Review : Garnier Fructis Daily Care Silky Secret Leave In

Product Description
The formula with grapefruit antioxidant and natural protein fortifies hair for touchable softness and is gentle enough for everyday use.

Garnier Fructis Daily Care Silky Secret Leave In is a leave-on conditioner for everyday usage to provide those soft smooth locks. Made in USA, Garnier Fructis is not easily available locally and I had this 250ml product shipped from the Drugstore in The States some time back.

The product has this fruity scent which is a tad too sweet for my likes. The nozzle dispenses the contents easily via a medium strength mist, making the hair feels super smooth and soft, due to its silicon ingredient.

It doesn't feel greasy, heavy or sticky on the hair, but light enough to detangle my hair ends easily. However, do that that the ingredient list consists of preservative like Phenoxyethanol and silicon ingredient, Dimethicone.

Garnier Fructis Daily Care Silky Secret Leave In scores 4.1 from 12 users on Makeupalley.

EO products are always nice and this time round, I decided to pick up Blue Chamomile and Lavender Nighty Night Bubble Bath for a luxurious bath. Foaming suds with a wonderful soothing scent from the combination of chamomile and lavender makes it a perfect shower experience. Enjoyable.

However, I think one is supposed to pour it into the tub to create a bubbling bath but I haven't got the chance to use it that way, without any tubs or staycations this year.

According to EO, bubble bath is formulated to be diluted with water while shower gel is formulated to be used directly on skin. It is not recommended to use bubble bath as a shower gel due to the high concentration.

Review : Ioma Absorbent Mask

Product Description
Cleans up your skin, regulates excess sebum. Thanks to the astringent and antibacterial actions of this mask, pores are tightened and sebaceous gland production is slowed. Your skin is healthy and is once again radiant.

Benefits :

Eliminates impurities

Reduces excess sebum production

Cleans up and purifies skin

Tightens the pores

Restores the skin's radiance

Key Ingredients :
Kaolin Illite Hectorite + Zinc : absorbs excess sebum secretion
Chlorphenesin : fights against bacteria development on skin

A fragrance-free formula, Ioma Absorbent Mask is formulated without paraben and silicone. This is a new brand which I came across in Tangs during my birthday month and get to try their skin analysis machine. Ioma absorbent mask is a complimentary sample I received during the skin consultation.

The slightly runny clay-like mask has a heavy alcohol scent which probably explains the cooling sensation during the initial few seconds after application. It provides a cooling and minty feel but stings on pimples.

The mask helps to absorb excess sebum and speeds up the drying process of new zits.

Review : Lancome Advanced Genifique Youth Activating Concentrate

Product Description
Inspired by cutting-edge science, Lancôme introduces Advanced Génifique—a serum so powerful it creates more radiant and smoother skin that you can see and feel. This innovative formula featuring Génifique’s powerful complex with added biotechnology-derived ingredient is incredible to the touch, and acts on 10 key signs of youth including texture, resiliency, elasticity, firmness, sagginess, fine lines, wrinkles, radiance, clarity, and skintone. Complete with an exclusive self-loading dropper that gives you the perfect dose of serum for each application, skin will feel refreshed, renewed, and healthy

This product is an updated formula of the original Genifique Youth Activating Concentrate, hence "Advanced" is added to the name.
Formulated without parabens, sulfates and phthalates, it is said to repair and activate 10 signs of youth with improvement in texture, elasticity and sagginess. It contains vitamin C (ascorbyl glucoside) and skin-repairing sodium hyaluronate which are great ingredients for skin. However, it still contains alcohol which may cause dryness and free radical damage and impair the skin's ability to heal.

I redeem complimentary sachets for a week's usage and use it every morning before my moisturiser. With a light fragrance, Advanced Genifique Youth Activating Concentrate has a lightweight texture that glides on the skin to provide that smooth feel.

However, the duration is too short to determine any long term benefits but after a week's usage, I see that my skin tone appears to be more even-toned though it may not necessarily be due to Advanced Genifique Youth Activating Concentrate alone, as I am also using another vitamin c product in the night.

Ingredients :
Water, Bifida Ferment Lysate, Glycerin, Alcohol Denat., Dimethicone, Hydroxyethylpiperazine Ethane Sulfonic Acid, Ascorbyl Glucoside, Sodium Hyaluronate, Sodium Hydroxide, Sodium Benzoate, Phenoxyethanol, Adenosine, Faex Extract/Yeast Extract/Extrait De Levure, Peg-20 Methyl Glucose Sesquistearate, Peg-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Salicyloyl Phytosphingosine, Ammonium Polyacryldimethyltauramide/Ammonium Polyacryloyldimethyl Taurate, Limonene, Xanthan Gum, Caprylyl Glycol, Disodium Edta, Octyldodecanol, Citronellol, Fragrance

Review : Dr. Morita Syn-Ake Essence Eye Mask

Product Description
Dr. Morita Syn-ake Essence Eye Mask: Snake Venom Peptide - contains moisturizing and anti-wrinkle properties, to keep the skin firm and supple. DNA repair elements - revive skin's vitality and effectively protect and repair skin's layer. Tetrapeptide - Tightens skin, while simultaneously having moisturizing and anti-wrinkle effects. Orgainc Elderberry - a special European organic herb plant that contains flavonoids, phenolic acids and tannins ingredients, which are good for soothing sensitive skin and has repair efficacy

A box of 6 individually packed masks cost me $11.90 at Watsons. It is recommended to use it daily for best results but I use it once a week, as an eye spa bonus treat.
Each individually wrapped mask, is "cocooned" within a thin protective plastic sheet where you pull it out and layered on the undereye area.

The eye mask is made of a soft cotton-like material that feels pretty comfortable on the skin. It has a wide butterfly shape that covers right up to the sides of the eyes and the eye bags area. Cutting of the mask has a small opening for the eyes, and on my big eyes, it stays so close to my eyelids which requires some adjusting to make my eyes feel more comfortable. I use it for up to 20 minutes without any sense of dryness or tightness. The eye area feels refreshed but there is no visible improvement.

Review : Estee Lauder Nutritious Rosy Prism Radiant Essence

Product Description
See your skin bloom. Rosy, radiant, revitalized.This powerful essence, with our potent Rosy Prism™ Technology, infuses skin with energy and nutrients. Helps neutralize irritants and dissolve the look of dull, yellow skintone.

Nutritious Rosy Prism™: The world’s first high-performance system proven to significantly reduce and help prevent the look of yellow skintone. Powered by our Pomegranate Nectar Infusion, rich in anti-oxidants, and Pink Peony Extract. Skin blooms with a new multi-faceted radiance: looks fresh, translucent, perfectly rosy.

Released in April this year, I redeemed a complimentary 4ml sample to use as a daily morning serum.
The scent is overpowering and I think such fragrances can be omitted since it does nothing for the skin. The Nutritious Rosy Prism Radiant Essence has a lightweight texture that gets absorbed into the skin pretty quickly, leaving in its a place a smooth texture.

Initially, I didn't feel or see a particular difference to my skin but after a week, I realized that my skin actually has a more even skin tone with a subtle radiance to the skin. Then again, the result may not be entirely due to the product alone as I am also using a vitamin C serum at night.

However, the formula does contain plant-based antioxidants which may help improve the uneven skin tone. The 3rd ingredient in the list is Ascorbyl Glucoside which is a form of Vitamin C with glucose that can act as an antioxidant. It is said to reduce free radicals that result from UV irradiation of the skin, and helps to reduce cell damage and photo-aging.

Review : Lucido-L Creamy Curl Wax

Product Description
Create soft, moisturised and luscious curls with Lucido-L Creamy Curl Wax.
Conditioning hair wax contains hyaluronic acid that helps define and moisturize curls. Creamy wax easily spreads on and is specially formulated with Non-Sticky Powder that absorbs oil and sweat to prolong hairstyle.

The travel size at 20g costs $4.90 in Watsons which I purchase it to define my curls. Non-sticky and non-greasy with a light floral scent, the wax is pretty soft and helps to hold the curls lightly. You will need to apply more wax to get more volume and hair will get slightly sticky. I feel that the wax is better than mousse when my curls are "dying" soon, as the "dying" curls get more defined as compared to using Giovanni Ultra-volume foam styling mousse.
Note that with the application, my hair tends to look slightly frizzy and some people may not like that.

In terms of ingredients, mineral oil is listed as the second while hyaluronic acid is the last in the list which meant that the concentration is way low.

Styling Technique :
[Soft curls] wrap curls around fingers and twist inwards. Loosen the curls softly.
[Defined curls] Lift curls from below, knead and push hair upwards in a scrunching motion.

Giovanni Tangerine and Papaya Ultra-Volume Foam Styling Mousse

Product Description
There is no such thing as 2 much volume

• Adds beautiful fullness
• Light formula for weightless control
• Defines waves and enhances curls

Create maximum body with our exclusive Dual Volumizing Complex - a clarifying blend of juicy Tangerine and nourishing buttery Papaya.  This dynamic body-building foam takes even limp strands that cling to the scalp and lifts them high.  Makes lifted styles look easy without making hair stiff, sticky or heavy.  Perfect for creating the plushest tresses and the most luxurious up-dos - taking 2chic® to new heights.  Tangerine and Papaya are rich in antioxidants, Vitamins A and C and have clarifying properties.
We do not add parabens, lauryl or laureth sulfate, dyes or PEGs to this product.
100% vegetarian ingredients.  No animal testing.

After perming my hair, I bought this Giovanni Tangerine and Papaya Ultra-Volume Foam Styling Mousse for $15.90 from Watsons. A "healthier" version compared to the masses of mousses out there.

At 207ml, the pump dispenser dispenses the light airy foam well, without any messiness around the cap. The foam is unlike the normal hard mousse type, but rather, it is more like a light foam with a slight runny texture. It has an orange-like scent that smells sweet. Non-sticky and non-greasy.

I usually use about 4 to 5 pumps for my long tresses. If use in excess, it will provide a slightly wetter look. When I first permed my hair where the curls are still pretty prominent, this product does a good job in making it voluminous as well as defining the curls beautifully.
2 months down the road where the curls have sort of "tamed" down, the foam just helps to maintain the curls slightly (without any Wow factor) but does nothing in terms of creating volume.

Review : Innisfree Mineral Shimmering Base

Product Description
Innisfree Mineral Shimmering Base contains 100% green tea water in lieu of distilled water, replenishes your skin with moisture and offers a moisturizing cream - like watery touch while the fine pearl powder helps to reveal a radiant and sleek complexion. Formulated with natural Jeju mineral powder to inspire feelings of comfort and present a natural complexion.

This 40ml mineral shimmering base costs 15000 won in Korea which is pretty affordable and it will last a long while since we only need a tiny bit for the whole face.

It is always nice to have radiance on the skin and make-up base is a good way to add that, but it is tricky when you have combination skin like mine.

The tube which depresses easily to dispense the gel-lotion texture has very fine shimmers which add a barely-there radiance to the skin in a natural way. There is a beautiful sheen that sets in after a short while. Lightweight without being drying or greasy, it can also double up as a highlighter to highlight areas where you need it, be it the face or body.

Calvin Klein CK Subliminal Purity Mineral Based Loose Powder

Product Description
Triple jet milled fine mineral infused powder. Gives a perfect final touch for your foundation. Delicate texture and easily adheres on skin. Absorbs excess oil and offers a natural finish. Leaves you a fresh, satin soft complexion.

I bought the Subliminal Purity Mineral Based Loose Powder from Strawberrynet.com some time back. Touted to be long wearing, light diffusing and moisture retaining as well as being dermatologist tested, allergy tested and fragrance free, it seems just like the right fit for me. I chose mine in Flesh and the shade suits my skin tone well. This product has been discontinued but is still available online.

As my very first make-up product from Calvin Klein, it exudes a minimalist and clean feel as what the brand does for other ranges. In the round translucent plastic container with a thick black cap, there is a sift with a decent puff on top. However, the container is bulky and not travel-friendly.

The talc-free loose powder has a matte finishing and leaves skin looking natural and fresh looking, if apply correctly with just the right amount of powder. But apply with a heavy hand, the powder will make my skin look cakey and fake.

It provides medium coverage with good oil-control. I use it directly with a kabuki brush or pick up the powder with its enclosed puff to apply on the skin and brush it all over the skin with the kabuki brush. Either way, the Subliminal Purity Mineral Based Loose Powder left my skin feeling au-natural with its silk finely-milled powder, paired with my BB cream.

Review : HABA Squa Cleansing

Product Description
This luxurious cleanser is enriched with Squalane, Hibiscus Sabdariffa Flower Extract and Lithospermum Officinale Root Extract. It is formulated to be gentle to even dehydrated and delicate skin. Effectively removes makeup and dirt without leaving any greasy feeling.

Squalane:
Squalane is a natural moisturizer inherent in the human body. The amount secreted decreases with age and excessive washing. HABA has developed Squalane refined to the maximum of 99.9% purity.

During my last purchase of the trial pack from HABA, I fell in love with this cleanser and promptly purchased a 240ml size of HABA Squa Cleansing at 50% off when there was a "exchange your cleanser for a 50% off the retail price"

The 240ml size costs $81 while the refill size costs $77. Housed in a pump dispenser bottle, the pump dispenses appropriate amount of the oil cleanser for a light yet powerful cleansing.

 
I didn't like it as a make-up remover, preferring a water-based make-up remover to do a more thorough job, however I like using Squa Cleansing thereafter, to clear off any remnants if any.

Initially, I felt that the cleanser is too greasy for my likes, after all, it is an oil cleanser, even with its light and runny consistency. As a maker-up remover, it is recommended to use it on dry skin. As a normal cleanser, I use it on damp skin. It felt gentle and mild so I prefer to use it as a cleanser in the evening after removing my make-up with a separate make-up remover.

With time, I can feel that my skin has become smoother and moisturized, in using this cleanser. My dehydrated skin is much hydrated and the rough texture has been much minimized. It is definitely one of my favourite cleanser for now.

Review : My Scheming Aloe Vera Vitamin E Mask

Product Description
Blended with natural aloe vera extract which possesses rare amino acid, proteins and vitamins. It replenishes moisture to your skin, mends skin, promote metabolism and nourishes skin with sufficient nutrients. Vitamin E is an essential element for anti-oxidant which brightens and whitens skin, leaving you a lighten, smooth brilliant skin you desired!

 

Securely protected within a protective sheet, the material of My Scheming Aloe Vera Vitamin E Mask is pretty thin and actually tears when I am pulling it out of the package. Totally drenched in essence, the sheet mask adheres well on skin and provides an immediate smooth and supple skin right after application although the effect fails to last through the following morning.

Review : Lancome Visionnaire Advanced Skin Corrector

Product Description
An antiaging skin corrector for more beautiful skin. More than a wrinkle-corrector, this product is capable of fundamentally re-creating more beautiful skin. The first skincare product with LR 2412, a molecule designed to propel through skin layers, it triggers a cascading series of micro-transformations along its path. On the surface, wrinkles and pores are visibly corrected. Imperfections like signs of UV damage and acne marks appear diminished.

According to Lancôme, Visionnaire Advanced Skin Corrector is non-comedogenic, non-acnegenic, and dermatologist-tested for safety. It is internationally awarded, clinically proven on multiple ethnicities, and a bestselling fast-acting serum.

A 7ml size of the Visionnaire Advanced Skin Corrector was included in the Lancôme Christmas set which I bought a while ago. I have only been using this once a week for the past 2 months so may not be able to accurately point out how it fares on my skin as an overall presentation.

Heavily fragranced, the 7ml trial size that is Made in France, has an interesting stick encased with the cap although I am not too sure of the benefit of using that stick. The texture is pretty light and runny and sinks into the skin easily, leaving it soft and smooth. However, it doesn't hydrate my skin and a moisturizer is very much needed on my dehydrated skin.

In terms of ingredients, it contains a high amount of alcohol which may face potential free-radical damage and collagen breakdown with daily usage of Lancome Visionnaire Advanced Skin Corrector.
LR 2412 ingredient ( listed as sodium tetrahydrojasmonate ), said to be at 4% concentration is derived from a Jasmine plant. According to Paula, there isn't any conclusive evidence to support the benefits claimed by Lancôme and that any benefits would have been muted by the high amount of alcohol.

With just a weekly usage, any improvement in pores and wrinkles are not visible on my skin at this moment.

Review : 100% Pure Blood Orange Body Wash

 

 

Product Description

100% Vegan, Gluten Free, Cruelty Free

Delicious and richly foaming Blood Orange Hydrating Body Wash is a luxurious wash that gently cleans while it softens, hydrates, and pampers. Hydrating Body Wash leaves you sparkling clean and refreshed while nourishing your skin with vitamins, antioxidants and skin brightening fruits.

One of my favourite brands for body washes, 100% Pure body washes are formulated without detergents, chemical preservatives, artificial fragrances or any other ingredients that can strip or dehydrate your delicate skin. They do not contain synthetic chemicals, artificial fragrances, preservatives, alcohol or any other toxins.

100% Pure Blood Orange Body Wash has a distinct orange scent that smells very citrus-like and is uplifting on a tired morning. Dispensing through a pump dispenser, the body wash does not lather but foams. 5 pumps are sufficient for a luxurious wash  although it also meant you get through the body wash pretty quickly, considering that it is in a 17oz clear plastic bottle.

The consistency is thin, like water and may not fit into most people's likes but I really like it a lot once I got used to the body wash. Skin feels clean and fresh without a layer of oily film on top.
And the pump dispenser is really great, as it reaches right to the end even when the contents are almost used up.

Ingredients :
Organic Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract (Aloe Juice)*, Organic Rosa Centifolia Flower Water (Rose Hydrosol)*, Organic Lavendula Angustifolia Aqua (Lavender Hydrosol)*, Cocos Nucifera (Saponified Coconut) Oil, Blood Orange Essential Oil, Blood Orange Extract, Organic Camelia Sinensis Leaf (Green Tea)*, Calendula Officinalis Flower (Calendula), Opuntia Tuna Fruit (Prickly Pear), Punica Granatum (Pomegranate), Euterpe Oleracea Fruit (Acai Berry), Lycium Barbarum Fruit (Goji Berry), Morinda Citrifolia Fruit (Noni), Aristotelia Chilensis (Maqui Berry), Sambucus Canadensis (Elderberry), Rubus Fruticosus Fruit (Blackberry), Organic Rubus Idaeus Fruit (Raspberry)*, Citrus Grandis (Grapefruit) Seed and Lonicera Caprifolium (Japanese Honeysuckle), Hyaluronic Acid * Certified Organic

Review : Fancl Beauty Concentrate

 

 

 

Product Description
An anti-aging beauty essence that works deep inside skin to improve skin firmness, radiance, translucence and suppleness. Contains High Absorbing Silybin that absorbs deep into skin to remove aging collagen and boost collagen production. Contain Hop Extract and Amino C that eliminate sallow skin and lighten pigments. Formulated with Smooth Emollient Oil that enhances skin's barrier functions to strengthen skin's resilience against external skin stress.

I had a 9ml Fancl Beauty Concentrate from the Fancl Beauty Selection Box and was told that the full retail size is much more expensive. The Beauty Concentrate has an emollient texture that glides smoothly on the skin with some stickiness and a slight oily film that stays on top of the skin.

Using both the Deep Moisture Lotion and Beauty Concentrate has left my skin feeling sufficiently hydrated, soft and supple. Note that this is a serum and a moisturizer is recommended after the Beauty Concentrate application. However, at times, skipping the moisturizer doesn't make my skin any worse. I will just use my sunscreen directly after the Beauty Concentrate.
