EXCITING NEWS GUYS!!!! I recently bought some bottles of thermal water to try out and I.FREAKING.LOVE.IT! The two brands that I’ve tried are the Avene Thermal Spring Water and Vichy Thermal Spa Water. I heard that Uriage makes really good ones too. I’ve used them around 3 weeks and I seriously swear by thermal water now. I’m currently working on the reviews where I will be comparing both so do stay tune for that.

I went to Clementi’s Watsons today and found out that Vichy is having a sale on Vichy Thermal Spa Water. 1 bottle (150ml) originally retails at SGD$19.80 and now *alert alert* is on sale for 2 bottles at SGD$14.80!! Amazing or what? It is crazy; one bottle cost only $7+! 

Amazingly Avene is also having a buy one get one free promotion. So I went ahead and bought a set too. The original price for Avene Thermal Spring Water 150ml bottle costs SGD$20.80 and now it costs $20.80 for 2 bottles.

I bought both during different times, hence there are 2 receipts 

This is a freaking good deal and I have to share it with you guys. So do go down to your nearby Watsons and grab them now! I paid everything with my own cash. Also, sorry for the blurry pictures, I wanted to get this post up asap so you guys have more time to go buy them.

Love,

Review for Acne Clear Pimple Treatment Cream

Review for Acne Clear Pimple Treatment Cream

Hey babes! My exams are finally OVER!! So I’m back for another review on the Acne Clear Pimple Treatment Cream from my haul which you can read it here. As we all hate acne, oh yes we do, this pimple cream promise to kills acne bacteria, unblocks oily pores and dries up pimples. It is a non-oily skin colour formula, but trust me, you don’t wanna go out with this on your face. The ‘skin-colour’ is way too stark orange and not blendable at all. I use it when I’m staying at home or at night. 

The colour is similar to Oxy’s skin-colour pimple treatment cream, the concealer one (*bad memory). Compared to the Oxy pimple cream, the texture of this is much ‘harder’ and less watery. The texture is very similar to Proactiv’s Refining mask, the consistency and even the way it hardens.

*Picture below is an idea of how the cream will look like on the face

Pros: 

As much as I want to say that this is a Holy Grail product, it is not. L The drying process takes around 3 - 4 days so it does take time. The pimple cream still works though, just not a wonder. Compared to other acne treatments like the Clearasil, Thursday Plantation’s Tea Tree Oil, Clinique Anti-Blemish Solutions, Neutrogena on-the-spot acne treatment and other pimple creams which I own; I gotta say this is one of the best. And ironically, this acne clear pimple treatment is the cheapest out of all the creams. It is ridiculously cheap and so underrated, hardly anyone knows about it. There are not many reviews about it too. 

The packaging comes in an aluminum squeeze tube, super easy to get product out, hygienic and does not contain any fragrance. It is suitable for people with sensitive skin as it is not harsh on the skin. I did not experience any irritation or flaking of skin. I use my HG moisturizer which is my Jorubi AloeVera Gel and it help greatly with any minor flakiness. A lot of product, definitely value for money. Also, compared to Proactiv’s Refining Mask which is a bitch to remove/wash off, the Acne Clear treatment washes away much more easily.

  

Cons:

No instant results which is fine for a SGD$4.00 product. When I bought it I did not expect much result too. When I apply this onto my ‘laughing lines’ (areas on faces where it folds when laugh) it cracks and flakes off but it doesn’t irk me as I can always reapply again. I didn’t notice any unblocking of pores or clearing of blackheads so meh about that. 

Similarly to the Proactiv’s Refining Mask, after it hardens it forms a mask that adheres to the face and is quite hard to remove. When washing off the cream, I soak the area with warm water and gently rub in circular motions to dissolve it.

Yadda Yadda:

Will I repurchase? Yes, for the price I do think that it works pretty well. I paid SGD$4.00 at my nearby Watsons store. Net Weight: 15g. I do highly recommend this product, super cheap and easy to use. Do give it a try and share with me if it works for you! 

Packaging: 4/5

Price: 5/5

Effectiveness: 3.5/5

Overall rating: 4.5/5 

A/N: Also, I just wanna thank all of you guys who read my blog. I notice an increase in views and am really thankful for all the support. I will continue to post more often with more interesting content to satisfy your beauty needs! Thank you babes!

Review for Mandom Cleansing Express

Review for Mandom Cleansing Express

Hail to the Holy Grail make up remover! Mandom Cleansing Express is a Japanese brand makeup remover and comes in 3 formulas to suit different skin types- Oily skin, dry skin and for aging skin. I have to say…this stuff is AWESOME! In the past I used to use the one for oily skin, because I have combination skin but I switched to the one for dry skin so as to retain more moisture and oil in my skin. 

I’m not lying when I say that I am a big fan! There are a few more empty bottles that i gave my mum to put handsoaps and stuff.

 

 

 

 

  

Ingredients (below)

Pros:

This makeup remover is great at removing makeup. It is water-based so less irritation to the skin. The solution did not break me out or cause any irritation to my skin at all. The solution for dry skin does not strip out my face of its natural oils so you can actually feel that your face is more moisturized compare to the solution for dry skin where after using it your face feels smooth and powder-dry. I will recommend using the solution for oily skin if you have really oily skin (if it makes sense) and the dry formula for people with combination skin. 

Both solutions work exactly the same, cleanses face of any traces of makeup. This solution does not leave a film over your face which I read that some makeup removers do. It feels really clean and the face does not feel tight or uncomfortable after using it. Bottle contains a large amount of solution that can last me around 3 months using it 4-5 days a week. I have not tried the formula for aging skin so I am not able to review or compare it. Comes in a pump bottle therefore hygienic. The bottle is extremely pretty! (Seen in the pictures above), the design on the green bottle (for oily skin) is my favourite.

Cons:

The pump is a problem because the solution squirts everywhere and can be quite messy (that’s what she said LOL). However, I think they changed the pump and it is not as bad as before, but do take note of the pump as it can be quite problematic. And if you thought you got a defective pump, don’t worry they all work the same. The effectiveness of the solution overweighs the faulty-like pump so it doesn’t really bother me and I’m used to it too. There is less precision control in the amount of product coming out too so do take note. 

Directions:

This is how I do it, may not be the right way but it works for me. I pump 2-3 pumps of solution onto a clean cotton pad then press it on my eyeliner for 10 seconds before rubbing it off. Eyeshadow is able to come off immediately. For eyelash glue and mascara, hold it for around 20 seconds.  To remove makeup on face, I wet the cotton pad with the solution and gently rub it all over my face. I continue removing my makeup till cotton pad has no/slight traces of makeup left. I always use 4 or 5 cotton pads for my whole face.

 

Yadda Yadda:

Mandom Cleasing Express is available at Watsons stores at S$16.90 for 300ml of solution. I paid S$16.90 for the product. Will I repurchase? Yes! Totally worth every cent I paid. I strongly recommend this product so go check it out guys! Share your thoughts on it; did it work as effectively on you as it did for me? Rating: 4.5/5 stars.

Love,

Mini LA Girl Haul + People’s Park OCEAN store chitchat!

Mini LA Girl Haul + People’s Park OCEAN store chitchat!

Yesterday I had nothing to do and was really bored at home. So I tagged along with my mum and she drove us to People’s Park around Chinatown where everyday supplies are really cheap there. I bought my LA Girl cosmetics at this shop called OCEAN. If I am not wrong it is at level 3. Stuffs there are pretty cheap! The building is beside OG and had the big PEOPLE’s PARK sign on it.

The shop also carries VOV products. VOV is a famous Korean cosmetic brand, similar to nature republic, etude house, the face shop, etc. Their VOV products range around SGD$7.90 for a lipliner to SGD$22 for a lipgloss. I didn’t take much notice of the foundation because there were SO many people and their display of cosmetics is quite messy.

BUT! BUT! BUTT! I noticed something strange there! I saw that they sell the Skin 79 Beblesh Balm Hot Pink at the store and that caught my attention. I took it up and the pump was all weird and the prints on the bottle were all faded and messed up. The first thought that came into my head was that it was a fake one because I’m using the same BB cream and the pump does NOT look like that! It cost SGD$35.90 so do be careful of the products you are buying there and beware of fake cosmetics/skin care products.

Okay onto LA Girl cosmetics, quite a large range, I checked the expiry date of the cosmetics and it was good. Below are the products I bought.

Couldn't decide between the two pictures so i'll just upload two >.<

BOO! Only 2 items?! Yeah. As I said earlier my mum was with me so I couldn’t spend like 50 bucks on cosmetics. I bought a watch earlier too so I was kinda tight on budget. The lipstick I bought was LC536 Secret Admirer and BL554 Blushing for blush. The blush looks more baby pink than in photos, the shade is similar to the shade of the lipstick but less bright. I heard that the lipstick Secret Admirer was a really cute baby pink shade so I bought it but I swatched it and it looks more like a candy pink shade. Product reviews will be done as soon as I have time to test and try out. The blush was kind of an impulse purchase but hey, there’s no such thing as too much makeup yea?

I wanted to post this haul for you guys because the price is soooooo GOD DAMN appealing!!! The Lipstick was SGD$10 and the blush was SGD$15. I was like WHUTTTT! I’m pretty sure the last time I saw the lipstick prices at Guardian Pharmacies they were like SGD$19.90 each. Crazy, isn’t it? Then I went to the cashier to pay and it came out to be SGD$21! HOMG there’s even a discount! The Lipstick was SGD$8 and the blusher was SGD$12 after the discount. What a deal!

I checked the authenticity of the LA Girls but I can’t find any information on fake LA Girls cosmetics so I’m guessing it’s real? I know LA Girl is an inexpensive cosmetic brand so I presume it is logical for the cheap price. But all in all, I will use in caution and update you guys on the products and maybe write a review on them.

Have you guys been to people’s park before? I’m going back to snag some VOV lipliners. Any cheap cosmetics you’ve found? Share with me your thoughts! Sorry for the long nagging post…570 words! GEEZUS!

Review for Rimmel Vinyl Gloss in 111 Demure, 112 Steal My Kisses and113 Mischief

Review for Rimmel Vinyl Gloss

On the recent trip to Watsons, I picked up a few Rimmel lip glosses that were on 20% discount. The three Vinyl Glosses I picked were in shades 111 Demure, 112 Steal My Kisses and 113 Mischief. The lip glosses are applicator form for easy navigation of product onto lips.



Left to Right: Demure, Steal My Kisses, Mischief (below)

Left to Right: Demure, Steal My Kisses, Mischief (below)

Lipgloss Applicator (below)

Swatches under normal room lighting (below) Left to Right: Demure, Steal My Kisses, Mischief

Swatches with flash (below) Left to Right: Demure, Steal My Kisses, Mischief

Swatches under daylighting (below) Left to Right: Demure, Steal My Kisses, Mischief

Demure is a candy milky baby pink shade in the bottle but comes out extremely sheer. The colour is very girly and will look very pretty topped over a baby pink lipstick.

Steal My Kisses is a pink with slight orange undertone that is darker and more pigmented than Demure.

Mischief looks purple in the bottle but comes out pink with purple undertones. It is more pigmented than Demure. It is very wearable despite the shocking purple colour in bottle. If you are looking for a lilac colour that is not too loud, this might be the one for you.



Pros:

These three colours are beautiful and extremely wearable. They do not dry out lips which is a pretty wonderful as I have sensitive and dry lips and pretty much all lipsticks and glosses I’ve tried dried out my lips, making my fingers itch as I restrain from peeling them. The glosses are extremely affordable; S$12.90 each. Definitely buildable for Steal My Kisses and Mischief, not that much for Demure as it is very sheer. The lasting power is around 3 hours if drinking only water. Reapplication is required after meals.



Cons:

These glosses are not very pigmented so I will not recommend it if you have dark/ pigmented lips as the colours will probably not show up. But for the price I still do think that these glosses are reasonable and the colour payoff from the Steal My Kisses and Mischief are quite good.



Yadda Yadda:

Retails for S$12.90 at Watsons for 5ml or 0.17 fl oz. I bought it at a 20% discount and paid only S$10.00 for each gloss. Will I repurchase? YES! I already bought backups of Steal My Kisses and Mischief. My current HG lipglosses! Hurry, go snag a few now and share your thoughts! Ratings: 4.5/5 Stars.
