Biotherm Aquasource Nuit (Night) Hydrating Jelly

Remember the post on free samples I did a little while back? You can view that here. I received an SMS asking me to come down to one of the Biotherm counters to redeem the Biotherm Aquasource Hydrating Jelly. The girl was very nice and offered to show me some of the other moisturizing products since I'm not familiar with Biotherm. I love the Biotherm packaging colours, cause the blue shades are so pretty and immediately make me think of fresh springs and moisturizing.

It is a 5 ml product in a tube, and is packaged nicely in a box. The box explains how skin loses the most water at night and therefore needs optimal hydration. As it is meant for night time use, I only applied it on at night. I like how it is in a tube instead of a tub, because I hate dipping my fingers into a tub and using a spatula is very tedious. Another plus point is that this is suitable for all skin types.

I've been having some dry and dehydrated skin issues, so I hoped that this product would be able to fix that. While I drink a lot of water, my body loses a lot of water just as quickly. My cheeks are especially affected, since naturally have a combination skin (oily T-zone, dry cheeks).

According to the box, the Aquasource Night promises that the skin "is deeply hydrated and does not dry out until the morning. Upon awakening, skin looks fresh and plumped". After applying it to my skin, it felt oily, which I didn't like. There is a scent too but it is not unpleasant.

However, when I woke up the next day, my skin was only slightly moisturized but still dry. I've already used up the product completely but I don't feel that it really moisturized my skin as well as I hoped it would. I also hate going to bed with the oily feeling on my skin, so that's quite a negative point. I guess that I won't repurchase this product because it didn't give me the results that I wanted. It is a shame because I really like the packaging for the full-size products. But pretty packaging is no substitute for a quality product that suits your skin.

Schwarzkopf Ultimate Colour 499 Dark Cherry review

TDLR Review: I would not recommend this hair colour product at all, because the shade turned out nothing like the box. Also it is difficult to wash off. NOTE: I have dark Asian hair, which might be the reason why it's not suitable for this product. So I'm back with another hair dye review! I've raved about the Liese hair dyes before ( Cassis Berry , Sweet Apricot , Antique Rose ), because those are super easy to use (I've appreciated that even more after finding out how difficult some at-home hair dye kits can be to apply). But I got suckered into getting a box of Schwarzkopf Ultimate Colour hair dye, because the models on Schwarzkopf hair dye boxes always have gorgeous shades of hair! I've used Schwarzkopf before, I've bought the Palette in Magical Blue Black (no review, only a haul). But I was disappointed with it, because there was only a faint sheen of blue, and the black faded from my hair quite quickly. The trouble with Schwarzkopf also is...

Old Town White Coffee Ipoh Hor Fun review

Who doesn't like Old Town White Coffee? It's so nostalgic, from the furniture they have to the food they serve. It's really like a throwback to the simpler times in Singapore. According to Wikipedia, Old Town White Coffee is the largest kopitiam restaurant chain in Malaysia and has over 180 outlets in the region. Can you believe that? I love their kaya toast and of course, their Ipoh Hor Fun. Why go to Penang when you can just enjoy the Hor Fun here? Normally I get those Ipoh Hor Fun that is served in rich gravy, with not much soup. But this one is served in a clear broth, which is perfect for a light meal that is also filling. At the end of it, you won't feel too full or bloated like if you had something richer. The kway teow is served with generous helpings of prawns and chicken shreds every time I go there (my favourite outlet is Playground at East Coast Park, the area that used to be Big Splash. There are 8 outlets in Singapore at the moment, and they ar...

Clear Women Anti Hair-Fall Shampoo review

After the review on the Himalaya Herbals Anti-Hair Fall Shampoo , I realized that I hadn't done a review on the Clear Women Anti Hair-Fall Shampoo, that I got and finished some time ago. As I mentioned in the last post, I was worried about the amount of hair fall I've been experiencing, and some thinning area around my fringe. So I've been taking a close look at the anti-hair fall shampoos that are available in the market. I got the Clear Women Anti Hair-Fall Shampoo in a travel size. I also got the Clear Women Dry Scalp and Itch Control Shampoo too. Considering that Clear has launched a new formula, I wanted to make sure I liked it before I purchased a retail size version. Also, a travel size sure makes it easy to tog along to the gym whenever I feel like it. Clear is quite a famous haircare brand.They've sponsored Lotus Renault in F1 2012, which boasts Kimi Raikkonen and Romain Grosjean as their drivers. Bet Kimi's never had dandruff before! An...
