Hello lovelies,

 a few weeks ago, Lui Switzerland send me some goodies wrapped in a beautiful rustic packaging.

-*-

There's day cream and night cream inside.

This is my first time trying products from lui Switzerland, in fact, this is my time hearing about the brand too.

Our superior formula offers a non-oily and immediate absorbing moisturizer with sunscreen SPF 30 that prevents skin aging. This perfect whitening day cream keeps your skin looking fresh and glowing. Our hygienic high-end packaging solution in the shape of an airless bottle prevents the formula from excessive exposure to air and increases product shelf life.

Night Cream

Feel the indulgence of our signature formulation which contains whitening and anti-aging skincare to regenerate your skin while you are sleeping. The essential stimulating ingredients enhance a skin turnover that reduces fine lines and wrinkles. Apply to your face and neck for a fresh, soft and revitalizing look.

-*-

Here they are, simple in pearly white with golden details. The product is  a creamy lotion, one with a whiter shade and the other is more to the beige. Guess which one is it?! The beige is actually the day cream (the one that contain sun protection) and the white one is night cream.

-*-

Both of them may look creamy here, but guess again, once blended on the skin they'll become velvety, to then soft and absorbed well on the skin without any greasy nor oily residue, and I just love the soft delicate floral aroma, like honeysuckle.

There's no irritation nor sensitivity occurs when using the product but for my dry skin, I think I needed more, I need creams that provide more hydrating power. Perhaps I need to use their serum too, I do not know, but for now I can honestly say, those with normal to oily skin will enjoy using this product as it contains no known harmful chemicals. Perfect for man and woman plus it has that lovely texture that feels good on the skin.

I still do use the products, but I add a hydrating serum and hydrating gel with them, and they work just fine. So I can perhaps says that they works well with products from other brands.

-*-

Overall,

A great product that pays attention to the ingredients, origin and value for the customers. Comes in a packaging which I think is perfect for skincare, it's  a pump bottle that always assuring in terms of hygiene. The scent is lovely and gives the skin that soft luminous glow. Both Day Cream and Night Cream are a pleaser. The Day Cream contains SPF 30 that fits for day time user who meets the sun, or simply add a stronger SPF when exposed even more (like during outdoor sports).

The Night Cream also superb as it allows my skin to stay comfortable all night long (hydrating serums and gels is still added).

Thank you so much Lui Switzerland.

Soap and Glory UPTONED GIRL™ BODY LOTION

Hello lovelies,

this is Soap and Glory UPTONED GIRL™ BODY LOTION.

-*-

3-in-1 FIRMING-TONING-CONDITIONING body lotion

UP-TONED GIRL™ is a daily conditioning body lotion in a class of its own.
Not just a skin-adoring super-smoother, it also has built-in toning and firming properties:

• - SELF-TAUT™ TECHNOLOGY – for firming, toning and smoothing the skin
• - CAFFEINE-CONTOUR™ – a complex of coffee and caffeine, both known for their energy-boosting properties
• - DAILY SUPPLEMENT™ – a smoothing blend of coconut, almond and grapeseed oils, and radiance-boosting FLATTERSPEHERES™ to help illuminate and brighten your skin.

Every day (or twice daily if you are keen) massage a few pumps of UP-TONED GIRL™ Body Lotion onto thighs, bottom, hips and midriff

Aqua (Water), Glycerin, Paraffinum Liquidum (Mineral Oil), Steareth-21, Alcohol Denat., Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) butter, Cetearyl Alcohol, Petrolatum, Steareth-2, Dimethicone, Caprylic/capric Triglyceride, Ethylhexyl Stearate, Phenoxyethanol, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Parfum (Fragrance), Carbomer, Caprylyl Glycol, Menthyl Lactate, Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Extract, Propylene Glycol, Limonene, Ethylhexylglycerin, Mica, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Peel Oil, Caffeine, Tocopheryl Acetate, Dipropylene Glycol, Potassium Hydroxide, Linalool, Citrus Limon (Lemon) Peel Oil, Coffee Arabica (Coffee) Seed Extract, Benzophenone-4, Hexyl Cinnamal, Citrus Aurantium Bergamia (Bergamot) Fruit Oil, Tetrasodium EDTA, Butylene Glycol, Sorbitol, Citrus Reticulata Peel Oil, Geraniol, Panax Ginseng Root Extract, Pogostemon Cablin Leaf Oil, Beta-pinenes, Citral, Cymbopogon Flexuosus Oil, CI 77891 (Titanium Dioxide), CI 14700 (Red 4)

-*-

The details are also written all over the pump bottle,  and everything is clear.

The texture of the lotion is common, like most creamy lotion do. the color is white and easily used, especially on a clean damp skin after shower.

-*-

The smell is just amazing, like blends of citrus and so pretty too at the same time. There's an immediate smooth powdery effect felt on the skin, so I can say that they dries up quite fast or they absorbed quickly on the skin. I do need my skin to be firmer, like a 20 years old gal, I want them to be up and about again. Areas such as thigh, bottom, and for me, tummy area.

The lotion doesn't gives the skin an instant uplifting effect, more like smoothing at first, start firming then and perhaps (if you're lucky enough) the up and lifted effect can be seen within 4 weeks.

-*-

As for me, I'm more enjoying the process, the irresistible scent and smooth and firming effects. But most of all, the wonderful citrus blends that smells so in-doubtably good.

The Body Shop Polynesian Island Tiare Eau De Toilette

Hello lovelies,

recently, going to The Body Shop has gotten more and more interesting than ever since there's many sale and promotion going on. After all, this is a season's to be jolly.

Looking at my own personal perfume collection that might even last till 2 years, I'm still as interested as ever when finally one perfume bear the resemblance for my love to Hawaii.

I've been there once and as a perfume addict plus traveler, I always linked a scent with the place. And Hawaii smells just like this. There's flowers there that are nutty, musky, aromatic and beautiful all at once and so sensual in the most wonderful way ever, and it's called plumeria. This is not identical, just similar, in a way. It has that warmth and beautiful beach tropical island kinda scents.

-*-

Experience heaven on Earth with Polynesian Island Tiaré. This bright, luminous eau de toilette with lightly scent your skin with floral, warm & exotic fragrance.

• Floral, warm and exotic
• Layer with other products in the Polynesian Island Tiare range to build the scent

-*-

The bottle is simple and it's similar to the rest of Tiare collection. But the shade is yellow, while other comes in blue, pink, green and so on.

-*-

The collection has shower gel, body mist, lotion, cream and this EDT formula.

The scent will definitely last longer when used layered within all it's range, but when alone, it'll last a good 3-hours max.

-*-

Details of the ingredients, information and tips are written on the box clearly.

-*-

Overall,

a wonderful EDT with irresistible aroma that brings back memories from a place that I adore.

Koji Eye Talk

Hello lovelies,

this is Eye Talk, a product from Koji.

It's a glue made for the eyelids, ehm, monolid, so they'll have more to their lids (what am I saying?!).

Let's say you're finally putting on eyeshadow to the perfection, eyeliner that winged like angels, but they all disappear the moment those eyes are opened since the lids are covering everything, this is when these kinds of stuff used, there are stickers too and some even go with surgeries to have those lids made permanently, as for me, for now, I choose this kinds of products.

-*-

A liquid product for beautifully natural eyelid folds.
Simply paint onto the eyelid then use the special EYETALK pusher to push the eyelid up onto itself, creating a picture perfect eyelid fold in seconds!
The liquid turns from white to clear, making this a great choice for first-time users too
●Natural looking eyelid folds
So natural that the only thing people will notice is how great your eyes look.
The fold can be created wherever you like, so you can place it where it best suits your eyes―the perfect solution for naturally very deep set eyelid folds too
●Long-lasting hold
Outstanding adhesion means that your eyelid folds will stay firmly in place for hours.
●Convenient two-way pusher
Use the Y-shaped end to create the initial fold in your eyelid, and the pointed end to correct and tidy.
The pusher comes with a handy ring which attaches to the bottle, so you‘ll never need to root around your make-up bag to find it.
●Easy to remove
EYETALK is simple to remove too; just wipe off with a moistened cotton wool ball or tissue.
●Gentle on the skin
Moisturising ingredient
Contains botanical ceramides.
Firming ingredient
rose extract

This is what's the product looks like, and there's applicator plus a sharp thingy that helps making sure the glue sticks on the right places.

The glue is as seen on the image below, white and they also have one that clear (other variant) but no worries, this white glue will turn into clear ones when dry.

-*-




The below image is me with my monolids. Can't anyone see that I'm wearing eye shadow and eyeliners? Guess not.

-*-




So, first thing first, try figure it out where would I like the lids to be and where to put the glue on.

-*-

Put the glue on using the applicator brush. The glue has minimal gluey scent and feels like... a glue. Paper white glue.

-*-

Put it on the lids, like an oval shape, following the lids.

And wait until they are slightly dry or turns clear, this is a bit tough since the eyes is closed, so my first tips would be use one by one and not both at the same time.

-*-

And then, pressed it again using the tool and the other one too, my second tips is not moving the thingy side by side, but let it press gently until it is set. If you're keep moving it, like glue has a tendency to dry and easily peeled off, this one does the same, it will peeled.

-*-

And here's the result.

It's not as dramatic as I want it too, but there's result and visible effects.

The glue sticks well and the result does last pretty long, as long as there's no wiping involved or they'll removed easily.

-*-




So there you go, a white glue for the lids to create eyelids. You think you've seen everything from a Japanese product, right?! Think again, there's more of 'funny' and intriguing products not to be missed.

-*-

Thank you for reading my post.

See you again soon!!

And Happy New Year too. Have a great time as well.

Vichy Normaderm Deep Cleansing Purifying Gel

Hello lovelies,

as someone who owns sensitive and dry skin, facial foam can be a dreadful thing as it could easily irritate the skin with it's detergent. 

Vichy, as always, has done it again, it gives me cleanser that foaming, and cleans the skin without fail but still done it's best in caring and making sure my skin doesn't get any irritation nor dryness.

-*-

-*-

The clear with a hint of green gel is easy to be lathered and cleans the skin at ease. During PMS acne are everywhere, nowadays it seems like they are getting worst, perhaps due to the stress or hormonal imbalance. Using products that contain salicylic acid could be very much drying and made my dehydrated skin becomes worst, but not with Vichy Normaderm Deep Cleansing Purifying Gel. It cleans, reduce acne but still so gentle on my cranky skin.

I love the scent, texture and how it cleans my skin on daily basis from sebum and dirt. This is not a makeup remover but I can use it after the makeup being clean to double clean the skin. Or, as a perfect cleanser in the morning.

-*-

The cleanser helps prep the skin before skincare and then makeup. With the skin being clean, everything goes well, skincare and absorbed better and makeup also appear smoother.

The pump container is handy and each pump is enough for the face and neck. The light fresh clean scent of the gel is wonderful and perfect for me plus hubby too.

-*-

Definitely a keeper and love to recommend Deep Cleansing Purifying Gel to just about anyone that has been dealing with acne and dehydrated sensitive skin at the same time.

It was divine. The clear blue gel is simply lovely, not sticky, just melts on the skin and creates film that protects, hydrates, like that barrier of oasis that stays on the skin and made them super happy and bouncy. The skin feels so good, comfortable, cool, and relaxed. The scent is something that me and my family loves, it was that good and perfect for bedtime too. Or just about anytime the skin needs a hydration boost. Like perhaps in the morning, before an important events, where the skin needs to appear refreshed and like having a good day, or a good night sleep in the spa.

The consistency of the texture is sublime, but when used before bedtime, do wait for around 15-20 minutes for the gel to settle, as we hate for them to go to waste and let the pillow case gets the benefits.

-*-



Overall,

another favorite that I'll continue using for sure. Both me and hubby loves it and the rest of the family too. It has a wonderful fresh irresistible green scent and comfortable effects for the skin that stays for days. I can use it on daily basis when the skin needs it or just 2-3 times a week. I love the fact that this is a mask that needs no rinsing, perfect!!

My dehydrated skin looks smoother, softer, plump, bouncy, and that lovely radiance thanks to the water content my skin now has.

Vichy Aqualia Thermal Spa De Nuit

Hello lovelies,

I'm back with more of Vichy products. As sad as I am knowing that Vichy is not officially available here in Indonesia, I'm glad it's always available in Singapore and almost every country in the Asia.

Vichy reminds me a lot of Biotherm, being from France and using thermal water as well in their products. They both smells so good and promote one thing that I look the most in my skincare, hydration.

-*-

All the details are written on their official website, packaging and you could never go wrong as long as you read. It was all written clearly from how to use, benefit, and so on. And they were all correct.

I've been amazed by this night treatment and the vicinity of the texture fooled me. It appear milky, like very creamy and perhaps rich, but it's not. It's actually how they described it, creamy gel. It's really is gel, just appear creamy.

I'm using it on my clean skin and after toning, the creamy oh wait, I should have said, milky cloudy gel glide on easily on the skin and absorbed almost instantly on my skin leaving no residue whatsoever. Perhaps my skin is dehydrated, perhaps it was too tired and exhausted, but it was said to gently massage any excess onto the skin, but there are none. The night treatment is so soft and leaves a velvety feeling on my skin.

Unlike most sleeping mask with gel texture that typically causing some sticky ends, filmy, or a few even greasy silky effects, this one completely doesn't. It's just velvety and very much comfortable to be used before bed time when you hardly have any energy left but will wake up looking great since the skin looks like you just had 10 hours of undisturbed sleep with nano humidifier right in front of your face as long as you sleep. It's that hydrating.

Perhaps, I need to put thicker layer so I can massage the excess after 10-15 minutes, but so far, thin layers already gave me so much benefit which I enjoy.

Sleeping in a non stop air conditioner no longer become a problem, I'll definitely bring this during my winter travel soon.

-*-

Look at that Icelandic blue, so pretty and just simply beautiful. It has just the right amount of scent, mild and subtle (perfect for bedtime), the right texture, and the amazing effects on the skin. Definitely a keeper!


Last but not least,
Suitable for all skin type, man and female.

Soap and Glory Foam Call

Hello lovelies,

shower and bath are our daily routine and we shall forbid it for being so boring and dull. Blessed with so many options of products in the market, we can choose one according to our needs, budget and even moods accordingly.

One brand that I love experimenting is Soap and Glory.

I first saw them in Sephora (Singapore) around 7-8 years ago and have been trying to get my hands on all of their products. They looks so pretty in their iconic pinkish shades and the details reminds me a lot of a good ol' days. Like when the industrial era of 50's strikes.

-*-



I got mine from Boots in Thailand. The best thing that hubby could give me during his business trips is toiletries, cosmetics and oh well, beauty products. I just love trying them and now, automatically, he'll know which one to get, the one that I haven't tried before from one of my favorite brand out there.

This is Foam Call, a bath and shower cream that lathers whenever possible.

-*-

Dual-use shower and bath body wash

These super moisture-suds contain peppermint essential oils, grapeseed EFAS, fruitliquid fig and orange waterjuice™. Scented with our new Fruitigo™ fragrance.

Aqua (Water), Sodium Trideceth Sulfate, Brassica Campestris (Rapeseed) Seed Oil, Sodium Chloride, Sodium Lauroamphoacetate, Cocamide MEA, Citric Acid, Cyamopsis Tetragonoloba (Guar) Gum, Parfum (Fragrance), Hydroxypropyl Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride, Tetrasodium EDTA, Dipropylene Glycol, Limonene, Citrus Sinensis Peel Oil Expressed, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Fruit Water, Benzophenone-3, BHT, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Fruit Extract, Propylene Glycol, Triethylene Glycol, Benzyl Alcohol, Ficus Carica (Fig) Fruit Extract, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Oil, Methylisothiazolinone, Citrus Reticulata Leaf Oil, Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Oil, Triethyl Citrate, Potassium Sorbate, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Sodium Citrate, Magnesium Chloride, Magnesium Nitrate, Dehydroacetic Acid, Trisodium EDTA

-*-

The details are written clearly on the pump bottle, too bad mine was faulty, I can't use the pump, so on every shower or bath, I have to unscrew it open.

The scent is a bit more powdery than described, I was surprise that peppermint is listed as I don't think I feel that tingling or cool sensation like peppermint do. Perhaps I have to put more in my tub or take my time in the shower so the mints hits me.

The creamy milky texture is luxurious and lathers instantly on a damp skin. It made them feels clean and comfortable for being hydrating.

The highlight of the product is perhaps the dual function for bath and/or shower as the foam is very much something I look forward too, it was soft and fluffy.

-*-

Definitely a product worth trying, especially if you're a Soap and Glory fan who loves spending time in the bathroom.
