Summer Party’s Necessities

maybeline

Summer is here! Are you ready for it? What is your summer must-have other than beach wear and sun dresses?

Do remember to take care of your hair, skin and body when you’re enjoying yourself at the beach. Apply sunblock, moisturize the skin and the scalp!

Let me introduce you some of the latest products from Tsubaki, Senka and Aqualabel.

Closer friends know that I WILL NEVER step out of my house without sunblock (unless I am supposed to go for some skin related consultation or facial). Sunblock is basically my necessity. It is more important than applying make up on my face.

I use all kind of sunblock, from cream based, to gel based, and to water based. Water based is always my first choice in any facial products.

Senka now has a new water based sunblock! The Mineral Essence UV which is made with 100% mineral water with strong UV protection and anti-aging care.

Yup, you heard me right. it has anti-aging care as it contains Coenzyme Q10 and Hyaluronic Acid to keep skin looking youthful, resilient and firm even when you are protecting your skin from the sun. As it is water based, it does not leave your skin greasy. It leaves a silky smooth finish with no residue and is resistant to sweat and sebum.

My pre-make up base is usually essence followed by sunblock. So this works pretty well as a pre-make up base too. Only retailing at $17.90 at selected Watsons stores.

Next is the Aqualabel Whitening Jelly Essence. The texture is really jelly-liked and has 4 functions.

Lotion, Emulsion, Serum and Astringent.  I like it’s astringent effect as it can minimizes pores that tends to dilate or sad. Open pores is one of the first world problems for all ladies out there.

It firms the skin affected by dilated pores and keeps moisture for many house with the skin protected by the veil of the highly-permeating jelly. This is already available in Watsons at $29.90!

And TSUBAKI has launched another new product in it’s Head Spa range! The Head Spa Sparkling Serum!  Probably my favourite product in the entire event!

It is a leave-in scalp essence that delivers a range of Head Spa effects from moisturizing, softening to stimulation blood circulation for a healthy and moisturized scalp that leaves no sticky feel after application.

I like the product because it is convenient and cheap! Hair tonics or whatsnot are usually costly. This bottle of Serum only cost $18.90. You can have fun while applying it as it will produce the sparkling sound when it comes in contact with your hair and your palm.

It contains ingredients like Natural Essential Oil Blend, Camellia Flower Extract and Camellia oil. They can help to moisturize and soften the scalp while enhancing the hair shine.

What about your summer must-have?! Care for a share? 🙂

TSUBAKI Out of Bath Treatment

Having tried TSUBAKI’s shampoo and condition during the previous launch, I really do like the effect and scent of the different shampoos. Now, TSUBAKI has just launched its out-of-bath leave-in treatment series for the first time in Singapore – Damage Care Hair Emulsion, Damage Care Hair Water, Shining Hair Water.

Developed using the latest technology – Highly penetrative boost formula, the Out-of-Bath series will be introduced to complement the existing In-Bath series, as well as to provide the complete suite of hair carefor Asian women.

A leave-in treatment, the Damage Care Hair Emulsionencompasses a new highly penetrative boost formula where luxurious repair ingredients are blended with the penetrative essence for improved permeability. The selected camellia oil penetrates deeply into the core of each hair shaft to repair and restore suppleness.

Pump 1 or 2 pumps and spread it on both palms and start applying it to the hair by rubbing on the hair ends. I like to work with it on semi-dry hair.

I hate products that leaves a sticky and oily feeling on the palm/hair. However, this does not leave any sticky residue! Yay!

Next….

Hair Water!

White: Damage Care Hair Water
Red: Shining Hair Water

The Damage Care Hair Water is created to instantly repair, protect against damage and makes hair elastic and lustrous right from roots to tips. It can protects the hair against UV exposure during the day and leave your hair smooth and manageability along with a hint of camellia and green fragrance.

Shining Hair Water instantly replenishes moisture and shine to the hair, making it silky smooth and lustrous. Like the Damage Care Hair Water, it also protects the hair against UV exposure during the day, creates silky smooth hair without oily feel and leaves a hint of camellia, honey and fruit fragrance.

The Select Camellia Oil can repair damaged hair surface and creates a protective coating, providing hair with a rich radiance. It also has the ability to seal in moisture throughout the hair.

Both of the textures are very much like water, and water has no oily feel.

Use any of the products after washing and towel drying the hair.

Hold the spray nozzel 5 – 10 cm away from the hair and spray generously. You can comb or brush your hair with your fingers after that 🙂

TSUBAKI Damage Care Hair Emulsion Damage Care Hair Water and Shining Hair Water are available at $16.90 each exclusively in Watsons stores from 06 February 2014 onwards.
