I recently visited Trade Secrets at Fairview Mall to pick up a free GS Professional One IQ Dryer. The store is quite big and offers a wide selection of products and services, but there were only two staff working at the time. One staff was not as knowledgeable and had to wait for the other staff to assist me after finishing serving other customers.
The GS Professional One IQ Dryer is very lightweight and powerful. It's slim, sleek, and ergonomic, but I wish the button could have a better grip. It has two speeds (high/low) and a cool air function. It comes with a concentrator nozzle to style my hair and a diffuser to reduce frizz. After using the dryer, the end cap can be removed for easy cleaning. It has a foldable handle that makes it easy to travel with.

I often have a pimple or blemish appear on my face, unfortunately. This time when it appeared, I applied one of the Nexcare Thin & Transparent Acne Patches to the affected spot before going to bed. There are two sizes to choose from to cover the pimple. The acne patch is thin and transparent, and if felt comfortable to wear throughout the night. When I woke up in the morning, I noticed the patch changed colour from clear to white. It absorbed all the oil and pus from my pimple. I was really impressed that it worked!
I appreciate that the Nexcare Thin & Transparent Acne Patches have a red tab that allows me to easily peel the patch from the liner and apply it to my skin without touching the sticky side.
This product helped visibly reduce my blemishes as well as prevented me from picking at them. I would definitely recommend this product and will be keeping a pack handy for whenever those blemishes pop up again.

The texture of this concentrate is lightweight and creamy. It absorbs quickly into the skin without leaving a greasy residue.

It's able to smooth and soften the skin, improve skin texture, and beautify my skin overall.
The glass jar feels luxurious and sturdy, although it might be a bit bulky for travel.

Sarna Bug Bite Patches are supposed to provide immediate relief from itching and irritation caused by bug bites, and soothe the skin. In my experience, however, my skin underneath the patch became red and itchy for a while.
The patches are big, transparent, and discreet, making them barely noticeable once applied. I wish they are available in various sizes though. The patches are easy to apply and remove. Simply peel and stick the patch on the bug bite. They adhered well to the skin and stayed in place, and they didn't leave any residue or cause additional irritation when I took them off.

The L'Occitane Artichoke Body Cream has a rich, velvety texture that feels luxurious on the skin. It spreads effortlessly and absorbs quickly without leaving any greasy residue. The smooth application makes it ideal for daily massage, providing an instant boost of hydration and leaving the skin feeling soft for a long time. After several weeks of use, my skin felt intensely hydrated, even in areas prone to dryness. The cream helped improve the texture and tone of my skin, making it look smoother, healthier, and more radiant. There was also a noticeable improvement in skin elasticity.
This body cream has a fresh, strong scent of artichoke that is quite overpowering for me, however.
I appreciate the application tips on the box, instructing how to perform the massage on the shoulders, hips, arms, and legs. It's nice to learn the massage techniques!

Lancôme's Rénergie H.C.F. Triple Serum Eye is an innovative and high performance anti-aging eye concentrate designed to rejuvenate the delicate skin around the eyes.
This unique bottle is elegantly designed with a triple-chamber pump, which dispenses the perfect amount of product for each use, including hyaluronic acid, vitamin C + niacinamide, and vitamin F.
I've been applying this eye serum around my eyes in the morning and evening everyday, and it feels incredibly refreshing and soothing upon application. The serum has a lightweight, non-greasy texture that absorbs quickly into the skin without leaving any residue.
After using it for several weeks, I noticed a significant improvement in the overall appearance of my eye area. The skin felt more hydrated and looked visibly plumper. Dark circles appeared lighter, and the skin tone was more even. The serum also seemed to improve skin elasticity, making my eyes look more awake and youthful.
