[FREE GIVEAWAY] Keep Calm & Take A Bath With Shea

I can't tell you how much I love scents.
I can't tell you how much I love it when my room smells awesomely good.

I've got a sensitive nose since young.
When a food smells bad or something in the room smells wrong, I can tell it right away. I feel satisfied when I can distinguish different scents without looking at a product.

A lot of times I choose to sit in the outdoor areas of a foodcourt because I don't want my hair to end up smelling like cooked food which I can tell right away.It is essential that I use anti-odor foot sprays & deodorants.

I'm obsessed.

When it comes to scents, I like fruity-smells. I know some of you reading my post right now prefer floral scents. Doesn't matter as long we love smelling nice. *smiles*

But whether it's the fruity or floral scent, I can't tell you how thankful I am when Shea entered my life and got just the scents I love!

Shea is one of the proud sponsors of Mint Showcase II.

For all attending guests of Mint Showcase II, Shea has prepared special Mint Choc Chip-flavoured body shower butter for everyone! On top of that, they got us a beautiful lemon meringue delight cake (which is actually made up of 16 slices of soap) for MintShow2 cut-cutting ceremony.

Thank you shea & introducing me to your lovely bodycare products!

I visited shea located at Level B2 of Orchard Central.
Doesn't shea look like a pretty bakery rather than a shop filled with bodycare products?
Be greeted by the wonderful fragrance which greets you as you enter.

Shea products are:

  • Handmade
  • Never tested on animals
  • Made of selected natural ingredients like shea butter & pure honey
So friends with eczema & sensitive skin like me, we are saved!

IMG_7705

Their bodycare products range from scrubs, lotions, soap bombs, cake soaps to scented candles, essential oils and more! On my first visit, I stayed more than an hour in the shop!

You're Gorgeous are cold processed log soaps for very sensitive skin.
From Wales, these pure cold press handmade soaps are made from fine plant oil & extracts & decorated with dried flowers & botanicals.

Bomb Cosmetics are products of England.

They have more than 100 products in the range: super scented bars, ice-cream tub shower gels & scrubs, creamy body butter...

The scented soap bars from Bomb Cosmetics are classified according to their benefits, essential oils & fragrance.

The soap bars are colourful, so pretty!
So many flavours, which one is most suitable for me?!
Well, you may try choosing your soap bar here first.

Bomb Cosmetic Care products are my favourites!

IMG_7675

Here are the products I have at home:
Raspberry Bloom cleansing shower scrub,
orange fruit-smelling shower gel,
Vanilla-scent Indulgent body butter &
Big Softee body lotion with a sandalwood scent~

IMG_6780

This my favourite scrub: Pink Marmalade.
It's a soft scrub which smells like passionfruit & lemongrass

The best thing is at the end of the day, it leaves your shower room with a long-lasting pink marmalade scent too!

Accessories from shea equally surprised me.
I thought that herbal healers are the coolest pillows ever!

Filled with lavender leaves & other natural botanicals, leave the herbal healer in the microwave oven for a few minutes and use it to soothe your aching muscles.

I have to tell you about their cutest and beautiful looking soap bombs!
The look edible but in fact, they are for your bath tubs.

Scented bomb plasters will sizzle in your bath tubs.

Last but not least, I'm using scented candles from shea!
Everyone of it smells SOOOOOOO gooooood~

IMG_7698

IMG_7699

IMG_7704

This is currently burning in my room as I'm writing.
A subtle meadow smell, mmmm.....

IMG_7640

Although it is said that the candles can last up to 38 hours of burning, the Springtime Candle is on my table for the past 2 weeks already. I'd lit it for a few hours everyday & the room smells great all day!

Works in both fan & air-conditioned rooms.
In my opinion, this scent is suitable for in both a guy's & a girl's bedroom!

Aww man.. I really wish you can smell from your screen right now how fragrant shea products are.
PLEASE go visit their shop at Orchard Central and sounds wrong but, go SMELL them!

  • The lyrics of the originals have been revised/

  • There are going to be special guests performers this year. Read on to find out who!
  • There's going to be an EMCEE!
  • MUCH BETTER DOOR GIFTS: During Mint Showcase 1 in 2011, everyone was given a complimentary drink, a limited edition Mint Bear & a rocher flower.  For Mint Showcase 2, all attending guests will be given a complimentary drink, limited edition MintShow2 badge, S$150 worth of goodie bag & more lucky draw prizes to be won!


All for the price of just S$25.



I've just recovered from high fever which lasted almost a week since last Friday. 
病到不清不楚.

However it's not going to dampen my high spirits for the showcase. 
I'm still exhilarated and I'm not going to let the 5-month long preparations goes to waste!

So please come and watch the performance,
Everyone of us have put in our very best effort to make this happen; From the responsible crew, to the supporting guests, to the band, to the generous sponsors and even the guest performers.

And now may I present, 
Our 2 beautiful Special Guest Performers for Mint Showcase II




Ruth Wei Miao Ru
She's only 22  years old but already a popular local musician who has taken part and won numerous awards in local singing competitions and most recently represented Singapore at the Million Star 华人星光大道 Season Two '12.  Apart from competitions, Miao Ru has been a seasoned demo singer for prominent artistes like JJ Lin, Joi Chua etc. Her recognizable voice can also be heard over local airwaves for radio jingles and theme songs. 
Miao Ru’s future exudes promise and exciting times ahead."





















Silver Ang

First introduced into the scene in Project Superstar 2005, She has evolved from a chubby young ignorant girl into a pretty well-travelled lady. Never one to give up on her dreams, she still seeks to actively improve herself and her singing. It's been years since she actually sang on stage in a real performance, so do keep your ears tuned as she makes a special guest appearance in Mint's live showcase!



Silver Ang will be performing 3 cover songs & there will be a special video prepared by Miaoru for all of you!

Do you know that LIVE music always sounds different from recorded music because of the equipments used for recording? That's why it's always 'high' to watch concerts & real live performances than watching them on TV!


You HAVE TO come and watch this, LIVE to feel the vibes!

The Photoshoot



Months before the showcase and even before the poster could even be made, the band and I did a photoshoot with Metamorphosis Productions. Bryan, our photographer, insisted his name not to be mentioned & credited but I truly felt that I have to give credits to such a humble and dedicated person.

Our photos were collected in just 3 days and I'm extremely pleased with the photographs and most of all, his professional services!

We completed our photoshoot in less than 1.5hrs at the back alley and balcony of All About Eve Bar.
Very fast for a photoshoot I'd say!

It's amazing how he can turn a construction site with white boards 7 holes on the wall into a beautiful background.

So the band and I decide to use his photographs for all our media release!

Thank you so much Bryan!


Pampering myself with SHEA.


I need to smell nice, my skin needs to be in tip top condition for the upcoming Showcase.
I've been using products from SHEA for awhile now.

Don't they look like ice-cream tubs? :)
They have other products which look like cakes, candies & even agar-agar!

*Falling in love*

IMG_6780

I'm so in love with their Pink Marmalade body scrub that it's sitting right in my bathroom so that I can use it twice a week to pamper myself! Everytime after I use it I will smell like passionfruit~

IMG_6781

IMG_6782

SHEA has a wide range of skin products from shower gels, to body lotions & other handmade skin products that are made of *selected natural  ingredients & they are vegetarian, meaning these products are not made from animals nor tested by them!

*Selected natural ingredients: shea butter, the finest essential oils, fresh goats milk and pure honey are used.
