Straight to the point! See… You like my giftbox too?? Received this complimentary gift box (worth S$125) from Bellabox because I’m subscribed to them (again)! See… below was (part of) the email I received… Subscribe now (then) and receive a free $125 gift box!! Why not! It’s like paying $19.95 for 2 box!
Soooo, first thing that attracted me to get this gift box is because of this….!
Anna Sui 870!! A bright cheery yellow! Opaque yellow! Vivid yellow!
Broad brush is another thing I like about it!
Index finger: 2 coat
Middle finger: 1 coat
If you like this yellow, you can check out from HERE to see which is your nearest outlet to grab one!
Well, that’s not the only thing that caught my attention! Another reason why I chose this gift box is because… it has twistband!!
Twistbands are really useful, pretty and most importantly.. cause no dents/damage/crease to your hair!!!
These are the 3 colors I received. basic black and white and a sweet pink that comes with a bling bling!
Next, shampoo & conditioner. I assume I don’t have to introduce this again.. I had received them so many time and i’ll sound like an old lady if I intro them again (like a spoil radio that keeps on repeating!)
Summary, it’s the scent that will keep me wanting to use it.. 😉
VEET! Hair removal cream… erm, not very useful for me as i don’t really have much hair to remove and if I really need to, I usually go to the experts.. LOL! Pampered me~
I had this from one of my beauty box! It looks/sounds really good but i have not used it yet because the thot of having to wash away the mask makes me lazy~ hahaha
You can read up my previous post HERE for more details about this mask pack! C’mon, don be lazy.. (LOL!!)
Next next… something from Adonis.. I never expect to see Adonis product in my trove..
Herbal Peel Gel – Mild exfoliator
Using a variety of Herbs and seven types of natural eco-friendly ingredients, this mask delivers serious brightening, glowing results. The dead skin on the surface of your face accumulates over time, causing a dull, gray complexion. Only with exfoliation can you remove this skin to reveal the soft, new skin underneath, revealing its natural lightness.
Herbal Peel Gel exfoliates gently and expertly, providing a bright skin tone, replenishing your youthful complexion and removing unsightly dead skin.
How to use? Apply a thin, comprehensive layer of the mask on your face, avoiding eye area. Leave on initially for one minute, then spread and massage it into your skin in circular motions. Rinse off with clear water and apply moisturiser and SPF right after.
Dermatox – Anti-toxin
Dermatox provides intensive purification for congested pores. Over time dirt, oil and dead skin can clog pores leading to breakouts, blemishes, even scarring. Prevent and treat your blemishes with Dermatox.
This amazing product will let you know in two ways that it’s properly working: The first is by releasing a strong smell indicating the level of toxicity in your pores that’s being released. With regular use, the smell lessens, proving that there is less toxicity. The second way you’ll know it’s working is by the compliments you’ll receive on your improved, radiant, clear complexion.
How to use? Spray Dermatox onto cleansed skin. Leave on for 5 to 10 minutes and rinse with cleanser. For best results, rinse with Adonis Cleanser.
Justin Bieber roll-on Eau de Toilette .. I’m not a Bieber fans… but this lil nothing smell ok to me!
It’s pretty convenient to bring around! Just one thing about it.. The scent ain’t that lasting as compared to my other perfume.. and the roller isn’t very smooth. Not much perfume “rolled” out when I apply it.. 😦
Ok, now for something that I like again… Dr.Ci:Labo! Again, I’m gonna do it the lazy way! hahaha… click HERE to view more details about it!
Last but not least… A very powerful sunblock!! SPF70!! Hell madness! hahahah! Armada Sport 70 is by VMV Hypoallergenics!
If you spend lots of time outdoors, and want a very lightweight, high performance cream, this sunblock is for you! Extreme protection for extreme outdoor conditions. It’s ultra lightweight and very water resistant.
Impressive PFAs are combined with SPFs as high as 70-90 to effectively screen out UVA and UVB rays for active protection against sun-induced skin cancer, photoaging and hyperpigmentation.
Defensive-line formula creates a unique “barrier-film,” an invisible virtual “second skin,” that stays on skin’s surface to maintain protection integrity in and out of water, and while exposed to harsh sun and heat. Soft, skin-coating silicones give this barrier-film an exceptionally smooth glide and keep it light, so skin stays comfortable.
To Use:
Shake well before use. Apply liberally on face and body skin, carefully avoiding membranous areas of eyes and nostrils. For best results, apply 30 to 60 minutes prior to sun exposure, especially before highly active sports. When outdoors, reapply at least every 1 to 2 hours, after swimming or sweating and after towel drying.
Well, that’s all for my gift box! It’s a quick post because most of the item here are either repeated products or I haven’t use thus not much to share.. All I can say now is… Stay tune for the next box.. I think it’s coming in 2 weeks time…. 😀
Pardon any error/typo you see here.. I’m too tired to proofread yet wana quickly share this with you! Shall make amendments again!
Good Morning Sunday!! I’m soo happy to share with you my October Trove today!! (on the other hand, i’m abit sad.. cuz my dear dearie is WORKING!! T_T Sigh~)
I got my trove last night.. really is NIGHT. almost 10pm but still ok cuz i’m still watching TV and listening to my ipod.
This month’s trove comes with an additional envelope.. but my question is.. how come it’s not delivered by Courex this time? It seems to mi that VT staff delivered the trove personally~
So what do we have here this month???
Pretty heavy trove! and when i open, i’m quite… amazed! Full size products!! not 1 but 2!! geeezz.. felt so loved!
I must say, the first thing that caught my attention!! Bourjois Paris Eyeliner! It’s like a lipstick packaging! Made mi wonder HOW THIS EYELINER LOOKS LIKE!!?? This definitely is nt sample size ya???
Couldnt wait any longer i twisted open the safety seal and TADAAA~~ Pointed eyeliner! it seems like i can use this to draw super thick black eyeliner! ^__^ Happy girl!
I did a small comparison with my favourite eyeliners.. and i think.. tho i can use this to draw a thick black eyeliner guess i’ll still prefer my existing one.. You’ll know why!
Here! this is the little comparison! Your can see the branding in the photo.. You can also see some rub marks on my hand too..
After application, i waited for 5 mins and rub each eyeliner upwards ONCE. Result? TM Gel liner is still wet. BP is not dry too. Kate seems pretty fine already.
After 30 mins, i rub them downwards once again. This time you can see, TM & Kate are pretty set already. Indeed smudgeproof! >_< BP’s eyeliner will still smudge. this point i thot it probably is just not smdgeproof. SO!!!
I wiped it with a wet tissue.. and! IT(BP) CAME OFF IMMEDIATELY!! Kate was almost washed off too.. but TM is “standing STRONG! As for color wise.. tho it’s all black, but i think BP’s black is quite pretty!
Order of eyeliner is still the same (from left to right: TM/BP/Kate).. It’s not very obvious in the pic but Kate’s black is more yellow base. BP is simply black. TM is Blackest of all black! hahaha! Application for Kate & BP’s eyeliner were pretty smooth! TM gel’s liner as compared loses out abit. So depanding on which type of eyeliner u looking for, i think they each have their own unique beauty.
In conclusion, BP’s eyeliner is pretty black enuff for me and i think girls who prefer easy removal process end of the day, this is for u~ Also Also!! if u like smokey eye, i guess this would be a good liner u can use to bring out the smokey effect! How to?? See below video and u’ll know how! 🙂 (NOTE: you may not have the same eyeliner but the effect can be achieved using an eyeliner brush or worst case, BEAUTY FINGERS)
Smokey Eye with eyeliner:
And for girls who like something different, this is definitely fro u! unique level 100%! 🙂

PUSH UP is a luscious body cream with a velvety soft consistency, is easily absorbed and enriched with a mild, pleasant scent of flowers.
PUSH UP Breast, Neck and Tummy Cream uses a host of natural ingredients to stimulate the body’s production of collagen and elastin which in turn boosts the skin’s elasticity. This makes the breasts appear fuller, firmer and shapelier. PUSH UP encourages cell regeneration, fights off wrinkles and firms slackened skin on the neck, chest and tummy. PUSH UP is suitable and beneficial for all ages and skin types, to preserve and revitalize youth, beauty and suppleness of the skin and breasts!
Results are visible after 1-2 weeks of regular use; breasts and skin appear firmer and the skin is smoother, softer and younger looking. As the skin is rejuvenated on a cellular level, stretch marks and scars fade, wrinkles and fine lines diffuse.*
*Clinical tests document up to 9 degrees improvement in 6 weeks. Individual results may vary.

Fortified with olive leaf’s naturally occurring coenzyme Q10, a nutrient that also exists in our own cells, this clear cleansing bar fights free radicals that can cause damage to collagen and elastin fibers. It also frees your skin’s surface of dirt and excess oil while helping to fortify your skin.
In short! It combats rough, damaged, dry and mature skin with the antioxidant-rich goodness of olive leaf extract in this reviving soap. Help your skin feel supple, smooth and restored….
Mild Lotion! This revitalizing tonic helps your moisturizer go the extra mile in keeping your skin freshly hydrated. It’s alcohol-free for gentleness, and blended with soothing cucumber juice to keep things cool.
Olive Virgin Oil.. Sounds oily to apply on face hor..?? but think again!
Bursting with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, Olive Virgin Oil is 100% certified organic Flor de Aceite, one of the purest forms of olive oil available. It has a superior ability to moisturize and soften skin and to help you achieve a remarkably healthier complexion. Its unique hydrophilic properties allow it to form a protective moisture barrier against irritants without clogging pores.

The Essence of Nature – Lavender Patch.. This is something similar to Kinohimitsu! but with Lavender scent that helps relieve fatigue and insomnia by lowering blood pressure and relaxing both body and mind. It also release tension and pacify the nerves without toxicity!
I grabbed below pic/info from The Essence of Nature fb page! Quite factful! give it a read..
It is unavoidable for human beings to have their bodily waste accumulated in their feet, which provide the main support for the body. This is easily observable through daily experiences like stained socks at night and swollen feet when one gets tired. Accumulated wastes in the body can lead to dropsical legs, fatigue, and even disharmony in the body when metabolic process does not function properly. The soles of the feet, where acupuncture points are concentrated, are a reflection of all parts of the human body. They have a great influence on blood circulation, and, as such, are referred as the “second heart”. Toxic matters are often stagnated in the feet, which makes the soles of the feet the best areas for application of the sap patch to experience its beneficial effects.
Seee… easy to use rite?
There’s other 2 types of patch namely, Bamboo Sap Patch & Slimming Sap Patch! They are all available at Watsons for S$29.90 (14 patchs – one week supply)!!
