Review: Hada Labo Whitening Lotion

By | Published Tuesday, May 22, 2012

A few months ago i bought his hada labo moisturizer plus whitening lotion. Theoritically, its function is to hydrate and plus whitens your skin. This moisturizer has been quite popular in singapore and its is a relatively cheap whitenning lotion. In japan it is #1 whitenning lotion that is being bought every seconds!

I was quite shock that the lotion is actually very watery and not like those creamy texture that is the usually form at which most lotion can be found in. It has no smell. So for those you hate perfume added into skin products, you may like this lotion. the color of the liquid is semi transparent.

At first I didnt quite like this product as I could not see its whitenning effect on skin. So, I stop using it for awhile....
However, after I went for facial treatment that left me with those acne scar (its a really reddiness stop about ... ermmm... lets just say its quite huge and visible) after its extracts puss from the acne, I started using hada labo whitenning lotion. (I was in a hurry looking for solution to get rid of the scar since I dont use makeup). And so I realize the lotion wasn't as bad as I thought. It kind of accelerate the recovery of my scar and it is less visible now. Plus, its hydrate my skin really well and its not sticky if you were to apply it in a correct manner. Its kind of lock up the moisture throughout the whole day.

I will rate this product 4/5. It you have any questions feel free to comment below and I will reply to your enquries ASAP! (Dont be shy hehe...) :D Sayonara folks!

Review: Hada Labo Gentle Exfoliation

By | Published Sunday, May 06, 2012

As some of you guys know scrubs that consist of exfoliation bits may exert to much stress on our skin and even damage our skin. As such there is thing called gentle exfoliation that are very easy on our skin. One of the product that is Hada Labo Gentle Exfoliation. Hada Labo seems to causing a buzz in singapore so I decided to try it out.

Hado Labo Gentle Exfoliation
One of its main spotlight ingredients are AHA and DHA (as you can see from the picture). AHA helps in exfoliating dull skins without causing harm to it. Whereas, DHA are particularly an important ingredient ingredient as it theoretically helps it removing whites and even black heads. If you have sensitive skin, I believe you should use such gentle "scrub".
To ensure "freshness" of the product
This product also have a safety seal to ensure quality of the product. (Warning: Some customers like to open the caps skin of product to smell if or for whatever reason and they end up not closing the caps well. This can cause bacteria to invade the product!!)
Backview
The above picture is the backview of the tube. You can press the picture to enlarge it. It consist of information of how to use the product, ingredients and why it is important to have one.
Similar packaging like other cleanser
Its really creamy. I swear!
My stand of this product is that this exfoliation cleanser is extremely gentle on my skin and I really like aftermath of its usage. My skin feels extremely smooth/soft and it kind of glows. It do helps in removing small white heads.
However, it doesn't seems to help me in removing blackheads on my nose and other persistent white heads on cheek. (My previous cleanser was able to do so). Furthermore, AHA that contain in this product may potential cause black spot on your face due to its reaction with UV light. As such you need sunscreen with this product even though your at home since UV light is able to penetrate through the windows. (Thats right... So I only use it at night) I find it quite troublesome to apply sunscreen even when I at home. 
I rate this product 3.5/5 due to it's downside I mentioned above. It 2am. I should sleep now.

Virgin experience with zalora.com.sg

By | Published Saturday, May 05, 2012

I did my first purchase from zalora on 24th April 2012 and it arrived on 3rd May 2012 (do your math on how long it take). A lot of people complained regarding their long delivery period, I find it okay though. I bought two shoes. I'm kinda impressed with the packaging. The items are neatly wrapped. But only one of the shoes comes with a box. Here are the pictures:
Box the items came in
Packaging

I usually use size 36(uk3) however the blue loafers are a little tight and the black one is extremely tight for size 36. Do take note if you are considering buying shoes from zalora!

Review: Faceshop Guava and Mango Moisture Body Lotion

By | Published Tuesday, May 01, 2012

Sup all. Exams finally over so as promised I will review more products. As i grow older I realized my skin gets dry very easily. Dry skin is bad because your skin will be prone to breakage that way. And your skin is also prone to acne when it's dry. I bought Faceshop Guava and Mango Moisture Body Lotion a month ago to try it. Paid $12-$15 for a 300 ml bottle. It comes in a press on bottle (is that what they call it? ) rather a tub. I think those which comes in a tub are quite unhygienic when you have keep digging for it.

Okay here's my say on this product: the lotion smells more like mango than guava & mango. The smell is really sweet so if you are not fond of sweet smelling products (like me) I suggest you avoid it. After application, the lotion can be a little sticky sometimes but not oily.

After
Lastly, I feel that the moisturizing effect of the lotion is mediocre. I would rate this product 3.4/5.
I am still looking for a body lotion with a strong moisturizing effect. Do recommend if you know of any.

Oh for those who are still having exams, all the best and remember that "Nothing worth having comes easy" :)

Review: Sephora Express - Stop the spot!

By | Published Thursday, April 19, 2012

Hello again!! It has been a long time since I posted a review. I have actually quite a number of new purchases waiting for my review but I am currently busy for exam preparation. Physics paper tomorrow  X.x.. Hopefully, I will do well.

Today I am going to do a short review my new purchase from Sephora. It is a pimple cream and also a spot remover. Yup it is 2 in 1. (P.S. I just bought a new phone Samsung S2 so the pictures gonna be nicer :) )

Sephora: Stop the spot! 
The back of the tube
 It comes in a small white tube about 15ml. The application of the product is simple and easy. Since it is a tube-like container with a small hole (look at the photo below) you just have to squeeze out the geland apply it any pimple or spot you want. The gel is transparent (trust me it is really transparent) and it smell like errr.. glue? Haha... I'm not joking.

Structure of the tip for easy application
Transparent Gel


My stand for this product is that it is not sticky on the face and does not leave residue on the face like some pimple cream. It is also effective as I can see visible reduction in pimple size and color intensity seems to reduce after several application. Rate: 4/5
