[What's New] Say Goodbye To Little Miss Free Radical With BRAND'S® InnerShine®

Hi Huneybees,

Whether you are out shopping, playing with friends in the sun, using the computer or simply cooking, this red little girl is always following you. Who is she? She is Little Miss Free Radical.

When I was out with bloggers at BRAND'S® InnerShine® event last week, I noticed many Miss Free Radical-s (enacted  by models in red hood) out playing everywhere.

STOP! They might look like your friend but don't be deceived by their cute appearance, these Little Miss Free Radicals could actually cause you to age ever faster, especially in today's polluted and stressful city life. Watch this video and you know what I mean...

Scary right? It's like a horror movie right? She haunts you and follows you in your daily life, you can't escape her, but what you can do is to have OPC (Oligomeric Proanthocyanidins Complexes) "keep" them busy and keep them at bay, so that the girls would not come to disturb you. 

OPCs is an active ingredient that strengthens collagen in your skin and helps reduces the loss of elastin - the protein that keeps the skin firm. Together with the powerful Antioxidants and Anthocyanins from the berries extract of BRAND'S® InnerShine® Berry Essence with Grape Seed Extract, it provides natural goodness for the skin.

BRAND'S® InnerShine® Berry Essence with Grape Seed Extract (IBGE) is an all-natural nutritive essence from 5 premium berries (blueberry, blackcurrant, chokeberry, acai berry and cranberry) and it is further fortified with OPCs.

I have been having this berry goodness ever since it's launched back in 2011. It has kept me looking good and youthful. It has been a secret weapon of mine for a long time and now I'm sharing it with you!

So, nowadays, even though Little Miss Free Radical still lingers around me, I know I have nothing to fear as long as I have BRAND'S® InnerShine® Berry Essence with Grape Seed Extract daily, the OPC will keep her at bay. All I have to do is toss her the purple ball of OPC!

The BRAND'S® InnerShine® Berry Essence with Grape Seed Extract taste almost like have a grape juice or some might say like Ribena. I always have them chilled and even my hubby loves it. See how young we look (*Vain*)....

Cheers to youth!

You can find out more on BRAND'S® InnerShine® Facebook Page as well as take part in to watch the campaign video and participate in the Facebook game and lucky draw to stand a chance to win prizes.

Ending the blog post with the bloggers I met that day as well as the BRAND'S® InnerShine® team...

BRAND'S® InnerShine® Berry Essence with Grape Seed Extract is retailing $24.90 for a pack of 6 bottles.

* Available at selected FairPrice, Cold Storage, Watsons, Guardian and Unity outlets

[What's New] Be Young and Price Saving With Kiehl's

Hi Huneybees,

As age catches up with me, I am on the constant search for anti-aging products. With a brand that I trust - Kiehl's, I seem to have found the solution. 

At the Kiehl's "POWERHOUSE" Bloggers' Event, I was introduced to the Kiehl's Powerful Wrinkle Pore Reducing Cream and Kiehl's Powerful Wrinkle Reducing Eye Cream. Combined with Copper and Calcium, the products helps strengthens, reorganise the elastin of skin, prevents collagen degradation and aids in the collagen formation.

After a few weeks of using the 2 products, I can see the fine lines under my eyes reducing, not so obvious and definitely look a few years younger!

Together with the new product launch, Kiehl's have also brought in a very, very good news. As they are gaining quick popularity across the world, they have decided to REDUCE their prices so that more of you can benefit from their products! 

Totally a worldwide first across all brands! With inflation and increasing costs on EVERYTHING, Kiehl's have definitely helped us alot, especially at the pockets.

BRAND'S Innershine RubyCollagen Essence

Now, as I hit the big 3, I am getting more and more conscious of my myself, especially looking for signs of aging every single morning. So, I immediately jumped on board when BRAND'S Innershine invited me to their RubyCollagen Essence event. 

The new BRAND's Innershine RubyCollagen Essence range is said to turn back the clock and reveal younger-looking skin through a portfolio of oral supplements that promote beauty from within. It is the company’s first dedicated anti-aging supplement series and opens up a new dimension in the world of anti-aging skin care.

As we age, collagen levels in our skin continually dip as its ability to synthesize new collagen begins to diminish. Environmental and lifestyle factors such as ultraviolet (UV) rays, stress, and smoking further accelerate the loss of collagen. In order to fend off the visual signs of aging, it is necessary to not only replenish lost collagen, but also prevent further collagen degradation in the skin from occurring. Inspired by this insight, BRAND’S InnerShine developed RubySignature, a formulation designed specifically to challenge the existing paradigm in anti-aging skin care.

It was an afternoon lunch affair and we got to understand more about the range whilst enjoying food served. There was a special presentation on holistic anti-aging skin care by guest speaker and renowned aesthetic expert Dr. Elias Tam. As well as, Cerebos scientist Dr. Lua Bee Leng who delved into the science behind RubyCollagen's powerful proprietary skin age-reversing formulation. 

Derived from a unique blend of precious ingredients – micro-collagen peptides and Astaxanthin harvested from a special strain of micro-algae – RubySignature is a proprietary skin nutrient matrix that promotes firmer and more youthful skin.

At 500 times, 800 times, and 6000 times more powerful than Vitamin E (Kurashige et al 1990), CoQ10, and Vitamin C (Nishida et al 2007) respectively, Astaxanthin is one of Mother Nature’s most potent antioxidants. When combined with micro-collagen peptides – collagen molecules that have been broken down through a sophisticated hydrolysis process to aid in faster and more effective absorption by the human body – the resultant RubySignature formulation sets a new standard in oral collagen supplementation in the pursuit of ageless beauty.

The replenishment of collagen levels in the skin is necessary to support its structural foundation for improved firmness and elasticity. Astaxanthin serves as the perfect complement by acting as a natural shield against the harsh and collagen-depleting rays of the sun. In containing both micro-collagen peptides and Astaxanthin, RubySignature defies the aging process by performing a vital triple-action of supplying, protecting, and delivering. While skin is supplied with much-needed collagen to restore lost collagen, Astaxanthin protects against collagen degradation to allow for proper skin cell turnover. Moreover, it also supports healthy cellular metabolism by promoting microcirculation, thereby effectively delivering collagen and other skin nutrients to the skin cells.

Infused with natural pomegranate juice, BRAND’S InnerShine RubyCollagen makes for a truly delicious treat and an indispensable beauty oral supplement that addresses the heightened needs of aging skin. Designed to easily complement your existing topical skin care routine to form a comprehensive beauty regimen, the BRAND’S InnerShine RubyCollagen Essence range is available in both drink and strip formats. Daily consumption will help to ensure that your body is adequately supplied with the essential nutrients for optimal skin support and protection. For optimum efficacy, it is recommended that BRAND’S InnerShine RubyCollagen be consumed twice daily to experience the skin age-reversing difference in 6 weeks*.

Ok. All these might sound technical, but then it's something oral, so it's better to know what goes in right? Actually I prefer the taste of the RubyCollagen Essence compared to that of their Marine Collagen. This one tastes more like raspberry and do not worry about any fishy smell, there isn't any!

I prefer having the RubyCollagen Essence Strip, as it is easy to bring around and can be eaten as a snack while at an event or shopping. I have them twice a day and it's been a month since I last had them, I can feel my skin condition getting better, not breakouts so far and I'm literally glowing from within!

The BRAND'S Innershine RubyCollagen Essence contains no sugar, artificial colourings and/or preservatives, so literally everyone (unless allgergic to seafood) can have it!

Note: Do not take if you are allergic seafood or have existing medical conditions, do consult your doctor before having it!

The RubyCollagen Essence range by BRAND’S InnerShine is available at all leading personal care stores.

Price List:

BRAND’S InnerShine RubyCollagen Essence (50ml x 10): SGD $57.00

BRAND’S InnerShine RubyCollagen Essence Strip (15g x 10): SGD $36.00

BRAND’S InnerShine RubyCollagen Essence Trial Pack (1 Strip + 1 Drink): SGD $8.80

Cheers to youthful, beautiful skin!

The Rebranding Of DHC

I was recently at the campaign program for the rebranding of DHC with some fellow beauty bloggers. DHC is the No.1 direct mail skincare company in Japan and they have now re-aligned their brand philosophy to focus on "Beauty Inside Out" - Beauty is more than just on the surface. They are presenting a whole new beauty regime that caters to inner and outer beauty with a series of new product launches.

Targeting different skin issues ranging from acne to anti-aging, DHC has developed 2 key product lines to work in synergy to produce effective solutions to any beauty concern, supporting the brand's move towards an all encompassing health and beauty experience.

To allow us to fully understand the products and how to use them, we all sat down on the tatami mat for a "lesson".

These will be the products introduced tonight.

Frst up, the Star product - DHC Olive Virgin Oil that you can use in the comfort of your home for the facial treatment. Follow the stesps below and not only can you improve the face's blood circulation, you can also look to achieving the sharp V-shaped face that everyone desires.

Then, using a warm towel and the DHC Medicated Q Pack Sheet using warm towel to refresh the skin for the supple, bounciness.

Lastly, finish off with the Kakonjuka series to rejuvanate the tired skin.

So, once the surface has been treated and pampered, it was time to get beautiful from the inside too...

I put on the hygiene cap and then it was time for the cooking class.

We created spaghetti, sushi and a dessert that makes use of the new DHC Collagen Powder and DHC Collagen Beauty 7000+.

Note: They can't be cooked. So either sprinkle the powder on top of your spaghetti or pour the collagen drink with the yogurt for dessert. I never knew collagen could be incorporated this way and seriously, I'm adapting it everyday! I;m having collagen everyday!

 

Tempted to get the DHC products already? The latest range (DHC  Kakonjuka, DHC Collagen Power, DHC Cleacea) can be found at Watsons Bugis Junction, Compass Point, ION Orchard, Takashimaya S.C and Raffles City.

The other DHC products can also be found at the key island stores at Watsons Choa Chu Kang Lot 1. NTUC Hougang Mall, IMM, Jurong Point, Parkway Parade, Tampines 1, Tampines Mall, Vivocity and East Point.

More photos can be viewed in my album here.

XOXO,
