Kose Sekkisei Lotion

SPONSORED POST

Ever dream of the perfect baby smooth and fairer skin? Then you must hold your horses and read this post! Your favorite drama and social media can wait!

If you have been following my blog, I like to try out new beauty products especially skincare. Previously I blogged about my beauty regime and found out I actually apply 10 skincare products on my face everyday! Now make it 11! Because I have another addition to the family! Say hello to Sekkisei Lotion from KOSE!


I was super excited when Kose invited me to the workshop of their new Sekkisei Lotion! Which beauty junkie won't get high when they are invited to beauty workshop?!

H-O-M-A-I-G-A-W-D ! ! !

I was allowed to bring 2 friends, so the first 2 person who came to my mind were Sharon and Kelle. But Sharon decided to dump me last minute *death stare* So it was just me and Kelle!


We were given some explanations about the importance of skincare and introduction to KOSE products by their trainer. 

Do not disturb me!  I'm trying very hard to take in all the information!

And finally the workshop started! *rub hands*



Please excuse my Ah Lian hair.


The trainer instructed us to take a cherry size of cleansing cream from the jar. I think we were too kiasu and took a durian size instead. We ended up with too much cleansing cream on our face, we looked like birthday cakes with too much icing LOL!

Birthday cakes.

Kelle and the trainer giving instructions behind.


We were told that emulsion is a softer option of toner. Most toner contains alcohol and it will thin our skin!



Pour the Sekkisei lotion into the cap and dunk a tablet mask inside.

The tablet mask will rise up after absorbing all the lotion!

Waiting for the lotion to work it's magic!

BOO!

After removal of the mask, my skin felt instantly fairer! For real! And it was smoother and firmer! Love the cooling feeling too!

Here is a simple step by step guide for a better understanding on how to use the Sekkisei Lotion mask!


Shine bright like a diamond!

Here are the 9 benefits of Sekkisei Lotion. 9 benefits OMG!

- Translucency
- Penetration
- Moisturizing
- '0' Pores
- Whitening
- Smoothing
- Firming
- Relaxing
- Evenness


KOSE gave each of us a goodie bag filled with the Sekkisei Lotion Pocket Masks and 4 travel size skincare products! Rejoice!



Tried KOSE lotion mask again the next day. I could see a huge difference on my eye area! It was instantly brighten and didn't look so tiring! Note: I have zero make up on, my face was completely naked. I don't understand why some people put on full face of heavy make up to review skincare products. It's like lying straight in your face =___=




Allow me to give you some educational facts about this Sekkisei Lotion =)

1) Based on a “beautiful translucent skin recipe”, the  items are carefully selected out of approximately 100 types of oriental plants. A lotion that creates fine-textured, hydrated, translucent skin like snow, using the hydrating power of gentle oriental plant extracts.

2) Balances  the skin’s moisture levels, preventing dullness, roughness, and pimples caused by dryness, as well as redness caused by sunburn from sunlight, or by the sun’s reflection in snowy areas.

3) The cloudy white lotion blends instantly into the skin, just like melting snow, creating fine-textured, plump skin. With a refreshing, light sensation, the lotion leaves the surface of the skin feeling silky smooth, yet hydrated. Your skin regains its natural pure translucency down to your pores.

4) Can be used on your face, neck and body!

The main ingredients in the lotion are all oriental plant extracts!




1)    Coix Seed Extract effects suchs as increased metabolism, whitening, moisturization and prevention of skin roughness.
2)    Angelica Extract have disinfectant, whitening and moisturizing effects.
3)    Melothria (White Lotus) extract suppress melanin production has whitening effects on the skin.

Vibrance Kegel Device.

SPONSORED POST

I didn’t know how important Kegel  exercise is until I was invited to attend the Vibrance Kegel Device & Exercise event at MYoga, The Gardens last Saturday, in conjunction with the International Woman’s Day.



It’s certainly not easy to be a woman. Unlike woman back then where they stayed at home just by taking care of the family. Woman nowadays need to work like a man and also expected to take care of the family after work. You see, woman go through a lot of stages in life. First, we have our period, our body changes. Then we get pregnant and our body changes further after that. Lastly, we have menopause and our body changes drastically. ESPECIALLY the southern area where we have quite a lot of activity every month and perhaps every day *if you know what I mean* It’s even more drastic when we need to give birth. As what people describe it, it’s like a huge train trying to squeeze its way out of a mini tunnel *horror*


Therefore, we need to give a lot of TLC to our southern area. Hence, the Kegel exercise! Here is the importance of Kegel exercise which I found pretty amusing *start doing Kegel right away*

1. STRENGTHEN PELVIC FLOOR MUSCLE




2. BETTER SEX LIFE (Have I gotten your attention yet?)

Improve your enjoyment of love making and the sensations of your sexual response. Women with
strengthened pelvic floor muscles are more likely to be orgasmic and have a more satisfying sex life, woohoo!




3. HEALTHY PREGNANCY (Attention to all mothers and mothers-to-be)

Support a healthy pregnancy, successful birth and minimise any post-partum problems. For pregnant women this exercise helps the body to cope with the increasing weight of the baby. Healthy, fit muscles will also recover more steadily after the birth.



4. BETTER BLADDER CONTROL

Minimising problems with urine leakage or 'urinary stress incontinence'
No more asking for the toilet every 20 minutes while you’re at the highway and pissing off your boyfriend / husband =P



5. TONE ABDOMEN AND SUPPORT SPINE, PREVENT BACKACHE (Need I say more?)



Starting a family is in my agenda in the years ahead, so I’m thankful that Vibrance opened up my eyes about Kegel exercise. If you’re a noob like me on how to do Kegel exercise, because you might be just squeezing your butt cheeks instead of your pelvic floor muscle. That’s why you need this Kegel device!


It looks like a vibrator but it is NOT a vibrator even though it vibrates =_= (am I convincing enough?) Well, you just need to insert the sheath into your southern region and if you’re squeezing the right muscle, the device will vibrate! It’s rubbery and soft so you don’t have to worry about feeling uncomfortable. All you need to do is holding it for 5 seconds and letting go for 5 seconds for 24 sets. After that, do another 24 sets of holding on for 2 seconds and letting go for 2 seconds. The process takes just about 5 minutes! Do it twice a day, once in the morning and once at night, that’s all for healthy pelvic floor muscle! How easy!

The event started off with an hour of yoga. It was fun! I learned a few poses on how to ease menstrual cramp and backache. I’m so doing it because I have severe menstrual cramp every month =(







Look who came with me! Good thing is to be shared! Exercise is 10 times the fun when you drag your crazy friend along!


With the rest of the attendees =) Thanks Nuffnang for the photo!

After an hour of yoga, we proceeded to hear about the benefits of Kegel exercise and the device by Vibrance.


We also had a motivational talk about self-branding by KD Ismalasari.


We were given a stack of sheets to fill in about how we would like to brand ourselves. This was how Sharon branded me.  All of us had to share what we wrote and everyone laughed when I said I’m a narcist LOL.





Sometimes it’s good to do some self-discovery/motivating exercise like this, so we can know more about ourselves and find ways to improve =)

Oh! We were given a box full of rolled up papers with motivational quotes. How sweet =)


Audrey, well known as Four Feet Nine, the famous blogger in Malaysia also shared about her experience with Vibrance Kegel Device after the birth of her son. She is sooooooooo tiny you wouldn’t believe she just given birth OMG. Even with my short height of 5 feet 2 I look like a giant next to her O_o




Door gifts! Woohoo! I’m hugging the pillow now while typing this post =) And we got 3 days pass to MYoga! Thank you Vibrance!

The Battle of Sleeping Masks.

Have you ever fell asleep while doing mask? Do you know it's not advisable to sleep with the mask on because the sheet mask will retract all the goodness that has been absorbed by your skin? If you have this habit, then I suggest you to stock in sleeping mask. Whoever that invented sleeping mask, I worship you! Thank you for your life saving invention! So when you are lazy but yet you want to nourish your skin, slap on sleeping mask!

Here are the sleeping masks that I've tried and lets see how good they are!

ETUDE HOUSE BLENDING SLEEPING CREAM

I super love this packaging. Basically I got suck in by this product because of the packaging, and so I bought the whole range =_= Look at all the colors! Who can resist?!




And it's the shape of a spoon! How cute!

Break the handle of the spoon to stir the mask.


DIAMOND INTEREST SNAIL AQUA SLEEP CREAM


I love the convenience of this air pump jar. It's more hygienic and convenient. Instead of dipping your fingers into the jar for the mask, you just press the top of the jar to dispense the amount of mask that you need. No transferring any bacteria from your finger into the mask!




LANEIGE FIRMING SLEEPING PACK


The texture of this mask is like cream gel. But the magic of it is when you dig out a small portion of the mask from the jar, you can see the mask slowly go back to the original smooth state. Once you apply the cream gel mask onto your skin, it melts like ice-cream! It become watery and easily absorbed into the skin.



My verdict?
