List of ingredients for Arpivita Propoline Shampoo for colored hair

This is an organic brands from Greece and if you are anyone who love organic products, then you would love it.

I got a few samples from Honeyz Cube and so I tried this shampoo.

It is a wrong conception that you could not use shampoo meant for coloured hairs. Shampoo for coloured hairs are gentler and so it would your hair especially after a day at the beach.

The shampoo is made with honey, smells sweet and soothing. It has a clear yellowish tint just like how honey would like but of course without the sticky feeling.

It lathers up well and there is good amount of foam.  The shampoo cleanses the hair well without drying. I don’t even need conditioner after using this shampoo.  Next time, if you get organic shampoo and it is for colored hair, you can use it =) .  It won't hurt your hair.


SGD 30.   Made in Greece.
Do go and check their website and Honeyz Cube facebook as they always have competition and free samples to redeem! They also have a shop and they sure give lots of free samples =).

FOOD REVIEW: MERSING SEAFOOD RESTAURANT (THE PORT BEFORE GOING TO TIOMAN ISLAND)

This is the restaurant that I will patron most of the time. The reason is because their food has the most value for money compare to other restaurant. The portion is big and the price is cheaper than the other Chinese restaurant available in Mersing. It is just next to Guardian.



This is a Chinese restaurant which is not Halal as they do have liquor and pork. If you see a closed sign, it means all the tables are full. Unless you are willing to wait outside which might take one hour for a table, then look for other restaurant. It is uncommon here as people here don't wait for table unlike in big cities.



When you enter, only seat at the table without pork or spoon as it indicate it is empty. Tables with pork, chopstick, plates and spoons on the table or different colour table colour clothes shows that the table is already reserved for someone.



I like that they have the table clothes as it looks neat and clean. It is fully air conditioned and there is also free wireless internet service. I think the decorations inside the restaurant are simple. This restaurant doesn't have a menu book but rest assured because the person who takes your order can speak and understand English. I always see other tourist coming into this restaurant for food.



What is good to eat here?



I would recommend going for their selection of dishes and not noodles as the comparison between their dishes and noodles are far. Their dishes are way far better than their noodles.

Bean curd in the clay pot

Bean curd in the clay pot is so fresh and crunchy. The vegetables is cooked just nice and the tofu was generous as the pot is fill up and enough for four person. The sauce is very fragrant and goes well with your rice. One can't help but keep on scoping the sauce up to the last drop.

kangkung

Love the kangkung with sambal belacan. I find the kangkung is cooked just nice. It is so crunchy that there is sound when I bite into it. The sauce with sambal belacan is just perfect to go with the rice and not too salty or watery. I think this is one dish that one should order if anyone wants to try the taste of Malaysian food. I love this very much and can't help but order this one every time I visit Mersing Seafood restaurant.

shark's meat with dry chilies

I ordered shark's meat with dry chilies as I prefer spiciness. You could ask for other suggestion considering that everyone may have special preferences or dislikes. The fish is very well cleaned and so the meat does not have any fishy smell. Usually, there will be too many dried chilies and onions but very little of meat in other restaurant. However, it is different here. There is a lot of the shark's meat and it is cooked just right because the meat retains it freshness and taste. I love this dish very much but this dish is not available all the time due to the weather and people here don't eat shark's meat.

A pot of chinese Tea RM3 (refillable with hot water)
Rice RM1 per plate
Fish RM 15
Meat RM 18
Vegetables RM 8
Bean Curd RM12

No sure about price of beer here.

Non Halal

REVIEW ON ETUDE HOUSE PRINCESS HAPPY ENDING ROSE CHEEK BLUSHER #1 PINK SHINE ROSE

"I wanted some much more than they've got planned"

The quotes are printed at the side of the box for the rose blusher for Princesss Happy Ending Belle.

This is Etude House Princess Happy Ending Rose Cheek Blusher  that has yet to be available in Malaysia.  It is from the Etude House Princess collection and here is the Belle’ Blusher.

There are two colours for the blusher- 1# Pink Shine Rose and 2# Coral Rose .

The box is actually design to look like a book. Yes, one can’t help falling in love with Etude House’s products that are just so pretty and fit for princess.  I don't even have the heart to throw such beautiful design book away.

Here is how the box looks

the side of the box

the back of the box

 Sorry can't read the Korean words but it is sure pretty to look at.

ETUDE HOUSE PRINCESS HAPPY ENDING ROSE CHEEK BLUSHER

The blusher itself it is made from light good quality plastic. It is in pink with good printing as the colour doesn't fade away.  Gold colour makes it look more luxurious.

back of the blusher

the rose blusher

 Inside, there is a rose embossed on the blusher. It looks just so pretty and I find it is a little like Milani blusher which also has rose embossed. Well, this blusher is sure cheaper than other pretty looking blusher available around too.

It is so pretty that I don't have the heart to even use it but well I still have to use it someday.

the rose blusher

 The blush itself has a very light scent of roses =) .

Here is the swatches

The blusher feels really soft and fine.  The blush has a pearl light pink colour.  So, one might need to apply many more layers for the colour to show.  I think it is meant for people with very light skin tone or for those nude makeup or princess makeup.  I think that this blusher would work better as a highlighter on my face.  The colour stays for a few hours unless one rub it off.

I am sorry that I didn't post up the photos of the blusher on my face because really, one can't see the colour on my face unless I edit the photos.



Etude House Princess Happy Ending Rose Cheek Blusher 2 Colors 4.8g at ($ 10.29 USD)  Sale Price: ($ 8.75 USD). Made in Korea.

You can get it at BeautyNetKorea. It is a company in South Korea.  They shipped internationally.

REVIEW ON CONI BEAUTY'S WHITENING BLACK JELLY MASK

Hi Shop Pink box

Here is the Hi Shop pink box bringing beauty skincare here. =)

We need to clean our pores before using other skincare products on our face. This why there are some products to exfoliate our skin. I was very much intrigued when I saw this mask on the Taiwan beauty show and was really surprised at the very low price.  However, do not look down on it since it is cheap and affordable compare to other masks.

If you have trouble skin like me or congested pores, then you will probably need to try this one out.

Coni Beauty's Beauty Whitening Black Jelly Mask (20ml)

  Coni Beauty's Beauty Whitening Black Jelly Mask (20ml)

The link to the product Here

Coni Beauty's Beauty Whitening Black Jelly Mask (20ml)
Instruction on how to use it

The jar is made from light plastic and it is matte black.  It is easy for travelling as I do not like to carry heavy jar of products.  Most of the words are in Chinese.  Sorry, I can't read them.


I could only guess that it is the usage instruction of applying the mask about 0.3cm after washing the face.  Leave the mask for about 30minutes.  Then, use the cotton pad to wipe it the mask off before washing it off with warm water.

Coni Beauty's Beauty Whitening Black Jelly Mask that is very black

The mask is black in colour and it has a very subtle metallic shine on it. I sure feel like I am applying roses on my face.  The colour is because this mask is specially made from the rare black Rose and diamond charcoal which functions is to clean the pores from pollution and also to moisturize the skin. I love the heavenly cooling feeling of the mask especially during such hot weather .


The dark black colour might shock everyone but it sure does it job in cleaning the skin without the tight and dry feeling.  It looks as if I am applying charcoal on my face and  I don't mind looking silly for 20 minutes before revealing beautiful skin.  Try to do this when no one is around or for Halloween purposes as I am sure you do not want anyone to have a nightmare from looking like you are having charcoal on the face.

The jelly mask has very soft pudding texture and definitely no sticky feeling at all.  Application was as easy as a breeze.  After 30 minutes, it wouldn't look so black.  Then, wipe it off with tissues before wash it off with warm water.  I prefer not to leave anything on my face so I normally wash it off. I  love the nice feeling and the bouncy feeling of using this mask.  I do think that jelly mask is more suitable for those with combination skin or dry skin that couldn't use clay mask which could be very drying.

 Jelly mask can also helps to balance the water on the skin to avoid the pores producing more oils.

It will certainly helps to brighten the skin, deals with pores and clean the pores plus it is super cheap.  I am going to add this into my weekly treat =)  .

REVIEW ON HANDMADE SOAP FROM SERI EMAS FACIAL SOAP SAVON VISAGE TONIQUE

Are you looking for products for oily, sensitive, acne prone skin and handmade from natural ingredients?  Why not try a product made by local Malaysian with natural goodness from the magic coconut oil?

This is the Seri Emas, Facial soap savon visage tonique

It comes in a cute box with golden writing.  It is sure very cute and pretty.

HANDMADE SOAP FROM SERI EMAS

HANDMADE SOAP FROM SERI EMAS

the box of HANDMADE SOAP FROM SERI EMAS

the ingredients of HANDMADE SOAP FROM SERI EMAS.
Here is the list of ingredients at the back of the box.

HANDMADE SOAP FROM SERI EMAS

Inside, the soap is wrap with plastic.

HANDMADE SOAP FROM SERI EMAS

The soap is made from 50% honey, pomegranate, cinnamon, turmeric and many more herbs. It is good for oily skin, acne prone and sensitive skin. Those dots that you are herbs.

The soap smell of herbs and I love the smell of it. It is actually for the face but you could also use it on your body and also for the hair. It is sure multi-purpose and it is easy to bring during travel. The soap is about the size of my palm which is about 4.5 x 5cm.

It is pink and it is soft when it is wet so do not leave it with water or it will melt away. It lathers up easily and I will use the bubbles to clean my face. My face always feels so clean. The soap removed all the dead cells even without using any force so make sure you do not use any strong astringent when you are using this soap. Although it is natural, it is good enough to remove dead skin and help to heal the skin.

My pores is sure smaller and those pesky blackheads did not appear when I was using this soap.  I guess it is because of the coconut oil and the turmeric that are well known to help with the acne and trouble skin.  This soap sure help me with shrinking the pimples and help with reducing the redness too.  I was sceptical at first with this soap but now I think this soap is sure amazing because it does work wonders!


So, here is the result after using it every day for three days.  As you can see, I have cystic type of acne on my chin that makes my skin bright red but won't come up to the surface.  The other pus was shrunk into nothing in just a matter of three days.  There is nothing done to the pictures, my skin was bright red before I used the soap.

So, my dear readers, good things are meant to be shared.  Here is the link for you to apply for samples for you to try the soap too.

FOOD REVIEW:LOADING BAY AT KLUANG

This is a restaurant in Kluang.  It is on the same row as KFC so it should not be hard to find.
This restaurant serves mostly western food and some cakes.

the interior of Loading Bay

The interior design is actually romantic so it is a good place for dating and also for meeting friends.

Service wise is good as the waitress can speak English and also recommend some of their famous dishes. No force or also imposing air and she would repeat the list of what we ordered for confirmation.


The portion of their food is quite big compared to what I imagined.  The food is good and tasty.  A good place for tea and cakes =)  .

There is a lunch set which cost RM19.90 which is worth the money but since I arrived late, I don't get to order it.hahaha Well, arriving for tea is different.

mushroom soup

mushroom soup

The mushroom soup does has its own kind of right texture. It is not thick or too thin. The texture is just nice with fragrant smell of mushroom and there are bits of mushroom in the soup which further enhances the taste of the mushroom soup.  The mushroom comes with the garlic bread and it is so crunchy and every bites is a moment of joy!

French fries

french fries

Frech fries are crunchy and not too salty.  It is not too oily and portion is quite big given the price. It comes with tomato sauce.

mash potatoes

mash potatoes

The mash potatoes come with the sauce that is extremely yummy and the mash potatoes has the rough texture but will not get stuck in between teeth. I think it is really healthy and filling as they do not put any milk into it.

lamb Quesadillas

The main food is actually this lamb Quesadillas.  It is really tasty and you could choose the type of meat, the sauce and the skin. It is hard for me to choose and knowing me, I would just choose original. The other type of skin is with onions. I love the sauce and the filling with melted cheese. There is no fat and the skin is so crunchy but no hint of being oily! The sauce is very nice and fragrant. It is scrumptious! Definitely suggest trying this dish out when you are there for tea. Don’t order too much as this is sure very filling. Looks can be deceiving so don't think that you would need to order ten plate of this to fill your stomach.

I am really thankful for the kind friend who brought me here.



Lamb Queadillas RM12.67

Homemade mushroom soup RM4.17
French fries RM4.17
Mash potatoes RM2.47

There is service charge of RM3.01

No pork or lard serves.  There are also Muslims workers.

This is the deluxe size hydrating kit

It comes in a box.

the back of the kit

It is written with the details of the products in Hangul and also in English.  The kit contains deluxe products from 15ml to 5ml so it lasted about a week on me.

The hydrating kit-from the left mineral treatment essence,  fresh water gel, sun protection (sunscreen) and skin tone up cc cream

1.mineral treatment essence 

2  fresh water gel

3.sun protection (sunscreen)

4. skin tone up cc cream

Even the deluxe size products are just so cute and pretty!  It is just like mini size of the work of art!

fresh water gel

fresh water gel

The mineral treatment essence is made from fermented water but there is no fishy smell.  It smell something like mineral water ( almost no smell at all).  The skin feels really hydrated and soft after using it and followed up with the fresh water gel.

The fresh water gel has a very light rose smell to it. The texture is so light, soft and has a cooling feeling.  I like that it is also soothing.  The gel texture is really nice and absorbs into the skin fast leaving no trace.

CREMORLAB Sun protection

 The Sun protection is actually the sunscreen and it is good that it has high SPF and the texture is sure light and hydrating.  Those who find sunscreen drying could try this as it is hydrating to the skin and it does not leave any white cast on the face which I like.  The sun protection literary turned transparent and it leaves a very subtle sheen.

CREMORLAB CC cream

CC cream is a In-thing now after BB cream since it helps to moisturise the skin and CC cream contains more moisture than BB cream.  Don't be shocked with the white cream and there is a capsule where it will turn into your skin colour after applying.  For a dewy skin, try their CC cream which has light coverage.  It will brighten and leaves a dewy look.  Both the CC cream and sun protection has a nice smell of powdery flowers.

Overall, I think the treatment essence and fresh water gel are worth to get considering that it is very affordable and could rival some high end brands.  If you love Korean cosmetics products, their Cremor treatment essence is a must to try.

You could get Cremorlab from Muse by Watson at Sunway Pyramid.

Cremorlab Mineral Treatment Essence, 270ml, RM129
Cremorlab Fresh Water Gel, 100ml, RM119

Products retails in between RM69- RM169.  For more information, please visit MUSE by Watson facebook and Cremorlab website. Samples deluxe kit are provided by Muse Watson. However, the opinions expressed here are my own and honest as always.
