Review of Bella 360° Illuminator Treatment

Sponsored

Summer time is the perfect time to go sun bathing. 

I, on the other hand, avoid the sun like a plague. For me, even a few minutes walk out in the Singapore sun warrants a hat, an umbrella and at least SPF30. Truth be told, despite all the sun protection and brightening skincare products, my skin is still far from Snow White's. 

When Bella invited me over to put one of their latest facial treatment services on trial, I accepted without a moment of hesitation. Illuminating treatment? 360°?! Sounds like what many S.E. Asians (who are into K-beauty and wish to emulate Koreans' fair skin) would love!

Lancôme Juicy Shaker : Review, Swatches, MOTD. WIN these for yourself + FREE makeover!

Advertorial

Welcome the new generation of lipgloss! Following the Juicy Tubes, Lancôme launches their new Juicy Shaker with an unprecedented shake it application, a biphasic formula inclusive of flavoured lipcare oils and finished with a unique cushion applicator.

There's BB cushion - NOW check out a LIPGLOSS cum Lip Oil Cushion!

If you're wondering what it means by "biphasic formula" - it actually simply means there are two phases in this new Lancôme invention: 1. Blend of Silky Oils, 2. Infusion of Pigments.

Oils in Lancôme Juicy Shaker:

• Peach kernel oil - softening and nourishing
• Sweet almond oil - leave the lips supple and re-structured
• Cranberry oil - High in Omega 3 and 6, filled with anti-oxidants, restores skin's protective barrier
• Musk Rose oil - regenerating and soothing

It contains a lot of pigment for a lip oil, thanks to its special formula. Also, the lip oils are flavoured with zesty fragrance - every tube/shade has got a difference scent to it. 

With a total of 20 delectable shades to select from, each shade exudes a different fruity & zesty fragrance, with its own attitude.

5 STAR Shades of Lancôme Juicy Shaker

Juicy Shaker #300 in Lemon Explosion 

and Juicy Shaker #400 in Mint To Be

I've gotten these two shades for review purposes. The first thought that struck me was: Wow, DARING! This combi of blue and bright neon pink really does reflect the assigned (daring) attitude to the shade Lemon Explosion. I mean, how you do actually wear a blue or a neon pink lip gloss? Haha! I will show in a while how I did it... now, Swatches first!

As you can clearly see from the swatches, this lip oil only gives a flush of colour. It's very subtle and natural. It's even more so, if you do not shake it up before application, as pictured below.

HOW I USED THE DUO 

Decided to spice up a little and adopt a DARING attitude! So I applied #300 in Lemon Explosion all over my lips first, followed by dabbing #400 in Mint To Be on just the centre of my lips!

 

MY THOUGHTS

At first, I was a little shocked by the bright colours assigned to me - thought it was too quirky, especially the blue. Upon application, I heaved a sigh of relief! #300 in Lemon Explosion is a sweet sheer peachy pink that gives me a my-lips-but-better look; whereas #400 in Mint To Be improves my natural lip colour by enhancing its own natural pink hues. When used as a pairing with other shades, it volumises the lips a little and provides a glow on top.

Absolutely loved wearing this lightweight lip oil on a daily basis. With this new biphatic formula, it feels so nourishing & moisturising to the lips that I could totally skip lip balm prior to application. END RESULT: Smooth, wrinkle-free lips with a juicy wash of colour.

Not to mention, shaking the tube enlivens my daily makeup routine! Shake shake!!

Review of Yves Rocher Sérum Végétal Wrinkles and Firmness + Thoughts on Elixir 7.9 Face Serum and Eye serum

Sponsored

 

Following my recent shopping haul from Yves Rocher Singapore, I have been most excited to try out and to review this Sérum Végétal Wrinkles & Firmness Botanical Resurfacing Care. If you are still not very familiar about the brand, I have written about it before HERE. 

Sérum Végétal Wrinkles & Firmness Botanical Resurfacing Care is actually an non-rinse exfoliant. Means no unnecessary harsh scrubs or extended duration of rubbing on your face. Just apply and go to bed - I think that alone is a major brownie point!

Review of besolbo Skin Purify Smog Mask

Editorial

The final beauty item of BNT beauty box May '16 is  besolbo Skin Purify Smog Mask - a facial sheet mask marketed to target all skin concerns and claims to form a protective barrier against pollution.

Fortunately for me in Singapore, almost three quarters of the year is free from pollution. But still, I was intrigued to see how this one works.
