The shampoo and conditioner contain mango concentrate. I love to eat mango. :D So having mango concentrate in the shampoo and conditioner made me feel curious. It does contain a nice fruit smell but not exactly mango smell. :)

Nothing special about the shampoo. Its just a normal shampoo. After washing, hair is clean and does not tangle. 

I like the conditioner as it does not leave an oily feel. :D I have tried other conditioner that is difficult to wash off and leave an oily feel. But this Kéranove conditioner is easy to wash off and does not leave an oily feeling. 

After wash, hair is soft and smooth and does not tangle. Therefore its easy to blow dry and manage. :)

Review: NeoStrata Skin Active Intensive Eye Therapy

NeoStrata Intensive Eye Therapy (15g)
This week review is on NeoStrata Skin Active Intensive Eye Therapy. This is a sample given in the goodies bag of Cozycot Beauty Forum 2012 December.

This Intensive eye therapy does help to reduce my eye puffiness. Its odourless and not oily which is suitable for my oily sensitive skin. However, this product does not help in my dark circles at all. But overall, an effective product if you are looking for reducing eye puffiness product. 

NeoStrata Skin Active Intensive Eye Therapy Summary
From NeoStrata website: 

"This unique SynerG Formula 6.0 employs a multi-mechanistic approach to building and plumping the deep layers of the skin for exceptional results. Apple Stem Cell Extract protects the longevity of skin’s own stem cells so your skin behaves like younger skin. Peptides stimulate matrix components to produce more collagen, and together with patented NeoGlucosamine® reinforce collagen’s surrounding support structure. The eye area appears more lifted, and crow’s feet are smoothed from the inside out. NeoGlucosamine™ also inhibits a key enzyme in melanin formation, reducing the appearance of uneven pigmentation. Caffeine helps deflate puffiness under the eye, while hyaluronic acid acts as a natural moisture magnet. Vitamin E provides antioxidant benefits. The result is noticeably younger looking eyes. Fragrance-Free. Paraben-Free. Paba-Free. Ophthalmologist tested." 

On the bottle, it says it targets all key eye area concerns including sagging, puffiness, crow's feet and discoloration. 

This light-weight intensive gel eye care provides hydration and reverses signs of aging. Enriched with multiple potent anti-aging, anti-oxdiant and anti-puffiness ingredients.

You may go to NeoStrata website or NeoStrata Facebook Page for more information.

My Review
This is a sample given in the goodies bag of Cozycot Beauty Forum 2012 December.  

This eye gel came in a nice pump bottle. Its small and great to carry around. 

Easy to carry pump bottle.
The eye gel itself is a bit light yellowish in color. As usual, for eye products, I have always been looking for oil free product. This eye gel is odourless and not oily.
How the eye gel look like.
This product is say to target on all key eye area concern. But as I do not have crow feet, so no comment on that. 

I use it twice a day, once in the morning and once before I go to bed. This eye gel gave a warm sensation after apply on the eye area. I have been using this for quite sometime now. One bottle lasted for months. So its quite value for $$. :D

I have always been having late nights. But with the constant use of this product, I can see that my eye area is able to maintain its hydration. Its not at the tip top condition but its condition did not deteriorate. 

I can also see that my eye puffiness condition improved. :D But one thing I do notice is that it has no effect on dark eye circles. So maybe a bit inconvenient as I will need to use a second eye product to due with dark eye circles. :(

Months after used.
To conclude, this Intensive eye therapy does help to reduce my eye puffiness. Its odourless and not oily which is suitable for my oily sensitive skin. However, this product does not help in my dark circles at all. But overall, an effective product if you are looking for reducing eye puffiness product.

This week review is on Nivea Men Multi-Effect 8 Oil Control Cooling Volcanic Mud Foam. This is a sample redeem from Nivea SG Facebook page sometime back in 2013. 

I have given this mud form to my brother to use. After he used he felt that using the wrong amount of this mud form, the face will still feel oily. So he felt that you will have to be very generous and precise with the amount you use for this form in order to effectively have a clean and oil free face. With this troublesome and not cost-effective reason, he will not continue to use this Nivea Volcanic Mud form.

What is on the package.
My Review
This is a sample redeem from Nivea SG Facebook page sometime back in 2013.

This Nivea volcanic mud form is Grey or silver in color and have a muddy and non-soapy texture. 
How the Nivea Volcanic Mud Form looks like.
This is a men's product. Therefore I have given this mud form to my brother to use. The below is also what he felt after using it.

When wash, he felt that his face is oily. And after wash, he still felt that his face is oily and not deeply clean. :(

It really took him much effort to try different amount of this form to use in order to get the right amount to have an effectively clean and oil free face. 

After he gets the amount right (according to him, he need to use a lot), he do felt that his skin is smooth, clean and oil free. And the next day he wake up, the face remain oil -free. 

However, he felt the process very cumbersome and the great amount he need to use each time means that he will use up this form very fast. 

Apart from smooth, clean and oil free, the form did not improve his skin at all. The promises that this product stated is not fulfilled. :(

Forehead before used.
Forehead after used.
Over all, he felt that using the wrong amount of this mud form, the face will still feel oily. So he felt that you will have to be very generous and precise with the amount you use for this form in order to effectively have a clean and oil free face. With these troublesome, no improvement and not cost-effective reasons, he personally feel that will not continue to use this Nivea Volcanic Mud form.


Where to buy it?
This product can be bought at all major personal care stores such as Watsons and Guardian and supermarket. I saw that it is sold at S$8.70 at Guardian stores for 100g size.
