Somewhere early or middle this year I redeemed a Shiseido The Perfect Whitening Kit 2013 from Isetan KLCC counter but I couldn’t recall where I get the info from. The only thing I remember is being excited about it and rushed to redeem the sample kit mainly because I was interested with the serum+ and of course the mask as well.

The Perfect Whitening Kit has been sitting in my stash drawer comfortably, up until a few days ago where I took it out while cleaning the drawer. I’ve ran out of whitening serum and this sample kit is just perfect :D. I give credit to counter brands that came out with such a nicely done and complete sample kit. This Shiseido one although comes in a simple cardboard leaftlet-like, at least they put in effort and not just giving the sample out as it is. I also managed to get this sample kit without any issue or whatsoever from the friendly BA. They are well aware of the sampling exercise and I was not badly treated at all eventhough I wasn’t buying anything.

On the cover is the star whitening serum from Shiseido which is the White Lucent Intensive Spot Targeting Serum+.

There is two main product included in the Shiseido The Perfect Whitening Kit 2013. Shiseido’s No. 1 Ultimate Whitening Pair – Intensive Spot Targeting Serum+ and Power Brightening Mask is said to be the ultimate pair for ultimately spotless white skin. Just like Shiseido’s tagline – Crush X Eject.

Shiseido gave out a generous 5ml tube of Intensive Spot Targeting Serum+ and a piece of Power Brightening Mask.

I’ve been using the Intensive Spot Targeting Serum+ for days now. It is so precious that I’m not using it as generous as I am on day to day basis. The serum is quite runny, doesn’t carry any heavy scent and not sticky after application. Before I started using the serum, my complexion was very dull. Maybe because I ran out of whitening / brightening serum that I wasn’t using any

Of all whitening serum I’ve used before, this particular one has got to be the fastest and powerful among all because the result was quite instant the next day. The only problem now is to fork out RM410 for a 30ml bottle *faint*

I remember Jennifer redeemed one as well. Perhaps she can refresh my mind on how we came about on the redemption :D…that if she recall

Kudos to brands that are generous in giving out sample kit whenever they want to focus a product or whenever they launched a new product because only through sampling new and existing users are able to try the product at the comfort of their home before buying. I’m a firm believer in trying before buying

Recently I dropped by EVE LOM counter at Parkson Pavilion to check out the Intense Hydration Serum which had already caught my attention a few months ago during my first visit to the same counter. You can read here for more in-depth of the brand overview.

So what is so special about the hydration serum that EVE LOM has? Well if you had tried the serum like I do then you’ll agree with me that the texture of the serum is rather different and special. It comes in a thick gel consistency but yet watery at the same time so it’s not sticky or thick at all. Having said that this watery gel-like texture absorbed in in no time and all you need is just 2-3 drops for the whole face.

One would agree moisture does great things to our skin. EVE LOM Intense Hydration Serum is an intense moisturising treatment containing highly effective concentrate that uses Hyaluronic Acid for long lasting skin hydration, protection and plumping up complexion. The serum boost the Hyaluron level that is naturally produced in our body to rehydrate parched and stressed skin. What Hyaluron do is that it store moisture in the skin by forming a structure that holds up to 99% water for increased hydration.

I like that the serum comes in a glass dropper bottle. As the serum is quite thick, pumping a drop out takes a longer time but not a biggie.

Clinical trials proved that Hyaluron increased skin hydration by 20% in just a short 2 hours!

As you can see below the one drop serum that I put at the back of my hand doesn’t budge a bit. However it is easily spread and absorbed in no time.

Benefits:

• Gives skin an instant and long-lasting moisture surge
• Visibly plumps and smoothes the skin to eases the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
• Helps protect skin from dryness and damage
• Lightweight, concentrated and easily absorbed
• Ideal for normal to dry skin, in need of extra hydration

Ingredients:
Aqua (Water), Glycerin, Phenoxyethanol, Sodium Hyaluronate, Panthenol, Ethylhexylglycerin

According to EVE LOM you can also top this serum up with other moisturizer or cream. After all you cannot end your skin care regime with serum. Always end with cream.

Now a treat for everyone! EVE LOM is kind and generous to give away their best seller – EVE LOM Cleanser sample kit just for Street Love blog! This limited edition sample kit consists of a 5ml sachet of the cleanser with a mini Muslin cloth. Redemption starts TODAY! Very limited stock available. Details are in the below picture.

Clinique Malaysia is doing another sampling exercise and this time it’s their Even Better Makeup SPF 15/PA++ liquid foundation.

Just go to https://www.facebook.com/cliniquemalaysia/app_174484102687569

I redeemed mine on Monday after work while on the way home. I was matched with Even Better Makeup SPF 15/PA++ in shade #63 which I told the BA not to give me my exact shade as most liquid foundation oxidize on me in the afternoon.

I’m liking this foundie. Have you redeem yours? I’m still “test-driving” this foundie for the week
