Beauty Friends face mask & Taiwan Near Ocean review!

Long post ye beware :3

Can you tell how in love I am with this shawl? :p

Hello loves! ❤ Today I wanna share with you guys my favourite mask routine for when I'm feeling like making my face appear brighter and glowy glowy hihi I love trying out different kinds of masks from different kinds of brands. Face mask is a must for me. Can't go a week without 'em. My favourites would be the ones from SaSa yang beli 5 = Rm11 tu :B So effective and cheap! But I do have another favourite that I bought from International Beauty Expo (IBE) 2013 a few months back. Its the Beauty Friends Green Tea Essence Mask! I bought it in a pack of 10 if I'm not mistaken for RM10! So cheap kan? Rugi tak pergi IBE youalls. But you can also get this @ SaSa don't worry tapi harga lain lah and packaging pun a bit different maybe this is the old one.

Green tea should be your skin's BFF. It has so many benefits for you. It helps to fight cancer, heart disease, diabetes, anti-aging, reduce redness and inflammation, acne and so much more! You can either drink green tea or use it as a face mask. Why this is my favourite? Simply because its gentle to my sensitive skin (some face masks do irritate my skin) and it soothes and reduces my redness effectively. I love pairing this mask with the Taiwan Near Ocean Whitening Cream that I got from IBE for Rm10 as well. I was only experimenting at first but I was amazed that it works so well together! Its like a 2 in 1 treatment! Not only will it reduce your redness and inflammation but it will also make your skin appear brighter (not whiter) and healthier! I know that its a whitening cream but I find that it will only make my skin appear brighter instead of whiter. But bottom line is, it works!

This cream is very lightweight, gentle to the skin and doesn't leave your skin feeling/looking oily at all. And its so effective too! The cream is easy to blend and your skin will instantly absorb it as you can see above. I know last picture tu youalls will be like "tak nampak mende pun" well thats the point honey! So easy to blend blend blender blending~ How do I combine the two products? Well first I spread the whitening cream evenly all over my face then I put the mask on and leave it for 30-45 minutes depending on my mood. Hoho. After you take it off, your skin will appear brighter, glowing and no more redness!

SimplySiti Dual Action Make Up Remover Review!

Hello loves! ❤ Back to back entry how about that huh? :p Yes, its going to be a product from SimplySiti again! Haha. I wanted to do this review along with the mascara but I'm afraid that it would be too long of an entry. So I decided to do the review desperately if you don't mind. Of course you don't :p Hehe. 

Anyway, this is my favourite ❤ makeup remover of all time! I discovered this makeup remover a long time ago and I've finished bottles and bottles of it (can you imagine how much I love it?). Its really amazing yet shocking that a RM19.90 makeup remover from your local drugstore (or pharmacy) works so amazingly well that in my opinion it shouldn't be marked as drugstore product at all. With such an amazing quality like that I think it should be high end. Don't get me wrong though I'm not associated with SimplySiti or anything, this is my honest opinion and I happen to really like this brand. I've tried so many makeup remover from the local drugstore and I must say that so far nothing beats SimplySiti Dual Action Make Up Remover! However, I've yet to try the DHC makeup remover and the Bifesta Sebum Cleansing Lotion but as you know those two products are on the pricier side. So, for RM19.90, its really amazing okay. No question(s) should be asked.

Before using this makeup remover, you must first shake it well till it becomes this light green colour. Put a generous amount on a cotton pad and wipe it all over your face. It will instantly remove your makeup in just one swipe! 100% guaranteed! ❤ Even if you're wearing a really heavy makeup, this makeup remover will remove it, again, in just one magical swipe! There's really nothing to hate about this makeup remover. But, if you're not a fan of the greasy/oily feeling on your face then you might not like this makeup remover. If you're fine with it then you will definitely love this makeup remover! ❤

Here's my demo/tutorial on the makeup remover! Enjoy :)

SimplySiti Argan Wonder Mascara Review!

Hello loves! ❤ Yay, I'm back :D I have a lot to catch up here. I have a lot of products that I want to review and share with everyone :B So let's start with SimplySiti! Honestly, I don't know what's up with SimplySiti but I just looooooove the brand! And I have yet to try the foundation though. Heard many awesome reviews about it and I want to experience it myself. Anyway, this is my latest purchase:

Actually I went to Guardian to buy the Makeup Remover but then I noticed the promotion box so helloooo ;) Haha! But seriously, what a score right? And I was just thinking of buying a new mascara because I'm about to run out mine. So this box contains SimplySiti Argan Wonder Mascara with 3x Volume and Lengthening Effect and SimplySiti Dual Action Make Up Remover. 

The Argan Wonder Mascara has a pretty normal wand. It's not too big and it's not too small but I personally don't like it. I'm not a fan of this wand at all. Not just this wand but every medium to large-sized wands out there. Mainly because I have a really short upper and bottom lashes. Especially bottom lashes its like its not even there! You have to really look at me in order to see my bottom lashes :( Sobs. Finding the right mascara for my lashes have been a really pain in the ass. I like Clinique's bottom lashes mascara but its so expensive -.- My current favourite mascara is Maybelline Colossal Cat Eyes Mascara. The wand is just nice but its still not the wand that I'm looking for in a mascara. I want something like this:

Now this is the wand of my dreams! This is It Cosmetics Tightline Mascara. The wand is so small!!!!! Its perfect for my lashes!!! Wish I can find something like this in Malaysia :( Anyone? Ok back to the Argan Wonder Mascara! I actually made a video of me reviewing and doing demo of the mascara but my voice was so soft so I decided not to put it up and make the review on my blog instead. 

Sorry about my cakey makeup, I was doing a Siti Nurhaliza transformation tutorial and... I failed.

Likes:
- It makes my lashes looking really really long.
- It works well on its own.
- It volumizes my lashes really well.
- It works pretty well on my bottom lashes which is great!

Dislikes: 
- The mascara doesn't dry up pretty fast resulting it smudging under my eyes when I blinked.
- The clumps. It makes my lashes looking unnatural. 

Overall I really like this mascara ❤ despite the wand and the clumps because I really hate clumpy mascara but it makes my lashes looking really really long! so how can I hate it? Its really an amazing mascara. I have the shortest lashes among my siblings and for the first time ever my 11 y/o little brother commented on my lashes saying that it looked so much longer than his which was a really huge deal for me because he has the longest lashes among us hihi :B So much love for this mascara! ❤

A quick update // Indonesia Haul!

Hello loves! ❤ Sorry I've been MIA for quite awhile. Well you know, Aidilfitri and all and I just got back from a quick trip to Indonesia. Me, my mom, my sister and my grandma went to Bandung and Jakarta to be exact. It was really fun and tiring. Right now I'm just settling down and trying to get some rest before putting myself to work again. So I'm so sorry for the delay in updating my blog, reviewing cosmetic and skincare and making videos. 

Plus, I'm so sad to say that I broke my camera during the trip :( I had a mango juice inside my bag and it split and broke my camera! But not only that, it made my bag smelling all yucky and stuff. Ew. I gotta get my camera fixed but until then I'm going to be filming using either my laptop or my phone so I'm so sorry in advance for the poor quality of the videos. I will try to get my camera fixed as soon as I can! 

Until then, enjoy this haul video of all the stuffs that I bought in Indonesia hihi its not much because I only had three million rupiah (RM1k) and I refused to top up using my own money so yeah, managed to buy only a few things. Anyway, enjoy! :) ❤

Mario Badescu Acne Repair Kit Review!

Hello loves! ❤ Sorry for being away for awhile. Had my finals a few days ago but, yay semester break! Hehe. I've been meaning to share this a looooooong time ago but didn't manage to find the time :/ I fell in love with this brand when Jen from frmheadtotoe talked about it a long time ago but I didn't know that I can get it in Malaysia. You know I find it funny because you can get this brand at Sephora and I've been to Sephora for idk how many times for how many years but I didn't see this brand at all. Not even once! Hahaha loser gila. But I didn't bought it at Sephora though. Mahaiii. I found out that Luxola.com sells them for a lot cheaper price! 2x cheaper to be exact! Plus Free Shipping on any order above RM100! Perfect right? 

RM151 at Luxola.com (almost RM250+-300 at Sephora)
Consist of: Drying Cream, Buffering Lotion and Drying Lotion.

I've been using this kit for a few months now and I just can't tell you how much I love this kit! This is an acne spot treatment kit. But mind you that this kit will not make your acne disappear like that *snap* but it will reduce the appearance of your acne the very next day. Yes, it is THAT fast! If you have like a really tiny zit or anything like that then it WILL disappear the very next day. You can either use them separately or use them all at once at the same time. Which ever works for you guys :* 

Drying Cream | RM61.50
"Acne cream that conceals! Drying Cream is an effective treatment to dry up small under the surface bumps and pimples. Just a few dabs smoothed on the erupted areas prevent pimples from getting larger and spreading out of control. Aloe rich cream conceals and heals erupted pimples."

How to use: "Apply sparingly on pimples by dabbing with fingertips until cream blends into the skin. Best when applied after moisturizer, before make-up." This is step 1 for me. I just dab the cream all over my acne but instead of blending it, I just leave it at all. 

Buffering Lotion | RM82
"Specifically designed to treat large, deep, cystic acne, the buffering lotion covers large erupted areas for overall treatment. Formulated with nourishing B vitamins and amino acids for healthy skin as well as soothing anti-inflammatory herbal extracts to promote healing. Reduce cystic acne fast with this deep penetrating, fast absorbing formula."

How to use: "Shake bottle until white sediment is completely dissolved, apply solution to areas of cystic breakout with clean fingertips. Use nightly on affected areas." This is step 2 for me. I place it right on top of the drying cream. But don't apply too much though or else it's going to fall down your face. 

Drying Lotion | RM 84.50
Now this is what everyone's been using and raving about! If you don't want to buy the kit then just buy this!
"The Drying Lotion is a fast acting, effective acne spot treatment. Formulated with salicylic acid, calamine and other quick-drying ingredients, this product will shrink ugly whiteheads virtually overnight while you sleep. While other acne spot treatments can irritate and dry delicate or sensitive skin, this product is safe and effective for all skin types."

How to use: "Before bed, after cleansing, toning and moisturizing apply a dab of lotion directly on the whitehead using a cotton swab. Do not rub in. Let it dry and rinse off in the morning. DO NOT shake the bottle and apply only the pink sediment on the skin." And this is my last step. I just take a cotton swab, dip it and place it on top of the Drying Cream and the Buffering Lotion. 

I'm really happy and satisfied with this kit! Really does its job! But the only downside is that the smell is kind of strong (not in a good way). It will also leave a stain on your pillow if you're not careful. But other than that, I l-l-love this kit! Worth my money ❤
