Aljunied flea and cleanser reviews!

Hellooooooo, we’ve all been super busy recently cos of Ma3querade going to regular fleas (Changi) and new flea spots e.g. Aljunied. I guess we’ve really come a long way since our first flea…and the early times when Ma3querade was first born! Now we’ve quite a number of regular customers getting their skincare products from us :)

And, to make your whole shopping experience with us a happier one, we’ve decided to move from confusing livejournal (commenting and whatnot) to a domain entirely belonging to us! www.ma3querade.com *beams with pride* is under construction right now! Yay yay yay yay. We’re all extremely excited bout it. Elaine’s doing the web and the rest of us are really busy with fleas too and sourcing for more amazing suppliers from all over the world for you :D Hopefully our domain ‘ll be born before 2012!

Happy customers are always our satisfaction and we really make it a point to provide females with high quality skin products at affordable prices :D:D

Anyway, we went to a flea at Aljunied, block 4A if I remembered correctly last Sunday (6^th Nov). This flea’s so special cos all four of us were there lololol. It was really early on Sunday morning and we were all yawning on the way there…got our food at the MRT station and rushed all the way down to the flea area. Well, hard work of course, but for the sake of our little business we really don’t mind…Hopefully we gained more awareness of great masks/skincare products at such un-findable-in-singapore prices :D

Btw, talking about improvement, we’re now so used to going to fleas that we have our own little chairs, tables, table cloths, knowledge of how to put our products, and exactly how much products to bring! We even had a new slimming brand with us that day, since we had 4 people ;) For the babes who want to get svelte figures. Brand’s “Svelte Lady”, if you were curious!

Arrangement of masks were done nicelyyyy and chio table cloths were used :D
An assortment of soy bean masks, collagen latex face/eye masks and cloth masks available. Later i'll introduce the slimming mud masks and scrubs to you guys, bet you all will mad love itttt! <3

When we're bored, we start to camwhore with each other. like not exactly camwhore but still camwhore. ^^

A closer look at all the products...all available at ma3querade.livejournal.com! In any case, just email us for pricings and orders for easier shopping <3 ma3querade@gmail.com

Soy bean latex masks (whitening) ; joseristine cloth masks for collagen hydration (all the way from hk!!) ; and the red wine essence eye latex collagen mask in this pic!

A closer look at the collagen hydration cloth mask and red wine essence eye mask. Both have been raved about by our customers so far! I personally would really recommend getting the eye masks we have in stock coz like sasa/beauty language sells the same thing and you get it cheaper at our web! Plus free normal postageeeee.

Our best-seller that day! And if you notice, this mask comes with 45g of essence. WHICH IS ALOT. Cos like usually masks come with like 25g of essence. You can check out your own... and 45g of holy gel-like essence is reaaaaallly a good deal + your mask doesnt dry up that quickly. Plus can apply on neck/arms/another body parts for hydration somemore! Worth or not!!!

Poor fel was really tired out~ As you can see, two booths that day! One side for ma3querade items as usual and the other side for svelte lady's. Cos we had 4 ppl that day, we brought both our tables along. Display more, more business what right. lololol

Many other stalls around us! We made friends with most of them..Including blogshop owner of www.whitespeckles.com! They're really nice people and their clothes are not bad at all! Can check it out if you guys are looking for class tee printing at cheaper pricings as well :D

And....the long-awaited....

Svelte Lady's products!!!
Ok lah actually its just a new brand ma3querade got in. SLIMMING productssss. We had with us that day, a special blend of herbal slimming oil, grapefruit slimming scrub and the most effective one of all has to be the seaweed mud body wrap! see pix see pix:

First up, the slimming oil...placed in a little box to protect each and everyone of them! Looks atas also right :x LOL. but yes, this is a very high end product btw, all the way sourced from Australia!! Confirm effective one! For this product, please contact us at our email addy: ma3querade@gmail.com cos its not on sale on our website yet!

Seaweed mud clay mask for slimming and detoxifying! This, was from Europe! And the most effective of all. Of course要美就要付出代价 so this product is actually also the most ma fan(troublesome) one out of the three... have to mix with water to form a paste, apply and wrap with cling wrap. Just like slimming centres, except this time is DIY ah lololol

My personal favourite cos it smells damn good and feels absolutely cleansing + got slimming effect somemore! Grapefruit slimming scrub! :D Its also a Europe product. Totally worth trying cos its actually like what the slimming centres use to cleanse before they apply the mud masks/slimming creams with cling wrap to enhance efficacies of the products!! Btw, this product is even more effective as a body wrap. scrub already onto dry skin then wrap with cling wrap. IT BECOMES WARM LORRRR. Like totally unexpected cos grapefruit what right, how to heat up...but YES, totally had the slimming effect. Instant clarifying of skin somemore. Faster buy~~ We're down to our last 2 bottles ;D Email ma3querade@gmail.com to get it!

We even set up a station to let the customers try our the grapefruit scrub since it has the instant effect magic ;) Cos we understand how some of you really dont enjoy like buying new products without trying them, so yes! Here we are, again, trying to provide as good customer service as possible ^^

As the flea went on...we got bored D: Cos the people suddenly all go for lunch or something at 2+ so the crowd really went down! Hencewith therefore we also started playing arounndddd~

*BHB*, looking at your own products as if we're the customers... thats what we were doing all the time actually cos like it really attracts the crowd over to see what you're seeing hahaha

Thats all for our fleaaaaaaaaa. So, continue-ing with the skincare story, of course, as skincare shop owners, we really take time and effort into sourcing for cheaper and higher quality skincare products. Of course also have to try the current products in the market right! So yessss, i'll be reviewing a few products i bought around 2 weeks ago. :D Both are facial cleansers, btw i have like 7 facial cleansers. so even if i use comparing, i can totally find out which ones are more worth buying :p hehehe, now to share with you all....

#1 HELLO KITTY COLLAGEN CLEANSER.

I wanted to get this cleanser quite long ago, cos its like not very pricey, $12.40 at Watsons...ok lah, actually *to be honest* its because of the cutesy packaging hehehehe. What!!!! I have my bimbo moments also okkk -defensive- But just look at it! CUTE ENOUGH OR NOT! :D

Supposedly, it can also remove make up. But i still think that make-up removers are there for a reason. And should be used before the cleansing step so...yes, im just gonna rate it on its facial cleansing properties.

Still have hello kitty as model, teaching you how to wash your face ok!!! Mad loveeeee the graphics and the entire design. AND the smell! Its smells of apple but its just a very light smell so yeah you'd generally smell like a cute apple after usage :D

My thoughts on this product:
Wellllll, it wasn't as un-effective as i thought it would be. Cos its packaging made it look like a cheapskate cleanser which was produced just for the hello kitty lovers..but no! It was quite functional actually. Cleanses quite well. But i kinda think it didnt do a good job on the hydrating collagen part. There're actually 4 of the cleasers in the hello kitty series and i chose the collagen one cos my skin is like sort of the more dry type, so i wanted it to be more hydrating instead of cleansing to make it more dry! :X But other that that i guess it was relatively okay...

p.s. surprisingly right, my bro likes it alot! Maybe guys nowadays go for like apple smells to lure the lil girls LOL.

#2 HIMALAYA HERBALS CLEAR COMPLEXION WHITENING FACIAL WASH

I totally have something for whitening products :x obviously cos im like not very fair... :(:(:( so i bought this!

Saffron supposedly (by google) enhances skin moisture level somemore :D

Admittedly, the hello kitty cleanser wins hands down in smells and looks! But...himalaya herbals is forever smelling of herbs what! how to compare with apple...

Anyway, this was really not a bad product. I suspect i'd never be able to finish using it cos its a really light cleanser and only a LITTLE bit is required to lather your whole face+ nece+ collar bone area (in bath) So yeah, quite worth the price! I kinda forgot the price but its somewhere around $10! Quite suitable for daily use cause its really mild on the skin and suitable for slowly but surely kind of improvement on your facial complexion :)

Anw, some pix with the cutesy cleanser ;) Cos i just got my new iphone cover, which is COINCIDENTALLY hello kitty-inspired also...and COINCIDENTALLY yet again(Yes, i swear it wasnt on purpose), that i was wearing a hello kitty night dress :X LOLOL. Don't judge! Its really mad comfy ^^

Very matchy right!!! LOLOL Anyway do look out for more more more more updates on our cute blog! We're working on a new nice blog skin too hehe.

RANDOM: As im typing this right, its actually 3:43am on 17 Nov 2011. And im flying off to US with a transit at HK at 8:05am later woohoo. Gonna shop like some mad girl over there, hopefully everything's affordable and prettayeeeee.

I heard that F21, Zara, Coach, Burberry, M.A.C, O.P.I and lotsa electronic gadgets are totally like at discounted prices over there!

EXCITED MAXXXX.

I'd definitely blog about it after my trip and tell you all whether the discounted prices thing is real ok lololol.
