My goal

Many people have started coming up to me noticing a great change in me. Working towards a big goal is a challenge but you are like me waking up daily excited to discover and passing it on to others who hasnt got a chance to receive such goodness, it is to be a mission.

The goal to be a National sales director is not a title, it is a journey that shows the many people I have help create success and am part of their stories. I may not be an individual that reads the bible daily or speak of god. But I am a believer of my faith and that he will only put me in a place where my god given abilities and talents are made to good use. 

This is my give back for all the blessings that has come my way.  Learn to give only when you get to receive. Send me the blessings to constantly have the strength and positivity daily. Thank you

Flolookbook- New Year New makeup looks

Think this year I am going to attempt to blog some looks, I do this everyday anyway, so why don't I just blog it down!!! 

So I have been noticing the trend of makeup of the young- er- est lately.  I don'y usually agree on their trends much but this time, I kinda like it a lot. So I attempted the look casually and it turned out pretty cute, don't you think? 

STAINED LIPS: I do quite like the stained lips look, although some put too much concealer on the lips! eh not quite keen on eating it. (blog credit: http://lifeasart215.blogspot.sg/2013/01/review-tony-moly-lip-tint-minis.html)

UNDEREYE BLUSH : Then the other thing worth mentioning is the blusher, the cutesy way of apply it. We used to put at the apples, if not just skip it. But now, its just under the eyes! (blog credit : http://memila.blogspot.sg/2013/06/undereye-blush.html)

So I attempted it today and viola!!! I must say I do look younger!! I need to redo my eyes to attempt the kawaii look but I like my Chinese slit eyes lei and after spending so much on lasik, its pretty silly to wear the big eye contacts right? Never mind I will the look try out without and see the outcome!

Here is me doing a quick 10 mins look, I really did a quick one coz its 1st day of school! Will try a more detailed one to refine some flaws :o!!

Skin: 

Start by applying a Mary Kay foundation Primer  to create a moisturised canvas, minimised pores and lasting makeup. If you have oily complexion, apply a Mary Kay Oil Mattifier. 

Eyes:

Apply Mary Kay Black Pearl at the side to lengthen, and lower lash. Follow by a subtle application of Mary Kay Gold Coast to enhance lower lash and corner of eyes. Follow by Mary Kay Love Lash both top and bottom. 

Cheeks
Apply blusher, I used Mary Kay Sheer Dimension Ribbon to the under eyes. Highlight undereye, nose bridge with Mary Kay Facial Highlighter 

Lips
Apply Mary Kay True Dimension - Wild about Pink to lips and create the stained lips effect.

Tell us about yourself. What prompted you to start your own little biz? 

I once had a dream, on my 21^st birthday, cut my cake in Seoul and wished that at 30 years old, I will be happily married with children and didn’t have to work.

 

I started working since I was 14 years old - holiday jobs and part time. At 18 years young, I started flying while everyone else was studying and enjoying their childhood. I grew up quick and I believe missed a good 5 years of young adult years in terms of thoughts. I quickly catapulted into adulthood and always thought all I needed was to pass my 20’s and 30’s will be bliss.

 

It all happened, I got what I wished for. Pregnancy made me stopped work at 30 and had Victoria. It was an amazing journey and having Victoria was the turning point in my life. She was a high need baby - I learned so much from her, read so much about her. We started to be a team and amongst all adversity I became stronger and started to see things from a different perspective.

 

At about this time in my life, they say that “Each Day of our lives, we make deposits in the memory banks of our children” and that “Children are educated by what the grown up is and not by his talk”. I started to search for a dream, my dream that has been long forgotten. I long to give back to the society something like doing volunteer work, it has always been an innate desire but like what my husband says “Doing this doesn’t pay you”

 

I stumbled upon Mary Kay by attending one of their classes, the values of the company was what I wanted- “God 1^st , Family 2^nd, Career 3^rd” it was just calling me to do this. I tried their products and the result on me was amazing, my confidence level went up a notch. It was from their constant training, I found my self worth.

 

I took a plunge and started to do the biz and that was 3 years ago.

 

Tell us about your little business.

 My little independent business (when it started) was just to enrich women, to teach how to use the products/servicing my customers and the results were rewarding. 2 years later, while I was pregnant with my 2nd, I took a plunge and got myself certified as a Style Coach and started my company Style Essence by providing services but exclusively using Mary Kay products.

 

Style Essence is a Singapore based beauty and image company that offers expert services on styling, makeup and skincare. We specialize in Style Coaching, Skincare consultation, grooming, makeup services and workshops. We pride ourselves in our ability to make an impact in our clients’ lifestyle through our workshops and offer creative solutions to individual needs in beauty and styling.

 

Style Essence is my brain child but being a team player, I roped in partners to help with the brand. Interestingly, all of them had the same belief like me. We all are married, have faith that we will be guided to be great role model for our families. With this, Style Essence brought about entrepreneurship to like-minded women like us.

 

Why did you choose this to be your biz?

 I first started using the Mary Kay products and the change in me was amazing. Instead of looking for something to create my dream, why not use an award winning brand that is in their 50^th anniversary this year to start it! I was already a walking billboard!

 

Where did you get your ideas for your brand: biz name, logo, ‘look’ etc?

The brand name came about because of my belief that it’s not only image that is important but also have Style. The best part of being stylish has to come from the essence of an individual! That’s how I came about the brand name – STYLE ESSENCE.

A partner’s husband who helped us professionally created the logo and ‘look’ and we absolutely love it! I may be awesome in what I do but designing on a computer is not my forte, I leave it to the professional.

 

What is the thing about your biz that makes it stand out from the competition?

The Company is based on this “I sincerely believe that all you send into the lives of others does come back into your own. If you give of yourself without thought of financial gain, the financial gain will come” It seems like a long shot, but we know it will attract like-minded people and customers to our company and appreciates that we should just make people beautiful. Our unique selling point is that we personalize workshops/services that we offer according to clients needs. We are not a generic beauty and image company, we offer results that our clients are able to earn and apply in their lives. By knowing our clients needs, we can service them impeccably!

 

What has been the most challenging thing for you so far as you have been building your biz?

The most challenging thing is overcoming rejection and negativity from the people around. With every snap I get, I grow taller and stronger. 3 years down, I am a totally different person from what I used to be. Negativity doesn’t bring me down anymore, I have been at my lowest emotionally and I will never go there again. It’s dark and depressing. 2 years ago, I got dejected and rejected; I struggle with going to want to make people beautiful. That was the time, I wanted to raise the white flag…  but it was also at that time an angel came - My family friend. He saw how I was struggling and gave me some kind words, he said: In this world, there are 2 kinds of people; one a natural sales person- he who can sell anything you asks him to. The other is like you Florinda; the Hardworking one. I swear it was upon his words; I woke up the next day feeling the top of the world because he told me I CAN conquer the world just because I am hardworking.  He has since passed on but I will hold on to his statement to dearly.

 

What aspect of building your little biz do you like working on the most? 

In my biz, I love the mentoring/coaching aspect most. I build on business on allowing the people and customers have the time to have that shift in paradigm of thoughts. It is the most time consuming part but it’s the most gratifying.

 

What is next for you?

I look forward to having more offsprings- both in my business and family. I am back at work after the birth of my 2^nd and it’s going to be an intense period to make this business work. But I have faith that I will rock this industry.

 

What advice do you have for other mums who are thinking of or trying to build their own little biz from home? 

My advice to you is that you need to know your reason. That ‘why’ you are doing this is very important. If you are not clear of it, it will be a struggle and you keep looking for opportunities but not do well in any of them.

 

Disregard what others tell you, if you spend so much time thinking that it will not work, it will not work. Don’t give up when you find it difficult to replace your negative thoughts with positive ones. It takes time and perseverance to getting used to looking at positive thoughts.
