Review : Collistar Talasso- Scrub Termoattive


A while ago Sasa Malaysia is looking for guest writer for Collistar Talasso- Scrub Termoattivo a brand that Sasa carries in their store and guess what LUCKY ME was selected to be one of them!

Collistar Talasso Scrub Termoattivo is a reshaping exfoliating salts with phytoextracts and essential oils.

According to the website,it is a special heat-effect thalasso treatment designed to exfoliate and reshape the body.

Exfoliating action - 90 types of sea salts to leave the skin instantly smoother, brighter and more toned.

Remodelling effectiveness - Six different plant extracts with strong lipolitic proper ties act in synergy to reduce accumulations of fat. Their effectiveness is boosted by the heat effect, which stimulates the skin microcirculation and helps the active principles to penetrate, and by the draining action performed by osmosis by the sea salts.

Revitalizing power - Lavender and rosemary essential oils revive the skin and give energy and well being to the organism.



I was given a deluxe size of 150g to try which lasts me for less than 3 times, I tried on my big fat thighs and round tummy!



Ingredients List



When I first opened it, I take a sniff like how I usually do before using any new product. I must say Collistar Talasso Scrub Termoattivo smells so so good, full of lavender and rosemary essential oils, it is so heavenly refreshing!

As I was not provided with spatula, I have to use my fingers (without much thought) to dig out the salt to apply on my hand for this demo... Argh... those salts got stuck in my my nails as I was digging... and took me a while to remove it. So warning girls, get a spatula !



Texture : It is sea salt soaked in essential oils, the salt is fine but can still feel the beads

The first time I used it, I accidentally wet my body and put on the scrub on my body. And I must say it does not work well on wet skin as it melted even before I start scrubbing it and one must be very gentle while scrubbing or it will caused redness (especially for people with sensitive skin).



So when we apply this on dry skin, the salted did not melt away immediately and I got quite some time to scrub....

To be honest, I did not felt a lot of heat effect when I used the scrub, only very slightly warm feeling when I scrub intensely on my palm. And the heat effect only if you apply the scrub on dry skin!



Result : After scrubbing for a good 5-10 minutes, I can definitely say that my skin smells so good and awake (because of essential oils), smoother and slighter brighter. And to be honest I cant see whether there is slimming effect on my skin as the quantity is too little for me to last me a bit longer to see (got too much fat and I need more to scrub it away!).

This reminded me of my un-finished slimming packaging where the the salon therapist scrubbed my body with chilly scrubs. I remembered the therapist was using the method of pushing/scrubbing the fats from the side to the middle part of the body.

So I guess if I would apply the same method, the probably the scrub slimming effect would work better for me??

Or maybe I should hire a lady masseur and help scrub everyday for 1-2 hour, I believe still cheaper than the freaking expensive slimming package!


This produce is available for purchase at any SaSa outlet at RM145 for 700g.


And would really consider purchasing it if the price was slightly lower or having discount as I believe a bottle of 700g would not last me long with so many fat deposits around me..hehe !

p/s: My bf told me I smell so good and he love this smell the most among my other body scrub.



Thank you SaSa Malaysia for providing the above product for blog review.

Review : Empro Day & Night Mascara and other products

Early this month I reviewed about Empro Triangular Eyebrow Auto Pencil and Empro HD Slim Cut Dual Lead Brow Auto Pencil and now I will be reviewing their mascara, eyelashes curler and makeup remover.


This is Empro Day & Night Mascara is made in Korea


Direction from box


Ingredients (click to enlarge if you wish to find out)


This is 2 in one product, day and night mascara.

According to Empro's website, this is extra Volume, extra Length, Vivid, Curlier Curls, Easy to remove, Water resistant, Clump-free, Smudge-free.

Blending natural herbal ingredients with an advanced antioxidant formula, and enriched with vitamin E, the Empro mascara nourishes your eyelashes as it creates a more beautiful you. Its velvety texture feels silky soft on even the most sensitive skin around the eyes.



This Day Mascara which suppose to help Lengthen + extra curl



I applied 2 layer of mascara on my eyes using zigzag method after curling my eyelashes with Doll Lash Curler.



My review : I can see oblivious result of separating my lashes and lengthening as the mascara consists very fine fiber. And its not too much and therefore even after applying the mascara my eye still looks very natural. And the fibers stay on my eyes pretty well too!



Indeed the mascara has the very good curling effect as my lashes look so much curl after using it.



This is the night mascara, the comb is slightly bigger and more volume compare to the Day mascara

Volume + extra curl
Night Use - Creates extra volume to give you plush, curly eyelashes for a charming, vivid and alluring effect on your eyes, whatever the occasion.


My review : It does provide a little more volume however I do not think it has much curling effect like the Day Mascara.

Can see that the eyelashes have more volume but not curled

Here are the comparison picture.

My say : This Empro Day & Night Mascara as overall is a pretty good product, and I would suggest one to apply 2 different mascara (day and night) one after another, to have all the 3 effects ... which is voluming, lengthening and curling eyelashes.. And definitely a good product to put in handbag as I could quickly choose and apply whichever mascara to suit my look without bringing another additional mascara. The mascara itself stay on pretty well and is smudge/water proof free and easily removed with makeup remover.

This Empro Day & Night Mascara is selling at RM58.80 for 10ml , would say a pretty decent price for 2 in 1 product!


Doll Lash Eyelash curler is another brand that are carried by Empro as well which is from Korea.



Surprisingly the eyelashes fit perfectly on my eyes (i.e did not clip the meat around my eyes). The curler curl up my lashes quite well too !

And this eyelashes curler price at only RM 19.80 only



The Doll Lash Scissor is stainless steeel... pretty handy and sharp , done a job of what a scissor should do !

Price at RM 12.80



Empro's Perfect Eye & Lip Makeup Remover- RM39.80 for 5.1 fl oz

From Empro's website

This non-greasy and lightweight makeup remover contains Vitamin E, an excellent antioxidant and has anti-aging properties. This makeup remover also contains Hyaluronic Acid that hydrates and soothes as it cleanses, leaving skin firm and silky smooth.

My review : The makeup remover is gentle (comes with Vit E....too) as it does not irritate or sting my eyes when I used it. It removes Empro's cosmetic from my eyes quite well. And what I like this remover the most is I like about this makeup remover is pump out bottle where I just press lightly on top of remover and get sufficient remover to remove makeup (so no wasted from spill or over pour out). However the down side is it does not remove properly some of my very waterproof mascara (like Max Factor)

All the above products are available for purchase in Empro counters and SaSa
