GLYCEL Twenty Elements Cream Review

It's about time I write a proper review on Twenty Elements Cellular Renewal Cream* by Glycel. The brand's latest release touts 20 skin-activating and stem cell repairing elements, hence its given name. I use this at night time primarily. 

Gift ideas for holiday

Christmas is just around the corner and if you've been wondering what are some good gifts for your besties (or treats for yourself, like the TATCHA set below), look no further than here:

Here I present you the Kagayaki Holiday Collection from TATCHA, the luxury skincare brand inspired by all things Japanese:

GLYCEL Hydro Firm Moisturizing Cream Review

Look what arrived on my doorstep the other day:

It's the most beautiful candle stand I"ve seen, together with a delightful moisturizer. Of course the two are linked to the same theme: birds. And birds' nest.

Emptied Products in July

I've not been diligent in the empties' project during July. Sometimes I thought it's because I've put much emphasis on getting rid the (annoying) amount of samples/deluxe samples that's been accrued in boxes and trunks, so I could have finished more full size products if not for this. I've also decided not to accrue empties in a plastic bag, instead I'll take pictures of them and will throw them away instantly; yes I'm the girl who's holding a Bioderma empty bottle and a Clarins toner bottle you saw in the morning lift ride. Anyways, here's what I have finished.

Beauty on the go: GLYCEL Collagen Prime 10000 beauty drinks review / GLYCEL Collagen Prime 10000 極緻膠原美肌飲料試飲

I've tried my first beauty drinks when I was still a teenager, at that time it wasn't a habit but more like to clear the stock my mom bought from Japan trip. Over the years I've made single attempts to delve into beauty drinks but I just couldn't make it into a habit because of the price, lol. 

GLYCEL had kindly sent me a box of their latest Collagen drinks for trial and review. They are called "Collagen Prime 10000".

我早在十八廿二既年齡已經飲過下美肌飲料, 當時只不過是減輕家中的存貨 (於日本旅行時媽買下的). 隔左咁多年, 係時候試多次依家市面類似既產品喇. 不過對我收入微薄既人黎講, 要令到美肌飲料成為每日既習慣就有 d 難度喇, 哈哈!

GLYCEL 最近寄左最新既Collagen Prime 10000 極緻膠原美肌飲料比我試, 實在黎得合時啊!!

The Do-it-all Facial machine: Overline Elite Resolution

This is my second facial treatment done at GLYCEL skin spa. I tried the newly imported machine there, called Overline Elite Resolution Oxy Face, made in Italy. Why would I say it's a do-it-all facial? The machine's got 5-in-1 functions in it and that's what makes it ideal for busy folks like me!

Glycel Aqua Power Hydra-boosting Daytime Protector SPF30 Review

When you're reading this, dear reader, I'm packing my luggage and will be flying off soon on holiday. However I do want to get this review done before vacation, so you could give it a go before deciding what moisturizer to switch to for the sweltering heat of summer, so here you go! I will have internet access and will be replying to comments though, if I'm not too exhausted from the trip ; ) !

Lately I had the pleasure to be invited to the new launch event from GLYCEL, their White Ice whitening line had left me pretty impressed last time, so I was really looking forward to their latest release. It was a very enjoyable night with hearty home-made food. 

My beauty problems answered @GLYCEL facial treatment + special offer FOR YOU

I had the luck to experiment what a proper facial treatment was like at one of the beauty centers of Glycel. The Swiss brand makes really top-notch skincare and I have been itching to share my experience with their facial treatment. One word: FABULOUSNESS.

This Week's Beauty Radar / 新品速遞

Now is the time we're at the crossroads between spring and summer, and here are the picks that has caught my eye among a sea of new launches. I'll name this section "This Week's Beauty Radar" from now on: 

First up we have Kiehl's Powerful Wrinkle and Pore Reducing Cream, and an accompany eye cream release. This had been released in the USA a bit earlier on this year and it's officially launched here in HK this month. The copper red jar packaging caught my breath instantly - as you might have guessed already - I started using Kiehl's products last year and became quite fond of their skincare, especially the Calendula toner I talked about HERE, Ultra Facial Cream HERE. Anything that targets dilated pores and first lines are totally my cup of tea:

GLYCEL White Ice Sleeping Eye Mask, Whitening Toner and Whitening Cleansing Milk reviews

Today I'll be talking about whitening products from GLYCEL - a Swiss skincare brand. The brand had released the "White Ice Series" especially in Asia for women who are after white and radiant skin. I'm not big about whitening products but I admit I do have a few spots I like to "whiten", namely my under eyes and post-breakout dark spots (eeeek!).
