Review: Skin Care Skin Care - Sunblock/Sunscreen Yadah

Review: Yadah Oh My Sun Block SPF35 PA++, Decent UV Ray Protection yet Light-Weight and Non-Greasy Finishing

I’m sure you are well aware of the brand Yadah by now. How can we miss it with the cute and catchy theme right? 🙂 Perhaps due to the cartoony character mascot, many are not aware that Yadah’s range of beauty products is actually for teens and young adults. That means you and I are the target user for Yadah.

So who exactly is the red hair girl that is always associated with the brand Yadah? Her name is none other than Yadah! Yadah was created as a brilliant girl, witty and optimistic, strong and loyal and she’s often seen with her pet alien Yom Yom. Yadah also have a birth date. Do look out for special promotion somewhere in the month of May because Yadah’s birthday falls on the 3rd of May 🙂 . Now the pet alien. Yom Yom is actually bigger than Yadah in size although he’s a pet. He’s an alien with super high IQ, extremely loves to eat (which pet doesn’t?), sticks to Yadah like a glue and he’s actually forced to land on earth due to space travel mishap LOL.

There you have it. A short but interesting story on Yadah and her pet alien Yom Yom. My first encounter with Yadah was last year when Yadah invited me over for an exclusive preview on Anti-Trouble Series, Lip Tint Balm and Lovely Lip Gloss, which you can read about it at this link. This year Yadah added a few new makeup products into their existing range but the most recent new product would be this Oh My Sun Block.

Yadah Oh My Sun Block 1
No price for guessing what does this product do. Based on the straightforward product name, you’ve guessed it right. It’s a sun block. Currently Yadah only have one sun block under their belt which is the Sun Cream SPF40 PA++. I’m not a fan of that because of the scent and also the stickiness thereafter so I’m quite glad when Yadah came out with Oh My Sun Block.

Estée Lauder Review: Skin Care Skin Care - Toner

All-NEW Asia Exclusive Estée Lauder Micro Essence Skin Activating Treatment Lotion – First Impression, User Experience and Final Thoughts

I bet you have already know, read or even tried the all-new Estée Lauder Micro Essence Skin Activating Treatment Lotion by now 🙂 . It is not a secret that Estée Lauder will be launching a brand new revolutionary product following a few series of teaser on their official Facebook page since the beginning of 2014. I too leaked a picture on my Instagram too, oppss! 😀 . I’ve been using Estée Lauder Micro Essence for a good full month now, plus the product was officially launched on the 15th January 2014 and stocks are already stock up at all Estée Lauder counters nationwide. It is only fair that you read on and digest it throughout the weekend before dashing out of the house to the nearest counter. Trust me, it’s going to be a good one. *Hint: I have a Before and After comparison picture*

Estee Lauder Micro Essence 1
Before I start, you might want to note that this is Asia exclusive only product. The idea, development, testing and proven result of this Micro Essence are all based on Asian women’s skin care needs. Plus we Asian just love a brighter and fairer skin don’t we 🙂

A lot of people are confuse with Estée Lauder Micro Essence. Honestly I was too at the beginning. Is it a toner? Is it a pre-serum? Softener? Or Essence? Let’s make things simple for you. Micro Essence is a treatment lotion aka essence-in-lotion. In Asia, lotion is also another word for toner. According to Estée Lauder, Micro Essence is the first-of-its-kind “essence-in-lotion” that strengthens skin’s foundation with micro power to reveal a translucent, “angelic glow” from within. Micro-Nutrient Bio-Ferment is then invented which was inspired by the strength and resilience of extremophiles, nature’s “Ultimate Survivors” that works by activating the skin’s multiple pro-youth functions and help to reset skin’s look. I often talk about the importance of skin’s ability to reset all cell counters to ZERO in order to boost the youthfulness process in epidermis. Micro Essence work in a similar way too. Prolonged use of Estée Lauder Micro Essence will help to strengthen skin barrier making it more resistant toward all signs of aging.

AUPRES Review: Skin Care Skin Care - Hydrating Skin Care - Masks

Review: Waking up to a Bouncy Skin with AUPRES Aqua Active Sleeping Mask EX. How? The Key is Improving Skin Function and Rejuvenate Skin While Sleeping

I’m pretttttyyy sure you’ve tried the old AUPRES Aqua Active Sleeping Mask. To be honest I’m not quite a fan of sleeping mask because I rely on slapping on a thick gel moisturizer to sleep which works as sleeping mask most of the time 😀 . I did tried one of the Korean brand that was famous for it’s sleeping mask but felt it to be a bit meh. I then tried AUPRES Aqua Active Sleeping Mask (because I like the white little balls in it) and thought it’s rather cool that the white balls melts away during application. Not quite there yet in impressing me. I still felt that my gel moisturizer works better. When AUPRES said they are reformulating, repackage and relaunch it’s famous AUPRES Aqua Active Sleeping Mask, I have high hopes. The new sleeping mask is now named as AUPRES Aqua Active Sleeping Mask EX.

AUPRES Aqua Active Sleeping Mask EX 1
AUPRES Aqua Active Sleeping Mask was first launched back in August 2009. The product was initiated after researcher found that lack of sleep will lead to skin roughness, dryness and dullness. AUPRES Aqua Active Sleeping Mask EX is a one-step easy solution to those that are too busy with everyday lifestyle. Regardless if you have dry skin or even oily skin, retaining the skin’s moisture level is very important. I am a firm believer that a properly hydrated skin (even oily skin) will be able to prevent and solve any skin problem 😀

Budget - Skin Care Budget Buy Review: Skin Care SENKA Skin Care - Cleanser

Review: SENKA Speedy Perfect Whip – A Whipped-Ready Version of SENKA’s Star Product, Perfect Whip

The brand SENKA that I first got to know is probably because of the whole foam “whipping” phenomena using one of their star product – Perfect Whip. And of course you can use the cleanser without the whole whipping action but what’s the fun of it right? I still remember vividly that most of my friends are so into all the foam producing that they went all out with it. Some bought a foam net, which I think is the most easiest and brilliant way, while some use a mask bowl set to whip the cleanser into foam.

Okay, I find all this extremely time consuming and not to mention tedious. It’s fun to do it once but everyday? Nah. This lazy bump opted for an easy way. Introducing SENKA’s newest member in the Perfect series – the SENKA Speedy Perfect Whip.

Now that we are done with our happy dance, let me tell you more about this new product from SENKA 🙂

Nuxe Review: Skin Care Skin Care - Anti-Ageing

Review: Nuxe Nuxellence® Jeunesse Youth and Radiance Revealing Fluid, Re-charging Skin for Youthful and Radiance All In One Bottle

For the first second time in my life I’m pleasantly happy that my skin is in it’s bestest state ever. I still get breakout before menses but just one or two pimples. I think I can roughly pin point the products that contributed to my current skin but let me do a second trial run before I reveal to you :D. All I need to do now is (1) to maintain this skin as long as I can and (2) to further enhance the skin with radiance and youthfulness.

Having a good skin doesn’t mean you’ve hit the top mark in healthy skin. What’s the point in having a good skin that is dull and flat at the same time, right? I realized that I have a dull skin mainly because I didn’t implement any whitening or brightening skin care into my beauty regime at the moment. It’s about time that Nuxe Nuxellence® Jeunesse Youth and Radiance Revealing Fluid arrived at my front door 😀

Nuxe Nuxellence Jeunesse Youth and Radiance Revealing Fluid 1
This product was created and born after several years of research by NUXE laboratory where scientists identified three flower extracts that is able to repair Mitochondrial DNA. It is the 1st ever youth and radiance revealing fluid in the market to lastingly recharge skin with youth and radiance for all ages and women. I spoke briefly before that it is important that the skin is able to reset all cell counters to ZERO in order to boost the youthfulness process in epidermis. This process is call “recharging”. NUXE believes and sees the importance of cell recharging in order for the cells to function properly and to produce essential elements to the skin such as collagen, elastin, GAGs and many more.

Ciracle Review: Skin Care Skin Care - Pores Concern

Review: Ciracle Pore Control Blackhead Off Sheet, A Simpler Solution to Blackheads, Whiteheads and Sebum-Free Face

Have you ever been in the situation where your friend, who have the perfect skin tells you that her pores are large and full with blackheads and sebum? And you are literally staring closely at her nose and inner cheeks trying to find a single bit of evidence that they suffer from large pores and blackheads? Well, I’ve been in that odd situation countless times. My reaction would always be “you have large pores? Have you ever seen mine?” 😀

My solution to removing these stubborn blackheads from my nose before using Ciracle Pore Control Blackhead Off Sheet is by using peel-off egg white pore pack. For face is just normal scrubbing and deep cleansing mask, praying hard that blackheads and whiteheads will be reduced and gone after a period of time. However I still prefer Ciracle Pore Control Blackhead Off Sheet for the hassle-free and effective result.

Ciracle Pore Control Blackhead Off Sheet 1
Ciracle Pore Control Blackhead Off Sheet is a gentle remover sheet that removes blackheads, even whiteheads and excess sebum from the pore minus the unnecessary irritation. These sheets contain essence that are made from a special formula that helps to soften the skin and pull away any dirt from the surface of the skin and out from the pores.
