BEAUTIES FACTORY - EXCLUSIVE 12 PIECES TRAVEL EASY BRUSH SET

I was invited to visit Beauties Factory yesterday, and I’m so pleased and honoured to do a collaboration with them! Many may not know this brand in Asia, so let me elaborate more…

This brand (Beauties Factory) is originated in Hong Kong, and have been established to US, UK & Europe. They hold one of the UK’s most extensive range of makeup products - all of which will leave you feeling freshly pampered and pretty damn gorgeous. And recently, they have been brought in to Singapore!! 

Beauties Factory (Singapore) holds a huge range of products, makeups & nail products at a very affordable price. As you all know, buying makeup online is actually very risky. Because you wouldn’t know if it’s the correct shade, or if the shade is too light/dark. So I would strongly recommend you to personally go down to their showroom so you would be able to try before you buy. 

Beauties Factory have sponsored me with few of their products, but as for today’s post, I will only be reviewing their 12 pieces of High Quality Travel Easy Series Makeup Brush Set with Baby Pink design holder bag. This Baby Pink design is exclusive only in their showroom itself. And this high quality brushes are made by Goat Hair and artificial fiber.

Makeup Brushes have probably been one of the most brought beauty products worldwide. For everything that needs to be done makeup wise, we all will need some sort of brush as an applicator. I get really excited if I find great quality makeup brushes because this means that my face is gonna look flawless after applying my makeup. I’ve started using Beauties Factory Makeup Brushes and only one word can describe them…. INCREDIBLE!

The brushes comes as a 12 pieces set which includes:

♥ Powder Brush

♥ Angle Powder Brush

♥ Foundation Brush

♥ Duo Fibre Brush

♥ Shadow Brush #1

♥ Shadow Brush #2

♥ Shadow Brush #3

♥ Tapered Blending Shadow Brush

♥ Angle Shadow Brush

♥ Small Tapered Blending Shadow Brush

♥ Eyeliner / Lip Brush

♥ Angle Definer Brush #1

The brushes comes with a Baby Pink design holder bag to help me keep them all in one place and this is also fantastic for when I’m travelling.

The larger brushes are thick and super soft which feels great on my skin and the smaller brushes are not like those easily damaged type. As a collective material of the bristles are spot on! The smaller brushes is amazing for blending out concealer, shaping eyebrows, detailed eyeshadow application or even for lining as the set includes all brushes you need for your makeup application! The best thing about these brushes is that the quality is there and the performance is definitely there too. These brushes are beyond worth the money, and definitely the quality doesn’t lie!

[Advertorial/Sponsored] Review - Essential CC Oil and Night Care Milk

Do you have days you get SO DEPRESSED due to your hair problems?
When it comes to hair, fizzy hair is my arch nemesis.

I can totally understand what you're going through.
On some bad hair days, I get so depressed that I feel like shaving off all of my hairs. 
IT'S SOOO FRIGGING FRUSTRATING! LOL.

I'm always searching for something that will help on those bad hair days...
And I'm so happy that I've finally found 2 solutions!

Essential CC Oil & Essential Night Care Milk

This 2 awesome products that will help us reduce our stress caused by those horrible hair problems.





Let me introduce you to 5 of my worst enemies...

THE 5 EVIL HAIR STRESS BROTHERS

1. Badass Breakage: Besides daily heat styling, blow-drying and brushing, other seemingly harmless actions lie tying your hair into a ponytail or twirling your hair with your fingers exert excessive stress on to your hair, resulting in hair breakage.

2. Cruel Combing: IMPOSSIBLE TO AVOID! Combing through wet hair causes great hair damage as the hair follicle is at the most fragile state. Likewise, the friction caused by coming through dry hair can from tangles which makes hair prone to unnecessary breakage.

3. Spiteful Split Ends: The ends of your hair are the oldest and driest part. When the protective hair cuticle is destroyed at the end of the hair, the hair will than split into 2 or more parts.

4. Despicable Drying: Exposure to the sun, wind or even air-conditioning can result in hair dryness. The hair cuticles that protects the hair is weakened and is unable to retain moisture within the cuticles of the hair.

5. Brazen Blow-Drying: Blow-drying may look like it does not cause much damage to our hair, but we're so wrong! The process of blow-drying removes hair moisture, both inside out - leaving hair dry, brittle & susceptible for further damage.

SO LET ME INTRODUCE YOU TO...

ESSENTIAL CC OIL (60ML)

CC = Cuticle Care

Non-greasy and invisibly light, Essential CC Oil coats our hair with a cuticle coat protection to help fight the 5 evil brothers of hair stresses. 

I've personally been a great fan of essential's hair products for a very long time. Simply love their products so mooch ~

I've tried the Essential CC Oil and I LOVE how there's completely NO GREASINESS on my hair after usage and it keeps my hair soft, smooth, manageable and tangle-free!

You can use on towel-dried or damp hair. Just simply pump an appropriate amount onto palm, spread and apply evenly onto hair, concentrating on mid-length to the tip of your hair and you do not have to rinse off.

Of course, Essential has something to pamper our hair even throughout the night!

ESSENTIAL NIGHT CARE MILK

Essential Night Care Milk intensively repairs and moisturises our hair throughout the night! With it Cuticle Care Protection ingredients, it helps to protect out hair from pillow friction. 

What is pillow friction?

When we are asleep, we tend to toss and turn through the night, there's friction between our hair and the pillow. This caused our hair cuticles to misalign.

Misaligned cuticles creates FRIZZINESS, thus, we wake up to our hair all tangled-up the next morning. 

With Essential Night Care Milk, it reduces Pillow Friction, and waking up to a beautiful soft & tidy hair ~

I've tried both products and i'm SUPER IMPRESSED as always.

It works as it claims leaving no disappointment!

[Advertorial/Sponsored] Review - BIORÉ UV AQUA RICH WATERY GEL SPF50+ PA++++

BIORÉ UV AQUA RICH WATERY GEL SPF50+ PA++++ 

Do you know that protecting our skin from UV damage is so important? Yet, only 30% of every women between the age 12 - 49 years old use a sunscreen daily. Are you one of them???

IT IS NOT GOOD TO STEP OUT OF YOUR HOUSE WITHOUT A SUNSCREEN!

Prolonged exposure to the sun's UV rays without proper protection can cause permanent effects such as premature skin ageing, wrinkles & freckles, as well as, various skin damages like discolouration, sallowness, dryness. In extreme cases, they can also lead to skin cancer.

Sun exposure causes skin changes that we think of as a normal part of aging. Over the time, the sun's UV light damages the fires in the skin called elastin. When the fibres break down, the skin begins to sag, stretch, and lose its ability to go back into place after stretching. 

The most damaging UV rays can be classified into different wavelengths, known as UVA and IVB. UVA rays penetrate into the deeper layers of our skin as compared to UVB rays, and are also the dominant tanning ray. The penetrative ability of UVA rays through glass means that even when you're seeking shelter indoors, your skin continues to be exposed to its harmful effects which can cause cumulative damage such as wrinkling and skin ageing.

On the other hand, UVB rays cause the most damage to the outer layer of skin such as reddening of skin and sunburns. Without proper protection, prolonged exposure to UVB rays can cause long-term damage to skin's epidermal layers. 

The top reason why women prefer not to apply a sunscreen is the sticky, greasy feeling on the skin that most sunscreen tend to leave behind.

This is where the light, watery texture of Bioré’s Aqua Rich Watery Gel stands out! Similar to the Aqua Rich Watery Essence, it is formulated with Bioré’s unique Aqua Rich technology to give it a light and watery texture when applied onto skin.

The Aqua Rich Watery Gel contains the breakthrough Aqua Micro Capsule a water capsule which breaks upon application on skin to release the UV protection agent while giving skin a cool and refreshed feeling.

Unlike most sunscreens that have a higher SPF value which tends to compromise on the product texture, Bioré’s Aqua Rich Watery series retains its lightweight feel and at the same time provide maximum UV protection.

The Aqua Rich Watery Gel is also infused with hyaluronic acid and citrus extract to keep skin hydrated and healthy. 

WHY BIORE UV AQUA RICH WATERY GEL ?

When I've tried Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Gel, I was quite impressed by the watery texture, it also leaves my skin soft and smooth. I like that it has this matte finish, no greasiness or oily shine that most sunscreens leave. It's super light yet powerful enough to protect your skin against the harmful UV rays.

Majority people often assume that the higher the SPF the better it is for protection against UV rays.

It's all untrue. 

A sunscreen with the rating of SPF50 is sufficient coverage, as it blocks up to 98% of UVB rays from penetrating into skin. Any SPF rating higher than this compromises on the texture of the sunscreen, making it heavier, stickier and greasier when applied on skin. So this is the optimal concoction of perfection. PA++++ blocks UVA rays that cause premature raging and skin wrinkling. Currently, a 4+ rating is the industry highest level of protection.

And Biore UV watery Gel provides the highest protection for your skin with their unique breakthrough formula that will leave your skin feeling cool and refreshed.

The Aqua Rich Watery Gel is also infused with hyaluronic acid and citrus extract to keep skin hydrated and healthy. 

Those with super sensitive skin, don't worry it's a gentle formula and it's allergy tested!

The bottle is 90ml, the bottle is a hard plastic with a twist style cap and a dispensing nozzle.

The consistency is a little more watery and easier to apply.

The smell is delightful, sweet, light and unobtrusive, and has a hint of citrus scent. 

It's so light that it makes a perfect makeup base so you don't have to go for high SPF foundation that is oily, sticky and super thick!

It is also water and sweat resistance if you are going for any outdoor activities, REMEMBER to apply!

Final thoughts: 

Overall, it's a very excellent sunscreen. It offer excellent UVA & UVB protection without any sort of white cast or shininess. It applies easier and absorbs faster and more fully!

I would strongly recommend this sunscreen, because i personally dislike those that leaves my skin sticky and greasy after application! Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Gel did a miracle, it absorb faster than i thought and the finishing is PERFECT! 

Available at all leading pharmacies, super & hyper markets, departmental stores, beauty stores and selected minimarts. 

Retailing at SGD$18.90

The full range of Bioré’s UV Series enhanced with the PA++++ rating (previously PA+++) are:
♥ Bioré Aqua Rich Watery Essence SPF50+/PA++++
♥ Bioré Whitening Cream SPF50+/PA++++
