Review : Collistar Talasso- Scrub Termoattive

Last month, SaSa Malaysia was looking for guest reviews for Collistar Talasso Scrub Termoattivo . I submitted my application on http://blog.sasa.com.my/count-me-in-2/.

On 29 October, I received an email:

Dear Blogger,

Congratulations! You’ve been selected to receive a deluxe-sized Collistar Talasso Scrub (150ml) for our Guest Reviews Campaign!

Yes, I was lucky enough to be chosen as one of the guest reviewer.

I collected this sample size of Collistar Talasso Scrub Termoattivo (150g) from SaSa Sunway Pyramid.

According to the website, Collistar Talasso Scrub Termoattivo is a reshaping exfoliating salts with phyto extracts and essential oils. The special heat-effect of thalasso treatment is designed to exfoliate and reshape our body.

Exfoliating action
- Sea salts leave the skin instantly smoother, brighter and more toned.

Remodelling effectiveness

- Six different plant extracts with strong lipolitic proper ties act in synergy to reduce accumulations of fat. Their effectiveness is boosted by the heat effect, which stimulates the skin microcirculation and helps the active principles to penetrate, and by the draining action performed by osmosis by the sea salts.

Revitalizing power
- Lavender and rosemary essential oils revive the skin and give energy and wellbeing to the organism.

The ingredients list of Collistar Talasso Scrub Termoattivo.

This scrub has a pleasant smells like the aromatherapy scents. When I first opened it, I already liked this aromatherapy scents. I checked the ingredients list, it contains the lavender and rosemary essential oils. I like lavender!

1st Photo: I used my own spatula to mix the scrub and took a little bit out to try on my hand.

2nd Ph0to: My left arm before applying the scrub.

3rd Photo: I took a sufficient amount to massage it over my left arm (massage on DRY skin). After about 3 minutes of gentle massaging, the salts turn wet and I felt slightly warm feeling on my left arm. Next, I rinse off the salts with water.

Results: My left arm becomes smoother,brighter and of course it smell good!

Later, I tried this product on my body and I actually concentrated more on my thighs and tummy (Ops, I mentioned my little secrets here!). I used this product 2 times on my body, about once a week. I kind of like this product but honestly I can't see the slimming effects on my thighs and tummy. Maybe I should use it twice a week and take the measurements of Before & After on my thighs and tummy.

Product Rating: 4/5
Where to purchase: Any SaSa outlet
Price: RM145 for 700g

Once again, I would like to thank SaSa Malaysia for giving Collistar Talasso Scrub Termoattivo for us to do the review. :)

My Complimentary Makeover By Max Factor

I gotten this voucher from the Max Factor goodies pack during the Max Factor Launch @ Luna Bar. I decided to go Mid Valley to redeem the complimentary makeover.

1st photo: That's how i look like without makeup. My skin looks dull and have acne scars. 2nd photo: With the Max Factor Miracle Touch Liquid Illusion Foundation (Golden 75), my skin looks radiant and skin tone more even out. The acne scars also almost invisible without using any concealer.
3rd photo : The Max Factor Flawless Perfection Blush (Classic Pink 221) was applied on my cheeks. This powder blush blends easily into my skin and create a natural healthy looking flush on my cheeks.

Next, the Max Factor Earth Spirit Eyeshadow (110 Onyx / 107 Burnt Bark) was used as the base for the eye makeup.

The Max Factor Max Effect Trio Eye Shadow (7 Over The Ocean) was used to create the above looks.

My eye lashes showed a visible difference in length and volume after 3 applications of the Max Factor False Lash Effect Waterproof Mascara (Black).

The Max Factor Masterpiece Glide & Define Eyeliner (Black brown) is my favorite because it does not smudge. I have tried quite a few of eye liners and most of them smudge after 1-2 hours of applied due to my oily eyelid. But this eye liner does stay on and it doesn't smudge!

The Before & After Norahs.

That's me posting happily after the makeover.

These are the Max Factor cosmetics used in this makeover:  

Max Factor Miracle Touch Liquid Illusion Foundation 75 Golden, Max Factor Flawless Perfection Blush 221 Classic Pink, Max Factor Max Effect Trio Eye Shadow 7 Over The Ocean, Max Factor Lipfinity Colour & Gloss 580 Crystal Bronze, Max Factor Earth Spirit Eyeshadow - 110 Onyx / 107 Burnt Bark, Max Factor Facefinity Compact, Max Factor Masterpiece Glide & Define Eyeliner - Black brown, Max Factor False Lash Effect Waterproof Mascara - Black
