Beauty: Lipice Disney Edition Tinted Lipbalm by Mentholatum

Great news to all Disney lipbalm fans! The LipIce Tinted Lipbalm has a brand new look and comes in a cute, convenient tube. I really don't like having chapped lips, so this is a lifesaver for me. The black and pink design definitely give it a young and vibrant feel!

This lipbalm is extremely moisturising and nourishing for your lips, especially in Malaysia's hot and humid weather. It works to seal in the moisture for long lasting hydration throughout the day. It contains Meadowfoam Seed Oil and Collagen which can improve your lip texture, giving you bouncier and smoother lips with just one glide on your lips. There is also Vitamin E which acts as an antioxidant to help repair dry lips, keeping them healthy!

Personally, this usually keeps your lips moisturised for about 4-5 hours and I love the fruity berry flavour which leaves a slight pink tint on my lips.

This lipbalm comes in 3 shades with different flavours such as Baby Pink (Strawberry Flavour), Poppy Pink (Raspberry Flavour) and Berry Red (Wildberry Flavour). It is priced at RM 12.50 and you can find it at all leading pharmacies and supermarket.

I've tried out the Berry Red here and I absolutely love the colour on my lips :)

Beauty: Mist Eyebrow Embroidery @ Luminous Beauty Parlour, Desa Park City

It's been almost a year plus since I last had my eyebrow embroidery done. It was honestly getting a bit tedious as I haven't been drawing in my eyebrows since then. But, eyebrow embroideries usually lasts for that amount of time anyway, before you have to get a new one done. So, I was on the lookout for a place which does the Mist Eyebrow Embroidery technique as I've heard that this is the latest technology. There is less pain for this method and of course, that was what attracted me at first.

I decided to try it out at the newly opened Luminous Beauty Parlour @ Desa Park City. The place was exceptionally beautiful for a beauty salon in my opinion. It was well lit and decorated in white hues.

Well, for girls, this is an ideal place to take some OOTDs too! And, they do provide manicure services at the salon as well.

The beautician have to first draw the outline and shape of the brows before beginning on the embroidery. If you've done it previously, she will usually just follow back the similar shape.

After determining and drawing the right shape, some numbing cream will be applied to the brows area. Even though this method isn't as painful as the usual 6D embroidery, it is best to apply the numbing cream as everyone have different pain tolerance.

She then begins the embroidery from the tail of the brow, all the way to the front. This process takes approximately 10-20 minutes per brow. I find that she was very precise and put great care in ensuring that I was comfortable throughout the procedure.

After the embroidery, I had to apply this healing gel to improve the color absorption of the brows for 7 days. It is a colourless and odourless gel which dries out pretty quickly, so everytime I washed my face, it was advisable for me to reapply.

Thank you for such a great job on the brows, absolutely love it as it is very natural looking. I've listed the pros and cons below for those who are concerned.

PROS

- Less pain

- No downtime

- Natural looking

CONS

- None

This is what my brows look like after 7 days and I'm quite satisfied with the result :)

Daily: Celebrating One Million Ultherapy Treatment Worldwide!

Merz Aesthetics announced today that Ultherapy^® is celebrating the milestone achievement of providing one million treatments globally. Since its global launch in 2008, the non-invasive ultrasound device has become a game-changer in physician offices worldwide by using the body’s own regenerative response to gently and naturally stimulate collagen growth. This revolutionary treatment is the only U.S FDA-cleared non-invasive skin-lift for neck, under the chin and on the eyebrow. Now Authentic Ultherapy™ is also U.S FDA-cleared to improve the appearance of lines and wrinkles on the décolletage.

This treatment can be utilised on the face and neck area, especially for those who are concerned over their eye bags. Due to frequent Sun exposure, the UV rays have the potential to reduce the elasticity of our skin and increase pigmentation on our face.

“Ultherapy^® is frequently requested in my office because it’s non-invasive, naturally stimulates collagen growth, and provides visible results. Because of this, the treatment has become a favorite among my patients, so it is no surprise that it has reached such a remarkable milestone,” states Dr Cheok Jia Rhong, Aesthetic Medicine Practitioner (LCP Holder). “Not only does the treatment deliver these incredible benefits, it also requires little to no downtime, allowing those treated with Ultherapy^® to quickly get back to their everyday routines.”

Making the treatment even more popular among physicians, Ultherapy^®’s proprietary DeepSEE™ ultrasound imaging allows physicians to see the layers of tissue targeted during the treatment to ensure energy is deposited where it will be most beneficial. This unique technology is supported by more than 50 clinical studies, more than 60 published, peer reviewed papers, and over 100 patents worldwide.

“We’re extremely proud to be celebrating this milestone of treating one million patients with Ultherapy^® on a global scale,” said Philip Burchard, Chief Executive Officer, Merz Pharma. “Ultherapy^® continues to lead in the category due to its breakthrough, award-winning innovation, our dedicated physicians, and consistent patient satisfaction. We look forward to celebrating the next million treatments.”

The best part of this treatment is it utilises microfocal ultrasound which targets 3 layer of the skin and there is absolutely NO DOWNTIME! For natural results which can last up to 1 year with just a single session, it is highly recommended to try out this treatment.

Merz Malaysia will be celebrating the physicians who played a role in the success of Ultherapy’s^®1 Million Treatment achievement worldwide.

For full product and safety information, including possible mild side effects of Ultherapy^®, please refer to the Ulthera^® System Instructions for Use.
