CLICK HERE to read more about my more in-depth write-up of APIVITA.
The event was held at the VivoCity outlet (just beside Citibank).
Reviews will be up soon, starting with Cream with Propolis, then Cream with Calendula, and so on.
I randomly tried mask-ing my hand with Express Beauty Nourishing & Regenerating Mask (with Carrot). Quite moisturizing, in my opinion.
The much raved about product that day was this Orange, Cedarwood and Clove Natural Candle.
I was told to dip my fingers into the pure essential oils and slather on my skin. My skin feels moisturized, and I absolutely love the (rejuvenating) warm orangey scent.
Thank you Access Comms for the invite!
