New purchases in March
author : ❤ 美月姫子
category : チョコレートの日
Firstly, comments all replied. Do check out the post you posted your comments in!
So, I bought quite a bit of stuff in March! Clothes...
*note: different top & skirt!
Yes, so I'm really loving this style now! Kinda "Edge Style" magazine style; Egoist. I think it's kinda like you when you graduate from Popteen, you go to Popsister and now that I am no longer loving Popsister style as much [besides, the magazine was discountinued last year due to legal issues], I'm graduating from it and going for Egoist style!
I've been putting this update off because I still have some stuff that I have yet to take pictures of... There's a nice leopard print jacket and biker jacket [I am giving 1 away too] I got them from sixxandseven for advert. So far I've worn the leopard jacket a few times and absolutely LOVE IT.
Can't wait to try the biker one! [cannot seem to find the right weather to wear it >.<]
Also bpught 2 blazers with the clothes I have some pictures from "pick" for the black blazer but not the brown one since I have yet to wear it:
Here's the brown one that I bought but yet to wear~
My super lovely Arale hat!
This checkered shirt~
Went for a shopping spree in Louis Vuitton~ I got myself a Vernis Sarah Wallet in Amarante [Wine Red]
As well as a Vernis Alma MM in Amarante [Wine Red]
^ Initially, I got the Alma MM in Blanc Corail [White] but then decided to exchange for the darkest colour instead; much easier to care for.
Still, Vernis leather is probably the hardest to care of of all the LV bags. Gotta pay more attention to colour transfer issues and imprinting... Sigh, price to pay for pretty stuff.
Went back to LV on Sunday to get another bag as well as wallet with mum. I chose the Monogram Empreinte Lumineuse PM in Infini [Dark Navy Blue] ^I took a look at the GM one, too big! I was really surprised how big PM for Lumineuse is [the PM size for Alma is small to the extent of being pretty useless.]
As well as Epi Sarah Wallet in Black Like what mummy says, this bag is also for me to use (笑) Mummy never carries bags ^^;; So I earned myself 2 bags and a wallet from LV! Courtesy to daddy for paying for everything~
Did my makeup for the SaSatinnie Celebratory Look last weekend too~ Super efficient in meeting deadline when it comes to makeup ^^;; I am still not supposed to post it up yet so here's the only preview I can provide~
Lastly, met Irene & TTJ for high tea at Haagen-Dazs on Wednesday too! ^ Ice Cream Macaroons, cute or what!
Overall, I had an AWESOME March! Going to meet TTJ tomorrow to check out the prices of ring lights! My macro one is pretty much for close ups only, when I take far shots, the ring is barely visible ): Hopefully I can come home with a buy tomorrow!
Gonna go read this manga that Tsuriki lent me right now!

[Sponsored] Neogence ACE Liposome Revitalizing Eye Serum Review
author : ❤ 美月姫子
category : Neogence
Just have to do this (笑)
The 3rd product I will be reviewing~ The Neogence ACE Liposome Revitalizing Eye Serum
Not sure if you realised, I'm actually reviewing this line in the order you should use your skin care product!
Product Shot:
I realise that instead of eye cream, this is called eye serum!
Here's how the eye serum look
Time for review, baby!
Neogence ACE Liposome Revitalizing Eye Serum Review:
Manufacturing Country: Taiwan Product Volume: 15ml
Product Ingredients: Aqua, Glycerin, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, Propylene
Glycol, Ruscus Aculeatus Root Extract, Centella Asiatica Extract, Panthenol, Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract, Hydrolyzed Yeash Protein, Aesculus Hippocastanum Extract, Ammonium Glycyrrhizate, Butylene Glycol, Carboner, Polysorbate 20, Palmitoyl Oligopeptide, Palmitoyl Hexapetide-12, Sodium Polyacrylate, Cyclopentasiloxane, Hydrogenated Polyisobutene, Squalane, Allantoin, Xanthan Gum, Chlorphenesin, Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, Tocopheryl Acetate, Retinyl Palmitate, Archis Hypogaea Oil, Tocopherol, Sodium Hyluronate, Methylisothiazolinone, Methylparaben Product Type: Gel-like
Packaging: 8/10 - Sanitary squeeze tube packaging, I like it!
Scent: 1/10 - I can't describe the smell but I don't like it =/ Smelt kind of weird. Rate of Absorption: 7/10 - It's took about 3 minutes for the eye serum to be
absorbed around my eye area.
Product Efficiency: 7.5/10 - I do not have serious wrinkles or crow feet issues so I'm not quite sure if it will help in that. However, I am starting to get darker circles these days and I did see an improvement in lightening them.
Moisturizing Efficiency: 7/10 - I don't have the problem of flaking around eye area and the product did not cause any adverse effect on me so I'm giving it a 7!
Ease of Use: 9/10 - It's gel-like, easy to spread. Availability: 7/10 - It is available exclusively at all SaSa Outlets Islandwide.
Price: -/10 - I forgot the price of this. Let me check and get back to you!
Repurchase: No. While this product works, the smell factor is really a no-no
for me =/ Overall Rating: 7.5/10
The part I didn't really like was the smell. Product efficiency wise, it definitely worked. I am pretty lazy when it comes to apply such eye products so that is part of the reason why I don't think I will repurchase it.

[Sponsored] Neogence ACE Liposome Renewal Whitening Serum Review
author : ❤ 美月姫子
category : Neogence
To tempt you~
Ready for the second product from this line? The Neogence ACE Liposome Renewal Whitening Serum
Remember what I said about the name ACE? That's because this line contains Vitamin A, C and E! Renewal, Whitening and Anti aging, all in one.
Product Shot:
The packaging is pretty much the norm for serums; in brown bottle to prevent the interaction with light.
The serum is slightly cloudy:
Remember I mentioned that the picture of the actual product is reflected on the cardboard package?
Ready for the review?
Neogence ACE Liposome Renewal Whitening Serum Review:
Manufacturing Country: Taiwan Product Volume: 30ml
Product Ingredients: Aqua, Pentylene Glycol, Lecithin, Ascorbyl Palmitate,
Tocopherol, Retinol, Sodium Hyaluronate, Ellagic Acid, Chamomilla Recutita Flower Extract, Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, Polysorbate 20, Potassium Phosphate, Butylene Glycol, Alcohol, Jojoba Wax PEG-120 Esters, Sodium Bisulfite, Disodium EDTA, Xanthan Gum, Methylparaben, Fragrance, Methylisothiazolinone, Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate Product Type: Liquid
Packaging: 8/10 - I'm not quite sure if serums are packaged in other ways
but so far all the serums I've used are packaged in such brown bottle with a little dropper for getting the serum.
Scent: 5/10 - The smell is stronger than the lotion but since it's chamomile, it's not bad at all. Rate of Absorption: 8/10 - It's took about a minute for the serum to be
absorbed into my skin.
Product Efficiency: 7.5/10 - I used it together with the other products from the same Neogence range, thus I cannot say for sure that this one is exceptionally outstanding. Overall, I did see an improvement in terms of evening my skin tone and slight whitening after 1 week.
Moisturizing Efficiency: 7/10 - I'm not quite sure about its moisturizing property since it is a "whitening product" but when used with the whole line, the moisturizing part is pretty decent.
Texture: 8/10 - It's liquid, very flow-y. I thought it might feel a little different since it looked a little cloudy but luckily, nope! [Note: it is slightly more viscous than the lotion]
Ease of Use: 9/10 - The dropper makes the dispensing extremely easy! Availability: 7/10 - It is available exclusively at all SaSa Outlets Islandwide.
Price: 8/10 - It cost SGD $67.90/30mL, which I think is slightly cheaper than
most serums [or at least the serums I've used before]. Thus, I think it's a pretty sweet deal. Repurchase: Maybe. I think this reason is getting overused but yes, I have
way too many skincare products right now so I can't really decide which one I want to repurchase. Overall Rating: 8/10
The only part where I was a little "meh" about was the colour of the serum, cloudy definitely didn't make a good first impression. However, after use, it performed well so that didn't bother me any more thereafter.

[Sponsored] Neogence ACE Liposome Intensive Whitening Lotion Review
author : ❤ 美月姫子
category : Neogence
About over a month ago, I received the whole range of Neogence ACE Liposomefrom SASA.
The first product I will be reviewing from this range will be... The Neogence ACE Liposome Intensive Whitening Lotion
Why ACE? That's because this line contains Vitamin A, C and E! Renewal, Whitening and Anti aging, all in one.
Product Shot:
I like how simple the packaging is; no frills.
The lotion is clear, so I didn't pour any out for picture.
Ready for the review?
Neogence ACE Liposome Intensive Whitening Lotion Review:
Manufacturing Country: Taiwan Product Volume: 120ml
Product Ingredients: Aqua, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, PEG-11, Methyl Ether
Dimethicone, beta-Glucan, Ascorbic Acid, Chamomilla Recutita Flower Extract, Ellagic Acid, Sodium Hyaluronate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Retinyl Palmitate, Sodium Polyacrylate, Methylparaben, Sodium Bisulfite, Ethyl, Allantoin, Xanthum Gum, Methylisothiazolinone, Iodopropynyl, Butylcarbamate, Amylodextrin, Dextrin, Silica Product Type: Liquid
Packaging: 8/10 - I like how the size of the actual product is reflected on the
outer cardboard packaging and downright accurate. Usually I will be a little "ehh" about the way the product is being dispense but since it's a lotion, I pour it onto a cotton before wiping it onto my face so it's no biggie. Another pro is that the size of the lotion is comparatively smaller than many other brands' lotion.
Scent: 4/10 - The smell is not extremely strong, only more prominent when first dispensed from the bottle. After a few seconds, the smell is a lot less intense. Besides, it's not a bad smell! Rate of Absorption: 9/10 - It's scary how fast this product gets absorbed;
after about a minute, I can almost feel nothing on my face!
Product Efficiency: 7.5/10 - I used it together with the other products from the same Neogence range, thus I cannot say for sure that this one is exceptionally outstanding. Overall, I did see an improvement in terms of evening my skin tone and slight whitening after 1 week.
Moisturizing Efficiency: 7.5/10 - For a product marketed for its whitening functions, the moisturizing aspect sure performed well.
Texture: 8/10 - It's liquid, very easy to handle since I use it on a cotton first.
Ease of Use: 8/10 - Due to the nozzle, adequate amount of lotion for the whole face will require about 4 - 5 "bottle tilts." Availability: 7/10 - It is available exclusively at all SaSa Outlets Islandwide.
Price: 7/10 - It cost SGD $26.90/120mL, tad bit higher than many brands I've
came across but since it worked, I'm not complaining. [Besides, it's in a smaller packaging so it's more portable] Repurchase: Maybe. I think this reason is getting overused but yes, I have
way too many skincare products right now so I can't really decide which one I want to repurchase. Overall Rating: 8/10
I really liked how fast it got absorbed! Besides, I always prefer to go for whitening products :3

[Sponsored] Lactacyd Intimate Wash, Daily Feminine Hygiene Wash
author : ❤ 美月姫子
category : Lactacyd
Hi Guys!
Sorry I haven't been blogging regularly. Busy about everything/ nothing. I'm not really sure. Firstly, I apologise for the late post on this. I was too caught up with revision and miscellaneous stuff that it completely slipped my mind.
Anyway, that's besides the point. I'm going to talk about importance of female hygiene! [Yes guys, that's your cue to click on the little [X] to exit]
While we strive to look our best on the outside...
We have to remember to take care of our hygiene beneath the surface. Therefore, ladies, you most certainly NEED this in your bathroom:
The Lactacyd Intimate!
You know how we use shampoo for our hair, body wash for the body and a facial cleanser for our face? That's because the optimal pH for different parts of our body is different.
Yes, we NEED different kinds of formulas for the products we use to wash different parts of our body. Lactacyd Intimate Daily Wash contains natural milk extracts that helps to preserve the intimate area and Lactic Acid that is in harmony with our vaginal pH.
As you can see, the above package I received came with 3 huge 250ml bottles of Lactacyd Intimate Daily Wash, 2 packages of wipes and 1 pump.
What I did was to change the original cap to the pump~
Of course, if you are more comfortable with the original one, you can always use that.
Normal body wash tends to be alkali. We actually need a wash that is acidic as that is the optimal pH for our V-zone. Not a very clear picture but here's how the wash look like:
Do you know, the use of feminine wash daily prevents irritation, itch and odour on a day-to-day basis, especially during periods of menstruation!
Time for review!
Lactacyd Intimate Daily Feminine Hygiene Wash: Product Volume: 250ml
Product Ingredients: Purified Water, MEgnesium Laurethsulphate/ Disodium
Laureth Sulfosuccinate, Cocamido Propyl Betaine/ Glyceryl Laurate, Glycol Distearate/ Sodium Laureth Sulfate/ Cocamide MEA/ Laureth-10, Atomised Deproteinised Whey Powder (Lactoserum), PEG-7 Glyceryl Cacote,PEG-55 Propylene Glycol Oleate, 2-Phenoxyethanol, Lindum, Lactic Acid
Packaging: 9/10 - The original packaging is good as it is [pretty much the standard for wash]. The pump just made the deal sweeter for me. Scent: 7/10 - The scent is prominent but not something that smelt nasty.
After rinsing, the smell is not detectable so no worries about that. Cleansing Power: 9/10 - Feels extremely nice and clean using this! No
uncomfortable feeling after wash. Availability: 8/10 - Girls, you should have seen this in the Feminine care
section in many places but for girls who are shy about shopping for this, you can find them in Fairprice, Guardian, Watsons and Unity Pharmacy. You definitely have one of these near you! Price: 9/10 - SGD $11.90/ 250mL. One bottle can last extremely long, thus
I find the price really economical! [P.S, it's SGD $4.95/pack of 10 wipes for the packet one] Repurchase: Definitely. It's extremely important to use the right kind of wash
for yourself! Stop using your body wash and start putting more effort in caring for your delicate V-zone. Overall Rating: 9/10
game to redeem your free Lactacyd Trial Kit!

[Sponsored] Sasatinnie 360 degree Electrifying Extreme Lengthening & Volumizing Mascara Review
author : ❤ 美月姫子
category : Sasatinnie
All or none.If I put on makeup, I will make sure I do it all the way. That means, lashes are a must!
However, not every girl likes to put on fake eyelashes. I do know girls who stick to mascara. So I'm going back to make up basics and will be talking about mascara today! [Last mascara review was for Cyber Colors!]
Here's our star of the post:
Sasatinnie 360 degree Electrifying Extreme Lengthening & Volumizing Mascara
Do you know that Sasatinnie Mascaras are made in Italy?
Close up on the brush.
The mascara requires battery for the rotating function to operate. [Battery provided]
Remove the plastic tab and you are ready to try it! This button activates the rotating function. You do NOT have to hold on to it; it turns off automatically after 90 seconds
Upon pressing the button again, the brush will now rotate anti clockwise instead of clockwise. [Clockwise for top eyelashes, Anti-clockwise for lower lashes]
Side view [sorry it's a little blur, but anyway, my lashes are barely visible]
Here's the front view of my lashes before application of mascara
After application~ Side view:
Here's a comparison of before and after mascara~ [Right eye without, left eye with]
Sasatinnie 360 Degree Electrifying Extreme Lengthening & Volumizing Mascara in Black: Manufacturing Country : Italy
Product Weight : 8.5g
Product Ingredients: Isodedecane, Synthetic Beeswax, Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) Wax, Iron Oxides, Cl 77499, Dextrin Palmitate, Hydrogenated Styrene/ Isoprene Copolymer, Jasminum Grandiflorum (Jasmine), Flower Wax, Cetearyl Ethylhexanoate, Bis-hydroxyethoxypropyl Dimethicone/ IPDI Copolymer Ethylcarbamate, Polyhydroxystearic Acid, Caprylyl Gylcol, Caprylyl Methicone, Phenoxyethanol, Hexylene Glycol. Packaging: 8.5/10 - I guess we can say, not much can be expected from the
variation in design for a tube of mascara. I do like the pink and grey prints on the black tube a lot though. Ease of application: 9/10 - I don't even have to move my fingers/hand much.
Just press a button and all is automatic!
Proneness to clumping : 3/10 - The above pictures were captured after one coat of mascara for the top lashes and I don't see any big clumping problems.
Lengthening: 6/10 - Though dubbed as lengthening, the effect is meagre. However, do take into consideration that I have not used this long enough, so it could be my technique that caused the shortfall in my expectation.
Volumiz-ing: 8.5/10 - From the picture, you can see my lashes definitely looked a lot darker and look denser. Not as non-existent like before. Curl Lasting Power: 8/10 - It held my curled lashes up for over 7 hours before I removed it. Not sure it it might have lasted longer though. Availability: 7/10 - Sasatinnie can be found in all SaSa shops! I do know
that SaSa has quite a few shops in Singapore [see list here] and they are pretty accessible :3 Yes, it is exclusively available at SaSa, which is why you don't see it anywhere else. Price: N/A - I am not quite sure how much it cost. >.> Sorry about that
Repurchase: Maybe. I seldom use mascara as I am afraid of the hassle it
brings in cleaning my falsies/ cleansing it off my eye lashes. Overall Rating: 8/10
I really liked how much volume it gave my lashes and made it a lot darker! Good alternative if I'm not feeling falsies.
Do join SaSa's Facebook Page HERE for more news and information about products and promotions!

Filler alert :3
author : ❤ 美月姫子
category : バニラの日
Yes, I have a few post coming up but I don't know what happened to chrome, left they half edited overnight and they all disappeared the next morning, black document. Gosh, terribly upset because I spent so much effort, which explains the lack of motivation again. Nonetheless, I will get they re-done by today!
Meanwhile, my Hello Kitty is just too squishy ^^
Anyway, my hair is no longer purple x ash blonde.
You won't be seeing my new colour in the next few post [since I took the pictures with my black brown wig earlier] Soon~ *ps. comments replied*

Meh, I'm busy feeling sick and lousy right now. Shouldn't have drank so much on empty stomach last night [or this morning?] Now my gastric is killing me.
I do want to do a quality post but it seems inevitable... I shall just show you my cover pictures for my FB page and personal FB.
Sudden urge to go dark. Should I?
Meeting lovely girls later, LOVE :3 I shall bring camera out to take pictures!
That aside, Neogence post spams coming soon!
