Cell Shock Age Intelligence™ Essential Serum

You will always see me excited when I receive something from Swissline because I'm a huge fan of their products. Especially this Cell Shock Age Intelligence Essential Serum!

Because I was one of the testers before they launched this product and I was really happy with the results after 4 weeks and don't really know what mystery product it was. All I knew was that it was a serum and after giving my feedback, they launched the Swissline Cell Shock Age Intelligence™ Essential Serum soon after and sent me a full sized product all the way from Switzerland! I was elated because of course, I'm a forever fan of Swissline and to know that I was one of the human tester to make this product come to life makes me proud hehe

Now, Swissline have launched the same in Malaysia and once again I'm able to get my hands on this awesome product. This is my second bottle already after finishing up til the last drop of my first one.

Topical application of skincare products containing probiotics, previously attained only through foods and supplements, is now possible. Swissline Cell Shock Age Intelligence™ Essential Serum combines prebiotics and probiotics together with Madecassoside®, and ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) to create the ultimate skincare product that balances our skin’s biome and sustains the various mechanisms needed for keeping skin healthy so that its true beauty can be revealed. 

Prebiotics and Probiotics are important considerations for human health. They promote a balance of good bacteria in our guts to keep our bodies healthy by improving our immune system and reducing inflammation. We can also have a healthy skin by promoting a balance of good bacteria on our skin, since it is colonized by a diverse collection of microorganisms, including bacteria and fungi. 

Swissline’s Essential Serum brings back skin health deteriorated by hectic lifestyles that led to a state of dysbiosis, defined by the altering of skin’s normal pH, the creation of pro-inflammatory states, and ultimately the disruption of the barrier function of the skin. 

Custodio d’Avo, Swissline International Brand Director, sums up the essence of the Swissline Essential serum as “The name says it all. It is Essential. All year-round, day and night. A formula that underscores the simple fact that health is beauty, and beauty is health.” 

The numbers talk.

Based on an independent, 4 weeks study evaluating the benefits of Essential Serum on 44 women and men ages 18-65 years old, the study found:

• 44% increase in moisturization

• Up to 15% reduction in sebum production (volunteers with oily skin)

• Up to 26% increase in sebum production (volunteers with dry skin)

• 100% of the volunteers had a skin pH balancing positive test

I can definitely attest to this because I was one of them =)

 It is very lightweight and absorbs very fast into skin. It doesn't leave any greasy feeling or white cast. It makes my skin less oily and frees my clog pores because I can feel my blackhead/whitehead easily comes out after a face wash. I did not experience any breakout(which is the utmost importance when I try a product) and it goes well even when combining it with other moisturiser/sunblock.

Essential Serum should be applied both morning and evening for the best results. It should ideally be mixed in the palm of the hand with any of the Swissline Age Intelligence Boosters. Following application of Essential Serum, you should use your usual moisturizer, or an adapted SPF product. 

Swissline’s Essential Serum should be the very first step in your skincare regime, before all other products. It will benefit and support any skincare product that follows. The serum is paraben-free, allergen-free, alcohol-free, colour-free, vegan and cruelty-free. 

#noedit

Love that I'm now more and more confident to go out with a bare face =)

All you need to do is subscribe to a plan or you can try on a monthly basis first and let them curate 8-9 beauty products sent directly to your doorstep with FREE shipping worldwide!!

The boxes are shipped directly from Tokyo because I saw my tracking was from Tokyo office. The parcel will arrive 2-3 weeks from the date you receive your tracking number.

nomakenolife will drop a few hints on what's in the monthly box and you will never really know until you receive it. The surprise is what makes it all the more exciting =)

Cute box comes in my favourite colour!

Ta-dah! Every month, nomakenolife has a beauty box theme. For the month of February, the theme is love for obvious reasons and everything was curated with Valentine's Day in mind.

nomakenolife curates a mix of beauty products which can include cosmetics, mask, hair care, bath essentials, skincare and beauty tools.

There's a small magazine that explains the products in the box so you won't feel lost as most of the items have non-English descriptions.

Melliesh 3-way multi heart

You just gotta love multi-purpose makeup products, that's the inclusion of this cute balm from Japanese brand Melliesh in this month’s beauty box.

The case even has a small mirror so you can apply your makeup on the go! In February’s box comes one Melliesh 3-way multi heart in pink, cherry red, rich brown or cassis berry.

I got Cherry Red MHC003 colour in my box and I really love the versatility of this product.

Applied some on my cheeks as a blush and on my lips as a gloss. Cherry red is a very wearable colour for me and this product is great for travelling and on the go. Just pop into my bag and easy for re-application.

Beauty World makeup palette

The Beauty World makeup palette have you covered this Valentine’s Day! Create endless looks with this Japanese 10-color palette with colors suitable for your eyes, cheeks and face. In the box, it comes with one of the four varieties: Daily Color, Elegant Color, Tropical Color or Natural Color.

This is my favourite product in the box. This is a full palette for face and perfect for travel as well so that you don't need to carry a few palettes which is very bulky. Of course, I'm also absolutely loving the colour combo. I got my palette in Natural Colour and love playing with the colours.

  Right side of the palette swatches.

It has a mix of shimmer, neutral and vibrant colours which is very versatile!

Mixed the blue and red with silver for a playful look.

 Momocos colored eye pencil

This is my first time receiving a coloured eye pencil which is not brown/black haha so I was eager to try!

It's pink and glittery and funky!

Just line a little as an eyeliner and the glitter makes my eyes pop.

Capsa Lip Plumper

Now, this is an interesting product. With the Capsa lip plumper you can achieve full lips with the help of pepper extract. It either comes as a red gloss, a clear gloss or a moisturizing lip serum.

Mine came in red gloss but surprisingly, the colour was more to clear pink gloss on the lips.

When the lip plumper is applied, the pepper extract widens the capillaries, allowing more blood to flow to lips giving them more volume. After application, I could feel some peppery sense(like after biting some chillis haha) and that's what make lips plumper and fuller.

Mm..kissable lips.

Holika Holika heart crush lipstick creamy velvet

This heart-shaped lipstick is every girl’s dream! The velvet matte finish is just what you need to create a romantic Valentine’s day look that will turn heads. It comes in one of the nine pink, red, coral or beige colors.

 Mine came in Red PK01

It looks blood red here but in actual fact...

...It looks berry red which is perfect for my skintone. I'm loving this colour.

The matte is not drying and quite long lasting. After my lunch, I didn't need to re-apply at all and lasted til night.

My look using all items from nomakenolife February box!

Next, on to skincare. Of course, after a day of makeup, we need to pamper our skin.

A’pieu chocolate milk sheet mask

What is a must-have for Valentine’s Day? Besides love, chocolate is the correct answer LOL! This sheet mask from Korean brand A’Pieu uses the ingredient cacao to remove dead skin cells and milk essence to moisturize the skin.

It's a perfect fit plus it really smells like chocolate. It smells so yummy yet moisturising on skin.

Medius heart eye mask

As you may know, the skin around our eyes is very delicate and in need of extra care, that’s why this heart-shaped hydrogel eye mask is to the rescue! 

This is my first time using such mask. Japanese and Korean brands are really creative I must say hehe. The hydrogel is a perfect fit around my eye area and doesn't fall off easily plus it makes my eye area smooth after application. And the rose scent is very calming.

Dear My Soap

Get ready for the cutest soap of the year!

This heart-shaped soap bar has a sweet bulgarian rose scent.
Love it when taking a bath with the sweet scent after a long day of work.

The entire box is such a pampering kit from my face to body. Thank you nomakenolife for curating happy box for us girls =)

Aveeno- the power of oats

What is better than nature? Nature balanced with science. To help women around the world discover a naturally beautiful life, Aveeno® is a brand that offers a complete line of comprehensive skincare solutions featuring the Active Naturals Colloidal Oatmeal. 

The brand has unlocked the power of a natural ingredient – oat – through scientific advances, and discovered ways to nurture and transform the skin to an enhanced state of health and beauty. 

Why oat? Colloidal oat – which means ground oatmeal suspended in liquid medium for better application and absorption into the skin – has been a prized ingredient in skincare since ancient times. This is supported by over 60 years of clinical evidence indicating that colloidal oat formulas are effective in soothing dry, irritated skin. 

Each Aveeno® Active Naturals product is uniquely formulated and scientifically proven to harness the power of the oat to deliver real skincare benefits for strong, visibly healthier skin. For the past 70 years, Aveeno®’s commitment to harness the power of oat for skin wellness has made it the most trusted brand in the US for its use of natural ingredients1. 

Aveeno Baby® is also number one among US’ paediatricians’ trusted brands.

Through scientific research and stringent formulations, Aveeno® continuously discovers more secrets about nature’s ability to relieve, soothe and transform skin. One of its recent discovery is that the prebiotic properties of oat promote a balanced skin microbiome, which is fundamental for healthy, vibrant skin. This has resulted in the brand renaming its key ingredient – colloidal oat – as ‘prebiotic oat’ in some of its more recent products. 

Prebiotics, as Aveeno® scientists have found, improves the skin microbial balance. This means saying hello to a stronger skin barrier function and bidding goodbye to dry, itchy skin. Hence, all Aveeno® and Aveeno Baby® products are now infused with prebiotic oats. 

For dry & itchy skin conditions, Dr Leong Kin Fon, a consultant paediatric dermatologist, notes that prebiotic oat is effective in providing relief. He explained that oats have four important functions as an ingredient in moisturisers: to lock-in skin moisture, reducing itchiness and redness, on top of improving the skin’s microbial balance. 

Because we are all about oats, we get to make our very own overnight oats as well. Wee~ my fave!

True to its brand identity of balancing groundbreaking science with nature’s best produce, Aveeno® products are formulated with a farm-to-bottle commitment. This means its skincare solutions are produced through an artisanal process that preserves the freshness and goodness of carefully selected oats from its origin – the farm – all the way till it reaches women and babies in the bottle.

Aveeno®’s prebiotic colloidal oats are made from food-grade, high protein, non-GMO oat grains harvested from fields of Canada, North America, the United Kingdom and France. These harvests are then processed without the use of chemical solvents, and finally formulated through a stringent process designed to maintain the integrity and purity of the Aveeno® Oat’s active components.

After coming back from my vacation in Paris and Iceland, I suffer from really dry skin due to the harsh cold dry weather. My husband also suddenly had a flare up of dry patches around his thigh areas. So I quickly put my Aveeno Skin Relief Moisturising Lotion to good use. And it really worked! OMG, I was really surprised at how fast it worked. I was already on the verge of bringing my husband to see a dermatologist due to the dry patches and skin redness but because I heard Megan Tan, our emcee on the event day that her baby's eczema was cured with Aveeno products, I decided to give it a try. I think his flare up was also eczema like and after 3 days of application, there were no more dry patches. We were really surprised at the results!

I didn't take a BEFORE picture because his skin's flare up was so serious that we immediately applied the lotion hoping it would cure his skin.

This is a small part after 3 days of application. There were no more dry and red patches, and just some scarring. Pheww, we were so relieved.

My right thumb was burned in hot water due to an accident in Paris (my carelessness) and when I came back, the dry skin started peeling off so I also applied Aveeno.

There's still marks, but overall my skin has healed completely thanks to Aveeno!

If you suffer from very dry skin or eczema, maybe you might want to give Aveeno a try. So far, I think this should be my holy grail when I travel to cold countries.

Start your year beautiful and give you and your baby’s skin a new life with the power of prebiotic oats! Pick up Aveeno®’s range of skincare solutions featuring the Active Naturals Colloidal Oatmeal at selected major pharmacies, such as Watsons, Guardian, Caring, and AEON Wellness. Or, add it to your ‘cart’ in the comfort of your home through Aveeno®’s official store on Lazada (http://bit.ly/AveenoLazadaMY) and Shopee (http://bit.ly/AveenoShopee)! 

L’Oréal Paris Two-Step Regime

As a global total beauty care brand, L’Oréal offers men and women on every continent beauty and personal care products that are enhanced with the latest scientific advancements. For Malaysians, the brand has just unveiled an anti-aging, skin-repairing regimen tailored for the country’s tropical weather. 

Say hello to youthful skin that glows from within by including two key products in your daily skincare regimen: 

The L’Oréal Paris Revitalift Crystal Micro-Essence...

...and the newly improved L’Oréal Paris Revitalift Day Cream with enriched Pro-Retinol A and SPF35 PA++!

Recognising that women are leading increasingly busy lives and careers, the brand has designed its skincare regimen to deliver quick and confidence-boosting results, leaving more time for women to put their best foot forward at work or at home.

Think L’Oréal Paris, and the next phrase that pops into our heads would likely be “Because you're worth it”. This signature phrase is known around the world and represents the essence of the L’Oréal Paris brand as a whole – the spirit to help every woman embrace her unique beauty while reinforcing her sense of self-worth.

The L’Oréal Paris Revitalift Crystal Micro-Essence is an extension of the brand’s celebration of women’s beauty and confidence. Launched in 2019, the product is formulated to deeply repair, plump and hydrate skin. Powered by micronised technology, it has an ultra-lightweight texture, which allows for quick absorption and penetration as deep as 10 times the skin layer. This boosts the skin smoothness and radiance on the surface.

Just took a quick test on my skin hydration 

After the Revitalift Crystal Micro-Essence application and within only a few seconds...

Look at the results!!

 It's amazing! How fast the skin became hydrated was absolutely mind blowing.

Achieving crystal clear, radiant skin could not be simpler. Every morning, start your skincare regimen with Revitalift Crystal Micro-Essence after cleansing and toning. 

Shake four drops onto palm and gently warm it up by rubbing your palms together. Then, use your essence-coated palms to gently pat your face, starting with the forehead, the cheeks and finish with the chin, until the essence is absorbed into skin.

The L’Oréal Paris Revitalift Crystal Micro-Essence is enriched with 92% purity centella extract, which is derived from centella asiatica, a perennial plant which grows in the wetlands of Asia. It can deeply repair and boost skin elasticity, thanks to its combination of highly-concentrated flavonoids, triterpenic steroids, amino acids, and sugars. Not only that, the plant shines in its ability to moisturise dry skin because of its powerful anti-oxidative properties. Other than revitalising skin barrier, centella asiatica is also prized for its ability to mitigate the sun’s damaging effect on skin.


Finally, apply a dollop of the Revitalift Day Cream evenly on the face in a circular motion. The new and improved L’Oréal Paris Revitalift Day Cream seals the anti-ageing, skin-revitalising deal of the two-step regimen. The product combines cutting-edge technology with high quality formulation, delivering measurable results as quickly as seven days for Asian skin. In clinical tests, users reported seeing 17% reduced dullness, and 21% reduction of fine lines on the forehead. And that’s it! Your skincare routine is complete, leaving you ready to wow with improved skin texture, refined pores and a youthful complexion.

Speaking at the launch was Dr. Kartini Farah Rahim, Consultant Dermatologist at AVISENA Specialist Hospital explained that Malaysia is blessed with abundant sunlight all year round, but the ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun can damage our skin and lead to wrinkles – also known as photo-aging. This is why, on top of centella asiatica, the L’Oréal Paris Revitalift Day Cream is enhanced with Pro-Retinol, which is a powerful but also gentle agent in the retinoid family that reduces the effects of photo-aging on skin.

Also at the launch party was Malaysian actress Siti Saleha. For Siti, the combination of the micro-essence and day cream has worked wonders. Her work requires her to perform her best on screen, and she needs to be at her 100 percent to do so. This includes having a flawless and healthy complexion. 

“Since starting the two-step routine, my skin looks and feels like new, and my glowing complexion radiates confidence. Of course, the quick and simple regimen also suits my hectic schedule just fine!” she said.

Regain crystal clear, radiant skin today in just two easy steps! The L’Oréal Paris Revitalift Crystal Micro-Essence is now available at pharmacies and major retail outlets nationwide in two sizes -- 65ml retailing at RM49.90; and 130ml retailing at RM79.90. 

As for the L’Oréal Paris Revitalift Day Cream SPF35 PA++, it is retailing in stores nationwide starting January 2020 in two sizes: 50ml (RM63.40) and 20ml (RM29.90).

Thank you L’Oréal for having us!
