(Review) Fighting Acnes with Biolee acnépris Range

Thank you Biolee Team for pampering me with 6 full size Biolee products, thus I get to try out their Biolee acnépris products! Just in time because I had major breakout recently!

No reason why and I have been wondering too because I've never had such major pimple breakout before. All was well until about a month or two back...

There are many reasons you can breakout as an adult. Stress or changes in your hormone levels, like menopause or switching or stopping birth control pills, are two possibilities.

Some medications, including lithium, anti-seizure drugs, and corticosteroids, can cause acne.

Well, I definitely don't take birth control pills and didn't take any drugs recently, in addition it's too early for menopause at my age. (Yea you got that) 

Whatever the reason it may be, there's only one thing I know for sure is that I want to get rid of these pimples!

I think the most basic to help start making these pimples disappear is to make sure I practice good daily skin care. That is where Biolee acnépris products come into use.

(More about Biolee : http://biolee.com.sg/ )

Let start off with the first step of skin care which is to cleanse my face with Biolee acnépris

Purifying Foam Cleanser.

Singapore Retail Price at SGD$35.

Perfect for sensitive skin, this gentle cleanser is hypoallergenic yet effectively able to deeply cleanse away makeup, oil and dirt. The gentle foam glides perfectly onto my skin, softening and cleansing away bacteria to reveal a fresher and cleaner complexion without drying it out.

My skin definitely brightens up to a certain extend and I don't feel oily or greasy anymore. 

In fact, my skin feels so much breathable with all the dirts and oil away. 

Well, some products may cause our skin to dry up after using but not for Biolee acnépris

Purifying Foam Cleanser. I enjoy using it as it also contains pine pollen extracts, producing such nice fragrance while I cleanse my face; making me feel all so relaxing! 

Next, I use Biolee acnépris Esthetical Peeling Gel to exfoliate my face.

Singapore Retail Price at SGD$35

I brighten and refine my skin with this gommage exfoliation gel. It does not contain any scrubbing grains. It clears grimy dead skin cells from enlarged pores while minimizing them and enhances cellular renewal. Gently peel my way to a healthy glow instantly! :)

Massage it in, using a circular motion for a few minutes. Gently work the esthetical peeling gel into the pores of your face. After that rinse with warm water and then pat dry. It is advisable to use twice a week before going to bed and best after cleansing your face with Biolee acnépris

Purifying Foam Cleanser!

After that I either do some masking or proceed to the next daily skin care step of applying Biolee acnépris Control Skin Toner.

 Singapore Retail Price at SGD$42

Using natural pine pollen to control surface oil, this light weight and oil free toner, revitalizes and hydrates my skin, giving it a radiant glow. My face feels super cooling and refreshing after applying it. (P.S: I like placing my face in front of my home air cooler after applying toner to feel extra cooling hehe). It is a necessary second step after cleansing to maintain the right PH balance and prevent irritation for my sensitive acne/oily skin. I use it in the morning and before I go to bed.

(Applying Biolee acnépris Control Skin Toner & Biolee acnépris Dramatic Spot for about a week now)

For my current daily skin care steps, I omitted the application of moisturizer and go on with the application of  Biolee acnépris Dramatic Spot.

Singapore Retail Price at SGD$48.

I really can’t wait to get rid of those pesky red pimple! The highly effective natural pine pollen extract helps to calm red and infected skin. Pine pollen is known to be anti-bacterial and can dramatically improve and cure acne speedily. It is only to be used on infected areas and do prevent application around the eye area. I use it every morning and night before I go to bed.

It doesn't feel oily/heavy on my skin and comes with a nice fragrance as well.

After applying Dramatic Spot, I proceed with my daily application of Biolee acnépris Oil-Free UV Protector with SPF 40/PA++

Singapore Retail Price at SGD$35

Extremely light weight and non-comedogenic, this totally natural and paraben free UV protector effectively shields my skin from the harmful UV rays from the sun. The aloe- vera extract and hyaluronic acid makes this sunscreen not only a necessary shield from the sun but also a great skin care that hydrates.

It is very important for us to put on Sunscreen especially when you are living in such a sunny country, Singapore. 

Here are also 5 reason why putting on UV Protector/Sunscreen is important.

❥ The ozone layer is depleting and your body needs shielding from harmful rays.

❥ Skin cancer rates are on the rise & 

sunscreen has been proven to decrease the development of skin cancer.

❥ It helps to prevent facial brown spots and skin discolorations.

❥ It also helps to reduce the appearance of facial red veins and blotchiness.

❥ It slows down the development of wrinkled, premature aging skin.

I used to worry that applying sunscreen on my face will increase the possibility of clogging my pores because most sunscreens are greasy and oily as long as they are not in gel or water based form.

But Biolee acnépris Oil-Free UV Protector proves me wrong as my face skin pores are still able to breath underneath after applying. (P.S: Don't tell me how I know, you will just feel it and know it!).

As per its name, it's indeed Oil-Free and it kind of helps a little bit in brightening my skin further. 

Now I have been using the Biolee acnépris Range for about 2 weeks/ about 2.5 weeks to be exact.

Here's the huge improvements! I am super happy because it works!!!

As you can see there's a huge reduction in reddish spots and pimples on my face. My face skin also appear smoother and fairer. I definitely look better now! ≥︺‿︺≤ 

Furthermore I went to do some research and found out that Pine Pollen can successfully treat skin conditions of all kinds. It can be made into a cream to apply directly to the skin when battling eczema, acne, impetigo, and diaper rash. The arginine in Pine Pollen also caters to the improvement of skin challenges. Which means, Biolee acnépris products are capable of that because the entire Biolee acnépris Products contains formulated pine pollen extract!

I believe I can say bye bye to those horrible acnes soon if I continue using Biolee acnépris Range!

FIGHTING! 

Thank you once again to the lovely Biolee team for letting me be part of the appointed bloggers for Biolee acnépris Range! They also organized a photo shoot for us! I had fun at the photo shoot and just simply enjoyed the entire photo shoot session with them and the rest of the appointed bloggers! (✿◠‿◠)

[Sponsored Review] GLOMAX Aesthetics Facial Treatment

Really busy!! Here's finally a post which I should have written long ago.

Close to a month ago, I was invited to GLOMAX Aesthetics at Soho2 to try one of their skin treatments. 

I chose to go ahead with the Intensive Acne Medic Treatment which is suitable for problem skin with congested pores and acne. My face is acne prone and thus you will always find pimples saying Hi to you on my face, be it small or big, it's really irritating to see them which I believe people like me who have such skin will agree. 

Before they went on with the facial treatment, they actually took the time to understand the condition of my face and the types of daily products I used.

Beautician Sun was detailed  in explaining my skin condition and the process of the entire facial treatment to me. 

Let's take a look at my naked face closed up before treatment.

Frontal (Ignore my huge face. LOL)

Right Side - As you can see I have some unhealed and small pimples lying around on my face.

Left side : A huge inner pimple and small other ones around.

The treatment start with a sonic cleansing that gently lifts impurities and dirt off skin surface before the problem areas are healed with a mild antiseptic high frequency. Combined with acne IPL to rebalance the sebum level, problem skin will dramatically clear up after each session. 

I was told that I have a lot of harden black/white heads inside my skin and will need to soften them up for easy removal. My beautician even show me those white/black heads, it's damn disgusting!

 Being aware that I have to be on camera regularly, Beautician Sun was careful not to hurt my skin as well as not to leave too much of a redness from all the extraction during the facial treatment.

The whole treatment lasted for about an hour or so which is normal. In addition, hot ginger tea was also served to warm up my body from lying too long on the bed, not moving. Hahaha. 

My face with minimal make up after about a week from treatment! No obvious huge pimples!

Redness went down by then even though I expected it to go down within 3 days. But never mind, effect still as good. :)

I'm really not a fan of extraction, but the sad truth is extraction is necessary :(. Oh well....

I wasn't obligated to blog for them but here it is because I do enjoy my stay at GLOMAX Aesthetic.

Love their services and the people there as they are so encouraging and friendly!

If you want to try it for yourselves, you can quote "Blogger Eva" to enjoy the same treatment (Intensive Acene Medic Treatment) I did at only $88* (UP$150).

Heritage Hair @ TIDES

Hello guys! I hope you guys are having a good week so far~ !

I decided to do a feature for Heritage Hair again because they always give good services not only in terms of hair but they really take good care of their customer well being as well. : D

I feel happy every time I go there! 

Last week I went to get some of my hair strands highlighted and I met Mint too! Even extra happier! 

Check out her blog post about Heritage Hair HERE ! 

* She featured me too hehehehee :P *

Here's a selfie before my hair goes through changes!

And here's a photo I took in the middle of dyeing my hair strands for my Instagram.

At first I wanted pastel pink like Xiaxue's color because it's really going to look good. 

But after some suggestions and advises given by Kenn and Sandra, I decided to go with Purple!

Well, I was told that my hair is less active in absorbing color easily because of it's good condition. :P

Well that is good news right! ^_^

And furthermore to play with colors, we have to forgo good hair condition. In another words, it means that your hair condition might be really bad & dry after that because of all the bleaching and chemical.

So to play safe, I go ahead with purple which is a easier-to-achieve color.~

Hopefully the purple color will fade and become a brighter color hahaha. : P

Well in my opinion the color is not as bright but then it's really safe for me because of filming jobs.

However, until now the purple haven't show any sign of fading :0!

Which means, the color is still going strong! ^_^

After all the bleaching and dyeing, they did treatment for me. The same treatment I did on my first visit at Heritage Hair ; Hair rescue treatment which comes in 3 steps.

Was surprise surprise Sandra and Kenn order Apple pie for me! HAHA!

I like Apple Pie! Oh ya on a second thought, have you guys try the Banana Pie which is new at MacDonald? It's super delicious!  ♥

OK ! Back to the 爱心 Apple Pie they got for me. 

Something meaningful is meant to be cam-whore with before it disappear into my mouth.

So here goes my face with the Apple Pie. (above lol)

Just an extra shot with 爱心 Apple Pie because I think my high forehead with center parting makes me look ultra different in terms of look and feel.  

Tadah! The final look of both Mint and my hair! 

Mint came in with really really messy hair, super messsssyy. But look at her hair now :0! (Like magic) 

I told her that her hair really look much neater and straight now...

My hair also became less messy on a second thought ^_^

Very unique right? Hahaha.

They are unique not only in the way they packed their candies but also uniquely different in their tastes.

Firstly, what is LOLLYTALK and what is the difference between LOLLYTALK and "The pink brand". LOL. You guys should know what I'm talking about right, I believe you guys are clever enough to know.

I am convinced that LOLLYTALK is better than "The Pink Brand" after this tasting session which I had with them last Wednesday. I know this blog post came in a bit late due to my crashed laptop screen. >_<!

Now it's back after repairing.

Anyway yup! I visited Lollytalk and wow a lot of people in the shop, more than I expected. lol. 

I had quite a hard time snapping a picture of this cute little thing outside the shop. 

OK. Not really little...but at least shorter than me ◡‿◡✿. HAHAHA.

LOLLY THAT TALKS.

(Source: https://www.facebook.com/lollytalksg )

The first thing that caught my eyes are these unique looking bottles of candies. On a random thought, well the bottle does look a bit like those chicken essence. HEHE.

And I came to know that it's Lollytalk's long awaited Acquired Taste Collection! Six newly launched flavors to suit fans of LollyTalk with varying taste buds.

When I see beautiful things, and beautiful colors, I can't resist! I have to get my hands on them.

♥♥♥  Menthol Honey Lemon (blue): Cooling sensation & refreshing! Made with real honey and natural lemon extract! Menthol relieves minor throat irritation.

♥♥♥  Menthol Grape (purple): Cooling sensation & refreshing! Menthol relieves minor throat irritation.

♥♥♥  Chilli Lime (red): Taste the way you eat your sambal chilli while squeezing a bit of lime on it! Using natural lime extract as well as chilli padi extract!

♥♥♥  Honey Lemon (beige): Soothes your throat with natural honey and natural lemon extract!

♥♥♥  Spicy Mango (orange): Taste the way you eat mango dipped in dark soya sauce with chilli padi! Made with natural chilli padi extract!

♥♥♥  Plum Guava (green): Taste the way you eat your guava with plum powder! With real bits of plum!

Personally I love the Menthol Honey Lemon, Menthol Grape and Honey Lemon.

I don't really take spicy so, Chilli Lime and Spicy Mango are definitely out for me even though they'd taste good as well. But if you can take spicy stuff, it's a must try!

Josc who was with me at Lollytalk had a hard time choosing over these 6 flavors! Every single one has it's unique taste and we can't decide which is the best.

They are also going to have more interesting flavors coming out so do remember to like & follow their Facebook page for instant updates.

A sneak peek at their upcoming new stuff ...♥

Apple Cranberry and Mango Peaches had this natural taste. I was told that it contains real Mango bits for the Mango Peaches. ლ(╹◡╹ლ)

There will also be refillable pack available soon so you don't have to buy the whole bottle again. Just get their refillable and refill the bottle! Yay so convenient!
ヽ(^o^)ノ
