Yuan Heart leaf Houttynia Soap and Yuan Sishen Chinese Herbs Soap review

Yup, I am a fan of Yuan Soap! Since I've started using Yuan Soap, it never disappoint me, well, so far. I just can't stop loving this organic soap! My face condition has improved a lot, excluding days where I have hormonal acnes and days where I stayed up super late! XD

OKAYYY, back to the review.
I'll start with Yuan Heart Leaf Houttynia Soap 阿源鱼腥草皂

Product description in Chinese.

It claimed to:

--Rejuvenate skin

--Gently purify skin which let your pores 'breathe freely'.

 

This might be the least favourite among the Yuan soap I've tried. Of course it is not because it gave me adverse effect. It is because I don't see much improvement on my skin condition. It still did what it claimed somehow, my clogged pores problem was a little better.

 

Ingredients: Houttuynia juice (houttuynia cordata), Napier grass juice (Pennisetum purpureum), Tea Tea Oil (Melaleuca Alternifolia), Eucalyptus Oil, olive oil(Olea europeoa, coconut oil(Cocos Nucifera).

 

Price: RM35.90

 

 

 

Yuan Sishen Chinese Herbs Soap 阿原四神皂

 

I forgot to take pictures of it before I use it. Sorry for the ugly condition :P

 

 

 

Description in Chinese

Price and Ingredients

It claimed to help dry and rough skin to have softer skin with improved elasticity. Well, as usual, it does what it claimed. My skin is softer and smoother! This one definitely moisturize my skin, although not much because it is not as drying compare to other Yuan soap especially Yuan Lemon.

But since I have acne prone skin with acne scars, I will not repurchase this any sooner because I want to get rid my acne scars first as this soap does not help on fading the scaring, well, not for me at least.

SkinFood Pomegranate Lip Chic SPF10 review

This lipstick comes with SPF10 which is so helpful especially for us in Malaysia, sunscreen function is just a great bonus for it!
This range have 10 colours in total.

This is not my favourite colour for this range but anyway, its still okay :D

 

 

Colour code

If you have dry lips (like me), it is better that you apply lip balm before this lipstick because it is not moisturizing enough.
As for the pigmentation, it is quite pigmented and buildable. Just add a few more layers if you want a very pigmented lip look and oh, conceal your lip with concealer or foundation to make the colour standout more :D

 

Senka Perfect Gel Makeup Remover Rinse off/Wipe off review

The reason why I bought this was because I saw a youtuber gave good review on the cleasing foam, so when I bought that foam cleanser, I thought I might as well try this. Plus, the price is very affordable.

160g



product description

product color and texture :)

I am not satisfied with this makeup remover.
Firstly, it don't remove all makeup.
light/base makeup(in my case=primer,sunblock,powder products), yup, it can remove them quite well.
But liquid eyeliner, etc, nope. UNLESS I rub harshly then yup,it can be remove quickly.
So, I only use this when I don't apply any eye and lip makeup(in order to not wasting it).

 

not sure if the bb cream part is clear enough
for u guys

 

bb cream can be removed quite easily
but not eyeliner

focusing on eyeliner

focusing on bb cream

after wiped off the gel remover

Next, I don't like it because it makes my face feel greasy. So I have to wash my face with cleanser afterward which I will do it anyway with other makeup remover, but for this product, I have to cleanse my face twice because the first time, the foam from the cleanser will be greatly reduced cause by the 'greasy-ness'. I wash for the second time to confirm my face is clean.


price: around RM20
repurchase? nope.

SkinFood Banana Yogurt Mask Wash Off review

I've actually finished using it! I used it 1-2times per week. It lasted for around 6months++. I normally just applied a thin layer all over my face or just U-zone so it lasted longer for me. It smells totally like banana! sweet!

 

 

The texture is quite runny so you have to be careful with it. It contains little yellow beads that will act as gentle exfoliate. The beads can be melted/crushed(not sure if I described it right but my point is it is not the hard and harsh type of beads).

 

 

 

This mask is for sensitive skin. It contains banana extracts. I've sensitive, super acne-prone and combination skin. My U-zone/cheeks are a bit dry so sometimes I will just apply on U-zone to soothe and hydrate. When I have acne on my cheeks(which happened a lot of times), I will also use this mask to soothe those bad acne. Redness reduced too!! Using this mask will actually help prevent patchiness on my cheeks and my face got smoother so... makeup adhered well :)

 



SkinFood Avocado Lip Balm Review

For those who have chapped lips problem * pat on your shoulder* I understand your feeling :'(
I tried several lip balm products in the market. So far, this is the best.

 

Lip balm that I used before make my lips even worst. My lips will become drier and chapped more :'(

For this, my lips are moisturized. It last long and I have to reapply it after a few hours especially after having meals/drinks. Apply it before you go to bed and you'll have soft plump kissable lip on the next morning! *muackss* The scent are ok, sweet scent. Product's scent doesn't bother me much.

 

 



Size of it

 

Sorry for the messy-ness :P  coz I carry this around :D

The texture are just like most of lip balm in the market--creamy, buttery.
I like the color and the design of the product, GOLD and vintage, who doesn't like gold color XD
I really love this lip balm but the only downside of it is...it is in a tub :'(  Hygienic is very important for me, before I apply it, I have to wash my hand or use wet tissue to clean my hand 1st. So it is quite annoying.


Price: RM28 (12g)

Repurchase? most probably not because of the tub packaging :(

TheFaceShop Mask Sheet review

TheFaceShop real nature mask Cucumber

 

 

I prefer this cucumber mask sheet the most. It left me the least sticky feeling the most, or should I say no sticky feeling at all XD  I used to hate mask sheet but since I tried this, I started to accept mask sheet again :D  It hydrated my skin yet didn't make it sticky like most mask sheet would. I have sensitive and acne-prone skin so sticky-ness is really bad bad bad, mask that leave sticky feeling will break me out and clogged my pores(that what I felt). Anyway, my skin is hydrated and soft and smooth after using this.
p/s: I pat lightly until ALL the essence absorbed into my skin, this is especially important for me to really make sure I don't get any stick-ness. (This took some time)

TheFaceShop real nature mask Green Tea

This is the No.2 mask sheet I liked from TheFaceShop. I had very dry skin and a few acnes that dried up and form patches and I had to meet a friend the next day, so I used this mask as emergency treatment to hydrate and soothes my skin so that my makeup will not get cakey and form ugly patches the next day. I always did a gentle exfoliation to remove dead skin cells before any mask so that the essence will be absorbed by my skin and not getting wasted. After washing and exfoliating my face, I apply toner and put on this mask for about 20minutes then I will remove it and pat gentle until everything is absorbed.
My skin is hydrated and soothed and the dry patches and redness greatly reduced :D

TheFaceShop real nature mask Aloe Vera

well, this is ranked No.3.. basically the result it gave me was almost the same as the Cucumber and Green Tea, but why I ranked it No.3? it was basically just because it gave a little bit more sticky feeling than the another 2. It did hydrate and soothe but the moisturization was a bit rich for me :)


I still have a few others but not yet try :D

Price per sheet: RM6.9 (I bought when TFS had promotion, BUY 5 FREE 5)

Definitely will repurchase!!

Skinny Jeans

who loves skinny jeans???!!!!!
well, I DO!!! haha
last 2months, I bought 2 pairs of jeans from Brands Outlet and Padini. They are cheap and affordable for students (ME!!)

First, skinny jeans from Brands outlet. Overall, the quality is good enough for the price. The only down side of this is the smell. It has a very strong chemical "jeany" smell. I cant get rid of the smell although after a few washes. To avoid it becoming loose, I strongly advice to not wash it toooo frequently :D


Brand: Brands outlet
Price: RM49.9

 

Second, from Padini. I love the colour! I wanted a dark blue jeans and they had it with a super affordable price when I went to shop for a dark blue skinny jeans! So of course I have to grab this! It's a little bit more stretchy than the Brands Outlet jeans. I liked this one a bit more because it's comfortable and doesn't have the strong chemical smell.

Brand: Padini
RM39

July online shopping

just a simple experience sharing blog..as I bought quite a few stuff online this month..hope will help some of you that are interested to shop from these websites :D

1st, naruko.com.my
I bought stuff here quite a few times already because some products that I wanted are not available at stores like Watson, so I decided to get all Naruko products that I wanted online...I liked their service, I received my order within 3days.
definitely will repurchase from this website again.



Naruko box



products are covered with papers

code on each product for you to check whether it's authentic products :)
you can check on their website :)

Next, hermo.my
this is actually my first time buying from this website.
I received my order 1week+ later, this is due to 'out of stock' problem, so I had to wait them re-stocking.. but I still received it within 3days after they informed me that my order was ready to ship..
yup, I will repurchase from this website, as brand like Innisfree that the store is not available in Malaysia is available here and the price is reasonable :) sometimes they give samples too, but it was my bad luck, samples finished when I made my order :(

I will do Naruko products review (that I bought) soon..as I used them for quite a long time / a few bottles already.. but for the products that I bought from Hermo.my, I have never use them before, so I will do reviews on them after I use them :D

SkinFood Vita Juice Hand Essence review

So I got this for quite a while now, I think about 8months..? I am not a hand cream person because I hate that greasy feeling that most creams/lotions give, so, if I'm using any creams/lotions then they must be really non-greasy :D

SkinFood Vita Juice Hand Essence

oopppsss!

it's a little bit dirty now as I always

bring it with me :p

 so, what does it claimed to do?
1. light weight
2. non-sticky
3. enriched with vitamins
4. nourishes and moisturizes dry and rough hands

well, it does everything it claimed!
it is not greasy at all and it is super light weight. my hands are dry sometimes, so I just put it in my bag and carry it with me wherever I go so that I can apply it anytime and anywhere I want.

Mostly I applied on my hands only, but sometimes my elbow too.. it makes my hands feel softer and moisturize yet not greasy at all! I don't like to hold my pens or phone or whatever with greasy hands, it is just super annoying. 
I have to do lab experiments for like twice a week at least, so in the lab I actually washed my hands quite often, so my hands can be a little dry than usual so this hand essence/cream is very good for me! (lots of "so" huh :P)

The Face Shop Pure Water Facial Mist (Jeju Marine) review

 

 

I used this as my toner too sometimes, especially when I'm out, I normally would bring this with me when I went swimming :D swim can make your skin dry,well, mine at least. So I will use this to freshen up my face after swim. I also used this if I'm out in the hot sun (It's Malaysia,so,yeah,hot!) It makes my face feels a lot fresher and cool.





look! it's finishing! BTW, this is my 2nd bottle!

Definitely wanna try another two - Jeju Orange and Jeju Flower.

Price: RM18.9 at TheFaceShop
