Hair Balloon Emollient Silky Mask


Hello lovelies,

recently I stumbled upon a new (new for me) e-commerce from Japan, it is Tocoo.com. The website sells a lot of Japanese products that is made locally and since most of the world in lock down, online shopping has become more important and convenient since we can get stuffs we need from anywhere in the world.

I must say, even as I'm traveling to Japan like twice a year for the past 10 years, still there are many products and items I didn't know or even heard of. Japan itself is a big country where each prefecture have their own natural resources and products.

Now, this product is a silky mask for hair, which some even say hair treatment. So it is meant to be used after shampooing, towel dry the hair, apply around 2-3 pumps (depends on the hair length) directly to the hair (avoid the scalp) from the mid to the ends. Leave it on around 5 minutes or more and then rinse it off. Dry and style like usual. I personally feel that my hair becomes so much softer and silkier. Felt so smooth and like it is has regain much healthier and fuller look. The silky mask doesn't have any strong scent, in fact it is quite mild and scent-less. So the focus is the effects on the hair, so those who like scents on their hair better add some perfume afterwards.

The texture of the silky mask is like a gel that somewhat a bit like stretchy and when applied on the hair, it's like covering each strands and at once the hair looks shinier. So the experience begins the moment using the mask, I do recommend in taking the time when using it, massage it gently on the hair (not scalp) perhaps use a wide tooth brush also so the gel is distributed well all to the ends. Leave it perhaps 10 minutes or more, for a very dry and damage hair.

The hair is repaired with the help of the Emollient Silky Mask, which makes a clear difference in the texture, shine, and feel of hair. Hair is filled with shine from the inside out. This Emollient Silky Mask adds ingredients to penetrate various oils into hair, filling it with moisture. It also contains high-molecular polymers to maintain moisture retention, repair cuticles, and improve shine and slickness. Which of the following 6 problems do you want to solve? The roots are beautiful, but the ends are very dry.

You want to take thorough care of high damage at the tips of your hair. For people whose hair is dry or spreadable at the ends. Those who want to make their hair longer and shinier. People who want to make their hair beautiful and shiny. People whose hair doesn't run smoothly. Focus on hydrophobizing the damaged areas to moisturize the hair from the core, to fill your hair with shine from the inside out. Hydrophobization means...
Damaged hair ends are hydrophilic, which means they easily contain water and do not easily absorb moisture repair ingredients, and they dry out easily and lack luster. By creating a hydrophobic base, hair becomes more supple and slippery, and the effect of repairing hair increases. It will make a clear difference in the feeling of gloss and shine and the way it moves through your fingers. This is the "Emollient Silky Mask". Pseudo-CMC ingredients and various oils are infiltrated into the hair to fill the hair with moisture.

It also contains polymeric polymers to maintain moisture retention, cuticle repair, shine, and smoothness. The thin pseudo-CMC ingredient hydrophobizes the cuticle. Its contents are a combination of high molecular polymers and CMC, Kupas Butter, Rose Hip, Jojoba, Olive, Macadamia Nut, Squalane, etc., various oils, collagen and amino acids are enriched with a penetrating agent to quickly deliver the active ingredients to the inside of the hair, restoring its moisture retention function and making damaged hair moisturized and shiny. The main feature of this product is the unprecedented hair penetration enhancer (ACRIO), which makes it excellent at penetrating hair, and various repair ingredients penetrate deep into the hair, effectively repairing damage.

What users are saying about this product. "I couldn't wait, and I finally did it! Smooth! It's a pretty good effect once, so I tried the second recommended procedure. It was a great decision to order a larger one. Thank you! I used it right away. It's so good! It was everything I expected... well, more than that! High-damaged hair changed in one fell swoop! Hair is now more manageable and slippery to the touch. Even the ends of my hair, which used to get tangled easily, are now smooth and manageable. I don't need to go to the hair salon for expensive treatments anymore.
 
 That's how effective this treatment is. Hair is a woman's life. When I used the reed oil and silky mask in the in-bath, I was amazed at how good it felt. I used the reed oil and silky mask in the in-bath and was amazed at how good it felt as I ran it through my hair. I'm so glad I found Hair Balloons, because I can't get anything else from them. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. As soon as I picked it up, I was so impressed with the soft and stretchy mask, I put it firmly in my hair and just dried it with a hair dryer. My normally dry hair didn't feel fluffy and floaty, and my hair looked somehow more relaxed, so I am happy to email you to report and thank you for your help! I wish I had used this product sooner."
 
 [How to use] After rinsing off the shampoo. Leave it on for 2 minutes and then wash it off. Apply a few drops of oil to the ends of hair (3 to 10 pushes depending on length) and let it blend into the palm of your hand. Apply a layer of the emollient silky mask on top of this and leave on for 2-3 minutes, then rinse well.

The product is sold for around 59$ at

[Ingredients] Water, natural fermentation ethanol, floral water (pesticide-free), essential oil, plant deodorizer. [Content] 20 ml

I've been using the spray for weeks now and I'm enjoying it.
Seiokan itself is a brand that launch L'essentiel du Japon, and has been around since 1936 in the aromatherapy industry promoting beautiful scents that is gorgeous and healthy.

They have a wide varieties of scents and I just happen to be interested in autumn since I have never been in an autumn in Japan and always wonder what is the scent would be like. I must say, the minute I sprayed it on, I feel like I'm walking among the trees which leaves has turn red and golden, beautiful and reminiscent. The scent itself is a bit earthy, warm and delicately sweet.

Since the pandemic all over the world, we are required to use a face mask on daily basis, for the rest of the world it might be something that 'kinda new' but for Japanese, they use face mask almost any other day. They have the best social etiquette where when you're unwell, do wear a mask to avoid other people getting sick, so it's not just something that was used by surgeons or people in the intensive care unit. Or when there's hay season or usually during spring to avoid pollen, Japanese people use mask and it is common to use it. When we travel to Japan, way before Covid-19, they are already using face masks for decades, and they even invented so many different types of face mask and accessories that goes along with it.

Using masks on daily basic can be boring and let's face it aside from it, sometime, our breath is not really pleasing too, so these kind of aroma makes it bearable or even somehow something we look forward to. The formula comes with an antibacterial as well as floral water and deodorizer, do try it I think the product is worth having.

  • GREAT APPLICABILITY – Pour La Peau sunscreen can be applied on multiple occasions; during daily outdoor activities and sports, when re-applying on make-up or when traveling. TSA travel-friendly size
-*-


The product comes in a bright lovely orange hue and white orange box packaging that filled with details from ingredients (English) and others which mostly is in Korean, so I'm quite lucky to be able to find some information in English from googling and in Hicharis too. You can purchase or check more info at https://hicharis.net/carnellin/1tl2

-*-


I must say, I've tried so many sun protection product, from creams, lotion, gel, spray, to powders and this one is actually one of my favorite. Since the texture itself at first it is liquid and watery, but once distributed it was more like a liquid powder, so it gives me a powdery feeling and very comfortable.

The hue is powdery white with a hint of pinky tone that was said due to the calamine. Calamine itself is a well-known ingredient that calms, soothe and help the skin in needs when irritation occur. People who suffers from chickenpox are often recommended to use Calamine by doctors.

Aside from Calamine, the product also contain centella, hyottuynia cordata, aloe vera leaf extract, totarol.

These highlighted ingredients are said to do sebum control, detox, would healing skin recovery effect, anti bacterial, moisture barrier to the skin and many more.

-*-


The bottle is shaped like tube and what I like about the exterior is that it is so smooth and easy to hold. When I opened the cap, the tip is uniquely shaped like an hour glass. To get the liquid out, we just need to gently squeeze it, remember it's a watery consistency, so without the need of too much effort, the liquid will comes out.

There's nothing inside the tube beside the sunscreen, usually there's a metal ball that helps us shake the liquid, but perhaps it is not necessary with this formula, which seems like solid and uniform enough.

-*-



At first, it will looked white like this, but after spreading the lotion well, they will turn into transparent in no time. There's a hint of scents, perhaps a mild perfume, but not overbearing and not too much. My skin appears comfortable using the product, I don't see any negative results, there's no greasy nor shiny effects, it's just normal matte skin condition, and there's no stickiness whatsoever.

So I can gladly say that it felt good on my facial skin, I can apply makeup afterwards and great for touching up too. Since the SPF and PA is quite high and promote long term usage, I don't have to keep reapplying, maybe only when I'm doing a very busy or active physical exercise that involves a sweat and water like sea or swimming pool.

-*-



So the product is perfect not just as a city sunscreen but everyday all around, from exercise outdoor, to swim and even at the beach and ocean. The physical sunscreen also works well on the skin for everyone since it's not like chemical sunscreen. I personally prefer physical sunscreen since I don't have to wait, I can simply apply it and go outside immediately. Same goes with reapplying.

-*-


If you buy the product from https://hicharis.net/carnellin/1tl2 you can get special price and they do shipped worldwide.

For 25$ this baby is yours.

Bardi Smart Home, Smart Light Bulb, IR Remote, and Indoor Static IP Camera

Hello lovelies,

How are you? Semoga kalian semua dalam kondisi yang baik dan sehat ya. So, recently, thanks to Bardi dan Beaute Femme Community, I got a chance to try on Bardi Smart Home system with some of their home appliances.

Ada Smart Light Bulb, Smart IR Remote, dan Smart Indoor Static IP Camera. Jelas, aku excited banget nyobain ketiga produk ini gara-gara sering nonton acara TV dimana pemilik rumah tinggal voice command dan rumahnya melakukan semua apa yang diminta, "Nyalakan AC, matikan lampu, mood lampu sesuai music yang aku dengar ya.", dan lain sebagainya. Udah menghayal kemana-mana saat tahu akan menerima produk ini, tapi ya jujur, ada juga kekhawatiran, mudah gak ya pengaplikasiannya?

Nah, mari kita bedah satu persatu.

-*-





Ketiga produk ini datang dengan box yang designnya simple dan minimalis tapi semua informasi diberikan lengkap. Selain fungsi dan pemakaian energi, pada pamflet didalam box juga diberikan step-by-step guide, jadi saat membuka box nya, perlahan-lahan kekhawatiran aku hilang.

Hal pertama yang aku lakukan setelah membuka box dan membaca detail informasi adalah mendownload aplikasi Bardi Smart Home (free) yang tersedia di android, pemakai iPhone juga tersedia di App Store, buat kamu yang masih mau bertanya-tanya dulu dan mencari tahu lebih banyak bisa whatsapp Bardi di +628111797911

-*-






Setelah box dibuka, wah, pertama kali melihat produk-produk ini kok lucu-lucu ya, designnya monochromatic dan pas secara ukuran. Setiap item datang dengan chargernya masing-masing, kecuali Smart Light Bulb yang tentunya kita pasangkan dengan rumah lampu yang kita miliki. Bisa lampu meja, lampu di ruangan dan lampu apapun yang kamu ingin pasangkan. Aku sempat kepikiran untuk menjadikan lampu outdoor depan rumah aku, karena warna-warninya itu seru banget, bisa membantu merubah suasana depan rumah aku apalagi saat malam tiba, biar pas bulan-bulan tertentu agak spooky, saat Valentine aku pasang warna pink dan lainnya.

Ah ya, balik ke setting ya, jadi setelah mendownload aplikasi Bardi Smart Home, aku mulai pairing satu persatu. Paling mudah di pair adalah Smart Light Bulb, waktunya relatif lebih singkat dibanding IR Remote dan Indoor Static IP Camera. Tidak berbeda jauh sih, mungkin pairing Smart Light Bulb butuh 2-3 menit, Indoor Static IP Camera butuh 5-7 menit dan IR Remote sekitar 7-10 menit termasuk waktu menunggu masing-masing alat dirumah untuk terkoneksi dengan IR Remote (TV, AC, dsb).

-*-




Indoor Static IP Camera aku letakkan di kamar anakku dengan pemikiran safety (dan mungkin ini merupakan banyak alasan orang tua membeli camera seperti ini untuk dipasang didalam rumah), mungkin untuk menjaga keamanan anak-anak dirumah bersama pengasuh atau mungkin yang memiliki orang tua dengan bantuan pengurus.

Daya tangkapnya sangat baik dan bisa membantu kita menyalurkan suara dari apliakasi. Jadi saat ingin menyampaikan pesan secara langsung, kita bicara dengan app (mungkin di smartphone) dan akan langsung disampaikan oleh Camera.

Berikut detail lengkap dari Bardi:

"Bardi Smart IP Camera adalah kamera pintar yang dapat menyalurkan video berikut suara kepada smartphone dan suara dari smartphone.

Kamera Bardi memiliki slot sd card max 128GB (tidak termasuk) dan dapat memberi notifikasi bila ada yang lewat pada jam yang di tentukan dalam aplikasi. Pada posisi gelap akan otomatis switch ke night vision."

-*-





Berikut penampakan pada smartphone, kita bisa melihat secara live, HD,  dan full color, melakukan screenshot, speaker, record, playback, cloud storage, alarm and everything we can do in the touch of our fingers.

Pastinya camera semacam ini sangat berguna juga di office, toko, dan sebagainya dimana keamanan dan pengamatan sangat diperlukan. IP Camera perlu terkoneksi dengan listrik non stop dan sambungan wifi atau internet yang baik.

-*-




Next, aku mencoba IR Remote:

"Bardi Smart IR Remote adalah pemancar infrared pintar yang bisa di kendalikan melalui aplikasi selama ada wifi/hotspot.

Remot ini dapat menggantikan semua remot infrared dengan mayoritas sudah ada dalam daftar dan bila tidak ada, bisa di duplikat signal infrared dari remot lama ke remot Bardi."

Alat ini terlihat seperti lingkaran hitam yang cukup mungil dan warnanya hitam solid di seluruh permukaan. Setelah di pair dengan aplikasi Bardi Smart Home di smartphone, kita tinggal assign peralatan di rumah kita untuk teregistrasi, untuk saat ini aku hanya memasangkan dengan TV dan AC, karena kedua remote ini kadang punya kaki dan bisa jalan-jalan sendiri. Belum lagi kadang umur remote yang tidak terlalu lama atau mudah rusak, dengan adanya IR Remote, aku gak perlu lagi menggunakan banyak remote dirumah dan semua digantikan dengan satu apliasi Bardi Smart Home dalam satu smartphone.

Produk Bardi juga masih banyak seperti Smart Lights, Smart Pet Series, Smart Security System. Produk Bardi powered by Tuya, global ai+iot terkemuka di dunia dan bisa melakukan voice command atau perintah suara dengan alexa, google assistant, dan siri. Buat kamu yang tertarik, semua produk Bardi ada di berbagai marketplace, tinggal search aja, pasti ketemu. Kisaran harga produk Bardi masih di angka Rp.100 rb, jadi cukup terjangkau ya.

-*-



Saat IR Remote difungsikan, aku assign TV dan bisa memilih jenis remote yang paling sesuai dengan type TV aku, demikian pula dengan AC, kita bisa memilih merk dan spesifikasi yang diinginkan. Tentunya merk dan teknologi home appliance yang kita miliki berpengaruh, aku merasa lebih mudah menghubungkan produk yang baru diproduksi selama 5 tahun terakhir ini dibandingkan produk lama.

Mungkin berhubungan dengan teknologi atau 'ketajaman sinyal' masing-masing alat tersebut, aku juga kurang mengerti, namun sepertinya begitu di rumah aku.

-*-



Last but not least, Smart Light Bulb yang bikin aku asli hyper, anak-anakku pun, karena kita semua senang banget bisa punya lampu yang cukup satu, tapi spectrum warnanya melingkupi hampir semua warna yang ada di banyak toko cat. Cukup satu bohlam, ambiance ruangan menjadi berbeda, mood pun menjadi lebih dimanja, bahkan kalau kita mendengarkan music ada warna-warni lampu yang mengikuti alunan dentum music yang kita dengarkan.

Aku sendiri masih mengeksplor beberapa tone, yang aku sukai mulai dari penampilan sunset atau matahari terbenam di pinggir pantai, pilihan ini ada di 'scene', kita bisa memilih dan assign sesuai dengan yang kita inginkan.

-*-




Pilihan warnanyapun sangat sensitif dan lembut. Every color comes with their own option of brightness dan contrast, amazing right?! Makanya kemarin pas baru install, kita semua sibuk 'mainin' lampu ini sampai 3 jam. Malampun kita ditemani dengan lampu pink lembut yang katanya bagus untuk membawa suasana menjadi lebih relaks. Karena sangat soft, kami nikmati 'nuance' dari tone warna tersebut dengan kesan yang sangat lembut.

Dan seperti pilihan diatas, bisa terlihat kitapun bisa memilih warna yang sangat bold dan berani. Imagine having all these options for your youtube video and beauty photo shoots.

-*-





Soft pink lembut dan deep purplish blue menjadu warna-warna favorit aku saat ini, namun pastinya, aku akan terus mencoba warna-warna lain sesuai dengan mood aku. It's trully a liberating experience with Smart Light Bulb, akupun merasa lebih bisa berkreasi dan menikmati ambiance di ruangan dengan lampu tersebut, now I wish all my light bulbs are from Bardi.

-*-





Thank you so much for Bardi for bringing us this wonderful innovation, buat kamu yang mau cobain, what are you waiting for, get yours now and live in the future.
