REVIEW ON THURSDAY PLANTATION TEA TREE OIL

Tea tree oil is a familiar ingredient for acne prone skin or called trouble skin.  It is a very important ingredients for someone looking for natural approaches and for oily skin type.

If you have oily skin with acne problems then tea tree oil is actually useful.  It has actually been years since I tried tea tree oil but I have finally decided to try Thursday Plantation.  In the past, I tried some other brands that has tea tree products before.

THURSDAY PLANTATION TEA TREE OIL

Here is the box.

THURSDAY PLANTATION TEA TREE OIL

Here is the instructions on how to use it.

THURSDAY PLANTATION TEA TREE OIL

THURSDAY PLANTATION TEA TREE OIL

The brown glass bottle is to prevent changes to the ingredients.  Tea tree can be oxidized by air and also light.  It is 100% pure because tea tree doesn't need any preservatives since the oil is antimicrobial and antifungal.

THURSDAY PLANTATION TEA TREE OIL

I like that there is a stopper to prevent leaking and to avoid accidentally pouring everything out when we only need few drops.

Tea tree oil has a strong fresh camphor smell to it. It has clear yellowish watery texture and colour.

Tea tree oil is actually very much potent in its undiluted form.  If you have sensitive skin, do applied moisturiser after that or else be prepared to feel the 'burn', dryness or irritation.  My skin turn red if I don't apply anything after that.  Alternative mix it with moisturiser before applying it to your face.

I also mix it with green tea to make toner and mist.

A reader, Luscious shared her beauty tips that is mixing tea tree with ylang ylang.  Too bad, it is hard for me to find ylang ylang in my country =(  . If you could find it, then try it because ylang ylang is very calming to the skin.

I find that tea tree oil does help to shrink those pimples.  Getting the oil is more useful since there are many ways to use it.  Besides applying directly on face, you can use it for DIY tea tree masks, mix it with shampoo to treat dandruff, to avoid mosquitoes and create your own mixture with other oil.

A must to have in every hold =).


Do not eat tea tree oil as it is toxic for consumption.

Do not use it:
-While pregnant or breast-feeding without medical supervision
-Near eyes. Seek medical attention if contact occurs
-On children under 2 years old
-Undiluted essential oils on children under 12 years old. Skin patch test prior to use.

L’OCCITANE CHARITY FUNDRAISING FOR THE BLIND INITIATIVE 2015/2016

L’OCCITANE and the L’OCCITANE Foundation have been working hand in hand with many organisations that are dedicated to fighting blindness. Did you know that there are almost 285 million blind or visually-impaired people throughout the world? However, the shocking thing is that 80% of blindness is actually preventable! This problem is especially apparent in low- or medium-income countries, where 90% of the visually-impaired live. So far, more than 1,500,000 people have benefitted from eye care thanks to L’OCCITANE’s efforts to support the blind and visually-impaired.

Just like the sighted, the blind and visually-impaired should have equal access to everything, including knowledge, facilities and even personal beauty products and toiletries. All of L’OCCITANE’s product packaging comes with Braille text, which enables them to obtain the best of beauty in its natural state. Everyone deserves the opportunity and convenience to enjoy the feeling of being pampered, and in line with the brand’s philanthropy, L’OCCITANE recognises the importance of making life easier for the visually-impaired.



Beginning from year 2011, L’OCCITANE also presents the L’OCCITANE Sight Award, which awards 50,000 € once every 2 years to an ophthalmologist for his or her research work in contributing to the fight against avoidable blindness in developing countries. In 2011, the award was given to professor Volker Klauss for his work in Africa. In April 2014, the second L’OCCITANE Sight Award was attributed to Dr. Clare Gilbert, which helped to fund eye screenings of 10,000 children in Bangladesh.



On a local front, L’OCCITANE Malaysia began its charity for the blind initiative in 2008 to give back to the local community. The brand works closely with the Malaysian Association for the Blind (MAB) to help improve the lives of the blind and visually-impaired in Malaysia. Since year 2013/2014, L’OCCITANE has also added St. Nicholas’ Home, Penang, to its list of beneficiaries.



In conjunction with International World Sight Day on 8 October 2015, L’OCCITANE Malaysia is organising its signature charity campaign for its 7th year running. This year’s theme, “The Fight Against Avoidable Blindness”, will involve raising funds for MAB and St. Nicholas’ Home. The funds will be channelled into conducting eye screenings and prescribing glasses for those who require attention, among others. Through this initiative, L’OCCITANE Malaysia also hopes to create greater awareness on the roles played by the L’OCCITANE Foundation and L’OCCITANE Malaysia in sight-related charity projects, so that all Malaysians will know more about the causes.



This year’s fundraising initiative will benefit the Ipoh branch of MAB. Located in Kinta Valley, the centre helps many individuals from the low-income sector such as farmers, who have limited access to hospitals and are not exposed to information on eye disease and the prevention of blindness. Eye screenings will be performed on: a) elderly people who have cataracts, and advice for cataract surgery will be provided; b) children between 5 – 17 years old who have refractive errors, where spectacles will be prescribed to improve their vision; and c) students with low vision problems who will be prescribed with Telescopic Magnifiers or Pebble Magnifiers.





For St. Nicholas’ Home, the funds will be used to provide eye screenings for at least 500 students in rural areas, including pre-schools. At least 100 people from the low-income group will also receive free spectacles or intra-ocular lenses that help to correct their vision. As for the general public, awareness will be created by organising exhibitions and talks on eye care in schools and community centres. Last but not least, St. Nicholas’ Home will organise workshops and training for community workers, medical staff and teachers on the importance of eye screening as well as other vision-related issues.




Every year, L’OCCITANE Malaysia introduces a solidarity fundraising product. This product is then sold in L’OCCITANE boutiques throughout the campaign period, and all the profits gained will go to selected local NGOs to support the visually-impaired in various ways.


Mr. Tan Seong Teck, Director of L’OCCITANE Malaysia, expressed his thoughts on L’OCCITANE’s charity efforts. “Year 2015 marks our 7th year of organising our annual fundraising campaign. It’s become one of L’OCCITANE Malaysia’s signature events, and every year, the response is extremely positive. At L’OCCITANE, we aspire to be more than just a beauty brand that makes and sells products. Our founder, Mr. Olivier Baussan, has long-believed that the values of authenticity, respect and sensoriality should be applied in real life, especially in the sense of helping those who are less fortunate. To date, we’ve raised a total of RM233,240.00 (two hundred thirty three and two hundred forty thousand) which has been channelled to NGOs in Malaysia to help the blind and visually-impaired. Furthermore, we’re very lucky to have customers and fans of L’OCCITANE who also uphold these wonderful values. Together, we’re able to make a difference, and that’s what counts. I urge everyone to join L’OCCITANE Malaysia in “The Fight Against Avoidable Blindness” and make a difference for the blind and visually-impaired.”



L’OCCITANE Malaysia’s fundraising initiative 2015/2016 will run from 7 October to 31 December 2015. The special-edition Shea Foot Cream & Tin Box set (30ml, RM41) will be available at all L’OCCITANE boutiques nationwide.

REVIEW ON BATISTE XXL VOLUME DRY SHAMPOO

Batiste swept the world with its dry shampoo!  

Thank goodness for the creation of dry shampoo.  Dry shampoo makes it easy for travel and saving the time of washing and drying the hair every day.  My hair gets greasy fast even if it is just after two hours of washing.  It will just go limp.  Since I am away from places like Kuala Lumpur, I went online searching for the best price and I found it!  Do check it at the bottom if you want to know where I bought it.

The back of the bottle.  Do not in anyway use it near fire or any source of fire.

BATISTE XXL VOLUME DRY SHAMPOO

The nozzle.

BATISTE XXL VOLUME DRY SHAMPOO

This is XXL is not for dry hair type because it does make the hair feels drier.  There is silica and talc so that is one of the reason that this absorb the grease better.  However, it sure suits oily and greasy scalp.

BEFORE BATISTE XXL VOLUME DRY SHAMPOO

 My hair looks like crap here.  In case you are wondering, I don't have dark black hair.  This is my natural hair colour and I didn't dye it.

USING BATISTE XXL VOLUME DRY SHAMPOO

Alright, I look like I am 50 years old here.  Do not spray as much as I do here.  I just wanted to show how it looks like.  Sorry also, I didn't apply any makeup here. XP  Sorry. Hopefully it is does not scare the daylight out of you.

AFTER  BATISTE XXL VOLUME DRY SHAMPOO

It feels cooling when you spray it which is nice for such hot weather in Malaysia.  It does make my hair looks bigger just as I had just blow dry my hair.  Best thing is the effect stays for few hours !  Finally, big hair =) .  This is especially useful for someone like me whose hair just turn limp after washing.

It smell nice too since it has light floral scent. Love the scent.

Batiste has other version such as the Batiste "Clean & Classic Original" which is more suitable for pregnant women and mother in confinement.  This is because there is less ingredients.  By the way, I have already check that there is no harmful ingredients in there that can potentially harm your skin or baby. So it is safe to use.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ASIAN AND WESTERN SKINCARE PRODUCTS

Skincare products and cosmetics are part of beauty regime. With so many choices, it is not easy to make choices. I was introduced to western products in the past and also Asian brands. I think most of the time; I was going between western and also cosmetics products so I figured that I could voice my thought on this.

Western skincare VS Asian skincare

I think there are many brands from different western countries and seriously I have not used them all. However, I can say that there are differences between skincare from France, US, New Zealand, Switzerland, Australia and New Zealand. There are also differences between the organic, drugstores and also department brands. All I could say is not everything is organic and  expensive brands does not guarantee that it is good. Also not all cheap drugstore brands are lousy.

As for Asian skincare products there are differences between skincare from Korea, Japan, Thailand, Taiwan, Malaysia and China. Again, I should not say that I had tried all of those products. I will not say everything that comes from Asia are good because I had tried some that broke me out or just doesn’t fit my skin type.

I notice that most Asian will start with using product from drugstores and ‘upgrade’ it to more expensive brands once they start working or when they have the money. It is also common for Asian to be using western products that are popular with the mass.



I think the drastic differences between Asian skincare products and Western skincare products are:



Choices for variety of skincare types

-I think Korean products really have a lot of skincare products for many skincare types. You can get moisturiser for acne prone, dry skin, big pores, sensitive and for age 30 years old.

I can’t get that from western products because most of the products produced are just for oily, teenagers’ skin type. I will break out even more if I use the wrong products.

There are skincare products market for certain skin types, age and concern. So, that makes it easier for me to find products according to my skin and problems.



Price

Many will say Asian skincare products are cheaper than Western skincare products. It is Yes and NO. Just like Western department brands and drugstore brands, it goes the same for Asian skincare products. Some of the brands like SKII, Sulwhasoo, Whoo and etc are high end brands that are priced the same if not equal like some western brands.

It is just that I will say there are more qualities products even among the cheaper brand like Nature Republic, Skinmiso, Thefaceshop,Innisfree, Secret Key, Missha and etc because of the competitions among the brands. So, we as the consumers can get good quality products even from roadshop brands.



Packaging

Western brands do not have fancy packaging because most of the time, the quality of the product is what matters and that with really sleek looking packaging comes with high cost as well. However, with competition from the East, I think many western brands has step up their game to look into their packaging now.



Asian brands especially Korean has such cute packaging that we felt sad to even throw away those boxes away which also makes their products really appealing to consumers like us. Who are not tempted by packaging by Etude House, Tony Moly and History of Whoo? So pretty.


Texture

I think there are many texture in the Asian skincare products than in the West. There is pudding, gel, foam, serum, mist, jelly, mochi and cream form of skincare products that I think it is impossible for one not able to find the type that they like.

Also the reason that there are so many names for different skincare products that it was so confusing if you are new to Asian skincare products. It doesn’t stick to their skincare products but also their sunscreen which has so many texture that one am surely lost at what to buy.

Western products are easier to choose from but because of it also, you do not much choice. I could say western cream is really much heavier than Korean cream. Most of the sunscreen also has heavier texture which I don’t really like.

However, I won’t say that all Asian skincare products are amazing or all are better than Western skincare products.



It is just matter of reading up the ingredients and avoid those that can potentially gives you allergy.

Innovations and trends

The trends and innovations really moved fast in Asian so the companies has to really churn out products that are really innovative and works wonderful for most skin types.  Thanks to that also we have so many products such as the snail’ cream, bb cream, cc cream, cushion and dupe for western products that really work wonderfully at affordable price.  Even sheet masks has been upgraded to cellulose and hydrogel masks.

Trends move really fast to entice and to fulfill the demands for skincare products here.  Most aim for beautiful skin than buying the latest makeup products here.  So, I think that is why there are more skincare products than makeup here in Asia.

Overall, I think there are things I like about Asian and Western skincare products.  Here is several recommendation that I will suggest you to look in you are interested to try Asian skincare products or just to add into your skincare regime or compare to western skincare products.

Asian skincare products

Japanese sunscreen or one made for Japanese- these are usually has very light texture and not clogging.

Korean Moisturiser for acne and summer- there are many types of moisturizers that are can fit skin types, age and also skincare concern.  However, if you want moisturiser for winter, look for western one because I find Asian moisturiser too light even if it is said for dry skin and not enough to moisturize the peeling skin.

Taiwanese and Korean sheet masks-there are many choices, cheap and works better than western one.

Dupe products:  There are many really famous dupe products such as dupe of Estee Lauder, dupe of SKII that have even better ingredients and it is more affordable.

Sleeping masks- these are really famous for the moisturizing properties and many leave the skin really moisturize.

Toner- generally Asian toner are better than Western toner. I find Asian toner more hydrating and less harsh on my skin.

Acne products-there is many products out there for every acne skin type and age which make it easier to choose.  Also it is less drying on skin. I will say look for moisturiser, toner and spot products for acne prone from famous Korean brands.

Brightening&whitening products-  Many are shocked that we want to 'whiten' our skin.  Actually it is more like having porcelain fair skin.  Asian dislike going darker than their natural skin colour.  The fairer the better actually.  So, whitening and brightening products are always in trend and more develop in Asian since there is always demand of light texture, pores reducing and gentle to the skin.

As for Western skincare products

Cleansers- I prefer the natural gel texture that is really different from Asian foam cleanser that doesn’t really suit my skin.  I think Western gentle cleanser are more PH balance that Asian cleanser.  Besides, the innovate Micellar cleansers started from the French brand Bioderma which I still do love.

Clay&mud mask-I think the clay&mud masks made by Western brands are stronger in terms of the effect on my skin.

Cream for winter-Western cream sure has thicker texture and more suitable for winter.  It is the one I will look for when my skin is too dry.

Oil- There is many oil products and essential oil that I do adore from the Western brand.  I guess it is because the effect of oil on my skin makes me have preference towards Western skincare products if I want to buy oil products.

Organic products- I love many of the organic brands but of course it is more expensive but it is more gentle and hydrating to my skin.

So, I think that is what I think about Western and Asian skincare products.  I will talk about Western VS Asian makeup products in another post since this is already too long.  Hopefully you will find this helpful.  If you are unsure of Asian skincare products do visit this link Here

REVIEW ON MIACARE ACNE PATCH DAY&NIGHT(9+9'S) AND GIVEAWAY

Hydrocolloid patches for pimples are good alternative than using our dirty hands to pop our skin that can potentially leave scars. Today, I am reviewing Acne Patch Day & Night (9+9’s) from Miacare.

There are 9 patches for night and 9 patches for day.  Both patches are seal individually so to avoid contamination of the products.  I think it is really for hygiene reason.  There is also graphic photos to show the steps on how to use which is really useful for first time user.

MIACARE ACNE PATCH DAY&NIGHT(9+9'S)

MIACARE ACNE PATCH DAY&NIGHT(9+9'S)

MIACARE ACNE PATCH DAY&NIGHT

The day patches are thinner and not obvious on the skin unless you are standing very near me.

The night pacthes are stronger in terms of absorption of pus but of course it look more obvious on the skin.

Change it once the patches turn white or after 12 hours. If you do not have pimples, then it just stay looking like that without turning white.

MIACARE ACNE PATCH DAY&NIGHT(9+9'S)

There is no smell and once it is on the face, you can't see it.  I don't have pimples with visible pus but as you can see here, the area is red and hard, so I applied the Day patch on that area. The patches did a wonderful job of reducing the redness and suck up the pus from the under the skin!

KOREAN SKINCARE TIPS 3

Beauties,

I am really excited to share with you on some skincare tips I got from watching some of the Korean beauty shows.  Some of it are really useful and I have personally tried it myself.  For the past months, I have been under the weather and thus fewer posts XP. (lack of motivation)

Along that, I was actually thinking if anyone cares at all.  I think I wouldn't still be writing if not for readers who say they love, care and find my blog helpful.  Thank you again for patronising my blog and also leave comments.

So, while I feel motivated to write, I decided to share this skincare tips.  I already wrote about skincare tip and skincare tips2 so do check it out.


I am horrible in doing makeup and that is the reason I care more about using skincare products and the techniques.  I prefer to go out bare face than do the 'no makeup look'.



1.  The whitening pack mask-using powered red beans+ water and leave it on the face for 30 minutes.

2.  The cleansing- add aloe vera to the foam cleanser for a better clean and calm the acne/trouble skin.

3. Apple mask-apply the grated apple on the skin for 2minutes to peel the skin.  sensitive skin can wash of after 1min

4. Vitamin C- use vitamin C serum after the peeling. some use the vitamin C from body shop.  I love this Vitamin C serum from Korea.use vitamin at night or you will risk getting pigmentation and dark spots.

5.  Massage your face and neck for better absorption of skincare.

6.  Beer for soaking your feet to remove dead skin

7.  You can actually mix two types of cleanser for better cleansing.  Saw the girl actually mix a pore cleanser with a hydrating cleanser.

8.  Vitamin E doesn't really help with the scars.  Some people can get irritated by it.



It is just sharing here.  Opinions expressed here are my own and honest as always.

SEAWEED NOODLES RECIPE

Dear readers,


Sorry that I didn’t have any food review or recipe this month because I was busy, sick and too stress up to be able to cook. Someone told me that she likes to read my food post and so here is one.

A simple recipe where anyone can cook.


I do this when I am busy and just want something with soup and after all seaweed is good for the body. Just don’t eat too much of it. > < Everything in moderation.


This is simply Chinese way of cooking so I am not sure about other Asian cooking. Nevertheless, it is easy =) .

I had a wonderful moments with Phyto shampoo Here and I really adore their hair products. They don't just works phenomenal but are are gentle to my oily scalp. LOVE!

As usual, Phyto has such futuristic bottle and I love the design.

The shampoo bottle has a bigger cylindrical look but it contain the same amount of shampoo.Becareful when you pour the content because it is filled up to the cap and the solution is a watery.

PHYTO PARIS PHYTOPANAMA DAILY BALANCING SHAMPOO

✓ preserve the beneficial flora of the scalp and reduce the presence of harmful germs
✓ Purify and effectively cleanse scalp and hair

PHYTO PARIS PHYTOPANAMA DAILY BALANCING SHAMPOO

Here is the ingredients list.  Phyto doesn't have any artificial colouring or anything that anything ingredients that can potentially harm the scalp or cause sensitivity.  Phytopanama has a ph of 6 -7 which is suitable to balance the ph on oily scalp.

Next good reason is because there is no thickener to thicken the texture of the shampoo which might irritate and clogged the scalp of people who has oily scalp.  So, next time, do check if the texture of the shampoo.

The shampoo foam up very little almost none at all but it does not mean that it is not cleaning the hair well.  In fact, the shampoo really cleanses my hair very well without any irritation.  My scalp is not too dry but very well balanced and I love it!  Even without any conditioner, my hair feels really soft and light.  It doesn't dry my hair at all even if I use it everyday.  How to fall in love with a shampoo that is so gentle, cleanses so well, smell so herbal and fabulous?

The shampoo itself is so good on its own that it save my pocket for I don't need to use conditioner or all those sort of hair mask at all.  Phyto brands also mentioned that there is no need for conditioner or other hair products for oily scalp as it can worsen the hair condition.  How not to like a brand that provide such honest and helpful tips?

I also loses lesser hair with every wash after I started using this Phytopanama daily balancing shampoo compare to before. Love this shampoo very much!

Next time if you have problem with your hair, do check out Phyto brands. Phyto sure has many really good amazing natural products and many usually return after their first try of their products.  I am sold too after trying their products. =)

Products retails at RM99.82 for 200ml. Made in France. You can find it in Guardian Online, Sephora and Isetan KLCC

REVIEW ON TIMELESS TRUTH INSTANTANEOUS BRIGHTENING COOLING MASK

Hi Beauties,

This review is overdued.I just realise that it is sitting inside my draft for so long...hahahaha.

I got this mask recently from my haul here.  It is quite a famous mask from Taiwan.  Since, the weather is so hot, I decided to just try this cooling mask because I just can't stand the heat.  It is either so hot that even the ground cracked and the trees wilt or worried that it might flood anytime because it rains non stop.  So, to feel as if I am putting my face inside the freezer I decided to get this mask.

I do love the metallic blue packet.  The mask sheet is quite thick and it is durable.  It has cooling effect on the skin after I applied on the skin for about 2 minutes.  I can feel the cooling effect through the time the mask was on my face.  It does brighten up and hydrate my skin for few hours. My pores temporary look smaller too.

I think it is not bad for the price.  It is good to use to reduce the size of the pores and for the cooling feeling that the mask provides.  A sure treat for the face for a weather or in summer.

NEW HEADER&BLOG DESIGN

Dearest readers,

Thanks for staying with me.  I was sick for the past few weeks and have not recovered yet.   Today, just wanted to share about this new header and template.

Do you like my new template and header?  I know that for the past few years I have been using some free header and template.  I lost the photoshop software along with the laptop.  Besides, I am not good in editing my photos so that is one of the reason that many has to bear with my ugly header for quite some time until someone told me that many bloggers around the world are using the same header.  Thus, I changed it to a another header temporary until I come up with this one.

Thanks to readers who leave lovely comments in my blog and brands that has been very kind to me too.

I had messed up a lot of my previous free template so I have decided to discard it.  It was quite hard working with a free template and it took me a month to fix that up.

Currently, I am just using one of the simple blogger template. I edited, changes and add in some build in. It is easier to work with the template that blogger offer than with some free templates that only allows you to edit in HTML codes which just look like bunches of foreign language to me. > <

Do let me know if my blog is working fine or if you would like me to change the font or size for easier reading. I am not sure how it looks for your.

I am not a programmer and many of the changes are made with help from googling.  Some tips offer in some site doesn't work.  I added the drop down box but still figuring out how to actually link it without using the labels. Unlike Wordpress, Blogger doesn't have many function to offer.

If anyone wanted to edit their template, consider the concept, header, colours and words.  I think that itself has taken me quite a lot of time to just work on that.  Make sure you do put lots of thoughts into your header.


So, here it is. Hopefully you will like it.
