REVIEW ON CLEAN&CLEAR FRUIT ESSENTIALS FACIAL CLEANSER PURIFYING APPLE
I am sure that there are many who used Clean&Clear products before. So did I until my skin turned 180 degree because I don't take care of it at all. However, it remain a favourite with my family members.
Over the years, I bought my mum many types of cleansers and she everytime she would still tell me that she still prefer Clean&Clear. My family are very loyal to this brand unlike me who stray from one to another. Many told me that this brand is for teenagers but if it works well with your skin, I think why you should you stop using it? After all, the purpose of cleanser is to clean the skin and unlike other products that provides the skin with essential benefits. My mum find this is the one most useful in cleaning her face.
So, this is the new types of cleanser that contains bursting beads. The bursting beads will provide the skin with gentle exfoliation for thoroughly clean deep into your pores. The liquid contains small beads that cleans my skin and leave it quite soft. I think this is a great cleanser for people with oily skin and I find my nose clean properly without feeling dry. The smell of green apple is great and i can feel refreshed after using it =) . Those with dry skin will find it drying though. Overall this is a budget effective cleanser.
Products retails at RM12.90 for 100ml.

REVIEW ON MONTAGNE JEUNESSE ORANGE OIL &VITAMIN C PEEL OFF FACE MASQUE
The orange oil&vitamin C peel off masque is under the face food range that get two sachets for the price of one. Their mask are made from natural ingredients and well I would say effective and cheap. Definitely one of my favourite drugstore products ^^.
Here are some details about :
Orange Oil & Vitamin C Peel Off Face Masque
Gently peel away dead skin and impurities with our vitamin-rich face mask. Vitamin C combined with Orange Oil soothes, refreshes and restores your skin's moisture.
• Suitable For Vegans
• Gluten Free
• Dairy Free
• Nut Derivative Free
• No Added Parabens
It made from: Grapefruit, Lime Peel and Vitamin C.
It is suitable for Combination, Normal as well as for Oily
Cleanse face and dry. Apply thinly and evenly over face and neck with fingertips, avoiding eyes, lips and hair. Relax for 5-10 minutes or when totally dry gently peel off masque (never pull) wash off any stuck bits with water. Pat dry. Use weekly.
The packet smell full of Vitamin C and oranges. The gel is quite thick, transparent and orange clear. The amount inside the packet is enough for the whole face. I like everything that smell like orange so i loveeee this too. The mask is easy to apply as well as easy to peel off too. I don't find any fray left behind after i peeled them off. My face does look much brighter too. I usually use this kind of mask at night. If you use vitamin C and go out without sunblock in the day time, your skin will turn even darker. Vitamin C is very sensitive with harmful rays from the sun and it will hurt the skin even more if you do not wear any sun protection. So, i suggest using this when you are not planning to go out to achieve better benefits. By the way, don't use it on broken skin. If you like peel-off mask, brighter skin and also oranges, i guess this mask is suitable for you. ^^
RM6.90(6mlX2) Made in UK.

REVIEW ON BEAUTY CLINIC MEDIHEAL OVERLAB YELLOW PUMPKIN REAL POWDER MASK
Masks came in this pink box =) and very fast delivery

It uses a highly concentrated formulation of natural materials, helping your unbalanced skin become healthier by making it resistant to stress and restoring skin balance.
The Overlab mask are mask with powder and ampoule separated together.
There are five variants:
Yellow Pumpkin: Moisture CareOrange Mandarin: Tone Care
Blue Berry : Energy Care
Red Pomegranate : Firming Care
Green Tea: Soothing Care
Moisture Care
Autumn squash powder sheet beneficial to skin moisture provides the freshness and efficiency of ingredients efficiently and adds the closeness and nutrition of skin with the synergy effectt of concentrated essence.
HOW TO USE:
1. After stabilizing the skin with toner after face wash, gently press the ampoule on the upper part of the pouch following the arrow.
2. Press everywhere so as for the ingredients to be evenly soaked into the lower sheet. Soaked it for 10minutes.
3. After pulling out the sheet sufficiently soaked with the ingredients from the pouch, touch its part with well-absorbed powder and naturally made texture on the face, match the areas of eye rims and mouth on the sheet into the face, and leave them covered.
4. Rest comfortably for 15-20 minutes and remove the mask.
5. Remove the mask, and let the skin absorb the remaining essence by gently patting the skin.
The mask comes with pictures and instruction in English to help non Korean to understand how to use the pack. The rest is in Korean which I couldn't understand.
The mask looks big on me because I have a small face. The fit is nice and comfortable. It is rather soothing and cooling to the face especially in a humid and hot country such as Malaysia. It is still 35 degree at night
=(. Using a mask is really good way to cool down the face and moisturise the skin. It just like having a facial at home with such a cheap price =0.
=(. Using a mask is really good way to cool down the face and moisturise the skin. It just like having a facial at home with such a cheap price =0.
The colour of the powder mask for Overlab Yellow Pumpkin is more obvious than Overlab Orange Mandarin.
Just like the Orange mandarin, there is some smell to this mask but I am fine with it =) . There are a lot of extra ampoule which I used with the mask on my neck after pampering my face. It really soften my skin and I can still feel the skin moisturise the next day.
The only thing that I dislike about this Overlab mask was probably it is so thin that the ampoule tend to drip onto my clothes. =( I prefer the Clinic Mediheal Cacao ADE Mask because of the mask sheet texture =)

REVIEW ON BAYER ASPIRIN MASK
I like to use the aspirin mask when I have breakouts. Aspirin is actually also known as acetylsalicylic acid turned into salicylic acid when mixed with water. However, recently all the Dispirin which is also aspirin is all out of stocks. Everywhere I went, it is all out of stocks =( . So, I have no choice and bought this Bayer Aspirin instead. It should be the same since it is Aspirin. My mum thought that I wanted to commit suicide by buying such a huge packet of medicine. I have to explain to her that it is medicine for my face and not for consumption purposes =P.
For many people who always have clogged pores and acne, this is definitely a saviour. The Bayer Aspirin tablet is actually bigger than Dispirin so the quantity needed for a face mask is also lesser. I have to use 2 tablets if i am using Dispirin but will only need 1 table for Bayer aspirin.
However, the Bayer Aspirin seems to produce beads that is actually larger than Dispirin. Both will give me the same effect on my skin so that is really fine if i couldn't have Dispirin anymore.
I tend to use Aspirin in two ways- with water or mix it with Aloe vera. Don't worry about using it with Aloe Vera unless aloe vera make you feel itchy. I am using about one tablet spoon of Fruit of Earth aloe vera to mix it with one tablet of Bayer Aspirin. The result is more cooling and there would not be flakes forming on the skin fast.
Using with water would be drying on the skin but it works too fine too if you got oily skin=) .
If you are out of Panadol for headaches, you can use this Bayer Aspirin too but make sure your stomach is not empty since it is acidic. Besides, make sure you are not below 16 years to consume this medicine. Only use it for external use if possible.
Products retails at Rm11.90 per box (3X8tablets) at pharmacies.
This is not sponsored. I bought it. However, the opinions expressed here are my own and honest as always.
You can check out this post for how I make aspirin mask with water.

Other variants would pomegranate, pumpkin, kiwi apple, cacao, lemonlime and acaiberry. Each variants targets on different things. Cacao ADE mask targets on pore clean and also skin texture. I really need this as my pores is always clogged =( .
The ADE mask pattern
The mask is a little thicker compare to the Overlab one but it really adhered to the skin better. There isn't any extra essence inside the mask compare to the Overlab range. Besides, that the essence also doesn't drip from the mask. Perhaps it is because of the unique patterns on the mask. This mask smell a little like cocoa.
My skin is softer and the pores look really smaller after the mask. My skin look brighter and more moisturised the next day =) . It also calmed the redness of my skin. I love this Beauty Clinic Mediheal Cacao ADE mask very much as it really suits my skin sensitive and clogged skin.=) This is will be my favourite sheet masks =) .

REVIEW ON MENTHOLATUM LIPICE COLOR GLOSS SWEET BEAN
click the photo for bigger view
I always like using Mentholatum lipice range. I still do miss the packaging of the lavender water lipice many years ago. For a person like me who couldn't live without anything to moisturise my lips, lipice was my first encounter of beauty products before many comes into my life. I always need a lipbalm for chapped lips.
The colour is actually very light pink to the point of transparent but it smell like strawberry and doesn't leave a taste inside my mouth. I don't have to use lip balm when I have this with me. Besides, I like to just apply directly to my lips as my fingers will contain a lot of bacteria after touching so many things.
It is moisturising but the lipgloss will disappear fast too. However, the moisturise do last. Other than that, this is a good cheap lip gloss. You can use it with lip tint for those Korean gradient lips which is a hit now.
Products retails at Rm12.90 . Available at the Guardian, Watson and other local pharmancies.

BEAUTY CLINIC MEDIHEAL
Overlab Orange Mandarin Real Powder Mask (1 Sheet/25ml) RM9.90
Tone Care Tangerine peel powder sheet is beneficial to even out dark skin tones provides the freshness and efficiency of ingredients efficiently and adds the closeness and nutrition of skin with the synergy effect of concentrated essence.
HOW TO USE:
1. After stabilizing the skin with toner after face wash, gently press the ampoule on the upper part of the pouch following the arrow.
2. Press everywhere so as for the ingredients to be evenly soaked into the lower sheet.
3. After pulling out the sheet sufficiently soaked with the ingredients from the pouch, touch its part with well-absorbed powder and naturally made texture on the face, match the areas of eye rims and mouth on the sheet into the face, and leave them covered.
4. Rest comfortably for 15-20 minutes and remove the mask.
5. Remove the mask, and let the skin absorb the remaining essence by gently patting the skin.
press the bottom part as hard as possible for the liquid to run over to the sheet mask
I think that the packaging is beautiful and easy to use. The reason it is transparent at one side of the mask is for easier usage. You will be able to see the mask and won't accidentally press the wrong side. The name Overlab Orange Mandarin collaborate well with the mandarin orange pictures on the mask. The package comes with instruction in English to help non Korean to understand how to use the pack. It even contains picture as instructions. However, the rest is in Korean which I couldn't understand.
The reason why they separate the powdered mask and the ampoule is because the powder contains highly reactive Vitamin C that will loose the effectiveness if left for too long. That is why one has to use the mask immediately once the ampoule came in contact with the powdered mask.
The sheet mask is of medium thickness. It is comfortable on my face.
I can't differentiate what the smell but it smelt almost like plain water. I couldn't smell any orange. The liquid inside the mask is a lot and generous. I used them on my neck too.=0
The fix of the mask is okay since I have a small face so i already expected this.
There is sign of brightening on my face but it is not obvious on photos. My skin is also much moisturise the next day =). Overall this mask is quite good =) .

REVIEW ON KELANTAN DELIGHT
even water is put in such classy bottle =)
Keropok lekor
We had keropok lekor and anchovies for starter. The keropok lekor was soft with crunchy exterior. There are actually many varieties of keropok lekor but this is the original version of keropok lekor which I had tasted 10 years ago. Keropok lekor is a famous street food and are commonly eaten during the afternoon tea at the East coast of Peninsular Malaysia. The anchovies with sesame are crunchy and sweet.
Tom yam kelapa
I think that the Tom Yam kelapa is the one most unique dishes of all. The super thick and spicy gravy made it really appetizing even for a person like me who couldn't eat spicy food. There hint of oregano to accompany the gravy. Besides that, there is coconut flesh that helps to tone down the spicy to be more bearable =).
Kerabu sotong
The Kerabu Sotong is great as the squid are very tender and succulent. I don’t normally eat kerabu but this gets me take few more spoon as the squid are so fresh and tasty.
Ikan siakap daun kaduk
This is their most famous dishes of all. The leaves that looks like the sirih leaves are actually the daun kaduk. The ikan siakap daun kaduk taste amazing with the sensational gravy that has the hint of fresh coconut milk. However, we can’t figure out the rest of the ingredients. The fish is also fresh and juicy.
Pucuk paku belacan
The pucuk paku belacan is really tasty as I think they use high grade of belacan that smell really good and definitely did not has the pungent smell. The vegetables is really fresh and crispy. It felt like eating kangkung =). Of course different from the previously pucuk paku that I had eaten.
Sambal udang petai
Sambal udang petai is most favourite Kelantanse dishes of all times =). The fresh tantalizing prawn goes so well with the sauce and the petai. They used the medium size petai that has medium pungent smell and I love it. This dish is definitely not spicy at all. In fact I think there is sugar added to tone down the taste of the sambal.
Telur Dadar
Telur dadar is fluffy as I think the chef cooked it to perfection. If one notice, there are few layers inside the omelets making it really tasty and eating it would be like eating trough French pancake-Crepes.
The syrup selasih is quite tasty with chewable selasih.
Lompat tikam
Lompat tikam
By the end of the course, we couldn't stuff the dessert. However, the dessert was the one I was most excited about since I love dessert.
Lompat tikam was presented in such a beautiful way. Lompat tikam is actually a traditional popular Kelantanse dessert.
The glutinous rice is actually a little hard for my liking but it will soften when soak in the gula kabung and coconut milk.
The soft green pandan kuih is really nice. It felt like eating pudding. Oooohh, really lovely and not too sweet. The sweetness is just right. Yummy.
So sorry, I realise that i didn't even take a single photo of the rice, ayam percik and gulai kawah =( . I guess I was too impatient to eat that i totally forgotten about snapping some photos first. So sorry.
The white rice served was of course high quality as it is grainy and different from the rice that I ate before. It is really a great compliment to accompany all the dishes.
Ayam percik was cooked to perfection and the meat was soft and there was not a single hint of it being oily. I would love to eat it all if not because I am already too full.
The gulai kawah was okay to me as. It wasn't spicy at all but overall the gravy was quite delicious with very subtle hint of spices and coconut milk. The beef was also cooked with technique that it was not chewy at all. =)

REVIEW ON CRABTREE&EVELYN SOMERSET MEADOW HAND CREAM
the cream
Seriously, I have no idea what are hand creams until I was introduce to them early this year. I was wondering what is the usage of having a handcream when the body cream can do the same thing. Then I found this Crabtree&Evelyn which is famous for their handcreams. My friend love their hands smelling nice and hand creams do have this function.
My hand smell like fresh cut grass which is soothing but the smell doesn't last long. The cream is opaque white but turned transparent upon applying on the hands. After 30 minutes, the smell turns faint and disappeared. I find it is not that moisturising enough unless i squeeze a large amount and wear gloves over my hands at night. Well, the design of the tube make it easy to squeeze them out and the packaging are pretty too. The colours usually follow the designated fragrance od the hand cream.
I think it would be a great gift for those that have dry hands and doesn't like anything sticky. It is easy to carry them for travelling too. Sometimes, I use them as body lotion or just to soften the dry patches at my legs. It does help =) .

REVIEW ON DERMAFAL PLACENTA SERUM COMPLEX WITH SQUALENE&VITAMIN E
Actually, I have never heard of Dermafal until I got this sheep placenta serum complex with squalene& vitamin E. Apparently, there are many who are raving about this placenta serum.

The bottle is really luxurious but also bulky and heavy. It is made of glass and thus one can see the beautiful pink colour and the capsules within the bottle.

It does look like the famous Elizabeth Arden ceramide capsules. The capsules is soft and easy to use. There are 60 capsules inside one jar. The gel capsules is even made to look like the heart shape which most people would adore.
The ingredient are really simple.
Ingredients: Ovine placenta oil, tocopherol, squalene,water,fragrance
At first, I am really in a dilemma as I had avoided all sort of placenta products but then I was sent this for review. I came across a few articles that sheep placenta is actually a waste product and there is no harm to the sheeps. Still, I hope that I don't participate in mass macabre of any animals just to own beautiful skin. Not to say I am a vegetarian and such but it's just that i will try not to use weird things if I can. The concentration of placenta is really high. Squalene is liver oil from sharks. I am not sure the type of sharks but there are sharks where people eat. Yes, can even buy them from the market. Not the same type as shark fins. I don't know if using placenta is still consider weird with snail cream,Vampire facial and even leeches facial nowadays.
the facial oil which doesn't leave a greasy feeling
I only use this serum on my skin at night since good things are suppose to be use at night for it to be more effective. Morning regime is more suitable for products that moisturise and protect so therefore i decided to use this only at night. Night regime is to heal "wounded" skin like mine. If you have extra money or want it to work faster, you can try using it in the morning as moisturiser. I am only using this after cleanser at night.
The oil is clear transparent and it is just enough for my face and there isn't extra for my neck. The serum absorb into my skin immediately. It will be oily at first but then the oil would just disappeared by itself after 1 minutes and there wouldn't be any traces of oil. It is called facial oil but not the greasy type. I heard that squalene &vitamin E is more suitable towards those that want to heal their wounds like me =) . The other two are much oilier than the serum with squalene and vitamin E.
The smell is not that fantastic but bearable. Just don't expect it to smell like Chloe perfume since it contain high amount of Vitamin E.
The liquid is pretty much transparent and absorb easily into my skin immediately making my skin moist and soft skin. The moisturise do last until the next morning. This oil made my skin so moisturise and soft that I can even skip moisturiser the next morning if I am in a hurry.
I have scars and erupting acne as a results of not sleeping properly two weeks and this placenta serum seems to magically help to get rid of the acne scars which normally takes forever to heal. The effect is much faster compare to just using aloe vera. I can see obvious effect on my skin the next day itself when I am using this serum! My face also doesn't flush or turn red that easily too. I guess it is suitable even for sensitive skin =) .
After few days of using it, I was surprised that my nose is not so oily! I think it does help in balancing the skin =) . The other area of my face is well moist =) . I like how the skin looks when I am using this serum!
Not sure if my freckles gets any lighter.
