inc to have my photos taken.

Prior to this day, there were so much obstacles that I had to first overcome to be able to stand in that studio.

Sounds dramatic, I know.

So.. let's start this off by the First Part of the story.

The Beginning

I got to know about The Makeover Inc back then as I was a blogger for Mrs Singapore World 2015/16 there was this signature image of the salon that I loved, until this date.




She's actually the founder & managing director of The Makeover Inc, Ms Brenda Goh.

Through Mrs Singapore World, I witnessed transformation of the ladies whom are usually not so "dressed up" and subsequently, their overall image simply became better and better after the makeover.

I was a fan of The Makeover Inc's end product - the images of the ladies.

The smile they had, the intensity in their eyes, the way they posed.

In 2016 June, I made the decision to change - hard.

The Change

Story here.

Even until today, I'm not comfortable in my own skin, it's just something that most people outside wouldn't understand; the kind of pain I have inside me regarding this matter.

It is still something that affects myself, that I am very conscious for every smile/pose/picture taken.

Surprisingly, right? Even though I kinda branded myself as a selfie queen yet deep down these underlying issues still exist when it comes to someone else taking the photos.

When I first had my corporate shoot back then in June, the photographer then already had so much issues capturing the right picture - in fact I didn't really like any of the pictures in particular; not because of his skills, rather because of what I saw in myself that others might deem it as "nice"

The Opportunity

So, in August I had the opportunity to go for a shoot with The Makeover Inc, and I swore - I was SO EXCITED.

For that shoot, I had a strict meal plan for myself, had to retouch the Goldilocks as my black roots were terrible, I conquered my biggest fear of wearing contacts - thanks to KJ Optometrists as well (will share the story one day) bought myself lovely shoes from Riccino Shoes.

I did what Brenda said - just buy some nice clothes and bring whatever I think is nice in a huge luggage, which I did.


The Day

When you Look Good, you will Feel Good.
