The Odbo Aqua Soothing Silky Essence (80ml)

Most of you would find The Odbo brand familiar if you have went on a tour to South Korea. Because the tour agency would definitely have bring you to buy their products. I have bought The Odbo Aqua Soothing Silky Essence for my mum to use during a tour few years ago.

To backdate, my mum who used it loved that it makes her skin really hydrated and smooth. Two things she like most is that the essence is not sticky and also very convenient. It improved her skin too.

Come check out below what she had to say.

My Review
This The Odbo silky essence was bought during one of my trip to Korea few years back. The review have been sitting in my PC for a long time. As my mum really praises a lot on this product. I find that I must write about it to share with everybody. 

The Odbo should be a familiar brand for those who have traveled to Korea. Because the tour guide will definitely bring you to listen and buy this brand's products. 

I must say their products are not cheap at all. But since I travel so far and they did a great job during the demo to convince me, I bought their Aqua Soothing Silky Essence for my mum to use. 

The main reason my mum approved me to buy for her is because it is an all-in-one product. That is, it is a toner, an essence and a moisturizer at the same time. So lazy mum feels so happy because all she need is just this one bottle and she is ready to go. 

The essence came in a very classy bottle. Looks to me like an expensive product just by looking at the bottle.

It is quite easy to use it too. Just pump an appropriate amount and apply on your skin.

The essence comes in a white gel like texture. And it is not sticky at all.

White gel-like texture.

The gel like texture will turn into water droplets after you massage and tap the essence on your skin. Your skin will then absorb the essence easily.

Gel turns into water droplets.

My mum told me that her skin feels cooling, smooth and hydrated after application. 

And during the period where she use this product, her friends have been asking her what product she is using as they see her skin smoother and brighten. 

Together with the convenient of all-in-one benefit, she really loved this product a lot. 

So I think those who loved using just one bottle for everything, you should try this product. And if you have the chance to go Korea with tour, remember to get this as they are really cheaper there.

Review: DrGL Moisturiser Anti-Aging (Face/Body)

DrGL Moisturiser Anti-Aging (Face/Body) (50ml)

Anti Aging starts from young. Few months ago, I tried DrGL Moisturiser Anti-Aging. 

This moisturiser is non sticky and has a gel like texture. But it does not suit my combination acne prone skin.

Directions and ingredients.

My Review
Anti aging does not begin only when it start appearing on the skin. It should begin from young before it start appearing. 

Few months ago, I tried DrGL Moisturiser Anti-Aging (Face/Body). 

This moisturiser is packed in a nice green bottle. Just like any other DrGL products. 

Packed in a green 50ml bottle.

The moisturiser can be easily pump out by pressing the "button" on the bottle.

Hole that dispense the moisturiser.

Button to press and dispense the moisturiser.

The moisturiser has a gel like texture that is not sticky. Feels a little oily to me.

How the moisturiser look like.

After apply for sometime, I realise my t-zone area started to have blemish. But I continue to apply as I didnt realise it is caused by this moisturiser. Until one day I totally stop. Then the blemish started to slowly go away. 

I have since given this product to my mum. I think her skin condition suits this product more. 

All in all, I have learnt that not all anti aging product is suitable for all skin type even for brand that I have trusted. I must learn to check if it's too greasy for my combination acne prone skin at all times.

Personally, I think that if you have dryer skin condition, then u may give this product a try.

Where to buy it?
This DrGL Moisturiser Anti Aging product can be bought from DrGL Online Store for S$128 (50ml)

The shampoo and conditioner came in a nice white and pink bottle. Fits the detox nourishment range where it contains pink salt.

Not only the bottle and ingredient is pink. The shampoo is pink in color as well and has a gel like texture. It is lightweight and has a light perfume like scent.

Open cap and squeeze the shampoo out.

The conditioner on the other hand has a white creamy texture. However, it is not greasy at all. At least it does not leave my bath room floor greasy after using. 

Open cap and squeeze the conditioner out.

White cream texture for conditioner.

My hair is really long and troublesome. My scalp is oily but my mid-hair to hair end is always dry and tangled. Very difficult to manage. Most shampoo I use is only able to keep my scalp clean and non greasy but unable to solve my dry and tangled hair end.

So I am really impressed that this Dove Detox Nourishment Shampoo and Conditioner is able to improve my dry hair end while keeping my scalp clean and non greasy at the same time after only my first wash.

Before using Dove Shampoo and Conditioner.

After using for the first time.

It keeps my hair soft, smooth and easy to comb and manage. It last even overnight in an air con room.

I am really glad that now I am able to keep my oily scalp clean without drying my hair end.

My Review
Last month, I added something new to my regular skincare regiment. It's the 6 Effector Soft Marine Water Essence from Us On Earth.This is the first time I heard of Us On Earth. 

My first impression is that the packaging and bottle look very environmental friendly and simple to me. 

Bottle look environmental friendly.

The essence has a watery texture that is non greasy, transparent and no smell.

Watery and non greasy texture.

It is easy to apply and absorbed by my skin.

I have been using it for sometime now. It does make my skin really moisturizing and ready for other skin care application just after used. 

But I can't be sure about its whitening, wrinkle and repair benefit as I do not see any different in these area even after using it for weeks. 

This is a not too bad try product for me. If you are looking to moisturize your skin, you can give this a try.

Review: Sushi Delivery Singapore - Delicious Japanese Food

Sushi Delivery Singapore

Singapore is a food paradise. Here, you can find delicious food from all over the world. But for me, Japanese food especially sushi, is my favorite. Do you like Japanese food too? Then You will definitely love what I am about to share with you. 

Apart from taking care of our health, taking care of our stomach is equally important. With Sushi Delivery Singapore, you can now enjoy restaurant quality Japanese food at the comfort of your home. 

I had the chance to try their sushi and I really love them. Check out what I have to say below. 

About Sushi Delivery Singapore
Sushi Delivery Singapore is the first restaurant prepared sushi delivery service in Singapore. They aims to provide fresh sushi straight to your doorstep.

They provide a wide range of Japanese food: 

• Sashimi and Sushi

Their fish are sourced daily from Osaka and Hokkaido, then air-frown to Singapore within 18 hours to ensure freshness.

My Review
Yum Yum Yum!!! Who can resist Japanese food? Especially Sushi. 

Last Saturday afternoon, I received a bag with 4 types of sushi and 1 appetizer from Sushi Delivery Singapore. Delivery details are written nicely too on the bag.

Delivery came nicely packed.

Each type of sushi and appetizer are nicely packed and labelled. What I like most is that they are very generous with the wasabi and soy sauce. More that what I needed. Also, the packed container looks really beautiful and presentable to me.

Foods are packed nicely.

Generous amount of sauces given.

All the sushi and appetizer looks so delicious and attractive especially the container holding the Mango Maki.

Delicious and attractive Sushi and Appetizer.

So how do they taste? Let me feed your eyes starting with the appetizer. 

Yam Net Sponge Roll (5 pieces)
Crispy vermicelli on the outside wrapping a generous amount of sweet potatoes paste inside.

Yam Net Sponge Roll (5 pieces)

The Yam Net Sponge Roll is still hot when it is delivered to me. The net on the outside is really very crispy. Even when placed on the table for sometime, it is still crispy.

Crispy Vermicelli on the outside and sweet potatoes paste inside.

The roll is not greasy at all. Also, it is full of rich, sweet and fragrance sweet potatoes taste. Those sweet potatoes fans out there will surely love this roll. 

How the inside looks like.

The vermicelli net on the outside balance the sweet taste so it does not feel too tired after eating. But for an appetizer, I personally feel that it is too much. The amount look more like a main dish to me. 😁

Tamago Maki (1 Roll)
Simple sushi rice roll with tamago (Egg). 

Tamago Maki (1 Roll)

I must say that I really love the sushi rice from Sushi Delivery Singapore. They are very fragrance. Rich in sushi vinegar taste and just perfect for this simple Tamago Maki.

In Between my bites, I can taste the light tamago sweetness. Not too sweet thanks to the sushi rice's fragrance.

The size of the Maki makes it a perfect snack for tea break or even when you are watching your movies and drama series.   

Salmon Maki (1 Roll)
Simple sushi rice roll with salmon. 

Salmon Maki (1 Roll)

Same as the Tamago Maki, the rice is very fragrance. Salmon is fresh as well. 

However for sashimi lovers, they may find it no kick as before they are able to taste the salmon, its already inside their stomach. (Never mind, sashimi lovers can always order their sashimi set 😁) But those who are afraid to eat sashimi can give this a try though. I try it on my mom and she is able to accept it. :) Good starter for sashimi beginner.

Mango Maki (8 Pieces)
Sushi Roll with cucumber and Unagi inside, wrapped with Mango on top that is dressed with mayonnaise and tobiko (fish roe).

Mango Maki (8 Pieces)

I love anything with mango. Therefore of all the sushi here, mango maki is the first one that catch my attention.

The maki contain mango fragrance taste that is not too overwhelming. In between bites, I am able to burst the fish roe. And also the crunchy cucumber makes the mango maki refreshing. 

Cucumber and unagi inside the mango maki.

Unfortunately, I can't taste the unagi that is in the maki. 

But overall, all the ingredients blend well with each other. The aftertaste of the mango makes me want to pop more mango maki into my mouth. 

Taiyou Century Egg Maki (8 Pieces)
Sushi roll with cucumber, tamago and Crab meat on the inside, drizzled with sauces made from century egg yolk, topped with chopped century egg, tobiko roes and spring onions. 

Taiyou Century Egg Maki (8 Pieces)

Century egg on sushi??? I am really very curious about this maki. Because after all, century egg produce this mud aftertaste when eating alone. So how does it fair putting them into sushi?? 

Well, to me, after tasting it, I find them surprisingly delicious. The sauce made with century egg yolk is well done and well balanced without any mud aftertaste. It is not too heavy. It is really hard to describe how the sauce taste like but to me, it is a very special and new sauce. 

Drizzed with sauce made from century egg yolk.

The fish roes and cucumber adds to the refreshing feeling of the maki. No mud taste from the century egg on top either. The whole maki taste sweet and refreshing.

Cannot lay my hands off the sushi.

Overall, the sushi and appetizer taste really delicious and refreshing. It is great for parties too as the sushi came very presentable and tasty. I like the sushi rice especially. It taste more fragrance than the usual once I had.

Which one do I like best from the above? Well, I thought I will like the mango maki best given how much I love mango. But surprisingly, the Taiyou Century Egg Maki left such a special and delicious taste to me that I cannot stop thinking about it. So for the first time, century egg wins mango here. 😅

For those who love to try fusion maki, I think mango maki and taiyou century egg maki will be what you are looking for. Not to worry too for those who love traditional maki as they do have simple single ingredient bite size maki for you.
