Thanks to Tiphanie and Pearlin for the invite to this exclusive event to get to know more about the new Vichy products.
I was surprised that Vichy actually manufactured their own brand of sweets :) It was very refreshing...
Before the start of the event, we were being treated to sandwiches and salad.
We were given a brief introduction on what Vichy is all about.
The main ingredients in all Vichy products is Vichy Thermal Spa Water.
Vichy Thermal Spa Water = The Power Life Water
It's known for its excellent tolerance on sensitive skin.
Test done on Vichy Thermal Spa Water against other brands have proven: - highest protection against environmental aggressors - highest mineral content among all spring water brands
The key benefits of Vichy Thermal Spa Water: - Soothing: Anti-inflammatory and anti-irritant - Fortifying: Strengthens and protects skin tissue against ageing - Regenerating: Stimulates cell renewal
The active ingredients found in all Vichy products are: 1) Vichy Thermal Spa Water more than just water, it is a true health promoting active ingredient that soothes, fortify and regenerates the skin.
2) Aquabioryl A new generation ultra-hydrating ingredient that amplifies comfort and soothing sensations, giving softness to the skin. Intensively hydrates 100% of the epidermis.
3) Hyaluronic acid Penetrates into the skin and protects it from harmful external agressions. Locks in water molecules for 24 hours. Creates a protective film on the skin's surface, which acts as a barrier against water loss from skin cells.
The new Vichy product, Aqualia Thermal Mask was also introduced.
After the presentation, we were given the chance to try out the best selling product, Vichy Eau Thermale. It can be used as a hydrating mask by spraying the product on a dry pill mask.
After hearing all the goodness about the product, I can't wait to try it on my face. I thought facial mist could only be use to hydrate the face but I wasn't aware that they could be used as a hydrating mask too.
After about 20 minutes of application, I could feel that my face is very hydrated and supple. The face appears more plumped and radiant and I like this mask because it leaves a soft powdery finish on my face which is so smooth and helps to lock the moisture.
I sprayed more facial mist on my skin after the mask and I love the smell of the mist as it's very refreshing and the mist is very fine hence it's easily absorbed by the skin.
I tried Vichy Aqualia Thermal Aqua Gel for a month
Ingredients:
I feel that my skin still feels very hydrated and supple when I wake up the next morning and I can simply splash my face with running water and continue with my usual skincare steps without having to wash my face with cleanser. The moisturizing effect is very good and doesn't feel oily at all. This works very well on my combination skin. I even used it as a sleeping treatment for my skin once a week by applying a thicker layer on my skin and slowly massage in before I go to bed.
I also tried Vichy Auqalia Thermal Mask for a month.
How to use:
Apply a generous layer on make-up free skin. Leave it for 10 minutes. Rinse or wife off excess. Avoid eye area. Ingredients:
I used this mask twice a week to constantly keep my face well-hydrated as dehydrated skin can easily cause fine line and wrinkles to form. The effects of this mask is quite similar to the thermal water + pill mask. I could see that my face appears more radiant, hydrated and supple. But this take a much shorter time and I love this mask because i use this as an emergency treatment to my skin when I don't have enough sleep. In the morning, I'll apply a thick layer of mask on my face and leave it on for 10 minutes. After which, I'll do a little massage with the mask before I wipe away the excess. I can feel that my face becomes more radiant and lifted. My skin doesn't appear too dull.
I feel that these Vichy products are very nourishing for my skin and prepares my skin for the makeup as my makeup stays on longer throughout the day and it becomes much easier to apply the foundation on my skin.
A wonderful invention from Vichy laboratories indeed!
A few weeks ago, I attended L’Oreal Bloggers event at L’Oreal Academie. This event was to introduce the New Revitalift White range and the new spokewoman for this range. She is none other than Hebe Tien (田馥甄)
We were introduced to L’Oreal Revitalift White and its efficacies. This is an amazing product as it claims to fight 15 Signs of Ageing with 1 Solution.This is definitely a multi-tasking solution for busy, time-pressured women in their mid 20s and it’s a solution to fight the 1st signs of ageing!
Harsh environmental aggressions such as sun exposure and pollution, coupled with hectic and stressful lives contribute to the appearance of premature ageing in women in their mid 20s. Revitalift White Day Cream SPF18 is developed specifically for these women who are not quite ready to use an intensive anti-aging treatment for deep-set wrinkles or visible loss of skin firmness, but who still seeks to fight the first signs of aging.
It is an “all-in-one” solution, designed to simultaneously address the 15 key signs of ageing in one single step:
1. Reduces dark spots
6. Tightens skin
11. Smoothens skin
2. Reduces fine lines
7. Evens skin tone
12. Lightens skin tone
3. Improves suppleness
8. Protects against UV rays
13. Enhances luminosity
4. Reduces wrinkles
9. Brightens complexion
14. Softens skin
5. Boosts radiance
10. Hydrates skin
15. Fights signs of ageing
The Key ingredients used for this product:
Pro-Retinol A (Prevents Premature Ageing): Reduces wrinkles and fine lines by stimulating cell renewal Helps to thicken the epidermis for a complexion that looks soft, smooth and supple
Vitamin B3 (For Fairer, Translucent & More Radiant Skin): Evens out patchy skin tones & lightens skin without a trace of brown spots or pigmentation by inhibiting the transfer of skin-darkening melanin to skin cells
Shea Butter (For Hydration) Holds moisture within your skin and strengthens the lipid barrier in your skin, leaving your skin soft and glowing
Application:
Revitalift White Day Cream glides like silk over skin and melts easily for a light and refreshing feel. Upon application, this pearly cream leaves a nice sheen over the face for an immediate skin-brightening effect.
It works.
100% saw reduction in fine lines 93% saw a clearer complexion and fairer skin
* Based on 40 women who used Revitalift White Day Cream SPF 18 for eight weeks.
Hebe possesses the independence and strong will of a modern woman, as well as the passion in her career in song-writing & performance. Possessing charisma and self-confidence, she is the natural choice when L’Oreal Paris started the search for a new Asian spokesperson.
“L’Oreal Paris is an internationally acclaimed brand that offers quality products that are value for money. I’m glad to be able to join the L’Oreal Paris Family of spokeswomen and inspire women to believe that as long as you work towards what you want, every woman is worth it.” Says Hebe.
Despite having been in showbiz for many years now, Hebe still exudes youth and energy that endears her fans to her. Perhaps owing to her busy schedule, Hebe subscribes to the philosophy of keeping things simple. This allows her to maintain a healthy balance between work and personal life. L’Oreal Paris Revitalift White Day Cream fights the 1st signs of ageing and targets 15 skin problems all at once, simplifying her potentially complicated skincare regime. No wonder this is the one skincare product she swears by!

After the introduction of the products, we were given the opportunity to design mirrors to fit into the theme and I was pretty impressed with some of the designs from other bloggers. In general all decorated mirrors are very beautiful and pretty.
This is the complete Revitalift anti-ageing range:
I was given the opportunity to try out their new Revitalift Advanced Whitening Spot & Wrinkle Corrector Essence and Revitalift White Day Cream SPF18.
I love the texture of this product as I only need about 2 pumps for my whole face. The product glides on easily and it’s very moisturized after application. It’s absorbed very quickly during application. I’ve got a lot of pigmentation around my cheek area so I’ll use another pump of the product on my targeted areas. I noticed that my face appears more radiant and the spots also appear lighter with just one application.
Revitalift White Day Cream SPF18
Ingredients:
My reviews after using it for 3 weeks:
I was surprised with the texture of the cream as I thought it’d be very thick but it’s quickly absorbed by the skin. It glides on easily and doesn’t leave a sticky feeling on my skin. I just need about the size of a 20 cent coin for the whole face. After the first application, I noticed my face looks brighter and skintone appears more even. I also noticed my laughing lines are less visible too.
I’m very amazed with these products as I noticed that some of my spots have lighten noticeably and my face appears more radiant and the skintone are more even. I would recommend using these 2 products together to maximize the effects and the results are certainly comparable to those counter brands or even better results than some counter brand products. I’ll certainly purchase these products again.
