[Beauty Review] Visit to Elevatione Time Stops by Salvador Dali on 13 April 2017

When I first heard of Elevatione Time Stops by Salvador Dali, I was surprised that Salvador Dali, a prolific artists of the twentieth century, actually endorsed for skincare and cosmetics.

After I visited the outlet located at 333A Orchard Road Mandarin Gallery #01-17, I finally realised that all the creations are inspired by the "melting" clock painting by Salvador Dali.  In his honour, Elevatione will stop time, send the clock’s hands ticking backwards and allow women worldwide to control their own destiny. 

Elevatione Time Stops by Salvador Dali was a brand born and manufactured in Israel, 2013.

You can walk into the store and the friendly staff will assist you to find out which products are suitable for you.  There is a machine that analyses your skin type, the melanin level, bacteria level, the level of sagginess of the face, etc.  

It was very interesting to see the results of the scan and it made me realised how important it is to take good care of my skin.

Elevatione Time Stops by Salvador Dali has six ranges of products, namely Preserve Your Youth, Repair Your Youth, Body Art, Pearls, Travel Kit and Special Kits.

Ok, let me test the device out because I had fallen in love with the limited edition Swarovski studded device!  It felt so glamorous just holding onto it... lol!

BSKIN, Smart Skincare for the Smart Consumer, Media Launch on 22 Sept 2016

When I was invited by BSKIN and Bolt Industries to attend BSKIN media launch on 22 Sept 2016, a revolutionary skincare brand, cuts through the marketing hype to design a carefully curated range based on science, I was extremely curious to find out what the products can do for the skin.

The event started with an introduction of BSKIN.  Designed from the ground up to be the smartest, most effective skincare brand in the world, BSKIN doesn’t sell hype, hope, models or elaborate bottles. What BSKIN gives you, the consumer, is the confidence that you’re making the right choice by offering a completely unique skincare range that represents the harmony and balance of nature’s most effective anti-oxidant ingredients, acting synergistically to improve the quality of your skin. With a combined 50 years of experience working on skincare development and a total of 47 patents in stem cell, peptide, zymogen and enzyme research, BSKIN researchers and scientists were challenged to push the limits of skincare and ingredient technology.

BSKIN’s product formula base contains its proprietary 6CORE System, comprising of nature’s most effective anti-oxidant ingredients such as Vitamins C and E, coenzyme Q10 (pea phytoplacenta extract), alphalipoic acid (broccoli extract), and glutathione (asparagus extract) into its products using patented processes. Every single detail – texture, fragrance, quality control, stability, efficacy, has been rigorously tested and graded in order to meet the brand’s exacting standards.

Its 6CORE System is further enhanced by the finest extracts of bee-based ingredients such as Royal Jelly, Propolis, Pollen and Honey mixed with pure natural Jeju spring water to create Bee Complex water, or “B2O”. B2O exhibited extremely interesting properties in healing, moisture control and vitality. 

It also increased the effectiveness of the active ingredients in the formulation.
Finally, each product is stacked with unique key effective and synergistic boosting ingredients designed to penetrate the epidermis layer of the skin so as to deliver maximum results.

“So many women, myself included, as well as men have been buying into the hope of getting ‘perfect skin’,” says Su-Mae Chia, Key Leader Regional Marketing of BSKIN. “But now, I have come to realise that it’s about whether my skin is balanced. We’re all going to have our good days and bad days especially with hormones, no doubt about that. But BSKIN gives me the confidence that it is doing the best for my skin no matter what and I like that reassurance.”

Review of V10 Plus Skincare Products, World's 1st Skin Supplement Concept

V10 Plus is a revolutionary supplement concept founded by Mrs. Akiko Yokota.  She strongly believes that Beautiful Skin=Clean, Bright, Glowing Skin without any makeup, hence she worked towards finding the perfect skin solution to skin problems and also make anti-ageing a natural process as well.  Together with Chemist, Mr Nobu, who has 19 years of experience in the skin-care industry, the serums are researched, studied and self-tested by Mrs Akiko Yokota ad Mr Nobu themselves to ensure that the finest quality of result proven serums are brought to customers.

As you can see the reason why the founder called the brand V10 Plus is because there are 10 colourful bottles of serums that target different areas of skin concerns.  The word 'Plus' means you do not need to change your current skincare products.  All you need to do is to add in the selected serum/s into your skincare regimen.  There is also one bottle that is opaque and that falls under special care which I would explain later in the post. 

V10 Plus products can't be bought over the counter and they are only available in selected spas, beauty salons and nail salons.  The reason is that a consultant will have to go through a consultation with a customer, before recommending him/her the serums which are the most suitable.

The top 10 selling points of V10 Plus serums are:

1. No Paraben
2. No Artificial Colour
3. No Mineral Oil
4. No Chemical Fragrance
5. Water Based
6. Customized Serums for 10 Skin Problems
7. Dermatologist-tested
8. Visible results in Just 10 Days
9. Colour Therapy from Colourful Bottles
10. Made in Japan

 Apparently, Fann Wong, Singapore famous actress, has been using V10 Plus too!  Look at what she has inside her bag.

The colourful bottles were very eye catching indeed and simply so pretty to look at!

Besides the serums, V10 Plus has also other skincare products, ranging from cleansers, water based peeling, gels, eye treatment cream and sunblock too.

 I was very honoured when Mr Tony Tjong, Marketing Director of V10 Plus, approached me to try out their revolutionary skincare products.  Thanks Tony!

Guess what Tony prepared for me inside this very pretty bag? :)

Cool!  I have gotten a V10 Plus Water Based Peeling which is an extremely interesting product as it effectively removes dead skin cells, even though it doesn't contain any beads or grains.  Yes... no harsh scrubbing needed!

Use this product 1-3 times a week depending on your skin condition.  For normal skin, once a week is fine.  For oily skin, 2-3 times a week is great.

This product comes in a gel form and how does it help in peeling to remove dead skin cells?  I'm gonna to reveal the secret of this amazing product.  Check out my youtube video below.  I just started my blog in my YouTube Channel.  Do kindly support by subscribing to it.  Thanks everyone!

One of the two serums I tried was V10 Plus Vitamin C Serum which contains Obaku Ekisu (JTN) Extract, which has an anti-acne formulation.  It helps in synthesis of collagen in the skin, so that pores are minimised.  It also helps to cure inflammatory pimples. 

The other serum was V10 Plus Quasi Serum.  It focuses on the chemistry of melanin metabolism to bestow a beautiful brightness on the skin, bringing out clarity and fairness from every angle.

It contains active ingredients such as Salix Alba(Willow) Bark Extract and Hydrolysed Prunus Domestica that inhibit the formation and accumulation of melanin and prevent dark spots and freckles.  With its water base texture, it leads to bright , radiant and translucent skin.

The serums are very easy to apply.  After you wash and tone your face, drop three drops of the serum into your palm and apply them onto your face.

After that, continue with the next serum using the same step.

 Again, apply the serum onto your cleansed face, day and night.

I have also gotten a V10 Plus Deep Moist Gel to moisturise my face and keep it hydrated throughout the day.  It is one of V10 Plus latest product that contains 75% Hyaluronic Acid Complex, that moisturize your skin from deep within.

Also, the V10 Plus LX Advanced Eye Treatment Cream consists of Malus Domestica Fruit Cell Culture(Apple Stem Cell), Plantago Major Seed Extract and Vaccinium Myrtillus Leaf Extract.  It helps to bolster the skin eye area's resistance against dryness and maintains the vital moisture at the best optimal level to restore skin elasticity and firmness.

I will be visiting a nail salon and beauty salon which use V10 Plus products and will blog about my experiences.  Follow this blog to see how V10 Plus products can be incorporated during manicure, pedicure and facial services.
