PROPER neck care for a MORE youthful look

Prologue:

Girls, my deepest apologies for the lack of updates as I am currently bombard with like 2-3 assignments per week from school.

I would too love to use this chance to express my heartfelt thanks to all the readers who have stayed with SSC and have been kind to me until today.

In conjunction of SSC’s first birthday and my own birthday, I will be launching a giveaway really soon, do stay tuned and participate in it.

With lotsa hugs and kisses, Lenn

Back to the focus for today's entry,

Girls, you must all be probably thinking that isn’t with just the usage of facial products is more than enough for a youthful looking you right?

Think again, other than the face that we treasure, the neck area is actually just as delicate against the natural pollutants in the air and the constant exposure of the sun.

Often being neglected, the neck area actually does play a big part in the exposure of one’s actual age even through your face might seem flawless.

Though do not get me wrong, I am not trying to say that the neck area is more important than the face but  they are both equally important as they compliments each other in terms of our presentation of ourselves.

Thus in order to make yours and my life easier, I have went ahead to test drive a product that I have recently gotten my paws on that might help improve such conditions.

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

It is none other than Skin Food’s Grape Seed Oil Wrinkle Neck Cream,

Meet the star for today the Skin Food’s Grape Seed Oil Wrinkle Neck Cream.

Possesses a creamy texture with an slight alcoholic grape scent, or perhaps is just my personal interpretation.

Feels absolutely light weight on my skin after application.

Here’s more information about it:

• Priced @ $27.10 for a 50g jar
• Made in Korea
• Contain grape seed oil for moisture retention
• Possess anti-aging and hydrating properties
• Plastic tub container packaging

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

Pros

• Fast absorption
• Light weight
• Creamy texture glides on effortlessly
• Smoother and suppler skin after constant usage
• Slightly lighten existing fine lines
• Brightens up dull, lifeless looking skin

-----

Cons

• Not in favor of its scent, through it pleasantly disperse after a few minutes after application
• Prefer a more hygienic and convenient packaging instead of the existing tub container. Constantly looking for a clean spatula to use and washing it after every use can be quite a hassle

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

My thoughts on the Skin Food’s Grape Seed Oil Wrinkle Neck Cream,

After constant usage, my neck area do seemed more supple and firm. It also feels really soft and smooth when touched.

I love the fast absorption of the Skin Food’s Grape Seed Oil Wrinkle Neck Cream into my skin, with this there is lesser waiting time and it is easier for it to be incorporate into my skincare regime.

I would have preferred if it is packaged in a squeeze tube container as it would be easier to bring around and as I am able to control the amount that I dispense out each time. In this way it will be more hygienic and there will be lesser wastage as well.

-----

My Verdict

7 out of 10 stars, as I am not in favor of its scent

-----

Will I buy it again?

Depends, as I am very particular about the smell of the product I use as I believe that aromatherapy does help to relax one’s senses after a tiring day.

Girls, go give the tester at Skin Food a try before deciding on making a purchase. Though it really depends on an individual’s take on their preferences when it comes to scent.

I do get feed backs that it smells acceptable or heavenly to some friends that I have previously introduced the Skin Food’s Grape Seed Oil Wrinkle Neck Cream for their consideration.

Well to each our own, I guess.

Till next time ^_^

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.

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

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.
