Next product I'm going to show you is one that I haven't quite used yet, probably I've only used it for 3 times, the reason is, it looked so cute that I'm quite feeling sorry if I used it all up. Anyway, as far as I am concerned the product is their best seller, that was what the korean sales lady was telling me since I don't have any idea what to purchase when I was there. So I took the bait and bought it. I was pleased with the product anyway. Inside the box, there are three things: essence, massage and cream. I've have really no idea on how to use it but apparently I came across one which tells me that you have to use it like: essence>>massage>>cream in that order. I've done that but I find that essence>>cream is aleady quite good and just use the massage cream like a sleeping mask or if you want you can put it on for 15 minutes before you wipe it off with a towel or tissue. It smells too flowery though but all in all, it left my face feeling smooth especially after using the massage cream as a sleeping mask. The only thing you need when you use it as a sleeping mask is you need to pad your pillow with used clothes or whichever because it's so sticky and you don't want your pillow to be sticky... right?
Another product review for Bio essence. I've noticed I became a fan of their skin care line because I really see the difference their product makes on my skin. This time, I'm reviewing Bio Essence Bird's Nest Nutri-Collagen and Whitening Sleeping Mask. This is such a nice product I'm telling you, it retails only for 25SGD. The cream is light and the smell is not overpowering like Etude House's Collagen Moistfull Massage cream. When you wake up after using this, you will notice that your skin is really soft, and I think it lightens up pimple scars.... well for me that is. Did not really notice any whitening effect, good thing because I only use it on my face and I don't want my face and neck to be of different color. As you can see from the picture, I have already used it half-way so I can really say that buying this is worth every penny you spend. This is definetely recommended buy.
Now this is the item that I rarely use anymore, I was quite excited when I bought this but then again, the difference is not a lot as I was expecting. This is Body Shop's Vitamin C capsules and skin booster. The Vitamin C Capsules you need to cut the tip and spread it to your face every night before you go to sleep. When you apply it, your skin immediately looks finer and softer. How I wish it would be like that until you wake up, but the thing is, when you wake up the magic is gone. The Skin booster I use it whenever I'm at home.. I use it like a serum before but sadly, its effect is the same with the capsules.. now, I don't really use it anymore. It's just sitting on my drawer. However, it might be good for you. It just was not good enough for me.
Okay, next one is Olay's Natural White SPF 30 UVA/UVB. I could say I'm not giving justice to this product because I'm only using it for my neck. Why my neck you ask? because my face cream, serum, etc. are already quite expensive and if I use it on my neck, I'll break my budget. So I just could not neglect my neck right? as they say, The first signs of aging shows at your neck. So to avoid premature aging, I needed something with good SPF and whitening effect to keep up with my face so here's the perfect product. The pump adds more hygiene and the cream is light and creamy and easily absorbed. My neck looks lovely by the way. :)
One of my favorite must buy. Bio Oil with PurCellin Oil. This product I use all over my body before going to work. As all of you who travelled inside the plane before you would all know how dry it can be up there so I use this before going to work, especially all over my legs before I put on my stockings. Boy, it made a LOT of difference! before, I just use a normal lotion before putting on my stockings but after like 7 hours flight or so, when I remove my stockings, my legs are so itchy from all the dryness! But since I've used this generously on all parts of my body, the dryness are gone! it retails around 10USD if you buy from South Africa where it originates from and that is already the 200ml bottle, but from what I've seen from Singapore, the smaller bottle around 60ml it retails 15SGD talk about mark UP! It claims to reduce stretch marks which I really haven't seen since I still have those on my bum, a few actually which ALL people have. But irregardless of stretchmarks or whatnot, the most important thing is it does not leave my skin dry when I fly plus, it makes my skin ultra soft.
For those people who just loves spraying their faces to refresh themselves, I would recommend Shu Uemura's Deep See Water Rose, very gentle on the skin with the promise of water that was taken somewhere in the deepest part of the sea to rejuvenate and refresh our face. There's a lot of scent but by far I love the Rose version of this. Keeps my face hydrated if need me and smells really nice, more of like a light rose-water. Retails around 25USD.
I know this blog is supposed to be all about skin care but I can't help but share a good find when I see one. This satchel is one of a must buy if you're into satchels. I bought it online at chicify.com for PHP1000. Quite expensive but very worth it, very spacious plus very cute. There's a lot of range of different color if you're not into pink, there's aqua, blue, etc... plus some of their items in the website are very cute. Delivery is quite prompt as well.

I came across this product Bio Essence 24K Bio Gold Perfect Brilliance Serum while walking through Watsons in Singapore. It was actually a great timing because I wanted to try a new serum because before I was only using Bio Essence Bio Cell Repair Rejuvenating Serum and I really wanted to try something new, not that my previous serum was not good.. but I am just curious on how this "bio gold" will be of help to skin. The price is a bit hefty if I remember correctly it was somewhere around 35SGD. Anyway, I've used it and I was quite pleased with the result, it was a clear liquid with a bit of gold which actually dissolves into your skin as you apply it. Quite fast absorption and I've noticed that my skin got fresher as time goes by. Will I buy it again if you ask me? well.. I will, if I have money to spare. :)
This product is from Etude House called Wonder Pore. I really have problems with pore, not in my whole face but on my nose. I'm the type of person who is really into pinching my nose to remove white heads/black heads and see where it got me, a fair share of bigger pores so I was really looking for a product which will tighten and clear it the same time. I bought this in South Korea where Etude prices are really way waaaay cheaper than any other country, not to mention Philippines. It costed me around 9USD for a 250ml bottle. Anyway, you cleanse your face and apply this like a toner... but it is not a toner so you have to apply your own toner afterwards. Just concentrate on putting this on to your bigger and more pronounced pores. I'm personally using it for 3 weeks now and it works like magic. Even my co-workers are telling me that I have no pores. Thank you Wonder Pore!
To accompany my success in reducing my pores, I'm presenting you Tony Moly's Egg Pore set, okay this is not the "complete" set of eggpore, I'm missing the last one which is more like a primer so I did not buy it.. I have no use for primers anyway, I don't even know what exactly is a primer. The packaging was so cute that's why it intrigued me, I first bought the brown one from Singapore for 15SGD on SALE because originally it was 25SGD only to know that in Korea I can buy it for 8USD only, I knew this fact because I bought the white eggpore in Korea... I was so dumbfounded on how they mark up the price. The first one on the left is a gel-type pore soap. You dampen your nose and then apply it, massage it in about a minute and then rinse it off. Completely dry your nose because you don't want your second step to be useless. After drying your nose, apply the next one which is a clay type applicator. Apply a generous amount of this on your nose and leave it for 15-20 minutes. You will see that it hardens and when it does, you can rinse it off. You wont see the results immediately though as they promoted but after 2 weeks of using it... it does tighen your pore, but I also had a lot of white heads, but then again after buying the Wonder Pore everything worked wonderPOREly, I know.. it's a bad joke. but oh well....
