ITOH Collagen Powder Review

Hello

Today's post will be a review on the ITOH Collagen Powder drink which is endorsed by Taiwan Beauty Guru of Lady's First, Kevin.

What it is?

Colour-less, Tasteless, Non-Sugar, Non-fat Collagen Powder

Contain 3000mg of Collagen per sachets, that can be dissolve to any drink or soup. Can be taken throughout the day

 

Using a special technology to extract collagen from Pig cartilage and Pig Skin and conform to a powder form.

Low Molecular powder enhance the absorption of collagen, to capture all the benefits that collagen contributes.

 

Suitable for both male and female, 18 years and above, all you need is just 1 sachet a day.

 

 

 

 

My Thoughts:

 

Having tried a few collagen drinks, this is the first time I come across a collagen drink which you can mix with your soup, drink, milk, honey etc. My first reaction; will it change the taste of my drink? Fret not! It is tasteless, just like it claims. However, there was an after taste when I mix it with my chilled mango juice. Also it clumps in my drink. I assume that it will be colourless if you mix it with something warm and won't have any clumps.

 

The small sachet is also convenient for you to throw it in your handbag. I also do not have to worry about reminding myself to drink it a few times a day because you only need 1 a day, anytime of the day.

 

With all beauty products, you will not get immediate results, which is the case for me here. So I can't say much on whether this will make you stay young forever.

 

It is great if you are looking for a collagen drink but hate the taste or smell of most collagen drinks. This is also suitable for all skin types.

 

Where to buy?

 

Available at Guardian, the ITOH Collagen Powder retails for $49.90 (14 sachets). You can also try a sample sachet by heading over to SampleStore's website

CLIO 3 Step Lipnicure Review

Hello

The 1st manicure for your lips! Clio's Lipnicure is a long lasting liquid lipstick that stays on just like a manicure and offers a full blast of colours with just one swipe! This anti-smudgeproof lip product will retain its colour from the first application giving you kissable lips for up to 12 hours.

Directions:

 

 

 

 

I picked up 2 out of the six, 8 Guilty Pink & 2 Nasty Pink

 

 

The base/primer swatch clear. It has SPF13 and moisturise my lip well.

 

 

Just like any other clear lipgloss, it adds shine to your lips for that luscious finish.

Swatches are done with just one coat

Bottom swatches with top coat

The water test.

Pat dry with a tissue

 

The smudge test

The removing test with one swipe of cotton using Bioderma

 

 

 

My thoughts:

Colours are so pigmented however, the shade range is very limited. I would love to see some browns or more neutral colours added for everyday use. It might not appeal to those who are afraid of bright colours. Application wise, you have to be very careful and it does need extra effort to get a perfect shape. It also felt drying and tight on the lips after about a minute once applied. Maybe that is the reason why they have the base and the topcoat in the range. With that said, the colours stay on forever even with constant eating, drinking and talking! Do note that it is better to apply this with a moisturised lips. Better yet if you exfoliate first! Also, I use an oil based eyes and lip makeup remover so I do not have to rub excessively to remove.

 

All in all, I do like this product and will definitely purchase more if there are more neutral colours rather than BAM-WHAM-IN-YOUR-FACE colours.

 

Retailing at $18.90 for the colours, $11.90 for the base and $14.90 for the topcoat, you can get them at Watsons.
