Huney'Z World: Hand Cream

Hi Huneybees,

I was given a little surprise Stardust last week. A bag of goodies were dropped at my doorsteps and boy, was I pampered! Stardust - a one-stop store under John Little, is the place for skincare, hair care and cosmetics, housing both popular and niche beauty brands and health supplements.

I received the Pantene Color & Perm Lasting Care Shampoo & Conditioner, PureDerm Dead Sea Mud Mask (Papaya), Olay Regenerist Night Resurfacing Essence Moisturiser, Loreal Youth Code Prodigious Rejuvenating Pre-Essence and Organia Olive & Shea Butter Hand Cream.

I've tried the Pantene Color & Perm Lasting Care Shampoo & Conditioner before and if you wana know more, check out my 14-Day Healthy Hair Challenge here:

I've not tried the PureDerm Dead Sea Mud Mask yet, but I guess with the upcoming Fashion Week, it will come in handy...

When I saw the Olay Regenerist Night Resurfacing Essence Moisturiser, I jumped right into opening it and using that night. It's a moisturising essence that you can use for the night, applying it to your face and neck. The pinkish sparkly gel like essence is quickly absorbed into the skin and the morning after, you have tighter, smoother skin! LOVE it!

When applied every night, the non-greasy, fast-absorbing formula with glycolic acid works over a normal sleep cycle to give you uninterrupted exfoliation while antioxidants and moisturizers continuously provide soothing hydration to tighen skin's surface.

Hehehe, turning 30 soon, I'm definitely into anything that can reverse time and make me look young. The Loreal Youth Code Prodigious Rejuvenating Pre-Essence help boost up the effects of any skincare you put on top of it!

So, it works hand in hand with any products to get the effects you want. Extra hydration, faster Whitening speed or even look younger faster when you have anti-aging products on top. With its Pro-Gen Technology, Adenosine, Hydroxyetheylpiperazine Ethane Sulfonic Acid, it will increase the expression of recovery genes involved in cellular level, slows the effects of aging in skin and has pro-exfoliating action to improve absorption of the active ingredients.

The Organia Olive & Shea Butter Hand Cream was what I needed! With the daily handshaking, my hands had to be smooth and I was definitely lacking in moisturizing my hands. I change my nail colours every week and the nail polish remover can be very drying, so this made in korea hand cream was just nice to moisturise my fingers! :)

Hi Huneybees,

Raised by nature gathered by Gamila to nourish healthy skin

Revealing Gamila Secret - A brand of skin care from the village if Pegi'in, Galilee, Northern Isreal. Galilee is a place where time seems to have stopped for 200 years. The fertile soil feeds magnificient olive groves, orchards and fields full of herbs.

“I have committed my life to blending the healing powers of herbs to create the purest possible skin care products”.

Gamila was born and raised in the village and when her father was very young, his grandmother taught him the importance of nature in their lives. He passed this knowledge onto Gamila. Based on that knowledge, Gamila started searching for the ideal combination of wild herbs, vegetable oils and olive oil from the trees growing in the hills around her village.

This mixture, the ‘secret’ part of Gamila Secret, not only cleansed skin but also softened and healed it. She created the perfect combination for skin care because she has one very clear mission in life: to give everyone the opportunity to have healthy, beautiful skin for as long as they live.

Let me introduce their Cleansing Bar. Made from 100% natural ingredients and 15 herbs with more than 80% pure virgin olive oil that can be used as a daily cleansing bar for the face & body. They offer more than 10 scent and the one that I'm reviewing is Original.

Upon opening the box, my whole bedroom was filled with the fragrance of olive and essence oil. Just by smelling it, I felt so relaxed and was super eager to start using the cleansing bar. Something interesting about Gamila Secret is that the bars may be of the same fragrance, but they may have a different colour as certain herbs have a different colour each season...

Gamila Secret Cleansing Bars are available in ten varieties, nine of which have essential oils for added fragrance and properties that simulate the skin. It is suitable for all skin types, even sensitive ones like me Gamila Secret not only cleanses and revitalizes the skin; it also has healing qualities for people whose skin has lost its natural balance.

Olive Oil stimulates the self-protective function and through that the breathing, of the skin. The skins own moisture stays intact through the generation of natural skin oils and the restoration of the natural skin barrier. The skin can then breathe and transpire without loss of moisture. It doesn't leave the skin feeling dry and tight.

How to use the Cleansing Bar

Moisten with warm water to activate the ingredients
Apply the bar directly on face & body
Massage the creamy texture into your skin
Allow the emulsion time to permeate deeply into the skin
Rinse off

My Review

Cleansing power : 4 /5
I like that the cleansing bar is not too foamy and after cleansing, my skin feels refreshed. It is very gentle and my skin feels smoother after using. I love it! It is said to heal the skin, I'm looking forward to see its magic, since I've only used it for a week...

Scent : 4/5
The Original version smells like olive and essential oil, very refreshing and relaxing...

Price : 3/5
($46 - $63) per soap. The price is pretty steep. But the fact that it is carefully made and the process of controlled cooking, with ingredients being added at different moments to accomplish the best result, makes it a little more precious...

Overall : 3.5 /5
I like it, leaves my skin feeling refreshed and smooth, however, the pricing will make me think twice before getting it.

Gamila Secret not only offers cleansing bar. They also offers alot more product like - Face Oil, Hand Cream, Foot Balm and many more. It's been a celebrity secret!
