Youth Code Eye Essence
Advertorial
At just 0.3mm to 0.5mm, it is about 3-5 times thinner than skin elsewhere on your face, which is usually between 1mm to 1.6mm!!
That's why the skin coutour around the eye area needs all the help it can get!!
Not only is it the most fragile, it also also the most abused...
We put most of our makeup on the eye area and sometimes get a little too violent tugging out falsies or wiping away waterproof mascara...
And I'm most guilty of this...
I give my eyes no mercy at all whenever I'm awake, staring at my phone's bright sceen, the computer or TV... The stress gets to the eyes, causing constant blinking, dehydration etc.
When it comes to skincare solutions for our eye area, most of us are praying for a solution to the 5 most common problems:
Most of us just give up the constant combat, especially for dark eye circles, because it seems impossible to not have any of these!! But... applying concealer isn't really fixing the crux of the problem.
If you want to try a new eye skincare solution, why not give the L'Oreal Youth Code Eye Essence a try?
The Youth Code Eye Essence is a brilliant combination of 2 patented technologies developed by L'Oreal Paris.
Don't want to say too much about the scientific stuff that's in this little powerful bottle, but here's some statistics from tests done on participants:
Can you say wow?
I personally love the ultralight texture.
After application there is no stickiness or oily residue (I worry about causing milia seeds). It is super refreshing and feels so nice on the skin under my tired eyes, absorbing instantly, leaving a velvety silky finish.
After I come home from a long day wearing makeup, I realised that after cleansing and showering my skin, especially around the eyes, become super dry...
After putting on the Youth Code Eye Essence I instantly feel the skin become plumper, hydrated, and firmer!!
Also, application is so easy...
On a clean face (obviously I have makeup on, this is for demo purposes), use the glass dropper to put some eye essence on your ring finger...
Simply use your ring finger to gently dab the Youth Code Eye Essence into your delicate skin. Use once every morning and night... The formula can be used under makeup too.
The result?
Instantly rejuvenated, hydrated skin around your eyes!
And Xmas came early!! The L'Oreal Youth Code Eye Essence retails at a usual price of $34.90 for the 15ml bottle. Totally affordable!
But from November to December, the Youth Code Eye Essence is retailing for only $29.90!!
GRABBBBB!! FIVE DOLLAR DISCOUNT!!
If you are looking for something just as powerful that will care for the rest of your face as well, you can also try out the popular L'Oreal Youth Code Boosting Essence!
Have you thought that somehow, your skincare just doesn't seem to work as effectively as it used to?
Well, the scientists at L'Oreal have discovered that it is because of the "Recovery Gene" in our skin. In youthful skin, the Recovery Gene absorbs active ingredient and fights fatigue up to 5 times than in mature skin!
But don't fret if you are.. old... like me! In this bottle is the secret that can speed up the Recovery Gene in aging skin - the result is not only can it recover the skin's natural recovery capabilities, it also amplifies the effects of any skincare you apply on top of it!
Just imagine - same skincare, twice the results!! That's why this is called the BOOSTING essence, to help you maximize the skincare you already love!
You can find the Youth Code Eye Essence and Youth Code Boosting Essence at Watsons, Guardian, Sasa, selected departmental stores and major hypermarkets.

Let's talk about our eyes today!!
Starting with a bit of trivia!!
Did you know, that the skin around your eyes is
at its thinnest, thinner than anywhere else on your face?
At just 0.3mm to 0.5mm, it is about 3-5 times thinner than skin elsewhere on your face, which is usually between 1mm to 1.6mm!!
That's why the skin coutour around the eye area needs all the help it can get!!
Not only is it the most fragile, it also also the most abused...
We put most of our makeup on the eye area and sometimes get a little too violent tugging out falsies or wiping away waterproof mascara...
We rub our eyes when they get itchy, tugging on the paper thin skin there...
And I'm most guilty of this...
I give my eyes no mercy at all whenever I'm awake, staring at my phone's bright sceen, the computer or TV... The stress gets to the eyes, causing constant blinking, dehydration etc.
When it comes to skincare solutions for our eye area, most of us are praying for a solution to the 5 most common problems:
Eeeeks!! Hate all these!!!!!!
Most of us just give up the constant combat, especially for dark eye circles, because it seems impossible to not have any of these!! But... applying concealer isn't really fixing the crux of the problem.
If you want to try a new eye skincare solution, why not give the L'Oreal Youth Code Eye Essence a try?
The Youth Code Eye Essence is a brilliant combination of 2 patented technologies developed by L'Oreal Paris.
Don't want to say too much about the scientific stuff that's in this little powerful bottle, but here's some statistics from tests done on participants:
After 4 weeks of usage:
Elasticity and firmness on average improved by 16%
Fine lines and crows' feet diminished by 12%
Wrinkles reduced by 14%
Overall signs of fatigue decreased by 7%
Can you say wow?

As you all know I typically use false lashes to enhance my eyes. But fake lashes are, no matter what... fake.
So sometimes when I see girls with super pretty thick and long natural eyelashes, perhaps enhanced with only mascara, I feel so jealous!!
She has said many times that those are her real lashes!!
I also want!! I want to be one of these girls with *ahem* naturally luscious lashes framing my peepers!!
Therefore, sometimes when I'm in the mood I also forgo the stick-on lashes and go for mascara instead!! When that time comes, I'm always hunting for the best mascara to use.
I know a lot of girls don't bother to put too much eye makeup and fake lashes are too much for them. Mascara is also good for occasions like going to the pool or beach because fake lashes won't stay... and let's face it, swimming with fake lashes is just ridiculous.
When it comes to the best mascara, the brand that many people swear by is Maybelline!
After all, Maybelline *IS* the number 1 brand for mascara in Singapore!!
I remember all through my youth I've used Maybelline's mascaras... Anyone remember the one that is neon pink and green? I loved that! :D
Now new to the Maybelline mascara family... Introducing...
People have different needs when it comes to the perfect mascara, some want volume, some want length... for others it is more important that the mascara is smudge-proof because they tear more.
Well, after trying the Falsies mascara, I must say that this new concortion is the all-in-one bombdiggity!!!
Comes with a fanned out brush to catch even your finest little hairs... And look at those lengthening fibres!
Suddenly my eyes look much more alert than the sleepy and dull specimen on the left...
I only put 2 coats of mascara on and the difference is already so obvious.
I may not have Kim K's Armenian hairy genes but I still look ok with my sparse Chinese lashes thanks to Falsies mascara!! :D
But how mascara looks after you put it on is just the first hurdle...
As the day goes on can it last??
What I love about Falsies mascara is that even in Singapore's ultra humid weather the lashes remain curled instead of drooping after long wear!
Plus it is one of the few mascaras I've used that are truly flake-proof... I super hate it when mascara flakes on my face making it look like I have black spots all over... -_-
AND smudge-proof so you never end up looking like a panda!!!!!! I don't know how they did it but Falsies mascara kinda has an almost rubbery feel... Once it is on your lashes and solidified it just won't "melt" again!
Well if you don't believe me watch this video I did with Golden Tan (that's Michelle Chong in one of her funny personas), putting the Maybelline Volum' Express Falsies Mascara through a variety of torture tests!
Had a lot of fun filming this... Thank you Michelle Chong and team for taking care of me, Larry Yeo for my makeup and the Maybelline team for all the niceness that day!! Just FYI if you are wondering, I was about 3 months pregnant when this was filmed. I was still skinny-ish... :X
Can't believe I actually went swimming and inside a sauna with Falsies mascara and it survived!!
If you want to give the Falsies Mascara a try, they are available at Watsons and most places that sell makeup... At an affordable $20.90!
Additionally if you want an even darker and more intense look for Xmas/NYE, you can now try out the limited edition Falsies Everlasting mascara! Available only during this Xmas season so remember to grab, fast!
Of course, remember to Like Maybelline's fb page below to get updates for more good deals!

TADAH!!!
Suddenly my eyes look much more alert than the sleepy and dull specimen on the left...
I only put 2 coats of mascara on and the difference is already so obvious.
Ohai!!
I may not have Kim K's Armenian hairy genes but I still look ok with my sparse Chinese lashes thanks to Falsies mascara!! :D
Wish I could transplant my arm hairs on my lash line. LOL
I love how when you close your eyes people can see that there are no fake lashes on... :)
But how mascara looks after you put it on is just the first hurdle...

Eye itchy and you went to rub it?
Not to worry....
Watching a sad movie and it made you cry??
AND smudge-proof so you never end up looking like a panda!!!!!! I don't know how they did it but Falsies mascara kinda has an almost rubbery feel... Once it is on your lashes and solidified it just won't "melt" again!
