Product Description

Tony Moly Collagen gel eye mask is developed with skin smoothing, highly concentrated vegetable collagen and Q10 ingredient to revitalize skin elasticity and suppleness. The eye mask transfers intensive hydration to the inner levels of the skin to reduce the visible signs of fine lines and wrinkles. It inhibit oxidizing effect and gives resilience to your sensitive eye areas. This spa quality eye mask provides professional skin care as well as a relaxing experience in the privacy of your home.

I bought 10 sheets in Korea at an affordable price as compared to Singapore. It has a gum scent which is typical of most of the eye masks in the market. Its not a scent which I quite like but so long if the eye mask does deliver its nutrients and benefits, I believe I can bear with it.

It has a clampshell packaging and each pair of the eye masks is slightly moist, giving a refreshing feel to the undereye area. However, its also slippery and slide down easily on the undereye area.
I can see no benefits, from the 10 masks usage.

I got the travel kit for US$16 via drugstore.com purchase from USA.It consists of the body wash, body lotion, shampoo and conditioner but I will just be reviewing the body wash today.
I have brought it along for my Japan trip and its almost completely used up.
Full of antioxidant benefits, there is nothing much to hate about for this body wash.
It has a light citrus scent which is uplifting to the senses and lathers pretty well to provide a good wash for the body.
I really like this very much, if only its not that expensive in Sephora Singapore.

 

Review : Beauty Credit Red Wine Essential Cotton Mask

Product Description
Red wine contains resveratrol and polyphenol, believed to be able to neutralise free radicals that attack healthy cells, and have anti-inflammatory properties.
It also contains skin-firming polyphenol helping the pore to maintain a healthy-lookingby deliveringmoisture deep inside and resilience to the outer skin.


Made of 100% cotton hypoallergenic mask, I bought 5 sheets when I was in Hong Kong for about $2 per piece. Much affordable than in Singapore.
As what the name implies, the sheet mask is heavily scented with red wine fragrance. Initially, I was hesitant in trying out this mask as I was told by a promoter before ( not from Beauty Credit) that red wine flavoured mask are usually not recommended for those with sensitive skin.
 
After using these sheet masks over the past 2 weeks, I am glad to say that I have not developed any allergies or breakouts from it. The fragrance is abit too strong for me though. I also did not notice any significant difference to my skin when I used it too. No firming, no radiance.
 

Review : Bioglo Lifting & Moisturising Toning Mist

Product Description
A toning mist so refreshing, you will look forward to spritzing! Never sticky or greasy, this alcohol-free toning spray provides instant hydration and continuous moisture to your skin. Special ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid, ceramides and Moist 24™ help skin stay plumped-up and radiant the whole day, providing round-the -clock hydration to skin. Contains Hexapeptide and hydrolyzed elastin to help smoothen out fine lines and lift sagging skin. Keeps skin soft and fully hydrated. Primes skin for make-up  Ideal for refreshing make up too.

Dehydrated skin causes your complexion to appear dull, dark and uneven toned. It is also more sensitive and more susceptible to fine lines and wrinkles, so it ages more rapidly!

Hyaluronic Acid (HA) "plumps" up collapsed skin structure, increases skin smoothness, soften fine lines and wrinkles. Improved skin hydration can actually make skin appear faired and more evenly toned!

It was found that a Japanese population from the Yuzuri Hara village have unbelievable wrinkle-free, smooth, unblemished skin well into their 80s. Their secret? Hyaluronic Acid!

Hence, I am always on the lookout for products with HA.

I usually purchase my Bioglo products via a colleague who is a member of its network, hence able to get the products at a cheaper rate.
However, according to this price list, it seems that it costs much cheaper in Malaysia. I have to re-think of getting the products from Malaysia next time then.

This 50ml spray used up pretty fast once I got hold of it. Having brought it along on my 8days trip, its already 50% used up. It was proven to be the best choice I ever chose. This spray is handy and portable to bring it around. I have flaky skin on my first 2 days in Osaka and this spray helped my skin tremendously. It soothe my skin and hydrates it - my flakiness disappeared immediately, making my make-up stayed on well.
I really love this spray and I believe its going to be a staple in my skincare kit.

Another way which I used it, is to spray generously on a tissue paper ( cotton pads are also fine )and then press and hold on to the dehydrated areas for a few minutes. The flakiness disappeared and my make-up hardly accentuate it. What a gem this toning mist is!

There was not much of a scent and the mist does not came out in a fine mist but rather in spritz form, hence may hurt the skin if used too much force on the spray. Its not damaging but I think a fine mist would be more gentle on the skin.

Ingredients:
Water, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Sodium PCA, Hyaluronlc Acid, Hydrolysed elastin, Moist 24™ (Imperata Cylindrica Root Extract, Glycerin, PEG-8, Carbomer), Ceramide 2, Acetyl Hexapeptide-3, Dipotassum Glyoyrrhizate, Rosa Damascena (Rose) Extract, PPG-28, Polysorbate 20, Propylene Glycol

Review : 100% Pure Pink Champagne Sugar Scrub

Product Description
100% Natural, 100% Vegan and Gluten free, this sparkling pink champagne body scrub will leave your entire body smooth and silky soft. Infused with vitamins, antioxidants and nourishing fruit oils to keep your skin moisturized and healthy. Fruit acids make skin healthy and glowing. Truly, 100% Pure - no synthetic chemicals, no artificial fragrances, no chemical preservatives or anything else not 100% Pure.

This was the last of the 2 scrubs I bought from Creme Parlour way back in June. You can read about more about the Mocha scrub here . This was highly recomended from the lady who owned Creme Parlour because of its fragrance. And true enough, it does smell heavenly. I love it initially but as time grew, I started to feel that the fragrance is too overwheming for me.
Pink sugar beads and liquid are mixed in the 6oz/170g tub. If you scoop up more liquid than the sugar beads, you will end up with a stronger layer of "moisturisng veil" on the body. I made the mistake once and I absolutely hated it. My body felt greasy and unclean.
So the right way is to scoop more beads than the liquid which is just nice enough for some people. However, it still does leave a "veil" on the body which I do not really appreciate. The sugar scrubs, in my opinion, is still too coarse for my delicate skin.
However, during the scrub, I do notice there is a glistening shine on the skin. After the scrub, skin does feel smooth and glowy to the touch.

In Singapore, you can get it from Bud Cosmetics , Purity Cosmetics and Creme Parlour but the prices vary, so do your homework first.
