Vanity Trove X Cosmopolitan!

Posted on October 18, 2013 by Tempted to Love

Been hearing all the hoo-ha about VanityTrove Cosmopolitan Beauty Authority & finally I can get my hands on it!!! HURRAAYYYY!!

See the amount of goodies!! We have hair care, skin care, hair styling & makeup products..! Wow.. I can’t wait to show you everything!

So here’s Goldwell Style Sign Full Rebel! Erm, I’m not really into this althought it promise good holding power! Why? Because it’s too sticky!! So much more heavier then whipped cream! As sticky as a glue! & it feels as if my hair is gona stick together (like tangle up).. Eeew… I prefer the curling cream iSalon recommended much much more!

This is the curling cream Susan recommend to me when i did my perm at iSalon! I ain’t that interested initially because I thought it works like a hair moose giving my hair a wet look throughout the day or a hair wax where the holding power is a nay.

However, to my surprise, it has amazing styling power! Why did I not use the word “holding” power? because it doesn’t HOLD your curl! You do not need to stand in front of the mirror and start grabbing/scrunching your hair! All you need to do is twirl your hair with this cream when it is almost dry then let your hair be.. You will get beautiful natural curls after that!! NO NEED MIRROR! I SOMPA (I swear)~! Best part about it is, it’s not expensive! S$19 for a bottle like this and each time all I use is just 2 pumps!

Erm…. have I drifted too far?? OKAY! Back to my trove!

Here’s the next product, The Face Shop Baby Face Wash Off Mask Pore Care Pack!

It’s a wash-off type pore pack that cleanses inside the pores using hot spring mud from New Zealand! Gently massage onto skin and wash off!

FEATURES

New Zealand Rotorua Mud – Discharges wastes, astringent effects, anti- bacterial effects

OK.. I’m so excited to see this, Laneige Snow BB Soothing Cushion!

Every time you touch it, the air pump in the cushion contains air bubbles for thin and skin-friendly makeup. Also, it is provided in two separate containers to preserve the active ingredients and their functionality. The formulas can be used fresh and safely from start to finish.

SPF50 PA+++ is really tempting to me!! It always gives me a dewy and natural skin look. It “lightens” my freckles when I dap this bb cream on them (dap for better coverage)! On other area, I just apply per normal, swipe them all over and I’m done. Dewy, checked! Coverage checked!

Sheet mask from b.liv by cellnique! I tried the Bright is Right mask and thought is good but not enough for me to come back again..

But if you’re interested, you can always visit their website and check out their other mask/products!

DEEP CLEANSING OIL from ZA!! Just nice I need a makeup remover!

This little one can perfectly removes stubborn makeup, pore impurities and clogged sebum. Leaves the skin feeling moist and silky smooth, never sticky. Well that’s what it says.. Let me try and update you guys again SOON!

Belif Oil Control Moisturizer Fresh! I’m currently using Belif products, they are great to start but after some time i realize the effect is no longer that effective. Is it because my skin got used to it? I still remember how it hydrates my skin when I first try them out! So ladies, you can consider this if you need hydrating products!

Ok, next product is a nightmare! Read on to find out more..

Dove Hair Therapy hair fall rescue serum! This serum instantly reduces friction and makes your hair less prone to fall. Within six weeks of use it makes hair measurably fuller.

Directions to use the Dove Hair Fall Rescue Serum:

1. After shampooing, place 4 to 5 drops of the hair fall rescue serum on your palm and apply it throughout your hair.
2. You need not wash your hair after applying a hair serum as it is free of any harmful chemical.

Now you see why it caused a mess? It leaked!! EEEWWW~~ My trove smells so nice but SO OILY!! hahahahaa!!! I gotta clean and clean and clean in order to take a cleaner picture! LOL! But was touched that Vanity Trove actually offer to send me a replacement after I informed them about the leakage! I only wanted to inform them so that they can be more careful next time (2nd time i rec’d a leaked product). I didn’t thought of demanding for a replacement because it just didn’t came into my mind but they offered so i accepted. HAHAHA!! Pro-active customer service is what keeps a customer coming back. *thumbs up* Thanks for the replacement VT, I had rec’d them..

Overall, I’m still satisfied with my VanityTrove Cosmopolitan Beauty Authority Trove! If I can get Majolica Majorca Lash Expanding Edge Meister and/or Shiseido Professional The Hair Care Aqua Intensive Mask, I will be even happier!! HAHAHAHA!! Can’t get too greedy huh???

hmm.. Kracie….. AH!!!! Now i recall!! Kracie!!! candy!! candy that you can play with! See HERE!! its selling in qoo10.com.sg too!! oh my~!!

Last but not least.. My favourite… My most looking-fwd-to-use-product!! Neogence Off-heads serum!! seriously wait till i can get the info translated into english elsed i think im gona skip the product intro!

Below quoted from VT site:

New pore solutions, the new innovation…In hot summer months in tropical zones, like Asia, women really do become more concerned by oily skin resulting in blocked and enlarged pores…even more than we are concerned by our skin whitening concerns.

This brand is a team of dermatolgists, a bio-medical doctor and a professional pharmacist who have conducted vast amounts of research and analyzing of the skin’s pore problems.

To keep it simple and brief – when skin produces too much sebum, pores become blocked resulting in white heads, black heads and the worst, enlarged pores which loose their elasticity and finally lead to pock marks and very troublesome skin problems. Needless to say, with such professionals involved and the research done, the results are pretty amazing. Neogence Pore Solution Series will “effectively control sebum, keep the germs at bay, dissolve acne and rebuild pores”.I’d say try it, and you will be astonished

I only hope that this serum can effective minimize pores!

This month’s trove also comes with a love letter from Sasa! its actually a S$5 Sasa voucher! man! gona look for some stuff to grab before it expires! The previous one i had expired!!

All in all, i think this month’s trove is pretty much an eye opening one for mi! I get to know more about other brands which i don’t know before i got my trove! Thank you VT!
