Exciting piece of news to share!

 

I'm sure everyone reading this buys beauty, health or even baby products. As a busy modern woman, have you ever wished that you can make all your purchases under one roof, without a need for physical trips to the malls? Do you also wish that your products can be acquired at low prices, without having to compare prices from shop to shop?

If your answers to both questions are "yes" (like mine), read on... ...

Review of MAY COOP Cleansing Mousse Review

Editorial

This is the 5th & last item that I am reviewing from my July BNT Beauty box - MAY COOP Cleansing Mousse .

Prior to this, I have never heard of the brand nor have I put any maple products on my face before. But I do love maple syrup on my pancakes. LOL.

In any case, I still braved on and tried using this cleansing moose so I can review for you guys and mainly also because I want to fulfil my obligations toward the sender of this product.

So, let's get down to business!

According to my research, maple sap is collected from the tree and maple water is apparently good for the body. Not so sure what it does to the skin, but since it contains antioxidants, I am guessing it can protect skin from free radicals?

I am sorry I couldn't find much information on this brand. All I know is, they were once featured on Get It Beauty Self - a popular Korean beauty talk show program. (Whatever products talked about on the show gets sold out fast)

Not sure why my package looks so dirty...please ignore.

Pumping out a dollop of foam to show you guys...

Again, as a person who can't read Korean, I can't furnish much information, so I Googled and I found a partial ingredient list on koreadepart.com

Seems like an organic product, although it is not USDA certified or anything like that.

Review of Forencos Lips in Love Lip Tint in 04

Editorial

 If you haven't heard of this brand, Forencos, let me tell you this has got quite a background. It was the sponsor brand for a portion of the makeup, mainly eye makeup for Jeon Ji Jyun in My Love From Another Star, a highly popular Korean drama series back in 2013.

Our dear, dear, ever-so-hilarious Cheon Song Yi. :)

Fast forward to present, this lip tint I am gonna write about in this post is being brought to fame by Sistar So You. (I got my Forencos Lip Tint in the July Beauty Box that BNT News sent to us BNT girls)

Review of Too Cool For School Hot Girl Lash (in Vivid Royal Blue)

Editorial

In the July Beauty Box that BNT News sent to us BNT girls, I was thrilled when I saw the latest mascara from the Korean brand, Too Cool For School.

 Too Cool For School recommended these products as 'Vacation Pouch Must Haves' in an online article. This series of makeup look really cool... probably yes, too cool for school, literally. Haha! I am proud to own something as cool as the blue mascara. And in this blog post, I am gonna share my thoughts & swatches on it.

Equipped with hair bristles, the shape & size of the brush is perfect to distribute an even amount on the lashes without clumping.

The colour is a pretty yet subtle dark blue. Photo & package exhibits an electric blue shade, but in reality, the colour is darker and not outlandish or anything. Will demo on my lashes later.

[Editorial Post] : Daengimori (Ja Dam Hwa The First) Scalp and Hair Cleansing Treatment Review

Daeng Gi Meo Ri Ja Dam Hwa The First seems like quite a handful to pronounce. But once your eyes set on this product, I am sure you won't be able to look away for at least a good one minute.

The red, oriental flowery packaging is an instant captivator. Holding it, the product exudes a luxurious feel that only high end Korean beauty products can give.

This shampoo works like two-in-one shampoo and boasts of scalp treatment effects. It contains herbal ingredients such as ginseng, ginger, foxglove, Siberian chrysanthemum, crinum, gold cocoon, green tea, sage, and chamomile.

(You may read more about ginseng & this product on the BNT website.)

We all probably know by now, how amazing ginseng can be for our skin & body, but even for scalp? Surprise surprise. (Maybe not surprising for you, beauty experts.)

Anyway, this product claims to prevents hair loss by promoting the blood circulation of scalp and manages scalp cleaning and hair nutrition all at once.

If you are able to read Korean, you should really take my suggestion and click on the above image and read the writeup on the package to know more before you purchase. BNT News sent me this in a beauty box, but there wasn't much information written in English. I guess we bloggers are expected to figure out these Korean products on our own and introduce to our lovely readers. But sorry Faithy Lovelies, I think I am not gonna waste time doing too much research on this product ... and I will tell you why later - READ ON.

Review Amaranth Messaline Ultra Hydrating Cream

Editorial

Earlier this month, I was sent a beauty box from Korea by BNT News International.

Basically it is similar to our BlackBox or StylexStyle beauty box. The only difference is this box is sent to bloggers for editorial reviews; and it is a box of Korean beauty goodies that you mostly can't find in Singapore (but you will be able to locate online.)

 Here is glimpse of what's inside the black box.

With gratitude to BNT News, I have received FIVE items! I will be reviewing these babies ONE by ONE, so stay tuned for my reviews! ( Since I am given a non-negotiable deadline to finish all FIVE reviews in a month, be sure I will do so by end of July. Pinky promise. Haha!)

For starters, I picked out my most favourite product to share my thoughts:
