REVIEW ON MARY KAY HAND AND DECOLLETE CREAM SUNSCREEN SPF 15

this is the sunscreen for hands and decollete 

mary kay
opaque white.  This is a chemical blocker sunblock.

it will turn transparent after 1minutes

Sorry, my camera just refuse to focus ><

The SPF is only 15 which is really low for our kind of weather unless one just stay indoor.  Application is smooth and easy.  It is not sticky too.  There is a smell that lasted even after 30minutes since I can smell even if I don't purposely smell my own hand.  I was too embarrassed to ask if others could smell something since I use it when I do physical activities.  I don't want someone to be telling me that I smell of sweat > <  .  I can't detect the kind of smell it is but it doesn't make one feel nausea.  I won't purchase this as I prefer a high SPF considering my skin and the weather in Malaysia.

FOOD REVIEW ON PANCAKE HOUSE, NEW SEA VIEW &MING TIEN FOOD COURT




Fish head Noodles
The fish bowl noodles comes in a plastic bowl and I don’t quite like this. It doesn’t look appetizing enough. The vermicelli is hard and the fish is cooked fried until it was too hard for me. I find the fish overcooked, not fresh and there is a strong fishy smell. The milk is not fresh and it may because they kept it overnight inside the fridge or it is some instant milk. The soup was also salty. For the price of RM7, I would expect something better. Overall, this is a miss for me.


On the other hand, the other stalls that sell homemade fish ball is not that bad.  The vermicelli is quite soft and the bean sprout is cooked properly.  There is just not enough vermicelli for my stomach.  The portion is not that big for a hungry person like me so I think it is okay.  Fish-balls are okay and not too chewy but I wouldn't consider it to be very tasty.  Overall, it could be better if it is given serve with more vermecelli and a better soup base.
Rm5.50
Ming Tien Food Court
Location: 10991, Jalan SS24/8, Taman Megah, Petaling Jaya, Kelana Jaya


NEW SEA VIEW


The kuey teow is not harsh or chewy. The pork balls is handmade and i find it quite tasty and the soup do taste good. The soup is clear and not cloudy at all. I find that the spinach fresh and well cooked. There is some intestines but one can opt it out if you do not like it. Overall, this is not a bad place for morning breakfast. However, this place is always crowded and I think that workers could be more trained since they actually sweep all the bits of food onto the floor instead of into the tray that they are carrying.
RM8 per bowl

Pork Noodle Stall @ Restoran New Seaview 猪肉粉 @ 新海景茶餐室
Address: 81-129, Jalan 20/7, Paramount Garden, Petaling Jaya, Kelana Jaya






Pancake house In Midvalley

The service was fast and good. It is quite and everyone would be talking quietly with each other. The pancake set comes with three choice of tea. However, it doesn’t come with milk unless asked. The pancake was soft and totally not sweet at all. The butter comes in form of a cute ice cream scoop and it is not salty at all. The pancake goes well with the fried egg, sausages and hash browns. The sausages were savoury and definitely go well with the pancake. I think this is a good choice for breakfast or just for afternoon snacks.
RM15 perset

REVIEW ON TERATAI FOOD COURT-BANDAR TASIK SELATAN (TBS)



the card that you need to reload and use it to pay for food





Teratai Food Court
Thai Corner
Terminal Besepadu Selatan
1 Pineapple Fried Rice RM5.90
Tom yam Beef Rice RM6.90
Fried Vermicelli RM6.90



This is actually one of the famous stalls at the food court and I do happened to always go here when I am going back to the South. Paying could be a little troublesome as you will need to get the ‘reload card’ before swapping at the counter you want for food. I would advice you to check out the prices of what you want to eat and drink before buying the ‘reload’ to avoid wasting your money.


1 Pineapple Fried Rice RM5.90



Pineapple fried rice is just nice and not too spicy. There is some freshly cut pineapple inside and overall I think it does taste good. This is suitable for someone who doesn’t taste spicy food or any meat in their fried rice. Portion is medium and not too small. One thing I like it the food comes warm and not cold especially on such a cold night inside the bus station. Overall, I would recommend this.






Tom yam Beef Rice RM6.90

Beef fried rice is a little spicy and salty but it goes well with the rice. For sure, one has to eat it with the white rice. The rice is fluffy and am sure it is those fragrant rice which is not common for food court. I couldn’t be more than happy with the generous sauce and also beef. Beef is not hard but a little tender. It comes with petai which I say expensive petai because it is those small and less stinky petai. I love petai so I couldn’t care less how the toilet smell later. I think this plate of rice is not bad. Service is good and fast too.





Omelette Fried Vermicelli RM6.90

Overall, tasty rice and good service from this stall. We made changes after 10 minutes but the lady was not angry with us at all. Instead she allowed us to change it and waived the extra Rm0.30 off. She was so kind even if she is not the boss. Fried rice was not hard and it taste good as it is of good quality rice. I can’t believe that the cook is not even local. This place is a good choice for food as it really changes my opinion about eating at food court. I definitely do not regret eating at this food court every time I have to transit in TBS. Food is affordable too and portion off medium size.

REVIEW ON FREEMAN FACIAL CLAY MASK MINT LEMON





I do like to use clay mask to clean all the dead cells on my skin since I don't go for facial.  So, one have to take care of their own skin.  With the right products, one can actually have their own face spa at home.  i tried it and it is nice =0 .  Just that you will be the one doing it. =P
With the mask

I like clay mask and so I decided to just get this since my friend use this before and well it is cheap.  Yeah, the cheapo in me wanted to try this since I tried other high end brand clay mask before and they were just okay.  The clay mask smell of mint and lemon.  There is a cooling sensation when I applied on my skin.  It does help to clean the skin and reduce the redness on my skin but doesn't remove blackheads as effective as the Zamian Cacao mask.

The clay mask is quite dry and it is hard to press it out of the tube but I know I shouldn’t ask for so much from a very affordable clay mask.  However, it is very easy to wash off and I did not cause my skin to react to it.

I used hot towel or warm water to clean my face first before I applied this clay mask.  It is more effective that way.  I also use warm water to clean off the clay mask, applied booster and sleeping mask afterwards.





Comparing Zamian, TheFaceshop Baby face clay mask, Himalaya neem mask, Zirch clay mask and Borghese.  This is really affordable and it works.   Of course don't expect it to give you the same results of going to the professionals(doctors and dermatologist).  I have trouble skin and also sensitivity so I usually alternate some of my skincare to make them work better.

Products retails at RM15.90.   I bought them at Caring Pharmacy.  There were only two types left when I went in search of it.

FOOD REVIEW ON PORTUGUESE GRILL @ OASIS FOOD COURT

Portuguese Grill @ Oasis Food Court
Location: S-JA3(A), 2nd Floor, Mid Valley Megamall, Lingkaran Syed Putra, Kuala Lumpur.







This place is a cheaper option for those who are afraid of cutthroat price in shopping malls like midvalley. The grill is not bet and it is warm when it arrived. I have to wait about 15minutes for the food. I ordered stingray with lala. The sambal is fragrant, spicy and really goes well with the rice. No wonder many prefer this stalls over other stalls. I think the lala is overcooked and so it is was quite chewy and hard. However, the stingray is delicious and not chewy at all. The lady fingers was soft and nice.

KOREAN SKINCARE TIPS

KOREAN SKINCARE TIPS

Koreans are known for their beautiful skin and flawless skin right?  Usually Koreans have dry skin due to their weather. In Malaysia, our weather is hot and humid. Most people would find that our makeup will melt after few hours unless one is using a very good primer. I find that Malaysian tend to have combination skin due to this kind of weather we have.


Recently in December, my skin was in a bad condition. I have combination skin but with peeling skin and also pimples popping out. Yes, even people with oily skin can have skin peeling from the mouth area. The whitish peeling skin is actually the dead cells caused by not having enough moisture and it does not mean that you do not have enough oil on your skin. Oil can provide temporary relief but the dead skin will return again and I found out the reason.


It was really troublesome having to ‘fix’ my skin troubles one by one again. I guess it is because my age is creeping on me that my skin has actually turned from oily to dry now. Still the acne problem would appear if I don’t take care of it. I can’t use too many skincare product even when my skin is dry as I would definitely breakout from it. Then, I saw this beauty method that I have being doing it wrongly and no wonder my skin is dry!


1. Do not apply the soap/ facial gel/ facial foam on the face directly. Always foam them up first even when there isn’t any foam before using applying them on the face.


2. Wash the face gently and then apply moisturizer directly on the skin after cleansing. Just pat the face with hands if you feel that is too wet. There is no need of using facial cloth to dry the skin.


3. Apply moisturizer within one minute or else your face would already have dead skin cells.


Even people with combination skin+ acne prone skin can develop dead skin cells. These dead skin cells cause the skin to be dull and rough. So, make sure to apply moisturizer when the skin is wet. There is no need for skin cloth. I find that this method really turn my peeling skin into normal! =) I can already feel the difference after three days but results is more visible after 2 weeks into the method. My skin has turn from dry into normal and it had save me from doing more laundry. Who wants to do more laundry right?


I guess it was also the combination of using Zamian mask and Dr.Jart booster that my skin is sure more hydrated now. I am also using mask on every alternate days. I heard Koreans use sheet masks every night. I will be so broke to use sheet masks every night since the cheapest is also RM3 and RM3x30 will cause RM90 per month just for mask alone????? Other than that, there isn’t any change to my diet.


Looking after the skin is sure not easy but everyone can do it.

Ps: Don't use this method if you are using acne/pimples cream since those need to be applied on dry face.  This method is more recommended for those with dry skin.


The skincare tips is from watching the Korean beauty channel and it is not all mine.  The opinions expressed here are my own and honest as always.

FOOD REVIEW ON TAKO TAO-UNAGI TAKOYAKI


Tako Tao
Location: Lower Ground Floor, Jusco Mid Valley Megamall, Lingkaran Syed Putra, Kuala Lumpur, Seputeh, 59200,Kuala Lumpur




Unagi Takoyaki (Japanese Snack)

The Tako stall is actually full with people during weekends and so I usually avoided it when there are too many people. Well, I don’t like to queue and wait 1hour for my food even if it is just snack. It happens to be quite empty and so I decided to buy it. I bought Unagi tako which is more expensive than the octopus, prawn, chicken and cheese. It is not the best but I think it is affordable for the taste it offered. It is quite tasty and warm because mine was freshly made as it is not the usual takoyaki people will order.



Rm5.30 for 3 Takoyaki in a box. You need to make payment at one of the Jusco counter which is quite a distance walk.

REVIEW ON ST.IVES DAILY HYDRATING VITAMIN E







This body lotion is really moisturizing on my skin.  It absorb fast into the skin too.  I find that the smell is amazing too and it does help with the body hydration if I use for a long term.  I think other than that, my body skin is okay but I am getting lazier and so I did neglect my body skin so they are actually dry.

I found out that some apply it on the face as well but I do not dare to do that since my face is kind of sensitive and acne prone while hers is dry.  Overall, this is an affordable body lotion and it does help in hydration.

There are glycerin and glycerin does help to bring in moisturise into the skin.  I just do not dare to use on my face.  I read some use it on their face to moisturise their skin.



Products retails St. Ives Hydra Vitamin E Lotion 621ml Rm25.90 at a Watson and guardian.

FOOD REVIEW KING'S CONFECTIONERY (TBS)










King's Confectionery
Address: Unit L4-39, Fourth Floor, Terminal Bersepadu Selatan, Bandar Tasik Selatan, Kuala Lumpur, Sungai Besi

This is one of the two bakery in the TBS bus station and I notice many would buy from this shop as it is cheaper and because of the location. One would immediately notice this bakery as it is near the escalator.

The cake taste was not hard and the size is quite big for Rm2.70. I think it is worth the money. The chocolate cream is not too sweet and it is just nice. However, I would prefer if there are more chocolates syrup inside the cake but there is none. Overall, reasonable price for a cake. It also come in a nicely plastic box which I think make it looks more expensive than it really is.

Chocolate Sliced at Rm2.70

FOOD REVIEW ON BROTHER JOE IN MERSING

Brother Joe
Address: Stall No. 2, Jalan Sheikh Hassan, Kampung Sri Lalang, Mersing Town










With a weather like this. It is cold and dry, one need to take more water and drinking coconut water is really a good remedy for health. Coconut juice is also good for those who is having ‘demam denggi’. This place is open from the afternoon but people usually visit this place at night for their famous ikan bakar. This is the place that I usually go for my coconut juice and it is just besides the sea so one can enjoy the view of the sea while eating their food. The only thing was the wind might be too strong. Coconut juice is fresh and it is really the young coconut as I always feel really full with just one coconut.
