Vichy New Aqualia Thermal Dynamic Hydration Power Serum

 Vichy is a well-known skincare brand to most of us. Vichy Products are tested to be suitable for Asian Sensitive Skin and Paraben-Free, which makes people with sensitive skin like me, happy girls to pamper our skin with! Being in the pharmacy line previously and working with the healthcare line, Vichy Laboratories Products are popularly recommended by most doctors and dermatologists in major healthcare industries (i.e skin clinics, hospitals, pharmacies).

 I was overwhelmed when Vanitytrove and Vichy by L'Oréal Singapore approached me with their latest creation - Vichy New Aqualia Thermal Dynamic Hydration Serum!

Due to my working environment and my skin nature (Dry and Sensitive), I had a hard time searching for skincare products that suit me. The sweet people over at Vichy by L'Oréal Singapore prepared a box full of wonderful goodness that suits my skin type.

 First up, the main star - Vichy New Aqualia Thermal Dynamic Hydration Serum.

It is the 1st Hydrating Power Serum containing 3 energising sugars & Vichy Thermal Spa Water to capture and retain moisture in our skin. Furthermore, it's enhanced with Dynamic Hydration technology to provide an evenly spread of the moisture in all facial zones for fresh-looking skin all day!

Vichy New Aqualia Thermal Dynamic Hydration Serum

3 Energising Sugars:

- Carrageenans: Derived form marine red algae, this active ingredient helps to repair skin's barrier function, smoothens and softens the skin.

- Aquabioryl: A patented ingredient of L'Oréal, it ensures a continuous supply of moisture to all facial zones via dynamic water diffusion.

- Hyaluronic Acid: A super efficient hydrating ingredient which replumps skin's surface by enhancing its capacity to retain water.

 It's ultra-light and fast-absorbing. 

After spreading out the serum, it actually leaves a non-greasy; non-sticky texture!

My skin feels instantly supple and  has a slight brightening glow to it :)

 The other Product that was in the package: Vichy Aqualia Thermal Dynamic Hydration Light Cream!

This is applied after the serum, to allow skin to be replenished with water and provide a fresh complexion!

The cream provides a non-greasy;non-sticky texture as well, which is lightweight for my skin:)

KEEPING OUR SKIN HYDRATED!

Step 1: 1 bottle of water right before you leave home.

The daily commute often takes away huge amounts of water from our skin, even before the day starts! Drinking water right before you leave home helps to build a water fortress which keeps your body fluids balanced. It also controls the calorie count in your body, so what's there not to love about water?

Step 2: Give your skin a 'perk-me-up'

By midday, your skin's surface is probably in dire needs of water replenishment due to exposure of air conditioning and pollution. A light spray with Vichy's Thermal Spa Water is all you need to revive the dull and dry desert. Vichy's Thermal Spa Water, extracted from Vichy Springs in France, is 100% Pure and infused with 15 rare minerals which protects your skin against free radicals, soothing and keeping it hydrated throughout the course of your busy day!

Step 3: Hydration before your good night's sleep.

We're sure you know that sufficient sleep (6-8 hours) is important. But do you know that when you sleep, and your cells renew, water is the primary ingredient that is used up in this process? Make sure your skin is prepped with Vichy Aqualia Thermal Serum which will keep all zones in the face continuously hydrated for the entire night and more!

Vichy New Aqualia Thermal Dynamic Hydration Serum (SGD$52 for 30ml) is now launched in Major Pharmacies and Retailers: Guardian, Unity, Watsons, Hospital Pharmacies, Derma Centre.

Good Luck! :)

CNY 2013

Hello Everyone! Today is 元宵节 and this day marks the last day of CNY. Hope everyone had a great CNY this year :) Due to last minute changes, I'm having my CNY in SG this year instead :) Really enjoy how families and friends forgo all commitments in life and come together, just enjoying time spent together. All the food, blessed wishes, gambling, fun and laughter..all these are the reasons why I look so forward to CNY every year. It also marks a new beginning of each year, starting afresh, anew :)

My CNY this year has been pretty busy..due to alot of school commitments. yup last semester so lets go! :)

Pre-CNY:

 Went down Fossil Service Centre at their newly located Manulife Centre, I love how I was greeted to a huge wall of fossil boxes through the decades :) its like a huge wall of art, don't you think so? :) Went there to get my Burberry watch fixed for a brand new year :) It holds special meaning cause it's my 2nd watch from my Boyf :)

Headed down to my favourite store to see if there's any last minute CNY shopping needed to be done! =p Gotta love this sweater but felt its super inappropriate for CNY and it costs a bomb for a sweater so yup nope I didn't grab it :(

Managed to squeezed in a last minute slot for doing my CNY nails :) Love the dainty ribbons my dear manicurist did for me, so feminine! ;) I know my nails are always in good hands when I'm with them :) 

Was walking around Bugis and passed by my favourite Craftholic Store. Grab these 2 little plushies home! They are the limited edition Valentine's Day Plushies! Couldn't resist bagging them home! =D 

CNY:

 Fixed my bed to usher a new year! Say hi to all my soft plushies and new bedsheets! =) Must be wondering how I sleep right? Hahah I have my ways :p

 When the clock strike 12am, its a tradition in our home to gave our dearest blessings to our parents for CNY. This year, I prayed for their health, joy and prosperity, living to a ripe old age :) In return, we were given blessings from them in forms of red packets, which represents 满满的祝福. What matters most isn't the amount, but the blessings from their heart. I love you , Mum and Dad!

So yup, here's my CNY Day 1 outfit! Pardon my sleepy face from 守岁the previous night before :) Decided to go feminine by wearing LoveBonito COVET Fairfield Frock! Decided to grab red cause I simply love how Lace and Red could match so well! Pinned up my hair to look more presentable and fuss-free! Cause we were running late! =x

 My accessories haul for Day 1! Going all Black and White with my fave MySpringFling Boy Satchel, Zara heels, MiuMiu Floral Bracelet, Mauboussin Watch and Chanel Chain :)

 Ain't the Boy Satchel pretty? It compliments almost any outfit well! :)

Day 2 went well with aunt's family dropping by and heading out thereafter to continue my CNY house visiting! Decided on OhVola Gwyneth Dress in Rose and I love the gorgeous back as well as the color of this dress! :)

Day 3 was back to studying due to hectic school schedule for exams and tests even though it was a PH still. Decided not to dampen my mood, thus I chose AmberAvenue Lace Romper in Red to be all comfy and still look like in CNY mood! I love how the lace collar and shoulders with the gorgeous bare-back design goes so well with a romper design! =D

 Day 4 is back to school and work time! Looking forward to greeting my friends well wishes in sch! Donned in AmberAvenue Lace Romper White which got me much compliments! Gorgeous design, great cutting, my most fave romper till date! :)

Day 7: 人日快乐! It was our annual house visiting to Poly Lecturer's home in Bukit Batok :) Every Year, I look forward to this day because I can get to interact with my poly mates on their life so far! So glad all of us are either in the workforce, graduating or in their university in Aussie! The laughter, fun and chit chatting are the best and time always passed by so fast! Decked in LoveBonito Dawson Skater Dress Yellow that brightens up my mood! And I finally got to carry out one of my most fave bags to date: MySpringFling Doctor Bag! It's so gorgeous and I love the Givenchy Inspired Print on the bag! Hee.

My Jewellery for CNY period! Gotta love the rings I got off Cineleisure store! Gonna hunt for more when I'm back there! =D

Day 8: Steamboat at YingTian's Place! :) 

Enjoying steamboat with dearest girls! =D and Hello to my Senior Shermaine! It's nice seeing her irl for the first time =)

 First CNY together with my ShimmeryIntimates and many more to come :) Wore out OhVola Lilya Crochet Frock in Wisteria to compliment the theme! :)

Thanks to dear Ying Tian for the surprise Tiramisu Hero for CNY just for this gathering! :) It's delicious!

On a side note, I loved all the photos we took together back at the photoshoot some time back! The photos turned out well! Thank you girls for coming into my life :) You guys have been great friends! Love u all!

 Day 10 was back to praying to 迎接财神and天公! :) A yearly tradition that needs to be passed down generations!

 Studying at my fave hangouts lately! Got hooked on to Granola with Milk too! My staple at every Studying session! =)

 Basics are the best to make me survive the hectic week of 3 exams and 1 assignment! :) Gotta love Basics from HVV, HH and MP! They are all so comfy! :)

 When our brains went dead on thursday while studying, I decided to go on shopping for awhile! Spotted this nude heels at ZARA and I'm sold! Nude checked, low heels checked, gorgeous design and cutting checked! This heels send me drooling! Hee. Was in Black Leather Shorts x White Shirt! :)

VanityTrove's March 2013! Gotta love the Burberry Body Tender Scent and Laura Mercier Compact!

 On a Side Track, I missed Boyf and I'm flying off a week to see him soon!

Ending off this entry with a random quote that I found so true..It reflects my current state now quite well. I'm just a woman in process, learning as much as I can..to be who I can be..Every lesson learnt, every experience gotten will only shape me up better, I hope..

Till then everyone, have a great 元宵with family and friends!

Cheers!

The La Mer Experience - Vanitytrove

Hello Everyone! :)
La Mer is a renowned brand that I have heard and researched about for some time. Reviews said that it actually helps our skin improve over time and the changes is justifiable. As much as I'm eager to try, the pricing range pulls me away from visiting the counters. I seek Vanitytrove for help and they did take all their subscribers suggestions to heart :)
For those who have gotten their September Trove weeks back, you would have realised there's 2 Vanitytrove Pink Carpet's Invitations to 2 different Workshops, Sally Hansen Nail Care and La Mer The New Ageless Skincare Workshop. I was thrilled to see La Mer invitation!

Just a month later, I see this!! Trule stoked, I found my dear colleague turned friend to accompany me along as we are both skincare fanatics! It's chargeable to $80 for 1 pax and $120 for 2 pax. It comes with $60 voucher redemable on their products! We didn't regret, in fact we came out learning something new :)

Oftd: LB Jamie Top x TVD Maxi x Ferragamo Jellies x CCSkye x Prada x Chanel x T&Co.

My dearest mentor at internship turned friends :) She's another keeper and thank god for her presence in life too :)



Every participant's Essential set at workshop :) The main iconic Soft Creme de La Mer was the main focus of the workshop! This is the 5th texture that La Mer came up with!

As we were taught on the proper regimen, skincare application steps and real hands on session, slides were shown for us to take notes of! I love this session cause it's held in small sessions, the presenter actually makes sure everyone dip their hands to discover the effectiveness of the products! I went with it too even though I had make up!! haha and I forgotten to bring out my makeup kit after =(
I'm glad I did hands on! It's so fun and I really learnt alot. The founder was a physicist who was badly burnt in a chemical experiment. It took him 12 years and 6000 experiments to finally came up with the iconic Creme de La Mer. It says to help heal his skin scars and the main ingredient was Sea Kelp!
Both of us agree the brand was indeed helping our skin rejuvenate and improve :) On first trial, our skin feels smoother and supple! We went home with stuff too, after much advise and discussion with the experts. They won't push u to buy stuff which is redundant to your skincare, but listens to your needs and craft out a regimen and suitable products for us to purchase and use!

Limited Edition Travel Set - Eye Concentrate, Rejuvinating Serum and Creme de La Mer

Exclusive free gifts with purchase specially for this workshop! :)
There's also free facial (U.P.$150) for those who purchase up to $700!
La Mer is known for not giving these stuff if you buy over at the counters, thus it helps all present to save alot! :)

Exclusively only to Vanitytrove, for the 1st 50 who signed up, there's a special La Mer edition of Trove for us to take home! These are the surprises that came in my trove! There's extra 2 travel size items on top of the normal door gifts for regular participants! They are really generous on the samples they give, thumbs up! :)
P/s: There's free eye therapy(U.P.$150) for every participant as well!

Thank you once again La Mer for the ultimate experience I had at this workshop and to Vanitytrove for organising this Pink Carpet Event :)
