Nail & Lash pamper @ Musee Crystal Tokyo - Part 2 Eyelashes!!

Here's part 2 of my Musee Crystal Tokyo experience and i'm sure this is the part where all of my "Asian short lash" readers go crazy about!

Eyelash extensions!!

Majority of the people from the western side of this world may not understand the need of eyelash extensions BUT the unkind truth for us asians is that we have got short and straight/ even worst for some droopy lashes. And so we need a whole load of mascara/ fake lash that gives our lashes more volume and curl.

But eyelash extensions are the savior for people like me! coz i would rather lay on my bed for 15 more mins than to sit on my dressing table for an extra 15 mins to get myself ready for work.

i'm lazy!!! ha!


Eyelash extension in process by Miss Keiko

I've tried eyelash extension at 3 other beauty salons and they are all crappy! All of them are not individual extensions. Lash extensions at those salons are done in little chunks of maybe 4 or 5 lashes per chunk. Making it super obvious if one of them were to fall. What i really dislike about their lash extension is that the lashes turns hard when i splash water on my face. And that is really irritating! Imagine having to be super carefully when u are washing your face especially the eye area. *irritating*!

But at Musee Crystal Tokyo, Lash extensions are done with individual lashes, one by one with lots of patience. And the adhesive that is used for lash extension is not applied directly on the eyelids , therefore the possibilities of allergies are cut down to the minimum!


Every step is done carefully


Left, Before extension.
Right, After extensions on right eye.

See the difference?? The extensions are super soft and super natural but still at the same time it gave me that voluminous and curlier lashes. Believe it or not, i've got someone sitting just one coffee table away from me and he didn't realize that my lashes are extension but instead thought that i had eye enhancing lens on cause my eye looked different.

And i do not experience hard lashes when in contact with water or patchy eyelashes when one of the extensions fall.

Below is a picture taken 3 days after the lash extensions are done. Note that i do not have any eye make up on.


Pretty eyes even without eye makeup!

Nail & Lash Pamper @ Musee Crystal Tokyo - Part 1 Nails!

Eyelash and nail extension has in recent years stormed into the lives of many beauty lovers, both woman and even man! And, that includes me! eyelash extensions, Acrylic nail extensions, Gel nail extension, even hair extension have played their part in what i call my life cycle!

And since, extension are a big part of me, how could i not try out Musee Crystal Tokyo's invitation to try out their eyelash and nail extension technology brought here all the way from Japan.

Alittle background about Musee Crystal Tokyo:

Musee Crystal Tokyo as can be seen from the name, the company was founded in Japan similar to it's Sister brand Musee Platinum which specializes in Hair removal.

Musee Crystal Tokyo is a all in one beauty salon that takes care of not only your facial and body treatments but also cosmetic pampers such as Hair removal, Eyelash and Nail extensions.


Musee Crystal Tokyo!

Before i start, let me first mention the ladies that attended to me.


From Left, Keiko , Me, Yuriko and Yuuko

I had to tell my Musee experience in 2 parts!! if not this would be a long ass post!!

First up will be the nail extension treatment!

To begin, i was given the choice to choose from extensions or just simple gel over lay. And my choose was just simple gel over lay cause i hate it when my extensions got struck between the keys when i'm typing!!

Next, it's the design i wan for my nails. I was totally overwhelmed by the many designed that are available and Miss Yuuko gave me a little help by introducing me to the "only in Musee Crystal Tokyo" designs!! The power stone nails!!!


Power stone nail designs!

Like the Chinese, Japanese too believe in the magical powers that natural stone such as Jade, Rudy or Tiger eye have. Believing that these stones have the ability to boost that little luck you lag, may it be love, wealth or health.

But, instead of wearing that stone as jewelries, this modern and fashion ladies from Japanese invented the power stone nails. What can be "cool-er" than having your lucky charm on you 24-7!

And my choice of stone is Inca Rose which are knew to have energies such as Love, Power and Healing.

And my Inca Rose powerstone nail is done
*i can be a hand model*

And when you think that i'm done and ready to go, i was told that there is a ongoing promotion, that allows customers of Musee Crystal Tokyo to experience a one time IPL session with any manicure done.

I may not have the hairiest hands you have ever seen, BUT i still wanna try the IPL *its my first time!!*

It's not exactly painless but not the most painful.

I'll rate the pain level... 4/10.

Right, IPL in process


And, i have hair-free hands.

Wait it's still not the end!!

Enjoy Overtime!

Let's go do OverTime shall we??

Everyone in the office stares blank into that "too over excited to work after office hours" face.

Chill man! I'm talking about a new chill out place @Dempsey.

Yes!! Overtime is a new chill out place located at Dempsey Hill!

And for me, nothing beats having freshly brewed beer after a long day at work!


2 pint Starker Aromatic

or if you are like me, a 2 pint beer doesn't make much of a difference, try the 2 Lite Mini Barrel starker! And you would even try knocking the tap into the barrel.


2L Mini Barrel

I'm a hugeeeee fan of alcoholic drinks. *Not that i'm a alcoholic!* I just enjoy drinking and chilling out with my friends.

Anyways, a little introduction to the beer they serve at OverTime. The name is Starker, brewed with malted barley, wheat and german hops, it is freshly brewed and delivered on a daily basis for all you beer lovers to enjoy.

Starker comes in 2 different taste. Aromatic and Lager. Aromatic is the lighter version of the starker beers. It's golden yellow in color and has a refreshingly clean after taste. Lager in the other hand is a full bodied beer with a stronger and more distinctive aroma.

And with good beer, how can we not have good food!!!

Of course, OverTime serves a wide range of food. Ranging from Pork Knuckle to Asian fried rice and Satay!


The Menu!

Here are the food that i've tried on Food tasting day. Did not had much cause my body was on a hunger strike *sadface* but i might to try some pork from the platters, some veg from the salad and some delicious deep fried beancurd.

Here are the three different platters served in Overtime:





Most of the food, or should i say MEAT are pork. Why??? coz Germans loves beer with pork! From roasted pork to stewed pork. u name it they have it!

Next, salad!

And you would expecting GREEN garden salad with the boring old thousand island sauce *ok they do have tat* BUT in Overtime, they serve what i call the "exotic" salad.


Left, Asian Salad.
Right, Calamari Scampi.

Yes, Exotic salads that uses Freshly squeezed lime, Asian or thai chilli sauce as dressing. Not exotic enough?? Check out the ingredients in the 2 different salads that were served.

Asian Salad: simmered pork, young mango, onion rings, minced fresh garlic, chili padi and fresh squeezed lime juice with Asian dressing

Calamari Scampi: lemon grass, kaffir lime leaves, chili padi, onion rings and fresh squeezed lime juice, with Thai chili sauce.

Sweet, Sour,Spicy and Slight bitter-ness from the beer all at one go... Exotic enough yet?

And finally!! my favorite of the night!!! Homemade Style Prawn Cracker! The prawn cracker is not completely hard and crispy instead it's almost soft and chewy. And accompanied with Deep Fried Beancurd which is totally crispy on the outside and soft in the inside, fresh cucumber and Thai chili sauce. This dish is one that you can not miss out!


Homemade Style Prawn Cracker

Apart from all this food that i've mention, OverTime serves a whole range of main course too. Do check out their Menu. And, their facebook fan page for exciting promotions!

OverTime is now opened at Dempsey Hill.
