Revlon Professional Interactives Hydra Rescue Repair




Contents: 450ml
Price: HK$320.00

According to the package:
 
Hydra Rescue:
Hydro-nutritive treatments
 
Dry and sensitized hair has a hydrolipidic deficit which makes it more vulnerable to external agressions (solar radiation, agressive or unsuitable technical processes, drying, etc.) It is fragile and rough, with split ends and is difficult to detangle.
 
Solution: Hydra rescue repair is a profound hydration care which on application of heat permits the internal restructuring, hydration and disciplining of very dry and damaged capillary fiber.
 
Technology:
  1. Innovation: the hydra capture system moisturizes hair at its core and reinforces its structure against aggressions, preventing breakage.
  2. Thermo-active technology melts the jojoba particles and closes the cuticles, trapping nutrients inside the hair.
  3. Its formula with vitamins A, E and B5 protects the fiber and imparts immediated softness and shine.
Benefits:Spectaculare results after a single application: The hair is profoundly moisturized, its structure is reinforced against aggressions, and it has the shine and softness of hair in good condition.
 
Professional Application:
  1. Wash Hair with Hydra Rescue Shampoo and rinse copiously.
  2. Eliminated excess water with a towel.
  3. At the dressing table, divide the hair into approximately twelve parts.
  4. Using a brush, apply the product section by section on middle and ends.
  5. Wrap each section in colorless aluminum foil.
  6. Apply the iron at 100-130º, lock by lock, to seal the cuticle.
  7. Leave hair to cool for 5 minutes.
  8. Rinse Copiously with water
Ingredients: Aqua (water), Glycerin, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Hydroxypropyl Starch Phosphate, Isopropyl Palmitate, Dicetyldimonium Chloride, Cetearyl Alcohol, Cetyl Esters, Stearamidopropyl Dimethylamine, Behentrimonium Chloride, Betaine, Polyglyceryl-3 Distearate, Creatine, Jojoba Esters, Quaternium-70, Himanthalia Elongata Extract, Panthenol, Cetrimonium Chloride, Aminopropyl Phenyl Trimethicone, Wheat Amino Acids, Aesculus Hippocastanum (Horse Chestnut) Seed Extract, Tocopherol, Biotin, Inositol, Linolenic Acid, Retinyl Palmitate, Sodium Hyaluronate, Isopropyl Alcohol, Butylene Glycol, Benzophenone-3, Propylene Glycol, Polysorbate 20, Sodium Choride, Citric Acid, Disodium EDTA, BHT, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Parfum (fragrance), Citronellol, Geraniol, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Dizaolidinyl Urea, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, CI 77492 (Iron Oxides), CI 77499 (Iron Oxides), CI 77491 (Iron Oxides), CI 15510 (Orange 4), CI 19140 (Yellow5)
 
My Opinion:
 
I've been using this product for nearly a month, and finally when I was ready to write this review, came to realize that I've been using it wrongly.
 
I was told by the sales lady to use it like a hair mask, i.e. wash your hair and leave it on for 5 minutes and rinse off. By following her instruction, this product did nothing to my hair apart from leaving it greasy.

When I've started to google about this product, I've  finally realize that I've been using it wrongly, this is a heat activated product and the tiny blue particles would only release it's properties when heat is applied, i.e. you need to run over it with a straight iron after application.

If I have known that this was such a complicated product I would never have purchased it, but since I already got it, I might try again with the proper technique and let you know how it works later....

Random Nails




Base: Revlon 050 White in White
Top: Deborah Lippman Happy Birthday

I wanted to love this combo, but I've noticed that Happy Birthday has a yellow tint and the effect was just different from what I was expecting...

Revlon Colorstay Makeup with Softflex SPF6



Contents: 29.5ml
Shade: Sand Beige
Price: HK$158.00
Local of Purchase: Watsons

According to Revlon's webpage:

Longwearing coverage with a lightweight formula that won’t cake, fade, or rub off. With Time Release Technology specifically formulated for combination or oily skin to control oil absorption and shine. Your look stays flawless throughout the day.
  • Makeup feels comfortable and wears up to 24 hours.
  • Medium to full coverage.
  • Comes in 20 beautiful shades.

Ingredients: Active Ingredients: Titanium Dioxide (7.3%) Inactive Ingredients: Aqua/Water (Water), Cyclomethicone, Trimethylsiloxysilicate, Butylene Glycol, Boron Nitride, Dimethicone, SD Alcohol 40B, PEG/PPG 18/18 Dimethicone, Nylon 12, Tribehenin, Isododecane, Polyisobutene, Sodium Chloride, Cetyl PEG/PPG 10/1 Dimethicone, Bisabolol, Serica (Silk Powder), Tocopheryl Acetate, Retinyl Palmitate, Malva Sylvestris Flower Extract (Mallow), Lilium Candidum Bulb Extract (Lily), Lactobacillus/Eridictyon Californicum Ferment Extract, Cymbidium Grandiflorum Flower Extract, Alumina, Polydimethylsiloxane/Polymethysilesquioxane Copolymer, Ethylene Brassylate, Methicone, Trisiloxane, Sorbitan Sesquioleate, Tetrasodium EDTA, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, May Contain (+/-): Mica (CI 77019), Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Iron Oxides (CI 77491, 77492, 77499)

My Opinion:
 
This review is for the Japanese version of the colorstay that comes with a pump. I've recently seen in the comercials that there was a newer version here in Hong Kong, but I'm not sure if they have the same formula.
 
It appears that nearly everyone on youtube loves this foundation, and it kills me to admit that I did not like it at all. I had this bottle since 2009 and have only used it a couple of times, it has started to separate and I guess that it's going to the bin after this review.
 
The reason why I don't like it is because it feels really heavy on the skin and it clogs my pores, it just feels unconfortable on the skin.

Revlon ColorStay Ultimate Suede









Contents:0.09oz / 2.55g
Shade: 036 Socialite
Local of Purchase: HK$68.00

Ingredients: Isohexadecane, Dimethicone, Polyethylene, Trimethylsiloxysilicate, Isododecane, Hydrogenated polyisobutene, Tocopheryl Acetate, Butyrospermum Parkii, Pentaerythrityl tetraethylhexanoate, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Parfum, Benzyl Benzoate, Palmitic Acid, Methicone, Benzoic Acid, BHT, limonene, silica, Mica, Titanium Dioxide, Iron Oxides,Yellow 5 Al Lake, CI 15985, CI 15850, CI45380, CI 17200, CI 42090, CI 75470, CI 45370, CI 45410
 
My Opinion:

I've already read my share of bad reviews about this product, but I still went ahead to get it because I'm a super lazy person, and I only touch up my lips once daily (usually after lunch), and for most of the day I have bare lips, so a long wearing lipstick is really tempting.
 
The texture of this lipstick is really weird, after application you should not smack your lips, you should let it dry, but once dried they really do feel dry.
 
The color really did stay until lunch, but when I looked into the mirror, my lips were dry and patchy,  I did not appreciate the overall look.
 
I've tried using this again, but this time I have moisturized and exfoliated my lips, the results were alot better, and my suggestion would be to only use this product when your lips are moisted and exfoliated.

Local of Purchase: Sasa and Watson's

Ingredients: Polybutene, Bis Diglyceryl Polyacyladipate 2, Tridecyl Trimelitate, Octyldodecanol, Petrolatum, Hydrogenated Polydecene, Neopentyl Glycol Dithylhexanoate, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Polyethylene, Ozokerite, Cetyl PEG/PPG 10/1 Dimethicone, Calcium Sodium Borosilicate, Hexyl Laurate, Polyglyceryl 4 Isostearate, Cera Alba (Beeswax), Zinc Ricinoleate, Squalane, Silica, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), Mangifera Indica (Mango) Seed Butter, Palmitoyl Oligopeptide, Tocopheryl Acetate, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Synthetic Wax, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Dimethicone/Bis Isobutyl PPG 20 Crosspolymer, Isodecyl Neopentanoate, Tribehenin, Sorbitan Isostearate, Fragrance, BHT, Caprylyl Glycol, 1,2 Hexanediol, May Contain (+/-):, Mica, Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Iron Oxides (CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499), Yellow 5 Lake (CI 19140), Red 7 Lake (CI 15850), Yellow 6 Lake (CI 15985), Red 33 Lake (CI 17200), Carmine (CI 75470), Blue 1 Lake (CI 42090), Red 6 Lake (CI 15850)

My Opinion:
I've been obsessed with these lip butters, ever since they came out I've started to collect them, and unlike other lipsticks and lipbalms, they are both hydrating and pigmented.
 
I think I got most of the shades that I like, and is about time to stop purchasing, unless they come up with new shades.

Revlon Colorstay Mineral Mousse







Shade: 020 Fair/Light
Contents: 1fl oz/ 30ml
Price: HK$84.00
Local of Purchase: Sasa
 
Ingredients: (Active Ingredients : Titanium Dioxide 3.8%, Zinc Oxide 2%), Dimethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane, Isododecane, PEG/PPG-19/19 Dimethicone, Water, Caprylyl Methicone, Trisiloxane, Silica, HDI/Trimethylol Hexyllactone Crosspolymer, Adipic Acid/Neopentylglycol Crosspolymer, Silica Silylate, Cyclohexasiloxane, Mother of Pearl, Topaz, Quartz, Cymbidum Grandflorum Flower Extract, Lactobacillus Ferment Extract, Lilium Candidum Bulb Extract, Malva Sylvestris (Mallow) Extract, Serica (Silk), Tocopherol Acetate, Dimethicone/Silsesquioxane Copolymer, Alumina, Trimethylsiloxysilicate, Glycerin, Disteardimonium Hectorite, Trihydroxystearin, Methicone, Alcohol Denat, Triethoxycaprylylsilane, Ammonium Polyacryloyldimethyl Taurate, Polymethylsilsesquioxane, Polysorbate 20, Polysorbate 80, Ethylene Brassylate, Caprylyl Glycol, 1,2-Hexanediol /- (CI 77019/Mica, CI 77891/Titanium Dioxide, CI 77491/CI 77492/CI 77499/Iron Oxides)
 
My Opinion:
 
Another great foundation that has been discontinued.
 
This is a low-medium coverage mineral base foundation, with a moussy texture that instantly matifies your skin. This is my favorite summer foundation, because it doesn't melt, is super light and it doesn't transfer.

Revlon Beyond Natural Smoothing Primer




Contents: 0.85 floz
Price: HK$148.00
Local of Purchase: Watsons
 
I think this product has already been discontinued, because I was unable to locate it in the Revlon's webpage, but I found the following info from Walmart's webpage:
 
Prepare your face for flawless makeup application with the Revlon Smoothing 200 Beyond Natural Primer. Its unique formula evens out your skin tone by minimizing the appearance of pores. The Revlon smoothing face primer is light on your skin and fills in the pores and lines for an evened out look. The clean fresh fragrance of this Revlon Beyond Natural primer is sure to boost your senses every time you apply it. The goodness of avocado, apple, and watermelon extracts will keep your skin moisturized all through the day.
 
Revlon Smoothing 200 Beyond Natural Primer:
  • Silicone based formula
  • Clean, fresh fragrance

  •  
    Ingredients: Trisiloxane , Dimethicone , Cyclomethicone , PEG-PPG-19/19 Dimethicone , Water - Aqua , Glycerin , Dimethicone/Silsesquioxane Copolymer , Alcohol Denat , Watermelon Fruit Extract - Citrullus Vulgaris , Apple Fruit Extract - Pyrus Malus , Avocado Fruit Extract - Persea Gratissima , Euterpe Oleracea Fruit Extract , Tocopheryl Acetate , Ammonium Polyacryloyldimethyl Taurate , Saccharomyces/Zinc Ferment , Saccharomyces/Copper Ferment , Saccharomyces/Iron Ferment , Saccharomyces/Silicon Ferment , Saccharomyces/Potassium Ferment , Polysorbate 20 , Polysorbate 80 , Silica Silylate , Fragrance - Parfum , Limonene , Caprylyl Glycol , C2-Hexanediol
     
    My Opinion:
     
    I've got this because I read people comparing this with Smashbox photoready (I haven't try that out), but after trying this out I've decide that if this is what photoready feels like, I'm not going to get it.
     
    This is a basic primer that smooths out my skin, but after using it I've noticed that my skin was oilier then usual, and instead of keeping my makeup longer, it started to slide all over the place.

    Revlon Grow Luscious By Fabulash







    Shade: 823 Blackened Brown
    Price: HK$108.00
    Local of Purchase: Watsons

    According to the package:
    96 % saw instantly more & longer lashes

    Get lashes that not only look instantly longer and lusher, they will also grow stronger day after day. Lash enhancing formula complements the natural growth cycle of your lashes and improves their overall appearance and condition with each use. Ophthalmologist-tested

    Ingredients: Isododecane, Water, Beeswax (Apis Mellifera), Dimethicone, Stearic Acid, Trimethylsiloxysilicate, Copernicia Cerifera (Carnauba) Wax (Carnauba), PEG 10 Dimethicone, Polyethylene, Trihydroxystearin, Disteardimonium Hectorite, Butylene Glycol, Steareth 2, HDI/Trimethol Hexyllactone Crosspolymer, Bis Vinyl Dimethicone Copolymer, Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein/PVP Crosspolymer, Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Panthenol, Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate (Vitamin C), Phytantriol, Propylene Carbonate, Simethicone, Silica, Nylon 6, Sorbic Acid (A Preservative), Caprylyl Glycol, 1,2 Hexanediol, May also contain:, Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Iron Oxides (CI 77491, 77492, 77499), Black 2 (CI 77266)
     
    My Opinion:
    I got this mainly because it claims that it'll fortify my lashes, I can't vouch for that because I've only been using it for about a week, and I'm not sure if I'll be using this long enough to see the fortifying effects.
     
    I didn't really like this mascara because it clumps, it flakes and it smudges. Usually I only apply one coat of mascara, so you could imagine how surprise I was when I saw clumping...
