[SR] Essential Combination Haircare Range

I introduced and reviewed Essential’s combination haircare range some time back in October 2014, so I won’t be going too deep into it in this entry. Do check that entry out too!

But just a quick recap of what this range can do for you…

If you’re aware of what ‘combination skin’ is (a combination of dry and oily zones on your face), then ‘combination hair’ is exactly the same concept — oily scalp with dry ends. Essential has a range of shampoos and conditioners to help combat this problem.

If you scalp is just a little oily but you have dry ends, you can try the Light Finish Volumizing (yellow) range. If you have a very oily scalp and dry ends, you can try the Deep Cleansing Care (blue) range.

These two ranges are optimised with a combination of Smart Cuticle Care and Sebum Cleansing Technology to clarify the oily roots and moisturise the dry ends at the same time.

And for a limited time only, Essential will be giving out a massage shampoo brush with every purchase of a shampoo and conditioner set. They come in two colours: pink and green. The kind people at Essential and The Sample Store sent the products for me to try out, so I’m going to tell you a little more about this cute round massage brush.

The massage shampoo brush is commonly used in Japan to help remove dirt and sebum effectively from the scalp. The massaging action on the scalp also helps to improve blood circulation and promote relaxation.

To use it effectively, first, you wet and shampoo your hair as usual. Then you hold the brush between your index and middle fingers. Rub the bristles onto your scalp gently from side to side with small movements. Do not move the brush in circular motions as it will cause your hair to tangle. The rubber tips of the massage shampoo brush are firm yet not too hard, so it’ll give your scalp a good “scratch” but not hurt you.

The brush is great especially for people who are go for regular manicures. Who wants to spoil their nicely painted nails from shampooing their hair? Using a massage shampoo brush will help to prolong your fancy nails.

To properly store the brush, rinse it with water and place it upside down or hung from a string in a well-ventilated place. Do not place the brush with its bristles in direct contact to the surface as it may damage the bristles over time.

The haircare sets will be available from mid-May 2015 at leading supermarkets and personal care stores. Each pack retails at $19.60 and comes with a 750ml bottle of shampoo and conditioner and a free massage shampoo brush.

If you’re not too sure about the Deep Cleansing Care range and would like to try it out, you can grab a free sample of it at Essential’s Facebook page.

BlissyBox

It has been some time since I made a post here, but I’m back to let you guys know about a relatively new subscription box service. Nope, it’s not another beauty box. It’s a box specially for ladies — specifically for menstruating ladies.

Yes, us ladies know that it’s one hell of a ride when we have our period. The cramps, the uncomfortable feeling of a leaky tap, the paranoia of staining clothes, etc.

BlissyBox tries to bring just a little bliss during that time of the month. No more running out to the store to stock up period supplies. You just make yourself comfortable at home and wait for your box of supplies to arrive at your doorstep.

It’s a monthly subscription service and all you have to do to get started is choose a plan from a list of six:

  • Lady Light
  • Duchess Regular
  • Queen Heavy
  • Madame Organic
  • Pads only
  • Tampons only

Because each lady has a different period cycle or preference of product, each plan comes with a different number/type of items that’s stated on the website. Customisation doesn’t stop there. After choosing your plan, you get to choose what items go into the box: tampons or pads, brands you like, type of tampon or pad. Next, BlissyBox tries to sync up with your period cycle so you will receive your box just before your period begins.

So what goodies come in the box? Of course, you get whatever period supplies you asked for. Besides that, you get some sweet treats to brighten your crummy day when you get your period. New subscribers do get an extra perk in their first box: a pouch to keep your period supplies.

Everything is neatly packed in the box and the best part of the box is the handwritten note that comes with it. It’s addressed to you. A simple and very sweet gesture.

A welcome note in my first box!

As BlissyBox is a monthly subscription service, you do have to choose a subscription plan that lasts three, six, or 12 months…or forever (until you say stop). What happens is that a PayPal recurring payment notice is set up, so you don’t have to worry about forgetting to pay for your box. The only drawback comes when you want to stop the service before your subscription plan is up. You have to remember to inform them before payment is charged automatically.

I know you must be thinking why would someone stop such a fabulous service halfway through her subscription? Well, it did happen to me. Right after my first box, no less. I discovered I was pregnant. And we all know what that means. No period for the next nine months. Which also meant that I wouldn’t need pads or tampons for the time being.

No worries. Just drop them a note. It’s that simple.

I only informed them after I got charged for the next box, so I had to accept that one. What I’m about to tell you next is the extraordinary service by  BlissyBox. If you thought the handwritten note in each box is the only sweet gesture by them, you’re wrong.

My second box was due to arrive during the time I would be away on an overseas trip. I just asked if the box could be delivered when I was back. Yup, no problem with that! So I happily went off for my holiday. When I returned, I informed them and my box got delivered without a hassle.

This second box was special. Remember that handwritten note? This time it read:

Hey Elisia!

Wishing you all the best of luck on your pregnancy. May your 9 months be smooth & your baby healthy.

Love & Light,
Anna

I also got a little surprise in this box. A leopard-print eye mask with another handwritten note that read:

Zzz…
A mother of a newborn will definitely need her beauty sleep.
Sleep with style! =)

“Anna” did drop me a text message as well to check if I received the box. I thanked her for the sweet gesture of a present. She added that she hoped to see me back in the subscription loop after my pregnancy.

I got started on this service with just curiosity and with no intention of staying on long, but after all the thoughtful gestures, I’m really considering on keeping up with this subscription!

[SR] My Beauty Diary Black Mask

I’ve been a fan of My Beauty Diary face sheet masks, so when I heard they had a new product range, I was all eager to try it.

Introducing My Beauty Diary’s new black mask range! Yes, it’s new with an improved formula, features and packaging…and it’s BLACK! Very classy indeed. The enhanced mask range features a uniquely patented ingredient called Cosphingo, which has a long-lasting moisturising property for improved hydration of your skin. The black sheet mask  is made of high-quality fine and smooth cotton fibres from Japan, is extremely gentle on your skin, and its essences are absorbed easily by your skin. The best part is that it is free from harmful paraben preservatives, alcohol, mineral oil, pigments and fluorescent agents. Therefore, it is suitable for all skin types!

You should also take note that this black mask range contains 3D hyaluronic acid and yeast compound. The 3D hyaluronic acid forms a protective film over your skin to replenish and retain moisture, keeping your face hydrated. The yeast compound helps to tighten and regulate your skin tone, leaving you with a smooth and glowing complexion. The mask itself is made of conforming material that fits the contours of your face and neck (under chin) perfectly.

There are three variants in this range:

  • Black Obsidian Moisturising Black Mask
  • Black Rose Brightening Black Mask
  • Black Pearl Total Effects Black Mask

I always go for moisturising face sheet masks as my skin is quite dehydrated, so I was hoping to try the first variant. Was delighted that My Beauty Diary and The Sample Store had sent me that!

The Black Obsidian Moisturising Black Mask works to Nourish, Hydrate, Moisturise and Illuminate your skin.

Here’s the write up on the ingredients of the mask:

Rich in trace elements and minerals that restores healthy skin, French Black Obsidian helps support the skin’s protective mechanism and enhances the skin’s hydrating power. The infusion of Laminaria digitata and sugar maple delivers intense hydration to the deep layers of skin to improve dry skin texture, revealing renewed and brighter skin. Enriched with numerous soothing ingredients like Calendula officinalis, Licorice, and Ruscus aculeatus extracts to relieve dry, rough and irritated skin, the mask is also rich in Bladder wrack seaweed, Aloe vera, and hydrolysed Jojoba for improved hydration, allowing the skin to feel optimally nourished, revitalised with glowing luminosity!

Yes, the mask is black and yes, this looks like an unglam mug shot.

Despite using My Beauty Diary masks a lot of times now, I can’t for the life of me, remember what the texture feels like. But this black face sheet mask is da bomb! The mask is not paper thin, it actually feels smooth and…luxurious. Yea, like good quality stuff! AND IT ACTUALLY FITS MY FACE! I know my face is a little small, but it is extremely irritating when the eye and mouth holes don’t align with my eyes and mouth. This fits perfectly!

One  thing I really dislike are ear loops to support the under chin flaps. They are supposed to be helping to stretch your skin so that you don’t get saggy skin as you age, but I just absolutely hate having that wet feeling around my ears. This mask has the under chin flaps but no ear loops! Yay! You should know that the under chin flaps are something really good to have. They allow the essence to work its magic on your chin/neck, so you don’t have an uneven skin tone.

The face sheet mask wasn’t dripping with essence too. The amount was just nice — enough to keep your face hydrated, but not too much to end up creating a mess down your neck. Another important point for a good face sheet mask, in my opinion.

After usage of the mask for at least three times, I found my skin to be brighter, smoother and more hydrated. Not sure if you can see that through my photos (should have taken both under the same light), but trust me, it does work. My face does feel refreshed as I peel of the mask.

You can buy the My Beauty Diary Black Masks at Guardian, Sasa and Watsons for $16.90 (a box of five pieces).

And for a limited period of time, My Beauty Diary SG Facebook fans can get to try the Black Obsidian Moisturising Black Mask by redeeming a free sample in a ‘Group Redemption Deal’. This deal is valid only for the first 1,000 participating fans and will only be unlocked once 1,000 entries are received. Each of the 1,000 participating fans will receive one mask worth $3.95. So what are you waiting for? LIKE the My Beauty Diary SG Facebook page and take part in the deal!

[SR] Jergens Moisturising Body Lotion

Note: Photos are mirror shots as no one else was at home to help me take photos. >.<

Outfit? Check.
Make up? Check.
Looking and feeling cute? Check.

Everything’s in order and I’m ready to head out, but there’s one important thing that I forgot to check…

Smooth and hydrated skin? Uh oh.

Yup, that’s the one thing I’ve left unchecked for years. A quick feel of my arms and legs: rough. Urgh. Laziness is my enemy and I really should get the better of it.

That’s why when Jergens and The Sample Store offered me the chance to try out some body lotions, I jumped on without hesitation. What I received was not one, not two, but THREE bottles of Jergens moisturising body lotions to try. Wow.

These three are from the new moisturising collection by Jergens. Each lotion is designed to enhance and transform your skin for a noticeably improved look and feel. Specially formulated with a breakthrough Hydralucence blend, this new range of lotions will eliminate dullness and smooth away dryness, and create a continuous layer of moisture on your skin to prevent loss of hydration. Its long-lasting luminosity effect stems from the microscopic serum droplets in the product that forms a shield on the skin, giving it a healthy glow. So yes, with Jergens, you can achieve that hydrated, luminous skin that will make you feel beautiful inside out.

Here’s a rundown of each Jergens lotion:

  • Jergens Soothing Aloe (green)
    A refreshing moisturiser with cucumber extract and pure aloe vera. It revives skin for visibly more refreshed skin.
  • Jergens Daily Moisture (blue)
    An all-day moisturiser with silk proteins and citrus extracts for dry skin. It improves the texture of skin for visibly smoother skin.
  • Jergens Ultra Healing (orange)
    A moisturiser with vitamins C, E and B5 for very dry skin. It repairs skin for visibly healthier skin.

I tried all three lotions, but focused more on using the Ultra Healing lotion. All three lotions had distinct, pleasant fragrances, but I loved the fragrance of the Soothing Aloe lotion the best. The lotions did not feel greasy, but they did leave a slightly sticky feel. It wasn’t too bad though because after a while, the feeling went away. Unlike the other two, the Ultra Healing lotion has a thicker formula. This also means that the sticky feeling is a little stronger. I imagine it as a protective layer doing its magic of healing on my dry skin. I suppose if you really mind that feel, you can use the Soothing Aloe or Daily Moisture lotions in the day and Ultra Healing lotion at night.

After application of the lotion over one or two days, I could see and feel a little difference in the smoothness of my skin.

The Jergens moisturising body lotions will be available at leading supermarkets, western pharmacies and personal care stores around mid-February 2015. Each lotion comes in a 400ml bottle and will retail at $8.90.

Remember, clothing and make up is what you add on to enhance your beauty, but beauty really begins from within you. Healthy skin and hair will ultimately give you the confidence to shine.

A somewhat artistic mirror shot. Had to flip the image though so the words on the bottles would read correctly. XD

 

[SR] Asience Haircare Range

If you don’t already know it, Asience haircare range is formulated based on the Asian beauty philosophy — to restore the beauty of Asian hair from root to tip. As such, they are introducing an innovative haircare concept: the brand new power Beauty Serum.

The reformulated Beauty Serum contains the concentrated infusion of Argan Oil, Camelia Oil, Pomegranate extracts, and Rose, White Pearl and Lemongrass essences. The serum is designed to penetrate deep into the hair shaft, repairing it from within to give your hair three key signs of youthful vitality — softness, shine and smoothness.

The improved Asience haircare range comes in two variants:

  1. Inner Rich (yellow bottles) — for dry, frizzy and unmanageable hair
  2. Nature Smooth (blue bottles) — for oily scalp and tangled ends

No hesitation as to which variant I went for, which the kind people at Asience and The Sample Store gave me…

Asience Nature Smooth shampoo and conditioner

Yup, I have combination hair — oily scalp and super dry ends, so the Nature Smooth variant suited me best. The rich formula of this variant cleanses and repairs from deep within, hydrating hair for a light and smooth finish.

When I received the shampoo and conditioner, I was immediately struck by the shape and design on the bottles. They had this exquisite jewel-y feel…a bit princess-y? When I pumped out the formula, I was even more in love with it. The light fruity-floral fragrance lingers in your hair even until the next day.

I have used another brand of shampoo before that is supposed to combat my oily scalp. It worked too well in stripping off the oil that it ended up stripping off the moisture as well. With the Asience Nature Smooth shampoo, I got that sala sala (smooth) feel even while rinsing off the shampoo. That’s how I know my hair is being protected and moisturised. The conditioner also left the same sala sala feel at the ends — not as strong as I’ll like it to be but good enough nonetheless.

Dry and tangly ends before, smooth tame ends after.

After a couple of days of using Asience Nature Smooth, my hair ends improved much from the tangly sort to the tamer sort. Instead of a dry mess, each hair strand became more defined. The ends are still a little dry but I guess it should improve further with longer use the shampoo and conditioner.

My scalp is also less oily with the hair more light and airy.

The new and improved Asience haircare range is available at all leading supermarkets, western pharmacies and personal care stores. The shampoo and conditioner comes in two sizes: 200ml at $7.95 each and 480ml at $14.90 each. There’s also a treatment care 180ml tube for each variant and it retails at $12.90.

If you’re not too sure about purchasing it yet, you can get a free sample at The Sample Store to try it out first.

Purr-fect Sweets

Not really a beauty-related entry, but a review nonetheless…

If you haven’t noticed yet, Swensen’s is having a Hello Kitty dessert promotion! Couldn’t resist it, had to go try! (Would have been better if it were My Melody, but oh well…)

There are four desserts on the menu. Two parfaits, a waffle and ice-cream, and cake.

SO PINK! <3 SO MANY ICHIGO! Ichigo flavour? Thought so but nope. It’s either strawberry cheesecake or bandung flavoured ice-cream.

The menu

My sister, friend and I wanted to try all, but we were too full from our lunch to stomach more than two desserts. So, we decided to try the Merry Berry Kitty parfait and Purr-fect Waffle Dream.

Merry Berry Kitty

The parfaits come with an original Swensen’s Hello Kitty coaster. It’s really just a collectible card. We didn’t want it wet and soggy so when the waiter put the coaster on the table, my sister immediately grabbed it away. Shocked the waiter a little. Haha.

This parfait is made of strawberry cheesecake ice-cream with blueberry sauce and topped with whipped cream, strawberries and a chocolate Hello Kitty. It’s really cute! I found the ice-cream a bit sour though, not quite to my tastebuds.

Purr-fect Waffle Dream

We were a bit skeptical of the bandung-flavoured ice-cream that came with this dessert. Our last encounter with bandung ice-cream (not at Swensen’s) didn’t go down too well. However, Swensen’s bandung ice-cream was surprisingly good. It tasted more of rose syrup than milk, which was a good thing for me since I dislike anything with the strong dairy taste. It wasn’t too sweet too. The waffle was a little disappointing though. It wasn’t crispy. 🙁 Nevertheless, there was strawberry sauce drizzled all over the waffle and there was a cute chocolate Hello Kitty.

The other parfait that we didn’t try, comes with the same bandung-flavoured ice-cream and is topped with anko  (sweet red bean paste). The cake is a red velvet layer cake I think.

This promotion began on 1 February and will go on until 30 April. Each dessert is $12.50. So, if you love Hello Kitty, you cannot miss this!

Tokyo Luxey Gift Box

My last beauty box to talk about! Haha, that does not mean I’ve cleared my backlog of entries. I still have more to share about. 🙂

I’m pretty excited to share about this beauty box: the Tokyo Luxey Gift Box. If you know me well, you’ll know that I get excited about Japanese stuff. I began using cosmetic products by Maybelline, but now I’ve started to include a few Japanese brand cosmetics.

Just look at that fabulous box! *kira kira*

What’s included in the box:

  • Fairy Drops Vanilla Puff Mineral Powder in Dark Ochre
  • Kiraan! Metal Magic Liner in Red
  • Evangelist BB Cream in No. 2 Ochre
  • Fairy Drops Platinum Waterproof Mascara
  • Dolly Wink False Eyelashes in 20 Glamorous Doll
  • 24h Cosme Powder Foundation in 03 Dark Ochre
  • Make It & Co. Premium Gel
  • Make It & Co. Face & Body Wash Oil

I appreciate Tokyo Luxey’s thoughtfulness in preparing the box for Singaporeans. Unlike most Japanese women who are porcelain fair, some of us Singaporeans are not like that. Yes, me. As much as I would like to be fair, I can’t. I tan easily and don’t lose the tan easily too. Well, I can be super paranoid and go around wrapped up tightly so my skin is not exposed to the sun or carry an umbrella wherever I go, but that’s so not me. I’m really grateful that Tokyo Luxey included powder, foundation and cream in shades that would fit my skin tone. Whoopee!

A few comments about the items in the box… I’ve been using one of the mascaras in the Fairy Drops range and love it to bits. The formula is not too dry and sticky or too wet. I’ve used other mascaras that make my eyelashes clump too easily. Very annoying. I’ve been mighty pleased with Fairy Drops mascara as the formula glides on easily. This is really good for people like me who have short eyelashes. Can’t wait to try out the mascara included in this box.

Ooh…and they included Dolly Wink false eyelashes. Everyone knows that Dolly Wink falsies are really cool (and a little on the expensive side) because they are endorsed by model Masukawa Tsubasa. She used to be a Popteen model and I’ve been a faithful Popteen magazine reader since their first Chinese edition issue. (Please don’t ask me why even with Popteen magazines, I ended up being a noob with make up and clothes.) *sigh* Anyway, back to the topic. The eyelashes Tokyo Luxey included in the box is really good for newbies to falsies. Not the super thick or long dramatic types, these falsies are natural-looking. To be quite honest, I’ve never tried putting on falsies except for my ROM, wedding photoshoot and wedding days. And those days don’t even count because the make up artist was the one putting them on for me. Lately I’ve been thinking about trying on falsies, so maybe this will be a good starting point.

Before I ramble on and on, you can get the Tokyo Luxey Gift Box at USD32 (which comes up to SGD39). Very worth it as the items are worth about USD300!

Here’s some videos for more information on the items included in the box:

If you love Japanese cosmetics like me or just want to give it a try, get the Tokyo Luxey Gift Box now!

Black Box Beauty Boxes

Haha, I like how the title works out to be an alliteration.

As promised, I’ll tell you a little about the beauty boxes I got from Black Box. Yes, I have itchy fingers when it comes to beauty boxes (whether or not I actually use the contents of it), but my self-control is pretty good. So I end up with boxes of contents that I’ll use at least 70% if not all.

Black Box launched three exclusive beauty boxes for Christmas 2014 after their revamp, and I purchased two of them. Each box comes with a snazzy name.

The first one is ‘Bare my Soul, Sweetheart’. It was the cheapest at $9.90 and came in a plastic pack.

As usual, a card is included to tell you more about the products enclosed.

  • Biore Micellar Cleansing Water (1 sachet)
  • Klarity Lasertox CC Miracle White Lotion (5ml)
  • Nivea Fruity Shine Pink Guava Lip Balm (1 stick)
  • Ocean Health Buffered C-500 Chewable Tablets (60 tablets)
  • Nivea In-shower Skin Conditioner Body Lotion (1 sachet)
  • L’oreal Extraordinary Oil Sublime Hair Enhancer (3 sachets)

I thought the contents of this pack were pretty worth it for the price since two of the items are retail sized.

If you’re interested, I did a review of the Biore Miceller Cleansing Water earlier.

On to the next beauty box, ‘Hey Betty, I’m on a Vacay!’ This box costs $19.90 and comes in a neat little shoebox.

  • Za x Betty Boop Killer Volume Mascara (1 tube)
  • Aqualabel White Up Emulsion (20ml)
  • Aqualabel Aqua Enhancer (20ml)
  • Aqualabel Reset White Mask (1 sheet)
  • Ma Cherie Moisture Shampoo (50ml)
  • Ma Cherie Moisture Conditioner (50ml)

At first glance, I was thinking “The contents of this box is really little. That’s pretty expensive.” But after careful consideration, it really isn’t so. The mascara is retail sized and worth almost the cost of the box.

A note about Aqualabel. I’ve been using their enhancer for a few years now and love how it keeps my face moist. Aqualabel has two (or more) series. The common ones are the whitening (blue) series and the moisturising (red) series. I have been using the enhancer in the moisturising series, but lately they don’t seem to be on the shelves anymore. Maybe they have discontinued it. Oh well, I might as well try the enhancer in the whitening series since I have the sample now.

Another tidbit about Ma Cherie. People probably don’t remember or don’t know this, but Takki (Hideaki Takizawa) used to endorse Ma Cherie when it wasn’t available on our shores yet. I still remember a friend going gaga over it and all set to buy home the shampoo and conditioner when she went to Japan.

The third exclusive beauty box is ‘Love, The Alter Ego’ and is priced at $29.90. The last one is ‘I Kissed the Knight Goodbye’ and is priced at $39.90. I didn’t purchase these two as I didn’t fancy the contents and felt they were a bit too pricey.

The second, third and fourth boxes are still available at Black Box. Do check them out.

The New Black Box

Clearing my backlog of reviews. Was busy earlier trying to fix a little problem I had with the comment plugin, which eventually I had to get my webhosting company to fix.

Anyway, I’m back to let everyone know that Black Box has revamped their look and system. Subscribers used to ballot for bi-monthly boxes filled with sample-sized products. (That’s how I got my awesome collection of small tubes of toothpaste that are good for travel use!) If you weren’t successful with the ballot, you could purchase a box for $6. Being the freebie monster I am, that sounded like a sweet deal to me. I still have the plastic zip pouches the coupons came in to prove my loyalty to Black Box! Haha.

The new Black Box is sleeker and more chic.

The whiteness of Classic
The darkness of Luxury

You can either go with Classic or Luxury. There are different samples for both categories.

A surprise beauty box no longer awaits you. You get to choose what samples you want now. So fill up your basket with 4 classic samples for $5.90, 9 classic samples for $9.90, 3 luxury samples for $9.90 or 7 luxury samples for $16.90. Or you can get special beauty boxes at price ranges of $10-$40 if you fancy. (I’ll touch on the latter in the next post.) After you’ve tried out the samples, return to the site to post your reviews in exchange for points. The points can be accumulated to redeem for more samples! The best thing is that subscription to this sample programme is still free!

12 Days of Christmas

I guess you’re wondering why I’m talking about Christmas when it’s long gone. Yes, I do admit that I sat on this one, but I want to make an effort to let you know about the goodies I got from The Sample Store.

So I received the EDM about this wonderful Christmas giveaway where shoppers could collect three different gift box from 14-25 December. Each gift box was launched every 3-4 days during this period and all you had to do was make a $5.99 check out to receive one for free.

Did I mention I love freebies? I was practically sold. Besides, the older you get, the less Christmas presents you get. I just love unwrapping presents…the anticipation of finding out what someone got you and the surprise when you find out what’s beneath the wrapping. These boxes were just like Christmas presents…to myself. Haha.

Each box had a few items that were either sample sized or retail sized.

Box 1 (14-17 December)

  • 1028 Visual Therapy Moisture Booster Activating Mask (1 sheet)
  • Suisse Programme Platinum Precious Luxe Eye Cream (3ml)
  • Suisse Programme Platinum Precious Luxury Lifting Eye Concentrate (3ml)
  • Uucare All-in-one Convenient Pack
  • Himalaya Daily Health Capsules (60 capsules)

Box 2 (18-21 December)

  • MegRhythm Steam Eye Mask (1 sheet)
  • Pond’s Men Acne Clear Oil Control Whitening Foam (50g)
  • dearberry Berry Bright Serum (10ml)
  • Pond’s Age Miracle Face & Neck Lifting Day Cream (10g)
  • Frg Toilet Seat Cleaner Wipe (1 sheet)
  • Frg Instant Stain Remover Wipe (1 sheet)

Box 3 (22-25 December)

  • Perspirex Plus Antiperspirant Roll on (5ml)
  • White Formula Intense Brightening Toner with Tranexamic Acid (35ml)
  • VDL Lumilayer Primer (8ml)
  • Miacare Acne Patch for Day (3 pieces)
  • My Beauty Diary Snail Facial Hydrating Mask with Repair Cream (1 sheet + sachet)

Was most happy with the face masks and the VDL primer. I’ve been using the VDL hydration primer and love the way it works to keep my face hydrated and less oily. Shall save the gushing for another time (post).

Well, this is just a preview of what you can get from The Sample Store. Lots of interesting beauty products there. Look out for more promotions like this one!
