Cornflake Cranberry Cookie which is their best seller is so good that I ate it all up in one sitting. It is crispy and made with healthy ingredients, free from preservative, flavourings and refined sugars.

Aroma Beads in Rosy Lemonade by Candlenutsbynadia .  This is a nice gesture as aroma beads last a long time and they smell just so good as their lovely candles.
Their candles are environmentally friendly and very affordable.  Their Aroma Beads smell so nice and handy. Candlenutsbynadia is the first hand poured candle in Malaysia that use palm wax.  The paraffin is not good for health and environment. We can also blend our own scent and create our own signature.  The candle 120g of 40-45 hrs burn for RM25.90.

Mediheal | Line friends N.M.F Aquaring Ampoule Mask.  The Line friend are just so cute. This mask is for moisturising and help to manage the sebum.

Hi wanderlusts,
When you are travelling to another place, it is also about the food.  Since I wrote about the things to see in Teluk Intan, here is the food in Teluk Intan.  There are some Halal food that you can find in Teluk Intan but please do not visit them during Hari Raya or during Chinese New Year, there is nothing that you can get to eat if you visit Teluk Intan during that two big festivals in Malaysia.

Here are some places that locals eat and places to eat in Teluk Intan. I will have individual post for some of the places to eat since I went to more than 3 places to eat and it is too long to put in this one post.

REVIEW ON FIRST COSMETIC MULBIT MEDIST (Vitamin Mist)

Hi beautifuls,

This month, I received First Cosmetic Mulbit Medist (vitamin Mist) from BNT News.

Do you feel the same as I am? I fell for gimmicky products that promises to do something amazing for the skin  but at the same questioned if it will do something. I am a skeptical person but at the same time just do not want to miss something to make my skin..better?  Who don't right?

So here is the First Cosmetic Mulbit Medist (vitamin Mist) review.

 Here is the ingredient lists.

First Cosmetic Mulbit Medist (vitamin Mist)

 The box containing the products are really pretty and beautiful.  Inside, there are two bottles. One is the princess looking plastic bottle containing the capsule which look like medicine pills to me.
Another, bottle is a glass bottle to use as mist.

There are four colours that represent different purposes so think of as vitamin water for the face.

Green: Anti-wrinkle
Blue: Skin reproduction
Yellow: Whitening
Pink: Skin condition management


*CAUTION*
Don’t forget to re-open the cap 1-2 hour after closing it to release carbonated gas (if you close it before the tablets are melted, the spray will get ruined due to pressure

The ingredients sure do interesting with ingredients such as trehalose, niacinamide, biotin, hydrolyzed collagen, adenosine, strawberry, lemon, lavender, camellia sinenis , aloe vera, rosemary and citric acid.

I do like the glass bottle since I do like mist which is easy to use.  I use it as mist or with compressed sheet mask depending on my skin condition of the day.  It does stain if the water landed on things with whitish stuff so be careful.  Also make sure to wash the hands if you have any contact with the mist as I do feel like I have layer of soda powder on my hands.

Put warm water into the glass about 2/3 and two capsules and wait for the capsules to just melt.  I do like the satisfaction of seeing the capsules melted colouring the water.  There is some sort of fragrance-the kind of fragrance you get with perfume.  I think artificial smell especially in a skincare products is no longer a popular factor since it does not have any effect in making the products more effective.  Besides, many people find artificial fragrant irritating.  There are some sort of colouring in the capsules.(No idea if the colouring is natural coloring)

The Yellow (Whitening) does provide immediate brightening effect on the skin which lasted a few hours.  I think it does work best before using makeup on the face or as mist to set up the makeup.

The Green: (Anti-wrinkle) is just normal hydration to me since I don't get to use it long enough to see much effect.

The Blue: (Skin reproduction): It hydrates my skin and slight brightening.

I use the Pink: (Skin condition management) I use this capsule the most to see if it helps my acne prone skin.  It helps to calm my skin but not sure if it does anything in clearing my breakouts.

I also tried using them with compressed mask to test the effect and I think it is mostly hydration to me. I can't finish the bottle of the mist alone in a day and keeping it next day does decrease the effect compare to using it immediately after the capsules melted off.

I am not sure if there are much effect at all since I am not used to the strong artificial fragrance and the skin on my face tends to get really irritated from prolong use of fragrance so I guess that is the reason that I am not seeing much effect from using the First Cosmetic Mulbit Medist (vitamin Mist).

Overall, First Cosmetic Mulbit Medist (vitamin Mist) is a fun Princess looking mist which has interesting concept. It think the product will have better effect on someone that doesn't have problem with fragrance.  Also normal skin type will find the vitamin mist capsules easy to use and cute at that.

Dr. Althea Power Whitening Glutathione Mask

Its efficacies are whitening, moisturizing, calming and detoxification. The main ingredient is Glutathione, which is recognized as the world efficient whitening ingredients. It also has anti-aging and detoxification properties, to help whiten and firm skin. Glutathione whitening effect is 8.5-fold than the Arbutin and anti-aging effect is hundredfold than the vitamin.

Dr.Althea Power Whitening Glutathione Mask

Dr.Althea Power Whitening Glutathione Mask is a hydrogel type mask which is separated into two pieces which makes the hydrogel sheet mask fits my face well and doesn't slide off. The material is like other hydrogel .

Dr.Althea Power Whitening Glutathione Mask

The sheet mask is sandwiched between a plastic and pearl paper.

I can't remember if there any scent to it.

Dr.Althea Power Whitening Glutathione Mask

Be careful and place the patterns one outside while the smooth one on your face.

Dr.Althea Power Whitening Glutathione Mask

The hyrogel sheet mask feels cooling and it does get thinner as time goes by and so it must remove once it is reaches the point of 1 hour or maybe 1hour 30minutes . 1 hour is quite long and the sheet mask probably will be as thin as snake skin by then 😂.

The ingredients inside are mostly brightening ingredients and hydrating the skin at the same time.  It does contain plant extract such as rose, licorice, grape, coconut oil, green tea extract, Artemisia Princeps Leaf Extract, Houttuynia Cordata Extract, jojoba oil, castor oil and yuzu extract.  There are also propolis, Lactobacillus Ferment,Niacinamide, Titanium Dioxide, Glutathione(100ppm),Pearl Powder and Hydrolyzed Collagen which are for brightening the skin😊.

Search on the CosDNA shows all the ingredients are mostly in green and acne causing ingredients are very low in list .  Still check the ingredients for potential allergen since I don't typical react to sheet mask.  You might not be the same as me so do have a look at the ingredient list😶.

I don't really respond much to whitening products especially sheet mask so I guess other than hydration and temporary brightening,  you won't see me rave about the of 'instant magical' effect some people rave about in their reviews about sheet mask.

Overall, Dr.Althea Power Whitening Glutathione Mask is a hydrogel sheet mask if you are willing to splurge on a brightening mask for a special occasion. It does give a better effect in terms of hydration and longer wear duration compared to the usual paper sheet masks.

 It is actually transparent so no matter how thick I put on my face, one can't actually sees it on photo.

Canmake Transparent Finish Powder

😍 Canmake Transparent Finish Powder comes in Pearl Natural and Pearl Lavender.  The one I have here is the Pearl Lavender which explain the Lavender colour.

Of course the light sturdy plastic packaging is the center of the beautiful princess appearance that strikes my heart.

It comes with a mirror and the sponge is soft.  It easier to use brush for easier application but the sponge will do as well.  The powder is really fine and soft.  It doesn't contain fragrance so it is good if you doesn't like fragrance makeup product.

Canmake Transparent Finish Powder does contain gold flecks that provide slight brightening but not to the point that looking like a disco ball and you will only notice the gold fleck if you are 1cm away from my face. From far, it is just a nice translucence skin.  The powder feels soft to touch and does keep the face matte for 8 hours. It doesn't break me out or cause me clogged my pores, easily wash off using my normal cleanser and it is not waterproof.

However, it will crease if applied too many times(more than 5 times) on the skin so ease up on the amount of powder use.

Overall, Canmake Transparent Finish Powder is a pretty good oil control for face, affordable price and for you who just want to tone down the oily sleek of skin that some foundation or BB cream makes.
