Catrice Ultimate Nail Lacquer 30 Lilactric

Catrice is a relatively new beauty brand (from Europe) that made its way to Singapore few months ago. The products are highly affordable, with nothing above S$15. Despite that, the quality is not compromised.

Last month, Catrice Singapore sent me a generous bag of goodies, with Catrice Ultimate Nail Lacquer 30 Lilactric being one of them.

Catrice Ultimate Nail Lacquer 30 Lilactric is a pretty pastel lilac with reflective gold shimmers.


I like the wide and flat brush, which allows me to apply evenly and smoothly with just one stroke.


It takes 2 coats of Lilactric for a full opaque finish. Here, I applied 3 coats of Lilactric with Poshe Super-Fast Drying Topcoat.

Well, even without the topcoat, it dries pretty fast with a shiny finish. No streaks or gloops!


At S$5.90, I think it is worth to check it out for the quality you are getting. And, don't forget their extensive makeup range!

For now, Catrice can be found at selected Guardian outlets, namely:- Citylink, Suntec City, JEMS, IMM, Serangoon NEX, Vivocity, Harbourfront, Paragon, Ang Mo Kio Central and Toa Payoh Block 190.

AFC LipoDOWN2 & ActiveSLIM

In May, AFC launched their slimming range consisting of LipoDOWN2 and ActiveSLIM, with the former being its star product.  

Both LipoDOWN2 and ActiveSLIM are 100% natural and safe fat burning formulas researched and developed by Nihon Preventive Medical Laboratory, Japan. 

The new and improved LipoDOWN2 is particularly helpful for those with sedentary lifestyles as the natural proprietary formula is enhanced with 200% more fat burning prowess than its predecessor LipoDOWN. It is clinically proven to work at the cellular level to shrink massive fat cells and increase fat metabolism for maximum fat burning round the clock.

As for ActiveSLIM, it targets active lifestyles who want to boost fat burning efficacy and shed stubborn flabbiness during workouts for slimmer body, improved body definition and shape.

LipoDOWN2
- $92.90 (60 softgels)

  • Targets fat and inch loss in the tummy, thighs and hips
  • Reduces calorie absorption from dietary fat
  • Promotes thermogenesis, increases metabolism for maximum fat burning
  • Helps shrink bulky fat cells and blocks formation of new fat cells
  • Helps regulate appetite and promotes sense of fullness
  • Supports reduction of organ fat and body fat
  • Supports healthy blood lipid and blood sugar levels

ActiveSLIM
- S$72.90 (120 softgels)

  • Fuels fat burning for weight and inch loss
  • Reduces fat and calorie storage
  • Converts fat and glucose into energy
  • Improves body definition and shape
  • Increases metabolism and slows age-related metabolic decline
  • Increases calories burning during workout

As I'm inching towards my 30s, my metabolism rate starts to slow down significantly. The thought of not being able to fit into my favorite jeans made me really upset. I need to do something about my weight gain.

After 2 weeks of taking LipoDOWN2 daily (2 softgels before/after lunch & dinner), I did not notice any weight loss but... I am glad that there was no weight gain though, given my huge appetite. Unlike most slimming products that have side effects like diarrhea, I did not experience that from LipoDOWN2.

For those who exercise regularly. ActiveSLIM will be a better choice for you. It will help maximize fat burning by 3x with every move. That being said, I really need to get back to exercising on a regular basis soon.

Both products are available at Unity, Watsons, Guardian, Robinsons, John Little, OG and other leading pharmacies.
