Hi girls! May I see a show of hands of the ones who don't like receiving presents?

Since I can't see you (it would be freaky if I could!), I'll safely assume that everyone loves surprises, okie?

 

BOOOOOOO! Surprise! Did I scare you?

Saje nak mengejutkan kamu semua heeheehee! cheekycheeky

 

Today, I would like to show you the beautiful surprises I've been receiving for the past three months. No, unfortunately it isn't from a secret admirer haha!

 

The popular and premier beauty discover platform, Vanity Trove, has recently launched in Malaysia! laugh

Thanks to Vanity Trove, I first received their debut beauty box in February.

 

FEBRUARY

 

I was woken up by the doorbell and a parcel addressed to me!

 

What could be better than receiving presents the first thing upon waking up?

It feels like Christmas all over again.

 

There was a personalized, handwritten note inside too.

Thanks Valerie of Vanity Trove! heart xoxo

 

Ready to see my beautiful surprise?

It's very, very pretty! laughlaughlaugh

 

Lovely beauty box of beauty products, make up and skincare!

Glorious, glorious treasures for every girl! Wheeeeeeee devil

 

Untuk para pembaca lelaki, aku hanya boleh kata, maaf je lah okey? Ataupun, ini juga boleh dijadikan idea baru untuk hadiah-hadiah yang selanjutnya, khas buat si awetmu, kan? wink 

So guys, just admire the pretty, sparkly stuff this time round, alright? 

 

A little card containing all the details of each product that this beauty box contained!

 

I think this is an integral part of every beauty box. I'm sure the recipients would love to know what each and every product can do, and whether or not our skin suitable enough to use the products given!

Here is a breakdown of the treasures in February's Vanity Trove:

1. System Professional (SP) Colour Save Shampoo

7. Di Palomo Tuscan Rose Hand & Body Lotion

 

Now, let's take a closer look at them – one by one! laugh

 

B.LIV Off with Those Heads Blackheads Sebum Gel

This does wonders in gently and effectively removes those stubborn whiteheads and blackheads,

+ as keeping oil secretions in control. I find this product very effective, lesser imperfections on my face!yes

 

Next in line is…

 

ORIKS Wild Ginseng Stemcell Twister Essence 

This soft and velvety gel reduces visible pores, hydrates and nourishes the skin. 

 

Comes out transparent and smells nice!

 

ORIKS Wild Ginseng Stemcell Essence Twister BB Cream

 

This is formulated with plant stem cells to repair and cover imperfections.

I liked its texture gave me a powdery finish after I applied it onto my face,

unlike some of the other brands of oily/sticky BB Creams I've tried!

 

System Professional (SP) Colour Save Shampoo and System Professional (SP) Colour Save Mask 

These two are awesome stuff! Comes in a tiny package too, perfect for my travelling needs!

I refuse to use it for now, but when I get my hair back to red, I will smiley

 

Benefit POREfessional 

This silky and lightweight balm minimizes pores and fine lines with oil-free and Vitamin E formula. 

This can be worn on its own or used under make-up, as a make-up base!

 

Di Palomo Tuscan Rose Hand & Body Lotion

Blended with moisturizing olive and sweet almond oils, it nourishes the skin, leaving it soft and smooth!

 

I loved its light rosy scent that was mild yet distinctive!

 

 

MARCH

The arrival of March can only mean that new beautiful surprises are coming!

This time, I was surprised at work when I beeped the delivery man into my office.

 

Got all excited to unwrap my new beauty box!

 

Not one, but TWO surprises on my office desk!

One is for me, and I got the other one for you. More about that later!

5. Etre Belle Sensiplus Hydrasilk Day & Night Cream 

 

Kanebo Skin Fusing Powder Foundation

It provides natural coverage and ensures a shine-free appearance with SPF 20 PA++ powder formula!
Tried and tested, I like using this as it blends and melts into my skin when I spread it onto my face.

 

Gave me a dewy  and radiant complexion for the day too. Yay!

 

To those with skin sensitivity issues, rejoice!

The following products works to soothe and moisturize delicate and irritated skin.

 

Etre Belle Sensiplus Hydrasilk Gel Tonic and Etre Belle Sensiplus Hydrasilk Day & Night Cream

allergy-prone skin against environmental stressors and helps to relieve irritation of skin.

 

Bio-Essence Bird's Nest Bio-Energy Firm & Brighten Eye Cream with SPF 15

Just what I needed for my eye area! 

 

I keep it at work just in case I feel tired or if my eyebags begin to weigh a tonne LOL

Just squeeze and apply around your eye contours, beneath and all around the eye!

 

Asian Potions Blooming Ginger Body Lotion

It is made from natural flowers, fruits and plant essences to moisturize your skin and improve firmness!
Delicately scented with ginger flowers and a light mix of Asian florals too, thus the slight hint of fragrant scent.
P/S The ginger provides deep inner calmness too. angel

 

Timeless Truth TT Orchid Extract Whitening Mask

This mask is excessively pampered with orchid, purple peril and chamomile extracts…

 

… and packed with so much moisture! 

These essences whitens, brightens and duh, moisturizes the skin!

 

The most unique part is that this mask sheet is stretchable and form-fitting,

which gave me perfect comfort and full coverage!

 

Don't believe me? Well, check out the following two photos! wink

 

It even tucks behind my ears…

 

…and my beneath my chin/top of neck! Pretty neat, huh? It's something new to me! yes

Perkins Nail Wrap

So we girls like pretty nails. I'm a sucker for nail art and I love to DIY them. heart
But if I ain't got no time to wait painstakingly for it to dry after layers and layers, this will come in handy!
Can't wait to try these nail wrap stickers soon!

 

KilaDoll Red Wine Q10 Mask

This aids skin protection by maintaining the firmness and moisture; promoting elastic and younger skin. 

After all, red wine has such amazing properties! yes

In my honest opinion, after testing and reviewing ORIKS products for the past three months, I've grown to love the stuff from ORIKS. They have such good formulas and not to mention, a really high quality make as well.

Such an innovation for beauty products!

 

CLARINS Intensive Brightening Serum

This serum is the most advanced skin are for fairer, healthier skin.

Thanks to the Trans-Luminescent Complex, it revives skin at every layer, making it

clear and radiant. If you are looking to brighten your skin with a rosy glow, try this, girls!


 

KATE Eyeshadow DB

Boasts a palette with two shades that can be used individually or mixed.
I prefer to mix mine and blend it into a different colour where the colours meet.

 

ISSEY MIYAKE Parfums Pleats Please (EDT)

This is my favorite product this month! Its fruity fragrance formulated by the crossing of apples

and pears, Topped with dashes of peony and sweet pea scents is too good a gem to pass up.
