My first annuity payout!

Just received a notification from Aviva/SingLife that my first annuity benefit payout will be coming my way soon yay!

I bought this MyLife income plan a few years ago and paid 60K over 3 years. 



From this year onwards - Every year in Aug I will receive around 2.6K+ for the rest of my life and if I decide to surrender my plan, the value of the plan will be worth more than the 60K i put inside previously so sounds like a good deal to me! The amount is not big but hey - baby steps go a long way. I will get there slowly but surely.

This is part of my long term plan to build up my passive income so i can "semi retire" soon by early 50s haha. From the CPF life calculator, I  will receive around 3.5k a month from age 65. For me that it is a modest amount of money which should be sufficient to cover my daily expenses. I'm looking forward to building up my investment portfolio to further help me attain my goal.

GUCCI Beauty Masterclass

Raffles City has recently launched a Beauty Vault pop up on their 3rd floor for the month of June and July featuring a number of luxury brands including Gucci Beauty, Jo Malone, Maision Francis Kurkdjian amongst others.

Under the Raffles Prestige program (all thanks to the amazing Amex Plat card which i always rave about), I managed to sign up for a few masterclasses. The first one I attended was a beauty masterclass led by Gucci Beauty National Makeup Artist, Zoe Ting.


























We got to try out different Gucci Beauty products hands on during the session including their foundation, blush, balm and other products. I loved the pink face brushes which we used and so tempted to get it (free gift if you purchase certain amount and above).

Goodie bag consisted of a few perfume vials from Gucci Flora and lip colour samples.
