Category: Review It!

Bought Kose Salon Style Precious Head Spa Heat Damage Protector with spa water and botanical extract from Sasa.

In Kuching, I seldom blow dry my hair or apply heat to it. Here… I have to blow dry every single time after washing my hair, can’t let it air dry because it’s too cold! I figure I have to get something to protect my hair from the almost daily blow drying. So decided to get Kose Salon Style Precious Head Spa Heat Damage Protector during my Sasa spree. It cost me USD8.80.

The smell was nice. The after effect was impressing. My hair is more manageable after using it. It felt softer too. Sometimes I applied a bit to my dry hair to tame some flyaways. Not sticky or oily at all. I do recommend this, it’s quite reasonably priced too. Don’t have to use a lot.

Oh, it’s made in Japan in case you’re wondering.

I did a skincare product shopping spree last month from Sasa because I’m running out of some skincare products and also want to try new products instead of buying it here. That way I can use my Paypal money and leave the cash I have here for food and entertainment.

One of the items I bought was Haruhada Collagen Moisture Cleansing Water:

Haruhada Collagen Moisture Cleansing Water contains soluble collagen and malva extract to effectively remove face and eye make-ups. It hydrates and nourishes. The easy-to-absorb product leaves skin totally moisturized after use.

It’s 500ml! Big bottle! Good! Made in Japan. Can last me for awhile. It’s priced at USD13.90. It’s considered quite reasonable for such big bottle with such price. Some more you can’t find this product here, even if you can, it’s gonna be more expensive. Skincare products here are expensive!

I’m glad I made the right decision to buy this. It really removes makeup effectively and it said that you don’t have to wash it off, just one step cleansing but being me… I will cleanse the second time with my normal facial cleanser during shower. It can remove waterproof mascara with no problem at all! YAY to that. Means I don’t have to get a separate makeup remover for my eyes. This is another reason why I got this because my Mandom Cleansing Express Eye Makeup Remover is running out soon as I’ve been using mascara almost daily here. Also, the word “collagen” attracted me hehehe… I need it!

It’s not oily at all if you are afraid of that. I hate oily makeup remover, not good for your eye area too. After cleansing, the skin felt fresh, not sticky too.

I do recommend this. If you are looking for something effective and not burning a hole in your pocket, you can consider trying this.

I managed to get hold of a sample tube of Elizabeth Arden Intervene Stress Recovery Night Cream.

BEAUTY WINNER: Best Night Cream – SELF HEALTHY BEAUTY AWARD WINNER 2009

Nighttime is the best time to INTERVENE. This lightweight, intensive moisturizer with Biodorminâ„¢ technology and a youth preserving complex revitalizes the look of skin while you sleep.

Works continuously throughout the night to help skin recover from daytime assaults and defend against the visible effects of stress on the skin.
Wake up to skin that looks younger, relaxed, revitalized and radiant.

I was told I only need to use very little, spread a thin layer over the face after toner at night. It absorb so quickly, the skin was so nice to touch. However, it’s not moisturising enough for me to use it alone. I would end up with oily skin few hours later or in the morning. So I will top it with my normal moisturizer after using it.

The effect was amazing. I woke up with soft and supple skin. However, it’s pretty expensive (almost RM200 if I’m not mistaken) for me. I don’t use such expensive skincare product. Since, it’s not moisturizing enough for me so I wouldn’t consider in getting it even though the effect was as promised. At the end, it’s still the money that counts *LOL*

Remember the previous post about V Line? Now, I’m going to talk about LUS S Line Body Slimming Glove. When I was offered to test this product, I wasn’t sure as I’m slim enough already. Then again, I need to review it as part of the deal, so I agreed. When it arrived, I was delighted! It’s not all about slimming, it can be used for cellulite problem!

I’ve been suffering from cellulite for God-Knows-How-Long. Who say skinny people doesn’t suffer such problem. Mine isn’t nice at all, especially my butt, hip, and thigh area. -.-” Can’t wear anything too short especially bikini and summer is coming real soon! In fact, the weather is getting warmer now, Spring is coming next month!

Even though it can be used for cellulite problem, I was quite reluctant to use it at first because I’m skinny enough, using it might make me even skinnier! *LOL* Then again, since it’s part of the deal, I just had to try it out else how to write?

Finally I tried it. I felt it heated up after using the second step. The heat is meant to improve your circulation and also to assist in reducing water retention (Great! If you suffer from water retention, this product can be used too!). After washing it off, I notice that my thigh felt firmer and the cellulite mark on my upper thigh and hip didn’t look that obvious. I didn’t take photo of it as I was in the bathroom and really have no idea how to take photos in there some more the area is not meant to be shown to the public! *LOL*

In fact, I gave it to a friend of mine to try also and she could feel the heat from the glove and got a bit of shock. Don’t worry about the heat, this is one of the features of this product 😉

Direction of use:
1) Slot hand into the glove with the dotted side facing out. (Exfoliating action)

2) Begin massaging with the dotted surface on the intended areas (tummy, thigh, arm) in circular motion for 3-5 minutes.

3) Following by that, take off the glove and flip into the other side with the smoother side facing out. (Slimming action)

4) Begin massaging using the smoother surface on the intended areas (tummy, thigh, arm) in circular motion for 3-5 minutes. Leave it n for 20 – 30minutes for the slimming ingredients to be absorbed and wash it off thereafter.

I used it once only because I’m afraid that I’m going to get slimmer after using it for too many times *LOL* People are commenting that I looked thinner now -.-”

You can try it out if you are still looking for something that works. I did experience some effects even though it’s not major. Those of you who might be suffering more serious cellulite problem might be able to see more significant result.
