Phytopia Slim Way Review

Hello Beautiful Friends

Phytopia is a young, innovating natural health-hacking brand that offers unique healthcare products with essential oils drawn from the organic or wild cultivated plants over the world. Phytopia's synergies will transform your daily life into a healthy lifestyle, discover the magic and enchantment of nature healers in a simple touch. Highly concentrated organic synergies that hold the secret of youth and health found in medical plants. Ingredients: Organic Carrier Oils (Olive Virgin, Sunflowers, Evening Primrose, Jojoba), and Organic Essential Oils (Juniper Berry, Grapefruit, Fennel Sweet, Lemon Green, Rosemary ct Cineole, Cypress, Michelia Alba, Geranium China) I love how organic this product is!

Phytopia Slim Way is a slimming oil that promotes healthy metabolism thanks to ingredients like grapefruit. Massaging SlimWay on skin can passively eliminate fat and excess water helping body metabolize faster, helps with weight loss thanks to its ingredients that work as an appetite suppresant which helps with weight management, cleanses & tones skin and elevates mood with energizing and revitalizing properties.

I have been using Phytopia Slim Way for 2 weeks now, every day, once in the morning and once in the evening after I take my shower, 10-20 drops applied on my stomach and I do a few minutes of massage after that. I can feel that my skin on stomach area is smoother and more hydrated. I have maintained my current weight very well even there were a few times I ate so much without exercising or dieting (I went to Bangkok for food adventure too!) but my weight remained the same. I guess Phytopia Slim Way really helped me to eliminate fat and excess water helping my body to metabolize faster. I am amazed by how I can feel less hungry after applying this oil around stomach 30 minutes before meal. It really works well as an appetite suppresant. The scent of this oil is very calming & relaxing too, it smells like Indonesian Minyak Telon (Baby Oil), super comforting! Another point I like to add is I feel less bloated in the next morning. I used to have bloatedness problem in the morning but now I'm waking up with flat stomach every morning! Yay!! I believe Phytopia Slim Way helps with my digestion.

I have almost finished a bottle and would love to purchase another bottle because this oil works and it has amazing calming scent I like. I love the fact that this oil is 100% organic with no added chemicals at all, thus I believe it's super safe for my body!

 

I received a bottle of Phytopia Slim Way as part of my sponsorship review with Beauty Keeper, a Taiwanese beauty platform that carries Phytopia Body Care Series and other awesome Taiwanese beauty products and do check them out at http://beauty-keeper.com/

Here's my super awesome goodie bag by Beauty Keeper :)

 

One of the products impressed me so much is this one. Skin Care Towel from All Belle ~ Taiwan. It has Nanofibers (250 times smaller than the human hair) to cleanse deep into pores and supposedly, it simply just used water to clean my make up. (Wet towel with water & start wiping make up off). Long story cut short, it worked like magic in removing my foundation, eyeshadow & eyeliner. Because I was wearing waterproof mascara, I just needed to add a bit of cleansing Oil and all wiped off cleanly. How to clean this towel? So easy, I use my old make up remover I'm no longer using, Clean & rinse with water, hang & dry it and this towel is clean again like new. (My eyebrows are the result of embroidery if you wonder why my eyebrows are still there lol) I love how environmental friendly this towel is, how much money I can save (no longer need to buy make up remover sheet or wet tissue) and it's so gentle & safe for my skin! (Good bye harsh cleansing chemicals) highly recommend this to ladies who want to save more $$$ and have sensitive skin. This towel is a must to have! I wear light foundation daily & I just need this towel to clean my face before I wash with Cleansing foam. So quick & easy!

Super love Phytopia Slimway! The slimming oil is designed to shape body in 2-4 weeks! When it's applied on tummy, it can work as appetite suppressant! I apply this every night before I go to bed and the scent is just really soothing ~ reminds me to baby oil (Indonesian Minyak Telon) hope to see that it really can slim down my tummy and thighs.

 

My next product I truly love from Beauty Keeper is Taiwanese Aboriginal Facial Mask. I tested on Caviar & Taro Facial Mask (for anti aging), put it on for 20 minutes before I went to bed and I was surprised to see my skin became so soft just like baby skin. This mask has unique application, step 1 is to apply Serum and step 2 is to apply mask (the mask is also already enriched with the beauty goodness, so it's very rich in texture & super moist) absolutely a facial mask I would love to use weekly to deep hydrate my dry skin!

One of the most awesome products from Beauty Keeper which I received in my Sample Store Beauty Show Goodie Bag is Destino Advanced Repairing Face Soap. It's high in antioxidant, repairs & restores skin damage. I really love this soap, it really did deep cleansing to my pores very well but it didn't make my dry skin dehydrated! After one wash, I can see that my face is actually brighter! The next morning, I woke up with baby smooth skin (after using destino soap, I put on Taiwanese Aboriginal mask)

Starsuki lipstick swatches! I'm trying out coral color on my lips (more towards soft orangey color to me) super pigmented & I love it!

Do check Beauty Keeper out at www.beauty-keeper.com because they really have super awesome beauty products!

 

 

Stay beautiful as always, love

(Sponsored Review) ACUVUE® Oasys1-Day Review and Eye Health Check by Nanyang Optical



Hello Beautiful Friends,
 
I have been wearing contact lenses as long as I can remember, from I was 19 years old to now 33 years old, that's about 14 long years. I can say I have a lot of experiences in wearing different type of contact lenses. Some brands were really comfortable and some were pain in my precious eyes. Eyes are so precious and thus choosing the right contact lens is very important as I don't want to risk my eyes having red eyes or eye infection which I did have in the past. In the past, I used to wear 30 day colored contact lenses and it was because I was too lazy to wash my contact lenses with contact lens solution so I basically just removed & dumped it into contact lens cases that's it! As a result, my eyes were burning and I was having super painful red eyes (infection) It was horrible and took me a few days to feel better!
 
So I learned from my experience and I'm glad that ACUVUE® is offering me to have my first experience at ACUVUE® Experience Centre and to have my comprehensive eye health check and lens fitting experience at the Centre. The Optical Shop I visited was Nanyang Optical at Compass One because it's the nearest shop to my house and my experience with Hui Min, The Eye Care Professional there was really excellent. Hui Min was really friendly and patient in explaining to me my eyes' health & condition as well as which ACUVUE® product is suitable for my eyes.

Nanyang Optical at Compass One

 

ACUVUE The Lens That Changes Everything

 

The first check was to check rough estimation of my power and to check cornea base curve using this white equipment.

 

 

This is how it looks like!

 

Checking in progress! Nope, no pain at all!

 

and still checking...

And then checking my power...

 

I was so sure my power has increased a lot since my last eye check up was more than 3 years ago.

And I was right hahaaa... My eye sight is getting worse.

Then proceeded with this equipment to check my cornea health using slit lamp and the result was ....... GOOD! Thankfully!

No pain at all!

 

Hui Min was really professional and made me feel super relaxed during the whole eye check process.

 

And my new power. Right: adjusted at -5.00 and Left: adjusted at -4.25. That was about -0.75 increment for each eye. I shall stop reading my phone or watching video from my iPad in the dark. My eye sight is getting worse!
 

 

I was recommended to use ACUVUE® OASYS® 1-Day because I have dry eyes and I wear contact lenses for long hours, this is why ACUVUE® OASYS® 1-Day will be the best option for me based on my lifestyle! And for those of you who are transiting into a more demanding lifestyle as first jobbers, ACUVUE® Oasys1-Day can absolutely unlock your career goals because you need to wear the most comfortable contact lens to work harder to achieve your goals and perform better especially if you are working longer hours:)

 

 WHY ACUVUE® OASYS® 1-Day with HydraLuxe?

 

 

Because consumers nowadays have more demanding lifestyle so they need a lens that can maintain peak performance throughout the day to keep up with their demanding days. It reduces frictional energy for effortless blinking, to minimize feeling of eye fatigue.

 

  

What is important in a Contact Lens?

 

Wetting Technology, Modulus, Base Curves, Infinity Edge Design, Co-Efficient of Friction, Highest UV Protection, Breathability and Ease of Handling

 

ACUVUE® OASYS® 1-Day provides:

 

1) Highest level of UV protection

2) Enhanced Moisture Network

3) Tear-like Molecules

1) Revolutionary HydraLuxe Technology: Tear-Infused Design to minimize eye fatigue

2) The Lens that has it all: unbeaten immediate & end-of-day comfort

3) Optimized eye health with highest UV protection

 

 

My Review: I was given a few sets of ACUVUE® Oasys® 1-Day to try and it's truly the most comfortable contact lenses I have ever worn in the entire 14 years of my contact lens wearing history. It's so comfortable that I feel like wearing nothing. It can last me up to 12 hours and I still feel pretty much the same like the first few hours wearing it. No irritation, no red eyes, nothing at all! It's so suitable to wear when I need to blog long hours in front of my laptop or I am in the air conditioned room that often makes my eyes feel so dry. I would highly recommend this! Plus I love the fact that the ACUVUE® OASYS® 1-Day is a daily contact lens, means I don't need to buy contact lens solution, easy to maintain and easy to bring and pack when I'm travelling! Double awesomeness!!

 

Wearing ACUVUE® OASYS® 1-Day, don't you think my eyes are glowing beautifully? :)

I used the e-voucher to purchase 1-day ACUVUE Define contact lenses with Lacreon, The New Color, Radiant Bright, 30 lenses (with UV Blocking) in a box. I have been wearing 1-day ACUVUE Define for more than 3 years and I would say ACUVUE Define is the most comfortable colored contact lenses I've ever tried. It's so comfortable that I can wear it for more than 8 hours daily and my favorite part? It makes my eyes so pretty! It makes my eyes look bigger naturally. Previously I wore ACUVUE Define in Vivid Style and it remained my favorite brown color for so long until I finished wearing it and now I'm changing to Radiant Bright. The Radiant Bright Brown Color is so beautiful!And of course, it just feels good wearing comfortable contact lenses that make me pretty :)

 

Closer look of the beautiful colored contact lenses. ACUVUE Define Radiant Bright!

 

One eye wearing and one eye not wearing. Can you see the huge difference?

 

Can you see how bright my eyes are now?

 

Remember to visit your eye care professional every six months to review your eye health progress!

Comprehensive Eye Examination (worth S$60) for contact lens wearers:

1) Personalized consultation to understand your lifestyle and vision correction needs
2) Accurate vision measurement and prescription
3) Comprehensive eye health assessment
4) Detection of any signs of UV damage
5) Advise on contact lens fitting, removal and maintenance

In conclusion, I'm really satisfied with ACUVUE® Oasys® 1-Day and 1-day ACUVUE® Define. My eyes don't feel exhausted or heavy at the end of the day and it really does keep up with my demanding lifestyle! Thank you, ACUVUE!

Sample Store Ka Bloom + Launch of Sample Store's Mobile App

Last month, on 5th of September, I was invited to Sample Store Ka Bloom + event for the launch of Sample Store's Mobile App. Sample Store is now available on mobile phone. You can get the mobile app on Apple Store or Google Play now for free. You can also download it here at http://www.samplestore.com/mobileapp

Unfortunately I couldn't attend the event due to personal matters I needed to attend on that day. I will definitely attend the event next year

I have been a big fan of Korean beauty products for more than 10 years and now thanks to Sample Store & Cathy Doll for sending me super nice Korean beauty products to try and review on my blog, my skin looks greater now! Cathy Doll is a brand from Thailand, selling Korean beauty products available at http://www.karmarts.com.sg

And here's my review:

1) Cathy Doll Water Splash Essence

This product is all the time best seller! It contains mineral water essence and glutathione to hydrate skin, instantly brighten and effectively moisturize. After putting water splash essence on my face, I feel so fresh and I am surprised with the instant brightening effect. Before VS after, you can see "after" is brighter than "before" it really works as it claims!

2) Cathy Doll Whitening Sunscreen

This is also another best seller product I like. It has highly efficient UV Protection SPF 50+ PA+++ and L-Glutathione Magic cream to brighten dull skin, moisturize dry skin, conceal spots/blemishes and it's also paraben-free, waterproof and non chalky formula. What I love from this whitening sunscreen is the cooling effect and it doesn't feel sticky at all which I like and it does have instant brightening effect as you can see from my pic. A perfect solution to look good and fresh for morning jog under hot sun in just 1 minute!

3) Cathy Doll CC Cream Speed White

The onsen mineral water technology deeply moisturizes dry skin, formulated to feel lightweight and grease free and it also contains SPF50+ PA+++ which I like. What I love from this CC cream is the lightweight effect on my face. It also brightens my face instantly. Lightweight and grease free are formulas needed for hot & humid country like Singapore where we sweat a lot more!

Can you tell my complexion looks better?

4) Cathy Doll CC Speed White Powder Pact

Less oil, lightweight, easy to spread and paraben free formula. It also has SPF40 PA+++ formula which I like. This one is my perfect quick solution when I need to rush out with my 2 kids. I just need a few applications of CC Speed White Powder Pact with lipstick and I'm done & ready to go out with good complexion! It really has immediate result to brighten my skin and maintain a smooth complexion all day long!

I'm really happy with Cathy Doll products. The packaging and overall look are really pretty, girly and attractive which I super love and seriously irresistible!

Thank you Cathy Doll for making me look good in just a few minutes time!
