兩個星期前我收到she.com既電話叫我拎野, 我諗左一小陣就話, “咦, 我呢期無參加過咩試用wor!”  個女仔就話, “係呀, 但係我地揀左你呀!”  我諗大概因為我係佢地Prochat既關係gwa.  Anyway, 佢叫我去拎既野我都好有興趣, 就係:

(English:  A couple weeks ago, I received a call from she.com asking me to pick up some products at their office.  I thought for a little while and said, “Hmmm….I haven’t joined any trial campaign these days!”  The lady said, “Right, we picked you!”  I guess it is because I am on their Prochat section.  Anyway, here are the stuff:)

Lancome既美白系列喇:

使用次數 (No. of Usage): 2 weeks (@ night time)

用後感:  我初初拎起枝野都驚驚地, 因為我既皮膚對有美白成份既野比較敏感.  點知用落我無敏感wor !  佢隻texture係lotion狀, 好易推同埋好快就比皮膚吸收sa, 呢個質地真係好適合夏天同埋皮膚比較油既人用.  搽完一d都唔覺得chi lup lup, 反而係覺得皮膚好柔軟同滑!  正!  至於美白方便, 我用既第一個星期未睇到d咩特別效果, 但係用到第二個星期, 我發現皮膚比較有光澤, 無sa d黃氣dull氣 (潮濕會令皮膚又黃又dull), 同埋皮膚既色tone開始變得均勻, 無搽粉都唔會見到有一達達既色差.  但係如果係色斑 (我有幾點係cheek areas), 我就未見有顯著既改善, 不過呢d野都要慢慢黎 (我會繼續用睇下d色斑會唔會淡d).  仲有, 佢係有香味既, 但係我覺得唔係濃, 聞落都幾舒服.  我so far都好鍾意呢枝亮白精華!  值得推介呀!! Good stuff!!

(English:  After-use Comment:  At first, I was quite skeptical about this whitening product because I was scared that it would irritate my skin.  Ha, I was so wrong, actually my skin is in love with the product.  Its texture is in lotion form, it’s very blendable and easy to be absorbed by skin.  Its texture is great for summer time and for those who have oilier skin types.  It’s not greasy on skin, on the other hand, it softens skin and smoothens skin!  Surprising!  For the first week of application, I didn’t quite see its whitening effect.  But moving onto the second week, I started to notice more radiance on skin and the dullness was all gone (humidity can cause dullness on skin).  Skin tone starts to even out and I don’t see different skin color patches even my face is bare!  This is all very promising.  However, for the darker spots on my cheek areas, I haven’t noticed any improvement so far (well I understand that it will take some time for the darker spots to fade away).  I will keep using it and give my final judgement on whether or not it erases the darker spots.  Also, it smells quite nice (not too strong).  So far, my comment on this product is positive and I really like this product!  It’s recommended!!  Good stuff!!)

上年係IPSA跌錢都跌左好幾次.  呢幾個月你都無聽到我講起呢個名, 原因係我清貨當中.  而家已經用緊第二枝Metabolizer (用到一半喇), 同埋清左好多佢地既travel size既東東.  仲有用緊既當然就係佢地其中一隻價錢一d都唔平民既The Time Reset Essence W啦.  我用左成個冬天, 而家同大家share啦:

(English:  I went to IPSA a few times last year and hauled a few times.  These months, you don’t hear me mentioning its name.  It’s because I am clearing up its stock!  I am now using my second bottle of Metabolizer (half way through), and have already cleared up a few of their travel size items.  Of course, I can’t miss out its expensive essence – The Time Reset Essence W  !  I have been using it all winter, and it’s time for me to share my cmments.)

IPSA The Time Reset Essence W

價錢 (Price):  HK$600/ 30ml; HK$900/ 50ml

Product Information:

“高智能雙重鎖水保護屏障，24小時追蹤缺水肌膚，水分全面滲透同時緊鎖於角質深層。配合強效美白成份，肌膚從此細緻嫩滑，剔透亮白。”

(English:  It traces dehydrated skin on a 24-hr basis and replenishes the lost moisture.  It provides a whitening effect too.)

Open up:

呢枝係泵裝.  用既時候泵兩下就得喇.  唔洗好多.  如果你有用開Metabolizer, 呢個係用係Metabolizer之後.

(English:  It comes with a pump.  Two pumps would be enough for the whole face.  If you are using Metabolizer, you’ll have to use this essence after.)

Texture:

泵出黎見到個texture唔係好杰身, 係lotion狀.  推得好開, 同埋都好易吸收.

(English:  The texture is in a lotion form, very blendable and easy to absorb.)

使用次數 (No. of Usage): 2 months (@ night)

用 後感:  你地都知我係乾性皮膚啦, 呢枝野我係潮濕既天氣用覺得有少少heavy, 所以我留翻乾既天氣先用.  我覺得如果你想買呢枝野係夏天用, 同埋如果你係油性皮膚, 我建議唔好喇, 你有機會覺得太rich.  佢每一次分量都唔洗用得多, 泵兩下就夠搽sa成面.  雖然佢係lotion狀, 但係佢比我既感覺都幾潤下, 一定唔係平時個d lotion既清爽feel.  我今個冬天用佢, 覺得佢滋潤既功能好好, 皮膚唔覺得乾.  同埋佢美白既功效都好好wor!  佢幫我brighten up我個膚色, 皮膚好有光澤!  我未搬個陣已經開左佢黎用, 用左一個星期, 我mama問我, “你用左咩皮膚白左咁多”.  雖然我唔鍾意白, 但係皮膚無黃氣真係好開心!  仲要, 佢有美白成分我都無敏感, 都真係難得!  我幾鍾意呢枝野, 雖然價錢係貴, 但係真係有好好既效果.  可惜, 佢個感覺比較rich, 所以真係唔係人人都suitable.  有興趣既, 真係要去counter試真d先呀!  我下年冬天應該都會再諗下買翻佢黎用 (要睇下變左心未).

(English:  After-use Comment:  I have dry skin.  I tried this during humid weather and honestly, I felt a bit heavy on skin.  Therefore, I saved it till dry weather.  If you want to get this for use in summer time or if you have oily skin, I don’t really recommend you doing so as you might feel that it’s too rich on your skin.  I don’t need to use too much, just two pumps are enough.  Even though its texture is in a lotion form, it turns out to be quite rich on skin.  Its moisturizing function is really great.  I have been using it in the winter, and it moisturizes my skin really well.  Also, its whitening function is brilliant!  It brightens up my skin and my skin looks so much more radiant after using it.  Before moving to a new place, I started using this.  After using it for a week, my mom asked me, “what have you been using?  Your skin looks so bright and it whitens up!”  Though I am not a big fan about whitening my face, I’m happy that it helps a lot in kicking away the dullness on my face.  What’s more, it performs its whitening function without irritating my face!  Fabulous!  I quite like this essence though its price is not exactly friendly, it really gives you the effect that it promises.  Sadly, its texture is a bit too rich and it’s not suitable for every skin types.  If you are interested, I’d really recommend you to test it out at counters first!  I might repurchase this when the next winter comes (this really depends if anything would grab my interest before that ).

P.S.  我有佢地個The Time Reset Cream travel size, 但係佢地隻cream真係太rich, 我乾都覺得潤過頭.  同埋我覺得佢個effect無essence咁明顯.  我都係like佢枝essence多好多.

(English:  P.S. I have their travel size The TIme Reset Cream, but the cream is too rich even for me!  I don’t think its effect is as good as the essence.  I still like this essence a lot better than the cream!)
