REVIEW ON COSRX RICE ULTIMATE NOURISHING RICE OVERNIGHT SPA MASK

Rice or Oryza Sativa is the staple food of Asian countries.  It is hard not to see people eat rice everyday.  Asians love their rice😋   Examples of food from rice would be congee, rice with kimchi, nasi lemak (coconut milk rice with spicy sambal, eggs and anchovies), vermicelli noodles and sushi.

So rice is even part of beauty regime since ancient time and it was especially popular for washing the face with rice water from the third wash.  Sorry, I don't do that because I am just too lazy😔

So here the overdue review on the very popular Korean brand, COSRX Ultimate Nourishing Rice Overnight Spa Mask with the star ingredient Oryza Sativa extract for review😁.

COSRX Ultimate Nourishing Rice Overnight Spa Mask Is a really popular sleeping mask because it contains 65% of Oryza Sativa (Rice) Extract and because of its affordability.  The ingredients are basically moisturising but it does have Cetearyl Alcohol, silicone, palm oil and olive oil that can be too heavy for some people😶. (combination or oily skin type)

It doesn't have any strong smell which is good. It does smells like rice water if you get what I mean. COSRX Ultimate Nourishing Rice Overnight Spa Mask is smooth and feels really light which is nice. Unfortunately, it clogged my pores like it did with my forehead(I rarely breakouts on my forehead). I had tried it more than 5months so I am pretty sure it is this one.

I find that it is excellent to help dry patches around my mouth and on my body.  However, it just doesn't play well if I applied in the morning or on a hot humid day😡. It caused my face to be oily and also clogged.   It is great to seal in all the skincare products that I use😍 provided that I use it during cold days(27 celcius is consider cold here😆) and apply very little.  For dry mature skin without sensitivity to oil palm or clogging problem, COSRX Ultimate Nourishing Rice Overnight Spa Mask will works better😍.

Remember to keep inside the fridge because in a humid place like South East Asia as the oil can separate and it will spoil really fast because the plastic jar is exposed to the air.  Cosrx had the tube for Christmas.  I don't know if they are thinking of making the tube for long term as I don't get reply from them.  I heard having COSRX Ultimate Nourishing Rice Overnight Spa Mask in tube will avoid spoiling from happening.

Overall, COSRX Ultimate Nourishing Rice Overnight Spa Mask is a great sleeping mask or moisturiser for dry skin type, during winter and if you don't get irritated to any of the ingredients(specially the palm oil or the olive oil in it).

FOOD REVIEW ON FREEZE DRIED DURIAN MUSANG KING

Hi,
I know adventurous people like you are out there waiting to try this wonderful fruit of South East Asia aka the King of Fruit or more known by the name Durian.

I hope no one actually fainted seeing the word Durian here. Yes, I love Durian XD and it is not stinky at all.  This is a fruit that either gather hates or likes. You can't get someone say it is okay.

Musang King Durian is to one of the Top quality of Durian and it is really expensive for the exquisite taste for those that love it.  The price is also different for there is demand for Musang King durian.  So, a person like will just make do with this Freeze Dried Durian Musang King (50g) which travelled to me without the smell that can choke people out.

Freeze Dried Durian Musang King comes in a secure packet without leaking of any Durian smell.  One just snip off the top and there will be a zip kind so that one can seal it back. There is no need to keep inside the fridge.

Freeze Dried Durian Musang King comes in a dried fruit kind.  If you just bite it, it will come across as really crunchy crackers but to get the most of the taste, one has to let it melt on the tongue. Just put the dried fruit inside the mouth and wait for it to melt.  It will taste like a melted Durian ice cream which is so good. I know people who hate Durian will faint at this too-good-too-to-be-true tasty fruit but it is good.  The smell is not like those artificial durian ice cream or those durian sweets.  This is really nice and the smell is still strong even when it is in dried form.


Freeze Dried Durian Musang King is imported into Brunei and Singapore so it must be of highest quality to do so.  There is also certification from Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia (Mesti) and pass GMP 1 from the Minister of Health of Malaysia.

Overall, I do highly recommend Freeze Dried Durian Musang King if you couldn't get the fresh Musang King or just wanted something to eat during travel but do not want to disturb people with the smell. It is great as gift too. I haven't tasted the fresh Musang King because it is too expensive for my wallet.

REVIEW ON ALIVE:LAB CENTELLA DRESSING POWDER

Hi fellow acne prone skin,

Do you feel that it is frustrating to deal with acne or sudden breakouts?  If you do, then I am sure you understand that I am always willing to try product to deal with it.  Besides, it has been sometime since I reviewed Korean product for acne prone skin.  One being the Chica Y Chico Tota 3.0 that contain centella asiatica. So, here is , Alivelab Centella Dressing Powder which just made its appearance in early 2017.

ALIVE:LAB Centella Dressing Powder is a product that I have been using for more than three weeks.

Features
Make trouble care easy-breezy with the Centella Dressing Powder.
Formulated with asiaticoside and zinc oxide as key ingredients, the Centella Dressing Powder is designed to relieve stress and help soothe the skin from break outs in a non-irritating way.

Ingredients:
Zinc Oxide, Silica, Asiaticoside, Asiatic Acid, Madecassic Acid, Allantoin, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Azelaic Acid, Panthenol

Directions : take some powder out in the stage of skin care after washing the face in the morning/evening, gently sprinkle it focusing on the spots where troubles are.

ALIVE:LAB Centella Dressing Powder

ALIVE:LAB Centella Dressing Powder

ALIVE:LAB Centella Dressing Powder comes in a 8ml plastic blue bottle which I really like.  It is very light and easy to carry around.  The ingredient list is short and contains all the ingredients that my skin love.

It contains zinc oxide which is calming and healing to acne prone skin. Zinc oxide is presented in products for diaper rash, eczema, barrier cream,calamine cream, antiseptic ointment and in anti dandruff shampoo.  My skin just love zinc oxide. However, if you have problem with zinc, better avoid it.

Another ingredients presented in this ALIVE:LAB Centella Dressing Powder is centella asiatica which is always work gently to calm my angry pimples and red skin.  Centella asiatica is another ingredient for acne that I really love for my acne prone skin and recommend for those with sensitive acne prone skin that can't handle stronger ingredients such as AHA, BHA or retinol.  Dipotassium Glycyrrhizinate is used as skin conditioning agent with anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory properties. A new ingredient that I haven't try before is azelaic acid which is used to treat acne and it is really gentle. Panthenol is an vitamin B5 which is really great is moisturising wounded skin without clogging the pores since it quickly oxidised to pantothenic acid.


ALIVE:LAB Centella Dressing Powder is gentle to my acne prone skin and does help to calm my angry skin in a matter of days. It doesn't sting, burn or cause any pain.  There isn't any scent at all.  I admit that I like it and always reach for this product at night.

The best way is to use it in a form of white paste.  I also use it as spot treatment (neem powder, a drop of tea tree oil, centella water).  It doesn't work on those red acne scars but it can lessen the redness on the skin.  It won't stick on dry skin so use it as spot treatment with some toner or cream.  I also add a little to my sunscreen to protect my skin since zinc oxide does offer sunscreen protection. I didn't use it with cleanser because it is such as waste because it won't stay on my skin for more than a minute.

So, here is the thing, I can only use it at night or when I don't need to go out.  The white powder has a white cast since we need to use 1:1 ratio so that it is a white paste for it to be effective on healing the acne. Try to use a non clogging cream with the centella powder since if it is just water, that area will crust over and looks really flaky or dry. Another things if you apply a lot ALIVE:LAB Centella Dressing Powder, you will need a cleanser or konjac sponge to remove the white cast of the zinc oxide in the morning.

Overall, ALIVE:LAB Centella Dressing Powder is a great very gentle acne product to heal the skin and reduce the redness on the skin.  If your skin is sensitive and find that AHA, BHA or retinols irritate your skin, do look into this Alive Centella Dressing Powder.

TRAVEL REVIEW ON MELANG INN HOTEL, KUALA PILAH, NEGERI SEMBILAN, MALAYSIA

Hi,

I stayed in Melang Inn, Kuala Pilah, Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia and I think that maybe I should write about it since I have realised that I have a lot of pictures for it.  Most of the time we have to stay somewhere especially travelling and this hotel does seems to be popular with visitors.

Breakfast

The price for Melang Inn Hotel is quite affordable since for three person, it only cost RM150 with breakfast for two.  You will need to pay deposit of Rm100 which will be returned upon checking out so no worries about it.  They are also free wifi available for usage.

Melang Inn Hotel does have a small area for people that like to take photos with fish pond and fishes.  The room is clean with open cupboard which most people prefers now.  The room is clean and comfortable with showering products provided in the shower room and towels.  There is also a built in hair dryer.

The bathroom comes with hair dryers and shower that is safe since it comes from the main source.  It is just that the water is not warm enough. I think it is probably some people have kids scalded themselves since they turn to the left while showering.

There are ceramic cups, coffee, kettle and mineral water to have some coffee.  As for breakfast, the front desk will let you choose one out of the two menus. the menus depends on the day.  I chose a curry noodles and waffle.  Honestly, I prefer the waffle with chocolate sauce.  It is just that the waffle doesn't come with the choice of sauce.  The curry noodles is not warm enough and the portion is quite small.  Well, can't expect much when one only pay RM150.  Normally place with that price do not provide breakfast at all so no complain here.

Overall, I will come again to Melang Inn Hotel if I need to stay here again because of the great service and nice clean place.
