LAC Taut Gold Standard Collagen Infusion Mask

everbluec — Wed, 16 May 2012 17:02:18 GMT

LAC Taut Gold Standard Collagen Infusion Mask is a facial mask that slips luxuriously onto your face to infuse concentrated premium collagen-enriched essence to firm, hydrate and brighten your complexion in just 7-10 minutes!

This intensive treatment mask smoothens deep and fine lines, infuses skin with precious moisture and lightens stubborn skin discolorations and dull skin. Antioxidant ingredients target dark spots and wrinkles caused by ageing and environmental pollution.

This mask is recommended for even the most sensitive skin type and especially for complexion with visible signs of ageing, dehydration and dullness

For the past few months, I tried to mask every week instead of once or twice per month. BUT BUT BUT... I'm lazy~

I find masking abit messy and troublesome..... plus I have a habit to mask after I showered and not rushing anywhere, so it's mostly done at night! Which kinda defeats the purpose of masking right?? Should mask it before heading out for a clearer, brighter and hydrated appearance!

Anyway, In this entry... I'm going to do first impression review of this mask ^_^

Ingredients list...

Here's my first impression of LAC Taut Gold Standard Collagen Infusion Mask

The Mask sheet feel like a "jumbo size mask" it abit bigger then the masks I've tried before - and I like the part where the sheet for the nose was abit longer(can cover the tip of my nose)... and the cut hole for the eyes are so HUGE!

The texture of the mask feel like a cotton sheet and it's abit thick compare to the normal "korean" masks that I've tried before.

Even with wider/larger size and thicker texture mask - it still fit nicely on my face.

Feel refreshing and soothing

Doesn't have the stinging/burning sensation.
Didn't cause any skin irritation
Didn't cause any break-out too

Very moisturizing

Soft refreshing sweet floral scent
Skin feel abit firm
Fine lines look less dry
Pores does look minimized

After washing off the excess serum, skin feel supple and smooth
Complexion look abit brighter
Skin feel well hydrated, supple and smooth
The redness on my cheeks does look abit lighter

The effect last till next day

I do enjoy the 10mins masking time

After 10 mins, the mask still feel moist.(Not messy at all as the serum didn't drip off my face/mask)

Price: SD$49.50 for a box of 5pcs masks
Available exclusively at GNC stores islandwide.

keratherapy Keratin Infused Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner

everbluec — Mon, 14 May 2012 16:30:50 GMT

[Review]

Last month, received a set of Keratherapy Haircare products from Diora Professionnel.

And after trying it out on and off for a month.... here's my thoughts on this set of keratin infused shampoo and conditioner.

Keratin Infused Moisture Shampoo
Price: USD$19.00 [10.1oz/300ml]

Rich in antioxidants and pure keratin, the moisturizing shampoo gently cleanses keeping critical essential oils intact. The moisturizing Shampoo boosts moisture, resiliency and strength for soft, shiny, healthy-looking hair. Great for all hair types including color treated hair. Free of sulfates and Sodium Chloride. Recommended for use after keratin treatment.

Gently cleanses the hair
Protects against environmental and styling damage
Rebuilds and strengthens the hair
Derived from natural certified organic ingredients
Free of sulfates and Sodium Chloride
Color safe
Safe to use after all keratin treatment

Keratin Infused Moisture Conditioner
Price: USD$19.00 [10.1oz/300ml]

Moisturizing conditioner contains hair superfoods such as wheat germ oil and aloe leaf juice to smooth and mend the hair. Essential vitamins and pure keratin deliver intense moisture to quench hair's thirst, while shielding it from daily environmental and styling damage. This formula is free of sulfates and sodium chloride so it won't fade or strip color-treated hair. Great for all hair types.

Protects against environmental and styling damage

Rebuilds and strengthens the hair

Derived from natural certified organic ingredients

Replenishes hair with vital moisture

Free of sulfates and Sodium Chloride

Great for all hair types

I think, I do not have to repeat on what type of hair/scalp I have right? (Oh well, I think I should - Just for new visitors/readers ^_^)

OK, I have oily and sensitive scalp, oily hair - dry tips.
Born with super straight hair, but now because of "aging" ... my hair become abit fine and wavy(look abit messy).....
I love big volume type of hair.. so I will try to use products that will make my hair look dry(not oily nor wet) and give me alot of volume on the crown.

Here's my "review/thoughts" on how I feel about this set of Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner

For sulfates and Sodium Chloride free products, the shampoo lather and foam up really well!

Shampoo is really moisturizing BUT it does cleanse well too!
scalp feel nice and didn't cause any irritation or clogged bumps
Oil control was pretty average for oily scalp.

When rinising off the shampoo, hair doesn't have that streaky clean type of feel.
(Wash away bad oil and keep the good oil on the hair/scalp)

when hair is dry... hair feel smooth(without using the conditioner) and sleek
(I means on my oily scalp and somewhat oily roots/dry tips)

Scalp doesn't feel itchy nor stuffy
Hase a nice soft and sweet Floral scent
Didn't notice any different on hair loss/dropped during washing(it's feel pretty much the same as I use other shampoo)

This set of shampoo and conditioner were soooooo moisturizing that my hair look so neat and FLAT (I don't quite fancy flat hair). So after using both for 8 days... I rotated it with other shampoo(that was meant for oily scalp). And now I use this set of products on alternate week.

Shampoo and Conditioner are suitable for all hair types.
Personally, I think this would be most suitable for dry or fizzy hair types.

Christophe Robin Shade Variation Color

everbluec — Sun, 13 May 2012 18:38:43 GMT

[Sharing - New Launch]

Recently, Escentials launched an easy coloring range that could be adapted to different uses with really natural results by Christophe Robin - Shade Variation Color.

Women no longer want tones that don’t match their natural coloring. People often choose to have a real coloring, to cover their grey hairs, shade them or even lighten their hair. To ensure coloring is as convenient as possible, it’s important; it’s temporary, avoids oxidation and strengthens the hair.

“I wanted to develop an easy coloring range that could be adapted to different uses with really natural results to suit every type of hair color. Coloring today has to offer natural results....." Christophe Robin

Came in 5 shade variation shades.
These works in a similar way to a foundation cream, provide just the right quantity of pigments to bring out your natural color and restore their original shade.

Based on a deep care treatment, these five shades are subtly balanced for:

BABY BLOND : helps blonds avoid grey or yellow hair

GOLDEN BLOND : bring it back to a natural radiant golden shade and add a warm glow

CHIC RED : colors red hair for a trendy, venetian red tone

WARM CHESTNUT : restores bronze tones to chestnut hair for dazzling results

ASH BROWN : fades orange hues in pure brown hair to avoid artificial tones

The two shades CHIC RED and WARM CHESTNUT disguise early grey hairs by transforming them into
highlights.

COMPONENTS
Buriti oil, Almond butter, soft blond pigments and apricot kernel oil, oxidant, ammoniac, paraben and silicon free.

CLAIMS AND BENEFITS

Anti-oxidant and nourishing action: Buriti oil: extremely rich in provitamin A and almond butter (soothing and nourishing).

Gradual coloring action: a selection of soft blond pigments combined with apricot kernel oil for a pure, translucent hair color.

A mask texture: nourishing and non-greasy. The overall result; rich and shiny hair that is healthy, cascading with beautiful apricot highlights that everyone will want to touch.

APPLICATION
Apply on clean hair.

Emulsify, leave on for 5 to 30 minutes depending on the intensity of color desired, and rinse.Please perform a 48 hour skin test on a small area of the scalp, prior to application in order to avoid any allergic reaction to this product. Avoid product in eyes, rinse with plenty of water should this occur. Thoroughly wash hands after each application. Avoid contact with eyes.

NOTE: Results last for approximately 3-5 shampoos.

Price:
SD$72.00

This is part 2 of the "LUSH Party" featuring the goodies that they provided for us to sample :)

Yuzu and Coca Bubbleroon
A bright and uplifting citrusy bubble bar with a rich warm hint of cacoa and tonka. This bubbleroon contains lashings of coconut oil and shea butter to help pamper and nourish your skin, leaving it soft and supple.

How to use::
Crumble under running eater as you fill the tub. The stronger the water pressure, the more bubbles you get.

Alternative uses::
If you don't have a bathtub, pamper yourself by using in a foot or hand soak.

Ultimate Shine Shampoo Bar
This glamourous, violet-scented solid shampoo does exactly what it says; it gives gloriously soft locks with ultimate shine! It even contains golden glitter for subtle shimmer to boost your shine even more. Fragrant ylang ylang makes dull hair gleam, while elemi oil and violet leaf helps to decongest and tone the scalp.

How to use:
Lather between hands and work into hair. Also can glide the wet shampoo bar through the length of your hair a few times and work into a lather. Rinse thoroughly and follow with a LUSH conditioner for super glossy tresses.

Tips:
Keep the solid shampoo bar in a cool, dry places between uses(away from water) - recommend using a LUSH shampoo bar tin

Friends with Benefits Massage Bar
LUSH very friendly massage bar comes with benefits, because it's chock full of marigold oil, which is used not only for it's lovely fragrance, but also because it keeps skin calm and clear. It also contains Fair Trade organic cocoa butter and cocoa absolute to make this bar smell extra chocolate-y!

How to use:
Glide directly over dry skin; it will melt upon contact. Rub it in, or better yet, get somene to do it for you.

Tips:
Massage bars melt at body temperature, so keep it somewhere cool, dry and out of direct sunlight.

Miranda Soap
Fantastic for clearing up congested skin and refreshing weary spirits, Miranda is a sweet fruity soap that will brighten up your day. Miranda contains fresh organic kiwi fruits to gently cleanse, tone and brighten. Kiwis are also packed with vitamin C and cleansing fruit enzymes to revive the skin.

How to use:
Use for hands or for body.

Tips:
For optimal longevity, keep the soap in a well-drained soap dish (away from water) between uses.

Ro's Argan Body Conditioner
Ro's Argan Body Conditioner is a decadent, rose- scented "shower lotion" that leaves skin oh so soft and gorgeously-scented. It contains argan oil, which is rich in vitamin E and essential fatty acids that help to improve the elasticity of the skin. It has incredible anti-aging properties. It also contains an infusion of cypress, which is a cooling herb that is said to help with sweating problems.

How to use:
After washing, apply generously all over, leave it on for a few minutes, then rinse and pat dry.

Alternative use:
Try using it as a shaving cream for silky-smooth skin.

I have tried this afew times and I really adore the beautiful and soothing rose scent - not too powdery or too strong!
After rinsing off, skin feel silky smooth and surprizingly hydrated(if you leave it on for a min before rinsing off). Actually, I don't mind if this leave an oily film - but it doesn't!! It does have the "conditioner" feel which wasn't sticky nor stuffy at all.

The hydrating/moisturizing feel was quite similar to oil bath. But oil bath sometimes feel abit too heavy while this body conditioner doesn't (Maybe I didn't use ALOT).

The first few times using this.. I rinse it off right after applying and I do not feel any different! No "WOW" feel about this product... until I read the release/label!!!!! (Blur me! lolx)

LUSH Party @ Wisma

everbluec — Fri, 11 May 2012 19:03:33 GMT

A couple week ago, attended a small and sweet little Lush party at their LUSH store. A little party for us to see see, touch touch around the store.... and of-course the freedom of taking any pictures we like ^_^

To be frank, I'm not a soap fan.. I very much prefer shower foam, gel, lotion... anything in liquid form! I'm lazy to think about ways of keeping the soap dry and free from bacteria!!!

BUT... LUSH had made me wanna try their soap bars for oh so many times.... because they smell and look so good and cute!!!!

Till now, I only tried their lip balms, shower jelly and .... 3 of their soap bars - Rockstar(is that the name?) and I can't remember the others =b

This little LUSH Party theme was "ROSE"... and they welcome us with a stalk of rose and bundang(rose water + milk)...

Why rose? That's because of Ro's Argan Body Conditioner (there's a promotion on this product too!).

Ro's Argan Body Conditioner is a decadent, rose-scented "shower lotion" (conditioner for the body) that leaves the skin oh so soft and gorgeously-scented.

It contains argan oil, which is rich in Vitamin E and essential fatty acids, that helps to improve the elasticity of the skin. It has incredible anti-aging properties. It also contain an infusion of cypress, which is a cooling herb that is said to help with swating problems.
