Dr. Eric Slimming Hot Cream (Cellulite Reduction)

To be honest, I was once fat or I could say my fats weren't distributed so well with the right portion leaving my body so unbalanced, really shy to admit it, but yes, now I'm skinny enough (slim, I would say) and today I want to review one of products I've used during my process. This one is from Dr. Eric Slimming Hot Cream, the online shop who sold this for me extremely promoted that this is one of the best hot creams ever and also affordable for young people like me (can I say I was so young at that time). That was also my first time using slimming product instead work out. Yes, I was so lazy I would prefer using cream rather than took my time to jog every morning.

Here's the Active Ingredients (as stated) :

Natural Massage Oil (Sweet Almond Oil, Indian Pink Seed Oil, Sunflower Seed Oil), Hot Ginger Oil, Hot Pepper Oil, Vitamin E

Promotional words & Directions

It says how to use:

Just massage the affected area in an upward and circular motion for about 3 - 5 minuted until the cream has penetrated the skin completely. You will feel a difference in only a few day.

Original 100% mark

The original product is believed to have this hologram sign and I hope I was having the original one(but my online shop ensured me it was really one!).

Now, the cream itself.

It has sweet pink color, very light similar to our daily lotion not too thick, you see I've used it for several days so it's half empty.

It has strong fragrance, I suppose it was from the ginger and the pepper ingredients. It's reccommended to use it twice a day after bathing, so I did it properly, right after I take a bath I used it just what it said. I applied it on my tummy and around thigh (*shy*). It's cold at first but on your next 2 minutes, please bear with the hot sensation for about 4 or 5 minutes, lol! I was once felt so uncomfortable but got used with it after several days.

Result?

I don't feel any satisfaction in the end, no matter what just don't leave the 'exercise' part, you just couldn't get easily slim just with cream. Well, it tighten my skin, I was quiet impressed but it didn't give any significant and permanent result overall.

And moreover, it won't work for stretchmark! I have some and I was hoping this could get rid of it, but it failed. So.. yes:

Rating is 2/5

Dodora Lip and Nipple Pigment Lightening Essence

Hello everyone, today I would like to give my (final) review for Dodora Lip and Nipple Essence - just like the title, which I bought last year from my very first online store and have been using it until its last drop. Come to think of it, this product is the first product I bought through online (yes, I was kinda late with online shopping, please excuse me). I did so many researches to find trusted sellers at that time and spent 2 days before finally made my decision which store I would buy this product from.

Why I bought this product? Because I was attracted with its commercial telling me that it would redden our lips permanently, and I was crazily searching for this kind of essence at that time - and I fell for it immediately, I thought, 'wow I find a fast and quick method to redden my lips without I have to use honey mask every night'.

At that time the price was around Rp. 75,000.00 ~ US$ 7.5. And this is the advertorial words :

DoDoRa Pink Lips Nipples Pigment Lightening Moisturized Youthful Essence Cream Content:

15ml Quality Guaranteed
100% Made in Taiwan
Multi-purpose lightening essence by DoDoRa
Able to lighten and brighten dark & dull areas like the nipples,
groin and lips with prolonged usage
Prevent dryness and chapped lips

How To Use:
Just need to apply the cream on the areas that you want to lighten and brighten up till it is fully absorbed Can be used daily after shower

Now let's see the packaging:

The pink hexagonal box is just really cute with picture of a girl posing like Marilyn Monroe, that's why I really couldn't just throw it away... I really want to keep it. Ha!

The right side is displaying the ingredients:

F21 28.1%
Arbutin 0.2%
Elestin 1.6%
Collagen 1.5%
Hyaluronic Acid 1.2%
D. Water 89.91%
Fruit Acids 1.8%
Cetyl Isooctanoate 0.7%
Squalane 0.3%
Peach Extract 0.4%
Propylparaben 0.16%
Methylparaben 0.13%

And why the ingredients looks so unnatural ???? Well, I'm not a chemist expert, maybe next time I will try to learn each ingredients so I would know the side effects, if it's needed and considered may give significant impacts.

Other than that, we also have a guide sheet.. in Chinese. Sorry guys, I couldn't read it so I really don't know what it says..

Now it's the lip tube itself, the front cover is the first picture of this post so I assume you've already seen it, the overall packaging is just like the other lipbalm packaging, and the wrap cover is just similar with the box image. While the back side is describing the cautions and the storage.

Now let's get inside and I will tell you about how the real Dodora lip looks. Please see the picture below:

How I use this product? I simply pressed the tube a little until a small amount of cream appeared and used my finger to take it. It's white and creamy as you can see on the picture, once applied to my skin, it will show red pigment after some seconds, just wait and see. Once I rub it to my finger, my index finger turned to be slight red (I hope you don't need to wrinkle your forehead a lot to see the difference between my bare skin and the other part of my index which was applied with Dodora).

So yes, it's reddening your lips & skin.

So here you could see my before-after lips (sorry, recently I'm fighting my chapped lips, LOL). I've been using this lip for almost a year, and I don't think I've gotten a significant change on my lips color. I can say that it's not permanently change your lip scolor, but yes, it's lightening and reddening your lips ONLY when you apply it to your lips regularly. Once you remove your make up, poof, all is gone.

Also there is limit for how red your lips could achieve using this product. You couldn't expect to have an extreme red lips color for a sudden using this product because it will depend on your skin tone and your original natural lips color I assume.

So to summarize all my words:
(+) Yes it gives red natural lips color
(+) Can last until 3 hours or so, unless you eat a lot, drink a lot which will make the essence easily disappears, so you have to put more efforts to apply it again and again.
(+) I don't smell any scent, so I won't tell you about this + it's tasteless.

(50:50) It's good for daily use for some people including me, since my cousin said it's too red for her so she didn't like it.

(-) Nope, it's not permanently reddening your lips - nb : or at least after 1 year using, I don't find a significant improvements.
(-) Be careful when you drink, because it may leave a mark on your glass..... (>_<)

nb: This product also claims can lighten nipple, psst.. I've ever tried it (lol, super blush) and yes, it lightens 'them'. But, why should I do this??? I don't have any ero attention on doing this so I skip it. Well, I just tried it because of my curiosity. Perhaps, you are excited to try for other purpose, I'm telling you, yes it works for lightening and reddening nipples also - hope this review helps you.

Will I purchase it? Umm.. Maybe no. It's enough for me and I'll look for another products.

Rate : 2.5 out of 5.
Thank you for accompanying me for a year Dodora!

Thanks for reading, and see you!

Happy Saturday, everyone! My favorite online shop kindly sent me a bonus while sending my orders. She sent me Tonymoly Expert Triple BB Cream, sachet one, but I'm so happy. I haven't tried many BB creams yet compared to other beauties here, so I really eager to try each of them until I could find my own holy grail.

The sachet's design (sample product) is simple with rounded rectangle shape (and I've cut one edge anyway..). My assumption, one sachet can be used until 3 times, in my case.

I've browsed for some more information, since this BB Cream is new for me, this is what I got from the official advertisement:

Tony Moly Expert triple BB cream SPF45 PA+++ is a Tri-functional BB Cream, providing Whitening, Wrinkle Care and Protection against UV rays.

Red Ginseng extract helps regenerate the fibroblast and aggrandize the skin's immunizing functions.

Organic Lavender Extract boosts to restore the damaged skin and β-Glucan substance protects the Langerhans Cell in skin, which gets easily deteriorated by UV rays.

50ml

Source : BBCream Boutique

Wow, so they say, it has SPF 45! Can treat your wrinkle, has some whitening agent, this is really so interesting, can't wait to try. I don't know if it has more color shades, since I didn't get enough information from things written on the pack, but this one seems a bit lighter than my skin tone (See picture).

My skin is #23, it's getting darker due I'm working outdoor almost everyday recently. The texture is not too creamy, bit also not too thick I could say. It gives me dewy effect, and yes, it lightens my skin. I give more concern to the fact that it dries easily (and quick).

When I apply it on my face, I have to ensure myself using the moisturizer first before applying the BB Cream, since my skin is also a bit dry due to the climate. I've used this BB Cream with and without moisturizer. And the best result for my dry skin, is, please using moisturizer first for better result.

The results I like from this BB Cream:
1) It lightens my skin
2) Hide my large pores and blemishes
3) Also lightens red skin on some areas.
4) Give dewy and fresh effect, love this so much!
5) Oil control is really good, can last almost 8 hours, I don't need to blot too often.

Note : Anyway, I'm sure it can hide all blemishes and large pores if I use more creams on my face. Also, I still haven't used any powder for my finishing look (more matte), means the result can be much, much better with more additional stuffs and tricks.

The minus?
Maybe the shade doesn't match my skin tone, but over all I see the result on my appearance.

I will try to buy the big size once I've spent my recent BB Cream, I swear! Anyway, I can't judge if the 'anti-wrinkle' effect works good since I've just used this for only 3 times, so I still couldn't provide the long term results. I've used this for both day and night occasions and it gave me a big satisfaction.
What a great BB Cream and I will add this on my list.

Overall, I love this BB Cream! I may purchase this on the future.

Thank you for reading :)
