[Review] Vichy Normaderm Night Anti-imperfection + rejuvenating care

I bought this in Thailand when I went a trip. I used this before sometimes back and when I have finished this, I was trying to search for it in the local pharmacies but only got to know Vichy has already moved out from Malaysia. :( 

This is an awesome product that save my skin whenever have pimple breakout. So went I saw this in Thailand I was so excited, no second I just bought it straight away. :D :D

Even suitable for sensitive skin

It comes in a tube of 30ml, the content is not alot if want to apply to whole face, will finish the whole tube in no time. But for me, I only use this whenever I have pimple breakout. So actually can use for a very long time. :D

30ml - product made in France

easy to squeeze for the right amount needed

It smells very mild like some botanical smell. So normally I would apply this at night on the pimple spot, and when next day woke up, will notice the pimple has shrunk abit :D

Sometimes if feel the skin is very oily, not smooth especially the T-zone. I will apply this on my entire face, focusing more on T-zone, sometimes on my cheeks as well. Few days later I would feel my skin is smoother and less bumps.

Overall I like this. This is like a first aid product, essential skincare item to save my skin during "emergency" time. :D

[Review] Etude House Wonder Pore Brush

Hehe...... I feel that my face is not clean enough so I bought this brush at www.hermo.my .  This is a 7 in 1 solution for total pore solution. 

Here showing the instruction of use. Pretty straight forward ... all in Korean though... hmm... so just see the pictures :P

 how to use a brush on your face> :D

I have used this several times... this is very nice to hold and I feel that the brush is very soft but when use on my face, I feel that the bristles are not fine enough.  Cleansing wise it did a pretty good job for exfoliating my face for a deep cleansing especially on the T-zone which is more prone to blackheads and acne.

One thing I hope is that the bristles could be shorter abit :P now is like kinda long...

white white brush - after using , it can be placed on top of the holder like this for drying purpose, very convenient :D

very cute packaging :D keep the brush in here when not using, keep out from dust and dirt

This is very inexpensive manual cleansing tool that really worth buying if do not the budget to get expensive cleanser like clarisonic :P 

[Review] Mizon Multi Function Formula All In One Snail Repair Cream

Finally finished using this cream and now want to share some thought... :D. I bought this from www.qoo10.my , at quite a fair price... below MYR50. 

Before this I had used snail cream of another brand which I thought it was one of the effective skincare to treat skin problems like scar, dullness, redness etc...  then I saw this brand ... Mizon, which got quite alot of good reviews, so I bought it online to give it a try.

"A high concentration of 92% snail extract promotes skin repair, effectively resolving skin problems." ~ this is what written on its' glass jar. A very standard packing, but no spatula is given.

~Mizon~Snail Repair Cream

Looking at the ingredient, no paraben found, alot of natural ingredient. 

 There is not overwhelming kind of smell, The texture is like in between gel like and cream based... more of a gel like. When apply on skin, it gets absorb fairly quite. Once fully absorb, my skin feels 100% matte, which I feel is abit dry for my skin. ( I have combination skin) So normally I used this in the morning , definitely a no-no to use as night cream because it is not moisture enough for me. So I think this probably best suit very oily / oily skin type.  ^_^

On it's healing effect, after finish using it til the last bit, honestly I did not notice significant improvement on my skin =.=''

Gel like texture, not much smell~

Let me also post here the official description of product here :D

sounds very appealing :D

Well... having said all that... here is a snail quote of the day... :D

[Review] Online shopping @ Zalora Malaysia

Just want to share my shopping experience at Zalora. I always feel skeptical about buying shoes online because don't get to try on them, feel very uncertain if the sizes are correct. After hearing from my friends about the pleasant experience they have buying stuff from Zalora, so I thought why not I give it a try.

So this is the package I get. They use GDEX courier service to deliver the stuff. I was expecting a nice box containing the things I bought, but I get this. I guess they don't have bigger boxes???

~Plastic courier bag of my things, I could see from here how the Zalora staff have to stuff the courier bag. The bag looks so tight...LOL... ~

~Things I bought, 1 bag + 2 pairs of shoes~

~See what's inside the shoes boxes, look like 90% to the photos at the website, happy...~

~Laser Cut Out Ballerina ... The real thing looks exactly like what I saw in the picture~

Unfortunately after I have tried on them, it appears that these are not too much of my liking. So I had to let them go, I had to return them to Zalora, and this would be the first time I make a return. A return form and pos laju slip are enclosed so I could conveniently feel up the forms. It was very simple....

Step 1: Fill up the return form - Just put down the reasons for return (there are options to choose from)

Step 2: Fill up the Pos Laju slip - Just put down your name, address, telephone number... and whatever that is needed.

Step 3: Put everything into the courier envelope / bag/ boxes and seal it. Stick the Pos Laju slip on the envelope / courier bag / box. (Normally Zalora will deliver things in a nice Zalora box, this can be used back in case of return, I heard too they would enclose the pos laju bag as well for return, but why didn't  Iget it???)

Step 4: Go to Pos Office / Pos Laju office and drop the box. You don't have to pay anything. In odd cases that you were charged for the delivery, ask for a receipt from the pos office and claim the amount back from Zalora. 

Step 5: Go back and wait for the refund in form of store credit. In my experience, it was quite speedy, I dropped off the items at pos office on Saturday, and I received the store credit on Tuesday afternoon. It took only 1-2 working days. Satisfied.

Step 6: Continue browsing and shopping at Zalora. What if the next purchase is not right again? Return again and get a refund.... then shop again.... the cycle goes on....

I would like to share here a 15% voucher code that you could use for your first purchase.  When you check out your shopping cart, key this code into here:  "Have a gift card or promo code? Enter it here"  and pay 15% less. :D

Happy shopping! 

What's the most delicious lip balm?

 With all those lip balm, lip gloss, and whatever lip care product out there, I have this lip balm which is one of the best. I bought this from Kyoto, Japan, couple of years back. The weather was dry, I had very terrible cracked lips and then I came across this amazing lip balm at one of the store in Kyoto, Japan. The store was so crowded with people.

This is Yojiya Yuzu Tsuyaya lip balm, just dap a little bit on your lips, you can instantly smell the distinct citrus aroma, which makes it so delicious and makes me wanna eat my lips. It is not sticky nor oily, it is just right for moisturizing the lips and leave it with a little shine, which could last overnight. Applied it overnight I could feel my lips become softer than ever.

Not only it is delicious, it has fantastic moisturizing power and it heals I first used this when I had really bad cracked lips. Just put it on for the first time, I could feel the difference. It saved my dry lips. 

Yojiya do have a website, www.yojiya.co.jp. There are many other products that they are selling, and I noticed that they have come out with  a stick type of lip balm , which is more convenient and easier to put on.  This also could be found on ebay. Price wise, I bought this at around a thousand over Yen. It is not cheap, but for what it can do to my lips, and for how tasty it is, it worth the price.

How to have soft fair and smooth skin?

Of all those products I have tried so far, Nivea Body UV Whitening Serum seems to work. It comes with SPF 25 PA++. It kinda lighten my skin tone, smoother the skin texture, but it has no help on pigmentation. I guest it's gonna take a long time to get rid of them... Or maybe have to live with them just like that   :( damn hot sun really damage the skin.

The watery texture of this serum/ lotion can be absorbed within seconds with some light massage. It smells good too. I remember years ago the texture of Nivea lotions were really thick and could stay on the skin for minutes. Absorption was really slow. For couple of years I have changed to other brands coz of this but over the years it has improved alot.Overall this is a good try for such comparably inexpensive body care product.

Use together with this Extra Whitening Body Milk for better effect. It says says it contains 50x vitamin C and within 14 days of regular use can reveal fairer and smoother skin. For whitening, Nivea FTW. But no matter what whitening skin care you are using, just avoid staying under the sun. Prevention is better than cure.
