Shampoo -Redken - Color Extend Shampoo
xcocox 7/5/2003 2:23:00 AM
[Packaging]
Nothing of a striking design, the typical Redken's tall plastic bottle with its flip cap. But i dread that type of flip cap cuz it'll gardually get blocked up with the product and get all clogged up. Hence need to take special attn of every now and then
[Product Quality]
Love the SCENT! After washing, makes my hair smells sooooo GREAT! =P tink it does retains my hair colour longer and keeps its vibracy but wish it latters and bubbles up MORE (i like those foamy formula, lotsa bubblez), cleans well BUT er.. kinda leaves hair feeling not so moisturized. Tink its great for colour hair but lacking alittle on the moisturizing factor hence..
[Overall]
i tends to alternates with a more moisturizing formula or color enhance shampoo. bought this again few times, buy the bigger bottle, its CHEAPER!!!

Love the SCENT! After washing, makes my hair smells sooooo GREAT! =P While i've this conditioner on, i find it instantly makes my washed hair feels softer and smoother (but often my hair gets entangled after shampoo) but still wish the formula is thicker and more MOISTURIZING!!! tink it does retains my hair colour longer and keeps its vibracy!
[Overall]
bought this again few times oredi but tends to alternates with a more moisturizing formula or sometimes i mix this conditioner with those weekly protein mask pack for more moisturizing

Styling Products -Redken - So Long Heat Treat
xcocox 7/5/2003 2:12:00 AM
Got a smaller sample in a spray bottle
[Product Quality]
there's a distinctive scent which i don't really fancy it on my hair (not tt bad but just not my cup of tea). Find tt this thing weighs down my hair. Frankly, i'm not too sure what it's supposed to do. Tink its supposed to protect my hair frm heat or sthg but i see no such results except it weighs my hair down.. nope, this hv to go

Styling Products -Redken - Clean Lift Gel [DISCONTINUED]
xcocox 7/5/2003 2:09:00 AM
Got it as a smaller sample size abt 30ml or so..
[Product Quality]
hmmm.. i've alwaz been skeptical abt gels- tink they r sticky, messy and leaves hair stiff and feeling dirty. Well, i tried tis product few times but it didnt get the volume i wanted particularly at the hair roots (as i wanted volume at the hair crown) but then again, i'm alwz not gd with hairdryer, mayb its juz me who dunno how to use the dryer to create volume.. otherwise, nothing special..really at least to me..
[Overall]
gotta rid of it at last..

frankly, i dislike the scent, definitely not to my fancy, find it too strong. In addition, i don't find it typically moisturizing for my asian wavy hair(drier at the ends and get frizzy). Doesn't tame it down either.
[Overall]
Not gonna buy it again, probably a middle hair brand in Singapore, costs abt SGD30, tink can be found easily in most shops, saloons, etc.

Sunscreen -Nivea - Children's Sun Spray SPF 30
xcocox 6/24/2003 8:06:00 AM
Under the Nivea Sun range..
[Packaging]
Comes in a spray bottle, with indents at the sides of the bottle- supposed to help to have a better grip of the bottle. True but no longer so after my hand is soiled with the sunbolock cuz the sunblock is slightly greasy and makes the bottle very slippery to hold. I've to clean the bottle every now and then or hold it with a towel. Bought it for quite a while, so far, the nozzle is not clogged or broken yet, think its a good thing.
[Quality]
I'm really particular abt the consistency of the sunblock. I simply hate to have anything too thick, too oily or so on my skin. This is ALMOST prefect as the lotion is light (unlike most sunscreen from conventional off the shelves brands aka cheaper brands tt r thick, n almost opaque and difficult to apply evenly). this is light, very easy to apply and absorbed relatively fast (can be improved but so far is the best i've tried) comes with a pleasant and bearable scent. can be less greasy as it takes abt 5min to absorbed but still better than the others. so far i haven't got burn though i'm rather constantly under the sun for say 1-3hr cuz of swimming esp under the hot tropical singapore weather esp in JUNE!!! but i did can tan though i'm not complaining..
[Overall]
the main reason why i bought the kids version cuz the adult's spray version's highest SPF's only 30 in SG. i really need one tt's SPF 30 n above, in light, easily abosrbed texture and relatively afordable as i used this v often. so far, this item is great!!! anyone comes across a better product, pls inform me, thks

Treatments -Ettusais - Medicated Acne Oil Block Gel
xcocox 5/19/2003 4:09:00 PM
opps..silly me, i didn't realise it's more like a prevent shine item + prevenbt acne.. all the time i thought it was a pimple gel!!!
[Packaging]
Usu foil tube form, good thing is that the opening is real small so u won over squeeze and too much comes out, very good! Think ettusais have a revamp on their produt packaging recently..
[Quality]
not bad, i sincerely think tht ettusais stuffs complement each other n only works the magic if u use them all.. icy cool when applied, dried to a matt finish (but it doesnt really keep shine at bay for long. will update abt tis) but it's great as apimple gel!!! it works when i use the entire range but bear in mind tt i'm lazy n i do not religiosuly take care of my skin.. hence i really tink it's great.
[Overall]
I decided to be a believer in this range but the price is about middle range, not exactly cheap or ex but priceier. yup i'm not thrilled tt this small amt of prod cost more than it looked! In fact, i'm pretty impresses that Ettusais product works for me (i mean these prod r targeted to the public despite the so called broad classification of whitening or acne range) tt i'm trying out other products, perhaps the concealer, foundation, etc..

Skincare - Face -Ettusais - Medicated Make Clear Gel
xcocox 5/19/2003 4:02:00 PM
this is from the Medicated Acne Range, i'm not totally impressed by this but using it cuz it's part of the whole set (read my comments on other product of tis medicated range)
[Packaging]
Usu tube form, good thing is the it's translucent green so i can see how much product is left at only one time. the usu bad thing abt this packaging is that u can get every bit of the product out unless u cut it up which is usu too much for one time use..tricky. Think ettusais have a revamp on their produt packaging recently..
[Quality]
As a makeup remover, i think it sucks. it doesn't seem to be doing much, it does not seem to remove my mascara well, not to mention waterproof mascara (which i wears alot). i'm not thrilled but i'm still using it cuz it's part of the medicated ance set wwhich helps to keeps my pimples at bay. i'm not taking any chances.

Toners -Ettusais - balancing water
xcocox 5/19/2003 3:57:00 PM
this is from the Medicated Acne Range, it's some sorta of non-alcoholic water cum fresher, acts like an moisturising water too..
[Packaging]
Bad idea. The glass bottle is chunky and heavy. the only good thing is the pump nozzle which dispense the riht amt of water needed each time. BEST! there's a recent revamp in the packaging, hope there's some changes.. but let's not get our hopes too high.. haha
[Quality]
On one hand, i agree with other reviewers that it felt as if it's not doing any good to the skin BUT I think this is good stuff cuz i can soon feel n see the results when i'm NO LONGER using it. but it seems that u muz use the whole set of works, e.g. the acne clean soap, make clear gel, pimple gel to complement each other to gives results. I've been using this range of products off and then and when i'm using it again, i dun hv much pimples despite the same long nights, lack of zz, stressful schedule! I think i'm convinced. I'll stick to this unless it gotten disc or when i'm lazy.

Cleansers -Ettusais - anti-bacterial soap
xcocox 5/19/2003 3:52:00 PM
this is from the Medicated Acne Range, it's actually called Acne Clean Soap
[Packaging]
A big piece of green soap wrapped in green foil. Think ettusais have a revamp on their product packaging recently..
[Quality]
Basically it a piece of soap (which i tink it's a badddddddd idea. hello? Ettuais management, can u change it to liquid soap like normal sane pple frm other companies? thks) It's troublesome to use a soap and mine gets soggy and i've to keep washing mine cuz i always feel that the outermost layer is dirty n contaminated cuz it look so soggy-like. yucks! initially when i used it, i felt that it makes my skin feels tight BUT I think this is good stuff but it seems that u muz use the whole set of works, e.g. the balancing water, make clear gel, pimple gel to complement each other to gives results. I've been using this range of products off and then and when i'm using it again, i dun hv much pimples despite the same long nights, lack of zz, stressful schedule! I think i'm convinced.

Received a sample of it in a a 1ml sachet in light-medium
[Packaging]
clueless as mine's a sample
[Quality]
yucks, 1st thing i noticed is that it's greasy and my skin cant stand anything tt feels way too greasy! i tried to resist but i wahsed it off after 5mins of application. But it did gives my skin a nice natural glow and gives sheer coverage, won't cover much on scars or blemishes .
[Overall]
No way, anything too greasy is way out..P>

Skincare - Face -Kose - Fasio Point Makeup Remover
xcocox 12/30/2002 8:51:00 PM
Bought this at SGD8 to reward myself for regliously jogging everyday for 5 days =)
[Packaging]
a cute bottle with pale blue body and pearl white cap. quite handy too. i like =)
[Quality]
1stly it's non-oily which is good and it does removes waterproof mascara but probably hv to soak for a while but it does perform as it promises "removes makeup gently" .
[Overall]
Not too bad, will hang on and use and hope my opinion will not change after using it for long. Think some of the products available in singapore might be different from in HK or Japan, as shown in the offical fasio website.

Bought this at SGD8 to reward myself for regliously jogging everyday for 5 days =)
[Packaging]
The usual squeeze tube, comes in clear plastic box packaging (think bloom lipglaze, mac lipstain,etc
[Quality]
Great non-sticky gloss which i totally love! I bought Gleaming Red, which is actually a sheer pink with shimmers (wonder who came up with the so inaccurate names?). So pretty, great for me as i'm the sort that like high shine, tinted, non sticky gloss. 10g will lasts me some time, probably a new staple in my portable makeup kit
[Overall]
Great stuff, i like it so. The range of colours is quite vast (probably 10 or so), might try other colours. Think some of the products available in singapore might be different from in HK or Japan, as shown in the offical fasio website.
