ROLL WITH IT!

Advertorial

Ever felt like this before?








After a long day of wearing lens, or just being awake, your eyes feel so lifeless and tired?

Tadah!!

I just got sponsored Garnier's Light Brightening Eye Roll-On!!



It's a great invention and I'm surprised that it took humankind so long to develop something like this!



The Roll-on comes in a slim and cute little tube like this - and to soothe puffy or tired eyes, all you have to do is to roll it on!

It uses a state-of-the-art roll-on to massage away tiredness from your eyes, and massaging is a technique used by experts to boost natural draining and decongest tired eyes!

With a stroke of genius, Garnier also added CAFFEINE into the roll-on - that acts as a natural simulant to boost your circulation and give an extra perk to your eyes!



Cleverly, the roll-on comes with an extremely convenient little metal ball to aid your application.

The metal ball is cold and damn shiok! Now I won't fall asleep during MJ anymore!!

No more messing around with eye creams (God I hate those, I can never properly dig the cream out with long nails) or feeling ridiculous when you bring your eye cream out with you.

This one fits right into any handbag!



I think it's perfect for long plane rides. :)

Time to give it a test!



Yes I'm putting it over my make up!



Nice cooling effect as the liquid immediately gets absorbed by my skin.



Blend it in.



And you get happy eyes!!!



Garnier also came up with a cute application for phones!

Ever wished you had a Magic 8 ball to bring around with you in case of tough decisions? Well, here's one for your phone, FREE!!

You can download it here and it's super easy!

The game is really simple - your sunny yellow roll-on helps you decide whether you should ROLL WITH IT, or ROLL AWAY!






Rotating... Hurry up, my important life decisions are depending on you!



Well, since I was at home that night, I obviously had loads of things to decide on.


For example ---




I am peckish! Should I or should I not?

Let the game decide!!!!!!

(Still) Damn good skin!

Woohoo! You know how a lot of you are asking about my skin care regime? Well here's your answer!

This is my second advertorial with Cellnique, one of the best products I've ever gotten due to me being an awesome blogger! Whee!!!

You can see my first advertorial for them here.

To be honest, till this date I still find that that advertorial is perhaps one of the best I've written. Maybe it is not as entertaining as those with more pictures, but it is certainly the most convincing!

Why?

Because everybody loves Before and After pictures, and these two pictures made sure Cellnique's famous Pro Sebum Gel was completely sold out in Singapore after the advertorial was published.

Till today sprees are being held for this magic gel, and it is also not uncommon for it to be sold out in stores.

The pictures:






Thanks... I know my nose very disgusting with all those black heads.


So anyway, now that I've piqued your curiousity - here's a picture of my nose in 2008:





Sorry lah! I got no "before" photo this time coz I've been consistently using Cellnique since 2006!


Anyway, the good people that brought us Cellnique have decided to give it a complete overhaul!!


Behold the new product design:





Under the new feisty name of B.Liv!


Inside:




It is colour labeled too.


Orange for Comedone reduction (I googled and that's like blackheads/whiteheads. Eww!)

Pink for Blemish reduction

Purple to Minimise Pores

and Blue for Hydration

But don't let the colours confuse you. If you have blackheads but also dry skin, you can always mix and match Orange and Blue products to best suit your skin type.

Their products are very easy-to-use and a skincare regime doesn't need to involve like 7 steps! Just 1)Serum, and 2)moisturizer. That's it.




My favourite is of course what used to be called the Pro Sebum Gel... Now, its new name is "Off with those heads"!

Hahahaha... Sounds a bit like a mad Samurai. But cute anyway!

Now, 30ml of this miracle gel used to cost $69. Now that everything is revamped, this wondrous gloop is going for 50ml at $100, which is even more economical. Personally I always finish my 30ml. :(


Just to reillustrate how awesome this product is:

Put a pea-sized amount onto your skin every night.

This can be applied instead of toner and before moisturizer. After 2 weeks, I experienced MUCH softer skin that is extremely smooth and has no clogged pores.

Zits and oil on my skin also reduced rather startlingly, and a soft pink glow even appears.


True story! You have to try it to believe it!


Another B.Liv product that I love is their facial masque - Now known as Glow and Shine.


Scary photo coming up

Tadah!!


Hahaha...


Aren't masks awesome? Glow and Shine comes in the form of a thick white paste with beads in it. Smells absolutely yummy and minty.

First rinse your face clean. Then spread it on and let it set for a bit. In the meantime you can feel a slight tingling sensation (I like to think of it as the mask killing my zits before they can start) and it's just wonderful to have that cold wet feeling on your face!

After 10 minutes, it's time to raise it off. I also like to use the beads to exfoliate for a bit. :)

And voila!



No photoshop on the complexion.

I know it's not perfect, but I am not one of those blessed people with good skin.

Er, in fact, if my skin left to its own I will have loads of blackheads and humongous pores and zits and oil and dull complexion etc etc... SO THIS IS GOOD ENOUGH!


Being the awesome blogger I am, I've also tried all the other products and I've squeezed them out for you to see so you know what you will be getting!






Left to right:

Got Me Covered:
Sunscreen! Very light, water-based SPF protection for everyday use. Gives light coverage and feels silky smooth.

Squeaky Clean: Deep-cleansing facial wash with beads in it. It really will make you feel squeaky clean coz of the refreshing herbal smell!

Drench Me:
Facial wash that feels light and yet cleanses thoroughly. I think it's good when used with Off With Those Heads.

Quench Me:
What used to be the famous Aqua Gel is now called Quench Me. This is a moisturizer that's water-based and hydrates without making your skin oily or sticky. It absorbs instantly into skin! 30ml of this used to be $55.90 but now 50ml of it is the same price!!

Shrink and Tighten:
Pore-reducing serum. I can't be sure if it works coz I also use Off With Those Heads which also does the same for my skin! But if your worry is big pores and not blackheads, then you should get this.

Glow and Shine: I just gave a glowy and shiny introduction of it.

No Spots Bye Dots: Blemish-reducing facial wash. Keeps blemishes from attacking!

Spots got Shot: (Not in picture) Instant solution for annoying zits!





Ignore the solemn expression.

I love my B.Liv products!

Sparkly eyes

Having had perfect eyesight since my first eyesight test, I've always taken my eyes for granted.

I only wear coloured contacts for purely cosmestic reasons, so I guess I don't really wear them often.

Whenever I do wear them however, I just spray some multi-purpose solution on them and flop them on. Remember how most multi-purpose solutions boast to be "No-rub"?

I’ve just received a bottle of Complete Easy Rub contacts solution by AMO (Advanced Medical Optics), and to my surprise, eye care practitioners everywhere have been advocating the Rub, Rinse and Soak regime for multi-purpose solutions!



See, this little frog understands:



(Watch it it's funny!)

Rubbing contact lenses is increasingly deemed as troublesome and so many people skip that step (including me), but it is actually one of the main factors responsible for unsightly eye infections!

And, caring for our eyes, Complete Easy Rub is the only multipurpose solution in the industry that actively encourage users to Rub, Rinse and Soak our contact lenses.

Not only does it prevent infections, it also will let you have healthier, brighter eyes - which as everyone knows is essential to attracting the opposite sex. Hahaha!! I mean, obviously nobody finds people with sore eyes or dull eyes attractive, right? Right.



AMO also taught me the correct steps to proper lens care,
and it’s actually not THAT hard!

You ready to revolutionize your contacts cleaning regime??!




Step 1:
Wash and dry your hands prior to handling your lenses.



Step 2:
Place 3 drops or more of Complete Easy Rub
solution on one side of the lens surface.



Yes I know I have 6 drops there.
You think so easy to take these photos ah???


Step 3:
Rub your lens gently from the centre
to the edges for at least 10 seconds.



(It looks like I am not doing it the right way here
but actually I was just preventing the contact from dropping,
and the camera caught the picture then.

Do it properly like instructed!)


Never rub in a circular motion,
because it may tear the lens and
not clean the outer edge surface.


Step 4:

Rinse both sides of your lens
for at least 5 seconds with the solution




Until they are sparkly like that! :D





Stick it in. Gently of course.

Or very roughly if you wish to blind yourself.




I know.

Not very sexually appealing picture.





Check for comfort.

Camwhore with new sparkly eyes!!










Store contacts in Complete Easy Rub solution for at least 6 hours after you take your them off!


Remember to use AMO Complete Easy Rub as it gives the COMPLETE protection for your eyes and keeps them safe from micro-organisms!





It's this one ah don't buy the wrong thing!




For more information
go to AMO's website to read up on more eyecare!!





Sparkly isn't it??

(Ok lah it's photoshopped. But still!)
