Review: Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Jelly
Even since a few years ago, I have been religiously putting on sun screen on my body, or rather any exposed parts of my body, like my arms, legs and even on my feet. As much I hate the lingering sticky feel of the sun block on my bare skin, I tolerated with it.
I am always in search of THE perfect everyday body sunblock and I am glad that I finally found it.
Item name: Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Jelly SPF30 PA+++
Price: I presumed it is fairly reasonable as I bought it in a drugstore in Taiwan.. It was either TWD 199 or TWD 299, I cannot recall.
Description: A new series of water-based sunscreen innovation from Japan that provides lasting protection against both UVA and UVB radiation. It is light, non-sticky, and easy to smear on the skin as the protection-enriched UV Aqua Jelly Capsule turns into water once applied, allowing the skin to absorb it very quickly and easily. With combination of Hyaluronic Acid and Mix Citrus Essence from grapefruit, orange, and lemon extracts, the new product also provides anti-wrinkle effect by helping the skin retain its moisture and softness.
Refreshingly cool and quick-drying, suitable for both facial and body skin.
Pros: I have very little expectations from a body sunscreen, I just want it to absorbed fast, no strong sunscreen smell and my skin should not feel sticky after application. This sunblock fulfills all my expectations.
It comes in a squeeze tube bottle, the quantity is 90ml and is made in Japan.
Cons: It is not listed in my local Biore website, so most probably my local drugstore might not stock it.
Conclusion: I definitely love this sunblock and I would definitely repurchase it (that is, if I can manage to find it). As for now, this sun block suits my average daily needs, I am typically out in the sun for a short while, like walking to the bus stop in the mornings and for lunch. I am not too sure if it is heaty-duty enough to protect me if I were to stay out for a long time in the hot afternoon sun. This is a scenario that I have yet to test out.

Sephora.com + NARScosmetics.com haul
Just a quick update stuffs I received today shipped via Vpost ^-^
As both Sephora.com and NARS.com doesn't ship to Singapore directly, I bought them through Amazon and shipped to my VpostUSA address.
So........ Just what did I get?!
From Sephora.com I bought the Sephora Beauty In A Box NARS Junkie which claims to have a value of US$121 but sold at US$69. At current exchange rate, I only paid $92.14, which is a whopping good deal for so many items!!
Contains a Essential Eye Palette, Lip Gloss in Ophelia, a mini The Multiple in Orgasm and a mini Bronzing Powder in Laguna.
The Multiple in Orgasm (4g)
Bronzing Powder in Laguna
The bronzing powder is so puny!!! Only contains 2.5g!! About the size of a single eye shadow..
Lip Gloss in Ophelia (8g)
Love love love this palette!! The colours are sooooooooooo pretty!!
From NARScosmetics.com, I got the Modern Love Palette. This cost US$55 and which is translated to SG$73.44. A little more pricer than what I would usually pay for a a palette with 6 eye shadows.
The colours are (from top to bottom, left to right) Alhambra, Jezebel, India Song, Tokoyo, Habanera and Panodra.
This palette is also very pretty but on first sight, I prefer the Essential Eye Palette over this Modern Love Palette.
I didn't pay for any shipping within USA, as both items were eligible for free local shipping within USA. For shipping from VPost USA to Singapore, I only paid (I believe) $7.40 only after using the credit card promotion code~!
