PAC Liquid Eyeliner in Silver

Hello pretty ladies,

this is another item from the PAC eyeliner collection. I'm still figuring out since each of their shade have slightly different properties than the other.

-*-

The blue one stained, the golden one sparks and easily dry but not the silver. Somehow I have to wait a bit longer for the silver one to dry. Like usual, shake it before usage and gently use the brush to draw the line. I wait around 10-15 seconds like usual when using other liner and they are still pretty much wet.

-*-

The eyeliner get dry longer so it is better to observe it on my hand. The silver line is striking at first but when it is dry they slowly turn transparent and like glitters with clear gel backing. And when gently rub like perhaps by fingers, I'll get the sparkles alright.

-*-

I've been trying to get the liners 'work' correctly but so far I still have difficulties in getting them set on the lids.

-*-

So far above are the best results I can get in terms of using it on the eye lines.

Kiehl's Powerful Wrinkle Reducing Eye Cream

Hello everyone ^^

Kiehl's has a new item for the eyes, the powerful wrinkle reducing eye cream. Come from the series of Abyssine.

-*-

Details from www.kiehls.com:

Powerful anti-wrinkle eye cream

• Skin fortifying under-eye cream, with a combination of micronutrients, Copper PCA and Calcium PCA
• Significantly improves wrinkles, texture and elasticity.
• Formulated for the delicate under-eye area

-*-

A unique eye cream which help reducing the lines and seems like the focus is anti wrinkle with the firming abilities. Like any product it is not an instant effect but to be used at least 2 weeks and 1 month to see the significant differences.

The thick Arctic ice blue colored cream is almost scentless too.

-*-

And like any other wonderful product out there, the eye cream has to be used with all means possible, no staying up late, get enough sleep, maintain a healthy habit and diet as well.

I use the eye cream after serum and right before moisturizer. Using a ring finger I use around a rice-sized. Then blend the cream between two ring fingers and gently dab the eyes with them. They melt nicely and caress the skin surrounding the eyes.

-*-

Suitable for those above 25, this lightweight cream is perfect to be used 2 times daily, day and night. Occasionally I use it for my lips too ^^ It made them lines free. Put it in a fridge for a cooling and de-puffing the eye bags. 

Thank you Kiehl's Indonesia.

Skin79 Super Plus Beblesh Balm Triple Functions SPF25 PA + +

Hi ladies,

This is one of the item I get from Lola Box May 2013 edition, a BB Cream from Skin79. For a minute there I thought there's a typo, but it does said beblesh . . . anyone know what it mean?

-*-




Details from www.skin79.com:

It is 3 effects functional beblesh balm. By Adenosine and Arbutin ingredients which are effective in whitening, wrinkles improvement cultivate more bright and elastic skin.Intercept ultraviolet rays UV A and B at the same time and protect your skin exposed from the sun more thoroughly.OSMOPUR ingredient of new concept, which are Mined Sunflower, Rice Bran, Ivy Extracts protect skin from various harmful conditions.Phyto Complex ingredient which is good for skin moisturizing and soothing makes your skin always moist and healthy.This product has excellent cover function by composition of makd-up base and foundation. It can correct your irregularly different skin tones naturally powder is excellent for your skin adhesion and sebum control.This is W / S shape which is good for skin affinity and it make your skin light, soft and dry all day without that skin gooey.

-*-

The product covers redness, skin discoloration, pores, sebum and fine lines too. There's a mattefying effect which oily skin owner will enjoy but still in a natural way. I thought the tone would be too dark but somehow the cream blends into my skin tone.

The cream's texture is not as smooth as other BB I've tried, and the matte effect might absorbing the moisture out of the skin until dry, so after each usage during cleansing, do clean properly with a makeup remover so the product stop 'sucking' the skin dry.

BB Cream are meant to be used and treat like a makeup, so never skip skincare, use a moisturizer before the BB Cream. The SPF 25 PA++ is suffice for daily usage but if perhaps ones want to go to the beach or staying in the sun longer hours, please do use a higher sun protection after moisturizer and before BB Cream.

No need to use too much, spread some dots on 5 different areas on the face and blends well with fingers, if more is needed add little by little. I use around 1 corn sized cream for my face all over.

-*-

Conclusion,

the BB Cream offer somewhat the same as other BB Cream I know, slightly matte-er, a tad rougher in term of texture, gives natural finish and I think the main focus is ..... the matte effect. A bit contradictory with the trend right now, radiant and luminous glow finish. I guess it's just a matter of preference ^^

I didn't see the whitening effect and the coverage is more to the medium. Ones can add concealer or foundation for a more flawless look.

Kerastase Force Architecte Review

Hi everyone!!!

For these past few weeks I've been using Kerastase Force Architecte and like expected from Kerastase, I love them, I can't hide it, the juicy fruity fresh scent and stronger hair after every treatment ^^

The shampoo, the masque and the serum. They all feels wonderful and help build the hair structure from within. Please do read my previous post HERE for the press release and information regarding the products. On this post, it will be all about experience.

-*-

I always start things chronologically but this time I start with the product I love the most from the series, the mask. It was a very wonderful mask, I don't have to use too much like most masks or creambath creams, just half of them and my hair become so soft, so smooth, stronger and even looks better too. Most mask on the market only give either one. It could be just an irresistible scent, a softer look, a silkier hair, a shine, but none give all plus adding the hair strength as well.

Kerastase Masque Force Architecte delivers a hair that like using the essence of all of those masks. The deeply coarse part of my hair still need more treatments and time to heal but less breakage for sure since the moment I'm using the Force Architecte series.

-*-

Next item and the last one deserve the second place, yes both of them. The shampoo since I need it and addicted to the scent and for the serum, I can use it with other products (other shampoo/conditioner) and anytime anywhere whenever needed.

The shampoo cleans the hair without causing them to be limp and oily like most shampoo for damaged hair. The scalp also felt clean, suitable for my oily scalp when other shampoo making them greasy. I know there are so many brands out there which claim protecting the hair, reduce damage, etc, but the result are disappointing. From clogged scalp, oily hair, and other just doesn't work, a few even caused dandruff.

The shampoo also helps the hair to be stronger with the same ingredients used on the mask and some on the serum.

-*-

The duo tone serum is clear and green in one. Both in the transparent zone with one clear and one green oils. The oil feels light and kinda like a dry oil which easily distributed on the hair ends to help adding protection before hair drying or hair styling process.

It carry the same scent like the rest of the products in the Force Architecte series. And when used all three the scent last until the next day. I love it, my husband loves it and the formula is just wonderful.

-*-

Here's a few tips from me:
1. When using the shampoo make sure to wet the hair and lather the thick white creamy gel on the palm before massage the hair with it.
2. Rinse well and made sure none are left behind, it doesn't really matter is you use warm/cold water.
3. Toweled dry hair before the mask or squeeze them gently. Only put the mask on the mid length all the way to the end of the hair and never let it touches the scalp or even go near it.
4. Rinse the mask after a good 10-15 minutes covering the hair with a showering cap (this is for the home usage), but if you happen to have a steamer, go ahead and use on.
5. If you don't have 10-15 minutes, 5 minutes also will do. Yes, they work fast too.
6. The mask is best to be rinse with warm water and massage it all the way through making sure the hair is clean, if there's leftover the hair will feel sticky, so don't left any leftover and rinse well.
7. Use the serum a pump at the time, if your hair is long, you may pump it again after distributing the first pump. No need to use too much ^^

-*-

And get a stronger hair day by day with the scent that loved by many. Plus get a monthly treatment at the salon for an infused dose therapy.

Thank you Kerastase Indonesia.

May 2013 Lola Box

Hello everyone,

this month Lola Box is a perky bright orange-yellow sunshine, please do see the video here:

-*-

There are a lot of items isn't it?! And I'll be waiting for next week where Lola will replace the expired item with the new ones.

I've tried some of the product now and like Skin79 it will be on a different blog post ^^
But for the rest of the item, I'll share my personal thoughts here:

Clarins UV+HP11 SPF40 UVA UVB PA+++ Oil Free and Anti Pollution Day Screen Multi Protection.
A milky salmon lotion which distributed easily on the skin for a velvety smooth feeling, a bit glossy but still comfortable to be used daily.

Clarins White Plus Total Luminescent Serum.
A clear cool almost 100% transparent gel that smells so good and freshen up the skin almost instantly. Absorb so fast and leave the skin plump and lovely. I would love to use it everyday just for the texture alone.

Air Lift Toothpaste
A simple toothpaste which have a properties almost like a minty chewing gum, keep giving me a fresh minty feeling up to an hour after brushing the teeth with it. The thick white paste is providing fresh breath, but I think I need more than just a fresh breath, like the one for sensitive teeth.

Masami Shouko Cleansing Sponge and Puff.
Both work well like usual, but I like the puff better since it feels softer on the skin. I know the cleansing sponge help trigger skin simulation but sometime when rub too much during cleansing will irritate my sensitive cheeks.

The Face Shop.
The Clean Face series, Toner and Lotion.
A fragrant collection that tone and moisturize the skin in a light way. I can't say anything more from the 5 ml products.

-*-

That's it for now, see you on my next post regarding Skin79 and Make Over products that will be sent to my home by Lola Box ^^

Thank you so much!! Keep giving me surprises yaaaa.

Mentholatum Deep Moist The Ultra Hydrating lipbalm with Hyaluronic Acid

Hello everybody,

boys and girls ^__^ since this one item can be use as a unisex product. A lip balm by Mentholatum is here. Hearing the word mentholatum made me think there's a menthol inside every products, well, not this one.

-*-

Details given from Mentholatum Singapore:

The success of Deep Moist is due to 2 main factors, its premium hydrating ingredients at value pricing, and its elegant, ergonomic packaging design.  
a. The key moisturizing ingredients in Deep Moist lip balms are:

• Hyaluronic Acid, a premium ingredient that forms a smooth, moisture locking shield for softer, smoother lips.  It can hold 1000X its weight in water, or 6 litres of water with just 1g.
• Shea Butter heals the skin, and gives a soft, pleasant texture to the lip balm.  
• Jojoba Oil gives pro-longed, whole day hydration to the lips.

b. The Deep Moist lip balm comes in an innovative Emerald Green, oval-shaped container design that fits the corner of the mouth well and makes it easy to apply with a single swipe. A Japanese consumer commented, “This oval-shaped design fits the corner of my mouth so well that the Deep Moist lip balm can be applied easily without affecting the foundation near my mouth.”

-*-

And the details from the packaging, and below my experience in using it.

-*-





I use it before I'm using lipstick and after, or anytime, it doesn't matter, I even use it right before bed for a smooth lips in the morning. I crack the sides of my lips and it is so painful, this lip balm able to hydrates the part within 2-3 days. It is indeed a unique product and I can see why it is loved by many. Light yet deeply hydrating with zero feeling of grease nor oily.

No scent, mo minty feeling, just plain moist.

-*-

A shape that is likeable unisex and design, I think men will like it too since there's no glossiness. My husband's lips always got chapped whenever he travel abroad and he hates most lip balm on the market, but he likes this one alright. Chap and girlie free lip balm ^^.

-*-

I leave you with my before after image. The product may be used several times a day, for me? I need to reapply it once every 3 hours.

Thank you.
