My Top 5 Favourite New Products from Watson

If you'd follow me on Instagram, you might know that I was invited to attend a Watson event which showcases all the new products that are going to be sold in store. 

Check them out below...

So before we get into listing all the products above, I'll show you my top 5 favourites from this bunch. 

Secret Day Miss Charlotte M Size 14 Pieces Sanitary Pad

Koreans really do know how to make things better by adding that touch of elegance, I mean just look at the pink girly packaging. I like it when these ladies pad are all thin and sleek, like you are not wearing a thing. Thus, these babies are actually really comfortable to wear for that time of the month. 

Lactacare Daily Probiotic Supplement

In case you are not familiar with the term Probiotics, it is actually referring to microorganisms that are believe to provide health benefits when consumed, aka Easy Poop. You can bet that I've been consistently hitting the toilet after taking this supplement daily >.<

BlanX White Shock Powder White Treatment 

This Italian made toothpaste and LED device is said to let you achieve whiter teeth without being abrasive and peroxide free. Sure indeed, I did not experience any gum sensitivity when using it and I like that it only took 60 seconds for the LED device to work its magic. 

Lion Kyusoku Relaxing Leg Care Range

I've got to admit that I have like the driest, crack-iest (is that even a word?) and the most miserable looking heels ever. Thus, after using the heel mask, I felt that my skin did replenished some of its moisture. I won't say it 100% heals my heel after 1 use, but I can see the improvement on the dry-ness of my skin. 

I do like the coolness of the gel pad for the calf too. Totally soothe my aching muscle after a long day of standing and walking. 

Kinohimitsu UV Bright Grape Seed Extract (OPC)

Kinohimitsu is not a stranger brand to Singapore market as they are well known for their collagen drinks and other supplement. I kind of like how the UV Bright taste, just like grape juice or Qoo (if you love drinking Qoo you'll know what I mean). Although I couldn't vouch for the effectiveness towards Whitening and Fairness of the skin (10 bottles is definitely not enough to make a difference in my opinion), I do sense that my skin's clarity has improved immensely. My skin really did have this glow-from-within effect after consuming the whole box. Thumbs up from me. 

So now, onto the others

Schwarszkopf Beology Repair Oil Serum

Suncut UV Protect Spray SPF 50+ PA++++ (this stuff is good too because I prefer my sunscreen to be lightweight and easy to apply although it does have a light sunscreen scent)

Jorubi Aloe Vera Moisturizing Lotion (if you are experiencing a dry skin day or maybe minor sun burn, do give this a try as its cooling and moisturising)

Nutox Advanced Serum Concentrate (love the subtle floral fragrance and its not too heavy on the skin at all)

Makeup Items: Max Factor Velvet Matte Lipstick, Wet and Wild MegaLast Liquid Catsuit Matte Lipstick, Clematis Lipstick and Clio Gelpresso Waterproof Pencil Eye Liner (my holy grail currently as it doesn't smudge easily)

Naturals by Watsons Macadamia Hand Cream Rejuvenating

Get it Beauty Celabrity Aqua Mask (really liking the amount the products/lotion that comes with it, sufficient to rub it all over my body, my skin felt tight after the products is absorbed too)

Do head over to Watson to have a look at the products or to purchase.

Discovering Natural Skincare Product - Re:Erth

Brands nowadays are always on the lookout for natural ingredients to incorporate into their products to provide the greatest benefit and improve women's skin condition. 

Was really intrigued when I saw the key ingredient in new skincare brand Re:Erth: Japanese White Tumeric.

First of all, let's talk about the rose gold packaging. Its ROSE GOLD!!! Enough said. The packaging has a nice weight to it and it kind of reminds me of a hybrid between glass and plastic. Its sturdy, has a simplistic design and sits beautiful on the vanity. Huge thumbs up from me. 

There are 5 main products from the brand (another one not featured here is their Purifying Bar Soap), from the left:

1. Smoothing Eye Cream

2. Multi-Targeted Elixir

3. Hydrating Gel Moisturiser

4. Calming Toner

5. Clarifying Cleanser

All of these products veer towards the easy-to-use, fuss-free and lightweight category. First, I would use the cleanser to clean my face, then slap on 3 pumps of the elixir before putting on some toner (with the help of a cotton pad), apply some eye cream and finally on goes the moisturiser. 

For me, the star product would definitely has to be their elixir. Upon using it for a month (that is the period of time to judge whether these products are working their magic on your skin), I found that my skin has visibly become brighter and my skin tone seems to be more even. Its like I'm glowing from within, especially at the outer "C" beside my eyes. Even my husband noticed the difference too and believe me when I say he is usually the "you look the same even after a haircut" kind of guy. 

It has a nifty pump to expense the products. 

As mentioned, I use 3 pumps of the elixir every night as my dry skin soaks up all the product literally after 15 seconds of massaging. I love how lightweight this felt on my skin without weighing my face down like some serums do. You know, that sticky icky heavy feeling you get with some lotions/serums which I just cannot deal with...

Pricing at S$135 (or S$108 for member's price), I'd say its a good bargain as you can expect results in a month's time.

To add on, these products smelt heavenly. The scent is light, a little herbally and has a nice soothing non-overpowering floral note. I 100% wish that all my skincare product smell like these. So good!!!

Well, with that being said (on the lightweight part), for me personally I do wish that the Eye cream and the Moisturiser be a little more hydrating. As I have abnormally dry skin and I sleep in an air conditioned room, I think it would be more beneficial if these 2 products can offer more hydration to my skin.

In conclusion, I highly recommend the Multi-Targeted Elixir if you are looking for a product that is lightweight and can help brightens your complexion in a short period of time.

The Answer to Unisex Perfume ~ Mirko Buffini

I am a perfume fanatic. 

Trust me when I say I have over 40 bottles of perfumes and non of them have a similar scent to the ones in Mirko Buffini Unisex perfumes.

This perfumery although a fairly young one, was passionate about producing unique luxury fragrances which are unisex and a perfume takes almost 3 months to complete due to its complex processes and stringent quality control. 

These are the 12 core fragrances that I was lucky enough to sample:

1. Ki - 

Top notes: Bergamot, Orange, Pink Pepper

Base notes: Amber, Vanilla

2. Saba - 

Top notes: Bergamot, Coffee

Base notes: Vanilla, Tonka Bean, Patchouli, Amber

3. Moxi - 

Top notes: Bergamot, Japanese Sake

Base notes: Amber, Sandalwood

4. OG - 

Top notes: Ginger, Black Pepper

Base notes: Leather accord, Oud

5. Gods - 

Top notes: Bergamot, Black Pepper, Nutmeg

Base notes: Cedar Wood, Incense

6. Mu -

Top notes: Bergamot, Violet Leaves, Nutmeg

Base notes: Tabacco Leaves, Olive Tree Wood

7. Haiku - 

Top notes: Damask Rose, White Flower

Base notes: White Musk, Amber

8. Kirk -

Top notes: Pepper, Cumin, Coriander, Black Current 

Base notes: Sandalwood, Tree Moss, Leather Accord

9. Klito -

Top notes: Bergamot

Base notes: Vanilla, Cedar Wood

10. Moa - 

Top notes: Nutmeg, Cinammon

Base notes: Cedar Wood, Sandalwood, Cashmere Wood

11. No. 31 (the first EDP created by the brand) - 

Top notes: Citrus, Lavender, Brandy Chocolate

Base notes: Patchouli, Amber, Vertiver, White Musk

12. Haecceitas -

Top notes: Freesia, Orange Flower

Base notes: Moss, Vanilla

As you might have noticed, the colour theme for this brand is black and white. The packaging of the actual fragrances are divided into these two opposite colours with Black Images representing strong and deep woody top notes while White Images tags the more floral and fruity top notes.

There are 2 fragrances from Mirko Buffini that I absolutely adore:
Haiku and Gods

In my humble opinion (apologies as I'm no elite perfumer thus I'm unable to give you a detail accord of the scent), Haiku veer towards the girly side as its laden with floral accents however settles into a nice lingering musky end. Whereas Gods kicked off with a heady sophisticated citrusy opening which ends with a calming warm woody tone.

Do head over to any Takashimaya 3rd Floor to give each fragrance a whiff or head over to Mirko Buffini Website for more detail info their actual notes and the story behind each fragrance (which is an interesting read to be honest).

Huge thanks to Mirko Buffini for your generosity. ^_^

Father's Day Gift Ideas feat Bolin Webb

OK, Father's Day is less than 4 days away and if you are scratching your head on what to give your dad, then read on as this post might be of help to you. 

For me, personally, I love gifting my man (or ol' man in this case) beauty stuff. Normally my paps prefer money and greeting cards -__-'''. However I do feel that he is lacking items in the self care department thus I think I'm obliged to stock him up on those. 

And here are my picks...

This perfume is a total classic for me. Its the Giorgio Armani Acqua Di Gio Pour Homme perfume. It smells wonderful, very deep, sophisticated, manly but yet clean at the same time. I guess it all boils down to the citrusy top notes and floral middle notes. For me, this perfume should be a staple in most guy's wardrobe to looking good (yes, fragrance can give people the illusion that you are well dressed).

The second gift idea is a skincare product. I highly recommend SKII Facial Treatment Essence (FTE). I've been using SKII FTE for years now and it has contribute magic to my skin. Now, I've turned my hubz to a covet for this product as it helps minimise his pores (he actually noticed it himself as he is very particular about his skin) and reduce some of the oiliness. Hence, I think this would make a great gift for daddy to make him look younger.

And now, for the grand finale. If you are feeling a bit more spendy and you want to pamper your dad with the best gift in the world, I highly sincerely vote for Bolin Webb's Razor. 

Would you just look at that sleek handle design? o_O. Even I (a non-razor user) felt that its a work of art. 

"Well, its just a razor!" you might think. However, its not "just" a razor. It is "THE" Razor.

Bolin Webb, the brand have won a number of award, the most recent being Germany's Red Dot "Best of the Best" Design Awards 2017. That's like up there together with Mega brands like BMW and SMEG designs. Simply impressive.

The razors use either Gilette Mach3 or Gilette Fusion Proglide blades depending on the collection you choose. This blue one right here is the R1-S Blue 3000 with a Mach3 blade. 

Once again, according to my tester (my hubby), this razor feels good to grip. Its ergonomic handle design makes it more comfortable during shaving session. As the handle is solid to hold, the men can expect a smoother and more evenly shaved skin. The bonus point is, it looks like a chic accessory for my bathroom sink. 

If blue isn't your cup of tea, there are an array of colours for you to choose from. Inspired by the world of automotive, each razor is carefully designed with the intention to embrace the curves and colours of cars. 

It also has a matching Razor Case should you need to store the razor or travel with it. 

Recently there is a new collection of prestige razors with their very own stand: 

1. Carbon

2. Gold (OMG!! Its real gold for your info)

3. Chrome

These metallic series will surely turn heads and wow your dad with its high shine, plus they feel luxurious to the touch.

There's even a Union Jack design which I think is super cute. Seriously consider getting this for dad!! 

Overall, I think its an awesome gift for your dad as its quite unusual to give razors as gifts. A practical and beautiful present in my opinion.

Do head over to any Takashimaya 3rd Floor to try out the products or head over to Bolin Webb Website for more info.
