W~III Skincare

Hello lovelies,

those who are following me on instagram or youtube, must have known about my recent love, it's W~III Skincare from Taiwan. Please do watch the video at my youtube channel (here) before continue reading the post. You'll see the texture as well.

On the video, I'll share with you two products I've received and in this post it will be three, Night Cream, Essence (or serum) and Day Cream. I've been using the Night Cream and Essence since perhaps two weeks before receiving the Day Cream, and now, I'm using them continuing the routine.

-*-



Look at the packaging, they look gorgeous, right?! Some even say the container itself is luxurious. I do agree, and the one that made me interested in the products even more, is what's in it.

Let's start with the details of the essence or serum.

Skin Remodeling Essence

W~III Skin Remodeling Essence contains rich GHK-Cu Copper Peptide Complex functioned as an

activator of tissue remodeling. This essence effectively smooths fine lines and deep wrinkles, improves

skin elasticity, improves skin clarity, promotes the production of dermal fibroblasts returning the skin

cells back to a young stage.

Suitable for all skin types.

Skin Rejuvenating Day Cream

W`III Skin Rejuvenating Day Cream is formulated with the combination of multi moisture-loving 

ingredients and anti-oxidants that are excellent for retaining skin moisture, nourishing and helping skin 

heal. It is also enriched with GHK-Cu Copper Peptide Complex to make your skin become more firm, 

radiant, smooth, and supple, giving you a youthful appearance.

Intense Skin Treatment Night Cream

All world class BEST anti-aging ingredients working together while you sleep: 

GHK-Cu Copper Peptide Complex, Moringa Oleifera Seed Oil, Macadamia Oil, Shea Butter. Waking 

up the next day will never be the same again. 

Suitable for all skin type.

Where did I get all of these information? From the people who understand the brand and even I met with some of them during last week event, a beauty convention in Jakarta. I thought I already learn a lot when I was given a product knowledge but I understand even more when I met them, and one more good news, W~III will open their first counter soon in Jakarta.

-*-

What so good about W~III Skincare?

Here's a bit of everything inside each of the products:

GHK-Cu Copper Peptide

(Works beyond Retinoic Acid & Vitamin C. As researched by Dr. Loren Pickart)

Beta Glucan

(The Most Powerful Natural Immune Enhancer Known to Science)

Shea Butter, Aloe Vera, Moringa Oleifera Seed Oil, Macadamia Oil, etc.

(Natural, rich in antioxidant & moisture loving ingredients)

And here what's not in it:

Paraben-Free. Lanolin-Free. Mineral Oil-Free. Cruelty-Free

No Artificial Colors. No Sodium Lauryl Sulfate

So it is a pure effective ingredients with high efficacy and no bad stuffs.

-*-

Nerd alert, this is for those who really want to know the research behind W~III Skincare, and I must say, it does contain a handful of difficult words, don't be embarrassed, do google up. I really feel the need showing you this since, for me, it's ground breaking and mind blowing too. Like they did a pretty serious stuff in finding the right ingredients and formula for that highly effective skincare that made any other skincare in the market (no matter how pricey they are) looks less beneficial.

And please do compare W~III with other high quality skincare on its class, and not that mass produce stuffs that really bad for your skin where it is filled with bad chemicals and water only.

β-glucans are notable for their ability to modulate the immune system. They work in an incredibly powerful way by stimulating the activity of

macrophages, which are versatile immune cells that ingest and demolish invading pathogens. As they do so, they stimulate other immune cells

to attack. Macrophages also release cytokines, chemicals that when secreted enable the immune cells to communicate with one another. In

addition, beta glucans stimulate lethal white blood cells that bind to tumors or viruses, and release chemicals to destroy it. Not surprisingly

then, they turn out to be useful antioxidants. One study found that yeast-derived beta-glucan could reduce free radical formation in vitro.

For ages, it was believed that the large molecular structure of beta glutens would prevent them from effectively penetrating the skin. This all

changed a few years ago with a study published in International Journal of Cosmetic Science. The results showed that beta-glucan, “despite its

large molecular size, deeply penetrated the skin into the epidermis and dermis.” The same team tested 27 people to evaluate the effects of

beta-glucan on facial fine lines and wrinkles. After 8 weeks, there was “a significant reduction of wrinkle depth and height, and overall

roughness.”

So after the penetration issue was resolved, a team at the University of Alberta discovered how. It seems that the beta glucan enters the skin

the same way that water penetrates a brick wall. “It does not go through the brick, it goes through the concrete binding the bricks together,”

explained the lead scientist. “As a result of our study, we now know that glucan works through the inter-cellular lipid matrix, or the cells’

cement, to enter the lower levels of the skin. Of medical significance is the fact that beta glucan creams promote wound healing and reduction

in scaring following surgical procedures.”

Other researchers believe that beta glucan stimulates collagen, possibly by inducing the release of immune/inflammatory mediators, such as

IL-1 and NFkB.

Need me to sum it up?
Basically, the ingredients help healing, build immune, strong antioxidant, reduce scar in a significant way (obvious to the naked eye), reduce wrinkle and lines too, and many more. And in my case, the first visible sign is the pores, they literally shrunk to a soft and smooth appearance.

-*-

Above is the serum, I put some in a small bowl and the below image are is for Day Cream (lighter blue with gel like consistency) and Night Cream, slightly purplish with richer cream like texture that easily drank by the skin.

All of their products contain no colorant, so the 'blue-ness' are from the natural ingredients with high concentrate and really good for the skin.

I love their smell, it's so faint and floral. Signs of using natural ingredients for sure. All of them, from the essence, day and night cream works hand in hand in creating a better skin for me. Even thou' their texture is really light (those with normal to oily skin can enjoy), dry skin like mine is happy also. It is enough. I can add another hydrating emulsion when needed but these three is a great anti aging formula that I can't even compare.

Trust me when I said that I've tried so many skincare in the market, from the luxurious to mediocre, and again, I want to speak in the level that is somewhat equal with W~III and it's superb.

I'm almost 40 years old, hence I know the real issues of aging. I'm living it, and I've been using anti aging products before reaching 25, almost all the high end brands in the market has landed on my skin, I know their texture, scents, they effectiveness and some even faults too. I can say that W~III Skincare, actually works, they made differences.

-*-

I used to have normal skin in my 20's and change to dry and sensitive, it's normal for a skin to change perspective and changing products according to the skin's need and W~III filled the skin with the needs I am right now. Lines, some large pores, some sensitiveness, dehydration, uneven skin tone to some dark spots.

Using W~III Skincare (especially the Night Cream and Essence) for around 3 weeks now, I can see that the skin appear healthier in terms of fading spot, smaller pores as mentioned above that made my skin appear smoother, to help in even out the skin tone. The fine lines near the eyes are definitely reducing, so does some other fine lines. The laughing lines are reducing too, and I hope it'll keep reducing so my skin appear younger and healthier.

The Essence is powerful yet so light and comfortable, the Day Cream is like a cool refreshing gel that hydrates and perfect for the day, and the Night Cream replenish the skin even more when we asleep, none of them have heavy texture, none of them is greasy, all of them are so easy to be used and show amazing result.

Thank you so much, I'll keep you updated with the W~III Skincare that I have, and continue using it until finish, stay tune, I think I'll make a video for them soon.

Clinique Smart Custom-Repair Serum

Hello lovelies,

it's time for one of the best serum I've tried, like it's name, it is smart, custom-repair, yet it tackles so many problems according to your skin's needs.

i don't know about you, but there are times where I don't know which problems I have to deal first, is it the spots, lines or loss of firmness or even uneven skin tone, now, a serum that help me 'erase' all of those problems.

-*-

http://www.clinique.com

•

•

-*-

All the necessary details are provided at the box, and there's also a pamphlet inside the box, plus you could always check out their website for a video and more information.

-*-

Above are the list of ingredients, there's really a lot isn't it?!

When I first got the product, the thing that comes into my mind is that, "wow, this is exactly what I need" and all in one solution so I don't have to use multiple serum, or use one serum at a time and then change on another time for another issue. This could be my all at once solution, but still, I do have some doubts as can a serum be that good, would it be too rich or too much?

-*-

First, let's start with the container, it look sleek and sophisticate-ly smart in this clear with metal inner tube and details in black. The pump is always an excellent choice for a skincare since it helps in terms of being hygienic and practicality.

Two pumps is around this much and this is what the serum looks like. Slightly gooey, like a gel, but in this milky dark yellowish tone, and surprisingly very comfortable when used.

-*-

Apply it on clean skin after cleansing and toning, spread evenly using a light massaging movement upwards direction and the first thing I felt is a firming action when the gels are melting onto the skin. I enjoy the feeling when using the serum, like a thin film that covering the whole skin, creating magic.

-*-

After the serum, I proceed with a moisturizer that provide mainly moisture from the Clinique family as well, dramatically different moisturizing lotion + for very dry to dry combination skin. And they works well together. The serum provided everything else that I need aside from the moisturizer and the moisturizer provide moisture, for me it's a match.

I love how my skin become firmer, more radiant, less problems from the agings dilemma like dark spots, uneven skin tone and lines. The effects are not dramatics but on weekly basis and the skin will keep on improving from week to week.

-*-

Overall, one of my favorite serum in terms of texture and efficacy, and definitely one of the smartest serum I've used since it tackles so many problems at once and I do recommend it for anyone above 30 or perhaps when you see many things wants to be fixed altogether without wasting your time.

When used, I don't experience any allergic reaction, redness, nor any discomfort. The serum also works well with moisturizers and doesn't leave a sticky nor greasy end.

Thank you Clinique Indonesia.

Facial firmness is quickly restored and the contour is refined. Plus, the complexion is unified and the skin recovers lost radiance and vitality.

-*-


Yes, you've read it correctly, it provide firmness, radiance, hydration, vitality, and it's like an elixir of youth in a bottle.

A lot of products in the market nowadays gives either one or two solution within a range, they are 'more specific' and caters a few issues at once. They are not wrong because some might need only in those minutes, but aging comes in many different ways and affecting all of the above.

-*-

Lack of radiance, dull skin, uneven skin tone, sagging and wrinkly lines everywhere. It might not be all at once at the same time, but gradually or on some people, all at once. But in the end, aging are creating all those issues which we want to tackle.

SAMPAR L'Impossible C-Rum caters everything that we could think of regarding the aging process. One serum known and named as L'Impossible C-Rum.

-*-

I'm in the mid 30's now and clearly my skin has started the aging process the minute I left 20's. I need products that help the skin beyond hydration. Like when I'm in my early 20's, a simple moisturizer will do, in the mid to late 20's, serum has become a must addition and changing my regular moisturizer into something that comes with 'pre-aging' creams, and along the way eye cream also added, and now, I love how SAMPAR L'Impossible C-Rum come into my life, just in time.

SAMPAR signature products evolved in light texture that I truly love. Even thou's it is packed with 'rich' ingredients:

YR Peptide(Skin Youth Reverse Peptide)
Glucosamine-6                                        
CLE (LipoEncapsulated C-vitamin)  
Adenosine

They still feel pretty much comfortable and light on the skin.

How to use the serum? Like any other serum, cleaned skin, toner and right before moisturizer.

-*-

I've been using the product with any other cleanser, toner and moisturizer from any other brand and they work just fine. But if you want a more optimum result, do use them within the brand and range.

Within days, my skin looks radiant, supple, hydrated, moist, supple and those fine lines does look lessen. I still can see the deep line but overall, very pleased with the result and will continue using the serum.

As usual, SAMPAR products gives ample information and details at the box and pamphlet inside the box.

SAMPAR is available in Indonesia at Beauty Box.

Thank you so much.

L'Oreal Paris Magic Blur Instant Smoother Anti-Aging Moisturizer

Hello lovelies!!

L'Oreal Paris is back with a product that helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines, large pores and dull skin. Day by day, the lines will become less, help firms the skin and looks younger too.

-*-

http://www.lorealparis.com.au

Product benefits

L'Oreal Laboratories have fused powerful anti-ageing active ingredients with blurring polymers inside a moisturiser to reduce the appearance of lines, pores and wrinkles. VISIBLE RESULTS: The lightweight anti-ageing formula moisturises intensely. It has an instant blurring effect and fights the signs of ageing over time.

Innovation

The Opti-Blur Technology diffuses light on the skin to immediately blur. Enriched with Pro Retinol A, the formula fights the signs of ageing for anti-wrinkle action over time and visibly younger looking skin.

-*-



The product comes in a bright red packaging like the signature color of the Revitalift collection. Inside there's a square jar with shiny red and beautifully designed container where Magic Blur awaits to be unveiled.

-*-

The jar is filled with a 50 ml moisturizer.

-*-

With Opti-Blur Technology + Pro Retinol A. The product can be applied on a cleansed skin everyday without the need of massaging.

-*-

Inside is a salmon colored milky cream that feels so velvety and smooth to the touch. A faint of aroma is noticeable but it is not something that stronger than a mere 5 seconds and easily forgotten.

-*-

These kind of products is on the rise right now, most of them comes in a form of makeup base, primer, or after moisturizer. L'Oreal Paris Magic Blur comes together as a moisturizer and help primed the skin at the same time.

-*-

Instantly, I can see and feel the result of using the Magic Blur.
Fairer, smoother, softer, smaller pores, finer lines, a more even skin tone, and of course younger looking skin.

I can feel the powdery effect of using the moisturizer. The skin is comfortable overall, the moisturizing effect is light and for those with dry skin do use a hydrating serum before the moisturizer and don't forget a good sunscreen afterwards.

-*-

What's great about Magic Blur is that I can still use a liquid makeup base afterwards, from BB Cream, liquid foundation and other makeup. It helps during makeup application as the pores are already 'tighter' and the skin is firmer. I can also use less makeup as the base is better than before.

-*-





Thank you so much L'Oreal Paris for Revitalift Magic Blur.

L'Oréal Paris Oct 2014 Beauty Box, La Creme True Match BB Cream, UV Perfect Instant White, Fall Repair 3x, and Mat Maqique Compact Powder in Nude Ivory.

Hello lovelies,

it's November now and I haven't even finished reviewing all the products from the October 2014 L'Oreal Paris Beauty Box, now, here they are.

-*-

For those who follows me on instagram (@c13v3rgirl) must have known that I have share these on Oct, actually I think, it's on the days where I received them, so if you want a faster updates on the products, please do follow me on instagram (as I have a giveaway as well right now ^__--)

-*-

The items given are the sunscreen, BB Cream, hair coloring products, and anti hair fall serum (nice!)

-*-

The first thing I've tried is of course the sunscreen. A lovely pearly pink tube with beautiful sunscreen inside. The high SPF is perfect for an all day long outdoor.

The formula is light on the skin, I give it 3/10 in terms of 10 being super sticky and greasy.

-*-

The benefits of using sunscreen are already well known, for maintaining a spotless skin to prevent skin cancer, I guess as long as we're living under the sun, using a sun protection product is a must.

But many avoided using these products for various reasons, most of them are caused by the discomfort, so having a light sunscreen helps ease that problem in particular.

the next thing is cleaning the sunscreen, as good as it does, removing them well is still needed, use a good makeup remover to clean the sunscreen as a prolonged product on the skin when it is not needed may cause other skin problem. So, by handling them correctly, you'll get the benefits without the problem.

-*-

As seen, there's a lot of chemicals inside the products, these are the common ingredients for a sunscreen.

-*-

I'm using it right after a moisturizer.

-*-

No need to use too much, but don't put too little as well, you may use your fingers to apply the product little by little until it covers the whole area, it can be used on the face, neck, ears, and even body.

-*-

As seen on the image, it give the skin a mild glow that reflects the lights.

-*-

To see the benefits of the sunscreen, use it regularly every day and when the skin regenerates monthly, you'll see that the new skin will become fairer and less visible spots.

-*-

Then, I continue by using the BB Cream. Please do take a look on each image and you may click on them for larger view and details.

-*-

I always love BB Cream, it's a simple and all in one solution for a makeup base.

-*-

It hides most imperfections instantly, from large pores, spots to uneven skin tone. The best thing about this BB Cream is that, it is made for yellowish skin tone (hooray!). Other BB Cream with beige tone sometime makes my skin looks greyish.

-*-

The last step, is the compact powder. Not that I need one, but in terms of reviewing and showing them altogether here ^__^

Usually, after the BB Cream, a loose powder is enough, but by adding a compact powder the coverage level is increased.

-*-

Above is the result after using the compact powder and below in the video is the reviews:

-*-

After the video, I immediately try the intensive hair fall product use don my scalp.

-*-

I really like these scalp serums, it doesn't make my roots oily, greasy, sticky, stiff and weird like most of other hair fall treatment on the scalp and they smell super duper good.

-*-

The scalp remain normal, as in like using nothing, so there's no problem whatsoever like sensitivity as well. I really like the process. I haven't figure it out the result as I just start using, but so far, so good.

-*-

About the smell good, it is like fruity juicy freshness. It made my whole head smells really nice.

-*-

Stay tune for my review on the product, as I will keep updating on my instagram @c13v3rgirl.

-*-

Thank you so much L'Oreal Paris Indonesia for all of these wonderful products.

-*-

Psst!! The result of using the sunscreen, BB Cream and Mat Maqique is a mate looking skin all day long without melting, after 5-6 hours a quick touch up using Mat Maqique is enough for another 3-4 hours, really is an all in one products that keep the skin looking ready all the time.
