HEME Instant Lift and Whitening Eye Mask

When I dont get enough sleep the previous night, my eyes will become very puffy the next morning. What i normally do is to put 2 spoons in the fridge before going to sleep. When i wake up, i will use the back of the spoon on my eyes to cool down the puffiness. and it works really well :)

I recently came across HEME products, endorsed by S.H.E, and decided to give its eye mask a try. You know, once in a while, we still have to pamper the skin :p

Oh, btw, I can never resist buying products endorsed by celebrities I adore. Luckily the list only consists of 4 charismatic ladies -  小s, Hebe, 楊謹華 and 孫芸芸, otherwise I will be damn broke by now.



The name 'Heme' comes from the combination of the words, He & Me, which means the best skin solution for both young females and males. Their range of products includes skincare for breakouts, pores, hydration and whitening. Heme is currently known in the market as one of the few skincare brands specially formulated for young Asian skins, where it offers simple, easy, smart and affordable skincare products for the younger generation.

As we all know, the skin around our eye area is very sensitive and delicate and require special care. There are fewer oil glands in the eye area, which adds to potential dryness. Most face creams are too heavy for the eye area. The eyes will soak up the moisture making the eyes puffy.

Our eyes reveal a lot about ourselves: our attitude, our age, and even our soul. I recommend anyone above 20 to start investing in good eye creams and eye mask. Today, i'm introducing the HEME Instant Lift & Whitening Eye Mask, which is specially formulated for the delicate skin around our eyes.

Instant Lift & Whitening Eye Mask ($18.90 for a box of 5 pieces)

Description: This innovative cutting of the eye mask gives one refreshed and radiant looking eyes. It is specially formulated with patented active ingredients to brighten, depuff and hydrate all skin around the eyes. It visibly improves fine lines. How to Use: Use it after washing your face. Unfold the eye mask and place it over and under the eye area. Leave it on for 10-15mins before removing it. Rinsing off is not necessary.Size: 5pcs/8ml


What is so unique of HEME Instant Lift & Whitening Eye Mask? While normal eye masks come in a pair which only covers the undereye areas, HEME Instant Lift & Whitening Eye Mask covers the entire eye area.  As shown above, the eye mask looks like a masquerade mask.  With this design, the entire skin around the eye area (under eyes and upper eye area) gets pampered and hydrated.

Newly Launched- Hanamei + Viccal

Annoyed with dark armpits? If you are, like what i used to be, then continue reading this entry.

Experts say that mostly all joints like knees, elbows and armpits are dark compared to other body parts. Excessive use of hair-removing creams and shaving are the major causes of darkening armpits. However, shaving does not remove hair by the roots and the chemicals present in the hair removal creams result in discolouration of the skin under the arms. Bumps, ingrown hair, darkening of the skin, inflammation and soreness are just some of the more common problems that your skin can suffer from. With the latest medical technologies, you can now easily get rid of them or lighten the skin tone of that particular area.

Hanamei® is created specifically to care for your most intimate area especially after any hair removal therapies. Besides providing instant relief after waxing, Hanamei® also help keep delicate skin supple, smooth and fair over time.



Description
The Hanamei® Brightening Serum contains multiple botanical actives to minimise ingrown hair and lighten darkened skin caused by hair removal and micro-abrasion especially at the underarms, elbows and kneecaps.

Use the Hanamei® Brightening Serum to:• Maintain elasticity and resilience of skin• Minimise ingrown hair• Lighten the appearance of skin darkened by hair removal and micro-abrasionThe Hanamei® Brightening Serum can also be used on the underarms, elbows or kneecaps to lighten and smoothen out rough skin!

Directions:Gently pat a few drops on the desired areas after cleansing. For best results, use twice daily and massage until serum is fully absorbed into skin.



The clear yellow tinted liquid serum is light and has a very faint rose scent. Its water based texture make absorption fast. There is no sticky/ greasy feeling after usage too.

It comes in a dropper bottle, thus making application hassle-free. No worries about dispensing too much serum out from the bottle.

After using the serum twice a day (day and night), for around 1.5 weeks, my underarms and kneecap looks fairer, brighter and smoother!!!! No more ingrown hair problems for my underarms as well :D I really love this product a lot because the result is evident. I doubt there are many products out in the market that helped to solved your underarms problems. If you are having underarm problems, then redeem your free sample now by emailing to questions@hanamei.com

I was sponsored another product up for review as well.

Viccal carries 3 different types of serums for people with different skin type/ problems,

No. 1.10 - Nurture & Strengten
No. 2.11 - Detoxify & Heal
No. 3.12 - Revitalize & Energise

and I was sent the No. 3.12 - Revitalize & Energise. Visit their website,  http://www.viccal.com.sg/, if you are interested to find out more about the other 2 types of serum.





I was really glad and excited when i was sent the Viccal 3.12 serum. I have very dry skin, probably because i stay in a air-conditioned environment almost 22 hrs a day. My face will feel very tight after washing my face. It might seem normal, but its not, especially when i'm only using tap water to wash my face. In recent years, i started seeing fine lines appearing and my skin is not as radiant as it used to be. and so, i have been trying out different moisturizers and serums these few years. The Viccal serum cost $185!!! If not for this product sponsorship, never will i try onto such an expensive product, especially when its a new brand in the market. Now, you know why i'm excited when i received the product :)

*opps. i threw the box that came with the serum, so no product description and usage guide. For me, i used the serum 1 or 2 times a day. Apply the serum after cleansing and before applying moisturizer.



The Viccal 3.12 serum is a slightly tinted clear liquid and has a very mild smoothing scent.
Similar to the Hanamei serum, the Viccal serum comes in a dropper bottle. With that, application is very easy and hassle-free.

I started using the serum about 1.5 months ago and i'm pretty glad for its results. At least it stopped the itchiness and helped to maintain the moisture in my skin. The serum is non-greasy and absorbs into the skin really quickly, leaving the facial skin soft and silky. Most likely, i will continue using this product on a long term basis, despite its high price. I strongly believe it will come in handy especially when i travel overseas. With just 1.5 months of usage, 20-30% of the fine lines on my face seems to have disappeared. My face looks more radiant than before too.


Your chance to redeem the Viccal serum is now here. Be a fan of Viccal facebook page to find out more details.

Play under the sun with SUNPLAY

Polytechnics are starting their orientation camps and universities will be having their camp trials within these few months.  It's gonna be the period all of us enjoy most. But its effects are horrible. Sunburnt and ugly tanned line are the common problems all of us faced after all the fun.

Throw these worries away cause im gonna introduce you 2 hero products from Sunplay!
Sunplay Super Block Sunblock Lotion SPF 130 PA+++ | 35g | $17.20

I have only used Super Block once during our recee trip to sentosa siloso beach.  I would say its quite effective. At least i don't suffer from sunburn like previous years. For sure, this product (Super Block) definitely gonna be in my camping bag. No way am i going to be a roasted pig this year. LOL

4 stars for Sunplay Super Block Sunblock Lotion

  • It is the HIGHEST available UVA&UVB protection.

  • Its water-like texture is light on the skin and is non-greasy. It is easy to blend out and gives a glowing finishing on my skin. p.s. If you have oily skin or is prone to acnes, this water-based sunscreen is for you :)

  • The only tiny complaint i have of the product is that it is too watery. So i have to act very fast when applying.

  • There is no strong sunblock smell after application.

  • It is water resistant and does not require frequent re-application.

If you think applying sunblock lotion is a hassle, then try this newly launched product...




Sunplay UV Body Mist Sunblock (SPF80 PA++) | 150ml | $17.90




This newly launched (March 2010) product  is an easy-to-apply sunscreen with high SPF80 protection from harmful UVB rays that cause the skin to become sunburnt., and PA++ protection from harmful UVA rays that cause wrinkles and skin-aging. This spray quickly became the bestseller sunscreen upon its launch in Hong Kong last year. Even 小黄love it.


Directions
  • Hold 6 to 8 inches away from body

  • Apply evenly on the skin

  • Do not spray directly onto face

  • Spray onto palm and evenly apply on face.

  • Re-apply after swimming, perspiring



Awwwww... Totally in love with everything about this body mist sunblock. Definitely a must try sunscreen if you have not.

Why i <3 Sunplay UV Spray:

  • It is waterproof, sweatproof and long lasting for all kinds of outdoor activities.

  • The UV body Mist is really very fine and applies evenly onto my skin. I can now even protect hard-to-reach body areas on my own with just a few spray.

  • It has a lightweight and non-greasy texture.  In addition, the UV body mist absorbed really fast and give my skin a healthy glow.

  • Unlike many other sunscreen in the market, the UV body mist has a nice refreshing citrus scent. After spraying, it gives a lovely cooling sensation that will help to soothe sunburned skin

  • The bottle is very light in weight, hence its very convenient to bring it everywhere i go.

  • What is there not to love about this? hehe :p

Tips to all:
  1. Apply sunblock 30 minutes before going out in the sun. This gives the ingredients time to attach to the skin.

  2. Most people don't apply enough sunblock. It's OK to use more than you think you should.

  3. Cover all of your skin that's exposed to the sun. This includes your back, ears, behind your knees and your legs.

Frozen Mochi

Yummilicious Mochi from Taiwan...


I love mochi ever since I was child, because it’s soft, a little gooey, but not too sweet! Bought these 2 boxes of frozen mochi from ichef via gmarket last week since its reviews are not bad. There are some promotions going on. if you are a mochi lover like myself,  i recommend you get yourself a box or 2 coz they are really yummy :p

Red Bean Mochi


Bought this mochi because of its unique flavoring - dusted with brown sugar.


The mochi have a nice maple smell and are coated with brown sugar powder rather than the standard sugared cornstarch dust.  The red bean is thickly wrapped in a gelatinous marshmallow-liked glutinous rice layer. It’s a little lighter than i had expected and is very chewy. Plus point for the mochi is its sweetness - sweet but not overwhelmingly so. I think i can finish the whole packet at one go :) Overall the mochi is really good. My only complaint about it is that I did not like the brown sugar powder dust sprinkled on the mochi. Firstly, it spoils the overall taste of the mochi by a little. Secondly, the powder keeps falling, unlike the standard sugared cornstarch dust. It gets very messy and you see clumps of brown sugar powder everywhere.

Red Bean with Green Tea Mochi


A total of 6 pieces in each box. Unlike the red bean mochi, this green tea mochi is in a circular shape and is smaller in size.


I loved this mochi. The glutinous rice molds of each piece is soft & chewy, as they should be. The green tea powder sprinkled on each piece of mochi brought out a pleasant green tea  flavor, not too strong, but not subtle either. As I opened up the packet, the smell of green tea immediately filled my nostrils. The whipped cream and red bean paste filling made the mochi beautifully sweet, yet not too overpowering. Definitely one of the best pre-made packed mochi i have eaten so far <3<3<3
