This dual actions of facial exfoliant & mask is created in dried & powdered form because no water in formulation means no preservatives, no stabiliser, no emulsifiers, no fillers & no unnecessary chemical additives
In short, powdered form means what’s inside the bottle is 💯% the botanicals ingredients. This scrub & mask 2 in 1 is activated upon contact with water 💦 to releasing all the natural botanical goodness. You may tweak the scrub consistency according to your liking ya

How to use❓⁉️
After daily facial cleansing, dispense about a teaspoon of this exfoliating mask onto a wet palm to creating a creamy & muddy paste
Then, massage the paste formed onto face & neck in a circular motion. Ohh yes, to avoiding the eyes area.

Slightly damp lips, then scoop out a 10 cent size of lip scrub using the spatula provided. Next, slowly massage lips 👄 with the scrub. If require, you may add in ~1 drop of water to make it easier to massage the scrub on lips. Personally SiennyLovesDrawing prefers without adding water for a greater scrubbing effect on her lips

Do apply this lip balm on lips as often as needed to healing & protecting lips for a healthy looking you
Skinn Elemento do not formulate its products in a very big bottles/ sizes. Since all its products are made upon order, it’s the BEST to use once receiving it. If use regularly & according to suggested instruction, each products will last around 2 to 2.5 months as each is without chemical stabiliser, filler or preservatives. Some color changes might occur in scrub over time & it’s normal due to its all natural plant/fruit pigmented. It’s still safe to be used & serve its purposes.

Hmm…Whenever nearer to festive seasons, SiennyLovesdrawing’s mama 🧓🏻 would set an expectation on her with designated home areas to be cleansed. Ohh no…Cry…Cry…Lol 😭😂
No complains of course 😁 Just that she needs a helping hands…Not a maid
.
She needs a 👍🏻 reliable vacuum cleaner, then more frequent of vacuuming home living spaces for a healthy life
What❓⁉️
If you are following her stories, you sure note her 2021 wish list
~ Corvan Cordless Vacuum Cleaner (Model no. K9) ~
Corvan Asia was formed in 2014 to focus on home appliances ~ Designed in USA 🇺🇸 & assembled in China 🇨🇳 ~
.
She is gonna sharing 👩🏻💻📝 her user experience withK9 ~ A cordless stick handheld vacuum (With metal extension rod attached). More of her K9 user IG stories & highlight album 📹📸 named #Corvan via 🌐 https://www.instagram.com/stories/highlights/18142757830184698/
K9 isvery well packed for delivery 🚚📦 ie. Doubled boxed & the bubble wrapped as captured in her happy unboxing K9 TikTok clip
Note:K9 is advisable to have guardians/ parents to accompany for usage with children below 8 years old. Do keep properly after each usage of K9❤️
AP02 has a 3-stage purification & deodorization system with High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filtration
With its auto mode to react to the air quality within the space, then increasing its fan speed while its sensor detects more pollutants in the air
It aims to reducing ⬇️ pollutants, allergens bacteria & odd smell in the air
She then attended the Corvan Shopee Live 📹 @ 31 Jan about K9 & understand more of its user benefits
1 of the main factor that got her attracted to own K9 is its accessories ie. 4 cleaning tools
.
How to use❓⁉️
Not to worry if you’re not really a machine person like SiennyLovesDrawing, K9 isreally easy 👍🏻 to assemble for usage
Just to ensure & align each tool/ extension rod is properly inserted to the main bodyK9 until each clicked & locked 🔒 before ON the K9 for usage. Her 1st user assemble with each of the cleaning brushes to K9 as captured in below TikTok clip 📹
When charging 🔋 K9, do connect the charger 🔌 to the wall power socket 1st, then to K9 before switch on for charging
Do fully charged it for 1st usage & use K9 until flat before its next charging. Each charging of approximately 4 hours from flat to 💯% full. It will automatically cut off charging once 💯% charged 🔋
There is a built-in indicator light on K9 main body to inform its battery level ie.
RED ❤️ flashing ~ Low
YELLOW 💛 flashing ~ Mid level
GREEN 💚 flashing ~ Almost full
GREEN 💚 constant ~ Full 💯%
.
It’s with child-safe power switch & 1-press operation to start K9. Just hold the power button for 2 seconds & then release
Can choose either standard suction or turbo suction for usage
1st impression ~ Simple, easy & worth it with 4 cleaning tools in 1 vacuum cleaner
LED lit anti-tangle motorised floor brush ~ For short/ medium pile carpets or flat hard floors cleaning with a metal extension rod to connect to the main body ~ Truly anti-tangle & no hair stucks, no need broom. Yeah!!
Motorised bed tool ~ For mattress/ bed/ fabrics to remove dust & clean dust mite, even for sofa, soft toys, curtains, car seat etc. Note: For high pile carpets, do use it without the brush
2-in-1 crevice tool ~ For narrow spaces of sofa seats, small soft toys 🧸 , the car interiors, narrow spaces eg. sliding window/ door rails, keyboard ⌨️ etc.
Swivel soft dusting brush ~ Can be rotated for 360° 🔄 for wall & ceiling ~ Absolutely helpful from her user experience especially she is cleaning the ceiling fan ~ Best‼️👍🏻
Yes ✅, it aims to vacuum many different areas with K9
She chosen for cordless because she can’t imaging herself to plug & unplug K9 when she is vacuuming from 1 room to another, absolutely inconvenient with wires attached, don’t you agree❓⁉️
With her little niece 👶🏻 at home 🏡 & loves to jump over any cords, it may damage the cord & result in electrical hazards or kids falling down, so K9, a cordless vacuum cleanereliminates these young kid safety concerns
.
She is highly recommending👍🏻👆🏻 K9 from using each of the cleaning tools & many more
1. LED lit motorised floor brush
K9 with an ergonomic design & comfortable to hold. Do fix this cleaning tool on the metal extension rod 1st to extend the reach by an additional 61cm to vacuum clean effortlessly with a comfortable posture. No ❌ back-stress & aching muscle after 😁
This anti-tangle floor brush helps to vacuuming the long strands straight into the dirt bin, no more busy dealing with the aftermath of entangled hair strands. Though clearly see a lot of long hair strands in the dust bin, but none were being tangled @ the brush mouth, bravo‼️👏🏻
.
The brightness of its white⚪️ LED headlight on the floor brush really helpful especially illuminating hard-to-see dirts while vacuuming in the dark areas eg. Under/ behind the table/ sofa/ bed/ wardrobe/ cabinet/ corners
Brilliant‼️👍🏻 It’s with self protection function ie. Power will automatically cuts off when there is a block detected (eg. Trapped hair) in the brush/ unable to turn freely. It alerts with a flashing yellow 💛 light on the floor brush if the main suction/ brush inlet is stucked/ being blocked ⛔️
Her happy user experience with motorised floor brush attached K9 via TikTok clip captured 📹
Note: It’s best to either hang K9 on the wall bracket, or lay it horizontally flat on the floor / bench / other flat surfaces when K9 is not in use
You will be amazed!! Just like SiennyLovesDrawing, she washed her bed sheets every 2 weeks & clean wiping her mattress
She didn’t realised still there is dust & dust mites @@ after she vacuuming with this tool on her bed 🛏 (With bed sheet on), pillow, soft toy & blanket. Ohh my…The suction ofK9 really impressive great‼️👍🏻
Her happy user experience with motorised bed tool attached K9 via TikTok clip captured 📹
Yeah‼️ She no longer ❌ need the metal stairs anymore when cleaning the ceiling fans. Just add on the metal extension rod to the main body to reach greater while vacuuming
The 360 movement 🔄 of this brush really helpful to clean each wings of the fan, you may wear your blue light protection glasses 🤓👓 to protect your eyes from the dirt dropping then
.
No more up ⬆️ & down ⬇️ the metal ladder to clean her wipe clothes from her ceiling fans cleaning. Hurray‼️👏🏻
Her happy user experience with this soft dusting brush attached K9 via TikTok clip 📹 captured, hmm…Slightly challenging as the fan wings keep moving while vacuuming. Lol…😅😂
In summary, SiennyLovesDrawing really a happy satisfied female user 😃👩🏻👍🏻 of K9 with all the features fulfiled her need of owning a cordless vacuum cleaner ie. Affordable price, cordless, suction power (She uses standard mode almost all time), attached cleaning tools, 3-stage HEPA filter system, warranty provided as shared here 👩🏻💻📝
Price: 4.5/5
Design: 4.5/5
Accessories included: 4.5/5
Suction power: 4.5/5 (Fine dusts vacuumed as shown in Tiktok clips above, amazing!!)
Still some of her user wishes for a greater version of K9
Personally she wishes K9 is with a smart technology ie. Able to connect to her Mi watch ⌚️ or phone app 📲 to monitor the K9‘s usage/ performance & generate relevant statistics 📊📈 eg. How many calories has burnt from vacuum cleaning etc. Then sure lots of female users 👭👭 will be more diligent in vacuuming with aims to burn calories & as slimming routines 😁
Also K9 can be enhanced with a greater noiseless technology ⬇️🔉 It’s still consider noisy to her personally though @ 65dB, K9 is 1 of the quietest among cordless stick vacuums of similar performance. It’s acceptable 👌🏻 with its powerful suction 👍🏻, you may note from each of her user TikTok clips captured, the fine dust vacuumed with each of the tools
.
She wishes K9 is more lightweight for easy manoeuvring for the elderly/ female users 👴🏻🧓🏻👭👭 She felt the weight on her hands of approximately main body of 1.4kg while cleaning the ceiling fans. It’s tired & sore on arms/ hands especially after vacuuming ceiling fans 😌 However, she remains a happy user with the convenience of K9 with its powerful suction in her home cleaning now 😁
.
K9 can beenhanced with longer lasting battery. Currently, a 💯% charged battery 🔋 only for max 40mins vacumming with standard suction mode
.
She wishes K9can be enhanced witha smart wall charger 🔌 cum bracket in the future, ie. Auto charging the K9 when hang it to the wall bracket ~ 2 in 1 charger & storage for K9
Lastly, she really hope K9 can be used to suck up liquid eg. Coffee/ milk spilled on the floor ~ Maybe a future model by Corvan for both dry & wet/ liquid vacuuming
.
Where to purchase❓⁉️
As a Shopee ambassador 👩🏻💼, she highly recommend to purchase it from Shopee in Corvan official shop. To get a further RM30 off, just key in promo code CORVSNY30 under “Shop Voucher Code” via 🛒🌐https://shp.ee/jcaxuai
Each unit is with a 5 years vacuum motor warranty, 1 year for vacuum body warranty & 1 year lithium-ion battery warranty 👍🏻
.
The battery 🔋 is replaceable if exhausted from usage. SiennyLovesDrawing encourages all to remove the battery from its main body if not gonna use it for a long period. She always practising this safe keeping tips for most of her home appliances 👍🏻
So, you may ask how to clean the vacuum cleaner after each usage❓⁉️
Generally after throw out the dust & dirt captured from the dust bin, SiennyLovesDrawing will use an old paint brush/ used tooth brush to clean the dirt/ dust stuck inside the HEPA filter, then wipe clean with disinfectant wipes. The HEPA filter is also washable, just make sure it’s completely dry before putting back into the dustbin
She cleans the whole filter & dust bin right after each vacuum as you note from each of her TikTok clips shared above. This is to ensure its quality & powerful suction, do check out her wipe cleaning TikTok clip captured
