Review on SONY CP Laboratories Inc. Blackhead Off Stick

Made in Japan, this blackhead off stick from CP Sony Labs claims to effectively remove your blackheads and dirt while improving your skin at the same time.
I first read about this product in a magazine about 2 years ago and was really intrigued by it as a local celebrity swears by Sony CP products.

I almost couldn't believe it when I heard its from Sony CP as the company is mainly associated with electronic consumer products so what are they doing with beauty products?
Anyway, when I came across it in Nishino Pharmacy in Liang Court, I knew I had to get it.
I cannot remember the price as it was quite some time back but it should be below $15.

This cute little tube comes in a lovely chirpy yellow colour, almost like a lipbalm and revealed a beige coloured waxy head which I am supposed to rub on the nose in order to remove those detestable blackheads.

Main Ingredients :
AHA soften skin and remove the dirt easily
Witch hazel helps tighten pores and improve skin

Direction:
Use it after cleansing. Face must be dry when using. Rub it on nose or chin. Follow with toner and moisturizer.
Use it 1-2 times per week. Do not use it when face is reddish.

A little goes a long way. How much can you possible rub on a tiny nose, I wonder?
I found it to be particularly drying on my nose as it peels after each rub so I do not really like using it.
In fact, I hardly found any benefits in using this as my blackheads are still there and the constant rubbing motion is causing friction and making my nose redder and flaking.

I definitely would not be buying this again as its pretty useless.

Review on Dermalogica Soothing Protection Spray

Product Description:
Mist on this environmental shield to immediately reduce the redness and inflammation associated with stress, pollution, climatic extremes or allergies. Unique Anti-Ozonate Complex helps heal skin and prevent future attacks. Ideal for all sensitized skin conditions.

Suitable for flushed, irritated and sensitive skin, this ultra-calming spray formulated with Anti-Ozonate Complex help protect skin from reactive ozone while active botanicals to help reduce irritation and redness is a soothing treat for all those who have used it before.

I received this as a free gift when I bought my Dermalogica products online and was really happy to be able to get a chance to try it. I have been battling with sensitive and flushed skin for the major part of my life. Its not serious but I prefer my skin to be normal, instead of turning red easily under sun or playing sports. My skin has calmed down tremendously ever since I started using Dermalogica products which is also why you may have found many reviews with Dermalogica products in my blog.

Everytime, my skin is flushed, I found myself reaching out for this spray. 4 spritzes are all I need for my face and thereafter I will just lightly tap on my skin.
I cannot describe the scent but I actually hated it very much.
It also irritates and stings my eyes easily so beware to avoid the eye area.

It could be a psychological feel-good feeling that caused me to believe in it because I actually did not really see a marked improvement in my skin sensitivity after using this and its not an immediate recovery from flushed to normal. I still need some time before my skin recovers to its original state after the spray.
As with all Dermalogica products, it contains no artificial colour or fragrance which made it suitable for sensitive skin.

I usually used it as a toner, after cleansing. However, it is kind of sticky which I do not really like. Even after I have lightly tap on my skin to get it absorbed, waited for a while, before I applied my Dermalogica Hydrating Booster, it still feels sticky. Ahhh...

Recommended Use:
Apply after cleansing with Dermalogica's Ultra Calming Cleanser for Face and Eyes. Spray directly over entire face, throat and decollete. Can also be sprayed onto figertips or cotton and pad and applied to skin in light, upward strokes. 

Main Ingredients:
Anti-Ozonate Complex, Green Tea, Balm Mint, Cucumber, Licorice, Raspberry, Canadian Willow Herb

• Natural moisturizer Sodium PCA helps maintain hydration.
• Canadian Willow Herb, Licorice, Raspberry and Cucumber help reduce redness and irritation.
• Antioxidant vitamins A, C and E helps combat visible dryness and protect

Review on The Skin Food Herb Salad Mask Sheet

Product Description

Facial mask sheet to soothe extra sensitive skin. Reduces irritation and controls redness

Mask with herb extracts which provides moisture and comfort to sensitive skin.

The Herb Salad range for sensitive skin comprises various herbs and plant ingredients that are devoid of colors and preservatives so I decided to get a few sheet masks from this range while in Korea.
Containing a herbal smell which is not really pleasant to my nose though its bearable, the sheet size is abit too big for my face and the cut out areas for the eyes, nose and lips are too big.
At 20ml, its quite a good treat for the skin while I relax to enjoy the treatment.

It does not sting and is soothing to the skin. No breakouts after my first mask and it moisturises my skin pretty well.
Skin feels sticky after each session but after rinsing it with water, my face feels much softer and smoother.

I was supposed to say its a keeper but sadly, the next morning, a couple of white small zits appeared on my chin. My skin was pretty fine after the 1st mask usage but these white zits occurred after my 2nd mask usage.
Gee. I think its just not for me.

Review on Etude House Precious Mineral BB Cream - Sheer Glowing Skin

Product Description

Etude House Precious Mineral BB Cream promotes silky complexion with pearl infused sheer coverage. Contains adenosine & arbutin for anti-wrinkle & whitening efficiencies. SPF for UV protection

After seeing how it gave my sister a flawless and radiant look, I decided to get this when I was in Korea, its such a steal with more than 50% cheaper ( $16 in Korea ) than Singapore stores ( $39.90 in Singapore )

Since I have never use any mineral cream before, I cannot discern the difference between a normal mineral cream and this product. It just seems like a usual liquid foundation to me.

The free sample which I have (Courtesy from Taiwan Etude House, when I bought their items some time back), comes in a tube which oozes out easily and may get messy at times, as it may gives out more than its required.

Thank goodness that the retail size which I bought ( after liking the sample ) is a pump dispenser type which is good for travelling without the messiness. However the pump dispenses more than what I required ( even with just one squirtz ) so it can be quite wasteful.

A little goes a long way and its so affordable so you actually can save money from this tube alone.

As with all BB creams, it offers SPF protection, whitening properties and provides good anti-aging benefits with prolonged usage.

Slightly scented with a floral fragrance, its seems to be more suitable for ladies with fair skin as it made me look brighter and fairer. Thankfully I am on the fair skinned tone and hence it suits me quite well. For my sister, as she is of a darker tone, this BB cream made her looked "whitish" and she have to follow up with her normal compact powder to even out the skin tone.

Recommended for dry skin, I thought it will provide moisture to my skin however, it still feels dry on my skin at times so if my skin is flaking, I will not use it as it would make the flakiness even more obvious.

This cream has a slight pinkish under tone and provides good enough coverage on its own, a better coverage than my own Stila Illuminating liquid foundation.

I have been using it regularly every morning for the past 4 months, either on its own or with my compact powder.

On its own, it blends in well with my skin tone to give good enough coverage and skin tone looks more even. A colleague have also commented that my skin looks better ( when I applied this product ) and radiant. Its good enough to cover small blemishes and light scars.

However, there is not much of oil control perhaps thats why its recommended for dry skin as I still experienced T-zone oilness by mid day which is fine with me, as I can dab the little shine away. Still, it would be a bonus if it can help to keep my shine at bay.

If I used it with my own Estee Lauder brightening compact powder, it provides a flawless finish but somehow, my face looks "whiter", a slight different shade than my neck which I do not really like. Hence I will still use my Stila Illuminating liquid foundation with my powder.

Since I have always been mistaken to be younger than my real age, I cannot comment much on its anti-aging properties or its wrinkle properties.

However, after the 4 months usage, I do notice that my slight pigmentaion on the cheeks did not look any worser so its SPF30 is doing its job well, I would say. My skin did not turn darker but it doesn't appear to be fairer too.

A recent visit to my beautician have also revealed that I have better skin to boot.

Review on Dermalogica Multivitamin Hand & Nail Treatment

Product Description 
Dermalogica Multivitamin Hand & Nail Treatment is an intense, non-greasy treatment to protect and repair chapped hands while strengthening the nails against splitting and peeling.

Key Ingredients :
- Provitamin B5 and soothing Algae Extract combined with pure Sweet Almond Oil to help heal dry, rough hands and provide an invisible barrier against environmental damage from weather and sunlight.
- Licorice Extract and Vitamin C help reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation ("age spots"), while SPF15 sunscreens, including Avobenzone, shield the skin from damaging ultraviolet radiation.
- Antioxidant extracts of Ginkgo Biloba and Grape Seed plus Vitamin E neutralise free radical activity, guarding against further damage.

Comes in a tube, its looks and feels like a thick creamy white hand cream but when applied on the hands, its actually quite light and non-greasy. 

It has a very pleasant fragrance which reminds me of oranges and the cream gets absorbed into the skin very easily without leaving a greasy feel. However, it feels abit mild and light for my dehydrated hands and thus needs frequent application especially after washing my hands.

If you just need a hand cream to maintain the condition of your hands, this is a good one to try out.
With so much goodness in a tube, I may just get a second tube but may alternate with a denser hand cream so that I can get the best of both worlds.  

Full Ingredients :
Water (Aqua), Cyclopentasiloxane, Glycerin, C16-17 Alkyl Benzoate, Di-C12-15 Alkyl Fumarate, Stearic Acid, Dimethicone, Sodium Dihydroxycetyl Phosphate; Extracts Of: Rosa Centifolia Flower, Algae, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (licorice) Root, Ginkgo Biloba Leaf, Vitis Vinifera (grape) Seed, Lupinus Albus Seed, Spirulina Maxima; Tocopheryl Acetate, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Retinol, Caprylic/capric Triglyceride, Panthenol, Allantoin, Sodium PCA, Sodium Hyaluronate, Methylheptyl Isostearate, Butylene Glycol, Carbomer, Tetrasodium EDTA, Aminomethyl Propanol, Phenoxyethanol, Propylparaben, Methylparaben, Limonene, Citrus Grandis (grapefruit) Peel Oil.

Review on Avene Treatment Cream For Localized Redness

Avene's Anti-Redness Cream is a unique localised treatment to help reduce redness caused by broken capillaries.

A new generation anti-redness treatment cream with dual preventive and corrective action on localized redness. Its formula combines complementary active ingredients: Retinaldehyde C.T. to energize cell metabolism, H.M.C. and Dextran Sulfate with decongestant properties. The light green tint partially neutralizes skin redness.

Soothes skin and relieves irritation while increasing it's strength and thickness as well as strengthening blood vessel walls. It is fragrance-free, hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic.

Relieves irritation : Avène Thermal Spring Water is naturally soothing and anti-irritating; it relieves heating sensation

To decongest : Dextran sulfate decongests, softens diffuse redness and prevents the appearance of new red patches

At that time of purchase, I was looking for a product to soothe the redness on my skin as my sensitive skin is quite prone to redness. I always have a good impression of Avene because of its famous Thermal Spring Water widely known to soothe the skin.
That was like almost 2 years back.

Ha, I guess that meant I have been keeping this product for that long. Frankly speaking, I usually used up my skincare products pretty fast, as compared to the average lady because I am quite disciplined when it comes to skincare and uses it religiously as I believe thats the fastest way to see results.

Its only when you use it consistently, you can then see an improvement. The same mantra goes for your studies. Isn't that what your parents usually nag to you about? LOL.

However, when it comes to this product, it took me a very long time to use this up, in fact, I still have about 70% of it remaining in the tube.

At that point in time, I was intent in getting another Avene product but was recommended by the promoter to use this, to soothe the redness on my hormonal chin area. My chin area broke out frequently during that period hence I was not able to follow the 3 months routine as recommended.

I usually used it at night, on the wings of my nose as I got some broken capillaries there and on my chin area as its slightly red and raw due to frequent breakouts on that area.
But because I have breakouts on my chin area on an on-off basis, I usually apply blemish gel only and skipped the treatment cream as I do not like to over-use products on breakout areas since its already inflamed.
Because of this, I was not able to follow the 3 months strictly as recommended in order to see results.

This treatment cream comes in a tube and is green tinted in colour. Its looks creamy but is actually quite light and not that greasy. On red sensitive areas, it helps to reduce the redness due to the green tint and feels abit minty which is good since it can cool down the sensation of heat.

After starting this treatment cream regime, my hormonal chin area did feel and look better but I cannot attribute the results to this product entirely because by then, I have started to visit a beautician, using Dermalogica products and having lesser breakouts on my chin area.

I feel that all of the changes have brought an improvement to my chin area and I am happy with the results however, the broken capillaries on the wings of my nose are still there. Its not that bad but it will still turn red under extreme weather changes.
At times, I still get little white zits at my chin the next morning, if I have applied this product the night before.

If you are keen in getting this product, you might want to follow on a strict 3 months routine and you may be able to see results in a shorter basis.

Key Ingredients:
Retinaldehyde C.T., H.M.C and Dextran Sulfate, Avene Thermal Spring Water All Ingredients: Water (Aqua), Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Mineral Oil, Glyceryl Stearate, PEG-100 Stearate, Squalane, Propylene Glycol, Glycol Montanate, PEG-40

Direction for Use:
Apply in the evening to problem areas (cheeks and nose) as an intensive skincare program for at least three (3) months. Avoid exposure to the sun, which can aggravate redness.

Review on Kawae Q10 eye mask

I bought this box (5 sheets) of eye masks from Taiwan at quite an affordable price. Apologies that I have threw away the box in Taiwan as I was trying to save space for all my beauty haul. It was simply filled to the brim with different brands of eye masks and The Beauty Diary facial masks.
My girlfriends were simply horrified with my haul of eye masks. LOL. Do watch out for more eye masks reviews coming your way.

The packaging is pretty cute, kawaii and chirpy. I am actually pretty poor and slow in reading Mandarin but I grabbed this when Q10 seems to be screaming at me from the shelves.
Ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid caught my attention too.

Its packed in a transparent tray with 2 inserts for the eye masks so that its not that messy when I took it out.
However, out of the 5 pieces, 1 piece failed as that pair of eye masks still slipped out from the tray and I need to wringle my fingers into the packaging to pick it up.

Its dripping wet and may drip when I tried to lay them on my undereye area.  However, if you rest in bed while doing the eye masks, I think it should not bother you that much.
And because its so wet, it does not dries up that soon and its still pretty wet after 30minutes.
After removing the eye pads at every session, the area feels sticky too.
However the smell is quite unbearable. It reminds me of glue and its really smelly.

After using the whole box for a week, I hardly see any visible improvement to my undereye area.
My undereye area was hydrated after each night session but it does not last to the next morning.

Refer to my previous post on what Q10 can do to your skin.

Review on Sebastian Potion 9

Product Description

Sebastian Potion 9 Wearable Styling Treatment is the ultimate versatile styling cream infused with 9 Botanical extracts to help restore lost moisture, repairs damaged, environmentally stressed hair and rejuvenate the healthy look of your hair. Perfect for styling your hair into multiple looks with flexible hold.

Active-oil botanicals restore hair's natural condition, leaving hair with renewed shine. Protective agent cocktail enhances manageable styling.
 
Key ingredients include safflower, rose hips and borage seed oil, to renew your hair's natural protective barrier eliminating unwanted water loss, repairing brittle portions of your hair and restoring pliability.

Potion 9 refers to the 9 essential extracts to help restore lost moisture, revitalize damage and rejuvenate the condition of hair. They are; jojoba seed oil, safflower seed oil, sesame seed oil, babassu oil, olive oil, evening primrose oil, rice bran oil, willow bark extract and green tea leaf extract. And the magic doesn’t stop there. This treatment is also wearable, making it perfect for styling hair.

I have been hearing good things about this magical potion and I was really looking forward to getting this product. However, I found it to be expensive in those salons I visited and was hesitant in getting it.

Imagine my delight when I chanced upon this product while shopping in Hong Kong. It costs a mere HK$65 or S$13 for the 150ml tube. It was such a real steal.

It comes in a tube which gets dented easily hence may result in accidental spilled-over at times.
Orangy in colour and glooey in texture, this leave-in treatment spreads easily from the hands to the hair. The scent is not something I like but its still bearable for the magic that it can create.

Garnering a 8.5 rating in Total Beauty , this is one product which gets good comments from all over the world. After using it for more than 3 months, I would say that its a great potion that helps to condition my hair and keeps it soft and manageable.
Its recommended to use on damp hair so I usually used this after my shampooed hair.
A dollop goes a long way and helps to define my curls by giving it a slight hold without weighing my hair down.
Its great that it acts as both a leave-in treatment gel as well as a styling product.

Sad to say, it does nothing to my frizziness though. Thats my only complaint and if the tube can be changed to a more resilent one, that would be even better.

Review on Imselene Olive Olive and Amino Repair Shampoo

I bought the small trial size 100g from Watsons at $1.99 and decided to give it a try since olive is widely known for its shine properties on hair.

A special home tip : using normal olive oil ( can get it at Watsons ) regularly on your hair can give you sleek and shiny tresses.

Product Description
Made in Korea and suitable for damaged and dry hair, this is a special formula of Extra Virgin Olive Oil, amino acids, Pro-vitamin B5 and Natural Plant Extracts designed to repair, moisturize and nourish the hair cuticles leaving hair soft and shiny.

White and creamy, it smells quite alright, I am not sure what the scent is but I am fine with both the scent and the texture.
Since this is for dry and damaged hair, I certainly thinks my hair does need a little TLC as I usually coloured and permed my hair once a year which is not much, considering, today's standards but its still damaging to the hair.

Filled with so much goodness in a shampoo, I have high expectations of its performance and how it can measures up to my standard, especially on the shine properties.

After almost a month of daily usage, I do not exactly see and feel any difference. No shinier hair too. Its quite disappointing actually.

Review on Burts Bee Honey Lip Balm

Product Description
Burts Bees is famous for their lip balms and now get yourself rewarded with a sweet treat from their new flavour - honey.

Made with sweet, soothing honey, this natural lip balm moisturises and nourishes lips. Plus, it’s packed with beeswax, shea butter, almond oil, cocoa butter and lanolin to keep your lips soft and healthy.
Its also chocking full of pain relieving protective ingredients to help soothe cracked, chapped or burning lips.

Honey: This sweet, fragrant, syrupy substance produced by bees soothes and adds softness to the skin, and is an excellent natural moisturizer.

Honey is created by bees as a food source for times when other sources are scarce. It is made up of a mixture of sugars and other compounds, and contains many vitamins and essential minerals including B-vitamins, vitamin C, calcium, copper, iron and magnesium, as well as several different amino acids.

Since it is a humectant, honey easily attracts and retains water, making it a great skin and hair moisturizer. Its antioxidant properties make it an effective ingredient for improving aging or sun-damaged skin, helping it to look smoother and younger. And, since it also has anti-irritant properties, skin care formulas for babies and others with delicate or sensitive skin often include honey to soothe.

The scent is rather light, with a slight whiff of honey.
It feels waxy when applied to the lips. Although it did provide moisturising relief for my sometimes chapped lips but somehow its still not that creamy enough to combat harsher conditions.
I would say its better than an average lip balm but I believe there are better ones out there.

Ingredients: cera alba (beeswax, cire d'abeille), helianthus annuus (sunflower) seed oil, cocos nucifera (coconut) oil, lanolin, aroma (flavor), mel (honey, miel), tocopherol, rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary) leaf extract, glycine soja (soybean) oil, canola oil (huile de colza), benzyl benzoate, coumarin

Review on Burts Bee Replenishing Lip Balm with Pomegranate Oil

I bought this from one of the Indian-owned souvenirs store in old Las Vegas in last May and only start using it now. I always love lip balms in a twist tube as its so much more hygenic and easier to apply on the dry chapped lips.

This is a replenishing and hydrating lip balm infused with the antioxidant goodness of pomegranate oil to replenishes moisture and restores texture to reveal smooth, healthy, supple lips.

Made up of natural ingredients, this lip balm contains no petroleums and only uses the natural colours found in the natural ingredients used in the product. Pomegrante is well-known for its antioxidant benefits in fighting free radicals and thats what made me choose this over other lip balms.

Deep red in colour, it is slightly tinted and leaves a slight red tinge on the lips. I actually did not fancy such lip balms but I was not aware of it when I bought it, so now I have to live with it.
It has a hint of fruity flavour but not too overpowering and despite rave reviews from fans, its just not suitable for me. Its not moisturing enough and is too mild for my sometimes chapped lips.

If my lips is flaking and I tried to use this lip balm, it does not seem to help at all. Its a miserable flop, in my view. It practically dries up my lips when it should be helping to moisturise it.

However, if my lips is already well-moisturised, the light red tint from this lip balm actually enhances my lip colour pretty well, giving it a lovely sheen.

Review on Puretree Home Aesthe Firming Collagen Gel Eye Patch

Product Description
Containing nourishing extracts from collagen, elastin and swiss alphine herb extracts to regain elasticity, moisture and health to the exhausted eye area.

I picked this up for HK$25 at Hong Kong SASA which is about $5 in late May.
I only started using this recently on a 5 day consecutive basis.

Containing 5 pairs of eye patches in a box, a pair of patches comes packed in a light transparent plastic tray in each individually sealed packet.
There is a slight herbal scent which I suspect it may be due to the Swiss Alphine Herb which reminded me of Ricola, the sweet, although I think Ricola smells much better.

Once taken out, the eye patch is quite slippery and slightly oily and may take several tries to place it correctly on the under eye area. This translucent gel-like patch does not drip and its almost dry after about 10mins and feels coolling and minty on the area.

However, despite claiming it as a firming collagen eye gel patch, I cannot feel any firming or tightening effects and my under eye area still looks as per normal after 5 days.
