Coenzyme q10 Essence Mask

ABBEY: The persuasion of wearing this mask took almost two weeks. Not that I don't want it but I have to give medication first on my skin irritation. After it's been healed, Wilma applied it me. It is cold and refreshing. As the solution in the mask works I felt prickling effect on my face. The mask is to be worn for 20 minutes. After the application my skin is soft and rejuvenated. It is a good experience.

WILL: Actually I do not believe on masks to soothen people's skin. Maybe because I don't get the result that I want to have because I do this masking once every quarter, or should I say, once I get a facial cleaning at Let's face it. Hehe.
      Now, here in Sinagpore, I do not go for some facial cleaning so what will you expect? No masks at all.
But the very friendly people on Facebook send us some of their facial masks to try. Here, my hubby and I got to try this one.
      Mask is not that dripping wet and can apply without messing up with your clothes. :) While on my face, I feel a stingy feel. Maybe the masks starts to penetrate my pores.
      After peeling it off, it leaves a nice feelling. Skin is so soft but hey when I woke up in the morning, pimples starts to get out. I do not fret on this, because this is a great sign for me that the masks do their job. It penetrates in my pores and now taking out all the dirt inside. :) 

Close Up Fire-Freeze

ABBEY: What can I say? So far this is the best Close-Up product that I used. I saw their advertisement when we came back to Philippines and decided to give it a try. 

When I started to use it, it's as if I'm gargling with mouthwash while brushing. The product has intense coolness as you brush and you can feel the fire after.

Try it and experience the fire-freeze.

WILL: Close Up Philippines is making a noise, why? They had given away Blackberry cellphones for those who can creatively describe their new product... The "Fire-Freeze"! Hmmm, and I get curious about it so last December, this toothpaste was on my grocery list. 
      I don't like it, why? It produces a lot of bubbles and made me almost throw up every time I use it. So I stopped. Maybe others want this kind toothpaste. So I went back to my old brand. 

Sunplay Superblock SPF 130PA+++

ABBEY:
We got the sample in time for the airshow. A good opportunity to put the product to the test. Upon application I my skin became dry but I felt I'm really protected under the sun. I enjoyed the show and the UV ray attacks is the least of my worries.

WILL: Sunplay send Abbey a sample of their product. We got it from the Sunplay Facebook fanpage. :)Abbey received a sample before the Singapore Airshow, just in time to check the out this sunscreen with that claims that they have the highest SPF content.
      Ok then, we applied after shower then we travelled around 40 minutes to Airshow. In that 40 minutes, maybe that is enough for it to settle on our skin.
      Good thing, we never get burnt. No sunburn and do not leave our face white as snow. Hehe. But on this, while wearing this sunscreen, it really made me feel my skin is so dry. Anyway, after taking a bath, dryness is gone.
      Thanks Sunplay for protecting us at Singapore Airshow. :) 

Guardian Mouthwash Peppermint with TTO

ABBEY: We got a lot of good products from Guardian and one of them is this mouthwash. This products keeps my breath fresh longer and had a nice taste, not that I drink it. Its alternative when our mouthwash from Pinas is depleted.

WILL: Really want to congratulate guardian for this great idea for incorporating tea tree oil with their mouthwash. 

      Tea tree oil is well know for its antiseptic and anti-bacterial feature. Hehe. When using this mouthwash, the freshness is very admirable and it somewhat leaves my teeth and mouth the feeling of moisturized. There is no stingy thingy on this. Love it a lot! We bought this not more than $6 at Guardian Suntec City Branch. :)

Complete Multi-Purpose Solution

ABBEY: This is better amongst the contact lens solutions I had in the past. It cleans the lenses thoroughly and store them with minimal protein build-up. Rub the contacts with it for 10 seconds and you can feel that its like new again. Unlike with other solutions, the lens are still "slimy" even though you clean it with the recommended method. We got two large bottles for less than 40sgd. Along with it is travel bottle for on-the-go usage.

WILL: Hayyyy sign of ageing. :'(
      I cannot watch a tv without glasses or contacts lenses, poor me :( We try to use this solution. We got this 3 bottles for the price of $27. This seems cleaned the contact lenses a lot. There is no moisturized feeling inside my eyes. Nice one, but I don't know because i got this feeling that this solution is one of reason that gives me a dry eyes. I don't know, maybe I should try another brand for comparison. 

Sephora Douche Wash

ABBEY: Finally I got hold of this product :) The body wash was a bit more expensive than the ones we've tried. The price doesn't come to the picture when I used it the first time. I got the mint one and the smell is good. It leaves your skin with right moisture and clean. It is also mild and gentle to the body. A good buy. Using the chocolate now :)

WILL: I am not into cream wash or douche body wash, why? It is so sticky that it gave me an icky feeling.
      So when Sephora had their 1-for-1 promo for their body wash, we bought this mainly for abbey to use.
      Abbey asked me to try it first before complaining. Haha! So I gave it a shot! The result? Excellent! A small portion can bubble up my whole body! Hmmm, but chocolate douche cream is better, it seems that I am a walking chocolate. Haha! Delicious me! 

Nivea Visage - Deep Pore Control Toner

ABBEY: After I wash my face with whitening soap my wife would then apply this toner on me. Vain? Yes, a little. I'm glad that the toner is not harsh on the skin. It tightens the pores and make you look good after every application.

WILL: My let's face it toner was all up and cannot bear this rough edges on my face and I am so afraid to try something new for my face.  Abbey pushed me to buy this toner while waiting for my toner coming all the way from Philippines. Hehe. I am quite hesitant but I have no choice, my only prayer is there will be no bad reactions that may came out on mu face.
      So i use this toner and STILL using it. Hehe. No allergies, no pimples or any blackhead prone face. :) thanks Nivea! Love this! We bought this not more than $5.

Amethystory - Mineral Aqua Gel

ABBEY:  I've tried facial soaps and scrubs. This face product is different; it peels. Don't wash your face before application. Massage it until the serum sits in and the peeling begins. Rinse and then pat the face dry. I had soft and moisturized skin after applying it and a sense of cleanliness. I felt I had an instant face lift :)

WILL: Ginvera people is very generous giving some samples of Amethystory for the people who are so curious to try this mineral gel facial wash. 

      I use their facial wash as instructed, dry hands and dry face, put the gel on the face and start scrubbing away the dirt and dry skin. Of course there are some skin like that came out on my face. Hehe. Dead skin or "libag" as we called it in Filipino. Haha. Then I washed it away and astonished, it leaves a moisturized and supple feel face! 

     To prove that me and abbey really like the outcome, Abbey asked me to buy for him. Hehe. Vanity is now kicking in to my husband, but he worth it! Guys also need those facial cares ;) 

Holland & Barrett Vitamins

ABBEY:  At last we found an alternative shop to buy our supplements. We always buy at their branch at VivoCity Mall as it is convenient for us. 

The sales associates can clearly discuss to us the effects of the vitamins and sometimes make suggestion on which supplements to try. We got Vitamin C, Flaxseed oil, multivitamins etc. 

In here also we buy the supplements for our parents. So far we experience no side effects from them. 

WILL: We are always seeing Holland & Barrett almost everywhere here in Singapore. We bought out very first bottles at VivoCity branch. This is an alternative to our GNC vitamins. 

Holland & Barrett is a lot cheaper than other brands and a trusted company all over the world.  We do hope that this pills can help our body to energize, be productive and overpower the bacteria that may costs sickness. 

Guardian Exfoliating Bath Scrub

ABBEY: I like using this body scrub during my weekends. It has a very good smell and you will feel relaxed and refreshed after bathing. It leaves the skin exfoliated also. We got this product at a discounted price. Its good to pamper yourself after a week's work.

WILL: We got these on sale for $2 each. Since we do not usually go to spa for some scrubs, we bought this and decided to do it on ourselves. 

      It really exfoliates our skin, we feel the smooth and silky skin after wash. Try this lovable product. ;) 

Dulcofibre

ABBEY: This sample was given to us when we purchased a product from Guardian. I am aware of this fibre-rich supplements because they were already being sold back in Philippines but I haven't tried any. 

A sachet should be mixed in a glass of water. It has a faint citrus flavor. Upon intake, you should drink ample amount of water throughout the day to obtain maximum effect. The result is good for me, I became a "floater" during that period.

WILL: As other vitamins, we also need a daily supply of fiber. You can take Dulcofibre once or twice a day. We took this lovable mandarin taste drink before we took our breakfast.
      Soluble fibre is a really must for every individual. This helps the body to throw away the toxins that causes diseases. 
      Wait no more, buy Dulcofibre now. 

Ginvera - Green Tea Aqua Whitening Cream with Oil Control

ABBEY: Our face reacts immediately if we apply creams or other beauty regimens on it. For me rashes will occur. That's why I was hesitant when Ginvera was applied to me. I was waiting for itching but it didn't came. The cream is cold upon applying and the smell is good. It leaves a soft and moisturized skin. And the bonus; your wife will  tell you that you are handsome every morning :)

WILL: Abbey had this very dry cheeks last week and I am so freaking anxious about it. I immediately asked him to stop to use his facial wash.

      Every evening after his clean-up, I applied to him this Ginvera Green Tea Whitening Cream. Religiously using this make our face moisturized and as I observed it lessens the oils on our face. 

      We also love too. Thanks Ginvera. 

Shu Uemura Cleansing Oils

ABBEY: We got 4 sample sachets each of these cleansing oils. Upon availing the samples the sales associate will ask for your face skin type. I was given the sample for oily ones :) During our clean up, we opened one sachet and applied the oil as per the instructions. It has a nice scent and you will not feel any greasiness after rinsing; leaving your skin smooth and soft. This maybe the best cleanser that I've tried.

WILL: We registered then we get their samples. I forgot to get the name of the very accommodating personnel that time, they ask me few questions first and check our skin before they gave us the suitable oils for us. 
      She gave me the brightening cleansing oils and high performance balancing cleansing oils.. for my husband, she gave four sets cleansing beauty oil (anti-oxidant). 
      The instruction is to put it on a dry face with dry hands. Okay. After that date we had, I went to our bathroom to remove my make-up.
      In my head, "Hmp! This oils will just worsen the removal of my make up, specially on my eye area. Just like other unmasking products, tints of my liquid eyeliner will be all over my face". 
      As I open the sachet with violet colored bottle, I was surprised to found out the very soothing aroma. It made me feel that I am in a spa. ;) Very relaxing! I pour some oils on my dry hands and put it immediately on forehead then on my eyes. All I can is "wow". The make up just seems melted away and I can't see and residue of it. It just make me feel that I never put any make-up on. ;) 
      Abbey love it too. He have a very sensitive skin, but this oil dont give him any allergic reaction. After using it, he blurted out. "We will definitely buy this".
      Thanks Shu Uemura. Perfect! When they posted a contest to bring all our toughest and hardest to remove make up, haha! I passed up the challenge, I know I will lose that battle. Hehe!

The Body Shop Sale

ABBEY: It's the 2nd time we went for this sale. This time its for our gifts for our loved ones back in PH. Body wash, lotions, butter, creams, fragrances and accessories are all over the place. You can get 2 of a kind for 12 or 16sgd. Its good they having this kind of sale. Lesson? Come in pair; one is to queue for cashier and the other to shop. That's how the customers patronize this wellness shop.

WILL: As I said, I am member of this very lovely shop. So, I constantly receives mails and sms from them. When I read their text message, idea ran so fast in my head. Since my sister and in-laws will be going here for 3-day vacation this is a good idea for pasalubongs. Hehe. 

Every ladies go gaga! Every Body Shop marked down the prices. Oh, this is not my first time with this. Hehe. Love Body Shop products and advocacies! Very worthy to support them. 

Pearlie White - Fluorinze Mouthwash

ABBEY: Our mouthwash ran out and went to a wellness shop to buy a new one. We got Pearlie white mouthwash for a change.

We tried it and its good. Had a fresh breath for a longer time.

WILL: Bago maubos ang Swish, we went to Watsons and saw this package of mouthwash worth almost 9$. Pearlie White leaves no harsh sensation after the gargle. Oh, some mouthwash do not have a flouride content, so if you want some flouride with your moutwash, try this. Nice grab baby. 

Nelia's Salon Spa

Abbey:
Ever wonder who did my hair in preparation for our wedding? Its Nelia's. I told the hair stylist to give me a good haircut so I'm handsome for our BIG day. He never failed me :). The pictures show. Haircut costs 15sgd plus the stories and conversation with your fellow Pinoys. They also offer manicure, pedicure, hair and foot spa. The shop is located at 4th floor of Lucky Plaza.

WILL: Disappointment really hits me when i went to Mary Chia. Di kinalkal ang in-grown ko. Hmp! I am a kind of girl, na di ko feel na nalilinis ang toe nails hanggat di sila dumudugo. Hehe. So to satisfy and mawala na ang masakit na in-grown, we went to Lucky Plaza. :) 

      There, natatawa sila sa akin kasi feeling nila masakit na ang gngawa nila para sa akin pero ako ayun, walang reaction. Haha. While they do my nails Abbey is in line for a haircut. 
      Pedicure (Fil Style) worth us 25$. Ang mahal pero worthy naman. Ang gaan ng feeling. :) 

Swish Mouthwash

ABBEY:

"Switch to Swish" - that's what Mike Enriquez, a Filipino broadcaster, always advertise in his morning radio show. He's saying that Swish doesn't have any alcohol content. When we got back from PH, we brought a bottle of this mouthwash and tried it. Yes, it doesn't have any alcohol which gives you the burning sensation when you gargle. From what I experience, it also keeps my breath fresh longer than with the other mouthwash.

WILL: Sabi nga nila "Switch to SWISH", so we give it a shot. 
Right! Because there is ni alcohol content, there a no stinging sensation and no after taste of it.
      Our breath? Nicer than ever, kahit one hour mong di buka ang bibig mo, di p dn bad breath. Hehe. This is ready to use, no need to add water kaya medyo magastos nga lng. Bottle of 200ml costs Php150. 

Dettol Body Wash

Abbey:

I came to know Dettol as it the handwash brand we use at the office. The handwash promises to give you protection against common household bacteria and germs. The smell after handwashing is also good.

When I saw the body wash on the store, I told Wilma if we can try it given my testimony about the hand wash.

I wasn't wrong. The body wash works well and gave me a refreshing feeling after bath.

WILL: Dettol is the brand I saw use to clean the bathroom. Kaya I am pretty hesitant to use their new released bath soap. I am thinking that it may be to harsh with our skin.
      But wait, I am wrong! It is very delicate to the skin, refreshing and feels we were totally cleaned up. 
      This Dettol costs me 8S$.

Johnson's Baby Milk Bath

Abbey:

I thought baby milk baths are only for babies. Wrong. This product is also for adults.

What good about this is its not having a strong scent. A neutral aroma that will make you feel relaxed. Moisturizer is also included; leaving a soft skin after bath. Try this to give your skin a refreshing treat.

WILL: Thanks to my ate sol, she sponsored all my necessities when she started to work and this baby soap is included to my monthly supplies. :)

      Using this on daily basis, you can compare your skin using the bar soap. Well, my skin became softer and moisturized. Love the smell, as if it tells you that you are still a baby :) 

Cetaphil - Every Age. Every Stage. Every Day.

ABBEY:  Wilma told me that we will have a sample Cetaphil facial cream to be tested. At the back of my mind I'm thinking that the product will be good. I first used Cetaphil products as recommended by my dermatologist for my allergy. They worked great. After washing my face, my wife gently applied the cream. Its good. No odor and my skin adopted to it as well.

WILL: 

      Thank you Cetaphil for sending us a trial pack. Anyway, back in Philippines Cetaphil was used by my niece and nephews for their daily bath so I am quite happy that they send us the trial pack. 

      My hubby's skin is very sensitive. We applied it on our face, so lucky that it doesn't produce any irritations. Truly, cetaphil never broke our trust with them  :)
