What Is It:

For anyone suffering from age-related dryness, dark spots, dullness, and loss of elasticity, 

the AZN Labs Afterglow Ampoule helps reverse these signs of aging and prevent future damage

 without spending hours a day on skincare. This is also the perfect product to help prevent future 

premature aging and protection against harmful radicals and pollutants while achieving a dewy

allowing skin to repair itself and regain its youth.

The science behind Astaxanthin:
A vibrant red keto-carotenoid, astaxanthin is created naturally in rainwater microalgae as
a byproduct of stresses like excessive sunlight. With 550 times more antioxidant activity than

it is believed to be the most powerful antioxidant, capable of neutralizing far more free radicals at
any given time than other antioxidants.

FOOD REVIEW ON MINCHER SALTED YOLK PASTRY

Hi foodies,

I like salted yolk food items especially salted yolk fried chicken.  So when I saw this at the isle for Taiwanese snacks, I got it along with some food items which I already ate them all up. 😆

So here is the Mincher Salted Yolk Pastry from Taiwan.

Mincher Salted Yolk Pastry

Mincher Salted Yolk Pastry

Mincher Salted Yolk Pastry

Finely layered cripsy cookies, rich eggy flavor

Packaging: Very nice cute matte packaging.  Inside are individual packaging of 12 pieces.  It has everything written in Chinese and English.

Anyway, I don't see Halal chop on it so not sure if it is safe for Muslim. 

Ingredients: 

Wheat flour, palm oil, sugar, salted yolk, flavor, salt

The ingredients are the usual ingredients for baking.  It is vegetarians.

Review:   The pastry comes in one individual bite size.  I was able to get 2 bites from it.  The pastry is slight crispy for pastry.  It is not the crispiness coming from potato chips or the type with one bite, the pastry will break into many pieces.  It does have slight scent of egg yolk.  It is not too sweet.

Overall: Mincher Salted Yolk Pastry is an okay salted yolk pastry.  Taiwanese pastry tend to be a bit more tone down compare to the one from Hong Kong and Malaysia.

Product retails for

Packaging: 

Innisfree My Real Squeeze Mask Tea Tree comes in a nice beautiful one piece packet sheet mask.  It has the picture of the ingredients on the sheet mask.

Ingredients:

Paraben free, sulfate free, alcohol free, Eu allergen free, silicone free.  Not fungal-acne safe (malassezia). 

The non fungal safe is on the middle of the ingredient list, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil. It doesn't cause me fungal acne since the tea tree ingredient which on way higher list already deal with the fungal.

The main star ingredients is on the 3rd ingredients.  Other ingredients are the same so do check if there are any ingredients that you can't use.  I have no problem with the ingredients.  There are other plant extract and hydrating ingredients which are lovely for that extra hydration and calming effect.

The Before 2017 version uses the butylene glycol and contains alcohol with the main ingredients being on the 7th ingredient.  There are some ingredients such as lactic acid, citric acid, ascorbic acid and phenoxyethanol removed from the sheet mask.

Texture&scent: The new 2017 version has the sheet mask made from 100% cellulose fermented eucalyptus mask with better tear resistance and is thinner at the same time.   It does adheres to my skin well and not slip off easily.

Innisfree My Real Squeeze Mask Green Tea and Tea Tree both have that watery refreshing type essence.  I like the fit on my face.  It might look big on my face but in reality it is not that big.

There are lot of extra watery transparent liquid inside the package enough for a second masking.

As for the scent, the tea tree sheet mask smells like Tea tree the moment one open the packaging and the scent is through the masking session.  I like tea tree scent so it is not a problem for me.

Green Tea smells like green tea and I like the scent too.

Review: I do find both of the sheet mask works for my skin.  If you have oily, combination, acne prone  and doesn't mind tea tree, the tea tree one will work better for your skin.  The Green Tea is suitable for every skin type which is nicer for most skin type.

Overall, Innisfree My Real Squeeze Mask Green Tea and Tea Tree are affordable gateway sheet mask to Korean sheet masks for acne prone skin.  It is also a great item to carry during travelling as sheet mask is not counted as liquid.

REAL LIFE STORY HAUNTED HOSTEL IN MALAYSIA

Hi beautiful people,


Love some good stories?  Today we are going to a haunted school's hostel in Malaysia.

Rose work hard and finally got accepted into one of the local universities.
She was excited about her new life and the freedom to do whatever she wants.
Upon arrival at the dorm, she was placed on the 7th floor on the oldest building at the far end corner of the blocks.  Climbing up the stairs to her room took some time.  She unpacked her things and waited for her new roomate that never turned up.

After unpacking she went to the bathrooms which is on the other end of the floor.  On the way, she passed by another girl.  Rose couldn't see her face since this girl only looks down on the floor. Soon she forgot about the long dark hair girl. 

Life was the usual.  Study, eat, sleep.   Sometimes, she could hear the sound of furniture moving.  She thought it was probably stressed with school assignments.  Come to think of it, someone sure do enjoy taking a long bath since there's only sound of water from the cubicle but never saw anyone coming out from it.

So eat, sleep, study, eat, sleep, study.  4years quickly went away.  One day, as Rose walked out the ground floor, some girls greeted her and told her some weird occurance.  They  saw a girl with long hair, wearing white clothes walking from one end to the other at 2am.  

Rose wasn't surprised since she did go to the bathroom at 2 in the morning yesterday.

Everyone ended up laughing because it was just Rose.
Curiously, the girl asked again if it was her daily habit that Rose went to the bathroom at 2am everyday too.

Rose replied that it was "Only yesterday"

FOOD REVIEW ON WALLS DURIAN MATCHA MOCHI

Hi,

Here is Walls Durian Matcha Mochi which is so good.  Not sponsored or paid since I bought it myself.

A good mochi has thin layer of sticky rice dough, soft and stuff with a nice filling.  In Japanese, it is also known as daifukumochi or daifuku.  Here is a local good mochi with nice durian filling.

Walls Durian Matcha Mochi

Walls Durian Matcha Mochi

Packaging: A nice paper box with very nice coloured illustration.   Inside is a wrapped up package with four mochi inside.

Ingredients talk:  

The filling is made with real fruit of durian.  It is halal certified.  I love that there is no artificial colouring and no artificial flavouring.  There is Musang King mochi too but only delivering around Klang valley area.

Texture: It is soft with thin dough and the filling is real durian which is really good.  It has the right sweetness in it with nice Durian filling.

Review: The thin soft matcha mochi outer is just right and not bitter at all.  It compliments the sweetness of Durian flesh inside.  It is a bit expensive but I think it is worth the money since it is really good.  Just the right snack when I couldn't find the real fresh Durian and is unable to deal with opening the Durian. Real Durian is thorny and hard to open.

Made in Malaysia

You can buy it also from 7 Eleven one piece for RM3

SKINCARE TIPS FOR MASK ACNE

Hi beautiful people,

With this worldwide problem we are having, it is a daily thing to wear mask for the safety of your health.  This also creates the irritation of the skin called maskne or acne caused by the build up of humidity inside the mask. 

Here are some skincare tips for mask acne

Types of masks

There are many types of mask around.  Althought it is more comfortable to wear cloth mask, it isn't really safe compare to the medical or N95.

Change your mask every 2hours. Most mask reach the capacity so unless you wear halzmat suit or those kind that is non disposable then try changing it.

Reduce humidity

Most of the time, sweat, hot and humidity cause acne or fungal to build up.

So if you are constantly sweating or feel hot inside, try this tip. Use a panty liner and stick it at the mask.  The mask will soak up the sweat. You can use the one from Daiso made for armpit. It will prevent humidity and sweat inside your mask.



Anti inflammatory skincare products

Anti inflammatory products reduce inflammation of the skin.  My favourite are neem power, mugwort,heartleaf and tea tree.  You can also look into skincare ingredients containing centella asiatica, echinacea, propolis, bha, mandelic acid, turmeric, ginger and hortunia cordata.


Have a healthy lifestyle
This is a no brainer but having a good lifestyle do increase the skin health and your overall complexison.  Eat balance meal and also drink some antiflammatory tea. Green tea, hibiscus tea, ginger tea, dokukami helps to reduce inflammation and protect your immune system. Eat fishes that contain good protein that are needed for healthy cells buildup.


Clean your face and moisturise
Wash with a gentle cleanser whenever you came back from outside and everytime you change your mask.  Some recommend to spray with alcohol or sanitizer but I just don't like reuse dirty mask with my saliva.  If you are using reusable mask, then wash it the mask and clean it before you use it again.
