Trimton 2 速效瘦

I have been battling with weight issues since young. The word 'slim' never did appear in my dictionary somehow. And so, I always jump at the opportunity to try out new diet supplements... though I perfectly know that exercise is the way to go.

Anyway, I recently had the chance to try out out this diet pill called Trimton 2

Trimton 2 [$118 / 60pills] was launched in Singapore not long ago. It is known as 'Hong Kong's No.1 Best Selling Slimming Pills' - for reducing oil and burning fats.

PS: To be frank, the box is kinda too big to house this small bottle of pills.

Judging from its natural extracts that include Green Coffee Bean, Grapefruit, Purple Rice, Green Tea and HCA (from Garcinia Cambogia), the pill seems pretty safe for consumption.

Product Description:
Trimton 2 is focus on weight loss in the natural way:

  • Breakthrough E.Microen Technology stimulates the effect brought by the natural ingredients
  • Oil-blocking effect in intestines
  • Effectively blocks out and dissolves oil from food intake up to 80%

Targets fatty area:

  • Increases body heat at fatty area and burns fat
  • HCA and Chlorogenic Acid help body to prevent fat storing
  • Effectively reduces body fat percentage


Treatment:
Use Trimton 2 for 3 months as a treatment. The suggested dosage is 2 pills daily with warm water - 1 for breakfast / lunch and 1 for dinner.

Before taking up the sponsorship, I did my research and found out that a few lucky ones lost a considerable amount of kilos by taking Trimton 2. Needless to say, I was in awe and wanted to try this out for myself... hoping to get the same results.

I read online that the Hydroxycitric Acid (HCA) extract from Garcinia Cambogia suppresses appetite by increasing serotonin levels. And, I really did find myself eating lesser than usual after taking the pill. The reading on the weighing scale remains the same but I did notice that my tummy look slightly less bloated than before. Well, perhaps my body fat percentage has dropped? Anyway, do note that results vary with individuals. So far, I am glad to say that there are no side effects e.g. diarrhea.

If you are interested in getting Trimton 2, it is available exclusively in Guardian.

AFC Tsubaki Collagen DX

In this post, I will be talking about the new and improved version of the award-winning AFC Tsubaki Perfect Beauty drink - Tsubaki Collagen DX.

Tsubaki Collagen DX - $55.98 (before GST) is a highly concentrated and intensive beauty drink with proven results:

  • brightens and even out skin tone for a healthy, luminous glow
  • reduces appearance of wrinkle, fine lines, and open pores
  • reduces pigmentation spots and scars on the skin
  • intensely hydrates and firms the skin

Thanks to Lifestream Group Singapore, I was among the first few to try out this product before it was launched to the public.

One box contains 10 bottles of Tsubaki Collagen DX drink (50ml).

Each bottle of Tsubaki Collagen DX contains 10,000mg Micro-Collagen Peptides, 500mg Royal Jelly, Tsubaki Bio-Cell Activator, Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin Bs & C

The recommended dosage is 1 bottle daily nightly for the 1st month (for quick replenishment of skin nutrients), followed by 1 bottle on alternate day night for the 2nd and 3rd month. 

Well, 10 days might not be a good gauge for its real effectiveness. I shall briefly share my thoughts on Tsubaki Collagen DX.

I took it every night before I head to lalaland. It is best taken before bedtime, as skin renewal takes place at night (in case you are wondering why). Taste-wise, I find it a lil' sweet but I like it anyway since it has no weird (fishy) taste. Yummy peach (and acelora) taste! By the way, it taste a lot better when chilled.

And so, I did notice a slight improvement in my complexion... looks brighter and more hydrated somehow. My makeup adheres better and stays longer too. I believe the results will be even better if I were to consume Tsubaki Collagen DX on a long term basis. 

Thank you for reading!

The Body Shop’s Upcoming Launches feat. Vitamin E Serum-in-Oil, Spring Trend Makeup Collection & Blueberry Body Care Range

Few weeks ago, I had a sneak preview of The Body Shop’s exciting upcoming launches - Vitamin E Serum-in-OilSpring Trend Makeup Collection & Blueberry Body Care Range.

The event started with the introduction of Vitamin E Overnight Serum-in-Oil, the new addition to the Vitamin E range. Waking up with skin looking refreshed and more radiant is now achievable with this bottle of wheatgerm oil goodness! 

Vitamin E Overnight Serum-in-Oil [S$42.90 / 28ml] is a technical innovation that combines the power of a serum with the indulgence of an oil to replenish and recharge skin with moisture overnight. A perfect combination of potent ingredients and leading skincare technology, the advanced serum blend is light-weight and delicate, providing a fast-absorbing, non-greasy application. Suitable for all skin types.

PS: Samples were given to 126 women and they reported waking up with beautifully refreshed and revived skin appearance, with that blissful recharged, replenished feeling and rested look. 90% of women agreed that the product feels light on skin. And, skin is highly moisturised for up to 24 hours!

 
What's in it?
High concentrations of wheatgerm oil - the highest in the Vitamin E range. Wheatgerm is the nutrient-rich centre of the wheat seed, and it is highly concentrated in Vitamin E. Wheatgerm oil is one of nature’s highest sources of antioxidant Vitamin E.

How to use?
Ideal for all skin types, Vitamin E Overnight Serum-in-Oil can be used every night, before moisturizing, or as a treatment when skin needs an extra boost. To be applied on cleansed and toned skin.

Ways of using it: 

  • Apply after cleansing and toning, on its own as part of your night time regime (refer to the image above for the application technique).
  • Mix with night cream. Scoop out a small amount of your night cream into the palm of your hand. Gently blend together with a few drops of your Vitamin E Overnight Serum-in-Oil and apply over the face.
  • Use occasionally as a boosting treatment.
  • Apply to targeted areas to combat dryness.

Next was the introduction of the Spring Trend Makeup Collection.

The highlight of this collection is none other than the limited edition Hair Chalk [S$9.90 each].

For the uninitiated, Hair Chalk is the IN thing in 2014! It is a quick, easy and affordable way to add temporary bold colors to your hair.

Available in two 'hair-raising' shades:

  • Tickle Me Pink - a playful pink that pops on blondes
  • Falling For Blue - a bright blue that is electric on brunettes 

Whether it is for single strands that pop with colour, an ombré look or a funky two-tone twist, The Body Shop Hair Chalk provides a fun, DIY splash of colour.

Apply, wear, and wash-out. It is that easy. 

Transform your look with these beautiful blue and pink shades! 

The Body Shop Spring Trend Makeup Collection also include these complementary shades of best-selling Shimmer Cubes Palette and Flavored Lip Gloss ♡

The new shimmery Flavored Lip Gloss - 53 Rose [middle] & 12 Vanilla [right] retail for S$16.90 each.

These new Shimmer Cubes Palette - 26 Poppy Pink & 30 Gorgeous Bronze retail for S$36.90 each. 

If you have yet to try their best-selling Shimmer Cubes Palette, you really ought to get one of these (or maybe both!). Fyi, these well-pigmented babies were swatched dry and the colors are just oh-so-pretty!

For a sweet romantic look, get Poppy Pink [01 garden rose, 02 deep fuchsia, 03 light coral, 04 champagne pink]!

For a neutral smoky look, get Gorgeous Bronze [01 rich espresso, 02 burnished gold, 03 dusty fawn, 04 warm copper]!

Camwhoring with Maybeline!

Last but not least, we had a pampering hand scrub/massage session with The Body Shop Blueberry Body Care Range.

In celebration of the iconic Body Butter range, their very latest addition – Special Edition Blueberry is a rich, creamy body butter jam-packed with uplifting blueberry fragrance. 

  • Blueberry Body Lotion - light & fluffy lotion with rich, velvety natural ingredients
  • Blueberry Shower Gel - soap-free & lather-rich shower gel with uplifting blueberry scent
  • Blueberry Sponge - cute chirpy-looking blueberry bath sponge that whips up a lather and is soft on skin
  • Blueberry Body Scrub-Gelee - gentle exfoliating scrub that leaves skin smelling like freshly picked blueberries
  • Blueberry Lip Butter - buttery texture that melts onto the lips for instant hydration

Never leave this tub of Blueberry Body Scrub-Gelee in the kitchen! It smells and looks so deceptively delish that one might mistake it for the real thing (blueberry jam)... don't say I never warn you!

Ooo... it was love at first sight upon seeing this super cute blueberry bath sponge. It instantly brought a smile on my otherwise weary face (: 

Okay, that's all for now. I am off to enjoy an invigorating, blueberry-bursting experience with these blueberry goodies now!
