The Fading Memories

Review: TSUBAKI Hair Oil [Sponsored]

Thursday, August 28, 2014 / 12:12 PM

Got this new hair product to try out, It's called TSUBAKI Hair Oil from Shiseido.

60ml - $26.90

Finest Premium Hair Oil, Richly Formulated with Selected Camellia Oil

Formulated with high concentration of selected camellia oil to deeply protect, moisturise and repair your hair resulting in a luxurious shine.
Instantly penetrates hair upon application without feeling greasy or sticky and gives a silky smooth finish.
Protects your hair from the damages caused by UV rays and heat from your hair dryers (or other styling equipment), while preventing split ends and hair breakage.
Elegant and indulgent scent of floral and green fruity notes.

Specially selected camellia seeds

They're carefully chosen from the Goto Islands in Nagasaki, Japan, the perfect location for producing quality camellia oil thanks to the warm climate, fertile soils, and other favourable conditions.

Traditional harvesting method

Only fully ripe fruits are carefully handpicked, one by one, before they fall to the ground.

Meticulous oil pressing method

Camellia oil is extracted using a traditional, time-consuming method of pressing finely selected seeds.

Carefully selected for freshness

Only pure camellia oil obtained from the first pressing of camellia seeds harvested in the current season is used.

*According to my hair situation*

*Recommended to those who have soft and fine hair*

Refrain from applying large amount inappropriately and unevenly. Start application from the damaged tips and gradually work upwards to the roots to avoid flat hair.

*Recommended to those who have thick and voluminous hair*

Apply an appropriate amount to wet hair and dry it with a hair dryer. Then, spread a small amount on your palms and apply on bottom half of the hair to reduce the voulme.

I was sceptical at first thinking how can a hair product not be oily after usage, I felt so amazed when I tried it. It didn't leave any oily, sticky feeling when being applied, but left hair feeling smooth, nourished and there's definitely volume and shine.

Nourishing my hair is a great deal to me as I have coloured, permed and re-bonded my hair numerous times. As they leave my hair dry, sometimes brittle and tends to break leaving split ends. I do in fact go to the salon to get my hair treated, but that's if I've got the time to go down. Using this product helps me to save time and treat my hair in the comfort of my home, without having to go out!

Using TSUBAKI Hair Oil is a great way to boost my hair strength. I would definitely recommend this to my friends as it's not expensive, plus it smells great!

Thank you samplestore.sg and TSUBAKI for giving me the opportunity to review this hair product (:

Daisy Dream by Marc Jacob

Friday, August 22, 2014 / 11:26 AM

So I came across this road show when I was at VivoCity yesterday during lunch and they were letting customers smell their new limited edition Daisy Dream perfume by Marc Jacob. I thought it was a pleasant smell so I placed in my wallet.

After work I went back to the road show to find out how much it cost as I didn't have the time to look at it during lunch. I heard from the sales lady that today is the first day of the launch and that they're the only Sephora carrying it. Other Sephora outlets do not have it and it's exclusive to the VivoCity outlet. They are only carrying 100 boxes of each and they have 3 different sizes.

I actually wanted to get the 50ml but I think the 100ml is more worth it. For a 100ml, it cost $148 and a 50ml cost $115. Plus if you feel 50ml is all you need during the road show you're entitled to most of the free gift. This is my first Marc Jacobs perfume, the bottle is so cute too! Maybe i'm moving to a more floral & fruity perfume. Instead of a sweet smelling perfume like my Anna Sui - Lavie De Boheme 75ml.

I felt so happy after I bought it (: Bf thought I was silly for telling him that!

Here's what I got ~>

• 100ml Daisy Dream by Marc Jacobs
• 4ml Daisy Dream Perfume Bottle
• Daisy Dream Pouch
• Daisy Dream Keychain
• 4 x 1.2ml Daisy Dream Perfume Spray (got 2 extra ^^)

For those who are interested! Head down to VivoCity road show near Sephora. It's from 21 - 31 Aug 2014 (White Card Exclusive) Receive a complimentary 5 pc travel kit with every purchase of Marc Jacobs Daisy Dream 100ml. While stocks last!

Review: Bio-essence Hydra Tri-Action Aqua Droplet Sleeping Beauty Mask [Sponsored]

Tuesday, August 19, 2014 / 12:42 PM

I finally got this on the weekend! Thank you samplestore.sg for this opportunity to try this beauty product. It's called Bio-essence Hydra Tri-Action Aqua Droplet Sleeping Beauty Mask. Yup, It's a mouthful to say!

Left: The Packaging | Right: The Bottle

(Ohhhh I love the colour already!)

I had a peak inside the bottle too (:

So what's all this fuss about this Sleeping Beauty Mask?

It's their Hyrda Tri-Action - 3 x Hydration Power (Hydrates | Nourishes | Protects)

	Power Nano Hyaluronic Acid With an average nano molecular size of 15 - 25 nm, it absorbs quickly and easily into the skin, making skin instantly hydrated and moisturised. Superior moisture retention capability to keep skin firm, plumped up and moisturised Hyaluronic Acid: Forms a large lock water network to effectively lock in moisture, keeping the skin moist and soft. Cranberry Extract: Works as a great moisturiser and aids in moisture retention, improving skin elasticity and suppleness
	Cranberry Extract provides excellent conditioning of the skin for a healthy glow. With Bio Energy Fluid which further nourishes and refines skin texture.
	Rich in anti-oxidants, Cranberry Extract helps protects skin against harmful free radicals, environmental and UV damages

Enriched with 2 types of Hyaluronic Acid (Power Nano Hyaluronic Acid & Hyaluronic Acid) to replenish and lock-in moisture, providing your skin with non-stop hydration
With Cranberry Extracts to moisturise skin, for a radiant smooth complexion
Rapidly absorbs into skin, ensuring optimal nutrients being absorbed without any moisture lost and leaves no sticky feeling on skin.
Delivers moisture intensively all night to hydrate and repair skin during sleep.
Reveals a revitalised, supple and smooth skin the next morning.

Yes, It is.. Bio Essence's Bio Aqua Crystal Technology, let's you see aqua droplets in 3 seconds!

Dull & Tired Skin | Oily Skin | Dry & Rough Skin | Enlarged Pores

Below shows how you can combat 4 common skin problems that most ladies face.

Well for me it would be the oil levels when it's hot and humid outside, even though I constantly wash my face with water wherever I go. Or when I travel to cold countries my skin gets dry.

Suitable for all skin types and daily usage

Step 1 : Massage gently till aqua droplets form

(I'm still amazed at how the aqua droplets are formed)

Step 2 : Gently pat till full absorbed into skin

Step 3 : Apply a thin layer over skin as a daily moisturiser or apply a thicker layer to replenish skin's moisture throughout the night as a sleeping mask (Don't worry it doesn't feel sticky)

I really like Bio-essence Hydra Tri-Action Aqua Droplet Sleeping Beauty Mask as it fulfils everything I'm looking for in a beauty mask product. The non-sticky/matte feeling when applied as a sleeping mask. It smells so good and it leaves my skin refreshed, replenished and smooth while I sleep.
