My review:
To me, I use gel-type face moisturizer to replace face cream in my daily skincare regime. The reason being is, generally I find face cream oily, too rich, thick texture and it clog pores. After seeing 'with oil control ' and positive reviews about Ginvera Green Tea - Aqua Whitening cream, I decided to give it a try. As you can see in my previous pic, its white soft texture feels like whipped cream, looks rich from outside yet weightless when touch it. After application, skin brighten up and it leave a matte feel. One thing I like about it is this cream breaks away dryness instantly, I noticed my skin is soft and blemish free.

My review:
I have dehydrated and combination skin, with small amount of Hada Labo Retinol, it leave my skin moisturized and refreshed without greasy feel every time I used it day and night on cleansed skin ^_^ The texture is quite light and milky, slightly more concentrated than normal toner, likely because of the ingredient- collagen! When applying Hada Labo Retinol, I used 2 drops and pat gently on my skin with bare hands till fully absorbed. Next, I would wait for around 2 mins before using my next skincare. I found my make up tend to last longer throughout the day. After using Hada Labo Retinol for consecutive few days, I noticed my skin condition improved dramatically - overall my complexion becomes clearer, skin feels softer and smoother. I will continue to use Hada Labo Retinol Lifting Firming lotion to have healthy, youth-looking skin =)

Went to NG AH SIO -Bak Kut Teh this afternoon to have our lunch.
NG AH SIO- Rangoon Road outlet:
Address: 208 Rangoon Road, Hong Building Singapore 218453
Tel: +65 6291 4537
Operating Hours:
Tuesday to Sundays: 7am – 10pm. Closed on Mondays.
There was a queue when we arrived at Ng Ah Sio. We waited for around 15 mins before we can get a seat to enjoy our favorite bat kut teh ^_^To me, bat kut teh is a very traditional soup/dish that can easily goes well with a bowl of plain rice, red chilli with sweet dark soya sauce.
The 'old' way eating bat kut teh is with chinese doughnuts(you tiao) and chinese tea as early as in 1950s. Till now, bat kut teh is still one of our top 10 local delight that represents the chinese traditions. And Ng Ah Sio is also one of the famous brand that locals and foreigners would come visit to have a taste of original bat kut teh!
Ng Ah Sio famous dish - Signature Spare Ribs soup, Signature Pork Ribs soup, Spare and Pork Ribs Combo soup.
We ordered 2 bowls of Pork Ribs soup, 1 Pig's skin, 1 Braised Big Intestine, 1 Tang-O and 2 bowl of rice.
Pig's Skin - one of my favorite food. As there is a saying "these food are rich in collagen and will make your skin look ‘better and younger. They provide your skin with natural moisture which prevents the formation of wrinkles, and creates a barrier prohibiting UV rays from damaging your skin and thus prevents pigmentation. The collagen gives your skin added firmness."
Pork Ribs soup - $5.50
Pigs Skin - $2.00
Braised Big Intestine - $6.00
Tang-O - $3.00
Personally I like bat kut teh alot, especially the strong taste of pork based soup, tender pork ribs and aromatic scent of bat kut teh which attracts me to try out Ng Ah Sio - bat kut teh. The place is air-conditioned with ceiling fans, a nice place to have bat kut teh in hot weather. The soup is the peppery sort, a little brownish and slight herbal taste. Generous big portion of Pork ribs, the meat is juicy and tender. The staff are attentive and service is brisk and efficient. However, the Pig's skin was a letdown as it is still quite hard to chew and the gravy was diluted.

Pure Beauty - Super brightening Toner
Made with Vitamin B3, this toner fights dull skin and enhances skin tone with an effective blend of anti-oxidising, soothing and whitening functions. Arbutin also reduces pigmentation, leaving your skin fairer and brighter.
My review: I would say, to me this transparent gel-like skincare works more than just a toner, I used it to even out my skin tone and I do notice that it brighten up my skin and it also able to make my skin fairer, clearer after few applications. Another thing I like about Pure Beauty brightening lotion is the smell is not strong and it did not cause any discomfort or any breakouts after use. Basically, I find Pure Beauty lotion is good to use daily (morning and night before your moisturizer for better absorption) and the price is also reasonable.
