REVIEW ON KYL广源良 CHAMOMILE&GREEN BEANS POWDER 18S

Once in a while, I came across a brand that doesn't have reviews in English and not much is known since it is not a popularize brand.  I have seen people from Hong Kong mentioned about the KYL广源良 toner but then not much is know because everything is written in Chinese.  They are really famous for their Luffa cooling toner in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Chinese medicinal beauty products sure do pique my interest since more people are into natural products.  Sometimes, I want some ready made products so when I saw KYL广源良 Chamomile & Green Beans Powder, I know I just have to try this mask with medicinal ingredient in it.

If you are vegetarian, love short simple ingredients list, then do check out my review of  KYL广源良Chamomile & Green Beans Powder.

KYL广源良 Chamomile & Green Beans Powder

KYL广源良Chamomile & Green Beans Powder

KYL produces skincare products based on a few ingredients and it is the same for this mask.  It is for someone looking for skincare products that is basically plants and has no animals products. Their other products also doesn't contain any animal ingredients.

This mask is in form of sachets which is great.  Just add their toner, plain water or liquid of your choice into the light green powder and make it into a paste.  Then apply it to the face.  Application is easy.  The mask has those herbal or those woody smell that I do like since it is reminds me of herbal soup.  The mask is supposed to help cool down and clean the face.  It does help to reduce the amount of acne and brighten up my face after using the third packet. It is gentle as it doesn't irritate my skin or clogged my skin even when I accidentally slept with it.

KYL广源良 Chamomile & Green Beans Powder  doesn't dry or oil up my face which is great since I can use it everyday without any guilt.  Green beans has the effect of clay which is to clean up the skin and it is use in Chinese traditional beauty regime. Barley and Chamomile is to cool down the skin 'heat' which normally happened with acne prone skin.  I mean if you believe those 'cold' and 'heat' stuff in traditional Asian medicine.

I think KYL广源良 Chamomile & Green Beans Powder which is great for some lazy to get all the ingredients and mix it up our self.  Besides, it is already in sterile form you can just add in some liquid to make a paste.  I use mineral water, green tea water or my Primera Organience Water. It is really smooth and application is just a breeze.  You do have to wash it off or your face will feel crusty if it is left too long on the face.

What interest me about KYL广源良 Chamomile & Green Beans Powder is that the added Angelica Dahurica which helps with skin metabolism, lighten skin which is used by Empress Dowager Cixi as her secret beauty recipe of Yu Rong San.  Angelica Dahurica is use for treating acne, blackhead, and pimples.


Overall, KYL广源良 Chamomile & Green Beans Powder is a gentle cleansing wash off mask for any skin type especially acne prone, love plant based ingredients, like traditional medicinal mask and do not mind doing a little DIY fun. After all,  it is really very affordable and is able to reduce the inflammation on my 'heat up' skin.  Results really depends on how often you use this mask.

PETRONAS DEEPAVALI 2016

Happy Deepavali,

It has been some time since I watch some really great web-film and I think this year Petronas came out with an amazing video depicting the stereotype that we have of others.






It is easy to judge others by the appearance without seeking the true reason.  Here is a video about Muniandy and his friend.  Can they escape the misjudgement?

In light of the Deepavali celebration, let us Malaysians learn to respect each others differences and embrace our similarities.  Let the light shines within us, respect each other as individuality and as Malaysians. Let the goodness guide us as Malaysians towards greater harmony can be achieved through greater understanding and compassion.

REVIEW ON HELLO EVERYBODY VERBENA SCALP SCALING SHAMPOO

Do you share the same sentiment as I am?

I live in a hot and humid country.  It means that my hair goes flat and oily just after few hours of washing.  To add onto my woes, whenever the wind blow my hair onto my face, it means acne is bound to pop onto my face because well  ...  oily dusty hair onto the skin= acne start having its muddy party.

How I wish that kind of situation is like some sort of hair advertisement with me looking like some sort of supermodel flipping her gorgeous hair. In reality, I just am having oily greasy hair stuck all over my face XD .

However, most Asian hair care only caters for damaged dry hair and it is not easy to find hair product for oily scalp and for humid weather.

I did try this Korean shampoo brand, Hello Everybody Verbena Scalp Scaling Shampoo and here is a review on it.

It does have a cooling sensation during washing and the scalp does feel great after wash.  It has peppermint leaf extract which helps me to prevent dandruff so don't let it go to the face or you will have irritation later. Still, do check the ingredients for ingredients that your scalp might not like.

Overall,  I do like Hello Everybody Verbena Scalp Scaling Shampoo since it does clean my hair well, prevent dandruff and the effect does last two days.   This shampoo does deal with the oiliness, dandruff and limp hair which is great.  It won't be suitable if your hair is not of those oily type and make sure to use a conditioner to prevent 'wires'(rough) hair.

REVIEW ON PRIMERA ORGANIENCE EMULSION

Living in such a hot and humid country means light moisturiser such as emulsion or lotion is very much welcome because I can't stand applying layers of thick stuff on my face.  Moisturiser is necessary even if you have acne prone or oily skin because it helps to balance the skin and protect it from dryness.

Today I wanted to share my review on the Primera Organience Emulsion which is made to protect skin from pollution and restores irritated and weakened skin.  The Organience line is made with organic and chemical free products from special place in Korea.

I have been using the Primera Organience emulsion for a month so it is time for a review.

PRIMERA Organience Emulsion

PRIMERA Organience Emulsion

About Primera
prime + era = primera.
The compound word primera contains two words: prime, which means the most important, and era, meaning a fixed point in time; together, primera signals the most important period. primera is an eco-oriented cosmetic brand that focuses on the moment of germination when a plant releases its critical energy and collecting and delivering the energy directly to the skin.


Organience Line

Pollution and various other external stimulants found in our daily life trigger stress on the skin. They irritate the skin and weaken the skin’s functions and innate vitality. Primera Organience Line contains Natural CureplexTM, which is full of sprouts grown environmentally friendly to maximize nature’s vitality. It restores weakened skin and provides enriched nutrition and vitality.
Organience is made with Korea's eco-friendly farm produce that has been certified organic and chemical-free.

Natural ingredients such as black soy beans are used as an antioxidant, protecting skin from environmental stress. Germinated black rice help preserve skin's delicate balance while seamollient, contains a heavy dose of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids extracted from seaweeds to provide hydration and protect skin from external aggressors.

The bottle is made from heavy transparent glass so be careful when handling it. There is a seal on the opening to avoid tampering or leakage during shipping which is a good thought.

PRIMERA Organience Emulsion

The opening of bottle is of medium size so be careful to not pour too much.  Don't shake it hard or else it will pour out too much.  Just gently tilt the bottle and the emulsion will gently flow out from the bottle.

PRIMERA Organience Emulsion

PRIMERA Organience Emulsion

The emulsion smell like the organience water with slight smell of soy.  It is faint as the smell doesn't linger long after application.  It has the very light brown colour which turns transparent upon application.  The emulsion is very smooth, absorb easily, no stickiness or a film on the skin. I feels that it hydrates my skin without being too thick which is nice to have in this hot weather.  It does cause piling under sunscreen or makeup if you use a lot.

The emulsion doesn't irritate my skin or cause clogged pores despite having some shea butter in it.  There are many moisturising ingredients in there such as Algae, Rice, Cocoa, Soybean Sprout, Shea Butter, Olive Fruit Oil, Lavender Oil, Rosemary Leaf Oil, Juniperus Virginiana Oil, Mandarin Orange Peel Oil, Orange Peel Oil, Cocoa Seed Butter and Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil.  There is also Dimethicone but is the 7th ingredients and all the moisturising ingredients starts from the 7th ingredients so I guess the percentage is not high enough to be clogging pores but still provide the moisturise and benefits that the skin needs.  After all, I don't mind if my moisturiser works slower on my skin but still hydrate and don't clog my pores.

However, do still check if there is any ingredients that you have to absolutely avoid because of allergy.

Soybean Sprouts helps in anti-aging and inhibit tyrosinase.
Dioscorea Japonica Root is a Japanese mountain yam that suppress allergic reaction for over sensitise skin.
Oryza Sativa(Rice) extract is for improving the texture of skin that has been damaged physically or chemically.
Houttuynia Cordata Extract is antifungal, anti bacterial, anti-viral and the plants that survives even after the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant in 2012.
Artemisia Vulgaris Extract is mugwort or wormwood relieves itchiness caused by burn or sensitivity.


Compare to the organience water, this contains more moisturising ingredients and lesser of the fantastic Houttuynia Cordata Extract and Artemisia Vulgaris Extract which my skin just seems to love.  This works great as a light moisturiser during summer and for oily skin type.  It didn't help to get rid of my acne but it doesn't make it worse.  The Organience series is not made to get rid of acne but made for skin that is already damaged by pollution or other external factors.

The organience line really does helps to reduce my redness, irritation and protect it from pollution since my skin only gets better when I was using it compare to when I stop using it for a few days.

Overall, I will recommend it for oily, barrier damaged skin, those living in polluted areas , sensitive red skin and love organic products with a lot of plants ingredients.  It does have any ingredients from animals so it should suit one's looking only for products made from plants.
