Hiruscar, a Story.

You know, i have a very acne prone skin, and so i have lots lots and lots of acne scar. This is the main reason i rarely post my FOTD in my blog, beside the fact that i want it to be a place to post my beauty collection only.

Sometimes, my face isn't that bad. I got several months of a very good condition, and it's going bad again. Perhaps, it's because of the product i tried, or the environment, or just my hormone.

I was in a bus, somewhere in Hongkong at the first time i saw an media advertising of Hiruscar. I don't remember exactly about that ads, but all i know is i need to go to the nearest Watson from my uncle's place to get this. Long story short, i got a tube, brought it home, tried it and love it. Oh and i asked my cousin to get some extra backups when she went to HK a month later.

Now, for my condition. That time, i also bought some Meiji Amino Collagen (which i never write a review about, but you might have heard about it) as i think some collagen would be good for me. I drank it a spoon a day, religiously, for several months together with my hiruscar. And you know, i got an amazing result. Most of my acne scar are faded and the other areas are getting better. Do i need to say i'm loving this combo? :D

Then i started to realize i got some extra cute little pimple everyday. As i stated above, i know i have an acne prone skin, and it's not a new thing for me. But i do some research (google-d) and i think it's because of collagen i consumed. Then i only drank collagen every two or three days. And i stopped using Hiruscar religiously.. Oh well, i know it was my fault.

I was trying to use Hiruscar again, but it never works as it used to be. Maybe because i'm stopped consuming Collagen or what. But i'm still continue using my backups (the last tube, btw) and hoping for a good result.

Some picture you ask? Here they're :)

I think this packaging are the old one, or this one is for HK region? Dunno.

The product i have is made in Thailand.

They also included a broschure about Hiruscar, it's function, and how long do you need to removing a scar. For example, you need a month for surgery's scar and 3-6 months of use for acne scar.

I think it's also depend on kind of scar you have and how bad they're. But now, as long as i know, Hiruscar also have another version for post acne scar only and maybe it's more effective.

The ingredients, if you're care about them.

It doesn't contains of parabens, but has DMDM hydantoin instead. And there's fragrance stated in the latest part, but i never got any scent at all.

The tube is sealed with something aluminium like, and it can easily stick with the stick on it's cap.

Hiruscar has a gel texture, no scent (which i've mentioned above) and completely transparent so you can use it day and night without any problem. It tooks several minutes to be absorbed and i usually use it after toner (in "essence" level).

Even if it doesnt work as well as it used to be, it's still doing some help for the new acne scar. If i use it right after i pinch my acne (stop do it!!!), it would help to make my scar gone in 3-7 days.

I wouldn't repurschase, but will try the post acne version later.

Revlon ColorStay for Oily & Combination Skin in "Sand Beige", a late review.

Hello Blogosphere!

I know it's kinda late for another Revlon ColorStay review. While everyone already move to Revlon Whipped Cream and or Nearly Naked version, i'm stick with the ColorStay one.

But still, i think all of them are different and have their own fans right?

Revlon ColorStay is one of my very first foundation. I bought it about March last year (2012) and i haven't finish even half bottle! And it's only contains 30ml of product, like many foundation out there.

Right, i need to review this one before the product going to be expired X))

it's must be very familiar if you have revlon counter near you ..

The bottle is made from heavy glass while the cap is made from sturdy plastic.

The only active ingredients is titanium dioxide 7.3% which is for sun protection purpose.

However, i never think SPF 6 is enough for your skin. And it's add a slight white cast on your skin.

Revlon ColorStay only have a big hole under it's cap. Nothing else.

It's greasy and not hygienic if you care about that, and impractical.

So there is the product!

Mine is in Sand Beige. The SA just saw my skin in few second and decided this shade is for me. Sometimes it's kinda too white, but when lightly applied, it's works really well.

As you can see in my picture, it does blended so well on my inside arm. Below, i provided my reader with a before - after look to give you idea about coverage :

I'm not confidence enough to post my face before and after here, so i show you the before-after look of my birth marks. They're not that bad, and located on the opposite of my left elbow arm.

I applied Revlon ColorStay heavily and that's the result. Not bad, eh?

And it's stay the whole day on my face, only faded after i wash my face. For a foundation, it has a pretty nice oil control, but i'm still need to prepare my face in manner before wearing this.

I'm kinda like this foundation, but i'm mostly use it for special ocassion because i don't want a medium to full coverage foundation for my daily look, but i will not repurchase it. There's so many foundation i need to try, LOL.
