Menard Exstretch Mask Sheet

Hello everyone,

this is a mask from Menard that I received some time ago, I kept postponing using it since I have a vert tight schedule and finally, last week, I tried the mask and loving it.

-*-

http://www.menardshops.com

A facial mask that provides an intensive special skincare in combination with a richly concentrated serum, which helps to improve firmness and quenches the skin with moisturizing effect. The sheet type mask comfortably clings to the face and enwraps the skin while providing a pleasant firming sensation.

-*-

The packaging is very simple and there's much details provided, same goes with the website. Hence getting as much info from the beauty advisers are needed when you're getting one in the store.

And below is the product. Comes with a 2 sheet, one for the lower part and the other for the upper part of the face and there's this small tube that contain the serum apart from the mask.

-*-

Apply the serum first on a cleaned skin and after toner/softener to the skin.

The serum felt rich and creamy but not sticky nor greasy.

-*_

After the serum is applied, I put the lower part first that fits perfectly and then the upper one.

-*-

One the mid part, they overlap a bit. But the whole area can be considered as 'in place'.

-*-

This is one thick mask, with white cotton on the outside and thick gel on the inner part. It cools off the skin the moment they touching each other and I feel so comfortable using the serum and the mask at once.

-*-

The skin feels firm and again, very comfortable. I'm expecting the serum to have some kind of leftover and doesn't really absorbed by the skin due to the texture, and I was wrong, they do taken by the skin. I also enjoy the 'bouncy' effect on the skin and looks like I had a good night sleep.

-*-

Thank you so much Menard Indonesia, and hope to see more of your wonderful products.

Sociolla in Pinks

Hello lovelies,

It's February, and we're all into pinks.
In this month of Love, Sociolla also wants to share more love in their beauty box. More pinks, more love.

-*-

This month's box seems to be having difficulties making sure everything is inside the box, it is so full and satisfying.

-*-

From Utama Spice lotion in Rose, itsy Luxury Nail Wraps, samples from Dr. Jart+ Premium BB Cream and Clove Flower & Tumeric Serum to an Exstretch Mask from Menard.

-*-




Some of them are no longer strangers to me but the mask and serum are new to me. The serum from Juara is like a yellowish liquid gel (figured the color is from tumeric) and smells like Indonesian Jamu. It is light and as samples would be, too little to know the effect but we can test their compatibility with our skin, whether it promote allergies or discomforts. On me, it is pretty much comfortable.

Unlike the serum, the mask from Menard does have instant gratification and gives the skin that nice light firming effect. Comes in a set of mask in two, one for the lower part of the face and one for the upper. I figure as the lower part need a bit of boost more than the upper part. It is an interesting mask to try.

Overall, another beauty box that let you sniff and try a bit of products here and there.

Get yours from Sociolla and remember, for every Rp.200.000 purchase, use CAR50 during check out to get a Rp. 50.000 off.

Thank you Sociolla.

Menard Fairlucent Pack White AD

Hello everyone!!

An awesome new product from Menard is here!! This is a face mask from the Fairlucent collection, a Pack White AD.

-*-

I was introduced to the product at Japan Beauty Week on Feb 2015. And during the event, they also conduct a skin check on me, the result will be available on the end of March since they have to send the sticker (which was previously attached to my skin) all the way to Japan.

-*-

After the skin check, I fill up a bit of information regarding myself and the Menard team let me tried they new mask on my hand so they can demonstrate how to use it.

And yes, it is the Fairlucent Pack White AD.

-*-

This is the cream, a lovely white cream that feels a bit cooling to the skin.

-*-

Use a tissue by tap it once and peel the tissue off the skin. Removed the rest using water.

-*-

As the previous image, I'm using the mask on the left hand (with my watch on the wrist), but somehow the before after (right and left hand) image are not so clear. It does appear fairer and softer too.

-*-

http://www.nipponmenard.com.my

A cream-based facial mask with a pleasant cooling sensation. Provides a brightening effect and reduces inflammation whitening and anti-inflammatory effect, for a clear, translucent skin.

After massage, apply (about a half a tablespoon) evenly over face, avoiding hairline, eyes and lips. Leave on for 5 minutes, and then rinse it off with lukewarm water. Recommend two or three times a week.

APM (Stable Vitamin C Derivative)

Skirakami Yeast Extract
-*-

Like all products from the Fairlucent collection, the packaging is in white with shiny metal looking cap/lid.

The tube is pretty and hygienic.

-*-

All of the product is made in Japan, from Nagoya where they head office is.

I clean my facial skin before using and applied the mask on a dry skin.

-*-

The feeling is very comfortable, I don't really notices the cooling sensation perhaps because I'm already so cold. I'm using it after a shower at night. The team from Menard recommend me to use it at least after the sun sets and preferably after every day spend under the sun. The cream will be able to prevent dark spots right from the start.

How do dark spots formed? Start from the skin being exposed by the sun, especially those without sun protection. The skin will usually turns red. This is the first sign of  'irritation'. When left untreated this redness will gradually turns into darker and darker, skin cells affected, the ones that are unable to dispense the melanin will be darker and eventually become the dark spots. So the event is not an instant cause and effect, but something that can be prevented when it is treated right from the start.

-*-

Fairlucent Pack White AD help preventing the dark spots and reducing the dark spots that are already formed on the skin. Breaking down the melanin so the dark spots will deform and break parts. Slowly but sure, the skin will become fairer and fairer with lesser spots.

-*-

Like taught by Menard Indonesia, I use a tissue, presses it onto the masked skin. And peel off the tissue.

The creamy mask is not like other mask that gets dry, the formula is still as creamy as when I first applied it. So it really doesn't matter if you leave it longer, like 30 minutes or an hour, at least put it on 5 minutes as instructed and clean it off well afterwards. I've tried leaving them for 30 minutes and they are still very comfortable. I enjoy using this kind of mask, a mask that feels so comfortable on the skin.

-*-

By using the tissue, it helps pull off some of the mask, so lesser time in rinsing it.

I'm not using warm water, more like not cold and slightly above room temperature, so it is mildly warm. The mask cleans off well and the skin does appear brighter instantly.

I do notices especially on the areas where it usually red.

-*-

Thank you so much Menard Indonesia, I'll definitely keep on using the mask since it felt so comfortable and I really enjoy the process. The skin does feels more relax and calm after the mask. I also love seeing my skin appears fairer. Hopefully the dark spots on my cheeks are reducing and stop creating new ones too.

Don't forget to come to any Menard counter and get more information regarding Fairlucent Pack White AD.

The cute one touch lip treatment comes with a c word which means cool. It does have that cold zest felt on the lips once applied. They actually made the lips feel refreshed. The clear lip balm feels rich and light at the same time on the lips, it glides on easily without any sticky feeling, just a slippery lips, moist and supple. It can be used before and after a lipstick or as it is, as a lip treatment every night. Use it after a lip scrub for that irresistible healthy and clean looking lips.

A clear brown thin papers that help remove excess sebum from the face. It is best to be used as a touch up so the skin appears fresh again. Top it off with the Beauness Spa Shower and the skin will look as it best once more.

Below are the images of me with Beauness Spa Shower S and Fairlucent Day Cream.

I manage to take pictures with them during the flight and at video shooting sessions. I'm glad I brought them with me during my trip to Japan as they are turned out to be so useful. The Day Cream helps my skin stays protected and hydrated, it may be light but it seals the moisture inside, the SPF 40 PA++ also can be used daily. When the day is too hot, (or too dry like in the plane), Beauness Spa Showers is there to keep me pampered. I'm using it on my body and hair as well. And if you have an oily scalp like me, just spray them on the scalp once in a while for freshness effect and blot the excess oil with the blotting paper, it'll help the scalp to breath better.

The One Touch Lip Treatment C also a friend in need, the coolness is perfect for summer time. The gloss and healthy shine makes the lips looks prettier and of course, protected from the chapped.

Menard Herb Mask

Hi lovelies, 

I'm trying Menard's Herb Mask just now and feels like it really worth sharing, the product given to me is in a travel size, hence explain the petite container. 

Even thou it is a travel size, Menard never fails to provide an adequate details.

http://www.nipponmenard.com.my:

1 minute skin reset for smooth and bright skin
Contains 3 granules obtained from variety of herbs. It is an instant creamy facial mask for ultimate clarifying care. The unique Spherical Jojoba Oil Grain exfoliates dead skin cells for a clear, bright and silky smooth skin, allowing ingredients to penetrate better into the skin. Relaxing scents clears away the dullness of your mind and skin.

Green Herb Granules: Strawberry Geranium, Raspberry, Jujube Fruit
Pink Herb Granules: Wild Thyme, Rosa Multiflora Fruit (Japanese Rose), Chamomile, Coix
Other Herbs:  Jojoba (Spherical Jojoba Oil Grain), Arnica

Directions for use
After washing and massaging, apply to dry face avoiding hairline, eyes and lips. Gently massage the areas where old skin cells tend to accumulate (forehead, nose and chin) in a circular motion for 30 seconds. Rinse away with (lukewarm) water.

-*-

The aroma? It's really full of herbs and somehow reminds me of a fresh scent of forest in the morning. Greens and alive. The granules are like tiny balls, since they are rounded the feeling on the skin also comfortable with no rough edges. But they don't 'scrub' much. Which is good for my sensitive skin, I guess the focus is on the ingredients and not the 'scrubbing' material like most products do. Maybe this is the difference between high cost product and the low ones.

-*-

The result? Is a clean (thanks to cleansing and massaging products used before) and clearer skin. The feeling is refreshed and womderful. Away from discomfort and no dryness nor tightness felt. Suitable for all skin type. No harshness felt, so it is pure indulgment using the Herb Mask. 

Thank you Menard Indonesia.

Colax Care Pack Facial with Menard

Hello everyone,

these last few days has been boiling hot isn't it?! I feel like melting with sweats dripping as I am jolting down right now. I wish I'm in a cool comfortable place as I were a few weeks ago with Menard. Invited to enjoy their signature newest treatment, the facial presented as an indulgent that can only be done at some of their branches, as in mine was at Central Park Mal.

-*-




All the bloggers invited have their skin checked and since mine was dry I'm opt to the hydration, but somehow the therapist is giving me a collagen treatment, which is find for me as I do have fine lines as well. So, instead of Moist Pool Pack, mine was Colax Care.

-*-




They ushered me to a facial room, and there was all the products and tools needed in the facial time. Take note they do pay a great attention in providing an excellent service for anyone. So the customized treatment according to the skin type and personalized pressure. I can find myself at ease here as they are NOT accustomed to extracting the black heads and acne. This is a true pampering experience Menard style.

-*-

The pink collagen mask is so cold, my skin immediately feel the freshness it brings. The whole treatment took around an hour and the massaging technique is sought after. I kinda wish I could do this every day, a girl need to be pampered every day ^__-

-*-

As the mask is removed the result is quite visible, the fine lines are reducing and appear younger. Who could resist an hour of pampering moment that ends with wonderful result? Who said beauty is pain? Menard certainly did not comprehend those words.

-*-

As we are finishing, the team from Menard Indonesia handed us some of their travel sizes and someday I'll review them. Meanwhile, check out the available Packs, there are:
Colax Care Pack (with collagen), Beaunesscare Pack (for oily and acne prone skin), Double Vita Pack (to get rid of dull skin), Moist Pool Pack (that added moisture), Whitening Pack (to brighten the skin), and Clean Pack (for an antibacterial effect).

Their prices are varied accordingly and remember to make an appointment before coming down for a treatment.

-*-

Thank you so much Menard Indonesia.
