My Review

Serum is one skincare product that should not be skipped. It helps to improve a lot on our skin condition that other skincare product lack of. 

The triple serum came in a unique purple gradient plastic bottle. 

Unique purple gradient plastic bottle.

As there are 3 serum in 1 bottle, each serum is contain in separate cylinder, therefore, there are 3 holes on the serum pump. 

3 holes on the serum pump.

Although the bottle is unique, I actually had quite a problem using the serum due to the bottle.

When I first use, there is only 1 transparent serum that came out of the pump. I tried pump a few time before the second white serum came out. But in the process, a lot of the first transparent serum is wasted. 

Using the serum for almost 1 month, still only 2 serum came out of the pump. Only few weeks after 1 month, the third yellowish serum came out. 

Therefore for almost one and a half month, I did not actually fully use triple serum. In the process did not really benefit fully from it. 

Press to dispense the 3 serum from the bottle.

The triple serum came in 3 different serum in 3 different texture. After mixing, they are actually not too oily to use and absorb very fast on my skin. 

3 different serum in 3 different texture.

After using for so long, it does keep my skin smooth and hydrated. 

However, from my own opinion, I don't think it is worth spending my money on it as it is quite expensive. Also, they are actually 3 different serum mix into one. With the problematic bottle, I don't think I will buy a new one after this bottle finished. 

But if you have the budget and wish to try, it is great to get them during sale. They do actually still helps to improve my skin condition. 

Where to buy it?

Lancome Renergie H.C.F. Triple Serum can be purchase from Lancome Beauty Counter, online store and department store at a retail price of S$235.

My Review

Taking care of our skin takes time and effort. If there is a device that makes your skin feels like finishing facial in just minutes, will you give it a try? 

Recently, I got my skin a new device: Skin Inc De-Age LED EMS Skin Booster. 

Skin Inc De-Age LED EMS Skin Booster.

This is not the first time I use Skin Inc devices.But it's the first time for skin booster device.

It comes pack in a box with one device and two 20ml serum tube. 

What is in the box.

The device came with a stand too.

Easy to keep.

Just squeeze the tube to dispense the serum from the middle of the tip of the tube.

I just need my skin to touch the tip of the tube and fingers to touch the side of the tube to activate the LED EMS.

Fingers to touch the side of the tube.

It is quite easy to use. But it needs some reading and trial the first time I use the device to get the hang of it. 

The device vibrate and light up (red light) when activated. 

I was actually shock by the needle-like feel when I first use the device. It feels like I am using a bundle of needles to poke my skin. But after a while, my skin got use to it and it actually feels good.

I really feel like doing facial at home and it only took me a few minutes to complete. 

Also I can already see little improvement after my first use. My skin is less puffy and skin feels tighten and lifted. 

Skin feels tightened at the side with application.

I have been using the device for around 2 months already. It is especially obvious when I smile. I can see that my skin feels lifted (around my jawline) and laugh lines minimized.

As for the eye area, It does help to minimize the puffiness. But I feel that it didn't help much for my dark circle and fine lines. 

Before and after use.

It says that the battery last for around 2 months. But I have been using pass that and the battery is still going strong. 

Overall, this is a great device to invest in. It does improve my skin condition and is easy to use. Budget wise, it is consider affordable in my opinion as I am getting 1 device and 2 tube of serum for the price of one.  

Where to buy it?

Skin Inc De-Age LED EMS Skin Booster (20ml x 2) can be purchase from Skin Inc official website, retail store, Lazada, Shopee, Sephora and Department Store. It is price at S$188 as of this writing.

Guest Post: Smartphone Photography Books Series for Beginners

Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Victor Lim, and I am an author of smartphone photography books from StuckOnUrban Studio. I would like to extend my gratitude to The Swanple for inviting me to write a guest post and introduce my books to her readers. 

As a token of my appreciation, I have created a special bundle discount on Google Books just for you. Pick 2 to get 10% off and 3 for 20%.

To date, I have written and published three smartphone photography books. My target audience includes everyone from total beginners to seasoned users looking for a refresher.

Book 1: Smartphone Photography: Total Workflow for Beginners

Camera phones now come with larger sensors and more advanced computational photography processing, are outperforming portable compact cameras and even entry-level DSLR or mirrorless cameras. 

There is currently a trend towards smartphone photography, with photography enthusiasts leaning towards their smartphones to capture special moments or any shots they need rather than carrying around heavy professional cameras all the time.

To begin, you will receive a comprehensive introduction to the fundamentals of photography, including essential information that anyone new to photography should be familiar with, such as what, why, and how. 

Furthermore, I will offer you valuable tips on how to elevate your photo composition skills, giving you a competitive edge over others. I will also equip you with the knowledge to edit your shots entirely on your smartphone and provide additional insights on industry-standard compositional techniques.

Our goal is to blur the distinction between photos captured by a professional camera and those taken by your smartphone, with the aim of eliciting the question, "Wow, which camera did you use to take this shot?”

Book 2: Lightroom Mobile: A Smartphone Photography Beginner's Guide to Editing and Color Grading

Times are changing. Big cameras may still be king, but smartphones are emerging as formidable contenders, thanks to rapid hardware evolution and impressive software algorithms. They're no longer just for basic snaps; they're capable of capturing stunning shots with remarkable ease and versatility.

As smartphones morph into multi-faceted tools, even photo editing, once the domain of PCs and Macs, is evolving. With powerful apps and intuitive interfaces, everyday people are unleashing their inner artist, transforming casual snaps into stunning creations.

I'm excited to introduce Adobe Lightroom Mobile. The PC or Mac version of Lightroom stands as one of the top choices for professional photo manipulation, and while the mobile version may not be as feature-packed as its desktop counterparts, it is more than sufficient to fulfill the needs for the three phases of the process cycle covered in this book. 

Adobe Lightroom Mobile is particularly well-suited for the post-editing and post-processing phases, making it an excellent tool also for color grading your photos. The color grading tools, as you will soon discover, specialize in their intended purposes, giving them an advantage over their competitors in terms of effectiveness and usability.

Book 3: 30 Tips to improve your Smartphone Photography

This book is a collection of techniques and tricks that I have personally used day in and day out for my photography, including smartphone photography. Some of these techniques you may have already encountered elsewhere, while others may be new to you. However, the important point is that by picking up this book, you are demonstrating your curiosity and eagerness to learn more about how different people approach photography. You can also use this opportunity to filter and absorb all the useful techniques for your own needs.

In this book, you will find techniques and tricks designed for use during composition and some of it for post production editing. These will help elevate your photos from ordinary shots to something that looks truly professional. You will also discover highly recommended hardware-related techniques and tricks, which are applicable even for smartphone photography.
