Review: Skin care products

Ok..This post is mostly on product review. I had many skin care products actually. Haha..I'm not rich..but all these can be bought in the local pharmacies. Well most of the products I'm going to review have been used for quite some time. Some is finishing already..Straight to the point k? I did some short review of those products I've used but this time I wanna do a longer review of it with the purpose to inform people more about certain products I'm using. I go by the sequence of my skin care routine k?


1. Cleanser: Neoderma Liquid Soap
Brief intro:
This cleanser is made in Cyprus and it is best for combination to oily skin which I am having now. Meaning this cleanser is best for those with acne-prone skin.

Product and packaging:
This cleanser has a very handy bottle and it comes with pump and plastic cover which means it has hygienic packaging. The cleanser liquid is light brownish colour and it's a clear liquid soap. It has pleasant smell and when used with some water, it will lathers up into foam very easily and deeply cleanses the skin.

My try with product: I love this cleanser actually. It really cleanses my skin deeply and after dabbing my skin dry, the skin is squeaky clean...like hard-boiled egg after removed its shell..=)

Price: ~RM70++ (forgotten how much I got this from my beautician)


2. Exfoliator: St. Ives Apricot Scrub

Brief info: This scrub contains many apricot beads to gently exfoliate the skin.

Product and packaging:
This scrub packed in a squeezable tube and it is quite large tube, 170g which will last for quite some time since I will exfoliate only few times a week (not daily as it will thin out the skin fast and remember to be gentle while exfoliate ur skin). The product is in a quite thick consistency and it smells great!

My try with the product:
This is one of the best scrub I've used and I recommended to my friend as well. It's cheap and last for a very long time.. After using this, my skin will be so so so smooth. Seriously, this is great to use few times a week to remove the dead skin cells to promote skin regeneration.

Price: ~RM14++


3. Toner: Neutrogena Hydro Boost Clear Lotion

Brief info: This lotion is actually a toner in simple word. This toner has the function to hydrate the skin and prep the skin for deeper moisturizing effects from essence and moisturizer. It has progressive releasing system to promote hydration of the skin.

Product and packaging:
This toner has a very pretty packaging and bottle. It's a blue bottle in 150ml and it come with a simple turn cover and the toner smells a bit strong for me..But the scent is nice though.

My try with the product:
I just used this toner for twice actually. Haha..but I already love it. I love the feeling after applying this toner. It makes my skin softer and hydrated. It makes my skin light as well

Price: RM25++
4. Moisturizer: Garnier Aqua Defense Moisturizing Cream
Brief info: This product is made my fruits water like apple and it functions to moisturize the skin to keep it hydrated

Product and packaging:
This cream comes in a small tub made of glass and it has a lid to cover the opening before closed by the plastic cover. The product is light green in colour and smells so nice. Fruity smell I should say..=)

My try with the product:
This moisturizer so far is my favourite. I use it daily and everytime after I bathe so to keep my skin hydrated. I love the scent. It's not sticky and it's very easy to be absorbed into the skin, making the skin smoother and softer afterwards.

Price: <>

5. Mask: Himalaya Mud Pack
Brief info: This mask is a mud mask with Walnut to gently exfoliate the skin during rinsing. Mud mask functions to dry out excess sebum, dirt and impurities from the skin, cleansing the pores and to control sebum production. It's best for oily skin

Product and packaging:
Like other mask packaging, this mask comes in 150ml and last for so long. It is a squeezable tube with tight cover. The mask is brown colour and dries off fast. It is very thick consistency as well

My try with the product:
This is I seldom use but lately, I've been using it few times a week. I feel it reali cleanses my pores and skin. It's a mud mask anyway, acting like a magnet drawing out dirt and impurities. I love this now! It dries out fast which makes me feel like having a face-lift.

Price: ~RM24++

6. Mask: Freeman Facial Clay Mask

Brief info: This mask made from avocado and oatmeal extracts. Functions to cleanse the face revealing softer and healthier skin

Product and packaging:
This is also a 150ml squeezable tube product. The mask smells great and it's blueish green in colour. The mask is easily to be applied and the tube is very handy and hygienic as it had a tight cover

My try with the product:
This mask is like a cleansing mask as well and I love this feeling after rinsing it off. However, I guess this is too strong for my skin if I'm having any scars or open small 'wounds' after my pimples being squeezed. =P..The product will give a tingling sensation at the area..feeling like stinging sensation there. Too harsh I guess...but if there's no pimples or wounds, it will do a great job to the skin...I love this mask as well coz after using it, the skin is like baby' skin..

Price: ~ RM18++

Here's my PDT test dry run...My devilled egg and chicken vindaloo....Hehe..the verdict??? Scroll down...
.

.

According to my baby boy JC: The egg tastes sour and it will increase appetite..


Baby boy also said that this chicken is good, but for indian it may not be spicy enough as the chicken is not fully spicy. However the sauce or curry is quite spicy..Hemmm...how to make the the chicken taste better?? I wonder...


Strawberry delight

Lately I've been loving strawberry so much. Last 2 days I bought this strawberry pack from Carrefour and it was so huge and red. It tastes sweet as well, so different from the previous pack I got there by different company. And I notice there is one strawberry with a Heart shape...so cute!

I made my strawberry yogurt mask...And this is the best homemade mask I made after the Outmeal yogurt mask. I apply this mask daily and seriously my skin problem has improved lots. The great remedies are from Bubzbeauty, great thanks to her my skin has improved so much...so smooth now with less breakout!

I know the mask looks like disgusting paste but believe me it's very nourishing for our delicate skin! I truly love this masque...the oatmeal yogurt mask is great as well..Believe me both mask can be used on daily basis as they both contain natural ingredients and will not be harsh for our skin, unless u hav allergy with any one the ingredients in the mask recipe...


I hav this cute strawberry hair band as well...cute thing and I use it to tie up my longer hair now..it hav grown longer and messy now..so I tie it up with this cute, red hair band!

My life study life in UKM

Close my eyes....and open them....now..I've finished my 3rd year first sem already...I can't believe that my semester has finished and after my PDT lab test on monday I'll be free until Dec for the new semester. Coming semester will be seriously busy =.='' Sad as this time the sem break is super short... I guess my parents will be longing for my return.


Let's flash back together with me back to my first year in UKM...

[If I remember clearly, then more things canbe written here XD]


Okie....Let's see...I remembered clearly that after my matriculation and when I was going to fill in the Uni intake form, I didn't put dietetic, UKM KL as my first choice. I used to put Pharmacy, USM Penang. Just a day before the application closed, I changed my choice to UKM and Dietetic course. Seriously now thinking back I got no idea why I did that. I thought Diet may be a very good profession. Sometimes when I can't go on with my studies or my life here I did think back why I pick this course?? It's not relatedto my interest at all.. Seriously it never does. I love MATHS so so so much. My school teacher asked me why I picked something that is not my expertise? I used to be the top in the school and my Maths and Add Maths always over 90% and there was once my Add Maths was 100% and it was the first exam in Form 4. Ever since I
was named Maths Devil...now I got no idea why I left that great interest and skills in me!...swt! Forget it...now I've reached 3rd year...I can't turn back anymore, I've wasted many time to start over again rite?


I remembered clearly the first week during orientation week was at Bangi UKM. After my mum and bf went back I felt so so so lonely as my close friends during Matriculation totally separated. I was the only one there. That first week was very sad to me. I was alone all the time never get to talk to anyone and the first person I talked to was my coursemate, Verona. =) Then after the first week we will move back to KL campus and that was then I got to know my roommate, Keh Len, Jeremy and William and Siu Ni. Too bad Siu Ni has left UKM for her Dentistry degree in Aimst. We used to jog together around the Titiwangsa lake. I joined debate in my first year but I was so freaking stressed back then so I quit after the first tournament [VC cup]

My first year was a very memorable time for me as it was the time where I got to mix around and adapt to the environment there. I got to a few close friends and we always had a good time together because we all sit together in the class and go for activities together. But first year was a very tough time for me..I remember there were times where tears just flow down from my eyes in the lectures..I had a tough time understanding the lessons and going through exam. I just feel relieved that now as time goes on, I begin to accept everything as it comes and doesn't expect so much...First year more towards to studies and making friends and enjoy life..like what my senior always said that time...

" Enjor first year as much as you can..as time goes on, you will regret that you didn't enjoy to the max during first year.."




Second year was great although it did make us all crazy due to the assignments and lab as well as Food service assignment.. We had very tough time back then but the time I loved most was during lab and also food service...Keh Len and Jeremy if u guys are reading this...remember how we make the 'Snake' till dream also will know the action of doing it??? I miss that time so so much!



Second year really gave me a lot of sweet memories and good times...I feel happy to have u guys to be my best pal in uni...

I'll update on 3rd year after I've finished my 2nd sem ya! To my best pals...Keh Len, Jeremy n William, TQ for everything. I cherish our friendship a lot...
