Review: Spin Brush Pro Whitening from Arm and Hammer

Arms and Hammer 3/24/2013

Thanks to good karma and the good people from Arm and Hammer. I received a new toothbrush! This is non other than the amazing Spinbrush! Most of you are not unfamilar with electronic toothbrush of various brands such as Oral B, In-house brushes such as from Guardian, Watsons and even Colgate they came out with their own electronic brushes. So how will this one fare?

Lets look at it in further details before I give it a verdict.
What it says it can do:

Arm and Hammer Spinbrush introduces technology in its Spinbrush Pro-Whitening toothbrush that can give noticeably whiter teeth in 7 days! (wow!!!)

Lets take a look at the Dual Action Brush Head and Innovative whitening Bristle System.
- The circular Oscillating Head Spins back and forth to throughly clean and polish even between teeth.

-The secondary brush bristles move up and down to scour

away plaque and massage along the gumline promoting good dental hygiene.

-Together, both heads deliver up to 3,700 brush strokes per minute

cleaning up to 70% more plaque in hard-to-reach places than manual toothbrush.

Amazing stuff isn't it? Now, take a closer look at this spinbrush.

Its pretty light weight and suitable to be carried everywhere, regardless to the office or when you are traveling. Just slide on the on/off button to trigger the brush.

When the bristle colours goes off, you know its time to change it. For batteries, 2 AA sized battery is good to charge up and you just have to tilt the cover up to change them. Easy peasy? :D

Review:
Spot the difference! Spin Brush Pro Whitening does proves to whiten your teeth in one brush. I used the Arms and Hammer Whitening toothpaste (sample) with it to boost its powers even more. As you can see i am a happy gal with bright pearly whites after the brush. This is only after 1 use. I am super impressed and happy with it. Its a 5 stars toothbrush and yes its gonna follow me for sometime... cheers!

Do remember to check out the promotions exclusively at watsons now. Its retailing at $19.90, for refills, $13.90 for a pack of 2 heads. I think the prices are pretty decent for an electronic/battery operated toothbrush. This one has whitening properties too! So, you should really check it out.

Follow Arm and Hammer now. Don't foget they have on-going contest! Yes they are constantly looking out for friends of the month so if you are active, you may get a chance! Cheers!

Review: My Scheming Skin Clarifying Astringent Mask

My Scheming Mask 3/03/2013

Are you constantly suffering on blemish and oily skin like me? Dislike having puffy red skin when you wake up in the morning and seeing those annoying red spots?

Have you tried the Skin Clarifying Astringent Mask from My Scheming?

This mask promises to deeply clean and clarify pores to minimize its appearance and

prevent blemishes. Its somewhat like a medical mask (in my opinion). It also refreshes your skin to make it more even, lighter and brighter.

You can purchase it at $14.50 for a pack of 10s available at all Watsons Store! Do also check out other beauty stores like SaSa. :)

Check out the ingredient list and mask description. This mask is especially good for those with oily skin. It helps in control of oil and provide you a fresh,mild and soft skin. It effectively removes dirt, get rid of aged cuticles and enhance metabolism, in return it brings you a bright and transparent skin. It sounds like botox! (the cheaper version).

Here's me making a fool of myself with the pearl sheet which locks in all the moisture and make it easier for you to put your mask sheets on without worrying about the dirt and germs on your fingers. (You should always wash your face and hands before masking!)

See the amazing results below?

My pores are smaller, face is brighten and my acnes were reduced.
Can you see the translucent bouncy skin that I now have? It is never by chance!

This mask has a very mild medicine smell but I don't really mind because I
see the results of my face the next day. It didn't totally cleared up
immediately but after several days of use, may face turned out really well.

If you have very oil skin or perhaps its just the break-out, try
using this mask once every 2 days for a week.
It kind of work well for me. I use this mask like a treatment of blemishes when i have really bad break outs.

It will reduce the oil build up on my skin hence I see my face clearing up slowly.

Having said that, not everything that works on my skin,

will work on your skin. So use it with discretion.
Do follow my scheming mask on their facebook for all promotions.

Here is Pearly,

Signing off.

Sponsored Review: Baby like, rosy skin in a bottle - Kinohimitsu J'pan BB Drink

bird's nest with acerola cherry drink 3/03/2013

Its Kinohimitsu time! A brand that needs no further introduction in the beauty drinks! They are one of the best! This beauty drink also happens to be my all time favourite. Its so yummy and the benefits are great! Trust me! You want more of it after you've taken the first drink! You want a glowing skin? You want to be in the pink of health? Take it. :)

And how can I forget to thank my sponsors Confirm Trading for making me gorgeous?
Here is a toast to you for promoting beauty and good health! :)

Introduction:
This drink is a functional instant drink that helps restore your skin's natural glow and clarity. Yes, not just on the face, but the entire body including your back, hands and legs.
Say wow! This is a holy grail beauty drink. Didn't I mention its to bring you back to the pink of health? Drink it to believe it! Cheers to the pink of health wohooo!

If you are having the following problems then this drink is your savior!
Signs of dry skin, dull and tired looking skin, blemish, visible pores, chapped lips, yellowish complexion and flaky arms or legs.

Lets look at the ingredient list:

So you are going to ask me, what benefits does it give you?

Hydrolysed Bird’s Nest is rich in Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF), sialic acid (200 times higher than royal jelly), amino acids and minerals which are essential to promote skin cell regeneration, enhance skin healing and promote youthful-looking skin. It is produced via an enzymatic process at a small molecule size for effective and optimum absorption without using any chemicals and bleaching agents.

Chicken Cartilage (a source of hyaluronic acid, HA) keeps skin hydrated. Well-moisturised skin is radiant. HA functions as a sponge. It is located in the inner skin to attract and bind water within the cells and tissues and prevent the skin from drying out. HA also helps to maintain the balance of water and oil in the skin, helping skin to look smoother and more hydrated.

Fermented Yeast (a source of CoQ10) functions to replenish the depleted CoQ10 level in our body where CoQ10 has the ability to increase collagen and elastin production in the skin and promote skin cell turnover. It also helps to re-activate other antioxidants e.g. vitamin C and E that are crucial to healthy, glowing skin.

Acerola Cherry has 32 times greater amount of Vitamin C than in oranges. It also contains mineral salts (iron & calcium) that aid in the re-mineralisation of tired and stressed skin.

Rice Bran Ceramide has a moisture-locking effect that helps soothe acne and reduce skin inflammation.

[Info Credits: http://www.kinohimitsu.com/products/bbdrink.html#ingredients]

Usage:
Usage: 1 bottle a day, preferably before breakfast or bedtime. Shake well before drinking. Keep chilled for delicious taste.
First-time users: 1 bottle a day for 6 consecutive days.
For maintenance: 1 bottle every 3 days.
[Info credit: http://www.kinohimitsu.com/products/bbdrink.html#usage]

Price and where to purchase it:

It will cost you about $39.90 for a box of 6 bottles. (50ml each) and you can purchase it over the counter at Guardian/Watsons beauty stores. Do check out their in store promotions.

My Verdict:

I love the taste of this BB drink, and i am one who goes gaga over anything with bird nest. Although you cannot see actual pieces of bird nest in this drink nor really taste it due to the strong sweet taste of the acerola cherry. Its benefits are good. You see blemishes heals faster (yes you see them in my photo), lips more moisturised and skin less drying. It helps to give me that rosy complexion that I need. I don't have to coat my face with my BB cream now, I can use lesser of it? That is because I have my BB drink! This drink is simply delicious and awesome! You gotta try it! Head on to the nearest beauty store and grab a box now! ;D

A word of caution to all my fans, do monitor usage although there are no side effects by myself. Especially if you are pregnant or sensitive to certain ingredients in the drink its better to consult a doctor first.

This drink is also not a miracle. You have gotta continue drinking it to see its benefits.
Till then, here's Pearly signing off again!

Do remember to follow Confirm Trading at their facebook and check out their website!

Cheers! ;)

Contest Win Review: A date with DreamSkinSpa

DreamSkin 3/01/2013

I was treated to a choice of facial or massage through a facebook contest of the best wish by DreamSkinSpa. I had thus chosen the massge, though tempted with the facial too! Although I was about 15 minutes early, i was glad that my therapist was ready to receive me. Sam their marketing staff was also very friendly and ready to explain to me if i need any help or have any queries, he will be there to answer me.

Although the tampines outlet is located in a HDB area and they had very limited space to work on. I was very impressed by the room decoration. I like the way they integrate simple things together, it made me relax and ready to enjoy my complimentary massage.

There were a total about 9 rooms on the 2nd floor of this shop front as compared to the Bukit Batok Branch which as about 3 retail shop spaces. (Both my therapist and Sam kept raving about their Bukit Batok Branch), they made me so tempted to check out the place!

Other than massage, they also offer facial and slimming services. You can check out their website for their services or call them to make an appointment to understand more.

So why do we need a massage?

Full Body Massage will promote to relaxation and improved sleep, ease the symptoms of stiff, tired joints, encourage improved circulation and speeds up digestion. It will also give you a good night rest!

My massage experience with my therapist was good.

She used lavender oil for my massage rub. (Although i am not sure what kind or brand, as i wasn't shown). I was in pain everywhere because of overworking my body i think? But I tried to stay quiet the whole time. I like the way she really rubs your skin with appropriate strength, not too hard or soft but perfect for me. She was also constantly checking if her strength was good enough. She was sensitive to certain areas where you will feel more pain. Questioning you if you would usually sit by the computer and staring at the screen for long hours or wearing heels all the time.

She warns you in advance about where the pain would come from. She also explained to me that I may see some markings on my skin after the massage, this is normal and would go away after a few days. I could tell from the way she does it that she was quite experienced. I felt great after the massage as if all my muscle tensions were released.

I was imagining at the back of my mind that my husband will be screaming if he was the one lying here.

After all the massage, she followed me down where she later promoted some of their services for me at promotional prices after my casual chat with Sam about their services. No hard-selling which was good! But perhaps my therapist could explain more about their services. I was expecting more explanation then price and promotion.

Sam recommended the 3D massage for working executives which was a fusion of human and machine massage to ease muscle tensions and stress on the body. The machine will penetrate infra rays straight into your body so as to relieve the pain from your nerves.
(You may like to check it out if you feel pain in your body)

The finishing touch with a glass of warm water to end the session and a reminder to continue taking warm water to detox. How sweet! By the way, i found out that my therapist has a similar name to mine. She's Pearlyn and i am Pearly. Its so funny and such a coincidence. ;)

They partner with Meditrina listed in Cozycot, for their face and skin beauty products so you may be using their products when you patronize them.

They are also using Doctre for their facial and spa products. Heard from Sam that
many of their customers loved these.

You may also find out more about them through their website. They are currently having on going promotions, contest and home use face sponge giveaway (Guess what? they forgotten to give me mine, perhaps it was done on purpose so I would go back again. Haha. ). Anyway... start following them if you haven't. You may be the next lucky winner!

By the way i happen to see this promotion on their facebook. I think its really worth going for and you may just want to give them a call! I think it'll be totally worth it! I am so tempted to give it a try! Meanwhile, I hope to hear some good news from them soon! :)
