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

*I'm NOT sponsored or anything :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

YADAH Moisturising Cactus Mist (fruit garden) review & repurchase update

I got attracted by this cute design! haha. then I started to read the description on the box. It used organic cactus extract(Opuntia) to soothes skin problems. then I thought 'hmmm, I should give it a try' and so I bought it!



I used this as my toner or sometimes as my light moisturizer, depends. But this is not my everyday toner/moisturizer. I use it only when I feel my skin needs it. 

If my face is a bit dry and red, I will use this as a light moisturizer and to soothes my skin. And oh, this is a good product for acne and sensitive skin, which I have! It didn't break me out.

what it claimed:

*24hour moisturizer

*containing 3% of Opuntia extract to ease damaged skin.

*ease acne

well, I did use it to soothes my acne and dry skin. It works well! I will definitely try other products of Yadah as I read their website, Yadah produce hypoallergenic and low-chemical plant-derived products. I always love to choose products that minimise the use of chemicals! 

Main ingredient: water, Opuntia extract, Betaine, Glycerin.

Price: around RM22+- at Sasa.


UPDATE!! (10/10/2014)

Tadaaaa! I repurchased, TWO! I got the fruit garden scent for my brother since I already tried it before.. I'm really liking the Lime scent. If u like refreshing scent then get this one XD

Btw, they are the same,its just the scent that's different :)

Burt's Bee Natural Acne Solutions Targeted Spot Treatment review

I LOVE THIS!!! I've tried a lot of acne treatment products but this is definitely the best that I've ever tried. This is my 3rd bottle!!!

 

 

This is 100% NATURAL (Natural Products Association certified). I love the fact that it is natural :D

It is a acne treatment that contains salicylic acid(0.75%) derived naturally from willow bark extract which contains natural beta hydroxy acids, which acts as a skin exfoliator to help unclog pores.

It is also formulated with Tea Tree, Calendula, Yarrow, and Parsley Extracts to help calm and reduce redness while Borage Extract promotes healthy skin.

 

 

what it claimed

- Clinically proven to help reduce the appearance of blemishes in 48 hours

- Non-irritating

- Soothes skin and reduces redness

- Noncomedogenic

 

It basically does what it claimed but for the "48hours", it depends on the acne. For huge and cystic acnes, it might need much longer time. For my own experiences, huge and cystic acnes took up to 1 week to disappear, sometimes longer. For normal acnes or pimples, it will takes 2-3days. ANYWAY, the important point is IT WORKS! (well, for me, hehe, everyone is different)

I had sensitive and serious acne skin problems and I tried so many products, some worked for a little while, some even make my skin worst! but this works the best so far!

Yuan soap and this spot treatment were the main products that helped me to get rid of my horrible acnes!

 

It does not make my skin dry so I can actually apply this right before my makeup and it wont cause any effect such as cakey or makeup doesn't stick on to my skin. It absorbs super quick!

*oh, don't use cotton swabs to apply this, use your clean fingertip or else you'll waste the product!*

 

Ingredients:

Active Ingredient: Salicylic Acid (0.75%) Inactive Ingredients: alcohol denat., citrus medica limonum (lemon) peel oil, water, calendula officinalis flower extract, achillea millefolium (yarrow) extract, borago officinalis (borage) extractcarum petroselinum (parsley) extract, foeniculum vulgare (fennel) fruit oil, salix nigra (willow) bark extract, melaleuca alternifolia (tea tree) leaf oil, eucalyptus globulus leaf oil, juniperus communis fruit oil.

 

Price: RM78 at Burt's Bee store (Price might be different at Sephora, I bought it at RM69 but not sure if they increased the price recently because Burt's Bee store increased the price to RM78 from RM68)

 

Repurchase? Definitely!!! 5STARS for this!

Yuan Soap review - Lemon

YUP YUP YUP~ another Yuan Soap review! haha :D

 

This is actually a repurchase. I finished the 1st one and it's soooo good that I have to repurchase this! 
I finished it during my exam week, it took me 2 weeks to go to the mall(I bought this at midvalley) to repurchase it, had breakouts without this :'(

So, lets get in to the topic!

Lemon soap is for oily skin with large pores.
what it claimed
- brightens skin by removing old/dead skin cells
- tightens pores
- lightens pigmentation
- control sebum production

well... it does what it claimed! or else I wouldn't get another one XD
I noticed that it brightens my skin and my acne scars are less visible now. I have large and clogged pores especially at my nose and cheeks area (I believed that a lot of people are having the same problems), I noticed that my skin is getting better.

However, I don't recommend this to acne skin, but if you have acne-prone skin (like me), maybe you can give it a try :) Because you might want to solve your acne problem first then only you switch to this, just like I did. Normally I will change my skincare when my skin's condition changed.

I also don't recommend this to dry skin.

This soap will be great for people that stay in hot and humid places and need a refreshing soap (like me, in Malaysia =.= HOT! HOT! HOT! )
