I signed up for a session of Astalift Customised Facial during the Astalift Event, so I redeemed it excitedly today - the day before I was set to fly off to Hong Kong. It was a 70 minutes facial, using Astalift products, of course. I had the choice of Wisma Atria outlet or Nex outlet, and picked Wisma.

The outlet was small - at the front of the house was Astalift storefront. If I hadn't ventured to the back, I probably wouldn't even know there was a neat treatment room hidden there. My consultant, who also turned out to be the therapist - did a brief health + lifestyle survey for me and had me fill out the necessary forms.

Then I changed into a sweet pink robe at the treatment room area. My therapist executed the cleansing and makeup removal gently. Not sure if its due to hygiene reason or something else, but I realise that alot of applications were done using cotton pads instead of fingers directly.

She used the Astalift Renewal skincare range for my facial treatment. There were some lotions before a hydrating Mask was spread over my face.

Instead of merely leaving it to work its magic like how the other facial spas do, my therapist powered up a machine to go over my masked face, and she explained that this would help lock the moisture in.

After that,  a series of facial massage -  a detailed range of movements targeting multiple areas of the face, neck and shoulder. I liked the massage very much as it felt really rejuvenating.

The concluding skincare regime began with the Astalift Jelly Aquarysta (review here) being dabbed expertly onto my face. Then toner, essence, eye cream and moisturiser followed.

After applying sunblock and a scalp massage, the facial session was finished. The end result was a glowing complexion that felt very refreshed and moisturised.

I enjoyed the facial massage and Astalift products very much. I also appreciated that the therapist was speaking English at all times- professionally and easily understandable! Thank you Astalift Singapore for the wonderful experience - probably the best facial before I turn a year older.

Astalift x Sample Store - Regain Your Youth Beauty Workshop

Event: Astalift x Sample Store "Regain Your Youth" Beauty Workshop

Date: 8 February 2018

Time: 7.00pm - 8.00pm

Venue: Wisma Atria Level 1 Atrium

Website: https://www.timeliss.com

Having tried and quite liked Astalift's Aqua Jelly using special film technology (review here), I was honoured to be invited for the Astalift Beauty Workshop this evening.

Just a brief introduction to Astalift - it is a beauty brand owned by Japan's company Fujifilm. In Japan they have a medical arm working on using technology to improve and restore beautiful skin, so you can imagine their products are made with cutting edge technology and quality ingredients.

So the workshop started with some food for us, followed by an educational talk by Astalift's beauty trainer Jason.

Demonstrations were done on several products, specially Aqualift Jelly, and the new nano product named "In-Focus".

We also got to try a Mocktail drink made with their delicious Pure Collagen drink.

Following that, the prize-catching moment where we had to grab 3 ribbons of the same color, within 30 seconds. The prize would be 3 travel-size Astalift Jelly. Needless to say, I got it.

Finally, redemption of the Goody-bag comprising Astalift Hand Cream,  a long white unbrella and some more skincare samples.

Thank you Astalift for the fabulous and enriching event; as well as Sample Store for the invite!

Review on Mary Kay's Soothing Indulge Eye Gel [Sponsored]

Recently I noticed that my eye bags were getting very obvious, and the irony is that I have begun sleeping an hour earlier every night. I used to sleep at 2.00am every night, but the eye bags had not shown. Recently, I am in bed by 1.00am, but the eye bags are deeper, and that concerns me immensely.

I asked around, and was introduced to Mary Kay's Indulge Soothing Eye Gel by a friend. It contains botanical extract (namely green tea extract, cucumber extract and dog rose fruit extract) which are supposed to tone, firm and reduce puffiness around the sensitive eye area.

The gel comes in an elegant glass tub so that its beautiful aqua color could be seen easily, giving off soothing vibes just like its properties do. The gel itself is lightweight and cool to the touch; one applies it to the under-brow and under-eye areas gently. The eyes may feel a slight stinging sensation, but it is passing and hardly detectable. Coolness settles in thereafter, hydrating the eyes and the eyes appear brighter.

Besides hydrating and firming up the eye area, the soothing eye gel also refreshes fatigue appearance, increase skin moisturization, is suitable for sensitive skin, dermatologically-tested for allergants, and is fragrance-free.

After using Mary Kay's eye cream, the appearance of eye bags are significantly reduced, even when I smile

Plus, the price of this wonderful eye gel is incredible as well. For more information or samples, please feel free to contact Joanna via her Facebook page here.

I also cannot wait to break into my other Mary Kay beauty products, including the beautiful Ultimate Cream.

Thank you Joanna and Mary Kay for the skin-beneficial products.

Review on Lancome's Genifique Yeux Eye Cream

This is my review on Lancome's Genifique Yeux Eye Cream, also known as the "Youth Activating Eye Cream".  An elegant cream with gel-like texture enriched with Genifique patented technology, this amazing eye cream helps protect the delicate eye area against the visible signs of ageing and fatigue.

The key ingredients are water, cyclohexasiloxane, bifida ferment lysate, glycerin, propenadiol and alcohol denat etc, a full list of powerful ingredients set to bring about younger, brighter eyes with softer contours within 7 days of use (do note that results differ with each individual though).

For 15g, the price is around SGD$98.00 per tub. The packaging is in stunning black, with the signature Lancome rose painted in silver on the top of the lid.  There is visible smell to this product.

The eye cream itself is smooth and velvety to the touch, very easy to apply. The correct way of application is to massage the cream gently onto the upper and lower eye contour areas with 2 finger tips. For extra measure, you can also tap lightly to let it "sink in". Use this once in the morning and once at night.

This is a "before" photo of me. The Eyebags were more prominent here due to late nights and early morning. I have tried several types of eye cream, eye gel and eye serum before, but to no avail.

Here is an "after" photo, where the Eyebags have been reduced over prolonged usage of Lancome's Genifique Yeux Youth Activating Eye Cream. The eye areas feel smoother, softer, and the flaws have reduced rather significantly. As you can see, makeup is minimal here.

Verdict is that this cream works like a wonder, just like its Youth Activating counterpart in the same series (review here). The price is a little steep at SGD$98.00 for a small tub, but it lasts around 1 to 3 months, so it is reasonable if you divide the sum out. I am in love and in awe with yet another of Lancome's wonderful products.
