Sunplay SPF 47 Powdery White Review
This product claims :
- High & effective protection against UVA & UVB
- Japan whitening formulation, regular use helps lighten dark spots and enhances skin fairness
- Non greasy, light & smooth on skin
- Vitamin C & E to promote smooth & healthy skin and prevent premature aging
- Water-proof
- Non-comedogenic (does not clog pores)
Directions for use :
- Shake well before use
- Apply evenly on face and body before sun exposure
Price : Maybe RM 15-20?
What Melissa likes about this product :
- As it claims to be, it's non greasy. It's good for oily skin. I've tried other brand's sunblock, they're kinda greasy and after 1-2 hours, my face kinda starts to become even more oily.
- Light and smooth. It's like you didn't apply it. And it makes your skin kinda smooth to touch.
- Can use as a make up base. I love to use it before I put on any makeup. And it dries up fast, so foundation powder won't get stucked/clumped.
- Reduce redness on my skin after sun exposure. If I didn't apply any sunblock on my skin, I tend to get redness on my skin. After I use this product, my problem is completely solve.
- Economy. Only small amount is needed for my face and hands.
- Mildly scented. Kinda smells like baby powder.
- Quite lasting. I only reapply it after 6 hours.
- Small sized bottle. Easy to carry it around.
What Melissa dislikes about this product : Nothing

Escada Into the Blue EDP Review
Ingredients:
- crumpled green leaves, fresh herbs, tagette, star fruit, peony, aquatic floral notes, water fruits, white cedar wood, musky cocktail, amber notes, wet woods
Form: Eau De Parfum (EDP)
Price: Rs. 2000++ for 30ml
Melissa's experience:
I bought it 3 years ago. And there's still a tiny bit left. It has a very fresh, summery and aqua-floral scent. And it's not too strong scent. Not too feminine, a bit "manly" / sporty kinda scent...But the only problem is the scent can't last for too long.Rating: 3 out of 5
Will Melissa repurchase this product: Hmm, I don't think so. Because it has little to no staying power...But I would like to try other perfume from Escada...

L'oreal Paris Smooth Intense Instant Smoothing Serum Review
This product claims:
- The texture and shine of your hair is instantly renewed.
- Immediately your hair feels smooth, silky and manageable
Directions for use:
- Apply onto washed and dried or dry hair
- Pour several drops of serum onto your palm (for longer hair, more serum may be required)
- Rub hands together and distribute evenly along the length
Price: Rs. 240
What Melissa likes about this product:
- It makes my hair very smooth and silky instantly as the product claims to be.
- Helps me detangle my hair when I'm having a bad hair day.
- I only use it when I'm lazy to use hair conditioner. And it does a better work than hair conditioner.
- It's affordable. I've tried L'oreal Professionnel Paris Liss Ultime serum, it's awesome, but it's kinda pricey.
- It's not making my hair look oily or shiny. My hair is already oily enough, I won't be needing a product which will make me look like I haven't been washing my hair for days.
- Pleasant but not too strong scent.
- It doesn't make my hair sticky at all.
What Melissa dislikes about this product:
- Sometime when I flip open the cap and pour the serum onto my palm, I tend to spill some on the floor. I wish it has a pump instead of a flip cap.

Will Melissa repurchase this product: Definitely

Price: Rs. 199
What Melissa likes about this product:
What Melissa likes about this product:
- It softens and detangles my hair.
- Only need to use it twice a week.
- Strong fragrant - makes my hair smells nice entire day.
- Easy to scoop out from the tub. And squeezing is required (That's why I kinda hate to use hair conditioner)
- Economy. It's cheaper as compared to other brands' hair mask in the market.
What Melissa dislikes about this product:
- As the "directions for use" said "apply liberally", I've to use large amount for each use. So the one tub only can last me for one month-ish.
- Need to wait more than 3 minutes to get the soft and silky effects. I normally apply it on my hair and do something else first, about 5-10 minutes later, I'll rinse it off.
- Makes me feel like my hair is unclean, sticky, so need to rinse my hair many times.
Melissa's rating: 4 out of 5
Will Melissa repurchase this product: Sure. I'm a big fan of Pantene products.
