[Review] ChocoMarvel – Natural Menstrual Care

[Sponsored Review]

P/S: This is a review exclusively for ladies only. :tongue2:

Having severe menstrual cramps? Period cramps can be extremely uncomfortable and painful where you just wanna lie in bed all day long.

On average, a woman can lose up to 50% of their daily requirement of iron during each menstrual cycle. Studies reveal that almost 80% of women suffer from period discomfort which includes abdominal pain, backache, diarrhoea, irritability and mood changes. Look how serious it can get? :alamak:


When I received ChocoMarvel in my mail, I was elated! I received it just when my period comes. I had 2 sachets during the first two days and I realized that my menstrual cramps is significantly reduced. You’d probably feel that I am exaggerating but I ain’t joking. :wink1:


ChocoMarvel is a delicious chocolatey pampering treat formulated with 100% natural ingredients to provide natural menstrual care. And most importantly, it’s LOW FAT! I could happily sip away on this regularly. :thumbsup:

What can ChocoMarvel do for you…

  • Promotes blood circulation and aids in relief of menstrual pain
  • Helps replenish iron loss during menstruation
  • Helps relieve bloating, tension and discomfort
  • Helps improve facial complexion
  • Helps main hormone levels and reduce irritability and depression


There are 8 sachets in a box and can be conveniently brought to anywhere. It comes in powder form and you can just add hot water to it and stirrrrr…


Voila! It has this bittersweet chocolatey taste with a slight tinge of herbal and ginger aftertaste. Quite yummy eh! :thumbsup:


Bye bye period cramps. All I want is to enjoy a hot cuppa ChocoMarvel. :love4:

[Review] SkinLab Medical Spa’s Aqua Peel Facial

[Sponsored Review]


Last week, I went for a facial treatment at SkinLab Medical Spa located at Wheelock Place.

The treatment I got to try is the Aqua Peel Facial (U.P. $268). It uses the newest technology – Aqua Peel Technology that provides both non-invasive exfoliation and delivery of topical solutions to safely and painlessly cleanse, exfoliate, extract and hydrate the skin.

Read on to find out how you can enjoy an exclusive promotion for this treatment!

Features:

  • Simultaneous exfoliation and topical infusion.
  • A selection of topical solutions specific to the patient’s skin condition.
  • 3 Spiral treatment tips for optimal exposure and absorption of topical solutions.
  • LED display for precise vacuum and flow settings.

Advantages:

  • Provide painless, soothing treatment.
  • Allows an immediate return to normal activities (no downtime).
  • Eliminates the risk and health concerns of aluminum-based crystals associated with particulate abrasion.
  • Visible results after first treatment. Lasting and more significant results will be seen after 4 to 6 treatments spaced 7 to 10 days apart.
  • Unique Spiral Tip allows maximise infusion with minimum wastage.

Skin condition before the facial treatment. As you can see, I have horrible clogged pores. *digs hole and hide*


Upon arriving, I was given a form to fill in my health history, concerns and skincare regime. After which, I was led into a room for my treatment. The therapist first removed my make up and applied some lavender oil on her palms and let me inhale it for relaxation. She then cleaned my face with Aqua ST AS (All-Skin) Solution, which will soften sebum and impurities to aid in extractions. It also assists in dislodging dead cells for exfoliation and provides residual hydration that aids in firming and smoothing fine lines.


Next, the Aqua ST SA (Salicylic Acid) Solution was infused into my skin with the help of the unique spiral tip shown above. I was told by the therapist that the spiral tip is able to clear up clogged pores and inject the serum into the skin at the same time. Amazing isn’t it?


Extraction comes next. I have super clogged and congested skin all thanks to make up, stress and whatnot. I was feeling extremely jittery about the extraction but surprisingly, it didn’t hurt at all thanks to the AS Solution. I didn’t tear nor feel uncomfortable throughout the extraction process.


Booya! Hope it didn’t scare ya!

Lastly, a cooling mask containing Aqua ST AO (Anti-Oxidant) Solution is being applied all over my face. It takes 15 minutes to dry up. The mask contains Vitamins A, E & White Tea Extract to combat free radicals and environmental damage to the skin cells. Meanwhile, the therapist would massage my head and shoulders to ease the tension.

15 minutes later, the mask was slowly being peeled off and I was given eye serum as well as sunblock on my face. That ended the relaxing facial! My skin felt extremely refreshed and clean afterwards.

Keen to try this as well? Now you can enjoy the same facial at the following prices.
