JILL STUART Floral Scented Body Mist

Posted on 28 June, 2011 by Emily

I received from HK Jill Stuart Mailing list that they will be having releasing a new limited edition Floral Scented Body Mist. This product is their limited edition product again. OMG for me because I am weak towards limited edition + Jill Stuart. I love to collect them rather than using them. I know I am very bad but till not I really can’t bear to use them… T^T

You can also spray it before the application of sun screen to lock in your skin moisture. People who is working in air-con can also use this spray. Since it is cooling, u can also spray on your body after staying under the sun for a whole day. As for those who do not like strong summer perfume, this can also act like a body fragrance. Last for not least, you can apply it on your hair as hair spray too.

*Something to mention, I think they changed a new model. I sort of welcome the change as I do not really like the previous model as I find that she look tired in the photos.

[Review] Kracie – Hadabisei Clear Lotion

Posted on 19 April, 2011 by Emily

Ever since I went to Niu er talk last year and get to know something call Clear Lotion and this is when I started to love and rely on it. I have been using that clear lotion since then and that’s the only item I cannot live without. I would admit that initially when I saw this clear lotion, I do have some negative though on this product. I feel it is a similar item from Kose which too have a clear lotion which has the same function too.

Descriptions
● Sooth your skin from UV and dry skin caused by accumulation of dead skin.
● Contains softening ingredient: W fruit acid – Includes Lemon extract, grapefruit extract that can bring radiant to your skin.
● Contains Moisturising ingredient: Glucosamine – excellent moisturising effect that smoothen out skin and cleanse your pores.
● Contains Hydrating ingredient: Green Tea Essence – prevent skin from stickiness and make your makeup last longer.
● Mildly forumlated with No fragrance, no color, no oil, no alcohol for sensitive skin

Where and How Much?
It can be found in most Guardian Store. (I have seen it at Northpoint, NEX and Paragoon) and the retail price for this product is S$23.90.

My Review
When I first used it, I was surprised as it is nothing like the Kose Clear lotion. It feel much gentler and very much like a light texture lotion. The best part is it can also exfoliate my skin gently. I do not see my skin become one shade lighter but my skin do feel brighter after I use it. At times when I am lazy, I do use this lotion as a toner too. I can lightly hydrate my skin without feeling sticky. It also leave my skin smooth after application and I love it. However, after the clear lotion, there is still a need to apply moisturizer. As for my pores, I find it clean and I do not need to use exfoliating gel like twice a week. I guess throughly exfoliating can be done every once in 2 weeks.

I added this picture to show the dirt from my skin daily.

However, I do not like their bottle. I mis-pressed it a few times and I would really hope that there is some cap over the pump to prevent possible accident. In addition, since it is mild I sometimes feel that my dirty skin is not totally cleaned. I guess it must be due to my reliance to the alcohol in the Kose Clear lotion.

I did a review video for the clear lotion too as I did not find anything at youtube while doing some research. Please forgive me for my poor English.

[NEW] Kracie 肌美精 (Hadabisei) Skincare Range

Posted on 11 April, 2011 by Emily

Goosh!~ I am late for this post. I am supposed to post it latest by yesterday. I am quite fed up with my work so I went for a short getaway at JB. I sort of gotten too tired after I come back that I fall asleep after bathing with my wet hair…

Honestly, when I was asked to review on this product, I went to google about this brand or any review on Hadabisei and there is almost not much info. Hence, I wondered how many people actually know this brand. I then decide to post a photo on my blog and facebook. One of my friends, Sheena actually guess it right. I am actually surprise to someone know this brand.

This is the first time I got an invite to review item. I know previously I also used Vichy for a month but it was for a contest last time. Eternity gave me a full size to try on for a month and write true review on the product. I actually have already tried it when I am blogging this and I would say they are better than I expected it to be. So do stay tune to my blog for more updates on this product~

Kracie is actually from Kanebo previously. In Japan, they actually manufacture a lot of products from hair product to food and also to drug store product. In Singapore, you can see Ichikami Hair Products, Epilat Hair Removal products and of course Hadabisei. (I remember seeing Navie few months back)

***+Showcasing the products+***

Kracie Hadabisei Clear Lotion and White lotion with Free cotton

Hadabisei Clear lotion – Gently remove dead skin from your skin.

Hadabisei White lotion – Enhance the brightness of your skin after usage.

***+Unbox+***

The clear lotion (on the left) comes with a pump and the white lotion (on the right) has a opening for pouring.
Something I would like to really appreciate is the free cotton pads. They are not those cheap cotton pad as they comes with 2 surface and the rough that can be used to exfoliate your skin. This will work perfect with the clear lotion. I am a believer of buying good cotton pad. Really special thanks to them~

I will be blogging clear lotion this coming Saturday and the white lotion will be the next Saturday. For the last week, I will be doing a comparison on my skin before and after the usage.
