Sometimes keeping up with a complex skincare routine can be a hassle. From cleansing to toning to moisturising, it is hard to keep up with what you’re supposed to do. A micellar water cuts out some of those steps, acting as a make-up remover, cleanser and toner in one swipe! Micellar waters are a non-rinsing formula, so all you need to do is apply to the face with a cotton pad and you are good. This is perfect for those days when you are busy or tired.

Collagen is the word on everybody's lips and we have a whole list of collagen related products available, but the big question mark here is whether or not they actually work. Do these products really boost your collagen, leaving you with smooth and supple skin and minimising the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in the long run? Apart from adhering to your daily skincare regimen religiously, what you feed yourself with affects your overall looks! The better stuff you put in your body - water, healthy food, the best selection of health supplements, will directly reflect how you look on the outside.

Awarded with Monde Selection Grand Gold Quality Award (products that are outstanding in terms of the different evaluation criteria), experience collagen at its finest with BRAND’S® InnerShine® latest breakthrough innovation - RubySignature™ formula.

Unlike normal collagen, RubySignature™ formula is created with a unique and precious blend of ingredients derived from natural sources. It contains micro-collagen which replenishes collagen to retain skin suppleness and one of Mother Nature’s most powerful anti-oxidant, Astaxanthin (micro-algae extract) to keep skin firm. Scientifically proven, its anti-oxidant power is 6000 times more powerful than Vitamin C, 800 times more powerful than CoQ10 and 500 times more powerful than Vitamin E.
Collagen is necessary to support the skin’s structural foundation to improve firmness and elasticity for youthful and supple skin. Astaxanthin serves as the perfect complement by acting as a natural shield against the collagen-depleting procedure. In containing both micro-collagen and astaxanthin, RubySignature™ formula defies the ageing process by performing a vital triple-action of supplying collagen, protecting against collagen degradation and delivering collagen actively to skin cells. Designed to complement your topical skincare routine, in 6 weeks experience skin rejuvenating power with BRAND’S® InnerShine® RubyCollagen Essence*.

*Results may vary according to individuals. Yamashita, E. (2006) The effects of a dietary supplement containing Astaxanthin on skin condition. Carotenoid Science 10:91-95. Base on regular consumption of 2 bottles daily.

You are advised to take 1 to 2 bottles BRAND’S® InnerShine® RubyCollagen Essence daily, best taken chilled and the product should be consumed straight after opening.


I am not sure if there is a drastic improvement to my skin, or whether I wanted to believe there was an improvement to my skin because the understanding that I was consuming something ‘extra’ that was ‘beneficial’ into my body certainly made me feel good and my skin does feel a little different to the touch, its smoother than before. Personally, I felt that 12 bottles weren't sufficient to witness a dramatic results, 1 to 2 months continuous consumption would be great.


BRAND’S® InnerShine® RubyCollagen Essence is only exclusively available online at BRAND’S® E-store: store.brandsworld.com.sg. If you are not a fan of liquid collagen products, BRAND’S® InnerShine® RubyCollagen Essence also comes in the form of strips (jelly).

Neutrogena has come a very long way from where they started. From skincare to body care products, Neutrogena is undoubtedly everyone's drugstore fave.

But unfortunately, I'm not blessed with small face. My face resembles a fishball, round and fat especially the jawline area. I WANT A V-FACE!


ClearSK® signature V-Face Shaper is the first of its kind to be introduced in Singapore – it is safe, quick, pain-free, and needleless! Achieving the desired celebrity’s V look without undergoing plastic surgery is now possible. This treatment is only targeted on areas like sagging cheeks, double chin/jaws, crowfeet near the eyes.   No Surgery, No Needle, No Downtime, sounds awesome isn't it!


I had my treatment at Novena outlet.
  Unlike most beauty parlors that have a dim, 'romantic' interior, the interior of ClearSK® is bright, clean and sleek, looking really professional.
 
The array of products and services they have.


Snacks available for those who are hungry while waiting. Then Cheryl began to explain to me how does the treatment works and what will be done on me.

First, Cheryl cleanse my face thoroughly to prep my face and being thoughtful for avoiding my eye makeup and covering them with cotton pads. Then she applied some oil on my face before using the machine on my face. The way this treatment works is that they combines Ultrasound waves and unipolar RF to break down cells and get rid the fatty waste from the body. During the treatment, Accent Ultramode and ultrasound waves are used as to shed off the fat layers and break up the fat cells with no damage in the tissue types. This is a needle-free alternative to botox face slimming where there is no adverse event but only maximum efficacy.
  This is the machine used. Cheryl actually used the wand to go over my jawline for 15 minutes? It was like a huge metal ball bearing that rolls around your jawline. My face felt slightly warm as there was heat emitted from the machine and there is this weird 'sound' that Cheryl has warned me beforehand but it wasn't uncomfortable at all.

Feeling really good after the treatment. The service provided by was really professional. Upon every step taken, Cheryl will let me know on what's going on and what she will be doing. The entire treatment took around 30 minutes. Once done, I was free to resume my daily activities without any discomfort experienced.

Here's the result after my first treatment!

I don't see any drastic difference. After second treatment.
I think my jawline is more V now? After the first treatment, I experience a little breakout on my jawline, really tiny acne started to surface. For the second session, it wasn't that pleasant. Upon arriving, I had to wait for about 15 minutes? Another medi-aesthetics expert attended to me, she wasn't as thoughtful and gentle as Cheryl. My jawline actually hurts when she was contouring my face with the machine. And she didn't let me know what she's doing etc. But she gave me some tips on how to clear the acne on my forehead and explaining to me why I experienced a breakout. Reason being, when the oil that was applied on my face penetrated into my skin when the machine was used, therefore, it may be too heavy for my skin. But she assured me that this is common. I'm left with 2 more treatments and I really hope to see more drastic difference after the remaining sessions. Need to nurse my breakout first!

Today’s post is about affordable drugstore cosmetics that are not more than $15 which I find it of good quality and value for money. I’m always on the lookout for inexpensive cosmetics cause I strongly believed that products that are priced higher doesn’t mean that it will work better. With just a fraction of that amount, I can find a good product! I’ve been using the following products for some time and I’m really satisfied with these buys.
