Now let me show you more about the product and tell you how it is like....

AFC Green Beauty comes in individual sachets (30 sachets in each box), very convenient and handy to carry a few sachets in our bags. We can prepare a beauty drink anytime anywhere.

It is mentioned that Green Beauty dissolves easily in hot or cold water .. I shall put that to test..normally powder do not dissolve well in cold water, no matter how well you stir the mixture..

When I poured cold water into my glass, I think most of the powder had already dissolved. I just merely stirred the mixture for 2-3 seconds..Green Beauty powder just dissolves that easily in cold water without any clumps floating .. and there is no residue of the powder at the base of the glass.. Amazing! 

What do you think this beauty juice will taste like by looking at these pictures? Green Tea taste? Not really a green tea! I drink green tea almost everyday but this does not taste like any green tea.. A hard to describe taste actually..It can be tasteless at one sip, but taste sweet at my next sip.. In fact, after drinking so many glasses- both hot/cold green beauty drinks, I still cannot think of any drink/ingredient that is similar to the taste of Green Beauty..A unique taste of its own! 

For those of you who know me or have been reading my blog would know that I have pretty horrible constipation problems for years.. and Green Beauty drinks really helps aid my constipation, inducing smooth bowel movement. After taking Green Beauty drink every night before I go to bed for the past 3 weeks, I go to the toilet for defecation almost every day. I did not experience any stomach pain nor diarrhoea effect! And I can feel my complexion more radiant these days. Guess the dual-action formula in Green beauty helps, in the way of detoxifying my body and nourishing my skin at the same time. Happy me!

Besides making a beauty drink with AFC Green Beauty with hot/cold water, milk, honey or even soy milk, we can also use AFC Green Beauty to make delicious desserts - simply mix 1 sachet of green beauty with warm soy milk/milk to make a cup of Green Juice Latte, add green beauty into your yoghurt/vanilla ice cream for a healthy sweet treat, or try a simple yet refreshing crystal green jelly with this recipe:-

And the GREAT NEWS is.... I have 3 boxes of AFC Green Beauty to be given away to 3 lucky winners...

Clarins White Plus HP Whitening Velvet Emulsions

In January 2012, Clarins Singapore introduced two new members into its whitening range (White Plus HP Sea Lily Enriched) at all Clarins counters islandwide. Thanks to Clarins Singapore, I was given the opportunity to try out both these 2 latest products - The New White Plus HP Whitening Velvet Emulsion and Whitening Velvet Emulsion SPF20.

By combining active ingredients with proven whitening properties, the White Plus HP Sea Lily Enriched products offers the most advanced protection against hyperpigmentation both inside and outside the melanoctye...the unique ingredients used in the White Plus HP Sea Lily Enrich range..

• Sea lily extract - controls the extension of dendrites, the "arms" of melanocytes which deliver melanin to cells in the epidermis. 
• Alchemilla extract - slows the excessive transfer of melanin to the epidermis.
• The combination of raspberry extract ( a highly stable vitamin C derivative) and biotin (vitamin B8) slows the synthesis of melanin. 
• Tannins from alchemilla and flavonoids from raspberry and parsley enhance the natural draining mechanism in skin by increasing the resistance of blood capillaries. 

The precious extract of an exceptional flower with whitening powers ..Sea Lily 

Full Ingredients Lists of Clarins Whitening Velvet Emulsion SPF20 & Whitening Velvet Emulsion: 

Recommended Method To Use Clarins Whitening Velvet Emulsions:

Prices/Contents: 

• Whitening Velvet Emulsion $92 (75ml) 
• Whitening Velvet Emulsion SPF20 - $100 (75ml)

Trying the products for about a month: 

Whitening Velvet Emulsion SPF 20 is enriched with meadowsweet extract that helps protect skin against shine due to the heat. It also contains UV filters and white tea extract to provide protection against harmful environmental factors and the sun. I am currently using Whitening Velvet Emulsion SPF 20  as a day moisturiser and Whitening Velvet Emulsion as a night moisturiser. You can also use the latter as both a day and night moisturiser. 

Both emulsions have the same ultra-fluid and soft textures that make application a breeze.. First I spread and warm the product in my palms before patting the emulsion onto my skin. As it is very light weight and non greasy, the product absorbed almost instantly when I patted it on my skin. And Voila! ~ skin feel amazing soft and velvetly smooth! In the past 1 month of usage, I have noticed that my skin has become much smoother and clearer, and looks luminous! These products have nice floral scent.. I can still smell the light floral note within the first 1- 2 hours upon application, and the scent just uplift my mood instantly... 

Another thing I like is both these products come in pump bottles so it makes dispensing the emulsions totally convenient and quick!

Here is me wearing Clarins Whitening Velvet Emulsion SPF20 with Clarins Skin Illusion Liquid Foundation. Tested and proven, Clarins Whitening Velvet Emulsion SPF20 enhances my makeup and makes my base makeup last longer too!

Try out this new Clarins Whitening Velvet Emulsion SPF 20 now and hope you will love it as much as I do...

Biore Marshmallow Whip Facial Wash

Presenting my Biore Marshmallow Whip Facial Wash that is one of the latest skincare items that has just hit the shelves of our supermarkets, Watsons, Guardian and Medical stores...

Yes it is a cleanser! But this is no ordinary cleanser... Did you realise something special about product name? -> Marshmallow  o.O

It's not a sweet, so why it is called a Marshmallow Whip Facial Wash????

Because it creates instant dense foam as fluffy as marshmallow with just one pump!!

I am sure you know that it is the foam from the cleanser that clean our face well.

Foam is the secret behind effective, gentle cleansing!

Foam cleans better with finer bubbles and it also help reduce the friction between our face and hands.  if we do not lather our cleanser into foam, it won't cleanse our skin well, and will be harsh on our skin too.


A Quick Comparison Between a flat foam created from hand lathering vs the dense foam of Biore Marshmallow Whip Facial Wash.. (Pls note that not all cleansers can be lathered into foam, cleansing milk does not though)

With Biore Marshmallow Whip Facial Wash, no more hassle to use foaming net or spend extra time to lather for foam.. it just dispense instant foam that is so dense and fluffy, and I can use it immediately on my moist skin.

Directions of use:

1) Pump 1-2 pumps onto palm and massage onto wet face.

2) Rinse thoroughly with water.

3) Avoid pumping in excessively wet conditions.

Full Ingredients:

With Biore Marshmallow Whip Facial Wash, it saves me the time to lather my normal cleanser into foam, as it gives me instant quality foam in just a pump. Thanks to the special foam dispenser bottle! I just massage the the ultra soft and fluffy onto my moist skin.  The light floral scent makes my cleansing routine an enjoyable one. Absolutely no tight feeling after washing, just softer and smoother skin! It is stated on the packaging that 1 bottle gives 150 pumps, and 1 full pump is all I need to wash my whole big face. So a bottle can last approximately 2 months+ if we use it twice a day!

Did I mention that refill packs of this product are also available? Biore Marshmallow Whip Facial Wash is indeed an eco-friendly cleanser that pamper our skin in a gentle but fun way!


Biore Marshmallow Whip Facial Wash retails at $13.90 (150ml) per bottle, available at major supermarkets and medical stores.



And don't forget to check out the Biore Marshmallow Whip Game now and stand a chance to win some attractive prizes..

Play this game at www.marshmallow.com.sg now! Enjoy....

Thank you Biore (Kao Singapore Pte Ltd) and The Sample Store for sending me this fun and wonderful Biore Marshmallow Whip Facial Wash for my trial. Loving it!
