Antipodes always favours the use of raw ingredients that are cultivated sustainably on certified organic orchards.
What are the criteria for a fully certified organic product?
100% natural ingredients
70 to 95% of these natural ingredients must be certified organic
Strict international criteria govern all of the remaining ingredients.


Antipodes products are certified organic by the independent government body AsureQuality Ltd, the leading provider of food safety and biosecurity services in the southern hemisphere. It upholds the strictest worldwide organic standards.


The other premium natural products in the Antipodes range are very clean and pure, using high quality raw materials with low or no residue component.


Look for this logo on our certified organic products:

Products that are not certified organic are 98- 100% natural.

Dermatogically Approved

Several Antipodes products are dermatologically approved for sensitive skin. Tests are conducted in a New York Laboratory where 50 women with self-nominated sensitive skin are subject to repeated patch testing of Antipodes products over a period of six weeks.


Sensitive skin is an inherited condition, or genetic predisposition. It usually occurs in fair skin (people with northern European ancestry), which has less pigmentation and a thinner epidermal layer. People with sensitive skin are prone to redness, facial flushing and itchiness, and can also be more vulnerable to allergies.


Sensitised skin is skin that changes or becomes 'sensitised' to various cosmetics, environmental aggressors or a bad diet. It is not genetic and people of any ethnicity can suffer from sensitised skin during their lifetime. Its severity varies depending on factors like climate, air conditioning and indoor heating. Sensitised skin is less visible than sensitive skin and resides at deeper levels of the dermis, but still results in stinging and itchiness. It can be managed by ensuring your diet contains essential fats, and supporting this with beauty products that help improve and increase the skin's natural barrier, thereby increasing and balancing sebum production.

Vegetarian Approved

We are proud to be approved by the UK Vegetarian Society, the oldest vegetarian organisation in the world. Every Antipodes product is audited annually to meet the strict criteria for approved vegetarian status. The approval means if you're vegetarian, or opposed to animal testing of beauty products, you can have confidence that a globally respected vegetarian organisation has independently assessed our range and given us the okay.


We never, ever test our skincare on animals, and there's no cross-contamination during the production process. All our products are free from any animal ingredient resulting from slaughter, and free from genetically modified organisms (GMOs). We don’t use any animal by-products except honey, which is accepted and eaten by vegetarians because honeybees must make honey to live.

FOOD:HOTTEOK RECIPE (KOREAN PANCAKE)

My dear readers,

Just made this Korean pancake for breakfast because I am bore with the usual pancake I have.

This is a Korean pancake.  You can change the filling according to your preference.
I just change a little by adding the sausages on top of the pancake for fun. I like adding a little meat. *hahahaha*


Korean Hotteok has sweet fillings such as brown sugar or honey and is eaten during winter.  It is one of the street food but well you can always make it at home yourself =) .  It is actually easy and not difficult at all.

Dough:
1 cups of wheat flour

1/2 cup water

milk (you can add a little milk powder if you are not allergic to it)

1tbs sugar

1 tbs yeast
1.  Mix the water, milk (you can add a little milk powder if you are not allergic to it), sugar, yeast together.  Stir well.
2,  Add in the wheat flour or you can use all purpose flour and mix it.
3.  Let it seat for about 1/2 hour and then knead it a little.
4. Leave for another 10 minutes.



Fillings:
two leaves of cabbages cut into strips
1/2 carrots strips
2 stick of sausages cut into the circles shape

You can create your own fillings.  I am health conscious so the traditional fillings as brown sugar or cheese is too high in calories for me so I decided to just use vegetables.

1. Mix all the vegetables together.  You can either mix the sausages together or leave it aside.


Make the Hotteok:
1.  Just knead the dough together again and then make it into 4 balls.
2. Then just take the ball and put the fillings in the centre. Then knead it into a ball.
Okay, here I cheated because I am lousy in kneading it into a ball so I actually separate the balls into two. Then put the fillings in between the two dough and sealed the side. *embarrassed*
3.  Then heat the pan and cooked the hotteok.  Press on the hotteok and turn to another side when the bottom become golden brown.
4.  Serve it hot.


I think it is good for tea or for breakfast.  Try it yourself at home.

REVIEW ON WORTHY BOOK LADIES EDITION 2014/2015

Out of curiosity, I got a Worthy Book and this is the ladies editions. If you are person who loves discount and love shopping, this is really worth to get.

Add caption

The discounts are divided into categories-skincare/bodycare/ haircare products, travel, spa/massage/facial. Waxing/hair removal, welness&health, hair saloon, eyebrow/eyecare, bust care, clothes/bags/shoes,manicure/pedicure, welness&health and online purchase.

The discounts offer are vast and depends on the brands. There is wide selections on the brands and most of the brands are rather established so they will honour the discounts unlike certain brands.

I like that there are discounts for brands that always use such as Himalaya which is buy one free one! It is really worth it. There are also online discount such as Body Shop-RM10 off+free delivery for first purchases which can applied to everything except the RM50 vouchers. I think it is like huge discount compare to normally buying without discounts.

I sure like is Zalora discounts! 15% discount storewide compare to the usual 10% .

I would love that there is more online discount as now most prefer to purchase things online and it would be great if there are more discount online. It is rather hard to just purchases the products in store when brands such as TNS skinlab, Shills and Muse already have their online stores. I mean isn’t it hard for us who are never in KL to purchases things and couldn’t get the same benefits as other consumers.


I feel you my dear readers who are just living far from civilisatioan and the only thing we can do in purchases online or wait very long to get our beauty products. Now, would you excuse me while I go and enjoy my Zalora haul thanks to Worthy Book.

This grey contact lens is from PastelNoodles wesbsite and it is a Korean website.  So, rest assure that their shipping fees is very reasonable. They have standard shipping and Fedex.  The price is all there so it is really transparent on how much you need to pay for it.

This Korean webiste has very good customer service.  As for the contact lens prices, I think their prices is very much cheaper than some website.  Contact lens such as Geo medical last for a year which is really worth given the quality and comfort.


PastelNoodles even send in the extra gift along with your contact lens for every purchases  That is what I love about service from Korean seller.  Love the cute hair band! =)

The contact comes in air tight container so the product is safe.  PastelNoodles even wrap the box of contact lens with thick bubbles wrap to ensure the product arrived intact.


The contact lens are really comfortable even when I was wearing it for 8 hours.  The contact duration of usage is for one year so it is really worth to get it.

The colours are really great too!   As it is a form of circle lens, it has an enlargement effect but it will make you look fake.  In fact,  I don't have to put up heavy makeup because the colour tend to blend in with my dark brown eyes making it look really natural.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN GEL CLEANSER, OIL CLEANSER, BALM CLEANSER, BAR SOAP, WATER CLEANSER (MICELLAIRE) , LOTION CLEANSER , PEELING GEL, MILK CLEANSER AND MASSAGE CREAM?

Hi beautiful,

*what to do?* I am out of post and since I have already did the post about those essence, serum and another post about masks, I might as well do one for the cleanser.  I think there are people that find choosing a cleanser as confusing as other sort of skin care.  Besides, not many people would really bother about choosing a cleanser for themselves too.  Some might just choose whatever their mother or family are using.

However, I think it is important to choose a suitable cleanser according to your skin type and preference because some certain cleanser can aggravate your skin conditions especially when you have skin problem such as mine.

1.FOAM CLEANSER

Description: Most common cleanser used with water to clean the skin.

Usage: Add water to the cleanser and rub the cleanser until it foam up.

Skin type: for oily skin or for those who love lots of bubbles or those that can withstand harsher treatment. Those with acne prone skin or sensitive are recommended to stay away from this as it can hurt the skin.

Examples: 
Pyungkang Yul Cleansing Foam
Beauty of Joseon Silky Moist Cleansing FoamBaviphat Natural pure Lemon Facial Foam (dislike this)

Clean and clear fruit essentials facial cleanser Purifying Apple
23 Years Old Pergillus 15Sec Foam Cleanser
Cerave foaming facial  

Klavuu Pure Pearlsation Revitalising Facial Cleansing Foam

2.GEL CLEANSER

Description: Gel cleanser that has gel texture.  It usually does not much foam and some doesn’t foam up at all.  Cleanses the skin without being too dry. It is good to use it during winter or summer.

Usage: Add water to the gel and rub it on the skin.

Skin type: Usually suits all sort of skin. It is generally gentle to the skin and there is less friction on the skin.  Suits acne prone and combination skin.

Examples:
Pinkpage gentle wash
Oxygen women and teen 2 in 1 Cleanser
A'kin Sandalwood and Neroli Pure Facial Cleansing Gel
Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser ,
NUXE Gel DÉmaquillant Fondant Melting Cleansing Gel
Himalaya Purifying Neem Face Wash


3. OIL CLEANSER

Description: It has oil texture. It is for double cleaning - means using oil to remove makeup or sunscreen and then use another water based cleanser (foam, gel, milk). There are skin that doesn't like double cleansing.  Depending on the oil cleanser, there can be many type of based- mineral oil, camellia oil, olive oil etc .

Usage: Apply on dry skin and massage. Then add a little water to emulsify (turn into milky water) the cleanser. Follow up with a gel or foam cleanser.

Skin type: This cleanser is usually for dry skin type or clogged prone skin.

Examples:

Sulwhasoo Gentle Oil cleansing Ex
Natural Pacific Fresh Herb Origin Cleansing Oil
Dr.Lewinn's Essentials 4 Fusion Cleansing oil
Hada Labo Gokujyun cleansing oil

Klairs Gentle Black Deep Cleansing Oil
Kose Softymore speedy oil cleanser
Trilogy Rosehip Transformation Cleansing Oil


4. BALM CLEANSER

Description:  Comes in form of a balm waxy texture.   Balm cleansers are usually more expensive for the effort put into manufacturing them. It comes in form of jar.

Some bar soap are handmade and generally the soaps are less harsh but these type of soaps are more expensive than the one in drugstore.

Usage: Foam the bar of soap with water and apply it onto the skin.

Skin type: For the body or very oily skin.  People with sensitive and acne prone skin should avoid bar soap at all cost.

Examples:

Seri Emas Facial Soap Savon Visage Tonique 
Tebe Lavish Soap Bar 
Vivtoria Sweden Egg White Facial Care Soap (LANOLIN-ÄGG-TVÅL)

6. WATER CLEANSER/CLEANSING WATER ( MICELLAIRE)

Description: It has watery liquid texture. The mechanics of attracting the dirt away from the face makes it interesting and makes removing the makeup so easy. Gone are the days when women have to tug on my skin to get rid of those eyeliner and waterproof mascara. Water cleanser doesn’t have the greasy feeling of oil cleanser.

Usage: Apply the liquid onto a cotton pad and place it for few second on the area with waterproof makeup. Then gentle swipe it off. Rinse the face with water or follow up by cleanser.

Tips: If you have expired micellar water or one that contains ingredients that break you out, soak your cushion puff in it overnight and your cushion puff will be very clean.  Oil cleanser never works to clean the puff enough for me.

Examples:
UBG PEELING GEL

Skin type: All skin type especially clogged prone skin type.

Next time,  if you get catch yourself thinking *what to do* and wanted to blame it on your other skincare, do check if it is because of your cleanser. Also, many said to choose a low ph around 5.5 to 6 as high pH can destroy the skin mantel and cause skin problems like acne.

REVIEW ON SWISS LINE CELL SHOCK OVERNIGHT “V” MASK

SCULPTING WITHOUT A SCALPEL 

500 years ago Leonardo Da Vinci commented that when drawing portraits, the facial shape was the most important indicator of youthful attractiveness. He favored the proportions of the V-shaped face, as seen in his renowned painting of the Mona Lisa. Da Vinci`s aesthetic preference has since been reinforced by researchers who have concluded that the v-shaped facial contours, typically seen on famous celebrities such as Kate Moss or Madonna, are the most beautiful.


Unfortunately, not all of us are lucky enough to have been born with the picture-perfect V-shaped jawline, and even if we were, aging can cause the skin to sag, giving the face the appearance of a broader base. But, no need to worry, Swiss line`s newest, highly innovative skincare product, Cell Shock Overnight “V” Mask, can help you rectify the situation. Comprised of the Sculpting Patch-Mask and Lifting Infusion-Mask, the two-part Overnight “V” Mask addresses facial architecture and volume like no other anti-aging product. It acts not only as a shape transforming facial mask, lifting the facial contours where needed and sculpting where puffiness or sagging has compromised the oval shape of the face, but also as a night cream. Welcome to the new era of facial architecture!

Swiss Line Cell Shock  Overnight “V” Mask

SWISS LINE`S NEWEST ADDITION TO THE CELL SHOCK COLLECTION 


Swiss line, a revolutionary, anti-aging Swiss skincare brand with both a consumer and professional range, combines a proud heritage in the field of cellular therapy, a paramedical approach to beauty and a penchant for innovation. The Overnight “V” Mask is the newest product to join the Cell Shock collection, a results-oriented, cellular skincare collection launched in 1995 to combat the visible signs of aging.

Swiss Line Cell Shock  Overnight “V” Mask

Swiss Line Cell Shock  Overnight “V” Mask

CELL SHOCK OVERNIGHT “V” MASK

As we all know, one`s facial shape, contours and proportions impact our perception of beauty. While you cannot alter your bone structure, unless you opt for invasive surgery, you can impact the shape of your face by sculpting the contours and lifting the skin with Swiss line`s Cell Shock Overnight “V” Mask, a two-part system including The Sculpting Patch-Mask and Lifting Infusion-Mask.

From the left: The Sculpting Patch-Mask and Lifting Infusion-Mask

1. SCULPTING PATCH-MASK


Formulated to drain and “slim” the facial contour areas, the roll-on, amber-colored Sculpting Patch-Mask is easily applied as you gently roll the applicator along the jaw line and under-chin areas.

KEY ACTIVES : 

Cellactel 2 Complex, Swiss line’s signature ingredient, maximizes cellular turnover.

V-Slimming Complex: This powerful toning and slimming complex, comprised of two synergistic botanical extracts: gingko (Gingko biloba) and butcher broom (Ruscus aculeatus), activates microcirculation, helps stimulate tissue oxygenation and fight free-radicals, soothes the skin, and drains it to fight water retention.

Swiss Snow Algae extract: This rejuvenating and protective active ingredient utilizes the latest anti-aging strategy of caloric restriction. Various studies have established a link between lower calorie intake and lifespan extension. By mimicking the effects of a “diet” on the skin, the extract of Swiss snow algae offers the benefits without the discomfort! This extract activates the longevity gene, klotho, and thus increases antioxidant defenses and cell repair.

Collagen Chrono-Protector The point of this polypeptide system is to preserve the integrity of collagen fibers by limiting the degree to which they become rigid. This is due to an anti-glycation effect that in turn preserves the elasticity and compactness of the tissues along the jaw line and under the chin. 

2. LIFTING INFUSION MASK

Acting like a “second-skin,” the Lifting Infusion Mask delivers facial transforming benefits throughout the night.

KEY ACTIVES

Cellactel 2 Complex, Swiss line’s signature ingredient, maximizes cellular turnover.

Cell Longevity Booster Slowing down the expression of the senescence factors and limiting dermal degeneration, the Cell Longevity Booster has been shown to favor the synthesis of SIRT-1 proteins, involved in cell longevity. It operates on a molecular level, effectively reducing the total number, surface, and length of wrinkles.

Oligo Catalyst Complex Uniquely designed to respond to the nutritional needs of overtired, stressed skin, the Oligo-Catalyst Complex has the ability to stimulate cellular metabolism, boost the synthesis of intracellular ATP, and increase cell growth. It is an optimized association between a physiological vector (“transporter”) and molecules of sodium, magnesium, zinc and manganese.

Hyaluron-Skin Film Comprised of sodium hyaluronate and liquid crystals, this film helps preserve the most important characteristics of youthful, healthy skin, such as suppleness, elasticity and tone. The multi-layer liquid crystals network, which is formed around each oil droplet, replicates the structure of the human skin and contains similar components, including phospholipids, fatty acids and triglycerides.

APPLICATION TIPS:
The Overnight “V” Mask may be applied two to three times per week, or for an intensive cure it can be used every night for as long as needed.  Cleanse and tone the skin as usual, and then follow with serums and/or ampoules, eye care and neck care.


1. Use the Sculpting Patch-Mask roll-on applicator to dispense the product along the jaw line and under-chin areas, while applying gentle pressure to the tube. Only a small amount of the product is needed as the gel forms a “patch”. Smooth the gel with the fingertips as needed to even-out the application.

2. Apply the Lifting Infusion-Mask over the entire face, neck and décolleté. When removing the mask from the jar use circular movements with your finger so as to “melt” and activate the “second-skin” film texture, making the application of the mask even more enjoyable. 

The Overnight “V” Mask belongs to a new generation of masks which work while you sleep… it should not be tissued-off or rinsed-off like a common mask.

If you feel the need to apply your usual night cream on top of the mask you can do it, but this should only be done in the case of very dry skin conditions.

I know many have already underwent some sort of surgery to get the V shaped face but I don't have the gut nor the money to undergo such kind of procedure.  Jaw line trimming is one of the TOP 10 most dangerous procedures in the world.  Now that I going to be 30 years old soon, I am getting worried about my sagging face and fine lines because that is sure not something that I don't think any women would be proud of parading it to anyone.  I was extremely ecstatic when I got this and can't wait to share the result with beloved readers.

Swiss Line Cell Shock  Overnight “V” Mask

Swiss Line Cell Shock  Overnight “V” Mask

 Here is the list of ingredients.
I noticed that there is Arginine which is a critical building block of skin collagen and hair keratin, synthetic versions of this wound-healing amino acid are found in anti-aging topicals.  This is super good for my skin!

 There is the ON and OFF which you need to turn (anti clockwise / turn to the right) when you are going to use it. You can hear two clicks.

One only needs a small amount of the sculpting patch mask. Press enough amount and apply on the jaw line using the roller.  The scent is nice but since you only apply it on the jaw, you won't be able to detect any scent at all. The sculpting patch goes on the jaw line without feeling heavy at all.  In fact, I can't even detect the anything but it is there helping to lift the jaw line without the discomfort.

Swiss Line Cell Shock  Overnight “V” Mask Lifting Infusion-Mask

Lifting Infusion-Mask is in an elegant frosted jar because we need to activate it by using the heat from the fingers.  Love the packaging as the golden mirror alike which doesn't fade and remains in the same beautiful state shows how much of effort are put into their packaging and their effectiveness of the products.  The frosted glass also feels heavy and luxurious. The soft light cream has a heavenly soothing relaxing scent  that lulls me to sleep.  Every session with the lifting infusion mask just makes my heart flutters =) .


After using it for a month, my face feels more lifted and there is this beautiful glow on my face.  Even many were asking what I am using because my face has a healthy glow but it is not oil.  My skin is also soft to the touch.  I am really pleased with the results and of course can't wait for the launch soon.



Here is the results after using it for a month.
