Amethystory

Amethystory is a new range of skincare product by Ginvera.

Why Amethyst?

Amethyst, a semi-precious gemstone, is a violet variety of the quartz often used in jewelry. It has a unique colour and this gemstone is often believed to be a natural tranquilizer for dispelling intoxication, relieving stress, soothing irritation, balancing mood and inspiring the intellect. In fact, the origins of the name came from the Ancient Greek word 'amethystos' meaning 'not intoxicated', a reference to the belief that the stone protects its owner from negativity. A large number of further miraculous powers are attributed to the amethyst in all sorts of cultures, including bringing you good luck and abundance. 

Amethyst is well known as a natural aid for our body. It produces small, detectable magnetic field & emits beneficial far infrared radiation & negative ions that enhance circulation, promote anti-oxidation & rejuvenate skin cells, all of which are essential to help smoothen & beautify skin. 

A coveted gem desired for its power to heal and rejuvenate, this purple quartz gemstone, Amethyst, is uniquely incorporated into the latest skincare series from Amethystory which contains real amethyst granules with triple functions:
Cell-rejuvenation, anti-oxidation & promotion of micro blood circulation for a healthier and more luminous skin. This could be more than a fairytale come true!

My review

On packaging

I always prefer a tube like packaging for BB cream as it is easier to bring around and less wastage of BB cream. Ginvera BB cream has a small size of 25ml in a small tube packaging which allows me to bring for travels easily with its small size.

On BB cream


The bb cream is very watery and light weight and can be applied on easily. I had a few trouble applying it for the first time as it is very watery and i accidentally squeezed too much out. (^^)"
It contains SPF 30 PA++ which allows me to skip applying the sunblock step. The formula is not sticky and contains a very nice fragrance (i think it is green tea?). If you can't stand fragrance in your makeup items, better not try, but i really like it.

The tone of the bb cream is more of nude tone, and it only  comes in a shade.

a 4.5/5 from me!



(me with BB cream applied on)
















(this is how watery it is ^^")






Ginvera Aqua Whitening Cream with oil control

Enriched with Green Tea Essence, Thanaka Extracts and Biogel, it provides the benefit of skin whitening, UV protection, oil control, lightening of spots and acne scars and prevents the formation of pimples.

My review
My first try on the drugstore whitening cream and it surpasses my expectations :) It is very light-weight, no sticky residue left on my face and very moisturizing. I'm still not very sure about the whitening though. It has the same fragrance as the bb cream which is my favourite right now.

My skin felt moisturized and fortunately it does not leave a white patch of moisturizer like most others do. It sinks in my skin easily. I'm currently using this day and night and it did not disappoint me.

The only concern i have was the SPF. It would be better if it contains SPF.

I would give this a 4/5 :D

A tube of 40g retails at SGD16.90













I did a EOTD too! (it has been sometime since i did one =D)

Ginvera

To my surprise, i was sent a few Ginvera products from the Green Tea Whitening Series

• Ginvera Marvel Gel

Vitamin E, one of the main vitamins found in green tea, is also known for its ability to help skin retain moisture to slow down the signs of aging.

Soy Bean?

The new and improved Ginvera Green Tea Whitening Series is also enriched with soybean extract for enhanced whitening efficacies. This unique soybean is fermented with Bacillus Subtilis to produce Cellplus+ (a soft liquid product that contains plenty of amino acids) which has strong moisturizing and whitening properties.

Ginvera Green Tea Whitening Marvel Gel

*I'm a big fan of whitening products therefore i bold the word :P

What is it

Ginvera Green Tea Marvel Gel works by specifically targeting the dead skin cells, dissolving and removing the cornified layer of dead skin on the top most epidermis layer. This gentle yet effective exfoliating action zeros-out blackheads painlessly and helps remove deep layers of dead skin. When the dead skin barrier is removed, the new skin underneath is revealed, allowing your skin’s healthy radiance to glow from within. It also helps in oil control to help you stay shine-free the whole day!

How it work

The skin undergoes metabolism and results in the build up of dead skin barrier on daily basis. Exposure to pollution and dirt every day together with the improper removal of makeup and excess sebum will also cause the pores on your skin to be clogged up and results in the formation of whiteheads and stubborn blackheads. In other cases, bacteria infection might also cause inflammation of the skin, leading to skin problems like pimples and acnes. The dead skin cells barrier also obstructs the absorption of skincare products applied subsequently, putting them to waste. In addition, your makeup would not be able to glide on smoothly and might even appear cakey. Thus it is important to remove the dead skin barrier daily for a healthy glowing complexion free from blackheads!

Benefits

3) Regulates and helps control sebum secretion for a shine-free complexion whole day long.
4) Whitens and evens out skin tone. Effective in helping to fading pigmentation, spots and acne scars over time.
5) Refines and contracts the appearance of pores to reveal finer, smoother skin.
6) Deeply cleanses pores and helps prevent the onset of skin problems like pimples and blemishes.
7) Helps remove oil seeds
8) Changes dull and rough skin to a smooth complexion, allowing makeup to glide on easily and adhere better to the skin.
9) Helps stimulates skin metabolism, skin looks younger and more supple
10) Allows better and faster absorption of skincare products that is applied subsequently

My Review

This is one of my favourite scrub in the morning. As i often put makeup at the day, i'm to lazy to add this step in, but i use this as my first step in the morning. Once i wake up, i will use this to massage my face, and it always make me happy when i see the small flakes come out. (Bye bye dead skin cells) Some flakes are different in color and it feels like the dirts are all coming out and i'm prep-ing my face for makeup later. After cleansing, i can feel that my face is much smoother and softer. I still can't see the whitening effect yet, but i like how it remove the dirt from my face.

Jade Dark Eye Circles Roll Away

Jade?

Jade is precious gem common in the East. Besides using it as an ornament, it is also believed to have additional beauty and health benefits due to the ample amount of energy within. Therefore, it is commonly used as a massaging tool to enhance health and beauty, especially on the face.
According to ancient Chinese medical book, “Jade has cooling properties. It can help to ‘dissolve toxins’, nourish skin, improve circulation, eyesight and energize the brain. Due to the emission of energy, Jade is believed to have unique purification and calming properties as well. “
In modern scientific studies, Jade is found to contain trace minerals that are beneficial to the human body. Through massaging using Jade, this energy can in turn be “channeled to the skin and body” to help nourish and beautify the skin.

Jade is a very good massaging medium as it contains trace minerals that is beneficial to the skin. Through massaging using the unique Jade ball, energy will ‘transmitted’ to penetrate into the skin for a brighter eye contour over time. Blended with additional Bio Energy ingredients such as Bio Energy Fluid, Bio Rice Fermentation essence, Royal Jelly as well as various precious herbal extracts like Ginseng and Pomelo, the Bio Jade Dark Eye Circle Roll Away deeply nourishes the skin around the eye contours while helping to “roll away” the dark circles effectively.

Benefits

• Rolls away dark eye circles over time
• Brightens & firms eyes contours
• Helps prevent and minimize the appearance of eye bags, crows feet and fine lines
• With a more nourished and revitalized eye contour, eye makeup application becomes easier!

My Review

My grandma always tell me jade is good for skin and i did wore it for awhile when i was younger. I really like the cooling effect the jade is and i think they are really good for skin. I was amazed at the Jade roller for the eyes (i love rollers more than creams now for eyes) as they are easy to apply and handy. I can see my panda trademark (dark circles) lighten up gradually and i don't look tired. No stickiness, greasiness (which i experienced from lots of eye creams) and my eyes did indeed look better.
