Talk about beauty : O.S.T Original Pure Vitamin C20 Serum Review

Saturday, May 18, 2013

SPONSORED REVIEW

Last month, I was approached by Wishtrend to be one of their official Singapore bloggers and I couldn't stop smiling about the entire deal because I am currently on a transition to switch to Korean skincare and makeup products as of late and this is definitely the right time to be sponsored by Wishtrend. I really gotta admit I am freaking lucky man.

So what is Wishtrend ?
Wishtrend is literally your hub of beauty secrets. They have all the top selling Korean skincare and makeup products you can ever imagine and the best thing is that they ship worldwide ! It doesn't matter who you are, where you are. They ship to anywhere on the planet that receives regular postal services.


And so, after all the liaising and all, I received one of their weekly best product, O.S.T Original Pure Vitamin C20 Serum.
The serum comes in a tinted glass bottle due to the Vitamin C contents. If you still haven't known, Vitamin C oxidizes easily even under room temperature and therefore Vitamin C products are often to be refrigerated and comes in tinted bottles to prevent UV rays from entering and damaging the product.



One thing I adore about this product is its fresh, citrus-y scent. It is just the right for me, not too heavy nor too sweet, just the right amount for a refreshing feel. Upon application, it is slightly sticky, but is quickly absorbed into the skin and leaves my skin feeling velvety smooth.

For the younger ones out there, it is never too early to start fighting age. For the matured out there, I totally feel you when you say you are starting to see signs of aging on your skin. The O.S.T Original Pure Vitamin C20 Serum will help retain your youthful and radiant skin by battling oxidants with Vitamin C. The Vitamin C content also help reverses DNA damage and stimulates the production of collagen. Think healing of acne scars, plumping of fine lines and gaining back all the lost confidence from battling with aging over the years ! Not only does the O.S.T Original Pure Vitamin C20 Serum make our skin look younger, it also brightens up dull skin, giving us the much sought after Korean Ulzzang look !

After all the talking, it's sharing time ! All my readers are entitled a discount of USD 3 off your purchase.

Quote 'RFXLSCOZ' to receive the discount. Discount is valid till the end of 2013, with minimum purchase of USD 20.

Event : Olay Look good, Feel Great' Masterclass

Thursday, May 9, 2013

SPONSORED EVENT
Remember my entry regarding the Olay Regenerist Advanced Anti-ageing Micro Sculpting Cream sometime in March ? Click here for the entry if you haven't read about it. Some time in early April, Olay held a 'Look good, Feel Great' masterclass at the Four Seasons Hotel.




Here we have Olay's Senior Scientist, David Khoo, who shared about the latest skincare technology for the All New Olay Regenerist range.


Myth Buster

Skin fatigue is caused by stress. True ? Or false ?



There was also a demonstration where he mixed both the Olay New Regenerist and a prestige skincare brand with water in separate bottles. He then asked a participant to shake both bottles to test its solubility. The Olay New Regenerist quickly dispersed in the water which indicates a possible high absorption level in the skin. A good skin care product is usually more water-dispersed. This is because the main composition of our skin is water, and more water-dispersed products can carry the ingredients deeper in skin layers.

Apart from the previous Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream (read my review here), the ever so loving folks of Cozycot & Olay also kindly gifted me two products - Olay Regenerist Revitalizing Serum and Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Eye Cream and Lash Serum Duo. I'll do a review on these two soon though. Time for me to hit the sacks !!

Talk about beauty : Suntory Milcolla Collagen Powder

Saturday, May 4, 2013

People often say a woman's skin stops producing collagen after they are 25. The body will then start losing collagen at a rate of 1.5% per annum, leaving us with a wrinkly and dull complexion. Having said that, I am 25 now and being in the mid-twenties, it is definitely frightening to know that age catches up in such a fast and harsh manner. Especially when you have the world's most baby-faced boyfriend who still looks like he's 20 at the age of 25.

 

Unfair right ! While us girls spend almost all our money and time to go for facials and buy skin care products, all guys do is use tap water to wash their face or some even more solid ones, just ONE product to wash their hair, body and face. Yet they look more ravishing as they age.

BUT !! I have been receiving comments lately that I am looking younger than my actual age. I personally don't think so la but if quite a handful of people is telling me the same thing then it should be at least 70% true right. Don't say I am selfish cause I am going to share with you my secret to obtaining eternal youth.

Presenting to you, the mother of all Collagen,

 Suntory Milcolla Collagen Powder 



Because I am quite the gia xi (scaredy cat) type, I did quite a fair bit of research before purchasing them to see if it works and if there are any side effects. Some people have expressed disbelief on the internet that ingesting collagen will not work and collagen has to be produced by your own body. But scientific studies have also showed that oral ingestion of collagen will help improve certain aspects of health. Especially our skin, wrinkles and joint and limb health.

Typical collagen has very large molecular weight, making it difficult to absorb. Having said that, Milcolla was made easy to absorb with its small molecule size you can take in approximately 60 times the amount of collagen as other collagen sources. Beauty loss with old age is a major concern and you can't lose much with the strong proactive support of this miraculously formulated supplement.

Taking adequate collagen with your regular meals can be difficult but with one spoon of Suntory's Milcolla Collagen powder, you can easily receive 5000mg a day. All you need to do is add one spoon of Suntory's Milcolla Collagen powder into your usual morning beverage and you're good to go. It doesn't taste or smell fishy like many other collagen consumables out there. Trust me, I had tried and tested enough brands to rave about this.


I am replenishing my stocks for Milcolla so if you guys are interested, drop me an email with the quantity and I'll order for you guys as well. Each packet is SGD 46 exclusive of postage and there will be free registered postage if you purchase 3 packets and above. Interested parties, please email me at toxikk_@hotmail.com

What is YOUR holy grail collagen supplement ? Share it with me on http://ask.fm/tinhuishan ! And if I can, I would purchase them and feature them here and share with everyone else too !
