Happy Christmas!

You know it's so hard to control when you're at one of the best buffets, with all sorts of food that you can ever find. The Dining Room at the Sheraton Towers didnt have much variety for main course, but they sure have lotsa desserts. Not forgetting seafood and sashimi. I had 2 bowls of soup and a plate of sashimi, 3 cups of orange juice, some vegetables, and a spoonful of tiramisu. Yea.. did I mention that there were pralines, many different cakes, FONDUE, honeydew sago etc etc. I'm glad I had so much liquid so as to be bloated.

I'm so upset with Jean Yip's service now. );< Gonna try to tell godma and see if she can help.
Halfday today!

Back in SG

4 days of trainings, 3 days of ache. Yea, the only day tt didnt ache was Day 1, when we went there fresh, blank like a piece of paper.

I've gained alot of insights. And many many constructive comments and feedbacks which was much heartwarming. 1 left me speechless, which came from Pi-toey.

I sincerely thank all of them for their ever great patience, especially when all of them are having their exams yet squeezing out time just for us.

Hate to say that I'm back in SG, but again I miss home. Maybe its the environment, which I felt uncomfortable cos Singapore is just so clean. :/ Not forgetting, I miss not sleeping in aircon. ;p I think that's one of the things to me when I'm abroad. When my legs were aching, I thought of my isqueez waiting for me at home. Heh.


And now, I dont have any mood to work cos the thought of department outing at 12.30 is making me so gaga over my spa later. A rejuvenating massage, just what I need from all the aches. Lucky me it's on recovery mode. Otherwise I'm sure I'll kick my masseuse. Oh, side track, I didn't feel like I went to Thailand at all cos there wasn't anytime for me to do thai massage. Like one of the must-haves? Hah. This means my mind was focus, just to concentrate on the training camp. But I admit when I was on the way to the airport, I keep whining to bee that I wanted a Thai massage so bad.

Pondering over which masks to get?

I've always been a constant lookout for good masks, and have tried several different brands. But eversince I've tried Dress Me Masks, i've not change using other brands.

Introduced by 女人我最大, they were talking about how relaxing the masks are etc etc.

Due to my busy work-cheer schedule, I hardly have time to go out for facial, so masks at home is not a want, but essential for me!

Photobucket

The 3 different masks.

I personally love....

PhotobucketPhotobucket
PhotobucketPhotobucket

Whitening and Brightening mask contains effective skin whitener, Gigawhite that reduces age spots and inhibits pigmentation and has skin-barrier functions. The mask contains Ginkgo Biloba that increases blood circulation and collagen-boost to slow down skin aging process and protects skin from free radicals. It has anti-inflammatory, anti-allergenic, anti-bacterial and anti-oxidant properties that whitens the skin and also reduces redness and skin sensitivity.

How do the ingredients work?
Morus Nigra Fruit Extract lightens pigmentation while whitens the skin and helps to slow down aging process, keeping skin supple. It contains flavonoids ,aminos and minor elements Cu, Zn and Fe that have anti-oxidant properties.
Azelaic Acid is a component of grains, such as wheat, rye and barley. It reduces the formation of pigmentation and is an anti-bacterial that inhibits the development of bacteria in pores. It reduces formation of comedones (blackheads and whiteheads) and also assists in skin lightening.
Ginkgo Biloba Extract helps to increase blood circulation, boosts collagen formation and activating cell metabolism, which slows down the aging process. It has anti-inflammatory, anti-allergenic and anti-oxidant properties that protect the skin. The extract also helps in skin whitening. Glycyrrhizinate Glabra (Licorice) Leaf Extract is an anti-inflammatory agent that reduces skin redness and has anti-allergic properties that reduces skin sensitiveness while relaxes the skin.
Sodium Hyaluronate effectively binds to water and retains moisture within skin 500 times more. This increases moisture level in skin and boosts skin’s natural collagen formation while providing a barrier of protection for the skin.
Gigawhite is a plants-derived, preservative-free skin lightener that produces whitening effects and has skin-barrier functions. It reduces age spots and inhibits pigmentation.

Because of frequent exposure in the sun, and yours faithfully is lazy in putting sunblock, andddd, me always sleep late, which resulted me having a very dull and uneven skin. After use, you can immediately feel refreshed. Skin tone was even out, skin felt adequately moisturised, redness for blemishes was visibly reduced.


My next favourite....

Whitening and Revive Mask! It helps to keep skin pigmentation-free and fairer skin with Ginkgo Biloba that increases blood circulation and collagen-boost to slow down skin aging process and protects skin from free radicals. A mask with anti-inflammatory, anti-allergenic, anti-bacterial and anti-oxidant properties that whitens the skin and also reduces redness and skin sensitivity.

What other ingredients make this mask perfect?
Morus Nigra Fruit Extract lightens pigmentation while whitens the skin and helps to slow down aging process, keeping skin supple. It contains flavonoids, aminos and minor elements Cu, Zn and Fe that have anti-oxidant properties.
Azelaic Acid is a component of grains, such as wheat, rye and barley. It reduces the formation of pigmentation and is an anti-bacterial that inhibits the development of bacteria in pores. It reduces formation of comedones (blackheads and whiteheads) and also assists in skin lightening.
Ginkgo Biloba Extract helps to increase blood circulation, boosts collagen formation and activating cell metabolism, which slows down the aging process. It has anti-inflammatory, anti-allergenic and anti-oxidant properties that protect the skin. The extract also helps in skin whitening.
Glycyrrhizinate Glabra (Licorice) Leaf Extract is an anti-inflammatory agent that reduces skin redness and has anti-allergic properties that reduces skin sensitiveness
while relaxes the skin.
Sodium Hyaluronate effectively binds to water and retains moisture within skin 500 times more. This increases moisture level in skin and boosts skin’s natural collagen formation while providing a barrier of protection for the skin.
Tranexamic Acid counteracts melanin p
roduction, removing pigmentation and brightening the skin.

Haha. So what's the difference of the 2 masks above? Basically, the one with brightening effect glows my skin, whereas the one with reviving effects have sorta like a toning effect to me. Meaning to say that, my skin tone was much more even (excluding my dark eye rings). The best thing is, both the masks are filled with moisture, but the goodness of the essence was locked tight in the mask; they dont drip at all!

The mask fits just perfect on my face as you can see on the pictures, and they have a very relaxing scent which puts me to sleep most of the time. Of course, I put alarm because if you put mask overnight, the ingredients will overdo their magical power, and instead of moisturising ur skin, they leave ur skin dry.

Oh, and remember to always pat the residue across your face and neck (which is left on your skin after you remove your mask). You dont want to waste them! Heh. Not exactly. Patting of these essence, including your skincare products actually helps these products to really run into your pores of your skin and lock tem down tight.

Alright, that's all folks!

Personally, this suits me better as compared to the Bio Multi-effects BB cream (8-in-1). Not because it has lesser functions, but my skin felt better with the Bio Platinum.

23rd

1 more month to the 2nd. With you, time flies. No, it zooms.
Can we go there together? *points at picture.
Save money ok. ((;

Bio Essence! (;

HELLO!

Let me introduce you another incredible product. My first time using such product on my skin! And its…. *drumroll* BB Cream.

Photobucket

Surprised by the products that were sponsored, and even more taken aback with the use of the products, I was generously sponsored with 3 different types of BB cream. But today, I shall just review on Bio Multi-Effect BB Cream by Bio Essence!

Photobucket

The package came in a box, with 3 of the BB cream in a glittery drawstring bag, an envelope, a advertisement cd, and an orange. Yes, Let’s name her, Pokerdot Face. ;p

Aqua BB Cream

The one in blue. Consists of Tanaka, Hyalurocic Acid and Mineral Amino Essence, it aims to give aqua-refreshing makeup feel as it regulate oil secretion to keep skin oil-free.


Bio Platinum BB Cream
Photobucket
The one in sliver! SPF 25/PA++, you don’t have to worry about putting sunblock. One of Bio-essence multi effect BB cream.

Bio Multi-Effect BB Cream

Photobucket
Purple in packing. This BB cream has SPF 25/PA++. It consists of 8 amazing skin ‘vitamins’ – Bio Energy Fluid, Titanium Dioxide, Gingko Biloba Extract, Ginseng, Angelica, ……………

Ok, I shall talk more about this product! My skin could still ‘breathe’ even after application. And I assure you, I did not cut purposely put lesser because I didn’t like the thought of putting something more than pimple cream or moisturizing gel on my face. I was quite generous with the amount, but it was so light that I felt nothing at all.

The best coverage amongst the 3, it covered my dark eye rings so well, that I did not need to apply concealer to it. And instead of spreading it across your face, for the best application, pat the BB cream gently onto face.

Photobucket

See.. the coverage…POWER! Sorry for the resolution. My room's lighting super sucky. :/ The first pic is of course with the bb cream. Pores are covered!

Photobucket

**Pat pat pat across Pokerdot Face.
And

TADAA!

Photobucket


Look at Pokerdot face. You see her pores no more! I did not purposely apply a thick layer on it. The scratch is deliberate to show the thickness of the BB cream applied. (;
Photobucket


I love this product because it helps me save money from a good eye concelaer. ;p Hehe. Needless to say, blemishes are covered accurately and your skin appear even and smooth!

In a survey done by HK Fashion and Beauty Magazine among 6 other competitive BB Creams, the Bio Multi-Effect BB Cream came up tops in terms of being the BB Cream that adheres most closely to the skin for flawless coverage.

Photobucket

What do you say? (;

Photobucket

No make up - with just BB Cream.
