The sunscreen comes out in form of opaque white.  It goes on smooth on the skin, brighten the skin and smooth out the skin like a primer.  It is transparent once applied on skin with sheen so it won't cover the red scars if you have any.  The skin is primed to be brighter which I guess suits the glowing look of summer.  There is a slight white sheen along with moisturized skin which is really great for makeup after that.  Skin feels matte to the touch but not to the point of dryness or taunt skin.  The sunscreen is water resistant since I couldn't clean it off with just plain water.  Make sure to remove your sunscreen well at night even if you do not use makeup.

I just do not really fancy the smell of those orange flavour dehydration salt.  It will only disappear few hours later. XP

I like that this sunscreen has only zinc oxide because titanium oxide just doesn't work that well with me.  Zinc oxide is really great for healing and appears on rash cream or used for skin rashes.  It did help to protect my skin and did not irritate my skin.  There is also the anti ageing ingredients, Astaxanthin, Cucumis Sativus (Organic Cucumber), Hyaluronic Acid, (Red Algae) Extract, Organic Green Tea Extract, (Organic Pomegranate) Seed Oil and Citrus Grandis (Grapefruit) Essential Oil.


However, there are some essential oil that may clogged some skin type so do check out the ingredients first before purchasing.
Capric Caprylic Triglycerides (Coconut Oil Extract), Organic Jojoba Seed Oil, Organic Sunflower Seed Oil, Organic Pomegranate Seed Oil, Grapefruit Essential Oil, Sweet Orange Essential Oil, Citrus Reticulata Blanco (Tangerine) Essential Oil.

REVIEW ON JAPAN GAL VC+NANO C MASK

When you need to do sheet mask daily but looking for affordable sheet masks to not break you account.  Sheet masks is not cheap here but I like using them for the cooling especially in this warm and dry weather.
So warm, that my skin itch and becomes irritated.  Japan Gal VC+Nano C mask offers 30 pieces of mask for daily sheet mask.

I actually went to the local drugstore shop and saw that the there is only a box of this Japan Gal VC+Nano C mask left so I guess it must be cheap for it to leave one box.  It turns out this is daily sheet masks and the price is affordable given that is 30 pieces.  Inside the box is actually a zip lock bag containing all the 30 pieces of masks.  Use a cleaned tweezers or some other tool to take the mask than your hands to avoid contamination.


The cotton masks is decent.  It is not particular soft but it is okay.  The fit is vertically longer that horizontal wider.  I wish that it is wider.  It doesn't fit my face and I have to cut the mask sheet each time.  The mask doesn't cling to the face but doesn't fall of my face which is okay.  The essence is not bad and it doesn't have any fragrance to it.  Not drippy as the mask dries up within 15 minutes so do not use it more than 15 minute else it will stick hard on you face.  It does help to calm my face, doesn't irritate and hydrate my skin.  Overall, it is a decent mask for daily usage.  You will need to use the mask daily to see brightening effect.  Although it is not particular amazing, I will buy it again for being affordable, the decent effect that it gives and also it doesn't irritate my skin. =)

I didn't include the photo of before and after but if you need it let me know.  It is okay and so I don't see much effect other than better hydration and slight brightening.

REVIEW ON MELVITA L'ARGAN BIO BODY BUTTER FOR VERY DRY SKIN

Blame it on the erratic weather that is currently happening.  My dry body becomes drier than the leather and it dawn upon me that I no longer have the option of ignoring it or being lazy.  It can get really itchy and red that the usual light body lotion just doesn't make the cut.

I was really glad when I was handed L'Argan Bio Body butter for very dry skin.  This is different from the body butter and cream that I have tried before.



L’ARGAN BIO Body Butter
L’ARGAN BIO Body Butter


L’ARGAN BIO Body Butter

Renowned for its regenerating properties, Argan oil replenishes and protects very dry skin. When combined with the nourishing properties of Shea butter, it helps to soothe the skin and restore its elasticity. This formula is made with beeswax, which gives it a unique «oil-in-butter» texture that unites the properties and smoothness of the oil with the richness of a cream. It envelops the body in a scent from faraway lands, withdelicate and floral, oriental notes. Thirsty skin is quenched; it feels velvety soft and supple again.


99% of the total ingredients are from Natural Origin.
20% of the total ingredients are from Organic Farming.
100%Organic and Fairtrade Argan Oil


Melvita Argan oil is a first-pressed oil, extracted mechanically from Argan kernels (Argania spinosa) and 100% Organic (no chemical solvents, artificial colorants or fragrances).

Sorry that i have forgotten to remove the sticker on the top part. Hope you will make do without it XP
I like the screw lid because it will avoid products from leaking out.  The aluminum tin is sturdy and well made with good quality printed design. The design remain even when many times of touch and greasy hand XP.

Melvita Body Butter vs Body Lotion
Body butters and body lotions are the two most commonly used body moisturizers. While both of them are effective in keeping your skin soft and supple, these two products have their own unique qualities and properties, let’s take a quick glance


BODY BUTTER
BODY LOTION
Denser in texture and highly emollient
Lighter consistency

Could retain moisture for a longer period of time
Lower oil percentage

Suitable to be used as overall body moisturizer for dry and extremely dry skin. For normal skin, body butter to be used on the driest parts of your body or overall  body when skin becomes dry due   to sun exposure, harsh winds, cold or heat

Suitable to be used as overall body moisturizer for all skin types
For use during the night to seal in moisture especially under dry air-conditioned room
For use during the day to hydrate and lock skin natural moisture without feeling sticky and greasy



There are many uses of Melvita Organic Beauty Butters
Body butters can actually be used in many ways:

v Hand Care –Apply small amounts during the day and larger quantities before bed to keep your skin soft. For better results, you can also put a pair of cotton gloves while you sleep.
v Rescue dry patches – Heals dry flaky skin patches instantly.
v Foot Care – Massage on clean feet and cover with cotton socks overnight. This simple treatment can rejuvenate your feet quickly.
v Cuticle Softener – Slather some on your fingers and toes to make it easier for you to remove your cuticles.
v Make Up Remover – Perfect natural way to remove make up, dirt and impurities as body butters contain higher vegetal oil content.Body butters can maintain the beauty of your eyelashes as well.
v Neck Moisturizer – Massage onto neck and use upwards strokes to remove fine lines and wrinkles.
v Massage – Had an extremely stressful day? Warm a small amount of Melvita Body Butters in your hands and gently massage the whole body.

The body butter has creamy-lotion like texture instead of those thick, uncomfortable heavy body butter.  It is really easy to smooth the body butter on my skin and it sure feel more like a night cream since it doesn't leave any residue or shine on the skin.  it is occulsive enough on the skin so I guess it is suitable for those looking for cream for the body products but are unsuccessful with conventional body lotion.

The smell disappeared after 1 hour.  The effect does last on my skin the whole day without me feeling dry with just one time application in the morning.  I think this is a great organic body butter for extreme dry skin.  It is sure economical considering that you only need about a dime(1inch diameter) for your whole body. =)

FOOD: DRAGON DEW CAKE (DESSERT FOR BEAUTY&ANTI-AGEING)

"When there is light, there is also darkness"

Here is a cake so black that you would think if it comes from the volcanoes.

This is the reverse Asian dessert of the popular 'Raindrop Cake'.

DRAGON DEW CAKE (DESSERT FOR BEAUTY&ANTI-AGEING)




This is a food recipe for beauty and for health purposes.  I believe that one have to care about what you put inside your body besides caring about what you apply on your face.  Your skin does show the amount of effort you care for yourself.  After all, glowing skin is not just a one night miracle =) .

So, here is the Asian secret for cooling down the 'heat' inside your body and on a hot warm summer.

Guilinggao chinese herbal jelly powder
Guilinggao chinese herbal jelly powder
This is the powder I used to make the 'cake'.  There are many imitation out there because it is really famous in Asia and it took me back to a Hong Kong drama that popularize this herbal tea.  It is really good for the health and cool down the body.

Guilinggao chinese herbal jelly powder

It has taraxacum mongolicum (dandelion), smilax glabra roxb (tu fu ling or sarsaparilla ), lonicera japonica (Japanese Honeysuckle) .  No turtles kill in the process.
Guilinggao chinese herbal jelly powder
Guilinggao chinese herbal jelly powder packet

Ingredient:
1 packet of Guilinggao chinese herbal jelly powder (make sure it is original as there are many imitation out there)
250ml of water

Instruction:
1.  Take out two spoon of water from the 250ml water.  Pour in the packet of the herbal powder into the two spoon of water and stir until it is well mix like the glue.  Then, pour the rest of water into the cup and stir again.

2.  Next, boil the mixture just now on the stove.  Use low heat.  Make sure to stir slowly until the mixture turn thicker like glue and then quickly turn off the heat.  (Don't stir until it harden like a lump of jelly)

3.  If you like it sweet, then add in about 20 g sugar into the mixture.  If don't, you can don't have to add in the sugar.  You can serve it with honey later on.

4.  Then pour the mixture into the mold for it to cool down.  Don't use plastic because it is going to be toxic and it is not good for consumption.

5.  Once it cool down, put it inside the fridge and serve it cold.


So, overall do you like it?  It is a fairly easy to make herbal recipe for health and for dessert.  It is actually slightly bitter so children may not like it for sure and we usually eat it with honey or with the plum sweet XP. I am used to the slight bitterness because there are other way bitter things that I have tried before.  It is like eating jelly but with traditional medicinal herbal taste =) .



Products,
Guilinggao chinese herbal jelly powder, you can get the powder from Asian herbal stores.

REVIEW ON CHARMZONE SAMPLES-GINGKO NATURAL FOAM CLEANSING CREAM, ALBATROSS POWDER SUN SPF41 PA++&ALBATROSS WATERFUL CC CREAM

Charmzone is a mid range Korean brand.  They are famous for their ginkgo based skincare products and mostly target people above 40 years old.

It is not a roadshop brand so it is not as popular because of the less mentioned by others.
I got to try three samples- Charmzone Gingko Natural Foam Cleansing Cream,Charmzone Albatross Powder Sun SPF41 Pa++ & Albatross Waterfull CC Cream
Here are short review on them.

CHARMZONE SAMPLES-Charmzone Gingko Natural Foam Cleansing Cream, Charmzone Albatross Powder Sun SPF41 Pa++



CHARMZONE SAMPLES-GINGKO NATURAL FOAM CLEANSING CREAM, ALBATROSS POWDER SUN SPF41 PA++&ALBATROSS WATERFUL CC CREAM
GINGKO NATURAL FOAM CLEANSING CREAM, ALBATROSS POWDER SUN SPF41 PA++&ALBATROSS WATERFUL CC CREAM

1. Charmzone Gingko Natural Foam Cleansing Cream
Contains 600mg of gingko extracts
This cleansing cream's fine and rich foam cleans pores, provides moisture while cleansing, and reduces stretching and greasiness in skin with its plant extracts.
150g All skin types



Review: The cleansing cream turns into soft thick creamy foam with contact with some water.  It smells faint of fresh green plants and cleanses the skin well without irritation.  The skin is soft but not overly dry which is enjoyable.  It is a good milk cleanser for all skin type.  The price is of the higher end though.


2.  Charmzone Albatross Powder Sun SPF41 Pa++
Proves its quality with just a single use
A sunscreen which leaves you feeling soft and dry and smooth like being powdered Provides UV protection & functions as a makeup base
Can be used on all skin types.
70ml
All skin types

Review:  It has titanium dioxide and zinc oxide.  It comes up in form of slight yellowish opaque white cream but turn into slightly powdery satin finished after a minute on contact with the skin.  The satin feeling does last few hours under the cc cream and this sunscreen doesn't cause the makeup to pile on the skin.  There is a slight white cast on the skin if I am not wearing foundation.  It smell of perfume which disappeared once I top something on top.
It is a good sunscreen if it is not for the fact that I am easily irritated by the titanium dioxide in it.


3. Charmzone Albatross Waterfull CC Cream
Contains 30% birch sap
Two functions in one touch: skin care & makeup
30 g
Can be used on all skin types.

Review: It has titanium dioxide and zinc oxide.  This is supposed to care for skin while providing some for of coverage for the skin.  It has birch sap which is hydrating to the skin and protect the skin from wrinkles and premature ageing.
It comes out in very light brownish cream since it is a CC cream and you are supposed to use the finger to go in a circle until the colour turn.  It was still a shade lighter than my skin tone so I don't particular like it.
Skin does feel moisturise but I guess the cc cream is more suitable for dry skin type than mine.  The coverage is light so scars can be seen through the cc cream.  It has a perfume smell to it to but the smell disappeared after 30minutes or more.



Overall, since I only get to try three things, I think I will try the cleanser which I think is great if I have to choose among the three samples that I have tried.  The other two samples are just not suitable for my skin that don't work well with titanium dioxide.



Products are available online at Lazada, Sasa and also in Isetan KLCC, Malaysia.

EOSUNGCHO-FERMENTED KOREAN SKINCARE
EOSUNGCHO-FERMENTED KOREAN SKINCARE 


The samples are enough for one or twice usage so I can't tell you what are the effects in long term.  The mask powder, the essence and the sap toner have the same ingredients and but the have different fermented flowery herbal smell.  If you enjoy smell of ginseng and herbs then you will enjoy the smell =) .

The cleanser has soft foam, cleanses the skin well but it won't be able to clean waterproof makeup of the face, doesn't dry and doesn't irritate the skin.  It smell of herbal roots XP.  It has low ph since high ph immediately turns my skin red.

I am not sure what the essence and sap toner do to the skin. The sap toner is very watery while the essence is yellowish gel.  They absorb well into the skin.  The peeling gel also smell like herbs.

Moisturising cream is actually gel, provide a light hydration and suitable for oily skin type since it is not sticky.  It does have a nice light hang bang scent to it.

The powder mask is mix with the toner to create a paste which is to apply on the face.  It smell like light herbs and doesn't stain the face.  You need to get the mixture right or else it will easily become pasty on the skin.  It did calm my skin and sooth the acne slightly but I don't see much effect from one usage.


Overall, from the samples that I tried, I will recommend the cleanser, peeling gel that really makes the skin soft with one usage and the powder mask to feeling fancy.  It does like an Empress to use hang bang skincare for your face .

REVIEW ON WHITE FORMULA自白肌 SUPER MOIST LIGHT TONER WITH HYALURONIC ACID


When White Formula自白肌 Super Moist Light Toner With Hyaluronic Acid, it immediately reminds me of a popular Japanese brand. I guess this is the closest dupe that I noticed from the market.

Before I start going into my views of this product, here is some information about the product.

With the use of cosmetic surgery grade components and clinical low-irritation tests, highly effective mild products have been successfully developed. Products contain no fragrances,no alcohol and low irritation, which may be used with peace of mind by sensitive skin as well.



PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS

Sodium Hyaluronate-Macro form of Hyaluronic Acid intensely hydrates Skin surface forming a protective layer which locks in and prevents loss of moisture. Hyalo-Oligo™-Micro form of Hyaluronic Acid permeates Skin surface to form a water reservoir in Skin epidermis leaving Skin deeply hydrated from the inside out.


SYN®-HYCAN-Nano form of Hyaluronic Acid penetrates deeply and targets dry Skin cells for complete hydration. It actively seeks collagen within Skin epidermis to stimulate its regeneration enhancing Skin elasticity. Hyaloveil®-This special form of Hyaluronic Acid boasts 10x hydration and works in synergy with the other forms to provide long-lasting moisturization throughout the day.

The list of ingredients.

It is just like water but doesn't smell like one XP .

The toner is very light and feels like water. It absorb into the skin fast and leaves no residue nor sticky feeling. The skin does feel hydrated and comfortable. There is faint smell of hyaluronic acid will smell-a little plastic? The smell does disappeared once on the skin. Of course this toner is not an exfoliating toner so I guess I don't need to find out the Ph level.

The toner is hydrating and one can use it as mist for people who do not like heavy toner or just want light hydration for layering purposes. I will say that the ingredients do look very similar to the Hada Labo one and could be possible dupe if you are looking for the extra niacinamide in their toner.

It tried it for a month and while I don't think it break me out, it is just a light cheap boast of hydration.  You could use it with cotton pad or compressed mask for sheet masking which will provide better hydrating effect.  While, I really think it a light lotion, I don't think it did anything to get rid of my stubborn acne or reduce my pores.

I find that Super Moist light toner is an affordable hydrating toner and could be possible dupe of the Hada Labo. The reason that it is not well known is probably because it is not endorse by a famous Korean celebrities but if you are looking for something similar to Hada Labo with hyaluronic acid, you could try to look into this toner.





Do be careful and look into the ingredients first.
