[Product Review] Bio-essence Bio Spring Water

Firstly, HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR TO ALL OF YOU OUT THERE! (:

Its feel a little too fast that valentines' is just a few days after and Chinese New Year have barely past us. Too fast too fast! Goodness. But still, I hope everyone collected superawesome red packet! If you're thinking of what to do with the money.. apart from the Zalora post below

Today, I'm going to introduce this highly raved product by many! (Read on!)

I'll be giving away 3 Mini bottles to my readers.

Just email me at vanitylavie@gmail.com with your name and address (first come first serve basis!).  Product was sponsored by EK Media

What am I talking about?!

 

That's right! The newly raved Bio-essence Bio Spring Water? Still think it looks unfamiliar?

Have you always wanted to find a product, that you could use, any time, any where? Something small and handy to refresh your face after a long day at work before you meet that somebody special? Or does your hair look dry and flat?

Because I did.

The product claims to help sooth, anti-irritate and have calming effects on the skin, with "20 Excellent Efficiacies for face, hair and body"

I have tried several facial mists before, and I must say that this is the first time I came across a mist, that allows you to use for your face, hair and body. Well, right now in the market, a lot of brands are creating such similar facial mists, with either refreshing purposes or sunblock purposes. I guess in a hot hot hot climate like Singapore, we really need something small and handy, and totally effective - an all-in-one for everyone despite of age or gender!

So I did give the product a trial run for a few weeks. Here's what I have gotta say!

1. Its main purpose, is to refresh - not moisturise. Never be like me, and be lazy to use this as a moisturiser, because one morning after being "lazy" I woke up to really dry skin, and applying my usual makeup routine, was definitely a chore!
2. It does refresh very very well, the nozzle is well controlled! The amount of each spray is nicely distributed, if you keep a good distance away (Recommended 20cm) from your face.
3. Product does feel light, and not heavy!
4. Tried to use it on my hair one day, when it was flat, and it did show volume after I sprayed the mist on. But subsequently, I'm not sure if it was my hair that didn't reacted well to the product or what, but my hair turned really oily. Or at least it was oilier than usual.

Where can I find them?

Well, the product can be easily found at all local drug stores, supermarket and certain departmental store that carries the Bio-Essence Brand.

How much does it cost?

I recently took a trip down to Watson's and I saw them having a bundle package promotion of 2 huge bottles (300ml x 2) for about $30 I think, or was it less? I can't remember cause my phone got rebooted, and I lost all the pictures I took! ):

Would I recommend this product?

Well, I'm kinda a happy user, using Vichy Thermal Spa Water though. It really does what I need especially when I was in Aussie last year, refreshing my make up in that cold weather is such a necessity in comparison with Singapore!

But this product is definitely recommended to people who like to wash their faces during lunch time with water, or when they feel like their faces are too oily. (its the same logic whereby the more you wash, the oilier it would get). So for them, I would really suggest that instead of washing their faces, replace the washes and be refreshed by Bio-Essence Spring Water !

(:

Take care loves! Enjoy your last few days of CNY!  

[Advertorial] ZALORA.SG

Good Evening FEBRUARY!

(please note that this post is neither sponsored or paid.)

Yes, I finally have the time to blog!

Pardon me, but I was really super caught up with my work, trying to organise an event that held 750 guests. Really not easy. Will talk about the greatness of my work one day, but definitely, not today. So much to rave about, from the service quality to the entertainment that we auditioned & concluded in the end!

Well, I was invited to check out ZALORA. Infact, this website has been around for a little while already. I have always seen the advertorials on Nuffnang, my credit card statement, on the different forum pages, social media, bloggers, etc etc etc.

 When I saw it on my cable TV, I actually thought it was really hilarious! 

Before I start commenting about Zalora, I need to declare that when I shop online, it is because I want a certain product at a non-retail price. Which means - DISCOUNTS. Yes, I love love love discounts - black friday sales, holiday sales and etc etc. Therefore, when I shop @ Zalora, that's what I look out for too! Only when I really really really love an item, and I know that it is selling like hotcakes and I-Must-Get-It, then would I purchase the item at its original cost. Otherwise, I always tell myself - look for alternatives online. 

Here's what caught my attention! 
Under the Premium section

Being an office lady (OL) now *sighs*, I thought this is a good enough bag to lug around for meetings or even a casual meet up with friends after work! Black never goes wrong, doesn't it?

Since tomorrow is Friday, how about a little laid back look tied in with any basic you can pull off your wardrobe to pair with this gorgeously printed pants at such a ripped-off price!

Over to the Women's category!

I have been using this product, since the last time I went on the cruise with kind media invites from the brand itself. And I must say this is really really very very good. After the use of the White-C Revitalizing Collagen Essence, you really CAN feel the difference (texture of your face) the next morning when you wake up and prep your make-up!

And if you're someone who is on the lazier side on make up, I suggest Powder foundation. I wanted to add in the eyebrow pencil here, but they don't have it available on the website. PLEASE EVERYONE, DRAW YOUR EYEBROWS before you look like a blank canvas after your foundation especially when you have those super skinny kinds!

I'm quite a minimalist when it comes to accessories. So a classic pair of watch, a pair of shades and a beaded necklace to finish the look for the above! 

And how can we even forget about shoes right? For those endless looking legs, please buy nude peeptoe heels! Oh, and do remember to paint your nails!

To complete the look, or wow the look, Get your nails painted with your favourite OPI colour here too! I suggest hot colours like neon yellow, red, or orange or silver!They also have China Glaze and many other brands

and then... we move on to the Men's section.

I know I know, Valentine's Day is coming, and the whole world just suddenly turned into such a love-bird atmosphere. But! Just in case you're buying a gift for your male partner/friend, maybe here are some suggestions or items you can purchase off Zalora at an awesome cost!

(Please note that I generally like my men in shirts, than tee-shirt. Like shirts that are folded to 3/4 length (to show off their very muscular arms) with clean cut jeans or nicely tailored khaki pants like Chinos with boat shoes! Unless you have very very nicely toned legs, then I wouldn't mind seeing them in Berms. Haha!- future lovers, please take note thanks!)

Imagine gifting this to someone you love and addding a cheeky line like...
" can I pull up your blinds, I wanna see what's underneath"

Ok, just imagine that it is in 3/4 lengthed sleeve ok. Semi-Casual

Perfect! I like how this top has details that most shops do not have. It actually look more expensive that the stated price!

For a more formal look - perhaps this is good. I don't like boring white & black suits ok. Though they can be rather charming at times... ;)

With all those redpackets that you're receiving over the holidays, why not, pamper yourself!
