Magic Shop Workshop Event

Wednesday, 26 March 2014

Visited Magic Shop @ Far East Plaza for an event very long ago.
Only posted now cause we need to have the green light before we can post ;)

This shop sells lots of products from Taiwan!
From makeup to skincare to body products!

♥♥♥

Makeup
They have lots of makeup their - lip products, powder, eyeliners, makeup removers, etc.
Here's some...

They demo-ed this eyeliner there and it seems really good.
It's really smudgeproof and waterproof!
It's not an auto liner though. So you will have to sharpen it.

Four colors available for different purposes!
This product can be used on it's own or mixed with foundation.
I believe it can act as a primer too ;)

♥♥♥

Skincare
If you think they have a lot of makeup, they have a even wider range of skincare.
Their products target a wide range of skin types!

One of their star products (of course I had to get it too)
It is said to help reduce pimples and redness :)
They tried it on my skin that day and it almost instantly helped reduced some redness.

A wide range of products suited for various skin types.
Some of which even received certification in taiwan!

Another popular skincare product in their shop!

♥♥♥

Body Products
They have lesser body products in their shop.

I think we tried endless love that day and it smells not bad!

[Review] Philosophy Hope In A Jar Night + Holiday Collection

Thursday, 7 November 2013

I wasn't able to attend the Philosophy Night Out event sometime back.
But... Nuffnang was super sweet! They sent me the product for me to review :)

I am aware that one of Philosophy's popular product is their Hope in a Jar!
It was highly raved in the States when it was launched!

* Do you know? *
The Nighttime is your skin's best opportunity for renewal and the ideal time to use more intensive skin care treatments, say good night to fine lines, uneven skin tone and roughness and wake-up to smoother, glowing,youthful skin.

And cause of this…

Philosophy now has the
Hope in a Jar NIGHT!


Now you can dream in hope and live in hope ;)

Philosophy's new hope in a jar night is a intense re-texturizing moisturizer that helps redefine your beauty sleep! It features a patented qusome delivery system that allows for better, gentler and more effective penetration of active ingredients!

The glycolic acid helps re-texturize skin as it plumps the appearance of fine lines and even skin tone while the beta glucan helps strengthen skin’s natural cellular defense. hope in a jar night is clinically proven to help improve the signs of aging with regular use:
1. overnight, 92% felt softer, comfortably hydrated skin.*
2. 2 weeks, 90% showed diminished fine lines.*

Black container to represent the night!

♥♥♥

Now for my review!

Hope in a Jar night is really creamy, smooth and rather thick. It is a lil greasy too (but it's a cream and all creams are naturally greasy) and takes awhile to be absorbed by the skin. BUT once the product is absorbed by the skin, it leaves you skin with a smooth finish! The strong plus point is that the product is definitely moisturizing! Tried it for a day and my skin was really softer! What sorcery is this?! Hahas. Also, the product has a lemon/citrus-ish smell and I supposed it's to make the product aromatic? 

It might sting a lil when you first apply but it goes away quite quickly. Also, it is stated on the container that the user should try to use sunscreen or avoid sun exposure during the first week of usage!

Overall I think this product is good! Cause it really does moisturize! :)


Dream in hope with Hope in a Jar!
Hope in a Jar Night (60ml) retails for $64 and it is available at all Sephora outlets.

♥♥♥

Since Christmas is now drawing near, have you all planned on what to get for your loved ones?
Philosophy has really pretty gift sets!

Love their gift sets!
They all look really pretty and Christmas-y!
Especially the Christmas versions.
Also, Philosophy's Christmas series are known to smell very nice!
Your friends and family will definitely love the gift ♥
Do head down to Sephora to check out the products ;)

[Review] Darlie Expert White toothpaste & Charcoal Spiral Toothbrush

Friday, 25 October 2013


Here's the review of Darlie Expert White toothpaste & Charcoal Spiral Toothbrush!

♥♥♥

Darlie Expert White

Darlie Expert White is inspired by professional whitening treatments used in daily dental care – Ultrasonic scaling and Polishing. Specially enhanced with Prophylaxis Silica-micro particles (PS-mp), an ingredient similar to what dentist uses, it helps to provide a professional teeth-whitening experience for all, revealing a shiny confidence smile.

Research show that...
1. Darlie Expert White can help to prevent up to 80% of stain and tartar accumulation
2. Contains PS-mp ingredient that helps to make teeth 3 times whiter
3. 88% of respondent agree on its Professional Whitening Effects

I guess all of you know how irritating it is when daily food and beverage intake stain our teeth.
E.g. eating curry can stain your teeth yellow and drinking red wine can stain your teeth red!
Thus there is a need to use Darlie Expert White daily to create a Whitening shield over the teeth.
This way you can prevent against such staining ;)

I've always been really jealous of those in the United States as they could easily grab hold of good teeth whitening toothpastes. But now I no longer have to be jealous of them since we now have Darlie Expert White in Singapore! I've been using the toothpaste twice daily for almost a week and I think my teeth has become whiter! :) Pretty blue toothpaste that has a minty taste and is helps to freshen up my breath too! :)

Check out Meiting's video here for an experiment that she did using Darlie Expert White!


You can get your Darlie Expert White at an affordable price of $5.90 for 120g,
available at all leading departmental stores.

And... currently there is a offer!
Darlie Expert White Buy 2 Get 1 MUST BUY promotion at all NTUC FairPrice outlets.
Savings of 30%! (Promotion only valid from 24 - 30 Oct 2013)

♥♥♥

Charcoal Spiral Toothbrush
In their advertisement, Darlie states that more than 16,000 sold within first month of launch!

So what's so good about this toothbrush?

1. Brush bristles are infused with Binchotan (White Charcoal)
It is said that Binchotan charcoal can prevent bacteria growth and helps to remove plaque!
Actually I have no idea what Binchotan is so I did a lil google on it ;)
"Binchotan charcoal which is known to radiate negative ion and 
has powerful deodorizing effect to remove plaque and the cause of bad breath.
It also helps to prevent the harmful bacteria or viruses from growing."

2. Very slim tip bristles to clean between the gaps!
The brush has super slim tip bristles that are <0.01mm!

3. Feels extremely soft and comfortable to use
It does not hurt the gums and feel suitable for sensitive gums :)

Overall, I feel that the toothbrush complement the Darlie Expert White to achieve a whiter teeth!

♥♥♥

Towards a whiter set of teeth!
Good Luck!
