Review: Hada Labo New Face Wash Launched With 3 Variants – Hydra & Whitening, Deep Clean & Pore Refining and Deep Clean & Blemish Control Face Wash

What attract me to Hada Labo shelf in the drugstore is the packaging. I’m a fan of the color white especially when it comes to beauty related stuff, just like the blog layout. I thought it looked clean :D. Another distinctive attraction of the brand Hada Labo is all the Japanese writing on the front tube of the bottle or tube. It’s like a mystery as I can’t read Japanese but somehow attracted to it. The Japs make good skin care and makeup don’t you think so? 😉

Asian skin type and need are unique and different due to the climate and environment surrounding. Hada Labo recognized these differences and came up with different types of cleanser previously for example Moisturizing Face Wash, es Foaming Wash, AHA/BHA Cleansing and Whitening Face Wash. Just last month Hada Labo launched three new face wash products, and so I was sent these Hada Labo New Face Wash to try out. Maybe Hada Labo sense that I was running out of cleanser eh?

Just the other day I was telling my friends over Facebook that I wash my face three times a day and my friend said it’s too much. I disagree, because I have oily skin and my three times of washing only include morning after waking up, double cleanse after removing makeup and just before I go to sleep. These three times are the main face washing that I can’t skip, or I’ll end up with a face that I could even fried up an egg lol.

Review: Freeman Charcoal & Black Sugar Facial Polishing Mask to Purify, Detox and Exfoliate at the Same Time

If you have been following the blog for some time, you are well aware that I am not really a fan of sheet mask as I still think wash off mask is more convenient for me. The funny thing is most people told me the opposite :). I think the main reason on why I would prefer wash off mask is because I usually apply mask at night while I blog. Sheet mask will slide down my face slowly and I’m very afraid that this will drag all my skin down on prolong usage. But that’s just a personal preference. Everyone is different in a way 😀

When I was asked on which tube of Freeman mask that I would like to bring home to use, I don’t even have to think twice and pointed at Charcoal & Black Sugar Facial Polishing Mask.

Freeman Charcoal & Black Sugar Face Polishing Mask 1
Although Freeman Charcoal & Black Sugar Facial Polishing Mask looks like some kind of mask that are suitable for combination to oily skin, this mask is actually meant for all skin type. This is a unique mask AND scrub that works double the time to purify, detox and exfoliate the skin.

The tube is huge for 150ml of content! I’m sure you won’t miss this at the local drugstore. The tube itself is kinda soft. At the moment I don’t have any issue with squeezing and dispensing the content out as the content in it is still full but since this mask contain actual black sugar, the sugar bits is stuck at the dispense hole so the cap won’t closed properly. Each time after using this mask I would need to wipe off the leftover from the dispensing hole in order to close the cap properly.

Review: Himalaya Nourishing Skin Cream, My Current Favorite Moisturizer + A Little Something Something For My Dear Readers!

For someone that have unstable skin condition like mine will need to change daily moisturizer constantly. There are times where my skin are dry, peeling but oily at the same time and there are times where my skin are just purely oily. To be honest with you I’m a bit addicted in opening up those jars of moisturizer from my stash.

Just to update you a bit on my skin before Himalaya Nourishing Skin Cream came along. A few months ago I was having a hard time with the oiliness on my face. My makeup melted frequent, I blot so many times in a day…everything is just too oily for me. I figure that my skin has reached it’s peak whereas I used too much skin care and that I don’t need that much anymore. So I cut down on my serum. From 3-serum to just one and then moisturizer. It was working out great but later on my skin was back to oily. But I was depressed because I love layering my skin care. How am I going to finish my stash?? One day, someone (I forgot who oppss!) told me that it could be that my skin is too dry. She advised me to use moisturizer, although I told her I did use. Maybe not enough 😀

So, I re-look back into my skin care regime and change my moisturizer. To creamier one. The only one I have is Himalaya Nourishing Skin Cream and it has been staring at me for months!

There is nothing to shout about on the packaging. I got to admit. It’s not attractive, it’s not screaming “USE ME NOW”, in fact it looked like some Middle Eastern company produced it LOL. The brand name on the other hand doesn’t sound Eastern so it really looked a bit dodgy.

Now, this Neesya 3-Step Routine review is something that I was looking forward to. By right it was suppose to go up before the first Neesya review I did a while ago.

The one you are reading now focus on the basic 3-step skin care routine while the previous one focus on Neesya star products.

Let me refresh your mind just a little bit on Neesya 😀

Neesya is a skin care brand developed and manufactured in Malaysia by Skinworkz Sdn Bhd, under the management of Chris Yong who is the CEO of the company. He is definitely one interesting and inspiring guy I ever met and talk to :). As you can see from the previous “after” picture, it is pretty obvious that I had benefited from the brightening and clarity effect from Neesya. I hope you will to!

Review: Sunplay Watery Cool Body Mist Sunblock & After Sun Gel Takes Care of You When You Are Outdoor

I am not someone who do most activities outdoor like cycling, swimming, jogging, running and so on. But, I do have my fair share of staying under the sun most of the time – I roam around Klang Valley from meeting to meeting :D. During my younger days when I was very active with car races. I used to go Sepang International Circuit (SIC) most of the time. If you are a regular you will know SIC is extremely hot. Temperature at the circuit is much more hotter than KL. Other than that I used to drive up to Penang on every weekend for fun. I got tanned from the driving and I love it! So yeah, I was quite tan a few years ago and let’s just say I’m thankful that I don’t suffer any skin disease because I did not apply any drop of sunblock at all! Oppss 😀

There’s this incident that happened to me just a few days ago. I can’t remember which day it is but I had forgotten to apply sunblock to the face. I was roaming around town for meetings as usual and when I reached home, my face was literally darker. No it wasn’t the foundation that oxidize on me as my face still looked darker after I double cleanse the makeup off. I was wondering what happen. Then only I remember I had forgotten my sunblock. Wow. The sun is really strong nowadays eh? What about the body? I strongly recommend these. Sunplay Watery Cool Body Mist Sunblock SPF 75 PA+++ and Sunplay After Sun Gel.

Review: Luminous Skin That Shines from Within with Neesya 360° Overnight Radiance System

In my quest for skin care that are not only affordable but also deliver as per claim, I was introduced to a brand new skin care brand – Neesya which is one of Malaysia’s first skin radiance specialist brand. Yeap you heard me right :D. Neesya is a local brand, by a Malaysia company.

Neesya was launched just before middle of last month (July 2013) and I was one of the selected invitee. You can read this post for more of that. Not only did I went for the media launch and also a little visit to their new store at Subang Parade, I get to try 3 Neesya products a few weeks before that.

So how did my quest went? Let’s find out 😀

The trio that I tried is the 360° Overnight Radiance System that consists of Lumi°™ Brightening Enzymatic Refiner, LumiScience°™ Illuminating Essence and Lumi°™ Brightening Overnight Mask. So what’s up with the “Lumi” and “LumiScience” word in front of the product name you may ask? It’s actually the product range name 🙂
