[Tried and Tested] Replenish & Rejuvenate With Herbalife SKIN

Hi Huneybees,

Replenish and Rejuvenate are 2 of my favourite words when it comes to skincare. With my late hours and lack of sleep, I need to always look fresh and fully charged. Being able to replenish the moisture loss in my skin will help me to achieve that.

Herbalife has just the right products for that. Herbalife SKIN is their newest skin care line and they have been formulated with an optimum blend of Vitamin B3 and antioxidant Vitamins C and E together with Aloe Vera, to give you smoother, more radiant and lines-free as well as wrinkle-free skin with visible results in just 7 days! It is suitable even for the sensitive skin and even the guys can use it too!

I was given the range of products to try out and you can actually work around them according to the 3 different skin care programs that help cater and address to your specific skin care concerns.

1. Basic Program includes Soothing Aloe Cleanser or Polishing Citrus Cleanser, Energizing Herbal Toner, Daily Glow Moisturizer and Replenishing Night Cream
2. Advanced Program includes Basic Program products with an additional of Line Minimizing Serum, Firming Eye Gel and Hydrating Eye Cream
3. Ultimate Program includes Advanced Program products with Purifying Mint Clay Mask and Instant Reveal Berry Scrub 

It's really an easy ABC when it comes to using the products as they have all been numbered, you simply follow the steps into it. I have been doing my mix of trying out the products and I'm really looking the results, as my hubby has been saying I look fresher these days... =)

For myself, I prefer using the Polishing Citrus Cleanser compared to the Soothing Aloe Cleanser. The orange citrus fragrance is super awakening especially in the mornings and I love how my skin feels squeaky clean after using it. It is more recommended for the Normal to Oily Skin, but it still works fine on my Sensitive Skin.

The Polishing Citrus Cleanser has microbeads in it whilst the Soothing Aloe Cleanser is just a translucent gel.

After which I would spray on the Energizing Herbal Toner. Yes, I said spray. This works like those facial mist that you use and all you have to do is just pat it into skin for absorption. There is no sticky feeling after that and the skin absorbs it fast. It is infused with Aloe Vera, Vitamin B, Vitamins C and E, which helps prep my skin for the rest of my skincare.

Then comes a favourite of mine - Line Minimizing Serum. You can have it all over the face, or simply concentrate on the areas that you want to target. I always use it on my laugh lines and I can see my skin getting more plumped up around that area.

For eye cream, I chose to use the Hydrating Eye Cream, which I was told that my eye area is pretty dry. It does help in lessening those fine lines. It is said to lower the amount of sweat and oil glands, I guess that would require a few more times of usage...

Last step is to moisturize. In the range, there are 2 types, one for day and one for night - Daily Glow Moisturizer and Replenishing Night Cream.  The day moisturizer is light and makes my skin look glowy, but the downside is that you still need to put sunscreen as it is not included in it.

As for the night moisturizer, it is slightly thicker, richer in texture, and it does take a while for the product to be absorbed. It feels a little sticky, but well, when I wake up with skin feeling smooth and hydrated, it's all ok for me!

Last but not least, if you want, you can have the Instant Reveal Berry Scrub and Purifying Mint Clay Mask 2 times a week. The fragrant scrub has berry seeds in it that kinda reminds me of the Jasmine Cake sold in Tim Ho Wan. They help remove the dead skin and for a refresher, the mint clay mask is definitely my must-have. My skin feels so fresh and recharged with the spearmint and rosemary in it. I love it!

Check out the berry seeds in the scrub! 

The clay mask is green and it's minty!

The Herbalife SKIN range is available across Asia Pacific markets from min-June 2014 and will be rolled out progressively in the additional Asia Pacific markets by 2015. For more information, go to www.herbalife.com.

[What's New] BioNike - Defence Elixage To Beat Aging Skin

Hi Huneybees,

BioNike (pronounced as bee-yo-nee-kay) is a brand that pioneered the production of dermatological cosmetics in Italy. Specializing in the research, formulation, production & marketing of skincare and beauty products for sensitive, allergic & reactive skin. 

Boasting that their products are PRESERVATIVE-FREE, FRAGRANCE -FREE, GLUTEN-FREE and NICKEL TESTED (which rarely brands list on their ingredients list).

Nickel is not an ingredient of cosmetics, it is a contaminant. It is not shown in the ingredient list on the cosmetic product packaging, thus consumers do not have the chance to know whether a product contains nickel or not, UNLESS THE PRODUCT STATES IT IS FREE OF NICKEL.

I knew this hyper sensitive skin of mine, needed a little pampering when I was invited to BioNike’s recent product launch at the Chameleon Club in Dempsey Road. The event proved to be benefiting and I learnt a lot about skin allergy...

Under the BioNike brand, ICIM International srl markets a comprehensive range of lines to offer all possible cosmetic solutions to customers. Triderm, Proxera and Acnet are long-standing cosmetic lines targeting medical skin conditions such as eczema, xerosis and acne. These lines are supported extensively by doctors, who prescribe them to their patients. The DEFENCE range includes a number of lines from skin care (anti-ageing, make-up) to body care, male skin care, sun protection, etc.

At the event, Singapore idol runner up - Tabitha Nauser performed for us. She's been a BioNike user, check out her glowing skin!

The event that day also marked the launch of BioNike's latest range - DEFENCE ELIXAGE. 

It is made with cutting-edge formulations that combine the exclusive Subli-F.A.C.E. complex to strongly revitalise the skin through an "ELIXIR OF YOUTH" effect.

WHAT'S SUBLI-F.A.C.E.?

It is an extensive range of products that target at reducing fine lines and wrinkles, returning elasticity to the skin, improve the complexion and retain moisture to the skin. Here's a list of the products that they have...

DEFENCE ELIXAGE ELIXIR - Regenerating Fluid (SGD 349)

This is an intensive treatment of concentrated vital energy. It stimulates the natural production of structural skin components, promotes natural skin regeneration and strengthens its defence mechanisms.

DEFENCE ELIXAGE SATIN - Regenerating Cream (SGD 339)

Used as a day cream, the Regenerating Cream promotes the skin's natural regeneration mechanism, enhances the repair processes and counters damage from free radicals. It is best used with the Elixir Fluid to enhance the results.

DEFENCE ELIXAGE VELOURS - Nutri-Regenerating Cream (SGD 349)

Suitable for night use, the Nutri-Regenerating Cream works the same as the Regenerating Cream, and with additional selected lipid ingredients derived from avocado and shea nut, it provides instant and long-lasting comfort even to very dry and aged skin.

DEFENCE ELIXAGE CONTOUR - Eye-Lip Balm (SGD 149)

The eyes and lips tend to be the neglected areas and with the Eye-Lip Balm, you can target those areas to leave the skin toned and supple, nourishing the delicate thin eye and lip contour areas. It even provides an immediately perceived filler effect!

DEFENCE ELIXAGE INTENSE - Anti-Aging Mask (SGD 169)

Working as a treatment for the skin, the mask is suitable for all skin types, even the very dry ones. It is ultra creamy and enriched with precious dermo-protective oils to further protect and enhance the skin.

DEFENCE ELIXAGE - Food Supplement (SGD 108)

Other than treatment on the outside, they also have the supplement that compliments from the inside. With a balanced formula of Vitamin E, Zinc and Selenium, one tablet a day after meals help reduce the basal levels of free radicals and increases the total antioxidant capacity (TAC) by 77.5% after a month use.

I was given some of the products from the DEFENCE ELIXAGE range and I will be trying them out.

[Tried & Tested] O.S.T Original Pure Vitamin C-20 Serum Works Wonder On My Skin

Hi Huneybees,

I returned home to find a package waiting for me at the table. I finally received my O.S.T Original Pure Vitamin C20 serum from Wishtrend! The product is nicely wrapped with bubble wrap and the product reached  me in tip-top condition.

According to the Wishtrend site, the O.S.T Original Pure Vitamin C-20 Serum was the best selling item of 2012 and was even ranked the best selling item in Singapore No.1 commerce (2012)! There are also many benefits listed, like how it can tighten up loose skin, can whiten or recover trouble scars, and remove blackheads.

• Volume : 30ml
• All Skin Types
• Made in Korea

The product came titled in English, but the rest of it is in Korean, lucky at Wishtrend, they have a review video as well as some product knowledge and how to use.

The O.S.T. Original Pure Vitamin C20 serum comes in dropper bottle, with the dropper packed separately, so that the Vitamin C is kept fresh in the bottle. The bright orange packaging already spells it all and the dark coloured is used to block out light which will cause the Vitamin C to oxidise and lose its effectiveness. So, after opening, keep it refrigerated. (*Applying the cool serum on my skin is also very refreshing every morning.)

There's a fresh welcoming citrus fragrance when you open it and I like how they used a dropper system to maintain the state of the serum, leaving it uncontaminated and so you can share it with your mothers and sisters.

The serum has a slight yellow tinger and it feels thick with a gooey consistency, but it is super absorbant! I basically apply 2-3 drops on my face after cleansing my face and applying toner. A few simple massaging of the serum and it gets fully absorbed into the skin.

At first, when I first started using, there was a slight tingling sensation. I was a little frightened as I have hyper sensitive skin, I thought I was having a reaction. But after Googling, I realised that is so for the first few usage, and it is true. 4 days after using the product, the feeling is gone and I guess the product is starting its magic on my skin.

The fine lines on my skin seem to have lighten, become less obvious and my face seemed to have its own glow back. If you have been following my Instagram, I have gone with minimun makeup recently, coz I really love how my skin is showing off its natural beauty ~ 

Here are also some of the FAQs on the website...
