My Opinion:

I'm suppose to be on a no buy, but could you imagine my reaction when I saw these little gems in the store, and after all the raves in youtube and blogs, there was no way for me to skip it. It took all my will power to buy only one tube, and after trying it out I had to actually avoid the stores in order not to buy more.....

These lip butters are very moisturizing and pigmented, I think I might go back for a few more.

顏色： 096 Macaroon

價錢： HKD78.4
購買地點：屈臣氏

我的意見：

雖然小妹的2012新年願望是不要再買化妝品，但於店內見到這支唇膏真的忍不了......

去年於youtube已經見到很好人讚這支唇膏，但當時香港仍未有，但今天小妹見到時，真的要用盡我所有的自制能力才能只買一支.

回家試用後，認為真的很正，就如一支有色的潤唇膏，而且顏色都幾持久。我想我明天會再去買多幾支。

Contents: 50g (1.7oz)

Local of Purchase: Watsons

According to Za's webpage:

A powerful sunscreen cream that blocks face and body from UV rays

Effect

SPF 40・PA+++ effectively shields skin from damaging effects of UVA/UVB rays such as dark spots and freckles.
Blends completely into skin, leaving a smooth, natural finish free of white residue.

Ingredients: Zinc Oxide, Octyl Methoxycinnamate, Titanium Dioxide, Water, Cyclomethicone, Butylene Glycol, Dimethicone, Polymethyl Methacrylate, Dimethicone Copolyol, Disteardimonium Hectorite, Trimethylsiloxysilicate, Sodium glutamate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Magnesium chloride, Calcium chloride, Dextrin palmitate, Isostearic Acid, Aluminum distearate, Aluminum hydroxide, Silica, PEG-150, Trisodium EDTA, BHT, Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Fragrance

My Opinion:

I've nearly finished my bottle, and I was really impressed with this sunscreen, because usually sunscreen with a high spf always feels oily or greasy on my skin, but this product is really light and it does not leave a white cast.

根據Za網頁：

防曬霜

SPF40 PA+++ 50g

強力隔絕紫外線傷害，臉部與身體皆可使用。

効果

SPF 30 PA+++有效保護肌膚免受UVA/UVB傷害，防止黑斑與雀斑產生。

使用方法

我的意見：
都差不多用完一支，而我對這支防曬的平價亦非常之高，因為一般高防曬度的防曬都會令我塊面變油，但這支防曬很清爽，而且用後塊面不會變白。

Natur Vital Henna Shampoo

2012-01-05T00:00:00.000-08:00

Contents: 300ml (10.1 fl oz)
Price: HKD 48.00
Local of Purchase: City Super

According to the package:

A new, double natural action formula that brightens and protects your colour. The result is soft, shiny hair with longer-lasting colour

Natural action

Henna "Lawsonia inermis", a natural colouring agent is obtained from crushed dried Henna leaves. Henna extract makes your hair shiny and strong and gives it lots of body. It also brightens natural and dyed hair colour.

Sunflower "Hellianthus annuus L", the extract from Sunflower seeds is rich in polyphenols and protects the colour of natural and dyed hair from the aggression of ultra-violet rays and free radicals. Its action is increased by a UVA+UVB sun filter to protect your hair and prolong its colour.

Results:

Protects and brightens hair colour
Makes hair shiny
Soft and healthy hair

Ingredients: Aqua (Water), Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Lawsonia Inermis (Henna) extract, Hellianthus annuus (Sunflower) seed extract, Panthenol, Sodium PCA, Polyquaternium 10, Glycol Distearate, Propylene Glycol, Cocamide DEA, PEG-55 Propylene Glycol Oleate, Citric Acid, Sodium Chloride, Benzophenone-4, Parfum (Fragrance), Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Ethylparaben, Propylparaben, Butylparaben, Disodium EDTA, CI 42090 (FD&C Blue I), CI 17200 (D&C Red33), CI 19140 (FD&C Yellow 5)

My Opinion:

I mainly use this shampoo in the following situations:

when my hair color starts to fade, and I don't have the time to dye it or
when I've recently dye my hair and the color was just too light.

This shampoo will temporarily darken my hair, and the color will only last until my next wash. I always have a bottle of this and use it whenever my color starts to fade. This is a very convenient and simple way to color your hair without any damages, it has no harsh chemicals in it, and it does leave your hair very soft after wash.

容量： 300ml (10.1 fl oz)

購買地點：City Super

我的意見：

小妹經常染頭髮，有時染出來的顏色太淺或者顏色開始變淡時，但小妹又不想或沒有時間再染時就會用這支洗頭水。它能暫時令到頭髮顏色變深但又不會傷頭髮。

Johnson's baby oil aloe vera & vitamin E

2012-01-04T00:00:00.000-08:00

Contents: 20 fl oz (592ml)

Price: US5.89

Local of Purchage: Gift from my godmother

According to Drugstore's webpage:

Unique formula is enriched with natural aloe vera, known for skin soothing qualities, and vitamin E, a natural skin conditioner.

Forms a silky barrier to prevent excess moisture loss

Softens and helps protect skin from dryness and flaking

Use for infant massage and parent-baby bonding

Clinically proven to be gentle and mild

Allergy and dermatologist tested

Effective for adults skin too

Best for Baby, Best for You.™

Ingredients: Mineral Oil (Paraffinum Liquidum), Aloe Vera (Aloe Barbadensis) Extract, Fragrance (Parfum), Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E) (Vitamin E)

Directions: Apply while skin is still damp from shower or bath for superior moisturizing, helping skin stay soft and smooth.

My Opinion:

I was using this during last winter and didn't get to finish it off, so I've started to use it again this winter and I've nearly finished my bottle.

Personally I hate to apply moisturizer on my body, because it always takes ages to get absorbed and I just hate the stickiness on my body. Since I've got oily skin, I've never really needed to use a moisturizer on my body, but as I started to age it has finally occured to me that I can no longer avoid body moisturizer....

I've tried several different products, and finally found something that I like and that's body oil. I've started with the light version and has progressively moved up to this one. After shower, while my body is still dripping water I just rub this all over my body, I wipe it off with a towel when I come off the shower and my skin would be hydrated and not sticky. I know that what I'm doing is not exactly the right procedure and that you are suppose to pad dry your skin instead of wipping it off, but this is what it works for me and I'm going to stick with my routine.

容量： 20 fl oz (592ml)

價錢：US5.89

購買地點：契媽送的禮物

我的意見：
去年冬天已開始用這支油，但因為因在太大支，無法於一個冬天內用完，因此今個冬天又再拿出來用。

本身屬油性皮膚的我一向都不會用身體的潤膚霜，因為好怕＂痴笠笠＂的感覺，但因為年紀開始大，油脂分泌開始變小，終於都要搽身體潤膚霜。

試過好多款不同的身體護理產品，終於被我發現到自己還是比較喜歡潤膚油。洗澡後身體還滴水時搽，之後再用毛巾擦乾即可，這樣的做法皮膚又潤而且重不會＂痴笠笠＂。雖然根據產品說明，搽完油後應該用毛巾於皮膚上輕按，但這樣的做法小妹還是覺得很＂笠＂，所以我還是會用毛巾抺。

PDC - Oh My God Perfect Gel

2012-01-03T00:00:00.000-08:00

Contents: 150g
Price:HKD165.00
Local of Purchase: Watsons

The official product's webpage is all in Japanese, so if you understand Japanese go check it out, but since I don't understand Japanese, I had to google and found some info from a certain website, but got a message from them telling me to delete the info....

My Opinion:

This removes all my makeup, but please bear in mind that I do not wear water proof makeup. As per the instruction you really do need 2 pumps to remove your makeup, because I've tried using 1 pump and all products seems to be absorbed by my skin. I usually like to go thru my face again with a foam cleanser after I remove my makeup, but with this remover, I don't see the need. So far I've only used this as a makeup remover, in which I'm really satisfied, but I've never tried it as a skincare product, and seriously I do not intend to change my skincare routine, because it took me years to find out about the products that works for me, and I do not intent to change it now.

容量： 150g
價錢：HKD165.00

有關產品資料大家可以參考上面最後兩張圖（按圖可放大）。

我的意見：
這支產品真的能卸去所有的化妝品，但大家請留意小妹從來都不會用防水化妝品。平日卸妝後習慣再用起泡的潔面產品再冼一次面，但用了這支卸妝後，個人認為不需要再洗面。

我只用過這個產品來卸妝，每次要按兩下才有足夠份量卸妝，按一下的份量會被皮膚完全吸引，根本無法卸妝。雖然這個產品可以當護膚品用，但因為小妹用了很多年的時間才能找到現時最適合自已的護膚品，因此暫時無打算轉護膚品。

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

On my last haul post I've said that I wasn't going to buy anymore, but since I've been lemming for a vanilla scented fragrance and the fact that Bourjois was having a 20% off discount.....
雖然小妹話過不會再買野，但近期真的很想要一支雲呢嗱味的香水，另外Bourjois最近又有８折......

Anyway, I'm officially on a no buy, but don't worry, I have enough stuffs to last me for several years....
新一年的新年願望就是不再買東西，但大家不要擔心，因為小妹的存貨應該都夠我用幾年.....

SK-II Whitening Source Derm Definition

2011-12-30T00:00:00.000-08:00

Contents: 50ml
Price: HKD833.00

According to SK-II webpage:

High intensity treatment serum - the foundation of the Whitening Source range. Helps re-balance skin tone across three visual dimensions - translucency, evenness and radiance. Illuminates skin and creates more uniform tone with colour balancing moisturizers, giving a deeper and clearer appearance. Contains the highest concentration of our exclusive DermComplex.

My Opinion:

I swear by SK-II whitening products, I've tried my share of whitening products and none has ever worked like SK-II. I mean other products still works, but it takes a long time to see any visible effects, while with SK-II, you'll need only about a week to really see a difference. It evens out and brightens your skin tone, it just make your skin look radiant.

The Whitening Source Derm Definition is no longer available in Asia, and it has been replaced by the Cellumination Essence which I've recently got a bottle for my mum, who came back from a trip super tanned. Let me tell you something about my mum, she's someone who doesn't care about skin care or makeup, but whenever she finishes her bottle of SK-II serum, she always tells me to get her a new bottle, I think that really does tell you how good this product is.

容量：50ml

價錢：HKD833.00

我的意見：

小妹認為SK-II美日產品是最好的，個人都試過不少的美白產品，而其他品牌不是無效，但需要使用一段長時間後才會見到效果，但使用SK-II美白精華約一星期你已經可以見到明顯的效果。它能均勻膚色以及提升皮膚的光澤，用後會覺得膚色很美。

於亞洲已經買不到Whitening Source Derm Definition，它已被新出的 Cellumination Essence取代了，而小妹亦剛買了支給媽媽。小妹的媽媽是一位對化妝品及護膚品完全沒興趣的人，但每次用完支SK-II美日精華都會叫我去買過支新的，我想這應該足夠證明這支精華素真的不錯。

Ipsa Skin Beauty Control Base

2011-12-29T00:00:00.000-08:00

Contents: 18g
Shade: Yellow
Price HK$200.00

This product has already been discontinued, and the new version is call Pure Control Base, and according to Ipsa's webpage:

A makeup base that controls light to enhance the clarity of skin and a beautiful finish of foundation. A beautiful complexion is created by a good balance of "blue", "yellow" and "red" reflected light. (Yellow) is intended to add "yellow" light to adjust the balance of light in three colors. Softly smoothes on with perfect adherence to the skin and keeps the skin bright and translucent. SPF15 PA+.

Ingredients: Aqua, Cyclomethicone, Butylene Glycol, Octinoxate, Diphenylsiloxy Phenyl Trimethicone, PEG-10 Dimethicone, Glycerol, Silica, Disteardimonium Hectorite, Tocopheryl Acetate, Polyquaternium-51, Lavandula Vera, Spiny Restharrow, Isostearic Acid, Aluminum hydroxide, Aluminum distearate, Trisodium EDTA, Triethoxycaprylylsilane, Calcium aluminum borosilicate, Tin oxide, BHT, Tetradecene, vitamin E, Phenoxyethanol, Titanium(IV) Oxide, Mica, Ultramarines, Iron Oxides, Zinc Oxide

My opinion:

I've tried the new version at the counter and apart from the container it appears to be the same as the older version. I had my bottle for ages and the reason why I still have it, is because this base has a very thick texture, and personally I would prefer something lighter.

I can only use this when the climate is really dry, and on those days I do like the effect, it evens out my skin tone with a bit of coverage. For each application you'll only need a tiny bit of product, about half a squirt, and it's kind of hard for me to control the amount because I have it in a pump, but since they have change the container I guess that it would be easier to control the amount now.

I got this in yellow, because at the Ipsa counter they have this computer where they'll test your skin and according to the results I was recommended to get this in yellow. If I had to buy it myself, I would never have got this in yellow, but the recommended shade really did even out my skin tone, therefore, if you are interested make sure you do the test before you get it.

容量： 18g

IPSA Skin Beauty Control Base 美肌調光底霜

調節藍、黃或紅光的反射度，使膚色均勻透亮平滑肌膚及令粉底均勻貼服，營造自然亮麗效果蘊含Skin Beauty Powder 美肌粉末及Optical Code Powder光感粉末，有助提昇肌膚的『素肌透光度』，營造柔滑的膚質。
具有SPF 15 PA+，保護肌膚免受紫外線的損害。
售價：$200/3色

我的意見：

我這支妝前底霜已停產，新版叫 Pure Control Base，而小妹亦於專櫃試過，個人認為除了包裝外，和舊版沒有什麼分別。

這支妝前底霜的質地很厚，而小妹的皮膚比較油，所以只能於天氣很乾的日子才能使用。這支底霜可以均勻膚色而且重有小小遮瑕，效果不錯。每次所需的份量很小，大約按個pump半吓就夠，所以一支可以用很夠。

這支底霜有３個色，粉紅／藍／黃，如果小妹自己選就一定不會買黃色，但因為買之前於專櫃用電腦做了皮膚測試而根據結果小妹才決定要買黃色，如果大家對這支妝前底霜有興趣不防先到專櫃做個測試後才買。

Scent: A delicate floral.

Top: Sparkling Pear, Clementine

Mid: SweetPea, Jasmine Sambac, Honeysuckle

Base: Sleek Woods, Vanilla, Skin Musk

My Opinion:

I've mainly been using citrus scented fragrance for the past year, but recently I've been craving sweet scented fragrance, especially vanilla scented stuffs.

To be honest I didn't really love this fragrance, but I've worn it twice and both times has been asked by a stranger what scent I was wearing, so I guess this stuffs does smells good, but it just isn't my favorite.

小妹於過去一年都只會用柑橘味的香水（如：橙／檸檬／西柚），但近期忽然很喜歡甜味的香水，特別是雲呢嗱味的東西都非常喜歡。

說實話，真的不覺得這支香水有什麼特別，只用了兩次，但每次都於街上被陌生人問用的是什麼香水，雖然不是我所愛的東西，但這支香水都應該幾受歡迎。

e.l.f. Brushes

2011-12-27T00:00:00.001-08:00

Foundation Brush - 粉底掃

Small Angled Brush－斜型眼線掃

Blush Brush－胭脂掃

Powder Brush－碎粉掃

Flat Eyeliner Brush－平頭眼線掃

My Opinion:

e.l.f. brushes are actually hits or misses, there are some that I really like, but there are also a few that I barely touched, but before I start with my review, let me clarify that I don't usually use the brushes for the expected purpose. Like the foundation brush, I never use it to apply foundation, actually I never use paddle brushes for foundation, the result is always streaky, but I like to use this kind of foundation brushes for cream blushes.

Please ignore the stain on the small angle brush above because it has been used, and I like to use it for a wing liner.

The blush brush was really a miss, personally I found it too small for blushes and a bit to scratchy for my taste, but I can still use it for highlighters.

Again the powder blush was actually too small for powder (IMO), but I found it to be the right size for blushes or bronzers.

Finally, for the flat liner brush, I found it to be too soft for liner, and I actually prefer to use it for highlights in the inner corner of my eyes.

Perhaps I'm weird when it comes to makeup brushes, but I'll always find a way to use them.

我的意見

e.l.f.的化妝掃真的時好時壞，有些真的不錯，但有些真的不太好用。於開始介紹化妝掃前，請先讓小妹向大家說明一吓我用化妝掃的習慣，小妹不會根據產品說明的用法去用化妝掃，例如上面的第二張圖的那支粉低掃，小妹從來都不會用這種粉底掃來搽粉底，但就很喜歡用這種粉底掃來搽膏狀胭脂。

小妹喜歡用上面那支斜型眼線掃來畫向上鉤的眼線，而平頭眼線掃就會用來畫上眼的內眼線。致於上面那支胭脂掃個頭實在太細，小妹比較喜歡用它來上高光，而支碎粉掃就會用來上胭脂。

可能小妹使用化妝品掃的習慣有點兒古怪，但我總找到方法去使用我的化妝掃。

Juju Cosmetics Moisture Aloe Toner

2011-12-26T00:00:00.000-08:00

Contents: 200ml
Price: HKD58.50

According to Juju Cosmetics Webpage:

This free-flowing, light-texture toner penetrates smoothly into the stratum corneum,making the skin fresh and elastic.It can also be applied on the cotton pads to use as facial masks.

It contains hyaluronic acid※ and collagen※.

・Contains certified organic aloe sap.

^※Moisturizing Ingredient

no fragrance/no artificial color/no mineral oil/Mild acidity

According to Sasa's webpage:

JuJu Cosmetics Natural JuJu Moisture Aloe Toner (Smooth) is suitable for oily and combination skin.

Made of 100% organic aloe, the toner prevents excess sebum secretion and keeps the skin’s moisture level in balance, hence reducing the appearance of fine lines.

It also stimulates the renewal of skin cells and strengthens the natural barrier function of surface skin. Contains no fragrance and artificial color.

how to use it
After cleansing, saturate cotton with the toner and apply on face.

country of origin
Japan

suitable for
oily and acne skin / combination skin

My Opinion:

I've read it somewhere that toner is not really an essential item in your skincare regime, is just an extra step that doesn't do much to your skin.

Although that's what the experts claims, personally I just love toner, and I use it everyday to:

remove all residue that hasn't been removed by the cleanser, for such purpose I usually wet a cotton ball and wipe my face with it;
improve the absorption of skincare products, I use a spritzer and spray my face with toner, and while my face is still damp, I apply my serum and toner. I've noticed that all my skincare products aborbs faster/better on damp skin.

容量： 200ml
價錢： HKD58.50

根據SASA網頁：

JuJu Cosmetics Natural JuJu蘆薈保濕爽膚水 (清爽)，特別適用於油性及混合性皮膚。

以100%有機蘆薈製成的爽膚水，有效抑制過剩油脂分泌，保持肌膚滋潤，從而減低皺紋出現機會。

爽膚水的保濕滋潤成份，幫助促進細胞更生及加強表層肌膚的天然保護機能。產品不含香料及人造色素。

使用方法
潔面後，用化妝棉沾取適量JuJu Cosmetics Natural JuJu蘆薈保濕爽膚水，在面上輕拍。

原產地
日本

適合膚質
油及暗瘡性皮膚 / 混合性皮膚

我的意見：

記得曾經看過一編文章指爽膚水其實是一個多餘的護膚步驟，爽膚水對皮膚的保養功效不大。雖然如此，小妹仍堅持每天使用爽膚水作以下的用途：

抺去潔面後仍留在面上的污垢，通常潔面後小妺會以爽膚水弄濕一個棉花球再抺面；
用爽膚水弄濕塊面後才搽護膚品，這樣的做法會令皮膚更快吸收你所搽的護膚品。

Meiji Amino Collagen Premium Gold

2011-12-23T22:45:00.000-08:00

Contents: 200g
Price: HKD325.00

According to Meiji's webpage:

Amino Collagen Premium is a superb combination of the latest trend of most needed beauty ingredients including Hyaluronic Acid (for daily moisture) and Coenzyme Q10 (to support energy for easy absorption).

Highly recommended for women who is seeking firmer, more elastic and radiant skin. Embark on an early anti-aging regime by taking Amino Collagen Premium today!

1 spoonful of Amino Collagen Premium contains :

5000mg of 100% Fish-derived, Refined, Low Molecular Collagen Peptide - Easily absorb by the body.

450mg of Arginine (Amino Acid) - Revitalizes your beautiful skin. A type of amino acid that is essential for maintaining healthy skin.

50mg of Vitamin C - Neccessary for creating collagen. The essential vitamin that supports collagen.

60mg of Hyaluronic Acid - Hyaluronic acid is able to absorb up to 6000 times its molecular weight. It acts like a molecular sponge. This sponge-like quality gives the skin its youthful, firm appearance thus reduce face wrinkles.

10mg of Coenzyme Q10 - Coenzyme Q10 is naturally stored in our body. It is good for our beauty, health and vitality.

60mg of Glucosamine - A type of amino sugar that is often used for supplements as a component to create Hyaluronic Acid.

My Opinion:

I've been taking Collagen supplements for over a year now, and according to the instruction you are suppose to take one spoon everyday, but I've noticed that I can only tolerate one spoon every other day, otherwise I'll just break out.

I've been changing products all the time, and I've noticed that whenever I start with a new brand, I'll always break out at the initial stage (about a week), but once is cleared I'll be fine.

I'm basically hooked with collagen supplements, because I've noticed that once I stopped taking it for about a week, there would be a visible difference on my skin (e.g. lack of elasticity, skin looks dull,etc.).

I've started taking Meiji Amino Collagen (the original version) last year, and was very satisfy with the results, but when I saw the Premium version on the store, I just had to try it. This is even better than the original version, because by taking the original version you need some time to see any actual difference on your skin, while after taking the Premium version for less than a week, I've noticed huge difference on my skin.

The premium version is pricier than the original version, but definetly worth it.

根據產品說明：

成份：

氨基膠原—每天飲用能增加皮膚彈性，減淡皺紋，提升肌膚保濕力，平衡油脂分泌，使肌膚亮麗緊緻。
輔酶Q10—有助促進新陳代謝，保持細胞健康，對抗衰老。
透明質酸—提升肌膚吸水力，保持肌膚水嫩柔軟。
精安酸—讓身體產生適量的蛋白質，促進肌膚健康。
氨基葡萄糖—提升皮膚鎖水力，時刻保持潤澤有彈性。
維他命C—幫助身體製造更多骨膠原，回復肌膚自然青春美。

我的意見：

小妹已服用了膠原補充產品超過一年，大部份的產品都要求使用者每天服用，但根據小妹的個人體質，只能隔日服用，否則一定會出粒粒。

於這一年內，小妹都轉過好幾個不同的品牌，而每一次轉新品牌，都定必會出粒粒，約一星期後就會無事，所以大家如過食完膠原補充產品發現出粒粒，那是正常的。

膠原補充產品已變成小妹的必需品，因為如果小妹停服超過一星期，皮膚就會明顯變差（如單性變差，膚色變暗等）。

去年小妹已試過明治的氨基膠原，覺得效果不錯，於是見明治出了這個金裝就買來一試。這個新裝比舊裝更正，服用舊裝時要等一段時間才能見到皮膚的改善，但服用了這個金裝大約一星期已見到皮膚有明顯的改善，真的不錯。雖然這個金裝比舊裝貴，但小妹覺得值得。

Today is my B'day, and I have been buying gift for myself for the whole month, and I think I really went overboard this time, is about time for another "no buy".

今天是小妹的生日，而這個12月小妹不斷買禮物比自已，今次實在有點兒過份，應該有段長時間都不能再買東西了。

The Body Shop Jolly Orange Bath and Shower Gel

2011-12-19T00:00:00.000-08:00

Contents: 250ml (8.4 us fl oz)

Price: HKD89.00

Ingredients: Aqua, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Acrylates Copolymer, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Glycerin, Coco-Glucoside, Sodium Choride, Benzyl Alcohol, Parfum, Sodium Hydroxide, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Fruit Water, Mel, Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel, Salicylic Acide, Limonene, Disodium EDTA, Sorbic Acide, Linalool, CI 15985.

My Opinion:

This came with last years X'mas collection and you guys know how much I love Citrus scent, so when I saw it in the store, I just have to have it. I had this for nearly a year, and only started to used it recently, because I was expecting a summery citrus scent, but this just smells like orange ginger cake, and winter is the only season where I would appreciate such scent. I've noticed that this shower gel was not included in this year collection, and they have something like ginger scented shower gel this year which I've skipped.

容量： 250ml (8.4 us fl oz)

價錢： HKD89.00

我的意見：

這支沐浴露是Body Shop去年聖誕節出的，大家都知我真的非常喜歡橙味的東西，所以一見到這支沐浴露就買了。買了差不多一年都沒有用它是因為這支沐浴露根本就不是我最喜歡的鮮橙味，而是很甜的橙味蛋糕味，雖然不是不喜歡，但這樣的甜味每年只有在聖誕節我才會喜歡。

My Opinion:

I know this might sound unbelievable, but this is actually my first Mac single eyeshadow. I don't usually wear shadows on a daily basis, and for most of the time I prefer to buy quads or pallettes. I got this on an impulse and have been loving it. I mainly use it for blending, and I think I might go back and get a few more basic/neutral shades from MAC (I have my eyes on brule, all that glitters and patina) .

容量： 1.5g (0.05 uz oz)

價錢： HKD135.00

顏色： Wedge

我的意見：

這是小妹的第一盒MAC單色眼影，一般都比較喜歡買多色眼影quad，但近期比較喜歡啞色眼影所以就了這盒來試。主要用它作blending，效果不錯，令我想買多幾隻不同的顏色。

我的意見：其實小妹只用過這支掃一兩次，因為個人比較喜歡體積比較大的化妝掃，但早幾日行過Shiseido專樻，拿了那支新化妝掃來試，個人覺得和Shiseido支新化妝掃和Sonia Kashuk的這支掃真的很像。

Shade: 83244 Temptress

Price: US$6.00

For product details, please check out my previous post on the e.l.f. cream blush.

My Opinion:

I've got a bunch of e.l.f. cream blushes and this particular shade deserves a special review.

This shade actually came unexpected, because I was shopping for blushes and was very excited to find these in the store and have grabbed all the shades available, I wasn't expecting to find a bronzer in it.

Initially I was kind of dissapointed, because personally I prefer shimmery bronzers, but when I've tried to use it to contour, I was really glad with the results, powder has never worked for me, and it always look too obvious, but this bronzer was just perfect, it contours while still looking natural.

容量：0.53oz/15g

顏色：83244 Temptress

價錢： US$6.00

有關產品說明，大家可以參考早前的有關e.l.f. Cream Blush的文章

我的意見：

對於修容初哥這是必備產品，小妹每次用粉狀修容產品後總覺得效果好假，但用了這個修容霜後，效果好自然。正！

2011-12-13T00:00:00.000-08:00

Contents: 180ml
Price: HKD89.00

According to Hadalabo's webpage:

AHA/BHA Exfoliating Care
Inspired by the smoothness and delicateness of a shelled egg, this "eggquisite" cleanser contains Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) and Beta Hydroxy Acid (BHA) to give clarity, brightness and promote skin cell removal by preventing dead skin cell buildup. The gentle cleanser lathers into a fine , velvety foam to prevent blemishes and polishes away dullness for a renewed skin everyday.

Polishes away dullness & refine's skin texture for visibly clear, smooth & radiant skin.
Skin PH balance. Low irritation.

This product is recommended to be used with a sunscreen product

My Opinion:

This is one of those self foaming facial cleanser, something like the Dove Go Fresh Cleansing Foam, when you press the pump, it comes out in a foam.

I've enjoyed using it, but did not find it amazing, and since Dove is half of it's price, I think I'll stick with Dove.

容量：180ml
價錢：HK$89.00

根據肌研網頁：

卵肌溫和去角質泡洗顏

豐盈彈力慕斯泡泡，能徹底洗淨多餘皮脂／毛孔髒污／黑頭粉刺及老舊角質
添加AHA角質柔軟成份，提升皮膚吸收機能並呈現健康狀態，成就細緻光滑肌
弱酸性
以溫和對待肌膚為重點，低刺激性／無添加和料／色素／礦物油／酒精

我的意見：
這支潔面泡和我曾經用過的Dove潔面泡沒什麼分別，但這支潔面泡貴Dove一倍，我想我還是會用回Dove。

PHY Camellia Oil

2011-12-10T00:00:00.000-08:00

Contents: 200ml

Price: HKD238.00

According to package:

What is meant by Camellia Oil?

Camellia Oil is not a comestic product, it is a natural an pure oil. It is indispensable to the human skin. It's medical name is "Oleic Oil", which is found in Camellia Oil and is the major component (86%) of this oil. It is not easy to be oxygenated and evaporate. It fits perfectly the human body.

The magic of Camellia Oil

According to resarches conducted by experts in China, Japan, the US and Europe, Camellia Oil is the most easily absorbed by the human skin among the plant oil. It activates and improves people's skin by spreading the oil essence into the deepest skin base.

The process of the metabolism: after we apply Camellia oil on the skin, the oil essence will spread into the layer of skin. Just as the grass turns to look fresh, moist and pretty after watering, so the skin will become moist, fresh and elastic with the supplement of Camellia oil.

The history of Camellia Oil

Camellia Oil has a history of more than 3,000 years in China. It reached its peak in usage in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. According to legend, Empress Dowager Cixi of the Qing Dynasty used Camellia Oil as the body and facial massage oil, keeping her skin smooth and bright.

In the Republican period, MDM Meiling Soong, wife of Chiang Kai Chek, believed firmly in Camellia Oil. She is now living in New York City, aged 103. On her hundred year oil birthday, she told a senior reporter of the New Your Times about the secrets of her skincare. One of them is her nurse using Camellia Oil to do facial and body massage for her every night before sleeping.

Josephine, mistress of Napoleon, also loved Camellia Oil. She planted only Camellia in her garden. A gardener was specially assigned to extract the oil from the flower seeds which was then used as the skin lotion for Josephine. People found Josephine as pretty as the flower when the garden was full of the luxuriant Camellia. Therefore, people called her "the Princess of Camellia" .

Many movie stars in Hollywood also perceive Camellia Oil as their skin protector since the pureness of the Oil is of great benefit to their skin.

Women in today's Japan are crazy about Camellia Oil. There is at least one Camellia Oil Club with huge membership in each province or city in Japan. Camellia Oil in Japan originated in the Tang Dynasty. An emperor of the Tang Dynasty gave Camellia seeds to a certain Japan official as gift. People in Japan discovered the magic power of Camellia Oil since then.

The main components of Camellia Oil

The growth period of Camellia Oil is quite long. It blooms in winter, bears fruit in spring and harvests seeds in autumn. Camellia Oil is extracted from these seeds which have absorbed the essence of the nature in different seasons. Camellia Oil is 100% pure and natural.

There re three types of Camellia with three different colors: one is white, one red and one golden. Camellia oil extracted from the golden Camellia which is the best among the three.

The Camellia Oil is composed of:

Oleic Oil - 86%
Linolenic Acid - 5%
Palmitic Acide 7.4%
Unsaponifiable Matter - 0.9%
Phytosterol - 0.6%

Other components include Vitamin, Protein, etc, which are beneficial to the human body and, certainly, without any harms.

Amazing Functions of Camellia Oil

According to the minutes of the meetings of Camellia Oil Club members (during the meetings they talked about their experiences of using Camellia Oil), the amazing functions of this oil are:

makes the tough skin become smooth tight and elastic.
lightens the black spots and red spots on the skin emerged after long exposure to sunlight.
softens the skin pores in the face and body; makes it easier to erase the pimples and acne on the skin
for sensitive skin: camellia oil normalizes the skin operation and keeps the skin in good condition. It also strengthens skin protection.
reduces dirts and wrinkles on the skin
provide the skin with adequade moisture and nutrition to prevent the skin from losing elasticity

My opinion:

This came highly recommended by a colleague at work, and she actually swears by it, she uses on her face, body and hair. Since she keeps on raving about this product, I got myself a bottle, and actually felt guilty for not liking it.....

This oil smells exactly like cooking oil and the scent lingers on for over an hour, seriously I just can't stand smelling like cooking oil.....

I don't know about my readers, but I've never heard about camellia oil before this colleague started to rave about it, after doing some research, there's actually another well known name for this oil and is call Tsubaki (ring some bells?).

根據產品說明：

何為金花油？

金花油不是化妝品，更不是奢侈品，它是一種天然純正的油，人體皮膚中不可缺少的油。醫學稱油為＂油酸中性脂肪＂。山茶花油中含的百分之八十六以上油酸便是它。它的特質是不易氧化，不易乾燥，不易蒸發。它非常穩定而且與人體的需要奇妙地吻合。

金花油最神奇奧妙之處

根據中國／日本及歐美的美容專家研究下來，山茶花油比其他植物油更容易為皮膚接受。它更易滲透表皮及內層，令皮膚增殖／活潑，促進新陳代謝的功效也更顯著。皮膚新陳代謝的過程－－從基底層／棘層／角質層，塗抹了山茶花油後，層層滲透／滋潤／更生，有如源頭活水，涓涓滴滴的把你調理成水蔥兒式的新鮮／自然／煥發／靚麗。

金花油的歷史典故

山茶花油的歷史在中國己有三千多年了。在明朝／清朝尤其盛行於皇室中人。相傳慈禧太后／珍妃便是早晚都由宮女以山荼花油按摩全身，來保持如羊脂玉一般的肌膚。到了民國時期，蔣介石夫人宋美齡女士，更是山荼花油的愛用者。今年已一百零三歲，身歷三個世紀，目前隱居在美國紐約長島的名女人，在她一百歲時，曾對＂紐約時報＂的資深女記者透露地養顏妙方：一是每晚臨睡前由特別護士為她做全面及全身的按摩，用的正是山茶花油。二是灌腸。

再說到拿破崙的情人約瑟芬，她在城堡中只種植一種山茶花，請專人將山荼花榨油為她護膚，滿園山茶花盛開時，美人靚麗如花，傾國傾城，世人稱她為山茶公主。

此外，荷里活的女星，注重皮膚保養，熱愛採用天然山茶花油的美女多不勝數。

今天的日本女人對山茶花油更狂熱，每一洲省縣市都有椿油俱樂部，這椿油便是山茶花油。相傳唐朝時，日本派遺唐使進貢禮品，中國皇宮禮尚往來，以山茶樹的種籽相贈，於是日本有了山茶樹。終於日本女人也發現了山茶花油的珍貴處，愛之若狂。

金花油的主要成份

山茶樹的生長時期悠長，夏季茁長，冬天開花，春天結果，秋天採籽。油便是從種籽中提煉出來，百分之百的純正／天然，而且吸取了一年四季大自然的精華，彌足珍貴。山荼花有白色／紅色及金黃色，其中以金黃色的品種為極品。

它所含的主要成分：

油酸中性脂肪　－　86%
亞油酸　－　5%
棕櫚酸　－　7.4%
不皂化物　－　0.9%
甾醇　－　0.6%

其他成份如香樹素／維他命／蛋白素／甘茶素等，都是對人體皮膚有百利而無一害，大可放心使用。

金花油的驚人功效

根據日本各大椿油部會員／主持人交流的會議記錄，以及各地山茶花油迷的親自現身說法，歸納下來：

成份天然，容易被皮膚吸收／更新細胞，可對抗皮膚老化現象。
可改善粗糙有皺紋的皮膚，使皮膚變得細緻／幼滑富彈性。
可改善敏感性皮膚，使肌膚變得健康及具抵抗力。
可軟化及去除面部皮膚的黑頭／粉刺，令膚質變得柔潤亮澤。
可改善暴曬後引致的黑斑／斑點，並能淡化斑印。
具營養潤髮的功效，可促進頭髮生長及使白髮轉黑。
可紓緩及滋潤妊娠紋所引致的肚皮脹裂不適感。
可滋潤乾燥爆裂的口唇／唇紋。

金花油的用法

用於面部：早晚洗面及抺上化妝水後，兩邊面頰各放兩滴金花油，然後用手指輕輕打轉按摩十分鍾。

用於腹部妊娠紋：早晚抺上少許金花油，用手心在腹部轉按摩十五分鐘，且有收緊腹部之功效。

用於頭髮：洗髮後抺上少許金花油，仔細塗勻。有潤髮兼促使頭髮生長快速之功效。

我的意見：

小妹從未聽過金花油這個名字，但由於有位同事勁讚，又說可用於全身，包括面，身和頭髮也可以用，所以就買了瓶來試。

這瓶油的功效好不好我不知道，因為只用了一次就放棄了，這瓶油的味道很像煮食油，而且那個煮食油的味道會於身體上維持一段時間。這個產品再好，小妹也無副消受...

Conditioner 220ml - HKD48.00
Hair and Scalp Mask 200g - HKD42.00

My Opinion:

The Shampoo and the conditioner did not strike me as outstanding, however I was sort of surprised with the Hair and Scalp mask, because according to the instruction you were suppose to massage it into your scalp (which I was kind of sceptical, because having oily roots, I always avoid applying products into the scalp).

As per the instructions, I've massaged it into my scalp and it left a cooling sensation, which I think there is something like mint in it, afterwards I've massaged some products into the rest of my hair and if left it soft without weighting it down. I found this pack to be just average, and most probably suitable for someone with normal hair.

我的意見：
這個套裝的洗髮水和護髮素只屬一般，但髮膜還算特別，因為可以塗於頭皮上。小妹的頭皮很油，平日都不會塗護髮產品於頭皮上，但塗了這個產品於頭皮上，會有清涼的感覺，個人認為應該有薄荷成份。使用這個髮膜後，頭髮變得好清爽但不乾。我覺得這個套裝比較適合健康的髮質使用。

Lavshuca Stick Concealer N

2011-12-07T00:00:00.000-08:00

Contents: 3.9g
Shade: Natural Beige
Price: HKD79.80

My Opinion:

Lavshuca is a Japanese drugstore cosmetics from Kanebo. This concealer is not bad, I can actually use it under my eyes during the summer without feeling dry, but my problem is with the color matching, this only comes is 3 shades, and the one that I got is the medium which is still slightly to light for my NC30 skin. I can still wear it during the winter when I'm about NC25, but then it does feel slightly dry under the eye area. This would be good for the face, but since I'm always searching for the perfect undereye concealer, I guess the searching will still have to be continued.

I've try swatching the next shade up, but it was just too pink, if you are interested in their shade selection check out their webpage.

容量： 3.9g
顏色：Natural Beige
價錢：HKD79.80

我的意見：
這支遮瑕膏常算不錯，夏天使用於眼周不會覺乾，可惜只有3隻顏色，小妹選了中間色，但夏天使用有點兒淺色（我的膚色：NC30），但冬天使用又有點兒乾。其實用於面上是沒有問題的，但小妹其實想找一支眼部遮瑕膏所以還是要繼續找尋。

我有試過這個品牌深一個色的遮瑕膏，可以實在太紅，如果大家對這個遮瑕膏有興趣可以參閱它們的網頁。

La Prairie Essence of Skin Caviar Eye Complex

2011-12-06T00:00:00.000-08:00

Contents: 15ml (0.5 fl oz)
Price: HKD741.00

According to the package:

This intensive, highly effective gel from of treatment for the delicate eye area provides visible results in tone, texture and firmness. The appearance of fine, dry lines are immediately dramatically minimized as it helps prevent the feeling of under-eye puffiness. This ultra gentle treatment provides effective day and night care.

Ingredients: Water (Aqua), Propylene Glycol, Lactose, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Panthenol, Glycerin, Algae Extract, Glycoproteins, Panax Ginseng Root Extract, Equisetum Arvense (Horsetail) Extract, Fructose, Polyquaternium-11, Allantoin, Sodium Hydroxide, Carbomer, Pyrus Malus (Apple) Fruit Extract, Saccharide Isomerate, Glyceryl Polymethacrylate, Yeast (Faex) Extract, Caviar Extract, Aleuritic Acid, Butylene Glycol, Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Ethylparaben, Propylparaben, Butylparaben, Isobutylparaben.

My Opinion:

This is a really good eye serum that hydrates your undereye area, and if you have visible dry lines, it'll get rid of it instantly (note: it will only get rid of dry lines, not wrinkles).

Although this product might sound expensive, you only need one drop for both eyes. I've been using it of about a month and only 1/4 of the bottle is gone.

As much as I like this serum, I'd still prefer Ultima II over it, because apart from hydration, Ultima II does significantly lighten my circles. I've noticed my circles getting worst as I've switch to La Prairie.

容量： 15ml (0.5 fl oz)

價錢： HKD741.00

根據產品說明：
這款深層，　高效的啫喱狀眼部精華，特別適合脆弱的眼週肌膚，能明顯改善眼部肌膚，膚質和緊實度，即時淡化細紋和乾紋，并預防眼部浮現現象。性質亦非常溫和，能日夜肌膚提供卓越的眼部護理。

我的意見：
這是一支非常之保濕的眼部精華，如果你眼周有乾紋，這真的能令它們消失（注：只會令乾紋消失，皺紋不會消失的）。

這個產品價錢好像有點貴，但每次小妹只需一滴就足夠兩隻眼，所以用了差不多一個月亦只用了1/4瓶。

雖然覺得這個眼部精華不錯，但還是比較喜歡Ultima II，因為自轉了用La Prairie後小妹發現我個黑眼圈深了很多。

My Opinion:

I've been changing my daytime moisturizer all the time for the past 2 years, an that's because I haven't found a moisturizer that I've liked enough to consider repurchasing (note: my face is oily in the summer and combo in the winter), and I always though that my requirements were pretty simple, all I needed was a moisturizer that moisturizes without breaking me out or leaving my skin oily.

I think the searching is about to stop, because Aveeno is exactly what I need.

容量： 4 fl. oz (120ml)

價錢：US16.79

我的意見：

於過去兩年小妹不停在轉換日霜，那是因為一直未能找到令我滿意的產品。其實小妹的要求亦不算高，只要能保濕但不要令到塊面油和出暗瘡就行。

找了差不多兩年終於都找到Aveeno。

Lux Super Damage Repair Black Diamond Energy Supply Essence

2011-12-04T00:00:00.000-08:00

Contents: 100ml

Price: HKD49.90

My Opinion:

This is a life saver product for me, while I was on holiday in Guam I forgot to bring my set of hair treatment products and was freaking out worrying about what would happen to my hair after I wash it.

The only hair product that I had with me was the Lux essence, and after washing my hair, I've smooth 1 squirt (more than this will leave my hair greasy) over my towel dry hair, and on the next day my hair was still manageble. Note: I have oily but really damage curly hair, a product that's too rich will flatten my hair while a product that's not rich enough will leave my hair unmanageable.

容量： 100ml

價錢： HKD49.90

我的意見：

早前到關島旅行時只帶了這支護髮產品，起初有點擔心是否足夠，因為本身頭髮很乾，但最後發現這個產品真的不錯，只要於晚上洗完頭後，抺乾頭髮再搽這個產品，第二天早上起來頭髮會變得很柔順。

Price: HK$18.00

My Opinion:

When I've seen this in the store I though that it might be a good dupe for the Benefit Big Beautiful Eyes palette, but when I've swatch it at the back on my hand it was a huge dissapointment. The 3 lighter shades all look exactly the same, just a light wash of sheen, only the 2 darkest shade seems to show up, poor pigmentation.

顏色： 02
價錢： HK$18.00

我的意見：
見到這個眼影時覺得顏色很像Benefit Big Beautiful Eyes，可惜買了回家後才發現一點也不像，比較淺色的那３個顏色，根本就只有珠光，看不到顏色。比較深的那兩個啡色亦只看到丁點兒顏色。

The Body Shop Colourglide Lip Colour

Contents: 4g (0.14oz)

Price: HKD115.00

Shade: 54 Pastel Rose

According to Body Shop's webpage:

A range of rich and luxurious, moisturizing lipsticks that offer long-lasting, intense color coverage while helping to condition the lips. Dermatologically tested.

Ingredients:

Lanolin Oil, Sesamum Indicum (Sesame) Seed Oil, Acetylated Lanolin, Lanolin Cera, Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) Wax, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Synthetic Wax, Beeswax, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Lanolin, Sclerocarya Birrea (Marula) Oil, Polyethylene, Calcium Sodium Borosilicate, Isopropyl Palmitate, Fragrance, Stearalkonium Hectorite, Tocopheryl Acetate, Rosa Moschata (Rosehip) Seed Oil, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Silica, Propylene Glycol Dicaprylate/Dicaprate, Gardenia Tahitensis Flower Extract, Isopropyl Titanium Triisostearate, Propylene Carbonate, Tocopherol, Benzyl Salicylate, Vanilla Tahitensis Fruit Extract, Limonene, Tin Oxide, Ascorbyl Palmitate.

My Opinion:

This is the 3rd body shop's lipstick that I've tossed in this year, all these 3 lipsticks has been acquired at the beginning of 2010 and have been in my possesion for merely a year. I never had to throw away a lipstick before, not even the cheap ones like NYX, I seriously don't understand why body shop's lipstick would turn bad so fast.....

容量：4g (0.14oz)

價錢：HKD115.00

顏色：54 Pastel Rose

我的意見：

這是我今年第３支要掉的Bodyshop唇膏，這些唇膏都是於2010年初所買的。小妹從未試過要掉唇膏，就算如NYX那些便宜貨也沒試過變壞，真的不明為何Bodyshop會那麼快變壞.....

Contents: 3.5g

Price: HKD52

My Opinion:

I've got really pigmented lips, and was never able to wear nudes or light pink, but since I've discovered this little gem, I've finally got the chance to see the real colors of the lippies on my lips.

Apart from evening out the natural colors of my lips, this concealer is actually very moisturing, and it covers some of the lip lines as well. I've checked out the packaging and found out that it has coconut oil and macadamia nut oil listed as ingredients.

顏色： 01
容量： 3.5g

價錢：HKD52

我的意見：
小妹的唇色很深，所以有很多的唇膏顏色也用不到（如深粉紅或祼色），但自從發現了這個寶貝後，現在什麼顏色也可以用。

除了均勻了本身的唇色外，這個產品還非常潤，可以遮蓋到部份唇紋。

Physiogel AI Cream

According to Physiogel webpage:

Using innovative high tech methods, a unique Derma Membrane Structure (DMS) and Palmitoylethanolamine (PEA) base of AI cream is obtained.

Helps protect skin from free radicals
Regenerates skin protective barrier
Helps relieve redness in dry, sensitive skin
Non-comedogenic

What are free radicals?

the skin damaging process is largely caused by the presence of free radicals.
free radicals are associated with common skin problems like redness, itch, dryness and also play a part in the skin's aging.
Topical application of Physiogel AI cream helps offer skin protection from free radicals

My Opinion:

I've recently had an allergy reaction with a skin care product that I've used (Bio-essence Tanaka White Skin White Perfectiong Stretch Mask), and was left with really irritated skin.

My skin was really red and itchy, so I've decided to use this product for the evening, and my skin has actually calm down when I woke up in the the next morning. Since then, I've been using this twice a day until I was sure that my skin was back to normal.

I don't really like using this as a day cream, because it is just too rich for my taste, but It works amazing as a night cream. I think I might consider getting the lotion for the day.

我的意見：
早前用錯了護膚品弄到皮膚變得又紅又癢，當時決定用這支修護霜看看有沒有功效，用後第二天早上發現皮膚已經平靜下來，不再紅。其後一直早晚使用這個面霜，直至皮膚不再敏感。

現在小妹只會於晚上使用這個面霜，因為早上使用覺得太潤，但晚上使用就ＯＫ。

Shower: Rub a small amount onto wet skin. Rinse lightly & pat dry.

Suitable for

Suitable for Eczema; Dry, sensitive skin.
Allergy screened, suitable for infant and children’s skin.

My Opinion:

I got this mainly because I've wanted a moisturizing shower gel, but this product was really unexpected, and I've really hated it. I've never used the word hate on any shower products before, and that's because I'm not usually fussy with shower products, but this was really something very different from what I'm used to.

This comes out as a clear liquid that once mixed with water it turns into a milky white, when you apply it to your body it feels like a moisturizing oil. It does not lather and after I rinse it off with water, you would still feel the product in your body and I don't feel clean. I think this is just personal, but I prefer a shower gel that lathers.

我的意見：

選Oilatum是因為想買一瓶比較潤的沐浴乳，但這支沐浴乳真的和我平日用開的沐浴產品完全不同。這支沐浴乳是透明水狀的，當與水混合後會變成白色，完全不起泡，塗後身體會覺得很潤，很沖洗後會發現產品好像還停留在身體上，個人認為使用這個產品沐浴後，身體還不夠乾淨。

Ingredients: Talc, Mica, Mineral Oil (Paraffinum Liquidum), Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Polybutene, Dimethicone, Silica, Petrolatum, Lanolin, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Tocopheryl Acetate

My Opinion:

I don't usually wear dark color blushes, but since I've started to use Benefit Dallas, I felt in love with mauvey/dusty rose blushes, and started to collect these shades.

I've got this from my local grocery store and left it at the bottom of my drawer forgotten. This has been rediscovered and I've started to use it more than usual. The shade is beautiful, but it takes some work to apply it, because it is very pigmented and kind of hard to blend. I apply it with a skunk brush and sometimes it goes on very blotchy and I really have to blend it out, but once I get the right intensity it stays that way all day.

我的意見：

我不太喜歡深色的胭脂，但自從開始用了Benefit Dallas後就愛上了紫色及玫瑰色等比較深的胭脂。

這個胭脂於超市內購買的（非常便宜），而且顏色還很美，但就不容易塗，因為好深色所以要blend很久才均勻，但blend好後不會脫色。

Contents: 5 sheets
Price: HKD119.00

According to Bio-essence webpage:

Skin White Perfecting Stretch Mask

Contains unique herbal whitening ingredients infused in a unique stretchable mask.

Marvelous Efficacies:

Rapidly penetrates skin for better absorption of nutrients and moisture so that skin is kept fair and supple.
Tightens pores, increases elasticity and firms skin while soothing skin from daily stress and fatigue.
Lightens wrinkles and fine lines
Improves cell renewal so that skin is supple, smooth and more radiant
Unique stretchable material that allows for better and a snug fit as the mask stretches to fit each individual face contour so that it does not slip off easily.This ensures better absorption of nutrients as the mask stays firmly on face. Skin also feels firm and lifted after use.

Directions:

Place mask over a throughly cleansed face, starting with the forehead first then stretch it to fit your face. After ensuring that mask fits face, relax for 20-30mins. Remove mask and massage excess fluid onto face. Do not wash face after removing mask. For best results, use 3-4 times a week.

My Opinion:

Although 1 box contains 5 sheets of masks, I've only try it once and the whole box went straight to the bin. The first thing that I've disliked about it was it's shape, it comes in a circle that doesn't fit my face at all. Apart from the shape, I've hated it because I've used it for about 20 minutes, and when I took it off, my face started to feel itchy and red bumps were starting to develop, I had to wash my face immediately. The final reason for tossing it, was because I had a huge acne on my face in the next morning....

我的意見：

雖然一盒面膜有５片，但小妹只用了一片就整盒掉了........

一打開張面膜發現是圓形的，完全不貼面，敷了20分鐘後塊面變得很癢而且還出紅點，要馬上洗面。最難受的是第二天早上起來的時候發現面上長了粒大豆.......

According to the package:

Helps retain moisture and adds strength and resiliency for more beautiful nails.

Ingredients: Acetone, Aqua (Water), Parfum (Fragrance), D&C Red No.33 (CI 17200)

My Opinion:
I'm not too choosy with nail polish remover, but have been using this product for over a year, mainly because it has a strawberry scent. It smells like acetone mix with strawberry, I hate the scent of acetone, therefore this product makes removing polish alot more bearable.

容量： 200ml or 6.76 fl oz
價錢：HKD15.00

我的意見：

雖然小妹對洗甲水沒什麼要求，但於過去一年就一直在使用這個品牌的洗甲水，那是因為我不太喜歡洗甲水的味道，而這款洗甲水就添加了草莓的香味。雖然還是會聞道一般的洗甲水味，但就沒有那麼濃烈。

Asience Shine Therapy Shampoo

According to Asience's webpage:

Enhanced Asian Beauty Essences plus Soybean, its ultra repairing formula is suitable for damaged, dull and brittle coloured, permed or rebonded hair. Result? Hair regains its strength and shine, becoming resistant to breakage and spilt ends.

Ingredients:

Asian Energy Formula: Pearl (repair), Camellia, Ginseng Root Extract (hydrate), Alpinia Extract (smooth), Aloe Extract (protect)
Soy Bean Extract

My Opinion:

Although Asience shampoo has been around forever, this is actually my first bottle, because I've been biased by the comercials, and was expecting something with a strong asian herbs scent, which I'll avoid at all cost.

I've only recently found out that it actually has a floral scent, and I've decided to give it a go. This is a very nourishing shampoo that did not weight down my hair (unusual), since most of the other richer shampoos that I've tried tend to weight down my hair.

Whenever I use this shampoo I can skip my usual intensive hair treatment, and just use a normal conditioner. If you have been following my blog you would know that I do not use conditioner, my hair is so badly damage that no conditioner will leave my hair manageable, and i always have to use intensive hair treatment as a hair conditioner.

I would recommend this shampoo to anyone with really dry hair.

配方特別加入大豆精華，加倍修復受損髮絲
散發清雅花果芳香

我的意見：

這是小妹的第一支Asience洗頭水，那是因為小妹非常厭惡中藥味，一直唔以為這個使用漢方的品牌會有好重的中藥味（如雪花秀），誰知小妹近期才發現原來這個洗頭水是花香味的...

小妹的頭髮很乾，每天都要把深層髮膜當護髮素使用，但用了這支洗頭水之後，終於可以只用普通的護髮素，因為這支洗頭水真的很潤，不錯。

My Opinion:

This shower gel smells AMAZING, if you like the scent of berries, you are going to love it, because this is exactly what it smells like, a bunch of berries.

Apart from the scent I did not notice anything oustanding from this shower gel, it cleanses without being too dry or hydrating, is just your average shower gel.

容量： 250ml

香味：Sex on the Beach
價錢：HKD38.00

我的意見：

這支沐浴露非常之香，如果你喜歡莓子的味道（如紅莓或藍莓），那你一定會非常喜歡這支沐浴露，但除了香味以外，這未沐浴露真的沒有什麼特別。

My Opinion:

This review is for the face cream, that I have been using it for the last 2 months as a night cream, I have to admit that I've really liked it, and according to my previous reviews, I have never been a fan of L'oreal skin care products, and I was really surprised that I've actually liked this face cream.

Although it has a cream texture, it absorbs really fast and it did not leave my face oily, but since I've got combo skin leaning to the oily side, I've decided to use this product only at night. I've noticed that my skin looks alot better after using it, my skin actually looks brighter and tighter.

This is definetly going to be my favorite summer night cream, but since the weather has started to changed, I've noticed that it's not providing enough hydration, and I had to add a serum before this product.

容量：

Day - 50 ml
Eyes - 15 ml

價錢：HKD 280.00

我的意見：

於過去兩個月，我每天晚上都有用這瓶面霜，雖然這是一瓶日霜，但由於我的皮膚比較油，所以只會於晚間使用。這瓶面霜的質地好輕，很快便能讓皮膚吸取，所以如果不是油性皮膚，應該可以於日間使用。

其實一直都不太喜歡L'oreal的護膚品，但這瓶面霜真的令我開始對這個品牌改觀。用了這瓶面霜後，發現皮膚明顯變得有光澤和單性。

雖然很喜歡這瓶面霜，但近期天氣開始轉乾，這瓶面霜的保濕功效開始不足，要加精華素。

NUXE Micelar Cleansing Water with 3 roses

2011-11-08T00:00:00.000-08:00

Contents: 200ml

Price: HKD153.00

According to NUXE's webpage:

Description:

Effective by nature

In a single step, this alcohol-free, fragrance-free Micellar Cleansing Water eliminates all the impurities from the face and eyes.

Precious benefits for my skin

A fresh texture and delicate Floral Water fragrance for perfectly cleansed face and eyes, with that leaves your skin soft and toned.

Star active ingredients

This micellar cleansing water soothes and softens

Advice:

My skincare ritual

Apply Micellar Cleansing Water with 3 Roses to your face and eyes in the morning and/or evening using a cotton pad. No need to rinse.

My Beauty Tips

To revive puffy eyes, dab them with cotton pads soaked in refrigerated Micellar Cleansing Water with 3 Roses.

Ingredients: AQUA/WATER, BUTYLENE GLYCOL, POLYSORBATE 20, POLOXAMER 184, SODIUM CHLORIDE, DISODIUM PHOSPHATE, ALLANTOIN, BENZYL ALCOHOL, CETRIMONIUM BROMIDE, CITRIC ACID, CHLORHEXIDINE DIGLUCONATE, POTASSIUM SORBATE, SODIUM BENZOATE, ROSA DAMASCENA FLOWER OIL, CAMELLIA SINENSIS LEAF EXTRACT, BHT, ROSA ALBA FLOWER EXTRACT, ROSA HYBRID FLOWER EXTRACT, CITRONELLOL [N0501/E].

My Opinion:

I've tried using this product to remove my makeup, and I always need to wash my face again with a cleanser, because it doesn't removes everything. I've tried using it as a toner, and it left my face sticky and I had to rinse it off with water. The only purpose I found with this product was to pair it with my Hitachi Face Crie for deep cleansing.

I wouldn't pay for this product, but since I've got several X'mas pack last year from NUXE, and they all seems to have this product in their packages, I'm stuck with several bottles which I'll still try to finish it off.

容量：200ml

價錢：HKD153.00

我的意見：

我試過用這支潔面水來卸妝，但卸完還是要再洗面，因為卸得不夠乾淨。試過用作爽膚水，但用後塊面變得好黏，一定要再過水。最後發現這個產品的唯一用途就是和Hitachi Face Crie一同

用來作深層潔面。

我還有幾支這個品牌的潔膚水，但那是因為我買了幾set這個品牌的護膚品，而每盒都有一支潔膚水。我會儘力用完這些潔膚水，但就不會再買。

Boots Botanics 3 Minute Deep Contidioning Hair Mask

2011-11-07T00:00:00.000-08:00

Contents: 450ml
Price: Baht379.00 (BOGO) - purchased from Thailand

According to Boot's Webpage:

Brushing, styling and environmental pollutants can damage your hair. This intensely hydrating 3 minute mask conditions where it's needed most, to leave hair shiny and strengthened with added protection from environmental damage. Rice Bran Protein conditions Grapeseed oil hydrates Dermatologically tested Rice Bran Protein: This extract contains high levels of protein which can bind moisture onto the hair surface.

Ingredients: Aqua, Cetyl Alcohol, Cocamide MEA, Stearamidopropyl Dimethylamine, Phenoxyethanol, Cetrimonium Chloride, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Butyrospermum parkii butter, Panthenol, Lactid Acid, Parfum, Benzophenone-4, Propylene glycol, Vitis vinifera seed oil, Dipropylene glycol, Hydrolized rice protein, Vitis vintera extract, Citric acid, Methylparaben, Sodium benzoate, Propylparaben

My Opinion:

Got this from Thailand this summer and found it too heavy for the summer days, it left my hair oilier than usual and I've stopped using it. Since the climate is dryer now, I've started to use it again and love it, it gives my hair the right amount of nourishment, and it volumize as well. I've noticed that it is easier to style my hair after using this product, and the curls just looks bouncier.

Please note that this hair mask texture is very goopy, and you don't need much for each application.

容量：450ml
價錢：379珠兩瓶（買一送一）

我的意見：

這瓶髮膜於今年夏天購自泰國，可惜於夏天使用頭髮好快就變得很油，所以沒有再用。近期天氣變得有點兒乾燥，所以又再拿出來用，今次用後非常之滿意，頭髮好潤但不油，曲髮變得好有單性。唯一不喜歡這個髮膜的是其質地，黏糊狀。

大家要注意使用份量不要太多，比平日用開的髮膜份量小一半就夠，因為這個髮膜真的非常之潤，用太多頭髮會變油。

Roc Demaquillage Actif Cleansing Milk

2011-11-06T00:00:00.000-07:00

Contents: 200ml
Price: HKD180.00

According to the package:

This RoC cleansing lotion deeply cleanse your skin to thoroughly remove all traces of make-up. It unblocks the pores so that your skin can breath freely. It contains moisturisers and preserves the natural hydrolipidic balance of normal and combination skin.

Ingredients: Aqua, Cetearyl, Ethylhexanoate, PEG-20, Methyl Glucose Sesquistearate, Propylene Glycol, Glycerin, PEG-8, Isopropyl Myristate, Methyl Glucose Sesquistearate, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Ammonium Hydroxide, Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Propylparaben.

My Opinion:

I don't know if this cleanser is only available in Asia, because I've only found it in the HK RoC webpage and couldn't locate it in the US webpage.

Back to the product, it claims to be a makeup remover, but it doesn't really removes makeup, so I've only been using it as a facial cleanser, it is very mild and i've noticed that it actually gets absorb into the skin and it leaves my skin very soft.

根據ROC網頁：

水柔滋潤潔面乳

溫和潔面卸除深層污垢及各式彩妝，讓毛孔暢通淨緻。配合保濕成分，讓敏感缺水肌膚回復至水油平衡的健康狀態。

我的意見：
雖然產品說明指出這是一支卸妝乳，但小妹用後發現根本卸不到妝，只能用作潔面乳。如果只用作潔面效果還算不錯，因為用後皮膚不會乾，好像搽了潤膚霜，皮膚還會變得好軟。

2011-11-05T05:55:00.000-07:00

Contents: 5 pairs per box

According to Oslee's webpage:

Patent ingredient - Eyeseryl^®

Eyeseryl - reduce dark circles and undereye bags
Matrixyl - Minimize fine lines and puffiness
Licorice Extract - Anti-oxidant, anti aging
Lipomoist - 2036 - Moisturizing, promotes healthy skin cells around eye area

My Opinion:

I love the shape of this eye mask, it covers the whole eye area, but i did not find it very moisturizing, but that might be because I've got super dry under eye area. I found that the mosturizing effect seems to be intensified by adding a drop of hyaluronic acid underneath my eyes before applying this mask.

價錢： HKD110.00

根據O'slee網頁：

我的意見：

我幾喜歡這個眼膜的型狀，能覆蓋到整個眼部，可惜保濕功效只屬一般，但亦可能因為小妹的雙眼真的太乾....

如果想加強保濕功效，可以先搽一滴透明質酸後才敷眼膜。

4. Mandom Lucidol Designing Tube Hair Cream Moist (HK$39.90) - I've just noticed that I've never reviewed about this product, so I might as well tell you about my opinion. I've initially hated this product, because it has a really thick cream texture that weights down my hair and left it sticky. However, I've recently been to Guam and this seems to work really well with the weather there, my hair had never look better, I was glad that I took this with me during my holiday, and I've finally finished it, without wasting anything.

Dejavu Tiny Sniper

2011-10-30T02:50:00.000-07:00

Price: HKD88.00
Shade: Pure Black

According to Dejavu's webpage:

Features:

Lengthens even lower and corner lashes

Contains soft fibers that easily adhere even to short and thin eyelashes. The glossy black formula lengthens and defines lower and corner lashes.
The formula goes on smoothly without clumping, making your own lashes look naturally longer.
The micro-brush with the right angle for easy application and the easy-to-hold long grip lets you apply the formula to even short and thin lashes without getting any on your eyelids or around your eyes.

No more "panda eyes" all day long

With conventional mascaras (*Imju products) , a cream containing black powder dries in clumps on lashes, which loosens and causes Panda-Eyes.
With Paint-On False Lashes, the liquid forms a film and encapsulates lashes, so you get no more Panda-Eyes
The film resists rubbing, skin oils and sweat, and prevents smudging even when you use eye drops.

Easy removal with just warm water

The film dissolves in warm water so it can be easily slid off, preventing damage to your own lashes.

Ingredients: WATER, ACRYLATES/VA COPOLYMER, BEESWAX, PROPYLENE GLYCOL, COPERNICIA CERIFERA (CARNAUBA) WAX, NYLON-6, NYLON-66, PVP, STEARIC ACID, AMINOMETHYL PROPANOL, SODIUM HYDROXIDE, HYDROGENATED POLYISOBUTENE, SILICA, SORBITAN STEARATE, CETETH-20, HYDROXYETHYLCELLULOSE, HECTORITE, PENTYLENE GLYCOL, POLYSORBATE 60, PETROLATUM, PHENOXYETHANOL, METHYLPARABEN, ETHYLPARABEN, BUTYLPARABEN, TITANIUM DIOXIDE, CARBON BLACK

My Opinion:

I've already mention how much I love this mascara on my Dejavu Fiberwig review, and this is just a mini size of the original version that I mainly use on my inner corners and my bottom lashes.

價錢：HKD88.00

我的意見:

早前已說過自己有多喜歡Dejavu Fiberwig的睫毛膏，而這支Tiny Sniper只不過是Fiberwig的迷你版，非常適合用於眼角，內眼及下睫毛。

According to The Body Shop's webpage:

A luxurious, moisturizing lipstick that offers sheer colour coverage with medium colour intensity and a sheer shine finish. Available in a variety of shades to suit all skin tones, each helps to condition the lips. Dermatologically tested.

Ingredients: Ricinus Communis (Castor Seed) Oil (Emollient), Meadowfoam (Limnanthes Alba) Seed Oil (Skin Conditioning Agent), Propylene Glycol Dicaprylate/Dicaprate (Emollient), Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) Wax (Stabiliser), Synthetic Wax (Binder/Emollient), Sclerocarya Birrea (Marula) Oil (Skin Conditioning Agent), Copernica Cerifera (Carnauba) Wax (Stabiliser/Viscosity Modifier), Flavor (Flavour), Methylparaben (Preservative), Butylparaben (Preservative), Ethylparaben (Preservative), Tocopherol (Antioxidant), Isobutylparaben (Preservative), Propylparaben (Preservative). May Contain: Mica (Opacifier), Iron Oxides (Colour), Titanium Dioxide (Colour), Red 7 Lake (Colour), Red 27 Lake (Colour), Yellow 5 Lake (Colour), Red 6 Lake (Colour), Blue 1 Lake (Colour)

My Opinion:

This product has already been discontinued, they've repackage it and is now call Delipscious Sheer Lip Color. If you are interested in the shade that I have, I think it's call 01 Sheer Lychee now.

I'm not a huge fan of Body Shop's lipstick, because they turn bad really fast, I have tried my share of lip products, and have never experienced a lipstick going bad, with the exception of Body Shop.

I though that a got a bad batch when my last body shop lipstick started to smell weird, but I've only been using this lipstick for several months, and it has already started to smell weird (I think is about time to toss it), I don't think I'm going to buy anymore lipstick from this brand, but unfortunately I've still got a few in my possession....

容量： 2.1g (0.07 oz)
顏色： 01 Pink
價錢：HKD115.00

根據Body Shop 網頁：

幻彩果香唇膏蘊含全天然可食用材料及100%植物成份，包括豐富的藍莓籽油及石榴籽油，散發多種甜美果香香氣。質感柔軟幼滑，性質極致溫和，具備高效滋養的護唇功效。

我的意見：

小妹用過無數支唇膏，除了Body Shop 以外，從未試過未用完就已經變壞....

起初還以為買了支有問題的唇膏，但這支已經是第二支有問題的唇膏，只用了數用就開始有怪味。我想我不會再買Body Shop的唇膏，但不幸的是小妹仍有幾支未開......

Aqualabel White AC Essence VC

2011-10-24T00:00:00.000-07:00

Contents: 30ml
Price: HKD130

According to Aqualabel's webpage:

White AC Essence inhibits excessive sebum and melanin with an extra dose of winter begonia and multiple effective ingredients. Also giving you results of deep whitening, preventing acne and fading acne marks.

Hyaluronic Acid

Rich Dose of Winter Begonia

Lasting Stable Vitamin C Derivative

Collagen

Vitamin B6

Lipidure®

Dipotassium Glycyrrhizinate

My Opinion:

When I saw this in the store, I though that it was too good to be true, 3 effects (hydrating, whitening and anti acne) in a bottle, if it really works that I must have found a treasure.

I've nearly finish my bottle, and I seriously did not notice any improvement on my skin, but at least it didn't break me out.....

In terms of hydration, I think Aqua Label Moist Essence GG works better, but this product has a very watery texture, and I'd prefer to use this during the summer or perhaps if you have oily skin you might want to try this.

容量：30ml
價錢： HKD130

根據Aqualabel網頁：

清荳美白精華素

大量添加冬季秋海棠精華，並結合多種有效成分，抑制多餘皮脂分泌及防止黑色素形成，深層美白肌膚，預防荳荳產生並淡化荳印。

透明質酸

大量冬季秋海棠

持續性維他命C誘導體

骨膠原

維他命B6

Lipidure雙重脂質鎖水配方

甘草酸鹽

我的意見：
最初於店內見到這瓶精華素還以為自己發現寶藏，一瓶精華素有３種功效而且更不用HKD200，實在太便宜。

可惜用了差不多一瓶後，並沒有發現皮膚有什麼改善....

說回這瓶精華素，其質地非常之水，但保濕效果不及Aqua Label Moist Essence GG，但個人認為這瓶比較適合夏天或油性皮膚使用。

Dr. Morita Natural Sponge Cucumber Water

2011-10-23T00:00:00.000-07:00

Contents: 60ml / 150ml

Price: HKD12.00 / HKD23.00

Ingredients: Water, Pentylene, Glycol, EDTA, Isothiazolinones, Fragrance.

My Opinion:

I've been spraying this all over my face before my skincare, because it seems that my skincare products absorbs faster on a damp face.

In my opinion this is just a slightly scented (cucumber scent) water in a bottle, which I happen to like the scent and since it was so cheap I went back an got a big bottle.

容量： 60ml / 150ml

價錢：HKD12.00 / HKD23.00

根據森田藥粧網頁：

描述：

◆ 由天然絲瓜莖採擷而成的絲瓜萃取液，具強效保濕、清新舒緩及柔敏功效，舒緩緊繃乾燥的肌膚。
◆ 不黏膩的天然保濕成份能補充肌膚必要的水份及濕潤感，適合每日重覆使用，並可明顯有效的改善乾燥、缺水的肌膚

※ 使用方式：清潔後直接噴於臉部即可

我的意見：

其實這只是一支有香味的水（青瓜味），而小妺一向都習慣先噴濕塊面後才搽護膚品，這樣的做法會令護膚品吸收得比較快，所以就買了這支絲瓜水來用。

According to Milani's webpage:

A bronzing powder that features a mélange infusion of colors baked on Italian terracota tiles. Easy to use, sensorial in texture, the nuances of color become extraordinarily luminous, enhancing the purity of the skin. This hi-tech, streak free bronzer, gives you a perfect radiant look.

Available in 3 Shimmer shades

Tips and Tricks: Glide brush over color and lightly tap off excess powder. Lightly apply to cheeks, forehead, chin and/or nose and blend well for a sun-kissed look. To use wet (only for shimmer shades), lightly put water on brush and glide brush over color, then apply to cheeks, forehead, chin and/or nose.

Ingredients: Talc, Mica (CI 77019), Dimethicone, Octyldodecyl Stearoyl Stearate, Polysorbate 20, Magnesium Aluminum Silicate, Phenoxyethanol, Sodium Dehydroacetate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Cetearyl Ethylhexanoate, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Acrylamide/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Isohexadecane, Polysorbate 80, Sorbitan Stearate, Zea Mays (Corn) Starch. May Contain: Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Iron Oxides (CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499), Ultramarines (CI 77007), Chromium Oxide Greens (CI 77288), Chromium Hydroxide Green (CI 77289), Ferric Ferrocyanide (CI 77510), Yellow 5 Lake (CI 19140), Manganese Violet (CI 77742), Red 6 (CI 15850), Red 7 (CI 15850).

My Opinion:

When I've first seen this bronzer, I though that it'll be a good dupe for my favorite Body Shop Bronzing Powder, which has been discontinued in HK. The Milani bronzer swatched beautifully on my hands, but when I apply it on my cheeks it's just too dark, and the shimmers seems to emphasis my pores..... Should I try a lighter shade or just forget about it????

我的意見：

第一次見到這個修容陰影粉時便想起我最喜歡的Body Shop Bronzing Powder（己停產）, 試上手時個色真的很美，可惜於面上顏色太深，而且還很閃，令到毛孔變得更明顯.....我是不應該買淺一個色還是放棄它???

Brand's InnerShine Berry Essence with Grape Seed Extract

2011-10-06T00:00:00.000-07:00

Contents: 6 bottles per box (each bottle contains 50ml)

Price: HKD198 for 2 box

According to Brand's Webpage:

What is OPC?

Grape seed extract contains Oligomeric Proanthocyanidin Complexes (OPCs), which are active ingredients that help strengthen your skin collagen and reduce the loss of elastin - the protein that keeps skin firm. Together with powerful Antioxidants and Anthocyanins from the berries extract, it provides natural goodness for the skin.

OPC is nature's super Antioxidant 20 times more powerful than Vitamin C and 50 times more powerful than Vitamin E.

*Scientific References:

1. Oligomeric Proanthocyanidin, OPCs: Introduction and Its Benefit Applications.

Where does it come from?

1 pound of OPC is extracted from 1000 pounds of grape seed, making it extremely precious.

What does it do?

OPC locks and strengthens skins collagen to keep it firm and combat free radical damage to delay ageing and help body as well as skin stay young.

Ingredients: Water, Aronia (Chokeberry) juice concentrate, Sweetener (Fructose, Trehalose), Thickener (Maltodextrin), Blackcurrant juice concentrate, Cranberry juice concentrate, Blueberry juice concentrate, Flavour enhancer, Grape Seed Extract.

My Opinion:

I've got 4 boxes of this and already finished 3 boxes. This stuff taste delicious, just like Ribena (blackcurrent juice), but apart from tasting good it did nothing to my skin, as I did not notice any changes at all. I think it'll be cheaper to drink Ribena rather than this....

小妹於特價時買了4盒，已經飲了３盒，覺得這個活顏馥莓飲非常之好味，味道好象利賓納，但除了味道好之外，並沒有發現皮膚有任可改變，所以我還是會選擇飲利賓納，起碼價錢比較便宜....

2011-10-05T00:00:00.000-07:00

Contents: 135ml

Price: HKD215.00

According to Skin Food's Webpage:

A lightweight, refreshing moisturizing emulsion that contains lettuce and cucumber extracts.
It hydrates skin, keeping it clear.

* Use:

After essence, apply emulsion and rub gently with palms to absorb.

Ingredients: WATER, PROPYLENE GLYCOL, GLYCERIN, ALCOHOL, CYCLOMETHICONE, ISOSTEARYL NEOPENTANOATE, BIS-PEG-18, METHYL ETHER DIMETHYL SILANE, CUCUMIS SATIVUS (CUCUMBER) FRUIT EXTRACT, C14-22 ALCOHOLS, C12-20 ALKYL GLUCOSIDE, GLYCOL STEARATESE, BETA-GLUCAN, LACTUCA SCARIOLA SATIVA (LETTUCE) LEAF EXTRACT, BUTYLENE GLYCOL, CETEARYL ALCOHOL, STEARIC ACID, HYDROGENATED LECITHIN, METHICONE, STEARYL GLYCYRRHETINATE, ARGANIA SPINOSA KERNEL EXTRACT, SERENOA SERRULATA FRUIT EXTRACT, SESAMUM INDICUM (SESAME) SEED EXTRACT, DIMETHICONE/VINYL DIMETHICONE CROSSPOLYMER, VIOLA TRICOLOR EXTRACT, TOCOPHERYL ACETATE, ALLANTOIN, STEARYL GLYCYRRHETINATE, DISODIUM EDTA, IMIDAZOLIDYNYL UREA, METHYLPARABEN, CI 42090, CI 15985, PARFUM.

My Opinion:

I've got this from my sister in law, so before I start with my review, I think I should thank her first " Thanks Janet" .

Now back to the product, I have never been a fan of emulsion, because I find that it takes ages to be absorbed by my skin, and this skin food emulsion was not an exception, it takes at least 2-3 minutes before it's fully absorbed.

I've been using this emulsion for the whole summer, and I'm nearly finishing the bottle, and although it takes ages to be absorbed, I was actually very satisfy with it, it provides the right amount of moisturise without leaving my face oily, it didn't break me out and it works well under sunscreen and makeup.

生菜清瓜水樣清爽乳液

容量：135ml

價錢：HKD215.00

根據Skin Food 網頁：

質地輕盈清新，為肌膚增添水潤感覺，能阻止水份流失及舒緩肌膚繃緊情況；維他命A及C亦可更新肌膚，令肌膚倍添亮澤，有助維持肌膚健康。

用法：早晚使用爽膚水後，取適量由內而外均勻塗抹於全臉並以掌心輕壓至吸收為止。

我的意見：

開始說明我的意見前要先向我的家姐說聲謝謝，由為這件產品是她去韓國旅行時買給我的，所以謝謝圓姐！

說回這件產品，其實小妹一直對乳液都無乜好感，因為通尚乳液都要等很久才會被皮膚完全吸收，而這支乳液亦不例外，起碼要等2-3分鐘才會被皮膚完全吸收。

自夏天開始至今小妹都一直在使用這瓶乳液，也差不多用完，除需要較長的吸收時間外，小妹對這支乳液都幾滿意，因為它能提供適當的保濕，又不會粒又沒有出粒粒，而且用於防曬及化妝品下亦無問題。

Boots Ingredients Avocado & Macadamia Intensive Hair Treatment

2011-10-04T00:00:00.000-07:00

Contents: 400ml (13.5 us fl oz)
Price: Baht 125

According to Boots webpage:

With natural extracts of Avocado & Macadamia, Boots Ingredients Intensive Hair Treatment is specially formulated to condition and tame fine, fly away hair, adding volume. Also helps protect against split ends, whilst leaving hair full of body and shine.

Directions: Smooth Intensive Hair Treatment through hair after shampooing. For best results, leave for 5 minutes and rinse thoroughly.

Ingredients: Aqua, Cetyl alcohol, Stearyl alcohol, Glycerin, Cetrimonium choride, Dimethicone, Cocamide MEA, Behentrimonium methosulfate, Behentrimonium chloride, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Parfum, Methylparaben, Tocopheryl acetate, Polyquaternium-10, Persea gratissima (avocado) oil, Macadamia ternifolia (macadamia) seed oil, Lactid acid, Guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride, Disodium EDTA, Octyldodecanol, Methylisothiazolinone, Tris (tetramethylhydroxypiperidinol) citrate, benzotriazolyl dodecyl p-cresol, Hydrogenated coco glycerides, Helianthis annuus (sunflower) seed extract.

My Opinion:

I've mentioned before that I love Boots Coconut and Almond Intensive Hair Treatment before, but I found this to be too heavy for the summer days, so I've switch to Avocado & Macadamia, and I like this even better, because it hydrates my hair and it gives volume as well, great for the summer days and it smells amazing.

I've recently noticed that whenever I visit Thailand I always bring back a bunch of hair care product, and they are just amazing.

容量： 400ml (13.5 us fl oz)
價錢：Baht 125

我的意見：

早前小妹曾經寫過一編文章關於Boots Ingredients Coconut & Almond Intensive Hair Treatment，而小妹亦曾表示很喜歡這個髮膜。可惜於夏天使用這個椰子髮膜好像太潤，所以小妹轉了用這個牛油果髮膜，這個髮膜非常之適合夏天使用，用後頭髮不會粒，而且重好有彈性。

小妹大部份的髮膜都購自泰國，因為泰國實在太多選擇而且價錢還很便宜，所以每年去旅行都一定會買很多。

Clean & Clear Morning Burst In-Shower Facial

2011-10-03T00:00:00.000-07:00

Contents: 4 oz (114g)

Price: US$7.99

According to Clean and Clear's Webpage:

HIGHLIGHTS

A fast facial that works with the steam from your shower
Clay helps draws out dirt, oil and impurities from skin
Contains moisturizers to help keep skin from over-drying
Use 1-3 times per week in place of normal cleanser

WHAT'S IMPORTANT

Who has time for a facial? Now anybody does with MORNING BURST® In-Shower Facial. Made with Ginseng, citrus, natural fruit extracts and purifying clay, this formula works with the steam from your shower to lift away dirt, oil and impurities that can clog pores. Micro-beads help exfoliate away dead skin cells while a combination of moisturizers help hydrate skin, leaving your face feeling clean, smooth and totally awake!

INGREDIENTS

Water, Cetearyl Alcohol, Polyethylene, PPG-15 Stearyl Ether, Glycolic Acid, Glycerin, Steareth-21, Polysorbate 60, Magnesium Aluminum Silicate, Montmorillonite, Potassium Cetyle Phosphate, Fragrance, Xanthan Gum, DMDM Hydantoin, Betaine, Methylparaben, Menthol, Sodium PCA, Sorbitol, Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate, Serine, Glycine, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Glutamic Acid, Alanine, Arginine, Lysine, Threonine, Proline, Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Fruit Extract, Zingiber Officinale (Ginger) Root Extract, Citrus Grandis (Grapefruit) Fruit Extract, Panax Ginseng Root Extract, Red 40, Yellow 5, Yellow 6. May also contain: Sodium Hydroxide

My Opinion:

This is my second tube of this product (and I'd already got a backup), the reason why I keep repurchasing, is because of it's convenience, I try to deep cleanse my face at least twice a week, but sometimes I get off from work really tired, and I don't even have the energy to pamper myself.... On those days, I'll usually use this in my shower.

During my shower, I'll lay this over my face and go on with my duties, the steam of the shower will draw out the impurities of the pores, while I'm done with everything else, I'll just slightly wet my face and massage my skin, since this product has some tiny grains in it, it'll exfoliate my skin as well. This is a really great and convenient product.

容量： 4 oz (114g)
價錢：US$7.99

我的意見：
這個產品小妹己經用了兩瓶，而且更買了第三瓶，因為這支已經差不多用完（買現再買足以證明小妹有多喜歡這支面膜）。先介紹一吓這支深層清潔面膜，產品說明指出這支面膜應於洗澡時一并使用，因為洗澡時的蒸汽能打開毛孔並把污物排出。

所以小妹通常會於洗澡前先搽上這個面膜，之後才開始洗澡，洗完後會取小小水於面上按摩，因為這個面膜有小許粒子，所以可以同時去死皮。一般情況下小妺都會一星期做兩次深層潔面，可惜很多時小妹放工後已經很疲勞，連做面膜的力都無，於這個時候一定會用這支面膜。

Contents: 50ml (1.69 fl oz)

Price: HK$200.00 (I got this in a set)

CETYL ALCOHOL

CAPRYLYL GLYCOL

PARFUM / FRAGRANCE

My Opinion:

I've got this in a set, which was a pretty good deal, but will I buy this again on it's own? well I don't think so, because it does nothing other than hydrates, and I'm kind of greedy in terms of skincare products and I would expect a bit more.

Although I got the light version I still find it kind of too heavy for the summer days, but since we are officially in autumn now, I got this out of the drawer and wanted to try it again.

This is slightly scented, and it's absorbed into the skin fairly fast, I will say that this is a fairly good hydrating lotion.

容量： 50ml (1.69 fl oz)

價錢： HK$200.00 （這是套裝價錢）

根據La Roche Posay's 網頁：

效能

長效保濕：8小時後保濕48%增長

我的意見：
這是去年聖誕節所買的套裝，用完應該唔會再買，因為這個產品只有一個功效，就是保濕，但小妹對護膚品的要求比較高和貪心，得一個功效已經無法滿足小妹的要求。

雖然小妺買了清爽配方，但其實這個乳霜都幾潤，而小妹屬於油性皮膚，所以無法於夏天使用。這個乳霜有小小香味，吸收時間常算快，算是一個不錯的保濕孔液。

i Firm 15s Wrinkless

2011-09-25T00:00:00.000-07:00

Contents: 5ml (0.169 fl oz)
Price: HKD299

According to niksun's webpage:

Product Characteristics: Gently textured product special formulated for anti-aging skin, promotes metabolism and protect lipid membrane against dehydration

Skin Problems: Wrinkles and; Finelines (Reduces wrinkles and smoothes away fine lines)

Benefits: With high technology wrinkles and fine lines reducing formula, the extremely high-performance product fights against wrinkles and pores, smoothes your skin in 15 seconds. Continuing use will help to reduce the wrinkles effectively and prolong the aging-skin.

Ingredients: Aqua, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5, Palmitoyl Oligopeptide, Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, Phenoxy Ethanol, Marine Peptides, Butyrospermum Parkii (shea butter), Squalene, Organic Silicon, Tocopheryl Acetate, Glycine Soja Seed Extract, Polydimethyl Siloxane, 2-Phenoxyethanol, 4.2-Dibromo-2, Methyisothiazolinone, Phenoxyethanol, Butylparaben.

My Opinion:

You are suppose to apply this product after your skincare and before your makeup, if you are familiar with Tri-Aktiline Instant Deep Wrinkle Filler, they work in the same way.

The only difference that I've noticed is that it's easier to work with i Firm, since you can rub in your concealer afterwards, while with Tri-Aktiline, everything on top of it has to be patted in (no rubbing, otherwise it'll look cakey).

Although it's easier to work with i Firm, I will definetly stick with Tri-Aktiline, because i Firm comes in a tiny 5ml bottle, which considering the price it is really expensive, especially since I have never heard of this brand before.

容量： 5ml (0.169 fl oz)
價錢： HKD299

根據niksun網頁：

15s去皺精華

產品特性：採用光學柔焦科技及多重去皺成份製作而成，能強化肌膚對老化皺紋的防禦力，細緻毛孔並平滑膚質；內含成份亦能促進皮膚新陳代謝，加強皮膚的天然保護層-水脂膜，防止水份流失；能有效對抗自由基，抵抗各種傷害，延緩皮膚老化。

針對肌膚問題：面部皺紋肌膚

功效：蘊含多種權威抗皺元素，能瞬間減退皺紋、細緻毛孔、撫平肌膚，只需15秒，肌膚立即回復光滑柔嫩。i-Firm 15s去皺精華更含有跟人類微量原素十分相似的海洋複合多胜肽微粒粉末，利用生物技術將小分子化成為更能深入皮膚的多元胜肽，連續使用，能有效促進纖維組織的更生，擊退皺紋及減少新幼紋產生，使皮膚回復光滑有彈性，延緩皮膚老化。

產品主要成份：海洋複合多胜肽、三元胜肽、維他命A酯、寡胜肽、水解小麥蛋白

我的意見：

如果大家有用過Tri-Aktiline Instant Deep Wrinkle Filler，其實兩者的功效都差不多，能即時塡平皺紋，但小妺認為i-Firm比較好用，因為i-Firm乾了之後怎樣擦都可以，但Tri-Aktiline乾了以後都不能擦只可以按，再塗遮瑕膏亦只能按不能擦否則就會出紋。

雖然i-Firm比較好用，但小妹仍會繼續使用Tri-Aktiline，因為一瓶i-Firm只得5ml，其實都幾貴，而且個品牌又從未聽過，還是用回大品牌比較有保障。
