MegRhythm Steam Eye Mask would be the first product I would try. I actually redeemed and received this item a while back and haven try it yet! :P So this will be the first item I will try! Can't wait to try VDL Lumilayer Primer too! Heard some raves for this product and am so happy to find this in the gift box!

I will not be using POND's Men Acne Oil Control Facial Foam, this item will be passed to my brothers to use.

The item that I'm having mixed feelings for is the sanitary pad. hahas.

Sponsored Review : Mygenlife Beauty Collagen

Recently turned 25 and decide that it's really time to take good care of my skin (especially after giving birth, my skin condition changed). Skin becomes dull, slightly dry with lots of humongous pores. Obviously my usual skincare routine is not going to help with my new skin conditions.. So I thought I should try changing things from inside instead... I started taking beauty supplements.

I was on M brand collagen for a month and it worked okay, my skin condition improves a little. My only issue with that brand of collagen is that it's in powder form and I have to mix it with warm drink like hazelnut latte or Milo (tried cold drinks once and I really hate the taste). So now I'm trying out other brands to look for something suitable for me and my lifestyle.

This Christmas I am one of the lucky ones to receive a set of Mygenlife Drinks for review. Perks of being a blogger!

There are 5 different types of Mygenlife Drinks (Slimming, Detox, Beauty Collagen, Whitening and Bustful) each for different concerns and I got the Beauty Collagen Nectar. :)

Mygen Life Drinks is a brand new beauty supplement drink launching this December! Doesn't sound familiar to you? How about Ba Wang 霸王, ITOH Collagen (KEVIN老師 as its celebrity endorsement?), Royal Wind and Friven & Co? Yes, they are all under Hannah Holdings. :)

More about Beauty Collagen Nectar drink:
This product is formulated in the U.S.A and manufactured in Taiwan.
The drink uses an intensive formula to improve water binders which helps keep your skin supple, radiant and firm. Continuous replenished collagen levels + skin sufficiently hydrated = wrinkle-free, rosy and supple look. (Results may vary and if you're nursing, taking medication or have a medical condition, please consult a doctor before consuming this product).

Main Ingredients: 
Collagen ( fish, 12,000mg )
I have no idea what collagen does until recently, only knew that pig skin has it and mummy always say we have to eat it to have good skin. Now that I'm grown up enough to do my own reading up, let me try to explain in as simple terms as possible (from my understanding, could be wrong, don't take my word for it.)

Collagen is what makes our skin looking "full" thus making us look young. The good thing is our body produces collagen, however once we reach our 20s, the collagen produced by our body will drop and it continues to drop as time goes!

Green Tea
This is a rich in polyphenols that fight free radicals. The antioxidants present in Green Tea helps to slow down the aging process helping you look younger. (Literally copied from their box as I've not done much reading on Green Tea but we've all at some point read articles stating that green tea is beneficial for health right?)

Mangoesteen
“Queen of Fruits “ contains naturally occurring xanthones, antioxidants and many nutrients which are beneficial to your body and helps slow down the aging process. (ditto above : read Green Tea)

Optiberry
A unique blend of berries including blueberry, strawberry, cranberry bilberry, elderberry and raspberry to provide the maximum antioxidant for the whole body. What I know about berries? They are delicious and many describe them as Power fruit/Super fruit. When I was young I hated berries cause I always get the sour ones. Now that I'm older, I appreciate berries a lot more. Recently started taking cranberry juice for health benefits. :)

With so much collagen I'm kinda worried that it's going to have a fishy smell/taste but it's stated on the box as natural fruity flavour so I'm kinda looking forward to it.. Hope it doesn't disappoint.. :P

So here's to firm and supple skin! Cheers~

 

The drink has a sweet fruity scent which I quite like.
It feels like a thick fruit juice with a tinge of sour aftertaste. Somewhat like smooth blended berries?
I really like that it's really convenient, as in I don't have to mix it with any drinks and can just drink out of the bottle!

Mygenlife Beauty Collagen drink is available at Guardian outlets and Hannah Holding's Website at S$49.90 for a box.

Sample Siao.

These are the free samples I redeemed in the past 2 months...
I know I'm so crazy. :P
Some of them I paid for postage, some came with free postage but I think it's absolutely worth it! :D

Being a stay at home mum means I don't get to go out much to try things over the counter and having samples that I choose sent to my house, saves me time and energy~ Some of the items comes in retail sizes and it's really worth much more than the postage I paid!


Where to find a few hours writing reviews?
What I currently do is I try the product and then follow by writing a short review on SampleStore, once I've done all the items in a packet I will post the reviews here. :D Good strategy right? hahas.

There's usually 2-4 types of items in a pack. I go thru them quite fast sometimes depending on what kind of items and when can I use it.. :) Like skincare will take a while cause need to use a few times to see effect. Makeup is the easiest to review hahas but it's really rare to come across makeup samples. Hope to see more makeup samples. :p

Household stuffs are also fun for me to try because though I have been staying in my own house for a while I have not really tried different stuffs. Usually buys back the same brands as it's easier for my husband to buy them and no need to spend time thinking if this is better or that is cheaper... :)

Samples Review : Hada Labo Skincare for Sensitive Skin

Alright in October I blogged about redeeming a free set of skincare product samples.

So here's the review for these babies.

 

Starting with Hada Labo Es Makeup Remover:
First use - Used a lot just to remove full face makeup. Not sure if it's the bottle hole too small, when I pour it out there's tiny bubbles. Smell still acceptable. Need to try product again but tentatively can confirm that it's not really a "must-buy" for me..

Next, Hada Labo Es Cleansing Foam Wash:
The only issue I have with this is the smell. :( Other than that it's pretty okay. :)
It's not too drying and very easy to use as it comes out in foam so no need to lather but I really can't like a product if it doesn't smell okay to me. So probably will not purchase it.


After cleansing, next is Hada Labo Es Lotion:
Not bad. I like this even though there's a smell it's not as strong as the facial wash. Not really sticky but it's not non-stick either. Not sure if this is toner or just lotion/serum?

Our of the 4, this is my favourite: Hada Labo Es Milk:
Would most probably purchase this when my usual moisturizer runs out. Not used to the smell but I adore it's lightweight and non-sticky feel. I have combination skin so usually uses gel type moisturizer as they are not too rich. Cream type always doesn't work on me. :( This milk type is alright for me. Will consider to purchase this. :)

  

Want to know where I got this set of skincare for free? Read THIS post.

Free set of skincare products for sensitive skin.

 Recently got this set of Hada Labo skincare product for free, with free posting too! :D

Read on to find out how you can get it too! :)

SampleStore recently relaunched with a super cute packaging.

Other than looking sweet, the new packaging is a tough material which can withstand the weight of heavy samples and also not tear when comes in contact with water. :)

The previous packaging is paper material (normal envelope) so if it rains when the postman is doing their rounds, it can get wet and tear..

Anyway... Lots of people says it looks like a pack of gummies (candies) and my husband who opened the letterbox thought someone send me a present. Which is quite true because it's free so yes it's a present.. but it's a present that I choose! heh heh..

 

Nicely Bubble Wrapped! :)

Even better news.. the sample size have Increased!

It used to be just 1 sachet, now it's either in small bottles or a few sachets!

Can last for 1-2weeks! So you can really tell if the product is really working for you!

Awesome right? :D

This 4 piece set is fully sponsored!

Don't even need to pay for shipping at all!

Cleanser, Make Up Remover, Toner, Moisturizer.

The sample didn't come in English so I had to stick my own labels.. :P
