How to use Covermark Moisture Veil LX?
For areas with imperfections, dab powder on sponge bit by bit and pat onto the skin to avoid creating a heavy look. Do not dampen the sponge. This may cause the foundation’s surface to harden.

My Review
Covermark was having giveaway for their Moisture Veil LX few months ago. And I am so glad that I get to win one set of this product.

Covermark Moisture Veil LX comes in refill and compact case, sold separately. 
Refill Pack and Compact Case.
The refill I got is MN50. They have quite a few shades. The beauty staff actually helps me choose the right color for my skin. :) No worries for me.

Nice Compact Case.
The compact case pack does not come with the foundation, but it comes with a sponge. :)

My Review
Huile Prodigieuse??? What's that? It is a multi-purpose dry oil for skin, hair and face. What? How to pronounce Huile Prodigieuse? Well, please don't ask me how to pronounce. Its a french word, so next time, grab a friend who knows french and ask how to pronounce the word. ;p

Ok, lets get back to the product itself. 

The Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse comes in a nice 100ml glass bottle, with the limited edition having a Miss Prodigiesue printed on it. 
Limited edition Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse
The oil itself is transparent yellowish in color. And it comes with a spray. So all I have to do is to spray the oil onto my hand and after that apply to my skin, hair or face. 
Comes in a spray bottle.
Its a very convenient oil to me, good for traveling, as I do not need to carry so many different bottles. Just one bottle of Huile Prodigieuse is enough for many things. I can use it as hair oil for my hair, lotion for my body, moisturizer for my face, oil for my makeup and I can even use it as massage oil.
how the dry oil looks like.
The most amazing part for this product is that although its oil, its not sticky or oily at all. Its "Dry" oil. I am impress by how fast its able to be absorbed without leaving any oil residue. Thumbs up for this. 

My skin feels moisturize and soft after applying. And this product gives off a nice fragrance smell. Its not too heavy, just nice for me.
After applying onto my skin.
My first reaction when I hear "oil" is oh no no for my face. But I was given the tips of mixing the oil with my foundation or BB Cream. So having use it for my skin and seeing how non oily it is, I decided to give it a try. :)

I mix about 2 drops of Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse dry oil amount with my BB Cream. In my case, I am using Nuxe Brightening Program BB Cream.
Mixing BB Cream with Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse
I mix them and then apply onto my face. And it definitely helps a lot in making my application easier. Also the results somehow looks much more nature and even then not mixing it. Most importantly, its not oily at all.
Without applying BB Cream.
After applying the BB Cream mixed with
Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse. 
And after a whole afternoon, I reach home in the evening, with my makeup (In my case, I only applied BB cream) still in place.
After 1 whole afternoon.
How about the hair?

Well, after applying my hair looks less frizzy, softer and shiny. :)
Before use.
After use.
For me, I still like to use the oil best on my skin as lotion as it really leaves a soft and moisturize feel after use. 

Just to show you Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse OR. Its the same but with shimmer.

Review: Nivea Anti-Perspirant Whitening Happy Shave

Nivea Anti-Perspirant Whitening Happy Shave (150ml)
Today review is on Nivea Anti-Perspirant Whitening Happy Shave. Thanks to SampleStore.com for sending this bottle of Nivea Happy Shave. 

This Nivea Anti-Perspirant Whitening Happy Shave is able to help reduce skin irritation after shaving. It also helps me to reduce skin darkening around my underarms after using for a week. It does keep my underarms fresh for 48hours if I do not do activities that cause me to perspire a lot. And it dry up really fast.

Nivea Anti-Perspirant Whitening Happy Shave Summary
Nivea Anti-Perspirant Whitening Happy Shave is a deodorant that provides the following benefits:
  • Reduce skin irritation from shaving.
  • Contains 95% Vitamin C and Pro-Vitamin B5 to help repair skin that is dull and damaged after shaving.
  • Whitens underarm skin for a smooth finish and even skin tone. 
  • Provide 48-hour protection against body odour and sweat. 
  • Prevents darkening of underarms caused by hair removal. 
This mild formulation, is not only a deodorant but also a skin care product for the underarms that is suitable for all skin type. 

Go to Nivea SG Facebook for more information. 

How to use Nivea Anti-Perspirant Whitening Happy Shave?
Apply after shower or when needed to freshen up.

Hold the can 15cm from the underarm and spray. Allow to dry completely. 

My Review
Thanks to SampleStore.com for sending this bottle of Nivea Happy Shave. 

The Happy Shave came in a 150ml spray bottle. 

Spray Bottle.
Its actually air + water and is easy to use. Just aim and spray. 
Spray.
Proper spray.
Although its just spray, I must say you really have to aim properly and not too close too. Otherwise like me, I accidentally spray onto my face a few times. And a few times I spray too close, I see one white patch on my underarm. But it disappear very fast. 

The Happy Shave when spray, feels really cool. And it really dry up very fast, without leaving any stain on my clothes. 

When spray, it produces a fragrance smell. But not sure if its too strong or I am allergic to the smell, after spray, I will always start to sneeze non-stop for a while. :(

I always have the wrong idea that deodorant is just for resolving odour issue for the underarm. I never know that its for underarm skin care too. 

This Nivea Happy Shave really did helps me to reduce irritation and redness after shaving. And one thing to note is that Nivea Happy Shave can be used right after shaving. :)

Not only that, after using for 1 week, I realised that it did helps me to reduce the darkening of underarm skin due to shaving. It became more even now. 
Before use.
1 week after use.
It also did help to keep my underarm fresh for 48 hours. But I notice that if I do activities that cause me to perspire a lot, this product does not really help anymore. 
I can now raise my arm to comb my hair in public in confidence when I am wearing sleeveless shirt.
Overall, it helps to reduce irritation and reduce darkening of underarm skin, making it more even. Its able to keep me fresh for 48hours but one thing that really bothers me, it cause irritation to my nose, making me sneeze non-stop for a while after use. But its still a good product to use.

Where to buy it?

Event: Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Blogger Event


I was invited to the Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Bloggers' Event held at Robinsons Heeren on 4th Oct 2014. 

I have long heard of this amazing multi-usage dry oil by Nuxe and its praises from people who have uses it. So it really makes me excited to know more about this amazing oil during the event. 

The event was held in different time slot. For me, I was the only blogger who chose that time slot. So I was lucky enough to have the whole session for myself, a privileged 1-on-1 session with the trainer during the event. :)

When I reach Robinsons Heeren, I can already see the specially setup Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse site.

While waiting, I took some nice pictures of the Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse on display. 
Nuxe Products.

From the Nuxe International Trainer from Hong Kong, Ryan, I get to finally know more about the amazing multi-usage dry oil, some tips on using them, as well as getting to know other range of Nuxe products. 

Lets talk briefly about the main product here, Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse. :)
Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse
At the event, I can actually see 4 different bottles design. 2 original bottle design and 2 limited edition bottle design. One each for Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse and Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse OR.

  • soften
  • nourish
  • repair
Its also good to know that its enrich with vitamin E and formulated with 97.8% natural ingredients, particularly 6 precious plant oils. 

Most importantly, Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse is free from: 
  • Mineral oil

  • preservatives
The Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse OR contain one more extra thing, fine mineral-origin pearls that enhances and brings out the skin's natural warm, healthy glow. 

Oh! Did I mention, it gives off inimitable fragrance too. :)

Ok back to what I did at the event. :)

Trying the oil and at the same time explanation by the trainer, Ryan. 
Trying out Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse.
It really did penetrate into my skin fast, leaving no oiliness. I can feel the smoothness after used. But I particularly like the Huile Prodigieuse OR more as it leaves my skin with a nice natural shine.

I also get to know the right way of using it on my hair. It is to spray it onto my hand, rub it and then apply it onto my hair just like combing it. Thanks for letting me know. :)

And well, the tips. This Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse can be mix in your BB Cream and produces excellent finish. Hmm....I can't wait to try this out one day. :)

I tried other Nuxe product there too. One particularly caught my attention. Nuxe Prodigieux Le Parfum. :D
Nuxe Prodigieux Le Parfum.
I don't particularly like perfume. But this Nuxe Prodigieux Le Parfum smells amazingly natural and nice. One that is not overwhelmed. Nice job done here. :) If you like Huile Prodigieuse smell, you will definitely like this perfume as they smell pretty similar.
