[Sponsored Post] Sophie Monk's Strawberry Blackhead Bye Bye Set

 

OMG! Are you always perturbed by these black head problems? Strawberry nose is what everyone always call you? Fret not, Sophie Monk's Strawberry Blackhead Bye Bye Set is here to save the day!

In just 3 simple steps, you can remove most of the blackheads and with a few more times, I bet your nose will be spanking clean and poreless like the model, Makiyo's!

 

Step 1

Deep Sebum Softener

After cleansing face and hand, take 2-3 drops of the serum and apply all over the oily and blackhead area. Gently massage for 2-3 mins, rinse off with lukewarm water. Do not towel off, keep the area wet.

  Benefit: Soften Whitehead, Blackhead and dead skin cell.

 

Step 2

Sebum Purifying Mask

When skin is still wet, apply an adequate amount of the mask all over. (I would suggest a thick layer for easy peeling after).

 Leave the mask on for 20 - 30 mins (You can play with your iPad while waiting of simply take a nap) and after the mask is completely dry, peel the mask from bottom to top.

 Benefit: Absorb deep into pores to clean out oils and dirt. Remove blackheads and dead skin instantly!

Yikes! See the amount of blackhead pulled out?!

Step 3

Pore Treatment Essence

Apply the Treatment Essence on the area where the mask applied earlier on. This works as a toner to tighten the pores and also leave the skin smooth and soft.

 

Benefit: Oil-free Essence! Use to minimize pore appearance and to tighten the pores!

Check out the end results! No more black heads and the skin look so soft. The pores have also looked visibly smaller!

Special thanks to hubby for letting me use him to try on the products. *I had to use his nose, coz his pores are larger and easier to capture on camera. Tehehehee!

XOXO,
Christina aka Huney

[Sponsored Post] NEW Maybelline Pure Mineral BB Mousse, The Falsies Volum' Express Mascara and Color Sensational Lipstick

New month, new products. Maybelline has launched their latest Pure Mineral BB Mousse, The Falsies Volum' Express Mascara and a range of Color Sensational Lipsticks. Thanks to Maybelline for sending over the products.

Here's my review on the products:

1) Maybelline Pure Mineral BB Mousse (SGD $23.90)

The Pure Mineral BB Mousse is developed in Japan, designed as a one-step ultra-lightweight skincare solution to achieve natural looking radiance within a simple dollop of soft, airy mousse! It moisturizez skin, conceals imperfections, and brightens skin tone while providing UV protection with SPF 30. Its lightweight texture provides unified and breathable coverage, while its pure minerals smoothen out pores and perfect complexion with a healthy, fresh nude look.

This is definitely a revolutionary invention. First of its own! BB cream in Mousse form, like you can lay it over a cake anytime!

The benefits of the BB Mousse:

 

•  Hydrates in depth
• Brightens skin tone
• Leaves skin suppler
• Smoothens out pores
•  Lifts dullness
• Reduces redness
• Redefines skin texture
• Protects skin against UV rays with SPF 30/PA+++

I love how the mousse feels so light on my skin and it covers my red spots perfectly, even my dark rings! The product is dried quickly, I don't even have to wait for it to dry, or pat in any face powder to set the mousse unlike BB Creams. Highly recommended if you are always on the rush, wana have your makeup done within seconds!
2) The Falsies Volum' Express Mascara (SGD $20.90)

I know how every much every girl goes through to try to make their eyes seem larger and one way is to wear false eyelashes. Yes, I am guilty of that too, the gluing might get messy sometimes, one might paste the lashes slanted or eyelids feel heavy in the middle of the day.

But guess what? All thanks to Maybelline, a new mascara is added to the Volum' Express range mimicking the effect of fake lashes and free us all of fake lashes.

The mascara is formulated to give Asian eyelashes 5X more volume by combining a trusty wand with a potent potion. The exclusive Spoon Curler Brush is designed to fan out every single lash, while its wider shape ensures generous product application to create a better press and curl. The brush generates maximum volume, leaving lashes with a graceful arch and a sultry over-the-top look.

The mascara’s secret lies in its formula, combining holding and building ingredients to create vertiginous volume. A concoction of gel matrix, a multiwax blend and polymer is used to lift and curl lashes, while ceramides and panthenol are brought in to make lashes stronger, smoother and thicker. The formula is further is enriched with pro-keratin (a protein known for its ability to strengthen and thicken eyelashes) to fill every gap along the lash line, making everyday false lash glam a piece of cake!

I love how luscious my lashes look, fuller, longer and every lash doesn't clamp together. It is waterproof, so don't fear about getting caught in the monsoon season or getting a little teary eyed. Now I can say bye bye to false lashes!

3) Color Sensational Lipsticks (SGD $17.90 each)

Color Sensational Lipstick is formulated to feel like silky honey and at the same time providing moisture, allowing lips to look smoother and fuller. For crisper colors, pure undiluted pigments are used to create a vivid and luminous look, while a light, sweet scent tops off the lipstick to further engage your senses. With its vibrant colors and velvety feel, the Maybelline Color Sensational lipsticks are sure to leave your lips wanting more!

Pink Peony is sweet and glittery. Highly recommended for clubbing or parties. Use with green or blue eye shadow palettes to get right into the party scene.

Tinted Taupe is suitable for a everyday look, going to work and just use earth colour palette for the eyes.

Yummy Plummy all purple-y and sweet. Not really a colour for work, but maybe after work dinner, date or your Sunday picnics. Soft pastel eye colours and a frock is all you need to be a sugar plum fairy!

Peachy Scene is a soft coral colour lipstick that has little sparkly bits, but not as loud as Pink Peony. Go ahead and try all eye colours with this lipstick and use it everyday. I love this colour!

Being a nude lipstick person, I'm afraid coloured lipstick might overpower my eye makeup, but Colour Huney is all about being daring to use colours right?  And now, I am in love with these lipsticks! After applying, my lips a now all smooth and moisturized, there's this shea butter smell to it, so fragrant ~

P.S.: Go ahead and kiss your BF/hubby. The lipstick does not transfer!

Color Sensational Lipsticks come in 20 shades allowing you to pick the colors that suit you best. Designed in a stylish jewel-like casing, the lipsticks are also categorized into four different color families to help you know straightaway which hue you’re reaching out for – whether it’s in your handbag, or off the shelf!

• Revive your lips with Ravishing Reds & Corals (Peachy Scene, Summer Sunset, Are you Red-dy, Very Cherry and Red Revival)
• Pamper your lips with Polished Pinks (Born With It, Pink Peony, Hooked on Pink, Pink Wink, Party Pink)
• Perfect your lips with Provocative Plums (Yummy Plummy, Plum-Tastic, Plum Paradise, Plum Perfect, Mauve Me)
• Soften your lips with Sensuan Nudes (Trendy Toffee, Warm Me Up, Crazy For Coffee, Cinnamon Stick, Tinted Taupe)

 The above products are all available at Watsons, Guardian, SASA, major supermarkets and hypermarkets, and selected departmental stores.

XOXO,

[Sponsored Post] Freshkon Dezigner Contact Lens

Ever since my wedding, I've been hooked onto contact lenses. I have Astigmatism, so I always wear non-powered coloured contact lenses to enhance my eyes and also different colours for different moods and clothings.

I always think I have beautiful eyes and being an artist, I need my eyes to see to draw and paint, so I only get contact lenses from the optic shop (never never online!). Freshkon is one of the brands I will get, I've tried every of their series, FreshKon® Colors Fusion, FreshKon® Alluring Eyes, FreshKon® Mosaic and now comes the latest: FreshKon® Dezigner: Solitaire Series.

They always say, diamonds are a girl's best friend and now Freshkon lets every girl have their eyes bling like a diamond too! The new range of cosmetic contact lenses comes with a unique, groovy Solitaire pattern, that features a multi-faceted diamond cut design framing the iris and gives it a sassy, stunning look.

Solitaire is conceptualized to frame the iris in a multi-faceted diamond cut and comes in four stunning shades - Pink, Aqua, Orange and Green. They are set to appeal to confident young, creative and fashion-sassy women who take pride in being the centre of attraction as they shine with a “diamond” in each eye.

I know you guys are like me right? Always asking what shade there is and what is diameter of the lens, we just wana make our pupils look bigger, to have the doll-like effect eh? Here's a little specifications for you to check out.

Optimal Comfort
• 55% water content for optimal comfort
• Hydrophilic surface for comfortable wear
• Easy to fit, no curling lens problem
Excellent vision
• Large optical zone for clear vision
• Wide power range from -0.00D to -10.00D
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I received 2 sets from Freshkon, Pink and Green and I'm already in love with the star-shaped like, snow-flake like contact lenses! See how it looks when I put them on!

Pink.

Green.

On the left is with contact lens and on the right is original pupil.

Close up on the eye without flash.

What I think about the lenses? Super cute! Get them now! I wore them out for almost a whole day, it still feels comfortable. I didn't have to drop any eye drops, my eyes felt moist all day. I must admit the enlarging effect is not so dramatic like those out there, where you can get online, but at least I feels safe wearing them, without the fear of going blind. I think this is good enough for me. With false lashes and some makeup, these lenses will definitely be enhanced further. See the picture below, I love the soft and sweetness I'm exuding! #buaypaiseh

Well, I would say give the lenses a try and I bet you will fall in love with them. I can't wait to try the green pair on. Do stay tuned for more updates on my other pair of Freshkon Dezigner contact lens!

Bella Belara® Eau De Parfum smells very floral, one of my favourite in this collection. It first captivates with notes of apricot and red nectarine and slowly unveils an irresistible feminine heart of rose and Moroccan Jasmine. Be seduced by the under notes of creamy blonde woods and cool moss.

Belara® Eau De Parfum is for the balanced woman. Sheer and crisp, Belera® calms the olfactory with its harmonious blend of San Joaquin fig, wild bilberry, opal flower, Southern Indian tuberose, milky sandalwood and cotton musk.

Journey® Eau De Parfum romances with its light, transcendental and floral infusion. The first waft of this perfume promises top notes like ice mint, watercress and water lily. It leaves ladies with a lingering scent of wild freesia, apricot musk and beachwood accents.

Thinkingof you® Eau De Parfum was created as a tribute to relationships. Universally received, this bottle of memories combine sparkly mandarin, white peach, jasmine, vanilla and patchouli to form a warm and joyful appeal.

Velocity® Eau De Parfum is loud, wild and unique. The concoction unveils a rare top note of the precious banana flower that precedes an exhilarating mix of tart Mangosteen and dashing clementine.

Little Gifts Eye Compact is packaged in a slim and light black-and-white case, this is the consummate choice for the aspiring and trendy professional. The range comes in three alluring color combination in Crème Brulee, Mint Candy and Berry Soufle. The one I received is Mint Candy and here is some ways I applied the eyeshadow.
