Sponsored Review: Dress Me Masks

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

I was recently sponsored to try out some Dress Me Masks, I have tried & tested the products out and here's my personal review on 2 of them.

Here's a little bit of information of the ingredients of the Dress Me Oil Control & Purifying Mask taken from the Dress Me website.

Dress Me Oil Control & Purifying Mask eliminates impurities, detoxifies, repairs and refreshes the skin. With Spiraea Ulmaria Extract, the antibacterial mask removes dead skin, minimizes pore and maintains oil balance for clear and smooth skin.

Nasturtium Officinale (Watercress) Extract, containing vitamins A, C and D, has an antibacterial and tonifying effect on skin. It helps to eliminate impurities and congestions in pores. It stimulates, purifies and refreshes 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.

Algae Extract is derived from the sea plants that is rich in minerals that nurtures, softens, smoothens the skin by helping in retaining moisture. It normalizes the level of skin’s moisture and provides suppleness to the epidermis. It has skin firming and anti-irritant properties, which detoxifies the skin from within and helps the metabolic processes of the skin.

Arnica Montana Flower Extract has anti-inflammatory properties and enhances
blood circulation while repairing damaged skin. It helps to tighten pores and
prevents skin sensitivity.

Citrus Medica Limonum (Lemon) Extract helps whitening and brightening the skin.

Spiraea Ulmaria Extract removes dead skin, minimizes pores and maintains oil balance.

Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Extract is a natural alternative to salicylic acid, which brightens skin and removes dead skin for smoother and even toned skin.


My review on Dress Me Oil Control & Purifying Mask: I really like the effects that I get from this mask! I can see a noticeable difference after I have used the mask! My pores definitely shrunk in size and they look much smaller and less visible. I can also see some visible brightening effects, but not too obvious. Dress Me Oil Control & Purifying Mask is highly recommended for those of you who have oily skin or large pores. Definitely able to see a difference!

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

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.


My review on Dress Me Whitening & Brightening Mask: The effect that I get from using this mask is that I can see that I got fairer! Not too much on pore-refining though, but it does brighten up my skin by quite a bit. This is great for those of you who need to whiten your skin!

Lash Extensions - 3rd time experience

I was out with some of my girlfriends; initial plan was to have a nice lunch over at Arnold's (City Plaza) but we all ended up doing lash extensions! It was an impromptu decision! It was really really cheap over at City Plaza, $30 only, so I was like, heck, the previous 2 times I paid $50 each so $30 was considered a real steal!

The results!

I really really liked it! I think it is by far the best-looking one and the neatest looking one if I compare it to my previous experiences with lash extensions.

No makeup face on the left, with makeup face on the right.

If you are interested, I did mine at Indulgence, City Plaza, #01-40. Tel: 67487325

This is NOT an advertorial. I am promoting them because I find their work & service really good. Throughout the whole process, they were really patient with all of us! (Like retouching my lashes a few times because I am just fussy haha & did not charge extra at all! $30 flat.) I hate it when people rush through their work! Those are the shops that I would NEVER promote.

Makeup Project

So, if you have followed me on Twitter, you would have known that I have embarked on a little project a week or two ago, just so to make sure I touch/use ALL my makeup. Yes, I do have a ton of them, just that I usually end up using the same colours every single day (because I am FOREVER in a rush) and not touch the rest of my makeup stash. Which is obviously a waste because unlike clothes, makeup DO have an expiry date.

The project that I created for myself was the "new blush, new lipstick, new day" project. Basically, I need to use a different blusher and lipstick every single day till I am back to the first blusher and lipstick I started on.

Here's some pictures that I took. Did not manage to take a picture every single day because, well as said, I am FOREVER in a rush. ;)

My eye makeup is pretty much the same because I really suck at applying eye makeup. Haha, oh wells. Need to work on that.

Sponsored Review: Britney Spears Radiance Perfume

I was recently sent a bottle of Britney Spears latest perfume, Radiance, for product consideration. (Thesamplestore & Luxasia collaboration)

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Britney Spears latest perfume - Radiance, is created in partnership with Elizabeth Arden and it is the latest addition to her perfume line. The perfume will be launched in November 2010.

The frangrance scent is described as "Luscious berries and dewy petals unfold to reveal a radiant heart of luminous pure white flowers, lit from within by the glow of precious amber, woods and sexy musk."

I have tested the perfume out for a week and here's my review on it.

PACKAGING: Some may find the packaging a little tacky since it is adorned with fake rhinestones all over, but well, it looks really pretty, so I am fine with it. I also prefer perfume bottles with a solid base instead of other shapes, like circle or anything weird like that since I get clumsy in the morning, so I am happy with Britney Spears - Radiance packaging since it comes in a safe-looking rectangular bottle with a solid base.

SCENT: It's light and has a flowery scent. It smells very sweet too. If you are into strong scents, this might not be the perfume for you, but for me, I loveee light, sweet-smelling, flowery scents (because overpowering, strong smells gives me dizzy spells) so I was definitely delighted with Britney Spears Radiance. It does have a musky smell to it, perhaps due to the jasmine scents in it.

UNIQUENESS OF THE SCENT: Sadly, Britney Spears Radiance did not impress me. It has a generic floral smell & it does smell like the floral scents that you already have in the market. However if you like a fresh, simple scent, this definitely will work for you.

LASTING POWER: It lasts all day! (One spritz on the pulse points) I did a test by sniffing my wrist every 3 hours for the whole day and I can still smell the scent at the end of the day. Although the smell does fade by quite a bit by the end of the day, it still lingers on till the end of the day, so that was great.

FINAL THOUGHTS: It is definitely more of a grown up scent for women rather than teens. It was a bit too musky and overpowering at the first spritz but after some time, the scent settled down pretty nicely and I actually like how the scent lingers on throughout the day and settles to a light, sweet smell.

PRICE LIST IN SINGAPORE:
Eau de Parfum Spray, 1.0 fl. oz/30ml $68.00
Eau de Parfum Spray, 1.7 fl. oz/50ml $86.00
Eau de Parfum Spray, 3.3 fl. oz/100ml $103.00
Body Souffle, 6.8 fl. oz/200ml $43.00

Britney Spears Radiance will be available at SaSa outlets in November 2010 & TANGS Orchard, TANGS Vivo City and OG Albert in December 2010.

COMMENT ENTRY
Name: Kay
Email: thevelvetgoldmine@gmail.com
Why do you think you should win?: I used to use Banana Boat sunscreen religiously for years when I was younger, when I used to swim regularly, but after my teenage years, my skin has become more sensitive and prone to acne and so I started trying other brands. Right now I'm trying a Neutrogena sunscreen, but my HG foundation doesn't spread smoothly when I use it and so I'm on the search again :( My lips also get chapped very frequently and I've never tried a lip balm with SPF. As I'm going on a diving trip to the Philippines in the end of Dec, this would be the perfect time to test these products, esp since Banana boat is a very reputable brand and the packaging makes me feel nostalgic :)

COMMENT ENTRY
