Review: APIVITA Express Beauty With Pink Clay Face Mask

Tried the APIVITA Pink Clay Face Mask and so in love with it!

I was having some breakouts on my face recently due late night sleep and short hours of rest, and my skin was going a little haywire. I thought that my skin needed some deep cleansing and dug out my APIVITA Clay mask to use.

Product information:

Pink clay gently cleanses the pores without irritating the skin. 

The rose juice, wheat proteins and trace elements combined in the mask help to tone and rejuvenate the skin, leaving a natural, fresh glow behind. 

Ideal for normal, dry and sensitive skin.

Exclusive innovation: APIVITA replaces water in the express beauty line with green tea infusion to enhance the antioxidant action. 

 Excludes synthetic ingredients that may pose harmful effects to your health and the environment. 

 Free of: Parabens and Silicones.

Ingredients:

The Express Beauty Gentle Cleansing Mask has a rich formula and contains 89% natural ingredients.

Usage:

Apply an even, rich layer onto cleansed face avoiding the eye area. Leave the mask on for 10 minutes and thoroughly rinse off with water. Use 1-2 times weekly or as often as needed. For external use only.

My thoughts:

The clay mask comes in a pastel pink colour and smells rather good. When applied to the skin, it gradually heats up. The heat was bearable and not irritable on my skin. The clay mask heats up the skin and lift up impurities from within the skin. After rinsing off the mask, my skin looked brighter and pores looked much smaller. My skin felt so baby smooth and the clay mask is non-drying on the skin at all. 2 days after using the clay mask, I noticed that the blemishes on my skin gradually dry up and the bumps reduced in size.

I am definitely going to repurchase this product and use it when my skin is nearing breakout period.

My rating: 4.5/5

APIVITA Express Beauty Mask retails at $58 each for 12 sachets.

(Each sachet has the amount suitable for 3 times usage.)

Review: Ciracle Repairing Snail V3 Cream

Ciracle Repairing Snail V3 Cream has become one of my favourite face moisturisers since I was introduced to it months back. This Repairing Snail V3 Cream boosts about its V3 effectiveness.

 2. V-line

 3. Visible 

The effects are clearly visible!

The cream permeates deep into the skin with natural ingredients that provide flexibility, nutrition, anti-wrinkle, and anti-oxidant functions.

Ciracle has been proud of their creation and the ingredients they used in making this Repairing Snail V3 Cream. They claimed that the ingredients in this product offer effective results to its users.

Squalene

Smooth skin and oil supply.

Jojoba Oil

Helix Aspersa Muller 

Snails have the ability to quickly heal themselves after their skin or shells have been damaged. The Mucin from their secretions self-treats itself. The human skin also comprises of these substances that maintain the moisture within the skin and provides a natural gloss to the skin.

As the name mentioned, Ciracle Repairing Snail V3 Cream comes in a creamy texture.

The cream spreads out and glides easily on the skin without any resistance.

The product has a gentle, pleasant scent that is not too overpowering, making it a pleasure to apply on my skin. This product is very moisturising, so a tiny amount is sufficient to avoid making my face feel greasy. This product has a slightly heavier texture, and hence I would prefer to use it in the night time only. After I begin using this product, I always wake up to a smoother, well-moisturised skin in the morning. My well-moisturised skin makes it easier for my makeup to be applied without patches forming on my skin. I must say that this product works great in moisturising and reducing redness on my skin.

For wrinkles, this product managed to minimise the formation of new gentle line wrinkles but for deep wrinkles like those on my neck, it can't get rid through using this product. This product helped made my wrinkles looked less deep and obvious after usage. 

Recommended for people with 

Dull skin due to lack of moisture 

Dull skin due to stress and inconsistent life style 

Sensitive skin that is affected by minute stimulus 

The need to enhance their overall skin 

 How to Use 

 1. Spread and massage the cream after basic care 

2. Apply on the chin and on wrinkled areas on the neck

My rating: 4/5

Available at selected BHG outlets and www.ciracle.sg, retailing at 39.90SGD.

Thanks for reading.

Review: April Black Box

If you have been noticing, The Black Box has been a Ra-ra on the local media now and we see it almost everywhere (literally) in Singapore.

I received my complimentary April Black Box, so now, let's see what we have in this box. Shall we?

This is the list of items that will be randomly placed into different April Black Boxes, so it's like based on luck to see if you get anything you fancy. But the ultimate purpose of the Black Box is for consumers to trial product samples.

The items I received in my Black Box. Love those coffees!
