SAVE YOUR SKIN with - ETUDE A-Z (Alphabet) Sheet Masks!

As we all know, masks come in all different shapes and sizes, textures and purposes. But I have never seen any skincare brand or any other cosmetic brand (even MBD) that covers as many types of skin concerns/ or any form of imperfection that you think you may have in one freaking box of masks!

Uh huh! I'm talking about the Etude A-Z Alphabet Masks.

Like all masks I have reviewed, you must be wondering how much better is this?! 

Well, these are the 3 points that sets the Etude alphabetical mask apart from other brands!

ONE

The sheets are made from corn fibre, unlike most masks that use cotton masks. Apart from making it more than natural and organic, it is also making this a whole lot more environmental friendly thus, more likely to speed up the biodegrading process. 

TWO 

Regardless of your skin type, there is definitely one that will suit you!  Just see the list below! 
 

THREE

Stepping into ETUDE HOUSE is like stepping in to a departmental store cosmetics section where you need to go from brand to brand to look for the masks that suits your skin and wallet at the same time. 

Now you can skip that and simply enter ANY Etude House to purchase a mask that suits both your skin and wallet!  

BONUS

(ok, 4th point) Not sure about you, but we have all know the benefits that berries can do for our skin. The Heart Shaped Mask, incorporating 5 different berries (blueberry, acai berry, raspberry, blackberry, strawberry extracts)  just sounds so yummy for my skin!! 

Thanks to CozyCot, I had the great honor introduce the masks that forms the brand name - ETUDE♥.

REVIEWS
I have yet to give the masks a try, but Mr Hong sure did yesterday! Because there were two of the same masks that were given (E: Elder Flower for soothing & moisturizing effects) and Mr Hong doesn't moisturise his face AT ALL, or unless when I force him to (He hates the sticky feeling that most moisturiser does).

(Yes,  他很爱美!) Anyways, while placing the mask for Mr Hong, I had problems stretching it to fit his face which resulted in bubbles on some parts of his face (maybe it is just him - hahahaha). That aside, the essence from the mask was not as sticky and easily absorbed when I massage it into his face. No complaints about the stickiness at all! :)
 
PRICE
With each of the mask priced at $1.90, I'm sure YOU will be able to select the best for the best in your life!

GIFTS

I'm probably one of the most practical person when it comes to gifting in my circle of friends. To me, gifting has to be meaningful and useful at the same time. Are you like me having problems thinking about last minute valentine's gift? Well, not only is this wallet friendly, I am sure it will be the perfect gift for a close friend. Be inspirational, be free in forming up the words that spells your best friend's name, or even your families' name. 

Most importantly, Have fun!

[Product Review] The Olay Regenerist Serum & Eyelash Duo!

Remember this?

Just a few weeks ago, I was introduced to this whole new range by Olay called the Regenerist. On top of the Micro-Sculpting Cream that was given to me, I also had the honour to try out 2 other products.

The Regenerist Revitalising Serum 
Benefits of the product:
- Renew skin’s youthful look
- Deliver deep penetrating anti-aging ingredients into skin’s epidermis layer
- Reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles with moisturisation
- Exfoliate and smooth skin

Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Eye Cream & Lash Serum Duo
Benefits of the product
• Instantly thickens the appearance of lashes
• Firmer, smoother-looking lids
• Softened appearance of lines
• Younger-looking eyes that are brighter and firmer in just one week

How to use it?  
The Regenerist Revitalising Serum should be used just like your other Serum - apply them after cleansing. Please apply all serum in an upward motion, because this tiny little massage everyday, will help your face defy gravity for that few minutes/hours/days/weeks and help slow down the signs of aging. So don't complain and start doing!

There are two ways to use this product. For the Eye cream, dab it under your eyes gently and do it with upwards motion. This will help to soften the appearance of lines and create the smooth looks of the lids.

As for the use of the lash brush, twist the wand out of the serum bottle and weep the serum onto your lashes. It instantly coats, thicken and nourish your lashes. When it dries, you can also place your favourite mascara on. But I only use it at night before I sleep. Juts in case, it causes my mascara to smudge.  

Would you recommend either? 
Because I have my own skincare routine that I try to stick close to very religiously, I try not to include other brands, just in case my face becomes overly sensitive over it. Occasionally, when I feel like doing a short massage or a leave-on-masks, I would prep my face with the Olay Regenerist Serum and massage a generous quantity into my face. After that, I leave a thick layer of the Micro-sculpting Cream on my face to allow the rest of the goodness to be absorbed. I leave it on for about 15 minutes, then I'll wash it off and apply another thin layer of the serum. The next day when I wake up, my skin feels more firm and I can see that the laugh lines that I claim to have, are not that obvious.

As for the Eye Cream and Lash Serum Duo, I would need to review this separately. For the eye cream, I very honestly, find it a tad bit too oily for me. I know that the product is able to dissolve or should I "water soluble". But despite the fact, I still find it a tad bit oily, and I dont really like the feeling after application. 

Whereas, the Lash Serum Duo is an entirely new product that I have never tried before. But sometimes, I can get lazy, and I forget all about the Lash Serum Duo. But I have to say that if you're going for the casual "bo chup" look, just slap on some Lash Serum Duo, it does create a thicker appearance of lashes! (: 
 

Once again, thank you CozyCot & Olay for sponsoring the products! Thank you readers for reading and have a great day ahead!

Woohoo

[Event Review] The Weekly's Look Good, Feel Great Masterclass by Olay!

Co-organised by Women's Weekly & Olay, I was kindly invited to attend "The Weekly's Look Good, Feel Great Masterclass" on 30th March 2013, Four Seasons Hotel Crescent Ballroom

Here are some photos from the event.

Ms Barbara Koh, Editor of Women's Weekly

Olay Senior Scientist, David Khoo, to share about the latest skincare technology for the All New Olay Regenerist range

This is the best I could get of the Superiority Live Demo! Decided to make it a .gif, so you can save the trouble of scrolling down endless photos. What happened during this demonstration was a about 5ml syringe was use to scoop up two different product - Product X and of course the New Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream and placed in two bottles; shake & test its solubility. The Olay cream obviously mixed really well with the water and it was mentioned that a good skin care product is usually more water-dispersed. Because our skin main composition is water, and more water-dispersed product can carry ingredient deeper in skin layers. 

The Olay Regenerist Eyelash Duo!

With special thanks to Cozycot and Olay for sponsoring these products for me to test on. Would definitely do another write-up on the (new) products that I received - Olay Regenerist Revitalising serum & the Olay Regenerist Eyelash Duo

[Product Review] Essential Damage Care Nuance Airy Anti Frizz Serum

Ever dreamt of long silky hair, or at least... hair that doesn't look like this?

That's the messiest state my hair can be at.

Ok, Unless you're kristen stewart, otherwise do something about the frizziness!

Want your hair to stay smooth and bouncy all day with no oily after-feel?

INTRODUCING ESSENTIAL DAMAGE CARE NUANCE AIRY ANTI FRIZZ SERUM 
(AIYO THE NAME SO LONG)

Seriously the name is TOOOOOO long. If it was me who was promoting this product, think I'll just be super thirsty after saying the name 10 times. But I guess it describes what the product does and is about.

ESSENTIAL DAMAGE CARE NUANCE AIRY ANTI FRIZZ SERUM (PINK)

(Oh! I used to use Nourishing Care Lotion (Orange Colour One))

My concern was, WILL IT REALLY HELP ME?

Transparent solution - sweet smelling and non-sticky at all!

1. Pump an appropriate amount of serum onto your palm. 
2. Apply from mid-length to tips, concentrate on the damaged areas. 
3. Spread and apply evenly onto the ends of your hair. 
4. Do not rinse off.

TADAH!! See how shiny my hair is! (: (: (: and non frizzy!

What does it really do?

• High Purity Honey Oil provides deep moisture 
• Ultra Shine Essence gives hair a long-lasting shine
• Wild Rose Essence keeps hair soft and moisturised

New Improved! Intensive Leave-on Treatment enriched with High Purity Honey Oil , Wild Rose Essence and Cuticle Repair Essence. Instantly coats and smoothens peeling cuticles while repairing damaged hair surface. Hair stays Smooth and Bouncy all day.

Where can I find them?

I am very sure you can find this product almost in every drug stores, supermarket as well as those individual "shampoo" shops that you canfind along the shop houses outside AMK hub. Like Pink Beauty!  

How much does it cost?

The actual price of the product is $10.90. But sometimes, during Watsons Sale, (which is when I usually top up my toiletries) it is sold at $9.90.

Would I recommend this product?

Honestly, I never really suffered from Frizzy problems with my hair. But because I have been dyeing my hair in such bright colours (nope, I didn't bleach at all), I think it has caused my hair to become really lethargic and lifeless. That was also a reason why at initial stage I chose the Orange bottle (Nourishing Care Lotion) instead of the Pink one that I'm reviewing on. But my friends who recommended me the products were all using the pink one, when I asked them why, I had one very clear cut answer - "Nice smelling ma!"

That's for sure, I would agree. Your hair do smell very very good after the use of the serum.Then again, with the new improved formula in this product, I am very confident to say that this leave-on-serum will definitely infuse all the goodness into my damage hair, leaving it smooth and bouncy (most importantly, ALIVE!!!). 


Ok, ending with 2 headshots. Bear with me. 

See, that wasn't that difficult was it?

Love 
Andrea
