My Review
This is the first time I heard and seen this brand of toner. Makes me really curious as it stated jelly fish collagen. I know jelly fish, but jelly fish collagen....hm....

The product came in a nice ocean blue box. Just like the box is the ocean with a small jelly fish just under the brand name.

Looking at the bottle is just like looking from under sea water, I am able to see some bubbles between the jelly toner.

  • lightened the dullness of skin under eyes making it look brighten up. 
  • soft, essence-drenched cloth masks.
  • fits shape of eyes. 
How to use SK-II Signs Eye Mask?
  1. Place the mask with the film cover side up, with the broader end meeting the outer corner of your eye. 
  2. Remove the film and leave it on for 10 minutes. 
  3. Use twice weekly after cleansing.
My Review
SK-II, an expensive brand that I long heard about. Finally got the chance to try their product. 

The product came in a red plastic pack.

Each pair of eye mask is place in a plastic tray, covered with a white plastic sheet on top.

The mask is a little different from those I use in the pass. There is actually two cuts at the bottom of it. To better fit onto the eye area I guess.

For me, my opinion is that it is actually not really worth spending the $$ on this expensive eye mask as apart from moisturizing, I don't see my dark circles improve or fine lines reduce. There are cheaper eye mask out there that produces even better results.
Before and After.
Overall, this mask is not really worth spending $$ on if you do not have the budget to spend. My eye area do feel moisturized but have not seen any other improvement on the dark circles or fine lines.

Review: Lynn Aesthetic Detox Facial - Young and Trendy Treatment


Last week, I visited Lynn Aesthetic Beauty Salon and had a very relaxing and refreshing detox facial. 

I have tried many facial services at many places before. But this is the first time I am left with such a strong and wow impression. Thanks to Lynn Aesthetic and Sample Store for inviting me to this facial service.

Come...let me walk you through what is it that I have experience that day that left me with such a good impression, a place worth visiting. 
Visiting Lynn Aesthetic.
Location
Lynn Aesthetic Beauty Salon is located at Blk 211, Hougang St 21, #01-317, S(530211). It is just a few minutes walk from Kovan MRT Exit C and just beside the bowling Alley building. Not difficult to find. :)

Before my facial treatment begin, I was being shown around the area by their beauty therapist, Yuffy Chong, who will be doing my facial treatment later on. 

This is the first time I am so curious and attentively looking at every corner of a beauty salon because every corner is well decorated. 

I really love how attentive the owner of Lynn Aesthetic is. Every little details is well looked after. After changing slipper and entering the door that divides the reception area and the treatment rooms, I notice a change in the room tone.

The reception area is bright and well lighted, giving people a cozy feeling. The lighting for the treatment rooms and corridor area on the other hand is deem, preparing people to feel relax and comfortable for the treatment ahead.

I can see decorations at every corner. Even the stair ways and ceiling.

There are treatment rooms both at the 1st floor and 2nd floor of the beauty salon. Each room have their own theme and is decorated closely with it. Usually I will just walk in, change and jump straight into the facial bed. But this time round, I can't help but take a 2nd look at the surrounding and the treatment room. I really love these theme idea, very interesting indeed.

The room I will be using for my facial treatment which is used by the boss itself, is called the "Butterfly Room", which is located at the 2nd floor. From the doorway to inside the room, I saw butterfly decorations. :)

The most shiok part of the facial treatment is the massage. Essential oils are used for massage for face, shoulder and head.

I seldom go massage and never get use to it at first and simply cannot relax my body. But I become more relax after a while and totally enjoy it.

Treatment Bed
One thing that I really like is the treatment bed that I am sleeping on during facial. Here, their bed is also a massaging bed. 

Instead of just laying there waiting and doing nothing like most of the facial I have done, its different here at Lynn Aesthetic. When I am waiting with the mask on my face, the massage bed actually massage the lower part of my body. 

The massage bed will stop massaging by the time the beauty therapist comes to remove the mask on my face. Total relaxation there without wasting time. Excellent!!!

After Treatment Services
I must say, Yuffy really did an excellent job. The whole facial process is really relaxing and refreshing. My skin looks really smoother, moisturised and brighten up after facial

Lynn Aesthetic does not only take care of my skin, it takes care of my stomach too. The whole facial treatment session ended with a nice cup of passion fruit tea and a delicious bowl of dragon fruit yogurt.
