[BEAUTY] Davines ; Sustainable Haircare.

If you think my scalp treatment by Davines was impressive, well, today i'll be talking about the varieties that you'll have by Davines! I was invited to attend the autumn/winter preview for Davines, an Italian hair care and styling brand which never fails to impress. I cant wait to share more about it, as this might really be treading BIG this coming year end season.

The Essential Haircare line.

The conditioners.

The brand itself has a very sustainable packaging where everything was carefully designed to satisfy the needs of the customer. And personally i think this particular brand would be one of the few brands that i know who cares for the environment. Going green is definitely trending, in order to save the environment and Davines has considered the weight and the volume of the product to reduce its environmental impact. Plastic usage was minimized, and the type of plastic used is the food grade kind to be sure that the content wouldnt have any chemical reactions. There was a lot of thought put into such an amazing product dont you think so?

Did you also know that they also help save special breeds of plants from extinction by working with Slow Food Presidia and farmers from all over Italy? And i think its a great way to spread the awareness to people on the extinctions.  Their products are highly natural, biodegradable, free from parabens and sulphate too which has been carefully designed to suit the customers needs. Instead of using sulphate, they use a more organic option to still keep the foam fun the lather on your hair.

^This guy right here is Italian.

Some information on the packaging.

We even had a someone all the way from Italy to explain to us about Davines' Essential Haircare line. And i absolutely love the fact that all the information stated are so minimal, yet meaningful. You can even find information like the farmers name and the location of where the ingredient came from in Italy. Now thats why i call transparent information right there.

Some of the varieties available.

No one likes to memorize things, or at least i think most of us dont. haha. So Davines has decided to use cute nicknames for their products, to be easy to to remember and it does give a cute ring to it too right? Above would be the nicknames of their Essential Haircare line, followed by whats the function. So have you found out which type suits your hair yet? Pretty easy huh?

Presenting the "More Inside" range.

They really make use of the wrapper too!

And now, lets check out their hair styling products. I know my eyes was all over their "More Inside" range. They come wrapped in beautifully-patterned paper so its always like your receiving a present each time you receive it. The fun doesnt end there, as when you flip-side the wrapper, theres  description to tell you more about the product on different ways to use it. Functional and creative dont you think so?

Some demonstrations on how to use the products.

That sexy volume ;)

Moving on on the hairstyles for Autumn/Winter 2015, well its all about gold and honey tones this season, perfect to compliment the shades of the season. And from the photos above, i think it pretty much said it all, BIG, BOLD and BEAUTIFULLY sexy. haha. We were shown on how to create extra volume using the products and a hair brush, and youre good to go in less than 5 minutes.

The art of colouring your hair this Autumn/Winter season

What amazes me was the colouring technique applied on this model to create a natural gradient to the hair colour. The secret to achieving this colour was by using something they called falmboyage which is a transparent sticky sheet that assist into getting the colour to blend in naturally. This style needs no touch up as once your hair grows, it makes it seem that you did it on purpose. *Jaw drops*

An edgier type of colouring, two tone colour.

Its also about texture, and a on the go hair style.

Healthy curls to die for.

What makes Davines unique is that they have hair styling products specially made for those with curly hair too. So if you have problems with styling your curly hair, Davines has the answer for you! I personally got my eyes caught on their Shimmering Mist from the "More Inside" range that instantly shines your hair. Who does love shimmers on their hair?

Presenting to you the Autum/Winter hairstyles for 2015.

The complete "More Inside" range.

Here i present to you the More Inside range which i absolutely love the prints on every bottle. Its easy to differentiate it too if youre planning to get the whole set of it. haha (Woops, guilty for wanting everything from this range) From moisturising mousse, hair sprays, sea salt spray, and more, its no doubt that Davines has already did a lot of research on the needs of the consumers.

The Essential Haircare line.

I managed to get some sniffs on the aroma of the shampoo, and guess what, they dont smell like saloon! They smell very fresh and a hint a nature, literally. Doesnt smell like chemicals at all! This brand sounds promising to me and i cant wait to give it a go. I'll be trying out the Minu for coloured hair and we shall see how it turns out soon! ;) Keep a look out for my Minu Shampoo and conditioner review soon!

For more information on Davines, do head on over to their official website. Theres more to come! Stay tuned in ;)

Your Newborn Beauty ; With Purevivi, Dot Free and Baby Foot.

Yeap, thats me in a Robe.

Before i say anything else, LET ME EXPLAIN! haha. I bet you find it hilarious that i look like im in my pyjamas with a robe on. But im innocent! Watsons had a surprise for their media members to have a relaxing time during the launch of some products which came all the way from Japan! So, the minute u arrived, i was told to change into these garments which were oh so comfy, and to be honest, i wasnt sure what to expect.

One of the comfiest launches i've been to.

The launch is held in Ossoto which was like a theme park for spa lovers with tons of choices to choose from on what to do. And the media members were all directed to the media room for the launch and of course, the highlight of the entire event was to actually spend the evening with Cheesie, a blogger who is famous in Malaysia & all over Japan too!

Presenting Cheesie in the house.

The event kicked off by having a short Q&A session with Cheesie, and to my surprise, she's actually petite in person. I absolutely loved her bubbly personality and the emcee event asked her whats the difference between Malaysian men and Japanese men? Can you guess what she answered? She said that Japanese men are more fashionable compared to men in Malaysia. haha. Common boys, gotta keep yourself up with the trend here. *im kidding* hehe. As long y'all are comfortable in your own skin, that A-ok with me.

Cheesie showing her regime with the products.

As there are 3 products to be highlighted for the launch, we had Cheesie to get a volunteer to personally try out the Dot Free products onto a lucky volunteer to get live  instant feedback. This volunteer right here was lucky enough to get his face touched by the one and only Cheesie which amused guest. HAHA. It definitely amused me too. hehe. And the feedback was that he said that the collagen left a cooling feel at the end of the application which he said felt moisturising and relaxing. Or maybe, thats similar to what he meant. haha.

The Baby Foot Mask

Whats inside the box.

Now for the fun part! Guest for the day managed to get hands on during the launch by getting to test out the Baby Foot Mask. Cheesie recommends this particular foot mask because from what she said was that her husband loves it! So yes boys, Japanese men take care of their skin too. She mentioned that this foot mask actually gives you baby foot after a week. Too good to be true? Well thats why we were given the opportunity to try it on.

Some explanations on why we have rough skin on the foot.

How the mask looks like.

How it works? In each box of Baby Foot, comes with a pair of foot mask which is to be worn for about 30 minutes only! So its ideal that you wear this while youre watching your favourite show and the wait would be a breeze. What happens next? After 2-3 days, your skin will start PEELING. Yes, literally, like a snake shredding its skin. And believe me, it did shred on my feet after 3 days, but it didnt hurt or anything. I was so surprised that my skin literally felt like a newborn layer too. Definitely planning to get my second pair already! hehe

The PureVivi, 4 in 1 multipurpose cleansing lotion.

The second product introduced during the launch was the PureVivi, 4 in 1 multipurpose cleansing lotion.  This is actually a water based cleansing lotion which contains Kidachi Aloe, which is used for healing, nourishing and soothing. And if youre wondering what are the 4 functions that this cleansing lotion can do? Well, it removes make up, cleanses, moisturises and soothes the skin. This could be ultimate makeup remover if you ask me! I already got my hands on a bottle, and i will definitely give a review on this soon :) So do stay tuned on that.

Dot Free Resilience Line

Dot Free Medicated Line

Last but not least the Dot free! The concept comes from blemishes, dry skin and wrinkles, which are also known as the 3 dots of skin problems. Dot Free has come up with a solution to achieve genuinely beautiful skin  by coming up with a product which contains live collagen. Live collagen provides superb moisture care to the skin and because of that, the top selling package from Dot Free would be the Dot Free Resilience Line. This Dot Free Resilience Line contains 3 types of collagen including live collagens, permeable collagens and succinylated atelocollagens. But if you want brighter skin, go for the Dot Free Medicated white line which contains triple whitening formula.

Me with the famous Cheesie. (Thanks to Miera for this shot)

Managed to get a shot with Cheesie and she's like my height! hehe. She has a very humble personality which is no wonder she is loved and adored by fans around Malaysia and Japan. So if youre looking for good products which are actually good, these products will be available in Watsons starting from today! Get your hands on the Baby Foot mask, and you'll get how good it is. hehe

Food is available at Ossoto.

Me and Anis got a back and hand massage while we were there.

Will be writing a review on the products when i have time, so if you want to know more about it, be sure to leave a comment below and i'll get right to it! I always love to know if youre ever interested with the products i mention. Hehe. So for more information on these products, be sure to visit http://www.tokyoninki.com.

Till then, do stay tuned for my updates ;)

CLIO Professional's Tinted Tattoo Kill Brow [REVIEW]

CLIO Professional's Tinted Tattoo Kill Brow, what is this tinted tattoo brow? Well its for your eyebrows, and it stays longer than you can imagine! Was invited to the launch thanks to Muse by Watsons Malaysia, and The Butterfly Project for having me. If you know me well enough, I'm not good at drawing my brows, therefore i would skip the eyebrows and go on with my day. But now, guess i won't have to worry anymore, and here's why:

Introducing to you the CLIO Professional's Tinted Tattoo Kill Brow, the latest innovation to get on point eyebrows which looks natural and stays longer! How cool is that? Im sure we all would have those days where we use our 'brow pencil' which we would usually end up having too thick eyebrows or the alignment is just off.

At the launch, we had a professional make-up artist to demonstrate to us on how to get your makeup done with the make-up at Muse by Watsons and i must say, that the whole process was effortless. I managed to take some photos on the process of the make over, and won't you agree with me that the model looks very natural even after the make-up session?! And thats what make up should be doing, to enhance the features on your face, not make you look like you're someone else.

During the demonstration and the tips that was shared at the event, we managed to get a hands-on session with the Tinted Tattoo Kill Brow which amazed me! The reason why behind this invention was because Korean's are always on the go, but they usually groom themselves pretty well, from facials, to skin cares, to make up. And with all these routines to rush with every morning, the Tinted Tattoo Kill Brow would save you time on getting your brows ready and fresh in less than a minute!

After applying Tinted Tattoo Kill Brow on model. (Perfect Brows)

The Tinted Tattoo Kill Brow has 2 simples steps to achieve the perfect brows:

The First Step:
You use the Tattoo Pen and draw out your brows. But as mentioned by the friendly staff at Muse Watsons, it would be better if you leave it on overnight and let it dry for eight hours to dry while you sleep. As odd as it sounds, it was recommended to draw them before you head to bed. The purpose of leaving it overnight would be to achieve fuller brows and less artificial looking.

Second Step: 
With fuller brows when you wake up in the morning, next would be to apply the brow mascara. And thats it, easy peasy!

Top swipe: Tattoo pen
Bottom swipe: Brow Mascara

The best part of CLIO Profesional's Tinted Tattoo Kill Brow would be that you have an option to have it thicker or lighter which depends on when you want to draw out your brows with the Tattoo pen. I managed to actually try applying the tattoo pen right before applying the bro mascara and i was pretty impressed with the result. The mascara brow was very easy to be applied and it doesn't clump, which makes you look as natural as you can be. Here are some shots of me trying out the CLIO Profesional's Tinted Tattoo Kill Brow at home.

BEFORE getting my brows done

Lining my Brows with the Tattoo Pen

After lining it with the Tattoo Pen, i used the Brow Mascara to even out my brows

And waalah, no hassle at all! 

As you can see, with 2 easy steps, it was definitely effortless to get perfect brows. Also not to forget that I'm not good at drawing my brows, this isn't half as bad as i would usually draw them on with a brow pencil. The tattoo pen stays very long and it would stay for around 2 days if you don't remove it with make up remover, so yes, it even stays after showering a few times. Perfect for on point brows when you're going for a swim ;) HAHA.

CLIO Professional's display table

Tinted Tattoo Kill Brow, RM 95.30

This product comes in three lovely shades which would be Dark Brown, Soft Brown and Earth Brown to suit your hair tone. The one which i was using in my trial at home was in Soft Brown, and it doesn't affect me in any way! I would suggest that the lighter tones makes you look more natural and if you prefer more defined brows, then go ahead and use the darker tones.

Now, as for the price, since its shipped all the way from Korea, its slightly on the high end side. Priced at RM95.30 each, but its of course the latest innovation of drawing your brows. So if you want to keep up to date with the latest trends, or always on a busy schedule, this is definitely recommended as it saves time! I went to Korea recently and spotted their store at Myeongdong too! Hello CLIO Professional's.

Club CLIO Professional's, at Myeongdong, Korea.

So yes, it is a definite Korean brand if you're a fan of Korea. Or if you're planning your trip there, why not drop by the store itself. But fret not, because you can also get it at Muse by Watsons store in Sunway Pyramid for your convenience.

There are other collections from Clio in Muse by Watsons as well, so do make sure you check them out if you happen to be there.
