[Review] CLEAR Shampoo

[Sponsored]

Clear has always been known as the brand that tackles the problem of dandruffs and for those who are a Clear’s fan, behold for their new series of products that includes the technology of scalp care – Nutrium 10. According to Clear, “This new scalp care formula, Nutrium 10, approaches scalp defence in three revolutionary steps:

  • Builds the scalp’s natural defence to fight against dandruff
  • Penetrates three layers deep into the scalp to repair the scalp’s natural barrier 
  • Eliminates and clears dandruff # from the scalp surface
Last but not least, they did not only focus on the scalp problems of the ladies, but also of the gentlemen.
“Nutrium 10 for men helps to remove dead skin cells on the scalp’s surface; restores scalp nourishment; and boosts scalp’s natural defence against dandruff and itch. It has:
  • 2 times faster acting results against dandruff with 50% more anti-­‐dandruff actives vs. previous CLEAR
  • 3 times scalp strengtheners vs. CLEAR women
  • Significantly more protection from dandruff than the global leading anti-­dandruff shampoo”


Clear Women Ice Cool Menthol 
- $9.40 for 350ml, $14.30 for 700ml

My verdict:
I was not quite used to the strong cooling effect on the scalp, the shampoo is definitely too strong for me. Maybe it would be more suitable for those who likes a cool and minty feel on their scalp. I don’t really have much dandruffs problem so I guess a mild shampoo would be better for me. For those who have that trouble, do let me know whether it works for you? Or whether if this works on oily scalps too!

Clear Women Anti Hair-Fall 
- $9.40 for 350ml, $14.30 for 700ml

My verdict:
Same as the Ice Cool Menthol, the effect is strong but less chilling. It does feel cleaner after using this shampoo. My hair basically stays in shape after using, as compared to my other brand of shampoo. It’s basically like a milder version than the former. You can still feel the strong tightening effect on your scalp though.

Clear Men Cool Sport Menthol 
- $10.30 for 350ml, $15.70 for 700ml

His verdict:
Too strong for the cooling mint effect on scalp. Good for the hair when it’s extremely dirty and oily, especially after a vigorous exercise.

Clear Men Anti Hair-Fall 
- $10.30 for 350ml, $15.70 for 700ml



His verdict:
It feels clean but the same as all the other products, too strong for the scalp.

[Review] Hada Labo Hydrating Cleansing Oil

[Sponsored]

If you happened to be waiting for my reviews on beauty products then “woohoo! Here’s another cool product to share with you”! Haha.

I am usually not very into doing makeup because of the hassle of cleaning the paint on my face thoroughly so when I first received this product, I was like “Uh, okay… This better be good.”

This Hada Labo Cleansing Oil is quite pleasant to use, to be honest. Besides the fact that the oiliness might make you feel “uck” at first (which can be easily washed away with soap and water), the effectiveness of cleansing away the cosmetic is pretty awesome.

I did a small experiment on my hand to try out and as the skin on my hand is obviously thicker and rougher than the face, I applied more than 5 layers of concealer on it. With half a pump of the cleansing oil and one cotton wool, the powder was easily removed. I noticed that half a pump is pretty heavy to clean just a small area of makeup, so if you usually wear light makeup, a half pump could actually clean up your whole face or one full pump of the water-based version of Hada Labo Makeup Remover (if you hate greasiness and don’t usually wear heavy makeup). Pretty amazing.

The Hada Labo Hydrating Cleansing Oil is priced at $20.90 and will be available exclusively at Watsons nationwide from 1 November 2011 onwards.

The Hada Labo SHA Hydrating Makeup Remover is priced at $17.90 and available at Watsons, Guardian, Fairprice and other major departmental stores.

Bioré Marshmallow Whip Facial Wash

[Sponsored]

Thank you TheSampleStore.sg and Bioré for sponsoring this super cute and girlish new product — Marshmallow Whip Facial Wash with ultra fine fluffy foam that is collagen enriched. One small bottle of this contains 150pumps and each time you will only need to use at most one full pump that will makes your skin cleansed and smooth.

Biore Marshmallow Whip Facial Wash retailing at $13.90. Available at major supermarket and medical stores.

“Want to have baby smooth skin like the Japanese girls?”

 

The secret behind Japanese girls’ bouncy and porcelain skin? Just like any other girls: 1) Cleanse, 2) Toner and 3) Moisturizer. These 3 basic steps determines how good your skin would be. But why the fuss about the foam?

It is the secret behind effective and gentle cleansing as it cleans better with finer bubbles and it can cushion the cleansing stress from your hand on your face. Sounds amazing? Yes it is, and foam works better in any kind of soap (eg. shampoo/body wash).

Bioré introduces this Marshmallow Whip Facial Wash for this purpose. Look at how fine and fluffy the foam (image below) is!

 

Amazing right? I personally love the fluffiness of the foam and it cleanses pretty well too. It is a product that almost every girl can use. The mild scent of soap, the fluffy soft texture, the ultra fine foam. Overall, it was an enjoyable product to review even though I would still prefer my previous brand of cleanser that I am using. Anyway! What I am trying to say is that, it is quite good for basic cleansing.

Remember to use a good toner and moisturizer after use! It makes your skin feels more smooth. :)

There’s a super cute game on www.marshmallow.com.sg that you can play and know more about the product at the same time! Do check it out (click on image for more info)!

Lipice Sheer Color Beautiful Lips

[Sponsored]

Join the Lipice Most beautiful lips contest and the top 3 will win away a MP4 worth $259!!!

For those who know me personally, I usually don’t put on any makeup. Not even lip balm, even though I need it for my dried and cracked lips. So when I first started to use Lip Ice’s Sheer Color lip moisturizers (comes in Shimmer; Strawberry and Fragrance-free), I was frankly surprised by its bright color on my lips.

 This sweet looking bright pink lip “moisturizer”… Does it really moisturize my lips?

It might act better as a lipstick instead of a moisturizer since my lips were still cracked after I applied it and it turns out that the chunks of pink became even more obvious on my chapped lips.

Image above was taken long before I shaved my hair. Don’t be alarmed. :D

I don’t know whether it is a good or bad thing, but I look like I had makeup on when I only put the lip moisturizer on. It kinda makes me looks radiant and healthy.

Well, that’s what the pink is for! To let you have a healthy lip color that everyone envious. :D

My verdict: I would love to get this for makeup purposes instead of moisturizing effects.

Vote for me at Lipice Most beautiful lips contest! The top 3 will win away a MP4 worth $259!!!

With Sunplay now u can fall in love with the sun! <3

[Sponsored review]

The new SUNPLAY sunblock! Best for the hot and sweltering weather in Singapore right here right now. Hohoho! UV rays, you are not going to ruin my skin, I tell you! With SUNPLAY sunblock, it’s a piece of cake to win the battle against you. :P

There’s 2 types of samples that I received from TheSampleStore. One for face and body (picture below) called SUNPLAY SUPER BLOCK SPF130PA+++ (It’s also ranked as #1 Sunscreen in Watsons).

You must be thinking what’s SPF130PA+++ and what does it do.

“There are two categories of UV light – UVA and UVB — that we consider in terms of sunscreen. UVB causes sunburn, and UVA has more long-term damaging effects on the skin, like premature aging. SPF, or sun protection factor, numbers were introduced in 1962 to measure a sunscreen’s effect against UVB rays.”

So basically the higher the number of SPF is, the more effective and efficient to block the UVB rays.

While PA+++ is used against UVA rays (the more + it has, the more efficient it is).

Can you imagine SPF is as high as 130 and 3 +s for PA?!

I tried it on my hands and the liquid was fairly thin (i.e. not creamy) and not much of stickiness so it is really refreshing. This sunscreen lotion can be used alone or with moisturizer and water resistent.

As much as I love the good effects of SUNPLAY SUPER BLOCK SPF130PA+++, I still prefer Sunplay UV BODY MIST 

SPF80 PA++ despite the lower SPF and PA protection level. Why?

I don’t like to wipe lotion on my body (mainly because I feel lazy to spread it evenly on me) so the Body Mist Spray is the best thing for me! Just spray, don’t think! Hahaha.

But but but, this is only for BODY only. Don’t start spraying on your face ok! Very dangerous!!!! >.<

Anyway, both lotion and spray has this light scent when I applied them. Isn’t it good that you still can smell good even when you are applying sunscreen? What’s better! Non-greasy and water & sweat prooft! Best for girls like me who sweat a lot.

Love <3!!!
