I have found the One! Have you?

It's the One!

Have sensitive skin like me whereby when you put a certain product on and your face develops a rash and turns all red and patchy? Bioderma can be your solution and added into your beauty regime!

Personally I have been using Bioderma's Atoderm range which is meant for your body of work. I am using the Bioderma Atoderm PP Baume for my body's moisturizer as recommended by my dermatologist at National Skin Center. This was recommended to me due to the fact that I have eczema prone skin.

Bioderma’s Sensibio range of products is developed specifically for sensitive skin like mine and many others! Featuring innovative patented formulas, they are highly effective in boosting skin’s tolerance level and soothing irritation as well!

I have found the One! Have you found yours?

Did you know?
Sensibio H2O is made of highly purified water, which the highest grade of pharmaceutical water that is completely free of impurities and irritants, making it a clear choice for sensitive skin! No more worrying that it would leave you with a red patch!

Approved by dermatologists, Bioderma Sensibio H2O contains unique biomimetic molecules* that are biologically compatible with your skin, offering gentle yet powerful cleansing and makeup removing efficacy. This innovative non-rinse formula has unique restorative properties that ensures skin feels soft and comfortable post-cleansing.

My skin felt really clean but not stripped & soft to the touch after makeup remover.
I usually used around 3-4 cotton pads for a full face remover. It's cleans off the makeup effortlessly, there is no tugging on my skin as well.

Good tip!
You can use this as cleanser and/or makeup remover over face, eyes and lips.

In just one step, Bioderma Sensibio H20 provides superior makeup removal and gentle cleansing, thanks to its unique restorative properties, skin is always left feeling soft and comfortable. Soap-, alcohol- and fragrance-free, this non-rinse cleanser refreshes, soothes and preps the skin for subsequent skincare.

WELCOME NEW PRODUCTS!
Bioderma is introducing two new additions to its Sensibio suite!

The Bioderma Sensibio Gel Moussant is a gentle foaming gel that can cleanses while hydrating and soothing sensitive skin. Enriched with skin conditioning ingredients such as coco-glucoside and glyceryl oleate, it also has lipid-restoring and moisturising properties.

It is suitable for day and night, use for both face and eyes.
You can use it alone or part of a double cleansing routine after Sensibio H2O.

"Research shows that skin which isn't properly cleaned not only looks dull, thanks to a build up of dirt and dead skin, but that this surface layer can prevent active ingredients getting to where they need to be."

This means that double cleansing is the way to go from now on in order to achieve the beautiful skin!

The Bioderma Sensibio Dermatological Water is a face and body soothing spray that soothes skin while maintaining healthy skin cells. Perfect for sensitive skin, it combats various skin reactive signs. Soothing agents such as mannitol, rhamnose and zinc also provide quick and lasting relief to sensitive skin!

Use it as often as desired to freshen up skin or to remove the balance of mask left behind on face.
There is no need to pat dry.

How I like it?
 I love to use before I put my makeup after my moisturizer. I will let it set and let my skin absorb till dry while I dry my hair and apply makeup on top of it. And also I've spray once in a while in the office. (sitting in the aircon room makes my skin really dehydrated)

#Celestrys x Vaniday ($20 Voucher!)

One stop to find all your beauty treatments!

Always make room for more beauty in your life

Firstly, all of you should download the Vaniday App or simply visit
https://www.vaniday.com.sg/ to create your account :D

I got to know about Vaniday during the Sample Store Giftopia Event at Raffles City.
I was introduced to their platform then and downloaded the app myself that day.

Few weeks later, I had the honour to try out Vaniday myself with my very first booking!
I needed a good massage badly due to exams and work during that month.

The Vaniday app is very user friendly, straightforward and has a easy to use user interface. 

I browse thru the category of "Massage" and I had a lot of choices!

Firstly, they can filter based on your location, price range, dates and categories.
I quickly found the one I am really interested in to go, which is Chi, The Spa at Shangri-La

Vaniday will show their current promotions at the top so that users get the best deal for that period of time. The usual price is quite expensive at S$285, but Vaniday is having a promotion just for their users at only S$125. Isn't this a must-grab deal?

In their about tab, you can see more information about the shop. Their exact address, opening hours for your references. This helps as I don't need to go google for their website again to look for such information!

I have tap onto the Rejuvenate Package which is the one promo. 

It shows me a more detailed description on what will I be getting for this service. I can understand that what I'm entitled too as well when I arrive at the shop (for eg: I am entitled to access the hotel's swimming pool and other facilities)

From there, you tap book and you'll be shown with all the dates where you can book your appointment. This is very good as everyone needs to plan their schedule accordingly. 

It was the 3rd of November when I did my booking.

I had planned for my massage to be on the 28th after my exams. 

After your dates are set, just have to key in the necessary information, voucher codes... 

To help you save money, do use Celestine20 to get $20 off with no minimum spending until 1/3/17.

This is a must do!! 

I had a $80 voucher code given by Vaniday (thank you guys!!) for my first booking

After deducting the voucher code, they summarize how much I have to pay after deducting. And also a summary of my booking. I can also add to my phone's calender so I do not forget my appointment.

If you can see from my screenshots timing above, I started at 9.56am and completed my booking at 10.07am. It's like just 11 minutes and I'm all done! 

In the main page, you can also check back on your current and previous appointments that you have. This helps to track your appts and also can easily book your previous shops that you enjoyed. 

Had changed into my robe in my own private room before the masseuse starts her magic. 

I had such a good one that I fell asleep. Hehe

Vaniday is so awesome that it offers a 10% cashback into your account after your treatment is completed! So my treatment was $125, I had a $12.50 cashback right after I'm done!

Remember I only had to pay $45 after the voucher? I realise that the $45 was only deducted from my card after my treatment was completed too!

I chilled by their relaxation corner after I was done. The service staff there was top notch. My masseuse brought me blankets, hot tea, apples and whatever she could offer me.

I was relaxed and rejuvenated that afternoon.

Go ahead and spoil yourself today!
Remember to use Celestine20 for $20 off your booking!

#CELESTRYS X VITACOCO!

#Celestrys VitaCoco Coconut Water

We eat it. wear it. swear by it.

Never From Concentrate
Vitacoco Coconut Water Series is something we should look out for. Why did I highlight their tagline? Well, Vitacoco is one of the very few brands that only use fresh coconut water, which means to say it's like drinking straight from a coconut!

I was taken aback with the taste of it when I first drank it. I expected something that is overly sweeten and with very strong coconut taste. But VitaCoco did not taste like that!

What I experienced was something so refreshing and mildly sweet, just like real coconut water!
*Tip: Refrigerate your Vitacoco before consuming, it tastes better and more refreshing when cold!
*Take that Singapore heat!*

The best time to drink Vitacoco is when I'm out in the sun, feeling all dehydrated.... Vitacoco is able to quench my thirst and refreshing, and bonus point it's absolutely delicious too!

#Celestrys VitaCoco Coconut Oil

My first thoughts when i first recieved this... "Coconut Oil? What can i do with this?? Put on hair will make it smelly anot?? Take and cook with my food? Sure it's edible??"

Personally, I have seen Youtubers raving about Coconut Oil for Hair Masking before, but the ones they had in their video are in a form of "wax-like" texture. Not really clear oil. You'll understand below.

So I thought, let's see what is this all about!

It came with some ideas of what I can do with this Coconut Oil.

Basically for cooking, it can be used as Cooking Oil, Replacement for Butter for Cookies, Smoothie Booster, Pan Frying, Popcorn Topping and much more.

Ways it can be used for Beauty can be, Hair Mask and target frizzy hair, Body Oil, Lip Balm, Makeup Remover, Oil Pulling, Replacement of Shaving Cream and much more!

I'm not really a cook, so I'm going to try out on my thirsty dehydrated skin!
Once i open the cap, i see these white milky stuffs floating inside the oil + i can really smell the coconut! But it's not smelly/turnoff! It's smelt like Coconut Icecream to me! Hehe

Found a dry patch on my knees...

I dipped my finger into the oil and to my surprise, it's quite watery and not as thick as the usual cooking oils we use!

Followed by applying and gently rubbing into my knees.

Not sure if you can see, but the skin looks like it's coated with a layer of protective oil to keep it moisturized.

Look how clear this is! Coconut Oil is an edible oil that is extracted from the meat of mature coconuts. They are organic and cold-pressed to make it perfect for cooking & beauty needs.

*Update:
I also tried this on my hair as an hair mask. I did not take any photos for this.
I think was greedy and overdone it, I had "wet-looking" hair for the next day on my roots.
I have to wash off the "wet-look" with a good long hair wash.

My advice is that only apply the coconut oil on the ends of your hair. And a little goes a long way!
Definitely it delivers what it said it would do! It moisturized and made my hair look so healthy.

Try it out for yourself!

#CELESTRYS X BIORE MARSHMALLOW!

#Celestrys Biore Marshmallow Whip Deep Clean

Want to get the Matte, Satin, Flawless Look but have Oily Skin? We have a new solution!

Joining the crew is the New Deep Clean Facial Wash, With 800% more micro-bubbles and 8x denser foam, Biore Marshmallow Whip Deep Clean Facial Wash can penetrate into pores to remove all dirt, oil and impurities for a deeper & cleaner cleanse.

Some recap on the previous series, as per below. Each series is targeted at different skin types.

I personally always buy the Yellow one, as I like the feeling it gives after the wash.

The newly launched Deep Clean Series is targeted at people with Oily Skin and to combat the hot & humid weather in Singapore! With temperatures hitting 35°C, our skin will change with the environment which leads in an increase in oil production.

More Oil Production = More Acne, Larger Pores, More Black Heads. (eew)

That's not what we want right? 

As we use more oil-control cleansers, you feel that your skin gets more dry as the cleansers strip off our skin natural oils. And when your skin is feeling that it's dry, it will produce more oil again. The cycle never stops & your skin is always in a messed up situtation. 

Biore launched this new series to combat that situation & to help us fight oily skin!

The new Bioré Deep Clean range consists of two gentle yet purifying cleansers that can effectively cleanse the skin deeply and remove excess sebum, yet sealing in essential moisture and healthy oils to prevent dryness and hence, leaves the skin feeling moist and refreshed! 

With 800% more micro bubbles, it can cleanse deeply into our pores!

Bioré Deep Clean range helps to deeply cleanse dirt and oil from the pores and reduces extra sebum, without drying the skin. The gentle yet purifying cleanser ensures that the skin is cleansed thoroughly to help you enjoy a shine-free face all day!

Improved Skin Purifying Technology (SPT)

Cast away your fears of sufering from dryness after daily facial cleansing! The new and improved Skin Purifying Technology ensures that dirt and excess sebum are removed more easily and washed of more efciently. Thus, preventing the loss of essential moisture from the skin and helping to improve skin condition, leaving the skin feeling moist and soft. 

Can you see how fine the bubbles are??

Personally love this series as much as the Yellow Extra Moist Series. However, my skin is more sensitive and dry most of the days. I would use Deep Cleanse in my weekly regime when I exfoliate/scrub! 

Suggestions

Everyone have different skin types & ways to tackle our ever-changing skin.

I would suggest Dry & Sensitive Skin users to use this once/twice a week for Deep Cleanse.

Oily Skin users to use this everyday once/twice a day to maintain skin moisture & control oil sebum.

For Normal Skin users, I would suggest to use this once a day or when SG's weather is being crazy humid & warm :D

Where to Buy?!

Available at many various locations and shops, you cannot miss them! 
From pharmacies, hyper & supermarkets, beauty stores, departmental stores and selected minimarts!

How much is it? 

$13.90 each

Each bottle can last me for about a month for 2 pumps everyday, day & night.
By doing some calculations, it's only $0.20 each deep cleansing wash!
