If you follow my twitter you must have read that I was chosen as one of The Body Shop BFF, yay! 

The Body Shop BFF is a new program from the local TBS, there are 12 chosen BFFs and each of us would receive and review TBS products for 6 months, so if you're always wondering about TBS products you might want to follow this blog and my twitter (links at the right sidebar) to know more about The Body Shop products.

So anyway, as one of the twelve BFFs I was invited last week to The Body Shop "Beauty With Heart" event at the XXI Lounge, Plaza Senayan. 

"Beauty With Heart" is the new TBS campaign, exclaiming that a true beauty is not only from the outside but also from within. The definition of the "Beauty With Heart" is: "Look Good, Feel Good and Do Good". 

Look Good: as a result of the use of TBS products made from natural raw materials that delivers benefits for skin health and body.  

Feel Good: as a result of feeling comfortable using TBS products because these products originate from a brand that cares about human beings, the earth, and animal protection.  

Do Good: through engagement with the brand that encourages and take concrete action to help others through fair trade programs, commitment to animal protection, and a real effort to protect the Earth.

These three themes were incorporated into the event by dividing the area into three sections. The XXI Lounge where the event was held was the first place that we walked into. It was decorated very nicely and was divided into two areas to resemble the "Look Good" and "Feel Good" theme. 

Let's check out the Look Good area first:

In this area you can find an array of TBS products displayed on a long table in the middle of the room and you can try all of the products there! You can play with their skincare and makeup products, try everything that you've been wanting to try, and there's also a free consultation and free makeover too!

The second area is the Feel Good area:

In this area you can try their Fragrance, Body Care and Bath&Shower products. I finally get to smell every fragrance they have, and my favorite is still the White Musk ;p 

In this area you can also get free treatments such as mini hand treatments as you can see on the above photo.

There were also a Photo Booth where we could take our photographs taken with "a green earth":

And the result:

And last but not least, the Do Good area:

We were ushered from the Look Good and Feel Good area to the Do Good area which is actually The Body Shop store. Here you can see their campaigns and values as well as noticing their new concept store.

This "Beauty With Heart" campaign launching is in conjunction with the introduction of TBS new concept store called "Pulse Store". The new Pulse store were designed like a boutique concept, with warm and welcoming atmosphere, and encouraging customers to try on different kinds of products as well as learning TBS values. The Pulse Store uses friendly materials such as certified wood and bamboo.

TBS also introduces Lily Cole (model and actress who is also an activist) as the International ambassador for The Body Shop.

Pssttt, I will be having another giveaway soon ! So please subscribe to my blog or be my follower for further update on more giveaways, or you can also follow me on twitter :D

Hi everyone! As I mentioned earlier, my schedule is kinda hectic these days so I would like to say sorry to my sponsors for some late posts and sorry to my lovely readers for this sporadic posts. 

Right now is already 8:20 pm and I still need to do a lot of things tonight (pheww..).. 

So anyway, here's a quick post for you... I want to make a short introduction of a special product that I have the opportunity to try..

A couple of weeks ago, Talika Indonesia lent me one of their Best-Seller product which is the Talika Light Duo !! I have been curious about this device ever since I saw it at the Talika grand launching event back in April.

This Light Duo is a revolutionary anti-ageing and youth treatment device that uses a particular light wavelengh to treat 2 skin problems at once which are: wrinkles and dark spots. 

You see... I love technology, and I love skincare, so this Talika Light Duo is like a dream come true for me ;) This is beauty care combined with technology, how wonderful!

The Light Duo is specially designed by TALIKA laboratories as a portable device with each side emitting a distinct light wave:

- on one side is the light 590 that reactivates collagen synthesis and elastin production.
- and on the other side is the light 525 that regulates the production of melanin which responsible for skin color.

With a continual use of both these treatments combined for several weeks (around 1-2 months), wrinkles can be smoothed and dark spots can be reduced so the skin would look more plumped, radiant, and younger-looking.

The suggested use for this device is 28 days (for the anti-wrinkle light) and 60 days (for the anti dark-spot light) until we can really see the result. So I will be using this Light Duo for a few weeks and will review it later and report back to you to let you know the end result - so please stay tuned and subscribed! ;)

So as I told you previously, I'm gonna talk about the L'Occitane Angelica series especially the three products that were given to us on the last L'Occitane event. The three products are:

The Angelica Instant Hydration Mask,

The Angelica Cleansing Gel,

The Angelica Hydration Cream,

Actually we were also given another few samples from the Angelica range but today I would like to specially highlight these three products instead.

The Angelica is a plant with tremendous vitality and amazing water retention structure. L'Occitane has patented the combination of organic angelica essential oil and water from the Drome region for it's effectiveness on skin hydration and vitality. 

The patented complex is clinically proven to increase the synthesis of Aquaporin by 39%, giving intensive hydration and vitality to the skin. Aquaporin are skin water channels which can circulate one billion water molecules between skin cells in just one second. The best way to moisturize skin instantly is to enhance the synthesis of Aquaporins.

L'Occitane introduces Angelica product range that re-hydrate and revitalize skin with instant and long-lasting results. And I was so lucky to be able to try several of them. Here is my first impression on the three products that I received along with other mini samples...

First up is the Cleansing Gel...

The cleansing gel softly removes makeup and impurities, while preserving the hydrolipidic film of the skin.

I love it. It's a clear gel type and you use it as facial wash. It doesn't irritate my skin and didn't dry my skin at all after washing. My skin felt clean afterward and it has a fresh grassy scent to it too, very refreshing. I love the packaging too because the bottle has a tiny hole in the middle so we won't spill too much product in our hand. It doesn't lather much but it surely does it's job really well.

It also says on the bottle that this gel can remove makeup so let's try it! I put some water-resistant makeup too to see if this cleansing gel can actually removes stubborn makeup:

And look how the gel really cleanses everything off! And I only use like a tiny bit of it! I add water, scrub it off slowly and all the make up are gone in an instant, wow!! This is one hell of a make up remover, fast cleansing at it's best.

It's an ultra fresh and water-soaked gel that re-hydrates the most thirsty skin in only 3 minutes.

I love it. I've never found a face mask like this one. It's a 3 minutes mask (fast result!) and it's a clear mask too so you can actually do your normal activity while putting on this mask because it doesn't show on your face. Is that genius or what? This mask has sold me out from the first time I tried it! Love the instant 3 minutes result, very practical and won't interfere with your daily activities. AND because it's a clear gel you can use it anytime while doing anything, even while working ;p because no one would probably notice that you're wearing a facial mask ^o^

Fresh and silky smooth, this cream integrates the patented Angelica Complex to instantly and lastingly moisturize and revitalize the skin.

My take:

I received this in a travel size / sample jar, the texture is a rich cream lotion that feels soft to the touch. It feels rich and yet it absorbs rather quickly to the skin and hydrates it instantly. It also feels smooth and smells wonderful. All of the Angelica products smells like a fresh green grass.. relaxing and comforting at the same time...

I also love this Hydration Cream because it feels so soft and silky smooth, just like what it said on the packaging. It also instantly hydrates and moisturize my skin. My skin looked more plump and moist after using it.

Overall, I love all of the products L'Occitane gave us and this is my true opinion about it. After a less than 10 minutes at-home treatment with the range above, my face looks more healthy, plumped, and moist all day. Love this range!
