RANDOM: HOW TO COLOUR SEA SCENERY

Dearest readers,

Today is just a day when I don't feel like doing anything, stress going up to the roof and people are testing your patience.  I have one of those days too. T_T

I like to draw although I am actually not very good in it.  It is actually self taught since I don't get to go for art classes.  Most Asian parents like mine doesn't encourage it and find that drawing is a waste of time.  I don't get to draw or colour at home so if I do colour, it has to be a secret. .

Anyhow, here is a drawing inspired by my feelings.  I didn't use any pencil in this drawing.  I just use the white pastel colour to draw the outline of it.(just the rock).  There is not smudging here.

I am only using the 6 colours-yellow, brown, dark blue, light blue, black and white.

HOW TO COLOUR  SEA SCENERY


If you are interested on how I come up with this, here is the few simple steps:

Ingredients: 6 main pastel colour (yellow, brown, dark blue, light blue, black and white) You can use pencil colour too.


1. draw outline with white pastel colour.
2. Use the yellow to colour the rock. Just colour anywhere you like and leave some empty white space.Use the dark brown to colour on the yellow and places near the water. Use the black to top it on the outline of the rock.
3..  Use the light blue to colour the flow of the water.  Leave some empty white spaces near those rocks where the waves will hit.  Use the dark blue to darken it.  Lastly, use the black to lightly draw on the outline.
4.  Just colour the light blue from the left to outside to the inside.  Leave some empty spaces in upper centre.  Then use the dark blue to darken some part follow up by black.  Then use the grey to fill up some spaces between the two colours.
5. Finally, use the white pastel to clear up and lighten up some part.

As you can see, my rocks look weird XP.



So what do you do when you are stress up or what you do for your hobby?

KOREAN SKINCARE ROUTINE 2015 FOR ACNE PRONE SKIN

Many had actually emailed me and asked me to recommend products for acne prone skin.  Actually I am not in a position to tell what you should buy because I haven't get to try all the products in the world as well as my limited knowledge to what I had tried and what works for me.  Besides, I am not a certified dermatologist who is trained with many years of knowledge about skin.

KOREAN SKINCARE ROUTINE 2015 FOR ACNE PRONE SKIN

I am just a self-taught person who through trial and errors found products suitable for me.

Before getting whatever I use, please check your age, skin types, your allergies(acne prone skin are known to be allergic to few things namely nuts, milk, sugar or medicine) and your type of acne (cystic, small localised bumps, pustules, blackheads or whiteheads).

Currently my skin is not bad but it is not perfect.  I still have those box scars and only procedure can remove it.  By the way, if you are pregnant, then I don't suggest you to use exactly what I used.


I am actually already in my late 20s so the type of skincare products I used are different from teenagers because adult skin can't take any harsh beating. Skin also heal way slower than the teenagers thus the scars =( .

Nevertheless here is what I actually use when I have pimples/trouble/acne.


Cleanser

Natural skincare cleanser- a'kin sandalwood and neroli pure facial cleansing gel (combination skin)
Drugstore - cetaphil gentle skin cleanser (dry skin) (if you do not mind paraben) Amazon link
Ayurveda-Himalaya Purifying gel cleanser (for oily skin and for men) Amazon Link


These two are my favourite cleansers after trying so many in the market.  Cetaphil has paraben if you don't mind.  I don't use cleanser specifically for acne because they are mostly drying.



Acne/pimples cream
Hoe T3 Mycin Clindamycin Gel 1% (afternoon)
Review on Differin (only at night) Amazon link
zinc oxide and calamine for acne prone skin (sensitive skin)
Tea tree (oily skin)
nixoderm (oily skin) Amazon link


Here are my few favourites.  I had tried so many and will still come back to these.  They are not from expensive brands but they work wonders.  Clindamycin is a type of antibiotic so stay away from it if you are allergic to aspirin or antibiotic.  Differin is a type of gentle retinoid but I think one need prescription if you are from the US.  In Malaysia, you can just get it from pharmacies.

Pure tea tree oil is generally recommended for oily skin type and do not use it too much as it is can be toxic.  It works.

Nixoderm is actually sulfur and it works wonderfully but do not apply too much as it will burnt your face.  Mmm, after all beauty is pain?

I love calamine to heal the skin and to reduce the size of the pimples but of course you can only use it at night or else looking like a ghost with white patches around the face.


If you are into Korean acne prone skin then do check these popular Korean brands
Enca (oily skin)
Ciracle pimples series
Chica Y Chico Tota 
CORSX

Moisturiser

Klairs moist soothing (dry skin)
Skinmiso pore zero night Cream
Marula oil (sensitive skin)

It is really important to use moisturiser since acne prone skin get irritated when it is dry.  Even if you have oily skin, you should use one.  Marula oil works the best on irritated skin but it is the most expensive one out of the four but if you have the money, you should try it.



Blackheads&whitehead

skinmiso pore beauty nose pack from koreaIf you only have blackheads and whiteheads on the nose then try this.  I think it is still the best even after trying so many brands for blackheads and whiteheads.  This is the only one that hasn't fail me and still work despite using it for few years.



If you are wondering why I didn't recommend toner, serum or emulsion, it is because my skin is too irritated to be able to use too many things when I have pimples so I will just use few products.  You should use sunscreen during the day even when you have pimples to prevent further damage to the skin.


The opinions expressed here are my own and honest as always.

REVIEW ON LINDEN LEAVES ABSOLUTE DREAMS BODY OIL

Linden Leaves is very famous for their body oil with real ingredients in it. One of their most famous one would be the Memories body oil which has a stalk of rose inside the bottle.  Of course it is more unique to receive a bottle with flowers that will not wilt.

What I have here for today is the Absolute Dreams body oil which contains lavender flowers in it.  Of course it is not as romantic as receiving a stalk of rose but I prefer lavender for the relaxing properties and you can use it as a bath oil or as massage oil.

Absolute dreams body oil comes in gold yellowish liquid and it is quite thick but the application is easy and absorb well into the skin leaving no trace of stickiness.  The smell is absolutely soothing. I love the lavender scent that is not overpowering.  My skin is still lightly scented with lavender even after few hours.

Since it contains vitamin E, it will help with dry skin and also help to prevent stretch marks. I think it would make a useful gift during special occasions such as anniversary, birthdays, Valentines or Christmas exchange.

The mask is quite fragile so be careful not to tear it with your fingernails.  The mask is in  between the two plastic and make sure the one with the pattern " / / /" should be facing the inside of your face.  The empty smooth one should be on the outside.

It is really comfortable to use the mask and one can felt asleep with the mask.  It does adhere to the skin better and doesn't dry as fast as paper sheet masks do.

From the photos you can see that I was having serious breakouts because I went camping and thus the bad skin.

I felt that the mask sure help to calm and heal my acne faster.  My face is sure more calm, less redness and more moisturise after using this mask at night.  This snail gel mask is really a nice item to use especially in the summer or humid weather when everything seems to clog the skin.  This snail won't clog the skin, it heals the skin and prevent from scaring.  Definitely suggested for acne prone and sensitive skin.

REVIEW ON ELISHACOY VITAMIN&COLLAGEN MASK SHEET

I think it is a known fact that mask is a staple in Korean skincare regime.  Sheet mask originated from Asia and I think now it has become quite a trend which many find useful to follow.  After all, who doesn't want the flawless glowing skin that Korean have?

I got this as one of the freebies along with some samples when I key in the code for the haul I did Here.


ELISHACOY VITAMIN&COLLAGEN MASK SHEET
 ELISHACOY VITAMIN&COLLAGEN MASK SHEET
Yes, even the mask packet is so pretty that it is difficult to throw it away.

ELISHACOY VITAMIN&COLLAGEN MASK SHEET
 ELISHACOY VITAMIN&COLLAGEN MASK SHEET

Features

Natural essence containing Vitamin Collagen Mask Sheet
The mask is made with the pulp sheet will softly cover your face. The mask sheet aims to prevent the highly concentrated essence from evaporation. Upgraded size of Vitamin Collagen Mask Sheet can reach to every parts of the face.



Vitamin>> The Vitamin is essential ingredient for skin care. It delivers the maximum anti-aging benefits, including the improvement of skin texture and tone while prevent and reduce the wrinkles. Vitamin helps to fade brown spots, freckles and smooth skin roughness. It is the healthiest ingredient from the natural environment.
Collagen>> Collagen is another source of anti-aging solution. As we age, our skin loses smoothness and suppleness. However, by providing the collagen to your skin, which is the key element for skin cell layer, you can expect the skin cell regeneration.




Recommend

This Vitamin Collagen Mask Sheet is great for :
-If you want to firm up your skin.
-If you lost smoothness and suppleness on your skin.
-If you are looking for the effective anti-aging solution.

How to use:

1) After the facial wash, gently attach the mask sheet on your face.
2) Leave it on for about 15~20 minutes.
3) Gently dab around the face to let it absorb any essence residue on skin surface.


Ingredients
Water, Glycerin, PEG/PPG-17/6 Copolymer, Glycereth-26, Sorbitol, Panthenol, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Methylparaben, Phenoxyethanol, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Xanthan Gum, Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Leaf Extract, Allantoin, Hydrolyzed Collagen, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Disodium EDTA, Fragrance



There is fragrance and paraben in this mask.  So, if you dislike any of this ingredient, then avoid this.


ELISHACOY VITAMIN&COLLAGEN MASK SHEET


Basically this mask is for anti aging purposes so although it is written for all skin type, it would work best on dry or normal skin type.   The sheet mask is strong enough to hold the essence and it doesn't drip onto my neck. I find that the smell is rather pleasant.  It is sure not something that anyone will dislike.  The sheet mask is big so it will fit any type of face which I think is good because it can cover my nose =).


I find it hydrating to the skin and the essence is not heavy at all.  The pores does temporarily looks smaller and my face is moist when I woke up in the morning. =)

If you do not have pore problems or acne problems and your skin concern is just for anti ageing and hydration, then do try it.

REVIEW ON SWISS LINE CELL SHOCK WHITE INVISIBLE VEIL SPF 50 PA++



Living in the equator means summer all the year around. Being exposed to the harmful sun rays can cause many skin problems in the future. In Asia, using sunblock or sunscreen is a must even if you feel that your skin is tan enough or you do not mind being darker. It is not the questions of having dark or fairer skin but to care for the biggest organ-skin.


However, not all the sunscreen and sunblock are equal. Do read HERE to know the list of approved sunscreens by the FDA.


Here is the new Cell Shock White Invisible Veil Spf 50 Pa++ I received. This sunscreen is specially formulated for Asian skin type. Living here meaning we have to use high sunscreen and I can say SPF30 just doesn’t protect my skin from burning. How can I apply sunscreen every 30minutes without looking like a weirdo?


So, Asian typically uses sunscreen that is around 45 to 50 SPF as well PA++. We also look for light texture sunscreen because everything heavy clogged our pores and prevent us from having flawless skin.

Swiss line, anti aging Swiss skincare brand with combines proud heritage in the cellular therapy a paramedical approach to beauty introduced the Total Lift Day Cream SPF 20 to join the Cell Shock collection, a results oriented , cellular anti aging skincare collection launched in 1995. Cell Shock White Invisible SPF50 is the newest to join the Cell Shock White collection, an anti aging skincare collection designed to keep the skin pigment light.


A light weight essence that can be use alone or over any moisturizer to shield the face, neck, décolleté and hands. It offers UVB protection with FDA approved ingredients, Octocrylene. This high versatile products is packaged in a white tottle bottle, designed to stand on its head.


It is for those who want to shield their skin from the sun but does not want to lighten the skin, in contrast with Cell Shock White Bi-Phase Lightening Veil SPF35( which will remain in the assortment). It is silicone-free, mineral oil free and alcohol free formula was developed for Swiss Line in Japan.


Key Actives

INVISIBLE UV COMPLEX 

A combination of broad spectrum UVA and UVB filters including the FDA approved Octyl Methoxycinnamate provide a significant sunblock yet remain invisible on the skin. To enhance the dispersion of the filters some are encapsulated into micro sponges that offer a better and more even distribution on the skin’s surface together with fantastic weightless feeling.


DUAL WHITE COMPLEX

This potent complex is comprised of a pharmaceutical grade isolated fraction of licorice and an extract of the Japanese cherry tree leaf. The two combined extracts grant an anti inflammatory effect because of the inhibition of the histamine releases and whitening effect achieved by the accelerated melanogenesis. This way not only the dark pigments are addressed but also the red pigments present in erythema, a UV induced reaction.

Make sure you shake the sunscreen really well before using it.  The sunscreen should look like emulsion.  If water came out, then you have not shake it well.


SWISS LINE CELL SHOCK WHITE INVISIBLE VEIL SPF 50 PA++



I have been using this sunscreen for about 3 weeks and I can say that I love it.  The sunscreen has a light fragrance which I do like.  Cell Shock white Invisble SPF50 is really invisible on my skin which I really like because it doesn't coloured my skin nor make me look too white.  Some sunscreens will cause a greyish white cast on my face but not this sunscreen!  The sunscreen is like a very light moisturiser which dry down matte and doesn't make my face look oily at all.  It doesn't disrupt your makeup too.  No one even know I am wearing sunscreen.


Overall, it is a good sunscreen which just like the name 'veil'-it protect the skin but it is really light and I can't feel it once I applied it on my skin.  It does its job and doesn't clog the pores.  I can't think of a reason not to like it except that price which can be shocking.  It is a luxury Swiss brands and that is understandable given that it is has the same quality as other high end brands.
