KEEP COOL & STAY FRESH - Kiehl's Ultra Facial Oil-Free Skincare Range!

Recently, I've had the honour to try out

Kiehl's Ultra Facial Oil-Free Skincare Range,

which would be made available in Singapore in June 2014!

I have combination skin type,

which is oily at my T-zoned area and dry at other areas at the same time.
Like many of you girls who lived in sunny & humid Singapore,

the weather is always so unforgiving that it gives me super fugly shines by the end of a looong and tiring day!

Lucky for me,

these products had been really effective on controlling and reducing my oil secretion

without drying out my skin!

LEAVING MY SKIN COOL & FRESH ALL DAY!

When it comes to every skincare ranges, the first step is always

CLEANSING!

ULTRA FACIAL OIL-FREE CLEANSER

It's a lightweight formulated to remove excess oil and impurities!

I like how its Paraben-FREE, Silicon-FREE, Fragrance-FREE, Oil-FREE!

I only needs a little pea size amount to foam it up!

(I squeezed a little more for this photo)

The 2 main ingredients that made this product so effective are...

1. Imperata Cylindrica Root Extract

Helps skin to store and retain moisture as this plant specially prolific

in the Australian Outback. Hence, providing immediate and lasting hydrating effect.

2. Lemon Fruit Extract

Astringent and antiseptic qualities that freshen, stimulate and rejuvenate sluggish skin.

See how this quick-lathering cleansing foam foams up so easily even without water?!

A little will goes a looooooong way!

Plus!

It's also gentle enough for ladies with sensitive skin types!

Next...TONING!

ULTRA FACIAL OIL-FREE TONER
Hydrating formula to balance and freshen skin!

I like how each and every bottle is sealed like this (below)

to keep its freshness!

Same as the cleanser...

Its Paraben-FREE, Silicon-FREE, Fragrance-FREE, Oil-FREE!

It's refreshing after each wipe as this oil-free formula visibly reduces

excess oil without drying up my skin!

WHY?! YOU MIGHT ASK...

This is because it contains non-drying alcohol-free formula that removes any remaining residue,

dirt and oil without stripping skin of vital moisture.

It is also PH-balanced!

The 2 main ingredients that made this product so effective are...

none other than

1. Imperata Cylindrica Root Extract (mention above)

2. Antarcticine

Providing superb protection against dryness and damaging effects of free radicals while hydrating skin,

leaving it noticeably smoother appearance.

Lastly but definitely not the least...

MOISTURISING!

KIEHL'S ULTRA FACIAL OIL-FREE GEL CREAM FRESH HYDRATION

Conditions normal to oily skin for 24hours with fresh-feeling hydration!

Like the toner packaging, this moisturising gel is sealed with freshness!

A bottle of goodness!

It contains 3 main ingredients...

1. Imperata Cylindrica Root Extract (mention above)

2. Antarcticine (mention above)

3. Glycerin

Pulls moisture from the air to replenish and hydrates skin.

I like how this moisturiser not only gives 24hours of hydration,

it also provide a balance between shine and moisture,

leaving my skin matt and almost shine-free after a whole day!

It's non-greasy nor oily when applied onto skin!

Really absorb into my skin really fast and I like how it leaves my skin refreshing

and non-sticky after that!

This product was launched before however,

with the NEW & IMPROVED FORMULA...

It provides 24hours instead of 8hours of hydration.

Significantly reduces the appreance of shine for 24hours.

I also notice the significant reduction in the appearance of pores for 24hours!

SAY BYE BYE TO OILY SKIN

HELLO TO COOLING, REFRESHING SKIN!

Overall, if you have normal to oily skin type like I do,

I would highly recommend you to try this range out because after trying it out for

about a week by now...

I'm really amazed by how much improvement my skin has become...

it's less shinier by the end of the day plus,

it doesn't give me any breakouts nor redness!
So people with sensitive skin, DO TRY THIS OUT AS WELL!

You can always head to any Kiehl's store now to ask for a free sample to try out
this range of skincare by quoting my name or my blog!
You'll sure to love it after trying it!

Alright, that's all from me for now!
In the meantime...
GO BE BEAUTIFUL!♥

TwentyFourSeven: SKIN FOOD masks X Grab bags

[Sponsored]

Hello!^^

One of the main beauty regime everyone should definitely have is MASKS!

There's a lot of skincare and cosmetic brands out there to choose from and today,

I'm gonna share with y'all a re-known brand

SKIN FOOD.

Skin Food is a South Korean skincare brand since 1957. It is the first food cosmetic brand developed in Korea, which emphasizes on the importance of "feeding" our skin with complete nutrition that will enhance skin's natural beauty while maintaining youth.

TwentyFourSeven is a Instagram site that sells SKIN FOOD masks and Grab bags!

My sister and I were sponsored with a few masks and these are the masks

that we personally chose.

Both of us have tried these masks for a week and here are our reviews...

First up,

BANANA YOGURT MASK

This Banana Yogurt Wash Off Mask is a moisturizing yogurt mask pack with banana extract. Banana

contains essential vitamins and minerals that benefit the skin with moisturizing properties.

It also soothes sensitive skin and provides nutrition and luster, keeping skin moist. I would definitely recommend this mask to those with dry and acne prone skin.

The mask is really easy and smooth to apply on skin as seen on these photos. However, it's a little runny hence, I would advice to apply just a generous amount all over your face will do.

After washing it off, it leaves your skin velvety smooth and hydrated.

Next,

STRAWBERRY BLACK SUGAR MASK

This facial mask contains mineral-rich Brazilian black sugar with strawberry seeds and strawberry seed oil. Strawberry is renowned for oily and troubled skin with enlarged pores. Suitable for all skin type. When applied smoothly on skin, it leaves skin fresh, clean and fragrant with a strawberry scent.

This was the mask my sister chose and from her verdict, she finds her skin smoother right after the first try! She also mention that it smells heavenly which I definitely agree on as well!

This mask contain a lot of small and big sugar bits and it's definitely the roughest among all 3 masks.
You can see the sugar bits from both photos here.

Lastly,

HONEY RED ORANGE MASK

Nourished with New Zealand's Manuka honey and Californian orange extract, this scrub mask pack aims to exfoliates rough dead skin cells and reveals smoother and firmer skin from within.

Manuka honey of New Zealand is renowned for its powerful anti-bacterial properties than other honey and oranges from Southern California contain high amount of sugar and vitamin C that keep skin supple and moisturized. With these two foods, this exfoliating mask pack has natural exfoliating AHA ingredients to effectively remove dead skin cells yet hydrates skin at the same time.

It smells really yummy and it comes in a sticky gel like texture.

Not really harsh but I would recommend to only use this twice to trice per week as the sugar bits may be a little harsh on the skin when use too frequently.

I mention above that @Twentyfourseven__ also sells brand new and pre-loved items in Grab bags!

Initially, I was only told that I'm sponsored with masks however to my surprise, the parcels came in with these goodies which was a little gift from the ladyBOSS for X'mas & New Year!♥

These items seen here are some of the features you can get when purchasing grab bags!
Grab bags are sold at standard prices of $15, $25 & $35!
More details of grab bags can be found in their Instagram page.
