With Sunsilk - No more Afternoon Hair Slump

Dear Readers

I am excited to share with you yet another event that I have attended recently. The Sunsilk event was held at Croisette Cafe at Cascadium Condominium, Bangsar. This place is located near Bangsar Shopping Centre. I had no problem finding the location but parking was another story that I shall not elaborate here.


Croisette Cafe has a homely ambience. Nothing flamboyant but nice environment.
We were served with healthy food (except the tiramisu almond cake which I love) made from the ingredients such as olive oil, olive, almond, coconut jelly etc. Some of the ingredients are found in Sunsilk hair care range.


 


 






 
 
I must praise the PR company for the interesting line up of activities for the afternoon. Our session began with something like a cooking class except we don't cook. We were taught how to make our own brown sugar body scrub using various oil such as camelia, coconut, almond, jojoba etc. I have finished using the scrub and find that it is effective in removing dead skin albeit a little oily. It also stained the bathroom floor which entails some cleaning which I dislike.  


These are the oil that we used to make the scrub. Sunsilk shampoo uses the same oil too!
My scrub was made with jojoba and almond oil
Bloggers busy mixing their concoction
Jess and Juli were very pleased with their home made body scrub!
We had a guest fashion consultant who explained the type of outfit that will suit long, short, curly, colored or black hair. It was an interesting session. I never thought of matching my outfit with my hair. 



We had a session where we had to smell and taste the oil to determine its name. For me, this is a very interesting game. Our team got the correct answer after 2 tries. 


That afternoon, we were introduced with the new Sunsilk range formulated by it’s hair experts, Thomas Taw and Yuko Yamashita. The new Nourishing Soft & Smooth and improved Smooth & Manageable are now infused with the miracle blend of five natural oils. 


We were also introduced with a new terminology (it's new for me) - "An Afternoon Hair Slump"

The Sunsilk representative illustrates an Afternoon Hair Slump as follows:
"You start off your day with great looking hair, but as the day goes by, your hair loses its gleam and you fall into an ‘afternoon hair slump’. Your hair falls flat, becomes dull and so does your spirits for the rest of the day."

The following are information on Sunsilk’s Nourishing Soft and Smooth and Sunsilk’s Smooth and Manageable. Read on for more information about these 2 hair care range.  

Sunsilk’s Nourishing Soft and Smooth
The Nourishing Soft & Smooth variant aims to combat dry hair by keeping your mane well-nourished for a longer period of time and creating a protective barrier through a blend of five natural oils. The oils used in this range are Moroccan Argan Oil, Camelia Oil, Almond Oil, Babbasu Oil and Coconut Oil

 

Steps to use
Nourishing Soft & Smooth Shampoo
The first step to caring for your mane begins with the shampoo. Lather, rinse and repeat are three simple steps to remember when using the shampoo, which cleanses and softens dry hair.
Nourishing Soft & Smooth Conditioner
Apply the conditioner from mid hair length all the way to your ends and rinse. This conditioner locks in moisture while smoothing cuticles and replenishing nutrients and proteins in the hair fibre. It also detangles and makes hair silky and soft.
Intensive Treatment Mask
Massage this mask through your hair, leave it on for five minutes and rinse through. This intensive treatment mask should be used at least once a week for a deeply nourishing treat. It penetrates and restore each hair strand, leaving it soft and smooth.
Nourishing Spray
The nourishing spray which is infused with a combination of Moroccan Argan Oil and Babassu Oil with moisturising cream gives you soft and smooth hair in just two steps. Two shakes, to mix together the nourishing layers and Two sprays on wet or dry hair, to give you instant moisture.

How does it feel to be K.I.S.S.ed by Kinerase?

Dear Friends

How have you been lately? I have been very busy at work but managed to attend several interesting beauty events. Thanks to Tammy of Plusize Kitten who has invited me to the K.I.S.S.ed by Kinerase event at La Bodega, Bangsar.

 

It was an awesome event. I did not expect that I would be K.I.S.S.ed by Kinerase but Kinerase had actually "kissed" me on my hand and I love the kiss. who wouldn't?




We were requested to dress in blue and I was amazed that a girl actually wore a blue wig!!


It was such a happening event! Basically, we had everything in blue.We were served with blue lip-shaped jelly that tasted yummy! I had 2 of them. 
 

The blue coconut cocktail drink was refreshing too.

There were many bloggers at the party. The whole place was bustling with activities. There was a makeup corner where the makeup artists helped bloggers to paint their lips blue and put blue eye shadow. At the tatoo corner, bloggers were being tatooed with the Blue lips. At the photograph corner, bloggers were busy having their polaroid pictures taken. At the floor, bloggers were seen consulting Kinerase staff with the product range. Some bloggers were busy cathing up and some were busy taking pictures.

Finally, we arrived at the highlight of the event where we had 3 panelists sharing with us their product knowledge and experience with Kinerase.

I believe that it is every woman's dream to have flawless and wrinkle free skin thoughout her life time. It may seemed too much to ask for but with the advancement of the science of skin, Kinerase is confident that they can make every woman's dream a step closer to reality. Although fine lines and wrinkles cannot be completely eliminated as we mature, we can make extra effort to delay the appearance of fine lines.

The Kinerase Promise
Kinerase is a skincare product that has a secret ingredient called Kinetin or scientifically known as N6-furfuryladenine (such a mouthful!). Kinerase is the only professional skincare line that contains optimal concentration of Kinetin which is a bio-growth factor that delays and prevents the onset of aging. Kinetin is clinically proven to improve the various signs of photo aging and also improve the skin's ability to maintain more moisture. Kinerase is suitable for sensitive skin including rosacea and can be used to nurture delicate skin after aesthetic procedures. Through the Kinerase Innovative Skincare Study (K.I.S.S), 76% of all patients showed improvement in skin roughness, mottling, blotchiness, pigmentation and fine wrinkles as early as 4 weeks!

Kinetin is found naturally in plant such as coconut milk and carrot root but one has to consume very large quantity to see significant improvement on the skin.

During the event, I had a chat with Amy Zheng (Kinerase Regional Marketing Director) and found out that the Kinerase skincare that is available on the SkincareRx website are of different formulation. Kinerase for Asian market is manufactured in Singapore by Invida Private Ltd. Therefore, the formulation is specifically designed for Asian skin and Asian climate. 

Where to find Kinerase products in Malaysia?
Kinerase is available at dermatologist and aesthetic clinics in Malaysia. So, for Asian customers, you are recommended to browse www.kineraseasia.com.my for the clinics nearest to you.
