“隊草“上了癮
##embed-label-0##
說的，當然絕對不是吸食大麻煙！
我 “隊”上癮已經一年的草，是我千辛萬苦從匈牙利找回來的 ilcsi 景天草（Stonecrop），以我知道，這個草已經令很多 fans 都同樣上癮了！
（＊＊＊＊＊請注意：特此澄清，Bitchy Store 賣的所有 ilcsi 產品，全部都是直接由匈牙利購買，絕對不是從本地的代理購貨。寧願貴一點都不找代理，當然有我非常深入考慮過的理由。大家相信我便好了！＊＊＊＊＊）
先分享一件發生在前幾天的真人真事：
話說難得我有空在香港，於是我就會到銅鑼灣跟讀者和粉絲見見面，聊聊天。那天有一對中年男女走進店內，一副非常確定自己要甚麼的樣子，指著店的皇牌 ilcsi 景天草凝膠面膜並跟 shop keeper 說：「麻煩你，我們要這個，一人要一個！」之後便一直問店員有關其它使用的問題。
我見他們這麼肯定要個 mask，卻又好像對它沒很多認識，於是便加入親自招呼一下，並介紹這個我已經正式上癮的產品。期間，中年男人問：「這個 mask 我們一定會繼續買的，計便宜點吧！」我覺得好奇，於是問他們到底怎樣得知這產品呢？
中年男人手舞足蹈的分享說：「哎呀，你有所不知啊！我們有個同事本來 … 嘩！又老又皺，好乾啊！不過最近我見她忽然白淨了好多，而且好水，所以問她發生甚麼事囉！然後她就說是因為敷了這個草！嘩！連她有老又皺都搞得定，我們這些當然更要搞啦！真啊，她本來好乾好皺啊！！」
聽完後我跟 shop keeper 說：「這麼有趣的 story，值得 post 上 Facebook 啦！」怎料，店員跟我說：「噢！這些故事常常都有的。他們不是第一個了！」
愛上這個有 50 年歷史 ＋ 榮獲 7 屆 Superbrand 的天然有機品牌簡直是上天恩賜的大禮。尤其是景天草 mask，不是開玩笑，我幾乎是晚晚敷的（就算在寫這個blog 的一刻都正在敷-ing）。這個完全無防腐劑的 mask，把我本來底層比較乾的皮膚變得異常水潤；把我本來屬於暗啞的膚色變得亮白；而且皮膚質素 overall 是很不同。後來我發現志同道合者還有其他朋友。
某天，收到朋友 Miss J 短訊問：「原來你都用 ilcsi Stonecrop 啊？我已經用了兩年了！這個 mask 超正啊！我之前塊面狂爆粒粒，看中醫又不行。結果連續日日和晚晚敷它敷足兩個月，完全好過來！不過外面賣好貴啊！你可代我買嗎？」結果，她一買就 4 瓶 125ml，是我本人用的 4 個月份量，但她兩個月就用完再買！
今天沒打算要介紹太多關於這個品牌的背景或者它如何得到很多國際巨星的垂青或者什麼，但是有三點大家必須要注意：
1）雖然這個 ilcsi 景天草 mask 無論包裝、做法、賣相等都跟市面一隻叫做 “Eminence” 的品牌好相似，而事實在 2002－2005 年 ilcsi 真的是 Eminence 的供應商，但自此之後，ilcsi 已經沒有再提供任何原料／製成品給後者，並正式宣布 Eminence 是冒牌貨（可到官網 www.ilcsi.com 查看）。上網多做 research，就更發現很多外國的網站都有懷疑後者現在的產品質素和來源等等。而我都有很多讀者跟我分享過用過 ilcsi 之後，真的不會再用後者了。（我自己都是）。所以，大家如果以為兩個牌子是差不多的話，就大錯特錯了！
2）我曾經在雜誌和市面上見過 ilcsi 的產品跟我用的那些在包裝上有不同。不過我用的那些，全都是由匈牙利原裝拿回來的，跟官網上面的所有 packing 是一樣和同步的。所以，大家購買時真的要小心啊！
3）如果你本身屬於問題皮膚（尤其是已經好乾的皮膚），試用這個mask 最好先以 2：1 清水稀釋，讓皮膚習慣了幾次之後，才原汁原味的敷在臉上，否則，會有機會爆粒粒的！
臨近聖誕，難得有 Promotion 進行中，要買就快喇！（我… 這個禮拜會買 3 套送給朋友，1 套自用。Super 超值！）
我想問如果面珠生左粒暗瘡，成個月都出不到龍頭，可以用這隻mask嗎?
另外如果試用這個mask 最好先以 2：1 清水稀釋，應該是mask 2 份~水一份嗎?
But yout friend Erica Yuen is selling Eminence at her stores !
近年皮膚經常無緣無故出現濕疹，有D痕同會脫皮，但只係喺鼻同下唇下面位置，睇中醫話我濕氣重，睇西醫話我皮膚敏感或者係用錯護膚品，醫生比我查嘅藥膏係有用，不過會令到皮膚偏乾。講開天然產品，有冇好介紹可以舒緩我嘅狀況？
Ivy: 如果在你個case，你不是要用 stonecrop，你是要用 “7 Herbs Treatment” （我叫它做山草藥mask）。不過，要提醒你的是，之前我有朋友出現這些情況，都以為是暗瘡，但後來經我轉介，才知道根本不是。臉上那些粒粒是因為發霉所導致。然後用天然療法搞定了。我建議你，如果想安心D和不浪費金錢亂買products，你不妨致電 3425－3537 找Edmond 查詢或者做個test。是我的讀者才會有discount 啊！不過如果你還是想買products 就買 7 Herbs 喇！
Leanna: Thank you for your message but I wouldn’t comment on any business decisions made by others, In fact the “copied products” announcements has been made publicly by ilcsi long time ago but since this brand is not as commercial and common as the other brand, HK people just don’t know a bit of it, and I just want to deliver trust-worthy and honest info to my fans and readers.
Rikke: 是天氣轉才這樣？還是常常這樣？有沒有留意到什麼可告訴我多點？你可email 我：[email protected]
用了兩盒不同種類e字頭的mask差不多一半了，對我毫無作用，心思思想轉用你介紹的I牌，保濕+收毛孔的話那個比較好？可以敷眼嗎？
Joanne: 如果你不介意，麻煩你 email 我可多描述一下你的皮膚，我才給意見？因為，我都好認真回答所有enquiries，所以想了解多D 啊！[email protected] 謝謝！
Winnie, 我既skin problem係色素(包括斑同暗蒼印),補水及收毛孔..點攪好呀??
仲有超級黑眼圈呀!! 慘!!
Hi Winnie,
我滿臉雀斑，皮膚好乾，每當搽cream好快吸唒，這個mask適合我嗎?
你好fit有什麼keep fit心得?

Hi Winnie, do you know where I can get ilcsi products in vancouver? I was going through the ilcsi website and realized that in north america, ilcsi uses another name “ilike”…

Jovi: 你一定要留意下禮拜一More，我爭取到 ＄700 做個原價 ＄3xxx 的 treatment，就是針對你這些問題！你看看okay 不okay，如果不是，我私抵下再教你！Bitchy Store 的確有個超去印product，不過，我建議你看左more 先！不買more，等多個禮拜，我會在blog 寫！
cheefsful: 你一定要留意下禮拜一More，我爭取到 ＄700 做個原價 ＄3xxx 的 treatment，可以幫到你這些問題！你放心啊，不會好貴啊！哈哈！如果你要去做 Thermage 就更更更好！因為 Thermage 那裡真的搞定我好多問題！我皮膚從來都沒試過這麼good！OK 啊，如果你說明是我讀者，會延期比你啊！至於這個products，可以幫你補水啊！不過要稀釋用幾次先。
Hello Shannon: yes, “ilike” is the North American trademark of ilcsi. If you cannot find / if the price is too expensive, let me know, cos http://www.bitchystore.com do have international delivery which charges on actual postal fees! you may also contact [email protected]
Jess: They did not put the set on online shop, but you can place order at [email protected] AND you can also look for “Bitchystore” on FB as they have put all the sets there. See what best suits you!
themis: thank you for helping out! Jess couldnt find the set on onlineshop, I have replied her already. Thx for helping, you are so sweet!
Hi, Winnie, miss u much. I brought the 7 herbs one and sassou deep cleaning mask, I super super love them. So happy that when I occasionally called Bitchy Store yesterday and the girl told me there is special Xmas set, I have waited for it so long as it is not available for months. So happy I can buy it this Sun.
On the other hand, I saw a ad. for a shop in MORE selling the same brand for red pearl gel mask, but when I got there, it is only 30 ml (not mentioned in the magazine) and surely price is much higher. I am not sure if it really can help hydraing and minimize pore as it is stated in the magazine butwhen I look at the box (different packing from those I brought in Bitchy store) the function is only keep skin less irrated esp. after lazer and keep skin clam only; I wonder if you know the real function of it.
Sorry for my long question. I have tried B complex (good for hair and skin) for 3 mth and I remember you mention we need to take a break instead of continus usage, so how long should I wait for another round treatment.
Also for collegen one, I tried 3 mths also, do I need to take a break also and if so how long it should be, or I can take it coninously.
Sorry for asking so many and thank you for recommending so many good products for us!
erica: miss u much，2！maybe we could meet this Sunday? ahhahah，let’s see!!! I’m glad that you love the products！I think the red pearl gel mask that you mentioned is “rose petal”？Their packaging is not the same，I really don’t understand how they manage to do this － so if you want to buy this brand，go to BS！！！！Don’t waste money，dear！Do they have an English Name for the products？？？Let me know！
As for B Complex and Collagen，I think it’s better for the medical consultant to answer this question，I will email him and cc u tomorrow as well，okay？
Take care！！！！！！ 不要再立亂買東西啦！再這樣我不理你啦！哈哈！
Hi Winnie, so happy to see your reply. The name is “red pearl gel mask”, and it was posted in MORE last week ah, with the shop address.
Haha, just buy 2 sets of 超效景天草美白面膜, 2 bottles of 膠原蛋白及玻尿酸營養補充品 and one Brightening Serum熊果全能亮白精華素（35m). As I seldom use toner and moisturizer, I have asked the girl to let me try the tester before deciding to buy the set, and I love those whitening products so buy the Brigihting serum once found it, But can I use these 2 products as they always said (I have joined the one for lazer treatment you recommended in MORE ah) we cannot use whitening products +/- 7 days for lazer treatment.
For Collagen, haha, just buy it as stock and if I can take it now it will be great but if not, just keep as stock for next comsumption lor.
Yes yes, I will go to BS this Sun afternoon, it will be great if I meet you there and, haha, may be too happy and don’t know what to say (then forgive me in this case), haha.
erica: 想幫你都不知怎樣幫！我真的不明，為甚麼你在中環買的ilcsi，中文名我都刻可以理解不同，但竟然連英文名字都不一樣？！這個真的對我來說是太過匪夷所思！因為原裝來的 ilcsi 的英文名是匈牙利那邊提供，不是我改的，而我所有貨都是 100％從匈牙利來的，所以，我真的不知道你買那個mask 到底是什麼來！也非常擔心。再加上你話你已說明期待要某些功效，但是他們就賣了另外的貨品給你，這個又是另一個問題。I really have no comment to give, erica!!! 小心D，下次不要在BS 以外地方亂買 ilcsi！
I’m glad you love my recommendations！Good！hahahaha！YOU CAN USE THE PRODUCTS AFTER LASER TREATMENT！！！ 因為他們說的美白products，是 refer to those chemicals whitening products，but what you bought are all natural products and I use them after my laser treatments，too！ COllagen has stocks la！ OK what time you think you will be there on Sunday???
[…] “隊草“上了癮 […]
Winnie, 多謝你嘅介紹!!! set 景天草好正呀))) 我連續用咗幾晚, 發覺我d皮膚問題(極乾至出乾紋, 甚至局部敏感, 暗粒, 雀斑…等)得到好明顯改善, 之前因為轉天氣而脫皮嘅問題都冇哂… 好開心呀!!! 真心多謝你啊… 唯獨自己急於試新嘢, 忘記你說過初次用最好先稀釋, 所以我有少少爆粒… 但相比之前極差嘅皮膚, 我鍾意宜家呢d爆粒多d… hahahaaa….
Winnie: 太好喇！太好喇！其實我介紹得的都是經過我很久的測試和找不同的人試過，達到 95％滿意度我才會正式介紹的！所以，能夠讓大家變靚，我好開心啊！粒粒方面，你千萬不要攪它！或者你可以用同牌子的 Rose Hip 產品來幫幫手都OK！keep me update 喇！
WINNIE,我好想買,不過想請問一下有沒有SAMPLE 試用?如果唔岩用就很浪費了！
謝謝～
K：不好意思，現時沒有sample 裝啊！
