L’Oréal Hair Expertise EverStyle

Do you have the dilemma of wanting to style your hair everyday but also worried about damaging the hair with the heat and chemical-formulated hair products?

Fret not now! L’Oreal Hair Expertise has come up with its first alcohol-free hairstyling products, EverStyle!

The Hair Expertise EverStyle helps to achieve easy hair styling and is gentle on both scalp and hair. It doesn’t contain any alcohol and that prevents the hair from drying up. Another plus point here is, the products are able to provide a long-lasting hold up (be it for curls or for taming the hair frizz) to 24 hours!

Hair Expertise EverStyle is also formulated with botanical extracts like Orange Peel Oil to give an invigoration scent to the hair. Saves me from the embarrassing moments when my hair smells oily!

A good tip when using hairstyling products will be to apply bit by bit. In any case when we need to apply more than one product, we should always start the one with the lightest texture. Simple tips like that will keep the hairstyle fresh and long-lasting enough without damaging the hair conditions.

Basically there are 6 products in Hair Expertise EverStyle range, mainly for,

  • Curls
  • Volumizing
  • Strong-hold

For styling hair curls,  Curl Activating Mousse (S$17.90) is available to shape and boost the curls while taming the frizz and maintain natural shine on the hair. Curl Defining Gel (S$15.90) has a more heavier texture than Curl Activating Mousse. It gives maximum curl control to define and hold the curls after styling.

Both products are to apply on damp hair using fingers to brush through to ensure the products are evenly spread on the hair. Give the hair a blow using diffuser or electric tongs to create the curls.

For volumizing, Volume Boosting Mousse (S$17.90) is a must-have for ladies with fine limpy hair like mine. The light-weight mousse texture boosts up the hair volume without making the hair sticky. It leaves no residue or any flakes on the hair.

This is easy to use as blowing is optional. I’ll just have to apply on my damped hair and spread evenly using fingers, create some volume using my fingers and leave the hair to dry by itself.

For an even more volumizing look, Volume Root Lifting Spray (S$18.90) helps because it is a spray that concentrates on the hair roots, builds up thickness and lift at the roots.

After my hair has turned dry, because of the increase in the volume on my hairtop, twisting my fringe to the hairtop is easier. My hair looks less limpy as well.

For the ladies who loves styling the hair with good holding power, Strong Hold Defining Gel (S$15.90) maybe the perfect one for you. Despite the gel texture, it leaves no residue, stickiness and flakiness on the hair. Infact, hair looks shiny and structure with the strong holding power.

For those who are used to hair spray when comes to strong hold power to the hair, Strong Hold Styling Spray (S$15.90), affordable priced and alcohol-free, is just like a hair mist giving shine to the hair, while also giving the hair a good holding power to the hairstyle.

L’Oreal Hair Expertise EverStyle is now available at Watsons, Guardian, Sasa and selected departmental stores.

Grab one to DIY your hair into a professional-looking hairstyle for this festive month!

#Review# L’Oreal Paris Lucent Magique BB Cream – The 1st Skin Transforming BB Cream!

Last September 2012, L’Oreal Paris launched its first illuminating bb cream, Lucent Magique BB Cream.

Its milky white texture consists of these BB capsules encapsulated a blend of skin-perfecting pigments. When Lucent Magique BB Cream is applied on the skin, these BB capsules will slowly ‘melt’ and blends the BB cream to your skin tone to achieve a radiant glow on the skin.

So even though Lucent Magique BB Cream comes in only one shade, white, it is still able to blend into your skintone naturally.

When I first tried it, I thought the texture looked quite like a cleanser with fine beads.

But it turned out the texture is actually very soft. It didn’t leave a thick  creamy feel on my skin, infact my skin felt light and smooth. My skin also looked natural with radiant coverage (yep, my freckles were sort of less visible without using concealer) and an even skin tone after blending.

I did not have pores issue on my face, so no comment on that.

Comes with SPF 20 PA +++.

Lucent Magique BB Cream is now available at all L’Oreal Paris Counters in SG, retailing at S$24.90.

L’OREAL Paris Dermo-Expertise White Perfect Laser

Few days ago, I witness how scary wrinkles can be when skin aging happens. We will all come to a point of time when anti-aging skincare doesn’t work on us anymore, and some of us may opt for Intensed Pulse Light (IPL) treatments.

But IPL is very expensive and not everyone can afford!

Thanks to L’oreal Paris who have recently made a breakthrough in coming up with White Perfect Laser that challenges to deliver comparable results which IPL can achieves.

Like finally, we have an affordable alternative for IPL, which targets on some of the following major skin issues:

  • Huge pores
  • Uneven skintone
  • Dull skin
  • Rough complexion
  • Wrinkles
  • Pigmentation

L’oreal Paris Dermo-Expertise White Perfect Laser

There are 2 products in this range, and they work in hand in hand based on the concept: Correct and Protect.

Correcting the skin issues is performed by White Perfect Laser™ Anti-Spot Brightening Essence. It helps to light spots, and at the sametime inhibit melanin production.Main ingredient is Ellagic Acid which has 14 times more whitening efficacy as compared to other whitening ingredients.

Its light texture makes it easily absorbed into the skin.

I have only tried the texture and not fully using in on regular basis, so I can’t review much on the results. What I am anticipating is the lightening on my freckles.

I totally dig the texture and smooth finish it leaves on my skin. It does help in getting the next product  in giving moisture to the skin.

So what’s the next product? It’s White Perfect Laser™ All-Round Protection Whitening Cream SPF19/PA+++ . It’s a moisturizer that comes with SPF, to be used during the day.

SPF in day cream is very common, but products with SPF with triple plus is not alot.

It also helps to stop melanin production, and protect the skin from the harmful UVA and UVB.

Despite it’s in cream texture, it’s not too heavy on my oily/dry skin type. But I will still follow up with a sunscreen with higher SPF.

Scary Wrinkles!

Most ladies will think they have yet to have serious wrinkles and freckles appearing, our skin is still going on healthy condition.

But, here’s a warning!

It may not be true. You never knows that underneath the skin layers, the lines and spots are already on their way up to skin’s surface!

Prolong exposure to the harsh environment results in wrinkles and pigmentation forming!

Deeper lines turn more visible after sometime!

So better take precaution early ya! It’s recommended to start using anti-aging products (start with 1 or 2 first) when you are in the mid 20s, or if you are under the sun on high frequent days.

Clinically tested and proven!

After 8 weeks trial by a group of ladies, it has been shown that skin has turned 68% more radiance superior than IPL!

#Review# L’Oreal Paris White Perfect Micro-Vibration 3-in-1 Eye Brightener

Won this Eye Brightener from L’Oreal Paris sometime ago, mentioned in the blog post HERE.

Targets on dark circles, eye puffiness and pigmentation

This eye brightener comes with an eye cream, a roller which helps to improve blood circulation during the massage and also acts like a massager using the micro vibration mode!

It operates on battery.

Why micro-vibration?

It produces 130 micro-vibrations per second! I am convinced that it is able to promote blood circulation. Despite the 130 vibrations/second, they are pretty gentle and in no way can hurt my delicate skin.

For the eye cream, it contains Melanin-Vanish™, extracts of Tourmaline Gemstone, and caffeine to achieve a brightened-up pair of eyes.

Squeeze out the appropriate amount of the eye cream and apply 4 dots under the eye area.

Switch on the vibration mode and start the vibrating massage!

I chanced upon this youtube clip casting 范冰冰, with a little demo on how to use the White Perfect Micro-Vibration 3-in1 Eye Brightener.

Been using it for like a week, haven’t seen much improvements on my dark circles, but I’ve noticed the reduction in puffiness.

I just love the way the micro-vibrations gave to my eye areas, my eyes feel very relaxed during and after the massage.

L’Oreal RevitaLift White, endorsed by Hebe!

L’Oreal has been a very popular brand for most ladies, and this brand has Gong Li being their endorser for quite a few years. You will prolly relate the products with ladies in the 30s and above. I am so agree with this, my mum is a faithful fan of L’Oreal, in terms of skincare and cosmetics.

Anyway, aging starts at the age of 25 on average.

Signs of aging:

  1. Dark Spots
  2. Fine Lines
  3. Loss of Suppleness
  4. Wrinkles
  5. Lack of Radiance
  6. Loss of Firmness
  7. Uneven Skintone
  8. UV Damage
  9. Dull complexion
  10. Dehydrated Skin
  11. Rougher Skin
  12. Darker Skintone
  13. Loss Luminosity
  14. Loss of Softness
  15. Tired Looking Skin

The good news is, this month, L’oreal will be launching a new range of skincare, specially cater to ladies who are in the mid 20s and towards 30s, to combat themselves with aging.

15 signs of aging, 1 solution.

RevitaLift White is the one!

The endorser for RevitaLift White is…

..

..

..

Hebe (from S.H.E)!

She’s definitely the perfect endorser for this range!

So, what makes RevitaLift White effective??

All thanks to the active ingredients contained inside the products.

1. Pro-Retinol A – This is one of the key ingredients which is contained inside almost all the anti-aging products from L’Oreal. It helps to prevent premature aging, that is why RevitaLift White is recommended for the young ladies in the mid 20s. It stimulate the process of cell renewal, and this process reduces fine lines and wrinkles. It also thickens the epidermis layer to result in a skin which is soft, smooth and supple.

2. Vitamin B3 – It tries to stop the melanin to from darkening skin cells. Pigmentation and dark spots will be reduced/prevented in this way. A translucent and radiant skin can be achieved.

3. Shea Butter – This is good for moisturizing the skin. It will lock the moisture under the skin, and ensure suppleness in the skin. And of course, a well0hydrated skin will have less fine lines and wrinkles.

I was invited to this exclusive preview from L’Oreal and had fun at L’Oreal Academie. Colour Theme was Red/White.

Itinerary for the afternoon was,

Mirror decorating contest,

So many pretty mirrors to choose to vote!

Every blogger was given a voting ticket to vote for their favourite mirror.

This is my simple decor on the mirror.

Mine didn’t have the most vote but was one of the top few, and I won myself the highly raved, White Perfect Micro Vibration 3-in-1 Brightener, which targets on dark circles, eye puffiness and pigmentation.


Review will up in my next blog post.

And products from RevitaLift White to take home to try.

[Review] RevitaLift White – Advanced Whitening Spot & Wrinkles Corrector Essence

It’s non-oily on my skin, and I just loved how it helps to prep my skin for moisturizer. Why do I say it helps to prep my skin?

Well, somehow,after applying the essence, the moisturizer is able to be absorb very well into my dry cheeks and oily t-zone, without leaving my face sticky, greasy and too shiny. I’ve tried to use the moisturizer without the essence, my skin turned to be oily more faster than I expected.

So yep, the essence and moisturizer should be used together, in my own opinion.

Comes in a silky soft, milky fluid texture, easily absorbed into the skin. Skin feels kind of supple and smooth after absorption.

[Review] RevitaLift White – Advanced Anti-wrinkle and Spot Corrector day cream

Contains SPF18, not very sufficient in my opinion, hence sunblock is necessary after applying the day cream.

Light creamy texture, to be used after the Advanced Whitening Spot & Wrinkles Corrector Essence. Despite its creamy texture, absorption for this day cream is fast. My skin feels moisturized.

My makeup is able to last for about 5 hours before I need to touch up. There’s no flaky or patchy issues with my makeup.

I am pinning high hope on this RevitaLift White skincare range from L’Oreal Paris. I just love how the 2 products leave my skin feeling supple after applications.

Meanwhile, do look out for them in September ya, they are launching very soon this month!
