See visibly results in only 7 Days! Skin youthfulness returns with that soft velvety and cushiony feel. The concentrate works by boosting genes activity and stimulating the production of youth proteins. It has sold thousands and thousands all over the world with faithful believers stocking this up.

My review : : I took on the 7 day challenge myself before I could review to my faithful family here on Lush Shop. My first application of the Lancome Genifique concentrate totally surprised me. As concentrate works fast and effective to correct, it was instantly soaked up by my skin making it very smooth and cushiony as compared to most of the serums I have tried. After which, my moisturizer glided on like velvet.
In 7 days, skin is baby soft and has a more plumped radiant appearance. Discoloration and fine lines are lightened and smoothened out. Even recent acne scars seem to have lightened too. Say bye bye to concealers Skin seems to have 'toughened' up to humid weather here in Singapore which used to make my skin susceptible to breakouts and oily skin. Foundation or powder glides on so much easier. Comes in a sleek bottle with a dropper and thus making this very hygenic and easy to apply.

Verdict : YOU HAVE TO GET ONE!!

Dr Ci Labo has saved the day again!

This is dedicated to my favorite Dr Ci Labo Aqua-collagen-gel. 

The simple one step skincare has saved me again. I am not trying to be melodramatic but I really feel the need to share with my loyal readers what this wonderful moisturizer has done for me again. I am sure many of you here can attest to my testimony as this is still the best-seller and most wanted item on LushShop eversince we started.

So here is what happened. As some of you might know, my skin is so thin, I cannot use just any product even if it is for Sensitive skin. I can hardly scrub my face, clean it with a towel or even get a facial massage when I am at the beauty salon. So that is how sensitive my skin is. I started using Dr Ci Labo Aqua Collagen Gel after developing dry and scaly eczema patches on my cheeks during my days in the airline. I would get it so frequently after a long haul flight that my colleagues would think I have too much blush on. The skin was raw, dry and painful. Moisturizers either were too oily , which ended giving me severe breakouts, or they were too light to replenish the hydration my skin needed. A dermatologist once told me, I have a complicated case!

So after leaving the airline more than three years ago, I have less skin problems. Up until this year, when I started traveling several times to the States, beach resorts and dusty rustic Cambodia. The last trip to Cambodia caused a serious dust, dirt and sun allergy. I suffered a flare up so bad I really do think the color of my face was that of a Tomato. Imagine very dry skin with clogged pores. I tried several doctors' prescriptions which proved too strong for me.

I almost gave up, until I decided I will NOT use anything else except a gentle facial wash and Dr Ci Labo Aqua Collagen Gel Moisturizer in evening before I retire. Voila! I woke up with almost no more red patches and skin feels at least 50% more hydrated than it was yesterday!

This is why, even with such a busy schedule, I am writing this blog post dedicating it to my favorite moisturizer, to say Thank you! You have done it again!

Dr Ci Labo Acneless series

 

There are many out there who are suffering from adult acne/pimple problems than we really know. Acne does not just affect prepubescent teens, many suffer this condition throughout their lives with scars that never go away or even more discomforting for those who had never experienced breakouts till their late 20's or older. Many acne clearing products in the market target zapping out oil which is the culprit for causing dirty pores. Many, like myself, have sensitive skin which are not suitable for such strong treatment. I have found this Acneless series to be so gentle yet so effective in cleaning out the pores, eventually leading to no sudden breakouts and clearer skin. The Spotpack is like an emergency mask when you do get that annoying red inflammed bump. Just leave it on for a few minutes and peel it off before applying the wonderful Super acneless gel and acneless moisturizer.

Lancome Teint Miracle

The never-ending search for the perfect foundation. One that suits our humid climate in Singapore or dry cold weather in London? I have personally tested the latest miracle foundation on myself in Singapore and I must say it really stays on. No streaking even when I perspire on my outdoor shoots, and the natural glow you get from the foundation promises you will not look like you actually have make-up on. It looks like you have perfect skin!

My clients who have tested this when they travel overseas for work in cold dry weather, tell me that the high water content (40% water) and rose essence continues to hydrate their skin which gives the user comfort in wearing the foundation while giving skincare benefits. The super dry cabin air in the aircraft does not worry the frequent travellers anymore as there are claims from my clients that  their skin still look dewy after an 8-12 hour flight.

 Being a Make-up Artist myself, I strongly emphasize on the importance of a good base. Once the skin is prepared correctly , whether it is the shade or application, your make-up will last and last for even as long as 24hours.

The Corrector pen is also a marvellous multi-tasker. You can contour, highlight and camouflage with this pen. Armed with this two wonderful 'AURA' base make-up, everyone can look like a Star.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Lancome Teint Miracle

Lush Shop recommends Lancome Teint Miracle

Aura

See your skin lit-from within

Teint Miracle Foundation

Teint Miracle is the 1st foundation that is a Natural Light Creator that gives Bare Skin Perfection. It boosts skin’s surface radiance and reproduces inner light, resulting in perfectly natural and sublimely nude complexion. Enriched with almost 40% of water (v.s. an averageof 20%) and natural softening Rose extracts, it melts into skin to provide 18-hour hydration. It has 10 times less powders, for weightless perfection and SPF 16 for UV protection. Complexion appears lit from within with a healthy glow. Spectacular results: Skin looks supple and luminous, yet non-shiny.

 Research has demonstrated that light is not only reflected on the surface. It is also re-emitted from deep within the skin. This is in SKIN’S INNER LIGHT. It is believed that 5% is reflected but 95% penetrates skin (epidermis and dermis) and which 55% is absorbed and 40% is re-emitted at the surface.

When light penetrates skin, it will transforms into a pinkish radiance because melanin and haemoglobin absorb mainly blue colours. Factors such as fatigue, dryness and aging occur, surface radiance is minimized, because light cannot reflect as well on an irregular texture. Inner light loses both intensity and purity as it is absorbed more by melanin, especially the bluish components.

Lush Shop : It took 10 years to research and 7 patents pending, Lancome boasts teint miracle is the 1st foundation to be able to recreate the 'aura' of natural looking perfect skin. The pink bioptic pigment found in Teint Miracle helps the skin emit more pink light giving your complexion a natural glow. The blue bioptic pigment to emit more bluish light that helps the skin look fresh and more pristine.

Teint Miracle contains the essence of light which is 5 times smaller than traditional mother of pearl, helps to maximize skin’s surface radiance without creating shiny finish.

As a make-up artist , I know that to create a base is almost the most important part of make-up. It is like creating the perfect canvas before you should start thinking of make up of the eyes, lips, etc.

Gone are the days where we should accept cakey, 'powdered' bases. Many of my make-up clients tell me that they can wear my make-up for 18 hours and the make-up is still as good as when I have just applied for them. Especially in our humid climate, it is hard for the foundation to stay on for long.

Teint Miracle is WATER-BASED. It is non-oily and non-comodegenic and contains 40% pure water (as opposed to 20% water component in other foundations). It is suitable for all skin types, even the most sensitive skin, thanks to Rose extract and glycerin  which benefit the skin. It is so easy to apply with its smooth texture and boy, does it stay on.

I still see many people with heavy make-up. By heavy I mean people would know that you have piled on layers and layers of foundation and powders. Teint Miracle gives you great coverage without the feeling like you are wearing a mask, because there are 10 times less powder fillers as compared to traditional foundation.

The most frustrating thing most of us go through while looking for the perfect foundation, would be looking for the perfect shade ,especially for Asian skintones. Teint Miracle which is available in Asia is manufactured in Japan and is especially catered for the us. Asian skin usually has a yellow undertone but you may have a slight pinkish tones. Great news for us, Teint Miracle has 7 shades which cater to a wide variety of skin tones.

There is SPF 16PA++ so you will never be worried of the harmful rays even if you forget or skip your sunscreen.

October's Recommendations! Latest!!!

Lush Shop is re-opened after a short break and I am back with new reviews of products for my very loyal readers and supporters. During this break, some of you might know I was in the states and Taipei. The harsh dry air in the airplane made my skin break out a little but all thanks to the huge jar of Dr Ci Labo's Aqua collagen gel , after one thick application before bed whenever I arrive at the hotels after flights, made my skin soft again and bringing the open pores back to normal again when I get up in the mornings. I shared this with one of my travelling companion during this trip and she has since become a convert to Dr Ci Labo's Aqua collagen gel!

Ok, I am sure many of you here who has started using the highly recommended Dr Ci Labo's Aqua Collagen Gel already knows how good it is. For those who are new here , you might refer my past posts check Dr Ci Labo here 1 and check Dr Ci Labo here 2. So I shall not talk about the same thing here on a new post.

Instead, I would like to share a few other products which I have only recently got acquainted with as I do not like to mix too many products at one time, if not it is hard to tell what or which ones are working for or against me.

These products are HUGE in Taipei. And when I say huge, I mean they are everywhere. On tv advertisements, being promoted by skin therapists on tv and they can be found at the upper class department stores. I had a good chat with their skin specialists and was told that these two products which I am about to share with you has been selling like hot cakes. We will soon find out how the taiwanese, like the Japanese, have soft, glowing white skin.

Here I present to you

 

Super White 377

A new brightening serum that offers outstanding whitening power with total gentleness to the skin.

'Dark spots' get darker and larger and they increase in numbers as the skin ages.When the skin is affected by environmental irritants as well as internal factors such as aging and hormonal changes. Dark spots appear when melanin pigment cannot be eliminated due to lack of normal skin renewal turnover (shedding of dead skin cells).

White 377 is a new brightening ingredient developed based on the polyphenol substance found in the European Red Pine, an evergreen coniferous tree together with 5 different whitening ingredients . White 377's power to inhibit the tyrosinase enzyme activity is 2,100 times that of hydroquinone, 7,000 times that of arbutin and 2,400 times that of either kojic acid or ascorbic acid sodium salt. It is unique that it barely irritates the skin while provides amazing brightening power.

*Tyrosinase activity inhibition test

The inhibtion of the tyrosinase enzyme activity was measured in the test. A greater clarity indicates greater power to suppress melanin production.

Lush Shop's review : Dark spots around my cheeks and nose area lightened after 14days of use.  Looks like I just had a diamond peel facial session at the salon. It is non-irritating and my super sensitive skin did not break out from using this ( I tend to break out whenever I use any whitening products). My face looks brighter as the overall skintone is lightened.

 Pore White Peel

 Pore White Peel combines citric acids and lactic acids to remove excess buildups of keratin on your epidermis. As you massage this gel onto your face it envelops your skin to lift off and remove keratin and dirt that does not come off with regular face washing. By removing layers of dead skin, you refresh your face and allow its normal cycle to continue unimpeded.

Contains a rich combination of beautifying vitamins to improve your skin's tone and to make your pores less noticeable.

Pore White Peel contains a rich combination of beautifying ingredients, including vitamin A and P for improving your skin's tone, vitamin H for preventing roughness, and VC-IP* (oil-soluble vitamin C derivative).

Lush Shop's Review: Many people I have spoken to are not sure why or who needs a peel. In fact, everyone would benefit from a peel. If we do not remove the dead skin cells that are build up, then that is where pores get clogged, and the horrible breakout follows. That being said, we do not need to spend hundreds and hundreds at the doctors to get chemical peel every now and then, not to mention about the downtime. My top pick for a gentle exfoliating massage gel would be this Pore White Peel.

It is so gentle that you do not feel any tightening of skin or a sudden breakout from harsh scrubs. This is really a mild chemical peel which is easy to use , inexpensive and can be used in the comfort of your home. It works by gently lifting the dirt and dead cells that are not removed by regular washing and the numerous vitamins found in the ingredients improves skin tones.

A must-have for those who like me, have avoided peels before. My pores now seem less noticeable without worrying about having a breakout from harsh exfoliating product.

3D- Deep Botolium

The wrinkles and lines give your skin a visibly older appearance. Our three-dimensional approach to softening and reducing the wrinkles and lines on your face is "3D-Deep Botolium" - a topically applied anti-ageing treatment. This cutting-edge skin care relaxes your expression lines to give your skin elasticity and a youthful feel all day long.

Three-dimensional permeation into your face's lines and wrinkles with a combination of 30% Botox alternatives and retinol.

Three Botox alternatives*1 make up 30% of 3D-Deep Botolium (the highest level in the beauty industry) to relax expression lines around trouble spots, such as the forehead, between the eyebrows, and around the mouth, and thereby reduce the prominence of lines and wrinkles. Deep lines are reduced to help you achieve a natural, youthful look. Furthermore, three types of retinol*2 work on shallow facial lines.

Directions : After skin has been cleansed and moisturized, apply 3D-Deep botolium on affeced areas or all over.  Apply by using a small amout on the tip of your finger and lightly tapping it against any wrinles or problem areas. When applying it to your entire face, spread it using the tips of your fingers.

Lush Shop's Review :  It feels like slowly injecting botox in your skin daily without actually having to go through the injecting process. Crow's feet and smile lines disappear quickly in a few days after using.

 3D-Deep Botolium Eye Sheet

 

 

"3D-Deep Botolium Eye Sheet" contains special sheets for the skin beneath your eyes, providing complex, anti-ageing care for those signs of age that you currently have to use makeup to hide. The gel inside each sheet includes a rich combination of beautifying ingredients to give the skin underneath your eyes a youthful appearance.

Treat the lines and furrows of age underneath your eyes to give your skin a firm, fresh appearance.

3D-Deep Botolium Eye Sheet is combined with palmitoyl hydrolyzed wheat protein to keep lines and furrows from developing in the skin beneath your eyes. It works on your expression lines and increases your skin's density. In addition, organogermanium and tourmaline are added to improve blood circulation and keep "bags" from forming underneath your eyes.

Lush Shop's Review : A must-have for all you party animals! Or for anyone who faces the computer screen daily or sleeps late. I can see a very drastic improvement in my eye bags and fine lines from sleeping late, staring at the computer screen, etc. Now I look much more refreshed without the heavy bags hanging.
