REVIEW ON DR. LEWINN'S ESSENTIALS 4-FUSION CLEANSING OIL

Hi gorgeous,

Korean trend suggests using oil cleanser to actually clean the skin the better and remove the makeup products better compare to just using foam cleanser.  While I am not really into all the double cleansing because most oil cleanser just left me with those oil residue which I don’t really like, this oil cleanser I am going to talk about isn’t the same.

In fact, I thought that Dr.Lewinn's Essentials 4 Fusion Cleansing oil is probably just going to be the typical oil cleanser but then after using for more than a month, this seriously justify why I do like it.

Dr.Lewinn's Essentials 4 Fusion Cleansing oil is by  the private formulations of Dr. Laurence LeWinn, a world-renown plastic surgeon to the Hollywood stars and founded in 1989 based on Dr. Lewinn’s is the best-selling premium skincare brand in Australian pharmacies, it was voted the No.1 Australian premium skincare brand for 11 years running by the Michael Edwards Cosmetic & Perfume Survey.

The ingredients in Dr.Lewinn's Essentials 4 Fusion Cleansing oil looks great and this is the first time I see soybean as the main ingredients for oil cleanser.  Dehydroacetic Acid is the preservative used for this cleanser.  POE (20) Glyceryl Triisostearate is the skin Conditioning Agent , emollient, Surfactant and emulsifying agent.

Other ingredients are basically oils from plants. Vit. E), Sweet Almond Oil, Rose Hips Fruit Oil, Tamanu Seed Oil, Argan Oil, Baobab Oil, Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract, Olive Fruit Oil, Lemon Myrtle Oil. Still check out the ingredient list for potential allergen.

Dr.Lewinn's Essentials 4 Fusion Cleansing oil bottle is elegant with the slender tall bottle. You will need to turn the cap to the right to pump the products out.  One thing that I don't like is the bottle will leak if you only pump half the bottle or accidentally drop it.  I don't know if it is my bottle or other bottles are like this too.

The oil cleanser comes out in form of liquid oil. The thickness of the oil is something like tea tree oil which is very thin and watery. I am in love with the smell of faint refreshing ginger with hint of calendula and rose.

Dr.Lewinn's Essentials 4 Fusion Cleansing oil removes makeup even waterproof one and is really gentle on my skin. I do like that my skin feels rejuvenated each time I use it too. It helps clear my skin breakouts each time without irritating.  It feels clean without dryness and left my skin bouncy.  I find that it  is fine to just use it on its own without a second cleanser.

Overall, Dr.Lewinn's Essentials 4 Fusion Cleansing oil is a good alternative if you are looking for a oil cleanser that is not mineral oil and uses soybean as alternative. A good oil cleanser for every skin type.

So, here is the COSRX Holy Moly Snail Mask review since this snail mask came out somewhere in Jun 2016 and use red ginseng water😮.

COSRX Holy Moly Snail Mask

COSRX Holy Moly Snail Mask uses red ginseng water and the second ingredient is the snail secretion filtrate, hydrating ingredient sodium hyaluronate, no fragrance and doesn't have paraben in it. Allantoin ingredients for anti inflammatory is presented which is good. Still do check the ingredients list of the mask.

The liquid of COSRX Holy Moly Snail Mask is red because of the red ginseng water.  It is also interesting concept since I haven't seen any sheet mask using red ginseng water yet.

The sheet mask does have a good fit and it is of medium thickness.  The size if medium and does fit any face type. This one is able to cover my jaws which other sheet mask don't.  It is soft and cling to my face.  There is a good amount of liquid so I use it all over my neck and to apply the essence all over my face after masking.  I can't clearly tell you how it smells like but it does smell a little of chlorine water mix with floral scent.

 COSRX Holy Moly Snail Mask does hydrate my skin well since a hydrated face heals better.  It doesn't irritate my skin or cause it to break out which is a good thing.

Overall, COSRX Holy Moly Snail Mask is a nice sheet mask if you are looking for some hydration, love the brand and love the ingredients.  Of course sheet mask is not a miracle skincare products but using it provide fast hydration for the skin.

TRAVEL TO TELUK INTAN DECEMBER 2016

Hi Wanderlusts,


It has been long since I talked about food and also travelling. I am separating this post with the food post or else I cannot fit this inside one post. I don’t earn much so I can only afford to travel in Malaysia so if you are looking for some other Asians’ hot spot for youngster, then this is probably not going to be it.


Teluk Intan actually means “Diamond Bay” if translated to English. It sounds really glamorous right? No, there is no diamond mine to dig from this place XD. The name is taken from a famous beautiful women that got her diamond fall into the river that she was bathing and this the name.

Leaning tower of Teluk Intan

Teluk Intan

Teluk Intan

This place is full of one ingredients that is in the Ultimate Nourishing Rice Overnight Spa Mask and Ultimate Moisturizing Honey Overnight Mask

If you have managed to guess it correctly. Yes, it is the oil palm trees! This is how it look like if you are interested in seeing how one of the ingredient looks like.

oil palm trees

Nope, it doesn’t smell nice and it doesn’t shade well. More like stinky oily earthy smell and if you work with the palm oil before. So, let’s stop discussing about palm oil. I am sorry that I bore you.

Leaning tower of Teluk Intan

Leaning tower

Okay, here is the famous leaning tower of Teluk Intan which is build since 1885-you can call it Dupe of Pisa, Italy. Hahahaha. It is leaning and just hope that it doesn’t come crashing down anytime soon. If you look at it, you might think that it is eight storey high but it is actually just three storey high. It is used as water tank to distribute water in the past. Yeah, talk about the hardship when people have to walk really far, queue up for hours to carry precious water back home. Now, it is a Natural Heritage, historical monument and there is maintained because the colour does seems better compare to picture in the past.

Teluk Intan

Kompleks Aik Aik

Kompleks Aik Aik. There are some small shops selling accessories in there. It feels abandoned because there are not many tenants in there and it is so dark in there that you will feel like it is some sort haunted building.

The Store

The Store. This is a shopping store. It is not really that huge but okay for shopping. If you like shopping, then Kuala Lumpur would be more interesting and better. There is a popular Halal shop for mee rebus right across this building so this is a landmark if you plan to for the Mee Rebus. I will talk about that in my food post.

Temple in Teluk Intan

Temple in Teluk Intan

Temple in Teluk Intan

Temple in Teluk Intan

Temple in Teluk Intan

This is the temple near the public bank in the town. This temple is really old and older than the Leaning tower of Teluk Intan. Of course it, this is the part of old area of how Teluk Intan used to look like. The area in front of the building will sink every time it rains so it is dangerous. That is why you can see the tires and sand in front of here. It won’t get fill up no matter how much people fill in.

Even most shop near there closes down. There is a story of how Teluk Intan leaning tower came about after this temple but it is known to only a few of the older generation. Anyone interested to listen to some grandmother story????

road

The road that makes you feel like you are in some western country but minus the high 36 Celsius degree temperature. Beautiful right?

old house in Teluk Intan

This is an example of an old house. No, we don’t live in the trees. This is in the 1950s where life is difficult and it is said that houses in this row are haunted. Now, most of it had collapsed or demolished.


There is a river here but only if you are interested on a YELLOW river with a story about two crocodiles in there. I only heard it from the locals that there is two crocodiles living in that river.

There isn’t much to see in Teluk Intan other than the famous dupe of Pisa tower. If you are here, food is your second reason to visit Teluk Intan. I will recommend all the food that I ate in the next post because it is way too long to talk about it here.


I will suggest to drive if you plan to come over to Teluk Intan because public transport is not readily available and difficult. All food places are far from each other. Moreover, remember to get those parking ticket from a bookstore (you need a parking ticket else you will need to pay compound ) and it is always congested(with cars) in the town.


Do comments if you like my post because it means a lot to me.

HOW TO GET RID OF ACNE AND ASIAN SKINCARE TIPS FOR ACNE

Hi fighter,


I am terribly sorry to say I didn’t manage to do my skincare routine for acne prone skin for you. This post is just sitting in my draft chilling for 2 years because each time I wanted to publish it, I have to try something new. Since I blog, I change my skincare products more than snake changes their skin. I just do not want to give the impression that it is a MUST to use 20 products in one skincare routine in order to get skin like Korean stars.

Besides, some people might think I play favoritism or write glowing reviews just because I get the products for review. You do know I don’t bash a product like there is no tomorrow but I will be honest about why it just doesn’t work for me. I don’t have HG also unless I am sure that the product(s) have work wonderfully for me in whatever situation or I just cannot live without it.

My skin was okay until my skin broke again in January 2016 because I was dealing with a lot of things. I got kick out of a job, need money to pay bills and being very sickly because I was not eating well. All in all, I was not okay inside out. SO grumbly aside and being thankful that you stay with me especially Luscious that even send me a care package. THANK you =)  .

So, here are some new tips that I use to deal with acne. You do not have to get what I use since it is just a guide.  There are many to choose and please look into ingredients.

Tips mentioned in the video:

1.  Suitable skincare products-cleanser, moisturizer and a spot treatment.

2.  Find out your allergies and avoid them. Common food allergies are milk, sugar, flour,wheat.

3.  Drink warm ginger +turmeric to help with the acne inflammation.

I know Hada Labo is a popular brand and many bloggers had reviewed this brand already.  Sorry for being slow but I guess trying it late is better than never.

Hada Labo Gokujyun cleansing oil is also Hada Labo Super Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizing Cleansing Oil. Lucky for Malaysia customer as there is English ingredients pasted at the back.  I can't read a word of Japanese. This is an old version of the cleanser. Please check the new ingredients list below (provided by a reader) =)

Hada Labo Gokujyun cleansing oil or Hada Labo Super Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizing Cleansing Oil

Hada Labo Gokujyun cleansing oil or Hada Labo Super Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizing Cleansing Oil

Hada Labo Gokujyun cleansing oil comes in plastic bottle tinted yellow.  You can still notice the amount of oil left inside the bottle.  The oil is from olive oil so it is similar to some oil cleanser with olive oil.  The liquid is transparent and smell like olive oil which is okay to me.  Hada Labo Gokujyun cleansing oil is supposed apply dry on the skin and then apply water to emulsified the oil into milky liquid.  The cleanser does remove makeup but it does have a film on my face if I do not remove it with another cleanser.  It doesn't clogged my skin and sure my skin feels cleanser when I use oil cleanser.

Overall, an affordable oil cleanser for oily skin that does not like mineral oil cleanser.  It will help to keep the clean better than just foam cleanser.

Product retails for
Hada Labo Gokujyun cleansing oil 200ml is RM52.90 available in Watsons online and at local pharmacies.
