You are currently browsing articles tagged product review.

was invited by rapellez to try out their signature treatment
white wine cell rebirth facial~
after i started working
i have been quite a frequent spa-goer
need to relax and enjoy you know? =P
i have tried at least 5 different brands before
and there is only one i am satisfied with and bought package with
but that is in malaysia!
been still looking for one in singapore
thats why when rapellez invited me
i said yes without hesitating much =)

was a little disappointed when i came out from lift and saw this entrance
looked so uninviting =X
but never judge a book by its cover!


look at this!
the nice reception area after i pushed open the uninviting doors¬
jessie was already waiting for me at the reception


there was also a huge bed at the reception area
looks super cosy and comfortable
too bad didnt get to try!
(cos i was late there was no need for me to wait for anyone =P)
jessie then brought me ard the spa before bringing me to the consultation room
and i must tell u
this is the best decorated spa i have been to!
really makes u feel like tai tai


the dressing area for you to freshen up after spa
they even provide contact lens solution and casing!


a shower room is just beside the dressing table
and i love how the whole spa is decorated with beautiful and elegant victorian style~

i can bring xp here for a couple spa next time in the couple room~ hehe..
but he already booked a spa next week so i will save this for the next time yippie~


this is my favourite part of this spa!
which no other spa offers (not that i know of so far)
a super cozy relaxing corner
they have a lounge for you to hang out for as long as you want
before or after your spa treatment!
there are TV, biscuits, magazines for you while you are chilling..
fantastic idea isnt it??


after the tour around i was brought into this room for consultation


and served with super yummy prune tea~
consutation is necessary as they would wanna offer you the treatment most suitable for your skin
the beauty consultant examined my skin
and explained to me on the process of my treatment
and yay i was suitable for their signature white wine facial~
i was told that the facial is equiped with vitamins a b c and k
(i nv knew there was vitamin k.. swagu)
the facial constantly moisturizes and revitalizes skin
cleanses pores and stabilizes the skin’s ph levels
after which your skin will appear radiant and glow with natural luminosity!

all the decorations and furniture are so pretty
really really love the atmosphere

this is my treatment room
leopard’s print so cute =)


cant help camwhoring with the nice mirror =)

review:

the whole facial experience:
- back acupoint massage is included initially to allow me to relax totally
- aromatherapy
- head massage was super nice~
- shoulder massage was included while i was waiting for my mask to dry~
- free eyebrow shaping~i love it as it was done just as i requested - natural looking, not too thin or arched =)
- extraction was not as painful!
- i like it that the beautician will let me know every single process that she was going to do and explain the functions of each product used
- the only minus point that i had was that the waiting time between the consultation and facial was a tad long for me which i had fed back to jesse and i am sure they have rectified that! (fellow bloggers who went after that had super positive response~)

ambience
- this is really a place that will make me feel like tai tai~hehehe.. its like everything is so elegant and poised

after the facial
- no breakouts or whatsover
- the effect of the facial (radiance and smoothness) lasted for about a week plus almost two weeks

received 3 pieces of dress me facial masks from the sample store:

soften & clarifying
whitening & brightening
revitalising & firming


soften & clarifying

honestly i dun feel much difference on the first use
which i usually would if using other mask
however the next morning when i woke up
my skin was clearer and feels more supple


Dress Me Soften & Clarifying Mask contains Natto that facilitates skin exfoliation, brightens skin, enhances skin’s natural moisturizing capabilities and locks in moisture that will result to soft and supple skin.

whitening & brightening

after using this mask
i dun see any obvious whitening effect
even xp commented that he didnt see much difference
but my skin feels really soft and supple
and the soft and supple effect was more obvious the next morning
however still didnt see much whitening effect


Dress Me Whitening & Brightening Mask contains effective skin whitener, Gigawhite that reduces age spots and inhibits pigmentation and has skin-barrier functions. The mask contains Ginkgo Biloba that increases blood circulation and collagen-boost to slow down skin aging process and
protects skin from free radicals. It has anti-inflammatory, anti-allergenic, anti-bacterial and anti-oxidant properties that whitens the skin and also reduces redness
and skin sensitivity.

as i was told to put up a photo with the mask on
shucks
here it is


one best thing abt the mask is that
it fits perfectly!
and the essence doesnt drip all over

here is another mask which i haven tried
hope the best is always at the last then~

have you already rode on the crazy wave of bb cream?
hehe this gotta be one of my favourite sponsorship from TSS
because its something that i use everyday
BB CREAM~~
and i received bio essence bb cream series in nice packaging like this~


initially i thought they wanna send chinese new year greetings so early
therefore the orange (but how come only one? =X)
you will know what the orange is for soon =P


bio essence bb cream series include:

aqua bb cream for moisture
bio platinum bb cream for whitening
and
bio multi-effect bb cream for coverage!



and i gonna do a review on bio multi-effect bb cream!
this is me with dark circles
all thanks to the late nights =(


and tada!
i just applied on one side
can you tell which side is it?
obvious right!

(k i know my swollen eye bags are also obvious.. boo!)

and yay!
both eye circles got covered~
the radiant me after applying just the bb cream


one of the best coverage bb cream i have tried
the texture seems thick at the beginning
but it is easy to blend
and the colour is just nice =)
the best thing is..
it has got spf 25++ to protect your skin from the harmful UV rays!
and it is not oily
usually i would need to press some powder to set the bb cream
but i am not using any powder here and it stays~


so this is why the orange is in the box~
lets see..

u see those black ’scars’ on the orange skin?
i just applied a very thin layer on top


and even an ORANGE became so evenly toned!


wanna try it out for yourself?

enjoy~

part 2 review of bio essence bb cream
gonna show my bare face again -_-


yeah as usual
terrible terrible dark circle
today i gonna try bio platinum bb cream~

new addition to my stuffed toys
a super duper cute pink care bear
it was a door gift for ladies only at the launch of Se7en!
with the shiny silvery bio platinum bb cream


i applied the bb cream to left half of my face
and the dark circle was concealed!
face appear brighter and more radiant
somehow i feel that bio platinum is more flowy than multi effect
so i prefer this as i find it is easier to spread!


and this is also supposed to be better
as it has 10 in 1 benefits
it helps whitening too~
it contains tanaka extract which is an ingredient to facilitate whitening
platinum is also a rare ingredient to boost the skin’s ability
to protect itself from free radicals


i use bb cream everyday now
(was already using it before i received the samples!)
as it makes my make up procedure so much easier!
traditional foundation requires make up base/primer/concealer/sun block
but bb cream is all in one!
i love bb creams~

goodies from the sample store again~
brought to you this time
ginvera green tea whitening marvel gel~

marvel gel is not something new to me
in fact this is my 3rd ginvera marvel gel!
the difference is that this comes with green tea extract
which is known to be super good for your skin~


let me do an experiment
marvel gel is to be used on dry skin!


rub rub rub
and yucks! look at the dead skin being rubbed away!
i was supposed to take a picture of my face
but i think these dead cells were just too grossed to be seen on face ewwks!


and ta da!
look at the difference~
instant brightening effect and a green tea after-smell
(altho i prefer the older version without the green tea smell)


next i am going to share with you
ginvera jade dark eye circles roll away~


look, really looks like jade!


this is not my first roller eye essence
the first one i bought was from garnier and….
it didnt show much effect and i dumped it at the side!
but i was happy to try another roller eye essence from ginvera again!
as lazy as i was
i seldom did anything to my eyes even tho they are the most delicate area
until, yes, age is catching up
and signs are showing! shhhhhhhhh
anw shouldnt be on this topic HAHA
the next thing i gonna show u is even scarier
MY BARE FACE!

before i started using the product..


omg look at the eye bags and dark circles
all cos of the late nights!!!
and then i continued with the late nights due to work =(
and 1 week later (8 days to be exact)


i know i look slpy cos this was taken when i just woke up!

but but dark circles less obvious isnt it?
i dunno if its just psychological
i know the bags are still there
because late nights never stop =(
but they just seem to be brighter and less puffy hehe

omg this gotta the scariest post of the year!!

psponsored products from the sample store again!
this time are 3 products from eucerin derma purifyer range:

Dermo Purifyer Cleanser (200ml)
Dermo Purifyer Scrub (100ml)
Dermo Purifyer Creme-gel (50ml)

my review:

1. cleanser

actually i find the packaging very similar to hadalabo products that i have reviewed before
simple and professional
just like what we have known about the brand
i like it fragrance free and colourless
and it is soap free!
i think it does a decent job as a cleanser
tho some ppl might not like it that it doesnt foam up that much
to me it is just a cleanser that does its job with nothing much special to rave about

2. scrub

i am a scrub lover and i use it everyday
so i have to find very gentle scrub that is not too harsh for my skin
and this is one of them~
the texture is viscious with micro green exfoliating beads
u can feel it so gentle against ur skin
yet after using it really rids the oil and feel fresh
recommended for everyday’s use
and it smells great too~

3. creme-gel

this is the first time i am using gel-like moisturizer
and i must say i love it!
this is my favourite product out of the three
it really moisturizes the skin
yet it doesnt feel heavy / oily
it matifies your skin and keep it oil free the whole day!
i feel that make up stays better on top of this as well
as it stays matt throughout =)

a picture with my favourite product~

frizzy and unkempt hair like mine?
do u know i even received a comb for my bday before??


my hair has always been one of my biggest problem
and most of the time i just tie them all up like the first pic
cos they are so difficult to manage!


that is why
i agreed immediately when thesamplestore approached me to do a product review on essential
because Kristen has been a fan of essential and she is the hair expert!

i was so surprised how thesamplestore managed to squeeze all these 10 products into a small box =P
and they made my whole office smell so nice
(i got it delivered to my office since i always work late =P there was noone at home when they got delivered there )=


upon receiving these products
i straight away asked kristen for advice!
because i only know abt shampoo and conditioner for hair
when i saw all these, i got stunned =X
they come in two range: orange for damaged hair and pink for airy and bouncy hair~

1. shampoo - just shampoo as usual


2. conditioner - as what i know, its to make ur hair smoother and more manageable
and i use conditioner to untangle my hair after shampoo


3. treatment - this is sth new to me!
to be used after shampoo
used 3-4 times a week
it gives you 2x more moisture and shine!


4. hair mask - super rich for your hair!
kristen advised to use once a week
and conditioner and treatment are not needed when hair mask is used~
just leave it on for 15 mins and rinse off~


5. last but not least - my favourite!
the leave-on hair serum!
pink for anti frizz and orange for nourishing care~

i alternate using the pink and orange one for a week
as i think my hair is seriously damaged
and i do need an anti-frizz serum on my hair
use them on tower-dried hair for best result!
first use a big comb to comb through your hair to untangle
and apply the serum evenly from mid length to the hair end
and avoid the scalp (hair serum shld never be applied on the scalp!)

tada!

i know its not those super shiny hair like what you have seen on the advertisement
but i am so happy for the big improvement on my hair!
i dont have to tie up all my hair to avoid looking messy!
(tying up hair is making me losing my hair! sobs)


my natural curls are easier to manage now bouncy bouncy~
and i love the smell of the serum!
just love anything sweet =)
