B.liv in healthy skin

October 21, 2018

Pronounce as “believe:, B.liv was established in 2009, created to cater to easy-to-use and affordable personal skin care regimen. B.liv seeks to inspire and give confidence to the youths of today in making a difference. Previously, the B.liv team sent me their B.liv O2 Bubbly Bright to try out and this time, I received more goodies from them to review on!

Introducing b.liv’s latest family members – Rose Bloom. This power-packed essential booster penetrates deeply into the skin layer to deliver a high concentration of active ingredients. Besides fast absorption, they also address targeted skin concerns to give more meaningful results.

Rose petals are most potent at the bud stage, they are hand-plucked and infused into the oil for more intense results. Not only does the essential oil look so pretty with rose petals flooding among the solution, it smells really therapeutic too! Rose is a useful agent in moisturising and softening skin. Its highly nourishing properties help to protect the skin against lost of moisture and environmental aggressors (E.g. pollutants), making it particularly suitable for the treatment of dry, sensitive or damaged skin.

Apart from the Rose Bloom, the other members of the essential boosters are HA Temptation and Collagen Indulgence. As the name suggests, HA (Hyaluronic Acid) Temptation is a luxurious moisture-locking portion that instantly hydrates and helps reserve the visible signs of aging. containing collagen and Hydrolysed Silk, Collagen Indulgence is crafted to improve skin's elasticity and maintain youthfulness.

Masking has always been my favourite part of the skin care routine, not only does it hydrates and refreshes my skin. It is also the easiest step of the entire routine and doesn't hinder any activities. The lovely parcel from B.liv team arrived with a box of the Immerse Me & lt hydrating mask. B.liv classic masks' formulation has been improved with new skin care technology and more natural ingredients.

Fortified by AcquaCellTM, immerse me is a salve for face parched and dry, as it soaks the skin in a jiffy, while maintaining skin's hydration. Its nutrient-carrying essence helps the skin cells and to input moisture into the deeper layer of the skin.

What I love most about this mask, is the material it is made in. Originated from Japan, their thin layered mask sheet is made from 82% wood pulp which doesn't tear easily. It felt almost like a luxurious piece of mask and I have to compliment on the moisture of the mask; it is well packed with the essence and does not dry out easily :)

BRAND’S® InnerShine® RubyCollagen Essence Drink

March 31, 2017

As we age, collagen levels in our skin continually dip as its ability to synthesise new collagen begins to diminish. Environmental and lifestyle factors such as ultraviolet (UV) rays, stress, and smoking further accelerate the loss of collagen. In order to fend the visual signs of aging, it is necessary to not only replenish lost collagen, but also prevent further collagen degradation in the skin from occurring. Thus regular intake of collagen is necessary to support the skin’s structural foundation to improve firmness and elasticity for youthful and supple skin.

Inspired by this insight, BRAND’S® InnerShine® developed RubySignature™, a formulation designed specifically to challenge the existing paradigm in anti-aging skin care. is created with a unique and precious blend of ingredients derived from natural sources. It contains micro-collagen and one of mother nature’s most powerful antioxidants, astaxanthin (micro-algae extract).

The most powerful antioxidant known to science, Astaxanthin not only serves as the perfect complement by acting as a natural shield against the collagen-depleting procedure, it also helps to combat the risk of high blood pressure and heart disease by reducing “bad” cholesterol oxidation.

Containing both micro-collagen and Astaxanthin, RubySignature™ formula defies the ageing process by performing a vital triple-action of supplying collagen, protecting against collagen degradation and delivering collagen effectively to skin cells.

Infused with natural pomegranate juice, BRAND’S® InnerShine® RubyCollagen makes for a truly delicious treat and an indispensable beauty oral supplement that addresses the heightened needs of aging skin. Designed to easily complement your existing topical skin care routine to form a comprehensive beauty regimen, the BRAND’S® InnerShine® RubyCollagen Essence range is available in both drink and strip formats. Daily consumption will help to ensure that your body is adequately supplied with the essential nutrients for optimal skin support and protection.

The drink comes in a pretty ruby shade and is really delicious, especially when you consume it chilled. The bottles are small and portable so you can enjoy one anytime, anywhere! For optimum efficacy, it is recommended that BRAND’S® InnerShine® RubyCollagen be consumed twice daily to experience the skin age-reversing difference in 6 weeks

The RubyCollagen Essence range by BRAND’S® InnerShine® is available at all leading pharmacy and personal care stores.

BRAND’S® InnerShine® RubyCollagen Essence (50ml x 12): SGD $62.90

ACUVUE® OASYS® 1-DAY Contact Lens

December 18, 2016

I have been wearing contact lenses since the age of 16. I started out with daily lenses before moving on to cosmetic lenses with wider outer rim which get slightly uncomfortable if worn for too long. Nowadays, I usually head to work with my spectacles whenever I feel that my eyes are getting tired out with lenses. Recently, I got to try out Acuvue Oasys 1-Day with HydraLuxe 1 day contact lenses.

Formulated with Hydraluxe technology, Acuvue Oasys 1-Day reduces frictional energy for effortless blinking, to minimise feeling of eye fatigue. It is designed to provide performance throughout demanding days.
It optimises eye health with highest UV protection, enhances moisture network with smoother sense surface for effortless blinking and reduction of tiredness. Its tear-like molecules supports the tear film for outstanding comfort. Produced with hydrated silicone, the highly breathable material is better for corneal health.

Before getting my hand on the Acuvue Oasys 1-Day lenses, I headed down to Nanyang Optical (Junction 8) for an eye check. My eye care professional for the day - You Jing was really friendly and gentle! I went through a comprehensive eye health assessment, including measurement of my vision degree, lessons of accurate way to fit and remove lenses and checking of the eye for UV damages. Fortunately, my degree did not deteriorate too much. However, my astigmatism increased. It was no surprise as the cosmetic lenses that I wore do not rectify the issue.

Detailed explanation about my eye health status and the type of lenses that are more suitable for me were all well conveyed by You Jing. I was given samples from other 1-day Acuvue ranges to try on as well. The Acuvue Oasys 1-Day lenses provide more comfort in comparison to the usual cosmetic lenses I wore. Despite my designing job requiring me to stare at the computer for long hours looking at tiny details, my eyes still feel comfortable.

Acuvue Oasys 1-Day is available at $72 per box (of 30 lenses)
