NEWS: THE LAUNCH OF A FREE BEAUTY SAMPLES WEBSITE MUFFIN.MY

Do you love a free website that you can redeem beauty products from writing reviews?  We finally have one in Malaysia now after waiting for so many years!  You can check my review HERE

Muffin.my is officially launched! Introducing you Muffin.my, the first unbiased beauty review community in Malaysia, where we encourage members to share their beauty

experiences by writing reviews and earn points. From the points that they earned, they can redeem beauty products from our redemption catalog. Having more than 500 brands and 23,000 products in product library, Muffin.my connects beauty users with brands and products.



The Founder

The founder of Muffin.my, Ms Florence Chee shared h er story of the start up of the beauty community website. “Back in 2011, I was pursuing my professional degree in Manchester United. I was searching for beauty product review online and I found there was great information and reviews being shared in one of the top beauty review websites in the states, but I couldn’t find such website back in Malaysia. This is where I want to set up a one stop beauty review community in Malaysia,” she explained.

With a team of energetic and motivated staff (1 founder, 1 developer, 1 designer, 2 web administrator, & 1 PR manager), Florence tends to hand out to those who are in passion in beauty, skincare, and makeup products, to meet all their honest reviews on the products they are using. Florence described Muffin.my as a similar version of TripAdvisor website, but with more interactive elements. “We ensure all reviews are genuine and unbiased to ensure quality inspections,” explained Florence. After working in a web consulting firm for a year, she realized that working life isn’t her real goal. “Just as what Steve Jobs quoted “the only way to do great work is to love what you do”. I want to make my dream come true, and my dream is to create the largest beauty review

community.” “A lot of people asked me why use ‘muffin’ word for my website. I wanted to create a simple name where people will remember the websiteeasily. The word ‘muffin’ just popped out in my mind and the next day, I tried to register the domain, and volla, it is valid! So immediately, I registered my website www.muffin.my . However, many people thought that we are selling muffins!” laughed Florence. With 6 years of experience in internet retailing and marketing, Florence hopes that Muffin.my will reach

100,000 members in 1 year time. Currently, 92% of our members are women; with most of them are 19-29 years old.

Skin care was one of the most dynamic categories in Malaysian beauty and personal care, and with RM1.6 billion being spent annually by Malaysia, the vision to be one of the largest www.muffin.my



.

Future Plan

Our next step is to create a mobile-friendly app version, to allow people access to our website easily at anytime, anywhere. Our future plan is to create beauty forum, help beauty merchants to conduct online surveys or marketing research, mystery shoppers and who knows? Maybe we will sell beauty products in the future!

REVIEW ON NUXE GEL DÉMAQUILLANT FONDANT MELTING CLEANSING GEL

NUXE Gel Démaquillant Fondant Melting Cleansing Gel
Description: NUXE Gel Démaquillant Fondant Melting Cleansing Gel gently cleanses and removes make-up from the face and eyes. A rich, smooth texture that does not dry out the skin. Skin is perfectly clear, clean and purified. Ultra Soft and Soap-Free. Face and Eyes – normal to combination sensitive skin.


How to Use: Apply NUXE Gel Démaquillant Fondant Melting Cleansing Gel with Rose Petals to your moist face. Massage using the fingertips in light circular motions then rinse with clear water.


Ingredients: NUXE Gel Démaquillant Fondant Melting Cleansing Gel gently cleanses and removes make-up (Coconut derivative) without drying out the skin (Macadamia Oil). Skin is soothed and softened (Damascena Rose Petal Floral Water, Allantoin).

Nuxe is known for the Huile Prodiguise and natural products.  I was quite excited to try this as I do like Nuxe products and am wondering about this fondant melting cleansing gel.  The cleansing gel smell like mixture of jasmine with rose so if you do like rose, chances is you would like this.

The texture is just like a fondant and it doesn’t lather at all.  I tried to lather it up on my hands but it doesn't work that way.  In the end, I would just wet my face, put the fondant directly on my face, massage it 5 rounds  and rinse it off.

It is effective in cleaning non waterproof makeup.  As for thick makeup or waterproof one, i need to do double cleansing or clean twice using this cleanser to effectively remove all.  The cleanser doesn’t dry out my skin so I think this must be more useful for those with dry skin.

No sure how much it cost.  Made in France

REVIEW ON NUXE BRIGHTENING PROGRAM BB CREAM SPF 30 PA+++

It claimed to : Unifies, diminishes the appearance of darkspots, beautifies, moisturizes and suitable for all skin types.  Ideal as a makeup base.


I had never heard of NUXE BB cream yet.  I heard that it will only be launching in Malaysia this month.  So, those getting this bag will be one of the first to try the BB cream.  Nuxe is a famous for the Huile prodigieuse  so i can't wait to just try this since i love the Huile Prodigieuse.

Here is the swatch of the bb cream.  Look really orange on my skin. =(
Personally i do not really like the smell.  It smell like some plastic even after several hours.  i guess because it is really organic that there isn't any fragrance added thus smelling like that.  However, if you are someone really into organic things maybe this is for you.

This is the photo of before and after.  The lighting is the same but my skin tone look really different right?

The orange colour just doesn't suit my light skin or it oxided on me =(  .  Nuxe BB cream provides medium coverage for my skin since i can still see the red pimples.  It does moisturise my skin and last on my skin for few hours.  It is waterproof but not sweat proof since when i blot, some of the bb cream came out.  As for oil control, i am not sure since i will blot with tissue even if i do not look into the mirror.

I think Nuxe bb cream is more suitable for those with tan skin compare to light skin like mine. > <  I just look darker with this BB cream.  I am not sure if they will come out with different colours but so far there is only one colour for everyone.

Overall, if not for the smell and it doesn't suit my skin tone, i would like it since it is organic?  I just couldn't accept the smell that makes me feel sickly each time i take a sniff at it =( .  Sorry but this is just my honest opinion.  Have you tried this  NUXE BRIGHTENING PROGRAM BB CREAM SPF 30 PA+++ before?

15ml Nuxe Brightening BB Cream SPF30/PA+++ (RM120/30ml) are from April Bag of love  .Thanks to The Butterfly Project-Beauty Blogger .

REVIEW ON NUXE HUILE PRODIGIEUSE MULTI USAGE DRY OIL

This is a suppose to be a cult product.  Well, when it is a cult product, you will wondering whether does it work?  Well, i was skeptical at first and wondering if it just something like the Bio oil or the Palmer therapy oil.

Well, I say this is a good product to have as it is really multi-purpose.  It make my skin soft and it is definitely not oily or greasy at all because it is a dry oil.  So it is different compare to the common oil.  Huile Prodiguise   just disappeared from the skin after application making the skin really soft.  The Huile Prodiguise Or gives glow for those that want shimmer without looking like a disco ball.

So far, it doesn't give me any breakout even when my skin is sensitive and acne prone.  I break out when using hada labo(my skin is that bad).i will definitely come back to this product when i finish this soon.  I find that i love the smell but you can't use it as perfume cause the smell disappeared after an hour on me.  It smell of jasmine flower.  If you hate the smell of jasmine, you will probably hate this.Talk about the versatility, i used it on my face as moisturiser, on the edge of my hair, face primer, body lotion, hand lotion and even cuticle oil.  Incase if you are wondering, it is made with six precious plant oils and vitamin E.  The 100ml comes with a spray.

Well, it is a product worth investing at since it is good for my skin and i don't need to look further to bring everything when i travel.  I am a light traveller and i dislike bringing heap and heap of things when going travelling.

Feel free to leave a comment or question pertaining this product.  I will try the best to help you.

The bottle comes in a glass and it look luxury enough.  Nuxe is available in Sasa Malaysia.

So have you tried this products before?  What do you think of it?
