Review: Elishacoy Always Nuddy CC Cream

Tried using Elishacoy Always Nuddy CC Cream the other day and so here’s a review of it!

CC Creams are the rave now and CC stands for Color Correct or Color Care. The difference between a CC cream and a BB cream is that CC creams focus more on correcting complexion issues and evening out skin tone while providing hydration and UV protection.

White based liquid-like cream.

CC creams are usually lighter in texture than BB creams and thus gives a more natural looking finish. But lighter texture would mean less coverage as well.

The Elishacoy Always Nuddy CC Cream lasted well throughout the day despite the weather being super warm and humid. My complexion became slightly brighter after applying the product and I do notice tiny dispersed shimmers in the cream to help with that. I would say that this CC Cream provides light coverage only, so you’ll need your concealer if you wish to conceal more. But overall the finishing is very natural looking, good for days when you just want to go out with minimal makeup! It’s a Korean brand btw, and like I’ve mentioned, I always trust Koreans when it comes to skincare/makeup cos they all have flawless looking skin!

Btw, you can get the CC Cream from wishtrend.com, which is an online portal that is on the lookout for the best cosmetics that have not been participated in various distribution networks. They ship worldwide btw! Here’s a discount code if you’re interested to shop on the site!

First Days.

Today marks my first day of work. Unlike the rest of the part-time jobs which I took up during my holidays, the working life is here to stay. You know the feeling you get when you first go to new schools and new classes back in primary, secondary and JC/Poly? First days of everything is the scariest. The uncertainty you feel in a totally new environment. What kind of people you’ll meet, if your classmates are nice and if your teachers are nice. Starting a new job is the same too, you’ll hope to get nice colleagues, nice supervisors, nice environment.

I used to really dread working because it’s going to be for the rest of the life, no more school holidays and lesser free time during weekdays. But when you think about it, school and work is actually the same too. Both requires the same set of skills – interpersonal skills and efficiency in doing things. What replaces homework in school are your tasks in your workplace which also comprises of problem solving skills. The difference is that during work what you’re dealing with is more relevant real-life examples rather than very theoretical scenarios which would never happen in real-life. As well as in the workplace some mistakes are not tolerated unlike how you can always do corrections for your homework in school.

My first day was hmm okay? Cos it was just orientations and learning about the whole business process which could be quite confusing. But the real info has yet to come. Oh, and I got locked out while going to the ladies and got lost while walking back to my desk cos the whole place was like a maze. No idea how it’ll go but I’ll remain hopeful.

Today my whole twitter timeline was about the haze which was super horrible!!! Everywhere looks like somewhere is on fire. Stay indoors people!!

Hot Summer Days.

The weather is super crazy these days I tell you!!!! I feel like I’m baking in an oven even at home.


I’ve been eating Pepper Lunch so many times last week. Like 4 out of 7 days. And if I could, I would have really loved to have it everyday. And on Friday when I was there, they were having this Sjora promotion! At first I thought it was just free upgrade of drink to their Mango Peach, but turns out that they’re giving a Mango Peach free! So I’ve 2 drinks so shiok lol.


T was complaining that we’ve been eating beef for so many days. You mean you can get sick of eating meat?? But anyway, I’ve tried the Pepper Lunch express outlets for 2 times and the normal Pepper Lunch restaurant for the other 2 times and my verdict is that the restaurant gives much more meat and rice even for student meal. And somehow the quality of the meat tastes better.


My outfit that day:

TVD Embroidered Peterpan Top
Lowrys Farm Printed Skorts
Jipaban wedges

I’ve just recently purchased the Skorts from Lowrys Farm cos they were having such good sales! The prints are so pretty loh but I hope that I don’t see this print everywhere on the streets like the Cotton On Floral Skirt.

Missing Taiwan food so I wanted to eat Chicken Cutlet rice!

Miss Taiwan so so much where food is crazy cheap. ):

Saw this cool structure in Downtown East which is a structure shaped like a tree made out of recycled materials.

Made out of hangers!!

What weird games are kids playing nowadays??! Why so scary looking one.

I think it’s an educational game/cartoon to teach you not to litter.

During my childhood, I was watching less-scary cartoons like this…

 

HAHAHAHA. I remember watching with my brother who’s 5 years younger than me. So you can probably tell that I’ve a very delayed childhood.


Ending off with a photo of my face cos it’s really rare for me to even take self-shots nowadays lolol.

Gumtree Singapore.

When buying things like gadgets/electronics, I like to go online forums to search for second hand items because they’re usually much cheaper than retail and you can actually find good deals around if you bother to hunt.

One site that has a great variety of items that you can browse on is Gumtree! I discovered this site when I was looking around for guinea pigs last time lol. But of course they have other categories like Clothes and Accessories, Cameras, TVs, basically anything and everything!


It’s essentially a platform to connect sellers and buyers so if you’ve something you want to buy, you can visit the site and use the search function to see if you’re lucky enough to get a good deal! I was actually looking for a Fathers’ Day gift and I thought of getting a watch for my Dad.

Btw, watches drop ALOT in value (Approx 50% for most watches except for Rolex which drops about 10-20%) if you buy them brand new, so of course a more cost effective way is to get them second hand and that’s what alot of people who play watches do. After all you can just change the straps and they’ll be good as new already!

This page shows a whole list of search results for you to browse through and take your pick. On the right hand side you can actually see easily the prices of the items so you can filter them out according to your budget. Not only that, you can also view the location of the seller (like which part of Singapore they’re in) so you can decide if it’s too inconvenient to purchase the item. But don’t worry, some sellers are open to meeting at a convenient place if you’re really keen in buying!

After hunting, I found this Seiko model that I find suitable and the price was right.

To contact the seller, simply use the email contact form at the side and send a message to the seller! Usually I’ll include my HP number for quick transactions.

And indeed this was a really quick transaction! Contacted the seller on Monday, met up on Tuesday and I got the item already! The item was like brand new so happy with my purchase! And I managed to get a slight discount of $10 lolol. Tip when buying things online: Always ask the seller for their best price because usually they’ll put a price that makes room for any bargains.

Comes with the original box and papers too. When buying items online, always make sure that it comes with authentications to prevent buying fake products!

Apart from the bracelet, it comes with a rubber strap too.

Can you tell that this is second hand if I didn’t say?? So good condition! Oh, speaking about the condition of the item, another tip is to always check the condition of the item thoroughly on the spot before buying!

Visit Gumtree Singapore if you’ve something in mind to purchase!! The site is very user-friendly which I really like too. I’m recently on a look out for second hand stationary exercise bike to exercise at home! Brand new ones cost so much!

Of course, other than buying items, you can also put up free ads on gumtree to sell your items!! From now till 30 June, Gumtree is having a Gumtree Fashion Month and they’re giving you a chance to win $600 worth of shopping vouchers during the Great Singapore Sale! All you have to do is sell any clothes or accessories on Gumtree. The higher the number of ad postings, the greater the reward! Click HERE for more details!
