MARY COHR DOUBLE ACTION EXFOLIATOR's  ingredient

Exfoliating the skin has become important nowadays for a flawless skin.  It is important to remove the dead cells that is accumulated on our skin.  Even skin specialist would suggest using certain ingredients or procedure to help the skin to shed those dead cells for a healthy skin.  So, here comes the exfoliator to do the job.

MARY COHR DOUBLE ACTION EXFOLIATOR

The exfoliator contains scrubs and one can actually feel it so make sure to use it on wet skin to reduce the friction on the skin.  If your skin is really sensitive, I would suggest you NOT to USE this kind of exfoliator as you may end up with red skin.

It does it jobs in exfoliating the skin as I can feel that my skin is much cleaner and brighter.  Mary Cohr double action exfoliator doesn't dry the skin at all since it contains sweet almond oil in it.  My skin is still much moist after exfoliating it.  Just don't go over or scrub hard your skin too many times with this kind of exfoliator.  Just glide the exfoliator over the skin once is more than enough.  Leave it for two minutes for the enzyme to help disolves the cells.

The exfoliator sure smell pleasant like papaya since it contains papaya extract to help with the exfoliating the dead cells.  We do need to get rid of the dead cells but of course don't do it everyday.  One in a week is enough for sensitive skin.



Mary Cohr Double action exfoliator retails at RM158.  Made in France.

TRAVEL: HOW TO COME TO TIOMAN ISLAND VIA PUBLIC TRANSPORT? (PART 1)

I have been staying in Mersing for some time and sorry to say that every time I was about to go to Tioman Island, something will happen.  So, I don't really know when I will have the chance to go to Tioman Island.

This is the post that I have been holding for almost ancient now because of my procrastination too and since I need to venture out a little from just writing about beauty all the time.

Everyone has been telling me how beautiful Tioman Island is and nobody knows where is Mersing town but when I mentioned about Tioman Island, everybody knows it.  So ramble aside, I will break the post into many posts since there is quite a lot to write about since one post is not enough.


First, I would suggest not to take night bus to this town-Mersing because the Mersing bus station will empty and it is dangerous.  The only thing you will see will probably be stray cats.  Even if you decide to take the night bus from TBS(Bandar Tasik Selatan station) Kuala Lumpur, one will probably reach at around 3am in the morning and so there are only 3 places that you could wait until the sun rises.  Well, you could look for hotels but it won't be worth the money since normal check in is about 1pm.  No taxi service here so you will have to rely on your two legs to walk from one end to another end.
_______________________________________________________________________________
From TBS (bandar Tasik Selatan) , there are three companies that offer bus to Mersing-Transnational, S&S International and another one which I wouldn't suggest to take.  Expect 7 to 8hours by bus unless the bus driver is driving like a Formula1 driver in car race.  The buses will stop few times so do not get down until you have reach Mersing bus station.


S&S International link to check the price, number of seats available and date that you are going.  Please put Kuala Lumpur TBS as there are two main bus stations in Kuala Lumpur.  All the bus that goes to the south is in TBS while buses to the North operated at Pudu.  Personally, I dislike service at Pudu because of so many bad experiences I had.


Transnational link to check the price, number of seats available and date.  Please put in Kuala Lumpur.  I prefer to take the earlier bus at 9am so that I will reach in the afternoon.  Carry some food with you as I do not like the place where they stop for a break.  Food is too expensive and with flies flying around.

From Johor Bahru or the bus station larkin, there are the causewaylink and also S&S International.  I always take Causeway because the trips are more frequents and faster.  It takes about 2hours to reach if it is Causeway buses.  Others takes 3hours.

From Malacca, there is three trips per day and that is S&S International .  Expect about 3.5 hours journey. I would suggest one to go on a trip to Malacca first before coming to Mersing instead of going direct to Tioman Island. I wrote about my trip to Malacca Here and Here.

Word of caution, check if it the first day of school holiday, public holiday (Hari Raya, Chinese New

Okay, so once you reach the bus station.  The Mersing bus station looks like this.

the photos look nicer than in reality

where the ships are

where all the bus counters are-there is only one row.  behind this counter is the market

bus counters

one travel tours and closed up shops-nothing here

bus from Johor Bahru

KFC is the place you should use as your direction. On the left of the photos there is a pathway.follow it

further up the road to the KFC-look for this

Then look for KFC.  That is where all the hotels and other amenities are.  If the 'sea'(where all the ships are parking)  is behind you, then take the left road.  You could see the KFC further ahead.  There is actually understructure pathway on the left side of the photo but it is not in the photos. You could follow the pathway.

 The right road lead to the Pasaraya Kini- a local supermarket.

If you don't see KFC after walking for 10minutes(walk very slow) then you are probably lost.  If you see Timotel Hotel, then for sure you are lost.

Lastly,

DO NOT COME TO TIOMAN ISLAND AT THE END OF THE YEAR!THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE!  DO NOT COME ALONE!

MY CURRENT SKINCARE ROUTINE FOR 2014

"I love my skin"

Yes, most of us will love our skin only when it is nice and most of the time it is acting like an emotional teenager.  I tend to neglect my skin when it was nice but now I am  a skincare junkie and I love skincare products more than makeup because I think having a good skin is better than 'hiding' it under a thick layer of makeup.  I have very low self image when my skin is bad  although I know everyone is not looking at me but I still do feel down.  I usually wear very little makeup because I am lazy and I like to just go out with my bare skin if I'm in a hurry.

I use up skincare products faster than makeup.  My skincare products may change but the routine goes about the same or maybe a few tweak here and then.  All I can say having a good skin is not a walk in the park since I have troublesome skin.  Well, everything comes with a price.  If you are hardworking, then it will show in long run.

I have a few skincare routine depending on the condition of my skin.  Most of the time especially when I am travelling, my skin tend to get super dry because I couldn't carry out my normal skincare maintenance.  I am a light traveller and so do not carry many skincare products that I usually use.  I usually bring only cleanser and moisturiser with me which is actually not enough for me at night. XP

Sorry, not naming all the skincare products as the skincare products is too long and besides, I change some of the skincare products one at a time.  There is a few long time favourite but I just could not be loyal to only one  masks, serum and essence.  I know most people would run over to the dermatologist for whatever small reasons but since the place I am staying is inconvenient, I have to care for it myself.  Most of the skincare products are of mixture and not just from one particular brand.  These products can be found in Malaysia either in drugstores, Sasa, local pharmancies or shops.  I bought some online but not everything since I do like the feeling of browsing and choosing the products myself =).

Normal maintenance for morning
cleanser
toner (optional) sometimes I use and most of the time, I just skip it.
moisturiser (currently Kiehls)
sunblock

normal maintenance at night
makeup remover (If I wear makeup&physical type of sunblock)
cleanser
booster
serum
moisturiser (loving the Kahina argan oil)

Pampering session (alternative)
cleanser
pore pack/scrub
clay mask/mud mask
booster
serum/essence/ampoule (don't have favourite yet) (optional)
sheet mask- I have many (optional)
moisturiser
sleeping mask (no favourite yet) (had tried many in the past including few famous ones)


Trouble skin care
cleanser
mandelic essence/Clindamycin/sulfur/differin (make sure the skin is dry before applying the acne 'medicine' on face)
moisturiser at the area not affected (I alternate these products to be effective)
beauty oil (love beauty oil)
sunblock(day time only)  I use La Roche Posay and Biore

I usually don't use this trouble skin care for a long term since they might turn ineffective later.  I also usually alternate the clindamycin, sulfur and differin and make sure I don't use all of them on the same time.  Trust me, nothing good comes from using too many of acne prone products at the face at the same time.  It will only results in red inflamed skin that will need weeks and months to heal.

What I noticed is that most with acne prone skin tend to change their whole skincare products to those wrong ones.  Many are unsure of their skin type and thus tend to use the wrong products which cause more pimples to pop up later.  Acne prone skin doesn't need tons of skincare products but they need a very good light sunblock, some acne products and some detox to help with it.

Please do not ignore the pimples popping out as it usually indicate something is wrong with the way you take care of your skin, lifestyle or your hormones (Number.1 havoc for acne).  I do detox my skin once in a week by drinking herbal tea such as Trudox, Japanese green tea or some herbal tea.

REVIEW ON ELIANTO BRILLIANT RICHE LIP COLOUR

"Everyone needs a sun in their life."

Elianto is one of the stores that offers really affordable makeup for every kind of budget. It is one of the stores that I still visits whenever I need to buy something without making my wallet bleed. Now, they have online store that makes shopping very much easier since it is delivered to your house's footsteps.




Every woman will sure need a lipstick of lipgloss even if you are the type that doesn't makeup much like me. Now, we would tend to buy makeup that doesn't budge by the end of the day as it is troublesome to touch up all the time.

Introducing to you Brilliant Riche lip colour that is very friendly to your pocket.

Ingredient list of ELIANTO  BRILLIANT RICHE LIP COLOUR

ELIANTO  BRILLIANT RICHE LIP COLOUR

ELIANTO  BRILLIANT RICHE LIP COLOUR

01 In Love

01 In love is nude light orange.  I would suggest one to use this as the lip concealer as it would works great to compliment other colour.

02 Blooming

I love this colour the most since it is bright cherry pink as it compliments my complexion without looking too obvious.  I am just into bright colour this and this makes me look cheerful too.

03 Blissful

03 Blissful is orange pink which is a everyday colour that will suit most people.  It gave one a hint of colours without being too obvious.  This is a colour that is suitable for most people regardless of age.

04 Sexy

04 Sexy is a muted pale pink which can compliment all skin tones.  As it is not too bright, this would work for everyday make up. This is suitable for make up with smokey eyes too.

05 Groovy

Groovy is a bright plum colour and it looks like deep purple on my lips actually.  Personally not my favourite colour for daily use but definitely great if for cosplay makeup as evil queen.

06 Wild

06 Wild is just like the name itself which show a wild side of a girl. The texture is very much just like tint. The colour is actually very bright blood red. I think it is most suitable for vampire kind of makeup especially for Halloween or Snow White's red lips.  This is certainly a colour that all women should have in their lipstick collection.  Among all the colours, I find this is the one lasted through the day on my lips.

SWATCHES OF ELIANTO  BRILLIANT RICHE LIP COLOUR

ELIANTO BRILLIANT RICHE LIP COLOUR




The lipgloss is very pigmented and waterproof. It won't budged even when I rub it off my lips with tissues.


Personally, I find that all the lip colours are very long lasting and the colour sure did not fade one bit by the end of the day. I don't need to retouch the lipstick colour the whole day if you are just drinking since it doesn't transfer to glass. The colour doesn't stain the cup so do not need to worry about the stains or eating the lipgloss into our stomach. The colour only disappear a little after eating. There are also variety of the colour so I am sure that you would find the colour that you like. Besides, the colour is sure very bright, pigmented and I love them very much. This is sure handy when you are looking for long lasting lip colours since these lip colours are very pigmented and on a budget.


It is only RM25 and I think the price is much lower than most long lasting lipgloss, stain and lipstick.



Tips:Make sure that you apply it on a dry lips or else the stain resistant feature wouldn't work. One thing about stain proof makeup is cleaning it so I would suggest to use oil based makeup remover or petroleum jelly. Normal cleanser might not be able to clean it.




Available in shades ranging from bright nude to deep red: In Love, Blooming, Blissful, Sexy, Groovy and Wild at RM25

REVIEW ON SEPHORA JOB'S TEARS MASK (WHITENING&MOISTURISING)

SEPHORA JOB'S TEARS MASK (WHITENING&MOISTURISING)

Job's Tears Whitening & Moiturising Mask (1 Piece)
RM 10.00
Job's Tears Whitening & Moiturising Mask (1 Piece) by Sephora

- Used to achieve replumped skin with a natural fair complexion.
- Features natural job's tear's seed extract that provides a water-refill action for day-long moisturization.
- Lightens skin to improve skin tone
- Logo paper mask for better absorption of essence
- Closely adheres to the contours of your face enabling free movement
- Suitable for all skin types

Direction for use:
1. Remove the mask from the sachet.
2. Apply the mask to cleansed face.
3. Take off the mask after 20 minutes. There is no need to rinse.

Apply 3 or more times a week for ideal results.

The mask is for whitening and moisturising.  Personally the mask is quite big for my face but I think most would find it suitable for their face as it is the wider than the normal sheet masks.  I can't get the smell of how job's tear smell like and I think this smelt something like pumpkin mask I tried before.

The cotton mask is soft and imprint with the Sephora logo.  Not bad for a sheet mask I guess.
Of course, one mask won't make me look any brighter so I would probably need a few of this to see the effect.  It is good to cool down the face and hydrate the face I guess.


Products retails at RM10 per piece from Zalora or Sephora outlets.  Made in China.
