Scared to put your hands in the air? Why?

Our under arms usually tends to get darker, bumpy, rough when we shave regularly. This sometimes can cause skin irritation and damage skin. Well here are some of the benefits you can benefit from NIVEA Happy Shave. It's here to help support skin regeneration and reduce irritation after shaving - with Pro-Vitamin B5 & Vitamin C. Receive 48 hour anti-perspirant protection and has gentle NIVEA® care. Skin tolerance dermatologically proven. Happy Shave does not have alcohol, colourants or preservatives.

Some facts on Pro-Vitamin B5

It acts as a skin moisturiser
Helps to keep skin soft, smooth an healthy
It acts as an anti-inflammatory by stimulating your skin's healing processes
Deeply hydrating
Helps to keep skin moist by absorbing moisture from the air

95% Pure Vitamin C - to penetrate deeply to restore and repair

I like NIVEA Happy Shave that unlike the rest of the deodorants I have tried through out my life, this I can say that it's very comforting. It leaves a pleasant scent, that others does not have when after long hours. What's best is that it has Pro-Vitamin B5 and Vitamin C to help replenish my skin, keeps it hydrated and moist after shaving, oh and coming from me who hates to moisturise anything I actually like this! Can't wait to get whiter underarms after 2 weeks. I agreed that this is skincare for my underarms. Definitely recommend friends to get it.

Review: Biore Micellar Cleansing Water [SPONSORED]

Monday, September 29, 2014 / 10:58 AM

I've always like Biore products, I've been using them since my teenage days. Whether it was facial washes or makeup remover wipes.

I hardly use makeup on a daily basis, I prefer my bare skin when I head out of the house. But when I do put it on, it would be simple: Concealer, BB Cream, Matte Foundation, Eye Liner (Brown, Pencil), Blusher. [picture above]

Recently Biore has come out with a new product called 'Biore Micellar Cleansing Water' - $18.90 (300ml).

Biore Micellar Cleansing Water, effectively removes makeup without clogging pores and there isn't a need to wash your face after. It's said to be able to lift off more makeup in 1 wipe and it's also light and refreshing. For those who have skin problems, don't worry it's clinically proven, gentle, alcohol free, frangrance free, oil free, colorant free, allergy and opthalmologist tested and non-comedogenic.

Watery Micellar Technology - Dissolves & lifts off more traces of makeup, including mascara and eyeliner.

Natural Mineral Water from Northern Japanese Alps

Gentle on the skin

Anti-Bacterial FormulaHelps prevent pimples and breakouts, and minimises pores for a clearer, more refined complexion

Enriched Collagen & White Tea Extract

Leaves skin brighter, softer and more supple

Remove stopper from the pump before use.
Pump an appropriate amount onto a cotton pad.
Used soaked cotton pad to gently wipe off makeup.
No rinsing required.
For eye makeup, place soaked cotton pad onto closed eyes and hold for 5 seconds before gently wiping off.
Repeat until all makeup is removed, and cotton pad is clean.

If irritation occurs, discontinue use.
If product gets into your eyes, rinse thoroughly with water.
Keep product away from high temperature and direct sunlight.

Biore Micellar Cleansing Water makes my skin feels clean, refreshed and has no sticky after feel. There isn't a need to rinse my face after usage, but for myself I would prefer to just wash my face after.. it's just my preference. I was quite amazed at how moist my cotton pad was after 2 pumps of the cleansing water. It was such a nice experience to have to know that I didn't have to keep pumping on the same cotton pad.

If you do not have a samplestore.com account, register for one and get yourself a sample of the Biore Micellar Cleansing Water. If not you can purchase this Biore product at all pharmacies, hypermarkets, supermarkets and major departmental stores.

Thank you Biore and samplestore for this opportunity to review this product! (:

Review: NIVEA Body Intensive Moisture Serum [SPONSORED]

Saturday, September 13, 2014 / 6:09 PM

I have always hated lotions/moisturisers/sunblocks you name it. Anything oily, whether it's good for my skin, I will not apply. Unless after application, the product, doesn't have a oily or sticky texture. That's when I see myself applying.

NIVEA Body Intensive Moisture Serum SPF 25++

The first body moisture serum with sun protection for 10 signs of dry and damaged skin:

Flaky
Itchy
Uneven
Scratched
Rough

Cracked
Stressed
Dull
Peeling
Tight

Repairs your dry skin the most efficient and natural way with 100 X* Concentrated Vitamin E and Grape Seed Extract
SPF 25 and PA++ provides you UVA/UVB protection against sun damages.
Extra light and non-sticky serum formula absorbs fast into your skin

When I came back from Brisbane, Australia in August, I came back with dry skin from the cold weather. Just by looking at my skin it looks dry, flaky and dull. So when I tried the Body Intensive Moisture Serum SPF 25++ by NIVEA, I was amazed at the results. Not only do I get softer, smoother and supple skin, I also get protected from the sun! This product is not oily as I thought it would be after applying it to my skin, also repairs my dry & damaged skin within 24 hours.

Did I tell you that it's skin compatibility dermatologically approved, recommended for use during the day as NIVEA Body Intensive Moisture Serum comes with SPF protection.

Squeeze a generous amount on the areas that shows signs of dullness and dryness/ or all over your body after shower.

Rub the NIVEA Body Intensive Moisture Serum SPF25 into your skin

After which you will get your satisfactory results, well I did ^^

Here's how you can get your hands on this wonderful product? It's sold in all leading personal care stores and supermarkets, including Watsons, Guardian, Cold Storage, NTUC Fairprice outlets and major retailers. It cost $8.90 for a tube of 200ml.

Want to win shopping vouchers worth $200 and NIVEA hampers worth $100. Take part in the Instagram contest from 25 August - 30 September 2014, winners will be announced on 1 October 2014.

To participate redeem a FREE sample of NIVEA Body Intensive Moisture Serum (1 x 30ml) from the samplestore.com, you will also receive an A5 brochure with the magnifying glass cut-out.

Review: Bio-essence Hydra Tri-Action Aqua Droplet Sleeping Beauty Mask [Sponsored]

Tuesday, August 19, 2014 / 12:42 PM

I finally got this on the weekend! Thank you samplestore.sg for this opportunity to try this beauty product. It's called Bio-essence Hydra Tri-Action Aqua Droplet Sleeping Beauty Mask. Yup, It's a mouthful to say!

Left: The Packaging | Right: The Bottle

(Ohhhh I love the colour already!)

I had a peak inside the bottle too (:

So what's all this fuss about this Sleeping Beauty Mask?

It's their Hyrda Tri-Action - 3 x Hydration Power (Hydrates | Nourishes | Protects)

	Power Nano Hyaluronic Acid With an average nano molecular size of 15 - 25 nm, it absorbs quickly and easily into the skin, making skin instantly hydrated and moisturised. Superior moisture retention capability to keep skin firm, plumped up and moisturised Hyaluronic Acid: Forms a large lock water network to effectively lock in moisture, keeping the skin moist and soft. Cranberry Extract: Works as a great moisturiser and aids in moisture retention, improving skin elasticity and suppleness
	Cranberry Extract provides excellent conditioning of the skin for a healthy glow. With Bio Energy Fluid which further nourishes and refines skin texture.
	Rich in anti-oxidants, Cranberry Extract helps protects skin against harmful free radicals, environmental and UV damages

Enriched with 2 types of Hyaluronic Acid (Power Nano Hyaluronic Acid & Hyaluronic Acid) to replenish and lock-in moisture, providing your skin with non-stop hydration
With Cranberry Extracts to moisturise skin, for a radiant smooth complexion
Rapidly absorbs into skin, ensuring optimal nutrients being absorbed without any moisture lost and leaves no sticky feeling on skin.
Delivers moisture intensively all night to hydrate and repair skin during sleep.
Reveals a revitalised, supple and smooth skin the next morning.

Yes, It is.. Bio Essence's Bio Aqua Crystal Technology, let's you see aqua droplets in 3 seconds!

Dull & Tired Skin | Oily Skin | Dry & Rough Skin | Enlarged Pores

Below shows how you can combat 4 common skin problems that most ladies face.

Well for me it would be the oil levels when it's hot and humid outside, even though I constantly wash my face with water wherever I go. Or when I travel to cold countries my skin gets dry.

Suitable for all skin types and daily usage

Step 1 : Massage gently till aqua droplets form

(I'm still amazed at how the aqua droplets are formed)

Step 2 : Gently pat till full absorbed into skin

Step 3 : Apply a thin layer over skin as a daily moisturiser or apply a thicker layer to replenish skin's moisture throughout the night as a sleeping mask (Don't worry it doesn't feel sticky)

I really like Bio-essence Hydra Tri-Action Aqua Droplet Sleeping Beauty Mask as it fulfils everything I'm looking for in a beauty mask product. The non-sticky/matte feeling when applied as a sleeping mask. It smells so good and it leaves my skin refreshed, replenished and smooth while I sleep.
