I was invited to attend the New Pond's White Beauty (Re)Launch event in Hotel Mulia, Senayan. So, let's talk about what's so special about this product that Pond's decided to relaunch it!

nice decoration everywhere

What's so special about this New Pond's White Beauty Translucent Pinkish White is the natural ingredients; it contains Korean Ginseng and Saffron.

star of the night!

Typical Indonesian women are long to be fair and beautiful, but now the definition of beautiful has shifted a bit into translucent pinkish white (in Indonesia it's jernih putih merona). Pond's has acknowledged this and fulfill that wish of Indonesian women by using Korean ginseng and saffron.

Real Korean Ginseng!

Real Saffron, it actually smells really really nice!

Actually, I also realized this trend. Personally as a girl, I don't want to be fair and pale. Well, I don't wanna be a vampire like the Cullens. Looks dead and has no soul, eh?

sorry I ain't Bella Swan darling...

The current trend is to be fair while stay fresh, and Pond's has specific term for that: Jernih Putih Merona or Translucent Pinkish White. Why? Because with a hint of pink, our face become fresher, and look healthy and nice to see by others as well. Rather than being pale, I want to look fair and healthy as well!

Just like Yoon Eun Hye does *^_^*

See? It's different. Most of Korean women has fair, pinkish complexion which makes them look fair and fresh at the same time. That's what me, and other women in Indonesia want!

Besides, we all want to have such a great skin which is fair, fresh, and glowing even without makeup with flushed cheek without any blush on nor makeup! With New Pond's White Beauty, of course you can achieve Jernih Putih Merona aka Translucent Pinkish White face!

Nah, in order to learn more about this latest innovation from Pond's Institute, Dr. David Birtwistle as R& D Regional Director, Skin Care & Cleansing Unilever for Southeast Asia and Australasia explained that Pond's Institure has done so many researchs in order to find the right formulation to effectively fulfill every woman's need to be fair and beautiful.

Pond's Institue has become the pioneer in using Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) as one of active ingredients in skin lightening products  in 1975. Wow! 

So, why Korean ginseng and saffron?

Korean ginseng is formulated exclusively to help purifying the skin so that it looks glowing and transform into a translucent pinkish white skin. While saffron flower extract helps to clear up any dark skin and spots from the face. These two good natural essence are combined with the most sophisticated technology from Pond's Institute will help us to get fairer, translucent pinkish white skin.

Day Cream

Night Cream

Done?

Nope. It's not only improve, but also protect babes!

It has triple sun protection agents which helps to protect face from the dangerous UV light.

I also tried and tested both day and night cream at that event. Want to see? Just scroll down babes!

texture

So the texture for both products is different. For day cream, it has matte finish and it absorbs real quick! Of course this matte finish will be loved so much by most of Indonesians as I believe most of us have oily skin (or, at least normal to oily skin). You can wear this day cream without being afraid of the excess oil after a few hours. Don't forget it also has sun protection, praktis!

As for night cream, it has creamy, rich consistency and it needs some time to absorb. I don't mind with this since it's a night cream, it stays overnight to help repair and improve our skin. So, don't be afraid!

Moreover, both day and night cream are suitable for any skin types. Which means, dry, combination, and oily skin can use these products!

There was also an interesting demonstration done by mr. Birtwistle, of how Pond's active ingredients can get rid of oil in a small kind of vase, and make the blurred words become crystal clear!

10 Things You Need To Survive School

I remember my adolescent years back then. When life was so much fun, but most of the time I was nervous.

Well, you know, when the acne comes, my self esteem drops to the lowest point. High school was when you experienced your first crush right? How does it feel to appear in front of your loved ones with pimples on your face?

OH GAWT, I JUST WANT TO BE DISAPPEAR.

Well, if only I have this magic blue pouch from POND'S at that time... I wouldn't be that miserable. :p

POND'S gave me a magic pouch from Maudy with 10 things that I need to survive in school inside, wanna take a peek?

tadaaaa~!

The first thing that you need, well, of course, A NOTE! Along with stationery like pen and pencil ^_^

With these things, you can jot down important things, subjects, lessons, even have a secret chat with your classmates! Yay, nice!

The next thing is a fan! Haha, girls hate sweating, we brought fan everywhere to make sure we won't sweat! Sweat+germs= acne. And it's a big no no! Never thought that this thing will be so beneficial!

POND'S 101 High School: Launching of Pond's Acne Complete Solution

On last Monday, August 20th 2013, POND'S launched its latest product line which is POND'S Acne Complete Solution in Kota Kasablanka.

The format of the gathering itself is very unique, it's like entering a classroom where we're taught about acne and skin care by a very good-looking teacher (aka doctor); dr. Eddy Karta SpKK. Before we enter the classroom, there is also other decoration that makes us feel like we're back to our high school.

Another Visit to Pond's Institute

Hello everyone! I'm back with another post about my visit to Pond's Institute. For those of you who haven't read or forget about my first time experience in Pond's Institute, you can view it here.

So, I got a voucher for free trial worth until Rp 240.000,00 (around $24) in Pond's Institute. Hehe, I got this almost three months ago, but finally I could manage the time to visit it again with two of my friends (since the voucher is valid for multiple persons).

I called for reservation a day before and went there on last Wednesday with my friends. So, after arriving there, I check for the reservation and we went for the pre-treatment skin check first. Whoaa, we meet again, dear skin check device! LOL.

So, according to the skin check, overall my skin condition is still good with my hydration is still in normal range, elasticity is also good, wrinkle and spots is also still in normal range. But, I have to watch out for my large pores (yes I know it T____T) and my skin evenness. Ooops, I forget that I never do facial again after the GRAZIA Day with POND's and neither do I scrub my face ever since. T___T So the beauty adviser said that the dead cells piled up and making face looks so dull.

GRAZIA Day with POND'S

Guess that lately I am so lucky that I won a few prizes including quiz and competition. Haha. That's the joy of twitter, anyway. So this time I was so lucky to attend GRAZIA Day with POND'S on 14th of July, 2012. It was held at The Pond's Institute, which luckily located near my residence.

The event started with the skin check pre-treatment. My friend; Reni was so lucky to be checked on The Pond's Institute's newly-arrived machine which including more comprehensive check on our skin. It can even detect where are the sensitive parts of our face in detailed result. Me, was being checked on different machine, but it's still OK anyway. :p

So, first you'll be photographed and then the checker will place the device to check your skin. From what I've heard, here are the brief result of my skin condition:

• My skin is combination type where the T-zone is oily and U-zone is dry. Unfortunately, my U-zone is almost dehydrated. I don't know why since I don't spend most of my time in air-conditioned places and I always apply moisturizer day and night. She said that I should wear more moisturizer.
• My skin elasticity is still very good, that's the good of being young haha. She said that though I have visible smile-lines, I don't have to worry much about that since there are few people who was born that way (it's not wrinkle).
• The dark spots are not found yet on my skin's surface, but when she checked the deeper layer of my skin (which is underneath the outer layer of my skin), there are so many dark spots potential. She advised me to always wear sunscreen in order to prevent the dark spots to show up earlier.

Overall, she said that my skin condition is still fine. I just have to stick to my daily beauty routine of always applying moisturizer and sunscreen. Yay, so happy!

skin check

After the skin check, we were escorted to enjoy the brunch. Yum, the food was so delicious.

delicacies

After enjoying enough brunch, the MCs invited us to sit down and join the main event, which was the talk show by dr. Eddy Karta, SpKK. He talked about skin aging, he was so funny and communicative, lots of joke during the session.

the funny doctor

After that, there was two more talks by Unilever's representatives and Grazia's fashion director; Monik. And, there was doorprize announcement and some mini games. I bet that most of you must be familiar with Grazia's signature games; Fashion Sudoku. So, me and my friend joined the Fashion Sudoku, but we didn't win. Still, Grazia was generous enough since they gave us a gift, too. Then we went straight upstairs to enjoy free facial treatment by Pond's.

We chose the facial room for two. Haha! Perfect for friends like me and Reni. The interior is nice and clean though. The therapist said that my treatment will be done with Flawless White series which is designed for young woman under 30. The other two; Age Miracle and Gold Radiance are supposed for the older women who are more than 30 and for those who concern about early signs of skin aging.

the interior and devices

So, the therapist said to me that we could only enjoy the regular facial treatment, not the fully one since the time was not enough. It was my first time for facial, anyway. I was so excited! The treatment began with the cleansing, then followed by scrubbing, application of mask, serum, and moisturizer. I felt like I was born again! Hahaha. Unfortunately, my friend did not feel the same. She has extra-sensitive skin that when the therapist was applying the mask, she felt like her face was burnt. Oh, poor you, my dear friend. She has talked to me that her skin was irritated when she tried using Pond's before.

my face after facial

I gotta say that I feel my skin was so soft and glowing after the treatment. I love the mask, but forgot to ask the therapist about that since as far as I know, Pond's does not have any mask product. The eye serum, which I believe to be the Flawless White Series, was also feel so good on my under eye area. Overall, I love this treatment by Pond's.

So that's the end of it! Actually this facial treatment was only available for the first 20 people who re-registered, the other 10 can come back and make a reservation for free treatment, but not that day. There was also a nail art service but I was in hurry so I did not try that. Hehe.

a guy was served for a really cute nail art

random pictures

Of course, there is a goodie bag from that event and some freebies (from joining Fashion Sudoku and being the earliest attendees!). Here it is!

it consists of:
A set of Pond's Gold Radiance Series (Day Cream and Night Repair)
A Facial Treatment Voucher for two worth until Rp 240.000,00
A Gold Pouch along with Pond's Gold Radiance Eye Cream
Paul & Joe Creamy Compact Foundation (will be reviewed soon)

I guess that's the end of it. Hope that I can join another exciting event like this. And I also love the Foundation, hihi.
