Beauty Empties 18.0 | September

Here are the products I've emptied throughout the past 3 months! Woohoo! You guys know what this mean, right? More room for new products but starting this month, I'm actually on low-buy probably until November because I do want to see what's in-store for the upcoming Year-End Sale. For now, let's go over these products that I've finished and I'll let you know whether I'd be repurchasing them (which means love 'em, need 'em) or tossing them out into the real bin. Let's get into it!

For cleansers, I am done with the Aritaum Apricot Seed Deep Cleansing Oil that I've got last year from Hermo. As much as I like its scent, I used this a lot to clean my air puffs instead of using it as first cleanser. This is a limited edition product and this brand is longer carried by the store. 

As for the two COSRX cleansers; Salicylic Acid Exfoliating Cleanser is a great second cleanser for my evening routine as it deeply cleansed my skin and I don't see excess dirt on my cotton pads whenever I'm using this particularly on days I'm wearing cushion foundation. Yes, will repurchase although not anytime soon as I still have other deep cleansing foams in my stash. I've been loving the Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser so much; I've finished this second tube and already bought my backup for it. It's gentle and doesn't dry out hence a perfect morning cleanser.

I've finished another bottle of that THE FACE SHOP The Therapy First Serum; technically half of it as I gave this half of it (100ml) to my mum (yes, we both are currently using The Therapy skincare line) as we both are really enjoying the product. It deeply hydrates the skin and making it soft and supple to touch. Already bought my backup for it.

Next product would be the 3 Seconds Starter Vita Complex from Holika Holika that I've gotten from Althea around early last year. I've got to admit that this product was among few that I've managed to finish the fastest and that would be less than 3 months as I've started using it back in July (although I actually opened it in May) to accompany my sheet masking session. It doesn't really help with brightening but I just feel my skin is soft and plump as I alternate this skincare booster with the first treatment serum I've mentioned above. I still have other products to try so I won't be repurchasing this.

Finished the Camu Camu Moisture Cream from Brillar I think around August and I was actually quite surprised finding myself loving a moisture cream; thinking it'll be thick and sticky but I was wrong. It feels nice on the skin and absorbed quite well. Still, seeing this product is no longer available on Althea, I won't be repurchasing this product.

Done with the first tub of LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask! I love it as it does what it claims, my lips feeling soft and supply the next morning and I surely regret the night I didn't apply before going to sleep. Already purchased my backup in Vanilla!

I'm sure that tub of COSRX One-Step Original Clear Pads will be the first of many repurchase in the future. Well, I already bought one together with its One-Step Moisture Up Pads sister. It works nicely as exfoliating toner and I've been using it a lot for midday routine where I remove my makeup, cleanse and use it as toner before doing my sheet mask. Love it!

Finally done with that Scrub 'Em and Leave 'Em body scrub from Soap & Glory together with its travel-sized version. I do like them especially for its scent and it does make my body feels smoother after using but I'm now off to try other products so not going to repurchase at least for now.

That cute Cotton Flower Bubble bath and Shower Gel from Sephora Collection is totally nice but they no longer carry this and revamped their whole Sephora Collection already so I guess I'll be getting the new ones to try.

Last but not least, I've finished another bottle of this Vanilla Eau de Toilette from The Body Shop. I actually been using this EDT for years; way before starting this blog actually so I sort of lost track to how many bottles that I've finished. It's lovely, definitely to my liking and yes, I'm sure I'll be repurchasing this.

I guess that's all for now! I sure hope you guys are enjoying posts like this and now, I'm off to throw out these emptied bottles of products so I'll be seeing you guys on my next post. Annyeong~

Blogger Mail | YADAH Oh My Sun Protection Milk SPF50+ PA++++

Sunscreen or sunblock being the last step of my morning skin care routine prior makeup or not is the most vital step for skin protection against the sun rays and no matter how simple or complicated your AM skin care routine is, all your efforts will go down the drain if you do not incorporate suitable sunscreen in it. Therefore, when it comes to sunscreen, I have several criteria I want my ideal product to fill in. It has to be comfortable on my skin, suits our all year round hot and humid weather, it doesn’t leave white cast so much it’s turning me to a white ghost and most importantly, it is easy to reapply throughout the day.

Yadah Oh My Sun Protection Milk Sunscreen SPF50+ PA++++

Product Description:

• UV Protection + brightening double functional cosmetic 
• 100% inorganic sun filter screen that reflects ultraviolet rays without being absorbed by the skin.
• Low-irritation product with skin-safe prescription using only EWG green grade ingredients.
• Contains extract of Opuntia Coccinellifera Fruit effective for skin soothing and moisturising.
• Skin irritation test completed. How to Use: After cleansing, take the proper amount of the product at the last stage of skin care and spread it evenly on skin that is prone to exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays such as face, neck, arms and legs. 

Ingredients:

Water, Cyclomethicone, Zinc Oxide, Propanediol, Titanium Dioxide (Cl 77891), Dicaprylyl Carbonate, Polygryceryl-3 Polydimethylsiloxyethyl Dimethicone, Niacinamide, Caprylyl Methicone, Butylene Glycol, Cetyl Ethylhexanoate, 1,2-Hexanediol, Magnesium Sulfate, Disteardimonium Hectorite, Salvia Hispanica Seed Extract, Centella Asiatica Extract, Houttuynia Cordata Extract, Hydrogen Dimethicone, Aluminium Hydroxide, C30-45 Alkyl Cetearyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Polyglyceryl-2 Dipolyhydroxystearate, Stearic Acid, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil, Fructooligosaccharides, Saccharide Hydrolysate, Pullulan, Opuntia Coccinellifera Fruit Extract, Ethylhexylglycerin, Octyldodecanol, Adenosine, Echium Plantagineum Seed Oil, Cardiospermum Halicacabum Flower/Leaf/Vine Extract, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil Unsaponifiables, Tocopherol.

Ingredients Highlight: 

Contains mineral ingredients; titanium dioxide and zinc oxide that work by sitting on top of the skin to deflect and scatter UV rays away from the skin.

Other notable ingredients:

• Salvia Hispanica Seed Extract and Opuntia Coccinellifera Fruit Extract are known as moisturizing factors
• Centella Asiatica Extract is for skin calming and texture smoothening
• Houttuynia Cordata (Chameleon Plant) Extract removes dirt and toxin.
• Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil is known for its skin calming and moisturizing properties
• Echium Plantagineum Seed Oil is for nutritional and skin conditioning
• Cardiospermum Halicacabum (Balloon Plant) Flower/Leaf/Vine Extract is for skin slimming and conditioning. 

This sunscreen is 8-free; Paraben, Benzophenone, Talc, Mineral Oil, Sulfate Surfactant, Propylene Glycol, Tar Colorant, Triethanolamine. 

Now, let's go to the packaging:

There's a whole English product description at the back of the box for our convenience.

I’m digging that minimalist style bottle; white and green colours with that cute cactus plant illustration signifying the featured ingredient which is Opuntia Coccinellifera Fruit Extract i.e. prickly pear; a type of cactus.

There's the expiry dates printed at the back of the box and bottom of the bottle as well for easy reference.

Application: 

 

Thanks to its creamy texture, this physical sunscreen spreads out nice an even on my skin. I always use cushion air puff to apply this sunscreen as it helps with the even application and I'm a huge fan of the light and matte finish that it provides.

Even with simple skincare routine, this sunscreen works greatly in terms of protection (high SPF and PA++++!) and such a bonus to me that it gives off a slight brightened up complexion that looks natural even with just translucent powder on top; a mattifying look that last from morning till evening during office hours and I don't even have to blot my T- zone midday!

I actually use this sunscreen on days my skin becomes sensitive, dry and irritated due to allergic reactions but it was such a relief when it actually gives me soothing effect and enough moisture though I was still in #teamdoublefisting with soothing and hydrating sheet masks on those days. 

Overall, 5/5. I love it! I'm not exaggerating but this one ticks all the boxes for my ideal sunscreen enough for me to buy its Tone-Up sister. Definitely recommend this for normal to oily skin people like me and for those with dry skin, I'd suggest to use suitable moisturiser prior application. 

Thank you so much to Yadah Malaysia for sending me the PR kit for me to try your latest sunscreen and as for you guys, this sunscreen is available for purchase on GlamPick, Hermo and Watsons at RM78 for this 50ml size and RM138 for 100ml size.


I guess that's all if it! I'll see you guys on my next post! Annyeong~

Review | Althea X Get It Beauty Real Fresh Skin Detoxer in Green Tea and Rose

When I got these two products from Althea as part of their Althea Angels Welcome Kit, I opened them right away as I was very excited to try them because of two things; Green Tea and Rose are both my favourites when it comes to ingredients for my special care products like sheet masks and wash-off masks. The second reason would be this is the first time I'm trying this kind of product! I've tried oil-to-foam cleanser before and that's surprisingly very convenient although I just can't change my double cleansing method but mask-to-cleanser can be a game changer in my skincare routines.

But first, let's go into details of these new products from Althea!

"Naturally fresh, premium ingredients for modern urbanites."

Althea Real Fresh Skin Detoxer are created to suit the hectic schedules of modern urbanites, this product harnesses the goodness of nature and translates that into freshness and vitality for the skin.

Made with premium ingredients sourced from various parts of the world, this 10-second mask is filled with the vitality and freshness from nature to ensure your skin stays healthy and clean everyday.


Althea Real Fresh Skin Detoxer Rose (Refining):  Recommended for morning routine

• A skin refining recipe made with roses to detox, gently smooth away roughness and give the skin a radiant glow.
• Use in the morning to help to balance the skin's natural pH levels and protect it, evening out the skin's texture for perfect makeup application.

Ingredients:

Water, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Disodium Cocoamphodiacetate, Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate, Acrylates Copolymer, Peg-7 Glyceryl Cocoate, Glycerin, Pentylene Glycol, Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Extract, Pteris Multifida Extract, Cynara Scolymus (Artichoke) Leaf Extract, Ulmus Davidiana Root Extract, Amaranthus Caudatus Seed Extract, Rosa Centifolia Flower Water, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Rosa Gallica Flower Powder, Methylpropanediol, Butylene Glycol, Polyquaternium-51, Beta-Glucan, Betaine, Fragrance, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin, 1,2-Hexanediol

Althea Real Fresh Skin Detoxer Green Tea (Purifying): Recommended for night routine

• A skin-purifying recipe made with green tea to detox , soothe and nourish sensitive skin. 
• This product boosts the skin's natural regeneration process at night when the skin cells are most active by ensuring the skin is clarified and ready to rest.

Ingredients:

Water, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Disodium Cocoamphodiacetate, Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate, Acrylates Copolymer, Peg-7 Glyceryl Cocoate, Glycerin, Pentylene Glycol, Piper Methysticum Leaf/Root/Stem Extract, Melia Azadirachta Leaf Extract, Phellodendron Amurense Bark Extract, Melia Azadirachta Flower Extract, Coccinia Indica Fruit Extract, Solanum Melongena (Eggplant) Fruit Extract, Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Extract, Pteris Multifida Extract, Cynara Scolymus (Artichoke) Leaf Extract, Aloe Barbadensis Flower Extract, Ocimum Sanctum Leaf Extract, Ulmus Davidiana Root Extract, Amaranthus Caudatus Seed Extract, Curcuma Longa (Turmeric) Root Extract, Corallina Officinalis Extract, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Powder, Methylpropanediol, Butylene Glycol, Polyquaternium-51, Beta-Glucan, Betaine, Fragrance, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin, 1,2-Hexanediol

Now, let's talk about the packaging!

The products came within these boxes. The design is minimalistic with merely wordings for the products' names and the main ingredients' illustrations on the side. If you've noticed, there's the Get It Beauty logo at lower part of the box I'm guessing to indicate that these two products are indeed collaboration between the brand and the beauty TV show.

If you're still confused on what category these product fall on, they're actually wash-off masks, recommended to be used for 10 seconds after first oil-based cleanser (for double cleansing method) on daily basis.

At the back of the boxes are the product descriptions in Korean but rest assured, you can get all the information you need here. Unless of course, if you can read and understand Hangeul  that is. (>.<)

On the side of the box there's a note regarding the natural real rose and green tea leaves contained in the products so don't freak out if it's starting to change in its colour although I haven't seen it yet either. 

The products came in almost transparent tubes which is again, something I'd appreciate as I'm tired of putting those products in tubes that I have in my stash behind the light just to really see how much of product left inside. I also am digging the part where they've provided a space at the back of the tube for me to properly write the opened date for these products.

Like most Korean products, these tubes products have seal stickers at the opening. Oh, you can check the expiration dates at the top of the tube. Such a great movement in Korean skincare manufacturing industries I'd say as it's really nice to know when the products are going to expire instead of counting the months and the years from the manufacturing dates printed on products back in 2015. The format is YYYYMMDD.

Now, let's go to each of the product.

ALTHEA REAL FRESH SKIN DETOXER ROSE

I was catching up with previous episodes of Get It Beauty on iFlix few weeks ago; there's one episode where the participants of the show known as Better Girls were comprising of foreigners that currently residing in Seoul being invited to the show. I recalled there's part of the program where the hosts revealed some beauty products that they discovered during their overseas trips; host Lee Honey brought her self-made perfume while she was visiting Grasse, France and guess where one of these two's main ingredient sourced from? Grasse, France; the world's capital of perfume, indeed.

The consistency for both of these products is similar; thick gel, run slightly and this being the Rose variant is containing rose petals in it. The scent is of course filled with rose scents but it does smell like chemical although slightly.

When it comes to application, I've noticed that Althea recommends for Rose to be used in the morning to refine the skin texture and promote smooth skin texture. I have to agree that this mask-to-foam product does give me that especially when I have flaky skin around my jawline area thanks to multiple allergic reactions I've been having for the past month or so (no worries, I'm consuming lots of veggies these days) and as I've been using this product every other day for more than 3 weeks with use no physical scrubs in my routines as I'm afraid it might be too harsh for my skin' the same goes to my Clarisonic brush, I've seen improvement as the area is very much smooth.

ALTHEA REAL FRESH SKIN DETOXER GREEN TEA

The Green Tea variant is an absolute delight for my skin as it cleanses deeply; I see no dead skin cells whenever I tone my skin after using it in my evening routine. The scent is so nice and therapeutic within the short seconds while applying this on. 

Although I have to let you guys know that around the second week of using this, I applied this on for a little bit longer than I should and with my jawline being sensitive and all at that point, the whole area went overly dried and worst than allergic reaction aftereffect, I cried. I guess the formula is indeed intense hence only 10 seconds recommended for it to work well on your skin so I'd suggest for you to follow the instructions well before using.

Overall, I would say that these two products work well and if you're like me who are busy and got not much time to do physical scrubs, do wash-off masks like 3 times a week; the whole nine, I'd definitely recommend these products maybe for daily use, or every other day you can build up the frequency according to your skin concerns. 

You can purchase these separately with individual price of RM43 or in a set with 10% discount (no code necessary) with both variants. If you're new to Althea and planning to purchase more than RM150, use my link (click here!) for 20% discount! 

So I guess that's all from me! If you have already got these products, do let me know what your thoughts on them by leaving comments down below.

Beauty Talks | Kick Off of My Round 13.0 Skincare Products

August marks the final month for my Round 12 of skincare products and as you can see from the above #shelfie,  I've got a cleanser from Round 11 (which ended in February) and this round's cleansing foams, waters and balms with new additions from Blogger Mails last month. 

For Round 12.0, I've managed to finish a toner, 2 bottles of first serums, 2 bottles of essences, and 3 tubs of sleeping masks along with almost 100 sheet masks. I'd definitely be posting an Empties post soon so do stay tuned for that, okay!

For this upcoming Round 13.0 which starting next month, I'll be introducing some new oil-based cleansers, water-based-cleansers, moisturisers, tone-up creams, lots of sunscreens, and the most that I've anticipated for 2018; new exfoliating and hydrating toners (you need both if you want to start incorporating acids in your skincare routine) which will be part of my 7-Skin Methods. I haven't decided whether it'll be seven different toners or maximum 4 toners, let's just wait and see for now. 

As for body care, I literally haven't shopped for anything for the past 3 months or so as I've bought so much back in May to June as there was the Harvest Festival Sale literally in every mall at that time so I'm going to shop my stash till I ran out of everything. 

So I guess that's a quick update on my current skincare stash! Do you use the same skincare products all year round or are you like me who change certain number of products on a 6-month cycle? Do let me know by leaving comments down below.

Until next post, annyeong~

P.S.: How are you liking my new blog header?

Blogger Mail | Althea Angels Beauty Ambassador Welcome Kit

Blogging and engaging on social media can be interesting and fulfilling especially for those people who are like me; having small circle of friends in real life (which I appreciate and love) and maintaining (read: struggling) a well-balanced life between work and family. Most of my friends and colleagues have no interest in skincare or makeup so I opened a second Instagram account just for my passion towards K-Beauty as I don't want to appear bit more obvious than I am on regular days where I reapply my sunscreens before lunch and use sheet mask while sipping on iced tea in the break room when I'm too lazy to go out during early evening.

Up until 2016, I was all about writing reviews on my blog and posted on Instagram like once or twice a month. You probably noticed that there aren't lots of comments here in my blog and I haven't got much of engagement here because I just changed my domain back in March hence previous comments are all gone but actually, people like to engage more on social media these days, I think?  Anyway, while I was trying to figure out my next step for this blog, I was invited to be part of Malaysian-based Beauty Community around early 2017 and we went by #myabcommunity on Instagram. I was all aboard with the idea of engaging with other Malaysian-based beauty enthusiasts as I’ve got the opportunity to meet new friends on social media (not just Instagram) and as it turned out, we’ve become friends in real life as well so at that point, I’ve realised that things will be much more interesting from that moment on. 

Now, to be part of Althea’s Beauty Ambassador Community is something I’m grateful for as I get to enjoy lots of perks like getting more products to try and review, discount codes for my followers and readers, better opportunities in terms of brand awareness, attending events; all in the hope to grow of becoming an influencer. Before we go into details of items included in the Welcome Kit that arrived last week, can we take some time to appreciate the cuteness of this special Althea Box?

The size of this Althea Box is the same as their regular Medium Box and comes with that ANGEL logo at top right corner with Althea Angels wording at the lower half of the box continuing onto the front lid area. The box is in that cute pastel pink and I like it very much as the design is unique among its sisters.

ALTHEA ANGEL BEAUTY AMBASSADOR WELCOME KIT

So what's included in the kit?

• Welcome Message from the Head of Social Media of Althea
• Althea Angels official merchandise; the “Spread Your Wings” beauty hand mirror and makeup bag
• Althea Turns 3 Canvas Tote Bag along with the Birthday Book miniatures
• Althea X Get It Beauty Real Fresh Skin Detoxer in Green Tea and Rose

Overall, I’m loving this kit! It’s so cute and befit the whole concept of this Beauty Ambassador Community Program. I also have started on using the two products from Althea’s latest collaboration with that top beauty program in South Korea so do stay tuned for my upcoming reviews on them. ​

Before I forgot, here's a discount code for you on your next purchase! Valid till September 30, 2018!

I guess that's all from me! I'll see you guys on my next post! Annyeong~

Mask Review | HELLOSKIN Jumiso Water-Splash Mask

I've been so busy especially the past few weeks and I'm so sad as I couldn't finish my January sheet mask challenge even though I've gone through so much finding the required sheet masks to befit the theme of the day and curating the products that work with the sheet mask itself.

Description:

• The cupra sheet is made of 100% mildest cotton yarn
• The marine plants enhance moisturising effect on the skin
• Contains shea butter to prevent the moisture from being evaporated effectively, the Phytex G Lotus Al; the patented ingredient extracted from lotus that soothes the skin, ceramide complex that similar to the skin lipids which help strengthening skin elasticity, and 3 Hyaluronate Complex; 3 kinds/sizes of Hyaluronic Acids that enhances the moistuirising effect both on the surface and deep layers of the skin

Ingredients list:

Water, Glycerin, Methylpropanediol, Beta-Glucan, Betaine, Xylitylglucoside, Anhydroxylitol, Xylitol, Nelumbo Nucifera Root Extract, Laminaria Japonica Extract, Algae extract, Macrocystis Pyrifera Extract, Enteromorpha Compressa Extract, Sargassum Fulvellum Extract, Spirulina Platensis Extract, Niacinamide, Calcium Pantothenate, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Pyridoxine Hcl, Maldotexrine, Silica, Sodium Starch Octenylsuccinate, Ceramide NP, Ceramide NS, Triethylhexanoin, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), Butylene Glycol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Sodium Hyaluronate, Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Xanthan Gum, Polyglyceryl-10 Decaoleate, Carbomer, Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract, Ethylhexylglycerin, Glyceryl Caprylate, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Caffeine, PEG-32, Panthenol, Allantoin, Dehydroacetic Acid, Arginine, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Fragrance, Chlorphenesin, Disodium EDTA.

Usage time || 10 to 20 minutes

Impression || I super love the sheet for this mask! It’s super thin my skin feels like almost naked! It adheres to the curve of my facial area so well too! I walked around with the mask on and it didn’t even slide down a bit. Took it off at 20 minutes mark and the sheet was still wet with essence.

The essence is actually quite thick and ampoule-like. The scent is quite strong so if you don’t like fragrance do stay away from this one

My thoughts || I’ve been busy, my skin is feeling really dry as all I’ve been doing was deep cleansing, toning and sleeping masks right after but still lacking in the moisture department. Hence this mask to the rescue! 

I gotta say that the sheet mask is definitely great for those with really dry skin as it took my normal to oily skin 45 minutes for the ampoule of the mask to really absorbed well into my dry cheek area and I’m still feeling sticky on my T-zone area. I was so relieved that I didn't break out in the morning. 

Overall, 4/5. All thanks to the sheet and how well hydrated (triple HA, people!) I’m feeling right now. I'm pretty sure I won't be opting for this on regular basis as it's too intense for my oily area. 

You can purchase this from Althea Korea at retail price of RM12 each but of course right now it's on discount price of RM7.

I'll see you guys next time! Annyeong~

MBD Style | Everyday Women’s Fashion Essentials

You simply can’t get around it, there are some items you must have in your wardrobe that you can throw on at any time. The right pair of jeans, tees, flats, heels, pumps and the right accessories that can really set you apart when you are in a crowd. These are some fashion essentials every woman should own.

Clutch purse. Charles & Keith

It is light, it is small and it can accessorise any outfit. A pixie dress or sundress, a pair of skinny jeans, a formal blazer/coat you’re wearing to work, all go perfectly with that clutch. If you’re just going out on the town it won’t weigh you down like those other huge purses you have in the closet. If you would like to purchase some fashion essentials then I would recommend visiting a credit clothing catalogue.

Skinny jeans and white top. D S L T D

Skinny jeans go well with anything, in fact for most women it is the ‘go-to’ outfit when you are in a rush. It looks good, you dress well in them and you feel comfortable. The right ‘white’ tee/tank/blouse, is also a must-have item. You can dress it up with a colourful jacket, keep it simple with flats or accessorise as you deem fit with other colours/patterns, based on the occasion. With this pairing, it is truly up to you how fancy or formal you are going to keep it. Do you know that petite modelling agencies don't require high heels during castings? Embrace your height, wear your skinny jeans and white blouse proudly!

Earrings and necklaces. Hijabiworld.

It doesn’t have to be flashy or stand out. It’s very handy to have a pair of earrings you can throw on with any outfit, and a necklace that accentuates your outfits. Sometimes, it is all that’s needed to really set you apart from someone wearing a similar outfit.

Every woman knows the right essentials go a long way in helping you stand out in a crowd and truly looking your best no matter where you are going or what you are doing. These are a few essential items for every closet no matter what time of year. You can put them on and feel confident.

I guess that's all for #myrabeautydiarystyle this week, I'll see you guys on my next post!
