REVIEW ON HING KEE ROASTED

It has been long since I posted about food.  Here is one review about food that I had when I was in KL area.  

HING KEE ROASTED


Here is one of the stalls that sells food here.  It is not bad considering that I see quite many peoples here in this restaurant.  It has a good ventilation.


Fish bowl noodles
Sorry I don't know how this taste like but I think it is not bad.  I am *shy* to ask for a try.  It looks good.


ROASTED PORK RICE
Roasted pork

PORK AND CHA SIEW

milk ice tea


The shop has many stalls around and they have good ventilation since there are the ‘fans’ to suck out all those hot air of the cooking. Your clothes will not have those cooking smell stuck to it.

The roasted pork and cha siew is not bad. The rice is soft and not too hard. The set comes with a soup too. The chillies are not bad and are fragrant.

However, I can’t say the same for the milk tea. There is too much of creamer inside the tea and so I feel sick after drinking it. Not to mentioned that I forget that I am allergic to milk.



Sorry, I can’t remember the price. Non halal

SKINCARE TIPS: CAN WE MIX DIFFERENT BRANDS OF SKINCARE PRODUCTS TOGETHER?

Someone asked me “if it is okay to use different kind of brands” because the sales girl said that she should only use the products from entire line.  Here is what I think.

SKINCARE TIPS: CAN WE MIX DIFFERENT BRANDS OF SKINCARE PRODUCTS TOGETHER?




Not Buying one brand

The truth is I don’t buy the whole range of skincare products from just one brand.

Reasons:

- I finish my skincare products at different rates and I don’t like to stick to just one brand for all the skincare products that I use. I can’t just buy cleanser, toner, emulsion, mask, eye cream, mist, serum, essence and everything else from the same brands over again for 3 years. Sorry, my skin is just not that loyal.

-blame it on the advertisement or people raving about it as I would want to get ONLY the fame products thus the reason I can’t be forever loyal to one brand.

-I usually look for alternative of product for certain skincare products that I can’t find in Malaysia which makes the reason that I can’t stick to just one brand.

-I don’t want to risk my skin by spending so much of money for the whole set of brand new skincare products when I can just buy one to try. That way, it lessen my risk of getting allergic as I know I only add in one product to my whole skincare regime. Of course you need to read up the ingredients in the skincare products and know your skin type.

- Usually my skin doesn’t necessarily like everything from the same brand. Some works wonderful but some break me out. So, I usually choose a mixture of products from different skincare brands based on the ingredients and my skin condition.



Who said that we must use everything from the same range and the same brand? I think not buying everything from just one brand gives me more opportunities to explore more brands and skincare products. I haven’t found a brand that has everything that I truly like so it is hard to just say “Yes” to one brand forever.





Be loyal to just one brand


Reasons to be loyal:

-If you are new to skincare products and don’t know which brand suit you, it is probably advisable to start with a brand instead of trying to ‘mix &match’. You will end up with lesser problem.

-well, if everything works fine and it suits your skin, then why change right?

-well, if you have the money and think that the products work in sync with each other of the same brand better. This is for those who are not sure about the ingredients in the skincare brands so to be safer, get everything from the same range and the same brand.




So, overall it bounds to preference and your knowledge of skincare products. I don’t find any reason to get married to one brand FOREVER given the cosmetics technologies, the ever changing weather and your skin. Moreover, there are always reviews online where we can read up before we buy them for usage. I think the main reason is to be more educated in cosmetics than just simply buy whatever sales girl recommend.





So, what do you think? Buy everything from one brand or a mixture of brands?


No products recommendation here and it is not to bash any brands here.  My opinions expressed here are my own and honest as always.

PAYOT EXPERT POINTS NOIRS


The Payot Expert Noirs is soothing and smell of botanical ingredients.  It is not overpowering.


PAYOT EXPERT POINTS NOIRS
Sorry for the photo "after 3 weeks" photos.  The camera just refuse to focus when I already trying taking just one photo for 1 hour.




The clear transparent gel absorb into my skin fast leaving a matte complexion.  It doesn't stink unless you have open wounds (popped pimples).  Do use it with moisturiser because or else it will be drying to the skin.  It makes my skin smoother and more balance.After using it for about 3 weeks, it sure does makes my pores look smaller and there is no blackheads when I am using it. =) For your information, this contains AHA so do not use it with products that contains retinol or retinoid at the same time.

I think it works great along with clay mask as my skin has lesser pores problem with the combination of skincare products.



Products retails at RM150 30ml in a tube.  Made in France.

KLAIRS MOIST SOOTHING CREAM

KLAIRS MOIST SOOTHING CREAM

It is the third generation cream and I think the formulation is better than the previous predecessor.  The cream is opaque white and turns transparent giving a radiant sheen on the skin.  Application is really easy and it doesn't make my skin feel sticky or tacky.  I think it is very good on dry skin or as a night cream at night.  I was actually worried if I will get breakouts despite my skin being so dry now but I haven't get any breakout so it is really good for acne prone skin too.  Just don't be greedy on the amount.  About a dime or RM0.20 will do for the whole face.  It doesn't sting on my skin or even on the area that was so dry to the point that it was red.  Klairs moist soothing cream really does what it claims.  It heal that very dry area and sooth the redness.

KLAIRS MOIST SOOTHING CREAM
the immediate effect of using KLAIRS MOIST SOOTHING CREAM

Here is a photo for comparison, it is an immediate relief of dry skin.  I was so glad that I have this or else I don't think I can even step out of the house with such horrible skin.

Other normal cream would have make me have clogged pores but this cream is good because the main ingredients is water so it is very light on my skin despite it being a cream.  It is suitable for those having acne prone with dry skin type.

The scent has a subtle grassy kind which is not overpowering. The scent disappear upon application so for those who do not like it scent at all, it is fine.

It can also act as a very good base for those who has a dry skin.  Just mix it a little with foundation or BB or CC cream for smooth application.

This jar will sure last me very long and it is worth to get it especially for cold weathers and for those with acne and dry skin.  It helps to moisturise the skin without making you break out more.  The only problem is that there is no spatula and some people will be afraid of using products in jar since it is easily contaminated.  To avoid that I scoop two weeks worth of moisturiser into another travel jar for usage.  It is better than I contaminate it with my fingers.

The serum is the combination of gel and toner kind.  The serum is transparent.
Klairs Rich Moist Soothing Serum after 2seconds
The serum turns into fluid and absorb into the skin so a pump is actually enough for the whole face. If you have drier skin, you would probably need two pumps.  One pump is enough for my whole face.

Klairs Rich Moist Soothing Serum after 1 minute
The serum after 1minute just get absorb into the skin and leave a little moist look-the type you get when the skin is well moisturise. It is not oily or greasy at all.

The serum does it work as rich moist soothing serum as it is really moisturising but doesn't leave a heavy feeling on the skin.  I can still feel that my skin is moist even after few hours.   It immediately soothes my skin that was very dry.  Besides, I do like the scent too. =).  I find it important to include hydration in my current skincare products now as my skin is getting drier because of the sudden change in the weather.

If you are travelling to other countries during winter be sure to bring this along.It is really handy to make sure that your skin is hydrated during those time. Dry skin can lead to more fine lines and wrinkles.
