SK-II Christmas Sets 2012

An exclusive ROCHAS & SK-II collaboration to add a festive twist to the classic Facial Treatment Essence bottle. In addition to the luxury brand's famous lace pattern, this limited edition bottle is also adorned with festive elements like soft frosted glass and red and silver tones. Its the perfect Christmas gift and an instant icon of both beauty and skincare.

I love shopping and stocking up on my favorite beauty products during Christmas time as there are always lovely Christmas sets on sales at my favorite beauty brands like SK-II, Shiseido, Clarins, Fancl and Clinique etc. For fellow SK-II users, Christmas is the perfect time to stock up on your favorite SK-II products as each festive sets contains a whole regimen and is beautifully packaged and ready to be placed under the tree and presented to your love ones or for yourself ;) 

I love SK-II Christmas sets as it always come with really useful travel sized products and my favorite masks at no extra cost. My favorite set this year is the Revival set and hubby has generously gifted me the Revival set as Christmas gift :) This is my third SK-II Christmas sets from hubby since i started using SK-II products and he does not even have to ask me what gift i hope to receive for Christmas ;)

My SK-II Christmas Revival Set :)

The Revival set contains the new stempower which replaces my favorite skin signature moisturizer which i'm using and is really effective in helping my skin to stay firm and wrinkle free. I'm currently using my last bottle of skin signature and can't wait to try out stempower which contains even more powerful skincare ingredients than skin signature and users supposedly observed even better results after usage.

I strongly encourage fellow SK-II users to try out SK-II's latest skin analysis using its Magic Ring which is a skin imaging unit available at selected SK-II counters when you are purchasing your preferred Christmas set as the skin test will help you gain a better understanding of your skin condition. 

The Magic Ring Skin check helps to determine the age of your skin by measuring the angle of fine lines and charting the degree of incline. The Magic Ring also measures Texture Refinement, Radiance Enhancement, Spots Control, Firmness and Wrinkle Resilience, giving you an intimate look at the 5 dimensions of your skin. 

I gave it a try last month at Metro Woodlands and will be sharing my experience soon. You can check out more lovely SK-II festive sets below and get more information from their Facebook page.

Shiseido White Lucent Anti Dark Circles Eye Cream Set @ Tangs Orchard

I did a review of Shiseido White Lucent Anti Dark Circles Eye Cream previously  in May 2012 and have been recommending the product to my friends as it is my top favorite eye cream :) I have finished a bottle and finds that it really helps to keep my eye areas well hydrated. I also love its lightweight texture and light flora scent. For those who have missed the review do check it out :) 

I have been wanting to repurchase the product and could not resist getting the eye cream set while i was at Tangs Orchard with a friend last week as the set comes with several travel sized products. The beauty consultant informed us that the set is exclusive to Tangs Orchard and also reassured me that Shiseido White Lucent products are safe for pregnant women and my friend also ended up getting a set although she was intending to purchase only Shiseido 140th Anniversary Inspiration Set. We paid S$80 for the set which is the price of the full size eye cream and the free travel sized products in the set consist of the Brightening Cleansing Foam w 50ml, Brightening Balancing Softener Enriched w 25ml, Brightening Moisturizing Emulsion w 15 ml and Intensive Brightening Mask 1 pc. For those who have been wanting to try out the eye cream, you can consider getting the set which is a really good deal ;)

Lovely Early Christmas Gifts Received From My Loved Ones :)

My top favorite gift every Christmas is the SK-II Christmas Set from dear hubby :) He got it for me during the recent Metro sales and do look out for a more detailed post soon.

This is the most perfect gift for a pregnant woman and is also highly recommended by Clarins for preventing the dreadful stretch marks :) I was really happy to receive 2 bottles from my loved ones.

I have been using this popular stretch mark oil from Clarins daily and it does help to keep my expanding tummy area well moisturized :)

Crabtree and Evelyn is one of my favorite hand cream brands and i love using its flora scented hand cream. I was really happy to receive this deluxe hand therapy sampler set!

Review Of Hada Labo Arbutin Whitening Lotion & Free 20ml Travel Size Sample Redemption

I received Hada Labo Arbutin Whitening Lotion a week ago for review and a big thanks to Elfaine and Hada Labo for sending me their popular whitening lotion to try and review :) I have friends who are loyal users of Hada Labo's signature product - Super Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Lotion and i have been wanting to give its products a try. I received my sponsored product in a lovely packaging  and it really feels like receiving an early Christmas gift ;)

The Hada Labo Arbutin Whitening Lotion is made in Japan and this whitening cum hydrating toner combats and prevents dark spots caused by UV exposure for a smooth and clear skin. Hada Labo Arbutin Whitening Range consist of 4 products - Arbutin Whitening Lotion, Arbutin Whitening Essence, Arbutin Whitening Milk and Arbutin Whitening Mask which gives users three benefits in one step. With Arbutin and Vitamin C along with Hyaluronic Acid, Hada Labo's Whitening Range allows users to gain fairer, moist and bright skin. Along with Hylauronic Acid, the lotion locks in moisture for the skin to reach its optimal radiance and translucence.

This product review offer came at a right time as I have been looking for a good quality hydrating toner since pregnancy hormones have been wreaking havoc on my skin at times and i feel it could benefit from the use of a hydrating and whitening toner. I have been using the Hada Labo lotion twice a day after cleansing my face and love its feel on my skin. I only need to use 2-3  drops for my face and neck and the lotion absorbs easily into my skin after some light patting using my hands. I love the light watery texture of the product and it does not make my skin feel sticky or oily. My skin feels smooth and hydrated and the lotion does not irritate my skin.

I feel that this product is really value for money (retails at S$22.90) for such a big bottle (170 ml) which should be able to last me about 3 months. I also like its simple and hygienic packaging. I have not seen any whitening effect yet but it could be because i'm already very fair and can't get any fairer ;) hehe but my skin does feel firmer and supple and i hope i will see more radiant and healthy looking skin with continuous usage. 

I highly encourage interested readers to redeem a FREE 20ml travel size bottle of Hada Labo Arbutin Whitening Lotion now at their facebook page to try out for yourself :) Thanks for reading and have a great week ahead!
