My thoughts on the Mogitate Kajitsu Orange and Mango Lip Balm,

Love the small and handy packaging that makes it even possible to just pop right into my smallest bag or even just in my jeans when I am travelling light.

The sheer non-sticky finish helps to accentuate my lip’s original colour without looking artificial or over the top.

The lovely and light fruity scent helps to cheers me up right in an instant when I am having a bad day at work.

Not just sweet whispers with kissable lips

Suffering in silence with unsightly dry and chapped lips?

Wanting to achieve those full and supple pout that is similar to those of Angelina Jolie’s?

Currently on a tight budget and can’t decide on getting either a function lip moisturizer or a delicious looking lip stain?

Look no further, Lip Ice and its trusty range of lip moisturizers are the one stop ultimate solution to your lip woes.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Girls, you might be wondering why do we need to apply lip balm as you can always conveniently lick your lips, but did you know?

  • Licking your lips actually only deteriorates the existing condition of your lips.
  • The application of lip moisturizers aids in the healing and prevention in the formation of chapped lips by creating a protective layer to prevent additional moisture lost.

Being totally guilty after knowing that the licking of my lips are not helpful in any way, I was quite glad that I was given the chance to test out the Lip Ice Sheer Color Lip moisturizer range.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Without further ado, here are the stars for today, the Lip Ice Sheer Color Strawberry Lip moisturizer and Lip Ice Sheer Color Shimmer Lip Moisturizer.

Thanks Mentholatum Lip Ice and The Sample Store for giving me this timely opportunity and for making this review possible.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


More information on the Lip Ice Sheer Color Lip Moisturizer range:
  • Affordably priced @ $7.50 a tube
  • Available in 3 different variety to choose from: Strawberry, Shimmer and Fragrance-free
  • Produced by The Mentholatum CO., New York, U.S.A
  • Innovative colour changing concept
  • Infused with natural beeswax to soothe sensitive and inflamed skin
  • Formulated with natural effective ingredients like: Macadamia, Shea butter, Terni folia seed oil, Jojoba seed oil and Aloe vera extract for healthier looking lips
  • Addition of vitamin E for its anti-oxidant benefits to help battle against the natural pollutants in the air

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First up for today will be the Lip Ice Sheer Color Strawberry Lip moisturizer,

What I love about it:
  • Easy to use, fuss free packaging
  • Delicious strawberry scent
  • Glides on effortlessly
  • Smooth, glossy finish
  • Long lasting and light weight
  • Instantaneous plumper looking lips
  • Heals and reduce the chances of having chapped lips with constant usage

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My experience with the Lip Ice Sheer Color Strawberry Lip moisturizer,
 
 
 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My thoughts the Lip Ice Sheer Color Strawberry Lip moisturizer,

I absolutely love the strawberry scent as it does not smell artificial like some of those that I have purchased.

I adore how my lips stayed happily moisturized after a long day exposed in an air conditioned room even with minimal reapplication throughout the day.

Application was a breeze as it glides on easily without leaving a waxy feeling.

The only down side is probably the overly pinkish tone that I find it difficult to match my usual nude day makeup.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Next up is the Lip Ice Sheer Color Shimmer Lip Moisturizer,


 What I love about it:
  • More subtle colour change
  • Easy to carry and functional packaging
  • Glides on effortlessly
  • Contains fine, gentle pink shimmer for a more 3 dimensional illusion
  • Smooth, slightly shimmery finish
  • Long lasting and light weight
  • Instantaneous plumper looking lips
  • Heals and reduce the chances of having chapped lips with constant usage
  • Super long lasting staining of the lips

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My experience with the Lip Ice Sheer Color Shimmer Lip moisturizer,
 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My thoughts on the Lip Ice Sheer Color Shimmer Lip moisturizer,

The pink shimmers are a lovely addition that helps to make my lips look prominent than it usually is.

The more subtle shade of pink makes this more versatile in creating different makeup looks as when compared with the Lip Ice Sheer Color Strawberry Lip moisturizer.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ultimately my thoughts on the Lip Ice Sheer Color Lip Moisturizer range,

With its practical functions, non-frills simple packaging and the easy on the pocket prices, I find that it is a worthwhile buy.

Through a point to note would be that during application, please use it sparingly to prevent getting an overwhelming shade of pink that might not be totally your style.

Oh before I forget, this is really suited for those who are aiming for the dolly Japanese look.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Without further ado, I will be sharing with you girls more on the Sun Silk Weather Defense range, my personal feedback and the lovely event that I was kindly invited to.

Many thanks to Sun Silk and The Sample Store for the kind invitation and the fun time I had at the Sun Silk Weather Defense Blogger Event. I totally enjoyed myself and have too picked up valuable hair care tips as well.

The event was held on a lovely Saturday afternoon at Heeren Ben and Jerry’s for a casual and fun sharing session.

And… one of the highlight was that we are able to create our own sundae with the combination of any flavors, toppings or sides. 

I must add that it’s really a sinful indulgence but it is absolutely a blast to experience a nice cold sugar rush on a typical sunny afternoon.

Not to mentioned that the staffs at Ben and Jerry’s was really friendly as well, the guy serving us was super attentive and patient as I took a super long time before deciding as I was like totally spoiled for choice with all the temping flavors.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shortly after placing my orders and mingling with fellow bloggers, it was then time for the introduction and sharing session for the Sun Silk Weather Defense range.

We got to meet the bubbly and cheerful Shawn who is a representative from Unilever Singapore to share his vast knowledge on the Sun Silk Weather Defense range and impart useful hair care tips to us to attain a more confident self.

The Sun Silk Weather Defense range is specifically formulated to help battle against the harmful effects of the constantly changing elements of the weather namely the: Sun’s UV rays, heat, humility, wind and even the natural pollutants in the atmosphere.

Why are they harmful to our hair?


UV rays are not only harmful to our skin but are actually the main cause of dry and fizzy looking hair. It too affects the texture and cause more breakages as it weakens the hair directly at the follicle area.

Living in an urban environment, we are always subjected to constantly moving in and out of the air-condition room into the sun. Due to the fluctuation in the change of temperature, our hair will tend to contracting and expanding rapidly to adapt to the changes and thus resulting in tangled, split ends and limp looking hair.

Heat that raises the temperature above 24 degrees will too cause the hair to fizz up as well.

Excessive moisture lost of the hair due to the exposure to wind also plays a part as it carries away the moisture we need to maintain to prevent hair breakages and split ends from developing.

Even through our precious hair is considered as a dead being, it is constantly adapting itself to the unpredictable weather and thus makes appropriate changes to suit the environment. Thus it is never easy to take proper care for your glorious tresses.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 With the collaboration of Sun Silk and Teddy Charles, the end result was to achieve a targeted hair care range that protects our hair against the weather elements, retains our hair shape and is ultimately fizz proof and easy to incorporate in our everyday lives.

To make all this possible, the fabulous research team from Sun Silk uses their patent state of the art, nano complex formula with 1,000 smaller than a single strand of hair particles for natural weightless bouncy looking hair with the locking in of moisture and the protection it needs to battle against harsh weather conditions.

And… They even search high and low before they found the Rose of Jerico to complete their mission impossible.


Have not heard about it, here’s more information:
  • Native to the Valley of the Dead Sea in Israel
  • It contains natural unique enzymes called Trehalose that aids in efficient moisture retention. This unique enzyme is known to have helped the plant to survive even under the harshest desert conditions without even withering.

Thus with such a fantastic ingredient added, it results in the creation of Sun Silk Weather Defense range with the functions to instantly strengthen, proves 24 hours protection and hydrates for a healthier and highly resilient hair while combating fly away, fizz and flatness.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PS. Did you know that actually the scent stays and lingers on longer on your hair than your skin? Thus with the specially concocted harmonious blend of citrus, floral and musky sandal wood, one will stay fresh and nice smelling all day long without the need of additional hair cologne.

Shawn even mentioned that actually the entire Sun Silk hair care series are all differently scented.

Perhaps I should proceed on to be inspector Sherlock for a day to personally sniff this mystery out.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To prove that the Sun Silk Weather Defense range is not just all talk, Shawn even chose a volunteer from the audience to demonstrate on its instant effects on achieving voluminous, fizz free and smooth silky hair in just mere minutes.

Here’ Shawn working his magical fingers on the volunteer’s existing limp looking curls.

Using just the Sun Silk Weather Defense Leave On, Shawn managed to create instant rejuvenation and more defined looking curls that even the volunteer was surprised when she looked at her own hair.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

During the entire sharing session, I did pick up some useful tips that I would love to share with you girls.

-----

Tips for healthier and enviable looking tresses:
  • Washing your hair every single day is not a problem, though do only use cold or luke warm water to prevent getting heat damage to your hair
  • Strengthen your hair and prevent unwanted breakages by using cold water to wash your hair

-----

Proper usage of the Sun Silk Weather Defense Leave On:
  • Use after showering on clean, semi wet hair to help create a protective layer before blow drying
  • Spread evenly on palm before apply in a rubbing circular motion for wider coverage
  • Lightly comb though your hair using your fingers to prevent tangles and to give an airy feel after application
  • Do avoid the scalp area during application and divide your hair into different segments for hassle free application and a more even coverage

-----

Tips for healthier and manageable hair:
  • Always start by conditioning the mid to the ending tips of your hair
  • Next shampoo the scalp area on the top of your head and allow the shampoo to slowly flow down to the rest of your hair
  • Last but not least, rinse it off and be ready to welcome a more smooth and enviable hair in just 5 washes.
  • PS. For those with colored hair or really damaged hair, do replace the conditioner with the use of a treatment mask for more intense reconstructive capabilities

-----

The cause of dandruff and the ways to cure it:
  • The cause of dandruff is caused mainly by 2 elements: Hormone issues or bacteria and fungus growth
  • Other contributing factors to be considered are: Dehydration, the environment, unhealthy lifestyles and even weather conditions
  • And… For now the only and most effective method is to choose and use the right hair care shampoo to target your problems, never be afraid to admit you have dandruff problems as with the constant usage of the wrong shampoo it will only aggravate the situation

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Look absolutely yummy right? Here’s my long awaited toasty waffle with the mouth watering sorbets.

Meet Rui Ting (1st - Credit to Rui Ting & 2nd pic) and Wen Yao (3rd pic) that I met at the event, thanks for the great time spent. I had lots of fun talking and taking goofy pictures with you girls.

I just love the texture of my hair and how it looks right now.
