Apart from the beautiful surprises in the monthly
VanityTrove, there will be sharing of "how to" tips, inspirational ideas, etc... in the form of a mini "Vanity" booklet, starting from Jan 2013.
Camy (from
VanityTrove) did a special mix of featured products from Nov + Dec + Jan, hence mine might look a lil' different from the rest. Mine was indeed a box of beautiful surprises! Thank you, Camy!
TruLife Lingzhi Immunity
- $58.80 (box of 10)It is a health supplement drink for all ages. This is perfect when you feel exhausted or just want to improve your general well-being.
It tasted pretty alright to me, kinda like (cold) herbal soup. The herbal-ish taste might be a lil' strong for some.
Ciracle Blackhead Off Cotton Mask*- $32.90 (20pcs of Blackhead Off Cotton Mask + black plastic dual-ended cotton swab + blackhead removal tools)
It is a 100% cotton mask that removes sebum, blackheads and whiteheads. It helps to manage the pores around the nose by dissolving and removing sebum, blackheads and whiteheads without any skin irritation.
CLICK HERE for my review.
Philosophy*"Philosophy is a brand that approaches personal care from a skin care point of view. We believe in miracles and the beauty in everyone."I am new to this brand and have never tried any of their products before. The sample kit consists of the
microdelivery peel (step I and II),
eye hope (multi-tasking eye cream for dark circles, puffiness and lines),
purity made simple (3-in-1 cleanser for face and eyes),
miracle worker (miraculous anti-aging moisturizer).
DrGL Collagen Essence* - $198 (30ml)This is a deluxe size sample of 10ml. If you do the girly math, 10ml = $66! I was really excited to see this product upon receiving my trove.
DrGL Collagen Essence is suitable for even the most sensitive skin. This superbly hydrating formula penetrates deep within to deliver and retain moisture beyond skin's surface. It has a very lightweight (watery) texture, which keeps skin comfortable in hot and humid weather while still providing more than adequate hydration in drying winter conditions.
Sounds really good yea? I'll be trying this essence soon!
Yuskin A Hand Cream- $14.90It is a rich, gentle and moisturizing cream that relieves dry skin. This top-selling moisturizer in Japan is adored for its light and non-greasy texture. It contains
Vitamin E and
Glycyrrhetinic Acid to heal chapped skins.
It does not contain steroids, artificial coloring or preservatives. It can be used on hands and feet, even lips.
I tried it on my hands. It has this balmy texture and feels slightly greasy initially. The greasy feel dissipates some time later, and leaves a slight film on the skin. It moisturizes my dry skin very well, especially my super dry legs. And, I really like its medicated scent. I am weird like that (lol).
Laline Body Cream (Vanilla)*It is a 100% pure pampering treat for the body! This creamy, silky smooth classic body cream contains
aloe vera gel to soothe and calm the skin.
This is definitely one of my faves in this
VanityTrove. It smells so good... so delish! I like that the vanilla scent is not too sweet. Most body creams tend to leave the skin feeling sticky or greasy after application. This does not... how not to love it!
Adore Sanitary Pad- $5.15 to $6.35
These premium sanitary napkins are ultra slim and highly absorbent. They also help supress bacterial growth.
I've never heard of this brand (
Adore) before.
Hmm... it is not my time-of-the-month yet... so I haven't got the chance to try them.
Lastly, just wanna share the editor's
Beauty Tip No.1 - "Learn to make yourself a priority, not an option." from the booklet. I need to learn that obviously... looking forward to a
Fresh New Me in 2013... (:
That's all for
