6 Beauty Tricks to Look Good this Upcoming Festive Season!

Christmas (and a brand new year) is just around the corner and I bet you are sourcing for inspirations on what to get for your loved ones this time. Makeup, skincare, haircare? We got you covered on the different gift ideas to consider so you need not scramble around to find the perfect one! Or if you want to start looking fabulous and rejuvenated for your intimate home parties, these are the perfect last-minute beauty products to invest in!

Meishoku Medicated Placenta Whitening & Anti-aging Eye Cream ($13.90)

The year has got us all so hectic and sick of the pandemic life - do you find your eye area getting darker and saggier? Because I do. I have always known that the eye area is a super delicate area, and it is vital to start caring for it from as young as 25. If you are as clueless as me on what kind of eye cream first-time users should try, then you should definitely consider the Meishoku Medicated Placenta Whitening & Anti-aging Eye Cream ($13.90). Enriched with Placenta, a medicated whitening ingredient, the benefits of this cream will penetrate deep into the skin, suppressing the production of melanin and making the skin clear and transparent without spots or dullness. It also protects against fine lines and wrinkles. Need I say more? This is the perfect gift for yourself or for your BFF!

Fujiko Ponpon Powder ($25.90)

This new kind of haircare powder makes it a unique gift for your loved ones if you don’t want to settle for mainstream items! Beyond an ordinary dry shampoo, the Fujiko Ponpon Powder ($25.90) not only absorbs any excess sebum on the scalp and hair, but the ceramide ingredients also retain moisture and smoothness, hence adding a natural volume and soft fluffy finish! I personally tried and tested this product, and I love the instant volume it gives to my hair! Additionally, it comes with a sweet floral scent that every girl would be attracted to.

Pelican Medicinal Soap for the Back ($8.90)

The back is an area that most people tend to neglect, yet in Singapore’s humid season all year round, ladies tend to wear strapless or low back tops very often. You sure don’t want your back looking dull and red with noticeable pimples. Pelican Medicinal Soap for the Back ($8.90) is a medicated soap containing coal and mud that are effective ingredients to treat pimples and acne. This bar soap will be able to help you achieve your flawless back, cleanse it thoroughly, clear up the clogged pores, keeps it moisturized, and make sure that the pimples do not act up easily again!

DHC Vitamin C 120 Tablets, for 60 Days ($11.90)

Vitamin C is a known essential nutrient for all ages - from young kids to the elderly. Vitamin C is known for many great health benefits and some of which is the production of collagen and repairing of tissues. Collagen is the key to glowy radiant skin! Skip the collagen broth soup from your favorite hotpot restaurant and take these DHC Vitamin C supplements ($11.90 for 120 tablets, 60 days supply) instead! 20 days, 30 days, and 90 days supply are also available!

AVANCE Eyelash Serum ($19.90)

I know I am not alone in trying every hack on the internet to achieve long and thick eyelashes. Fret not, here is a life-saver that will attain longer, thicker and glossier eyelashes! The No.1 Eyelash Serum in Japan, AVANCE Eyelash Serum ($19.90) promotes eyelash growth, strengthens and moisturizes it to prevent eyelash loss through the usage of eyelash curlers and mascaras. All you have to do is apply on clean eyelashes for 2 to 3 times, once in the morning and night, and you will see results in 2 to 3 weeks!

Tried and tested! And I could really see slight results with just frequent usage for a week! Now i know why this eyelash serum is one of the best-selling products in Japan for the past 10 years!

Ceruru.b Placenta Face Mask Plus+ ($35.90)

Hard to find a sheet mask that contains placenta - a popular ingredient women will source for to achieve beautiful youthful skin! Comes in 5 individually packed sheets, the Ceruru.b Placenta Face Mask Plus+ ($35.90) is super moist when I first unseal it. After 20 mins and patting of the remaining essence, I woke up in the morning and found that my sunblock and makeup products were much easier to apply - a smooth glide! It is a great gift to reward and pamper yourself, or for nights when you have a staycation with your friends and masking will be a great bonding activity!
