The lip balm is really hydrating. One of two layer is enough to hydrate my lips.  It is also easy to apply and I don't have to pout my lips to apply lip balm.  It is so cute to bring it around and it looks good to keep inside the cosmetics bag as it has the screw kind of lid so that the cap will not accidentally come loose inside the bag.




Here are all the list of the flavours:

1. NY, Brilliant My Way - RED (apple, ginger&tea rose)

1. Wash the nose with water and put Step1 on nose for 10minutes. If there is pain, reduce the timing.

SKINMISO PORE BEAUTY NOSE PACK FROM KOREA
SKINMISO PORE BEAUTY NOSE PACK FROM KOREA

The process of the blackheads removing is really painless.  Step 1 has a peppermint smell and 'heating' feeling when applied on the skin.  As for Step 2, the minty nose mask cool down the skin and I can see the pores' constriction. The solution is a little thicker for the step1

Step 3 which is the pore beauty silky essence really helps to control the oil on the skin.  A little will do for the nose area.  The nose produce lesser oil after using it for two weeks which is good to avoid the pore get congested.

Overall, it is a good painless product that cleanses the pores at the nose really well.  The effect is more obvious and last longer than other nose pack.  I think it is even cheaper than going for facial extraction that might damage your skin and cause sensitivity.  It is really recommended for your own self care at home.

REVIEW ON BIO ESSENCE SPRING WATER (MIRACLE BIO WATER)-IS IT REALLY MIRACLE?


Heat on the face can break down collagen on the face and cause more dryness.  So, I would reach for the mist or DIY mist to cool down my face.  It is common for Korean girls to carry around mist to spray on the face.

Recently, I was given Bio Essence spring water by a friend of mine.  The moment I saw the word "Miracle", I was really??????

REVIEW ON BIO ESSENCE SPRING WATER (MIRACLE BIO WATER)
BIO ESSENCE SPRING WATER (MIRACLE BIO WATER)
The bottle is made from aluminium and is sturdy.

REVIEW ON BIO ESSENCE SPRING WATER (MIRACLE BIO WATER)
BIO ESSENCE SPRING WATER (MIRACLE BIO WATER)
There is only two ingredients in this Bio essence spring water which are aqua (bio spring water) and nitrogen.

It claims to do lots of things which I think was quite impossible considering that the ingredients are just aqua and nitrogen.  Why do we need to use serums and other skincare products to help our skin with all the problems if this bottle can do it all?

It does help to cool down my skin especially on a hot day.  For a better effect, use it with a compressed sheet mask. It is also quite easy to bring it around during travel since it is easier to use "spray" rather than applying it with our fingers that might harbour lots of dirts on our face.  You could also use to set the makeup.

Just don't expect this bottle of spring water to do so much as to make you look ten years younger or a miracle in a bottle.



Products retails at RM29.90 per bottle at Watsons or Guardian pharmacies.  Made in Malaysia.

POPULAR SNACKS IN KOREA- HAVE YOU TRIED IT?

Hi beauties,

Do you love Korean snacks?

A few months ago, I was involved in a Christmas gift exchange. It was really exciting as buying and choosing things for people is really not an easy task.  I was wondering if I should send Durian flavour things but then ... I am sure you will faint because .....well Durian is the "stinkiest fruits on Earth" so well I better not.  I send mostly snacks that is only available in Malaysia.  I don't think you can find it anywhere else than Malaysia.  Alright, save that for another day unless you are curious enough to find out what snacks are good to eat in Malaysia.

So, here are snacks that I got from the exchange.  It is already in my stomach the day I opened the box so hahahahaha.  I was told that these are some of the popular snacks in Korea.


POPULAR SNACKS IN KOREA cheese crackers

Here is the cheese crackers.  There is a light hint of ginseng.
Seriously, I couldn't get enough of these cheese crackers because the taste is so good! So thin and crispy just like potato chips but in a healthier version.



POPULAR SNACKS IN KOREA
biscuits or crackers 

The biscuit is written in Hangul and also Chinese.  I don't know what it means in Hangul but the Chinese words means "tall little girl".  Probably referring to the illustrated girl.  It is a crackers with taste of coconut and lots of sesame.  Really tasty and fragrant.

POPULAR SNACKS IN KOREA jellies

This is jellies which the smell immediately float the whole room the moment I opened the packet. The jellies are shaped like grapes so it is really cute.  The taste is okay. Not too sweet.



Have you tried any of these Korean snacks?  Gosh, anyone who is going Korea next?  I want the Cheese Crackers   >  <  .



No idea how much they cost as I got it from an exchange.

REVIEW ON STARBUCKS COFFEE HOUSE CAKES S BANANA CC MUFFIN AND ABSOLUTE VIA


When life is just sometimes busy and depressing, we usually crave for something sweet. I can’t help but have some sweet craving. It happens that we passed by Starbucks and there are some cakes *my eyes light up at cakes"! I know Starbucks is famous for their coffee but since am rushing, cakes over coffee for me!

So, I chose S Banana Chocolate Muffin and Absolute Via for mum. She loves Swiss Roll and couldn't get enough of it.

I had a take away since I am rushing for time and mum doesn’t like to be in a place where youngsters like to hang out. So, I bought it home and prepared tea to go along with the cakes. Wow, sounds like I am having a great time. Well, one should try to enjoy the little things in life =) .

STARBUCKS COFFEE HOUSE


A beautiful paper bag. Inside the bag, there even tissues and fork prepared.

The muffin is put inside a brown bag while the Absolute Via is inside a paper box. Really pretty and mum keep asking me why it is unlike the one she brought from usual cake shop.


STARBUCKS COFFEE HOUSE ABSOLUTE VIA

STARBUCKS COFFEE HOUSE S BANANA CC MUFFIN
S BANANA CC MUFFIN

The banana muffin is very soft and the sweetness is just right. Love the amount of chocolate chips in it as well the taste. It is just a little more expensive considering the size. I shared it with my family members and my family members do like it as much as I do.


STARBUCKS COFFEE HOUSE ABSOLUTE VIA
ABSOLUTE VIA


Absolute Via is actually coffee flavor Swiss roll which my mum though was chocolate, her favourite cakes of all time. The Swiss roll is soft with good amount of cream and the right sweetness. Unlike the typical type of Swiss Roll which my mum used to love, this is has very fine ‘holes’ means little baking powder in it. Starbuck also uses good quality of flour and it is worth the price since the size is also quite big. Sorry Mum, I spoil her image of her “favourited” cake shop (meaning she no longer like that shop now). Now, she finally understands why I don’t like the swiss roll from the shop she usually buys. Mum might be blaming me for pampering her with cakes now XP .


Next time, I think ordering the cakes are more worth than pies in Starbuck which can be quite dry.

Food retails at
S Banana Cc Muffin RM6.50
Absolute Via RM5.50

It helps with healing the skin and it sucks up those pus from the wound.  It won't work if your skin is not broken meaning it won't work for those that you feel has something underneath the skin but then there is no pus.  Since in Malaysia, there is no way that we can find Duo Derm, this is an option.

It comes in one big pieces that you can cut into the size you want, then remove the plastic and just put it on the wound.  It works on place like the face compare to the 'plaster kind'
Too bad that the size has reduced a little from the one I previously bought.

The healing balm smells wonderful and not the typical bitter herbal. This smells soothing and reminds me of vegetables soup.  Even my family who hates anything with fragrance finds this smells good and do not need to pinch their nose while applying it.  The balm has a natural greenish look but turn transparent when applied on the skin.  There is no greasy feeling or discomfort when this *thumbs up*  .

This a healing balm that really works to heal the scratches, dry patches on my legs.  I also use it to ease those bites from those mosquitoes.  The mosquitoes would leave an ugly marks on my legs and hands.  It took few months for those marks to disappear.  Surprisingly, the healing balm get rid of those ugly marks fast and it is just perfect for New Year.  It works slower than those 'steroid' cream but it is natural so there won't be side effect of the dry patches coming back.

REVIEW ON JEANIE BOTANICALS ORIENTAL HERBAL SOAP (PINE/TEA TREE/EUCALYPTUS)


*What to do* when you dislike bar soap?
I steer clear of bar soaps but then there is this exception for handmade soap especially this one that use Oriental medicinal herbs. Reasons being hand-crafted soap are really fabulous and gentle with my sensitive skin.

People now take pride and are more selective in choosing skincare products including body care. Some people will also turn to Oriental medicinal when they have skin problem and the demand is because that Oriental medicinal are more gentle to the skin.

The back of the soap with the details about the soap.=) Beautiful right?



ABOUT
We take great pride in our meticulously handcrafted soap with Oriental medicinal herbs. Our herbal soap takes 100 days to produce, with herbal healing properties infused into the soap in 3 ways. Organic and wildcrafted herbs such as licorice, wormwood and houttuynia are infused in cold-pressed olive oil for 60 days. Then we added plantain, burdock, and licorice tea and added herbal powders into the final soap. The ground herbs also act as mild exfoliants.

This lengthy process creates a soap that not only offers amazing skincare benefits, but also maximizes the healing properties that the herbs have to offer.


Key ingredients:
Houttuynia 鱼腥草: A popular moisturizing and detoxifying herb that calms irritated skin, prevents acne and mitigate skin problems. Great for sensitive and troubled skin.
Licorice 甘草: Rich in beneficial plant sterols to promote skin elasticity and fight wrinkle formation. Contains glycyrrhizin that helps soothe irritated skin and glabridin that lightens skin.
Burdock 牛蒡: High in antioxidants, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, a popular natural remedy for many skin conditions.
Plantain 車前草: A great skin healing herb for many skin conditions like dryness and eczema.
Wormwood 艾草: A great healing herb that strengthens Chi, helps to moisturise skin, reduce dryness and itching.

JEANIE BOTANICALS ORIENTAL HERBAL SOAP (PINE/TEA TREE/EUCALYPTUS)


Love the smell of the oriental herbal soap is earthy with smell of herbs =) .  There is not artificial colouring as the colours comes from the herbs and thus a bit brownish.

Since it is a handmade soap, it doesn't lather that a lot of foam but it cleanses the skin well, doesn't really dry my skin and help with my back-acne.  The smell isn't strong after you wash it off.  It foams up really easy even without using any foaming net.

Overall,  I find that it is good for people with skin trouble such as back acne and oily skin type.  If you are the type that still love to use the feeling of soap go for handmade soap as it was less harsh than those bar soap. For drier skin type, you can still use this soap.  Just don't leave it on the skin for more than 1minute and apply moisturising lotion after that. Alternative, go for their Jeanie Botanicals charcoal soap which is equally awesome too =)  .

JEANIE BOTANICALS 100% OLIVE CASTILE FACIAL SOAP (CALENDULA/CHAMOMILE)

I like the simple packaging =0.

The facial soap comes in form of transparent liquid that lathered a bit and mild to my skin. There is only very light smell.
I can still feel the moisture left on my skin after the wash.  It also cleanses the skin well without irritation.  It does remove light makeup but not waterproof makeup so use a separate makeup remover to remove eyes makeup before hand.

Unlike the real pure olive oil, this doesn't clogged my pores. I couldn't use those cooking olive oil as it leave a greasy form on my skin. There is no any strong smell or fragrance at all so it would be good even for skin that can't handle synthetic fragrance or preservative.

If you are into the 'no -shampoo method' loved by celebrities but is afraid of looking like a greasy ball for a month, you could use this olive castile facial soap as your "no poo method" before moving to the real thing.  It makes the hair soft and it is natural!

REVIEW ON JEANIE BOTANICALS-100% RAW, NATURAL AND ORGANIC SKINCARE CRAFTED BY ARTISAN

Hi Beauties,

What to do today?
Today, I am very excited to share with you this really marvellous Organic brand I recently got to try. Love their products that are made from Oriental ingredients =).





ABOUT

Prior to starting JEANIE BOTANICALS, Jeanie has been in the nutrition and wellness industry for over 10 years. From a young age, she has been exposed to the powerful healing properties of herbs and alternative therapies courtesy of her late grandfather, a herbalist and late father a specialist in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).



Since the birth of her first child, she has tried many natural and organic brands in the market with great hope (If they are organic they must be good, right?). However, she was greatly disappointed with the results. Despite labelled as ‘natural’ or ‘organic’, most popular brands still contained synthetic chemicals and preservatives that can cause irritation to the skin. Her son’s nappy rashes got worse and he also developed bad rashes from a ‘natural’ mosquito repellent product.



Determined to find truly natural solutions that were safe and effective, she researched and created her own. She was amazed at the sheer healing powers of simple botanicals and natural remedies and passed her creations for others to try. When family and friends kept asking for more, she realized the potential of this opportunity and founded JEANIE BOTANICALS and retrained in skincare manufacturing, herbalism and natural remedies.



At JEANIE BOTANICALS, we are committed to use 100% pure and natural ingredients for beauty, health and wellbeing. Only ingredients that we would use on ourselves find its way into the jars and the harmful ones (Read on our 8 No’s Promise) do not even get a chance. We believe that skincare products should be a joy to use without compromising the quality or the effectiveness. All our products are meticulously crafted in small artisan batches to ensure good quality and freshness. Nourish + Nurture, Naturally…

Lots of LOVE,



The JEANIE BOTANICALS Team

SKINCARE TIPS: SKIN DIET, WHAT TO DO?


People always talking about diet diet and diet.  Do you know what is skin diet?

SKINCARE TIPS: SKIN DIET, WHAT TO DO?

Someone said I love to use *what to do* so that is why I have to make my trademark. *shy*  Hope you do not mind it my dear readers.

While I am not a supporter of eating pills or something to beautify my skin, I do go on a skin detox or skin diet after a harsh time.

Recently, my skin was not in a good condition after a week of celebration with eating so much of processed food, cookies, peanuts, beers, high protein but without enough vegetables. Side effect of it? I breakouts, redness and had oily skin with dry patches all over.

Yeah, right after my skin was just good enough to see the daylight. If you experience something like me, it is probably time to look after it.

Don’t be scared, I don’t do anything drastic such as going for extreme measures such as one food diet or not eating anything at all. You could probably incorporate or adapt some of the method for your daily.



1. Drink 8 glasses of water daily. Drink more in the morning and noon.  Try to reduce the liquid intake at night to avoid bloating.

2. Drink two or three cups of pure warm green tea. Cold one doesn't really work.

3. Each and munch lots of fruits that contain high vitamin C and minerals. Don’t turn them into juice.

4. Eat plain greek yogurt. No sugar in it.

5. No red meat for the whole week.

6. Eat food high in Omega 3 such as fishes.

7. Avoid everything processed ( for examples: burger, fries, cookies, candy, sweets, can drinks, dairy , sugar)

8. No fried stuffs.

9. No alcohol.

10. Try a detox bath-Epsom salt and lemongrass oil.

11. Use masks daily.  If you love DIY mask, try ingredients such as yogurt, tomatoes, rice or aspirin.

12. I like to go free without makeup for a week.  Well, you don't have to force yourself.

13. No smoking. Duh, don’t smoke forever.


So do you any of the above to care for your skin?


No product reviews here.  Just my opinions on the topic and it is honest as always.
