[Tried & Tested] Easy Peasy Makeup Removal With ORBIS Oil Cut Cleansing Liquid N (Moomin Limited Edition)

Hi Huneybees,

Not just the packaging, even the paper bag has Moomin printed on!

I have been on constant search for effortless makeup removal methods. I hate those that stings the eyes and takes multiple hard rubs to remove that water resistant mascara! So many fine lines created and simply wad a frustrating way to end the day right?

Well, I've found the one just right for me, 3 pumps of this cleansing oil is all I need to remove all the makeup on my face within minutes!

The lovely people of ORBIS delivered this Christmas present just at the right time. With its limited edition Moomin packaging, you will feel all so girly and back to childhood with sweet dreams immediately after you remove all our makeup.

ORBIS is the Number 1 brand in Japan for Holistic Beauty, being an industry pioneer in oil-free skincare. The brand’s inaugural 100% Oil-Free skincare concept was first introduced in 1987. It was a hit, and ORBIS has since taken by storm various Asian countries like Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan and China.

And like their motto, this bottle of cleansing liquid is:

• Oil-Free
• Fragrance-Free
• Alcohol-Free
• Free of Artificial Colours
• Mild Acidity
• Allergy Tested (Formulated to minimize the risk of allergy)
• Non-Comedogenic Tested (Formulated to minimize the risk of acne)

It's so simple. Now everyday I get home, remove my contact lens and pump 3 pumps of the cleansing liquid in my palm, then I rub it all over my face. I like to use this dry, even though you can do it with water, it's very delicate, no tugging of skin is needed. After which, you can use your facial wash and proceed with your routine face regime.

I even used a makeup remover tissue to test how clean it is after using the cleansing liquid. I'm amazed that there is no residue left! This is my favorite makeup remover by far and I love the moisturised bouncy feeling my skin has after using it!

Excuse my dark circles, but see how clean my skin is!!!

[What's New] The All New Whisper Cosmo

Hi Huneybees,

Whisper, a name that everyone knows has recently launched an all new revolutionary range of sanitary pads. They were the first ones to come up with sanitary pads with wings and new with the Whisper COSMO, it's set to set a new bar in sanitary pads.

Whisper took 20 years to perfect Whisper COSMO so we ladies can enjoy 360 degree freedom of movement. I have to got try it and I'm loving! At the event launch, I was already sold, so when I got home, I tried it as I went to gym (yes, just nice, it was that time of the month). It is amazingly light and flexible, and it stayed dry and soft throughout the session. You know how sometimes the overflow is so scary looking?

Well, because of the Lactoflex, a breakthrough innovation by Whisper, it's soft and thin and everything is quickly absorbed, leaving just a dot on the surface. Phew!

Lactoflex
It is foam-like and it absorbs 3X more to prevent leakages. The bi-layered structure allows for rapid absorption and storage to keep you fresh.

They did a demonstration on the spot to prove the 3D fit to body. True to its promise, Whisper Cosmo managed to absorb liquid flowing from any angle! Brand X failed in absorption and most of the liquid ended on the table.

The launch of Whisper Cosmo was brilliantly launched with aerial yoga at Upside Motion. Together with an introduction of their ambassador - Felicia Chin. Promising 360 degree freedom of movement from the pads, you don't even have to fear being hung upside down!

At the event, I also met Michelle whom I've not met for a long time and it was great to catch up with her. Also thanks for her "modelling" for my pictures while she does the aerial yoga. :)

Grab your Whisper Como at leading supermarkets and pharmacies! Prices range from $6.50 to $8.90. Available in 24, 27 and 30cm.

[What's New] It's Time For The All New Tsubaki

Hi Huneybees,

I came back from my Thailand trip and Cheryl was so sweet to extend an invitation to bring me along to the launch of the all new Tsubaki hair product range. Just what I need! I want to look like those Japanese models on the poster - Mizuhara Kiko (Fashion Model/Actress), Kojima Haruna (Member of AKB48), Ebihara Yuri (Fashion Model/TV Personality) and Anne (Fashion Model/Musician/Writer/Radio DJ).

About Tsubaki

• Launched in 2006
• Leading hair care market in Japan
• Record total number of shipments of over 270 million units

I was dressed for the theme (Yellow, Red and White) to suit their range of hair products and upon arriving, I was asked to sign off my hair woes. Being the perfectionist Virgo, I am tough and strict when it comes to beauty, I literally picked everything as I wanted the perfect hair.... (Dull looking hair, dry and brittle hair, fine hair, itchy and/or sensitive scalp, hair lacks shine and frizzy ends).

There was also several activities going on before the presentation started. One was a Polaroid taking and designing section, memory games for some lovely prizes as well as personal illustrations by 2 talented artists.

Artists - Sharon Yang Ge and Teresa Lim

Cheryl and I both got our portraits done by Sharon and that really made me missed painting. I began picking up the brushes again on my next trip overseas. But I'll leave it for the next blog post...

Ok. So now it's time to present the leading stars...

For the new range of Tsubaki Hair products, they are divided into 3 categories: In red packaging - Shining (For silky manageable hair with satiny smooth texture), in white packaging - Damage Care (Deeply repairs dry and brittle hair for silky smoothness from the roots to the ends) and in yellow packaging - Head Spa (For lustrously resilient hair with volume from the roots).

For all ranges:

• New packaging keeps the original shape and features a softer design
• The 500ml bottle features a shrink-wrap outer package that is easily torn off
• They contain Arginine, a melanin holes repair ingredient
• Contains a UV protective ingredient 
• Contains Camellia Oil (which is Tsubaki in Japanese *It's the brand, of course it has to be in there!*)

Shining Range

Damage Care Range

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,
Christina aka Huney
