Products from Sasa, Hong Kong

‘Sa Sa’ is not an unfamiliar beauty shop to almost everyone of us, right? :) Well, the country of origin of SASA was Hong Kong, isn't it? 
 

Sa Sa International Holdings Limited ("Sa Sa" or "the Group") is a leading cosmetics retailing group in Asia.

One of my cousin sisters was worked as Sa Sa, One Utama(1U), Malaysia. As far as I know, SASA, Malaysia doesn't sale the products as much as SASA, HK. Also, the price of SASA, Malaysia wasn't as cheap as SASA, HK. 

Seriouly, I am envy HK residents who can purchase the SASA products anytime. But, luckily there's got express delivery in this world. lol.

One day, I checked the SASA net out and found that there's a lot of cheap and fine products. 

*wink*

Yea....I ended up ordered some products from SASA, HK. =) My kindly cousin bro to help me made the payment(I gave him back the money when I met him). Thank him a lot. ^^

Well, I've received the parcel after a month. ^^

SASA got me a piece of free mask(blue), a hand lotion(pink), and a sample of a moisturizer(purple).

My collection from SASA, Hong Kong.

Now, let's go to the introduction of the products. ^^And I'll let you know about my experience.

Someone email and share something to me after she read my blog. :) She is the first people who sent me email after read my blog. Honestly, I was overjoyed! Praise the Lord. =) I hope she will reply my email soon. =) By the way, she told me that toner is important for us because of our pores will get bigger after we cleanse the face so she said that we need to use toner to minimize our pores so that the dirt will not go into it. hmm...as I knew, toner couldn't minimize our pores for long term but just temporary. Ya, I read this from a magazine. And I am agree with that. Toner couldn't help for minimize the opened pores. 
Don't trust the advertisement, dear ladies!


Well, this toner already with me for seven months. hmm..it was not a pricey toner, I love it! Also, it doesn't brings any side effect for me. (normally, toner won't brings any side effect for us if compare with other products, isnt it?)

Country of origin
France

Actually, I only used it once or twice after bought it. The main reason that I seldom used it was I scared the 'whitening' word on the jar. Most of the beautician do not recommended to people who have acne or sensitive skin like me to use whitening products. 

You know what? Last time, my skin became such yucky was because of one of the whitening products. T.T   So, I am fear of whitening products after that.

Since most of my acne already gone, I might try this product soon :)
hmm...so, I am not going to give any star for this product since I haven't officially to try it.

By the way, I love its jar a lot as it is super mini :)

My verdict:

Cellnique

First of all, let me tell you the origin that I knew this brand-Cellnique.

hmm...I knew it through my cousin sis who is using many products as well. I think it was 2 years ago.

She knew this brand via internet, I guess. I was form 4 and having a lot of acne that time. It was horrendously! 

Okay, she recommended me to buy Skin Action Sebum Gel which is for reduces blackheads and whiteheads, Soothing & Hydrading Lotion which is soothing our skin, Vital Cellular Cleansing Milk which is for remove make-up and pollutants, and Gentle Foaming Cleanser which is a cleanser for remove dead cells, impurities and excess oil. 

hmm...She was asking me to buy all these all the time. Also, she told me that there's a lot of people were cured by these products. I ended up bought four of these products! It was my first time to buy Cellnique's products. And I bought it at once but didn't tried any sample before I bought them. 

Yes! I'm admit that I am a gullible person. Especially in this beauty stuff.

What to do?! 

*sigh*



Okay, here is the photo of some of my Cellnique's collection. I already thrown some of them away =p hmm, some of them still at my hometown.

Okay, let's going to the introduction of all the Cellnique's products I've ever used. =)

Treating Skin Problems

• Remove Facial Make-Up and Pollutant

Suitable skin type:

All Skin Types

This is how the Vital Cellular Cleansing Milk look like.

This is Vital Cellular Cleansing Milk. Its functions are remove make-up and pollutants. Yes, it actually helped to remove pollutants. If talking about remove make-up? hmm...I don't think it is very works. 

By the way, it would leave skin silky and moist after cleansing. =) 

It lasts me for 6 or 7 months although it was 200ml.

I think the only thing that deters me from re-purchasing this product is its price. 

 

Price: RM 119.00


My Verdict：

Gentle Foaming Cleanser

200ml

*Alpha hydroxyl n tomato extract cleanser .

*Remove dead cells,impurities,n excess oil.

*Suitable for normal, oily,combination skin.

My cousin sis helped me to order this cleanser via online about 2 years ago.

First of all, it is nice to use especially for those acne sufferers like me. Yes, I recommend those people who having acne or pimples to use it. 

It is actually quite worthy. At the price RM109.00 for a cleanser which could lasts me for more than a year is consider as OK for me whom still is a student. Let me calculate for you:

RM109.00(maximum) ----> for 15 months 


RM109.00 devide by 15 = RM 7.266666
                                           = RM 7.27 per month

If there's 10% discount on it,

then,

RM109.00 - 10% = RM98.10

RM98.10 devide by 15 = RM 6.54  per month
 

Hey, RM7.27 or RM 6.54 is consider as reasonable, okay. Try to think, how much you bought the cleanser for cure your acne?? 20? 30? 50? 80? or 100?  Okay, it is not the point!! On the top of that, are they work for you?? Take your time to think.

For me, this cleanser is quite nice! It doesn't make any breakouts for me but helped to reduce the impurities. Plus, I found that it was really clean and clear after using it. By the way, I'm still using it now. =)

Trust me, it is worth buying if you having pimples or oiliness skin. hmm...the only thing that you have to be careful is don't use too much as it will make your skin becomes dryness.

Overall, I am quite satisfied with this cleanser ^^

I think it was the greatest cleanser I've ever used :)

This product was ordered by my cousin sis as well. She was asking me to buy it all the time.
I ended up nodded my head under curiosity. 

Well, it is actually a toner. Its name is Soothing & Hydrating Lotion. Sometimes people will called toner as lotion as well. I don't know why. Haha.


The first impression was given me on this product was its nickname, Ginger Water (姜水). The main reason is because of its main ingredient, ginger extract. Hey, you are scaring with ginger smell?? Chill! That smell is great! I love that smell even though I hate to eat ginger!

 This is how the Skin Action Sebum Gel look like

The first time I bought it was through my cousin sis. Well, the second time was bought in the beauty saloon if I am not mistaken. The third time was through my cousin sis, too. That time got promotion. Buy 2 sebum gel and free a Intensive Soothing & Hydrating Masque.. That's why I was tempted. *sigh* 


I already used 3 or 4 bottles of this product. *sigh*  super pricey, isn't it? For something so little but so pricey, I can say that Cellnique is a vampire! 

Why am I bought them although it was so pricey? Honestly, I'm a gullible person, don't you know? haiz..

Okay, let's talk about its benefits.

Reduces blackheads and whiteheads? Yes.
Reduces skin imflammatory? Yes, I think so.
Controls and prevents breakouts? Ya. :) Increases skin moistures and improves skin elasticity? Yes ^ ^ Anti-irritation? Yes.
Controls excessive sebum? Definitely yes!

If you want your face free from blackheads and whiteheads then you should use it continuously. I'm sure you will bankrupt sooner or later if you continuously to re-purchase it. No kidding. 

Hey, each bottle of this product only lasts me for 3 or 4 months as I applied them twice or more a day. Hey, it is only 30ml, okay.

I really do not suggest to those still are a student like me even though it was so great. If you are a fat cat, maybe you can grab it home after you read this. But for me, I might re-purchase it after 5 years. LOL. 


  
My Verdict：

Suitable skin type:

Oily

Price: RM169.00


I bought this product from the beauty saloon about 1 or 2 years ago. The beautician recommended me to buy it as I was having a lot of acne at that moment. I bought it at the price RM152.10. Honestly, only 10% they given me. *sigh* How come I was so gullible?? Can someone please slap my face to wake me up?
 
Skin Action Gel Plus is a proven formula to reduce comedones and inflamed acne lesions and to lighten acne marks. Honestly, it was helped me to minimize my acne but can't say that it could totally cure all the acne in my face. Some more it would makes our skin more dryness after using it.

I used to apply it during the night time with a mini drop of it. Normally, beautician would suggest us to apply Gel Plus once two or three days. Actually it is depends on our skin condition. Let say, if today a big pimples pop out on your face then you should apply it once a day until the pimples dry or gone. You can stop to use it after three or four days since the pimples already dry or gone. Then, you can apply it three times a week if u feel that your skin is getting nice.   


The beautician asked me to mix with the Skin Action Sebum Gel when using this Gel Plus or the face will being burn if we didn't mix the Gel Plus with any product. hmm...scary, right? So, be careful ya. 

By the way, it contains only 30ml but it is enough for me to use until now. I think it can last me for a long time since there's left 8 or 9 ml in the bottle. 
 
Lastly, I do not recommend this product to you all as its pricey. On the top of that, it couldn't totally heals all the acne on my face. hmm...Maybe I can say that it is only temporary to cure the acne. If you really want to grab it home then you just go ahead but don't blame anyone after you bought it as I already told you that it was not worth to purchase.  


My Verdict：

RM189.00?? Wow!! I was fainted for a while when I was seeing the price of this product. Hey, it contains only 3oml but it is pricey! See?? I already told you that Cellnique is a vampire, isn't it??


Chill....I didn't bought it. I was just got the mini sample by Cellnique beauty saloon. 


From above, you can see that 'high concentration of Hyaluronic Acid and essential Amino Acids to bind moisture in the dermal connective tissue and to restore elasticity of the skin.' hmm...definitely yes. 

After you apply it you will feel that your skin is very moist. =) 

I will not stop you all to purchase it but then I do not recommend you to purchase it at the same time as it is freaking pricey! Honestly, RM189.00 is not a small amount of money for almost everyone of us especially student like me. I would rather buy another brand of product if I had had more money.

hmm....maybe you will curious that why am I gave 5 stars for this product. Okay, 5 stars actually doesn't means that it is worth buying but it really worked.

So, maybe I will purchase it if I had a fat cat husband. lol 

My Verdict：

*Non-oily and non-comedogenic formulation

For this Skin Purifying Daytime Protection 20, it is specially designed 3-in-1 daytime protection with SPF20 for oily and acne prone skin. It works as a full spectrum sun protection (blocks UVA and UVB), an acne cream and a natural foundation to even acne marks. By the way, it is non-oily formulation. 

As my experience, it was just so so. Non-oily formulation? Bull shit! Full of those disgusting oil on my face while applying this sunblock. @#$%?&@!#% 

The only thing that I like this product was it could cover my scar and redness. 

In conclusion, it was not the best sunblock for me.

This is how the Oasis Soothing Gel look like

It was one of the pricey products I've ever used. Actually, the main reason that I said it was a pricey product was it only lasts me for 3 or 4 months. For something so little(50ml) but so pricey, I really do not support you all to buy!

hmm...honestly, it worked! I love it very much but then I hate the price very much at the same time. lol.
