Birthday Dinner at Tsukada Nojo Bijin Nabe 美人鍋

Just 2 days before my school term starts, I met up with the clique to celebrate GF's birthday in advance. The birthday girl chosen the venue for dinner at Tsukada Nojo @ Chinatown Point. This was my first time trying 美人鍋.

In TSUKADA NOJO Singapore, they serve collagen soup beauty pot made by the nourishing "JITOKKO", and other popular menu in Japan.

Thank you Jasmine for the group photo of us.
We haven't been having such dinner gathering for quite sometimes, because everyone was busy with our own commitments. Finally we squeezed out time to celebrate GF's birthday.

We got a complimentary plate of fries because Terence got promoted to Manager. I am now a Assistant Manager, I will get promoted in my next visit.

The collagen pudding was placed in the pot and it will melt by itself. So cool right. 

The collagen pudding has melted into chicken soup.

The Bijin Nabe consists of the golden Jidori chicken soup, chicken, tori tsukune, winter melon, watermelon radish, black & white fungus, shrimps, deep fried tofu, mushroom, lettuce, cabbage and egg noodles.

We also ordered some side dishes - sausage rice ball roll wrapped with cabbage. It was delicious.

I love the fried chicken with yuzu dressing. It was a perfect combination and it tasted great.

We ordered another plate with the spicy sauce.  The sauce was really spicy, I have to gulp down my cup of tea with just a mouthful bite.

We ended our dinner with lovely dessert from Tsukada Nojo with the word "Arigato" written on the plate. So cute!

We left the restaurant with bloated stomach. It was a great gathering, let's have our next meet up soon. Good night.

Began my weekend with an exclusive Crème Simon Workshop with Larry Yeo. Thanks GF for extending your invitation to me.

Through this event, I was being introduced to the brand, Crème Simon.

Crème Simon is a natural French skin care products since 1860. Their products use only natural active ingredients derived from pure botanical extracts. 

Here are some of their top selling products.

The delicious macarrons from Laduree was being served during the event.

The celebrity makeup artist, Larry Yeo, was there to demonstrate the steps of skincare regime to achieve a natural glow and tips on hydrating our skin.

Glad to learn many beauty tips from Larry today.

I'm bagged home with generous products from Crème Simon. Let me share with you the products that I have gotten.

From left to right: Restorative Light Night Moisturiser, Dermo-Hydrating Toner Mist, Micellar Water Makeup Remover for Eyes & Face and Crème Universelle.

Crème Simon Micellar Water Makeup Remover for Eyes & Face

The water-based no-rinse make-up remover gently and thoroughly lifts away all impurities and makeup, including waterproof makeup. Pure and refreshing, with no oily after-feel. 

The texture of the makeup remover is just like water. It ccombines the refreshing coolness of water with the cleansing action of oil micelles, chemical structures that trap impurities and make-up. 

This is a non rinse makeup remover, so just apply and cleanse over face and eye areas with cotton pad. 

My review:

I like the water based makeup remover, it is non sticky and leave a hydrating finish. My skin feel refreshed and comfortable after using it, as though I have just cleansed my face.

Retail price: $55/150ml

Crème Simon Dermo-Hydrating Toner Mist

The light refreshing and hydrating mist removes last traces of make-up and impurities, for a lovely clean and dewy skin without sticky after-feel. Sprayed on hair and body, it has a delightful, delicate scent. 

The toner mist has multi-purpose use. It can be used as toner, hydrating mist and even to set makeup.

Toner: Spray on cotton pad to cleanse face. 
Hydrating mist: Spray liberally over face, neck and body. 
Set makeup: Mist face at arm's length.

My review:

The toner mist has a light fragrance scent when spritz on face, giving me a refreshing feel. The toner is fast absorbed into skin, providing hydration to my skin.

Retail price: $55/150ml

Crème Simon Restorative Light Night Moisturiser

Apply this unique gel-cream at night and wake up to visibly brighter skin.
Concentrated in potent active ingredients, our skin is refined and nourished without excessive richness. Embrace this nightly ritual for rested and regenerated skin. 

To apply daily in the evening/night on face and neck.

My review:

I applied it at night before I went to bed. When I woke up the next day, my skin still feel hydrated and bright. Usually when I woke up, my skin will feel oily and dull. The moisturizer too has a nice scent and my skin feel supple after application.

Retail price: $98/50ml

Crème Simon Crème Universelle
