the QUEEN and her BLING

Ever considered going for IPL treatment for whitening? What if you just have to pay a fraction of the amount to get the same effect?

For the first time, White Perfect Laser from L’Oreal Paris Dermo-Expertise challenges to deliver comparable results against the peak of Whitening Technology – Intense Pulsed Light (IPL). What a bold statement!

Here we have the White Perfect Laser Anti-Spot Brightening Essence (S$39.90, 30ml) and White Perfect Laser All-Round Protection Whitening Cream SPF19/PA+++ (S$32.90, 50ml)

I’ve briefly tried both products and really love their textures. The essence is easier to absorb unlike the cream, which is much thicker and heavier. A clinical trial conducted in L’Oreal Laboratories show that 8 weeks of daily application of both White Perfect Laser Essence and Day Cream SPF19/PA+++ delivered comparable results to those obtained from one IPL session on six key dimensions women seek, which are:

• Shrinking of spots
• Fading of dark spots
• Improving skin texture
• Improving skin smoothness
• More radiant skin
• Less visible pores

I will do a more in-depth review after finishing this product. Hope it work wonders! =)

Here’s a little test we did. We shone the UV light onto the model’s face and wrinkles, fine lines, pigmentations, spots and freckles started to form. Horrible!

Kila Doll Masks from Taiwan are specially designed for Asian skins. The sheet masks are made using 100% silk wood pulp fiber imported from Japan with its ingredients formulated and manufactured in Taiwan. Silk wood pulp creates super-thin and soft sheets, which fits perfectly on any Asian face. The masks’ highly breathable function helps the essential liquid penetrate into the skin for better absorption.

There are 9 types of Kila Doll Masks, each with different functions for different skin concerns. Here are 4 of the best selling range:

Hyaluronic Acid is effective at moisturizing surface skin cells, which prevents water loss and protects the skin from dirt and other pollutants. Kila Doll Hyaluronic Acid Mask helps retain skin’s moisture, giving the skin a smoother and youthful appearance. It provides a long-lasting moisturizing effect on the skin and helps improves skin’s elasticity.

Kila Doll Diamond Platinum Mask contains Platinum Nanoparticles which plays an important role in anti-aging, antioxidant and in moisturizing the skin. Kila Doll Diamond Platinum Mask is specially designed to slow down the signs of aging skin. It also helps repair skin cells and reduce fine lines and wrinkles, giving you a smooth and younger skin.

One of the main ingredients in Kila Doll Rose Moisturizing Mask is Rose Water. Rose Water is well- known for its benefits on skin. Rose water stimulates the circulation in the tiny blood vessels beneath the skin, reducing the appearance of thread veins and broken capillaries. Kila Doll Rose Moisturizing Mask helps to brighten and moisturize your face, keeping your skin soft and supple.

One of the main ingredients, Tranexamic Acid, helps to reduce the pigmentation of skin. It not only acts as an anti-inflammation but also minimize dark spot area due to sun exposure. Kila Doll Tranexamic Acid Mask essence penetrates into the skin to dilute spots and even out skin tone. This mask also helps to reduce fine lines and dark spots, giving you a fresher and brighter skin tone!

Here’s what I was given!

I tried the Rose Moisturizing Mask which gives a very subtle rose scent. Any products with rose water in it certainly attracts me The mask was dripping with the essence when I took it out from the packaging. I had to quickly apply it on my arms and feet, no wastage at all!

I left it on for about 20 minutes and my face feels extremely supple and moisturized after that. Absolutely love the texture of the sheet masks as they are made from silk wood pulp, which feels extremely soft and super-thin. However, I feel that it’s a tad too big for my face.
