SPONSORED REVIEW

If you are having problems with wrinkles and fine lines, read on.

Goodskin Lab is established in 2007 by BeautyBank, the entrepreneurial think tank of the Estee Lauder Companies. They feature the latest advancements in skincare science, dedicated to fighting age concerns of every level. Whether its fine lines and wrinkles, dark under eye circles or loss of skin volume and clarity, the scientists at GoodSkin Labs have researched, developed and tested effective skincare technologies to provide consumers with the solutions that address aging skin’s unique needs.

Photobucket
Tri-Aktiline™ Instant Deep Wrinkle Filler, a targeted deep-wrinkle filler that is clinically proven to fill in the look of fine lines, lift, firm and hydrate instantly, while boosting skin’s natural collagen production over time.

Apply it onto affected areas after cleansing, and let your skin absorb it before applying other products.

Tri-Aktiline™ Instant Deep Wrinkle Filler is lightweight and my skin absorbs it easily. Use it twice daily for best results. I applied it on my laugh lines and I would say they have “filled” up a lot!!

Photobucket
Eyliplex-2 Eye Lift + Circle Reducer, a two-part eye system that addresses eye area concerns, from lifting and tightening to wrinkles, around the clock.

This eye cream is so special! Reminds me of a mega giant contact lens casing! Hahaha…

The white colour tub (Fast Acting Day Gel) is for Day usage. It consist of lightweight green gel which will lift and tighten the sensitive eye area. The blue colour tub (Long-lasting Night Balm) is for use at night. Its a cream colour cream that serves to reduce the appearance of dark circles, boost natural collagen production and restores skin’s firmness.

I tried it on for a week and i saw smoother eye area. According to studies, I should be able to see an improvement in my dark eye rings in 4 weeks and more “lifted” eyes after 8 weeks!!

Photobucket
Smooth-365 Intensive Clarity + Smoothing Peptide Serum, a skin perfecting super serum and anti-aging treatment that offers instant improvement to the overall quality of skin’s texture, while firming and reducing the look of lines over time.

Apply this serum before moisturizer, twice a day for best results.

Love this serum. I always love products that absorbs fast not skin because I won’t have to waste time waiting for its absorption before applying the next product! :)

Photobucket
FilextraTM Facial Revolumizing Treatment with Collagen, an all-over facial moisturizer that helps visibly rebuild youthful volume skin has lost over time.

In place of your moisturizer, use FilextraTM Facial Revolumizing Treatment with Collagen! Aging skin will lose volume and look old and tired and FilextraTM Facial Revolumizing Treatment with Collagen will plump up skin and restore the volume to hollow areas of the face! Amazing! Tried it for one week and I thought that my skin is more supple and hydrated. Apparently, after 8 weeks of usage, I should look visibly younger!! (^^)/

Where can you purchase them? Sasa!!

My New Samantha Vega

Woke up today vomiting and having a terrible migraine attack. Feeling so much better now and decided to do up a little post.

I’ve been using my old wallet for many many years and am too stingy to buy a new one. Wasn’t feeling extremely wonderful last weekend and decided to go on a retail therapy session and I finally got myself a new wallet!

Photobucket
Showed it to my darling Kele but he is not interested in it at all. Hahaha…

Photobucket
Ta-da! Furry leopard prints and pink ribbon. Ultimate combo for me.

Photobucket
So many card slots and a big coin compartment!

Photobucket
New love!

Got it at Samantha Vega at Wisma’s Isetan for $212… I think its $212 or $229… I can’t remember already… I was happily signing away… oops. :(

Enavose… FloraComfort Micellar Cleansing Water

SPONSORED REVIEW

Enavose is a brand from Switzerland ,committed to being natural and eco-friendly, was launched in Singapore last year and has since gotten many awards!

Photobucket

Today I’m going to review their FloraComfort Micellar Cleansing Water!

Photobucket
Enavose is really sweet. It came in such a beautiful packaging that I really didn’t want to open it!

Photobucket
So personalized!!

Photobucket
The whole package smelled so heavenly with the dried flowers… So lovely!

Photobucket
And in the package is Enavose FloraComfort Micellar Cleansing Water and a little pack of cotton pad…

FloraComfort Micellar Cleansing Water

- 1 minute express cleansing that removes makeup, dirt and impurities in one swipe
- No rinsing required
- Gentle, quick and effective cleansing with Micellar Technology (A micelle is a type of molecule cluster. When applied to skin, the micelle spheres split open,capture dirt on skin like magnets, and closes up again.)
- Encapsulated Swiss glacial water nourishes skin with purity and hydration
- Use on face, eyes and lips
- Leaves skin thoroughly clean, fresh, revitalized, and ready for serum and moisturizer.

Photobucket

Benefits for the skin:

- Gentle, non-abrasive cleaning method that does not strip skin of its moisture and natural oils.
- High tolerance formula is suitable for even the most sensitive skin
- No post soap squeaky, tight and uncomfortable feeling after cleansing
- Oil free and does not leave any greasy after-feel, no product build-up
- Hydrates and replenishes moisture
- High antioxidant to prevent premature aging
- Fragrance free, alcohol free and oil free

Photobucket
My bottle of Enavose!

Photobucket
Comes with a pump dispenser.
My favorite kind of dispenser and it is convenient and hygienic.

Photobucket
Top: Water-proof eyeliner
Bottom: Favourite dark red lipstick

Photobucket
Pump sufficient amount of FloraComfort Micellar Cleansing Water onto a cotton pad. Press it on the makeup gently and wipe them off after a few seconds.

Photobucket
Everything was off in a while! :)

It’s really fast and convenient and keeps my skin clean! Thumbs up! It’s definitely going to replace my usual makeup wipes that contains alcohol and that are harsher on the skin. Its going to be wonderful for on-the-go cleansing like going out after work, before putting on a fresh coat of makeup! Absolutely convenient! Its recommended for a quick (yet effective) cleansing after a night out partying and you are too tired to clean up (oops!)! And of course, after sports and photo shoots! :)

Photobucket
I also love the fact that it doesn’t leave your skin feeling oily after cleansing like most products with similar purpose. I feel clean and fresh, instead of oily and sticky.

Where to get Enavose FloraComfort Micellar Cleansing Water?

Photobucket

It’s now priced at $29 instead of the usual $49! Grab it fast! (^_^)/

In addition, there’s also a Facebook Contest for you!

Yesterday’s Photo Shoot @ MBS

Got feedback that I should have more personal posts on my blog… Hahaha… I know… I will add in more… I got lots of them that I wanted to post but recently got quite some backlogs ( Cos my Macbook died on me remember? Hahaha… ) on my ads and sponsored posts so there’s less personal ones. Heh! Here’s one!

Went for a photo shoot today at MBS with the Lloola crew! Always happy to meet the boss and the photographers! They are super kawaii! I super enjoy teasing the 2 photographers… Muahaha…

Photobucket
Boss is very nice. Always pick me up from my place whenever there are shoots!

I was too busy taking photographs so I didn’t take any photos while doing the shoot proper. See? I’m so professional. Wahahaha….

While we were taking the outdoor shoot, it started pouring heavily all of a sudden! we ran all the way back to shelter. So i can confirm with you, Lloola shoes are really sturdy. Run in the killer heels, and its still looking pretty.

Btw, Lloola has already launched 2 collections of their pretty shoes. I’ll post some photos I got from boss from their second collection soon! Do pop over to do some retail therapy! :)

The shoot was delayed by the rain and it took longer than usual today. Was super tired! I was sitting with Kele and resting at home after that, and I kept getting cramps in my leg. :(

Photobucket
Suans uploading the photos to the comp for boss to see.
Lady boss is too shy to be seen here… So I’ll help her cover her face with pretty hearts. :)

Photobucket
The wonderful and patient and kawaii photographer, Kat!!!

Photobucket
Guess who’s who?
Match the names to the shoes! Suans, Kat, Boss, Me! Rearrange!

Photobucket
Suans! He looks happy. I think its because the long shoot has ended… Wahaha…

Photobucket
Boss and me!

Photobucket
Boss’s dinner treat! Yums! I wanted to get my high tea set but it was past 6pm and there’s no more high tea! Settled for some risotto and scones with Earl Grey tea.

Photobucket
She’s hot. But she doesn’t allow me to show her face. Hahaha…

Photobucket
I asked Boss to take a photo for me. But she thinks that I’ll do a better job when I do it myself.
After comparing the photo she took and the photo I took, I think she’s right. Camwhore queen.

A tiring day but had lots of fun with Boss, Kat and Suans! :)

Kiyora’s Cath Kidston inspired nails. It’s super pretty! It looks so impossible to be hand drawn, but it is! I like the green and pink combination a lot!

Photobucket
Aini finished the nail design with 2 3D pink ribbons and blings on the white colored nails. I think Kiyora loves it lots!

Photobucket

Vivian trying out some products!

Photobucket
Guerlain invited Her World’s fashion editor to give us tips on how to wear pearls and still look fashionable.
Learning point: Do not be predictable. Wearing pearls with a gown or dress is predictable and makes one looks older and dated. Trying wearing pearls with something casual, like a plain tee and jeans. :)

Photobucket
Their famous product!
Now it comes in white balls too, under the Blanc De Perle range, to help the skin appear radiant!

Photobucket
Saw my favorite lipgloss on the display rack, I’ve been using it for years. Love it!

Vivian and I at the event!

My detailed review for the Guerlain Blanc De Perle Pearl Drop Whitening Essence will be up soon. All I can say now is that it works really well! :)

Neogence Ace Revitalizing and Brightening Series (Part 2)

I finally managed to set up mu new MacBook Pro and installed all the necessary softwares and now I can start posting again. I’m back with Part 2 of my post for the Neogence Ace series skin care ( See my review on Neogence Ace Renewal and Repairing Mask ). After reviewing the mask, I’m going to review 4 other products — Neogence Ace Revitalizing Lotion, Ace Liposome Renewal Whitening Serum, Ace Revitalizing Hydrating Fluid and Ace Revitalizing Eye Serum.

Photobucket

“Neogence clinical trials proved that, oily and combination skins do not obviously reveal signs of aging such as roughness , dullness, dark spots, loss of skin firmness, yet, at the same time, this particular type of skin is having poor essence absorption in skincare products, this creates a vicious cycle for other skin problems for them.

Because of the slow metabolism for this skin type, making the structure of epidermal cells irregular and disorganized and in return the excess sebum secretion make the old and dead skin cells stick up on the skin surface, leading to the poor absorption ability. If no remedial action is taken, even thousands bottles of precious skincare products are being used, the result of anti-aging protection would be limited.”

And Neogence ACE Revitalizing and Brightening Series are suitable for combination and oily skin to restructure and renew the skin. Skin absorption is proven by clinical trials to be 300% better after using it! :)

Neogence Ace Revitalizing Lotion

Photobucket
Neogence Ace Revitalizing Lotion

Photobucket

- Vitamin A+C+E will at the same time renew, brighten, and combat aging
- Ellagic acid + Chamomile effectively represses melanin processes, brightening skin tone
- Hydrates, conditions skin texture, and effectively enhances absorption of active ingredients

Neogence Ace Revitalizing Lotion is very light as it has a watery texture. Pat it lightly onto your skin to prep your skin for other Neogence Ace products. Its absorbed quickly into the skin and feels refreshing, but not oily. Perfect for oily or combination skin. :)

Neogence Ace Liposome Renewal Whitening Serum

Photobucket
Neogence Ace Liposome Renewal Whitening Serum

Photobucket

- Vitamin A+C+E will at the same time renew, brighten, and combat aging
- High concentrate vitamin A rejuvenate skin cell, refine pores, and increase skin elasticity
- Vitamin C brighten and firm your skin
- Liposome® coated conduct technology enhances ingredients penetration.

Neogence Ace Liposome Renewal Whitening Serum, like its lotion, also has a watery texture, although just a little heavier than the lotion. Apply it after your skin has absorbed the lotion and gently massage it in. It is easy to spread and my skin absorbed the serum really fast.

Neogence Ace Revitalizing Hydrating Fluid

Photobucket
Neogence Ace Revitalizing Hydrating Fluid

Photobucket

- Vitamin A+C+E will at the same time renew, brighten, and combat aging
- Peptide wrinkle-smoothing factor Matrixyl™3000 effectively smoothes wrinkles
- Natural olive extract is refreshing, moisturizing, and easy to absorb

I would expect it to be called a cream but its actually called hydrating fluid! I always think that fluid will come in a bottle, like a lotion form. When I touched the “cream”, it came as a surprise. It’s texture is really super light and spreads like a fluid on my face. Needless to say, like the above two, because of its light texture, it was easily spread and quickly absorbed. Use it after the serum.

Review of the 3 products above: I love how it’s able to keep my skin oil-free and matte for the whole day, yet keeping it hydrated, with brightening and anti-aging effects. I rarely wear makeup on weekdays and its a breeze to use the Neogence Ace series. Just slap on my face and neck for all the protection and treatment I need! :) Love it!

And last but not least…..

Neogence Ace Revitalizing Eye Serum

Photobucket
Neogence Ace Revitalizing Eye Serum

Photobucket

- 2% high concentrate vitamin A increases elasticity and improves firmness around the eye area
- Patent peptide wrinkle-smoothing factor Matrixyl™3000 effectively reduce wrinkles
- Eye-area brightening factor Biophytex® lighten dark eye circles.
- Vitamin A+C+E energize the eye-area all around

Use it as the last step of your skin care and remember never to skip the eye cream ya! I was exceptionally happy to see that this eye serum can improve eye area firmness and reduce wrinkles. Most importantly, reduce dark eye circles. No matter how much I sleep, my dark eye rings never goes away and I kinda confirmed that I was born with them, haha. I’ve been using the eye serum for about 2 weeks and I’m glad to see improvement in wrinkles and fine lines! My dark eye rings are still there, but I guess it will never go away so easily since mine is so permanent… haha… What’s more, I’ve got sinus problem, and it aggravates my dark eye rings even more. ;p
