The brow....

I have consider for a very very long time before I decide to get my brow embroidery again. 

I have 1 experiences before on such when I volunteered myself as a model for a brow shop. But because of the pricy price I didn't go for touch up and it's gone with the wind for 2 yearss.

After many many years ..I decided to do it again because I have 1 very stubborn left brow that require alot of time just to get it drawn 

It's not cheap tho.. not going to advertise for this brow shop because it's not perfect overall. The experiences with the beautician doing my brow ain't that good. Cos they are sitting beside me (on my right) and when they trying to do my left brow.. my eye was her resting area.. her hand weight was on my right eye that causes alot of discomfort. Rather than having them sitting on top on me to avoid all these...

Before they started... The beautician will access Ur face shape and length to draw the brow for you. They will show u how it will looks like before they started. 

Well... I have to trust their professionalism isn't it? Hahaha... 

End up. They have suggested the "misty brow"

The brow cost $298

The cream cost $68(if I remember)

The plaster cost $14 (waterproof plaster for brow)

The 1st 5days required us not to let the brow immerse with water. Applied the cream 4 times a day.

(The day of brow embroidery will be day 1) 

On the 6th day, we can shower and wash face as per normal.. cream is no longer required but avoiding make up is still advisable (for 2 weeks)

This is my brow before it's all started. 

So when I arrived. One of the ladies start applying numb cream on my brow and protected it 

In the must of tattoo-ing... My face are all cover with ink.. the lady rub it off quite hard I feel that my face skin is scalping off...

This is done work... And after much cleaning ... Looks good ya

This is what it is after done and I met my friend for coffee...

Day 1

See the difference between before and after.

The using of plaster plus cream is really troublesome... Pulling the plaster off was so painful... 

Day 6..  I know. I look firece 😄😄

Day 7

Day 9

Day 26

Brow Enliven

I happened to find this place call High Brow (Star Vista branch) while browsing through facebook, and they are looking for model on several service. So I decide to give this place a try by doing their Brow Enliven.

What is Brow Enliven?
As they explained, Brow Enliven is a 7D  long lasting brow treatment that produces more natural, more finely detailed eyebrows than other brow treatments.

How Long does it last?
They said : Each customer's choice of color, shape, experience and after care varies, thus the Brow Enliven is able to last 6 to 9 months for the first session, with a touch up within 6 months from first session, it can be extended to 1.5 year to 2 years depends on individual's skin condition.

Does it hurt?
Well.... For my own experience.... The numb cream is pretty useful. I dont really feel anything till the very last part of the treatment. Its like a paper cut on our skin.

The duration was about 2 hours... Before they start, they would actually look at your face shape and recommend the shape to you, and explan why they think it suits our face. I am convince at least. The therapist that did the brow for me is Yim. well.. at least her brow was nice to convince me further. Before the treatment, she would draw out the shape she mentioned on our brow and show us how it will really look like. And she will start only when we are satisfied with how we going to look. The colours will be on our own choice. and I choose a chestnut brown colour since my hair was always colored.

How does it looks?

 

 

the nest morning after the treatment.

The colour looks very dark at the beginning, but Yim said, it will fade off 50% of it after 10days. I just have to get used to it. Its kind of hard now... but I was given moisturiser and advise to apply on it twice a day.

The most torturing part is not during the treatment, but not having to wash my face as per normal for 7days!!!! argh.... Yim told me that I have to avoid water for 7days, washing my face without touching my brow is torturing!!!! I hope all this hardwork is worth it... cant wait for the result after 10 days.....

Will upload further photo....

Eyeliner Embroidery

I have always wanted a easy way out.... how about not having the trouble to draw anymore eyeliner, and when drawing it... just trying so hard to get both to be balance... not having worries about the smudge after a long day.... or sweat... hm.... sound nice....

Something I want to try for a long time... but imagine having needles on your eyelid, the most thinner skin among you... the pain... argh....

However... I still wanted to try... but the price of doing so was another draw back reason... some cost $860++ and some more than $1k or even $2k.... phew....

So I came across this advertisement by "Juz Today.

The price indicated and advertise was $39... Definately not true...everyone should know that an eyeliner embroidery is more than that and $39 is impossible. So... I called the shop and May the beautician answered  May actually told me that I do not need to purchase the voucher from Juz Today and still she will give me the same promotion price. and so I make an appointment with her.

Well... My appointment should be 11.45am when I called their shop, However, May was really blur who called me 1 day before the appointment and confirm with me that I have cancel it. I was like "huh...??" Did I not mentioned that May was a china citizen, so our conversation was all in chinese. The called to me was a Thursday afternoon, I was caught in surprise.. I told her that my appointment was actually on the coming Saturday 11.45am, than she ask me whether can I go at 11am as she had another appointment at 12pm..... hm.... guess not much different.

I do appear at the shop 15min earlier on that particular Saturday morning... and the shop was not open yet... so I waited patiently at the coffeebean near the shop....and when its already 11am... the shop is still not open...

I have waited for another 25min before the shop was opened. I was there with a friend who actually wanted to trim her eyebrow... so after we walk in, we are kind of weary to know that the beautician is not in shop yet.. Its another 15min of waiting before she walk in.

The shop was small.... very small.... and after the beautician May came, we have a chat... she show us alot of her work and she told us that she had 20yrs of experiences in this trade and she is good with doing her job. And told me there are lots of different type of eyeliner embroidery... some are hidden type which is not obvious.... some are just 1 line which that $39 voucher would have done and the normal type which I am going to do. I am convince thg... however I wanted to talk about the price. I know the cheapest price I can get is around $500 to do this.... and definately not $39. We kind of having some negotiation with her the room before I decide to do it. She was offering me the price of $420. But I have nego to a price of $350. (alittle regret... I should go much lower ike $300).  And we need to get a lotion to apply after it was done to prolong the colour which will cost $88 (this I was not told as she admit she forget about it till I have done everything).

OK... enought of my stories.... The place name is Paris Brow House @ Chinatown Point #02-32

 Look at the name sound like a very "ang mo" place.... there are only 2 staff doing it, and if you are considering this place... please take my advise to pick a time which is off peak timing and during weekdays.... There are alot of tourist and they are very irritating.

I am kind of unhappy when I was ask to do my eyeliner outside instead of the facial room they have, May told me as all her equipment are outside but I think because the shop only have 2 staff mending and 1 of them actually have to do facial and she have to do it outside just to mend the shop..

After I decide to do it, she start removing my eye make up... and applying Anesthetic on both my eyes... and was told to wait for 30min,,, so I was doing nothing with my eyes close for 30 min.... 

She told more than 30min to remove the Anesthetic off my eyes and ask me to go out of the room to get my eyeliner done.... 

The starting is really painless because of the Anesthetic... I dont really feel anything at all. One thing I cant take it is... while on the process of doing my eyeliner, there are irritating tourist asking question and she need to answer and trying to catch more business.... OMG!!! and after a while... I feel that my right eyes Anesthetic is fading off.... it took a long time for her to do my left eyes which she started first... I believe it took almost 20min on my left eyes... imagine.... an Anesthetic can last for about an hour only... and she took 30min for the Anesthetic to take effect... and spending 20min to move in and out and entertain other customer... and therefore my right eyes only have 10 min left of Anesthetic, after 20min of my left eye... I start to feel pain... the sharp pain on the needle poking my eyelid which is unbearable... so she start putting so call liquid Anesthetic on it.... gosh... After she start on my right eyes... I could feel the pain... I was complain how pain it was but she said in order for her to apply that liquid Anesthetic she needs to go thru the 1st layer of color.... 

It was really hell... and after she think she has satisfied with her work, she pass me a mirror to look at it and see whether she like what I saw...I have difficulty opening my eyes actually because of the spotlight the shop have.... ... honestly I didnt know how good it was... She was the one helping me to see whether its balance... whether longer I need or whatever... gosh... doing the eyeliner without Anesthetic is hell.....  One thing u need to know too.... while doing the eyeliner... the liner will smash all over ur face..... which means... the make up I apply there is all gone....

Lets look at the result dont we? Look at the before and after result of the eyeliner embroidery

 

 My friend it looks very natural..... I guess too....

Day 1 of the eyeliner done......

Day 2, the next morning after I work up....

1 month later since I get my eyeliner done...

 My eyeliner is getting more natural after a month....not as thick as my 1st done.

 I will update again on the result... let see does this eyeliner last.....

Ensogo aka deal.com

 

The worst of your day make it happen when u have to deal with a customer service personnel who does not fit to be one, and yes, we all agree that human are unreasonable and its not easy to please with, they used words that sound rude. But sometime, we need to understand the part on why it pissed them off? If its just for nothing, than its time for the customer service personnel to curse and swear the customer, but what if the customer is being pissed by the customer service personnel?

When we apply for a job, we have to know the hard task behind every job we applied. Customer service is the most difficult task. But if we are not the kind of person who can hang on with it, I would suggest a job without dealing with them.

Today I am the customer and I call the really sucks customer service from Ensogo today.

I had purchase an item that cost over hundreds over dollar, somewhere in 12 November 2015 and it indicated that the item will be deliver by ensogo. The delivery date is between 13 Nov to 03 Dec. How wonderful. When the dates get near, I received no call, email or whatsoever and I feel not right. I tried calling ensogo hotline +65 6299 3011  again and again for almost half a day and no one pick up. after 20 over times of trying attempt, I decide to give up and email them instead. Guess what... they reply and said there is a delay in shipment, the new shipment is  05 Dec to 09 Dec 2015. I was like... Okay... and wonder if I dont email them, will they even inform.

Its 10 Dec 2015 and I have yet received the item as they mentioned. And when I login into my purchase voucher, it indicated "REDEEMED" with an "ED" I was like WHAT??? and this time round, I would need to call them and make this stupid enquiry.

Out of my horror... this girl who answer my call sound irritated and frustrated.. I was like HELLO.... what kind of attitude was that? I cool myself down, giving her excuses like she may have handle a numbers of calls and she is a human after all... but when I ask her, why was there no email informing the customer of another delay, she start to fire me and snatch my part of saying... fine... I let her talk and she didnt want to... WTH.... and so I am asking.. Since ensogo get the money and indicated that the delivery was from them, why didnt they make the responsibility of making sure the shipment is carry out and keep their customer informed earlier of the shipment delay? Why make the customer check on the shipping company on our own and so what? Ensogo just happily sell the item and thats it, nothing to do with me. If Ensogo would have indicated "merchant delivery" I will be more than happy to find the merchant instead of them isnt it?

This Ensogo is good for nothing... When they used their old name "deal.com.sg" their reputation was horrible. And by changing the name, I thought they have change their management. But still, their service has turn from bad to worst... I guess, this will be my last time dealing with them. They should just close down their business if they dont need one.

People and friends out there who wish to deal with them... you will have to deal with your own risk...
