Alright, this is not a healthy food post to say XD. I am sorry that I do eat unhealthy once in awhile. If you have been watching any Asian drama especially the modern drama from Hong Kong, then seeing instant noodles which is a common thing. Many will question if it is that delicious. Yes, I am afraid to say so that these instant are so good that they are addictive.
It is common here, when people ask if you can cook, it does not include cooking 'instant noodles'. This bowl of instant noodles might look like it is cooked by some high end restaurant but it is actually done in less than 5 minutes if you include the eggs XD.
There are many flavour but this is a vegetarian flavour so it is suitable for vegetarians.
There are instructions on how to cook it.
So here is the ingredients. It is not health so only this like once in a while.
I like it with eggs and some vegetables since eating the noodles is just boring.
It is easy to cook it.
Instruction.
1.Boils the water.
2. Once the water is boil, add vegetables and fishballs.
3. Put the noodles in and cooked for 2minutes.
4..Add fried eggs.
5. Add in the flavour according to your needs. I usually only add half a packet or else it is too salty.
Most people in Malaysia prefer the curry, laksa, white curry which are spicy XD. There are many other flavour such as the fried instant noodles too. Instant noodles are really common here since it is easy to cook and delicious although they are not healthy at all. So please do not cook this for your Asian parents or Asian parents in law because it is serious culture faux unless you want them to be unhappy about you feeding their precious children with instant food.
Want to impress your Asian parents in law? Check some of the tough cooking recipe in my blog. XD
So, do you like instant noodles or what is your favourite flavours?

I think it is time for me to talk about some indie products produced in Malaysian soil. Daisy handmade brand produces very affordable handmade products locally and they have many great body products. A friend gifted them to me since I love body stuff and I am thrilled to find some products with ingredients such as rice and papaya.
Clay soap M25-the one in grey
Rice Soap-RM12-RM15
Papaya Soap RM 12
Sinus Soap RM25
The clay mask is suitable for those who have very oily body skin. The clay mask is mix with some other ingredients that you can feel the 'beads'. So, do not scrub the soap directly on the skin.
If you have sensitive skin, it is not recommended. The mask is really made from clay as it smell like one XD. It is really great in getting rid of all the oil, sweat, clean up the pores from underarms for those who sweats a lot.
The Papaya Soap suits those that looks for whitening soap. It provides exfoliation on the skin to get rid of dead cells so it can be slightly drying if you have dry skin type. You do need to combine the soap with other products for better whitening effect.
I love the Rice soap the most as it smells like rice bran and it makes the body skin feels soft and moist. It is not for getting rid of acne but recommended for those looking for soft skin since rice bran is good for normal skin to dry skin type. I think this soap is great for those that looks for rice products and wouldn't want to spend tons of money on rice products. I like this soap =)
I am sorry that I haven't try the Sinus soap since I do not have sinus so it won't have much affect on me.
All the soaps lathered up easily with a lot of foam.
Sea salt body scrub in Lavender
The Sea salt body scrub in Lavender makes my body soft to the touch. Your whole bathroom will smell like lavender =) . The salt is rather soft actually. They have more other interesting scrub such as mangosteen which smell different XD.
Peppermint foot scrub
The peppermint foot scrub is really fine. It is easy to wash the products off and doesn't leave a sticky feeling on the leg. The peppermint scrub smells so nice, minty and fresh. It cleanses the feet well without feeling harsh.
Overall, I am loving the rice soap very much and the peppermint foot scrub. Daisy handmade also have products for post-natal which is useful for mothers.

Are you protecting the skin on your body as much as the skin on your face?

Suntegrity is a brand that made natural mineral sunscreen. Suntegrity’s SPF 30 Natural Mineral Sunscreen for the body is a physical sunscreen that doesn't contain titanium oxide so it is suitable for people looking for physical sunscreen that contains only zinc oxide.

The sunscreen is like cream on my skin, not sticky and moisturising on my skin. It will suits dry skin or during winter than on oily skin type. It does have a white cast which disappeared after 30minutes later.
The sunscreen has the smell of faint oranges which is uplifting if you like orange. The smell disappeared few hours later. Since it is SPF 30, it is recommended to use this as indoor sunscreen instead of the one you use to go to beach.
It is water resistant but does wash off easily with shower gel. I didn't trigger any allergic reaction from me since my body is not so picky. I do love the green tea ingredient in the sunscreen XP.
Do check out the ingredients list because your allergic triggers are not probably not the same as mine.

I am sorry for lack of food reviews or recipes. Here is a food review on MyKluang Coffee.
Kluang is famous for coffee and food.
This outlet I went is in Kluang. It is a corner lot shop next to Aeon Kluang. You will find most people are here for their drinks and cakes.
MY KLUANG COFFEE
Bat theme
Bat theme carved with your table number.
Very nice, clean and beautiful interior design.
Chrysanthemum tea . The tea tastes great =) . Not too sweet but just just nice and it is really fresh brewed with the perfect temperature.
Kuey Teow goreng. There is quite a lot of bean sprouts in this plate. The kuey teow goreng feels lukewarm which is not a preference since I like my food warm. The taste is acceptable but nothing really great about it. There isn't much ingredients in it but for the price of RM5.90 I guess I can't ask much.
Tomato Spaghetti comes with a lot of sauce so much so that my spaghetti is soak in it. I wouldn't complain if is not that sourish. The spaghetti is well cooked and it is not too soft except for the sauce. I wish they could make it less sourish T_T . Portion is good because it is just right for my big stomach.
Mee Rebus is average because I keep comparing it with the one in Perak which is the best Mee Rebus I have ever tasted. This is sweet and I guess it is the usual mee bandung which is supposedly sweet and comes in brown sauce. The ingredients and portion are great but not the sauce. I am sorry that this is another rant.
Classic Fish and Chip
Okay, after so many rants, here is a food that I like. The wedges are really warm, soft and crispy. The portion of wedges, the fish and chips are also huge which I think is really cheap for that price that I pay. It comes with two sauces which is really thoughtful so I can dip into whichever sauce I like. I will recommend to order the fish and chips, any of their drinks or their cakes which I didn't because I am too full to order dessert.
Their customers service is great. The waiter serving us repeat the items I orders and serve us once we have seated despite other customers coming in. The workers wear clean uniform and are quick to our request. Their toilets are really clean and well maintained.
Overall, I think My Kluang needs to improve on some of their dishes because seriously that is going to drawn more customer in. Other than that, everything is great and I would visit My Kluang again.
Food prices:
Mee Rebus RM4.90
Classic Fish and Chip RM11.90
Fried Kuey Teow RM 5.90
Tomato Spaghetti RM 7.90
Chrysanthemum tea RM1.90
Price include GST and they provide free wifi =)

When Klairs launched their new products-Klairs Midnight blue calming cream, my first thought was if the cream is going to be blue? It turns out that the cream is indeed blue because of guaiazulene is an antioxidant derived from chamomile oil. It is a dark blue crystalline hydrocarbon and derivative of azulene, the blue colored constituent of chamomile oil which has anti-inflammatory properties.
KLAIRS MIDNIGHT BLUE CALMING CREAM
KLAIRS MIDNIGHT BLUE CALMING CREAM
If moisturizing just wasn’t enough for your sensitive skin,
Meet the Real Blue Cream to protect your skin from irritations & stress
Klair says,
"The KLAIRS’ Rich Moist Soothing line is loved for its excellent calming & moisturizing effects by many consumers. We believe the primary reason for the popularity of the Soothing line was due to the high satisfaction most of our customers felt from the powerful moisturzing effect. However, we wanted to design the optimal product for the few customers who were still experiencing irritations from external stimuli with additional skin concerns. After a long term of researching with the R&D team, the KLAIRS’s Midnight Blue Calming Cream was created to go that extra mile."
Q1. Why is the cream blue?
Guaiazulene, which is the key ingredient of the Blue Cream, is a plant-based component extracted
from camomile oil. It has a natural violet color, which gradually turns the cream into a gentle blue color
after the blending process.
Q2. I want to know the difference between the 'Blue Cream' & the 'regular cream' !
Different functions :The Blue Cream is made for calming rather than moisturizing, to rapidly soothe the skin in response to an irritation.
Different target areas & usage amounts :Unlike a moisturizing cream, you don't have to apply the Blue Cream to the entire face.
You only need to apply a small, adequate amount to target areas.
Different usage time : The Blue Cream creates a thin, protective layer over the surface of the skin. Night time use is recommended to assist skin regeneration & to prevent makeup from breaking the protective layer.
Q4. Should I use the 'Midnight Blue Calming Cream' or the 'Rich Moist Soothing Cream'?
They're similar but kind of different, which is the best cream for me?
Go through the checklist & choose the best for you.
1) If you want a non-irritating hydration cream for everyday use,
□ Midnight Blue Calming Cream
▣ Rich Moist Soothing Cream
2) If you want fast recovery after a spot extraction or laser procedure,
▣ Midnight Blue Calming Cream
□ Rich Moist Soothing Cream
3) If you are experiencing irritation & heat flashes after sun exposure,
▣ Midnight Blue Calming Cream
□ Rich Moist Soothing Cream
4) If you have oily skin and you want a refreshing, soothing cream,
▣ Midnight Blue Calming Cream
□ Rich Moist Soothing Cream
Main Ingredients
Guaiazulene :With herbal ingredients extracted from chamomile, it shows a dark purple color and is effective in calming the inflammation of damaged skin tissue as well as regeneration of skin cells. Containing 0.03% (similar to contents in an ointment that is currently on the market, Japanese clinical trials demonstrated effects of 89.7% in sunburns, 60.6% in eczema, and 86.5% in ulcerative skin diseases, and is used as the main raw material in burn ointments.)
Centella Asiatica Extract: As a plant native to Madagascar, it is also known as ‘tiger grass’ and is often used in cosmetics as ‘Centella Asiatica.’ Helps regeneration in damaged skin and prevents scarring; primary ingredient in ointments.
Direction:
At the last step of your skin care routine, apply a small amount to areas of sensitivity or irritation, and gently tap in to allow full absorption. Use makeup after the cream is fully absorbed into the skin.
** The blue coloration is due to the presence of Guaiazulene

Klairs box for the Klairs Midnight blue cream is the same as their other box for Klairs products. Only the jar for this Klairs Midnight blue cream is made of heavy dark brown glass which looks kind of elegant but it will be better if the jar is blue.
The blue cream is an eye candy to my eyes XP. It is opaque blue cream which goes on smoothly and turns translucent on the skin. I really need very little for each application on my skin. Using a thick layer can clog my skin. The temporary cooling effect(lasted few seconds upon application) does feel great on the skin but it is not an invitation to use more than needed. So, it is not for treating acne.
The cream smell faintly of soda candies or bubblegums which disappears upon application.
Although the ingredients stated there are Centella, Ceramide 3 and Guaiazulene, please do look into the list of ingredients as there are many ingredients that can potentially cause break out. The ingredients are very hydrating and moisturising so it will be more suitable and show better result for people with skin that is dry damaged types. If you are prone to clog skin, it is better to look into the ingredients first because shea butter is quite high on the list.
The Klairs soothing cream and Klairs Midnight blue cream are different from each other in terms of ingredients and the function so it depends on your skin needs and type.
Overall, a cream that plays better for the skin is damaged, dry or after procedure like lasers and I use it at night as occlusive to the area that tends to be drier. It does slightly reduce my redness after 2 weeks of usage but for someone that look for fast results, you may not have patient for this.
*updated: best to use it with the Klairs Activating Youth Drop for fast calming result.

I am actually bore and you are probably too so I think let’s
go into the questions people like to ask me. Over the years, I have received emails or people pm me in the facebook asking me these few same questions. Here, I am going to say what I think about those questions. So, just take it as a laugh XD .
Acne related questions
I already mentioned millions time that I am not a doctor nor
am I trained in one. I am just a beauty enthusiast
that have tried through trial and errors that I have found products and tips
that works for me. Please check if you have the same skin type, allergies and
living in the same warm humid weather.
My skin is this this this… tell me what to buy?
-I really don’t like this question when people
asked me to direct them immediately to what they should buy. I am not a doctor. Even doctors need tons of information and see
you before making judgment. Don’t just send me a photo and expect me to do
miracle with that alone. I am not paid
and if you are only willing to look for some products that I have never tried
before, do it at your own risk. Besides,
people go to dermatologist and they are usually prescribe with pills while I
can’t since I am not a doctor. So, don’t come to me when you seriously need more than
just a better skincare routine. I think I
have mentioned if you have tried many of the things I mentioned, then better
just go to see a doctor because I can’t do anything for something that is
internal and severe.
I am using green tea foundation. Why it doesn’t help my
skin?
-First, it is makeup and obviously when brand marketed it as
having green tea, I am sure it is very low in the list so don’t expect a makeup
product to help your acne prone skin. I
think I have mentioned makeup clogged the pores. People like to think that all
the wonderful plant ingredients are going to do wonderful thing in MAKEUP.
MAKEUP not matter what it is is still MAKEUP and won’t get rid of skin problems and care for the
skin. I don’t think I ever said that Foundation gets RID of my acne or soothes my skin right???
I am in this country. I want to buy these things. Get it for
me now.
I think I have mentioned millions time that I am NOT A SHOP
and I don’t sell things. OR there are these nasty people trying to get free
things or scams? There is link to the
shop if you want to buy. Some people don’t
even get it when I already said that I don’t sell things and is not a SHOP. Keep telling me to get the products for them
which I am pretty sure that they are scammers.
Some understand that I don’t sell and usually inform them of the another
brand for it as well where they can get it.
Do you photoshoped your photos because your skin looks good?
Personally, I don’t know how to use photoshop. I am terrible
at it and I am just using the photoscape to edit the brightness and to
watermark it. My skin as you know is
acne prone so I break out easily when I use something wrong. That is why I don’t blog daily as my skin can’t
keep up with constant trial. Do you know
how afraid I am every time I have to try a new product?
Besides, I usually try a product for a month or at least two
weeks before putting it up on my post to be sure of my views on it. I also continue to use those products until I ran out of them because I don’t want to waste products. I don’t know how to even use concealer to put
up makeup so you will usually see my total bare face for every skincare
products I have tried. Besides, I don’t like to apply makeup when I am just
going to go sleep then after the skincare.
My skin is not ‘good’ everyday. Sometimes I have redness because my skin gets
irritated. So please don’t talk about
good genes because I have a whole face of acne in the past and my father have
severe acne that has pits all over his face.
You are beauty blogger, why don't you do makeup review often?
Actually, I only use eyebrow and also lip products because I
am honestly terrible in choosing colour based on just the website. Besides, I rather spend money on skincare
than makeup that I will probably just use few times since I am lazy and have no
events that needs me to wear something nice. Some
people doesn’t even know when I use
makeup or don’t so might as well go bare face.
Another is I am lazy to practice the makeup on my face so I am not good
with makeup. I am more excited with lips
products and eyebrow than with the latest foundation that has the texture of serum.
Are you paid for your reviews? You seem to get many products for free.
I am not paid for my reviews-not a cent because I don’t
think it fits my principle if I am told to write a glowing review even when I hate
the product. I won’t use words like “trash,
useless’ and harsh words to describe the products I do not
like. This go across all products be it
I bought it myself or sponsored ones because I think people will know if I am
just trying to sugar something up or to damm that product too much because I hate the people or the company for breaking promises.
Besides, I think brands should probably take views into consideration to
produce better products instead of being smug about it.
I received sponsored products so that I have more products
to review or just because I am curious about a certain product. Okay, I do
admit that being a poor working person with the whole family to feed makes me unable to spend on things too expensive on so having some sponsored
products help me to have more varieties.
I am really grateful and thankful when I do received products and so I try
to review them with my best effort and be honest about them.
Another thing is it is not good to keep switching products after
products and that is why some will only accept high end brands or do makeup
since it is risky, product might wreck the skin and no one wants to wake up
with a pizza face. Besides, it is not
easy to show you my real skin especially when it is bad and I look like crap.
So, I think that are my opinions and it is not trying to defame anyone. If you have any questions, do leave it in the comments section.
Opinions expressed here are my own and honest as always. It is also not to tarnished or to disgrace anyone.
Many celebrities attest their flawless skin to using sheet masks everyday. While we do not have such fat wallet to be sheet masking daily, using sheet masks few times in a week does make us feel pampered and destress.
A hydrated and calm face is surely a good base for makeup.
Today, I am reviewing a popular gel sheet mask from Japan. I also see this in the Cosme japan rank as one of the best sheet mask for dry sensitive skin. Minon Amino Moist Mask. Minon is also really famous for products for sensitive skin since they do not have fragrance in them.
MINON AMINO MOIST MASK
Manufacturer
DAIICHI SANKYO HEALTHCARE
Brand
MINON
Release Date
2015/02/22
Product Description
New Formula. Formulated to fight dry fine lines. Provides extra moisturizers to support the skin's natural moisture barrier. The soft, low-irritant sheet mask contours to the face, providing rich hydration without dripping or losing its serum. The rich gel moisturizers soak into the skin, restoring hydration and firmness.
Sorry for the terrible placing on my face XD. I look silly with it.
MINON AMINO MOIST MASK
Minon Amino Moist mask is made from the cotton mask which is thin, mesh-like, hug the skin and doesn't budge once you place it on the skin. The mask fit is suitable even for those with bigger face than I do so I think that is great. It doesn't fall off my face even when I sit upright . It has a transparent jelly-gel essence instead the usual watery essence making this a sheet- mask-in-gel-essence. There are enough gel essence in the sheet mask.
I wore it for about 30minutes and the moisture do last on my face and it better than traditional paper sheet mask. It is recommended that you apply your toner, essence and serum for it to get absorb into the skin with the help of this mask. It does feel cooling, comfortable and no irritation my skin. The gel mask is like a sleeping mask and makes my skin hydrated until the next morning.
There is no added fragrance and I really can't smell anything from the mask. I can understand why dry&sensitive skin will like it because it does hydrate, cool and reduce the redness on the skin after the usage. It is also a great mask for those doesn't fancy hydrogel but wanting something with gel.
This mask is sure something luxurious and meant for special occasion because I will surely be broke if I use it daily. XP
