[Review] Biore Micellar Cleansing Water
Friday, October 10, 2014

Finally updating my review for the latest skin-care product that I have received from the lovely team at SAMPLE STORE

Biore has always been constantly launching new products that never fails to amaze me! This time, they have developed an even better product than the previous series!! 

Biore Micellar Cleansing Water $18.90/300ml




What is so good about this newest make-up remover? 
It is actually super lightweight and refreshing and it lifts of more makeup in one wipe!
After one-time usage, my skin actually feels clean and refreshed with no sticky after-feel
Also, this product contains a watery micellar technology that effectively dissolves and lifts of all makeup including mascara and eyeliner. (I kid you not!) It is made up of natural mineral water from the Northern Japanese Alps (Wow!!) for a gentle and soothing formula.

All of us should know how collagen actually improves our skin's elasticity right? This product has enriched collagen and white tea extract for brighter, softer and suppler skin. It's anti-bacterial formula helps prevent pimples and breakouts, and minimizes pores for a clearer and more refined complexion!

Don't worry that it will not suit your skin because it is suitable for all skin types, even sensitive skin like MINE!



It is also very simple to use! Us ladies should know how frustrating it is to remove our make up after work and it is even more frustrating when we need to remove it several times with many sheets of cotton! However, with Biore Micellar Cleansing Water, one wipe would just do the trick!

Here are the simple instructions to follow:
(1)Pump an appropriate amount onto a cotton pad
(2)Use soaked cotton pad to gently wipe of makeup
(3) No rinsing required
(4) For eye makeup, place soaked cotton pad onto closed eyes and hold for 5 seconds before gently wiping it off.
(5) Repeat until all makeup is removed, and cotton pad is clean (Actually you can skip this step cause I managed to remove all make up with just 1 swipe!)

Me, with my made-up face after a tiring day at work...

Just few pumps!
 1/2 of my face is cleansed!



The whole cotton is soaked up with my make-up! 

You know how sometimes we get home from work and want to head off to somewhere else again? My habit is to remove all make-up and re-apply all make-up again because I don't want my pores to be clogged up for that long with so much oil and dirt.

I can now remove my make-up easily, swiftly and steadily with no hesitation! 

Thank you Biore!
Get yours now at all pharmacies, hypermarkets and supermarkets, and major departmental stores!!

Bio-essence Aqua Droplet Sleeping Beauty Mask - Wake up moisturized!
Thursday, August 28, 2014

The lovely people at The Sample Store has yet again sent me more Bio-essence products! This time. this product is one that no one should miss!

WHY? 

Simple! This product requires little effort to apply and you don't even have to wash it off! How can anyone resist a beauty sleeping mask that requires such a minimal effort?

 It's at an attractive price of $33.90 for an 80g tub! You actually need to use a very minimal amount every day. How affordable is that?



The product consists of Bio Aqua Crystals!
- What is it?

This unique formulation is enriched with 2 types of Hyaluronic acid (Power Nano Hyaluronic Acid & Hyaluronic Acid), Cranberry Extract & Bio Energy Fluid, which not only provides long lasting hydration but also protects skin from environmental factors. This mask replenishes moisture level, nourishes and repairs your skin non-stop while you sleep. Upon application, hydrating ingredients magically transforms into big aqua droplets which are rapidly absorbed to constantly replenish and lock in moisture. 
This lightweight formula wraps the skin with a comfortable hydrating protective layer without leaving a greasy and sticky feel. Say goodbye to dull and tired skin for a smooth, radiant and supple skin the next morning

Tri-Action (Hydrate, Nourish, Protect) - 3 IN 1!!!



Who doesn't want soft, supple and moisturized skin? 

Bio-essence Aqua Droplet Sleeping Beauty Mask is made with unique Bio Aqua Crystal Technology. This technology forms a protective shield over the hydrating ingredients to prevent moisture loss before application. Upon application, this shield breaks away and big aqua droplets are formed. This ensures our skin gets hydrated with the freshest and most optimal amount of hydrating activity. The big aqua droplets are made up of superior hydrating ingredients of small molecular sizes which allows moisture and nutrients to be easily delivered to the deepest layers of skin, while the protective emollient film remains on the skin to lock in moisture for non-stop hydration.


 Our gateway to moisturized skin when we wake up every day!

We all know these common skin problems are hard to deal with but now, ONE product can simply ease your problems!


It is so easy and fun! Look at the aqua droplets forming! It takes only 1 second for this moisturizing droplets to appear!


Now, I can go to sleep happy because I know that I will wake up with such moisturized skin. 

Here are the reasons why I love this range!!! 

(1) It is not sticky AT ALL! You know how some sleeping masks makes your face feel super sticky and oily and you just cannot get to sleep because you can feel it on your face.

(2) The hydration level of this mask is superb! Just look at the aqua droplet that were formed upon application! Ninja level of hydration!!

(3) The Bio Aqua Crystal Technology is really interesting because it feels so magical when you perform the application. It INSTANTLY moisturizes and just feels like how plants are being watered! 

(4) It has a slight sweet fragrance which in turn enhances our relaxed mood for slumber!

(5) And I really like the colour of the tub! Blue is so calming!


The best thing is that is not ONLY a sleeping mask but you can use it as a daily moisturizer everyday!

Now you can own one of this too!!!

Bio-essence Tanaka White - For a fairer and more beautiful skin!
Tuesday, July 29, 2014


I am hyperventilating while writing this post because THE SAMPLE STORE has yet again sent me a SUPER DUPER amazing product from one of the biggest brands in Singapore!

Judging from the title, you all would already know that Bio-essence's latest product is one that many of us ladies here yearns for! To be fairer! Although I am already by far a very fair person, my face actually has a lot of dark spots, acne scars and uneven colouring and it is not something you can see from my photos because I put on make up and uses photo editing apps before publicizing them. *not ashamed*

I was sent these 2 items:

Bio-essence Tanaka White 4X Intensive White Serum - $45.80 / 30ml

Bio-essence Tanaka White Double Whitening Day Cream SPF 20 - $29.80 / 50g



What makes this new series so special???

The Bio-essence Tanaka White with 4X (YES, 4X!!!) Intensive White Serum comes with Alpha-Arbutin. Why is Alpha-Arbutin good? It is actually a whitening ingredient that is 9X more powerful the previous Beta-Arbutin!!! (This is typically found in most whitening products in the market)

Who doesn't love improved versions? And what more it is now 9 times better!! What a good deal!

How can this 9x more powerful ingredient actually help? Well, it is specially formulated to better address dark spots and uneven skin tone. (Exactly what I am facing!!!)

It is also super easy to use! Just press the top after you unscrew the cap and voila, you can now apply!


I have never tried a product that is so surreal! The effects actually appears within 4 days but I tried it for a week before posting this up! 

As for the Bio-essence Tanaka White Double Whitening Day Cream, it is an extra boost for my skin! It comes with SPF20! And don't we all just love skincare that comes with SPF? We love our skin that much but we also love the sun sometimes =( So products like these to the rescue!!!

It comes with Tanaka Extract so this ingredient in this product actually shields our skin from external pollutants and also keeps our skin cool and moisturized under the hot weather! I use it as a make-up base and my skin feels super supple even after a long day outside!


Most importantly, both products helps to moisturize and to lighten pigmentation and spots! Say hello to not only FAIR but FLAWLESS skin that glows from within!!!



Let me sidetrack a little...
Do you all know how the name Tanaka originated?

Tanaka (also known as Thanakha) has a rich history in Myanmar. It is a traditional whitening secret adored by females in Myanmar for more than 2000 years. It is used in daily life, as well as in ceremonies where face paintings bear cultural significance of nobility and purity.

The Tree: Tanaka is a perennial tree that grows in the lush forests of central Myanmar. It is slow growing and must be at least 35 years old to be mature enough to yield premium Tanaka. The cultural and practical practice of applying Tanaka on the skin is so deeply rooted in Myanmar that it stood the test of time through thousands of years. It is most widely used to cool and refresh the skin while protecting it from the sun the natural way. 

Tanaka means both "cosmetic for beautifying the face" and "cleansing agent". It is 
recognized as a great aid to help withstand the heat of the sun and is thus an ideal cosmetic for those who have to work under direct sunlight. Women who work outdoor apply thick layers of Tanaka as a sunscreen to prevent sun-burn while its natural cooling properties help them tolerate the intense heat during the day. 

With such a long history way back, how to not trust such a great product???

Just look at me after a week's usage!! Such brighter and moisturized skin!!!

Our eyes are the strongest through this whole World Cup saga and I feel so bad for making it so tired! For this whole month I have been juggling work + school + blogging and all this is only possible because my eyes don't give in to fatigue!!

I AM SORRY MY BEAUTIFUL EYES!

Some of the common city dwellers’ problems includes stiff shoulders, back pain, tired eyes and insomnia.
MegRhythm Steam Eye Mask is a big hit in both Japan and Hong Kong where our city lives are all super tight and busy!!!

This mask is something really extraordinary because it heats up IMMEDIATELY after you open it up. How miraculous is that?

The mask will warm up to 40 degrees the moment you open it up and yes, you think that 40 degrees is crazily hot but no, it's like a super steamy sauna for your eyes!

Majolica Majorca Lash King and Perfect Automatic Liner!
Friday, July 04, 2014

Hi guys! Sorry for the disappearance and I know that you know that a lot has been going on in my life and I am finally back to do a product review on the most awesome eye make up EVER!!!!! 

Lovely people from SAMPLE STORE has sent me loads of products to review and I still have many parcels awaiting for me to try them on! Super excited, grateful and blessed to be one of them!




Majolica Majorca Lash King $25.90

This mascara is seriously AMAZING. I have had used SO MANY mascaras in my life and I dare say that this is really awesome. 

Why? 

- It blends the eyelashes really quickly and easily.
- It does not clump up after applying and this is one thing that a lot of mascaras CANNOT achieve. 
- It is smudge-proof because I always subconsciously rubs my eye during the day and it did not for once came off.
-BUT... It is easily removable with make-up remover! I used to blacken my whole eye area after removing my make up so this product really is wonderful and it does not harm my eyes at all! 

I am not a fan of fake eye-lashes(actually I am a noob when it comes to putting them on lah) so I really need mascaras to enhance and brighten up my eyes for work, a date or just some fun!

This is me before trying out both the products. I look cheerful but my eyes looks tired and there is no sparkle at all!


This mascara contains 5mm super long fibers so it not only allows you to achieve maximum length, but also maximum volume and fullness with just a single coat. This waterproof formula is also very resistant to sweat, sebum and tears.
It is also formulated with creamy wax and an increased amount of volume-increasing powder for superb lash adhesion and a clump-free and smooth finishing touch

What I really adore is that it contains gentle treatment ingredients for your lashes - Macadamia Nuts Oil, Vitamin E Derivative!!


The acrobat catch brush coats the lashes evenly and ensures excellent lash catching and separation effect.


PRETTY LASHES ARE SOOOO easily achievable now! 

Majolica Majorca Perfect Automatic Liner $22.90

Have you all ever used such a pretty eyeliner before? I have always been using boring black and brown eyeliners and sometimes it really gets a bit un-interesting.

Fret not, now you can have PINK eyeliner!!! 


The water-based dial-type eye liner allows you to easily draw fine, delicate lines or thick, bold lines with its felt pen bristles. Entice with a shimmering pearl color on your eye line!
It is formulated with super fix polymer to give clear and long-lasting eye lines, which is very resistant to perspiration, skin oils and tears.


Achieve dewy eyes by drawing on the lower lid or a shimmery effect by drawing on the upper lid. 


Let your eyes shimmer when you give someone a wink! 

With these 2 lovely eye make-up, I don't think anyone can resist looking into your eyes!!


So, what are you waiting for? I have used both products and spent almost 9 hours outdoors but there was no need for me to touch up at all! It lasts THAT long, I swear. 

GET THEM AT ANY WATSONS STORE LIKE NOW!!!!!
