Travel Essentials: For Bali

Whenever I travel, I will always have a Travel Must-have kit with products that I will use during the trip.

What I put inside this kit depends on... well~ the location!
This time round, I went to a tropical location with lots of sun and waves to surf~
BALI

Mentally, I was prepared to be exposed to the sun and I knew that the chances of me getting a tan is really high.

However, to be honest, being tanned is the last thing I really want! Hahaha~ From experience, it will take me forever to lose my tan once I am brown!

So I packed my luggage with things to help me to maintain my colour the best that I could and to prevent myself from getting burnt!

I present you
My Bali Travel Essentials!

|After Sun Care Product|
BLACK PAINT Rose Oil Water

I didn't feel any sunburn during my time spent in Bali but I still pamper my skin with a little tender loving care with BLACK PAINT Rose Oil Water as part of my skin care regime.

Rose Water not only has the ability to prevent sunburn but is also has anti-inflammatory properties and helps cleaning up the clogged pores, of oil and dirt!

Mosquitoes Bite Care
Blissoma CHAMO-MINT THERAPY Stress Relief Serum

I cant stop raving just how awesome this serum is!
Intended as a stress reliever, 
I found another use for it:

Anti-itch serum

Works wonders at reliving the itchiness from pesty mosquitoes' bites!
And if you know me well enough,
I am like a Free-For-All/Open Buffet for mosquitoes.

Sad but true.
But with this roll-on serum,
I stop scratching at the bites within 2 minutes max!

Makeup
Star Lash PERFECT TOUCH EYELINER
(Rich Black Waterproof)

To be honest, I didnt wear any makeup most of the time throughout the trip~
I used mostly BB or CC cream and that's it.
But on occasion when I wanted a little more definition, 
I used this eyeliner!
Love that it is waterproof (I need my liners to be lasting) and the tip of it!
It's brush type so it gentle to the lids but really awesome for creating sleek lines~

Will be posting a review on it soon!
Keep an eye out for that :)

And that's pretty much it for my Bali Travel Essentials!
I hoped you found this post interesting & make use of my special promotions!

Until then!~

Blissoma Solutions: Refine Clay Renewal Mask [Sponsored Review]

Hi everyone! I finally have some time to spend on my blog!

So most of you may now know, I have been pretty busy with Miss Singapore Global!

Just completed a few photo shoots and video interviews the past weeks, and with all the time spent with thick makeup, my sensitive skin has suffered :(


I managed to keep the worse from happening with facials (thank my godma) and with (a new favourite) Blissoma Solutions Smooth A+ Serum! And yes, after the sample, I got it in full size!
Read my previous review on the serum here!

Thank you Charis Naturals!

And now, I have another review to share:
 Blissoma Solutions Refine Clay Renewal Mask!



Clogged pores are one of the prime reasons for acne flareups, and REFINE keeps pores open. Willowbark gently dissolves away dead skin cells even without scrubbing, which can aggravate very sensitive skin. The clays and minerals soften pores and encourage them to detox properly. The Zinc content in REFINE also manages bacteria on the surface of the skin and topically soothes. 
This Rhassoul clay based mask also has beneficial ingredients added into it like organic Licorice to lighten sun damage, Willowbark to exfoliate, and a bevy of antibacterial and anti-inflammatory herbs to soothe and prevent flareups. Unrefined Oils of organic Cranberry seed and organic Red Raspberry straight from pressing offer nourishment and natural source Vitamin E.





To Use:
Wash skin with mild soap or crème cleanser. Apply a consistent layer of clay to face and neck or to troubled spots as needed. Wait 15 minutes or until dry. Remove with warm water and gently pat dry. Tone and moisturize. For most skin types use once weekly.

You can dot it on a blemish and leave it on overnight too.


Verdict


Texture: Almost liquid consistency, grainy based mask

Ingredients: i
nfusion of Foeniculum vulgare* (fennel), Stellaria media* (chickweed), Lavandula angustifolia* (lavender), Rosa damascena* (roses), Porphyra umbilicalis* (nori seaweed), Ruscus aculeatus* (butcher’s broom), Rhassoul Clay, Apium graveolens (celery) Juice*, Cocos nucifera (coconut) Oil*, Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate, Zinc Oxide*, Cannabis sativa* (hemp) Oil*, Vaccinium macropacrpon (cranberry) Seed Oil*, Rubus ideaus (red raspberry) Seed Oil*, Extracts of Glycyrrhiza glabra* (licorice), Symphytum officinale* (comfrey), and Salix alba* (willowbark), Populus Tremuloides (Aspen) Bark Extract, Gluconolactone, Cetearyl Alcohol and Cetearyl Glucoside, Extracts of Olea europaea* (olive leaf), Echinacea purpurea*, and Caldendula officinalis*, Essential Oils of Litsea cubeba, Commiphora myrrha, Pelargonium roseum (rose geranium), Citrus reticulata (mandarin), Lavandula angustifolia, Pogostemon cablin (patchouli), Coriandrum sativum (coriander), Cedrus atlantica (cedarwood), Grain Alcohol*, Rosemary Oleoresin Extract citral**, xanthan gum, limonene**, citronellol**, geraniol**, linalool***

Benefits: Helps 
to decongest, detoxify and brighten your skin; effective for aging, troubled, acne prone  lackluster, ashy, and flaky skin.

Smell: Scent of European herbs but the scent of lavender and 
rose geranium stood out most for me

Cost: $45 

Product Rating: 9/10

Having a combination skin that leans towards the oily side, I am a fan of clay based mask as I find them really effective in drawing out trapped sebum from my pores.I was surprised to find that even though this is a clay based mask, it doesnt leave my face feeling super tight or constricted as it dries up. And after washing it off, it leaves my face feeling soft, clean and naturally scented! As for the sensitivity side of my skin, no irritation or any new breakout after usage, in fact, it does help improve my overall skin condition with the use of Smooth A+ Serum!

 The only concern I would like to bring up to users, is to take note during application as the mask comes in a container. So wash your hands properly or use a spatula to scoop the product out to limit contamination~

Other than that, I have no complains and am very satisfied with it! 

If you are looking for a mask, why not give this a try!

Blissoma Solutions: Antistress Serum Roll On/Rooibos Rose Moisture Facial Cleansing Bar/ SMOOTH, A+ SERUM [Sponsored Review]

After my experience and review on Athenia's Green Tea Scrub from Charis Naturals, I now bring you another interesting range of products from Blissoma Solutions.

"Like" Charis Naturals Facebook page or visit website to be in the loop!

Introducing,
Blissoma SOLUTIONS natural skin care that is an Award-Winning collection.



Their ingredients are based in the science of our skin and the unique biochemical reactions that make up our body. Their entire formulas are functional. Each ingredient contributes to the total effect of the product.

Life is dynamic and so is your skin. Our skin care collection respects that principle and is built on the same living energy. We gently encourage your daily rhythms of regeneration. All of our products enhance your skin's ability to protect and heal on its own. We feed rather than force, inspire instead of irritate.

~~~

The first product that I will review is the Antistress Serum Roll On:






95% Organic - 100% Natural


This handy little roll-on just might be your new favorite coping mechanism. If strain and pain are getting you down our Stress Relief Serum can help. It is a cooling, concentrated massage oil of true medicinal quality but without the clinical smell. Pleasing aromas of organic peppermint essential oil, organic lavender, organic ginger and chamomile CO2 extract create a blend that cools you off and calms you down.


And with a recipe that is over 95% organic, and 100% natural there is no doubt that this is good for you through and through. Our choice of ingredients is of exceptional quality. Our base is an herb infusion of chamomile and lemon balm in organic sunflower oil. 


To Use:

Apply to shoulders, back of the neck, temples, and forehead to treat headaches, mental fatigue, and nervous tension. Massage into muscles to release tightness. Avoid eye area. We have found this product useful before bed, during migraines, or just during a long day at work.

Verdict

Texture: A light consistency of oil; cooling, tingling effect on the skin

Ingredients: Organic Jojoba Oil, Infusion of Organic Lemon Balm and Organic Chamomile in Organic Sunflower Oil, Organic Hemp Seed Oil, Organic Coconut Oil, Organic Essential Oils of Peppermint and Lavender, Chamomile CO2 Extract, Chamomile Essential Oil, Organic Ginger Essential Oil, Tocopherol (Vitamin E) and Rosemary Extract

Benefits: Calming and anti-inflammatory effects; anti-nausea benefits; refreshes the mind and body

Smell: Scent of chamomile & peppermint

Cost: $18 

Product Rating: 9/10

I find that this product really does help to calm me down and help me sleep better. I like that despite this product being made of oil, it doesnt feel greasy at all! In our local climate, I find this product useful for a quick refresher when I dab it on my neck and temples due to its crisp calming scent and the cooling sensation.

The only drawback of this product is that, perhaps due to its light consistency, the product will leak if it is not upright. So, my advice would be to store it standing up and be mindful when placed in bags!

Edited!!!

Super effective at getting rid of itchiness that usually accompanies mosquito bites! I have been busy spending time with students at nature trails the past few weeks and ended up feeding the little suckers. It was sooooo itchy, I have the scars to tell the tale and decided to use on the bites (YES! I was that desperate). In less than 3 minutes, the itch was gone and now, I swear by this.

Edited Product Rating: 9.5/10

The second product is Rooibos Rose Moisture Facial Cleansing Bar.








100% Vegan - 100% Natural

The oils used aren't the only things working hard for you either, with an intensive infusion of Organic Rooibos and Rhodiola, this soap brightens skin's complexion and give you an overall healthy glow.

Their facial bars are no average soaps. Most bargain body soaps you'll find on the shelf at the store are totally unsuitable for use on delicate facial skin as they contain only the inexpensive and more aggressive cleansing oils like Palm Kernal and Coconut, which generate a lot of lather but can leave skin feeling dry and tight when not blended properly with other ingredients. Their bar is carefully balanced with richer oils like Organic Sunflower seed oil, a hefty helping of Organic Shea Butter, Organic Castor oil, and topped off with exquisite Organic Pomegranate oil.

This soap is perfect for facial washing but you can also use this bar for the rest of your body, especially if you have extra sensitive skin, patchy skin or roughness. They've been told by enthusiastic men that their blend makes the ideal shaving bar as well. Your skin will be left soft, silky, touchable, and healthy.

To Use:

Moisten face and cleansing bar. Massage on face gently to remove daily impurities. Remove with warm water and pat dry. Tone and moisturize.

Verdict

Texture: Saturated with beneficial oil; creates soft velvety lather; leaves skin being well balanced 

Ingredients: Sodium Olivate*, Infusion of Rhodiola rosea* and Aspalathus linearis* (rooibos), Sodium Cocoate*, Sodium Sunflower Seedate*, Sodium Shea Butterate*, Sodium Palm Kernalate*, Sodium Castorate*, (natural saponified oils of organic olive, coconut, sunflower, shea butter, palm kernal, and castor with retained glycerin), Punica granatum (pomegranate) Seed Oil*, Essential oils of Citrus reticulata (mandarin), Pelargonium graveolens (geranium), and Pelargonium roseum (rose geranium), Tocopherol (vitamin E), Titanium Dioxide and Ultramarine Pink (natural mineral pigments), Aspalathus linearis* (rooibos) tea, citronellol**, geraniol**, linalool**, limonene** *from Certified Organic Agriculture **natural components of essential oils

Benefits: gentle on skin; brings elasticity and youthful appearance back to the skin;contains antioxidants

Smell: Light natural floral scent

Cost: $25

Product Rating: 6/10

Personally, I am not a big fan of soap bar because I find it a hassle to use; slipping out from my grip, sloppy gunk as the soap bar gets watered down, etc. Furthermore, I always find that soap bar tends to leave a layer of film on my skin, especially on my face. With this cleansing bar, that sensation was obvious when I used it on my face but with my body, hardly detectable. As it lacks the harmful ingredients like SLS, which is a lathering agent, dont expect this bar to produce lots of bubbly lathers! Instead, it creates a rather soft mild lather good enough to soap yourself up and it is one of the gentlest soap bar I have used. So, if you love bubbles and lots of lather, you will need to look elsewhere. As for me, I prefer avoiding harmful ingredients for the novelty of lather and I love how my skin doesnt feel tight after using it. The scent is a plus point too!

And now, my favourite product out of the 3... Blissoma SMOOTH, A+ SERUM


100% Vegan - 100% Natural

Skin Type: Oily, Acneic, Irritated, Rudy Complexion 

Over 13 exquisite herbs offer a formula packed with toning and refining power with a hydrating, super light texture.

This moisturizer is technically oil-free, as organic Jojoba is a liquid wax, not a triglyceride. It conditions skin without greasiness and allows skin to breathe fully. 

There's no need for a harsh retinol when freshly juiced organic Carrot and Helio Carrot CO2 add natural source Beta Carotene. Niacinamide maintains ceramide levels for ongoing hydration, synthesizes collagen, and has been noted as a healthy topical acne remedy as well.

To Use:

Gently spread over face and neck after cleansing and toning. May also be used throughout the day as a spot treatment. Each 1 oz container is approximately a 1 month supply when used once daily.Individuals with inflamed, dry skin can use this treatment prior to final moisturizing. Individuals with oily skin can use it alone. For maximum effect combine with our Tone - Adaptive Energy Tonique daily and Refine - Clay Renewal Treatment on a weekly basis.

Verdict

Texture: Moisturizing but not oily; gets absorbed into skin rather fast

Ingredients: Infusion of Coriandrum sativum* (coriander), Achillea millefolium* (yarrow), Solidago virgaurea* (goldenrod), Foeniculum vulgare* (fennel), Rosa damascena* (roses), and Taraxacum officinale* (dandelion), Aloe barbadensis (aloe) Juice*, Cetearyl Alcohol and Cetearyl Glucoside, Hamamelis virginiana (witch hazel), Niacinamide, Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate, Daucus carota (carrot) Juice*, Simmondsia chinensis (jojoba) Oil*, Extracts of Olea Europaea* (olive leaf), Gluconolactone, Lonicera japonica* (honeysuckle), Glycyrrhiza glabra* (licorice), and Calluna vulgaris* (heather flowers), Essential Oils of Citrus bergamia (bergamot) FCF, Boswellia carterii (frankincense), and Rosa damascena (rose otto), CO2 Extracts of Daucus carota (helio-carrot) and Matricaria chamomilla (german chamomile), Populus Tremuloides (aspen) Bark Extract, Xanthan Gum, Grain Alcohol*, citronellol**, geraniol**, linalool**, limonene** *from Certified Organic Agriculture **natural components of essential oils

Benefits: Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects; help reduce hyperpigmentation on blemishes, damaged, or irritated skin; cleanse and calm pores

Smell: A hint of rose and a rather citrus scent (probably from the use of Bergamot)

Cost: $36

Product Rating: 10/10

As a serum, this works effectively and efficiently in calming down my blemishes and moisturizing my skin. It leaves my skin feeling less irritated and well hydrate after washing and toning.

I tested this product out on a big red pimple which I had on my forehead and the very next day, it was reduced to a tiny bump and another day later, it resulted in a flatted brown spot! Being no stranger with blemishes, I wish I found this sooner and I would recommend this to all who has problem skin!
