Talika Back Up 3D & Talika Bust Pytoserum (Review)

Talika Back Up 3D & Talika Bust Pytoserum, these two body shaping products are no longer new to us right? I have been updating my progress for the #TalikaBodyShapingChallenge  for these two products on FB, Instagram and Twitter. You can read more about the Talika Body Shaping Challenge HERE

I've completed the Talika Body Shaping Challenge and I'm very pleased with the results!

 

^-^

 Talika Back Up 3D

This body shaping product contains several ingredients that help us to achieve dream of lifted, firm and shaped buttocks.

GUGGUL

• Active storage of triglycerides in the adipocytes of the hypodermis (fat storage in the skin). Increases volume and plumps.

MARULA OIL

• Traditionally used in sub-Saharan Africa in diet and therapy care.
• Very nourishing, moisturizing, softening, rich in vitamin E and various nutrients.

NGALAMA BARK (“African Job”)

• Widely used in the sub-Saharan pharmacopoeia; it is highly anti-oxidant (protective), firming and smoothes the skin surface.
• Fights all signs of aging. This is one of the best kept secrets of Namibian women.

OHELIS (rye extract)

• Replaces the tension of the dermis by playing with the interaction of collagen fibroblast fibers and their contractible capacity. 
• It restores the strength of the skin by ‹lifting› the interior by retracting ‹muscle› fibroblastfibers. Stretching effect.

GINGER EXTRACT

• Active tonics that stimulate the microcirculation in the fight for water retention, activate cellular exchange, help to fight cellulite.

The Talika Back Up 3D comes in a hygienic pump dispenser. It is an user friendly product to achieve a satisfied results. I apply 2 pumps of the Talika Back Up 3D to the target area (you know where issit right? ^-^) twice a day after shower. 

The Talika Back Up 3D is a very light serum and with a pleasant smell too! It's non-sticky and it absorbs quickly into my skin after some massage with small circular movements. As for me, with 2 pumps from the light blue bottle, I massage the target area for about 2 minutes. 

My review:

28 days of applying this product, the lifting effect is very noticeable when I'm wearing tight dress and skirt. The lifting and shaping effects have achieved! I received  a lot of compliments from friends after this body shaping challenge. Now I have more confidence to wear my tight and fitted dress. Not only that, the skin at the target area also becomes smoother and the annoying cellulite has reduced. I still think that the lifting effect was amazing!

Talika Bust Pytoserum

This body shaping product is enriched with an all-new plant-based “Bust-Up” complex. If you are familiar with Talika products, previously Talika has another burst serum. This new product is like an upgraded bust serum that can deliver better results after application.

Same as Talika Back Up 3D, Talika Bust Pytoserum also comes in a hygienic pump dispenser. I apply 2 pumps of the Talika Bust Pytoserum to the target area twice a day after shower. 

This plant based bust serum has a light texture with pleasant smell.

The key ingredients in Talika Bust Pytoserum:

• The combination of mangosteen, quince and sea kelp bioferment encourages the natural retention of fats in adipocytes (fat cells) and improve skin elasticity in the chest area.

• Guggul (Commiphora mukul), a resin traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine extracted from an Indian myrrh-like bush, fortifies fat storage and increases breast volume.

• Naturally derived peptides reinforce firmness and breast tone.

• Hyaluronic acid plumps and hydrates skin.

• Oat sugars have an instant tightening effect.

• Rose extract and raspberry seed oil nourish and regenerate.

• Horse chestnut stimulates microcirculation.

My review:

28 days of applying this product, the target area has become firmer and more lifting. I can feel the tightening effect during my 1st week of application. The most satisfied results was the increases volume at the target area. :) This giving me a good opportunity to go for inner wear shopping! :)

That's all for now! A giveaway coming up very soon! Stay tuned to win Talika Back Up 3D & Talika Bust Pytoserum!

Castrol Launches CARAMA In Malaysia

Remember my previous blog post for "Facing Car Servicing Issues?". I did a brief introduction about what is Carama. The good news is Castrol has successfully launched CARAMA in Malaysia early this month. CARAMA, Malaysia’s FIRST Online Service for Trusted Car Care.

Castrol, one of the world’s leading premium lubricant specialists has extended its service beyond its lubricant business to the car care industry. Today, Castrol announced the launch of ‘Carama’ - a web and mobile enabled portal which simplifies car care, maintenance and workshop guide for consumers in an easy-to-use and one-stop solution. Ultimately, Carama helps to rebuild the relationship and trust between car owners and workshops.

A recent survey with over 400 respondents in Klang Valley showed the need for independent workshops to build a trusted relationship with car owners, providing them with transparency in pricing and assurance in the quality of workmanship, skills and equipment.

Carama Certified Shops was then conceptualised to address this issue by providing an overall quality score, based on a 40 point rigorous screening by our panel of independent third party experts, ensuring that these shops meet the highest standards of quality, skills, transparency, customer service, health and safety compliance. 

Commenting on the exciting new initiative, Sumeet Wadhwa, General Manager - Castrol Innoventures (Strategic innovation arm of Castrol), said: “Carama is envisioned to be the ‘go to’ site for car care in Malaysia, although we are still in the early stages of the portal’s development. Car owners have a high level of concern and uncertainty regarding maintenance costs, price and quality of repair for their vehicles. Carama will streamline the selection process and provide car owners peace-of-mind and confidence that they have made the right decision in their choice of the workshop.”

 

The Carama portal provides core features like accredited repair shop locator, spare parts calculator, my car logbook and Carama rewards. Car owners will also be able to share consumer reviews based on actual experiences of Carama Certified and Listed Shops. As Malaysia’s first social graph car care portal, Carama connects car owners to share their experiences and car maintenance tips with friends, family and the general public.

Wadhwa added Carama’s benefit to workshops and mechanics: “Carama will also benefit independent workshops and mechanics by generating valuable business leads for those who lack the capability to market their workshops, especially online.”

According to Roy Williamson, Managing Director of Castrol InnoVentures, “Carama’s vision is to become the  number one player in aftermarket car care and service space by connecting consumers, workshops and affiliates, through a one stop web and mobile enabled platform, leveraging Castrol’s heritage of trust and customer relationships. We are confident that Carama will change the aftermarket car care experience for all car owners, simplifying the maintenance of their car.”
