When a parcel containing Men’s Bioré Double Scrub Acne Solution Facial Foam arrived my doorstep a month ago, my mind was racing trying to get my heads around on how am I suppose to review a facial foam that is meant for men. Some girls do use their men’s skin care. Well, I don’t. I was left with two choices. I could either ignore the PR sample parcel that I received or I could pass it to my brother. So I happily snap a photo of the product and Whatsapp it to my brother. To my surprise, le brother was excited that a company FINALLY sent me men skin care, which eventually will go to him 😀
Men’s Bioré Double Scrub Acne Solution Facial Foam is the newest edition as an extension to the brand’s newly launched Double Scrub range. Double Scrub is a range that offers specific skin care solution ranging from Deep Cleanse, Oil Control and Whitening to take care of those stubborn blackheads, oily complexion, dull complexion and of course, anti-acne solution.
Double Scrub Acne Solution Facial Foam is designed and formulated for men to combat common men skin concern such as acne, oily skin and dull complexion. What it does is to go deep into the skin or pores, cleanse all the oil and dirt which is known to clog up pores and acne breakout. As you know I’m the skin care provider for my mum and now my brother as well. He uses my cleanser in the bathroom, which I’m alright with since I have 86545700633 tubes of cleanser up on the vanity rack. I was particularly telling him to use the whitening version as he does have quite a bit of acne marks from breakouts. What both of us didn’t know is he is somehow allergic to certain whitening substance that he kept getting more breakout (guilty me!). He managed to pinpoint out that it’s the cleanser that gave him continuous breakout that he switched to other cleanser and now he’s full on this Men’s Bioré Double Scrub Acne Solution Facial Foam.
This is a continuation for Gucci’s CHIME FOR CHANGE Campaign 2014, which I blogged about middle of last month. If you’ve missed out that post, do click on the link to understand more about the meaningful campaign initiated by Gucci Parfums because I’m about to unbox one interesting CHIME FOR CHANGE gift set!
CHIME FOR CHANGE raises funds and awareness for girls’ and women’s rights globally. The campaign is co-founded by Gucci Creative Director Frida Giannini, actor Salma Hayek Pinault and singer Beyoncé Knowles-Carter, aiming to unite the voices speaking out for girls and women around the world, promoting the key pillars of Education, Health and Justice. CHIME FOR CHANGE is powered by Catapult, the first crowd-funding site where people can make real change happen for girls and women.

Experts at Pantene Hair Research Institute (PHRI) discovered that excessive oxidative minerals build-up in the hair can cause damaging effects on hair health. These oxidative minerals would amplify free radicals production, which can cause fracture, erosion of proteins and weakening hair over time. The most common factors that contributed to dull and lifeless hair is none other that what all of us here in Malaysia are experiencing – heat and humidity. That’s not all. Minerals naturally present in water can also have a detrimental effect on the protein structure of hair aka protein.
I remember my hair stylist once told me that physically I looked like I have beautiful healthy hair but in real fact my hair is actually lifeless, empty on the inside. Let’s see if Pantene’s reformulated Pro-V shampoo and conditioner could help 🙂
Pantene’s Keratin Damage Blocker (KDB) Technology are now reformulated into Pantene Pro-V haircare range of shampoo such as Color & Perm Lasting Care, Daily Moisture Repair, Hair Fall Control and Total Damage Care. What KDB Technology do is to target, capture and help to neutralize excessive oxidative minerals present in the hair. Damage Blockers help to prevent the formation by reducing excessive levels of minerals instead of just waiting for free radicals to be produced before attacking them. Pantene is actually the first global brand that are designed to prevent hair protein erosion by minimizing mineral accumulation.
You heard me right. 75 Artisan brushes. Just last week I was over at MAKE UP FOR EVER Pro Boutique at Level 2 of Sephora Starhill to get a sneak peek of the whole new Artisan brush collection and boy the collection was so massive that I didn’t know where to start! This introduction is going to be long (I bet you already know that) so as usual, brew a pot of tea or coffee, sit back, relax and enjoy. I promise I will keep things short and sweet 😀
EAU DE LACOSTE L.12.12 Blanc is a worldwide bestseller, inspired by the iconic white L.12.12 polo shirt that founder René Lacoste invented back in 1933. The Limited Edition fragrance builds on the impressive sporting legacy of LACOSTE’s innovative founder, René Lacoste, reinventing the brand heritage to create a truly modern collectible scent with a nod to past.
René Lacoste was a tenacious sportsman, winning numerous accolades and titles throughout his illustrious career, including an Olympic medal and seven Grand Slam championships. He is passionate about tennis and firmly believing that the best games are those that are played well, as he defined it ‘le beau jeu’ (the beautiful game). Also he is best known for his tenacity on the tennis court, René Lacoste then invented the polo shirt in 1933. He named L.12.12, L which stands for LACOSTE, 1 references the first choice of fabric, “petit pique”, 2 represents the short sleeves and 12 is the number of prototypes made before the final product. Thus EAU DE LACOSTE L.12.12 was born. It is a collection of fragrances for men that captures the timeless spirit and authenticity of the polo shirt in a fragrance.
