Review: Revlon Age Defying Spa Concealer

Remember my post about my October Favorites? I got a few review requests by my readers Eva and Suzanne on this!! One of my everyday-use concealer. Who doesn't want a perfect and flawless skin? Concealers usually do a good job of hiding blemishes by blending the imperfection into the surrounding skin tone. We can survive without a foundation base, but we couldn't survive without a good concealer. Agree or No? :)

Revlon Age Defying Spa Concealer instantly revitalizes and brightens the skin while protects against fine lines. The Stone Therapy minerals ingredient instantly energize stressed skin. Vitamin C fusion for brightens and antioxidants to help strengthen skin’s natural defense systems.

It's WINTER!! Time to get some warm boots!

My friend who is in Nottingham got so excited that he was particularly telling me in the middle of 3.00am that he saw snow outside his hostel. (I don't get snow in my country, so yeah...I can feel his excitement)
So we were practically discussing on the fashion during winter time. So I was suggesting that it's time to warm the feet with a pair of good ugg boots. You couldn't be walking under the snow with slippers right? A pair of a good ugg boots would keep your feet feeling warm and prevents it from drying. So here comes the Ugg Boots by Whooga

Do you anti-frizz?

Frizz is a common enemy whether it's for sleek straight hair or gorgeous tight curls. A bad frizz is a always a bad day for you to start off. But what is Frizz about?
FRIZZ!!

Though some are born with dry, unruly hair, that state of wiriness usually stems from dehydration and damage from chemical processing, excessive heat styling, or UV exposure.

Damage leaves the hair cuticles open when hair strands rub against each other, static builds and cause the kinks. The open cuticles can get entangled with each other too. The result: Frizzy heads. Humidity can make situation worse. Though there is moisture in the air, damaged hair cuticles don't swell evenly-hence the flyaways.

Anti-frizz products help to coat the hair shaft with a very thin layer of silicone which smooths and seals the hair cuticles, to prevent moisture loss. Most products are good on damp or dry hair, and can be used on tandem with other styling products. I started my anti-frizz war about 7 years ago back in high school. During then I was using the pure olive oil to fight the frizz. Well, nothing beats the old traditional way isn't it?


And the result? I got a black, shiny thus a bit oily hair. I always had this thick black hair since I was born and everytime I went into salon, my hairdresser will have the same comment: "your hair is so thick and dark". Some even commented that my hair looks my like a wig. Partially, I should thanks the olive oil for the dark black hair. ^_^
Olive oil for hair
As years grown, I find that olive oil is too oily for my hair to adapt. Thus, I seriously doesn't adores the smell. :p Then I craved in and bought Loreal Elseve Smooth Intense Leave-On Hair Conditioner. Basically I think it did nothing to my hair except my hair is kinda softer. But it was discontinued and new hair serum are launched.
These are those anti-frizz fighters I used
Recommended by my hair stylist, I bought Shiseido Crystalling Aquafix. This is one of my favorite anti-frizz/ hair care products for years. I only use this when my hair is damp and it works wonderful for my damaged rebonded hair! But even the best anti-frizz love affair could come to an end, and so my Pantene Hair Mask went out of the door, Liese Hair Cocktail Serum nicely place in my shelf and lastly Essential Damage Care Nuance Hair Essence (will review it soon) follows me everywhere I go!

Here's a little tip to share being anti-frizz:
* Always follow the rule: A little goes a long-way
* A 10-cent coin size amount of serum is good enough for short to medium length hair
* A longer or thicker hair goes about 20-cent coin size amount of product
* Rub it between palms, then smooth over dry or kinky bits

Have a awesome Sunday and enjoy reading!

Review: Eucerin DermoPURIFYER Skincare

Life's been really busy for me nowadays. As all of you'd heard, my dad had been admitted to hospital for a heart operation. Thanks for all the best wishes and concerns, his condition is getting better now. Due to the hectic and frequently travel back and forth to hospital, I did not have a good sleep or even time to really take care of my skin. :p 

That's when I had a little acne breakout time. Out of coincidence, I was sent to review this Eucerin DermoPURIFYER skincare products.


Eucerin DermoPURIFYER range is an innovative skincare range developed to keep teenagers and adults skin clean, soft and healthy-looking without the drying, irritating effects found in other acne treatment products.  This range contains skin-natural Lactic Acid to effectively eradicate acne, pimples, whiteheads and blackheads.


The problem?? ACNE SKIN?

How Lactic Acid works?     
    TARGETS: clogged pores where acne and skin impurities originate

    Review : Collistar Talasso- Scrub Termoacttivo

    Collistar is one of the famous brand from Italy. Their best selling body treatment Talasso-Scrub was the first exfoliator based on sea salt and essential oils in 1999. Apart from that, with technology advancement they had now launched the upgraded version of the reshaping exfoliating scrub, Talasso-Scrub Termoattivo. Never did I though that I was given a chance to own a "slimming scrub" till Sasa sent this to me.
    You must have been wondering how to this 'reshaping' scrub works?

    Beauty Tip of the Day: Do not spray your perfume on your neck

    Where do you usually spray your perfume? There are certain hot-spot areas that we usually spray our perfume on which are our neck, back of ears and wrists. But do you that it is advisable not to spray the perfume on your neck?
    WHY?!?

    The reason:
    The skin area at the neck is as delicate as our eyes area and the alcohol of the perfume will cause pre-mature aging. (Oh no!!) The alcohol contains in the perfume attracts the sun and magnifies its burning and aging effect which is very bad for our skin!

    So, avoid spraying your perfume on your neck. You don't want your neck to betrays your real age!
    Recommendation:
    The best places or hot-spot areas to spray your perfume are lower inner arm, wrist, back of ears, knees and even your hair. Hold the perfume at a distance of about 8 inches, while spraying it on the hair. It does makes a different. ^_^

    Extra tip for perfume lover:
    To make your perfume last longer, put an unscented moisturizer on first and then spray on your perfume a few seconds later. It works much better on oily surface than on dry skin, preventing it from evaporates quickly.

    Have a nice Sunday and stay beautiful!  ❤ ❤

    Review: EcoTools Bamboo 6 Piece Brush Set

    I am very picky in choosing my makeup brushes. I like good quality brushes especially the synthetic ones. The touch of the brushes on your skin are very important especially when your skin are very sensitive. It makes me feel good when my brushes are gentle for my skin..Hehe XD

    Sometime ago, I finally lay my hands on these EcoTools brushes. Kudos for me~ :p

    EcoTools is an earth friendly set of high quality cosmetic brushes. The really soft bristles are made of cruelty free hair and the handles are made of natural & recycled materials. Say yes to the Earth!  I got myself the EcoTools Bamboo 6 Piece Brush Set from drugstore.com during their 20% sales and I gonna say that I'm loving it!!

    Review: Juju AquaMoist Pure 100H Essence


    I guess everyone here knew about the Juju Aquamoist - The Asia No. 1 Japan skincare series which contained Hyaluronic Acid. Hyaluronic Acid is in a big hype nowadays ever since their hydrating properties had been recognized. Approximately 2 months ago, I was given the one of the most popular items of JUJU AQUAMOIST series for review purposes.

    The best selling item
    Juju AquaMoist Pure 100H Essence. Juju AquaMoist Pure 100H Essence contained 100% pure Hyaluronan/ Hyaluronic Acid which is a real good deal for hydration purposes.
    Some said that it works like a facial mask during the night that creates a thin moisturizing layer to your skin to prevent from the dehydration and helps your skin’s healthy turnover which you can tell the difference the next morning! Sounds awesome?
