I'm a full-time mummy

I love getting the opportunities to review iPad app which I can apply on our daily activities as I get to practise and/or involve my family members as well. For this app, I am glad to be able to review it as I've been teaching Ben about the importance of brushing his teeth. Anyway, my review as below...

* Title: Kids' Dental Health
* Price: $1.99
* Category: Education

* Size: 51.2 MB

Description from the product page:

"This educational interactive book helps parents teach their children in a fun and entertaining way all about the essentials of oral hygiene. Children will happily get to know more about dental care whilst having fun playing in thematic mini-games.

The story is short enough to read right before oral hygiene activities and long enough to play games during the day to generate motivation to have a shining healthy smile. "

This app teaches us the importance of brushing our teeth and what we can do to maintain the cleanliness of our teeth and oral hygiene. Ben seems to like this app as he can relate himself with the brushing and flossing as well.

What's good?

* It is engaging and interactive and I love that we can also touch the objects in each page on the screen and the words pop out to tell you what it is!

* We get to select one of the 4 characters available for this app as the main character. I like this option as I feel my child can better relate himself if the main character is similar to him / his age. 

* I like telling Ben how the main character finally manages to brush off all the evil bacteria and germs from his mouth with the help of the tooth brush and tooth paste!

Room for Improvement?

* I think it would be much better and cooler if there is an image of the tooth brush (with the tooth paste) moving along on the screen as we tap to clear off the bacteria and germs from turning into plagues!

* Maybe it's just a coincident but I feel the picture of the ice cream should not be placed at its current position (right below the 'Eat more' column) as at first sight, I actually thought we should eat more ice cream!

* Perhaps it'll be better if there is an additional page for the app to place all the common sugary and snack foods so that our children can understand and see clearly that these are the foods that causes problems to their teeth.

* I would love to see an app on how to get children to be at ease and eager to go for dental checkups. This is something I will desperately want Ben to get familiar and at ease with.

I received a total of 3 products for my review, hence I'll break them down by each product:

1) Skin & Nail Treatment

** Usage: It helps repair dry and cracked skin and as it is specifically formulated for skin and nails, it promotes a soft supple cuticle, while repairing existing damage and also enhances nails for a shiny appearance and healthy looking cuticles

My feedback on:

- Smell: vanilla-ish, I like it!

- Texture: like normal lotion feel but not oily at all, leaves a shine on nails after application, also leaves a very nice vanilla-ish fragrance

- Results: My dry skin looks refreshed and rejuvenated and I love the shine on my nails after I rub some of the cream on it.

2) Antioxidant Berry Masque

** Usage: allows for a detox facial treatment using the antioxidant power of blueberries and cranberries, which enhance cellular renewal and collagen production and the glycolic and alpha lipoic acids create a microdermabrasion-like effect that eliminates dead skin cells to reveal a fresh new layer

My feedback on:

- Smell: berry, grape-y smell, I love the smell, makes me want to ermmm... eat myself? Hahahah..

- Texture: sand papery and looks like sandy mud

- Results: The first time I used this, the area around my nose stings and is a little bit red but few more times with using this masque, my skin feels soft and smooth and no more redness or stinging sensation.

3) Lip Balm

My feedback on:

- Smell: minty

- Feel: cooling and I use this when I had mouth ulcer recently to keep my lips from drying up. Very helpful in keeping my lips moist!

I always have the weirdest and luckiest luck ever! Or maybe the Twitter fairy is being kind to me... Anyway, I stumbled upon this tweet message by Wish Trend looking for bloggers to review their products and I replied them asking whether they are OK with international bloggers, and my oh my, they are happy to provide me a product of my choice from their website for my review! After checking out each and every one of their items, I decided to review the Ciracle Vitamin E5 cream. So here goes my review for the "Ciracle Vitamin E5 cream":

Description from the product page:
"Ciracle Vitamin E5 Cream contains 5% Vitamin E (tocopherol) for whitening and anti-aging cream.
- It helps relax and de-stress for protecting the skin against the damage and harmful environment.
- Vegetable extracts enhance the skin preservation as oil and moisture and keep the refreshed and skin moisture all day long.
- The whitening effectiveness of ‘Ciracle Vitamin E cream’ gained the certification from Korean FDA. So it can help whiten your dark and tired skin.
- You can keep the moisturizing and youth with small amount of Vitamin E cream."

Sorry for the picture quality... I took it in my room at night under yellow night, but trust me, the product looks much more awesome than the pictures I took! Anyway, just want to share how the product was nicely packaged, protected by layers of bubble wrap and the box packaging is very nice too. I like the sleek way of how the bottle cap turns easily upon opening and closing as well.

The reason why I requested to review the Vitamin E5 Cream is because errmmm... I don't ever use any vitamin E5 products and so would like to try it out now? Anyway, after reading through the product info page, I settled firmly on reviewing it as I feel I have a few spots on my body which needs moisturising! A lot!!!

Those areas are my face, elbows, legs and thighs. Just take a look at my dry crackling skin... horrible huh... it has been like that since I could remember.

Now I apply the cream after bath everyday (OK, almost.. sometimes I forgot...) especially to the 4 areas above. I can immediately see a layer of moisture on my skin which helps hydrate my dry skin. Pictures below taken after 1 month:

My skin stays moist throughout the night and I also like that the cream does not have any smell. My skin is smoother now thanks to Ciracle Vitamin E5 cream!

A very good product I say!

You can get this product from Wish Trend's website.
