Review - Talika Skin Retouch

Brand: Talika

Date : August 2012

Link/Facebook:http://www.facebook.com/TalikaMY?ref=ts

I got this sample from KLCC counter, the promoter taught me how to apply the product very briefly, but I managed to Google more information where it seems there need to have some technique on applying this cream.

Product details:

Product	Size	Est. Price(RM)	Normal Size	Est. Normal Price(RM)
Talika Skin Retouch			30	162

Additional Information :

It is cream type, and I read a few review on how to apply this cream. In the end, I found my own way and that plays good on my face. I like the after application feeling, it is very 'plastic' feel, but I feel smooth, dry, and oil shine free, for very long hours …. BTW, the secret of applying it is, no matter what you applied before it, make sure your face is 100% dried (or absorb), then only apply this cream, if not, it will be extremely messy, the cream will mix with the product applied earlier, and it won't dry up, worst case, you will see patches of white spot ...

Perricone - Cold Plasma Deluxe

Brand: Perricone

Date : 8^th July 2012

Place: KLCC

Method: Swap with any skincare worth Rm300 and above with Perricone MD Cold Plasma Deluxe.

Always following Miss Sunshine's blog, came to this notice posted about Perricone product swap. http://sunshine365days.blogspot.com/2012/07/perricone-md-7-days-challenge-free-cold.html

Curiously to understand how they know what's the price of my product, but I couldn't get any further information on this swap in the internet. Eagerly wanted to try on a miracle product, especially with this kind of $$ product, wanted to see what is the miracle in between that they can ask for so high price.

So, by not purposely going to KLCC, I brought my salon brand (not counter brand) to KLCC. Isetan KLCC promoter told me they already out of stock, I went to few steps away Parkson KLCC, yeah, they have the product, but sorry, salon brand is not acceptable as they don't know exactly how much the product cost. They want some brand that is 'nearby', e.g. those that present at Parkson KLCC, so they can check the price of your product before swapping the Perricone MD to yours.

So be smart, bring something all recognized and best with price tag (hahaha... don't think I see price tag for any counter branded skin care) ...so that you won't be disappointed ….

Additional Information :

There were some technical glitch during the registration via SMS. But Olay really response fast and resolve my registration with no sweat. Thumbs up for Olay :-).

I went over to KLCC roadshow, which is the first roadshow for this promotion. I was early, but luckily I didn't need to wait but welcome by the beauty consultant to start the 'test' immediately. She was very kind and she shared a lot of her experience and also the Olay product range knowledge to me. We tested the product by applying on 1 side of my face in order to see the different.

Well, the mirror is doing it job well, I can see every single wrinkle that was crawling on my face even without wearing my spectacles. And, ta-da,: the wrinkle marks really get lighter and some small one even 'disappear' after 5 minutes (without having any facial movement). Amazing and happy I am able to bring the whole bottle home to start my 'battle with the crawling lines'. What's more, Olay also having their gift-with-purchase promotion during the road show, which according the beauty consultant it is very rare Olay doing this kind of promotion.
