ZAP Underarm Brightening Cream Review

 

ZAP Skin Care Products

After a few times review about ZAP, it is incomplete if I do not write about their skin care products. ZAP Beauty Center provides products for face and body, such as Brightening Body Lotion, Brightening Night Cream, Face and Body Sunblock, Brightening Facial Wash, Anti Acne Facial Wash, Anti Stretch Marks Cream, Underarm Brightening Cream, Brightening Serum, Exfoliant Serum and Eye Gel. Today I am going to review about ZAP’s best seller product which is Underarm Brightening Cream. 

Product Information

ZAP Underarm Brightening Cream is a skin care product to brighten underarm color in one month. This cream also smooths skin and shrinks pores.

Packaging

I really like the packaging, it comes in a small tube 10g. Mostly, the underarm brightening product from beauty clinics packaged in a cream jar which the air can get into and you have to stick your finger in it to take the product out - those things make the cream oxidized and easily damaged. With the tube, i think it is more hygienic and you can distribute just the right amount of product that you want to use - makes the product stays long in your shelf.

Texture

It is white gel but it looks transparently when you apply. The texture is light and not sticky at all. It has no smell and very easy to smooth out and rub into the skin.

Application

Squeeze the tube, and take a little bit of product. Apply it sheer in your underarms at night before sleep. Make sure your armpits are clean before you apply the product.

I was so excited and curious to try this product because it is one of the best seller’s product from ZAP. At the beginning ZAP marketed their Underarm Brightening Cream thru internet and it was always out of stocks. Since the demand of the clients increase, ZAP were overwhelmed and stopped to sells it online. Now the product can be purchased only in their Beauty Center. 

My first impression about it is it is easy to bring because it is small, you can put in your pocket, purse, bag, everywhere…. I found it does not irritate my skin, it is not sticky (even when I am sweating) or dry the skin and absolutely fragrance free. 

The product information says this cream works in one month. Unfortunately, after one month I have been using it, I still do not see a big difference between before and after I use it. The result is not as I expected – the dark shadows of my armpits still the same, but the pores seem a bit shrink and the skin slightly smooth. Well, we all know that a good brightening product which does not contain mercury or other hazardous chemical does not work fast, so I guess I still need to wait for another months to see the desired result.

Price

IDR. 50.000,-

Pros

• Fragrance free 
• It does not irritate skin 
• It is not sticky 
• It improves the appearance of pores
• It smooths skin 

Cons

• It does not work in one month

Conclusion

ZAP Underarm Brightening Cream is a safe brightening product for armpit. 

Have you tried this product more than one month and what is the result??? Please share with us... and do not forget to subscribe my blog ;)

Thank you...

Read this article in Bahasa

Setelah sekian kali saya mengulas tentang ZAP, rasanya kurang lengkap jika saya tidak menulis tentang produk-produk skin care mereka. ZAP Beauty Center menyediakan produk untuk wajah dan tubuh, seperti Brightening Body Lotion, Brightening Night Cream, Face and Body Sunblock, Brightening Facial Wash, Anti Acne Facial Wash, Anti Stretch Marks Cream, Underarm Brightening Cream, Brightening Serum, Exfoliant Serum dan Eye Gel. Hari ini saya akan mengulas tentang produk terlarisnya ZAP yaitu Underarm Brightening Cream atau Krim Pencerah Kulit Ketiak. 

Informasi Produk

ZAP Underarm Brightening Cream merupakan cream perawatan kulit untuk mencerahkan warna kulit dalam 1 bulan. Cream ini juga menghaluskan kulit dan mengecilkan pori-pori.

Kemasan

Saya sangat suka kemasannya, hadir dalam tube kecil 10g. Kebanyakan produk pencerah kulit ketiak dari klinik-klinik kecantikan dikemas dalam krim jar dimana udara dapat masuk dan jari anda harus menyentuh produk ketika mengambilnya - hal tersebut membuat krim teroksidasi dan menjadi mudah rusak. Dengan kemasan seperti ini (tube), menurut saya lebih higienis dan anda dapat mengontrol seberapa banyak produk yang anda ingin keluarkan/pakai - pemakaian lebih hemat dan produk tidak cepat habis. 

Teksture

Ini adalah gel berwarna putih tetapi terlihat tembus pandang ketika anda mengolesnya. Teksturenya ringan dan tidak lengket sama sekali. Tidak ada bau dan sangat mudah dioles di kulit.

Cara pemakaian

Remas tubenya, dan ambil produk sedikit saja. Oleskan tipis di ketiak anda pada malam hari sebelum tidur. Pastikan ketiak anda bersih sebelum memakai produk ini. 

Saya sangat senang dan penasaran untuk mencoba produk ini karena ini adalah salah satu produk terlaris dari ZAP. Pada awalnya ZAP memasarkan Krim Pencerah Kulit Ketiak mereka melalui internet dan selalu habis. Sejak permintaan dari klien meningkat, ZAP kewalahan dan menghentikan penjualan secara online. Sekarang produk ini hanya dapat dibeli di Beauty Center mereka. 

Kesan pertama saya pada produk ini adalah sangat mudah dibawa karena kecil, anda dapat menaruhnya di kantong, dompet, tas, di mana saja.... Produk ini tidak mengiritasi kulit, tidak lengket (bahkan ketika saya berkeringat) atau membuat kulit kering dan pastinya bebas wewangian.

Informasi produk mengatakan krim ini bekerja dalam satu bulan. Sayangnya, setelah satu bulan saya menggunakannya, saya masih tidak melihat perbedaan besar antara sebelum dan sesudah memakai produk ini. Hasil tidak sesuai dengan apa yang saya harapkan - bayangan gelap pada ketiak masih sama, tetapi pori-pori tampak agak sedikit mengecil dan kulit sedikit halus. Kita semua tahu bahwa produk pencerah yang baik yang tidak mengandung mercury atau zat kimia berbahaya lainnya tidak bekerja secara cepat, jadi saya rasa saya masih perlu menunggu beberapa bulan lagi untuk melihat hasil yang saya inginkan.

Harga

IDR. 50.000,-

Pro

• Tidak ada bau
• Tidak menimbulkan irritasi
• Tidak lengket
• Memperbarui tampilan pori-pori
• Menghaluskan kulit

Kontra

• Tidak bekerja dalam satu bulan

Kesimpulan

Krim Pencerah Kulit Ketiak ZAP adalah produk pencerah yang aman buat ketiak.

Apakah anda pernah mencoba produk ini lebih dari satu bulan dan apa hasilnya? Bagi pengalaman anda bersama kami dan jangan lupa "subscribe" blog saya ;)

Terima kasih...

L'oreal Hair Spa Nourishing Creambath Review

It is very important to keep hair healthy because your hair reflects your personality. Having beautiful hair can help to boost your self-confidence and mood and also gives a good impression from anyone who sees you. Rebonding, perming, coloring, pollution and too much exposed under the sunlight can damage hair such as dry, fall, frizzy, unruly, even split ends. Shampooing and conditioning are not enough to maintain healthy growth, you need a deep conditioning hair spa. Hair spa is a treatment that helps to make your hair bouncy, shiny and strong. To feel this essential therapy you do not have to regularly get professional help, you can do it by yourself at home. Easy, simple and save money.

Well, L’oreal Hair Spa Nourishing Creambath is not a new product. It must be familiar in many salons. I am a loyal customer of this one, I have been using it for about 10 years. Since I have hair coloring done every 3 months and very often style my hair with hair dryer, curling iron etc., my hair becomes very dry, that is why i need this product to nourish it. Now I want to tell you my experience of using this cream.

Product Information

“The nourishing formula is based on purified water, a cationic agent and conditioning silicone. The hair gains manageability and softness for healthy-looking hair with beautiful shine.”

Packaging 

 The Nourishing Creambath comes in a 500ml plastic jar.

The Hydrating Concentrate comes in a 8ml bottle.

Texture

The Nourishing Creambath has a white thick silky cream kind of texture. The smell is really nice and stays for days. The Hydrating Concentrate is transparent liquid, and fragrance free.

Application

• Wash your hair with L’oreal Hair Spa Purifying Massage Shampoo (Sensory System 1) or if you do not have this product, you can use your daily shampoo – up to you… To get the maximum result, it is better to use the L’oreal Hair Spa Purifying Shampoo 
• Dry your hair with towel – like 50% dry
• Blend a generous amount of the Nourishing Creambath (Sensory System 2) with the Corresponding Scalp Concentrate (1 capsule)
• Apply the mixture evenly and massage thoroughly into your hair and scalp for 20 minutes
• Comb your hair with fingers or picks comb and leave for 10 minutes using a steamer or warm towel 
• Rinse thoroughly

You can do this treatment as often as you want but ideally repeat it once in 2 weeks. Sometimes if I do not have time or too lazy to do it, I use it only once a month. According to my experience when i get hair loss, i will stop to use this product temporary till my hair loss stops because when i apply it and massage my scalp in this condition, my hair falls even more thru the massage process.

• The Nourishing Creambath IDR. 125.000,-/jar
• The Hydrating Concentrate IDR. 10.000/bottle

Pros

• It makes hair smooth, supple and shiny
• It makes hair easy to manage and less frizzy
• The smell is nice and stays for long time

Conclusion

L’oreal Hair Spa is a series of essential therapy that moistures the hair better, softer, and healthier. I highly recommend this product for those with normal or damaged hair. For those with supple and thin hair, you may think twice before you do this treatment because it will make your hair look more drenched.

Hai DDG, belakangan saya dapat banyak pesan yang minta blog ini ditulis dalam bahasa Indonesia. Setelah melalui proses timbang menimbang, akhirnya saya putuskan untuk menulis artikel kali ini dan seterusnya dalam 2 bahasa, English dan Indonesia... ya ya ya... yang mau tepuk tangan silahkan ;) PR banget gak sih???? :) tapi karena saya cinta kalian semua oke lah, saya kerjakan....

Sangatlah penting untuk menjaga kesehatan rambut, karena rambut anda adalah cerminan diri anda. Memiliki rambut yang indah dapat membantu meningkatkan rasa percaya diri, suasana hati maupun kesan yang baik dari orang lain yang melihat anda. Rebonding, perming coloring, polusi dan terlalu banyak terpapar sinar matahari dapat merusak rambut, seperti kering, rontok, keriting ngembang gak jelas, susah diatur, bahkan bercabang. Keramas menggunakan shampoo dan kondisioner saja tidaklah cukup untuk mempertahankan pertumbuhan rambut yang sehat, anda butuh hair spa yang benar-benar melembabkan. Hair spa adalah sejenis perawatan yang membantu membuat rambut anda lemas, berkilau dan kuat. Untuk merasakan terapi essensial ini anda tidak butuh bantuan tenaga profesional secara berkala, anda dapat melakukannya sendiri dirumah. Mudah, sederhana dan hemat.

L’oreal Hair Spa Nourishing Creambath bukanlah produk baru. Ini sangat populer di salon-salon. Saya merupakan pelanggan setia produk ini, sudah menggunakannya selama kurang lebih 10 tahun. Karena saya mewarnai rambut setiap 3 bulan, dan sering sekali menata  rambut dengan hair dryer, curling iron, dsb., rambut saya menjadi sangat kering, karena itu saya menggunakan produk ini untuk menutrisi rambut saya. Sekarang saya ingin memberitahu pengalaman saya menggunakan krim ini kepada kalian semua...

Informasi Produk

“Formula nutrisinya terdiri dari air murni, cationic agent dan conditioning silicone. Rambut mendapatkan kekuatan dan kelembutannya sehingga terlihat sehat dan indah berkilau.”

Kemasan

The Nourishing Creambath hadir dalam wadah plastik 500ml.  

  

The Hydrating Concentrate hadir dalam kemasan botol 8ml.

Teksture

 Teksture Nourishing Creambath 

Nourishing Creambath setelah dicampur dengan Hydrating Concentrate

The Nourishing Creambath memiliki teksture krim yang bewarna putih kental dan lembut. Aromanya enak dan tahan berhari-hari. The Hydrating Concentrate adalah cairan transparan dan tidak memiliki aroma.

Cara Pemakaian

• Keramas terlebih dahulu menggunakan L’oreal Hair Spa Purifying Massage Shampoo (Sensory System 1). Atau jika anda tidak memiliki shampo ini, anda dapat menggunakan shampo yang biasa anda pakai sehari-hari - terserah saja... Untuk mendapatkan hasil yang maksimal, sebaiknya gunakan L’oreal Hair Spa Purifying Shampoo
• Keringkan rambut dengan handuk sekitar 50% kering
• Campur Nourishing Creambath (Sensory System 2) secukupnya (dikira-kira aja) dengan Corresponding Scalp Concentrate (1 kapsul)
• Baurkan campuran tersebut secara merata dan pijat rambut serta kulit kepala selama 20 menit
• Sisir rambut menggunakan jari jemari atau sisir besar dan biarkan selama 10 menit menggunakan steamer atau handuk hangat
• Bilas bersih ;)

Anda dapat melakukan perawatan ini sesering mungkin tetapi idealnya satu kali dalam 2 minggu. Kalau saya sedang tidak punya waktu atau malas melakukan perawatan sendiri, saya hanya memakai produk ini sebulan sekali. Berdasarkan pengalaman saya ketika saya mengalami rambut rontok, saya akan berhenti menggunakan produk ini sementara waktu sampai rambut saya benar-benar berhenti rontoknya karena ketika saya memakainya dan memijat kulit kepala saya dalam keadaan ini, rambut saya malahan semakin rotok melalui proses pemijatan tersebut.

Harga

• The Nourishing Creambath IDR. 125.000,-/jar
• The Hydrating Concentrate IDR. 10.000/botol

Pro

• Membuat rambut terasa lembut, lemas dan berkilau
• Membuat rambut mudah diatur dan tidak mengembang
• Aromanya enak dan lengket dalam waktu lama

Kontra

• Untuk rambut rontok, produk ini tidak dapat membantu menumbuhkan rambut

Kesimpulan

L’oreal Hair Spa adalah rangkaian terapi yang benar-benar melembabkan rambut, membuat rambut lebih lembut dan sehat. Saya sangat menyarankan produk ini untuk siapa saja yang memiliki rambut normal atau rusak. Bagi yang memiliki rambut yang lemas dan tipis, anda pastinya ingin berpikir dua kali sebelum melakukan perawatan ini karena akan membuat rambut anda terlihat lebih lepek.

NYX Black Label Lipstick Review and Swatches

This is my first review of NYX products, I choose NYX Black Label Lipstick because this product quite impresses me with its texture and pigmentation as I am a pigmented lipstick whore. My sister purchased it and she told me about her opinions about this product then I decided to try. I did not waste my money for something crap and now it is my turn to tell my opinions about it for you.

Product Information

“A creamy, dreamy lipstick with a velvety smooth finish and hyper-glamorous shades for every look and every inclination. NYX's Black Label Lipstick has rich emollient properties that ensure that the color glides on and envelopes your pout at the same time. From Extreme Red to Earthy to Hot Pink, Black Label Lipstick is available in a variety of lipsmacking hues.”

Packaging

NYX Black Label Lipstick

It comes in a metallic grey tube which is a bit bulky. On the top of the tube there are name and code of the lipstick. On the bottom, you can see the color of the product thru the transparent cube. The transparent cube helps you to find the shade that you want to pick easily, especially if you put your lipsticks in a huge collections.

Texture

It is light weight creamy in formula, very smooth and silky makes it glide easily on lips. It has fruity bubble gum scent and glossy finish.

Swatches

 Brick (coral)

Heather (neutral mid-tone pink)

Longetivity and removal

This lipstick is build up product, means it does not provide enough coverage. If you want to get natural look, apply it just one swipe -  but if you want to get a full coverage you can add 2-3 swipes. Since it is creamy, it tends to bleed so to make your lip precise, you may need lipliner on your outerline lips. It is comfortable to wear, it does not dry or peel lips and easy to remove. If you do not eat or drink, it will stay for 2-3 hours, after that it starts to fade.

IDR.140.000,-

• Build up coverage
• Glossy finish - you do not need to wear lipgloss
• It does not dry or peel lips
• Pigmented color

Cons

• It fades out quick

Revlon PhotoReady Perfecting Primer Review and Swatch

Olla DDG,

Not everyone likes to use face primer -- i know -- but since we are living in a tropical humid country i think this step can not be skipped because the primer is the key for your make up to stay longer. It provides a layer to prevent make up absorbed into the skin.

Today i got this nice drug store primer product to review from Revlon. Revlon PhotoReady™ comes in two alternative primers, which are Revlon PhotoReady™ Perfecting Primer and Revlon PhotoReady™ Color Correcting Primer, which I think it is not necessary to choose Revlon PhotoReady™ Color Correcting Primer if your skin tone is even and if you have redness as long as it is fine - not like lobster, you absolutely do not need this one.

Product Information

According to their website: “Revlon’s NEW primers are lightweight primers that soften skin and diffuse light to help minimize flaws and even out skin texture. It creates a perfect canvas so that your foundation will glide on more evenly and smoothly. Primers can be worn alone or under foundation, and are oil free, talc free, fragrance free, paraben free. Try Revlon PhotoReady™ Perfecting Primer to soften skin, reduce the appearance of pores and fine lines, and smooth skin texture and tone.”

Packaging

 The packaging

This product is packaged in a glass bottle with a black plastic pump. You can control the amount of product without over doing it. The problem that usually happens with pump bottle like this is the product dries up where it is pumped out and chunky but that is not a big deal.

Texture

 The texture

It is a lightweight whitish pink gel. It does not drip or slip around when you pump it out. I do not have the “perfect” word to describe the smell – well, it smells a bit like chemical thing but do not worry, it does not stick around for too long. It will be gone after you apply it.

Application

Pump enough amount of the product out from the bottle and apply it with your fingers or brush in the entire of your face. If you apply with your fingers, make sure that you already wash your hand before you touch your skin, it is to avoid the skin to get pimpled. Apply primer after your daily moisturizer and before foundation. It can be worn alone or under foundation.

 

Primer applied in my hand (left) and primer applied in my face (right)

As you can see on the picture above, this primer blurred my pores and dark circles under my eyes. It looked pretty nice before i wore make up. It seemed mattify my skin in the first minutes i applied but after a few hours, my face started to get oily and the foundation i wore looked heavier even when i wore it in indoor in the evening time. I tried this primer with foundation for oily skin and also foundation for dry to normal skin. It held up a bit longer when i wore it with foundation for oily skin rather than when i wore it with foundation for dry and normal skin.

Price

IDR. 170.000,-

Pros

• It can be worn by those with sensitive skin since it is fragrance free
• It does not clog pores
• It feels weightless on skin

Cons

• It does not make make up last longer
• It does not mattify skin
• It does not reduce the appearance of pores and fine lines

Conclusion

Revlon PhotoReady Perfecting Primer is not a brilliant product but it is also not bad. For oily skin, it does not do a great job to control the greasiness. It does not keep foundation last longer for entire day, but only by an hour or so. Since it is designed for photography needs, i think it is ideal if you wear it for indoor photoshoot which does not take a long time. I would recommend this product for anyone who does not want to spend money for high-end product, and for those with normal skin who look for primer which has not greasy finish but also not mattifying skin.
