Changes

The time has come. Style Flavors' makeover is almost complete and the new, improved site will be live this week. I know, I know. I've been talking about changes/makeovers for months now but it is finally happening.

I'm not going to make any promises but I am pretty darn sure that the new Style Flavors would satiate your appetites for products, fashion pieces, shoes, accessories and everything in-between to a much greater extent.

So thank you for sticking around and for your patience. I would buy you all a drink and a lap-dance if I could. If you happen to visit/live in Singapore (where I am currently based) and want to take me up on my offer for drinks and lap dances, contact me. I am serious. I don't fuck around when it comes to alcohol and cheap thrills.

And if you're wondering why Nicolas Ghesquiere's picture is on this post, well, in Style Flavors' world - you can never get too much of Nicolas Ghesquiere. So there.

Origins Youthtopia Age-Correcting Serum with Rhodiola

I have been trying very hard to reverse the damage done by reckless sun-bathing during my uninformed youth. Discolorations, fine lines and every other sign you don't on your face. I've been using this serum for more than a month now and it has helped speed up the repairing process.

This herb-scented serum smells green - organic. The lightweight texture of this serum makes this wonderful for all skin types and for humid weather conditions. It goes on easily to reveal a fresher, smoother complexion.

With daily use, my fine lines softened while the overall tone of my skin improved. Its firming properties is another appreciated factor - with age, collagen decreases and this helps to promote collagen growth, which in turns leads to firmer, younger-looking skin. Who doesn't want that?

Thrifty Flavors: Vaseline Cocoa Butter Deep Conditioning Body Lotion

I don't have the greatest skin and I sleep with the AC on most every night of the year so moisturizing is a must for me. I shudder to think of the state of my skin if I didn't moisturize it daily.

It so happened I ran out of night body moisturizer (I use a separate one for the day; a lighter one with UV protection). I need something rich and moisturizing enough to combat the drying effects of the constant hours spent in an air-conditioned room. I saw this at the store and grabbed a bottle.

Cocoa butter is one of the best friends your skin can have. And this lotion from Vaseline contains that and glycerin to lock and seal in moisture. My skin felt smoother and softer with a healthy glow that didn't go unnoticed. I like how it's rich but not greasy and how it absorbs quickly into my skin.

The light smell of the cocoa butter is pleasant and of course, there are many other cocoa butter lotions that smell better or stronger but for the great price and the good looking skin I got from using this, I'm not about to complain.

Get the Vaseline Intensive Care Cocoa Butter Deep Conditioning Body Lotion (24.5oz/725ml) for US$7.99 at Drugstore.com.

Murad Vitalic T-Zone Pore Refining Gel

As you get older, collagen level in your skin decreases which leads to wrinkles and enlarged pores (among other things). Note that you can't physically change the size of your pores (it's pretty much genetically defined) but you can alter the way they look. Like refining them via the use of products.

I am a sucker for products that get rid of blackheads and ones that refine my pores. So having used a bunch of Murad products with good success, this pore refining gel was next on my list.

The lightweight texture of this serum is great for humid climates and so is the sebum regulating properties of this handy serum. With retinol glycolic and salicylic acid, this gel not only works to refine pores but also shed dead skin cells and even out skin tone.

With twice daily use of this, I saw a refinement of my pores in 3 weeks. I very much appreciated the oil regulating effect - great for nights on the town. Since the glycolic and salicylic acid work to gently exfoliate skin, an improved texture and softness was the end result.

This is perfect for times in your life when you don't want your pores to be the center of attention. Get this Murad Vitalic T-Zone Pore Refining Gel 50ml/2oz for US$40 at Strawberrynet.com.

Nu Skin Creamy Cleansing Lotion

I get the occasional breakouts caused by the lack of sleep and stress - you know, the usual suspects. I just had an outbreak last week and I seem to always get zits at the worst time. So out came the trusty sulfur masks and the zit creams - the zits were gone in a few days.

But my skin was left feeing tight and it didn't help with all the air-conditioning it had been exposed to. So whenever I am in such a skin situation, I swap my usual acne cleanser with a milder gentle one. Like this useful one here.

Its mild formula removes daily dirt, oil and grime easily while keeping moisture locked which helps deal with the post acne treatment tightness tremendously. The soy lipids keeps my skin hydrated and all it takes it just one wash to feel the difference and to get my skin back on track.

Which also makes this great for long flights when you need a cleanser that cleans and hydrates while making sure your skin doesn't get dried out further.

Get this Nu Skin Creamy Cleansing Lotion for US$17.10 at Nu Skin.

Dr. Andrew Weil for Origins™ 'The Way of the Bath™' Matcha Tea Body Lotion

I love Japan, Japanese food (I can have Japanese food everyday) and Japanese products such as green tea and matcha. When this range was first released, my curiosity was piqued. There are a lot of products on the market today with claims of tea extracts and benefits and all the usual marketing ploy but really, how much of it is actually true?

I've been using this for a week now and unlike said other products - this body lotion from Origins doesn't promise anything it can't fulfill. The first thing that hits you is its strong tea scent, part matcha and part essential oils (almond, kukui nut, jojoba etc). The scent might be a tad too strong for some but give it a few minutes and a lighter undertone will reveal itself.

The next thing you realize is how rich and luxurious it is. My body was instantly moist and it stayed that way until my next shower. You can feel the film of moisture on your skin and I was engrossed with rubbing my hands together when I applied this for the first time.

With extracts of rice butter and murumuru butter that envelope skin in moisture, ginseng, kukui but, jojoba seed and sweet almond oil to invigorate your senses and calm you down after a long day. Its blend of essential oils is supposed to soothe the spirit and promote focus; I won't go so far as to say that it had any significant effect on my inner senses but I did feel lighter and more relaxed after application.

It's great for those easy, lazy nights after a long week or for a home spa session. Either way, your skin and senses will be in for a treat.

Get this for US$40 (6.7oz/200ml) at Nordstrom.

Kiehl's Creme De Corps

This is hands down one of my favorite moisturizers. It is rich, glides on smoothly and visibly improves skin. The no-fragrant formula ensures you smell like you.

You'll feel an instant smoothing effect after the first application and with continuous use, this will reveal soft, healthy, happy skin. The light orange hint comes from natural beta-carotene that provides antioxidant protection to fight daily environmental aggressions.

Cocoa butter that melts at body temperature lubricates and softens to relief dry, dehydrated skin. I take this with me on every winter vacation and it is a skin saver worth relying on.

Sesame oil gives this body lotion its silky texture and allows rapid absorption into dry skin cells. With multiple size options, you can take this anywhere.

I always get the 1 liter pump bottle every time because it is more cost-effective in the long run. So your skin and your wallet will thank you.

Get this for US$26.50 (8.4oz/250ml) at Kiehl's.

Keri Long Lasting Hand Cream with Vitamin E

I am quite particular about having hands so I wash my hands quite frequently throughout the day. Before I eat, before grooming, after I touch the family dog etc. That dries up my hands pretty quickly so having a good hand cream is essential.

I discovered this great hand cream a few weeks ago and I have been anamored ever since. My staple before this was the Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Hand Cream, Fragrance Free. I still swear by that but I have been using the Neutrogena one for years and I like to shake things up a little. So this Keri Long Lasting Hand Cream with Vitamin E has become my new staple.

The beauty of this is that a protective film still remains after a wash or a couple so if you ever forget to reapply or for whatever reason, your hands still feel soft and moisturized. The texture is wonderful too and it leaves my hands soft, smooth and really comfortable after every application.

Vitamin E protects your hands while offering antioxidant protection. As soon as I realized how good this was, I went back to the store to buy a few more tubs. The super afforable price tag is just icing on the cake when a product works this well.

Get this Keri Long Lasting Hand Cream with Vitamin E (4oz/113g) for US$5.49 at Drugstore.com.

Clarins Men Skin Difference

Good two-in-one products give you a bang for your buck. I am always keen on things that give me a bang for my buck. I mean, money's hard-earned so why shouldn't your products work hard for you too?

Shaving is a daily routine and this two-in-one product from Clarins helps make it that much easier. Two products - one water-soluble and one oil-soluble works to soften facial hair and slow down regrowth while moisturizing at the same time.

I slapped this on the night before I want to shave and go to bed with it. This allows the product to penetrate and work its magic while you sleep. The next morning, shaving is a breeze. I could feel the difference. It's noticeably easier and quicker when I shave the next day. Plus waking up with hydrated and softer skin can't hurt either.

ZAPZYT Acne Pack

I used to have severe teenage acne when I was in high school. I went to bed one night with clear skin and the next morning, my whole face was filled with zits. It was the least enjoyable aspect of puberty - at least for me.

I tried many different products and getting a acne kit was the most economical and convenient. I used ProActiv for a while and it helped but then it stopped working because my skin got used to it. So I switched to AcneFree which worked great. I had to deal with an outbreak recently and I was looking for products and I found this.

It comes with a cleanser fortified with 2% Salicylic Acid, a day moisturizer with 2% Salicylic Acid and a stronger night moisturizer with 5% Benzoyl Peroxide. The good thing about this kit is that it also contains Aloe Vera and Chamomile extract which helps soothes red and inflamed skin.

Both moisturizers absorbed quickly and easily and they worked! My zits cleared up in a week and my skin looked better. And the best thing is, you don't have to break the bank ever for good skin!

At US$15.99, this wonderful kit is super affordable. Get this ZAPZYT Acne Pack for US$15.99 at Drugstore.com.
