Review : Enavose H2Osis Black Tea Quench Mask

It’s been some time since i last blogged, mainly due to my hectic schedule. Life’s been busy with work & school as usual. What’s new? Lol. I will try to blog more & i will always bare in mind the importance of having a work life balance so i’m looking for my short trip next weekend.  Counting down now!

 

Anyway, today i’m here to share about this little package that i got from Enavose, a new premium beauty brand that was launched in Singapore last year, with a commitment to be a brand with integrity.

First, let me do a little intro about Enavose & why they are different from other products in the market :

• Their products are made in Switzerland
• Do not contain parabens, SLES (Sodium Laureth Sulphate), mineral oil & allergenic fragrance
• Not tested on animals
• Uses natural preservatives as much as possible
• Tested under dermatological supervision
• Uses ingredients & raw materials with species protection in mind

What i have got in the nice little package is one of their best selling products - H2Osis Black Tea Quench Mask together with a sachet of Black Tea with Mediterranean Eucalyptus & Oil of Bergamot.

The Black Tea Quench Mask as the name suggest, was named after the main ingredient used in this product - Sweet Black Tea. The reason why this product is able to made it to the shelf of Enavose’s best selling product is due to their benefit of being able to adequately hydrate dehydrated skin.

All thanks to the Sweet Black Tea use in their formulation. It helps the skin retain higher levels of water, leaving our skin feeling velvety soft, incredibly supple & invigorated. Along with Sweet Black Tea, other active ingredients used includes : Arnica Montana Flower, Gentian Root, Yarrow & Lecithin

I like how thoughtful they are when they send the package to us. It makes us feel appreciated & it shows how attentive they are to very little detail. With such attentiveness, we do not have to worry about falling into bad hands. Don’t we?

 

Benefits of Black Tea Quench Mask, they promise to:

• Moisturise the skin inside out
• Revitalise dull skin in just 15 minutes
• Hydrate the skin all week long with time-released Swiss Glacial Water
• Reinforce the skin’s ability to retain higher levels of moisture
• Leave skin feeling softer, suppler & invigorated

My thoughts about H2Osis Black Tea Quench Mask :

This is the first time i came across a product that uses airless mechanism. The mechanism helps in dispensing the mask with just a gentle push in a downward position. This helps to ensure the freshness of the mask as it does not come into contact with air or contaminants from our fingers or the environment. I like! It’s convenient, mess-free & the product shelf life will definitely last longer.

The mask comes in gel form & it is fragrance free. I apply them generously onto my skin after cleansing & toning for about 15 minutes, followed up with rinsing them thoroughly with water.

I like the fact that it’s has a cooling & soothing effect on my skin upon application, it’s a shiok pampering session for my skin, especially in the weather that Singapore has! After washing, i find my skin brighter & more supple. I didn’t face any irritation or any tightness in skin which i have come across in other mask. Thumbs up!

Along with the mask, i get to enjoy a cuppa of Black Tea with Mediterranean Eucalyptus & Oil of Bergamot which was sent together with the package to us. What’s better than enjoying a cup of tea while pampering your face after a long day? I couldn’t ask for anything more!

I love how the mask works for me, but as a gentle reminder, bear in mind that to have a healthy & radiant skin, the basic key is to provide our skin with enough moisture together with enough rest. If not, various skin problem will come knocking at your door. Prevention is definitely better than cure.

Review : CLEAR Shampoo with Nutrium10

Are you seeking for the perfect shampoo that does the trick like i do? My scalp is sensitive, it gets irritated easily & my hair tends to break easily too. Yet i can’t use those shampoo that is designed for damaged hair, as it is a little too oily for my sensitive scalp.

To be honest, i have yet to find my perfect shampoo yet & you can imagine how frustrating it is. But thanks to The Sample Store, i stumbled across the different range of shampoos from Clear. They are not the perfect one for me, but they are definitely the better one, as compared to those that i have tried so far.

The all new CLEAR shampoos realized the importance of treating hair problems from within the roots & also the importance of scalp care in order to achieve the beautiful strong hair that we desire. Thus, the new CLEAR with Nutrium 10 is formulated for these purposes.

 

There is 7 kinds of CLEAR Shampoo with Nutrium10 available as indicated below :

• Female Clear Smooth & Manageable
• Female Clear Complete Soft Care 2-in-1
• Female Clear Dry Scalp & Itch Control
• Female Clear And Anti Hair Fall
• Female Clear Ice Cool Menthol
• Male Clear Cool Sports Menthol
• Male Clear And Hair Fall

These is the 4 different kinds of shampoo which i have received for my love & myself to try :

A little introduction on the shampoos that i have received :

[ Female Clear Anti Hair Fall Shampoo ]

- With Hair Lock Technology

- For weakened scalp & hair

- Strengthens from the root to tip & increases hair’s defense against hairfall (as a result of breakage) & breakage

 

What i like about Female Clear Anti Hair Fall shampoo :

I like this shampoo that it foams well & thanks to the foam, i feel that my hair is thoroughly cleansed. I have been using another shampoo before this, & it doesn’t really foam & i had a extremely hard time washing my hair as it causes them to tangle instead! Thank goodness, i don’t face such issues with Clear shampoo. Now washing my hair is like a brisk.

I also like this that it makes my hair more manageable but as i only tried the shampoo for a week, i can’t really say in overall if it really fare well in reducing the number of hair fall due to breakage. I will continue to use it & see how it goes!

 

[ Female CLEAR Ice Cool Menthol Shampoo ]

- With cooling menthol

- For all scalp & hair types

- Refreshes & revives scalp and hair with an invigorating burst of menthol freshness

 

What i like about Female CLEAR Ice Cool Menthol shampoo :

As the name suggested, it’s really cooling after each wash, especially after a hot day! I felt refreshed instantly & i like to use it on days when i need some perking up. My hair is now more manageable too

 

For the other 2 shampoo, as it’s a Male shampoo, i pass it to my love to try it out & this is what he have to say :

[ Male Anti Hairfall Shampoo ]

- With Pro-strength Ginseng Technology

- For weakened hair fiber

- Strengthen your hair & defend against hair loss

 

His view on the shampoo :

Personally, he have a healthy scalp & hair, his hair doesn’t break easily so he can’t say whether the shampoo helps in reducing hairfall for him. However, he feel that his hair is more manageable now. Not too dry & not too soft that he can’t style his hair after each wash.

 

[ Male Clear Cool Sports Menthol Shampoo ]

- With active menthol

- For all scalp and hair types

- Ultimate Anti-dandruff refreshment

 

His view on the shampoo :

After trying this shampoo, he feel that his hair is better cleansed & the cooling sensation makes his feel better under such a hot weather in singapore. Other than that, there isn’t much of a difference for him.

 

Feel like trying out the shampoos for yourself?

Review : Hada Labo Hydrating Cleansing Oil

I believe that most of us will be familiar with the different kind of makeups remover that is easily available in the market today. However, to find one that work best for you? That’s the tricky part.

All the while, i have been sticking to water based makeup remover because personally i thought that it’s a better option for me/my skin & I used to be skeptical in trying cleansing oil because it seems to be messy & i always feel that it will make my skin oilier instead.

However, after trying it out for the first time, i found out that it’s a misconception on my part. In fact, cleansing oil removes makeup better when used correctly & it’s more convenient to use/user friendly as compared to using a water based makeup remover. I do not have to stock up on cotton pads anymore & i save more time when removing my makeups which explains why i’m a convert now.

All we need to do is to make sure that the cleansing oil does not contain any mineral oil, which is the factor that contributes to having clogged pores.

Therefore i’m glad when i am given a opportunity to try out Hada Labo Hydrating Cleansing Oil, which was newly launched in November 2011.

 

Why you may love Hada Labo Hydrating Cleansing Oil :

1. Contains High Purity Olive oil – Ensures high performance cleansing, gentle with no irritation to skin

2. Contains Super Hyaluronic Acid – Gives 2x more moisture than normal hyaluronic acid, giving refreshing smoothness after cleansing

3. Does not contain mineral oil which is harmful to skin & clog pores

What i love about Hada Labo Hydrating Cleansing Oil :

1. Does not leave any greasy residue

2. Water soluble, wash off easily by water

3. Moisturize my skin while removing my makeup at the same time

4. Glides onto skin well & is not harsh on skin

 

With just a pump of the cleansing oil :

I tried using it on some products which i use from time to time :

I leave the cleansing oil on for about a minute, after gently massaging them on my skin in circular motion :

Add water to emulsify the cleansing oil & gently massage again :

Then i rinse it off Most of the makeup is gone, except for the Maybelline’s mascara.

I personally find that it did well in removing my makeup & i like it that it can be easily washed off with water without any residues. However, as you can see, it doesn’t do as well in removing eye makeups. Therefore, i will still prefer to use a separate eye makeup remover instead of just using Hada Labo Hydrating Cleasing Oil for my whole face.

 

Keen to try out for yourself? Hada Labo Hydrating Cleasing Oil is available exclusively at all Watsons stores for S$20.90 & before you go, do check out Hada Labo’s page on Facebook here.

Randomness : Hit the mole!

As the title of this post suggested, feel stressed? Hit the mole to relieve some stress!

Hubby got this super kawaii mini size merchandise for me. It helps to relieve stress in some way, by hitting the mole which has red light on. LOL. It has different level of difficulty. The higher level you progress, the faster the mole moves. It also can be used as a keychain. Cool isn’t it?
