Plant Origins Christmas Exclusive Event @ See Cafe, Arcoris Mont Kiara

Do you guys remember I blogged about Plant Origins before?
If you are new to my blog, you can check out my previous post about their products at HERE.
I have been a happy user of Plant Origins and also Signature Market (sister brand) for at least 3 years now.
Indeed, I am one of their "Platinum" member for years. #hehe
One of the reason I like about both Plant Origins and Signature Market is because they promote their food products without any preservatives and artificial flavours, and their personal care products are pretty much affordable, and most importantly they always offer a variety of gift sets which solve my gifting problems to my friends, families and clients during special occasions.

MELILEA @ MELILEA Lavender, Frankincense Oil & Phyto-3 Carrier Oil Blend

I am a huge fans of essential oils.
I remember I first started using essential oils was about 8 years ago, when my best friend, Kay introduced the Lavender oil to me.
The first time I smelled it from the little bottle, I fall in love right away because of the scent is so calming and soothing that makes me feel soooo good. 
Then I slowly invested different types of oils according to my needs; for instance, when I had acnes popping up on my skin, I like to use tea tree as it helps to reduce the redness, I use peppermint oil to treat headache, muscle joints and joint pain if I had any, and I also use orange and lemon essential oils to diffuse our home everyday because me and my family love how these scents help to refresh our space and we somehow find the lemon oils can promote feelings of motivation. :)
There are indeed many benefits about the essential oils and how the oils can be used in different ways to incorporate in our lifestyle, that's the reason why I would invest my time and money to explore the scents and uses of different oils.
To be honest, I've tried quite a few brands before, either locally made or imported, and I'm excited to hear that one of my fav brand, MELILEA has recently came out their own essential oils series.

Comfort Zone from Italy @ Sublime Skin Lift & Firm Ampoule

It's been a month since we got the second Covid lockdown in Malaysia.
I believe we all are trying to get used to a new normal, such as handwashing, social distancing, wearing masks, avoid going to crowded places etc.
It takes time to adapt to the new normal, especially me who must visit the facial and hair saloon for at least once a month to pamper my skin and hair.
Ever since the Covid outbreak that happened last year, I stopped getting facials and hair cuts at the saloons to keep my distance to protect myself and my families. 
It's already been more than a year I've been focusing on pampering skin at home; not only elevated my at-home facial routine, I also added extra products and tools to make sure my skin is smoother and softer all time at home. 
And recently, I came across a new brand, Comfort Zone, a professional skin care brand founded in 1996 in Italy. 
Comfort Zone has a 20-year heritage in the spa industry along with constant innovation to offer result-oriented, clean formulas and spa treatments for face and body.
The brand focuses on the skin's needs for a moisturizing-brightening or filling effect, and has tested with visible results from the first application and after 7 days,
All their products are fully active formulated with concentrated natural ingredients and functional active ingredients, without any raw materials that have a negative impact on the environment, such as silicones, mineral oil, animal derivatives, artificial colours and sulfates.
I've been using one of the star products, Sublime Skin Lift & Firm Ampoule for 7 days, and very excited to share with you guys about my personal review and experience about it.

Dr Murad Intense Recovery Cream @ Murad Hydration

I believe we all experienced moments of stressed-out skin in our lives.
Stressed-out skin could happen from poor rest, emotional stress, digital stress such as too much blue light from extreme screen time, hormonal changes, having too much time in the heat, sun, wind or water, getting redness and rashes from allergies, aggressive beauty routines, and many other reasons. 
When your skin tends to feel irritated, flaky, puffy, tingly, tight or dry, you are most probably having stressed-out skin which need to be extra careful on it.
Other than the inside out solutions like nourishing your skin with hydrating skincare products, getting your daily 8 glasses of water, exercising and also be kind to your mind like doing medication, adding some self-care indulgences into your daily beauty regimen is also very important. 
So this time round, I'm sharing you the freshly released hero that I'm currently in love with, Dr Murad Intense Recover Cream, the Murad's richest facial cream to date, to soothes the visible signs of skin stress, whether environmental or triggered by lifestyle. 
This intense cream has surprised me in many ways, if you are looking for a way to take back control of stressed skin or tired face, continue to read on this beauty post and learn about this fantastic and gentle facial cream with me! :)

Anessa @ Perfect UV Skincare Gel & Whitening UV Sunscreen Gel

Hello Hello!
Welcome back to my beauty blog.
Today is all about skin protection with sunscreen products.
I'm a big fan of sunscreen for my face and body, and to be honest I never go out without wearing them.
Even now I stay at home most of the time, I still apply sunscreen just in case if my skin will have a risk of exposure to UV rays when I'm close to a window. 
So for me, sunscreen basically is one of the important daily essentials because I always believe that wearing sunscreen will help your skin maintain a healthier look.
I came across Anessa quite a long time ago, where my girl friends usually stocked up Anessa products when they traveled to Japan. 
Anessa, the No. 1 Sun Care in Japan for the past 17 years, has the perfect combination of beauty and 100 years of research by Shiseido experts.
With an aim to provide women with beautiful, radiant, and strong skin to protect itself against harmful UV rays, Anessa gives you 50% skincare ingredients on top of sun care formulations to nurture beautiful skin while keeping it protected.
I've heard a lot of good reviews about Anessa, so excited that I finally have the chance to try it on my own and share my personal reviews about it with you guys!


Murad @ Vita-C Glycolic Brightening Serum & Vita-C Eyes Dark Circle Corrector

Hey pretties! Let's talk about vitamin C today? :)
Do you know what are vitamin C's benefits for skin?
Indeed, there are plenty...Vitamin C is an essential building block for firm youthful-looking skin, promotes collagen production, and helps diminish fine lines.
On top of that, it also acts as an antioxidant that able to combat free radicals and protects skin from UV damage, and also inhibits melanin production in the skin, helps to lighten hyperpigmentation and brown spots, even out skin tone and enhance skin radiance.
All in all, the reality is that if we want to slow the effects of aging, then vitamin C should be an integral part of your skin regimen. :)
I'm so excited that one of my favourite skincare brand, Murad had recently launched two new products which are the Vita-C Glycolic Brightening Serum and Vita-C Eyes Dark Circle Corrector, both mainly to give a brighter and healthier looking skin.
I've been testing out these two products for the past 2 weeks, so here's my sharing and personal thoughts that I would like to share with you all today.



Bye Bye Pores From PINK BY PURE BEAUTY @ A Clear Complexion with Korea’s Beauty Care New Range Added with Activated Carbon

From time to time, when I look in the mirror, I hope that I could do something to shrink those large pores on my skin, especially on my T-zone areas.
Those big pores on my T-zone areas are probably due to my appearance of combination skin, where I have quite an oily skin condition, excess oil production on these oiliest areas.
It's not easy to change the size and look of the pores, but I always believe there are some ways that can help minimize their appearance, maybe make pores less noticeable.
For instance, cleanse your face well to get rid of excess dirt and oil, exfoliate your skin one to two times per week, switch up the skin care products that designed to clear excess sebum and acne, use a product with an SPF of at least 30, stay hydrated and moistures always etc.
Speaking about skin care products to help shrinking the pore appearances, PINK by Pure Beauty recently returns with a comprehensive new range for a healthy beautiful skin that will leave your skin smooth and glowing, and most importantly, the products are mainly targeting to solve clogged pores, pigmented pores and sagging pores.

From face toner to sheet masks, Korean beauty products and trends are taking over many other beauty markets.

If you are a loyal reader of mine (ahem...), by now you should have probably known that. #hehe
I've been using and also sharing with you guys many different beauty products for years; toner, serum, essence, lotion, face cream, beauty masks etc.
I think because one thing I certainly like about the Korean beauty products is I always admire the beautiful and clear skin of the Korean women and hoping to achieve the same smooth, radiant and dewy skin like theirs. :)
Not only the Korean women beautiful complexion have captured my attention, the ingredients in the skincare products, their innovation & technological advancements, comparative pricing, attractive packaging etc are also the reasons why I'm so into it. :)
It's exciting to know that Cellapy, South Korea's leading and most trusted dermatologist skincare is now available at Malaysia Watsons!
