Hada Labo Retinol

I've been using Hada Labo Super Hyaluronic Acid lotion for some time but recently have switch to Hada Labo Retinol range as I feel that this may help my super dryness skin areas. This Retinol range have of course Retinol, Vitamin A that reduces fine lines and wrinkle, Collagen that improve skin elasticity plus their Super Hyaluronic Acid that locks in moisture.

Initially I find it a bit sticky in texture but I realise that maybe I've apply too much(I used to feel up a hand full of the lotion follow by milk & cream), so I decide to reduce by only a few drops of lotion & milk, only using the cream for night and this works much better! After two weeks of using this Retinol range I can feel that my dry skin areas have improved, beside the skin have become much softer and smooth. I've yet to see my lines/wrinkles reduce but I believe it'll take times. Overall I think that this is quite a good skin care products for people with dry to combination skin type.

Hada Labo Super hyaluronic Acid UV Milk wiht SPF50+ PA+++

Was doing an out door magazine photo shoot few days back. The sun was super strong & you can feel that it's really burning the skin. Thank goodness I've applied this Hada Labo Super hyaluronic Acid UV Milk wiht SPF50+ PA+++. Not only it helps to protect the skin from harmful UVA & UVB, it also contain 3 types of Hyaluronic Acid that helps to deeply moisturize skin yet help to preserve its optimum moisture balance. I love the no white cast effect as many sunscreen products neither the stickness of the textures. I use it on myself as well as the models that I was working with. The texture is so light, watery and silky smooth that we even applied on all over our body that was exposed under the hot sun. Spread on easily and absorb almost immediately upon aplication. Fragrance, Paraben, mineral oil & alcohol free. Do remember to shake well before use.

Dior CAMOUFLAGE PALETTE and nail colours

With the arrival of New Look, Christian Dior opened the door to a visionary world in which fashion, fragrances and makeup complement each other and help give shape to new femininity. Invited to create an original accessories line, Berlin artist Anselm Reyle was given free rein to play with the Dior Makeup codes for an exclusive limited-edition collection. Known for his work that explores materials and textures, colours and metallic effects, he appropriated the Dior makeup colour world and added his own graphic touch. A “Camouflage” eyeshadow palette. Adorned with the “Camouflage” motif created for Dior, an eyeshadow palette offers a mixed harmony of violet, grey and black. Shiny and matt effects recall the artist’s leitmotifs and compose sophisticated eyes. Like a precious jewel box, the metallic case opens to reveal a delightful mirror with a coloured overlay of the famous Dior canework.

High-impact nail lacquers

The nail lacquers are playful complements that set the tone in explosive colours. Bold violet of Ultra-Violet, deep black of Untitled Black, vivid pink of Pink Graffiti, vibrant blue of Electric Blue and a subtle silver of Metallic Silver compose an electrifying quintet that brings to mind Anselm Reyle’s passion for neon shades.

RoC SUBLIME ENERGY

What is E-PULSE™ Skin Electro-Stimulation Technology™ ?

As we age, bioelectrical signals naturally diminish, leading to decreased cell-to-cell communication and production of essential proteins such as collagen and elastin. This can result in the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, loss of firmness, uneven skin tone and other signs of ageing.

Tsubaki Head Spa

Was using this set of Tsubaki Head Spa for a nearly a month and I really love it!! Tsubaki from Shiseido was one of the best selling hair care products in Japan. Beside the red line of Tsubaki was for shining and the white line was for damage care, now Shiseido have launched a new Head Spa line in gold bottle which focuses on healthy scalp to produce healthy shiny hair. This gold line have 21 kinds of essential oils added ( Marigold, Rose, Cinnamon, Geranium, Mango, Honey, Olibanum, Litchi, Patchouli, Tangerine, Orange Flower, Muguet, Laurel Leaf, Cognac oil, Vetiver, Musk, Cedar wood, Sandalwood, Jasmine, Bergamot & Vanilla). This range include regular shampoo, conditioner, hair mask and Extra Cleansing which supposed to be use once a week. Rosemary and Angelica Keiskei are added in this to get rid of excess sebum and residue hair products from the scalp. I found this really great for people who've been applying lots of hair products everyday for styling as somehow our scalp may feel itchy or unclean.

Tsubaki Head Spa Shampoo & Conditioner retail price is S$19.90. Extra Cleansing is S$15.90 and Hair Mask is S$22.90
