7:45:00 PM Unknown 0 Comments

Hello today i wanna share a product that i use almost everyday .

Suisse programme Cellular boosting solution and their New version Suisse programme *Advanced cellular boosting solution .


*left : Suisse programme ADVANCED Cellular boosting solution ( New version)  10ml
*right: Suisse programme cellular boosting solution ( old version)   130 ml

*The new version is a freebies during my last purchase for old version cellular boosting solution.

Today will be a comparison , see whether are they really improved their formula or just change a new packaging and cheat our money, haha

I have a lot skincare choices in my cupboard but i still able to use Suisse programme cellular boosting solution everyday , not only because it gives excellent result and it also capable to use in many, many way  .

1.As a booster ( between toner and essence  )
2.Mix into your cream/ moisturizer ( especially for thick cream , it will make it more easy to spread)
3.Apply on face before put on sheet mask ( this really make difference )
4.Use as hydrating essence
5.As Massage fluid, I use during my morning routine to reduce puffiness

I like use as massage fluid because the texture is just nice to glide on my skin and not too thick .


Texture

 *Cellular boosting solution ( old version)
Texture is light yellow liquid, easy to spread and absorb quickly . Fermented smell and hint of alcohol ( doesn't smell pleasant )



*left -Suisse programme ADVANCED cellular boosting solution ( new version)
Texture : Almost gel texture , thicker and more yellowish compare with previous version . Contain some fine golden shimmer , smell less alcohol and more acceptable .

Ingredients :


--So long and i lazy to type , click on picture to have more details.

    *(Deep burgundy) New version Advanced cellular boosting solution


Both product are made in Switzerland.


My thought :

I'm not expert when it come to ingredients . But i can feel it really improve and advance to compare with older version . It make my skin more plump, well hydrate , luminous , smoother and enhance skin absorption level . What can i say is it improve overall .can really tell the diversity after i replace the advanced version to old version . The texture are thicker so newer version are more appropriate for dry skin . And the shimmery will make skin look perfectly glow.

I will purchase the new advanced version after i clear up my stock for old version . Although the price increase but their formula and quality are upgrade too, i still think it worth the price .

Thanks for reading =)

Review : SK-II Beauty essence - R.N.A power essence ,Cellumination aura essence,Whitening power spot specialist,Stempower essence

11:20:00 PM Unknown 0 Comments

Hello , as a huge fans of brand SK-II , today i wanna share my review of 4 beauty essence from the brand .

So , here start with a group photo .


Left to right
Facial treatment essence ( holiday limited edition )
1.Cellumination aura essence
2.Stempower essence
3.Radical New Age essence
4.Whitening Power spot specialist

*This not a product comparison , just i share my review for these essence together . Those essence are create to suit different needs , so no point to compare each other .


So, my routine will be
1. Cleansing
2. Tone
3. SK-II Facial Treatment essence (SK-II signature product , the big bottle on the left )
4. SK-II essence ( those petite cute bottle , you can just pick one or layer up )
5. Moisturizer


First , Facial treatment essence with 90+/- percent of pitera . /although there are no research proven that our skin needs pitera , but my skin LOVE it .

I'm so cheapskate at beginning stage , i pour a tiny amount on my palm and pat it with my fingertip . hence , i can't get the miracle well . So i went back to the counter and get advice from my beauty assistance . She told me we need generous amount of essence ( that why they selling such big bottle ) . either you apply a few times ( because in may fall down between our finger tips if you get a lot ) or with a cotton pad .

I found the best way (for me ) is apply with cotton , it can soften and remove my dead skin cell at the same time . Daub cotton with few pumps of facial treatment essence , and pat it in . REMEMBER is pat in the essence , not wipe off



*Use Facial treatment essence before any other serum will boost up the effectiveness 


First , texture of all the beauty essence

All essence are fit out with a dropper, you can drip the liquid directly to your face or on your palm .


 1.Whitening power spot specialist
Translucent  liquidity  ,spread easily, absorb very well and left no stickiness . Fragrance free

2.Cellumination aura essence
White liquidity , contain pearl shine shimmer . Having the strongest fragrance among all ,smell wonderfully . Absorb quickly and left a thin layer on the top , not greasy but look glowing (maybe the reflect of the shimmer)

3.Stempower essence 
 Transparent liquidity , can feel the silicone density while i spread on . Take a minute to absorb , left a thin silk silicone layer

4.RNA power  (radical new age ) essence
The new product to replace stempower essence (3), Milky texture, no silicone feel like before .smell pleasant and not overpowering . Absorb quickly too , leave skin a very comfortable moisture feeling.



1. Review : Stempower essence 

This is a anti-aging essence , focus on boosting  skin’s inner resilience¹ and create bouncy, poreless looking skin.

This is the first product from SK-II that i purchase , even before their hero product Facial treatment essence . That time i was struggle with my big pore around my nose , i always get oily nose and enlarge pore even indoor (malaysia is hot , very hot as always ).

I found stempower essence helps to minimize my pore size , slightly . And the most effect that i get is my pore are more youthful, My pores shrink back faster when i move on from hot place to cooler place .And i can always feel my pore are more elastic and feel springy .

The downside is this product contain too much silicone (other essence have it too but this just too much ) . It feel good while you touch your face but my skin don't need it
*Discontinued product , replace with R.N.A power essence


2.Review : R.N.A power (radical new age ) essence
New R.N.A POWER ESSENCE brings you the next level of firmness - lengthwise-crosswise firmness - for a poreless, plump skin with a fresh morning glow.

This is new product from SK-II to replace stempower essence (above ), so it is a anti aging essence too . But don't worry SK-II R.N.A power series  doesn't feel heavy like what you think anti aging product will be . It still feel silky smooth like previous version but with milky moisture touch , not silicone . And is not too heavy , just light and hydrate enough . Excellent to use under make up .

I love it even more than previous version , so SK-II really did a great job to upgrade this range . My skin more youthful , bouncy , and well hydrate after i switch to R.N.A power essence .
If you looking the first beauty essence in SK-II (other than facial treatment essence) i highly recommend R.N.A power essence .It suitable for all age range and all skin type .





3.Cellumination Aura essence 

This extraordinary brightening serum containing SK-II’s unique whitening complex Soft Aura White Cocktail with Pitera™, brightens and evens out your skin tone to give it an aura-like glow, as if skin is illuminated from within*. Drop by drop, skin gets brighter and more radiant.

This is a brightening essence , not whitening . Helps skin shine like pearl and not just pale white , create aura luminosity and glowing like Korean artist . The essence contain some pearl multi-color shimmer , strong fragrance smell ,which i don't like .

So , it did hydrate my skin , but i can't get much brightening and glowing results( maybe a tiny little bit , but i think it because the reflect of the shimmer ). This essence is not needed for my skin , according to beauty assistance in SK-II counter .But i still buy it because i wish to try . 

My friend like it very much because it helps a lot to reduce acne scarring . So it very depending , it doesn't work for my skin but other likes it very much . So if you can't decide which essence you want to buy , try Magic Ring scanner that located in every SK-ii counter and listen the advice from expertise .

I won't spend RM 500 for serum that only helps hydrate, there are many choices in the market, so this will be my first and last bottle Cellumination aura essence .



4.Whitening power spot specialist 

The potent formula contains a unique SK-II skin whitening complex, ‘Ultimate Spots Corrector’ that sinks into the deep layers* of your skin. Regulates melanin production at the source, preventing spots even before they appear. Appearance of existing dark spots is reduced.

I put this last because i LOVE the most .I use to fade out my spots that stay on top of my face for a few years (impossible to make it totally disappear  , but i wish to make it lighter and less noticeable )

I got my two coin size spot at my cheek bone , this is common at my family because we born with pale skin, and another fatal is because i didn't apply sunscreen properly before.

Because i have notice some other dark spot are form underneath of  the skin( according SK-II Magic ring scanner ) , so i will apply one pump for existing spot that already show up on my cheek bone , and layer up another pump for entire face  .


My spots still with me but less noticeable ( after 2 bottle ) . This is the most effective whitening essence that i try ,spots tone down 2 shade at least , additional it feel comfortable to apply and not drying .
So i will keep using this until i boring , haha


So here the end , I will share my review for all  SK-II UV protection next . Thanks =)

Review : Say byebye to blackhead ! - COSRX BHA blackhead power liquid

3:35:00 PM Unknown 17 Comments

Hello , today i wan't to share a Super effective product (yet wont make your wallet cry) to remove blackhead and little bumpy .

I staying in hot and damp country , so acne , blackhead , shinny t zone is the most common problem . Especially for blackhead , i try those peeling sticker type , but end up pore are  loosen and dirt keep on stuck inside the pore , and make it even worst . I try to squeeze,gel mask , and B.liv off those head sebum gel ,they give result  but doesn't last long  . My blackhead return very quickly .

I read some internet information showing that BHA are great for acne and blackhead , and a lot beauty guru recommend Paula choice BHA liquid but too bad it very hard to get in malaysia ( oversea shipping are crazy high ) .

And i found COSRX BHA blackhead power liquid (Contains 4 % bha ), their price is reasonable and product are made in korea. I got mine in less than Rm 60 .



Product name : COSRX BHA blackhead power liquid
BHA blackhead power liquid is clinically proven to reduce the formation of blackheads and excess sebum is removed and hydrate the skin


 Time of usage : 7 days




* The instruction is in korean , i can't read a single word
 Features : '' Trouble and blackhead don't look for any particular skin type ''BHA blackhead power liquid gets rid of dead skin cell and blackhead ws .ithin the pores and prevents oxidized sebum from turning into blackhead Bha blackhead power liquid has mixed a natural bha ingredients, betaine salicylate, at 4 % , and you can witness your skin get smoother and glossy as time goes by , as well as it light texture .

How to use : 

1, after morning and evening facial wash , in the toner and essence stage spread a coin sized amount



So , now let the picture talks (  The result photo is after a week , i only use it in my evening routine )


* click it to open a bigger size view , you will notice my blackheads spread is like a jungle .

My blackheads reduce a lot, i can't say it remove completely but is less noticeable even thought i stand near to mirror .

I even apply undereye area because i got a lot milia over there. I went to beauty centre to remove it but the facial lady said only can remove 2-3 at a time , and i didn't manage to go frequently .

I apply the bha power liquid lightly at my eye zone , just lightly (according to instruction stated not to do , so do it at your own risk , don't blame me )

I use AHA at every other days and i found this two makes good partnership .

Review : Dior lip glow alternative - Secret key sweet glam tint

1:03:00 PM Unknown 2 Comments

Want to look better but headache to pick the color for your lips today ? I think everyone will headache to choose only 1 lip product to keep in handbag because there are just too much of choice .
Although now we following the korea trend and we likes to have some bold and bright color on our lips , but sometime those color not suitable for everyday look .

Dior addict lip glow color reviver balm
giving a flush of custom pink to your lips that suit your skin tone . Almost everyone will say this is a product that must have in handbag because it suit every look . You can use it almost every occasion.

This happen to me too , I use it t make myself look less illness during the day i have no make up , i use to touch up my lips after meal ,  and to moisture my lips during super dry day
I enjoy the color payoff , the moisture and lasting power , and for sure , the packaging . It look so well when you took it out to retouch . Although there are so many lip product in the market but i always repurchase this , no doubt  .

However , the price is not friendly , so i always seeking for an alternative . i will still using dior one but just another one to use as alternative to save my wallet .


And i found this


Secret key Sweet glam tint glow

Secret key is a korean local brand , although some of their product are copy inspired by other brand , and they may not having good or creative packaging because this lip glow packaging are just like a twinie for dior lip glow , but what can i say is , their quality isn't  bad .


If you don't mind their packaging , Secret key is a brand that worth to try , because their price are super cheap, yes super cheap. i got this at  only usd 7 .


 First , the packaging , both with pink semi transparent cover and silver body .Although both are same 3.5g for the product but Dior one heavier and the quality of  metal part are much better . Definitely feel the different when you holding both .



 Secret key lip glow color much more lighter and glossy . And dior tendency morepinkish and dense .


Swatch on hand : Secret key color are much lighter and both with glossy finish .Both will stuck my hair , but not much as lip gloss .


* with 2 stroke dior lip glow . it does what it claims , revived from within, lips are fresh, full and radiant. Best describe for color is , your lips , but better .



I use cleansing water to remove both lips color , and this what i got . * sorry for some foundation that accidentally paste on dior cotton .
As you can see , secret key color are slightly fuchsia.


Overall :

Dior lip glow
 1.Comfortable to wear , the formula not too oily or dry , just right .
2. Truly baby pink , for baby pink lips lover .
3. Moisture lasting longer if compare with secret key .
4.You can definitely feel the quality , what your money paid is worth it .
5. Available in 2 shade , baby pink and coral .


Secret key
 1.Cheaper, a lot . less than quarter of the price for dior .
2.Formula slightly oilier .Still comfortable to wear , but not pleasantly as dior .
3.Because the moisture isn't lasting , so i need to reapply .and it finish very quickly  =(* but it is cheap , so you can get more to stock up =)
4.Packaging not that solid but still worth the price i paid (usd 7)
5. There are few color selection such as burgundy,juicy orange, fuchsia .

So please let me know which one you pick , the splurge or the budget ?
