Fresh Rose Deep Hydration Face Serum | Sephora ad

Finally, my baby arrived!!! And I'm absolutely delirious from happiness and anxiety. How can such a small thing can be the center of my universe and bring so much joy and frustration to my life!?

So anyway, let's get on with the real deal here, Fresh Rose Deep Hydration Face Serum.

Packaged in a white bottle with a sleek rose band around its cap, I'm already liking the outlook of this well-known brand (famous for its extensive use of natural ingredients in all their products like black tea, rose, sugar, lotus and such). 

What it claims:

Rose Deep Hydration Face Serum is a fast-absorbing fluid that intensely hydrates and retains moisture for a healthy-looking, glowing complexion. The soothing formula offers 24-hour moisture* and boosts the skincare ritual that follows.

Key Ingredients:

• Rosewater helps to soothe and rose flower oil helps to nourish
• Angelica leaf extract is known to help retain moisture**
• Porphyridium cruentum, a “smart” algae, helps to deliver optimum moisture***
• Hyaluronic acid helps attract and maintain moisture to enhance suppleness
• Cucumber extract helps to soothe and cool the skin

Dispensed in semi-opaque liquidy form, the consistency is emollient enough to spread across my entire face without effort and I'm happy to report that my dehydrated skin soaks all of them products up. The soothing and calming rose scent is not overpowering nor is it those old-school-grandma-ish kind. I just love slapping this product on, no kidding.

After application, I do feel that my skin is smooth and supple with the dry tightness which tends to linger on my face after cleansing gone in a jiffy. As I've mentioned, my skin is totally lapping up the product.

I would highly recommend to use a moisturiser after this product to lock in the moisture and give yourself more barrier to the surroundings as with all serums, Fresh Rose Deep Hydration Face Serum helps boost and restore your skin's vitality and hydration.

Yankee Candles Votives (Minis) Collection

As you can tell from the title I am an avid Yankee Candle Lover cum Collector. There's just something so therapeutic about little mini cutesy candles that makes me smile whenever I look at them. 

My obsession started when I was in the UK, entering one their flagship shops, giving all of them a wee sniff and BAM I was hooked. 

Anything that smells fruity, fresh, florally and heavenly gets me on the mood of acquiring them. As shallow as I may seem, at least I'm getting myself smelling good. 

Although Singapore is hot all year round and burning the candle in such a hot and humid environment doesn't seem to be a good idea, but I wouldn't it a damn and just light one up.

As I have mentioned, fresh florally fruity scents draws me in. Thus, my collection all consist of the said smell. It may sound boring and repetitive but trust me, each and everyone of them has its own unique scent (hey cummon, I'm trying to justify the reason I'm hoarding so many candles). <3

Look how pretty and colourful they are. Absolute LOVE.COM here. And I've burned several of them (Beach Walk, Pink Sands and Summer Wish) and they are so good. You literally just need to kick start a half hour burn they fill up the whole room. My only gripe is when the fire is out, there'll be this burning smell which is kind of annoying.

So, have you tried any Yankee Candles before? Which candle brand is your favourite? Honestly, I much prefer the Yankees over Bath and Body Works as their scents are more prominent (and much cheaper here in Singapore too).
