Review of Vitacreme B12

I loved to read other people's review before I tried any new products cause I think it helps me making an informative judgement before buying any product and not just solely depends on the sale's assistant persuasion. I've bought a couple of stuff without looking at other people reviews and regretting my purchase.

So, for this post I'm doing a review on Vitacreme B12. I bought this at AUD50 and I used this for a month day and night. So far, I don't think I will repurchase this cream again.

Some users have compared this cream to the famous and expensive cream, La Mer but better. I never used La Mer before but I've tried a sample of their eye cream but hate it.It stings my eye really bad, too heavy, doesn't absorb very well and no effect at all. So back to this cream, I think what I like most about this cream is that it absorb really well and it doesn't make my skin oily or cause any breakout.I have normal-combination skin and I think this cream did help to control my oil secretion.

When I first look at this cream, hmmm..pink.Not the usual colour for my moisturiser and I definitely can see that my skin looks glowing and more well rested I guess after few days using this cream. This cream come in a an aluminium tube (like toothpaste) to protect the active ingredients in the cream and prevent contamination of the product. After like 3 weeks of using this cream, this cream stop working for me. I don't know why but it worked just like any simple moisturiser. There is not a lot of product in this tube (I used 5oml). This cream doesn't have any SPF, so you need to put on other sunscreen on top of it during the day.

I think this cream is pretty expensive considering that it has only one active ingredient.If you look at the clinical studies that was done by the company, the studies was carried out at high altitude, at 2,600 metres on Mont-Blanc where most of the participants suffered from severe sunburns and peeling (desquamation) of the skin. Obviously, I've never been to any high altitude mountain like ever in my entire life and didn't suffered severe sunburns or peeling of my skin. So, this is probably why this cream doesn't have much effect on me. I think, giving any good moisturiser to people who suffered terrible sunburnt, peeled and wrinkled skin will definitely improved their skin condition because any level of moisturisation will helps to accelerate skin renewal and repair.

And the other interesting thing was, when I looked at the ingredients of this cream, one of the ingredient is Coumarin (or famously known as warfarin) which used as anti-coagulant for treatment of Pulmonary Embolus and DVT. Hmm..interesting, right?

The other reason I won't be repurchasing this is because this cream is not easily available over the counter or your local mall. I used to live in Melbourne but currenly I lived in Shah Alam, Malaysia and I don't know where I can get this product. I think for this price, I can find cheaper moisturiser that works equally well. I'm looking for a moisturiser that can give me more than just simple moisture but other other added benefits (eg: anti-aging, sun protection, brightening). But for anyone who wants to give this a try, I definitely encourage so because who knows this might work so well on you.

Selling Estee Lauder, SK-II and Dior foundation!!!

HOT HOT stuff for the ladies............!!!!

I'm selling my Estee Lauder serums and Dior Foundation.I bought these items last 2 months and have used them for a while.Even though these are used item, they all come in pump bottles, so there is no contamination of the products. So, I'm gonna sell them really cheap than the retail price.I bought them at Parkson and selling these because I'm changing brand ;)

1. Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Whitening Recovery Complex

RRP: RM290 (50ml)

Product description:
Works day & night to repair skin's appearance Prevents dark spots, freckles, fine lines & wrinkles Leaves skin with a renewed translucency finish.

My take on this serum, I think they should called this a brightening rather than whitening serum. It glides on skin like dream with a silicone-y feeling (very typical of estee lauder serum).Within two days, skin look more even-toned and dark spots diminished. I've combination skin and this hasn't broke me out. The ANRC concentrate as the name implied is a concentrated form of ANRC and you need to used this everyday for 21 days when you need high dose boost of radiance. Highly recommended.But the eye cream doesn't do much for me.I've seen no improvement of dark circle or whatsoever but doesn't cause any milia.Not so recommended.HAhaha...sorry lauder!

There are about 80% left in the bottle. I'm also giving three samples of Advanced Night Repair Complex Concentrate and used sample of Advanced Night Repair Eye Recovery Complex (about 40% left) for FREE!!!

I'm selling this for RM 150 (negotiable)













2. Estee Lauder Perfectionist CP+ Wrinkle Lifting serum

RRP: RM 225 (30 ml)

Product description:
This powerful wrinkle-correcting serum dramatically reduces the appearance of lines, wrinkles and age spots.

My take on this serum, I think this is great for someone whose skin has shown early sign of ageing. I think it helps with my fine lines but since I'm still young and not having any wrinkles yet, I think I probably doesn't need this serum but its great for someone aged 30+ who needs a good anti-wrinkle agent to fight those lines. Texture wise, it has very silicone-y feeling on skin and absorb really well.Doesn't cause any breakout whatsoever. Definitely recommended

I've used two bottles of the Pore Minimizing serum and it helps at first but after a while I just used this more as a primer and I love it because foundation just glides smoothly on skin and last longer.It helps with oil secretion as well.Definitely recommended.

There is about 80% of serum left in the bottle and I'm also giving a sample of Idealist Pore Minimizing serum for FREE!!

I'm selling this great combo for RM120 (negotiable)















3. SK-II Facial Treatment Mask 1 piece

RRP:RM235/6 pieces

Product description:
An intensive moisture-boosting mask which gives you 10 times Pitera®, to help restore skin renewal to its normal 28-day cycle. Deeply hydrates your skin, just like a facial, leaving skin noticeably more radiant, soft and crystal.

My take on this mask, if you haven't try this mask, definitely give this a go at least once. You'll love it especially for radiance boost before important event (pre-wedding etc).You won't be disappointed.


I'm also giving a sample of SK-II Facial Treatment Cleansing Gel for FREE!!!

I'm selling this at RM25 (non-negotiable)












4. Diorskin Extreme Fit Flawless Finish with SPF 15 PA+ (in 030)

RRP: RM 140

Product description:
Diorskin Extreme Fit takes smoothing, comfort and wear to the extreme with a stay-true, no-transfer and waterproof formula that lasts even in extreme conditions. Its innovative, patented Nano-Stretch Network creates an invisible, micro-aerated mesh for perfect color and finish, while the new-generation Hydra-Gel System guarantees optimal comfort. Keeps skin looking smooth and radiant, hour after hour.

To me, this foundation gives a dewy finish to my combination skin.Quite transfer-resistant (but I preferred Mac Studio Fix).It feels comfortable to wear as if you're not wearing any foundation on.Moderate coverage with flawless finish.My skin is medium fair (best example I think is Siti Nurhaliza ..haha).But please, do check out your shade at any Dior counter first. Definitely recommended.

There is about 80% left and I'm giving mini size Skin79 BB cream (about 40% left) for FREE!!!

I'm selling this for RM50 (non-negotiable)
