Sejarah BB Cream

·       BB Cream pertama kali digunakan di Jerman pada tahun 1960.

·       BB Cream pertama kali dibuat oleh seorang dermatologist bernama Dr. Christine Schrammek.

·       BB Cream awalnya dibuat untuk perawatan kulit sensitif para pasien setelah mengalami berbagai perlakuan pada saat operasi seperti pengelupasan, operasi dengan laser, perawatan jerawat dan lain-lain.

·       Dr. Christine Schrammek kemudian mengkomersialkan BB Cream sebagai blemish balm.

·       BB Cream diperkenalkan ke Jepang dan Korea pada 1985.

·       BB Cream populer di Korea Selatan yang sangat mendambakan kulit sehat dan halus bersinar. Para selebriti Korea Selatan (yang memiliki karakter kulit dambaan tersebut) menggunakan produk BB Cream dan kemudian BB Cream dikenal sebagai rahasia aktris-aktris Korea.

Manfaat BB Cream

·       Perempuan-perempuan Korea menggunakan BB Cream sebagai penganti foundation karena manfaatnya yang dapat menutupi flek hitam atau bekas jerawat dikulit wajah.

·       BB Cream bukan hanya sebagai base makeup, namun saat ini telah berkembang dengan ditambahkan benefit untuk perawatan dan perlindungan kulit, sehingga dapat disebut sebagai produk perawatan kulit multi fungsi.

Manfaat Serum

·       Serum merupakan produk perawatan kulit untuk meningkatkan tampilan kulit dengan konsentrasi bahan aktif dan kandungan nutrisi yang lebih tinggi dari produk lain.

·       Serum dapat menembus hingga ke lapisan kulit yang lebih dalam secara lebih cepat dan efektif karena memiliki molekul-molekul yang lebih kecil. Sedangkan molekul-molekul produk cream hanya berada pada lapisan kulit luar.

Shiso

·       Shiso merupakan nama Jepang dari tanaman Perilla frutescens varietas crispa.

·       Tanaman ini digunakan dalam berbagai kuliner Jepang. Daun shiso hijau utuh biasa digunakan untuk alas dalam menyajikan wasabi(kuliner pedas khas Jepang), atau berbagai tsuma (hiasan kuliner) dan ken (lobak).

·       Shiso dipercaya mengurangi tanda-tanda pembuatan melanin dini sehingga kulit lebih cerah bercahaya.

The Body Shop® Luncurkan Moisture White_™ Shiso BB Serum Inside:

BB Cream Dengan Kandungan Serum Yang Memiliki 8 Manfaat

Cara praktis untuk base make up sekaligus membantu melindungi kulit wajah dari sinar matahari serta merawat kulit agar menjadi lebih cerah

Jakarta, 7 Mei 2013 – The Body Shop® menghadirkan Moisture White_™ Shiso BB Serum Inside kepada masyarakat Indonesia. BB Cream yang dikombinasikan dengan serum tersebut dirancang khusus untuk kulit Asia. Di dalamnya antara lain mengandung bahan Shiso yang membantu meratakan dan mencerahkan kulit wajah, serta SPF25 PA+++ yang bisa melindungi kulit perempuan Indonesia dari sinar ultra violet sebagai akibat dari perubahan iklim. 

Peluncuran Moisture White_™ Shiso BB Serum Inside digelar di Jakarta pada Selasa (7/5) yang diisi dengan talkshow dan demo oleh The Body Shop®. Hadir sebagai pembicara di acara tersebut Astrid Indrasari, Training Manager The Body Shop® Indonesia, dan dr. Amaranila Lalita Sp.KK, Dermatologist, serta artis Mellisa Karim sebagai moderator.

Astrid Indrasari mengatakan The Body Shop®  terus melakukan berbagai inovasi dalam menciptakan produk kecantikan alami. Demi menemukan bahan-bahan alami terbaik dan mempersembahkan produk dengan manfaat bagi kecantikan alami konsumennya. Kali ini The Body Shop® memperkenalkan Moisture White™ Shiso BB Serum Inside, BB cream pertama yang terdapat kandungan serum didalamnya dan dirancang khusus untuk kulit perempuan Asia termasuk Indonesia.

dr. Amaranila Lalita Drijono Sp.KK menambahkan bahwa BB Cream merupakan sebuah revolusi didalam dunia kosmetik kecantikan, dimana dahulu, BB Cream (Blemish Balm Cream) awalnya dibuat di Jerman hanya untuk membantu menutupi bercak-bercak kemerahan atau dark spot pada kulit   para pasien setelah tindakan peremajaan kulit dengan laser,  pengelupasan bedah kimiawi,  operasi dengan laser dan lain-lain. Kemudian BB cream dikembangkan oleh Korea sehingga menjadi trend di industri kosmetik saat ini, dengan mengembangkan BB cream bukan semata krim pelindung yang hanya berfungsi sebagai foundation/alas bedak yang membantu menutupi bercak-bercak tersebut (efek kosmetik) tapi juga mampu memberi nilai tambah untuk perawatan kulit si pemakai dengan ditambahkannya berbagai bahan aktif yang bekerja semisal untuk melindungi kulit dari sinar matahari, melindungi  kulit dari radikal bebas, mengobati jerawat ringan hingga membantu menyehatkan kulit seperti mencerahkan warna kulit.

Moisture White_™ Shiso BB Serum Inside merupakan produk yang memiliki delapan manfaat, yaitu Brightening, Instant Hydration, Natural Finish, Soothing, UV Protection with SPF 25+++, Lightweight, Evens skin tone, Easy blend able. Jadi moisture White_™ Shiso BB Serum Inside lebih dari sekadar BB Cream. Moisture White_™ Shiso BB Serum Inside berfungsi sebagai base make up sekaligus merawat kulit. “Perempuan saat ini menginginkan produk yang lengkap dan Moisture White_™ Shiso BB Serum Inside merupakan produk make-up yang dapat juga sekaligus merawat dan melindungi kulit wajah,” kata Astrid Indrasari.

Moisture White_™ Shiso BB Serum Inside diramu dengan berbagai bahan-bahan spesial seperti tanaman tradisional Jepang Shiso, vitamin C, tanaman akar manis (liquorice), dan lidah buaya organik. Shiso merupakan sejenis mint yang dipercaya mengurangi tanda-tanda awal produksi melanin pada kulit sehingga kuit lebih cerah dan bercahaya. Vitamin C merupakan antioksidan yang sudah dikenal luas dan membantu mengurangi produksi melamin berlebih. Tanaman akar manis kaya akan kandungan flavonoids dan dikenal meningkatkan kecerahan kulit. Lidah buaya memberikan rasa segar dan sejuk pada kulit.

dr. Amaranila Lalita Drijono Sp.KK menjelaskan bahan-bahan alami yang terkandung didalam Moisture White™ Shiso BB Serum Inside merupakan bahan-bahan dasar yang aman bagi kulit dan punya manfaat bagi kesehatan  kulit.  Contohnya, kandungan bahan lidah buaya yang memberikan efek calming (menenangkan) ini cukup penting dan bermanfaat bagi kulit perempuan Indonesia. Jenis warna kulit perempuan Indonesia seperti bagian dari perempuan Asia lainnya itu mempunyai lebih banyak pigmen sehingga lebih mudah menjadi  gelap bila mengalami iritasi ringan sekalipun seperti yang ditimbulkan oleh gesekkan, garukan, panas, adanya kontak dengan  beberapa bahan kimiawi tertentu yang dapat bersifat iritan bagi kulit, yang kesemuanya ini dapat menyebabkan  warna kulit menjadi lebih gelap, timbul bercak gelap pada kulit atau flek kehitaman. Atau dengan kata lain, setiap iritasi pada tipe kulit Asia akan berpotensi membuat warna kulit menjadi gelap. Adanya Aloe Vera atau Lidah Buaya dengan efek calming diharapkan mampu meredam iritasi-iritasi tersebut, sehingga mampu membantu mencegah terbentuknya noda gelap pada kulit Asia.

Moisture White_™ Shiso BB Serum Inside khusus dikembangkan untuk perempuan Asia dan telah diuji. Dari 100 perempuan Asia yang mencobanya, 71% melihat kulit mereka tampak lebih baik secara instant pada saat penggunaan. Produk ini terbukti memiliki manfaat kecerahan dan meningkatkan kemilau kulit. Hal tersebut hasil dari bahan-bahan organik, sehingga juga aman untuk kulit dan pemakainya tidak perlu khawatir adanya efek samping bahan-bahan kimia.

Bahan-bahan organik dibeli dengan sistem Community Fair Trade yang menguntungkan masyarakat-masyarakat lokal. Bahan aloe vera untuk Moisture White_™ Shiso BB Serum Inside dibeli melalui Community Fair Trade dari Guatemala dan pembelian itu digunakan untuk membantu instalasi pompa air irigasi untuk petani-petani daerah El Progreso, Guatemala.

The ingredients:

V 10 Plus Luminous Series Brightening Cleanser

Hello ladies,

another product from V 10 Plus. It's the Cleanser from the Luminous Series.

-*-

Details from http://www.v10plus.co.jp/ :

Type: Luminous

Clearer skin day after day

Brightening gel cleanser that helps to cleanse impurities thoroughly without ripping off the skin’s natural moisture film. It promotes brightening for a clear and luminous complexion. It contains magnesium ascorbyl phosphate to brighten dull-looking skin caused by external environmental pollution while aloe barbadensis leaf extract and rice bran extract help to improve skin barrier function and moisturise the skin to keep it clean, smooth and supple.

Directions: Squeeze a pea sized amount of cleanser, lather it with water and massage over the face. Rinse off well with water

Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate or MAP is known as Vit C in a safe form, here's a details from paulaschoice.com:

magnesium ascorbyl phosphate

Rating: Best

Categories:

Antioxidants , Vitamins

Form of vitamin C that is considered stable and an effective antioxidant for skin (Sources: Photochemistry and Photobiology, June 1998, pages 669–675; and Journal of Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Analysis, March 1997, pages 795–801). This form of vitamin C is also known to increase skin’s hydration levels and improve its elasticity (Source: Skin Research and Technology, August 2008, pages 376–380).

For skin lightening, there is only a single study showing it to be effective for inhibiting melanin production (Source: Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, January 1996, pages 29–33). The study concluded that a moisturizer with a 10% concentration of magnesium ascorbyl phosphate “suppressed melanin formation…. The lightening effect was significant in 19 of 34 patients with chloasma or senile freckles and in 3 of 25 patients with normal skin.”  We’re only aware of one product (Dermalogica MAP-15 Regenerator) that contains the amount of magnesium ascorbyl phosphate the study indicated is necessary for lightening skin.

I think Paula's Choice website is my favorite place to go now, she helps me a lot in understanding ingredients and therefore understanding a product way better, from ingredients to what it actually does to the skin and all it's benefits. Please do refer directly to the page for the rest of the ingredients above.

Now. back to the review, so, the product does contain a very good ingredient which Paula's said to be the best (for that one particular ingredient, the other will have to depend on the quality since there are several types and forms).


-*-

Let's open it up and review more from my experience point of view. The packaging is very simple and looks like a pearl has landed all over ^___^ Doesn't look expensive or luxurious. The details and product details given is adequate and right to the point.

-*-

In English and Japanese since the product is sold in Singapore and Japan. The pearly white packaging also represent what's inside, a pearly white creamy gel.

-*-

So easy to lather on and gives enough foaming action. But a foaming tools from Japan would be great as a partner (that white thingy, which made from soft material, kinda plastic-ky, or perhaps rubbery) oh well, an image does means thousand words, here it is:

A bubble foam net (and I miss Japan so much) in Japan there are so many bubble foam net to help consumer to achieve that perfect foam. Since they studied that the denser and thicker it is, the better it helps cleaning the face.

Use it with the cleanser (or just about any cleanser you have at home) and a perfect foam will emerge.

-*-

(the image above is the cleanser without bubble foam net)

Applied the foam on the face and gently massage the skin well with it. If makeup is used, especially waterproof ones, use a makeup cleanser first before this cleanser. V10Plus Luminous Series Brightening Cleanser is not made to remove makeup, and I think it is best for daily debris or as a double cleanser after makeup removing or cleansing milk.

-*-

Result: A clean face without striping the moisture off, gentle yet gives the skin enough clean feeling. I find it suitable to be use daily and love to have it at home.

Kiehl's Facial Fuel Sky Flyin' Foaming Multi-Gel

Hi dearies ^______^ (been watching Once Upon a Time for too long)

this is item is not specifically made for the ladies, to be certain, it was made for the men and in the men collections ... yums!

-*-

Details from kiehls.com:

Facial Fuel Sky Flyin’ Foaming Multi-Gel

The ultimate all-in-one solution for your shaving and cleansing needs that relieves irritation and provides a smooth shave.  Gentle to skin, lightweight and lathers quickly.  With the help of highly invigorating Caffeine, Vitamin C and E, skin is hydrated, energized and ready for takeoff.
• As a cleanser, this hydrating gel packed with Bamboo, Lemon and Orange Peel Extracts deeply cleanses skin to remove oil and impurities without over-drying or stripping.
• When used for shaving, this multi-tasking formula transforms into a highly lathering, dense foam to lubricate skin for the smoothest of shaves while Panax Ginseng works to minimize redness and irritation.
• To shave, wet face with warm water and apply foam gel as needed. Shave and rinse with cool water. To cleanse, massage gently onto damp skin and rinse with warm water.
• Paraben-free

-*-

Where do I even begin to praise it? From the calming properties or to the ability for shaving wise and cleansing while keeping the skin happy, invigorating, energized yet far from irritation and other kind of discomfort a shave could do. And beyond that a clean finish as well as it get the title of Multi-Gel which is multifunction. A self foaming gel that gives anyone a great start for the day.

I'm for sure a sucker in term of foaming the cleanser correctly, and so does my husband. He is a man for sure and plumping up a cleansing foam to a perfect density is NOT on his to do list. It's not that important for him, yet the skin still need that foam to begin with. This is where I start praising the gel, oh yes, the prelude above is nothing :D

From the moment I pump it on, a blue clear gel comes out and immediately transform itself into this super fluffy foam ready for action. I use it to shave and for cleansing my face just like he does. I'm not going to let him have all the fun, I want some too. I love the scent and sensation as much as he does and for once (in a while) we both agree on something, we both love this product and will continually use it as a gel for shaving but most of all for cleaning the face. Since the result is a clean skin from daily debris without striping the skin dry, in fact, the skin become so soft and like I said before happy, super happy!

A must try and must have product in every household. Kiehl's put it in the men's zone, I put it in unisex.

Lancome Hydra Intense Masque

Hi all!!!

It's pampering timeeeee. Last week was a very busy week and indulging in a mask can be a bit of luxury moment yet sometime time is not on my side. But with this mask, 5 minutes is enough.

-*-

Details from lancome-usa.com:

If your skin looks dehydrated, this 5-minute moisture facial restores moisture balance.

Diminishes the appearance of dry lines.
Leaves skin looking smooth and perfectly hydrated.

-*-

Carefully examine the how to, use it on a pre-cleansed skin and add the toner. Apply a thick layer, make sure the gel reaches everywhere and leave it on. It does says 5 minutes but I can use it as long as I want, like 15 or even 30 minutes, depends on my availability on that day. The mask can be used daily as well to boost up the hydrating level on the skin until the desired level is achieved.

Do you know where to test your skin hydration level? Many beauty counters have a tool for that, anyone can get a free skin check up, including at Lancome's. I've test mine for the before and after. The skin hydration level does increase after the usage of Hydra Intense Masque.

-*-

The aroma is just wonderful and refreshing, somehow it smells like aqua. The milky light blue gel is cooling on my skin, I use it to help my skin get a hydrating effect before starting the day. Yes, this kind of mask may be used just about anytime during the day . . . or night.

Remove the leftover with a tissue and continue with any moisturizer I have according to my skin's need at that moment. The skin become so moist and plumped. But the result is not as velvety as mentioned, it's more to the slippery than velvety. And of left too long and all the gel has lost it's 'water', the skin will become a bit sticky.

-*-

Here are the ingredients:

Hmm, some may have allergic reactions . . . if you experience itchiness, redness, or other form of discomfort, that could be allergy. But so far, I haven't experience any of that.

-*-

Thank you Lancome Indonesia, you've pampered my skin with hydration.

V 10 Plus Nano Gel 5 in 1

Hello everyone,

this particular item is perfect for those who wants a fuss free item in their daily routine of using skincare.

-*-

Details from www.v10plus.co.jp:

Type: Basic-Care

All-in-one simple & perfect beauty gel.

This all-in-one beauty gel contains OSC (Ocean Stress Complex) made by Vitamin-C which contains OWC (Ocean White Complex) . 5-In-1 White Gel enters into the depth of the skin (basal stratum) and attack the Melanocyte directly.

This beauty gel has 5 effects of:

TONER

MILK

MOISTURIZER

BRIGHTENING

MAKEUP BASE.

Freckles tend to show in the dry type skin. To solve this problem, this beauty gel increases the moisturizing power with Seaweed and Pearl extract.

How to use

Morning and evening. Pump a small amount and apply evenly over the face after the serum. Let it work for a few minutes before applying your sunblock.

-*-

For someone who always says we need a lot of products and an all in one rarely works. I stumbled to the one that actually does.

-*-

It was like a magical product for me, used after a serum and that's it, no need lotion, emulsion, essence, and so on. Just serum, V10Plus Nano gel 5 in 1 and sun protection or BB Cream when I want to use makeup afterward. It is a wonderful product indeed.

-*-

The texture is light yet hydrating enough, slightly cool and refreshing, no grease, oily nor residue found. The skin feels moist but not overwhelmingly done. I don't know how to explain this but the skin get enough plumping effect with no leftover, like the skin drink it all up and be happy about it. It's like snow, or water drops on the skin, but effective in enhancing my skin to be and look better, pampering and satisfying. So it is really a toner, milk, moisturizer, and base in one. I don't know what does it means by brightener, but I think it was like a pre makeup base that helps lifted up the look for that soft radiant glow, because that's what I get as well.

-*-

Overall, this multi-function gel is a must try item from V10Plus, I'm in love with the texture and how it felt on my skin: unique and wonderful. I've used it these past few days and my skin doesn't suffer any discomfort in any form. I'm not recommending the product as a night cream, personally I love a night cream with a more hydrating effect. So I only use the V 10 Plus Nano Gel 5 in 1 during the day and before I put on my makeup. It helps my makeup to stay on longer than ever before without being dry or looking matte nor unnatural. No grease as well so the makeup doesn't easily melts away.  Suitable to be used in a hot/humid temperature. It does help the skin to appear fairer and achieve that luminous complexion with the lightest feeling possible.

V 10 Plus Nano Gel 5 in 1 is available in Japan and Singapore.

Try it to believe it!

Duo Striplash Dark Adhesives

Hello lovelies,

here is my recent purchase for Rp.99.900 from Duo. Available at selected Guardian shops near you. I've been using Lash Grip for years and since it was not easily obtainable in Indonesia,  DUO become an option for me. One, it look like a twin sister of Lash Grip. Two, the variation, and last, they have one in black heehee.

-*-

Details from duoadhesives.com:




Don't forget to watch the video provided by Duo Adhesives on their website.


-*-

As easy as one, two, three. Prepare, glued on and stick it. I love the dark since when dried somehow appeared to be like a black eyeliner and hide imperfection, plus, it does made my eyes looks bigger too.

The slightly milky dark grey glue will turn into solid black once dried. That's why it appears as if I'm using a black eyeliners. The glue can be added accordingly after usage with a tooth pick for precise measurement, just be careful not to poke your eyes with the sharp tooth pick (ouch!).


-*-

On me the glue sticks as long as I want it too, so far I've used it for 2 hours, 4 hours, and maximum would be around 10 -12 hours when I have an event all day long. So it has depends on the events and how long I have to use it. The tricky part is not to sweat or let it get wet/humid before completely dry and set on the lid.

The part where it usually detach first is the one at the inner side of the eyes. Maybe since it is the most humid place compared to the outer side. But when used in a dry and cool room the glue sets better and the fake lashes wont easily apart from the lids all day long.

So whenever I use fake lashes I have to bring the glue along for backup plan as well, just in case something wrong happen and I wont have to ended up with half lashes on.

Remember:

Prepare everything before hand, like measuring the lashes, bring the cotton bud/tooth pick/ other tools you might need, clean fingers, so when the glue is applied and waited to be half dry, your fingers aren't too busy doing something else. Wait till half dry? Yes, lashes glue are best to stick it on when half dry, not when completely wet. Completely wet means mess and there wont be enough glue left on the exact place meant to be.

Half dry is characterized by tackiness and exact stickiness. Trial and error is necessary ^___^ Practice before the big event, okay?!

-*-

Cleaning wise, if you love your real lashes, in the first place you should not let the glue touch or reach them. So when pulled it will be pulled from the lids. So far, DUO haven't give me a clean finish, so it will be leftovers that need to be picked, kinda troublesome. Dolly Wink has better glue, one strike and all glue are out.
