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

My thoughts on the Benefit’s ice-cream parlor event and their new Box O’ Powder Lip Glosses:


I really had a blast with the sweet treats and their mini-games as Benefit’s events are always full of fun and excitement with their unique brand philosophy of:  “Laughter is the best cosmetic, so grin and wear it!”

Thus girls, starting today start smiling away :D

It is too such a creative way to match their Box O’ Powder Lip Glosses to the month-watering flavours of ice-cream.  What other than that to best tackle the hot summer holiday?

Next is that my experience with the Box O’ Powder Lip Glosses on a multiple account of times, really WOW me over.

The hassle-free applicator and a few swipes is all it takes to get a nice, smooth and even coating of gloss on my lips and the best part is that it only requires a small amount of product. Guess that one tube is going to last me for quite some time.

It leaves my lips hydrated throughout the day despite having to shuffle between both the air-conditioned room and the outdoors.

Last but not least, the highly wearable colours and its versatility makes it a must have in every girl’s cosmetic pouch for a quick touch up at work or a glamorous night out.

Get indulged with Sothys

To start things off, I would like to express heartfelt thanks to the lovelies at Sothys for patiently waiting for me to settle my stuffs before dishing out this review. 

Next, I am nevertheless extremely honored to be invited to attend a private cozy session by Sothys to experience their products on a first hand basis.

Last but not least, I love you all at Sothys to bits for hosting such a fabulous session and for giving me such a fantastic time with your hospitality.

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

I was totally overwhelmed by the luxurious location where the share and tell session was held. It was at Bar Mezza 9 in the Grand Hyatt Singapore on a relaxing Friday afternoon.

Once I reached, I was greeted by the lovely trio: Jenny, Jasmine and Joyce. I just love how all their name rhythms.

I was also glad to spot a few familiar faces as I get settled down into the comfy cushioned sofa.

The detachable selection of finger food does too help to get the conversation going as well.

Just reminiscing the delicious shortcakes gets me drooling for more.

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

After a short introduction and mindless chit chats, we were then officially introduced to Sothys’s latest launched skincare line, [W.]™+ Brightening Cosmeceutic Program.

Have not heard about Sothys?

Here is some information to get you girls acquainted:
  • Specialized in face, body, makeup and homme care products
  • Founded in Paris in the year 1946
  • Have been in Singapore for 25 years
  • The brand name, Sothys was inspired by the ancient Egyptians. It symbolizes the brightest star that is bestowed with eternal beauty
  • Places strong emphasis on innovation, quality and efficacies

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

Why does Sothys a salon orientated brand have decided to launch their own homecare line, the [W.]™+ Brightening Cosmeceutic Program?

It is to give fans of Sothys a holistic skincare regime by allowing them to enjoy the goodness of Sothys both at the salons and at the comfort of their own residence.

Sothys’s [W.]™+ Brightening Cosmeceutic Program is aimed to help it’s users achieve:
  1. Instant brightening of dull and lifeless looking complexion
  2. Lightening of existing pigmentations
  3. Reduction on the signs of pre-mature aging

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

What is the cause for such problematic skin issues?
  • Pigmentation is caused by the overproduction of melanin in our skin. This mainly due to the exposure of harmful UV rays from the sun, natural aging or even with hormone imbalances.
  • The quality of melanin will inevitably affect the rest of our chromophores which is commonly known as haemoglobin and collagen.
  • The lack of haemoglobin affects the formation of pro-inflammatory messengers which causes localized redness while the lack of collagen causes uneven skin tone, roughness and wrinkles.
  • Thus striking a healthy balance between the three is the secret towards a more uniform and radiant looking complexion.

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

More information on Sothys’s [W.]™+ Brightening Cosmeceutic Program,

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

Formulated with Sothys’s exclusive H2CR Cosmeceutic Complex and [W.]™+ Complex which promises to:
  • Repairs and generates healthier skin cells
  • Maximizes overall brightening effects
  • Limits the transfer of melanin in the skin
  • Maintains a balance between light scattering and reflection by internal skin structures that are commonly known as chromophores

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

The [W.]™+ Brightening Cosmeceutic Program consists of:
  • Facial wash off mask: [W.]™+ Brightening Mask @ $135.00 for a 50ml tube
  • Toner: [W.]™+ Brightening Preparative Lotion @ $93.00 for a 200ml bottle
  • Daily serum: [W.]™+ Brightening Double Action Serum @ $219 for 2 x 10ml in 1 bottle
  • Night serum (Optional): [W.]™+ Brightening Serum with Pure Vitamin C @ $505.00 for 15 doses
  • Emulsion: [W.]™+ Brightening Fluid @ $169.00 for a 50ml tube

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

On the whole, having a chance to meet the lovely ladies that I have been conversing with from Sothys and having to experience Sothys’s [W.]™+ Brightening Cosmeceutic Program was definitely an enjoyable a worthwhile Friday afternoon.

I was totally amazed at how my hand felt immediately with just the use of the Sothys’s [W.]™+ Brightening Cosmeceutic Program, I am totally looking forward to more innovative inventions from Sothys.

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

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.

Ultimately how I feel about the Sun Silk Weather Defense range,

Just after of 1 week of constant usage all I can say is that I absolutely love the entire experience.  During this period, I witness lesser fizz, smoother, tangle free, bouncier and more lively looking tresses.

Combing my hair deems to be less frightening with lesser hair breakages and I experience less fly away as well.

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