Product Review: BeautyBiotics Exfoliating Jelly

Received my BeautyBiotics Exfoliating Jelly from SampleStore.com about 2 weeks ago. 

Here's the product.

Exfoliating Jelly is a dermatologically formulated gentle exfoliating peel that helps unclog pores, remove
impurities and dead skin to enhance your skin’s absorption of nutrients. It contains fruit derived AHA + BHA enzymes that gently exfoliates skin to restore clarity, brilliance and radiance.

Directions:
Ensure that the face is completely dry. Dispense and apply exfoliating jelly onto the face and massage deeply in a circular motion until you see impurities and dead skin exfoliated. Wash face with water and pat dry. Use once to twice weekly.

Caution:
For external use only. Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct heat and light. Stop using the product immediately if you develop allergic reaction. Product ingredients may increase your skin's sensitivity to the sun. Always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen rater SPF 15 or greater every day and avoid prolonged sun exposure.

Product Review: Essential Sleeping Hair Mask

Look what came in the mail! I received my sponsored Essential Sleeping Hair Mask from SampleStore.com about a week ago but was too busy doing revision for my finals to do a review on it :/ So I tried to squeeze in time to complete this review!

For those of you who haven't heard of Samplestore.com, it is the leading online try-vertising platform in Singapore. You get to try out skin care & hair products etc. before buying the "full-sized" product. This idea actually intrigued me when I first received their flyer in the mail recently. I used to purchase many products which I ended up not using because they don't suit me or didn't live up to their claims. So for those of you who don't want to end up wasting money, try this out! All you have to do is register on their website, select 4 samples you want to receive and wait for your free* samples!

*Do note that they charge a fixed price of $5.99 for shipping and handling fee unless you pick all 4 samples from the "Sponsored Samples" Tab.

So here's the two products I received from SampleStore.com.

On the right is the Essential Sleeping Hair Mask and the left is the Essential Leave On Serum.

For those of you who are tired of wake up with frizzy and unmanageable hair every morning, look no further, here's a product that actually works to tame that lion mane of yours! So what actually causes your hair to become frizzy the next morning when you wake up? When sleeping, tossing and turning causes hair to rub against the pillow, creating friction. Such friction caused by the pillow is called Pillow Friction. Pillow Friction causes the hair cuticles to open up unevenly, resulting in rough, frizzy or prone to tangles hair. These hair damage caused by pillow friction are known as Pillow Damage. As a result of Pillow Damage, bed hair occurs (or "lion mane", as most people would call it).

To solve this problem, you usually have no choice but to wash your hair in the morning. Washing your
hair ‘resets’ the uneven alignment of hair cuticles and makes hair smooth and manageable again.
However, by having to wash hair in the morning, you would have to wake earlier and sacrifice your beauty sleep. Now here's an alternative solution to the bed hair caused by Pillow Damage: Essential Sleeping Hair
Mask. It protects each hair strand and minimizes Pillow Damage when you toss and turn about when sleeping.

So does the sleeping hair mask actually work?

 The top of my head is quite frizzy and it gets worse later on in the day ):

But because I did hair rebonding a year ago, it's actually still quite smooth and not that frizzy at the bottom. Though I have quite a lot of split ends, it can't be seen in the photo :/
