Kotex X Sample Store

Hello!!! Today I'm going to review something that sure will be used by all women in some part of their life's (Sanitary Pad)

I do not have one regular pad brand that I'll stick to as up to date I couldn't find a brand that I'm really comfortable in.

I was recently being introduced to Kotex.

Kotex Soft® Air 23cm and now available for night in the new 28cm length packs.

Kotex Soft® Air is the THINNEST pad ever that I've tried! The thinness and comfortness allowed me to do whatever I want and move however I wish without the fear of leaking. 

Product Reason to Believe

1. With all the leak protection you need in one 0.8mm# SUPER ULTRATHIN sheet, you will hardly notice this pad on your period. 

2. The 3D Rapid Absorb Core absorbs 50x liquid instantly. Say goodbye to sudden gushes and hello dryness! 

Micro holes all over the pads which helps promote air circulation.

3. The airy Micro-Dry Cover helps to promote air circulation, giving you the freshness you need. 

# Approximately 0.8mm absorbent sheet

^ Based on comparison of absorbent cores within Kotex Soft® range only.

~ Polymers are able to absorb 50x liquid of its own weight"

Just look at the difference in side way and you can see that Kotex is much thinner!

Sorry I don't mean to make it looks disgusting. It's actually ribena. I purposely put cup in the middle to show that it's some liquid!
Btw look at XX brand on the left and and Kotex on the right. You get what I mean? The absorbency is superb!

Hello it's me again! 😀 I hope things are going well for ya'll...

Today I'm gonna filled your thoughts and senses with great fragrance as much as possible because I'm gonna review about a freshener from Farcent!

I was too happy when I received the parfums. As my neighborhood area are currently under going upgrading, hence my house window is closed all the time due to the dust everywhere and because of that, there's no air ventilation. So my house started to filled with weird smell and I was so desperate until I received 3 different range of  Les Parfums de Farcent.

About Les Parfums de Farcent (LPF)

LPF is the first perfume-type of freshener with fragrance developed by renowned European perfume house, each product has a unique scent and long-lasting effect.

I received 3 scents "Star Magnolia, Freesia & English Pear, Sea Salt & Wood Sage"

I love the cute packaging and it looks comparable to those luxury brand freshener out ther.

The perfume are IFRA certified, safe and of high quality scented materials and it comes in 2 forms.

The diffuser lasts up to 4 to 8 weeks and so right now I'm typing this review, I'm breathing my new fresh air away 😜

It's so easy to use with instructions attached to the box.

Perfumed Sachets (3 pc):

This is a very smart and fashionable design with a modern touch of simplicity. You can use this to freshen your wardrobe/car/cabinet/handbag and it will last up to 30 days

Just remove perfumed sachets from pouch, iInsert ribbon through the hole at the top of the sachet

Viola~~~ Hang it in wardrobe, car or simple place it in your drawer, cabinet or handbag just like how I did it..

Sample Store x VitaRealm Beauty Drinks review

Hello friends! Hope July has been great so far.

Today I'm reviewing beauty drink from VitaRealm.


Who is VitaRealm?

Following the success of VitaRealm®'s functional health arm, VitaRealm® Beauty carries the same die-hard spirit of providing quality and effective products to users. Formulated with the finest natural ingredients, expect to look and feel your absolute best from now on - our beauty elixirs will help you achieve that ~glow~ from within.  

VitaRealm® clinched the Singapore Prestige Brand Award (SPBA) - Promising Brand Award in 2018. 

So I have completed my 16 bottles of Whitening Collagen.

I was given 3 different kind of collagen to choose from.

Of course being the vain me which forever wants whitening, I choose the VitaRealm Whitening Collagen.

It contains glutathione which not only helps to reduce skin pigmentation and dark spots but also aids in liver detoxification. It contains PhytoflORAL which inhibits melanin formation and helps absorbs UV rays. Hence, this will help to reduce the impact of UV rays on our skin, thus giving us a fairer, brighter skin tone.

I really love the unique ingredients in the collagen which makes it even more yummier and enjoyable to consume. Just like drinking fruit juice!

Do you know you can identify beauty color from skin concerns?
Here are 3 for your info :)

Blue: Dull skin tone, dry skin, uneven skin tone, dark pigments
Pink: Sensitive skin, troubled skin, acne-prone skin, acne scars, enlarged pores
Purple: Thin and dry skin, sagging skin, wrinkles and fine lines

I'm so happy that VitaRealm creates their Beauty Drink based on beauty color

The Blue packaging is the Whitening Collagen

The Pink is a Skin Perfecting Essence which balances sebum production, heal acne and scars

Lastly, the Purple one is the Anti-A.G.E Essence which helps to hydrates and firms skin, reduces sugar induced skin damages (wrinkles, fine lines)

It comes in a box of 8

I finished my 16th bottle and you can see my skin is more radiant and skintone more even due to the bright sun that caused me to have an uneven skin tone.

Can you tell which is Before and which is After? 🤭
I'm not gonna say because it's pretty obvious!!

Where to Purchase?

You can choose your collagen and purchase from their online store (www.vitarealmbeauty.com) at $49.90 with free doorstep delivery for SG orders. They are also having a promotion on their website now at $39.90 (Until end Jul) or you can purchase from Watson’s stores at a discounted price of $39.90 for a box of 8 bottles (Limited time only!)

Thank you for reading..💓

Chao~~~ 💋

Hera Cell Essence x Samplestore

Hello all! I'm back!! How are you?
Recently I had a chance to try a new product from the famous Korean brand “HERA” thanks to SampleStore and I would like to share my review with you!

Who’s HERA?

HERA, the leading luxury K-Beauty brand, aims to spread the special unique charm of modern Korean women. Seoulista is the muse of HERA, representing the exceptional beauty of modern Korean women who are fashionable, elegant, confident and passionate. They are the style icon of K-Beauty as well as the beauty messenger leading trends in Asia.
The brand is fronted by Korean actress, Gianna Jun and Jennie Kim from Blackpink o As we age, we experience a number of skin aging problems including dry, tight, and rough skin with gradual build-up of dead skin cells. This is no simple dryness in skin, but the aging of skin’s constitution.
It expands for one area to the entire face, and it is call “Skin Desertification”. Many people have misconception when it comes to dry skin. Simple dry skin lacks water; the solution is to provide water.
Desertified skin on the other hand does not lack water but the “power to hold water”; that’s when irrigation facilities play a big part.

How to know if you have desertified skin?
Here’s a checklist:
• Your skin used to be fine even when nothing was applied after washing, but now it feels very dry
• Slept soundly but skin still feels rough
• Skin damaged from sleeping late or staying up all night does not heal back like before
• You’ve been applying anything and everything you could but skin still looks bad
• Makeup looks bad and flaky, does not apply well
• Your skin still looks dull and dark despite apply makeup

You must be thinking what do you do with desertified skin? Well goodnews! Now we can activate and vitalize desertified skin with HERA Cell Essence Cell-Bio Fluid Sync 2.0.

About HERA Cell Essence

HERA Cell Essence is a  pre- water essence that prevents “skin desertification” and moisturises skin for a bright, dewy complexion, also known as the “Glass Skin” Suitable for all skin types. It contains Cell-Bio Fluid Sync™ 2.0 • A “Body Fluid Planting System” that fills and locks in body fluid. With strong skin-activating ingredients that reinforce skin’s sources, this is a further upgraded version from Cell-Bio Fluid Sync™ featuring more innovative technology that enables maintenance and activation energy in skin with 8 Skin Cell Activators.

Here’s the benefits:

• Reinforce the underlying power of skin
• Skin nutrition to prevent skin desertification
• Essence contains 8 essential vital nutrients in body fluid composition ACTIVATOR CODE EFFICACY Ion Balancing Moisturising Amino Acid Moisturising Skin Evenness Peptide Revitalising Skin Brightness Sugar Energy Transparency Lipid Barrier Firming GAG Network Resilience NMF Water Binding Moisturising Water Water Skin Hydration

I used this twice daily with 2 steps. In the morning I just tapped the essence lightly onto my face with my hands then continue my day feeling awake and refreshed! Once I reached home in the evening, after face wash I clean my face using HERA’s Double-Effect Facial Cotton Pad.
There’s 2 side with the Facial cotton pad provided by them.

The Wave-patterned side is soft and gentle. I used this side when I want to keep my skin clean and smooth while the Mesh-patterned side helps remove dead skin and dirt accumulated over the day

Look the black cotton pad. This is even after I have removed my makeup and washed my face with cleanser 😱

It's recommended to use around 2.5ml per session.

I felt that I have achieved glass skin in just 6 days!

My glowing face after using the Cell Essence without filter nor makeup!

Just for you! Redeem and try out the product here: http://bit.ly/2H3xeMi

Every sample comes with the hydration test strips to measure before and after results

Do let me know how you feel after trying it! <3

What's SmartPac?

SmartPac is a postage-paid doorstep delivery with free packaging. Flat rates mean you do not have to worry about postage costs or stamp values! Also comes with a time-stamped proof of delivery.

Having a realible delivery for my online shopping is one of the thing that I'm concern the most. I have been facing issue of lost parcel, unknown tracking number, delayed shipment from my online purchases which makes me kinda faustrated. Hence, I went on to search for the most reliable way to have my order delivered to me with a peace of mind. I've been receiving some of my items from samplestore with SmartPac and I like how the package will be store into my mail box if there's no one home to receive the parcel. Therefore I wanted to try using SmartPac on my own. 

Some other things that I like about SmartPac is they are lightweight & convenient. There's no need to weigh item and calculate postage before sending and they will do a doorstep delivery.
As I mentioned above, if you are not at home, SmartPac will be placed in your letterbox. I really can have a peace of mind with their tracking system in place.

KEVIN.MURPHY HYDRATE-ME RANGE REVIEW

Hi guys! It's my first post for May! How are you doing? I'm going to review a high end haircare brand today which I received from Sample Store.

It's Kevin.Murphy, how many of you heard of that brand? Well actually I'm not familiar with this brand either as it's not seen in salon that I've been to.

Well who are they?

Kevin Murphy is the founder and a Session Stylist which introduced his namesake professional haircare line to fill a void in the world of session styling. Unsatisfied with conventional haircare products on the market, he turned to advanced skincare technology to deliver weightless texture with gentle formulas using natural ingredients.

The results are products that feature vitamins and amino acids to repair and thicken hair; weightless moisturisers from high-end skincare smooth and soften hair, while antioxidants from fruits and flowers reduce hair breakage and chemical damage.

About the products

All KEVIN.MURPHY products are sulphate-free, paraben-free and cruelty-free. What's the plus point is that all of their packaging is 100% recyclable!
The haircare products are created using gentle formulas and natural ingredients.
The HYDRATE.ME range which I received is suitable for people who live in dry climate or has naturally dry hair.

o HYDRATE-ME.WASH is a Kakadu Plum infused moisture delivery shampoo. The key features and benefits is they are Sulphate and Paraben free with pH 6.3 to 7.0. I love the smoothing texture of my hair and it adds shine and moisture leaving it feeling silky.
Kakadu Plum, native to the Australian Northern Territory, this fruit has the highest concentration on Vitamin C of any known plant.

Some other natural ingredients:

 Bergamot Essential Oil, a natural source of Vitamin C
 Hydrolysed Silk Extracts, smoothing the surface of the hair to lock in moisture
 Vitamin A, an antioxidant and cellular renewal ingredient that smoothes the appearance of the hair shaft and increases elasticity derived from palm oil
 Vitamin C, which stimulates production of Elastin and Collagen, maintaining hair’s lustre and elasticity. It also maintains colour whilst preventing the loss of hair and premature greying. Vitamin C is a natural detoxifier and aids in improving scalp circulation
 Jojoba Esters, adds moisture to the hair, makes hair more resilient to tangles, and avoids damage and split ends
 Shea Butter, delivery moisture to dry or damaged hair from the roots to the very tips. Protecting against weather damage, dryness and brittleness. Absorbs quickly and completely into hair and scalp without clogging the cuticle. It is particularly beneficial for heat-treated hair (straightened/curled)
 Evening Primrose Oil, which is high in Omega 6, hydrates and softens the hair. Contains Phospholipids that are hydrophilic, sucking moisture from the air around and draw it to the hair



HYDRATE-ME.RINSE is the conditioner. Similar to HYDRATE-ME.WASH, it contains Kakadu Plum, Jojoba Esters, Shea Butter and Evening Primrose Oil. It also contains Micro Algae, a stress manager for the hair to supply the cells with energy.
After this additional wash, It makes my hair became more radiant and adds luminosity.
What really excites me is that this contains Vitamin B7 which is beneficial for hair growth and overall hair health. It strengthens both the hair follicles and the hair shaft. Now I can miraculously grow my hair quicker and healthier!The Sunflower Oil which contains Tocopherals (oil soluble antioxidants) and Cinnmic Acid (natural UV protector) act as a natural sunscreen for the hair. It is also high in Omega 6.

Directions to use:

- First, apply HYDRATE-ME.WASH to wet hair then rinse it.
- Then, apply HYDRATE-ME.RINSE to freshly washed hair, leave for 1 to 2 mins then rinse.

The fragrance for both the wash and rinse are really pleasant and smell of  something like sweet citrus. The texture also feels gentle and light.

Wash

Rinse

Look at my drying and frizzy hair  before using the Kevin.Murphy range >.<

And Tadah! My manageable hair after just one use.

Of course if you want to see something like smooth,silky and shiny, I think that will be impossible with just one use, considering the fact that my hair original conditions are beyond rescue. 😅

 Feel excited to try them? You can now redeem them for free on samplestore, whilst stocks last!
