Review : Color Combos, Combos Skin Bio-Cellulose Circle Diminishing Google Patch

Product Description
This Bio-Cellulose special care mask has excellent, comfortable and eco-friendly adhesion derived from fermented coconut juice. The mask itself can absorb and deliver the vital essences more effectively, for superior treatment results.
Blended with lotus extract and vitamin B3, these patches help impart a more even-looking skin tone to transform the eyes instantly. Provides draining and lightening, leaving the eye area brighter with diminished dark circles. It also helps the skin remain hydrated and minimizes wrinkles and frown lines. Enriched with green tea and lavender extracts for skin calming and a feeling of wellbeing.

I purchased a piece of Combos Skin Bio-Cellulose Circle Diminishing Google Patch from Sasa in Komtar, Johor Bahru several weeks ago. There was a promotion of 3 pieces for RM10, so I bought another one for the neck and another one for the laugh lines.

Review : Petitfee Gold EGF Eye Patch

Product Description
Petitfee Gold EGF Eye Patch contains pure gold powder which balances and normalizes the movement of ions in the skin and helps achieve brighter and firmer skin. It keeps the skin healthy with its premium ingredients like Aloe Vera, Ginseng and Caviar. It heals and soothes troubled skin.

Gold is said to relieve, eliminate waste, detoxify, purify and improve blood circulation. With the weak electric currents flowing inside the human body, relating to positive and negative ions, pure gold is said to normalize the movement of ions to activate blood circulation with cell regeneration function. Petitfee Gold EGF Eye Patch contains 0.0003% gold, so I am not sure if its indeed effective, with that amount.

EGF ( Epidermal Growth Factor ) regulates cell growth and is said to help epidermal cells absorb nutrition and accelerate cell metabolism. It also helps in preventing skin aging and diminishing wrinkles.

I purchased a tub of Petitfee Gold EGF Eye Patch for 7000won on Testerkorea previously, together with an assortment of other items which costs me $15 for international shipping. In Singapore, one tub is selling for $24 in departmental stores.

Review : Yves Rocher Hair Repair Oil

Product Description
Discover this genuine exceptional treatment! Enriched with restorative Babassu Oil and Macadamia Oil to nourish the scalp, this concentrate of rich oils offers strength to the hair.
Result: the hair is ultra soft and shiny. Paraben free, colorant free, silicone free

Yves Rocher came back to Singapore with a revamp and prices seem more affordable. There are always some discounts going on and I managed to snag this Yves Rocher Hair Repair Oil for $14 instead of the original $20 during the last Great Singapore Sale. 

This 150ml honey coloured contents, stored in a plastic bottle, with a twist and turn cap can lasts for a while, if you follow the recommended instruction by using it twice a week. I am not sure why it is supposed to be used only twice a week as I don't feel that the oil is deeply intense enough to be used that way. However, the promoter told me I can use it every day if I want to.

Quick & Effective Beauty Hacks Every Woman Should Know

#1 Stash your moisturisers in the fridge for depuffing

Cooling your moisturiser and eye creams in the fridge is great for dealing with a puffy face in the mornings, and give you a temporary tightening effect.

#2 Fill the gaps between your lashes

If falsies and mascara aren’t your thing but you still want to make your eyelashes look fuller, filling in the spaces right between the roots of your lashes (not above the lashes) with an eyeliner will make them look thicker and fuller. You should pick a shade as close to your lashes as possible, so avoid the blackest of black eyeliner and opt for a more natural brown black instead.

Review : Estetica VitaLift A+Brillage Face Mask

Product Description
Bio-cellulose mask with high penetrative ability to restore skin's youthful radiance and luminosity

Key Ingredients :

Bifida Ferment Lysate - a DNA repairing agent

Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 - which has anti-wrinkle and anti-ageing properties

Sodium Hyaluronate - replenishes and locks in moisture

Syn-Hycan - boosts hyaluronic acid (HA) and production increases levels of two important proteins which improve the quality and strength of collagen fibres

Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5 - a deep penetrating peptide that is able to activate skin’s tissue growth factor that stimulates collagen synthesis, resulting in a reduction of the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. This is the natural alternative to collagen injections

Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate - a skin-lightening agent and potent antioxidant proven to suppress melanin formation and reduce hyper-pigmentation and UV- induced inflammation. Overall, it boosts collagen synthesis and enhances cell repair and regeneration

VitaLift A+ Brillage Nano-Biocellulose Face Mask is soaked in a cocktail of active ingredients to deliver multiple benefits to your skin. Made of nano-grade organic fibres, the mask fits snugly on your skin to allow maximum penetration for greater efficacy. It aids in cellular repair and has amazing anti-ageing, whitening and moisturizing results with significant reduction in wrinkle formation and skin sagging, the 2 most visible signs of ageing.

I received a sheet of the VitaLift A+Brillage Face Mask as part of its door gift after attending a paid seminar from Estetica. A pack of 6 sheets cost $98 which is way out of my budget so am glad that I get to try it out, 2 days before helping out at a friend's wedding. I need to look good too, so what better way is there than to pamper myself with Estetica's bestselling mask sheet?
