Spotlight: Beauty Edition

I am back home and having spent almost 3 weeks blissfully chilling and eating, I thought I share some beauty products that I've been loving recently. For cleanser , I really do enjoy this one for removing my make up. I won't say its something you can count on to take a completely BEAT face off but if you typically don on light makeup (me on the daily), this does the job. I really wanted to try be environment friendly by avoiding make up wipes as much as I can and I can't use cleansing oils because I have no hot water back in the hostel to really get that off. Hence, I gave this a go and its a bliss to massage into the face. I've been trying this thing I read from W Magazine that's a Japanese technique to cleanse as well as rinse for a couple minutes each to really clean out your face with gentle cleansers. So this product was perfect to also implement that and easy to rinse out as well. When I wanted to be more gentle to my skin, I worried that product...

Haul+Review: Beauty Edition III

BIORE UV AQUA RICH SUNSCREEN I always enter the sunscreen section of drugstore with some concerns. Its just tough when you're oily in one area and not really in others while trying to get a sunscreen that accommodates those two in one face. While being such a integral part of skincare, it is also sometimes the least thoroughly thought of product unless you were off on some tropical getaway. You might think that SPF found in your bb cream to be a great add on but it doesn't mean you can depend exclusively to it as your sun protection even if you use it daily. It just won't stand up to a regular sunscreen. However Biore seem to have a range of sunscreens to cater to what you're looking for so I bought this one. I don't have the original packaging but I do remember that it promises a semi matte finish and no lingering white cast. Which I'm happy to report that it isn't causing me breakouts or leaving me looking like a ghost. It also seem to be well aft...

Haul+Review: Beauty Care Edition II

THE FACE SHOP GREEN TEA FACE MASK The cool thing about masks from The Face Shop is that you can find ones that are real cheap, like around RM6 cheap. Of course for one sheet you may think it isn't exactly a steal but in comparison to most brands in drugstores like Watson and Guardian, its far better. There is also something non-sticky and easily absorbed about their formulas that makes this a treat from mother nature herself. This one is meant to soothe irritation and revitalises your skin. I usually stock on this when my face is having its occasional red breakout and it does its job decently. Better if you popped this out from the fridge. My skin feels really nice to the touch and I always feel a sense of satisfaction when an ugly bump shrinks down considerably. MEDIHEAL I.P.I LIGHTMAX MASK This one offers, you guess it, brightening effect with some moisture enhancement. I specifically used it on a very particular busy day where my skin just felt exhausted and du...

Haul+Review: Beauty Care Edition I

Hey guys! So over the couple of months, I have garner quite a bit of haul that I thought it be way better to just split this post into three parts. With that said, we're gonna start of with some beauty care: ARCONA RASPBERRY CLARIFYING BAR  I ran out of a few stuff hence why I decided I be open to the market of something else I haven't tried. Aside from going as natural as possible in my routine, I like to go into stores with an aim and while I have fairly okay skin, I still had a bunch of tiny zits on my forehead that weren't bad or anything but they were always in the way for my dream of a smooth textured face as weird as that was worded. So with that in mind and yet again plunging into a discussion with one lady at Sephora, she recommended Arcona. A low key skincare brand that did things natural and with advance tech. This bar is cold-pressed so while using it, your skin is getting the goodies it offers as effectively as possible. Not going to lie though;...

DIY: Rosewater

If you have been looking up at my hauls, you know I'm a huge fan for skincare and lately I've been more interested in going as natural as I like in my routine. Don't get me wrong, certain chemicals are good for us (e.g. Retinol, Amino Acids and Salicylic Acid just to name a few) too but there is also something very reassuring knowing the products you use are Paraben Free or Alcohol Free and all that. I feel like you're less likely to mess up your skin that way. With that same passion combine with my interest of DIY, I give you: The Rosewater. In one of my previous posts, I have highly praised my Fresh Rose Floral Toner and still do but I'll admit coming into the end of my third bottle that my skin have now adapted to it. It just isn't quite as effective since but I still commend it for keeping any irritation to my skin at bay. It isn't worth getting it anymore given how pricey it was but I still couldn't part from its calming effects so makin...

Beauty Haul+Review

Fulfilling my promise to you guys about some haul I got yeah! I decided to kind of introduce some of the things I got from all my previous trips slowly since using them from several months to a couple years now, I can finally attest to their use and hence I will put in bit by bit so bear with me. With that said lets start with the beginning of my current skincare routine: Fresh Rose Cleansing Foam Starting with the cleansing of the face, I'm not going to lie but ever since Sephora open up here in KK, I have made quite a few splurges since I finished my cleanser and toner that I usually buy from my facialist/esthetician. However her stuff are uber expensive and not really in stores anywhere else. Hence determined to find a cheaper alternative, I was more than excited to venture into what the sales associates (Fun fact: they are actually called "cast members" and the sales floor are the "stage") would recommend. I always went for as natural as I could aff...

On Beauty

  So to kick off with introducing you guys the major haul I got from the US and some other finds from home, I decided to start with the beauty bundle I manage to put together. I'm no professional so I'm simply writing this review from my own opinion and experience. Here goes: ARGANICARE Hair Serum   I've recently am into caring my hair as I never paid much attention to it but since I started playing around with it, I learned on the way that it needs some love if its gonna go through a couple heat hair wands. Despite my initial intent of treating it to some coconut oil, I find that I never have enough coconut oil for my hair and if I do, I most likely forgot. This serum that I got from Ross was price down to around $7 from its original $26. What really caught my attention was that it had certified Argan Oil for that much needed vitamin E and anti-oxidant and Shea butter. Its objective is to keep hair from looking dull and be that instant repair for roots to tips....
