#CELESTRYS X ESSENTIAL CC OIL AND NIGHT CARE MILK

#Celestrys Essential CC Oil & Night Care Milk
"Good hair days make me feel like I can take over the world!"


To be honest, I have been using Essential for my own shampoo and hair mask cause they suits me very well for a year now. I used another brand XXX before, cause my hair to keep dropping.. *sad* So I'm currently a very happy user of Essential. 

When I receive their new Essential CC Oil and Night Care Milk... totally #happygirlisme!

FYI : The CC stands for Cuticle Care, which is like our BB cream which protects us from blemishes, UV rays etc.. CC Oil protects us from the 5 hair stresses like blow drying, dryness etc.

For me I "kiap"/straighten/curl my hair everyday with my Jose Eber Series. I usually use the heat setting at 220degrees so my hair stays better. Yes they are already so damaging

BUT... 
Do you know that external environment factors and some everyday habits may contribute stress on your hair and as well??

1. Blow drying: Heat damage/friction from blow drying
The process of blow-drying removes moisture from the hair, both outside and inside the hair - leaving hair dry, brittle and susceptible for further damage


2. Combing: Friction to the hair cuticles due to daily combing
Combing through wet hair causes great hair damage as the hair follicle is at is most fragile state. Likewise, the friction caused by coming through dry hair can form hair knots which makes hair prone to unnecessary breakage


3. Split Ends: Fraying of hair shaft due to dry and brittle hair
The ends of your hair are the oldest and driest parts. When the protective hair cuticle is destroyed at the end of the hair, the hair splits into two or more parts.


4. Hair Breakage
Besides daily heat styling, blow drying and brushing, other seemingly harmless actions like tying your hair into a tight ponytail or twirling your hair with your fingers exert excessive stress on your hair, resulting in hair breakage

5. Dryness: Dry hair that feels rough
Exposure to the sun, wind or even air-conditioning can result in hair dryness. The hair cuticle that protects the hair is weakened and is unable to retain moisture within the cuticles of the hair

I always start with towel dried hair when I apply my CC Oil. 

CC Oil forms a protective coat around each hair strand and protects your hair from the 5 hair stresses, leaving you with more beautiful, less tangles and manageable hair. You can apply CC Oil in the morning and can be reapplied any time of the day! (: 

Every of my hair strand is actually very thin and brittle. Everytime after I dry my hair and I want to comb, I always end up with "broken" hair all over my comb. *heartaches*



Here above is 1 pump of CC Oil. It's totally clear serum and smell really sweet. Just like my Essential Shampoo and Hair Mask.

I apply from my mid-length to the tip of my hair. I don't apply from my roots as it may get oily for my scalp.

Here is my aftermath after drying and kiaping with my hair straightener! All ready for work!

To be honest, I didn't expect to see much difference, as I have been using other hair serums as well. But oh my, I agree my hair do runs much more smoother with the CC Oil, and I see much lesser frills!

Look how healthy my hair ends looks!!!

No more frills popping out from my head! Loving how smooth my hair looks here...

Next up and we fast forward to Sleepy time! where Essential Night Care Milk will come into good use!
The Essential Night Care Milk protects the hair from “Pillow Friction”, intensively repairs and moisturises the hair in the wee hours of the night. Coupled with cuticle coat protection ingredients, its rich yet non- greasy milk formula weightlessly leaves hair smooth and manageable the next morning!

Okay I'm acting like i'm sleeping. I waited till the end of the night then I took the pictures for this to show how perfectly smooth my hair is after a whole day!

I apply this the same way as the CC Oil. 1 Pump is sufficient for my hair as i have very very little.. ):
Consistency of the Night Care Milk is like a moisturizing cream for you hair. Likewise, I apply from mid-length to the tips. Aftermath, I wait till my hair is totally dry before going to bed.

So....What is Pillow Friction??
When you toss and turn at night, there is friction between your hair and the pillow, causing the cuticles to be misaligned.. Misaligned cuticles creates frizz, resulting in the fabulous lion’s mane the next morning. The reason why I look horrible in the morning...

Washing your hair will ‘reset’ the mane, which is why many ladies have no choice but to wash and blow dry their hair in the morning before going to work. If not you will just look like you just had a fight! Hahaha. 

So which other ladies may not have the habit of bathing in the morning and is only doing so just so to fix their hair? 

Would you rather have more time for their beauty sleep than go through this hassle and routine of washing and blow-drying in the morning?!?! 

This is the reason why I'm so happy I found the answer. 



In conjunction to the release of these 2 products, there is a game on their facebook page right now, called Mane Hero https://apps.facebook.com/essentialmanehero/ (click here to play) 

I have been trying, but my highest score is only 1500. Try to beat me!!

Remember to avoid the Evil Hair Stress Brothers and the Pesky Pillow King! Grab as many bottles CC Oil and Night Care Milk as you can! Good Luck! Winner gets to win Essential Hampers every week and 2 Grand Prize winners at the end of 30th October! Remember to Like their Facebook also!


May all ladies be fighting along with me against the 5 evil hair stress brothers and the pesky pillow king with the help of CC Oil and Night Care Milk!

Both bottles are retailing at only $11.90 at many major shops like Watsons, Fairprice etc!


Till next time! *muah*

#CELESTRYS X SKIN SHAPE CLUB

#Celestrys Skin Shape Club Facial
"Never be too lazy to take care of your skin, a clear skin is your best canvas"


I have been going for weekly facials for the past 4 weeks at Skin Shape Club at Orchard Central. The location was perfect for me as I can always go shopping first before/after my session!  I was offered 4 free sessions with Skin Shape Club by Sample Store. Honestly, my first thoughts were..

"weekly?? not harmful to skin meh?"
"facial cannot always do one, once a month is enough"

That is where Skin Shape Club can come in and show you how they are different!


Skin Shape Club Facials are different in a way that they combines light and heat energy to offer you younger and healthier looking skin. It can help with your wrinkles, acne or pigmentation. 

These are a few points you should note for Skin Shape Club.
  • No Downtime – non-invasive, non-abrasive treatments for walk-in, walk-out convenience
  • Gentle Treatment – advanced technology keeps you cool and comfortable
  • Discreet – with no intense side-effects, no one knows unless you want them to
  • Fast Treatment – only 30mins, highly suitable for lunch time beauty fix
Let me give you some background info on Skin Shaper Facial that takes 30mins – combining light and heat energy, this treatment offers you younger, healthier looking skin. This facial program is designed by medical and dermal experts from overseas and locals using trademark registered LHE® technology (Light & Heat Energy) for skin rejuvenation, collagen renewal and acne clearance. With 3-in-1 skincare treatment, you can walk-in walk-out the Skin Shape Club looking better and confident. It's definitely suitable for sensitive and Asian skin too! (I have very thin and sensitive skin)
During my first session, I was lead to this room where you have to fill up your form, they have to ask you questions on your skin problems, any allergy etc. And your assigned consultant will take your body analysis! It actually will measure your water mass, body age, metabolism age etc. Thank god mine was fine... Hehe



After explaining to me the process and going thru my skin problems with me. Audrey brings me into their bigger room for my session! For facial, there's no need to change into their robes. Unless you are doing their body treatment, there is a robe for you to change into. I kept my belongings into the locker and my sessions starts~!

So I laid down and all ready to start my treatment! They'll always start with double cleansing first. Making sure all my makeup is removed before the treatment starts. Here are some pictures of my before from my first and second treatment!

As you can see my skin is patchy and red, sensitive at some areas. ): and many small clogged pores


Here is where the light *zap zap* will start. I didn't manage to capture the light here in my first visit. But i managed to caught it in my second visit! It's a bright light which actually is 0 pain at all. But you might get startled at the first few zaps.


Some background on the LHE that they use.

And for people with Acne skin.. it helps alot!

After zapping your whole face, here comes the mask! It's a mud mask which helps tighten your skin. As it dries up over the next 15mins, you can feel that your skin tightens up!

And here is my after! Skin is slighty brighter! I wouldn't say it improved a lot because I only went for 2 sessions, but let's see! After 2 sessions, my skin actually DID brighten up!

They recommend you to have 6-12 weekly sessions to actually reach the optimal results and switch to monthly visits for maintenance thereafter.




I am awaiting for my third and fourth session to see much more improvements!

After the session, you are advised to avoid direct sunlight or use oily/alcohol based products for the first 48hrs. Note: Always put sunblock and moisturizer after

After the session, it does not end here. You get to head on to their club lounge where you get to chill and EAT!! Which treatment you went actually provided you food before?! And what'smore, it's healthy food!

The first time I got Egg Mayo with Crackers.. I lost the photo (please box me)
In my second sessions I had healthy cereals with milk!

And what I mean by chill at their lounge area.. I mean this... HAHAHA I very horrible.

Okay la, Joking. There is areas where you can sit to read magazines and even reviews from past customers!



I am excited and looking forward to my future sessions with Skin Shape Club!
