I AM LAZY.

I like to look like a million bucks, but I really am NOT interested in doing the SUNSCREEN -> PRIMER -> FOUNDATION -> LUMINIZER -> SETTING POWDER routine.

Please give me a break!!!

As an urban professional, I have enough stuffs to do, let alone sit in front of my dressing table, spending over 15 minutes to get ready. (Oops, did I spill my secret?)

Everything is about the C word (not THAT C word): Convenience.


I came across this miracle product by chance.

I was bare-faced that day when I visited my girl friend's place, and I was not expecting to meet anyone other than her that day.

Naturally I used her products. And there it was, this little white porcelain bottle topped with a silver crown-shaped cap.

DANG. It was love-at-first-use!

It smelled like heaven--my favorite sandalwood scent.

And it was so light yet luminous and moisturizing.

Not to mention it still covers your imperfections.

The best part? It came with natural sun protection. I believe it is SPF 22 but don't quote me on this.

Then I learned that it was a product designed by a local Taiwanese aristocratic lady who spent 8 years in perfecting the formula of this "Elixir".

Her vision was to create something luxurious yet easy enough for all women to use so they could skip the hassle of applying a thousand products on their face before they go out.

She believes that the skin is the "canvas of beauty" that everyone notices at first.

And she formulated the product with the ambition to even wow the crowds who are used to using premium brands such as La Mer, Cle de Peau Beaute, Sisley, etc. Her private clients include the rich and wealthy people across her mother country of Taiwan and all across Europe and Asia.




10 Benefits of Using the Lucky Ya All-In-One Foundation:

1. 3D light particles made with nano technology-processed diamond powder that provides a luminous finish

2. Creates an instant lifting and firming action that smooths pores

3. Long-lasting moisture lock technology that is water and sweat-resistant

4. Provides skin protection for outdoors with UV coverage

5. Designed for problematic skin such as blemish-prone skin, sensitive skin types, uneven skin tones

6. Moisturizer, Primer, and Foundation all blended into One convenient product

7. Easy to remove and no cake-ness upon re-application

8. Auto-matches your natural skin tone upon 5 minutes of application

9. Adjusts your outer and inner skin tone by its anti-fatigue, brightening, moisturizing and anti-wrinkle properties

10. Suitable for both men and women, the Foundation is light yet provides enough coverage for healthy-looking skin.



Let me say that the price is definitely PREMIUM, but if you consider the number of products you have skipped and the amount of product you get (50ml, but you really need just the size of a pearl), then it is well worth it.

affordable gold-plated silver jewelry, all crafted by Italian artisans


Wearing jewelry adds a touch of elegance and constructs a sense of new style by balancing the outfits for every men and women. Jewelry is an expression of personality and gives an otherwise simple outfit a fresh twist.

Most women love to have their own jewelry box filled with items that are suited for different occasions. The problem of reality is, of course, how many (and how much) can one afford? Should you aim for quality over quantity? But what if you want to be explorative and playful at times? You don't always just want to keep the "classics"--namely, your diamond studs or pearl studs, a long chain necklace, a nice strand of pearls (necklace), a pair of nice hoops, a classic ring with a (small) rock, and a gold bangle/ bracelet. We are creatures of style and fashion. Admit it, we love variety! So why have to compromise between quantity over quality? Why can't a beautiful, confident woman (and man) like you get BOTH?


Jewelry That Shines In Every Direction


I love to wear different pieces based on the outfits I'm sporting. And one of my jewelry "best friends" would be multi-colored diamond cut earrings, bracelets and necklaces.3-D Diamond cut jewelry are not made of diamonds, but a type of finish jewelers add by cutting small grooves into the metals that give a high polish to increase the sparkling reflections. The result? Brighter, shinier pieces than ordinary gold, platinum o silver pieces.



Why I Love Ejj...


NUMBER 1: PRICE POINT!!!! They are SO affordable! Everything is made with 925 Sterling Silver with gold-plated, and some even with enamel and Akoya pearls. Most importantly, they are all MADE IN ITALY (not "Made in China"....sorry China). Prices are generally between USD80-200. What else can you ask for?


NUMBER 2: Range

You have pieces that are super dainty and girly all the way to bold, chunky, very Italian pieces (think Robxxxx Coin, Buccexxxxx, Bulxxxx inspired pieces). I particularly fall for vintage-inspired designs that speaks glamour. Plus, Ejj's designer Elaine loves art and fashion that she constantly incorporates the most current trends into her collections. NUMBER 3: Quality

Since they are all gold-plated, you don't really have too much problem with pieces tarnishing easily. And for people who have sensitivity to "cheap metals", you are totally safe wearing Ejj items. In addition, the brand also has a selection of colored aluminum jewelry that, jewelry aficionados all know, are the "IT" items in the artisan jewelry world now.

Tibetan Incense.

Maybe you've never heard of it. This is a type of natural incense used in Tibetan Buddhism rituals for 1,300 years. It has a typical "earth" or "herbal" flavor. Tibetan people also use it for healing support. Tibetan incense has a deep relationship with Buddhism and Tibetan Medicine so it's an important representative of Tibetan culture.


After the 7th century AD, Songtsan Gambo sent 16 young talents to study in India, 15 of them died abroad, and only Thonmi Sambhota returned. He also invented the Tibetan language and translated many Buddhist scriptures. Later, he returned to his hometown Tumda village. He found that the land here was scarce, so he passed on the techniques of making Tibetan incense to the people for improving the lives of the villagers. He used the resources of the Tumba River to invent the water mill Tibetan incense, which should be the earliest Tibetan incense in Tibet. It has been more than 1,300 years since then.


Tibetan incense's ingredients are a variety of precious Chinese herbal medicines, which are physically mixed and formulated in proportion and have great healing properties.

According to the theory of Tibetan medicine, Tibetan incense products meet the Five Elements of the human body. Its medicinal principles are detoxification, sterilization, anti-infection, anti-virus. It can kill pathogenic microorganisms in the air, purify the air, and prevent the spread of viruses.


The ingredients used to make the Tibetan incense are hand-collected by Incense Master Renqing Dezhe. His incense are being used in the sacred Potala Palace in Tibet.


This annual collection is a very important life journey for Dezhe.

Dezhe's collection time takes nearly half a year, from July until the first snow.

The physical distribution of the medicinal herbs is very wide, ranging Lhasa to Qinghai and Gansu. The altitude extends from about 6,000 meters to 3,000 meters.


Musk is one of the components of Tibetan incense. Musk is hard to find, and Dezhe said that we can only wait for the snow to fall, and all the plants to dry out. Only when there is no interference from other flowers and herbs in the air can the smell of musk be distinguished.

Dezhe followed the footprints of the musk deer in the snow. If you're lucky, you can find naturally shed musk in the dung feces.


Walking in the mountains, Dezhe would often stop to make offerings to Cha Cha (Tibetan deity). This is used to stabilize the elements of earth, water, fire and wind in mountainous areas.


Dezhe said, "Tibetan incense is made by nature. If one of the plants is missing, the four kinds of incense cannot be produced. The mountains are lonely, and Dezhe is alone for more than ten years."


The stars in the night sky of the Himalayas are always with him, the bright wish in his heart.

Dezhe said, "I make incense because I want people all over the world to be healthy and happy."


Incense Master Renqing Dezhe makes four types of incense. He only produces one batch of incense per year, so once they are sold out, you have to wait for the next year. And depending on ingredients' availabilities due to Mother Nature, there is no guaranteed date of production. His incenses are named "Morning Glory", "Star Flame", “Elemental Harmony" and "Pilgrimage to Truth". They correspond to the four mystical animals of the ancient Chinese culture in four directions, and they contain precious ingredients such as gold, American, coral, turquoise, and saffron.
