The Body Shop Nutriganics Drop of Youth

Filed under skin care by on February 3, 2013 at 1:07 am {9 comments}

Hello Ladies,

I am going to share with you my thoughts of The Body Shop Nutriganics Drop of Youth. Lately I have been quite obsessed with skincare products such as serums, moisturizers and makeup base. As I grow older, I realize the importance of my daily skin care staples. The Body Shop products have always been my choice since I was still a teenager, so when I was offered to try Nutriganics Drop of Youth, I am very happy to try this product :)

I have shared with you The Body Shop Skin Diagnostic Tools in my previous post, I have tried it and I think each one of us need to try that tool to know what’s your skin care regime should be.

Now let’s begin with why you should try this products!

My Own Review 

The Packaging:

Nutriganics is packaged in a green glass tube with a dropper. I like the idea of the dropper because it makes the application more hygienic that we don’t need to dab our fingers into the product. Visually this product looks promising to me as the color is green, hence it makes me feel that this product is packed with natural ingredients :p

The Texture:

Nutriganics has a texture that feels like jelly. It glides on my face easily and I usually applied two drops of product to be applied on my face. Nutriganics absorbs easily after 1-2 minutes. It makes my face feels fresh.

The Smell:

One thing I like from The Body Shop products are the smell. The scents in The Body Shop skin care ranges are not too much. I personally don’t like skincare that smells too strong; Products that don’t smell strong gives me the impression of a natural product. Nutriganics has a nice smell that lingers but it does not smell strong, so I like the smell of this product.

How I apply Nutriganics:

After I washed my face, I apply two drops of Nutriganics all over my face. I wait for about 1-2 minutes until the products are absorbed into my skin. Then I apply my moisturizer all over my face. Then I will apply my foundation, powder and other make up. I only apply Nutriganics in the morning. For my night time regime, I am using serum from other brand.

Result:

After using Nutriganics for 2 weeks, I do feel my skin is more moisturized and hydrated. My skin is oily at the T-zone but tend to be dry on my cheek and neck area. On the area that tends to be dry, I feel that Nutriganics has helped me to hydrate my skin better. However I don’t feel that it gives me more radiance. It might take more time to see the radiance result.

Overall, I am satisfied with Nutriganics for helping me to have a more hydrated skin. The packaging looks nice and simple, and it smells fine. It doesn’t have any strong smell which I dislike.

Chanel Quad in Prélude

Filed under eye shadow by on January 31, 2013 at 1:14 am {10 comments}

Today I have my first ever Chanel Quad in US formula!! Yayness!! :)

I own few Chanel quads but they’re in Asia/Europe baked version. I have always want to try Chanel quad in US version. Finally I have the quad in Prelude in US version :)

Prelude is a very pretty quad that’s very wearable and natural.The colors are suitable for most skin tone. It contains very fine shimmer but it doesn’t show too much when applied.

Texture:

I am wondering why Chanel needs to have two version of their eyeshadows. Personally I like US formula way much better. It’s buttery, smooth, pigmented and almost has no fallouts! On the other hand, Asia/Europe baked formula has more shimmer but the fall out is irritating. It’s also not as pigmented as the US formula. I really hope that Chanel could make the same formula all over the world (with US version formula definitely, please!)

Pigmentation:

The pigmentation of this palette is fine. It’s not fantastic and not disappoints too. I think this would be suitable for ladies who want natural eye look. I don’t think this color will make you look too much. The color shown on my arm above is taken under natural light and applied two layers.

Final Thought:

Overall I am satisfied with my first Chanel quad in US version. Although the pigmentation is not as good as what I would expected, the smoothness and the texture does not disappoints.

Spa Esprit at The Beauty Emporium

BACK TO BALANCE MASSAGE

Get yourself perfectly balanced out

Is your mind and body out of sync? Then wake up and smell Spa Esprit’s latest Back to Balance Massage! Combining 8 doTerra CPTG (Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade) essential oils and using a special AromaTouch Technique (ATT) that focuses on the body’s meridian and energy points, Back to Balance puts everything back in place, creating a calm and rejuvenated body and mind.

Stress, a toxic environment and an unbalanced diet all lead to a weakened immune system and poor blood circulation, causing imbalance in the body and mind. Back to Balance is the ideal remedy, bringing your mind and body back to balance in just four steps.

AromaTouch Technique
Step 1 starts with a stress-busting oil blend, Balance (spruce rosewood, frankincense and blue tansy), applied with long, healing strokes and followed by Lavender oil for calming effect.

Step 2 uses Melaleuca oil to cleanse and detoxify, while the On Guard oil blend (wild orange, clove, cinnamon, eucalyptus and rosemary) stimulates the body’s immune system, helping to neutralize the effects of toxic pollutants.

Step 3 combines AromaTouch oil blend (marjoram, basil, grapefruit, cypress, peppermint, lavender), followed by Deep Blue oil blend (wintergreen, peppermint, blue tansy, blue chamomile). The cool, relieving sensation of the oils will immediately ease any discomfort as they stimulate blood flow to surface tissues and support a healthy inflammatory response in the body.

Step 4 completes the treatment by using Wild Orange and Peppermint oils that will refresh and rejuvenate.

This super-scented massage will leave you supercharged, elevating your mind and body to a whole new level with its healing and rejuvenating effects. You’ll emerge feeling more zen than ever – with an energized body to boot. It’s back to balance!

REVIEW

I was invited to try Aroma Touch Healing massage sometimes last week Beauty Emporium. The therapist greeted me warmly and guiding me to the massage room and I straightly change my outfit and wear the massage kimono given by her. When I get into the room, the room was clean, tidy and I can see greeneries and trees outside the window. It gives me that calming feeling.

The room smells very nice and somehow the scent makes me feel relax and ready to be pampered. For a massage session, I am very picky in terms of music. I like instrumental music that’s calming and not played too loud for spa session. I think Spa Esprit has chosen the right music for a massage room; the music helps me to relax and forget the life outside.

Then the massage session started by the therapist asking which area I want to concentrate on. She then picked the  Balance Oil Balance (spruce rosewood, frankincense and blue tansy) and start massaging my back. I like her pressure level and massage style. To be honest I fell asleep for a few moments and enjoyed my sleep a lot :p. After 90 minutes of massage session, I feel myself to be very relaxed and fresh.

From the 4 blended oils applied on me; Balance (spruce rosewood, frankincense and blue tansy), On Guard oil blend (wild orange, clove, cinnamon, eucalyptus and rosemary), AromaTouch oil blend (marjoram, basil, grapefruit, cypress, peppermint, lavender), Wild Orange and Peppermint oils, I like Balance and Wild Orange & Peppermint the best :) They smell calming and refreshing at the same time.

Create a Sweet look with Suqqu Gradation Cheeks in EX02 Mizumomo

Filed under blush by on January 28, 2013 at 9:27 am {24 comments}

Hello,

I am going to review my first Suqqu blush in EX02 Mizumomo. This blush is part of  Suqqu autumn 2012 collection and it’s a limited edition. I picked this in Selfridges London. This is retailing at 38 GBP.

Few months ago, I saw the swatches of Suqqu blushes in MyBeautyHoard’s blog;  The texture looks very soft and buttery. Since I am a blush lover, I knew I have to get one of Suqqu blushes.

 

The packaging:

Suqqu blush has the same size packaging as Suqqu balancing brow. I have reviewed the packaging of Suqqu balancing brow and will not talk much about the packaging in this post.

There’s a small brush inside this blush packaging. The brush feels very soft and I love the feeling of Suqqu brush hair on my cheek. Although I won’t be using this brush to apply the brush on my cheek, I am happy with the softness of the brush.

 

The Color:

Suqqu Balancing cheeks in Mizumomo has pink candy colors on the left and a very soft pink with a slight shimmering highlight on the right. Although the pink looks very bright on the pan, but when it is swatched, it looks fine on the cheek. The color shows up very well but not too pink at all.

Texture and Pigmentation:

The texture of Suqqu blush is very soft and buttery. It blends well on my skin. What I love most about this blush is that the pigmentation is built just enough so that it won’t make my face look like a clown LOL. The finish is satiny finish with very fine shimmer. The shimmer is in a just nice amount, you don’t need to worry that you’ll look like a glitter bomb :p. I am very contented with the quality of this blush.

On the swatch below, you can see each color when it’s swathed alone and when mixed.

I have created a simple look with this blush. I love how this blush brighten up my face instantly. For the look below, I am using my Nars Yachiyo Kabuki Brush on the apple of my cheek and I swipe upwards to create an illusion of a longer face.

Here are the rest of the products I used on my face for this look. I took this photo from my instagram account, that explains the color different of this photo ;)

For my face, I applied Chanel CC cream and I topped it with my MAC pressed powder. For my eyeliner, I want a dark black eyeliner and hence I use MUFE Aqualiner in Black. I draw my brow with Suqqu Balancing Brow in 01 Moss Green. For my lips, I want to have a nice glossy pink, hence I am using YSL Rouge Volupte in no 01 and I topped it with Chanel Lipgloss 67.

What do you think of Suqqu products? Have you ever tried Suqqu blush?

Thank you for reading.

Burberry Complete Eye Palette in 05 Dark Spice

Filed under eye shadow, Uncategorized by on January 26, 2013 at 12:00 pm {13 comments}

Burberry Complete Eye Palette in 05 Dark Spice  is my second Burberry palette, I have reviewed the smokey grey here. No doubt about it, this palette texture are amazing, very buttery and pigmented. Also this colors are more in my comfort zone.

I found this palette very unique in the color combination with three matte colors and one with gold flecks color.  Following picture are the closer look of the palette, having said that because of the lighting (I guess :p), the first picture capture the color much better.

The only problem I’ve got, I think this only happen to me tho. I found this quite challenging to use all the 4 colors in one go and the second color from the top is difficult to blend. Anyway we don’t have to use all the four colors in one look right? Below swatches are taken without primer and colors are beautifully smooth and pigmented.

And here’s my look with Dark Spice paired with Burberry Tangerine blush, more details coming soon :)

Thanks for reading!
