Salam and Hai everyone...
Now.. This is my latest on to the date right now skin care product. I have to say that i think I've found my ultimate one skin care regime that i have been searching for ages... It gives me what i want, it has what i want...
Introducing CLARINS white plus HP range...

Well actually i have been wanting to try clarins for a while already. I always gave a glance on their counter each time i pass through them. But i don't know why i didn't stop and explore... may be i'm saving it for the last or pretending that there will be a perfect right time for CLARINS gliding on my face.... So this time its ur time CLARINS.. welcome to my world!

Last Thursday, me and miss NH stopped by to CLARINS promotion counter in Pavilion KL. We met a nice BA Yvase... She showed and helped me to try out all the Clarins white plus HP products... I was so temted and bought myself a set of Clarins white plus HP best buy product:

 This is among the products available in the best buy set together a sample of face lifting and milk toner (the small small cute bottle/golden tube)

Will update u guys later with reviews... but till now i am so in live with this line from CLARINS...

Burt's Bee Radiance starter Kit & Radiance Serum

After a while now, my skin soothe a bit from redness.. now i'm back for looking skincare that can give radiance for my skin. Burt's bee radiance... wow from its name already i got the urge to check it out!

The Burt's Bee Radiance Starter Kit
I got this starter kit from burt's bee outlet in Sunway Pyramid for RM90. This kit include a facial wash, spf20 day moisturizer lotion, eye cream, night cream, and a lip shimmer.
As an overall, this range was quite heavy to me. It gave me oily face after application especially with the day and night cream. The cleanser is very creamy and thick, it left ur skin very moisturize. I think this range would be very good for people with dry skin. As the products of burt's bee are from royal jelly and honey, they do provide u a tons of vitamins and moisturize u well. But i guess not for me.. i would prefer a mate finish not oily face.

The Burt's Bee Radiance Serum
Ok this serum is quite good. It does give u a radiance complexion. But not that fairer looking face. I'm used this almost half of the bottle. This serum does not give u oily face like other oil base serum. It absorb really fast into my skin. Would stay using this until i finish up.

The Body Shop Aloe Vera Set

After the bodyshop Natrulift line... i was recommended with this aloe vera soothing line. Me and miss NH went to body shop in KLCC and met a nice beauty advisor (BA) named Azza who suggested me to use this line as my skin was very sensitive at had redness on cheeks and nose. I was to use this aloe vera skincare to give my skin a treatment moment and to relax from harmful skin care ingredients. According to Azza i could go back to any targeted skin care products after i use this aloe vera range. I was so influenced by her and bought myself 3 products from aloe vera that were able to combat my sensitiveness. The price was very affordable plus the GP sale was on during that time, i got a price of RM110+ for 3 products and sample for night cream from body shop aloe vera.. worth it!

Aloe Gentle Facial Wash
This cleanser is very very gentle. It really soothe down my redness and in the same time cleanse my face well. I love love this. I would really recommend this for those who want they skin to give it a rest...

Aloe Calming Toner
This toner is very light and watery. As its said to calm ur sensitiveness, it does what it say.However i don't feel the 'puas' feeling after application. I always think that watery toner do not do well, but hey this for your relax time treatment so just calm down and enjoy it while it repair ur skin..

Aloe Soothing Day Cream
This cream is very light, has no smell and very good for moisturizing even though ur facing redness or any other skin problem.

Overall:
This range is so good.. I would come back to use this each time when i'm suffer from break out using other products. It will give you like a medical treatment u needed to get ur skin back healthy again! highly recommended for sensitive skin and those who need DR skin..

The Body Shop Natrulift Starter Kit

Last month my skincare journey continue with this nice maroon red skincare set from the body shop.
This their new range for anti aging skincare line called NATRULIFT made from pomegranate. I do want o love this line from body shop but it was too heavy for me. The SA girl from midvalley body sho told me that i could already use this as i'm coming towards 30's already... but i guess my skin is still on the early 20's as i can't tolerate this (hihihihi...). The cream cleanser is ok, but a bit oily. I was really impressed with the toner at first when i applied it on the back of my hand as it remove dirt so well and clarifies well... BUT>> when applied to my face i feel this burning sensation that was too awful on my face. My face was getting redness out of using this. The day and night moisturizer was really moisturizing but a bit heavy for me, and i sweat a lot when using them. I wanted to love them but i guess i just have too let it go....

SAFI RANIA GOLD

My ambition to save more from skin care products seems to go deeper. Early this year i put my self a challenge to try Safi Rania Gold.. This skincare is very affordable and can easily get almost anywhere from mini market to hypermarket. I bought myself the "set siang" which only cost me RM39.90 (if not mistaken), a day and night cream which each cost RM20++ from Mydin Hypermarket... this so wow and wow cheap!
Safi rania gold has a very good reviews on keeping skin look younger and radiant... i hope to achieve this also! Not to say that my skin look old or mature but i do lack of some radiance.. and hey... prevention is better than cure right? why not start now to prevent aging..

The "set siang" consist of a cleanser, toner, serum. The cleanser has a very creamy texture and gold colour. It does give a nice clean face after washing ur face with it. Toner has rose smell and give u a sense of relex upon application. For me, i do not like the toner as it is so watery and i felt like it does nit do its job as a toner. Serum was the star product of this line. It has a light ans smooth texture. i noticed my pores were getting smaller when using this for a while.
The day and night moisturizer were ok ok to use for the purpose of moisturizing ur skin. I do not have negative or positive view on this, but its an ok products..

AVENE for Sensitive and Dry Skin

After using Clinique for awhile, and started to finish up its toner, cleanser and etr... I have money issue... aaaah not best la this time.. So, i have to cut down my budget on skin care... I started to look for skin care from drug stores such as Watsons and Guardian..
As my skin at that time was very dry, and sensitive.. I was so urged to try AVENE..
AVENE is a skin care from France that is formulated for people with sensitive skin. I give this a try but the price was not so cheap like RM50 below but affordable price at RM100 below..

These are the products i used from AVENE:

AVENE Gentle Toner
This toner is very very gentle. Its like baby powder put in water. You have to shake first before use it. You will very soothe after application. Good for redness. I love this but after a while i felt like this do nothing to my skin.

AVENE Hydrance Optimale Rich Hydrating Cream
This moisturizer is very hydrating but has light texture. It is not a heavy cream but is just suitable for dry skin. Very good for sensitive and dehydrated skin.

AVENE Sensitive White
After a while using the basic dry skin range from AVENE, i started to want more from this products..
I then tried AVENE SENSITIVE WHITE. I bought a trial pack for this range for RM 30+ during Christmas promotion last year. It has sensitive white whitening lotion, sensitve white whitenng essence (serum), sensitive white whitening fluid (moisturizer) and thermal spring water. All came in small pumps. HOW to say this... my skin totally do not like this. I get brake out from even the first time of application. The serum, moisturizer gave me itchy skin, redness and tiny2 bumps appeared. My saver was the thermal spring water...
i wonder why this doesn;t work for me.. i guess it was the whitening agent that hates my skin so much!

AVENE Thermal Water Spring
This is my hero from AVENE. Each time i get sudden brake out from any skin care products, this will be like fireman. Its water really soothe soreness on your skin. Just spray to ur whole face and relax to let ot get rid away all the unwanted stuff that ur skin hate so much. Really recommend this, beat face mist ever!

Clinique 3-Step Skin Care

Clinique 3-Step Skin Care

End of last year, with the disappointment from the unsuccessful results from SK2 Skin Power Kit... i decided to give my skin a calm treatment from the dermatological kind of products. I would like anything that look like skincare from medical side. I then decided to go with Clinique. The name Clinique itself sounded like clinic, where people seek for medical treatment. It sounded that my skin need medical treatment..

I went to the Jusco midvalley counter with miss NH, as she once used products from Clinique.My skin was diagnosed to be lacking hydration and radiance. As known, the sa pointed that my skin has dry cheeks and oily nose and t-zone. She also pointed that i had oil seed (milia) around eye area and some on cheek bones.
Huh that was quite hard, oil seed meaning too much oil on face, but then some area of my face is dry then needed moisturizing. So, she gave me the 3 step skincare for combination skin, but a moisturizer for combination oily skin. The toner was on the moisturize side.

Step 1- Clinique Liquid Facial Soap
A very mild liquid cleanser. It has no smell. As its name, it does really feel like soap. But it cleanse really well.

Step 2- Clinique Clarifying Moisture Lotion
I do really really really like this toner. It clarifies and hydrate ur skin in once. I would repurchase this if my other toners are not working. really recommend this if u want to clarify and keep ur face hydrate all in once after cleansing. So refreshing!

Step 3 - Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturing Lotion
This moisturizer works well, did not felt heavy upon application. It absorbed really fast, and left feeling mate.

Clinique Turnaround Concentrate Extra Radiance Renewer
This was the serum i had used together with the 3-step. As said from the clinique website, "at the surface, silky serum replaces dull, worn-out cells with livelier, more luminous ones. Skin breathes, accepts moisture better and grows stronger. Optimizes up-and-coming cells to help the best and brightest emerge, so skin seems to glow from within". After i finished one bottle, i didn't see any improvements on my skin radiance. The product was ok, ok la... but did not feel that 'puas feeling'..

Clinique Super City Block - SPF 40
I also purchased this sunblock from clinique. I didn't like this sunblock as it gave me oily skin after a few hours after application. For me a small amount is enough to cover the face. A friend siad that i look dull if i wear this. huh... didn't like the comments so i stopped using this...

Christian Dior Capture Totale Eye

Christian Dior Capture Totale Eye

As Sephora had landed in Malaysia, me and miss NH went for visit (niat nk melawat jer but x tahan godaan as soon as melangkah masuk) to Sephora near Pavilion KL. Well, actually i was on my search for a good eye treatment to combat my dark saggy eye problem. After looking around, we were entertained by their SA who was very helpful. She introduce me with this eye treatment from CD. She applied this product around my eye bag area and in a few second i could see tremendous result. Not just the eye bag look much better, the dark circle also had reduced. She explained that sephora customer swear on this and kept returning back to repurchase. Without a lot of thinking i bought this straightaway, it was quite pricey RM200++, but since the SA and miss NH keep on influencing... i rest my case, paid and leave.

This product is really great. I still use this eye treatment till now. The product last for quite long, i have not even finished my first tube yet. one push of the pump is enough to apply for both eye area. After pumping the tube, a tiny amount of cream will spill out, put on ur finger and rub with ur other finger then apply to ur eye area. Simple and naaah u will see tremendous result right away!

SK2 Skin Power Kit

SK2 Skin Power Kit

After bosan sudah with Kiehl's, i was tempted to use SK2 again. Not that Kiehl's was not good, but after a while i feel that Kiehl's  will make your skin look perfect when you use it, but if you stop using it, like u forgot or something then ur skin will look so not nice, like dull.. so me and miss NH (she also think the same way as i am) think that Kiehl's only have a temporary wow effect on our skin...

We went to Midvalley, Isetan SK2 counter and had my skin diagnosed by the sa (forgot her name, it was last year). They analyze my skin for the 5 dimension of crystal clear skin. Of course i did not score all fives dimensions, I was lacking in radiance and lines. After testing and trying, i bought the skin power kit to enhance my skin power, well actually for me so that i will look more radiant. This is my journey to crystal clear skin:

The skin power kit consist of SK2 pitera essence, SK2 skin signature 3D refining mask, SK2 skin signature cream and a spatula for the cream.

I was really exited to try out this power kit set.... however i was sooooooo disappointed that my skin could not accept the essence anymore as it can 2 or 3 years ago when i first used this essence. i wounder why oh why.... i really wanted to use this and see good results. Upon using this essence, i experienced itchiness and small tiny bumps appeared.

With the SK2 skin signature cream (the moisturizer) it was too heavy for me, it was like forever to let it sink into my skin. And i did keep on sweating after wearing this.

For the mask, i did not use this yet until now.. i'm saving for a special event that might pop up someday and planning to use it before the event. Hope the mask would give good result. Will update later when i sue it.

So, i guess SK2 ias not suitable for me any longer. Despite the nonsuccessive result, i still continue to use and finish the small bottle of essence and skin signature cream (mahal loooo kena habiskan...) as in the same time seek for another skincare to try on.

Before i jump to another skin care product, i bought this SK2 facial treatment gentle cleanser. i loved this cleanser so much. It has a rich creamy consistency and the smell is so refreshing... rase petals... ahhh i can still imagine the smell right now. Using it make me feel like i was pampered like a princess...
It is so expensive for a cleanser RM199.. but since would not repurchase the SK2 essence or moisturize anymore, so this is a good bye also... but i do LOVE IT! maybe one day, one fine day i'll be back for uuu..

Kiehl's Skin care range

Kiehl's Skin care range...

As aged mature.... (chewaaaaah matur tu, but not that old laaa).. the URGE came... I crave for new skin care products and fall in love with tempting new skin care products that can be found like 'cendawan tumbuh after rain'...

A friend introduced this Kiehl's skin care range and i started to google ( ouh i really love to google product reviews) and surprisingly found positive comments on their products.

Starting with, me and miss NH went to the midvalley Kiehl's boutiqe and was entertained very well... we had some consultation on our skin needs and later was introduced to these beautiful good products. Kiehl's is very good in their marketing strategies as you can ask for samples to try out first before u buy in full package. You will noticed that i have mixed products from different lines available fron kiehl's, this is just to combat all my needs. As he SA said that it is ok to mix and match ur needs, i just go on and try lah. Here it goes:

Kiehl's Surface Brightening Exfoliator:

A face exfoliator that is gently enough to use every day... i love this products but my skin can not tolerate for using it twice per day. It was quite harsh for me to use it continuously...  But i think miss NH found it wonders on her skin and used it as day and night face wash. Of course it depends on ur skin type and tolerance. But this product does good job to exfoliate ur skin, in term of whitening i do not experience any whitening effect as maybe i just used one tube of this and never repurchase it.

Well, as for me (Miss NH), I feel my face fresh, really clean and I could see bright complexion after using this exfoliator. Even though it got tiny beads, it did not harsh my skin tough I used it twice daily.I t did not dry up my skin and this is one of my favourite products from Kiehl's. It is good for cleansing purpose but not for whitening of course. I finished the whole tube after 7 months used (twice daily), so for the RM115 paid for it, I think it's reasonable and affordable to purchase.

Kiehl's Clarifying Whitening Toner:

This toner is lovely as it has a milky consistency. Really does clarifies your skin cleaning any residues left on ur skin after cleansing. We would really recommend this!

Kiehl's Yerba Mate Tea Lotion:
Tea for the skin anyone? yeah this product smells like tea leaves... refreshing smell but hold ur breath for a while if u don't like tea... For me, i do really love this moisturizer, it does its job as a moisturizer. i do not like thick and sticky feeling after applying moisturizer. I didn't experienced any greasy feeling with this but at first it will make u feel a bit sticky but will fade away minutes after. It does moisturized but i think.. in my humble opinion it make u feel ur face is darken a bit (hahaha a.k.a rasa kusam jeee)

Kiehl's Acai Damage-minimising cleanser:

As the Kiehl's Surface Brightening Exfoliator was so not not suitable for me to use day and night. I decided to buy another face wash on my next purchase of Kiehl's product. So i was recommended with this cleanser which was suppose to give me a mild cleansing experience but loads a lot of antioxidant which is good to prevent skin damage. How i feel about this product? ahaaa it has a strong smell, really felt like it has loads of antioxidant but gentle on face. However, i don't feel 'puas' feeling as the foam is so light... but it cleans well.

Kiehl's Acai Damage - protecting toner mist:

I finished my prevoius loved  Kiehl's Clarifying Whitening Toner and decided to try this acai toner mist. I wonder why i changed my toner to this.. really couldn.t remember.. maybe just to try and match with the cleanser above... Ok, i did not like this toner actually and didn't manage to finish the whole bottle. Reason i dont like it is just because i don't like the misting effect for a toner. I don't feel like it clarifies and cleanse off any left impurities. But for just to hydrate  ur face or setting upp makeup, this toner mist might help.

Kiehl's Yerba Mate cleanser:

This is my third Kiehl's cleanser, just because i loved the yerba mate lotion moisturizer i decided to give this a try. This is actually for oily skin, but i would like to feel the mate effect after using this cleanser. However, after using this for a couple of weeks i found that i felt bored using this, as it does nit give me any wow effect on me. Its just an ok product, wash, cleanse and left with a clean face, Thats all!

Last but not least from the Kiehl's must have products:

Kiehl's Powerful-Strength Line Reducing Concentrate

This is a serum that is packed with vitamin c in a bottle. I do really love this product, it's quite pricey but it will pleased u with the brightening effect. After application, you will slightly experienced a mild burning effect which will fade in just seconds. What i don't like about it is the packaging. The pump is quite hard to press to let the fluid out as the fluid has a quite thick consistency. After a while, as i seldom used this for a moment and wanted to use this again... i felt a strange smell like glue, and felt a more strong burning effect on my skin. I stopped using this as i think the product has oxidized, i read somewhere that vitamin c can easily changed from its original  form with lights. so if u want to buy this.. keep on using it.. dont stop, put aside and after awhile decided to use it again.... this is really good serum anyhow, its just me who dont appreciate it... ahaa teruk me..

Kiehls's Midnight Recovery Concentrate

This is to be the night serum before u go to sleep. Again i am not good in having consistent application at night as my sleep regime is not consistent. I love to stay up late. however, this serum is good to keep u moisturize all night long and wake up with a bright moisturized face. The smell is like lavender oil. very calming. A bottle will last u like forever as u  need only 2 drops per application. I experienced waking up with an oily face each time i use this.. maybe it is because i do not sleep in an aircond room so i sweat a lot during hot nights. Recommended for those who want calming effect before going to sleep and sleep in cooled air room!

The body shop vitamin e range

My first skincare products...

The body shop vitamin e range..
I have been using this range for almost 3 years from 2007 to 2009... I was still naive on skincare products those time (huhuhu... jimat poket tak tergoda dengan skincare lain). A friend of mine introduce this to me. I was on my middle 20's at this time and experienced really dry skin on my cheeks.

I didn't use all the products in the range, only face wash, toner, day and night cream...
Here's my thoughts on the products:

Vitamin E Gentle Facial Wash

This is a really moisturize face wash. Soft and smooth effect after washing ur face with it. The product have rich and creamy consistency.

Vitamin E Hydrating Tone

Like the name of the toner.. hydrating. After washing with vitamin e facial wash use this toner will keep u more moisturize. Really good for extra moisturizer and tighten the ur face pores after cleansing.

Vitamin E Moisture Cream

Love the soft smell. This moisturizer was quite heavy for me, i sweat after using it but noticed then i had put too much on face. A small amount is enough to cover the face. For combination skin, avoid putting too much on nose and forehead areas.

Vitamin E Nourishing Night Cream

Like the day cream, i love the smell. I makes me feel so soft... really works for my dry cheeks.

A little introduction from miss WF.. I love beauty products especially those related to skincare. I have combination skin, oily on t-zone area, and normal or sometime can be quite dry on cheeks..
