VanityTrove Nylon by VanityTrove

A few days back, I just received my Vanity Box from Vanity Trove.

 

The products that are featured is super awesome. Ranging from Skin Care products to Hair Care Serum. When I saw the content, it's a must for me to get it. Price is reasonable for the number of product you get @ SGD$35.

 

 

Biotherm Purefect Skin Kit Trio!

 

 

This 3 steps skin care consist of a anti-shine purifying gel, Micro-exfoliating purifying toner and a pure skin effect hydrating gel. A few months back, I managed to get samples of this trio set from the Biothem counter, it is indeed a skin care product made for the people with oily skin. It's a bit drying but still works!

 

 

 

Lancôme Advanced GÉNIFIQUE Youth Activating Concentrate

 

 

Won't need this since I haven't reach the age to use Anti-Aging product, especially when I have super oily skin, will be passing this to my mum.

 

 

 

 

Kiehl's Ultra Light Daily UV Defense

 

 

Have yet to give this a try but I heard good reviews of this product. Looking forward to see how it will work for me. Kiehl always makes promising products!

 

 

 

Shu Uemura High Performance Balancing Cleansing Oil

 

 

If you have yet to give this a try, this is one of the best cleansing oil. I use this on days where I pile on heavy make up. Just a hand full is enough remove all the make up, including waterproof mascara. This thing works like magic!

 

Shu Uemura Gloss Unlimited Lip Gloss

 

 

Didn't try anything other than their eyelash curler from Shu Uemura. Got to figure out how can I pull it off since I don't really look flattering with cherry pink lips.

 

 

Kerastase Elixir Ultime Oléo-Complexe

 

 

Apparently, for someone with oily scalp, I don't really like the idea of applying oil to my hair. Even if it's only to the root, I'm still sceptical about the results. Will give this a try to see if it work for my dry ends.

 

 

Redken Smooth Lock Shampoo & Redken Smooth Lock Conditioner

 

 

I will bring this 2 bottles along with me when I go for my Thailand trip in September. Hope it works well!

 

 

 

Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat Illuminating Foundation





 

It's either you like it a lot or you simply hate it. This sheer coverage foundation is suitable on days where you wish to achieve a natural look. Gives off a subtle glow to the face.

Hair: Dry End, Oily Root?

Sorry for the lack of updates. I'm back!

Anyway, I have been trying a different way to shampoo my hair, hoping that it will help to solve my really problematic hair issue.

Okay, I have super fine hair and I do suffer from hair loss. (Not sure if it's hereditary or I just suck at maintaining my hair)

Not to mention I have super oily roots and my hair will look greasy when it reaches the afternoon. (I shampoo every morning and night). I can't be using shampoo that are too drying because I have dry ends and my hair breaks easily.

There was once I went for a scalp scan and was told that the reason why I'm suffering from hair loss is because my scalps are clogged. ( ~_~)
And the guy went on to promote this treatment that will treat my hair problem.. blah blah blah..

It's not that I don't want to give it a shot but I have spend way too much on this" claimed to work treatment" and I  seriously don't see any difference at all.

So there was once while reading the newspaper and I came across an article saying how can we treat oily root and dry ends.

"Condition your ends and shampoo afterwards".

Okay, I know that sounds rather weird but I have been trying it out for the past few weeks, can't really say I can see obvious changes but my root have indeed became less oily.

BUT! Please don't use a shampoo that's too drying. I tried it with my Nioxin shampoo and it's pretty much bad but it works when I uses my Kerastase shampoo.



Alright, besides using this method works. There are days where I bound to stay under the sun and will be active outdoors. My hair still look flat and oily within hours.

Solved it by using a dry shampoo. I bought my Oscar Blandi from Sephora. Works like magic!

You do not need a lot, just pump some product onto the scalp and massage it. It makes my hair more volumize and smell nice!

For a cheaper alternative, you can try body powder, works the almost the same too.
(NOTE: Everyone's reaction to a certain product is different. It may work for me but may not work for some of you)


That's it for today. Till next time~
