Review: My June Glamabox (GO Green)

beauty box review 7/06/2015

Its the month of July already, so I'm a little late on my June Glamabox.
Nevertheless, let me show you what is in my box!

This month's theme was go green, so there are no other box, all the products are filled in this cupboard box.

Yes, these are all the items in my box, which comprises of:
- Royal Skin
- The Yeon
- est.lab
- Faith in Face
- LaMav
- La Roche Posay
- PBA
- Facial Mud

Other than the Royal skin patches, all other samples were sample sized items or sachets.

3 products from Royal Skin (45° V-Line Patch, Perfect Body Hip-Up Patch, Hot Body Fit Slim Patch)

The Perfect Body Hip-Up Patch maintains the resilient and balanced body shape. It can help to reduce cellulite temporarily.

The Perfect V-Line Patch can tighten your chin line, moisturizing it and improves your wrinkles.

The Hot Body Fit Slim Patch can tighten up, moisturize and nourish your hip skin. It has an anti-wrinkle function that makes rough skin texture smooth and tightens droopy skin around your hips and making them shapely.

Thoughts: Its interesting to see Royal Skin with so many different type of mask, targeting at all the different areas, from your face, to hip and body.

The Shea butter rich and moisture essence mask cares for your skin making it moist and healthy with its rich Shea butter.

The egg white whip cleanses into your pores allowing you to feel the moist from deep inside your skin. Its soft and fluffy marshmallow like foam helps to remove impurities on the skin, it improves the skin pores and reduce blackhead and sebum.

Thoughts: This pore cleansing solution reminds me of the Slowganic Lemon cleanser which I had reviewed previously, also in Glamabox.

The Sun shield is infused with Vitamin C and E to provide moisturizing and anti-aging benefits. The SPF 50 is a tinted sunscreen that can be used as a moisturizing tinted make-up base to conceal blemishes and provide a sheer coverage.

Thoughts: You can see the pinkish shade after blending the sunscreen. It is quite interesting for me as I've never tried a tinted sunscreen before.

The fragrance of dating and love, romantic and sensual, elixir of good mood! The perfume aims at all those who enjoy infatuation, love, unity, and fulfillment.

Thoughts: Fragrance always excites me, though its a small vial, its good to carry around and they even bother to use the spritz kind of bottle. It has very gentle floral notes but I love its fragrance. It does makes me feel like falling in love with its romantic scent.

La Roche-Posay UVidea Aqua Fresh Gel provides superior daily sun protection in a fresh water-break concentrated gel texture. Free of fragrance and paraben.

LaMav Anti-aging minerals concealer, foundation and powder all in one that provides a flawless finish giving your skin a natural and radiant look without clogging pores or causing irritation.

Thoughts: Quite shocked looking at the way this product is being packaged and no courage to try this out. Look at the powder stucked to the zip lock area, packaging and they look "murky".

Bonus item, the mud mask for face.

Overall, I was kind of disappointing in this month's box because it does not deliver. Too many sample sized sachet, and nothing to shout about. The mineral powder was packaged in a zip-lock bag, which does not even enticed me to use them.

Lets hope for a better box for the month of July. Grab your box today!

Cheers!

Crème Simon - Nature Inspired, Climate Perfected, Make a beautiful discovery

beauty 4/20/2015

Like many beauty fans, I have finally begun my beauty journey of flower and plants with Crème Simon some weeks ago.

Since 1860 in Paris, Crème Simon has been inspiring women to enjoy natural beauty rituals. Adored by generations of women, Creme Simon was the celebrated unrivalled #1 French brand, passed down from mothers to daughters as their secret to beautiful skin.

Created by Joseph Simon to bring back youthfulness to the hands of hardworking Parisian women, it infuses the potent healing properties of seven different flowers and plants. The serendipitous discovery of its brightening effect on women’s face marked the first natural brightening cream from France.

Here's 5 good reasons on why you should check out Crème Simon:

Check out the carefully curated box of items that Crème Simon had for me.
Item are from the Brightening Detox range and they include:

#1: Crème Universelle
#2: Daily Defense UV Protector SPF 50
#3: Micellar Water Makeup Remover for Eyes and Face
#4: Dermo-Hydrating Toner Mist
#5:Restorative Light Night Moisturiser

#1 Crème Universelle $68, 30ml

This oil-free, light-weight moisturizer for dry skin is here to heal your chapped lips,acute dryness and skin irritations. You can apply them to your lips, cuticles, hands, elbows, knee caps, anywhere from your hands to your feets. However, for only 30ml this precious should be put to better use under emergency times and kept in your hand bag or brought along when travelling.

I loved its super light weighted texture, gentle foral scent and the fact that it is oil-free. It comes in a convenient squeeze tub that can easily dispense the creme and be applied to all my dry spots. Because of it universal properties, I can now carry this one tube instead of so many different moisturizers for all my different needs. Works well for me and deserves a thumbs up. Though a little skeptical to apply on my lips at first, but glad I did later experienced the well moisturized effect.

#2: Daily Defense UV Protector SPF 50 $68,

Optimized with UVA/UVB protection system, this light-weight and oil-free sunscreen is here to save your day. I shall not be naggy to remind you of how important this baby is. Rejoice as it comes with SPF 50, a relatively good sun protector factor that will keep you away from the sun for a good while. The Daily Defense UV Protector is enriched with Zinc Oxide, for protection against pre-mature aging and sun spots.

No typical sunblock smell, light and and layers nicely when used as a make-up base. No sticky, oily feel even when i jumped into the pool and my faced was dunked into the water. No white sheen even when applied on its own for short outdoor trips.

See how nicely it blends on Asian skin tone, unlike typical sunscreens that leaves your face either with an oily sheen or leaves you as white as a sheet.

#3: Micellar Water Makeup Remover for Eyes and Face $55, 150ml

Get rid of all your unwanted make-up with the pure and refreshing Micellar Water Makeup Remover, without having to rinse your face afterwards. Great as a time-saver for those who come back after a partying on late nights and can't wait to get to bed. But I reckon you still have to wash your face before you go to bed!

Comes in a drip drop bottle. Would love it much more if they can be dispensed in a spray bottle to spray and wipe over face. Nevertheless, no issues on dispensing, no spillage and easy to use.

I used them to remove my usual make-up comprising of water-proof eyeliner, foundation, concealer and lip stick. After 3 good swipes, everything is gone.

My skin feels refreshed, cleaned and tonned after removal of make-up even before i applied my toner. I can even omit my toner if I am feeling "that lazy". I felt rather comfortable although I didn't have to rinse my face.

#4: Dermo-Hydrating Toner Mist $55, 150ml

Freshen up with this spray mist Demo-Hydrating Toner, for a light and refreshing feel. Alcohol-Free and contains 100% natural active plant extracts the floral scented toner gives your skin enahnced luminosity and clarity.

Crème Simon is at it again with a product of multiple uses. Use this as:

1. A hydrating toner, that cleanses your skin and removing your make-up leftovers boosting your next skincare efficiancies.
2. An all day hydrating facial mist and a quick skin care touch up for a dewy, hydrate skin.
3. Make-up setting spray for your make-up to stay longer.
4. Spritz on hair to tame your mane.

This must be my favourite facial toner and mist now. Love the convenience of the spray bottle which makes it so easy to use as a mid-day perk me up with the gentle floral fragrance. It keeps my face oil free for the day especially in this hot summer climate.
Very refreshing and my favourite has to be that this product is alcohol-free.

The facial mist gets absorbed quickly by my thristy skin in an instance, you can see them fading away here.

#5:Restorative Light Night Moisturiser $98, 50ml

A unique gel-cream based night moisturiser that works through the night while you are at sleep. Get a well-rested and rejuvenated skin when you wake up to a refine and well nourished skin.

Super love the texture of this night moisturizer. Soft and velvety, with light floral scent.

Doesen't feels oily and sticky but leaves your skin smooth and powdery soft after feel. Skin feels more moisturized, fairer and brighter after weeks of continued usage.
