Thanks to Melvita Malaysia for couriered this to me as I couldn't collect it personally due to some reason =). They are just so kind and so lovely of them to send it to me =). I was really excited and waited everyday for the courier to arrive.

As I had tried the Nectar Bright Brightening essence and Rose Extraordinary Water before, I was more excited to try their Naturalift eye set as it has the Youthful Eye&Lips cream.

Let’s have a look at what is inside Naturalift eye care set.

comparison between rose and the narcissus extraordinary water

There is faint smell of narcissus flower and it is soothing to my senses.  The smell make me feel calm and refresh my skin.  It think this suits me as the texture is very watery, cooling and it absorb immediately into my skin.  My skin immediately became very soft and moisturise.  I can feel the differences on then hand applied with the Narcissus extraordinary water immediately and compare it to the hand without it.  The very watery texture is just right for my skin =) . Besides, it doesn't break me out.  If I compare this with the Rose Extraordinary Water, I would say this is just perfect for my skin.


The Extraordinary Rose would be more suited for those with mature skin rather than my current skin which is sensitive&acne prone.  Yes, I would say that this Narcissus extraordinary water is extraordinary for my skin because it plump, turn it softer and the effect last long.  Moreover, it is natural and organic.  Currently I am using this for the morning regime =) .

REVIEW ON MELVITA ORGANIC CORNFLOWER FLORAL WATER

ORGANIC CORNFLOWER FLORAL WATER

Reference : 812719

Field Cornflower has been used since the Middle Ages for its beneficial effect on tired eyes. Our certified-organic floral water is obtained by steam distillation of Centaurea cyanus flowers. It is known for its soothing properties and is particularly recommended for the eye area or to remove any last traces of make-up.

DERMATOLOGICALLY TESTED.
Cosmetic product. Do not ingest.

This is the first I tried the famous Melvita floral water.  The Cornflower floral water smelt like Chinese tea with tree bark which I find acceptable. Since it is in form of spray, I will just spray it on my face in the morning especially when I am in a hurry.  It keeps me hydrated but make sure to avoid the eyes and becareful to spray too much on face. I think it is really moisturizing too =) considering the texture is very light-something like water.  Easy for those going for travelling and on the go.  One spray and you can just go out.  People use this as toner but since I am lazy I will use to refresh my face or as moisturiser.  You can even use to set makeup I too.
I am not sure about the brightening effect though since I only tried for few days.

REVIEW ON BIOTHERM PURE.FECT SKIN RANGE-ANTI-SHINE PURIFYING CLEANSING GEL,MICRO EXFOLIATING PURIFYING TONER&PURE SKIN EFFECT HYDRATING GEL

I was very lucky to win a set of Biotherm product. Biotherm products are consider as those high end brands and I wish I could afford them when i was a student listening to how good these products are. Well, my dreams actually come true. Miss Corrine from Juniper Journal actually pick me as the winner and I got my wish came true =)  .


I have been trying this for around one month.  Before I share my experience with the products, I would just update the condition on my skin.  I have combination(normal on cheeks+ oily on nose) acne prone + sensitive skin. So, what I experience will be different from those with different skin than me.


This is going to be a long post on three of these products.


Pure.Fect Skin. Featuring L.Digitata, a powerful marine algae that produces a powerful purifying anti-bacterial protection, this complete range helps to matify your skin while keeping it hydrated, balanced, and clear of imperfections.

1. ANTI-SHINE PURIFYING CLEANSING GEL(cleanser),
2 MICRO EXFOLIATING PURIFYING TONER(toner)
3 PURE SKIN EFFECT HYDRATING GEL (moisturizer)

1. ANTI-SHINE PURIFYING CLEANSING GEL(cleanser),
2 MICRO EXFOLIATING PURIFYING TONER(toner)
3 PURE SKIN EFFECT HYDRATING GEL (moisturizer)

1. ANTI-SHINE PURIFYING CLEANSING GEL
Direction: Use every morning and evening.
Wet the face with water, pour the gel into the palm of your hand, lather and apply in light dabs all over the face, avoiding eye contours.
Rinse off thoroughly with water and dry. Proceed to apply usual skincare treatment.

This cleanser is meant for normal to oily skin. This cleanser is just gel like and transparent. Be careful when pressing the tube as one need one very little gel liquid to lather up a huge amount of foam. The tube is made with plastic but the wording wouldn’t fade even after so many times of rough handling. Simple and good packaging. The cleanser doesn’t come with a box.

The words at the back of the tube of cleanser are full with French words but lucky the list of ingredients is in English. I got a lousy camera so can’t a take picture of the words. The first two ingredients are aqua and glycerin. It also contains lauric acid, zinc sulfate and Argilla vitreoscilla ferment. These ingredients are beneficial for acne prone skin.


It got a nice relaxing smell and cleans off even my makeup. Don’t let get into the eye area though as it may sting the eyes. My face does feel cleaner and less oiler compare to when I am using the Cetaphil gentle cleanser. It doesn’t dry out the area though or make me breakouts.

2.  MICRO EXFOLIATING PURIFYING TONER
Direction: Use daily, morning and evening, to clean skin. Soak a cotton pad with toner. Smooth the whole face, from middle to outside. Repeat until cotton pad wipes clean.
Dry skin by applying a tissue on face and gently pressing it with both hands to absorb excess liquid.


This toner is meant for combination skin to oily skin. So, don’t use this if you have dry skin because it contains alcohol. Moreover, don’t try to use this as mask as this contains alcohol. I don’t mean to say alcohol is bad but it will just clean the skin from sebum especially those with oily skin. I only use this on my T-zone area and this is really refreshing. It does help to prevent sebum which I think is good.

The bottle is made of plastic with non-fading words. One would have twist the cap (white) like taking out a screw until the cap came out. I think it is troublesome and I still find some toner got spill out if I accidentally drop it to the floor before I twist the cap. Other than, I like the packaging. The toner doesn’t come with a box.  So, inside the toner, there is a plastic sticker than you will remove before using.

The toner smell the same as the cleanser with a hint of alcohol. The smell disappear after applying though.

3.  PURE SKIN EFFECT HYDRATING GEL

Direction: Use every morning and / or evening on cleansed and toned skin. Place one dose into the palm of the hand. Using both hands, smooth over the face in an outward pattern starting from the centre. Finish by the neck. Avoid eye contour.

This moisturizer comes with a box wrap in thin plastic wrapper. The box is really nice and if you open the box, you will realize that there is the plankton design on the inner of the box. It is actually the picture of the Pure Thermal Plankton inside which has the ability to detect impurities and reduce them. Pretty and I just keep the box. I love the design of their moisturizer as the bottle is so cute and easily to hold =). They have the transparent cap to prevent spillage. I think that is thoughtful. The silver part does not fade even after using it for some time. So, no worries of dirtying your hands with silver dust later.

Unlike the ingredient printed on their bottles, the list of ingredients are printed on the box. The first four ingredients are aqua& glycerin, alcohol denat and dimethicone. There is also salicylic acid and zinc sulfate. This moisturiser is meant for combination skin to oily skin. So, don’t use this if you have dry skin as it can be irritating. It is really gel like and disappear into the skin after applying. It does moisturize and hydrate the skin. I find that the mortifying effect only last on my nose for about 6 hours. After that it will show sign of oiliness but still not as oily as if I am not using aything. On, the area that is normal, it is really well hydrated through the day.

The moisturizer smell amazing too =) . I find that the moisturizer does help to reduce the pimples or problematic area. I had pimples/acne because I couldn’t sleep well so I broke out. This does help to control the problem. I think those with combination skin would love this gel like texture.

Overall, I think this range is more suitable for oily skin than skin like mine. I still use them though but only in the morning when I need oil control and acne prevention =). It can be quite drying to my skin if I use it day and night. These products help with the acne prevention and oil control.

If you are unsure, you can buy their trial kit which only cost RM40 for 3 products that contain 20ml each. It is not expensive at all. I got this information from Juniper Journal.




I have tried using the whole products for 2 weeks and here is the results.

REVIEW ON MONTAGNE JEUNESSE DE CLOGGED PORES STRIPS

there are three of these inside the one pack.

HERE IS THE INSTRUCTION on how to use them
Remove pore strip from inner pouch. Wash face and leave nose wet. Remove strip from backing & dampen smooth side of pore strip. Apply damp side of pore strip to nose and press down for contact. Leave to dry for 10-15 minutes, carefully remove from edges and peel off.

Use strip immediately once opened. Do not use on any other areas of the face or body and do not use on broken skin. Do not use pore strips more than 3 times in any one week. Remove strip promptly when stiff, if difficult to remove do not pull, re-wet and gently peel off. Keep out of reach of children.
http://www.montagnejeunesse.com/face-masks/skin-heroes/nose-pore-strips

Inside the packet, there is about three strips which are individually seals.  The nose packet in "paste" on a plastic and it easy to peal them off and paste it on the nose. The nose pack is in form of soft paper and it will turn hard once it dry up.  Then peel them of.  Since i don't have much problem with blackheads, i tried it on my family members.

So here is the results.  I am not using my nose as my blackheads is not that obvious on my lousy camera.

Removing the peel was really easy and not painful at all.  I can see those blackheads on it.  Not showing the peel with the blackheads on cause it will gross you out.  It does help remove those blackheads but not whiteheads.  I guess it is hard to remove whiteheads.

REVIEW ON COSMED COSMETIQUE C+M OIL CONTROL SERUM BLEMISH DEFENCE SERUM

Actually i did a Sasa haul last year before i started blogging.  I bought quite many products and it was difficult as my products only arrived  6 weeks later due to the problem of getting approval from the bank.  Gosh, i regretted and will think twice now unless i can't get it from somewhere else.  They have so many cheap things and i bought quite a number and throw out many products that i found unsuitable later.

Among products that i bought was this C+M oil Control Serum Blemish Defence Serum made in Korea due to many fantastic review inside.  I keep trying and trying this product a few time because i can't believe that it  just doesn't work for me but now i have finally to just review this.

The bottle is actually made from plastic and it doesn't come with a box.  It comes inside a plastic bag and with a card containing the details.  There is nothing at the back.  Sorry for no picture as I threw the card into the bin long ago.  The white cap is hard while the greenish is actually transparent so that you can see what is inside.

If you open the cap, then you will actually see the "round" head and just cut the "round" head off and you will get this.  That is to be able to dispense the products out and so that the cap can fit properly.  You will hear the sound of the 'click' when you close the cap.

The details at the bottle read that it is suitable for oily, mixed and acne prone skin and it is made in Korea.  The serum last really long.  It is transparent and blend with the face.

The absorption is medium.  I have to massage it to get the absorption rate  it higher.  It is scented but the smell disappear after few hours.  Still, i don't really like scent that is like those cough syrup.  Overall, it was only okay for me.  It didn't manage to rid of my acne or is it oil control.  It doesn't break me out though.

I think this product doesn't work for me.  I guess it is because i am living in such humid and hot weather that this product doesn't work as it does for others.  Most of the rave are from weather that is different from me and i didn't take that into consideration before buying it.

I guess i will just stick with my aspirin and clindamycin that works better than this serum for me.  My skin is just stubborn.

REVIEW ON MONTAGNE JEUNESSE CUCUMBER&APPLE REVIVING MASQUE

The packet is enough to apply on my face.  The mask smell of green apple which i do love.  I can still smell the green apple when i applied it on my face.  Smell yummy.   Besides, the smell is really relaxing and soothing.  The mask dried up quite fast and it will turn into greyish white from the original colour of light green.  So, i will wash once it turn white.  Don't leave any longer on your skin or it will be very drying on your skin.  My face was feeling clean and refresh.  It is quite easy to remove it with water.  The mask doesn't stain my towel or leave residue too.  After washing the mask off, one can follow up with serum or sheet mask.  I just prefer the refreshing feeling and the smell of the wonderful green apple of clay mask and it soak up the oil on my oily t-zone.

As my skin is combination, acne prone and sensitive, i do use clay mask to clean my face to avoid clogged pores.  I don't go for facial so this is how i normally do my pampering session at home.

OMG, ugly bare skin > <

HISHOP-SATISFIED YOUR LUST FOR ONLINE SHOPPING

Welcome to my blog. I hope you do like my new layout and some new features in this blog. I know my previous one was really ugly and not user friendly at all =( Anyway, thanks everyone. I really appreciate your comments and they really mean so much to me.

Today I am going to share with you about HiShop.

HiShop is actually an online shopping website that offers original products. They keep increasing the number of brands offer inside their shop which I think is good. Most of the brands are usually not available in Malaysia for examples Jelly Pong Pong and Candydoll. Well, if you are living in the jungle like me, then you will definitely appreciate online shopping since these are the places where I can feast my eyes on and buy things.

(click on the picture if they are too small)

They offer free shipping with RM50 purchases and you will get two samples that you can choose for every purchase! They changed the samples quite often and there are usually full size samples such as TT mask and the famous Twistband. There is even Cash On Delivery where you only pay when the products arrive on your door step but that applied only for those living in Klang Valley.

They have loyalty rewards, customer reviews and blog reviews where you can use the points to buy things inside the website. They also always have many competitions at the their HiShop Facebook page to rewards their customer. 

To log in their website is really simple. Just log in with your Facebook account or you can choose the difficult way that is by emails. It is easy to navigate inside the website. What I like about the upgrade HiShop website is that their instructions come with photo which is very much easy to follow. Well, I don’t like to read a lot of words and having pictures are really helpful.

Sales!  Who doesn't like sales? So you can buy them much cheaper. Their customer service is really good. I was only asking some stupid questions and they replied me in just two days. I thought it would take 2 weeks for someone to reply to my questions.

Oh, about the box. You don’t have to worry about products leaking as they wrap it so securely that you even think it is too much for just a small package. Your products will come in the super girly pink box =).

See they wrap it even if it is so small and tiny.  You can trust that your products will arrive securely!

Lastly, you can have a look at the products reviews =) .
