CONTOUR CLEANSER

-

Contour cleanser came in a tube form and it is sealed inside out. 

What makes this cleanser special is that it contains micro capsules that will help to exfoliate our face while cleansing. The texture is very creamy and thick but when it contact with water, it turned slightly foamy. I love how the after effect where it left my face feeling cool and fresh. 

/////

PRIMER WATER

-

Primer water came in a box and it is sealed inside. 

The primer water really surprised me with how watery it is! A small amount is enough to cover up whole face and the absorption is really quick. You will feel your face hydrated right after.   

 Look how watery it is!

After few patting, all fully absorbed! 

/////

FIXER CREAM

-

Fixer cream came in a box and it is sealed with a lid.

As you can see, the texture is quite creamy like any other moisturizers but after apply evenly on your face, you will feel how fixer cream moisturize your skin. The best part is that it won't make your face feel sticky and uncomfortable! Another point is that the absorption is pretty fast so you can done your makeup in no time!

Looked creamy!

After apply evenly and few patting, the cream is absorbed!

OVERALL REVIEW

...

..

.

If you wondering why I didn't mention the fragrance of all 3 products, the answer is all 3 products have their own very gently and mild scent which I personally think they are really suit to people who dislike pungent smell products. The price for each products are affordable and reasonable. You are welcome to try 1 of the product of this range but if you want to, you can try all 3 products together for a better result! I will put all direct link below, just click and you will direct to the product's website! 😉

Anyway, thank you Althea for sending all products over and I'm glad to be a part to spread this
BIG GOSSIP!! 
And thank you to you too for dropping by to read this gossip~! 💞

BEAUTY REVIEW: HALF MOON EYES SKIN CARE PRODUCTS

Annyeong guys!! I'm going to write my review for Half Moon Eyes skincare products where I got from Althea Korea! I tried and tested the products myself for my morning skin care routine for a month. So let's get into it!

HALF MOON EYES

HALF MOON EYES is the name of the brand which originated from Korea. Although this brand is not widely introduce but there are many people all around the world are using HME's products and have good reviews about it. When I received my products, I really looking forward to try it and give my very honest opinion to you guys. So today I'm going to write my review on their skin care range which are these 3 products - Pink Fruity, Milky Jelly Toning Essence and Milky Jelly Moisture Cream. 

PINK FRUITY 10g

The first product is Pink Fruity, Pink Fruity is a light pink coloured wash off mask. It helps pore tightening, sebum removal, moisture supply, nourishment and glow, intensive moisturizing, skin texture care and cooling effect. It contains Hylocereus Undatus Fruit Extract (the scientific name for dragon fruit) where it is rich with moisture content that will leave your face moisturize and smooth.

MY REVIEW

I actually tried this mask before and my first impression towards this product is WOW! It surprised me for real. I love the scent of dragon fruit in this mask and I bet most of the people who tried will love the smell! The texture of this mask is creamy where it is easy to put on and also easy to wash off!!! When you about to wash off, you just have to dab some water and massage your face in circular motion then rinse your face with water. It smoothen my skin because it rub away my dead skin! But remember after mask, put some moisturizer on your face to keep your face hydrated. For the packaging wise, it's a little inconvenience because you cannot seal back the mask if you have leftover. I usually use 1 mask pack for 2-3 times, so my way to keep the seal close and avoid the mask dry out is clip it with bobby pin! It works for me! Overall, it's worth to try and I'll recommend this to people who want to try out light and easy wash off mask. I will give this product a 3.5 out of 5 points.

After the mask dry off

MILKY JELLY TONING ESSENCE 180ml

Left only half now T_T

 Milky Jelly Toning Essence is a two layered toner with silica powder. This single product can act as toner, essence and booster all 3 in 1 where can simply refining, balancing and hydrating for all type of skin. It contained natural ingredients such as fig where it helps to rejuvenate skin and make skin softer, silica powder helps to anti-aging and tea tree mainly to cure acne.

MY REVIEW

I really love this product! This product is very gentle and light. I was scared at first to use toner because some toner will make my face felt irritated but after I using this product I think I found a toner that suitable for my skin. I apply this toner after I washed my face and it really gave me a cooling feel and clean all the dirt away. It didn't dry off my skin nor left stingy feel on my face. It smell really good with a little fruity fragrance. Overall, it's a good toner and I really recommend this toner. I will give this product a 4.5/5 points.
p/s: this toner came in with a box of cotton pad!

After patting evenly on my hand

MILKY JELLY MOISTURE CREAM 100g

Milky Jelly Moisture Cream is a white coloured moisture cream which came in with tube packaging. It contained natural botanical ingradients for anti-aging and supply moisture to exhausted skin to makes skin barriers healthier.

MY REVIEW

My normal morning skin care routine is just putting soothing gel and start my makeup right away. After trying out this moisture cream, I really can see the difference where it holds my makeup longer. I will apply this moisturizer after toner where I can see this both products balanced and keep my face hydrated. The cream is light, soothing and it has a soft fruity smell. The texture is just right where it's not watery nor too heavy, fast absorption to the skin and it didn't left my hand oily/sticky after applying. The bonus is on the packaging where it is in tube so the product is more hygiene. Overall, I just love how this product can moisturize my skin and also be a base before my makeup. I will give this product a 4 out of 5 points.

You can see how moisturize it is!!!

INNISFREE GREEN TEA CLEANSING FOAM

Hello guys! Today I'm going to share on a cleansing foam which I think it's a good thing to be share! 

Want to know more about this? 

Let's get started! 

Actually I got a small gift set from Innisfree when I purchase in store. The gift set consist of green tea, jeju volcanic pore and olive cleansing foam. I tried on the green tea first because I personally love green tea a lot! The scent is just right my style and I actually preferred foamy cleanser over gel cleanser because I think it cleans my face better. It also make your face feel fresh after washing and actually moisture your face. I suggest this for oily and combination skin people. After trying, I got myself an original size of it! 

 BONUS on Jeju Volcanic Pore Cleanser! 

It contents tiny scoria which is an ingredient free from impurities.

Since I've used the Super Volcanic Pore Clay Mask and it's really good, I thought of the cleaser will be the same. The foam did really surprised me! It smells really good and foamy which I love as well! I suggest this product to oily skin people more because oily skin easily caused clogged pores in our skin. This cleanser helps to remove dirt from pores and purifies pores while moisturising our skin! I don't get to try the oilve's because I gave it to my friend. 

That's all for my short post! Hope you enjoy it and leave me a comment if you have any questions or suggestions for me to improve my post! Thank you for reading! See you in the next post!!

INNISFREE'S MASK

Hello friends! The feeling of blogging is here today so I'm just going to blog hehe. Since I updated on my daily products that I used, today I going to write something related to it. I'm a huge fans of Innisfree products *it's my sister first actually* My sister bought me their cushion and I love it! And then I started to try their products! 

Why I choose Innisfree products is because their price is really reasonable and affordable! Other brands are getting expensive when tax (GST) started in Malaysia. Their mask just attracting me much! I haven't got to try other products but real soon. I will give them a try and share with you all! 

The first one is their sheet mask.The price is just awesome because RM4 for a sheet of mask, yes RM4! I always choose sheet mask with hydrating function because it will leave your face smooth and fresh in the next morning!  *kiwi, pomegranate, manuka honey* <--- my top 3 favs! I always put it before I sleep and put for 10 minutes. Innisfree's mask sheet are very recommended! 

Manuka honey! *the only stock I left*

The second type of mask is their Super Volcanic Pore Clay Mask. The price is just suit the size which is around RM50+. This is just good! I tried for the first time and really love it. Apply a small amount, left it about 10 minutes *the clay will dry off* and wash it off - here is a tips on how I wash it off: pat a little water on my face and rub in circular motion, wash thoroughly with water. Your face will have a little cool feels after washing! But for me, this mask will make my skin dry. So for those who have a same situation with me, don't forget to put moisturiser after washing your face! :)

The last type of mask that I tried is their sleeping pack! This capsule thing really make me wondering for a long time until one of their friendly staff explained to me what is it and how to use it! This mask left 2 on the rack so my sister and I decided to give it a try! We bought both and price for 1 is RM10. This mask can be apply for 3-4 times. You just need to apply on your face and go to sleep. Wash it tomorrow morning! For me, I don't really like this mask because it will dry off but will left your face have a sticky feel. It feels like it's not fully dry off. But it will make your face smooth like sheet mask. Tips on open it: don't tear the cap off. open a little where you can reach the mask and there will be a gap where you can seal you cap :)

That's all for my sharing today! Definitely will back with more sharing! Leave me a comment if you have tried them and tell me which is your favs! Thanks for reading! xx

MY DAILY PRODUCTS!

Hello everyone! Today I'm going to share with you guys my daily products that I use before going to work, going out and going to sleep! My products are simple and only a few products that I used. 

1. Nature Republic - Aloe Vera Soothing Gel

• soothing your skin
• can be apply on face, hand, hair and lips!
• can cool down your sunburn
• as a base before makeup

I apply this as a base before my sunblock and only apply this before going to sleep. Your face will feel smooth in the next morning! 

2. Nature Republic - California Aloe Sunblock 

• pink base 
• SPF50+
• watery sunblock 

I started to apply sunblock on the age of 12. I can not apply anything else but to sunblock is a no. Sunblock is really important especially living in Malaysia, the sun is hotter than your oppa. I only apply this when I going to work or going out. So, I apply this after soothing gel and it give a pink base and glowing effect! 

3. Innisfree - Long Wear Cushion 

• suit my skin
• good coverage
• glow effect

I don't know about others but for me this cushion suit me well. I choose the natural skin colour. I don't suit lighter colour because it make me looks weird *idk* Now it comes with lighter case which is easier to bring to anywhere. I apply this after my sunblock. That's all for  my face. 

4. NIVEA - Fruity Shine Cherry Lip Balm

• shiny effect
• moisturise for a longer time
• a little pink shades

I basically bought this lip balm for ikoncert only. But after using this I fall in love with it. My lips often get dry and this lip balm really moisturise my lips. I apply this before applying lipstick. 

5. Shu Uemura - Rouge Unlimited Sheer Shine Lipstick

• bright colours
• moisturise + shiny effect

So last year I won 3 lipsticks from Shu Uemura Japan. See my blog post HERE! I really love the colour and the texture of the lipstick. It won't leave your lips dry and actually they are watery lipstick that moisturise your lips. 

6. 3CE - Eyebrow Kit

This was given by my sister because she don't know how to use it *lollll* Actually I seldom use it because my brow don't really need it. So I use it as contour instead. It comes with 2 colours, light brown and dark brown. 

Selfies look so nice today! 

That's all for today's post! Stay tuned on blog for more updates! Thanks for reading! xx
