8 Innovative & Interesting Finds At BeautyAsia 2018

| |
Hi Huneybees,


BeautyAsia 2018 is back for its 22nd run this year and today I've dropped by to check out on what's new and innovative in the cosmetics, skincare and beauty market globally.  Exhibitors hailing from China, Croatia, Hong Kong, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand and Taiwan, a total of 124 exhibitors have gathered at Suntec City Singapore, Convention Centre to showcase their products.

Here are a few that I find refreshing and I hope we can see them in the Singapore market soon...


1) Frais Vent (Neosilk Human Collagen I)

Who doesn't want baby smooth skin? But with so many products out there with different chemicals, our sensitive skin might not even be able to take it. Developed using Japan's latest technology, HITO is the world's first collagen to use Type 1 collagen ( a new material extracted from silkworm cocoon which has the same amino acid composition as human skin ) as a cosmetics raw material in skincare.


This range of skincare products named as Frais Vent includes Cleansing Lotion, Facial Wash, Lotion, Essence and Facial Cream. With the Essence highly loved and recommended for it consists of 10 Human Collagen I.


All their products are Fragrance Free, Alcohol Free, Colouring Free, with No Parabens, No Mineral Oil and No Animal Derived Ingredients. They are currently under the distributor Shower trading Singapore and you can go to www.neosilksg.com for more information.


2) Purple 8 Skin Care Drink

Founded by Gorgeous Skin Company in Singapore, comes a skincare drink infused with Cocoa Flavanols, hydrating water, and rich vitamins derived from blueberries and strawberries to give you the daily serving skin care benefits. 1 bottle a day will help give your skin the best rejuvenation and nutrition by stimulating micro-circulation and improving blood flow; your skin is more hydrated, more firm and elasticity is improved, together with protection against excessive UV and sun exposure.


This bottle of purple drink is low in calorie and taste amazing. It feels like drinking Ribena and it's very refreshing for our warm weather. Purple 8 is currently already available at selected local stores and for more information, go to www.purple8.com.sg.



3) Vitastiq

New Year calls for New Goals. If you are looking to adopt a healthier lifestyle , you are making conscious efforts to change your habits and looking to sustain this lifestyle, you can check out the Vitastiq.


Tracking what you lack and targetting which are the vitamins that you need, is what this little pen device can do to aid you. With a simple reference point touch on the fingers combined with EAV methodology based in traditional Chinese acupuncture and smart technology, you can track the levels up to 24 vitamins and minerals like Biotin, Vitamin C, Vitamin B1, Zinc, Iodine, Coenzyme Q10, Sodium, Calcium, etc.

All the readings can easily be tracked and stored with the app you can download into your smartphones via Bluetooth. Go to www.vitastiq.com for more information.



4) Venna Beauty and Wellness

Under the FABLife booth, I saw some miracle at work. For those with acne, blemishes, eczema or scar problems, there is a natural and organic way to "cure" and reveal your true smooth skin underneath.



The Venna RICE SPA tea tree powder formula has no artificial coloring, no talc, no raw animal materials, no mineral oil and no artificial fragrant. Made entirely of rice enzyme powder, oatmeal extract, multigrain, aloe vera and tomato extract, together with seaweed extract, tea tree oil, peppermints essential oil, polyphenols; it's literally so natural, you can eat it! This powder can be mixed with water to scrub your face, be used as a mask or even be used to lightly remove makeup.



Seeing the results above before and after the scrub, my skin feels so clean, smooth and bright. They have shown us several testimonies and even Alice, their Singapore distributor has shown us the drastic difference in her skin and she didn't even put on any makeup and her skin looked amazing! So envious ~~~


Of course, beauty also comes from within, from your diet. Venna Indox helps purify the body with the help of Natural Fruits Veggie Enzyme. Taking 1-2 sachet a day, mixing the powder with water, will help detox the body, and thus lead to better skin too. other benefits also include Liver Protection, Regulate Body Functions, Cell Revitalisation, Purify Colon and Boost Immunity.

You can go to www.venna.com.my and https://www.facebook.com/fablifestylealwaysaspire/ for more information.






5) Organic Soap Nuts

Soap suds and water from our laundry can be harmful to the earth for the chemicals found in our laundry. Soap nuts, also called berry shells have Saponin, a type of natural soap that works as surfactant, breaking the surface tension of water to penetrate the fibers of your clothing, lifting stains and dirt.


It is a natural organic way and each load of laundry only requires 4-5 of these nuts in the small pouch provided. Soap Nuts are gentle on both clothes and skin, making them ideal for those with sensitive skin, eczema, allergies and psoriasis.



Under the booth Kayja's Fortune International, they also offer lots of other organic and natural products and they also have a slimming product called BodyLight that is endorsed by Jennifer Lopez. I got myself a box and I'll share the review with you progressively.


For more information on where to get the Soap Nuts and Kayja's Fortune International, go to www.nidomeyer.com.



6) Orchid Skin

Once again, my eyes for packaging has taken over. As I was walking by the booths, The Orchid Skin booth from Korea was the cutest!

The adorable Princess characters on all their products will make such good gifts, ranging from cosmetics to skincare all the products have Orchid Flower extracts. The hand cream especially smells heavenly, the moment I applied it on and my hands felt very moisturising and smooth after that.

Presented by FYT Trading Enterorise, you can visit The Orchis Skin Showroom at Lavender Place to purchase and also test out the products. For more information, go to https://www.facebook.com/groups/369461966846975/about/.


7) SOKY Aminow

As I walked towards the end of the convention, a bathtub caught my eyes. Walking near, I spotted this transparent blob that reminds me of the raindrop cake. Named as the aminow Dew Soap, weighing at 100g, this is a bath bar soap that contains more than 60% of Amino Complex, dermatologist tested, and also free of paraben, benzopenone, triethanolamine, mineral oil, artificial colours, and sulfate surfactant!



Amino Complex is 1/3000 size of collagen, which is much more easier to be absorbed by the skin, keeping your skin moisturized and healthy.


In the series is also a blue water droplet blob that's like jelly, named as the Aqua Jelly Soap. Put together in the pouch given and mixed with water, this jelly foams up and then you can use it to wash your face!

For more information, you can visit their website www.soky.kr. If you are familiar with the Korea online shopping scene, you can also go to www.seedbee.co.kr to purchase the items.


8) Beauty City Gorgeous Diamond

Magnetic patches on acupuncture point are not unheard of, but what about Swarovski sticker patches on your ears that look like you have multiple ear piercings? Isn't it pretty and also health beneficial?

Hailing from Taiwan, this creative product makes use of the different acupuncture points on the ears to help firm your skin, detox, cure migraine, stop constipation and sinuses or even stop irregular menses.


Once pasted on, the stickers can last for about 3 days, the sticker part is porous, so don't worry about water being trapped. As for the colours of the "earrings", there are 48 different colours for you to choose from. You can add them on WeChat, userid beautycity888 to chat and ask for more information.


Ok! So this is what I've found so far. I'll be going back again tomorrow to get some of the products and do look out for my review of them. Hope you will find these beauty products interesting too and hope to see most of them in local stores too...


Held from 26th to 28th February 2018, beauty mavens and industry professionals can drop by to discover the latest beauty and wellness products and services through a series of product demonstrations, educational workshops, and trade talks.

Summer Play With M.A.C x Steve J & Yoni P

| |
Hi Huneybees,


After building so much hype, this June, we can finally see the launch of  M.A.C. x Steve J. & Yoni P. collection. It's nice to see more and more Asian collaborations and this K-wave collection is definitely for those who loves a natural look with a pop of colour.

Photo: http://www.nylon.com.sg
For those who don’t already know, Steve J & Yoni P are a Korean design couple that are currently on the global fashion radar. They are known for their spunky yet sporty aesthetic that is streetwear ready with a dramatic touch.


And this collection makes good pairing with their fashion line. The packaging literally screams Yoni P in your face with her signature blonde locks and bold eyeliner look, it is plastered all over the boxes and even the products inside as well. 

Photo: sense7en.com
This new collection includes four lipsticks, two powder blushes, a potted eye gloss, a black mascara, two powder eyeshadow duos, a six-pan lip and cheek cream palette, a makeup bag and two brushes.

For me, I was aiming for the makeup bag, I find it as the highlight of the collection and I knew I had to get it, It makes a good storage for your makeup needs and also as a clutch bag for parties (why not right?); with a mirror within, you can easily touch up your makeup on the go.


Another product that is pocket worthy, would have to be the Yoni Attraction lip/cheek palette. 6 shades ranging from baby pink to bright corals and bubblegum pinks can be found all in one palette. The creamy opaque formula makes it easy to pick up and blend out, you can swipe and tap lightly on your cheeks for a flush of colour or use a lip brush for your lip shades, definitely travel friendly.




  • Keep It Loose Casual Colour – warm pink
  • Secret Admirer Casual Colour – bright coral
  • Young at Heart Casual Colour – bright pink
  • Weekend Getaway Casual Colour – cool rose
  • Lazy Sunday Casual Colour – baby pink
  • Show Orchid Lipstick – very hot pink (amplified)

Left: Sugar or Syrup
Right: Peony Petal

,
If you are not fans of the cream formula, there are also 2 powder blushers - Sugar or Syrup and Peony Petal that suit your warm or cool needs. They give your cheeks a subtle sheen of flush, pretty pigmented and blends out easily, but might seem a tad too light for those with darker skin tones. 

Left: Sugar or Syrup
Right: Peony Petal

You can see the colours "in action" in the video above.


Left: Touch Me Baby
Right: Midnight Fever
Next are the eyeshadow duos. Nothing fancy, just 2 palettes that will work great for day and night looks. Touch Me Baby is a combo of Soba (soft brown with gold shimmer) and Keep on Twinkling (light frosted pink), whilst Midnight Fever features Let’s Boogie (black with sparkles) and Sparkling Moment (black with purple & red sparkles).



Soba makes a great contour crease shade, whilst Keep on Twinkling draws attention to your eyes as you blink. They are not too shiny and are great shades for a day look with black eyeliner.
Of course, the Dazzleshadow duo makes great night shades with Sparkling Moment all over lid and Let’s Boogie to contour or line the lashes. You can even spray on a little Fix+ for more intensity.

Lastly, are the lipsticks! 4 shades to match the eyeshadow duos for different looks, different occasions.  

They are opaque, full opacity with just a single swipe, moisturizing and fun shades to have this summer. Candy Yum Yum is a regular shade, but the cute packaging just gives you an excuse to buy another. 

💟💟💟 So happy to be amongst the first few in Singapore to play with M.A.C's latest Steve J & Yoni collection. This is my Korean inspired #motd using the products from the collection. 💟💟💟 - On Eyes: ● Touch Me Baby Eyeshadow Duo on lids and brows ● This Is My Night Brown Eyeliner from the Mariah Carey collection ● I used @toofacedcosmetics Better Than Sex Mascara (Waterproof) rather than the Zoom Lash Mascara from the collection for it's not waterproof - On Face: ● Lightful C Quick Finish Compact (Light) ● Lightful Powder (NC30) ● Powder Blush (Peony Petal) - On Lips: ● Lipstick (A Killing Smile) - - - - - @maccosmetics @maccosmeticssg #macion #MACSJYP #beautyjunkie #beautyaddict #makeup #makeuplover #bbloggers #bblogger #instamakeup #sgmakeup #sgigmakeup #sgigbeauty #makeupjunkie #cosmetics #sgbloggers #sgblogger #HuneyZWorld #instalike #instafollow #beauty #Singapore #makeupaddict #instabeauty #selfie #instalike
A post shared by Huney'Z World (@huney_84) on



My favourite shade is A Killing Smile. It is a matte formula, but not drying at all. It is a very pretty crossover of red and coral, a special shade that you must have to add to your collections! Above is me wearing ths lipstick shade and swatches of others as below.



As for the eye gloss, I find it too close to the Brooke Candy collection, so I didn't get and didn't swatch; and the mascara is simply the Zoom Lash mascara in a different packaging. Be mindful though, it is not waterproof.
Overall Thoughts
If you a sucker for packaging (I know I am!) or M.A.C addict, go ahead and pick out a few of the items that you need. However, the range of colours are not as bold as the packaging, they are what I would call safe colours, that are good for natural day/night looks, which I guess guarantees fast sell-outs. I was also a little disappointed that there's a lack of eyeliner though, coz Yoni P definitely does her eyeliner on point, a black waterproof piece would be perfect to round off the collection eh?
The collection will be in stores 1st June 2017. So be sure to go early to GRAB! #MACSJYP

[What's New] Swatching The M.A.C Cosmetics Mineralize Skinfinish Pinwheels Pans

| |
Hi Huneybees,


M.A.C Cosmetics is definitely making my pockets bleed this month with their amazing collection launches and one that I am looking out for this weekend is their Mineralize Skinfinish Collection. With strobing and face contouring being the 'IN' thing now, these pinwheel pans are a must-have in all our cosmetic bags.


Introducing Mineralize Skinfinish in five limited-edition shade waves from Faintly Fabulous to Sunny Side and Perfectly Lit. Baked together in a single pan, each palette features four complementary shades in a pinwheel design that can be applied alone or swirled together for a healthy glow. For a delicate, lasting finish, apply with the 137 Brush or the 133 Brush for each shade individually. Go on – give it a swirl.
Be it for highlighting or contouring the face or giving your cheeks a little blush, these 5 pinwheel pans will be good to have, especially for the light travellers. The colour payoff is really good with a simple swipe and every skin tone beauty, will be able to find one for themselves. Here's my swatch of the colours...



FAINTLY FABULOUS
