REVIEW ON BLOOP MARINE 4 IN 1 PURE ALOE VERA GEL


BLOOP

THE bloop EQUATION: bloop = make up – (the fuss) + Fun x Your Imagination

The information are from HiShop Malaysia.


This cool and refreshing moisturizing gel consists of pure aloe vera extracts that whitens, hydrates, moisturizes and soothes your skin all at the same time. This leaves skin optimally hydrated, smooth and supple. It also protects the skin against free radicals and help you look younger.


The directions given was apply a small amount over dry, cleansed face.


 BLOOP MARINE 4 IN 1 PURE ALOE VERA GEL

Bloop Marine 4-In-1 Pure Aloe Vera Gel (35g)
This is the bottle.  It look really hygienic right?  Besides, it is easy to bring around inside your handbag since it is small.  Depending on how much you need to use, three pumps is enough for my whole face.  It smell a little like licorice.  The smell is very faint and will disappear upon application.  The main ingredient is Aloe Vera and the second is the licorice extract.  I find it really cooling on my face and really help with the healing process as i just break out again.  sob sob.  You can even use aloe vera as mask when you feel that the face is dry and need some hydrating.

I will just apply it on my face for 5minutes and let it dry up.  I am too lazy to it wash it off.  Sometimes, i even use aloe vera on those insect bites to help them heal up.  I think that it does help to lessen those itchiness.  Well, aloe vera is good especially after sunburn ^^.  Just apply them thickly and you will realise that the redness and pain will be reduce a lot.

As i just use it for about one week, i do not yet to notice any whitening effect on my skin but i don't get any darker as i use sunscreen most of the time XD  .  I don't know about anti ageing as i don't have any wrinkles yet.  However i love aloe vera and this is my favourite products as aloe vera is a very useful product even for emergency.  Of course even my family use them when they are "burned" after going to the beach.  Aloe Vera is one of those Must have products at home. ^^

REVIEW ON HOE T3 MYCIN CLINDAMYCIN GEL 1%

HOE T3 MYCIN CLINDAMYCIN GEL 1%
This is the 25g tube of Mycin



My skin is not that great to begin with.  I had perfect skin which i took for granted and end up with SEVERE cystic acne when i was 16 years old.  It was a full blown acne eruption that lasted for 10 years.  In the middle of all the eruption  I kept trying products after products to no avail. *that sound like many of us right?*   I can't blame my mum cause people during their time do not have acne even when they virtually don't use cleanser or anything at all.  Moreover, I took the wrong advices and end up having even worse skin than before.  Yeah, I do not have any confidence to meet people and make up is not an option since I am terrible at it.

When BB cream was released in Malaysia, I bought it and use it to cover up the blemishes and everything.  I kept being envious of all those Korean with really nice skin.  How not to be jealous since they have flawless skin?  Just recently, I managed to get it under control and also the reason I started this blog.  To keep track of my skin regime.  This products is one of the products I use when I have acne or the Korean called it trouble skin.  Great skin is what I wish to achieve of course..hahahaha.  My friend complimented that my skin now is 100 times better?  Maybe she did exaggerated a bit but I guessed my skin is now better?

This tube of Mycin is clear and smell a bit like T3.  I am using gel since my skin is combination and it works faster.  T3 Mycin is clindamycin which is an antibiotic.  However, stop using them when the acne heal as prolong usage of antibiotic makes it ineffective.  You don't want to have nothing to use later right?

If you want it to be effective, use it in the afternoon while at night I use something else.  You will need to change some of the lifestyle too and food intake.  Don't take any sugary food or milk especially those sweets.  You can check out the link below for some of the tips to reduce.  I believe diet, lifestyle and also your skincare does play a role and you can see it on your skin.



I still can't say i have flawless skin now but better i guess.  At least i can go out without BB cream if I am lazy now.  Do check some of the links I post up for the long winded way for a better skin.  Hope it will help you.

*a word of caution-don't pop your pimples or acne











what are retinoid ( tretinoin, retin A, tazaroc, adapalene and retinol) in Youtube (1min only)

T3 Mycin retails at Rm27.90 at local pharmacies like Caring pharmacy.  It is for light to moderate acne.

*updated 12/6/2016-someone asked me in email about what is the difference between gel and lotion.  Gel works better for combination skin and oily skin type.  Lotion works slower but it is for dry skin type.  Both are antibiotic for acne prone skin.

REVIEW ON JELLY PONG PONG BON BON LIP GLOSS AND CHEEK CREAM BLUSHER-MACAROON



Remember about the post about HISHOP MAY BEAUTY AMBASSADOR SURPRISE PACK  ?  So, i now i am going to review the Jelly Pong Bon Bon Lip gloss and cheek cream busher-macaroon.


Jelly Pong Pong cosmetic are all really cute (kawai).  If you are into cute looking cosmetics like Etude House, do try them out ^^.  Plus they are really handy as you get two in one and it is really light to bring around ^^.  Only 5.5g.  Besides, their cosmetics are multi-functional, made from botanical ingredients and is strongly against animal testing.

Jelly Pong Pong Gloss Bon Bon Lip Gloss & Cheek Cream Blusher - Macaroon Jelly Pong Pong

JELLY PONG PONG BON BON LIP GLOSS AND CHEEK CREAM BLUSHER-MACAROON
It is so kawaii(cute) right?




One side is the Lip Gloss and the another side is the cheek cream blusher.  It is really good for those that are travelling and still look good ^^.  I love the colour of the gloss,.  It looks really natural on my lips as well as moisturising. ^^  There is no really strong fragrance of any sort and the smell was acceptable to me.  The colour does last on my lips if i am not eating or drink.



It is creamy.I took out too much > <

It is peachy pink ^^

JELLY PONG PONG BON BON LIP GLOSS AND CHEEK CREAM BLUSHER-MACAROON

This is how i look like with the cheek cream blusher and lip gloss ^^


The cream cheek blusher colour is lovely.  Just don't apply too much ^^. It lasted whole day without smudging or fading off and looks natural too.  I prefer tint rather than those powder as their lasting power are longer ^^.




RM39.90 but they currently have discount so it is RM14.90. Made in Italy

REVIEW ON AQUASWIM SHAMPOO, CONDITIONER AND BODY CARE FOR SWIMMERS


Aquaswim is a special range for hair and body care for swimmers that are able to remove the chlorine inside those swimming pool water.  Ordinary shampoo could not neutralise the chlorine when we go swimming.  It is suitable for children as well.  There isn't any strong fragrance that can cause allergic and it is suitable for the whole family.

The sea is beautiful but does not make my hair beautiful by the end of the day > <.  My hair will look, feel and smell like dry wires after playing at the sea.  So, i am really happy to have these three products to try them out ^^.



orange cap:  Aquaswim Antichlorine Conditioner 100ml (RM14.15) ,  200ml (RM25.15)
blue cap:  Aquaswim Antichlorine Shampoo 100ml (RM14.15) , 200ml (RM25.15)
green cap: Aquaswim Antichlorine Body Wash 100ml (RM14.15)




Aquaswim Antichlorine Body Wash 100ml (RM14.15)

Just as the name suggests, Aquaswim Antichlorine Body Wash is to remove chlorine and chlorine odour from the skin and reduce dryness and skin irritation.  It contains natural aloe vera to help moisturise the skin. There is no strong fragrant or any specific odour which is too my liking. My skin always feels very dry after the swimming at the sea but this product is good.  It moisturise my "tree bark" skin.  It doesn't make the skin very soft but it does not leave it dry which is already good enough.  It is a lot better than those cheap Rm10 for 1litre that my mum always buy *sorry mum but i think she won't be reading this*.  For only Rm14.15, it is worth the price since one doesn't have to use "oil or body lotion" after the swim in the sea.

Aquaswim Antichlorine Shampoo 100ml (RM14.15) , 200ml (RM25.15)

I like the shampoo plus the conditioner. I wouldn't suggest you to just use the shampoo alone without the conditioner.  Do not just use the shampoo alone especially after swimming at the sea!!  The salt water plus the sun FRIED the hair nicely into unrecognizable Maggie MEE.  Unless you are fan of Afro style hair, try to be hardworking for the sake of your hair.  Swimming in the sea really damaged the hair a lot.  It is 10times harsher compare to the clorine in swimming pools.

Aquaswim Antichlorine Conditioner 100ml (RM14.15) ,  200ml (RM25.15)

I love this Conditioner. ( How many times had i stressed how much i love it)  The sea water plus the sun is really bad for the hair.  Coarse, dry and totally damaged. It makes my hair soft and repair it immediately.  It is easier to wash the hair too, entangles all the knots and leaves my hair soft to the touch.  I will put the conditioner on the hair first to soften the hair before washing the hair after swimming.  It may be weird but it works rather than keep tugging on the hairs to loosen all those knots.  Besides, one don't have much time if you are using the public toilet and it is uncomfortable to carry too many things inside those tiny cubicles.

My routine after swimming would be Conditioner on the whole hair> Shampoo> Conditioner on the end of hair> Body Shampoo> Face


Sorry, got no time to take picture of my ugly hair.  I don't think anyone want to see a crazy women. > <



Here is after using the shampoo and the conditioner.  My hair is shining ^^. It soften all those roughness cause by salt water.  Do try them out ^^.

Please don't mind my face > <  



Aquaswim Antichlorine Body Wash 100ml (RM14.15)
Aquaswim Antichlorine Shampoo 100ml (RM14.15) , 200ml (RM25.15)
Aquaswim Antichlorine Conditioner 100ml (RM14.15) ,  200ml (RM25.15)

Products are available at Watson, Guardian, Caring and all leading independent pharmacies in Malaysia.


Products are sponsored by DKSH but does not affect my judgement.

REVIEW ON PHYTOCITRUS RESTRUCTURING SHAMPOO PARIS


This shampoo really smell like oranges and other citrus fruits ^^.  It doesn't lathered up much and i need to use extra to put on my hair.  Whether it does help to repair the hair, i am not sure since i do not have coloured hair yet  > <  .  It does left my hair felt clean and my hair doesn't get oily that fast.  This is suppose to be more moisturizing and gentle for those coloured hair but my scalp is the oily type.  Well, i didn't get the volumizing one so this is also okay.


The deluxe sample i got comes in form of  plastic cap with metal bottle.  It is quite hardy as there isn't a dent on the bottle even when I dropped it on the floor few times.  It is good to recycle it back for travelling =P.  The liquid comes in milky clear orange colour.  This is an organic brand from France.  Dermatologist do recommend this brand too.  The shampoo smell of citrus fruits which I really enjoy.


I heard someone mentioned shampoo for the coloured hair is suppose to be more gentle and makes the hair shinier.  My hair is in okay condition since i don't usually dye it.  So, I am not sure about the shinning effect.  My hair wasn't any particular soft when I use this shampoo so I still need a little conditioner and mask to achieve that soft effect.


For more information, please visit Phyto Paris.

50ml Phytocitrus Restructuring Shampoo is from April Bag of love  .Thanks to The Butterfly Project-Beauty Blogger .

200ml Phytocitrus Restructuring Shampoo retails for  RM88

STORY OF WHAT MR PANDA EATS

SORRY, this is really off topic from my normal entries but so here it is.

Yeah, to have flawless skin one should be eating more vegetables like Panda.
Pandas daily menu consists almost entirely of the leaves, stems, and shoots of various bamboo species.



So, this MR. Panda.  He is so sad =(  

He got sick of the his daily bamboo diet since his wife Mrs. Panda only cooks bamboo shoots everyday. Look at how sad he is??   She thinks that it is good for him since he keeps gaining weight and insists him to go on diet.  He wishes that he could order delicious food from foodpanda but the wife said NO.

So, one day Mr. Panda couldn't take it anymore and he went for a walk.  He ended up here:


Yes, Mr. Panda went into the restaurant after looking at the design.  He decided to order some food.  Look at the menu he ordered:


Then after Mr. Panda gobbled up his food, he:


He fired twice into the air



"Why?" the confused waiter asked Mr. Panda.
"Well, I'm a panda," he said at the door. He throw a badly punctuated dictionary at the waiter and said "Look it up."

The waiter turns to the relevant entry and finds an explanation:

"Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China.  EATS, SHOOTS AND LEAVES








Do check out foodpanda's website.  There are lots of restaurant for food delivery ^^.

REVIEW ON MAY BAG OF LOVE (BEST OF BEAUTY)


I was so surprise when i got a parcel from The Bag of Love and i thought that they had made a mistake and was about to message them.  hahahaha.  Then, i checked in their Facebook page and saw the announcement that they had sent the May bag for the winner of April Bag of love from The Butterfly Project-Beauty Blogger.  That was totally unexpected ^^.  It just made my day.*dancing*  Lets unzip this bag and go through them.

This month team is Best of Beauty.  So far, this is the heaviest as in volume because of the Dove Body Wash 200ml.  This time around, they are really careful and the shampoo and the Dove body wash is sealed with plastic bag securely.  The bag itself look bigger and really luxurious too.  I love it as now i got extras bag that i can use to store my skincare products when i go travelling ^^.


Mimi is so pretty and classy now






Dove Beauty Nourishing Body Wash, Full Size,200ml  RM6.90
Keratase Bain Oleo-Relax 30ml RM9.36

See that they are all in plastic bag?  They take extras measure to wrap it up this time.  I love the Dove body shampoo so much.  I used it immediately after i found it inside the bag =).  Didn't take picture before i used it first.  So eager to use this body shampoo.  It smell divine and milky.  I don't even need to use any body lotion after that.


Calvin Klein Eternity EDP 1.2ml RM6.09 and Eternity for Men EDT, 1.2ml RM5
 Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Capsules Daily Youth Restoring Serum 7capsules RM37



Both of the perfume are for men but the EDP smell unisex so i don't mind using it. XP
Will try the Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Capsules soon since the name sound like it can make me look 10 years younger.  Yeah, i am getting worried about aging now XP .


Crabtree&Evelyn Somerset Meadow Hand Therapy, 25g Full size RM30


This smell so good.  Smell really like the freshness of grass.  It also make my hand so soft and silky to the touch=) .  Saw that the second ingredient is macadamia oil.  I just love to eat macadamia and the oil on my face is so good!!!  Sorry for the dent on the tube of hand cream cause it came like that.  Nothing comes perfect and a little dent does not affect the product anyway.


THE EXTRAS

Complimentary Amante basic manicure worth RM38
Manicure and it is free!

Crabtree&Evelyn Lavendar body lotion 5ml
I have not try this yet.  Saving it for travelling or swimming at the sea where my skin will just crack into million pieces and put this to test.

Keratase Nutritive Oleo-Relaxhair masque for dry rebellious 15ml X 2packets

I can't wait to try this masque as i have coarse hair.  It look nice but not to the touch. XP


Calvin Klein and Crabtree&Evelyn 20% vouchers




The whole bag cost RM 94.26 and does not include the price of those extras! I love this month products too as i think the mixture of body care, hand care, fragrance,  hair care and also face care are really good.  The mixture of products from the first debut bag until the third are really vast and allow us the time to try all those products.  Besides, all the products are all from different brands and it allow us to try all kind of products plus the beautiful customised bag every month.  Customer service was good as you know my previous bag was soaked and they tended to me immediately ^^ and i got my next bag so fast.  Overall, the items i love the most are the Dove Beauty Nourishing Body Wash and Crabtree&Evelyn Somerset Meadow Hand Therapy.


Debut bag: Brush, Cleanser, hair treatment, foundation, fragrance
Second bag (The Green Bag): Sleeping mist, BB cream, Shampoo, body lotion and moisturiser
Third Bag (Best of Beauty) :  Hand cream, face serum, fragrance, Body wash, shampoo and hair mask

What do you think of this months bag?  Would you prefer some makeup in the next bag?
