Febuary Trove – Romancing Beauty

Posted on January 23, 2013 by Tempted to Love

Dang dang dang dang~~~~ It’s time again for Vanity Trove!!!

This month’s trove is a bit… half excited and half not. Why?? Read on!!

Seems pretty “light” this month ya? haha.. nothing too hoo-ha about~

So first, Let me introduce you to something that i’ve seen at most 7-eleven outlet!

*drumroll*

The GABANite All Natural Drink Relaxer…! Like what is printer on the bottle, specially formulated for night time to help you sleep! Gamma Amino Butyric Acid (GABA) and melatonin are naturally produced in the body and are responsible for relaxation and sleep. This drink provides the additional GABA and melatonin (along with other important ingredients) needed for individuals to relax and be calm during times of stress which affects sleep. Better sleep leads to better work performance, social interaction and better life.

I haven try this because i have no problem sleeping at night thus I’m pretty worry if i drink this i will … OVERSLEPT!! hahahaha!!! Will i??? I can’t recall how much 7-eleven is selling this but it probably won’t cost more than S$5 per bottle like this and a bottle is about 60ml! For maximum result drink whole bottle at one go(!) else half a bottle should do the trick! Zzzz~ (should be tasty in a way as its berry flavour, with a natural sugar substitute, Stevia.)

You can check out THIS SITE for more GABANite drink information!!

No wonder people says.. PACKAGING IS VERY IMPORTANT This not-very-eye-catching Aloe Vera Gel by Jorubi is the “Gem” of Jorubi products!! This aloe vera gel soothes/moisturizes skin, promotes healing of minor burns/wounds/ulcers, relieves rashes/sunburn/chaffing/abrasions/skin irritations. (reminds me of the Moa green balm)

This gel is not very expensive.. S$19.80 for 120ml, S$11.20 for 30ml and S$3.75 for 10gm! Easily available at Watsons/Guardian/SaSa/Unity!!

NOW THIS IS WHAT I WILL GO CRAZY FOR!!! Not only its from KIEHL’S!! IT’S….. Clearly Corrective™ Dark Spot Solution!

Tho its only 4ml but each time (morning & night) i only have to use a drop only spot area before moisturizer..

Clearly Corrective™ DARK SPOT SOLUTION is a fast-acting serum that evens skin tone and diminishes dark spots to impart overall radiance and luminosity to the skin:

• In as little as 2 weeks, 55% of women clinically demonstrated a significant reduction in dark spot intensity.
• In 4 weeks, 69% of women clinically demonstrated a continued reduction in dark spots intensity and 73% of women showed a significant reduction in acne scarring. Reduction in other skin discolorations was clinically evident among 69% of women.
• In 8 weeks, 87% of women clinically demonstrated more uniform skin tone to deliver breakthrough clarity.
• With continued daily usage, Clearly Corrective helps to prevent the formation of future dark spots and other skin discolorations.
• No Silicones. No Parabens. No Fragrance. No Colorants. No Optical Diffusers.

I had use it for *counting* …. about 3 days already and i’m pretty impress with the results! No.. my freckles are still visible but they seems to have lighted quite a bit! Not too sure is it due to Shakura facial treatment or Kielh’s! but i think both plays a part!! if this Kielh’s is still working after i finish the whole sample, i tell you.. I’M GONA GO GET ONE FULL SIZE SOLUTION!!! What? how much you are asking??? Seriously if is works well i think S$49.50 is still consider alright for a 30ml bottle!!!!

Hmm.. that means this 4ml we got from VT is worth S$6.60? 4ml last easily more than 2 weeks for me.. great! this is…. totally a good investment!! HAHAHAHA!!

Alright, next in the list.. something from Origins.. not too excited about this as i recall i’ve gotten this in one of my trove alright.. just a regular anti-aging serum.

I believe this tube is no stranger to most girls out there!! BB Cream from Skin79. Many firsl are crazy over Skin79 bb cream.. but for my, i think Ettusais better.

This bb cream is a bit too runny and coverage is not there. If i need to use this, i think i will apply it on top my my Ettusais bb cream to give it a dewy glowing look! It will works well for people gg after dewy glowing look and coverage is not an issue for them. & where to get them? Watsons/Guardian/SaSa/BHG/John Little/BeautySpring! Not too hard to find ya!?

This little soap caught my attention! It’s Yuan Mandarin Orange Soap – Sweet Happiness! I like the oriental and unique packaging. As this is a sample size, we are not able to see the embossed print on the regular soap. (continue scrolling down)

(looks quite different eh?? LOL!!)

Antibiotic was discovered in a mould found in an orange peel. The tangerine plant has a sweet scent that calms and helps relieve stress. Besides the function of preventing cellulites, it has a gentle whitening effect with antibacterial properties. Suitable for dry normal to dry skin.

Ingredients: Olive (Olea Europaea) Oil, Water, Coconut (Cocos Nucifera) Oil, Sucrose, Tangerine (Citrus Tangerina) Extract, Grapefruit (Citrus Grandis) Peel Oil, Orange (Citrus Dulcis) Oil, Bergamot (Citrus Bergamia) Oil

Cost is quite “wow” for me.. 100gm ±10g for RM29.90/NT250/S$13.90 and only available at selected Unity Pharmacy..

you know one thing that will always turns me on?? …. ok, other then anti-spot products.. YES! Masks! From face mask to hair mask to hand/foot mask! & this month, we’ve got a Love More Face Mask!

This snail healing mask is enriched with the precious snail mucin and is made to deep hydrate your skin and heal epidermis tissue for a renewed and younger looking complexion with Copper peptide for anti-aging, firming and anti-wrinkle effect. & like all other mask, you just need to apply this mask on cleanse face for 15-20 mins!

Visit HERE to see more Love More masks! Sexy Mask available toooo!!! Just looking at the website already made me wana grab all their mask!! SOOO MANY MASK!

Last last last but not least!! This little SOUFFLE MARIN Energizing Oxygenating Serum from Phytomer!

Lights up your complexion like a walk in the sea air. A real breath of fresh air, this serum contains active marine ingredients which neutralize harmful pollutants, enhance the skin’s natural defenses and help it to breathe – for a fresh complexion and toned skin.

Okay, those sounds like what u read from the web! To me, the best that i see is.. this serum is suitable for oily-combination skin and tackles pimple and blackheads/whiteheads problem!

I don’t know if it works but if you are keen, it is only available at Guardian (MBS & Paragon ONLY) S$119 for 30ml.. guess its very exclusive… 🙂

June Bellabox – Summer Upgrade!

Posted on June 7, 2012 by Tempted to Love

Just when i thot i’ll be missing my June box last night.. there comes a knock on my door!! As i peep through my peep hole, i saw my favourite courier guy!! He’s here to bring mi my June Bellabox!!! Why i say favourite?? Because he’s the very patient courier who delivered my first VT to me.. i think this time round he sort of knew that i wun be home early so he came rather later..? or maybe i’m just guessing too much! hahaha!

Anyway… i’m still glad to be able to rec’d my Bellabox before i go to bed!!!!

We have LOADS of goodies in this month’s box!! See.. it’s all 好料！！Biotherm.. Lancome.. Shu Uemura.. Ralph Lauren.. Kiehl’s.. and this time round, Bellabox throw in quite a few giveaway in the box.. 😀

So here … let’s take a look what do we have from Biotherm…

A BB Cream.. i think i’ve been rec’g quite a number of good BB cream lately.. I’m very happy about it.. So what’s sepcial about this BB Cream? well.. other thn the usual SPF protection, it’s also oil-free, provide 24hrs hydration and give you a natural pink undertone of skin shine.. What attracts me most is that.. repeated use of this BB Cream, dark spots fade and skin radiates!! Ain’t that unbelieveable?!

Now here’s another “body lotion”.. this is Biotherm’s anti-drying body milk.. This body milk smells really familiar.. i just can’t recall what is it… it’s not just orange or lemon.. it’s.. it’s……..

I tried a lil bit on my hand and it doesn’t feels very oily and it gets absorbed very quickly.. it makes mi wana apply more cuz i feel as if the lotion is gone.. as for how moisturizing it is, i think i have to try a few more time.. but as of now, I’m quite liking this two Biotherm product!!

Next from Kiehl’s.. Midnight Recovery Concentrate(left blue).. i heard many good review about this working wonders..

In the day, your skin is busy fending off environmental aggressors like free radicals. At night, the skin gets a breather to repair the damages, as there are few environmental aggressors to detract it from its healing process. The formulations of Midnight Recovery Concentrate and Midnight Recovery Eye enhance the natural repair and regeneration process at night, when your skin is at its maximum ability to absorb nourishing ingredients. This dream team is formulated with a complex blend of botanical oils including Squalane, Evening Primrose and essential oils including therapeutic Lavender which are rich in Omega 3, 6 and 9 to biologically replicate skin’s natural lipids and dramatically restore skin overnight. Both products are free from artificial fragrances, parabens and mineral oil, nourishing your whole face in the most natural way possible.

Enuff said! i think i will try this to9!!!! *can’t wait*

Next we have this Calendula Herbal-Extract Toner. It has real flowers in the bottle.. WOW.. im so amazed!!

This effective toner is formulated with select herbal extracts to gently cleanse and soothe normal to oily skin types without the use of alcohol or harsh synthetic drying agents. Our Calendula Herbal-Extract Toner may be used to soothe and improve problem areas.

i will save the best for last.. i think i will used this after i finish my existing stock of toner…

Next we have here is Lancome’s product! (wow.. things are getting better!! i think i will expect more from Bellabox in future leh!! oh no..)

Crystal Brightness! Seriously.. i have not even open up and peek at this yet.. im so clueless wat to write about this.. hahaha!! i shall review it again when i got the chance to!!

Visibly rejuvenated skin in just 7 days. Vibrant with youth, skin looks lit from within – breathtakingly radiant. Its youthful quality returns: cushiony soft and velvety to the touch. Skin’s tone is astonishingly even; its texture dramatically refined.

Next, Youth Activator… Zhun bo?? haha i think my mom will love this… but come to think of it.. isnt it time for me to use anti-aging products too!!??!! Looking at the ads i think this youth activator mite works!! hahaha good marketing!

Ralph Lauren Eau De Parfum.. eh.. quite surprisingly it smells nice.. i like the smell.. its not those feminine type of scent.. quite strong.. it’s definitely not sth like kenzo flower or Bvlgari Rose Essential.. heartz!!

Shu Uemura cleansing oil.. this is a make up remover from wat i know.. but not those that are strong enuff to remove waterproof makeup.. i shall try this to9 and keep you guys posted!! 😀
