Feed Your Skin: Perfect Pore Cleansing Oil #LANEIGE

Image
 We all know that double cleansing is very important especially when we apply heavy make up. I use this as my night time routine. Even if I don't use make-up, I will still use this cleansing oil. I like the packaging of this product as it is a 'twist to pump' thing so you won't spill it (if you're clumsy like me).  Two to three pumps is sufficient enough to cover your whole face and neck. Massage for about 1-2 minutes using this oil. After that, wet your palms a bit and start massaging for about 1 minute and then wash if off. My face looks and feels so clean after using this. It also makes my skin soft. One bottle can last you quite some time. It is worth the purchase and definitely a repurchase for me!

Feed Your Skin: Jeju Cherry Blossom Jelly Cream #INNISFREE

Image
I had received this as a trial kit from Innisfree. They were giving away these to their VIP customers :-) I started using this jelly cream as my night cream. I like how it feels and absorbs into my skin.  It's a gel texture type and it does not make my skin sticky. It's perfect for people like me, who does not like that greasy feeling. It has a cooling and lightweight texture that creates a dewy, glowing complexion. It's perfect for anyone who's still finding for a perfect face cream. I have my favourite regular one, so to be honest this wasn't too outstanding for me.  However, it suited me well but since I have my regular face cream, i would not purchase this.

Feed Your Skin: Yehwadam Pure Brightening Toner #THEFACESHOP

Image
Yehwadam  Pure Brightening  Toner  i s an anti-aging toner that refreshes the skin while providing skin radiance after cleansing. It is very important to include toners in your skin care routine. Toners will replenish your skin moisture that has been lost and prepares your skin for the next product application, serum normally. But if you are using Innisfree's Green Tea Serum, it should be applied before your toner.  The texture of this toner  is not as liquid-y as water, but it absorbs quickly into the skin  and can be used on a cotton pad. I t refreshes my skin without leaving any sticky or tingling sensation. It absorbs right into my skin as the moment I applied it on my skin. However, i did not find it very outstanding for that price. I bought another toner from Innisfree as soon as i finished this. And that's been my regular ever since! 

Feed Your Skin: Organic Aloe vera Gel #AUFAIRY

Image
This gel was given to me as a gift. It claims to be 100% organic gel. The moment you open the packaging, you can smell a very strong aloe vera smell. This itself indicates that it is pure aloe vera gel. The gel smells so nice that you'll love applying it all over your body. (Haha!). I normally use this gel at night and especially after waxing to soothe my skin. It absorbs into skin skin so well and makes my skin looks so smooth. I mainly use this on my legs and arms. Occasionally, on my face as a sleeping mask (i do this post facial and threading to soothe my skin and the redness).  This gel is definitely worth it and it a repurchase for me! :-) 

Feed Your Skin: Skin Clinic Vita C #INNISFREE

Image
This is my 'to go' mask on my dull skin days. Yes, you skin has its own mood swings as well. It can get really dull on certain days and this mask is just perfect for those days! As usual, I will leave this mask on for about 15 minutes. It absorbs well into your skin and as you remove them, you will notice an instant glow on your skin. It also a mask to use for 'pre' important functions. I have purchased this mask so many times and will keep on purchasing them in future :-)

Feed Your Skin: Facial Treatment Essence #SK-ii

Image
I was a little hesitant to purchase this because of the price. but after using it i understand why it's this pricey!  I have used few small bottles (10ml) and in the midst of one 75ML bottle. I have more than half a bottle left and i used it daily (night time).  I am very stingy with my usage, i use only 2 to 3 drops which is sufficient enough to cover my whole face and neck. I prefer to use my palm to apply it rather than a facial cotton. I feel i am wasting the essence if i use a facial cotton and i need to apply more drops onto it to cover my whole face. My skin felt very radiant and clear but i saw a difference after a few and consistent usage. I wake up to a glow-y and clear skin. It also makes my skin look smooth and soft. So the key is consistent here! SK-11's formulation is a lightweight liquid that quickly absorbs into the skin and each bottle contains 90% PITERA. I wish they sell it at a cheaper price but it's totally worth it. I have browsed through la...

Feed Your Skin: Jeju Pomegranate Revitalizing Capsule Cream #INNISFREE

Image
So, as i mentioned in one of my posts, i tried this cream and i am now on my second purchase! :-)  It's perfect for oily skin. It does not make your skin feel or look sticky. It is formulated with Jeju pomegranate juice and seed oil that delivers essential nutrients for your skin vitality. One pump is just enough to cover your whole face. Jeju Pomegranate Revitalizing Capsule Cream  is made of Jeju's Pomegranate grown through the use of pure water, clean air and natural fertiliser on the pristine Jeju Island.  The antioxidant concentration of the pomegranate seeds is 3.4 times more compared to its flesh, while the peel itself has 10.4 times more for effective anti-aging and brightening effects. I am definitely going to stick to this capsule cream as it suits my skin well and i like how the cream absorbs into my skin. Also, that glow you see when you wake up in the morning is pure joy! It is truly a youthful glow from within! It Retails at RM 110.00 ...

Feed Your Skin: Water Sleeping Mask #Laneige

Image
This mask deserves a 100/100 points. Kudos to the Korean team who came up with this mask. This a sleeping mask, you have to use this as your last step in your skin care regime and go to sleep. And tadaaa! you will wake up to a fresh, glowing and moisturize skin! It is little bit on the pricey side but it is totally worth it. It can last you up-to few months depending on how often you use it. It is recommended to use 2-3 times a week. I also normally use this mask when i have an important meeting or event the next day or when i feel my skin looks dull. It will make my make up application so easy.  I got the set with the lavender one and the firm sleeping mask. However, i don't like the lavender one. The difference is only the smell. I prefer the original scent. It feels go good.  Definitely a yes for repurchase! (For lifetime). This is a must skincare product for every girl :-) 

Make up #25 [Lips] : Sephora Cream Lip Stain in Red Dessert #97

Image
I used to hate matte lipsticks. I tried Huda Beauty and it made my lips very dry. I feel it cracked every time i have a meal and i have to constantly touch up. However, when i was in Melbourne, i walked into Sephora and instantly feel in love with shade. But as i have had an bad experience with matte lipsticks, i was skeptical if i should purchase this one. I gave in and decided to get this and another purple shade. This cream lip is just love! It does not crack or make my lips dry and it has a long stay power as well! Definitely a repurchase for me!

Feed Your Skin: Lip Sleeping Mask #LANEIGE

Image
After about 2 years into Korean skin care and routines, I realised that I was neglecting my lips. So I decided to give this Laneige Lip Sleeping mask a try after reading a number of reviews online. This is a lip sleeping mask hence you got to leave them overnight.  It comes colourless and you need a tiny amount to cover your lips. This bottle can probably last about half a year to a year. or even longer! Depends on your usage. I try my best to use it every night but at times I do feel like like skipping them (out of laziness). The Lip sleeping mask comes with a little applicator. It is like a balm effect. So you will not feel uncomfortable using this mask overnight. And trust me, you'll love how your lips look when you wake up in the morning. Your lips will feel plumply, pinkish and soft. It is a bit on the pricey side for a lip mask but it is totally worth it. This small bottle can last about 1 year and the results is so good as well. So Hell yes for a repurchase! P...

Feed Your Skin: Green Tea Cleansing Gel To Foam #INNISFREE

Image
This Gel to Foam Cleanser is a must to have to get rid of your heavy make up after a long day. I normally do not use foundation and concealers on a daily basis. I only use them whenever i have functions or important meetings to attend. Well, if your are into Korean skin care, you will know that double cleansing is very important. However, i still make it a point to double cleanse everyday. I apply little dots on my face and massage my face for about 2-3 minutes. And once i am done cleansing, my face looks so clear and bright. I could feel how smooth my skin is. It is easy to use when you wash it off, it does not have any residue. I have extremely oily skin and this cleanser does not make my skin feel greasy or sticky.  This is a must cleanser to have for all ladies. It will remove all your remaining make up and make your skin feel so clear. Definitely a repurchase from my side :-)

Make up #23 [LIPS]: MAYBELLINE PLUM PERFECTION

Image
Hi ladies, Sogo had a sale on Maybelline and L'oreal and as usual i was one of the hundreds or even thousands of them who went crazy. There were going on 40% sale!!!! I bought Plum perfection lip colour for about RM16.00++ ONLY. Normally it retails around RM 28-30++. So, i tried the tester there and felt in love with it. I mean how not to get kan? The colour suits my skin and i am absolutely in love with it. In fact i went again the next day to get another one because it was so cheap and i am a person who needs to leave my home with lipstick on. This colour was just on point. The only disadvantage about this lip colour is that when i twist it up and down, the sides of the lipstick gets scrapped along the cover because i think the gap between the lip stick and the cover is too close. It is so sayang to see your favourite lip get scrapped a little by little when ever you use them. Updated 19/05/20:  I bought a few of this and lately i realize that it makes my lips so dry....

Feed Your Skin: Skin Clinic BHA #Innisfree

Image
This Sheet mask is an anti pimple sheet mask. Hands down. Whenever i see any a pimple pop up on my face, i apply this sheet mask and the next day, the pimple reduces or it will just disappear!! (depends on the size of your pimples) When i suddenly get a lot pimples (usually during my period), i will wear this mask continuously for 2-3 days and on the fourth day my face will be pimple free. YAY! Pure love for those of you who want to get rid of those pimples. RM 7.50 This skin clinic range is double the price from the real squeeze range but it is totally worth it. Absorbs better and your skin does not feel oily. Purchased it so many times and will continue to purchase in future!

Make up #22 [Lips]: Lakme Enrich Satin Lipstick in M455

Image
Wanted to try different shades of Lakme and i found this while i was scrolling Lazada. Decided to purchase it. Somehow the look differs from what they showed in Lazada. I felt the shade was darker when i got them. However, i was not going to waste my money like that and decided to wear it to work and give it a try. To my surprise, my colleagues all said it was actually nice. It is something different that what i always use to work. I also did feel okay. It looks dark but it actually suited and gave me a different look. but i'll have to appy this colour lightly. Not few swipes darker like how i usually apply as this shade itself is already dark. It will not be a repurchase for me as i would like to get different shades in this range once this colour finishes. Place Bought: Lazada Price: RM 25.50

Feed Your Skin: Jeju Orchid Gel Cream #INNISFREE

Image
The thing about skincare is it's all about trial and error. I have oily skin and i am very careful with the products i use. I make sure i consult the consult-er on duty whenever i decide to try a new product for my skin.  For Innisfree, i have my regular consult-er who's now a very good friend of mine. So most of the times i just text her asking all my concerns. She suggested me to use the gel type since my skin is oily. I have tried the normal cream sample and it does feel greasy on my skin. It made my skin look oily-er.  This Jeju Orchid Gel Cream absorbs really fast into your skin and it does not make your skin greasy at all. It also makes your skin look moisture. This cream did not cause any breakouts. So, it did suit my skin. The thing about oily skin is, people think we can skip moisturizer. But NO! HELL NO! we cannot. It is very important to get a cream that suit your skin type.  I have finished this whole product and it did not cause any irritati...

Feed you skin: Skin Clinic Madecassoside #Innisfree

I am so glad that i tried this skin clinic range of sheet masks. There's no turning back to Innisfree's real squeeze mask hereafter. Yes, Skin clinic range is double the amount but it's totally worth it! This mask is 100% cotton and comes in a thin layer. It sits on my skin very well and i love how it makes my skin feel. I left the mask on for 20 minutes. The essence is transparent and it absorbs quickly. After removing the mask, the essence does not feel oily or sticky. As usual, i pat the remaining essence and withing 30 minutes all the essence absorbed into the skin. (A total win win for this)  And also, i could feel my skin so smooth and soft after about 30min-1 hour. Unlike the real squeeze range, my skin felt very oily and sticky after removing the mask. So definitely a YES for a repurchase.

Feed Your Skin: Jeju Sparkling Mineral Skin #INNISFREE

Image
I realize the importance toner quite late. All this while (before using innisfree products), face wash and moisturizer was my only skincare products. After researching about Korean skincare, i realize how important is that golden 10 step skincare regime. I admit, sometimes it gets into me that my 10 skincare steps can take me up to one hour to complete. (Not even Joking) This Jeju Sparkling Mineral skin is bae. I apply this after using my face wash and i love how it made my skin look. My skin feels so fresh and i can see some glow as well. I used this twice a day. In the morning and night before hitting the sack. I pour few drops the toner on my palm instead of directly pouring it into my facial cotton. and i damp my facial cotton from the toner on my palm. (Works better for me this way) RM 80.00 This toner is totally a value for your money. Bought it for RM 80.00 and it lasted me for 7 months. So, i am investing about RM11.40 a month for this toner and it is totally worth ...

Feed You Skin: The Green Tea Seed Serum #INNISFREE

Image
Today I will be reviewing one of the best seller products in Innisfree. Their Green Tea Seed Serum! I was skeptical at first and wondering if i should get it. I got this bae when he was on sale (Green tea serum signature set) and did not even regret purchasing it all!!!  It is 80ML and i have been using it for about a year plus (day and night). Just one pump is enough to cover your whole face so this 80ML bottle will actually last you quite long. It is totally worth every penny! And i love how fast this serum sets into my skin. You will not feel any oily of sticky, it absorbs pretty quick. I love how it makes my face look so glowing and fresh in the morning.  RM 103.50 However, apparently there's a new packaging and improved version of this serum. Can't wait to get my hands on it once my current one finishes. A must have serums for all the K-Beauty skincare fans! 

Feed Your Skin: Rice Bran & Soy Bean essence #NATURALSBYWATSONS

Image
I an skin care addict. Especially when it comes to Korean Skin care. I happen to spot this essence in Watsons and upon trying the tester, i immediately felt in love with this essence. Also, since currently i don't use any essence, and i thought let's just try this. This Essence absorbs pretty quickly into my skin which is why i love this. I have oily skin hence this product is must for me. It does not leave any greasy or sticky-ness on my skin. I have been using this essence for almost 3 months now and i kind off like how it makes my skin feel. It does make my skin slightly brighter and clearer. However, this is not the only skincare product i use. Of Course i have my favorite serum and toner that i use before patting this essence onto my skin. But again, i love how it absorbs quickly and the smell of this essence. Also, the packaging comes in a white clear bottle with a wooden-like cap. One point for that as well! Definitely a repurchase for me! and i would recommend...

Feed your skin: Eye Care #THEBODYSHOP

Image
So, i have been using Body Shop's Drops of Youth and Oils of Life for about a month and a half now and i am loving the results. Thanks to the sales girl who suggested me this. Drops Of Youth  I use this in the mornings before applying my serum. Oils Of Life And i use this during the night after washing off my face-mask that i use every night without fail (I do skip sometimes when i come back late from work) After using this, i see that my dark circles and wrinkles have reduced. Can't wait to see the outcome when i finish the whole bottle. It is worth the cash as it is long lasting and you just need very little to cover the area under your eyes. Updated: After 6 months of usage. My under eye dark circles have certainty improved a little. However, for the price i expected it to do wonders and completely cure my dark circles and wrinkles but it did not. Not a repurchase for me as if i can find better under eye care products.
