REVIEW ON DR.CHECK HYDROCOLLOID DRESSING-DUPE OF DUO DERM HYDRO COLLOID DRESSING?

While other people are talking about all sort of ways to get rid of acne and the scars, many were talking about the amazing Duo Derm hydrocolloid dressing for healing acne.  Just google and I can see so many were talking about how amazing Duo Derm on getting rid of the pain and help with healing acne.

Unfortunately in Malaysia we do not have Duo Derm in the local pharmacies.  Personally I tried Nexcare so many times to no avail.  Maybe it is just my skin that is not compatible with Nexcare. I tried it many times but I have to surrender to the fact that it won't work for my type of acne.  I think Nexcare won't work on cystic acne or the type that is already inflamed because of picking on it. I have itchy hands and I just can't help it. Yes, I pop every single pimples even knowing that it will cause more damage. Please don't POP your acne.  So, back to my story here.

I was literary checking out every pharmacies for this Duo Derm hydrocolloid.  Of course, after hearing so many good wonders about it, I am very INTERESTED.  I found this DR.Check when was going shelves to shelves in Watsons.  I bought it immediately as if it doesn't work on my acne, at least I can use for cuts or as first aid.  This hydrocolloid dressing is actually a type of band aid so one could it even in emergency and not just on acne itself.

There are two type of packaging but I only have this one because the other finished.

 

One need to get rid of the protective wing like plaster.  Paste it on the wound.  The only take out the blue seal.  The hydrocolloid will turn into jelly type of plaster after 1hour.

This how the hydrocolloid looks on the skin

It is basically almost transparent if a person see you from far.


Overall, it does help to get rid of the pain and heal the acne faster than Nexcare.  If you are looking for something to help the broken skin cause by picking on it, then I would recommend this.  It won't work for cystic acne-the type that is just deep painful but doesn't have bump on top of the skin.

Products retails at about RM10 for a 10 hydrocolloid dressing at Watsons. I am not sure if one can find it elsewhere.  I saw it in Watsons Midvalley. There is also the one piece which you can cut into smaller pieces.  I would suggest one to  buy that because it works better than this smaller 'band aid' version.

Makeup with GEO ANA45 color Nine Moon Gray

REVIEW ON HUMAN NATURE OVERNIGHT ELIXER

Beauty oil has become quite an important skincare items now especially for mature skin (30 and above).  In contrast to what most people think, beauty oil does not clog pores.  I mean beauty oil that are specially made as skincare products.  Of course I don't mean those cooking oil because cooking oil and beauty oil are two totally different things.

Beauty oil contains ingredients to help with moisturising the skin and also help in healing without clogging the pores.  So, cooking oil and beauty oil are not the same.

Overnight elixer is Human Nature first product is in PRESTIGE skin care range, it's made with pure botanical active oils such as elemi oil, lavender oil, rosehip oil and sunflower seed oil - basically the best of the best! It comes with a dosing pump and instructions on how to massage on to your skin to get maximum results. See the difference in as little as one week! You'll see skin that is softer, more luminous, with a more even complexion and with better resistance against breakouts and irritation.


Ingredients: Elemi (pili) oil, Lavender essential oil, Naturally-derived triglycerides, Passionfruit seed oil (Passiflora edulis), Rosehip oil, Rosemary extract, Soybean oil, Sunflower oil, Tocopherol (natural Vitamin E), Organic avocado oil, Rosemary essential oil

I got two vials of the overnight elixer which I can say smell so nice, I keep sniffing the bottle since I like the smell of rosemary very much.  The oil has medium texture.  It is not watery nor too thick.  Once the oil absorb into the skin, I can really feel that my skin is much plump and well moisturised.  No greasy feeling left on the skin.  So, don't worry that one will wake up with oily face.  My skin texture is very much softer than without using the oil.  I think Overnight Elixer would work great for mature skin to reduce the fine lines and wrinkles =) .  If you are asking if it works to get rid of pimples or acne-I don't think it does but it will sure reduce the scars (not those holes)  and reduce redness.

I find that using a few drops is enough for the whole face and neck =) . So, a bottle of 30ml will last more than 3months.  It is indeed an item for those who like beauty oil.

My dark circles and eye bags is reduced but of course it is not some plastic surgery where it can get rid of eyes bags in just few days.I think it is because my eyes' fat pocket is just too big and it is genetic. XP

I tried Marula Oil before and this is the cheaper version of it.  It similar to Marula Oil but different in texture and smell.  I do like beauty oil and I think both works great on my skin.  My fine lines is reduce and I think it might help with reducing wrinkles in long run.  Human Nature product are 100% natural so do not worry about it containing any harmful ingredients for your skin.



Purchase the elixir with any facial care bundle and you'll get RM30 off each bottle (limited to 2 bottles per order)! Discount is deducted automatically at checkout but remember to sign in with a username or password in order to enjoy the special price.

MAKEUP: TUTORIAL FOR SIMPLE WATER GODDESS OR WATER NYMPH

I always wanted to try doing different kind of makeup for some costume party but obviously my skills is sure lacking.  I would tried to avoid makeup  as much as I do no matter how much I like to see it on others.

So, here I am trying a different kind of makeup today.  It is actually simple and easy to do it yourself at home.

1. Put up circle lens such as GEO ANA45 Color Nine Moon Gray.
2. Apply CC cream.  I like to use latex sponge since I am not good with hand application.
3. Apply eyeshadow and eyeliner. *sorry* I am obviously lacking in eyeshadow application.
4. Then apply some coral pink lipstick.
5. Add some hair accessories-mine is actually made from beads.
6. Lastly wear some white or bluish dress and you look is complete

the subtle grey colour of GEO ANA45 Color Nine Moon Gray 

Here is the list of the products used:
1.Contact lens from Uniqso
2. eyebrow pencils
3. pencil eye liner
4. Blue eyeshadow
5. Pink lipstick
6. clear lipgloss
7.  shimmery powder
8. DIY beads

GEO ANA45 Color Nine Moon Gray

GEO brands contact lens is actually very comfortable and my eyes doesn't feel dry even after 6 hours of wear.

The GEO ANA45 Color has actually very subtle colour so it is wearable even on normal days without looking odd.  One can only notice the differences if they are 1cm away from you.  The enlarging effect is natural enough to make people feel that 'there is something but again nothing'.

REVIEW ON HUMAN NATURE SUNFLOWER BEAUTY FACE OIL

Hi readers,
I have been curious about this product and thus choose to try this out when there are so many products in the Down to Earth website.  Yes, I know I am also just like most of you.  My eyes and my rational thinking will be thrown out of the window the moment I see skincare beauty products especially when their products are generally very affordable and they are all 100% natural.  I understand that most natural products out there are generally more expensive but here I am reviewing another products but equally good and kind for your pocket too. =)

HUMAN NATURE SUNFLOWER BEAUTY FACE OIL BOTTLE

Quick Overview
Our #1 bestselling product.... 21 beauty miracles in one bottle!

Packed with vitamins A, D and E. Perfect for getting rid of those dark under-eye circles, or run a drop through your hair for extra shine. You can even use it as a gentle but effective eye makeup remover, or to erase those stretch marks. It can soften cuticles or moisturize your soles. Great for lightening scars or pimple marks. Yeah, seriously. And the list goes on

The finest oil distilled until the molecules cant get any smaller, so they dont clog your pores. It's almost as light as water!

Natural Ingredients:Sunflower oil

HUMAN NATURE SUNFLOWER BEAUTY FACE OIL-CAN YOU SEE THE HEART SHAPE SEAL?

I know it sound so much like the Bio Oil, Palmer's oil or NUXE oil right?

It would be a lie if I told you that it is a miracle so that is why I had not use this word on any skincare products.  It works but I think more for dry skin type especially to soften the lips, body, soles and dry hair ends.

This is a handy product to carry especially when you are travelling.  The bottle is very light and there is a sticker that would leave a stain the moment you tear it off.  It actually very pretty to specially design it be in form of heart shape =).  Becareful when you press on the pump since the oil may just 'shoot' off.  It happens with me O_o . *clumsy*

The oil smell just like sunflower oil and it is a little yellowish so there is nothing special about it.  The uniqueness of this oil lies in the texture.  The oil absorb into the skin fast leaving no trace of oil on the skin. It has the texture of essence which is runny and watery.  No sticky feeling afterwards. So, it is good for those who dislike oily feeling.  On the hair, it will make the hair soft and tame down all those hairs.  You could use it to protect the hair from hair dryer.

can you see the differences?

My lips is so dry that it is full with cracks and applying this help reduces the condition.

I tried it on my eyes area and it doesn't cause oil of anything of that sort.  Instead it help with the fine lines I have around my eyes.=) I like to use to the sunflower oil to moisturise my lips at night instead of petroleum jelly.  It works the same as petroleum jelly.  No greasy feeling or weird taste for sure.

You could use it as body oil since it is doesn't make your skin greasy.  Very good to moisturise the skin.  One bottle could last you very long and the price is sure affordable.  This Human Nature sunflower beauty oil is different from the cooking sunflower oil.

REVIEW ON CYBER COLOUR CKIN POWER WHITE CC CREAM SPF50

Hi, I just realised that I did not put in my reviews.  XP Please forgive me.  By the way, this is the Cyber Colour Ckin Power White CC Cream SPF50.

List of ingredients

CC cream contains higher percentage of water so it is more hydrating compared to BB cream.

full blended.  It is so natural!

This is a CC cream that is really waterproof and even sweat-proof.  It wouldn't budge even a little once it is blended at all.  The coverage is really high as you can probably notice that the cut on my hand was fully covered and the results is really natural.

I would say I was shocked that my skin was so flawless that I was like "plastic Barbie Doll" after applying it.  The only problem is once have to use the makeup remover or oil type of cleanser to really remove it.  Cleaning it with just foam cleanser won't do anything.  Seriously, I think this is one really good CC cream if one plan to go to the beach for a swim and is very insecure of not wearing anything on the face.

SKINCARE TIPS: HOW TO USE TONER OR MIST (THE KOREAN/ASIAN WAY)

Hi everyone.  I hope you have a good day =0.  As for me, life is mixture of happiness and worries at the same time.  It is already 5 months since the last rain here in Malaysia.  It is having drought here.  Even the floor cracked and the green trees turned brown.  What a sad looking environment.  For those coming to Tioman Island, be prepared for the water problem.  There is water restriction and it is already 2months.  The restriction is not lifted yet.  Gosh, everyday I have to keep water for the next day.  Wash my clothes only when there is water supply and worry if my water supply is enough to last me till the day with water.

On other hand, I get some comments about liking my blog and of course this gets me to write more =) .  I am just a small unknown blogger but comments from readers make me feel that my blog is worth reading.  In fact, it made me feel like I am on the 'right track' =)  .

So, here I am today to just share about how to use toner or mist properly.  I wouldn't say correctly since the beauty world keep changing especially the method of using cosmetics products.  So, what I share here would just be the most current trend of using toner in appropriate way.  I am not a genius so I would also 'do trial and error' on different type of toners.  Forgive me or do share with me if there is any more current way of using toner or mist.

Using Toner

What I mean is the western toner-
just swipe at the T-zone and then the U-zone

Korean toner& Japanese toner-
Their toner are actually different from the western one and I am using the word 'toner' here to avoid confusion.  If you want to know the differences between western toner and Asian 'toner', check Here.
So, the usage for Asian toner (lotion) is generally different and for different purposes.  So, ways of using toner/lotion is also different if you want the best results.

1. Use a cotton pad and wet about 3cm of your cotton.  Don't make it too wet up to point of dripping.
2. Hold with the cotton pad wrapping your middle finger.
3.  Swipe your U-zone and then your T-zone.
4.  Turn the cotton pad around.  Use the other side of the cotton pad (not the one you used to swipe) to pat it on your face.  Pat about 3-5times on each area.

It is really fast if you are use to it.  One can see the differences in between 3-5 days with this method compare to just the swipe method.  Not meant to be use with western toner.


Mist Usage

Make sure the mist is about 1meter from your skin and don't spray directly on your skin as it will sure shock your skin and leave watermarks on your skin.  It will dry your skin too!  Please make sure that it is skincare mist as there are skincare Mist and makeup Mist especially for Korean skincare products.  Most Asian will use mist to cool down their face and when they feel dry especially in air-con room.

1. Spray from 1 meter distance (the length of your arms).
2.  Pat the mist on your face.
3. Follow up with other skincare products.

There are no products recommendation.  The opinions expressed here are my own and honest as always.

FOOD REVIEW ON SYED ALI RESTAURANT

This is the mixed rice but beware it is spicy for those who are not use to Malaysian Chillies.

Here is the price for everything

tosai telur

Tosai telur

The food here had deteriorated in taste.  I wonder why.  The tosai telur came with a little of water as you can see from the plate.  I guess probably it is because now that they are too busy since there is  a lot of customer patronising this restaurant that the quality has drop.  If you are seated at the back of the restaurant, then you will get the view of the restaurant and it is nicer than sitting inside the restaurant.


Tioman is currently beautiful with very green water.  There are a lot of tourist visiting too now.  =)  Anyway, becareful with your belonging and things since it has become dangerous.

I wrote about this restaurant some time ago so if you want to know more then check this out Here  .

REVIEW ON BEAUTY CLINIC MEDIHEAL LEMON ADE MASK

 BEAUTY CLINIC MEDIHEAL LEMON ADE MASK

 BEAUTY CLINIC MEDIHEAL LEMON ADE MASK

Sorry for the blur, I took it long ago before I bought a new camera.
I tried the Cacao ADE mask before and it smell amazing just like this one.  The fit is great and it does brighten up my dull skin.  I like this fit as the mask is stretchable and it is fit my small face.  Most mask are too big for my face. It is quite troublesome for me to cut those wet mask.  Again, it doesn't drip and I think one can see obvious effect within 2-3 usage compare with other type of mask.  Overall, I do like this mask more than others as it doesn't drip and it is really comfortable.

I am not sure about the brightening effect as I do not notice them.  So sorry for there is no photos.  It is moisturising and cooling on the weather like Malaysia.  Can't believe it is 40 degree here.

FOOD REVIEW ON LUCKY STAR SEAFOOD RESTAURANT 好运海鲜饭店

The Chicken feet noodles comes with the chicken feet.  There are two version of it but I wanted to try the one with chicken feet.  The chicken feet does taste good and it is soft and not hard at all.  The seller must have clean the chicken feet well as there weren’t any smell at ll.  The noodles on the other is just right and tasty.  I love the mushroom as it is soft and juicy indeed.  The portion is quite big and not small at all.  The stall only sell on Sunday after 6.30pm.  Weird?

Rm3.50 per bowl

Wantan mee comes generously with all the wantan, cooked spinach that is

Too bad, they had changed owner to another person.  SO, no more these food.
