Remember how much I adore the pimple gel from Acnes Mentholatum? I was just checking my email minutes earlier and am pleased and surprised to see that I have been selected for Acnes Blogger campaign of the year and won a hamper!
The blogger contest runs on Fr3b and top 3 most voted blog entries will win a year’s supply of Acnes skincare! How exciting!!!

i know, i know. i’m sucha product whore. whoever shouts HG about anything to clear acne, i wanna try. sheesh. here’s my latest list…
Ly-Na Pearl Cream- But hey! more than 3 beauty bloggers have raved about it… now, given their ‘expertise’ in beauty products, i think there’s some truth to this pearl cream eh? Besides, pearl powder is known to be good for clearing up acne AND lightening spots! AND it’s cheap!! I think it’s about S$8 for a tub? Doesn’t matter if it doesn’t work, just use it up on your knees or elbows!
EGF何首烏睫毛眉毛增長液 – it’s a lash growth serum, something like talika. i figured that it’s worth a try since it’s only about S$25 or so… much cheaper than S$80+ for talika!
Mentholatum Acnes acne gel & sunblock. This range by Mentholatum (yeah, the cute milkmaid logo) has been widely raved in many Asian countries! It contains anti-bacterial ingredients to help cleanse, prevent & work against acne.
Pity they’re almost non-existent in SG. But I found a source that sells the products for S$18-S$20.
Kiss Me Concealer for dark circles! Looks realllllly good! Only S$22
Utena whitening mask, foundation & sunblock. Sis is so in lurvvvvvee with this brand. Says that its sunblock really helps to lighten the freckles on her cheekbone, and makes a great makeup base too. Non-oily (yea, I’ve tried!). Basic Beauty has the products, but they’re more expensive than my supplier! Eeks! I can get these at about S$18! The SPF18 creams contain medicinal herbs, and they can be used as a makeup base. Talk about being multi-functional!
