Debunk Your Skincare Myths With Dr. Belmeur

This week's challenge is all about skincare. The fellow team from Teenage have given us finalists the task of finding 5 skincare myths and have them debunk to our followers/readers. Before we go on any further with this post, do take a look a this video that I've did in collaboration with THEFACESHOP.

3CE White Milk Series Review

So its about a month plus since I'm back from my Korea trip. Taking a break from all my travelogue posts. I'm here today to review the new addition (sort of) to the 3 concept eyes family.

The other day when I helped my friend (Joyce @JoyceForensia) to get hers from the Stylenanda outlet at Hongdae, I didn't really pay much attention to these products. Until the very last night in Korea, I was wandering around Hongdae and I decided to pay Stylenanda another visit. This time round I went inside, with the only purpose to take more pictures with the free photobooth they had. HAHAHAHA!!!

Just when I was walking around the store, I take a second look at the 3CE White Milk Series, and I thought, is it really that good? So I went out of the store and start googling, and I was quite amazed by the things these products claimed. So I thought, why not buy to try it myself?!?! So here I am now giving my verdict and review after using it for close to a month, cuz I tried googling and researching for reviews and the results I got is close to zero. Even if have its like in Korean so.... I thought why not I do a review myself. RIGHT?!?!?!!


White Milk Pack To Foam
Seriously, this shit is AWESOME! NO KIDDING! Its actually a clay that acts as cleanser to cleanse your skin, giving you a more refined pores and better looking skin. It can also be used as a pore patch where you just apply only at your nose or T zone area. When applied, its like a cream kind of texture, but after leaving it on for 5mins, it will start to turn into clay like.




What I usually do is when I apply, I leave it on for about 7-10mins. Then I'll use my clarisonic to clean it off my face. The after feeling is pretty refreshing and its really gentle on the skin. Unlike any other cleanser that I've used, this doesn't give me any skin irritation cuz I have really really sensitive skin. Thus it can be washed off easily as well, cuz I've used some clay mask/cleanser before and after you leave it for like 5mins, it starts to harden and its pretty hard to wash it off. So yea, this product did my money some justice.



I have to say, this really does wonders. I have acnes and blemishes when I was in Korea, and I started using this Pack To Foam when I came back. Now the blemishes have become less visible and pimples are also disappearing. I wouldn't say by using this will give you instant results. It takes time but it definitely works. I really regret buying only 1. Hahaha!!!



White Milk Cream
Dermatologically tested for sensitive skin people like you and me. This product is a whitening cream which whitens your skin INSTANTLY. I tried it once on my face and I think its because I'm relatively tanned so it looks really weird on me. I think this product suits people who are more light skinned. This product can also be used to set your make up. Best of all, it doesn't get washed off easily by water. (not sure about sweat though) LOL! But I've tried washing it off with water, it doesn't come off unless I use it with soap. So I guess its a good thing for you women out there. It also comes with a mini spatula for hygiene purposes. But if you don't mind you can just use your hands or fingers la.




Just for this review, I tried it on my hand and took a photo for comparison. (NOT THE ABOVE PHOTO) It doesn't really show here cuz as you know... I'm really tanned. So you couldn't really see the difference. If I'm not wrong, you can also use this as a overnight cream. Just apply it before you sleep to let your face feel moisturized the whole entire night while you're asleep.

So here's the comparison. The one that I applied the white milk cream is on the right hand. Once again, (I have to keep repeat this) I'm relatively tanned so you can't really see the obvious difference. But from my eye aka LIVE from my own eyes, you could see the difference. Just that I don't know why it doesn't translate in the image. Hmmm....




White Milk Sleeping Mask
This is what I've been using for my skin care routine for the past 1 month. To make sure my skin is hydrated and moisturised while I'm asleep, I will apply the sleeping mask and leave it for my face the entire night after using the Pack To Foam to cleanse my face. Its non sticky nor greasy so when you sleep it doesn't stains your pillows or bedsheets.



To be honest, I'm not sure if this works the same as the White Milk Cream??? The only difference between these 2 product is that the White Milk Cream whitens your skin and the Sleeping Mask doesn't. If anyone who's reading this happens to know, please enlighten me. Thanks. :)



So in conclusion, I will say the Pack To Foam is definitely worth the buy. It really helps lighten my acne scars and blemishes and now my face look less horrendous than it was before.

If you're a girl I think the White Cream Milk will suit you? Cuz it really lightens your skin tone as shown on their website and it helps cover your blemishes as well. Good for it when you're going out on a date with your boyfriend or so. Or if you have a photoshoot the next day and your face decides to screw you up on the very last min, maybe this could save your life?!?!

If you're getting the Pack To Foam I will suggest you to get the Sleeping Mask as well. Cuz I've used it together with the Pack To Foam as my skincare regime and it might or might not help it lightening the scars and blemishes. But it definitely leaves my skin hydrated and moisturised throughout the night. So yeap. Worth the buy.

So yeap. That's about it. Above is the price range that they're selling for all 3 products. I didn't buy the White Milk Cushion cuz well, obviously that is like a powder, its for girls and its also quite expensive. So I didn't buy that. But it seems interesting though. But on the other hand, I did help Joyce to buy it though, maybe you guys can wait for her review to be up?

Vellus Hair Studio

13th December, Thursday

Head on down to Vellus Hair Studio, located at Tanjong Pagar. I will list the details on how to get there at the later part of this post, meanwhile, here's what happened on my visit to Vellus Hair Studio.

Vellus hair Studio is located at 2nd level of one of the shop houses. Once you climb up the stairs you will find yourself here.



Discussed with Josie before on what kind of hair color should I do, and we both agreed on one, that is rarely seen around in Singapore.

There's a waiting area for customers to seat while waiting for their turn, there's also magazines to keep you occupied! :D

 
Then here is the hallway where it leads to the private rooms, where you will get to enjoy your own personal space while getting your hair done! :D



Here's me waiting at the seating area for my turn, cuz I'm super enthu and end up going there 30mins early! Hahaha!



 
After Josie is done with the customer before me, she then bring me to the private room, where I CAN HAZ EVERYTHING TO MYSEFL! MUAHAHAHAHA!

HAPPYBOY_92

OHYAH! Did I mention that the chair is adjustable to your liking?! Now you can have your hair done in your own private room and also to your own comfort! Its like living the life of a TaiTai!!!



At Vellus hair Studio, they also offer drinks as well, ranging from Mocha, Coke, Tea and etc. I choose coke cuz... I'm a fan of Coke okay!!! Haha!



First, to get the color that I'm doing, I would need to bleach my hair, Josie applied the Chemical Scalp Protection on my scalp so that I when she's bleaching my hair, it won't sting so much.



Here's after round 1 of bleaching! There's still a bit of red dye on my hair that refuses to come off, so Josie went on to bleach my hair for the 2nd time.



After 2nd round of bleaching there's still some red color on corners of my hair, just a slight info, if your hair color is red, it will be slightly more harder to bleach it off cuz.... Red is a strong color.

But Josie was thoughtful enough, cuz if I were to continue bleaching my whole head, my hair will fall off, so she just bleach those part with the red dye.

  

TADAH! AFTER MY HAIR IS DONE BLEACHING! ♥

AHHHHH! How I miss my blonde hair! Followed next, Josie applied the color that is going to be on my hair! YAY!
Josie really put all her effort into doing my hair lor! She's like so focused and all.



Looking at the colors is a bit intimidating, cuz I've never done such striking colors before. Hahaha! But I'm really excited to see the final outcome of my hair! ^.^

Here's the final look! I'm LOVIN' it!!! ^.^

Really love the gradient of my hair! At first look I'm not really used to it, but now I'm slowly loving it! Its my first time doing such striking colors!



Took a photo with Josie before I left! She's so bubbly and friendly.
I love talking to her! Hahah! :D
