Sooryehan & Beyond [Review + Promotion] & Klairs Giveaway

Last month, Apper from The Face Apps (an online store with beauty products imported directly from Korea), passed me some products from LG Household and Health Care to review.

LG Household and Health Care is a big Korean company, which carries many well-known skincare brands such as The History of Whoo, O hui, Isaknox, LacVert, Vonin and Sooryehan.

I'll be reviewing products from Beyond and Sooryehan in this post, starting with Sooryehan Fermented Overnight Pack.

Sooryehan Fermented Overnight Pack

$78.90 / 80ml

Optimized Goohyodan created by fermentin 4 main Oriental herbal medicinal ingredients (ginseng, foxglove, pleuropterus multifloruspolygonatum falcatum) provides effective defense against aging.

The highly enriched overnight pack has a glutinous and elastic texture without stickiness or causing discomfort. Leaves skin clear, moist, and firm to enable you to wake up to skin you dream about after a good night's sleep.

How to Use?

As the last step in evening basic skin care, dispense an adequate amount and gently dab while evenly applying over the entire face. Avoid areas around the eye and mouth. Massage the face gently for one minute for better absorption.

 

I like that it comes with a pump dispenser - very hygienic.

Apper told me to refrigerate it prior usage, which I did.

My thoughts:

After my usual night skincare routine, I dispense one pump of product for the whole face. The product itself is milky orange in color. Its consistency is slightly tacky. Do note that it has a pretty strong creamy ginseng scent. It smells good to me coz I like the smell of ginseng. Anyway, not to worry if you ain't a fan of ginseng. The scent disappears once the product gets absorbed into the skin, after a minute of massaging.

So far, I've been using this overnight pack for about 3 weeks (2-3 times per week). I wake up to a fresh-looking complexion, every single use without fail. It helps rejuvenate my dull, lackluster skin... tighten my pores too! I'm definitely impressed when I find that my makeup adheres to my skin better now.

And, I can feel that my skin is firmer and toned right now. Well, it might be attributed to my diligent anti-ageing skincare routine. Nevertheless, Sooryehan Fermented Overnight Pack plays a part too!

 

Let's move on to masks from Beyond...

Beyond Damage Therapy

1pc - $9.90
3pc - $26.70

This is a highly concentrated hair treatment and hair cap that contains extracts from acai berries. The dual-phase intensive care hair mask repairs hair damaged by external stimuli and frequent hair styling. It delivers all natural nutrients to each strand of dull, lifeless hair to make it silky, shiny and vibrant!

How to use?

After shampooing, apply the treatment evenly to towel-dried hair and put on the essence-containing hair cap. Leave on for 15-20 mins, remove the cap and rinse well.

 

My thoughts:

The texture of the hair treatment is thick and creamy, which doesn't feel greasy at all. Scent-wise, it smells like coconut. I apply it onto towel-dried hair and put on the hair cap. I leave it on for 20 mins. The hair cap is essential as it will help the hair treatment get absorbed into the hair. Moreover, it contains organic acai berry extract which instantly nourishes and strengthens the hair.

During the 20mins, my hair feels "stuffy" within the hair mask (in a good way). It feels as though I'm having a hair steam.

After 20mins, I remove the cap and rinse my hair. I can really feel that this one-time treatment has deeply conditioned my hair, leaving it feeling so moisturized. After blow-drying my hair, my hair feels super soft and smooth to touch. The soft and smooth effect lasts for days!

 

Beyond Bye-bye Panda Eyes

1pc - $5.90
3pc- $15.90

Designed exclusively for the eye area, this certified whitening patch delivers highly enriched natural whitening ingredients to sagging skin around the eyes and it's dark shadow reaching to the chin, instantly boosting suppleness and radiance.


How to use?

Open the package and remove the patch. Peel off the transparent film from the patch to apply the smooth side to the skin. Remove after 20-40 minutes.

My thoughts:

The thin eye mask patch material feels like agar-agar, moist and soothing on the skin. I left it on for 40 mins. I feel that it hydrates well. And, it actually smooths out fine lines on the under eye area. However, I didn't notice any brightening effect.

I guess with continuous use, the results will be much more apparent?

 

Beyond Bye-bye Smile Lines

1pc - $5.90
3pc- $15.90

Delicated anti-wrinkle patch cares for wrinkles around the mouth (smile lines) by fundamentally caring for factors causing smile lines and preventing progression to deep wrinkles. Natural essence ingredient revitalizes the skin and boosts elasticity to erase aging-related signs.

How to use?

Open the package and remove the patch. Peel off the transparent film from the patch to apply the smooth side to the skin. Apply the patch carefully around your smile lines and remove after 20-40 minutes.

My thoughts:

The mask patch material is the same as that of Bye-bye Panda Eyes. I left it on for 40 mins as well. It helps smooth out some of the fine lines and my smile line is slightly less prominent.

With just one-time usage, I can't possibly see the line disappearing. Not bad for 1st trial? :D

Sunsilk Bloggers' Event

Sunsilk, I'm pretty sure most of y'all are familiar with this haircare brand yea. I, myself have been using this for years. Hmm.. But I do switch brands now and then though :x

On the 4th of June, I went to Sunsilk's 1st Bloggers' Event (I supposed) @ Ben & Jerry's (Vivocity). As usual, many familiar faces were seen there.

The main focus of this event - Silky Smooth & Manageable range (co-created by Yuko Yamashita).

Yuko Yamashita. Can you believe she's already 54 this year? I wanna look so young at this age too! >.<

"It is important to treat each strand of hair individually, not a whole head at once. There are 100,000 hairs on one person's head and they don't all behave at once."\

SO TRUE!

Thomas Taw, the co-creator of the Damage Reconstruction range.

"Everyone wants hair thats healthy; that moves and bounces whether you're a world-famous actress, catwalk model or an every day girl."

HEALTHY HAIR IS THAT ACHIEVABLE.

Teddy Charles. Pretty cute eh. I would love to have my hair cut by him! :p *in my dreams*

"Every girl looks better with great volume. Finally I have the opportunity, by co-creating with Sunsilk, to co-develop products that give girls across the world access to the secret of beautifully volumised hair, day in, day out."

VOLUME IS THE WAY TO GO.

The latest Sunsilk Weather Defence - 24-hour Frizz Control and Dryness Protection! Co-created by Teddy Charles!

Quenching our thirst.

Sharing with us various haircare tips.

Only shampoo the scalp and not the hair ends. Apply conditioner on the hair ends instead (at the same time). The shampoo will help cleanse the "cleaner" hair ends when you wash off the shampoo. Apply conditioner AGAIN. Yes, that's the correct way of washing hair. Then apply leave-on conditioner on wet hair, by rubbing the cream between your hands and fingers (for even distribution). Use a towel to gently press your hair instead of rubbing 'em aggressively.

The fun begins when we get to create our very own sundaes!

New B&J flavor. Very peanut buttery.

One of the flavors I chose - Mint Chocolate Chunk.

Ooo.. The chocolatey chunks :d~

The thingy look sooo sweet right?! They taste sweet as well. Too hard to bite though. Mainly for deco purpose :D

Aiyooo.. Melting.. :s

Me and Elfaine (the co-founder of TSS). We graduated from the same poly - TP (she's younger though) :D

Vivian & me!

A wonderful Saturday morning spent (: Thanks Sunsilk Sg and TSS for the invitation!

KissJane; Kaleidoscopic Shopping Experience

From Plain Jane to KissJane!

From a wardrobe of blacks to kaleidoscope of colors.

Multi-brand concept; where you will find exclusive design pieces for fun, play, work AND even plus sizes.

23 Brands - 1,000 Collection - 18,000 Designs

Celestina Tiew, KissJane's cover model. I'm her regular blog reader :D

Its online shopping. without the online.

I like.

Some fun facts you ought to know.

Here's the list of local brand names housed under KissJane. Popular ones such as Traceinny, RunawayDiva, Dressabelle, etc. One is spoilt for choices, seriously! But I ain't complaining (;

KissJane has 2 outlets: Bugis Junction and CityLink Mall.

And, I'm happy to announce......

Thanks KissJane for the lovely invitation! 

The event was held @ MOF Lenas (Bugis Junction). I went there after celebrating my bro's birthday.

Benefit! Ahh.. I want all.. :x

Makeup porn! :o

Celebrity Stylist Trey Wong, was there to share with us the current fashion trends.

He was super friendly and entertaining! And, he kept "complaining" that we ain't responsive enough. Oops hahas! xD

He loves bright colors and doesn't like to wear black. Wearing bright colors instantly livens up one's mood. I so agree with that.

Here's the rack of clothes he picked from KissJane. It's mostly about bright colors.

One of the key trends is Color Blocking. It's about wearing multiple bright colors at a time, which most Singaporeans tend to shy away from.

Don't worry. You won't look like a clown wearing more than 1 bright color at a time. In fact, you'll stand out from the black-and-white crowd!

Dare to be different!

Through this fashion talk, I learnt quite a fair bit from Trey. Now, I feel more at ease with colors like yellow and orange. I never like these colors in the last 26 years of my life! SERIOUS-LY.

The bloggers, who volunteered to be models-of-the-day. Showcasing the outfits they chose from the rack of clothes.

*Nom Nom* time. Not really that excited, coz I had buffet earlier on :s

I had a piece of garlic bread, which tasted so-so.

This drink was awesome! Super refreshing, I like! I don't know what izzit called though..

The food items tasted so-so overall. Or maybe I was too full to fully experience the taste?

The OnSugarettes checking out the rack of clothes. We ain't into makeup only.

It's about beauty as a whole.

Obsessed with makeup?.. We had fun swatching the Benefit cosmetics! Here goes..
