Taiwan Skincare SOPHIE MONK's celebrity spokesperson MAKIYO comes to Singapore on 4th November!
prior to receiving an invite to the event where Taiwan Celebrity Spokesperson MAKIYO will be promoting the Taiwan Skincare SOPHIE MONK, i barely even hear anything about this skincare line. after doing a bit of research though, i think i'll be looking forward to trying out this line though!!!
OK, let me contain my excitement first and get on with the title. but, if you are curious like me you'll be asking, "wait, what the heck is Sophie Monk???" Sophie Monk celebrates beauty in women and is fronted by Japanese/Taiwanese celebrity, Makiyo. Its R&D and cute packaging puts it at the forefront of beauty solutions for young ladies wanting beauty, offering solutions for dry skin, acne through a comprehensive and tightly-edited selection of whitening, hydrating, anti acne products as well as hydrating masks. their website brand story also mentions that "Sophie Monk gathers Japanese Designer + Taiwan Latest R&D Technology proudly presents Non Greasy, Zero Burden high rated skincare which specially designed for Hot Weather countries". apparently, the label is currently loved by models and celebrities in Taiwan and Japan in need of whitening solutions and finally now here (sold at Guardian) and yet I've known only now! ugh. OK, at least now I already know hehe.
Alright, that's settled. But why should I check it out? What do they offer you may ask? Available at Guardian pharmacies are their whitening range (which consists of SPF 40+ Smoothing BB cream, Cleansing Mousse, Mild Cleansing Oil, Emulsion, Brightening Eye Gel, Refreshing Toner, Moisturizer and Essence), their hydrating range (which only consists of Hydrating Essence) and their hydrating range masks/strawberry facial masks (which consists of Hydrating Double Lifting Mask, Pore Minimizing Double Lifting Mask, Whitening Double Lifting Mask, V Shaping Double Lifting Mask).
Oh, I know there are still questions. Ingredients?
