My Review
I have used bubbling cleansing mask. But essence that will bubble?? This is the first time I heard of it. 

Thanks to 0.8L, I am able to experience this cute and unique essence. 

The essence came in a nice silver box. On it, there are QR Code and stickers to indicate it's authenticity, to put you at ease that this is the real product.

The Essence has a blue gel like texture. Once gently apply, bubble will form and then slowly burst into the skin. My skin actually feels so ticklish. But I must control myself not to use my fingers to scratch it.

Come check out the bubbling process from my video below. See the magic too. :)

After application, my skin looks instantly brighten up. It touches smooth too. I have been using it for quite sometime now. It does really improve my skin. It is much brighter and even looking.
Before and After.
Usually is around 40++% but it reads 53.5% when using this product.
One good news for all the lazy women out there, this is an all in one essence. I actually skip my moisturizer (toner and primer as well if you used them). My skin still feel supple the next day morning. 

But one thing to take note. If you have oily skin, be careful not to apply too much to the T-Zone area. Thin layer is good enough.
Overall, this essence really impressed me.
Overall, this essence really impressed me. I guess I will continue to use it tilled the last drop.

My skin is always lack of water. Therefore, anything with Hyaluronic Acid attracts my attention. 

Thanks to Try and Review, I was introduced to AHC Hyaluronic Toner. 

To be honest this is the first time I heard of this brand. So it is really a great opportunity for me to try them out. 

I was given a travel size AHC Hyaluronic Toner of 30ml.

Through the mini transparent bottle, the toner looks really like normal plain water to me. 

The toner by itself is light weight, non sticky, non oily and has a watery texture. Also doesn't contain any smell. (at least I cannot smell any) Usually toner with Hyaluronic Acid will be thicker and more sticky. But this toner touches really watery by itself.

Look at the extra essence left over in the pack of mask for you to use.
Me applying the mask.
But seems like my problem skin is slow in absorbing the essence during the 10 mins of application. But as Dr. Jou shared, you need to drink more water in your daily lifestyle in order for your skin to be able to quickly and well absorb any kind of products you apply. Well, seem like I must start to drink more water. :)
Before and After moisture test.
Apart from taking care of our skin, our stomach is taken care of too. Nice little fingers foods from the hotel.

Review: Blackmores Natural Vitamin E Cream + Lanolin

Blackmores Natural Vitamin E Cream + Lanolin (50g)
When you come across the brand Blackmores, the first thing that comes to your mind is supplement pills? Do you know that, Blackmores have moisturizing cream as well?

Come join me in discovering Blackmores Natural Vitamin E Cream + Lanolin.

At first, I am a little skeptical. Because it comes with a thick cream texture, I am afraid it will cause outbreak to my skin. But after using them for almost 2 weeks now, it does helps to maintain my skin moisture. It is especially great to keep my skin moisturize overnight in air-con room.

My Review
Blackmores vitamin E cream!!! Blackmores got skin care products too?? Yes...this is my first reaction when I get hold to this Blackmores Natural Vitamin E Cream + Lanolin. Because I always thought Blackmores only sells supplements. 

So it got me surprise and curious about this skin care product. 

First look at their packaging, it looks more like a toothpaste to me.

It has a thick cream texture. No fragrance smell too. 
Thick cream texture.
Easy to press tube.
At first, I am a little skeptical. Because it comes with a thick cream texture. Therefore, I use it as my hand and body cream. Works well especially on the dry elbow area.

And I also realize although it is thick, it is not really oily at all. 

Using it as a day moisturizer on my face is still too much for my skin. But I realize it can be used as my moisturizer before bedtime. Especially so when I sleep in air-con room almost everyday. 
Great as a body and hand lotion as well as a night moisturizer.
Having been using it for 2 weeks now, it does help to maintain my skin moisture. I now wake up with my skin still feeling supple, not too oily or too dry.

Where to buy it?
It is retailing for a price of S$19 per tube. Should be able to get it from the Blackmores flagship store in Parkway Parade. Saw it selling at Lazada online store too. 

Where to redeem sample?
No samples at the moment for this product. :(

Brown in color. Not thick in texture.
Ok, this is the first time I do not quite like the taste of Kinohimitus drink. Not sure why but it taste very herbal to me. Can't really make do the taste but it is somewhere sweet with a hint of mint. Very funny combination of taste all mix together that do not really blend. 😕

I have by now finished the whole box of stem cell drink. However, sad to say, I did not see any major improvement. Small maintenance maybe. My skin is less oily, in turn reduce blemish grow.
Before and after.
