Product Review: LUS Foot Exfoliating Peeling Sheet

I have tried the LUS Foot Exfoliating Peeling Sheet provided by Supermodel's Secret and would like to share with you the interesting process that I experienced. Earlier, I reviewed LUS Wine Foot Pack. 


When I tried this LUS Foot Exfoliating Peeling Sheet, I did not expect that it would be so interesting.

LUS Foot Exfoliating Peeling Sheet contains natural plant extracts which have high moisturising effect so your feet will still be smooth and supple even though the skin are peeling off. You need to use it once in every two to three months to maintain smooth heels.

The LUS Exfoliating Peeling Sheet will benefit those with the following concerns:

Unsightly Dead Skin
Cracked Callus Heels
Chapped Feet
Odour Feet 


What I like about this product
1. Easy to use
2. You can still walk around when using this mask
3. Effective in removing dead skin
 
What I dislike
1. Has alcohol smell
2. Will caused your nail polish to stain on the mask

There are 2 sets in one box

Before photo - My heel has very thick dead skin and the skin constantly cracks, very unsightly indeed

DAY 1

Wrap your feet for 2 hours

Day 3 

During the process, about the 3rd day

DAY 4

Your skin starts to peel off but there is no pain

DAY 7

After photo - Can you see the difference?

If you have problems such as cracked callus heels and chapped feet, you can give LUS Exfoliating Peeling Sheets a try. 

You can purchase LUS products from all SaSa Malaysia stores or online at (WWW.SUPERMODELS-SECRETS.COM.MY). 

Price: RM48 per box – 2 sets of masks


Product Rating: 4/5

Happy Trying!

Product Review: Clinique Repairwear Laser Focus Wrinkle and UV Damage Corrector

Dear Friends


Hope you had a wonderful Christmas yesterday. I had a gastronomical feast yesterday at the Pearl of Orient i.e. Penang Island. But that will be for another post.


I had been wanting to share with you another serum that I like but had been procrastinating a lot. Since it is a holiday today, I have decided to do a review.


I bought the Clinique Laser Focus serum after reading a review by another blogger and hearing good testimonies by Juli, a blogger friend. I have finished using the bottle and wanted to repurchase this but delayed my repurchase due to too many unopened serums that I still have in my beauty shelf. However, I will definitely repurchase some time next year.

See the watery texture

Product Description
Potent serum gives every skin a second chance against lines, wrinkles, sun damage. In 4 weeks, see obvious reduction in lines, wrinkles, improved texture. At 12 weeks, the visible wrinkle-reducing power is remarkably close to a dermatological laser procedure. 63%, to be exact. Different commitment, different results. And yet impressive results guaranteed.


Ingredients:
Water, Dimethicone, Butylene Glycol, Polysorbate 20, Methyl Trimethicone, Vinyl Dimethicone/Methicone Silsesquioxane Crosspolymer, Bis-PEG-18 Methyl Ether Dimethyl Silane, Glycerin, Silica,Polymethylsilsesquioxiane, Lauryl PEG-9 Polydimethylsiloxyethyl Dimethicone, Methyl Gluceth-20, Polysilicone-11, Sigesbeckia Orientalis (St. Paul’s Wort) Extract, Retinyl Palmitate, Plankton Extract, Punica Granatum (Pomegranate) Juice Extract, Arabidopsis Thaliana Extract, Sea Whip Extract, Whey Protein/Lactis Protein/Proteine Du Petit-Lait, Pinanediol, Camphanediol, Glycine Soja (Soybean) Protein, Ergothioneine, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Caffeine, Micrococcus Lysate, Palmitoyl Oligopeptide, Anthemis Nobilis (Chamomile), Linoleic Acid, Sodium Mannose Phosphate, Ethylhexylglycerin, Caprylyl Glycol, Carbomer,Glyceryl Polymethacrylate, Cholesterol, Aminopropyl Ascorbyl Phosphate,Hyaluronic Acid, Sodium Hyaluronate, Tocopheryl Acetate, PEG-8, Xanthan Gum, Sodium Citrate, Sodium Carbomer, Disodium EDTA, Phenoxyethanol.


What I like
1. The serum has a smooth texture and spreads easily. It absorbs easily too. The texture is quite similar to Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair (ANR) but it does more work than ANR.
2. It has no fragrance and no color and not oily at all
3. I like Clinique Laser Focus better than ANR because it can be applied at the eye area. Most serum cannot be used at the eye area.
4. Fine lines around my eyes appear less visible
5. The pump dispenser allows you to get accurate amount of product
6. It hydrates my skin well and my complexion looks clearer


Although this serum has not erased all my fine lines, I believe that consistent use will reduce the appearance of new lines.


What I Dislike
None at the moment


The Clinique Laser Focus retails at RM200 for 30ml. It is much cheaper in Singapore Airport.


My overall Rating: 4/5


Happy Holiday!

Merry Christmas 2011

Dear Friends


Here is to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2012!


Christmas season is the most celebrated season. The atmosphere of Christmas can be felt in most places especially in the malls. Christmas was the day Baby Jesus was born some 2000 years ago. He is the Son of God born of a virgin named Mary. Christ was born to save the world from eternal death. Hence, He is the gift from God that whoever receive Him will have eternal life. This is my simple explaination of the Christian faith but I think online Christian colleges teach more on this subject.


This Christmas is very special for me because I have received an answered prayer. Indeed I want to praise the Lord Jesus for His great blessing for me.  

Just to show you some of my pictures taken in the mall.

This is a lovely Christmas present that I received

Hope you will find the true meaning of Christmas!

Nail Art: Lav 024 Christmas Nail Art - Classic French Manicure for Christmas 2011

French Manicure is my personal favourite among the many types of manicure. I love french manicure because it is looks classy and "expensive". At least for me, I think that sporting a French Manicure makes my hands look clean and posche. These are only my personal view. It may not necessary be true. Some girls just do not like French Manicure. Maybe I appreciate French Manicure more because of its name. Anything "French" seems interesting and has a different class. I learnt to speak French a decade ago and have returned all to my teacher who is a Chinese.In French, all items have a gender, either male or female. In this case, I really don't know whether Nail Polish is male or female? Maybe it is male, that's why we keep buying them..ha..ha.. anyone can tell us please?

Now, lets look at the French Manicure that I did a few weeks ago. I did it with free hand as I feel that it is easier. You can use a guiding tape if you like but I think it is a bit messy.

French Manicure can suit all occasions whether it is Christmas, New Year, Valentine's Day or any day. You do not have to worry about whether it can match your dress color or bag etc. It can never be out of fashion (At least I think so).

I have recently filed my nails in a squarish shape so that my french manicure will look nicer.

Items used , Essie, OPI (top and base), Sally Hansen French White

I have done another French Manicure with flower earlier. (Click the bold letters if you are interested to see).

I have other Christmas Nail Art ideas here too.

Have a lovely day!
