Never a dry moment with NIVEA’s In-Shower Skin Conditioner

Do you have skin that looks like THIS?

     

   

and feels like THIS?

   

Are you short on time for luxuries such as moisturising? Now you can moisturise before you even get out of the shower!

                   

NIVEA In-Shower Skin Conditioners are an easy and hassle-free way to moisturise your skin while in the shower. Designed to be used after shower gel, NIVEA In-Shower conditioners leave your skin feeling hydrated and silky soft, even after towel drying.

The In-Shower Conditioner instantly absorbs into the skin, leaving a nourishing and caring coating on the skin's surface to give your skin the moisture it needs. Say goodbye to the days of waiting around for your skin to absorb moisturiser after showering, plus with no greasy after-feeling you can slip clothes straight on and continue with your day!

Available for either normal to dry skin with Sea Minerals or Very Dry skin with rich nourishing Almond Oil, NIVEA In-Shower Body Lotion is the more convenient way to moisturise.

The white bottle is the Nivea In shower Body Moisturiser Normal 250ml which is for normal skin and the blue one is the Nivea In shower Body Moisturiser Dry 250ml for extremely dry skin.

Application is a breeze and works in four simple steps:

1. WASH - Cleanse with shower gel as usual and rinse off

2. APPLY – Stepping back from the shower stream, apply a generous amount of NIVEA In-Shower Body Lotion. You’ll be amazed how quickly it rubs in

3. RINSE – The caring formula will immediately be absorbed by your skin and then you can rinse off

4. READY– Dry off and you can get dressed immediately!

I believe that Nivea has released a miracle that works wonders on your skin. I tried the blue one which is for very dry skin.

Why choose the blue one? 

• Silky, soft skin feeling
• With Almond Oil
• Free of artificial colours and silicons
• Skin compatibility dermatologically proven
• For dry skin

I simply adore this product.I honestly gave up on baby-soft and moisturised skin as I have tried so many well- known moisturisers and I thought that this would just be a gimmicky product that would only gunk up my shower and make it slippery but it is amazing. It truly sinks in the second it hits your skin and makes it a lot more tempting to moisturise places such as your back and neck which are usually missed with regular lotion due to the difficulty reaching in and thorougly rubbing the lotion into these places, somehow the combination of this product and the water on your skin make it slide on perfectly and then a quick rinse and you are done - no greasy stuff sticking to your clothes you can get dressed instantenously without waiting for your lotion to absorb. 

 It leaves my skin so super soft after i come out the shower and believe it or not I sure got rid of my spots that i had on my back. i used to have a little bit of acne and loads of scars before I bought this moisturizer.In addition to that, the in-shower skin conditioner also come with moisurising properties that help repair up to 10 dry and damaged skin signs, namely dryness, dullness, roughness, peeling, itchy, flaky, scratched, stressed tight and unsmooth skin.

The bottle is still going and I'm still loving it...and apparently I smell great! My friends keep telling me how great I smell (I don't know why they were smelling me...) and the only "scent" I was wearing was this! What an awesome side-effect! I've also discovered how to make it go even further - I spread it on my top half, rub my hands over everywhere I've already put it and there's enough to do my legs as well. I use this everyday in the shower and it takes barely any time at all out of my super-busy morning routine and my skin feels soft 24/7. I will be using this forever. I love it and I am pretty sure that you would love it too.

Fairy Beauty Fairy Whitez @ hishop.my

Stepping back into the hot, humid weather in Malaysia, I experienced my first few drops of sweat after FOUR Months of being in China! Before going, I kept worrying about the dry weather in Beijing and how it was going to make my skin scaly, make my hair unhealthy but not until I found this superhero. I would like to introduce *drumroll*  FAIRYWHITEZ!

Have you ever wondered how and why your skin ages? It all starts when your body loses collagen. So, it is here!  A beauty drink that is not only an anti-aging formula but it also lightens your skin rapidly. Fairy whitez will help restore dull, dry, wrinkled and sagging skin and is specially formulated to revive a young, transluscent, happy-skin!

What does Fairy Whitez contain?

~ Mulberry (I am sure many of you have sang to "Here we go round the mulberry bush, the mulberry bush, the mulberry bush...so early in the morning " without knowing what a mulberry looks like.. )

~ Lingonberry

~ L- Glutathioneou

 L-Glutathione (Tathion,) is a naturally occuring compund which has demonstrated that it is effective in fighting cancer, environmental poisons, and even cataracts. Sound like snake oil? Well, that is what I thought until I started doing research. It turns out that L-Glutathione is one of the most effective antioxidants that our body produces. It works to protect our bodies from the thousands of daily hazards that we are exposed to such as pollution, second hand smoke, alcohol, and food chemicals and poisons. In fact, it is so effective that some researchers believe that it can actually slow down the aging process.

~ Kiwi seed extract

~ Salmon placenta

~ Collagen 

Collagen is a part of the connective tissue that in the skin helps in firmness, suppleness and constant renewal of skin cells. Collagen is vital for skin elasticity.With age, collagen production slows and the cells structures weaken. The skin gets thinner and is easier to damage, hair gets lifeless, skin sags and wrinkles, tendons and ligaments become less elastic, joints get stiff etc.

~ Artichoke

The main benefits of Fairywhitez are toxin elimination, repair , nourishment , and protection.

In 4 weeks, you'll be able to see that your skin tone is brighter and lighter, your pigmentation reduced, no more popping pimples or acne, and your skin is always hydrated and moist.

History of how I was introduced to this product. I won it in a giveaway by Miss Illy Ariffin and have continued using it ever since as the results are tremendously wonderful! I have to say, I am very happy and recently purchased 4 more boxes  and I am recommending it to my mother too!  The price is RM89 per box (10 bottles per box) , but with constant discounts that hishop.my (http://www.hishop.my )gives, I managed to get 2 boxes for RM 124.30, plus when you purchase 2 boxes, you get four bottles worth RM35.60 for FREE. I would recommend that you buy this product from hishop.my as they not only provide free delivery when you purchase items above RM50, but they deliver super fast. I received my parcel two days after payment!

Give this product a try, beautylicious people and I am sure you would be very happy with the results.

P/S: For our muslim friends, fret not... because it is a 'halal' product =)

Have a wonderful week ahead !!

Home Remedies To Get Rid Of Dandruff

Dream of healthy, shiny, bouncy and luscious hair? Want your crown to look beautiful in your next photoshoot? Got a date this weekend? KEEP CALM AND STOP SUFFERING FROM SHOULDER SNOW!

Before giving you the remedies of dandruff, have you ever sat down and wondered..."what is dandruff"?Dandruff is NOT REALLY a  major scalp disorder that affects our hair. In fact, dandruff is actually small pieces or flakes of dead skin in a person's hair. Here are some causes of dandruff:

"Whats the worst part", you ask? Even after using costly shampoo and treatments we still don’t find a solution for it . Here are the list of  some good remedies for dandruff that have been passed down in my family and are guaranteed to work!

1 Neem leaves-

It fights the dandruff and it works as an antiseptic, Blend the leaves and apply the paste on the scalp to treat dandruff.

2 Eggs-

It is a very good conditioner for the hair, all you have to do it is just break two eggs and apply it on your scalp for about half an hour.

P/S: you can also add brandy if you want better results

3 Heena- and beetroot leaves-

Crush the beetroot leaves and mix them in heena powder (can be obtained easily in grocery stores), now make a paste and then apply it on your scalp .

4 Apple juice-

Blend an apple or two (preferably green as it has more acid) Apply apple juice on your scalp and massage your head. Leave the mixture for 5 to 10 min on your scalp before washing your hair.

5 Onion paste-

Make an onion paste by blending an onion and apply it on your scalp, dry it for an hour and then wash your hair normally.

6 Rosemary and coconut oil-

Make the mixtures of both the oils and apply it. Leave for 20 minutes and wash off with shampoo.

7 Olive oil  -

Apply olive oil on the scalp in Circular Motion before bed. For better results, warm the oil in a microwave for a few seconds, towel wrap your hair the whole night and wash off the next day.

8 Tea tree oil -

Apply it  to your Scalp Directly or add a few drops in your shampoo. It not only removes the dandruff but it also smells really nice.

Hope you found these remedies useful! My personal favourite are the olive oil and eggs. Happy getting rid of dandruff! Let me know if these remedies work!

Crabtree & Evelyn Typewriter Project : Men’s Grooming – West Indian Lime

My male friends are always grumbling that blog posts, beauty bags, magazine articles and beauty tips nowadays are only about WOMEN. Have we all forgotten about the male species? I hope not.

Crabtree and Evelyn has a blooming range of men's skin care products that are wonderful! The West Indian Lime does not only have such a sexy and exotic name but it really does live up to its name! With its masculine scent and its beautiful texture,it is a definite choice for a Valentine's Day gift, birthday or anniversary gift or....even if you just want your man to have that sexilicious smell! RAWR! This British West Indian Lime reveals a zesty smell of freshly picked lime and vetiver. Limes? I've heard.But  'vetiver'??

Just in case you have never heard of vetiver, it is also commonly known as perennial grass of the Poacea family,native to India. The best features of the vetiver is the aromatic verdancy, the fragrant rootiness, the refreshing citrusiness and a wonderful hint of woodliness.The oil is one of the finest oriental perfumes with a persistent fragrance and is known for its cooling properties.

  

In the West Indian Lime range, I would like to highlight these 3 products. The set of three soaps, the body wash and the cologne.                             

BODY WASH (300ML) A zesty body wash which creates a rich lather that cleanses and deodorizes with a refreshing blend of lime, ginger and vetiver.The West Indian Lime body wash is sleekly designed in a sophisticated tinted glass bottles and has a very unique smell that will definitely enliven and awaken your senses especially after a tired day at work. Contains glycerine for added moisture Naturally deodorising lime, ginger root, and vetiver extracts Formulated without parabens, colour, phthalates, mineral oil, or propylene glycol Lather up for a refreshing shower or bath, and follow with the West Indian Lime Cologne for an invigorating and energising scent. Fragrance: Fresh limes and vetiver blended with nutmeg, ginger, coriander, and juniper Personally, this body wash is special. It doesn't dry skin and  feels great. It is extremely thick and a dime size can be used for my whole body. This bottle will last about 6 months just using a pea-size amount. Here is the great part, the scent! It smells great! Its that office kind of smell that smells professional and clean, not over powering but manly clean. The best part about this is that not many others have this scent. Unique! The scent lasts for about 4 to 5 hours before it starts to ease off. Give it a try! Retail Price: RM78

SET OF THREE SOAPS (3 X 150g) These triple milled soaps are luxuriously moisturizing and scented with the distinctively zesty West Indian Lime fragrance. Discover the invigorating experience of cleansing with the rich-lathering Triple Milled Soap, which will moisturise and condition your skin while surrounding you with an energising scent inspired by fresh limes and spices from the British West Indies. Vegetable-base formula gently cleanses Glycerine for added moisture Contains antioxidant-rich vitamin E Formulated without parabens, colour, phthalates, mineral oil, or propylene glycol Lather up for a refreshing shower or bath, and follow with the West Indian Lime Cologne for an invigorating and energising scent. Fragrance: Fresh limes and vetiver blended with nutmeg, ginger, coriander, and juniper Retail Price: RM98

COLOGNE (100ML) Sophisticated cologne inspired by the ingredient rich West Indies, composed of notes of fresh limes, vetiver, nutmeg, ginger and coriander and blended with deep base notes of woody musk. A classic fragrance that can be worn both day and night Blends cool and refreshing accords of lime and citrus with warm spices and woods Formulated without colour, mineral oil, parabens, phthalates or propylene glycol Don't expect this to be the average aftershave lime splash, as instead of putting the usual mixed citrus accord on top, they put tart, fresh smelling lime, and a bit of vetiver to spice things up. Underneath that you'll find some ginger and a floor of mellow sandalwood. Now, vetiver is something I personally don't think too highly of -- used in excess, it makes a scent smell like bug-spray. Here, it's about enough to make this smell a bit like a modern "sports scent" as well as a classic chypre. Longevity is about 4-5 hours, great for a citrus scent. Fresh clean vibrant with a muskiness of an old pirate ship, sensual, but not heavy, or overpowering. just right for when you do not want to wear a perfume, but, enough to be noticed and not be overwhelmed. Strongly recommended! Retail Price: RM148
