DNA is the basic structure that controls all of the functions of every cell in our bodies. Thus, our DNA is the ultimate factor that determines when and how we age. Have you noticed how some people look young for their age? I have seen people in their 50s who look like they are 30 years old, and I am a professional at evaluating facial aging! Other 40-year-old people have gray hair, deep wrinkles, and sagging skin, while another person the same age has dark hair and smooth moist skin, with no wrinkles or laxity. The difference between these individuals is due to the difference in their DNA.
Your inherited DNA, plus your nutrition, lifestyle, and exposure to toxins, not only determines how you look and how your skin ages but also how the rest of your body ages.

Japanese women are known for their youthful-looking and radiance skin. And one of their favourite beauty investment is to take supplement drink. They believe one simple and most effective way to upkeep their youthfulness and prevent aging is to consistently drinking it. Many of them have been faithfully taking the drinks for many years. In fact in a long run, they see amazing results - fine lines and wrinkles are less visible, skin is more hydrate and pores are more refined. Even Japanese celebrities are also known to love the goodness of these drinks too.

A few days ago, I was delighted to receive a 30-day Japan’s Tsubaki Perfect Beauty Drink from AFC Japan. Coincidently, it was my birthday and I was overjoyed with wonderful gifts around me!! WooHoo!!
I have always wanted to try supplement drink. I love anything that can help boost collagen production and slow down the signs of aging, be it a facial treatment, through diet or skincare product. I have read many positive reviews on supplements and hence after receiving the products, I was actually very excited and I can’t wait to find out more about this product.
I’m glad to learn that Tsubaki Perfect Beauty Drink is considered a all-natural, highly bioavailable and easily absorbed drink. I have taken my third bottle last night. Initially, I was a little skeptical about the taste but surprising this odorless refreshing peach flavour is quite tasty and I actually enjoy drinking it. It is free of coloring and preservatives. Do you know it is only 55 calories per bottle and is fat-free too? Yes, I don’t have to worry about my weight at all hee hee……..
As I’m already in my 40s, it is recommended for me to drink a bottle daily and preferably before bedtime. It is believe that sleep is a time for healing and repair.
I will be reviewing this product after completing my full course, do stay tuned for the full review. 
.
Each striking pink box contains 10 bottles of Perfect Beauty Drink in 50ml with an expiry date printed on the side of the box. As Perfect Beauty Drink is PRESERVATIVES-FREE, you will notice that the shelf life is shorter than most collagen drinks.
.
The first thing that captured my attention is the big letters 10,000mg. In English, it reads as “10,000mg Micro-Collagen Peptides”. Tsubaki Perfect Beauty Drink is in fact formulated with HIGHEST 10,000mg Collagen. WAH!!!
.
Japan’s Tsubaki Perfect Beauty Drink
Tsubaki Perfect Beauty Drink is an intensive high performance age-defying drink for cell renewal and collagen production. Comprising a synergistic blend of Micro-Collagen Peptides, botanical Bio-Cell Activator (BCA) Complex and Hyaluronic Acid, Tsubaki Perfect Beauty Drink replenishes and stimulates natural collagen formation, while repairing skin damage for youthful skin.
Tsubaki Perfect Beauty Drink contains all the goodness in one bottle : 10,000mg Micro-Collagen Peptides for Repairing, Hyaluronic Acid for Revitalising, Bio-Cell Activator (BCA) Complex for Reviving and Vitamin Bs & C for Rejuvenating.

Lancôme Teint Miracle Natural Light Creator Bare Skin Perfection Foundation SPF 16/PA++ (S$65)
The first thing that attracted me is its prestige and elegant looking crystal and silver bottle. I actually like its petite size which is slightly taller than my iPhone. Teint Miracle comes in 7 shades and I have selected the O-03 for its natural tone.

I have recently received a set of wonderful lipbalms and they are the #1 Top Selling Lipbalms in Japan.
Mojitate Kajitsu Lipbalm
Deep Moist Lipbalm
.
.
Mojitate Kajitsu lipbalm
Mojitate Kajitsu lipbalm comes in 3 flavors - Strawberry, Orange & Mango and Lemon & Lime. It was so fascinating that I actually fall in love with its fruity flavor immediately after my first encounter with it. In love with the fruity scents, so real and natural! It smells so fruity sweet that it naturally reminds me of candies each time I apply it on my lip. Mojitate Kajitsu lipbalm provides amazing moisturizing result and my lip feels so smooth and soft. One great thing I like about this product is that I do not need to reapply as much as I do with other lipbalms. Mojitate Kajitsu lipbalm, with UV protection, contains beneficial antioxidant and hydrating ingredients such as squalane, grape, seed oil, vitamin A and E. The packaging, sweet and lively, will definitely woo many young gals out there. Which is my favorite? Well, all of them!!!
.
Deep Moist Lipbalm
Deep Moist Menthol and Deep Moist Natural lipbalms are definitely a good alternative for those who doesn’t like fruity flavors. Deep Moist Menthol comes with menthol that provides cooling feeling after application. And if menthol is not your cup of tea either, then Deep Moist Natural will definitely be an ideal choice for you. Deep Moist Lipbalm provides excellent hydrating benefits with hyaluronic acid, jojoba oil, avocado oil, shea butter and vitamin E. After application, my lip feels soft and moisture and I really love the texture very much.

AQUALABEL “Unravel Your Blogging Power”

We’re now in Round 2 level and all participating bloggers are required to attend a special AQUALABEL Workshop on either 18th or 19th August to learn about AQUALABEL’s full range of products and pick up skincare tips from the experts. I’ve selected the earlier date on 18th August for the workshop.
.
Before the event started, as usual, I get to mingle with fellow bloggers and have gotten some ‘beautiful’ pictures taken too……..hee hee………
.
Each long table is divided into two sections - AQUALABEL Whitening (blue packaging) and AQUALABEL Moisturizing (red packaging) sector. And the bloggers will get to seat near to the range of products they prefer to try later.
As I have earlier attended the AQUALABEL Private Preview and have tested some of the products from Whitening Range, I was eager to try out the Moisturizing Range this round.
All contestants are required to participate on the hands-on session which means we will need to remove our makeup and experience the products on our face.
.
Yanny, our lovely AQUALABEL’s speaker, provided an in-depth information on the exclusive AQUALABEL technology and products. She has also thoroughly demonstrated the correct step-by-step skincare regime using AQUALABEL products.
Prior to the workshop, I have gotten the regime mix-up and now I’m able to advise my readers with the correct regime, thanks AQUALABEL!!
Whitening/Anti-Acne Night Skincare Regime - Deep Clear Cleansing Oil >> White Clear Foam >> White Up Lotion (S/R) or White A/C Lotion >> Bright White EX or White AC Essence OR Reset White Mask >> White Up Emulsion (S/R) or White AC Emulsion >> Aqua Enhancer WT >> White Up Cream
