Happy Birthday to My Blog!

It’s 2 years old now!

Hint: Giveaway below ;)

As mentioned on my facebook, my first blogpost was written on 24th April 2011.

It started off purely as a "diary" for me to keep records of things that happened in my life

and also do simple sharing of some blogshops that I like (I used to shop on blogshops alot).

Today, my blog has evolved to writing beauty, lifestyle, travel and fashion blogposts!

And...

I bought my own domain!

It used to be www.katelyn-tan.blogspot.com,

but now it is www.katelyntan.sg

Note: the domain no longer has a "-" ;)

Spent more on a .sg domain all thanks to whoever stole the .com domain that i wanted! Roar! Hahas.

Anyways you all can still enter my page using either of the links. They are both connected :)

In addition, 

I had a little revamp for my blog :)

Before

After

♥♥♥

[Review] Bio-Essence Bio Spring Water + Giveaway

I'm back blogging again! YAY!
Just typed this post an hour ago. The only thing I scheduled was the time.
I want it to be posted at 23:59 so the giveaway will last for exactly 3days!
Btw, I ran out of scheduled posts already. Need to get back to blogging fortnightly!

Finally able to work and find time to do other stuffs.

I have to admit that I had problems waking up in the morning during the first week.

But now I am some what used to it already (as long as I sleep before 12mn)!

♥♥♥

Update: Contest Ended

Congrats to Anna for winning!

Back to what I am sharing with you all today.

There is a giveaway at the end of this post! ;) So continue reading ya?

Photos taken before I went to DRx. Had bareface with only eyeliners.

Bio-Essence Bio Spring Water

Ideal for all skin types, Bio-essence Bio-Spring Water is the coolest spring water that yields the best soothing, anti-irritation and calming effects on skin. Adapting unique Bio-technology to combine Spring Water and Bio-Energy Fluid, Bio- Spring Water contains trace mineral to create energy to stimulate blood and oxygen circulation.

High Trace Minerals for Healthy Skin

Skin cells suffer from fatigue and skin dullness from environmental aggressions and mineral deficiencies. Trace minerals are essential minerals required by human health. It accelerates skin healing process and gives the skin sufficient hydration to improve on skin roughness. Bio-essence Bio-spring Water contains high trace minerals which are the perfect, natural treatment to obtain optimum skin care health.

While minerals are vital in modern skin care, higher mineral content releases more energy and heat which will be drying to the skin.

Unique Points with multi-efficacies for face, body and hair

Having unique composition, Bio-Spring water is specially low in mineral content and sodium chloride content yet rich in trace minerals, ensuring 2X effect for cooling and soothing sensitive and irritated skin.

Low in mineral content creates lesser energy and heat which is ideal for cooling and soothing sensitive and irritable skin. Low in Sodium Chloride of 2.432mg/l absorbs least skin moisture, ensures the best moisturizing effects. High Sodium Chloride content dehydrates skin as it absorbs moisture from the skin. Optimal pH value of 6.45 is closest to skin's natural pH value, is mild and non-irritating.

Bio-essence Bio-Spring Water fits both genders and works for all age groups, not just for the face but also for the body and hair.

Above details from Press Release :)
Now for my personal review!

I used it for both my face and my hair.

When I used it on my skin, it had a cooling and hydrating feeling :)

Think this product is great for hot and dry places!

Helps keep your skin hydrated and also cools you down ;)

When I used it on my hair, I couldn't really tell the difference.
Except the hair feeling wet after spraying.
Maybe my hair was too dried to be repaired :(

Will definitely recommend this to people who are going to dry+hot places to use for their skin.
How I wish I had this when I was in Las Vegas hahahas!

♥♥♥

Here is what you all are waiting for :)

The giveaway!

2 x Travel Sized Miracle Bio Water

One for yourself and one for your friend :)

(Both will go to the same person)

Was given 3 travel sized Miracle Bio Water for this giveaway :)

 I'm keeping one for myself cause it's so convenient!

So there are 2 more up for grab ;)
