Shiseido White Lucent: Crush and Eject Spots in Just 7 Days+White Lucent Blogger Challenge+Giveaway Close

 Recently, I got news that I will be part of a beach trip this month, and I got a little agitated because my face is not yet beach- ready as it still has a couple of post- acne marks. Oh God, if I could only wear full coverage foundation on the beach and swim with it, I would, but that is totally impossible! So when Shiseido had invited me last week to the launch of their latest innovation, a duo of spot lightening products that promises to illuminate skin in just seven days, I dropped everything I needed to do just to attend it-it is something that I really, really, really need at the moment!

Introducing Shiseido's White Lucent Intensive Spot Targeting Serum+ and Power Brightening Mask, an awesome twosome that promises to brighten skin in just seven days with the CRUSH X EJECT action. Whoa!

Dark spots are accumulated Melanin bits trapped under the skin. The things that cause it to rise on the cutaneous surface are sun exposure and reactions to strong substances found in skin products. (e.g. Benzoyl Peroxide) Melanin is actually a skin defender: When the body detects that the skin is at risk, Melanin comes to the rescue by rising to the surface to prevent grave skin damage, but sadly, they stay clumped together even if the skin is no longer in harm's way and the result is spotty, uneven skin tone. Just like dead skin cells on the surface, Melanin needs to be disintegrated in order for you to unveil a fresher and more uniform skin tone. This is what Shiseido's White Lucent Serum and Mask-which are both part of the breakthrough White Lucent skin care line-promise to do.

CRUSH: SHISEIDO WHITE LUCENT INTENSIVE SPOT TARGETING SERUM+

Inspired by Spot- Removing Laser Treatments

- Spot- Removing Laser treatments make use of a high- powered laser beam that goes right into the cellular level to zap Melanin, causing it to disappear--The serum's MelanoCrush Energizer, a Shiseido- exclusive ingredient, mimics the effect of this treatment. It also has Multi-target Vitamin C, m-Tranexamic Acid, and 4MSK, the patented original whitening ingredient of Shiseido to break down Melanin formation. Its ultra light consistency and quick absorbency promote an effective delivery system in the skin.

EJECT: SHISEIDO WHITE LUCENT POWER BRIGHTENING MASK

Inspired by Iontophoresis

- Iontophoresis is a skin treatment that uses low- level electricity to increase the penetration of whitening products in the skin for optimum efficacy. The mask has an abundance of advanced whitening ingredients and the IonForce technology, (patterned after Iontophoresis) which works by delivering all the whitening and brightening ingredients right into the skin for immediate and visible brightening.

Here's how the duo works:

The serum is applied first to crush Melanin formation, then the mask is used afterwards to eject the Melanin fragments completely.

Promising products, eh? I bet my post- acne marks are trembling now. Harharhar!

White Lucent premium range- I like the skin softener!

I got a free facial using the Serum and Mask. Yay!

After removing my makeup, the serum was applied all over my face, and the mask was left on for 10 minutes.

First impression: My skin felt very hydrated and ultra soft after using both products. The serum has a very gentle texture: It's a watery kind of moisture-not the thick, creamy type. When the mask was used on me, I felt that something interesting was happening: My skin had sensed some small, prickly sensations, although it's not painful--not at all. I had this feeling that the mask was penetrating my pores, and doing its magic within. Didn't experience any breakouts with the products!

My makeup was done by Genesis of Shiseido. He's good with base makeup!

Hmmm... my skin looks brighter in here. Maybe it's because of the mask! :)

I just opted for a simple, fresh makeup and a statement lip using the hot pink Lacquer Rouge. I am so buying this lip color soon-wasn't able to buy it because I had to prioritize a spot treatment that day!
