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

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). It has been produced in accordance with the Ecocert ESR* standard (Équitable, Solidaire, Responsable – Fairness, Solidarity and Responsibility).

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.

L’ARGAN BIO Body Butter

There is aluminum foil covering it =) .

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.

L’ARGAN BIO Body Butter

Here is the body butter. Smell of floral and argan oil mixture.

L’ARGAN BIO Body Butter

Here is the body butter on my body.

L’ARGAN BIO Body Butter

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)

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

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

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 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.

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 

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.

White Formula Super Moist Light Toner With Hyaluronic Acid

White Formula自白肌 Super Moist Light Toner With Hyaluronic Acid

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

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.

Please keep product away from children; if there are adverse effects, stop and consult a dermatologist; do not use on a wound or swelling; users with sensitive Skin are advised to perform a sample sensitivity test before carrying on.

White Formula Super Moist Light Toner With Hyaluronic Acid

It comes in form of plastic blue bottle =). There is no box to it which I think is good =).

White Formula Super Moist Light Toner With Hyaluronic Acid

The list of ingredients.

WHITE FORMULA自白肌 SUPER MOIST LIGHT TONER WITH HYALURONIC ACID 

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.

WHITE FORMULA自白肌 SUPER MOIST LIGHT TONER WITH HYALURONIC ACID 

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.

Here is the ingredients list of all the three products with hyaluronic acid:

REVIEW ON SHISEIDO THE COLLAGEN POWDER V

The boundary between food and beauty are really getting blurred with beauty in a packet of powder drink to make women look young. The demand for more effective beauty products triggered the emergence of beauty in form of food.

Shiseido collagen was one of the pioneer for many beauty supplements that came out after that. Thanks to collagen that ‘sunscreen’ pills, whitening pills, anti ageing pills and even ‘deodorant’ pills that make you smell like roses came out after that.

It was one of the most innovative creations in the beauty industry.  So, does collagen supplement really work?

So, here is my take on Shiseido Collagen Powder after trying it for three weeks. Please take it that I only use this as supplement.

Shiseido The Collagen Powder V 

It has very nice pink packaging =)

Shiseido The Collagen Powder V 

Shiseido The Collagen Powder V

Shiseido own cosmetic ingredients (lingonberry + Amla fruit), and a low-molecular fish collagen 5,000mg, hyaluronic acid, ceramide, the cosmetic ingredients such as vitamin C. Powder V type have suppressed the collagen-specific taste/ smell

Shiseido The Collagen Powder V 

It comes in a zip lock bag so it is easy for keeping. Becareful if you plan to pour it into container as the powder is very fine. It is almost like dust.

Some of the ingredients are patented. The collagen comes from fishes which is the best source of beauty food for skin. It is true that collagen will turn into amino acid inside the human body and so the effect will only show on your skin in long run. So, try not to expect immediate effect.

SHISEIDO THE COLLAGEN POWDER V

 This is how the collagen powder look like on plain water. Please do not drink with plain water or it will taste bad. XP


As for the taste, there is no musky or whatever weird taste to it. I use the given spoon to scoop it into my morning coffee. It becomes like creamer which is actually addictive XP. I really have to be happy that I don’t need to endure any horrible taste for beauty. After all, who wants to start their day drinking something awful?

There is slight smell of soy powder to it which is quite nice. I think this is far from the weird smell of collagen in the past.

The Shiseido Collagen powder does show its effect on me although I tried to deny the effects and wanted to praise the skincare products that I was using. I tried not taking it for 1 week and my skin show sign of deterioration-bigger pores and less smooth skin.

Skin is really smooth and pores are smaller. The skin does heal faster even when I pick on it. One of the reasons was the ceramide inside the collagen which is well known to help plump skin, hydrate and heal the skin as well as prevent damage to the skin.

It doesn’t do much for the clogged pores or getting rid of acne so it is not a miracle for all skincare concerns. However, no additional acne when I was on it. Skin is also brighter because of the vitamin C. I am not sure of the hydration part since it looks the same to me. I do like the smooth effect. If only those effect can last forever but nothing last forever right? As for lines, it just reduces the appearance but not gets rid of it.

I think collagen in powder is better than in other form. You can get the same effect by eating a lot of fishes but most of the time, it is not possible because of our lifestyle so there goes beauty supplement like this. Just do not rely on eating collagen alone.

Overall, try to have realistic expectation of what collagen powder can do. Shiseido Collagen Powder V does make my skin looks better than it is. Looking for fish goodness, ceramide, vitamin goodness in form of food or just want to try something new because you skin has ‘plateau’, do have a look at it.

Personally, I think this month subscription is catered more for subscribers in KL. Other subcriber from other states might felt left out of food items so I do hope that Cubecrate will substitute items with something equally of the same price as the Juice and cupcake are full items in the box and some might feel like the get lesser than ones in KL.

I truly prefer the amount of products and things in the March Subscription.

MAY mothers' day theme is open now try them out.
