Assalamu'alaikum,

Hi, before January ends, I like to write best skin care products in 2014. I prefer to write best skin care than makeup products because I tried a lot of makeup products. That's why I can't decided which the best makeup products in 2014 *lol*. However, my skin can't lie which is better. When I was a teenager :P I have uncomplaining skin condition but now my skin has many problems. It because I heart makeup so much #lol, so I must invest my money to buy skin care products. 

Taraa... they're best skin care products in 2014 based on my version XD

Maybe in 2013, I didn't really concern about healthy lips but last year matte lipstick is being trend. Guess what! I'm a person who is following a trend,hehe. So if I want a pretty matte lipstick has pretty appearance in my lips I must take care of  my lips :P. I'm scrubbing my lips once a week and using a lip care as a day and night routine. My favorite lip care product comes from local brand, it's Sariayu Lip Care. It has a mint sensation that I like much and of course it gives moisture effect. The important thing is I can get it with very affordable price. You can check in online.marthatilaarshop.com.

The part of skin care routine which I can't leave every week is scrubbing,hehe. I often wear face mask and of course I did scrubbing before it to exfoliate dead skin and make my skin smoother. Since I often  wear a mask, I prefer a less rough scrub. My favorite is also from local brand, Biokos Exfoliating Lotion. What I love much about this product is gives tight and smooth effect on my skin. Although, if you want  blackheads or whiteheads go away, you need rougher scrub.

Finally, I can't hold from the famous product from SK II, FTE (Facial Treatment Essence). If you ask why I took a travel size picture? because I purchased in travel size packaging. Until now, I've spent 10 bottle in travel size (10 ml). I want to buy a full size (75 ml) but I'm afraid the bottle is broken in shipment. If I live in Jakarta it doesn't matter, I just go to a mall and buy in SK II counter but I live in the place where I can't find a mall *lol* 

Many friends ask to me how it works in my skin but I was lazy to make a review because I don't have a real product *I mean in full size packaging*. However it was one of my favorite skin care in 2014. Favorite question that asked to me is "is that really make your skin like a crystal?" hohoho Of course not :P, but it helps to stabilize my skin. I often got a breakout and it can being worse and I hate it. It often happen because I  used so many products. But after I used FTE, my skin looks more calm. I still have breakout but not really worst. That's why I love this products though it didn't give crystal skin look effect to me *lol*

As usual, I tried a lot of mask products. And my favorite mask in 2014 is Mint Julep Masque. I won't talking much about this product because I've wrote the review, you can read here: http://ofisuredii.blogspot.com/2014/09/queen-helene-mint-julep-masque-review.html

Yay, my best serum in 2014, Clinique repair laser focus,hehe. Even though I haven't had wrinkles yet, I like how it transfer into my skin. You also can read my review here: http://ofisuredii.blogspot.com/2014/05/new-clinique-repairwear-laser-focus.html.

Maybe that's not my favorite but it's what I needed the most for protecting my skin from UV. I tried a lot of uv protection products or sunblock but the texture is annoyed me, but it wasn't.

Assalamu'alaykum,

holaa, I'm back with amazing serum from clinique, if you mentioned before, I posted about Clinique repair laser focus wrinkle & photo damage corrector. It was good and I see a lot of improvement in my skin texture after using that serum for 5 months. I plan to repurchase if this serum run off, but Clinique Indonesia sent me their new clinique repair laser focus and now the complete name of serum is smooths, restores, corrects. I was excited to try it because the old repair laser focus is good for my skin.

This is new reformulated serum which delves one step beyond lines and wrinkles to deliver twice the smoothing result as before. Repairwear Laser Focus Smooths, Restores, Corrects is delivering 63% of the visible wrinkle reducing power of a dermatology in just 12 weeks. Really? :P hahaha. Clinique re-evaluate the original formula from old Repairwear Laser Focus with new ingredients which contains new skin resurfacing technology. It encourages gentle yet effective exfoliation to reveal smoother, more radiant looking skin. 

I'm twenty two but I choose anti aging serum from now. If you ask why? because I see some wrinkles in my skin like under eye and my forehead. It's not noticeable but I love to prevent wrinkle from now, I want my skin younger than my age,hehe. If you want to know, new formulas from new repair serum contains from

Acetyl Glucosamine: this formula holds dead skin cells on the surface of the skin for a more natural shedding process.

Salvia Sclarea (Clary) Extract: It derived from Salvia Sclarea plant. The function  is to support the final steps of cell differentiation and exfoliation by promoting the reformation of skin barrier. I was curious about Salvia sclarea plant, It was cute and the flowers is purple^^

Oke, let's start with the packaging. I'm not complaining about the packaging, It's simple but sleek with pipette. However I little bit scary to bring this on vacation because I will cry if this bottle is broken,hehe so I never try to bring this anywhere. My bag is so messy if I go anywhere hehe

This serum comes in two different sizes, 30 ml and 50 ml. The price for 30 ml is IDR 725000 and 50 ml is IDR 950000. It is suitable for all skin types and ages XD. See? It doesn't matter ,hehe. My friends is complaining if I choose an anti aging serum #lol.

I thought that this new serum is focusing to make glowing skin beside helps skin's texture for a younger look. I used this new serum about one month (day and night) and I notice that my skin more radiant and glowing than before. Sometimes I thought that my skin tone has change but it was not, my skin texture is just better so it looks more radiant. 

Ingredients

These are repairwear laser focus serums, the old and the new one. The packagings are same, same bottles, colors and sizes. I put those serum in separate place because It's difficult to mention the different if I'm not reading correctly,hehe.

The texture for smooths, restores, corrects serum is lighter and  the color is whiter than photo damage, but  I think they have same scent. Maybe you can't see the different clearly on my hand but if you really see both you can easily mention that the wrinkle and photo damage (old) looks cloudier and the new one look whiter. 

You can see that the new serum absorbs faster than the previous one. I must wait little bit longer for the wrinkle and photo damage (old). I feel that the new serum is more liquid maybe because of that they can absorb better. The old one is more sticky than the new serum. I mean the previous serum isn't sticky at all but if I compare with the new, photo damage is more slimy. The new is lighter.

This my skin condition after using new clinique repair serum. My skin isn't perfect XD I suddenly have a lot of white head (purging) in my cheeks. But it's not because this serum, I mention that happens after I change my toner. However I feel that my skin more radiant, smoother and feel tight after used new clinique repairwear serum. When I used the previous clinique serum I didn't mention that my skin being more bright. I just feel smoother and clearer but now I feel that my skin brighter. Omg, I'm so happy because I was stop using whitening or brightening cream, my skin little bit sensitive if using that. I read some reviews about new clinique repair serum fade acne scars but it didn't give significant result for me in one month I used new serum. I got a lot of improvement in my skin texture, I can see the significant improvement with new serum than the previous one. It also repair my flake skin after microdermabrasion in two days. I have oily skin and the new serum didn't make my skin more oily. Although it's suitable for all skin type, I think that it will be perfect for dry skin types,hehe. I hope it also can minimize my pores but I didn't see the result yet, I hope it will work for a long term used.
