Pretty Rouge – For your korean beauty needs!

maybeline

There are a lot of well known korean brands that are not found in Singapore retail store yet. But don’t worry, cause I am providing you with another solution to get them. Yes, get them locally!

No, no gimmicks, and not preorder either.

And here’s the link: http://www.prettyrouge.com

They have quite a few brands ranging from Innisfree, Luview, VOV, Tony Moly and many others with products ranging from BB Cream, CC Cream (The most IN thing now) to Sleeping Pack and Peeling Gel.

The owner of the web sent me to products to try:
1. Luview Real Skin Primer BB Cream ($26.90)
2: Innisfree Green Barley Gommage Peeling ($32.90)

This Innisfree Green Barley Gommage Peeling is already out of stock!

As the name goes, Green Barley, so what can it do?
It helps to create a clear and smooth skin by removing your skin impurities
and dead cells gently.

It leaves a faint barley scent on the skin as well.

How to use?

Apply a appropriate amount onto towel dried face and smooth over and gently pat for absorption.When the formula is well absorbed and completely dried,gently rub to exfoliate dead skin cells.

It is milky and not what I had expected it to be – clear.


It doesn’t look as thick as you would thought it the picture above. 

Rubbed it till everything is absorbed in by your skin. It will leave a slight tinge of stickiness but it’s normal as it was meant for it to be. How do you peel and rub it off when it’s dry?


I let it absorb for 15 seconds more (even after all the absorption was done) before rubbing it to exfoliate dead skin cells. 
Yes, please do this in the toilet to avoid a mess. Hahaha.
As you rub, your dead skin cells are actually coming off from the skin. Gently rinse it off with water and you can feel smoother skin.

I am expecting to see my skin glow after prolong use.

I will do a review for the BB cream on another entry as I am currently trying to finish my tube of BB Cream before trying this out one.

Etude House – I’m Blooming Skincare

maybeline

What kind of skincare products are you attracted to most?

Price? Packaging? 
Effectiveness? 
Country of origin?

For me it is definitely effectiveness and packaging!

And do you know that Etude house have very nice smelling and pretty packaging products?!

I went “Omg they are so pretty!” when I saw them. I bet you are going to say the same too.

I’ll let the pictures do justice for the brand/products.

First up, they have facial mist of Pure Green Tea, Essential Flower and Canola Honey.

Each mist serves a different function to cater to the different skin type.

Pure Green Tea: Sebum Control Mist
– Hydrates thirsty skin while controling oil and shine, providing soft powdery skin.
– Contains 95.5% of early summer green tea extract that balances out skin’s moisture level for a moist inside with a soft, powdery outside.

Canola Honey: Deep Moisture Mist
– Provides instant hydrating relief to skin, locking in long-lasting vital moisture.
– Contains 81.9% of Honey extract that delivers deep, rich moisture and nourishment to skin.

Essential Flower: Brightening Mist
– Brightens up dull and exhausted skin and smoothes out rough texture, providing a clear, milky-white complexion.
– Contains 93.9% of flower extracts that add brightness to the skin.

All of them smells really really nice and I can’t really decide on which one is my favorite.
If I would have to, I would probably pick Canola Honey which helps in hydrating my dry skin.

Next is the cleansing series which consist of Moisture Cleansing foam, Clear cleansing water and Brightening water gel.

The clear cleansing water contains plant origin surfactant. It is mild (so do not worry about it being harsh or if your skin can’t take it). Though mild, it is effective in removing thick makeup.

And know what? You do not need to rinse it off with additional water. Very convenient right?!

Imagine wiping and washing your whole face with just clear cleansing water and cotton pads.

Time saving. Very convenient for people who always reach home late and is lazy to remove full make up.

Brightening Wash-off Gel contains flower and plant-origin powder. Suitable for daily wash and gently removes dead skin cells, providing smooth, supple skin. As you wash your face, it strengthens the skin’s natural vitability.

Lastly, the Moisture Cleansing Foam gently removes impurities with its fine bubbles, providing full hydration to skin right after cleansing without any signs of dryness and helps maintain fresh, blooming, healthy skin.

Skincare is not the end. It is also important to use fine and soft pads during cleansing.

Thee cotton pads have 5 layers each and made of 100% pure and soft cotton!

I like this I’m Blooming Bubble Peeling Dual Pad because it was two different textured sides that each have its own function.

One side with foam mesh for moist bubble cleansing and other side with microfiber texture for effective exfoliation and peeling.

Shall we embark on this blooming journey together?

Let’s BLOOM away~

Bio-essence Royal Jelly + ATP

maybeline

The thing about features….

We want everything define. The nose, the jaw and everything

And the thing about me?

I don’t have define nose or jaw. Especially the jaw.

I was born with a rather “squarish” face which was inherited from my dear father.

THANK YOU BIO-ESSENCE for sending a set of V-Shaped Facial Contour treatment over!

Bio-essence has innovatively blended Bio Energy Fluid, Bio Mineral Amino Acid Essence and precious natural ingredients such as Gingseng, Aloe Vera and Angelica with the addition of Royal Jelly and ATP to create their latest V Face Series.

First up is the Deep Exfoliating Gel which is to be used after cleansing milk.

It disappeared into “dirt” after some rubbing.
There was no soapy or sticky kind of feel which was quite refreshing.

Exfoliating is good for the skin as it removes the dirt and dead cells on the skin.
Imagine them sticking or ‘living’ on your face! :/

If you have a lot of black/white heads, you can also remove them with Bio-essence Deep Exfoliating Gel 🙂

After Deep exfoliating Gel, wash your face with cleansing foam and apply toner.

Wait for the toner to be absorbed, apply Bio-essence Radiant Youth Essence.

The essence is a clear fluid which leaves no sticky feeling as well.
The skin absorbs well after a few rubbing. As the name goes, Radiant!

Apply it twice a day for even more radiant skin.

Suitable for dry skin as well as it helps in hydration by locking up the water content in the skin.

I have long heard of their Face Lifting Cream. And As for now, I am only applying it to the jaw areas.

Apply it after Youth Essence.

This cream is said to lift facial contours,
firms sagging skin,
reduces double chin,
contracts pores and refines skin,
reduces appearance of ageing lines,
deeply nourishes and moisturizes skin
reduces visible fine lines and wrinkles
shapes V face, enhancing feminine charm

And over 6,000,000 bottles sold!

I could feel that the skin feels firmer after 2 weeks of application.

Please also bear in mind that I am also firming the skin at The SPA-Lon 🙂

All of the products contains Royal Jelly and ATP.

The ATP helps to supply and communicate energy to skin cells like a continuous current, improving micro-circulation effectively to renew and repair skin.

Let’s add Bio-essence to our daily skincare regime? 🙂
