Review Vivelle Spa System Essence Face Mask in White Tea Collagen

Assalamualaikum

Review Vivelle Spa System Essence Face Mask in White Tea Collagen


Untuk sebuah nama masker biasa dengan harga kisaran mungkin Rp. 10.000,00 - an, nama ini cukup panjang.  Mengapa saya hanya mengira harganya demikian? Karena saya memperoleh masker ini secara cuma - cuma hasil dari pembelian lulur Vivelle Spa System juga yang InsyaAllah di kesempatan berikutnya juga akan saya review.
Kali ini saya mereview dalam BAHASA, karena saya merasa kemampuan grammar saya di English cukup menurun tajam setelah bertahun - tahun tidak terolah dengan baik, terkikis oleh dunia textbook macam farmakologi dan anatomi. Ini juga merupakan implementasi saya dalam menggunakan EYD (Ejaan Yang Disempurnakan) dengan benar. Hehehe

Baiklah, mari kita awali dengan Bismillah :D

Dari kemasan, bisa didapatkan sejumlah informasi tentang apa yang ada di dalamnya. Berikut foto - foto dan sedikit penjelasan.





Vivelle Spa Systeme Essence Face Mask : Brightening, rejuvenating, nourishing skin. 
Vivelle Spa Systeme Beauty Face Mask dengan formulasi unik yang mengandung natural essences, membantu penyerapan nutrisi dan embun air ke kulit muka. Berfungsi mempercepat metabolisme kulit, mencegah kerutan halus, melembabkan kulit, serta membuat kulit tampak lebih putih, elastis, segar, dan cerah. Manfaat dari masker akan terasa setelah pemakaian yang teratur.
Untuk menjaga agar kulit terasa fit senantiasa, gunakan masker 2 kali seminggu. Untuk mendapatkan hasil terbaik, gunakan masker setiap hari. 


Bahan aktif : White Tea Extract membuat kulit tampak lebih putih, juga mempercepat regenerasi sel-sel kulit baru hingga keremajaan wajah terjaga. Pure Collagen mempercepat metabolisme kulit, menghilangkan kerutan halus, memperbaiki fungsi kelembaban kulit, mengembalikan kompleksi dan elastisitas kulit. 


Warning : contain alcohol ternyata :( 
 
Pertanyaan pertama yang saya dapatkan ketika membuka kemasan face mask ini adalah, berapa isi sheet dari masker ini?
Karena dari luar, teraba komposisi di dalam kemasan tebal dan seperti berlembar - lembar, jadi saya kira terdapat 2 pak masker dalam bentuk lembaran. Lalu saya buka dengan gunting di bagian terbawah dari kemasan.
Ternyata baunya sangat harum, khas seperti layaknya wangi di pusat perawatan kecantikan ternama *halah tetapi lebih strong. Entahlah ini karena kandungan parfum yang banyak atau memang bau White Tea adalah seperti ini. Berdasarkan sumber yang saya dapat dari website ini, berikut penjabaran kegunaan White Tea

Dari berbagai jenis teh yang beredar, Teh putih (white tea) disinyalir dapat berfungsi sebagai Antioksidan yang baik dalam menetralkan dampak radikal bebas dalam tubuh.
Tanpa disadari radikal bebas dapat masuk ke tubuh kita melalui teriknya matahari saat kita beraktivitas diluar ruangan. Ini dikarenakan radikal bebas mengambil elektron dari sel kulit sampai sel tersebut mati.
Asap rokok, sering makan makanan yang digoreng dan polutan lain dapat menyebabkan kulit bertambah kusam. Jika dibiarkan kulit akan rusak dan mengalami penuaan dini dan jika tubuh kita mendapatkan cukup antioksidan, fungsi kekebalan sel-sel kulit pun dapat meningkat.
White tea (teh putih) merupakan jenis teh yang memiliki kadar antioksidan tinggi, karena hanya melalui sedikit proses pengolahan dibandingkan dengan teh lainnya. White tea diambil hanya dari kuncup daun pilihan yang dipetik sebelum benar-benar mekar, sehingga kandungan katekin (antioksidan) pada white tea berada pada kondisi terbaik.


Itu adalah ulasan objektif dari berbagai sumber dan fakta yang beredar. Dan, berikut ini adalah opini saya :

PRICE : Sekitar Rp. 10.000,00 , sangat murah = 5/5

PACKAGE : Kemasannya memang mini, namun maskernya tebal, yang kurang saya sukai dari bentuk kemasan lembar masker sendiri adalah, susah ketika membuka lipatannya yang rapi. Sedikit ketakutan ketika membuka lembarannya, esensi dari kandungan White Tea akan berkurang. Tetapi, secara keseluruhan, ini adalah face mask pertama dalam bentuk sheet yang pernah saya pakai = 4/5

POWER : Harumnya menenangkan dan ada sensasi dingin ketika masker ini menempel ke wajah saya. Sungguh menenangkan apalagi bila ditemani dengan iringan musik gending jawa ataupun Symphony Beethoven. Wanginya tidak murahan, namun sedikit mirip dengan parfum ruangan. Kandungan di dalam masker ini juga tidak mengiritasi wajah saya yang sensitif-oily-acne prone ini. Hasil yang saya dapatkan dari pemakaian masker ini selama 30 menit, saya puas, hasil lebih cerahnya nyata, dan saya ingin memakainya setiap hari = 5/5

PURCHASE AGAIN : Ya, saya ingin mencoba kandungan yang lain seperti pepaya, zaitun, dan lain - lain = 5/5




Ini adalah hasil nyata setelah pemakaian masker, saya puas :)

Oriflame Make Up Kit

Assalamualaikum

Hello readers, long time no see after such a business like medical exam for this 5th semester, last semester in pre-clinic. Because next semester, i`ll be in hospital for starting the clerkship rotation.
For this chance, I`d like to review this make up kit that been a while in vanity case belongs to my sister, originally brought to you by Oriflame. This is special edition with price about Rp 198.000,00 and Yes, also limited edition.

Why make up?
1) I`m gonna be 20 in this March
2) I`m gonna be in hospital start next February 25th
3) It`s pretty, isn`t it? Who agreee? Me and you right

Let`s start about

PACKAGE : 3/5
Slightly look alike Mirabella (regional product belongs to SariAyu group, Oriflame is Swedish cosmetic) for the purple shell case with more pink-violet handle to look what`s inside the case. There you can see 16 eye shadow jar, 2 blush on (but accidentally only 1 left, the remain is broken :( hiks), 4 lipstain, and 2 brushes for lips and eyes. The mirror is too small, so I need another bigger mirror to check whether my make up is okay enough or not.



PRICE : 4.5 / 5
Rp. 198.000,00 or 20$ is fine enough, or very fine for a make up kit like this

POWER 4/5
Here the swatch of eyeshadow colour. The glittering is more powerful staying in my skin rather than the usual colour, matte. And the lipstain is, I think the colour is too hot, no nude colour, but the transparent lipbalm is very long-lasting formula which could stay until 4 hours without retouch, I like it. The cheek blusher is sweet colour, combination of nude-orange-pink which also soft complexion, not powdery at all, but easy , so easy to remove.

The 16 Eye shadow jar

The full team

Swatch : Left = Brown region, Centre = Green region, Right = Blue and violet region  


PURCHASE AGAIN? 2/5
No, I think I wanna try make up kit for Wardah :)


And here what I did for filling my time in Saturday morning

I used : The blue navy + glitter baby blue eye shadow, MAC eye liner pencil, brown eyeshadow for the brow, Mirabella compact powder No. 2, that pink blusher, pale pink + lipbalm

Red A






Hai everyone, it`s been a while I don`t post anything in my blog due to my business, hehe, busy in college, about pharmacology, pathology, journalism, greeky stuff, and recently after doing Disaster Management Simulation at Naval Academy Surabaya, I think it`s time to start caring about my skin again, after getting lil sunburned that makes my skin tanner. Yes, it`s tan not so dark because at weekend the weather was nice, cloudy.

So, at first I`d like to introduce my new haul today, about Red A cosmetic, which is under brand of Viva Cosmetic, purely originated from Indonesia and for Indonesian. Actually, at market I first choose Wardah Skincare, particularly in Lightening Series to complete my skincare, but, after reviewing at some blogs, it readily causes some acne prone, which I have to avoid because my goal now is maintaining the healthy and clean skin, for lightening, I use oatmeal and lemon mask to complish it.

So, let`s talk about Red A, why I choose Red A?

Because, it`s cheap !!! Very cheap, anywhere could be found, and the ingredients are safe enough for my skin, which is non pore-clogging

Here`s what I buy today

Up to Down : Red A All in One Face Cleanser, Red A Cherry Lip Balm, Red A Face Moisturizer










So, wait me reviewing one by one :)

Pore Clogging Ingredients You Should Avoid



For you all, the beautiful and handsome human kind in the living world, Happy Ied Mubarok 1433 H all :))) . Wish Allah bless you everyday more and more :)
Now, I wanna talk again about skincare, which is , my concern now, hihihi, sounds like if I am pleased to choose, for residency post - medical school, I`d like to be neurologist/ paediatrician/ dermatologist :)))
Making new natural remedy combat with safe environment and safe medically product and treatment, maybe I can make lemon squeeze salt facial for brightening uneven skin complexion . Hahaha, it`s just a chit chat, let`s go to the point...

Nowadays, many products (skincare) offer its own positive side, like :
  • Brightening only for two weeks
  • With apple extract to remove blackhead and whitehead
  • Pinkish white facial foam
  • Etc,,,,
But they don`t give the side effect of using them. LOL, who don`t wanna get rich? if they (manufacturer) claims the positive side with side effect might be happened by using that , as you can see in drug / pharmacologycal stuff, the manufacturer will be bankrupt soon, because of too many blackbox warning product instead of the positive function.

Of course it`s back to who use it, does she/he have sensitive? acne prone? comby? dry? flaky? The wise of our choose also give good result combined with RIGHT PRODUCT.

I haven`t got any dermatology lecture yet in my college, I`m still in 5th term now, but I have read some SOP of Ilmu Kesehatan Kulit dan Kelamin (Dermato-venerology) in Dr. Soetomo Surabaya Hospital. Which, surprisingly chemical peel using TCA (Trichloro Acetic Acid) in many notorious aesthetic clinic basically is a healing for Kutil Kelamin -Condyloma acuminata- as famous as called as Genital Wart.
No offense, but, if using TCA peel sounds like you have genital wart to be cleaned. :D In fact, it`s only acne marks, scar, etc. Be wise again ladies and gentleman

Enough said about that, back again with Pore Clogging. And, here`s the top list of ingredients in our skincare / cosmetic that boost pore clogging :
  1. Algae Extract
  2. Carrageenan
  3. Hexadecyl Alcohol
  4. Isocetyl Stearate
  5. Isopropyl Isostearate
  6. Isopropyl Myristate
  7. Laureth 4
  8. Myristil Myristate
  9. Octyl Stearate
  10. Oleth - 3
  11. Potassium Chloride
  12. Red Algae
  13. Sodium Chloride
  14. Sodium Lauryl Sulfate
  15. Wheat Germ Oil
And many more like Myristic Acid, Lauric Acid, and the list is downloadable in this url, and even more at this

Just give the ingredients, no, I have picked up several skincare in house, which it`s pore clogging but I just recognized it, my bad :(

Sodium Chloride, Lactic Acid, Parfum

Myristic Acid in the first, how acne prone this facial foam is!!
Stearic Acid, Lauric Acid


And ASAP I rush to market to find anything, especially facial care which contain none of those, finally I found from baby care product. Alhamdulillah
  1. Cussons First Year Newborn Pure Hair & Body Wash
  2. Cussons First Year Newborn Care Body Moisturizer




No perfume, no alcohol, and one only thing is it`s still contain detergent : Sodium Laureth Sulfate

I also bought moisturizer gel



Bottle of 100 ml

Tube of 50 gr



And, my favourite is they`re unscented, I like it !
I wish you all be wise to choose your product that suit you, and your skin :D
Thank for reading my blog and CMIIW because I`m just a human being :)))

"Perawatan wajah yang menggunakan bahan-bahan yang mengandung oxygen murni yang merangsang tumbuhnya nutrisi pada jaringan kulit . Diperkaya dengan ekstrak tumbuhan atau botanicals, enzim, dan vitamin untuk memberikan hasil nyata yang cepat. Perawatan ini dilakukan untuk mengatasi kulit yang sensitive, berminyak, jerawat, kulit kering dan anti aging."
"Face treatment uses pure oxygen ingredients that stimulate growth of skin`s nutrient. Enriched with plant extract or botanicals, enxyme, and vitamin to give the instan finishing complexion. This treatment is undergone to solve skin problems such sensitive skin, oily skin, acne-prone skin, dry skin, and anti aging"


Yesterday, I went to go facial because in the next 5 or 4 days again, Ied Day, the winning day after one month moeslem around the world doing fasting in this Ramadhan. Who doesn`t wanna be pretty? Of course, I wanna be looked pretty at that day, moreover my skin need to be treated well as few days ago I got acne breakout due to :
  • using mask that doesn`t match with my skin
  • the excess of using not-match lightening night cream
  • it`s been two months stressful and tired , when I got to finish this and that thing at my campus, including parasitology remedial, microbiology final exam, proposal for research, charity, etc. 
So, now I have to more loving my skin, hihi, this is the time. Usually, I got facial treatment at Alya Salon & Day Spa, which I`ve reviewed it .

Now, I`d like to try another, the biggest and most notorious, Viol*tta with its purple complexion colour at exterior and interior building. Because, many my friends go there for treatment, spa, etc. I only had fitness, sauna, and swimming experience there.

At first, I have my own purpose, this facial time isn`t just facial, I want to try microdermabrasion! Yes, because I think my acne isn`t so inflammating, the rest is just black post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. It`s only took Rp. 180.000,00 here to get Facial + Microdermabrasion. I think it`s really worth it.
That was my first thought, when I was there, I was consulted to not try MD because I still have acne "doh. The receptionist suggested me to have Facial Oxygen Regular worth Rp. 150.000,00. Oh, maybe I would get some oxygen infusion treatment, like oxygen serum, or anything else. So I accept.

The way I don`t like from the first talking to her (receptionist) is she talks with me as long as complaining to her friend beside her about "the loss customer today after cancelled reservation". Please, your job is only receptioning customer right, not also the marketing! I honestly don`t like double role. If I compare with Alya, receptionist there was so very very delighting, very very soft in talk and smile, and I just like it, that`s the first one minus for Violetta which has not so-charming and professional receptionist. Not just that, the second minus is, air conditioner so hot, even Gresik is so hot, my not-equipped house is cooler than Violetta, really!.

Then, there`s one woman beautician call my name and accompany me to the treatment site. This place has many rooms to do treatment. As I walking corridoor, there are several beauty tools / machine such as liposculpture, oxygen bla bla bla, and etc. Here`s the condition of the treatment room. Still, equipped by purple colour, big mirror, one curtain dividing two beds in one room, almost transparant door, which , the loudness of corridor walk heard from inside (the other beauticians outside spoke loudly in Javanese, it`s messy). When I changed my clothes in tube, in that room, the beautician almost three times went in, y u no see I`m still changing !

For the room, still, hot air conditioner, dull music, look not sterile beauty bottles filled with many creams, and one lamp, no steam machine, and I could see what treatment my beside woman got, it`s peel off mask. Alright this is so bad room, I don`t like it. Up to now, I got nothing I like from this whole building-customerization-accentuation- but purple colour.




This is where it starts
This is what you`ll see from the bed, the unlock door, which you can hear noise outside the room

Beautician start applying milk cleanser, toner, with very HARSH movement! Not as soft as when I got facial in Alya!!! I felt guilty to spend my 150K for this kind of treatment! Then she scrubbed my face with that soft bead. I like this bead. And I felt somewhat itchy and tingling feeling, I ask her if it`s that okay continuing treatment with this itchy feel. Yes that`s okay. Alright.

Then she apply white mask, which is very very very painful. She called it by chemical peeling. What!! I spoke I used tretinoin and still questioning the same thing, she said okay, because it`s still used in low concentration. Okay

FOR YOUR INFORMATION, SHE ALSO TYPING ON HER BB PHONE ONCE WITH TREATING MY FACE. You can imagine how it`s not sterile !!!

Then, she left me for some 15 or 20 minutes as I got bored and took my phone to play solitaire.

She came back, washing my masked - face with warm washcloth. Covered my eyes with wet cotton, not cucumber !. And no steam, no steaming, I know it`s important to open the clogged pore, but she started picking up my comedo in forehead by no steaming. Which I actually notice it because there`s no steamer in that room. And after picking up four or five comedo in my forehead, she started typing on her bb phone again, and said "Mbak, bentar ya" / "Excuse me for a while sist"

Alright, I wish this isn`t too long, but it wasn`t!!! She left me for almost 15 minutes. With that unfinished comedo extracting. Oh I just wanna go away from this place and not paying for 150K , for this low quality service like this. Then she came in again, extracting only my nose, my under eye pore, and that whole extraction not more than 15 minutes long. She asked me when the last facial I got, I answer two months ago. But that doesn`t mean you don`t extract my comedo in my other area, can you believe me, with my acne prone oily pimpleing skin she just 15 MINUTES extracting !!! It`s a big big mistake.

Then she applied green clay mask which she called it by Tea Tree Mask. This is one I like because it`s cooling, that`s it. Alright, she left me again. And back again by removing my mask, applying lotion in my face, and finish.

I took my picture when this greeny hulk mask covered my face

When I notice my face in the big mirror in that room, I see there`s still some white cream / mask leftover in my nose, indicating that she didn`t clean it well, and like usual, reddish nose only, with still comedo !

From now on I promise to my self I just only give my face treatment in Alya.

Price : Rp 150.000,- for Facial Oxygen Reguler
Packaging of room : 2/5
Power : 2/5
Professionalism : 2/5
Purchase Again : DEFINITELY NO
