This would probably not be new to you if you have been following my tweets.

Sometime last week, I received a package from Biore. When the courier guy handed me the package, I was rather taken aback at how heavy it was and that triggered me to find out what exactly is inside immediately.

When I opened the package, I was so surprised to see a jar containing lemons. That being the fact that from certain angles, you couldn't see anything except for the lemons. It was only when I turned the jar then I found out that the focal point was actually - Biore Aqua Rich UV sunscreens, Aqua Rich UV Face Mousse SPF 50+ PA+++ and Aqua Rich UV Gel SPF 30 PA+++.

I must say that Biore did it again with the unique and attractive way of presenting it. The other time when they sent me a press kit for Biore Hydra Clear Makeup Remover, Cleansing Oil Cotton Facial Sheets and Makeup Remover for Eye & Lip, a lot of readers were too impressed by it and some of them even asked me where they could get the first aid kit!

While I haven't tried these new Biore sunscreens yet, I'm pretty sure that they won't fail me or rather that they would be as good as Biore UV Moist Face milk that I got sometime earlier this year which I love a lot.

I will be reviewing them once I have tried them out.

Thank you Biore Singapore for sending me these new sunscreens. ◕‿◕

I bet you are experiencing anxiety as you try and recall those times when you feel guilty of having makeup that looks cakey on your face. Well, fret not because CUSkin is here to your rescue with PH Balancing Facial Mist!

I like to spray the mist on my face after I washed my face. You can use it as a toner like how I did.

Just to share with you girlies, I stopped using foundation entirely a few months ago. Instead, I use BB cream with pressed powder. Not only does it look more natural, it reduces my breakouts. In order increase the staying power of BB cream, dabbing loose or pressed powder sparingly is a MUST. However, most powders, especially drugstore brands would mostly cake. Hence, it results in a very unnatural look which kind of reminds me of Nippon Paint.

I like the fact that it is handy enough to be kept in my bag. Its perfect for ladies whom want to spend lesser time to touch up yet still look her best or an instant perk-me-up from a long day of work.

Besides, the mist is absorbed so quickly by my skin that I don't have to blot the excess daily unlike its other counterparts.

Are you intrigued by it already?

Good news! You can get the spray now at 15% off, $30.60 instead of the usual price $36 as CUSkin is having Christmas promotion currently.

It is for dry skin to very dry skin. What I liked about this is that it is not greasy unlike certain moisturizers/lotions. I haven't tried it enough to give a comprehensive review but I must say that I quite like it because it doesn't feel heavy on the skin like some moisturizers/lotions do.

Oh, this is random but I just wanted to share. I don't know why but I just love buying body moisturizers/lotions even though I have so many which I haven't finish using yet. The scented ones from Victoria's Secret, L'occitane and The Body Shop are just so tempting!

The owner, Zhen contacted me a while ago to ask if I was interested in reviewing some samples of Korean beauty brands like Innisfree, Holika Holika, Baviphat etc. And I thought why not since I love Korean brands so much. Some of the products which she brings in are from the newer Korean brands which are not available in Singapore yet.

And when Zhen said samples, I thought it would probably a satchet for each product. But when I received my package, I realised that I was wrong, for Zhen is so generous with her samples!

Just look at how much samples she provided me with!

She gave me 5 samples of each product with the exception of the Innisfree Jeju Volcanic Pore Clay Mask and Baviphat Apple AC Therapy sleeping mask. At first, I thought that I could only make mini reviews since a sample doesn't come with much product for me to test if it works for me. But now, I think I am able to at least make a semi-comprehensive review on these products.

In case you were wondering why my package was sealed in plastic, it was due to the fact that my package was damaged during the process of delivery. The bottom of the envelope looked as if it was ripped open! At first, I suspected that maybe someone ripped the envelope open to look at the contents. However, I realised that its because one of the samples leaked. Trust Singpost to be so clumsy! This is the first time which I have encountered something like that.

Don't you just love Korean skincare products? I do! Especially Laneige, Etude House, Nature Republic, The Face Shop etc. Those Dermal sheet masks are my absolute favourite! Among all, I love the Royal Jelly Collagen the most for it is very moisturizing!

Lots of organizers. See? Patricia's gonna be a super organized person from now onwards! (: And, handmade pouch for my iPhone 4. Lastly, circle lens! I just love circle lens. It makes me look more awake. I have small eyes, you see.

I'm loving every bit of these lovelies from Korea. What say you? (:

P.S: I didn't post every single item up, only the relevant ones which I thought you girlies might be interested in.

Mystic Veil Foundation in #23

This foundation has a texture like whipping cream and is suitable for all skin types. Usually, cream foundations provide more coverage than liquid or powdered ones.

It gives an even and clean look. It is mentioned on its website that the best application would be to use fingers. Hence, they have also included a spatula for hygiene purpose. I have not tried applying foundation with fingers before though.

It is available in two shades, #21 Natural Beige and #23 Sand Beige.

This is a cream blusher in pink with hints of coral which I love because it gives a more radiant and natural look.

The trick to applying cream blusher is to put 3 dots along your cheek are blend them upwards as shown in the picture above.

This has to be my favourite product in the entire collection! What's not to like about its pretty packaging and the pretty eyeshadow colors? It contains 4 eyeshadow colors, mystic white (highlight color), mystic pink, mystic violet and mystic black.

I was so fascinated by the semi smokey eyes done by Steven Cho, a makeup artist from Korea when I first watched this video on Laneíge Facebook.

Check out the lovely snowflake detail! It shines like a crystal! Awww..

Mystic Beige is the perfect nude lip color for daytime (work/school). You can never go wrong with it!

While Mystic Flower is best for a night out with girlfriends, on a date or for clubbing! I say, go light with the blusher and put on eyeliner (a thin line) and shine with bold lips!

I hope you enjoyed this post. For swatches or more comprehensive reviews on the items above, kindly leave a comment or email me and I will try my best to get something up.

For any questions, just ask me in Formspring and I will get back to you asap.

Thank you Laneíge for giving me an opportunity to try these lovelies. (:
