The Good and The Forbidden

PATYKA Huile Absolue – Easily A Holy Grail Material

January 22, 2018 Comments : 2

Oh, my goodness. Where to start.

Before I go in, let me just say that I felt extremely lucky and floored to be one of the first few people who can try PATYKA’s products and it has been a blast so far. This luxury organic Parisian brand (ECOCERT) is truly a breath of fresh air to the local mainstream market. With gorgeous boxes and nifty packaging, down to the formulations, they’re a complete package. I am really excited about their presence in Indonesia and I hope they continue to be.

If you’re a skincare junkie, especially if you appreciate niche (and cleaner) brands, PATYKA is worth the attention. They have quite a broad range of products to suit different skin types. There’s something that bounds to catch your attention. Albeit, they’re not the most accessible before but now we can get them at C&F online website (C&F is the company that brings PATYKA in). I am also still begging them to start carrying the products in more retail brick-and-mortar stores so more people can play around with the testers.

Out of everything I’ve tried, there is one hero product that is worth the reps and I need to share to you firsthand.
That is PATYKA Huile Absolue* and I absolutely adore it!

Leahlani Champagne Serum – Happy Hour Any Time!

July 6, 2017 Comments : 5

I’m aware that it has taken me this long to review this product. I’ve used it for nearly two years and mentioned it often in my blog and Instagram. Even with the multiple requests, I failed to deliver. I think it’s because I want people to try this product with no expectations or reservations. It was a beautiful discovery on my part and I wish for others to experience the same.

Or maybe, it’s the other way around. Sometimes I feel selfish not wanting to share great gems because in several occasions, the product went sold out and I wasn’t able to have a back up LOL. Well, sharing has its pros and cons. That being said, ultimately, I’m most happiest when I can help others 🙂

Here you go, it’s time to put it down, digitally. May I present, Leahlani Champagne Serum.

My Japan Holiday Trip – Skincare Routine

March 10, 2016 Leave a Comment

I thought I should share what skincare products I brought and used during my recent Japan trip. This particular one is special because I’ve yet traveled in any winter weather since I started my skincare journey few years ago. So let’s just say this is sort of an educated experiment that turned successful.

Obviously, I researched and visualized the weather conditions and temperature. It was the end of winter, coming into spring. With that in mind, I had a general idea of a set of products that I want to bring with me. Of course, they have to fit into my skincare bag. I had to negotiate here and there to make sure the bag isn’t too heavy. The total weight overall came to around 1 – 1.5 kg, I think. Or probably more *HA*. The bag did feel heavy.

Another info you need to know is I got sick a couple days before my departure. Sore throat, fatigue, headache. All escalated into one nasty cold, congestion with frequent coughing within the first few days of my trip. Thank goodness, I was prepared.

Without further adieu, let’s get to it!

Sunday Riley Artemis Face Oil – Fixer Upper

October 20, 2014 Comments : 15

I turned into a face-oil convert ever since I experienced the lovely benefits from my first one, Trilogy Rosehip Oil Antioxidant+. And after the success of Sunday Riley Good Genes and the wonders it brings on my skin, what better way to expand my face oil arsenal by getting one of the oil offerings from the brand.

It took me quite some time to write this review because I had a hard time finding the right words for it. The oil itself is rather complex and I am still a newcomer in the face oil-world. But let’s try, shall we?

Face Oil Virgin: Trilogy Rosehip Oil Antioxidant +

September 16, 2014 Comments : 3

Now, let this be an advance notice that I am a beginner in the whole face oil territory. I’ve only started using face oil dutifully sometime earlier this year. I began interested in face oil after reading DesZell’s article about the Trilogy Rosehip Oil Antioxidant+. Believe me, I still had that why-the-hell-do-I-want-to-put-oil-on-my-face look. But then, lucky strike came along and I got this at an auction for an extremely good price, or shall I say, cheap! I thought, hey, why not give this a chance.

I tried this a couple of times, three, max, and decided I didn’t like it. Or, more like I was confused about it. I feel it didn’t quite fit right into my still-raw skincare regime. And so, I left it on my vanity table for the longest time. That was in 2013. Not until I read the article again and by then my skincare regime had fully grown, I felt the need to give this another try.

BASIC SKINCARE ROUTINE

Cleanse – Hydrate – Moisturize – Protect (SPF)

Double Cleanse at night, a must!
Sunscreen at daytime, always – after moisturizer.

Exfoliate regularly, as necessary, and don’t overdo it.
Don’t forget to use a Hydrating Toner after Exfoliating Acid Toner to prevent dryness and irritation.

Opt for calming and soothing products more than anything else. Pick gentle cleansers. Aim for hydration and moisture. Maintain the skin barrier.

Proper hydration and balanced moisturization are key to achieving a healthy skin, even if your skin is oily.

Always be gentle on your skin.

PATYKA Intensive Moisturizing Mask, it has this Pa PATYKA Intensive Moisturizing Mask, it has this Parisian je-ne-sais-quoi quality that is just effortless. This product reminds me of something that I’d love to carry during long-haul flights. After cleansing the skin, just apply the product and either watch a movie or go to sleep to avoid the jet lag. And reapply when needed.

Into the description, it’s formulated to give a hydrolipidic film to the skin, or rather, to protect the skin barrier and strengthens it when needed. It contains an ample amount of emollients and Hexapeptide-11; a chain of peptide with 6 amino acids that are used to increase collagen production, boost elasticity and firmness in the skin. The mask also acts as an SOS product.

The slightly pale bluish-cream gives out a heavier moisture that it looks actually. I thought it was just going to be on the lightweight side, but turned out, I do not need it as much. It can be applied thicker, leave on for a 15-20 minutes, massage it in and take the excess off if needed. It’s great but, no, I do not want to waste this whatsoever 😂 So I always use it as sleeping mask after a serum or a face oil (PATYKA Repair Night Serum is a great complement to this btw!). It’s beautiful that way and quick too.

It softens my skin, making it filled with nourishing moisture to last through the night while snuggling in my blanket. And perhaps, during my travels, in my dreams 😴😴

The unique floral powdery scent is quite an echo to the other PATYKA’s products. This is another interesting find from the brand. Available at @cnfstoreofficial.
