Neogence Pore Solution series is like the basic and yet sufficient skincare to target on pores issue. Included in the range is a cleanser, pore-reducing serum, treatment gel and a pore-purifying serum.
Under the hot and humid weather in SG, oily t-zone, enlarged pores are few of the common skin issues faced by some of us. The very first step we should do is to keep the skin clean and prevent clogged pores, followed by products to help to minimize pores size, and finally to maintain the good skin’s condition to prevent acne from surfacing.
Neogence Pore Solution series did it all! Its 4 main functions “effectively recuperating sebum, controlling germs, dissolving acne, and rebuilding pores” are what the series is all about!
The products contain quite a few active ingredients which help to solve pores issue. Glycacid, Witch Hazel extract just to name a few.
The very first product to use when comes to keeping skin clean is a cleanser!
Neogence Pore Purifying Cleansing Gel helps to deep clean the pores and removes the dirt to prevent clogged pores. It has an oil-controlled formula that helps to maintain sebum production.
Neogence Extremely Off-heads Serum is meant to soften and dissolve acne and pores. This is my Holy Grail product for pores. It is like a painless extraction for the dirt and blackheads stuck inside the pores.
It contains Witch Hazel which is also a astringent, helps to sooth and minimize pores size. By minimizing pore size, oil sebum surfacing to the skin will appear lesser, and in return less prone to acnes.
Other than removing the dirts and clearing up the pores, the skin still needs a product to minimize the pores so as to prevent further dirts get into the pores.
Neogence Extreme Pore-Reducing Serum provides oil control properties to the skin. Other than reducing the pores size, it also tries to build up the the good skin’s condition, improves huge pores problems. Contains both Witch Hazel leaf extract and Vitamin B3.
Texture is pretty light and 1-2 drops are sufficient for areas near my nose. I use it once a week since my pores issue is very minimal.
So after cleaning the pores, removing the stubborn dirts and minimizing the pores size, it’s now all about maintenance.
Anti-Blemish Treatment Gel, just like the name says it all, it’s a treatment gel. It basically strengthens the oil-control formula to control sebum production.
Comes in gel-like texture, very moisturizing to the skin while taking care of the pores.
I am impressed with how the serums are packaged, so much easier to use with a few drops and contamination is avoided. In this way, product life can be prolonged.
I got to know about Neogence Pore Solution Series when I was invited to their launch event. The event started off a short presentation on the products, followed by a live demo.
I had my polaroid taken by the folks from Sasa/Neogence with the product as my backdrop. That’s an awesome photo!
Neogence Pore Solution is available at Sasa outlets in SG.
Tried out 2 face brightening masks from BRTC Stem Cell range before my Europe trip this Friday. I sure need some nice radiance and moisture on my face before the trip which is going to be a dry and cold one.
BRTC Stem Cell masks come in a box of 5 pcs, S$25/box.
Here are my reviews on 2 of the 6 masks which I’ve received from Sasa SG. I love the results and will be back to review the remaining 4 in December.
Starting with BRTC Morning Glory Stem Cell mask. This is mad love!
Check out the quality of the mask sheet, made of lyocell fibers with 100% natural, biodegradable, and skin-affinitive cellulose.
Notice there is a pattern printed on the mask sheet? Reminds me of those body cell drawings which I’ve seen in Bio-science.
I love how the mask sheet provides optional masking for the eyelids and lips! Yes, I mean lips! Super nice to also moist the lips while masking the face right, afterall who will want to talk during masking, unless she is not afraid of wrinkles. This maybe a myth, then again, why keeps moving (it moves if you talk) the skin when it is supposed to resting and absorbing the nutrients during masking?
The result is instant and very obvious. It purifies the skin with morning glory callus extract. My skin looks so clear during the day!
Before
Before masking, my skin looks dull with slight flakiness.
After
Flakiness isgone and skin gets brightened up after masking! My skin feels/looks freshen up!
My bare skin looks so glowy under natural sunlight lighting shone from my room’s window! It’s my first time to see such a nice glow!
After revitalize my face, I follow up with a moisturizing mask the next day.
BRTC Edelweiss Stem Cell, with Edelweiss callus extract that is supposed to replenish the moisture loss on dry skin, and add some radiance to the skin.
Before
After
Immediately after I remove the mask sheet,, I still feel an excess of the essence on my skin. So as not to waste it, I give my face a gentle massage using the essence. Guess what, my skin feels soft and bouncy!
So far, the two masks from BRTC Stem Cell have not fail my expectation. It helps to prep my skin for the cold weather by giving some sufficient moisture before it gets worsen under the harsh environment.
My skin now feels ready to face the dry environment after the masking with Morning Glory Stem Cell and Edelweiss Stem Cell.
Other available BRTC Stem Cell Masks are Rice Stem Cell, Green Tea Stem Cell, Zinnia Stem Cell, Ginseng Stem Cell masks. I can’t wait to use them when I am back, for sure I need them to rejuvenate my skin again!
BRTC Stem Cell masks are available in Sasa SG Outlets.
Here’s a review of a new moisturizer which will be launching in Sasa (SG) outlets.
From GoodSkin Labs, Exten-10 Instant Youth Boosting Moisturizer with SPF15, promises to achieve a youthful-looking skin. The packaging may not looks appealing or fanciful, but the ingredients inside are definitely nourishing to the skin. It contains antioxidants and ingredients that enable skin cells to communicate, enhances skin repair.
How I wish it comes with higher SPF because SPF 15 is definitely not enough for me. But I kind of love the moisturizing level it gives to my skin.
I have used my hand in this review as it gives a good illustration on the before and after usage .
Light-textured cream that glides easily onto my skin, my skin feels soft instantly! And yep, it is (almost as I still sense a light scent) fragrance-free, suitable for sensitive skin, and very much suitable for those with dry skin type or combination skin type.
There maybe a layer of white cast left on my skin if I use more than the required amount, or not when it unevenly spread on my skin.
Massage the moisturizer a little longer helps to reduce the visibility of the white cast.
Exten-10 Instant Youth Boosting Moisturizer leaves a silky shiny finish on my skin. The shine is due to mica which is inside the product formula.
But it doesn’t really bother me much because the shine is easily removed when I set up my foundation. Foundation application is a swift after this moisturizer! It makes my foundation set easily without drying the skin.
The product packaging mentions “looks 10 years younger” seems enticing? I don’t really quite believe or expect that kind of results, but I always believe by giving the skin a good moisturizing level, the skin is able to maintain its elasticity and firmness, hence a delay in saggy wrinkled skin.
GoodSkin Labs Exten-10™ Instant Youth Boosting Moisturizer SPF 15 will be available in SG Sasa outlets in November 2012.
It’s BRTC products again! Previously I blogged about 4 popular BB creams from BRTC, in this blogpost, I am sharing my review on BRTC Vitalizer range of products.
My sponsored products:
BRTC Vitalizer White Soap (S$35)
BRTC Vitalizer Fluid (S$39)
BRTC Vitalizer C 10 Ampoule (S$48)
BRTC Bright Eye Vitalizer (S$35)
BRTC Vitalizer Cream (S$45)
BRTC Vitalizer White Gel (S$35)
BRTC Vitalizer Mask (S$30 for box of 5 sheets)
First to review is the foam cleanser, Vitalizer White Soap, that comes in 200ml. What makes the cleanser different from most is it is made up of many vitamin concentrated capsules which not only cleanses the skin, but also keeping the skin moisturized with a layer of protective firm on the skin after cleansing.
See the orange beads inside the cleanser? Those beads are the vitamin capsules that burst during cleansing. They very gentle on the skin and that does the cleansing effectively. I can hardly feel the beads.
The cleanser smells orangy, just 1-2 pumps are enough to create the sufficient foam on my skin. Most foam cleansers tend to make my combination skin a little after washing. But Vitalizer White Soap is able to keep my skin clean, moist and soft after washing.
One of the basic steps after cleansing is toning/softening the skin, to prep it for moisturizer after that. Vitalizer Fluid acts as a toner that contains Vitamin A, B3, B5, C & E, which helps in skin whitening and revitalization.
How I apply is, take 1-2 pumps and pat it all over my face. It does provide some moisture to the skin.
After toning, eye cream and ampoule are next.
Bright Eye Vitalizer Cream has the same texture of a lip balm, but comes in a much thicker size. It targets on spots and pigmentation, and dull skin.tone.
I am a little not used to the application. What I do is, I roll it on my under eyes and pigmentation areas. I will give it a few rolls before using my finger to massage.
Ampoule, has always been said to hold the most concentrated nutrients and ingredients. Vitalizer C10 Ampoule includes 10% of Vitamin C stabilized through bio polymer process. (Pure Vitamin C is not stable unless process) It adds as a skin booster to achieve brightened up skin tone.
Vitalizer C10 Ampoule i s my pick for this BRTC Vitalizer skincare range. I love how it can absorb well into my skin without making the skin feeling too heavy and sticky.
Vitalizer White Gel is the least product I like in the range. The gel-like texture makes my skin feels heavy and sticky.
Just like Vitalizer White Soap, it contains plenty of Vitamin capsules.
Vitalizer White Gel is supposed to be a fantastic product that provides intense moisture to the skin, giving the maximum boost to a brighter skin. But too bad, I don’t like the sticky feel it leaves on my skin. Even if I try to leave it as a sleeping mask or wipe it off after application, my face feels uncomfortable from the stickiness.
Vitalizer White Cream contains alot of VitaminA, B3, B5, and E to help to firm up the skin as well as skin brightening.
The cream-based texture is still not so bad, not as heavy as what I have expected. Good to use it as day moisturizer.
Vitalizer Mask provides intense moisture, helps skin to achieve a brightened up skin tone.
The high-quality mask sheet lies comfortably on my skin, feeding my skin with fruit ingredients which fight against melanin production. It’s also an anti-oxidant mask that softens the skin on top of moisturization.
BRTC Vitalizer range mainly cater to those who are keen to achieve a brightened up skin tone and fight against pigmentation.
I have been using the range for about a week, so far so good.
BRTC Vitalizer skincare is available at SG Sasa Outlets.
In this October, I am seriously BB cream overdosed! I have received quite a few tubes of BB cream for reviewing, and I am super happy about it.
I have always been curious about how each BB cream is said to heal/improve the skin’s condition. It can be applied in thin layer, serves as a makeup base or concealer, or a moderate layer as a liquid foundation. Either way, it is able to provide some coverage for the face.
Highlights of this blogpost include 4 BB Creams from BRTC, sponsored by Singapore Sasa.
Jasmine Water BB Cream
Gold Caviar BB Cream
Whitening & Repairing BB Cream
Aqua Rush Water Drop BB Cream
I’ve taken the before and after photos from using the BB creams. The difference is very noticeable.
All 4 BB creams are almost equally good and I have a hard time deciding which is my favourite.
Despite all 4 BB creams have different shades, they are able to blend into my skintone which looked natural after application. I guess this what a good BB cream is all about, isn’t it? They are supposed to suit many different skin tones, blend into the skin tone to look natural and almost perfect.
Jasmine Water BB Cream
Jasmine Moist System is what this BB cream is all about keeping the skin moisturizing and soothing. It also provides brightening effect for both sensitive and dry skin types.
Before
The truth about my combination skin is, I have uneven skin tone, pigmentation like freckles, and a little redness due to my thin skin. (It’s true, my skin is quite thin after a skin analysis which I’ve done before)
Texture of the BRTC Jasmine Water BB Cream is light and blending is easy and smooth. The result is very obvious, my skin looks smooth and has the natural glow!
Comes with SPF 30.
After
Close up…
Notice how brightened up my skin has turned out after applying the BB Cream?
I actually follow up with loose powder or two-way cake (depends on my mood) after the bb cream. Surprisingly, my skin feels hydrated for up to 5 hours before I do another touch up using two-way cake.
It’s my pick!
Gold Caviar BB Cream
Gold Caviar is all about delaying aging skin and solving signs of an aging skin. Wrinkles and saggy skin are few of the signs we can see from an aging skin.
What happens is that, BRTC Gold Caviar BB Cream contains Caviar, Collagen and other nutrients that will help to protect the skin from against environmental damage, nourishes the skin to turn soft and smooth, less wrinkles and improve skin’s elasticity.
It also comes with SPF 50 PA +++ which is very sufficient to protect skin from sun damage.
Before
After
The texture is a little more thicker and heavier than BRTC Jasmine Water BB Cream. It also has the darkest shade among the 4 BRTC BB Creams in this blogpost, so coverage-wise it pretty good, especially with concealing fine lines near the eyes and frown lines.
Whitening & Repairing BB Cream
BRTC Whitening & Repairing BB Cream has almost the same protection system as BRTC Gold Caviar BB Cream. It doesn’t focus on fighting against wrinkles, but also whitening, for those who are looking at a fair skin complexion, like me.
Unlike from the BRTC Gold Caviar BB Cream, it has the lightest shade and gives very fair and natural coverage to the skin.
Apart from repairing wrinkled skin, it contains active elements to achieve a bright and smooth skin.
Comes with SPF 37 PA ++.
Before
After
A natural and bright skin tone is the result on my skin.
Aqua Rush Water Drop BB Cream
From the name and you’ll know it’s about hydration for the skin. BRTC Aqua Rush Water Drop BB Cream makes use of an Aqua Rush System to hydrate dry skin type.
Comes with SPF 28 PA ++.
Before
As I spread on the bb cream on my skin, tiny water drops are released from the bb cream to hydrate and quench skin’s thirst. That’s what the Aqua Rush System is all about.
After
Despite it’s less creamy texture, it is able to conceal most of my skin’s imperfections. My 2nd love among this 4 bb creams.
BRTC BB Creams are available at Sasa SG Outlets.
All photos posted above are before powder application.
Lately, I started trying out this skincare range, Hadatuko Kinushiro-Hada.
This range consists of products which are required in a full skincare regimen.
Hadatuko Kinushiro-Hada Cleansing Foam
Hadatuko Kinushiro-Hada Enrich Lotion
Hadatuko Kinushiro-Hada Lifting Essence
Hadatuko Kinushiro-Hada Lifting Cream
Hadatuko Kinushiro-Hada Lifting Eye Cream
Hadatuko Kinushiro-Hada Moisture Refining Pack
In this blogpost, I am going to review 3 products from Hadatuko Kinushiro-Hada.
Japanese skincare has always been well-known and raved for their efficacy in skin whitening and natural radiance. So does Hadatuko Kinushiro-Hada which is formulated with natural ingredients to give the skin a youthful look as we age.
Hadatuko Kinushiro-Hada Lifting Essence is to be used before moisturizer step.
It helps in giving moisture into skin. Because it’s an essence in watery-gel texture, it’s small moisture molecules can be absorbed into the skin very easily.
The Lifting Essence leaves a smooth finish on my skin, and helps to soften the skin, ensuring the moisturizer (to be applied next) is more easily and fully absorbed into the skin.
It’s an anti-aging moisturizer which I apply every night. It is able to provide my skin with its deep intense moisture, keeping my skin hydrated and supple when I sleep in air-conditioned room.
Its a non-sticky creamy texture that does not feel heavy on my skin.
Spreading is easy. Infact, as I apply the Lifting Cream on my face, I give my face a short facial massage at the sametime. It helps in better absorption of the skincare and improve my blood circulation. Not only that, facial massage helps to lift my skin.
Every morning when I wake up, while rinsing my face, I can really feel the layer of moisture on skin’s surface. This assures me that through out the night, my skin is really well-moisturized and protected from becoming dry.
This Lifting Eye Cream is pretty rich in moisturizing and nourishing the delicate skin around the eyes.
Comes in very-light texture and is easily glided on the thin skin. Not much skin tugging is involved and that’s good, means less chances of having more fine lines!
There are two ways on how I use this Lifting Eye Cream. It’s either the massaging or patting method, depends on my mood.
The skin around my eyes feel comfortable, less tightness and moisturized. But when comes to fine lines, not much improvements. I shall wait for a longer usage to see its efficacy.
Talking about the scent, Hadatuko Kinushiro-Hada products smell abit of sweetness and light floral.
For most anti-aging products, their texture and ingredients maybe a little rich for some skin types.
Hadatuko Kinushiro-Hada is pretty natural and gentle. Very suitable for young ladies who are entering the aging-phase.
Have you found your ideal rotating mascara? Rotating mascara is nothing new in the beauty market. Some mascaras out there are named vibrating. Basically both rotating and vibrating helps in separating the eyelashes with minimal effort from our hands.
Sasatinnie is the in-house brand of Sasa. The quality in Sasatinnie collections are in no inferior to counter brands. I have ever tried their crack nail polishes and falsies. They never fail to disappoint me in terms of their efficacy and product quality.
And now, I have my chance to own a Sasatinnie mascara! It’s the 360º Electrifying Extreme Lengthening & Volumizing Mascara!
One problem which most ladies are facing is clumping of eyelashes after many coats of mascara. It’s like we have to compromise the lengthening & volumizing with the number of coats.
Sasatinnie 360º rotating mascara works with just a simple button. Rotation of the mascara is activated with a simple press on the side button.
A simple knowledge of how to use this button is necessary. =)
Before rotating the brush, I need to decide the direction of rotate which I want. The tip is clockwise for top eyelash and anticlockwise for bottom eyelash. Direction is changed each time the button is pressed.
There’s no need to press and hold. Start with a press, stop with a press. =)
Press to start rotation (example: clockwise)
Press to stop rotation
Press to start rotation in another direction (example: anticlockwise)
Press to stop rotation
Say I begin application on top eyelash, so I press the button and have the mascara brush rotates in clockwise direction. Starting from the roots of the eyelashes, hold and move the brush upwards to the eyelash tips. Repeat this step with many coats till the preferred lengthening and volumizing are achieved.
After I am satisfied with my top eyelashes, I press the button again to stop the rotation.
For bottom eyelashes, recall what I have earlier mentioned, whenever the button is pressed, the brush will rotate in the opposite direction, and in this case, it’s anticlockwise, the correct direction for bottom eyelashes.
Bristles of the mascara brush looks like this:
Close up of my mascara-ed upper eyelashes:
They may look sparsely separated. Then again, I am not a pro when comes to mascara, so result may varies with different users.
But from afar, or side view, my eyelashes look not bad actually.
See how lengthened and volumized my eyelashes look:
Here’s me, without applying the bottom eyelashes, I hope I don’t look weird here.
I am pretty satisfied with its lengthening & volumizing results with minmal clumping on my eyelashes! For a more dramatic look, apply more coats will do the trick. No worries about clumping as long as the movement is slow, application starts from root to tip.
The top eyelashes on my inner corners are shorter than the rest, most of the times, I am unable to apply the coat evenly on them. But Sasatinnie 360º rotating mascara bristles are able to reach those short eyelashes!
Easy to control with just a simple press on the button.
Most importantly, it is waterproof and smudge-proof!
Sasatinnie 360º Electrifying Extreme Lengthening & Volumizing Mascara is exclusively available at Sasa stores!
It is all about represses melanin process, lightening in pigmentation, rejuvenate the skin by minimizing wrinkles, pores. It also targets on firming up the skin. In short, it’s about repair and renew.
Key ingredients are Vitamin A, C and E for renew, brightening and curb skin aging, and Patent peptide wrinkle-smoothing factor Matrixyl™3000 to effectively reduce wrinkles.
Sharing my humble reviewsbased on 1-week trial:
ACERenewal & Repairing Mask
I’ll start with the mask! 1 box comes with 3 pcs.
I get instant brightening effect on my face after masking for about 15 minutes. ACE Renewal & Repairing mask has got no scent. It’s soaked with alot of essence.
Inside the essence are Vitamin A, C and E. Helps to sooth fine lines, refine pores and improves skin elasticity.
It comes with a plastic layer and a blue sheet wrapping the mask sheet. Remove the plastic layer first, then place the mask sheet (white) tightly on the face. When the mask sheet is in placed, remove the blue layer. I find the blue sheet not very useful because even after I peeled it off, my mask sheet gets a little out of placed.
No worries about unable to make a trip down for facial, this mask is good enough to give a nice brightened up face for a last minute appointment that comes in. All it takes is a 15-minutes of intensive repairing to skin!
ACE Intensive Whitening Lotion
Serves as a toner, like any other toner, it is in transparent water-texture. Has abit of chamomile scent, very soothing to my skin.
It is very easy to use. There’s no need for cotton pad. Just pour out a few drops and pat all over the face will do.
Also contains Vitamin A, C and E to renew, brighten and combat skin aging.
ACE Revitalizing Eye Serum
Hmm… it is scentless but when for the first few seconds during massaging, I smell medicine. LOL!
The delicate skin around my eyes feel alittle sticky after massage. But it’s alright for me, there’s no discomfort.
I do notice a slight less visibility on my fine lines recently.
ACE Liposome Renewal Whitening Serum Needless to say, this is a face serum. The first thing I want to say is its nice soothing scent!
Unlike creamy moisturizer, ACE Revitalizing Hydrating Fluid is able to provide hydration to the skin without thick application. A few drops and some pats on my face and neck, I feel refreshed.
I love how the freshness of its quality is being sealed and packaged. No greasy and stickiness after application.
ACE Revitalizing Hydrating Fluid In creamy texture, can be used as a massaging cream or a moisturizer.
I read that it contains natural olive extract which is refreshing and moisturizing to skin. It always enables the moisture to be easily absorbed into the skin.
What amazes me is that, after massaging, the creamy texture becomes watery texture. I can even see some droplets on my skin. My skin feels soft and smooth the next day. It has this nice floral scent.
ACE Pore Concealing & Revitalizing Base Gel
Use this before applying foundation! It helps to give a good coverage for pores!
It comes in a watery-gel texture, pretty light. Helps to curb my oil sebum on my nose. Foundation on my nose is able to last longer than usual.
I don’t use it all over my face, but only on targeted areas like my nose and cheeks.
Here are my before and after photos using Neogence ACE Revitalizing and Brightening series:
Brightening effect was achieved immediately each time after using the series of products. However, when comes to fine lines, visibility was slightly reduced after 1 week. Then again, result consistency depends on lifestyle and sleeping habit.

————- Stay tuned for next blogposts, I’ll be doing a review on a 360-deg rotating mascara (one of my new loves!) Natio Bathset (feels like spa-ing while using) from Sasa!
Bought a box of 10 pairs of falsies from Sasa. They are Sasa in-house brand.
I don’t really fancy Sasa in-house brand products, but I am not sure why I have bought their falsies to try out, worse still, the thin and soft lash bone kind.
I have a bad experience with those falsies with thin and soft lash bone. They tend to turn out of shape after 1st wear, or tear easily when removing the dried glue.
But I am getting bored with the stock I am trying, decided to go for some lashes which are less thick and black. So, I’m back to soft lash bone falsies again.
I am so happy that I shall now pronounce, I have fall in love Sasa in-ouse brand falsies!
They are so natural on my eyes!
The lashes are not very thick and only a few strands are long, so as to bring out the natural look.
Look from afar, they like real lashes with mascara.
I am just glad that after my 1st wear, the shape of the lash bone isn’t very much damaged. But removing them have to be careful, to avoid pulling off 1 or 2 strands of the lashes.
Do look out for the $1 promo on these falsies at Sasa, on and off they have this promo, buy a box of 10 pairs of falsies at $21.90 and spend $1 for the 2nd box! Very good deal!
Thanks to Beauty Bistro‘s sponsorship, Sassyd0ll was invited to attend a crash course with the well-known beauty guru, Judy Lin (Lin Ye Ting) 林叶亭老师, Taiwan’s renowned 女人我最大 (Lady First) celebrity fashion & beauty stylist.
Judy Lin has recently flown to SG to share with us a few tips on DIY Beauty, using beauty products from SHILLS and ANOSA.
This exclusive Bloggers’ & Media event comprised of 2 segments but I was only able to make it for the first segment. *disappointed with myself*
The first segment was all about slimming, hair volumizing and skin whitening and the second segment was on slimming, pore clarifying & anti-aging skin care.
Beauty Bistro was generous enough to prepare a customized good bag for each blogger who was invited to this media event.
My goodie bag filled with beauty products from SHILLS!
Main topics demonstrated at the media event were on slimming, hair care and skin care.
Here’s the list of products which Judy had used at the event:
For slimming,
:: SHILLS Miracle-Lift 157% Body Contour Control
:: ANOSA Fit Patch
As I had only attended the first segment, I shall share with about the slimming, hair volumizing and pigmentation demo here.
SHILLS Miracle-Lift 157% Body Contour Control, 250ml
This is a heating cream to tone and slim down the targeted body areas.
Formulated with red algae extract, which penetrates into deep skin layers when massaged on skin, this product effectively shrinks cellulite, tightens, soothes and conditions skin, increasing skin elasticity while preventing the appearance of fine lines and skin sagging.
There are a few key ingredients inside this cream. One added key ingredient is caffeine! it is added with 157% more caffeine for effective skin tightening!
Judy did a measurement on the circumference of 1 volunteered lady’s arm before applying the slimming product.
Apply appropriate amount on the target areas, like arms, thighs and abdomen.
Rub and massage the cream on the arms,
Judy also used a massage roller on her skin. This is to ensure better penetration and better results on the slimming.
Judy then used those transparent food wrapper to wrap around the lady’s arm.
After about 15 minutes wrap, the transparent wrap was removed. Judy re-measured the arm again and indeed, a few centimeters were gone!!
ANOSA Fit Patch, 8 pieces, 14cm x 10cm
This patch gives a sauna effect and help to flattens and tightens abdomen area.
It makes use of 3 stages to flatten,
Stage 1: Skin tightening—active formulation penetrates deep into skin to tighten and shape sagging skin.
Stage 2: L-Carnitine penetrates deep into skin layers to improve blood circulation and slowly break down fatty deposits.
Stage 3: Natural oils and plant extracts smooth and moisturize skin.
Formulated with pure Evening primrose oil, Borage oil, Raspberry and Strawberry plant extracts for skin tightening and firming effects. Comes in a translucent refreshing gel texture, with a pleasant and fresh strawberry aroma.
Each box has got 8 pieces measuring 14 x 10 cm each. Recommended use it to cut each piece into 2 and you can use it for 16 times!
Usage frequency can be like 2 times a day, one for day and one for night, for no more than 8 hours per use. Apply on areas such as thighs, buttocks and abdomen. Each patch is only for one-time application and should not be transferred to another person after use. Depending on individual, some may feel a slight heat sensation during use. This is normal and it is okay to continue using it.
Next, Judy brought us to topic on volumizing haircare from SHILLS. These products can really help to enhance curls, makes the hair looking voluminous!
SHILLS Magical Hair Volumizer with Camellia Extracts, 130 ml
For ladies with wavy or permed hair, this Magical Hair Volumizer helps to achieve natural volume and wavy hair. It gives strong hold, long-lasting curls. Has a non-sticky for hair finishing and hair feels light after spray.
Camellia extracts smooth and protect hair, restoring hair strength and vitality. Rich vitamins, nutrients and herbal ingredients regulate excess scalp oil, with excellent antibacterial properties, providing you with the best hair protection possible.
Here’s the little demonstration by Judy and another volunteer lady with permed hair.
Judy sprayed directly onto her dry hair. Can also be applied on wet hair. When spraying onto hair roots, Judy mentioned spraying should be from a distance of 10–15cm.
To bring back livelier curls, Judy used fingers to “pinch” hair towards the desired direction.
To enhance the curls, Judy recommended using a hair blower.
Here’s the Before-n-After conditions of the hair.
Left half of her hair shows her hair condition without using the Magical Hair Volumizer. Right half shows the hair condition after using the Magical Hair Volumizer. Notice her curls did look abit more enhanced than before.
That’s not all, Judy said when she arrived in SG, she noticed most local girls had more or less the same hairstyle. This is something which I totally agree! I am one of the women with boring hairstyle! :c
Luckily Judy shared with us a few tips on how to create hairstyle for day and night. The way she styled looked so easy and messy-free!
This hairstyling product is a hair spray which increases the effectiveness of other hairstyling products. Like the Magical Hair Volumizer, it leaves the hair non-sticky and gives a long-lasting hold on the styles created.
Unlike the Magical Hair Volumizer, when spraying, gota avoid direct spraying onto the scalp.
The using fingers, “pinch” the hair to the desired hairstyle.
SHILLS Dust It, 30ml
Dust It is said to be able to create up to 3 times your hair volume! It comes in a tub in powdery form. Promises to give the hair a natural voluminous wavy look. Non-sticky and feels light on hair.
At the event, we had a male volunteer whose hair was demonstrated by Judy using SHILLS Fix Maximizing Hair Volume Spray and Dust It. Before using the products, his hair was pretty flat, especially on his fringe.
Judy poured a small quantity onto her palm and spread it out well before applying onto hair ends or other parts where she wanted to create the volume.
Hair volume was created by lifting the top of the hair, and from the middle to the ends of the hair strands.
It’s just that fast and easy! Psst psst.. I have got Dust It inside my goodie bag, Must try it!
Finally before Judy ended her first segment in this crash course, she shared with us some skincare products which target on pigmentation and dull skin.
They are the SHILLS WHITE 540 Anti Pigmentation Series which consists of:
:: SHILLS WHITE Anti-Dark Spot Whitening Serum
:: SHILLS WHITE EX Whitening & Brightening Cream
:: SHILLS WHITE EX SPF 42 PA++ Sunblock Whitening Hydra-Foundation 21
Quoted from Beauty Bistro website, the key ingredients in this range are,
1. Tranexamic Acid
Vital whitening ingredient Tranexamic Acid inhibits the formation of melanin, preventing hyperpigmentation and dark spot formation for complete and effective whitening. Tranexamic acid is stable and not easily undermined by the environment, with no known irritation to skin, and moisturizes skin perfectly without any special medium required. Suitable for sensitive skin and recommended specially for lightening spots.
