the QUEEN and her BLING

[Sponsored Review]

Ginvera has added two more products to the green tea whitening series – The Aqua Whitening Cream and Nude Cover BB Cream. Read on to find out how you can redeem samples for both products!

The Green Tea Aqua Whitening Cream (SGD16.90, 40g) by Ginvera is enriched with Green Tea Essence, Thanaka Extracts and Biogel which provides the benefits of skin whitening, UV protection, oil control, lightening of spots and acne scars and prevents the formation of pimples. Its deep moisturizing and oil control effects help to effectively hydrate and clarify the skin for natural and radiant glow.

Here are the benefits:-

• Lightweight lotion that can be applied both in the day and night
• Oil control properties to control oil secretion from your skin, keeping your skin matte and shine-free
• Anti-oxidant ingredients to prevent damage from harmful UV rays
• Whitening properties make the skin fairer and more radiant after regular use
• Hydrating functions to keep your skin hydrated even at night

The product itself is a light, white opaque cream as you can see. Upon application, it sinks into my skin pretty easily and does not leave a white cast. Initially, I thought that my skin will feel oily but surprisingly, it doesn’t. The cream is lightly scented with florals and green extracts. It feels extremely hydrating too. I am using this daily. Once in the morning and once at night, right before I go to bed. So far, I didn’t see any whitening effect on my skin. But it certainly helps to control the oil on my T-zone.

I have been using BB creams for about 3 years and have tried all sorts of Korean and Japanese brand BB creams. This would be my first time trying a local brand. The Nude Color BB Cream (SGD16.90, 25ml) by Ginvera is enriched with Green Tea Extract to nourish skin and protect complexion against free radical damage and helps prevent the formation of dark spots. It is also infused with Hyaluronic Acid to provide all day hydration for soft and supple skin.

• Allantoin, Ginseng and Angelica to encourage cell renewal and revitalize skin, resulting in visibly fairer and more radiant skin
• Formulated with SPF30PA++ to protect the skin from damage caused by UV rays, preventing premature ageing, wrinkles and fine lines
• Light velvety non greasy texture, creates a flawless radiant finish that conceals imperfections, enlarged pores and evens out the skin tone
• Provides natural and flawless coverage for a long lasting matte finish. Specially formulated with a nano fine texture to allow easy spreading and application, resulting a more natural look.

Testing the shade on the back of my hand.

The BB cream looks a little greyish to me. In fact by midday, it turns ashy and dull looking on my face. The shade looks better after applying loose powder to set the BB cream.
