IBE & TTMask

 Assallamualaikum w.b.t

So as mentioned in the previous post after collecting the Talika Eye Patch we decided to drop by IBE in KLCC. Thinking that it was a weekday whereby they've applied a fee of RM5 per entry, there won't be many people but there was. So my sister and i had to fill up the order form, than she had to be the one queuing up in order for us to get the pass... and after 10-15 minutes before we could step into the halls, the security personal stop us, b'coz children below 12 are not allowed in the hall.... adui just like that our fee was burn. 

So i suggested that we took turn to go for the expo, but my sister decided not and stayed to take care of Sofiah while i ran in to collect the TT Mask i ordered a week earlier on FB. You see when TT Mask announced that they were going to open up a booth in IBE, they decided at the same time to put an offer whereby if you purchase 5 TT Mask, you will be able to get the buy 1 free 1, so instead of buying 5 mask you get 10 mask for the price of 5 only.

So when i saw their announcement, i immediately decided to book the 10 mask, well basically 6 different mask as per the pictures below and i'll share with you guys the ingredients, price and the benefit for each one of it. So in total i purchased 6 mask = 6 free mask = 12pcs. Decided to share 5pcs with the sister so she gets to try TT Mask out for the first time.

And the other thing that i found out was they were collaborating with MIVVA, so for those who purchased 10 mask and more will be able to get a MIVVA box free with the TT Mask in it.

Oh another important thing, TT Mask is currently taking an effort to get a halal cert for all their mask, this is to help the muslim customers from feeling was-was on their products.

Free Talika Eye Patch From The Lilac Box

This is kinda little too late coming from me, but The Lilac Box had this Talika contest few months back and we were supposed to squeeze our juice brains and come up with some nice slogan. So the prize was originally for the winners only, but somehow the The Lilac Box team manage to get Talika to gift this Eye Therapy Patch to all those who took effort in participating the contest. 

So when it was announced i was pretty happy and excited, they emailed and informed and we had to let them know where we would like to collect the gift. So i choose Isetan, One Utama.

So what happen was, planned with the sister for a day out b'coz the hubby uses the car. So we took a drive to One Utama and went to check out the Talika Counter, but sadly their beauty personnel wasn't around. Went to other beauty counters and they advice to come back an hour or 2 hours later to see whether the beauty personnel will be at the counter or not. 

So after 2 hours of going around One Utama, getting lunch and ended up buying BRTC BB Cream - Jasmine Water like the one below:-

Retailing at RM 55 per tube, and i love, love, love this product thanks to Vanity Trove (which was then still operated by their HQ in Singapore). It has the right consistency and it doesn't really leave an oily feel to it, but like how any other creams you still have to top it up with a compact powder in order to attained a matte finish. 

So back to the original story, after dropping by Sasa to purchase this wonderful BB Cream, we decided to drop by the Talika counter again, but sad to say there was no one there even though it was 4pm at that time. So went back feeling disappointed and decided to drop The Lilac Box a private message on FB.

They didn't reply a.s.a.p but somehow within few days Kygan from The Lilac Box replied and mentioned that i wasn't the only one that was disappointed, there were others too. So they manage to talk to Talika and we were able to collect the Eye patch but this time it's in KLCC. So the good news is we get to collect it, and the best part is the redemption date coincides with the International Beauty Fair in KL Convention Centre. That means i can kill 2 birds with 1 stone.

So arranged another date with the sister again, this time we took the train and guess who was excited? SOFIAH!!! yup she was pretty excited that she couldn't stop talking abt it until she got home. So manage to collect the Talika Eye Therapy Patch from the Talika counter in Parkson KLCC. Though the beauty personnel didn't look quite friendly but i didn't care as long as i get the eye patch. The best part of the eye patch is we get to use it 3 times than only dispose. So let me share the benefits of this eye patch:-

This award winning dry patch acts in 30 minutes, delivering moisturizing and anti-ageing ingredients directly to the skin by osmosis. Developed from a post surgery technology.
Reusable, even washable, it produces gradual and controlled diffusion of the active ingredients, stimulating the skin surrounding the eye area to a younger and smoother appearance.

3rd Lilac Box

Assallamualaikum,

So this was the 2nd beauty box that i received this month which is from The Lilac Box. Their not the ordinary beauty boxes or bags, as they don't have a monthly subscription. But do i love their boxes that i even subscribe the 3rd. Yup i even subscribed the previous 2 which is really awesome for only RM49.90 per box don't you think. 

So as always the excitement was not just on me, but also Sofiah. She get's all happy and excited when the courier guys starts delivering things to our house. So here's the list of items in the box.

1. See By Chloe Eau De Parfum (1.2ml bottle)

2. Yves Rocher Fresh Rose Shower Gel (200ml bottle)

3. Max Factor Ageless Elixir 2 in 1 Foundation + Serum (5 sachet each of 2 different tones of color)

4. Phyto Paris Botanical Hair Relaxing Balm (0.5 fl.oz)

5. Payot Paris Purifying Care & Drying & Purifying Gel (1ml sachet each)

6. Babor Extra Firming Cream & Extra Firming Eye Cream (1 little jar each)

See By Chloe Eau De Parfum (1.2ml bottle)

An addictive floral fragrance, the creation is signed by perfumer Michel Almairac. The composition opens with fresh notes of bergamot, apple blossom and leads to floral heart of jasmine and ylang-ylang. Its base is soft vanilla - musky with additional sandalwood accords.

Verdict:

Overall I love the scent as it is so addictive not to use it. If the retail price is right might just purchased it ;)

Yves Rocher Fresh Rose Shower Gel (200ml bottle)
Retailing at RM 39 for 200ml

Indulge in the Freshness and delicate perfume of a rose in a garden at daybreak with this shower gel's light and airy foam.

Enriched with organic Aloe Vera Gel and botanical glycerin, it's gentle formula leaves a delicate fragrance on your skin

Verdict:
Love, love, love the shower gel due to it's rosey scent with a light punch of freshness into it, it's not too overpowering as how some rosey scented products are. And it lathers well too, what i like the most is :-

- Paraben Free, Colorant Free
- Easily Biodegradable formula
- PH neutral for skin
- No animal ingredients.

Max Factor Ageless Elixir 2 in 1 Foundation + Serum

A foundation that instantly covers the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and also contains a serum with SPF-15 that simultaneously works to protect against the signs of ageing, like discoloration and age spots.

Verdict:

Still haven't been able to try it out yet since i just recently bought BRTC Jasmine Water BB Cream which i totally adore since it suits my skin alhamdulillah. In Shaa Allah will try it out in the shortest time possible.

Phyto Paris Botanical Hair Relaxing Balm

Specially designed for relaxing the hair and softening permed and naturally frizzy hair. Phytodefrisant balm combines extracts of Ferula, Horseradish, Sage and plant mucilage. These extracts work synegistically to provide natural, chemical free hair reelaxing benefits while protecting the hair fiber.

Verdict:

First thing i notice about this product is there is no scent to it. Not too sure whether it helps in softening naturally freezy hair, will just have to wait and see.

Payot Paris Purifying Care & Drying & Purifying Gel

Pate Grise and Speciale 5 act in synergy during the night to make minor spots disappear.

Pate Grise - Accelerates the maturation of minor spots while Dries mature minor spots and has a purifying action.

Verdict:

Haven't been able to use this either, since i have my own daily cleanser. In Shaa Allah will try it out soon too... ^_^

Babor Extra Firming Cream & Extra Firming Eye Cream

Verdict:

 Since this item is pretty expensive, i decided to give this little samples a try. The texture was creamy but light and very easy to apply. I was only able to try the Extra Firming Eye Cream, so far for the past few days, there is not much improvement on the eye area, probably i need to use it longer to know what's the result like.

For those who would like to subecribe the next Lilac Box, u can stay tune their FB Page at the link below, and don't forget to click Get notifications so that you can know when's their next subscription.

Mivva Beauty Box for May 2013

Assallamualaikum,

It's been a long time since i posted up something on this abandon blog, In Shaa Allah i'll write more in the coming months and year. But for starter i'll be using this blog as a form to review on beauty boxes and bags that i've subscribed over the months. For this post i'll be reviewing on Mivva's Beauty Box for May 2013. Their theme for this month is of course Mother's.  

So i received the box on Thursday and as usual i am not the only one excited to receive it, but Sofiah too. Once the box was open there was this whiff of sweet smell coming from the box, which i bet came from The Claire Organics Handmade Soap or maybe Nature's Lab Antioxidant Body Scrub. Will talk about it more in a while.

There were basically 6 items in my box, though there were no full size items, but the sample's are absolutely worth trying, as most items i have not heard or tried before so here's the list.

1. Somang Danahan RGII Premium Ex Deep Wrinkle Line Cream (3 sachets)
2. O'Slee Rosehip Hydra-White Cleansing Powder (30g bottle)
3. Garden of Eden Jojo E Serum (5ml bottle)
4. Nature's Lab Antioxidant Body Scrub 
5. Aupres Aqua Active Sleeping Mask & Aupres Ultimate White Extra Intensive Spot Serum
6. Claire Organics Handmade Soap (100gm)

** Note that others might receive the Privia Perfect Magic Peeling Gel insteadof the Aupres items.

So let's start on the details of the products and the verdicts (excuse for the low quality pictures, tried to edit the best i can):-

Somang Danahan RGII Premium Ex Deep Wrinkle Line Cream (3 sachets)



RM 349.90 for 35ml

This botox like cream is a double functional cream for Whitening and deep wrinkles. In addition, the cream features a low molecular weight hyaluronic acid which acts as a peptide to fill in deep wrinkles and strengthen the skin's barrier.

Verdict: 
 The smell and texture was both good, but obviously i can't say it now that it helps take care of my Laugh Lines, probably in the long run. Well i have 2 more sachets to go. So In Shaa Allah we should be able to see good results in few weeks time... ^_^


O'Slee Rosehip Hydra-White Cleansing Powder (30g bottle)
Retailing at RM 49.90 for 55g

It's a micro-form cleansing powder which contains coconut and cinnamon botanic extracts. It deep cleanses and removes blackheads and cuticles without drying the skin. With a PH value of 5.5 it helps to retain good healthy skin and minimizing skin irritation and you can now bring cleanser into an aircraft!

Verdict:
I was skeptical for a moment on how would a powder turned into foam, and to my amazement it did with just few drops of water. The cleanser was good, but i think the only problem i had is the smell. I somehow find it overpowering.

Garden of Eden Jojo E Serum (5ml bottle)
Retailing at RM39.90 for 15ml & RM 63.90 for 23ml

Jojo E contains 100% natural concentrates that strengthen the skin's firmness and elasticity against stretch marks and hydrate very dry and itchy skin. The Triple Action Formula consist of 3000iu Natural Vitamin E and Grape Seed Oil to provide effective antioxidant protection to the skin's collagen against free radicals. 

Verdict:

Since i do have dry hands and stretch marks from my previous pregnancy, i find that this item is very useful. Have just tried it on my hands, though it's a little oily but it does help in moisturizing the hands and fingers. It also has this light smell, something similar to tea tree.

Nature's Lab Antioxidant Body Scrub 
RM 76 for 250ml

This best selling Body Scrub comes with a rich blend of unique natural exfoliating agents and vital antioxidants with added Gingko Biloba and Chamomile extracts to leave skin renewed, smooth and healthy

Credentials: Winner of Harper's Bazaar Beauty Award 2011 Best Body Scrub

Verdict:

Love, love, love this product. Not just b'coz of the smell but b'coz of it's benefits too. I've used it a couple of times now, and i find that the scrub really resulted me in having smooth clean skin of course, and also the sweet refreshing smell. Can't stop smelling it... hehehe

Aupres Aqua Active Sleeping Mask (RM 95 for 80g)
& 
Aupres Ultimate White Extra Intensive Spot Serum (RM 150 for 30ml)


Aupres Aqua Active Sleeping Mask provides immediate hydration across all areas of concern, restoring your dewy and supple complexion.

 Aupres Ultimate White Extra Intensive Spot Serum contains multiple whitening ingredients to inhibit persistent dark spots and improves skin dullness while preventing melanin production, leaving skin looking brighter and more radiant.

Verdict:
 Love their packaging in the little see through bag and the Aupres Aqua Active Sleeping Mask really has nice sent to it.With it's gel formula it helps in spreading it out evenly. It's still to early to give any results on this item but In Shaa Allah will try to use this product as long as i can.

Aupres Ultimate White Extra Intensive Spot Serum
The smell was almost as good as the Sleeping mask, it only required small amount to apply around dark spots. Haven't really tried it yet except for once, might need to use it longer to see what's the results like. 

A little Thank You mug from Mivva, which is something normal to always get something sweet and dainty from them.

And lastly this Gift Voucher from Mary Chia The Beauty and Slimming Specialist. Wchi is for a 4-In-1 Body Detoxification Therapy X 1 (Which is 60 minutes long and it's worth RM400... **Wink*
