Oxy Anti-Bacterial Acne Patch: Just as good as it seems to be

If you remember, all these years we can only find Nexcare Acne Patch at the local drugstore until another brand, Miacare came out with acne patch for day and night end of last year. This year Oxy too came out with their own version of acne patch! Introducing Oxy Acti-Bacterial Acne Patch 🙂

Oxy Anti-Bacterial Acne Patch
This Oxy Anti-Bacterial Acne Patch came just in time as I’ve given my brother all the acne patches I have and I was left with none. My skin has been acting up lately probably due to hormonal changes and the hot weather. I was having a good skin for weeks until a week ago. Sigh. I do find acne patches to be extremely hassle-free to use and this new product from Oxy comes with anti-bacterial formula that is proven by the world’s leading inspection, verification, testing and certification company, SGS to be effectively inhibit acne bacteria and for it’s strong ability to absorb secretion from the acne.

Dr. Brandt Review: Skin Care Skin Care - Anti-Ageing

Do Not Age with Dr. Brandt Transforming Pearl Serum: A Madonna’s favourite that probably works better on skin with visible signs of aging

Something about me. I’m not that proactive in event. The reality is, all of the product launch event comes with a mini game or activity to spice up the overall agenda. You know, the kind of activity that gets your brain moving after a dull day at work. However, I’m not into such activity. Not because the organizers did a bad job in this matter but when I go to event, I’m getting away from the work so I want to just relax, mingle with my fellow friends, laugh, feel the product, learn about the product and go home happily. I don’t wanna crack my brain at all. Not even a bit!

So when it’s ‘game’ time, I usually slide down the chair so that I’m half hidden underneath the crowd. Let’s face it. I’m not creative if you ask me to create something middle of the day and I’m usually the unlucky one when it comes to contest. I attended the Dr. Brandt Do Not Age blogger event a few months ago and when it’s game time, I cringed. But when I found out that the game is crossword puzzle, for some odd reason I suddenly woke up from feeling miserable and all hyped up. Even I surprised myself. THIS, I’m interested! Long story cut short, the fastest person to finish the crossword puzzle get to win a full size bottle of Do Not Age with Dr. Brandt Transforming Pearl Serum worth RM499 and I won it. It’s not easy at all since the paper that was given to us was merely a A6 size (quarter of A4 paper) and the words are so small that one can go blind staring it. Again for some very odd reason, the words just popped out in front of my eyes.

Do Not Age with Dr. Brandt Transforming Pearl Serum
Initially I didn’t want to review this serum because as you know, it’s very hard for me to gauge whether anti-aging product works on me due to the fact that I don’t have visible signs of aging. I was looking at the outer box for a while now, trying to make sense of what it claimed to do against the hefty price tag. I thought I might as well do a review on it before I ran out.

Burt's Bees Review: Skin Care Skin Care - Lips

Burt’s Bees Beeswax Lip Balm Tin: When anger turns to hate before turning into love. This is by far one of the best lip balm I’ve used!

A few years ago I bought a copy of Marie Claire April 2011 as it comes with a tube of Burt’s Bees Beeswax Lip Balm. I have heard so much rave on the lip balm so I bought it. Maybe the tube I had had gone bad or whatsoever because it taste awful and I totally dislike the dry texture. I threw that away and never went back to Burt’s Bees for their highly raved lip balm. Earlier this year, I needed a new lip balm for night time so I went to Sephora to look for one and decided to give Burt’s Bees a second chance. I bought Burt’s Bees Beeswax Lip Balm Tin.

Burt’s Bees Beeswax Lip Balm comes in two type of packaging, the normal tube or the one in a small metal tin. My room is quite hot in the mid day and most lip balm I had melted with such heat circulating in the room. I figure I would like the one that comes in a small tin. Plus it’s cute so why not 😀

Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm
Burt’s Bees Beeswax Lip Balm is the original lip balm that’s been around since 1991. This small tin contain 8.5g of product while the tube only contain 4.25g of product. Price wise, it’s the same. I bought the tin version for RM22 while the tube version cost RM22 as well. RM22 may sound like a hefty price to pay for just a lip balm comparing to drugstore brand that only cost slightly over RM10 for a 4.5g, isn’t it?

Clarins Event Review: Skin Care Skin Care - Eye Care

Clarins Extra-Firming Eye Complete Rejuvenating Cream: An all-rounder anti-aging eye cream

Today, at this very moment, this current time in my life, if I were to choose a skin concern that bothers me the most, that would be my under eye wrinkles. I’ve come to peace with what used to bothers me in the past (acne marks) because I soon realized that it was my under eye wrinkles that made me look 10 times older.

I love to use eye cream. I think I went overboard with the amount I used over the past one year so I’ve developed ‘another’ concern and that is tiny bits of oil seeds. Add that with under eye wrinkles and you get one very unhappy girl. That is me. So when I was invited for an upcoming Clarins Extra-Firming Eye Complete Rejuvenating Cream press preview launch two months ago, boy oh boy I was more than delighted to go. Before you all go “what? another eye cream?”, then I gotta tell you this in advance before my review below. In the Extra-Firming range, Clarins actually had an eye serum AND an eye cream – the Clarins Advanced Extra Firming Eye Contour Serum and Eye Contour Cream. Most users feedback that it is troublesome to apply two separate product just for the eyes so Clarins took that duo away and replaced with THIS 😀

Clarins Extra-Firming Eye Complete Rejuvenating Cream
At the launch of 4th generation of Clarins Shaping Facial Lift Total V Contouring Serum not too long ago, I found out that Asian women carries larger face pockets on the jawline thus having a rounder face feature comparing to Caucasian women. It is not a surprise that both group have different eye shape and sizes but what we don’t know is that because of this dissimilarity, the aging process of Asian eyes is also at a more rapid rate. This is why I have been saying over and over again that we shouldn’t skip eye care routine. I believe each and every one of us have been searching for the ultimate eye cream that is powerful enough to target all concern at once. Clarins said that you can now be at ease because the search is finally over as Clarins Extra-Firming Eye Complete Rejuvenating Cream offers a complete solution to age defying eyes especially for Asian women.

Budget - Skin Care Budget Buy Review: Skin Care SENKA Skin Care - Sunblock/Sunscreen

SENKA Mineral UV Essence SPF50 PA++++: First anti-aging sunscreen that is light on the skin with superior protection

Nobody like a higher SPF sunscreen that feels sticky on the skin. I certainly don’t. I stopped using sunscreen that are anything higher than SPF35 a few months ago where my face is relatively much more oilier than it was before. I’m very much into applying sunscreen on my face no matter what therefore to completely stop using sunscreen just because it’s sticky is not an option for me. I can live without cream base moisturizer but not sunscreen.

Nothing makes me happier than receiving sunscreen product. For some reason I’m obsessed with trying out all the sunscreen products available. I think we should all gift everyone sunscreen for all occassion lol. Enough of the rambling. Let’s see if SENKA Mineral UV Essence SPF50 PA++++ fits the bill for me shall we?

Senka Mineral UV Essence
SENKA together with it’s philosophy “The Skincare Made With You” is developed by Shiseido that aims to fulfill customer’s skincare needs that are gathered through a survey. Although it is made available to consumers through retailing at drugstores nationwide, do no underestimate its quality and efficacy. You get the same if not better quality as any premium or counter brands. I always said it and I’m going to say it again. Japanese made the best skincare products. Don’t you agree? 😉

Kiehl's Review: Skin Care Skin Care - Cleanser

Kiehl’s Calendula Deep Cleansing Foaming Face Wash: A foaming gel cleanser for normal to oily skin type. Perfect for double cleansing as well

This is by far the toughest review I ever need to type out. No, not because the product is bad or whatsoever but my skin is in a state where everything is a-okay for me. That explains the delay in posting up the review by July. I told myself today that no matter what, I got to tell you about Kiehl’s Calendula Deep Cleansing Foaming Face Wash.

Kiehl's Calendula Deep Cleansing Foaming Face Wash
True story – everytime I step into a Kiehl’s store, I tend to stand in front of Calendula Herbal Toner for a very long time, grabbing the bottle, tilting the bottle upside down numerous times, admiring the floating Marigold flower petals. Did you know that the Marigold flower petals are all hand-picked and placed into each and every bottle by hand? It’s just so pretty. The prettiest and unique toner I’ve ever seen. It is also because of the iconic Calendula Herbal Toner that Kiehl’s came out with Calendula Deep Cleansing Foaming Face Wash, a gentle and paraben-free face wash for normal to oily skin type, which makes a great pair to the toner.
