REVIEW OF RE-GEN OIL

RE-GEN OIL
Re-Gen Oil contains PCL liquid to help skin regeneration as well as essential ingredients including Vitamin A and E, lavendar, Calendula, Chamomile and Rosemary Oils.

I was very curious every time i passed by and see Re-Gen oil on the shelves inside Watsons.  Well, the appearance does look like the duplicate of Bio-Oil and of course i would wonder about the results.  Yeah, since Bio -Oil was a rave among my friends, i wanted to try this too.

The products help to minimize and provide solution for stretch marks, scars, dry skin and blemishes.  I applied it on my face and legs as often as possible ^^.  It smell soothing like rosemary but not strong.  The oil is very watery and not thick at all.  Comparing it to Bio -Oil and Palmer, i would say that Re-Gen oil is the one with very light thick texture.  It is something like water except that it is oil.

My face skin doesn't seem to absorb the oil like a sponge. > <  Wrong move.  On the other hand, my body loves it.  My hands and legs are dry since i don't care about them much at all.  I will just bath with whatever body wash and not apply anything after that.  To my surprise, my legs sucked it up fast and my skin turned smooth.

It is very moisturising for the skin after swimming.  It helps to prevent those dry patches on the skin.  Here is the picture of the scars which was bothering me as it does not disappear by itself  like i hope it would be.  It was there for few weeks after i got allergic caused by using the wrong body shampoo.  My gosh, it sound like i am always having allergic.  I thought that i am having special genes and do not have any skin allergic like the rest of my family but it turns out i am just the same T_T .

RE-GEN OIL

So, you can notice that the scars disappeared faster comparing to just leaving it to heal on its on.
The oil is really long lasting.  Even one packet of 3ml can last me few applications on my limbs and body.


Made in England


RM29.90 for 75ml. Products are available at Watsons and all leading independent pharmacies in Malaysia.

REVIEW ON BIORE UV AQUA RICH WATERY BB SPF50+/PA+++

BIORE UV AQUA RICH WATERY BB SPF50+/PA+++

Here is the 5g Biore BB  UV AQUA RICH WATERY BB SPF50+/PA+++.  It comes in form of cream.

Normally the bb cream i used before is more watery(for examples Maybelline clear smooth bb cream).  Biore bb cream is a bit thicker like a cream but really blend well with my skin.  It really feel like second skin once i apply it on my skin.  It just look so natural on me.  I don't even feel like i am wearing any BB or sunblock ^^.  It is not oily at all.  So, i don't have to worry about the bb cream disappearing from my face especially after few hours.
BIORE UV AQUA RICH WATERY BB SPF50+/PA+++

The colour really suits me well too as i am quite fair.  Some BB cream makes me look darker.  I don't even need to wait for it to set.  It is not sticky or greasy.  I guess it is waterproof as when i used tissue to blot, nothing came out which is good ^^.  As for whether it make my skin more even, cover dullness or brighten the skin, i am not sure since nobody seems to notice anything > < .

BIORE UV AQUA RICH WATERY BB SPF50+/PA+++
Sorry for the lighting.  i am not wearing blusher.  Both actually look natural > <

The coverage is quite light if use little but one can use a few more layer for better coverage or just dab in some concealer.  I would buy it again for the BB cream and also the sunblock since i need some coverage and also the sunblock when my skin is not that good.   I am lazy and having BB cream plus sunblock save me time for my morning skincare. I prefer the extra sleep.  Once good thing is it doesn't break me out.    I dislike anything that cause me clogged pores.  It is made in Japan ^^.  I am going to get it after i finished the sample.

Retailing at RM32.90.

For more information, please visit Biore Malaysia.  This is sample i got during their sample event from Biore Malaysia

REVIEW ON BLOOP MARINE 4 IN 1 PURE ALOE VERA GEL


BLOOP

THE bloop EQUATION: bloop = make up – (the fuss) + Fun x Your Imagination

The information are from HiShop Malaysia.


This cool and refreshing moisturizing gel consists of pure aloe vera extracts that whitens, hydrates, moisturizes and soothes your skin all at the same time. This leaves skin optimally hydrated, smooth and supple. It also protects the skin against free radicals and help you look younger.


The directions given was apply a small amount over dry, cleansed face.


 BLOOP MARINE 4 IN 1 PURE ALOE VERA GEL

Bloop Marine 4-In-1 Pure Aloe Vera Gel (35g)
This is the bottle.  It look really hygienic right?  Besides, it is easy to bring around inside your handbag since it is small.  Depending on how much you need to use, three pumps is enough for my whole face.  It smell a little like licorice.  The smell is very faint and will disappear upon application.  The main ingredient is Aloe Vera and the second is the licorice extract.  I find it really cooling on my face and really help with the healing process as i just break out again.  sob sob.  You can even use aloe vera as mask when you feel that the face is dry and need some hydrating.

I will just apply it on my face for 5minutes and let it dry up.  I am too lazy to it wash it off.  Sometimes, i even use aloe vera on those insect bites to help them heal up.  I think that it does help to lessen those itchiness.  Well, aloe vera is good especially after sunburn ^^.  Just apply them thickly and you will realise that the redness and pain will be reduce a lot.

As i just use it for about one week, i do not yet to notice any whitening effect on my skin but i don't get any darker as i use sunscreen most of the time XD  .  I don't know about anti ageing as i don't have any wrinkles yet.  However i love aloe vera and this is my favourite products as aloe vera is a very useful product even for emergency.  Of course even my family use them when they are "burned" after going to the beach.  Aloe Vera is one of those Must have products at home. ^^

 BLOOP MARINE 4 IN 1 PURE ALOE VERA GEL
This is one pump.It is clear greenish gel.


List of the ingredients- Aloe Vera, Licorice Extract, Aqua, glycerin, Propylene Gylcol,PEG-40 Hydrogenated castor oil, carbomer, phenoxyethanol, methylisothuazolinone,trienthanol,panthenol, CI 42000

REVIEW ON HOE T3 MYCIN CLINDAMYCIN GEL 1%

HOE T3 MYCIN CLINDAMYCIN GEL 1%
This is the 25g tube of Mycin



My skin is not that great to begin with.  I had perfect skin which i took for granted and end up with SEVERE cystic acne when i was 16 years old.  It was a full blown acne eruption that lasted for 10 years.  In the middle of all the eruption  I kept trying products after products to no avail. *that sound like many of us right?*   I can't blame my mum cause people during their time do not have acne even when they virtually don't use cleanser or anything at all.  Moreover, I took the wrong advices and end up having even worse skin than before.  Yeah, I do not have any confidence to meet people and make up is not an option since I am terrible at it.

When BB cream was released in Malaysia, I bought it and use it to cover up the blemishes and everything.  I kept being envious of all those Korean with really nice skin.  How not to be jealous since they have flawless skin?  Just recently, I managed to get it under control and also the reason I started this blog.  To keep track of my skin regime.  This products is one of the products I use when I have acne or the Korean called it trouble skin.  Great skin is what I wish to achieve of course..hahahaha.  My friend complimented that my skin now is 100 times better?  Maybe she did exaggerated a bit but I guessed my skin is now better?

This tube of Mycin is clear and smell a bit like T3.  I am using gel since my skin is combination and it works faster.  T3 Mycin is clindamycin which is an antibiotic.  However, stop using them when the acne heal as prolong usage of antibiotic makes it ineffective.  You don't want to have nothing to use later right?

If you want it to be effective, use it in the afternoon while at night I use something else.  You will need to change some of the lifestyle too and food intake.  Don't take any sugary food or milk especially those sweets.  You can check out the link below for some of the tips to reduce.  I believe diet, lifestyle and also your skincare does play a role and you can see it on your skin.



I still can't say i have flawless skin now but better i guess.  At least i can go out without BB cream if I am lazy now.  Do check some of the links I post up for the long winded way for a better skin.  Hope it will help you.

*a word of caution-don't pop your pimples or acne











what are retinoid ( tretinoin, retin A, tazaroc, adapalene and retinol) in Youtube (1min only)

T3 Mycin retails at Rm27.90 at local pharmacies like Caring pharmacy.  It is for light to moderate acne.

*updated 12/6/2016-someone asked me in email about what is the difference between gel and lotion.  Gel works better for combination skin and oily skin type.  Lotion works slower but it is for dry skin type.  Both are antibiotic for acne prone skin.

REVIEW ON JELLY PONG PONG BON BON LIP GLOSS AND CHEEK CREAM BLUSHER-MACAROON



Remember about the post about HISHOP MAY BEAUTY AMBASSADOR SURPRISE PACK  ?  So, i now i am going to review the Jelly Pong Bon Bon Lip gloss and cheek cream busher-macaroon.


Jelly Pong Pong cosmetic are all really cute (kawai).  If you are into cute looking cosmetics like Etude House, do try them out ^^.  Plus they are really handy as you get two in one and it is really light to bring around ^^.  Only 5.5g.  Besides, their cosmetics are multi-functional, made from botanical ingredients and is strongly against animal testing.

Jelly Pong Pong Gloss Bon Bon Lip Gloss & Cheek Cream Blusher - Macaroon Jelly Pong Pong

JELLY PONG PONG BON BON LIP GLOSS AND CHEEK CREAM BLUSHER-MACAROON
It is so kawaii(cute) right?




One side is the Lip Gloss and the another side is the cheek cream blusher.  It is really good for those that are travelling and still look good ^^.  I love the colour of the gloss,.  It looks really natural on my lips as well as moisturising. ^^  There is no really strong fragrance of any sort and the smell was acceptable to me.  The colour does last on my lips if i am not eating or drink.



It is creamy.I took out too much > <

It is peachy pink ^^

JELLY PONG PONG BON BON LIP GLOSS AND CHEEK CREAM BLUSHER-MACAROON

This is how i look like with the cheek cream blusher and lip gloss ^^


The cream cheek blusher colour is lovely.  Just don't apply too much ^^. It lasted whole day without smudging or fading off and looks natural too.  I prefer tint rather than those powder as their lasting power are longer ^^.




RM39.90 but they currently have discount so it is RM14.90. Made in Italy

REVIEW ON AQUASWIM SHAMPOO, CONDITIONER AND BODY CARE FOR SWIMMERS


Aquaswim is a special range for hair and body care for swimmers that are able to remove the chlorine inside those swimming pool water.  Ordinary shampoo could not neutralise the chlorine when we go swimming.  It is suitable for children as well.  There isn't any strong fragrance that can cause allergic and it is suitable for the whole family.

The sea is beautiful but does not make my hair beautiful by the end of the day > <.  My hair will look, feel and smell like dry wires after playing at the sea.  So, i am really happy to have these three products to try them out ^^.



orange cap:  Aquaswim Antichlorine Conditioner 100ml (RM14.15) ,  200ml (RM25.15)
blue cap:  Aquaswim Antichlorine Shampoo 100ml (RM14.15) , 200ml (RM25.15)
green cap: Aquaswim Antichlorine Body Wash 100ml (RM14.15)




Aquaswim Antichlorine Body Wash 100ml (RM14.15)

Just as the name suggests, Aquaswim Antichlorine Body Wash is to remove chlorine and chlorine odour from the skin and reduce dryness and skin irritation.  It contains natural aloe vera to help moisturise the skin. There is no strong fragrant or any specific odour which is too my liking. My skin always feels very dry after the swimming at the sea but this product is good.  It moisturise my "tree bark" skin.  It doesn't make the skin very soft but it does not leave it dry which is already good enough.  It is a lot better than those cheap Rm10 for 1litre that my mum always buy *sorry mum but i think she won't be reading this*.  For only Rm14.15, it is worth the price since one doesn't have to use "oil or body lotion" after the swim in the sea.

Aquaswim Antichlorine Shampoo 100ml (RM14.15) , 200ml (RM25.15)

I like the shampoo plus the conditioner. I wouldn't suggest you to just use the shampoo alone without the conditioner.  Do not just use the shampoo alone especially after swimming at the sea!!  The salt water plus the sun FRIED the hair nicely into unrecognizable Maggie MEE.  Unless you are fan of Afro style hair, try to be hardworking for the sake of your hair.  Swimming in the sea really damaged the hair a lot.  It is 10times harsher compare to the clorine in swimming pools.

Aquaswim Antichlorine Conditioner 100ml (RM14.15) ,  200ml (RM25.15)

I love this Conditioner. ( How many times had i stressed how much i love it)  The sea water plus the sun is really bad for the hair.  Coarse, dry and totally damaged. It makes my hair soft and repair it immediately.  It is easier to wash the hair too, entangles all the knots and leaves my hair soft to the touch.  I will put the conditioner on the hair first to soften the hair before washing the hair after swimming.  It may be weird but it works rather than keep tugging on the hairs to loosen all those knots.  Besides, one don't have much time if you are using the public toilet and it is uncomfortable to carry too many things inside those tiny cubicles.

My routine after swimming would be Conditioner on the whole hair> Shampoo> Conditioner on the end of hair> Body Shampoo> Face


Sorry, got no time to take picture of my ugly hair.  I don't think anyone want to see a crazy women. > <



Here is after using the shampoo and the conditioner.  My hair is shining ^^. It soften all those roughness cause by salt water.  Do try them out ^^.

Please don't mind my face > <  



Aquaswim Antichlorine Body Wash 100ml (RM14.15)
Aquaswim Antichlorine Shampoo 100ml (RM14.15) , 200ml (RM25.15)
Aquaswim Antichlorine Conditioner 100ml (RM14.15) ,  200ml (RM25.15)

Products are available at Watson, Guardian, Caring and all leading independent pharmacies in Malaysia.

REVIEW ON PHYTOCITRUS RESTRUCTURING SHAMPOO PARIS


This shampoo really smell like oranges and other citrus fruits ^^.  It doesn't lathered up much and i need to use extra to put on my hair.  Whether it does help to repair the hair, i am not sure since i do not have coloured hair yet  > <  .  It does left my hair felt clean and my hair doesn't get oily that fast.  This is suppose to be more moisturizing and gentle for those coloured hair but my scalp is the oily type.  Well, i didn't get the volumizing one so this is also okay.


The deluxe sample i got comes in form of  plastic cap with metal bottle.  It is quite hardy as there isn't a dent on the bottle even when I dropped it on the floor few times.  It is good to recycle it back for travelling =P.  The liquid comes in milky clear orange colour.  This is an organic brand from France.  Dermatologist do recommend this brand too.  The shampoo smell of citrus fruits which I really enjoy.


I heard someone mentioned shampoo for the coloured hair is suppose to be more gentle and makes the hair shinier.  My hair is in okay condition since i don't usually dye it.  So, I am not sure about the shinning effect.  My hair wasn't any particular soft when I use this shampoo so I still need a little conditioner and mask to achieve that soft effect.


For more information, please visit Phyto Paris.

50ml Phytocitrus Restructuring Shampoo is from April Bag of love  .Thanks to The Butterfly Project-Beauty Blogger .

200ml Phytocitrus Restructuring Shampoo retails for  RM88

STORY OF WHAT MR PANDA EATS

SORRY, this is really off topic from my normal entries but so here it is.

Yeah, to have flawless skin one should be eating more vegetables like Panda.
Pandas daily menu consists almost entirely of the leaves, stems, and shoots of various bamboo species.



So, this MR. Panda.  He is so sad =(  

He got sick of the his daily bamboo diet since his wife Mrs. Panda only cooks bamboo shoots everyday. Look at how sad he is??   She thinks that it is good for him since he keeps gaining weight and insists him to go on diet.  He wishes that he could order delicious food from foodpanda but the wife said NO.

So, one day Mr. Panda couldn't take it anymore and he went for a walk.  He ended up here:


Yes, Mr. Panda went into the restaurant after looking at the design.  He decided to order some food.  Look at the menu he ordered:


Then after Mr. Panda gobbled up his food, he:


He fired twice into the air



"Why?" the confused waiter asked Mr. Panda.
"Well, I'm a panda," he said at the door. He throw a badly punctuated dictionary at the waiter and said "Look it up."

The waiter turns to the relevant entry and finds an explanation:

"Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China.  EATS, SHOOTS AND LEAVES








Do check out foodpanda's website.  There are lots of restaurant for food delivery ^^.

Have a great day =)
