Gamila Secret Review: Skin Care Skin Care - Cleansing Bar

Review: Gamila Secret Original Cleansing Bar

In the desperate need to find something that can soothe my break out skin condition and to lighten some of the acne marks, I stumbled upon Gamila Secret Cleansing Bar which is also known as “magic bar”. I think most of you had read before that I’m not confident without my powder on. Whenever I was invited to a makeover session I cringe a bit thinking how ugly my face would be to the makeup artist. You see… I have acne marks from teenager time. No one in my family know or taught me anything about not picking your pimples, don’t touch your face, don’t do this and don’t do that. Those days there were no internet to google. Wow. I sounded old lol. What I meant by “those day” is the 90s.

What do I know about Gamila Secret from Mr. Google is that many international celebrities all over the world like Madonna, Rihanna, Justin Timberlake, Lynn Harless, Japanese Top Model; Lena and Taiwan Skin Care Expert; Niu Er love it and adores it.

Gamila Secret is made with a unique mixture of herb extracts natural oils and extra-virgin Syrian olive oil, which has excellent anti-oxidant potency and contains a combination of fifteen different plants. A combination that I have developed through hard work. One day, an Israeli reporter heard about the excellent feedback and wrote an article about my first skin care product; soap. The article was titled “Grandma’s Magical Soap”. It sparked an awareness of my soap around the world. I am very blessed to continue my work with my children and grandchildren, sharing my heritage of knowledge of and passion for nature with Gamila Secret. – Gamila Hiar; Founder of Gamila Secret

Review: Skin Care Sampar Skin Care - Hydrating

Review: Sampar Ultra-Hydrating Fluid

I have another Sampar review for you today. Just a easy peasy one on a Monday morning. The product that I’m gonna talk about today is Ultra-Hydrating Fluid which is also a hydrating moisturizer in short.

I’m pretty sure by now everyone is very conscious with a proper hydrated face and implementing the right moisturizer into our skin care regime. I used to think that I don’t need any moisturizer as I have oily skin. It turns out I’m not oily skin but I’m more to combination skin type and although my face is oily at some times I do get skin flakes / peeling. Then only I found out my skin is actually dehydrated! How is it possible that my skin is dehydrated when it’s secreting oil at the same time? Well the explanation to that is pretty simple. The water and oil level must be the same beneath our skin. Once the water level drop the senses in our skin tells the oil gland to produce more oil to keep the skin moisturize. Thus the oily face. If our skin is properly moisturized you’d notice the changes in the skin’s oil secretion.

Now I don’t have skin flakes / peeling. I make sure I keep my skin hydrated at all times. That’s why I can tell you I’m obsessed with the word “hydrating” and I never ran out of hydrating product as I stock them up more than any other skin care. So when I was given a 15ml of  Sampar Ultra-Hydrating Fluid I go “ahhhh another hydrating moisturizer yay!”.


The actual size of this is actually 50ml which comes with a more luxurious bottle and pump. Nonetheless my trial size / miniature (not sample) is cute and comes with a pump too.

Review: The Multi-Task Clarins Beauty Flash Balm

I said I’ll be back with Clarins review and here I am!

This is a pending review that I’ve always wanted to blog about but slipped my mind because I don’t use it everyday. I’m not supposed to use it everyday. To explain that further, be prepared to get confused like I did when I first googled for reviews on this product.


Clarins has been undergoing logo and packaging revamp since last year. Slowly range by range changed packaging and to my delight Beauty Flash Balm is one of it. Previous tube is short and fat while new tube is tall and slim. There is no changes with the ml just in case you’re wondering. It’s still same ol 50ml.

Talika Lipocils Expert 28-Days Challenge – Day #21

This would be the second last week of the challenge. I’m amazed with the result!

Here’s Day #21 result. Even from the side it’s pretty obvious. Just compare with side picture from Day #14 here.


The real WOW is actually the full view of my lashes. I’m including picture from Day Zero which is the before for comparison.


If you look carefully at both of my eyes, you can see it’s much more longer. Take the double eyelid line as measurement base. And of course it’s fuller, darker and lots of baby lashes is growing out :). Its much more obvious on my right eye since it’s more sparse.

Stay tune for the last week of the challenge photo.

Review: Skin Care Skin Care - Eye Care Talika Talika Lipocils Expert 28-Days Challenge

Talika Lipocils Expert 28-Days Challenge – Day #14

After Day #7, I realized I should be skipping mascara to let the essence works better so moving towards Day #14 I wasn’t wearing any mascara at all. The result? Pretty amazing if you ask me.

From the side view. I can see it’s longer and curlier.


I’m very happy when I see my right lashes are much more longer and fuller thus looking darker. More new grown lashes are visible too. It’s very fine therefore I couldn’t capture most of it in this photo. Although the arrangement of the lashes is still pretty messy lol!

I’ve attached previous photos below as comparison.

Same as before, no lash fall out no matter how hard I rub my eyes. Kids at home…remember…it’s not recommend to rub your eyes kay?
