While I was clearing my inbox, I came across this.

I think it serves a good reminder of how much damage are we doing to our bodies. 

I am more aware now, and as much as I could I'm starting to avoid the nasties in the products that I use.

Hmm too bad my ever growing stash previously bought are waiting to be used..

Have a relaxing weekend~!

I'm trying not to stress myself out with all the packing and moving. Maybe a cup of Bamboo Tea might help :)

Loreal Says:

Daily wear and tear can damage the hair’s surface and weaken the fibre. Hair becomes weak, looking limp and lifeless, losing its shine and silky feel.

L’Oréal Laboratories have developed a Pro-Keratine and Ceramide enriched formula that helps restore 5 visible signs of replenished hair without weighing it down.

L’Oréal Paris Total Repair 5 Shampoo is specially designed to repair damaged hair, cell after cell, without weighing hair down.

5 Problems. 1 Solution. 

INNOVATION PRO-KERATINE + CERAMIDE

L’Oréal Paris Total Repair 5 is our first total repair for damaged hair. The restoring haircare range repairs 5 of the top Canadian hair problems* by reconstituting and restructuring the hair at the cellular level. Its restoring formula with Pro-Keratine and Ceramide fights against: Damage, Thinning, Split-Ends, Brittleness and Dullness.

Pro-Keratine, a combination of 2 amino acids found in keratine, repairs the hair fibre, the hair structure is reinforced and hair regains its strength like new.

Ceramide, a patented compound from L’Oréal Laboratories, replicates hair’s intercellular cement, transforming the hair’s surface to an even and smooth condition.

Proven results:
1) Feels stronger
2) Looks fuller
3) Looks revitalized
4) Has a healthy-looking shine
5) Feels silkier

Nett Wt: 80ml
Scent: Fresh

I got a couple of this shampoo from magazine purchase and exchange programmes. The 80ml size is perfect for gym use. I've since finished my 3rd and last bottle. Ready to review :)

Now, I wash my hair daily in the morning before work. So if I hit the gym later, I will wash my hair again. Previously I was using deep cleansing shampoo and my hair ended up being really dry :S (I cannot NOT wash my hair in the morning - habit!)

This is perfect! It didn't dry out my hair, as a matter of fact, keeps it really soft and silky after each wash. No need for a conditioner (no time anyway, I usually would get really hungry after gym, about 9pm).

I don't know about hair looking fuller. Don't they always look fuller after a fresh wash and a blow dry? Hee...

For me, this lathers really well and easy to rinse off too.
Does not make my scalp itch and smells good!

I might get more of these for gym use, after I finished other samples of course. Why gym use only? I love my Redken more :P

Hello! So glad its weekend isn't it?

I've started to pack my stuffs into boxes as I will be moving in a couple more days. Stressful!!

I've decided not to take a picture for this one, and do a quick review (so that I could get rid of the bottle ha!)

Anyway, here is what Shu Uemura says:

Crabtree Evelyn Says:

Spray on a light veil of nurturing moisture anytime your skin feels dry or stressed. Formulated with marine extracts, grapeseed, panthenol and glycerin to condition your skin and help it maintain the ideal moisture balance.

 

 

One of my favourite range from Crabtree Evelyn!

The La Source range reminds me of the relaxing cool breeze. Very ideal for both day and night. For day dreaming too :P

Very suitable for day use because it is non greasy. Spritz on and pat a little for a quick pick me up - the gorgeous scent stays on long! 

Too bad they don't produce this anymore.

It's Skin Says:

Collagen serum concentrated with vegetable collagen extracts hydrates the skin from the inside, giving it a look of effervescence and resilience immediately after applying.

Foxy Frangipani Says:

Scent: None
Nett Wt:30ml

Texture: Runny liquid 

I hauled this back from Korea last year :)

There were so many Power 10 Formula to choose from I really want them all.

I like that it comes with a dropper.. and I use 1 full pump for the whole face and neck. Because of its runny texture, it is very easy to apply and absorbs almost immediately. Non-sticky.

However I find that if I do not use BB cream or foundation after, my face tends to get a little too glowy mid-day. No such problem with a little makeup after application.

It doesn't break me out, and no negatives etc. I believe it does hydrate, but the effect isn't very obvious. And these days I spend less time taking care of my skin - my mornings are rushed, work late everyday, pretty irregular meals, and came back feeling dead. If on top of all that my skin didn't dry out, its something, yeah? :)

Scent: Bubblegum
Nett Wt: 0.25oz
Price: I think about USD3.00 (before discount)

I bought this together with some other lip balms and elbow greases some time back, and am finally willing to review it haha!

What attracted me to this was:-

- The cute tin!

- The cute drawing on the tin :P

- The flavour of the balm

Well yeah, the tin is cute - small and handy and comes in a sliding top.

I got this even though I don't really fancy dipping my finger into it and don't really want to use a brush each time too, but you know when the packaging is cute and fancy...

So I just put this by my laptop.. and each time I feel a little dry on the lips, I use this (wash hands prior of course!!).

It tastes like... bubblegum! Sweet and candy like.

I don't know about winter (I wish I have it here!) but this keeps my lips soft and comfy. Long lasting power too (only need once, unless I feel like finishing this fast). Doesn't feel waxy.. just smells realllly sweet.

The only thing I don't really fancy is the purchase experience.. The items got delayed like.. more than a month.

The Body Shop Says:

A beauty classic returns. This foaming cleanser is gentle on the skin and smells of fresh passion fruit.

How To: 

Massage a small amount into damp skin in an upward circular motion. Rinse with clean water. If product gets into eyes, rinse with clean water.

Foxy Frangipani Says:
Scent: Fruity
Texture: Gel
Nett Wt: 250ml
Price: I think it was RM29.90 for 2 (sale)

I've just finished the first bottle (lasted about 3-4 months). The smell is really fruity, but sometimes I find it a little stale-ish. 

This cleanser is not for evening use - not good for removing makeup or sunscreen. It is however very suitable for morning use where you need very very mild cleansing. It cleanses alright with a cool rinse after that. Doesn't dry or make skin feels tight.

It lathers slightly, rinses off pretty easily. Doesn't sting my eyes.
But that's about it I guess. Not much to love, but I think I would repurchase this if they are on sale again. RM15 for one 250ml bottle is very worth it :)
