Essential Sleeping Hair Mask Review

Sponsored Post

Do you know that as you toss and turn in your sleep, your hair rubs against the pillow and it causes friction? This damages the hair.

What is Pillow Damage?
When sleeping, tossing and turning causes hair to rub against the pillow, creating friction. We call
such friction caused by the pillow as Pillow Friction.

- Pillow Friction causes the hair cuticles to open up unevenly, causing hair to be rough, frizzy or prone
to tangles. We call such hair damage caused by pillow friction as Pillow Damage.

- As a result of Pillow Damage, you wake up the next day with frizzy, unmanageable hair like a lion’s
mane. This is commonly referred to as bed hair.

- To solve this problem, people usually have no choice but to wash their hair in the morning. Washing
hair ‘resets’ the uneven alignment of hair cuticles and makes hair smooth and manageable again.
However, by having to wash hair in the morning, they have to wake earlier and sacrifice beauty sleep.

- Alternative solution to the bed hair caused by Pillow Damage is to use new Essential Sleeping Hair Mask, which protects each hair strand and minimizes Pillow Damage.

Problem(s) I faced with my hair

I always wake up with tangled hair and sometimes i have knots in them, i always wonder why. NOW I KNOW. I'm someone who always tosses and turns in my sleep and i can't help but feel frustrated with my hair sometimes. In fact, i always complain about my hair to Bryan - "Too Flat" "Split ends" "Too dry" but i have to say my hair isn't THAT bad to begin with.

Because of the condition of my hair, i have to use conditioner every day. I read it somewhere that it's not good to rely on conditioner but i really don't have a choice. I don't want to go out with hair looking like a lion mane because let's face it, hair is really important. It can either make or break you.

To solve my hair issues, i was given a bottle of Essential Sleeping Hair Mask and a bottle of Essential Leave On Serum. However, i'll be focusing on the sleeping hair mask. 

How does Essential Sleeping Hair Mask works?

The milky, non-greasy texture is absorbed instantly by your hair and forms a protective layer 

between each hair strand and your pillow, protecting your hair cuticles from Pillow Friction 

while you toss and turn. Ladies can confidently look forward to stronger, healthier and silky 

soft hair that is easy to manage and style the next morning

My review

• More managable hair when i wake up in the morning
• Less tangled hair
• No more knots in my hair

It's also nice smelling like any other Essential hair products. Like i said, my hair isn't very horrible to begin with. In fact i think it's actually not bad considering that i've bleached before (for highlights) and i've dyed them countless times. Nuff' said. Let me show you my before and after photo.

It works like magic isn't it?! Hehe i've been using the both the Sleeping Hair Mask and the Leave On Serum religiously now.

Cure Natural Aqua Gel Review

Sponsored Post

Have you always wanted to have a flawless complexion?
Want skin as smooth as silky tofu?

I WANT!

I remember vividly when i was in primary 2 or something i didn't like tofu at all. We were having steamboat when my mum told me, "Tofu is good for the skin!" and guess what, i just forced myself to eat all the tofu in the steamboat. I was only 8 years old and my skin was already good enough then. HAHA #sibeivain. Btw, i genuinely like tofu now i guess i got used to it.

So anyway, if you want to have better skin, you will love the product i'm going to talk about! Cure Natural Aqua Gel is so popular in Japan that a bottle is sold every 12 seconds!

What is Cure Naural Aqua Gel?

A gentle, non-abrasive water-based exfoliating gel that contains no fragrance, no alcohol, no artificial preservatives or colouring. Suitable for all skin types, even sensitive skin. It removes dead skin cells gently and effectively to help in skin renewal for softer, smoother and brighter skin.

A basic skincare must-have to prevent skin problems such as enlarged pores, blackheads, pimples, blemishes and dull skin tone. Discover how your face brightens up and how your make-up glides on beautifully after using CURE. 

I like how it's in a pump bottle instead of a tube or tub.

How to use Cure?

• Wash your face and towel dry well.
  
• Pump a dab of gel on your finger.
  
• Apply on your face and massage in a circular motion for 30 to 60 seconds to remove dead skin.
  
• Rinse face with water and follow your daily skin care regime. 
  
  

My Review
I mentioned before that i don't like facial products with fragrance which is why my favourite part about CURE is it's made up of all natural ingredients. It's important not to stress our skin (you don't want to have breakouts do you?) so always try to use all natural products on your face. I also love the fact that it's very gentle on the skin! The skin on our face is actually more sensitive than other parts of our body, especially the eye area. The skin there is exceptionally tender and fragile so frequent tugging will cause winkles and fine lines around your eyes (I've learnt it the hard way...).

 Some people might think that if the product is too gentle, it wouldn't work. BUT trust me when i say after exfoliating my face, my skin feels so much softer. 

Just a few rubs and my dead skin is out! Hehe

Darlie All Shiny White Charcoal Clean toothpaste Review

Sponsored Post

Today's post will be on something everyone needs; Regardless of race, language, religion or age. I'm quite psyched about it because i've been using the same brand for as long as i can remember. I've tried other brands but i'll always go back to Darlie at the end of the day. Let's face it, having a nice set of teeth is really important as it can improve your overall appearance drastically.

In my opinion, other than having straight teeth, having white teeth is equally important.  

Received Darlie All Shiny White Charcoal Clean toothpaste in my mail recently C/O of samplestore.com :)

Activated Charcoal (or some say activated carbon) is a natural teeth whitener. It is just charcoal that’s been treated with a few gasses to purify it completely and turn it into a powerhouse of porous material that sucks in impurities from the environment around it.

Here are the benefits of Darlie All Shiny White Charcoal Clean toothpaste:

- Clinical proven effectively whiten your teeth in 14 days

- Speedy Whitening Agent (SWA) removes yellowish stains

- Contains natural bamboo charcoal molecules effectively absorb dirt and deeply clean your mouth.

- Contains natural bamboo charcoal molecules which absorb dirt and deep clean the mouth. Combine with SWA whitening agent which delivers effective whitening result, bringing dual whitening benefits.

- Clinical proven effectively whiten your teeth in 14 days.

- Speedy Whitening Agent (SWA) removes yellowish stains.

- Contains natural bamboo charcoal molecules effectively absorb dirt and deeply clean your mouth

- Fluoride for healthy teeth

Of course i'm super excited to try because i heard bamboo charcoal has purification properties. It helps to absorb moisture and it detox your body as well (for charcoal bread). Obviously the toothpaste wouldn't help to detox my body since i'm not consuming it but i have so much faith in charcoal products haha.

My Review

For years, my whole family has been using the normal Darlie's toothpaste (Darlie Double Action) so i think it takes a while for me to adjust to the non-minty taste of the charcoal toothpaste. This tastes almost like bubblegum to me haha. If you like "flavoured" toothpaste, you'll probably love this. I'm not so much of a "flavoured" toothpaste person so i definitely need some time to get used to it. I've gotten used to it now after using it for 6 days already. Are my teeth any whiter? Honestly, I thought there is a slight difference. I'm not sure is it psychological effect but it is really slightly whiter to me. Yay to natural teeth whitener! No need to visit the dentist (which i dread going) to clean/whiten my teeth! Hehe.

After 6 days of using Darlie ASW Charcoal :D

Where to buy?

It is availabe at selected major NTUC FairPrice, Giant, Cold Storage, Sheng Shiong, Prime and other leading supermarkets, Watsons, Guardian, Unity and other cosmetic stores from March 2014. It's basically available almost everywhere and that's what i like about it because it's so convenient since it's readily available.

Bio-essence Hydra Tri-action Aqua Droplet Sleeping Beauty Mask Review

Sponsored Post

Recently Bio-essence just launched their latest Hydra Tri-action Aqua Droplet Sleeping Beauty Mask! I know the name is really long and is quite a mouthful but doesn't it sound promising?! How the name (aqua droplet) came about was because it actually transforms into aqua droplets upon application! You just have to rub it for 3 seconds and aqua droplets will form

thus it offers total 3X hydation!

Not only that does it hydrates, it also nourishes and protects your skin making it supple and firm!

Sealed for hygiene purposes! 

With 2 types of Hyaluronic acid (Power Nano hyaluronic acid and hyaluronic acid), Cranberry Extract & Bio Energy Fluid, it provides long lasting hydration and protects the skin from environmental factors. Bio-essence Aqua Droplet Sleeping Beauty Mask replenishes moisture, nourishes and repairs your skin non-stop while you sleep. Upon application, hydrating ingredients magically transform into big aqua droplets which are rapidly absorbed to constantly replenish and lock in moisture. 

Hydrates: 3X hydration power

Power Nano Hyaluronic Acid:

• With an average nano molecular size of 15-25nm, it absorbs quickly and easily into the skin, making skin instantly hydrated and moisturized.
• Superior moisture retentation capability to keep skin firm, plumped up and moisturized

Hyaluronic Acid: Forms a large lock water network to effectively lock in moisture, keeping the skin moist and soft.

Cranberry Extract: Works as a great moisturizer and aids in moisture retention, improving skin elasticity and suppleness.

Nourish

Cranberry Extract provides excellent conditioning of the skin for a healthy glow. with Bio energy Fluid which further nourishes and refines skin texture.

Protects

Cranberry Extract is rich in anti-oxidans which protectes skin against harmful free radicals, environmental and UV damage.

I didn't photoshop or do anything to it at all! I just took it on different days hence the colour difference. 

Look at the droplets of water! So amazing right?

My Honest Review

I've been using it for about a week now and i only apply in at night because i don't apply moisturizer before putting on makeup in the morning (i'm really lazy). Anyway, I really like how moisturized i feel whenever i apply it on my face. You can literally feel your skin being hydrated immediately because of the aqua droplets formed upon application. It looks thick and heavy in the tub and when you spread it, it turns slightly matt but if you continue spreading and rubbing it, it turns transparent. Initially I was worried because like i said, it looks thick and heavy and my skin cannot take products that are too rich. I've had milia seeds once when i used Bobbi Brown's eye cream so i was worried that this would happen to me but i'm glad it didn't. The skin actually absorbs it pretty fast! + Point! I was quite surprised to find my skin still quite moisturized when i wakes up every morning. Another + point!

My only complaint (or maybe not for some of you) is that the smell is a bit too strong. It smells really nice and good but it's a tad too strong for my liking. Almost felt like some sort of perfume haha but that's just me. Other than this, this product really does what it says and i will definitely buy it!

Here's a recent photo of me (before i cut my fringe)

And this is an even more recent photo of me (taken on 12 Nov) 

Took this at midnight while i was preparing to sleep haha but i only had concealer in this photo! My skin looks pretty alright right? 

I give Bio-essence Hydra Tri-action Aqua Droplet Sleeping Beauty Mask the credit for it!

I really love basic clothes so much because they are so easy to match. You won't look too sloppy and at the same time, you don't look underdressed as well. Here are some of the clothes that i really like from shopthelust.

Simple yet nice. They have it in mustard colour too! I can't make up my mind which colour to get.



This cut out bralet was sold out on many webstores. Shopthelust only left with ONE last piece!


I think this tube romper really has a very flattening cut. Look how gorgeous the model looked in this? I like how the front looks like a dress and the back looks like a romper.


Collar shirts are now the hot thing among teenagers. I just love how unique this shirt is. The collar just makes it look less simple and more edgy.


Black paperbag skirt. It's so easy to match with.


They also have collars. I think collars is really useful. It just gives the shirt a really different feel and you look different even though you are wearing the same clothes.
