MENTHOLATUM LIP PURE FRAGRANCE FREE

My lips chapped easily so I always make sure to bring lip balm everywhere I go.  This Mentholatum lip pure is fragrance free and there is not taste of anything.  If you lick it, it is plain taste of paper.  It is not bad in hydrating as my lips is sure hydrated and feel more supple compare to not applying anything at all.  It will not turn the lips to another colour so I can also use it at night .

REVIEW ON THEFACESHOP LOVELY ME;EX MY LIPS EAT CHERRY AQUA TINT JUICY RED

Korean tints are available in many forms and you will love it even if you are not hit by the Korean wave.  I particularly love tints because it doesn't cause my lips to chaps even when my lips are already looking like tree barks.  My lips are just so dry that even Vaseline can’t help much.

THEFACESHOP LOVELY ME;EX MY LIPS EAT CHERRY AQUA TINT JUICY RED

Here is the packaging. It doesn't have a box which is good =).

Don't get scared by the bloody red colour that looks like blood XP.

THEFACESHOP LOVELY ME;EX MY LIPS EAT CHERRY AQUA TINT JUICY RED

I can't read Korean characters except that symbols that one should finish using it within 12 months after opening and the packaging is recyclable.

THEFACESHOP LOVELY ME;EX MY LIPS EAT CHERRY AQUA TINT JUICY RED

It comes with the applicator which makes application easy.

MAKE UP TIPS-HOW TO GET A SOPHISTICATED LOOK

Make Up is the tool women use in order to prep up their look every time they are going out. Make up allows women to feel confident and it is a secret kit for them to cover any unwanted spots or pimple before stepping out of the house. Another benefit of make up is that it allows women to change up their look from naturally blushed to super cute to dramatically sexy. Going for sexy look is not that easy as there are certain steps of make up tricks which women have follow.

The first one to create a sexy look is to target the eyes. Women could start exploring the multiple colours in the eyeshadow pallete and experiment a smokey eye look. 

1. The first step to get a sexy smokey eye look is by wedging black creamy eyeliner into the upper and lower lashes of your eyes. 

2. Then, soften it up by rubbing it in gently and layer a black coloured eyeshadow on top. 

3. After that, apply a shimmery grey eyeshadow colour on the upper lids and blend it together. 

Once you are with the eyes, let move to lips that look supple and moisturize naturally. Women should never look down upon the nude natural lip look as it looks sexier then you could ever think of. To get a natural moisturize lip is easy! 

1. First, apply some lip balm onto your lips to avoid dry cracked lips and then select a lipstick colour which matches your natural lip tone. 

2. Browse through the lipstick colour shade selection and choose the perfect one for you. 

3. After all that is done, top your lip with another layer of lip balm or add some shine with lip gloss. 

Other than that, having a blushed cheek will definitely make you look adorable and fresh. As different women have different skin tone colour, choose a blusher which is suitable for you. For the fair skin tone ladies, a pink colour blusher will be perfect for you to show off your sweetness. While the olive and darker skin tone ladies, could opt for a golden or copper coloured blusher. 

1. Apply it on your cheekbones and swab it in the corner of your eyes and tip of your nose for a naturally blushed look. 

2. For women who can’t wait to try out these simple tips, check out ZALORA as it offers customers with a wide range of cosmetic products online. Purchase new make up products and start creating your feminine look.

Ingredient list of ELIANTO  BRILLIANT RICHE LIP COLOUR

ELIANTO  BRILLIANT RICHE LIP COLOUR

ELIANTO  BRILLIANT RICHE LIP COLOUR

01 In Love

01 In love is nude light orange.  I would suggest one to use this as the lip concealer as it would works great to compliment other colour.

02 Blooming

I love this colour the most since it is bright cherry pink as it compliments my complexion without looking too obvious.  I am just into bright colour this and this makes me look cheerful too.

03 Blissful

03 Blissful is orange pink which is a everyday colour that will suit most people.  It gave one a hint of colours without being too obvious.  This is a colour that is suitable for most people regardless of age.

04 Sexy

04 Sexy is a muted pale pink which can compliment all skin tones.  As it is not too bright, this would work for everyday make up. This is suitable for make up with smokey eyes too.

05 Groovy

Groovy is a bright plum colour and it looks like deep purple on my lips actually.  Personally not my favourite colour for daily use but definitely great if for cosplay makeup as evil queen.

06 Wild

06 Wild is just like the name itself which show a wild side of a girl. The texture is very much just like tint. The colour is actually very bright blood red. I think it is most suitable for vampire kind of makeup especially for Halloween or Snow White's red lips.  This is certainly a colour that all women should have in their lipstick collection.  Among all the colours, I find this is the one lasted through the day on my lips.

SWATCHES OF ELIANTO  BRILLIANT RICHE LIP COLOUR

ELIANTO BRILLIANT RICHE LIP COLOUR




The lipgloss is very pigmented and waterproof. It won't budged even when I rub it off my lips with tissues.


Personally, I find that all the lip colours are very long lasting and the colour sure did not fade one bit by the end of the day. I don't need to retouch the lipstick colour the whole day if you are just drinking since it doesn't transfer to glass. The colour doesn't stain the cup so do not need to worry about the stains or eating the lipgloss into our stomach. The colour only disappear a little after eating. There are also variety of the colour so I am sure that you would find the colour that you like. Besides, the colour is sure very bright, pigmented and I love them very much. This is sure handy when you are looking for long lasting lip colours since these lip colours are very pigmented and on a budget.


It is only RM25 and I think the price is much lower than most long lasting lipgloss, stain and lipstick.



Tips:Make sure that you apply it on a dry lips or else the stain resistant feature wouldn't work. One thing about stain proof makeup is cleaning it so I would suggest to use oil based makeup remover or petroleum jelly. Normal cleanser might not be able to clean it.




Available in shades ranging from bright nude to deep red: In Love, Blooming, Blissful, Sexy, Groovy and Wild at RM25

SKINCARE TIPS: HOW TO CHOOSE SKINCARE PRODUCTS FOR ACNE PRONE SKIN

It has been sometimes since I write about skincare tips and here I am back with another post on how to choose product for acne prone skin.

I am a skincare junkie and yes I love skincare products more than makeup =). I am not good in makeup, lazy and I think having a good skin is better than having the best concealer in the world.

Whenever I am in Kuala Lumpur, I would sure visit Sephora but now we can also order the products online through Zalora website . \ ^ v ^ /  How amazing is that???  My friends love Sephora eyeliner because they are cheap and it is really nice considering the price.  Oh, let go back to the skincare tips =)  .

1. First of all, know your skin type. It might be dry with acne , oily with acne or combination with acne. Do not assume that everyone has the same skin type.

2. Check your age. Acne products that works for adult is not the same as the acne products for teenagers as the skin built is not the same. Look for brands that cater to certain age.

3. Use a good simple cleanser for your skin. The Koreans follow the double cleaning method which is use oil cleanser first follow by the foam cleanser. Or you could use cleansing water which is also very popular for oily skin.  Treat your skin like a baby.

4. Then after lotion/toner, applied the essence or moisturizer.

5. Apply eye cream to reduce the stress around the eyes and prolong your youth.

6. Do pore cleansing mask and then sheet mask to reduce the flare up. Most Korean do “A sheet mask A day” and it does help but since I don’t have deep pockets, I can’t do that every day. Choose the mask for acne/sensitive/trouble/blemishes and ingredients such as green tea, honey and hydrating ones.

I think that is some simple skincare tips on choosing products for acne prone skin.  If there is anything that you would like to know, feel free to let me know at the comment section.

REVIEW ON EGYPTIAN MAGIC ALL PURPOSE SKIN CREAM

About Egyptian Magic

Egyptian Magic All-Purpose Skin Cream "The People's Choice" is new to your market. It is a phenomenal healing balm with legendary powers due to its unique mixture of all natural ingredients derived only from living plants and organisms. Egyptian Magic All-Purpose Skin Cream "The People's Choice" has been on the market since August 1991 with a solid track record, a loyal word of mouth following, and twice the healing power for half the price of conventional skin creams.

This is a products that everyone rave about and it is a favourite among so many celebrities.  I personally will approach it will a skeptical eyes as I don't really believe if there is something that works for everything.  Well, the word MAGIC does gets my attention.

The texture is just like balm and it will turn into oil if rub a few times.  It smell of olive oil and of petroleum jelly.  It is bearable but I don't think everyone will find the smell pleasing.  I find it really moisturising to my lips and it cure my chapped skin.  My lips always cracked as usual but applying this prevent it and my lips is really moisturise throughout the day.  Since it is only 3ml, I am not sure how it will fair for my acne prone skin.  I get about 2 application out of 3ml and I realise that it doesn't break me out but I think my pimples is still there.  I guess it is because I have really stubborn pimples and it only works with certain medication meant for cystic acne.

It works as a good makeup primer for dry skin. The skin would be really moisturise and not dry when applied makeup.  I heard that it works for rashes and also for sunburnt skin =).  I guess because there is high content of olive oil in it =).

Products retails RM5 at 3ml , RM75 at 59ml  and Rm125 at 128ml at Natta Cosme

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.

MY DAY AND NIGHT SKINCARE PRODUCTS

For the past many years I had been trying so many products mainly from drugstore.  Yeah, Watsons and Guardian is my favourite places to shop for them.   I will never fail to buy each time I got into Watsons and my wallet will just cry each time.  Well, I had bad skin and so I keep on looking for the “magic potion” to cure them.  Recently, I tone down the amount of products I use as I finally have found some of my favourites.

To share, I have combination (normal on cheeks + oily on T-zone), acne prone and sensitivity.  Most people misunderstand that sensitivity means sensitive to certain chemical ingredients.  My sensitivity is hereditary.  Not only do i breakout or flushed because of certain chemicals, i also turned red easily when i am shy or feeling hot.  My skin is naturally thinner than normal people and this can't be fix.  Even some natural and organic products can make me flare up with redness all over.

Normally, if I go for facial analysis, the beautician will either ignore the fact that I have sensitive skin or ignore that I have acne prone skin and not see my skin as overall.  That is one reason I avoid “facial” now.  By right, I wanted to see a good dermatologist but I took matters into my own hands and luckily nothing bad happened to me.  I wouldn't say my skin is super duper fantastic but it is the best I have after this 10 years of battling acne.

My morning/day skincare routine

1.Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser

I raved about this a few times.  It calms down my sensitive skin and doesn’t dry out my cheeks.  Just that it is not enough for my t-zone.  I find that I couldn't use cleanser meant for combination or oily skin as they tend to dry my skin too much. However, don’t expect this to clear up the acne or pimples you have.  Since it moisturize my skin, I can even skip on moisturiser.  I heard that not everyone suits this cleanser but it works on me. Review here

2.La Roche Posay Anthelios 60

It is super ultra light sunscreen that is really just like the light lotion.  It is expensive but worth the money spend.  I bought mine from the strawberrynet.com  and it is my most expensive sunscreen ever.  This is my daily sunscreen because this doesn’t contain physical blocker( zinc ozide or titanium oxide) which clogged my pores.  I prefer chemical sunscreen as they don't have the white residue that make me white. However, i do use physical blocker type of sunscreen if i am going out swimming at the sea.  Review here

3.*Mycin clindamycin (optional)

Opps, i forgot the mycin picture but you can check the photo from my review on it.  This is the antibiotic I use when I have breakout.  I am not suppose to use this everyday as the bacteria may just get immune to it and it won’t work anymore.  Make sure that the skin is dry before applying too. Just spot treat it.  As I am aging into my late 20s, my skin couldn’t handle the benzoyl peroxide.  Benzoyl peroxide dry my skin and left big painful marks on me and the acne still wouldn't disappear. Review here

4.Lipbalm/Mentholatum lip ice sheer colour/Kose Q10 pure medicated UV cut
Lipbalm is a must as my lips will chap like crazy since it is always so dry.  I tried quite a few and still find mentholatum one of the best.  Some leave a weird taste on my tongue and i don't like it.  The Kose Q10 i bought it in my sasa haul last year and it was quite cheap. About RM3 and it is scent free and taste free.  Just that it is not so moisturising.


Since my skin is sensitive, i can't use too many skincare products or do the fantastic skincare 'layering' on my skin.  My skin will just flare up or get clogged easily.  Besides, applying those serum will just get "wasted" on my skin since sensitive skin like mine would not be able to absorb anything or they might worsen my current skin state.  I have to wait until the skin calm down.

Night skincare routine

1.Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser
I use this too at night. Sometimes, I use the Tebe lavish soap when I am bathing and forget about carrying the Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser into the bathroom.  I don't makeup and i use sunscreen which is not waterproof.  So, no worries about not cleansing enough.


2.*Mycin clindamycin (optional)
Only on areas with break out.



3.Senka Hoshitsu Lotion S
This is all in one moisturizer and it is really light and provides enough moisture to my skin. I am using the one for combination to oily skin.  I applied this all over my face but avoided the area with breakouts. Review here


4. Vaseline
To moisturise my dry lips.  I didn't review this though.  Maybe next time.






My night routine is really simple and I am only using my own bare hand to wash my face. It actually works fine although I want to try the Clarisonic too > <   .  For the mean time, I couldn't do the layering for fearing that my skin would have ‘angry’ acne popping up again.


My acne is mostly at my cheeks and a friend told me that it is due to hormone imbalance. I guess it can’t be help and what I can do is try to ‘tune’ it by sleeping enough, eat balance food and exercise.


Besides the daily skincare I usually use aspirin mask, mud mask, blemish mask and natural DIY mask (tomato mask and lemon mask) twice weekly. I don’t really like the egg mask since it is smelly and sticky. I am not really a fan of sheet masks for the reason they are always too big on my face. I don’t use scrub, whitening and ageing products temporarily. Yeah, of course I wanted to brighten my face that has freckles but unfortunately I can't. I will venture into anti ageing products soon as I am already in my late 20s.  I avoided eye cream since the last serious allergic I had last year. I am kind of paranoid to try eye cream and may have to go through the "pain" again. Let's just say my eye bags is there but i can't do anything about it for the moment.

My bare face before going to sleep.  This is my current skin now. Not edited.  Hopefully it doesn't creep you out. > <

My skincare products will change again in a few months time since I like to stray. I am still tweaking and trying the Biotherm Pure.fect.


Mind sharing your skincare day and night skincare products with me?  Who knows i might find some gems hidden.

REVIEW ON BURT'S BEES LIP SHIMMER STRAWBERRY

If you a person who is paranoid about having something chemical on your lips, then maybe you should try Burt's Bees Lip range.  Their products are 100% natural.  Lips shimmer provides lipbalm effect on the lips plus colour and shimmering effect on the lips.  They have a lot flavour to choose from. Strawberry is one of their newest range.

The colour of Burt's bees Lip Shimmer Strawberry-pale strawberry

As i got it from the post, i think the heat from the process of delivering had cause some defect to the lip balm.
T_T  .  I couldn't put it back inside the stick.  So, i had to put the lip balm into the container.  Luckily nothing else happened.  The name Strawberry is based on the colour of the lip shimmer and not the taste.  It is natural pink and the shimmer is just nice.  It won't make one look like a having a diamond on the lips.  It would suits everyone and is a daily colour.  One can layer it to achieve more shimmer and colour.

I love the minty and cooling feeling of the lip shimmer that lasted for about 30 minutes.  It is also moisturising on the lips.  Just that the colour doesn't last long.  Well, i don't expect that from any lipbalm unless they really put in some permanent colour that may stain or be dangerous to our health.  If you lick it, there is some sweet taste but i don't like the aftertaste of the lip shimmer on my tongue.

Here is some photos of me with the lip shimmer-strawberry.

Overall, i think that the colour is not that amazing but it suitable for nude makeup or to pair up with smokey eyes or even daily use.  Sorry cause i do not put up any makeup(not even bb cream) so i think i just look "normal" with this lip shimmer.
