Introducing Origins Dr. Andrew Weil Mega-Bright Skin Illuminating Collection

About 3 weeks ago, I got the chance to meet up with lovely FangWen from Origins Singapore. Actually Origins is not new to me as I have been a fan of its Out of Trouble Mask all these while. To be honest what attracted me to Origins is its interesting product names which one can more or less associated with its uses/benefits...but I did not have the chance to get to know more about brand and its products until Fangwen shared in greater details with me.. 

About Origins .... 

Origins mission is to create high-performance natural skincare

that is powered by nature and proven by science. Since Origins was founded in 1990, it has proven just how powerful plant ingredients are resolving skin’s most pressing concerns – without the potentially irritating side effects of harsh chemicals.

Clinically proven

Origins skincare are tested on volunteer panels and each of its Nature’s alternative comes with substantial clinical claims.

Our purity promise

Origins sources the highest quality therapeutic plants, 100% natural essential oils and certified organic ingredients from around the world. And they are carefully researched and proven safe and effective by its team of scientists. In response to consumer needs, Origins ensured its products are formulated without: Parabens ● Phthalates ● Propylene Glycol ● Mineral Oil ● PABA ● Petrolatum ● Paraffin ● DEA ● Animal Ingredients (except cruelty-free honey and beeswax).  

Earth-friendly

Origins products are manufactured using a combination of renewable resources, wind energy and earth-friendly practices. To-date, it has planted more than 25 million trees in collaborative efforts with Global Releaf® 

I was also introduced to the latest Origins Dr. Andrew Weil Mega-Bright Skin Illuminating Collection that is clinically proven to instantly brighten skin and improve clarity and radiance, fighting both the cause of skin discoloration while simultaneously combating the existing visible signs (dark spots, uneven skin tone) and preventing future development. 

The powerful ingredients from nature include Rosa Roxburghii Complex which contains highly potent anti-irritant ingredients that help quell melanin-triggering stress. Other key anti-irritant ingredients such as Licorice and White Peony help to brighten skin and restore translucency to skin.

There are a total of 5 products in this latest Origins Dr. Andrew Weil Mega-Bright Skin Illuminating Collection 

Here is what I tried out..

Origins Dr. Andrew Weil Mega-Bright Skin illuminating UV Protector SPF 40 PA+++ is  a sunscreen that provides protection against UVA and UVB rays to prevent skin discoloration and uneven skin tone while maintaining skin's translucency.

Like all other Origins products, it comes in a fuss-free and easy-to-squeeze tube with a screw cap . Do remember not to throw away the packaging after using. Just bring it back to any Origins outlet so that they can have your used bottles/tubes/jars sent to recycle. (You will be glad to know that Origins recycling program accept all packaging regardless of brand..so next time you know where you can bring your empties to)

This sunscreen comes in a natural skin-tone shade which is sheer and blend easily into skin without any greasiness or stickiness. Unlike traditional sunscreen that has got a strong SPF scent, Origins Dr. Andrew Weil Mega-Bright Skin illuminating UV Protector SPF 40 PA+++ has a citrus scent which uplifts my mood instantly. I do like that it offers a high SPF protection of SPF40++++ against the harmful UV rays. 

Origins Dr. Andrew Weil Mega-Bright Skin illuminating Collection is already available at all Origins counters and the good news is Origins Singapore is offering a complimentary Mega-Bright Mini Facial for all to experience the latest Origins Dr. Andrew Weil Mega-Bright Skin Illuminating products and you can also bring home Mega-bright samples for your trial.

Fancl Mild Cleansing Oil - One Rinse Makeup Removal That Beautifies In 1 Minute

I am pretty sure that if you are a skincare fanatic, this product is definitely no stranger to you!


Yes, Fancl Mild Cleansing Oil is so popular and adored by women in Japan that 1 bottle is sold every 7 seconds, and it has been one of the best-selling star products at Fancl Singapore Stores too.

Fancl Mild Cleansing Oil is a preservative-free and non-comedogenic innovative makeup remover that focuses on cleansing power, gentleness and simplicity.

Research at FANCL proves that additive-free MUTENKA care ensures skin is free from stress, optimizing skin’s beautifying qualities. This is the secret to the long-lasting beauty FANCL brings you.

Fancl Mild Cleansing Oil contains only potent MUTENKA ingredients that give skin what it truly needs for beauty – without any of the risky skin stressors that lead to poor skin and aging signs. Cleansing is thorough, effortless and quick, all while giving your complexion added skincare benefits. With each refreshing rinse, skin enjoys the deep cleansing nourishment it needs to stay radiant, clear and smooth.

Benefits of Using Fancl Mild Cleansing Oil:

Full Ingredients List:

Contents/Prices:

 





















Freshness Period (an indicator of the product at its freshest and optimum effectiveness):

Unopened: 1 year from manufacturing fate.
After opening: 120 days (Freshness Sticker is included in each packaging)

How To Use:

Let us see how well it can remove makeup ..

Fancl Mild Cleansing Oil may feel slightly oily and thick when I applied onto my skin. Thanks to the Cushion Oil which forms a protective layer between my skin and finger tips, massaging of product on my skin has been a breeze without causing any friction that may stress my skin. Unlike other cleansing oils which need me to add water to emulsify the cleansing oil, I just need to rinse off with water after massaging when I use Fancl Mild Cleansing Oil. Surprisingly, waterproof makeup and thick foundation rinse away cleanly and effortlessly with just a few splashes of water, without any greasy after-wash feel. My skin feels moisturised after cleaning too. However, due to my habit, I still double cleanser with my regular facial cleanser after using any cleansing oil.

Do take note of the freshness period and finish the product within 120 days after first use, as the product is free of preservatives, sterilizers, petroleum surfactants, fragrances and mineral oil. If you seldom wear makeup, I would suggest that you buy the smaller bottle (60ml), it is half the size of the big bottle.

Now you can minimize the time it takes to remove makeup, while maximizing on skincare with Fancl Mild Cleansing Oil.

1 minute is all you take for a complete, gentle makeup removal, without any unpleasant greasy feel.

Normaderm Latest Tri-Activ Cleanser And New Formulas Cleansers

Recently I attended Vichy Bloggers' Event and received these new products from its Normaderm range. I am a fan of Vichy Tri-Activ Anti-Imperfection Hydrating Care Moisturiser so I was very happy that I can try out more products from the Normaderm range as it is meant for acne prone and sensitive skin like mine.

More information about  Normaderm Tri-Activ Anti-Imperfection Hydrating Care Moisturiser:

We were told that since 2003, 20 million units of Tri-Activ Anti-Imperfection Hydrating Care Moisturiser were sold worldwide!

If you were to give this moisturiser a try, you will know why so many million units were sold worldwide and why I love it so much!

Normaderm Tri-Activ Anti-Imperfection Hydrating Care Moisturiser  is definitely one of my Holy Grail moisturisers. I just love how it keeps my skin feeling ultra smooth and improve my skin imperfections. I had used up a tube and a bottle in the past 2 months. (Read my full review of the product here)

Next up, introducing the main highlight of the event from Vichy Normaderm range:

Tri-Activ Cleanser

Tri-Activ Cleanser is a 3 in 1 product, you can use it as a cleanser, an exfoliator and a mask.

Tri-Activ Cleanser comes in a simple tube form which makes it hassle-free to dispense the right amount of product.



So here is how you use the product:

How the product looks like:

I have been using this product for about a week, using it as a cleanser/scrub once a day and so far so good. Although it contains 25% clay, it does not leave my skin feeling tight or dry after each wash. In fact, I find my skin feel much smoother and softer. Thanks to the skin soothing agent and Vichy Thermal Spa water in the product!

So far I used it as a mask once, and I am happy with the result too. With my fingers, I squeeze an appropriate amount of product and apply onto my whole face (avoiding my lips and eye areas) and I just leave it on for 5 minutes before rinsing off with water. The creamy mask did not dry up like what traditional clay mask does, I am surprised that 5 minutes is all I need to have a clearer skin. If you are in a rush for time, just use this mask during your shower or while you are shampoo-ing your hair. ('',)

We were also introduced to these two New and Improved Formulas Cleansers..

I have yet to try out these 2 new formulas cleansers, as I am using the Tri-Activ Cleanser at the moment. Will try them soon.


Vichy Normaderm Range is suitable for oily sensitive skin which suffers from acne, clogged pores, redness and shine.

Do drop by any Vichy counters to have a complimentary Skin Diagnosis using a special smart heldhand device. In just 5 minutes, you can find out your sebum and hydration levels of your skin, what skin type you are and which Vichy range is more suitable for you.

Happy Moments With Lactacyd Intimate Daily Feminine Hygiene Wash- My Everyday Love!

Some of the happy and memorable moments in my life. Yes, if you have noticed, I was indeed happy in all the pictures.. Great friends, fun activities plus feeling fresh and clean at the V-zone made me happier and enjoyed myself more!!!!  ('',)

  

.... Because I did not experienced any bad odour, itchiness or/and redness at my V-zone (nether region) ..I cannot imagine if  I have bad odour or feel itchy at my V-zone, I doubt I will even want to go out, cause I would be conscious of my bad odour. This will definitely dampen my mood. That is why I have been using feminine hygiene wash and wipes in the past decade.

It is important to realise that just like other parts of the body, a woman's intimate area requires special care and attention.

Therefore, we need feminine hygiene wash. / wipes to maintain the healthy pH level of our V-Zone.

Our V-Zone is of pH 3.8 to 4.5. Normal body wash are usually more alkaline which will reduce the natural protection of the V-Zone. The skin and lining surrounding a woman's intimate area contains "friendly" bacteria, which produces an acid known as lactic acid. This acid maintains a healthy environment and prevents the growth of "unfriendly" bacteria or yeast, which can cause infection.

Hence the feminine hygiene wash that we choose should be gentle enough yet help to protect against infections and irritations.

Introducing my favourite range of feminine care products.. from Lactacyd. I have tried a couple of feminine washes in the last 10 years, but I always go back to Lactacyd, especially when I discovered the latest Lactacyd Intimate Daily Feminine Wash and Wipes a few months back. I just LOVEx100 these 2 products! (My Holy Grails!)  They have become part of my daily lifestyle, and I cannot live without them!

My love relationship with Lactacyd Intimate Daily Feminine Wash & Wipes started when I picked up my first Lactacyd Intimate trial pack ($2) at Watsons many months back. In the trial pack, it consists of a sample bottle of Intimate Daily Feminine Wash (40ml) and a retail size pack of Daily Feminine Wipes (10 pieces).

Update: I just purchased yet another lactacyd trial pack from Watsons and here are more details and images on the trial pack..

Now it even includes a $2 off coupon for our next purchase of the 250ml Lactacyd Intimate Daily Feminine Hygiene Wash (Usual Price: $6.90). How Nice!




Now take a closer look at my 2 Holy Grail Feminine Care products from Lactacyd ...

It made my V-zone really clean and fresh. It also made my skin feel well moisturised after each wash. Thanks to the extra natural milk extract and gentle formula!

 

 

 

Lactacyd Daily Feminine Wipes are specially designed for women's imtimate areas. Wipes are suitable for daily use.

Its Benefits:

• Same ingredients as Lactacyd Feminine Hygiene Wash
• Contains natural ingredients Lactic Acid and milk extract, which help to preserve the natural vaginal acidic protective layer.

Full Ingredients List:

 

 

Directions of use:

Pull out one piece of wipe from packet, unfold and gently wipe the feminine area. Discard the used wipe. Do not flush. Reseal pack immediately after use.

Lactacyd Daily Feminine Wipe has a cotton-like texture and a pleasant nice scent. It is so soft and gentle to be used on our sensitive V-zone. I always have a pack in my pouch because these wipes really come in handy during my menses, especially when I change my sanitary pad. It cleanses my delicate skin gently and effectively, providing an immediate freshness to my V-Zone. It just feel more comfortable to clean my intimate area during each change of sanitary pad.  This is really a convenient pack, as I can clean and freshen anytime, anywhere to make me feel fresh and confident.  No more discomfort and sticky feeling after using lactacyd Daily Feminine Wipe.
