Crynx Instant Lifting Spray

OK. This is quite an impulse purchase. I've been having days when my jowls will just decide to submit to the test of time and gravity. I've been to two aesthetic clinics for consultation; eventually signed up for one in the near future's treatment.

There are times when my face looks a-ok. Don't mind the the laughing lines around my eyes, have them since in my early 20s. Didn't worsen thus far. I am 42 year old this year. Laziest person when it comes to skincare routine. Haa! Routine. If plastic surgery, or any surgery of any form, is not that scary and risky, I would have just gone for it. That, over daily/nightly skincare routine.

So, between my first and second anesthetic clinics, I chanced upon this product. Given the flash sale AND a super discount voucher in hand, I've decided to just order this.


Proper tamper sticker still intact




Pretty straightforward and simple instruction. Clean face, close eyes, spray. Wait for it to dry, about a minute, before you apply other stuff on your face which one would usually applies.

It is odourless. Sticky. It feels like I've just gotten some hair spray coated my face. It doesn't feels tighten nor stingy. Acceptable.

I've tried applying it only during the day. But, I've been having my good days without using this. Weird, I know. When I'm unwell and tired, my jowls will droop. Other times, my face is still able to resist those gravity pull!


So, came the day when I woke up from a febrile rest. Time to test this spray! After my morning shower, I sprayed a layer of Crynx, waited a bit, apply my skincare.

Hmm... it DID lift a bit. Fine lines are almost gone near my eyes. Jowls seem to adhere themselves, slightly, back to my jawline. By the way, during my regular skincare, which usually is just one serum oil and I'm done, I did a bit of massage.

Maybe that helps. I'll probably try this spray, follow by a more proper skincare routine, day and night for the next one week to see. Maybe not. Nothing beats going for clinical treatment and/or surgery, and/or good genes and health to achieve the task, realistically speaking.

Does this spray works as advertised?

Most of the paid advertisement you can find online about this has done a live test on younger skins. I did find one which they have tested on a lady in her 60s. I didn't see the difference in the video. Also, I noticed, throughout the tests shown, they sprayed on half the face of the tester. The halve, which they have sprayed, are the good side. The side which already looks tighter that the other halve. Not many people have symmetrical face - Facial Attractiveness: Evolutionary Based Research and Facial Symmetry.

I'll just going to finish using this bottle, if my doctor permits during my post-treatment downtime and follow-ups, and that's it. Since it doesn't cause any negative reaction on my face thus far. Perhaps, I should pass it to my mom, who is in her late 60s, to see if it really works to her liking.

It's here!

Hubby used to applies Laneige water sleep mask before we started dating. His skin was really supple, white and smooth then! Then again, he used to be younger and working in the cold (kitchen) section has helped keeping his pore tight & clean.

Face Roller (box)

At 41 this year, I'm starting to see sagging at my jawline. I'm at my laziest when it comes to beauty care routine. I'll only apply moisturiser when my skin starts cracking/peeling. Lack of sleep, not a fan of water drinking and now, a caffeine addict. I think it's time to do something about it and adhere it into my daily/nightly routine.

If this doesn't helps much or I gave up this routine, I will just go straight for a more permanent (surgery/facelift) fix.



The face roller comes with illustrated instruction. But you're better off referring it to their Youtube video instruction instead. I've purchased mine from [Lazada]



It's smaller than shown!

The roller is kinda small/short compared to what I (thought) saw in their advertisement. Seems solid and well-built. But after a 3 usages, it started to make some noises when using. Am I not supposed to wash it after each use?! I did wipe dry after washing.

Time-Freeze Sleep Mask 10ml x 6

I've found a deal for the mask in [Lazada] too for this. Gotten this set for RM79 including shipping. Whilst the actual size jar is RM115 for 60ml. Mind you, these two items will be shipped from Korea via Lazada's site. Will takes quite a while to arrive.

Finally gotten my lunch. Don't like the back (nape area). Will ask +Kenneth Loke to makes it more tapered with our own hair buzzer. Teehee.

I am SO SLEEPY now! One of the very rare time I actually had the patient and didn't kill the stylist.

Long, Arduous Hours of Haircut

At first, I thought it was just my PMS. The sleepiness, the heavy head and the lack of appetite. When I'm on aspirin for the headache, it numbs the pain a little but still left me very disoriented.


Having headache for 3 days straight, now, that cannot be my usual PMS. Noticing a slight increased of temperature, I am down with a cold. Not flu. Phew. So, it is Vitamin C round the clock, plenty of fresh water and rests. I am going to nurse this one out properly for GTDs this coming Monday.


While I was at the pharmacy for my Vitamin C and the ointment, I thought I might as well replenish my finishing body shower gel and body lotion.


This is on sales now. Going to give it a try. So much more cheaper than Sweden ♪(´ε` )


Tested the in-shower rinse-off body lotion. It is much better than using the classic body lotion in this high humidity weather. Leaving my skin moisten without the stickiness I loathe when I am in a tropical country. Even after being in a rather warm room for hours.

Only downside was the shower floor tiles need to be scrubbed after rinsing the lotion off the body. Icky.

After being stood up TWICE in a month by my hairdresser of decades patronage I gave up! Salon closed on SUNDAY! Last straw! I don't give non-close ones more than 2 chances anyway.



Adamant to have my haircut, we took a walk round the corner and ended with one. Lucky! Good communication and decent skills. Price is fitting, too! WONDERFUL.

This is the first time Jojo has her hair cuts this short. Panic attack, almost. Teehee. As for me, lost count. I don't go into a salon and out with the same hairstyle/cut anyway. Each time my hair (length) reaches pass my armpits, it won't take me another 1-2 months to chop it off. Chop, not trim. I don't believe in making the effort to the salon for just a trim or maintain. I enjoy getting different style/cut while my hair grows out each time.



So, in 3-4 weeks, I will go for a perm for my top while keeping my shaved sides and back. Then another 11-13 weeks, I can go for Karen Gillan's current pixie and colour!

I was testing nail lacquer colours at the stall. Being such an OCD, I ended up making a decent set of manicure. Since it was a test, I've only applied one coat for each colour. Dried fast, continued shopping and when home, I just added some nail jewels and top coat. Done! This week's manicure, albeit a little messy and I doubt it will last (thin coat).

Manicure This Week: Test Turns Complete Set

Monday, July 01, 2013

It is not new. Bought it a few months earlier yet used. I should have gone out with this hairband and a high (messy) chignon instead of rocking a rockabilly pompadour front with double ponytails. Didn't take a photo of my earlier hairdo's as I was out early for a full morning errands.

Spring Nail Colours
Lacquers & tools used

Last week, I've shown here my new collection. Today, I'm going to refresh my nails with ALL the colours I've gotten! Kidding. Almost all only.

P/S: Forgotten to include, in the photo, one of the colour I've used for my base colour - shimmering clear from my Gradient Glitter Set.

Neon Pink and Yellow Toenails
Neon Pink and Yellow + Angry Bird nail stickers!
Spring 2013 Nail Colours
Looks good holding my Hello Kitty portable speaker! ~nyaa!

Easy to do without the need for cellophane tapes. I'm pretty happy that this range of lacquers I've gotten actually dry pretty fast compared to my older collection (of mostly reds) from Maybelline!

By the way, look at what I saw when I drawn my bedroom window this morning...

Golden Teapot Cloud
Love waking up to such nature's surprise. Good life.

Isn't it gorgeous! Golden Teapot! Teehee. Upon closer inspection, I noticed the top part of this cloud formation has a very different texture compared to the rest of its body. Teapot lid! Hur, hur, hur. The morning weather was really good. Almost 0700hrs and still cooling. Good for a morning run in the 'hood!

 

Spring Nail Colours in Use

Tuesday, April 16, 2013

Finally in the mood, with time, to update my nail lacquers collection. Yes, I've been rather nail-vain lately. I don't do these often. Once every two years thus far.

Binned the old (spoilt or finished) ones in room for these....

Gradient Glitter Nail Polish from Qoo10
My order from Qoo10 is here!

Pleasantly surprised to have this order delivered sooner than usual. Tested and as expected. Good!

Sizes are a little small but that's ok. Not as if I will be using these every week. Loves the original brushes in these polishes.

Juicy Gradient Glitter Nail Set
MYR13 for this set from Qoo10

Spring is just at the corner, seeping through. So, here are my Spring 2013 colours, NEON is back this year!

Spring 2013 Neon Colour Nail Lacquers
All NEON! Yellow, Orange and Pink!

I humbly believe, I can safely cycle in the twilight hours if I paint my bicycle with these polishes! Haa! I didn't expect the colours to be THAT electrifying!

Next, MY basic colours - white, black and metallic silver! These three colours are essentials for me when I've mountains of nail art stickers and stones!

OPI and CR basic colours
Basic and essentials!

Also, this gold glitter which I often used for lining or gradient purposes!

Gold Glitter Nail Lacquer
Gold Glitter in Gold Base Colour Lacquer

Unlike most, this gold glitter nail lacquer comes in a light gold colour base. Good for lining and dotting on nail art.

Sally Hansen Diamond Flash Top Coat
60 seconds is all it needs to dry and seal my nail colours well!

This is the first time I tried Sally Hansen's quick dry top coat. I was out searching for a quick dry top coat, my usual Revlon, but found only this. Gave it a shot and love it since. It really seals my nail colours for days. Make that 2 weeks! About the amount of time I usually change my nail colours when I'm lazy.

While shopping for my top coat, I found this cream pastel blue which will goes well with my metallic dark blue in the old collection!

Cream Paste Blue
Pastel Baby Blue Nail Lacquer

Finally, this week, I'm in the mood for some old skool techno feels.

V Shape Nail Art
V Shape Nail Art

I'm really into V-shape nail art lately. So easy to do. Since I didn't use cellophane tapes for this work, it is even quicker for me to complete!

After completing the above combo, I feel so Star Trek now!

All About Nails This Week

Sunday, March 24, 2013

I am so happy to have this budget shop opens nearby! Found so many DealExtreme things here for lower price, 3 days exchange policy and NO 1 month delivery waiting time!


Another great bit about this store is the frequency of new stocks coming in! It is really amazing! I went twice in a week, 4 days gap, and found new stocks! Darn, it's addictive! Curb, curb, silly me!


When my sis came home with this pet brush from Mr DIY, tested and approved by my furry angels, I went out the following day to go grab it! Selling at USD2.70 here compared to USD7.xx from DealExtreme!

Of course, while there, I found these goodies I cannot resist!

Saw the SAME one selling in Daiso for SGD2.00! Here in Mr DIY for MYR2.80. WIN!
My favourite anime, Chii! Blinking audio jack plug for my devices.

And I still cannot believe I've gotten a Babyliss flat iron for hair at MYR18.xx! I flipped and grabbed!

If you want to know how to use this for curling hair, check out this wonderful video tutorial by Katersbeauty

She's absolutely delightful to watch and listen! I cannot stress further on how many Vloggers out there that made me FF on their videos when they speak. Not Kate, though. She speaks well, cute and edit out the boring bits perfectly! Yes. Even her frequent Vlogs which lasted way passed 10 minutes! I sat through. With ease and interest, of course.

Hauled from Mr DIY

Tuesday, February 26, 2013


This week - having a bag of gold flakes around for a while - I've decided to try this on my nails.

Needs frequent touch-up after shower as some of the flakes were snarled out. Especially those bits with sharp edges too stubborn to stays flat on the nail surface.

Updates

After my 3rd minor touch-up, it stays! I guess I've finally gotten all the stubborn loose (sharp) edges out & gotten the flatten ones during touch-ups.

The highlight of CNY shopping had to be the colours from all these flora bits! We've spent the whole day out and to GTD. In time to stopped at the florist to select just before the night falls.


Kumquat! The priority purchase
My endless fascination with pineapple plant. Don't ask. It's magical.
After selection and orders, we head over for dim sum dinner at D'Shanghai. Just a few steps away!

Dim Sum Dinner

I fell in ♥ with its Liu Sha Pao!  Salted egg yolk and melted butter in its piping hot bun!
After a good dinner, it is time to shop for more CNY related goods. A few steps into the mall nearby - Sutera Mall.
Choices, choices!
Super Nyaan-nyaan welcoming shoppers at Sutera Mall!

Few days later, we have everything up and readied...





Furkids, too, are fresh and bathed ♥

KB: Mmm... I smell nice ♥
Tatiana: I'm cleaned and fluffed! Come cuddle me!
Camouflage again. Teehee★
Found you! Sniff-sniff. Mmm... floral fresh shampoo!

Happy Nails Year!

First attempt at gradient sponging. Final result, it is so Taiwan (flag), right? Teehee 
Trying out the full nail art sticker for the first time. Real deal at Mr DIY (MYR2.90/set) 
Bought another set from the same shop. Same price!
