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

Curél Sebum Care - Japan's No.1 Brand!
Monday, August 04, 2014
HI GUYS!
TODAY, I am going to introduce Japan's No.1 Brand to you all and you should really read on if you want bright, smooth and baby skin like mine!
Firstly, do you all know that excess sebum can aggravate skin sensitivity?
A lot of people who have both conditions – skin sensitivity and oily skin tend to place more emphasis on choosing products that help with their skin sensitivity. I have a super oily T-zone but the rest of my face is super dry at times! I always choose a facial cleanser that will help with my oily T-zone but they always end up drying up the rest of my face!!
Hence it is important to choose products that effectively control skin sensitivity while reducing sebum secretion from the source.
Curél, Japan’s No. 1 brand for sensitive Asian skin, introduces a new skincare range specially formulated for sensitive and oily or combination skin types. The Curél Sebum Care range - comprising a Foaming Wash, Lotion and Moisture Gel - ofers the skincare essentials to properly manage both skin sensitivity and sebum secretion.
Thank you to the lovely people at SAMPLESTORE once again for sending this superb product!!!
Just 3 items and you are on your way to smoother and softer skin without ANY excessive sebum!!
Just look at how crazy in love I am with these new skincare products!
Instructions on the product box are all pretty clear as they are in both Japanese and English. Open them, use them and get refreshed looking skin ALMOST immediately! Do take note that the lotion will take slightly a little more time to be absorbed so please gently pat clean hand on face repeatedly for faster absorbency!
Did you know that by religiously using it every day, skin will be kept in matt condition for 8 hours! AMAZING NOT?
And in just 4 weeks time, skin sensitivity and excess sebum will be under control.
TRY IT TO BELIEVE IT!
This is me on the first day of usage! I look really tired and my skin looks dull...
I love transparent bottles because you can actually see what you are using and how much is left so you would know when to stock up again!
Curél Sebum Care Lotion (150ml), $24.90
Non-sticky formula prepares skin for better absorption of moisturiser / essence that is used after the lotion.
Curél Sebum Care Moisture Gel (120ml), $34.90
Liquid based gel spreads easily for speedy absorption into deeper layers of skin without leaving skin sticky.
Look at how thoughtful this product is packaged! I love facial wash products that comes with a pump because you would not have to squeeze them during usage or make a mess when you want to cleanse your face! JUST PUMP AND CLEANSE! Simple as 1,2,3.
And this is me on my 7th day of usage. My skin really looks better with lesser oil and sebum at the T-zone!
Dual function for sensitive and oily skin
1. Strengthen skin barrier function to protect skin against external irritants.
This range protects and replenishes ceramide, an essential component of skin, for a more resilient barrier.
2. Oil and acne control. It also regulates sebum secretion at the source!
Curél Sebum Care Foaming Wash (150ml), $19.80
Ultra fine foam with sebum solvent to thoroughly cleanse dirt and excess sebum while protecting ceramide.
AND TA-DAH!!!
This is me after 14 days of usage! Although you cannot literally touch my skin but just by this photo with ZERO EDIT, you can see that I look more refreshed and my skin definitely feels soooooo much lighter!!!! Less oil secretion is at my T-zone now and I can feel myself getting less annoyed with having to use an oil blotter or a tissue to clear the oil and sebum on my face!
Finding the right product for your skin is very essential because we need good skin(especially on our face) to feel better about ourselves! And I totally understand the agony of people like us who have sensitive skin and are always victims to products that do not suit our skin or even worse, cause it to be inflammed or create breakouts!! Being happy is one thing but having good skin adds on to the happiness and is such a bonus.
Don't you just love it when you are complimented for your flawless skin??
Curél Sebum Care range is available at selected Guardian and Watson’s stores from 16 June. For more information, please visit KAO'S WEBSITE or CUREL SG'S FACEBOOK PAGE ! (Can redeem free samples on their FB page!)

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!
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!!!
Now you can own this gems too!
