Review: Neal’s Yard Remedies Purifying Palmarosa Essentials Kit

A few months ago I shared with you my first time experience with the brand Neal’s Yard Remedies which you can read from this link. There is one particular product that I couldn’t stop asking about which is the Purifying Palmarosa Mattifier. That product itself cost RM220 for a small 30ml! Yikes! I am not someone that will buy straight away without trying it out first. Good news for me, Neal’s Yard Remedies carries a few essentials kit including Purifying Palmarosa Essentials Kit. You’ve guessed it right. This kit contain a 10ml of Purifying Palmarosa Mattifier 😀

This review is going to be a quick one. But I promise you it’s a good one 😉

Review: Neesya 3-Step Routine To A Brighter & Clearer Skin + Giveaway

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. I am pretty excited about this one. Who doesn’t love a simple 3-step routine right? The different between both review is self explanatory. The one you are reading now focus on the basic 3-step skin care routine while the previous one focus on Neesya star products.

I know not many of you are into layering skin care like the Japanese or Korean. I am personally very much into skin care layering. If you are not, well good! Let me introduce you to a basic simple 3-Step Routine from Neesya.

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: Uriage Hyséac Gentle Cleansing Gel, The Closest Dupe To My Favorite Cleansing Gel

Rather than my usual 1,000 to 2,000 words review, I’m going to keep this post short. I have people telling me that my product reviews are too detail which I can’t help but to raise an eyebrow. Aren’t review suppose to be in detail? Would you prefer to read half way cause I hate reading a review that are incomplete with just a few pictures that I need to google for another review. Well anyway everyone review differently. Like it or not I like mine to be IN DETAIL lol 😀

Anyway back to the cleansing gel. How I discover this Uriage Hyséac Gentle Cleansing Gel was quite funny. I had this from MIVVA March 2013 edition which means I’ve been keeping it for a few months. I keep a few cleanser near the sink and a few more in the bathroom. One of the cleanser near the sink ran out so I took Uriage Hyséac Gentle Cleansing Gel out from the storage to use. After that I took a short nap. I woke up a few hours later with my eye still closed, walked to the sink to wash my face with Uriage Hyséac Gentle Cleansing Gel. At that time I have a tube of Clarins Purifying Cleansing Gel near the sink as my morning cleanser. Half way through the cleansing I stopped, open one eye to check if I got the right cleansing gel. It was Uriage one alright but how come it smells like Clarins? I stoned in front of the sink, with cleanser and hands on my face for a few minutes before I took another sniff of the cleanser. That is when I realized I found the exact dupe version of the now extinct Clarins Purifying Cleansing Gel. Well maybe not 100% but 98% 😀

Mekhala Review: Skin Care Skin Care - Cleanser

Review: Wholesome-ly Natural with Mekhala Tamarind Facial Cleanser

Not many people know this but I used to own a car forum (which the name I choose not to disclose) and the theme of the forum is hornet. I remembered I had headache thinking of an online name and I came up with QueenBee! Makes perfect sense…the forum theme is hornet and I’m the owner of the hive :). Throughout the years I collected numerous bee merchandize and recently I went through my stash for this review. I thought bee candle looked nicer than fresh tamarind heee!

Mekhala Singapore is kind enough to send me their Tamarind Facial Cleanser to try last week. I was pretty excited as I absolutely love skin care and cleanser is something I always stock up. There is a quest in me to discover and try as many cleanser as I can and that include brands that are not available here in Malaysia.

ABOUT MEKHALA

With burgeoning demand from the Retreat’s wealthy corporate clientele, the brand quickly grew into a range of spa essentials, food and home products.

Honey on the other hand lead it’s natural ability to attract and maintain moisture. It also contain mild natural acids that gently exfoliate dead cells for brighter complexion and Vitamin E so that the skin feels softer and more supple immediately after washing.

Review: Clarins Purifying Cleansing Gel With Hamamelis is the One Cleanser I Hope Clarins Bring Back

This is the last tube in my stash that I’ve been saving as it has been discontinued. I’ve taken a few picture of this last month so I thought I should revive the review.

One of my favourite cleansing gel is definitely the Clarins Purifying Cleansing Gel With Hamamelis from Truly Matte Set which I hauled in June 2011. This is not a full size product but it sure do look like a full size to me. A full size tube is 125ml retailing at RM92. This on the other hand is 75ml which makes it valued at RM55.20. Worthy!

Here is some info from Clarins Malaysia website.

Application:-
Work up a lather & smooth over face & neck. – Massage using light circular motions (avoiding eye area) or the Clarins Cleansing Method- by gently placing hands flat over the face. Briskly lift hands off the face, as if the skin was burning hot. Repeat this movement 5 to 6 times. – Rinse well with cool water in the morning & warm water at night, then apply Toning Lotion with Iris.

Active Ingredients:
Sebopur®: An exclusive combination of Hamamelis, Gaultheira, Vitamin B6 and Zinc, which purifies & balances sebum production. Codiavelane: Moisturizes the skin.


Simple, short and sweet instruction on the back of the tube. The tube is just like any ordinary cleanser or facial foam. Although the one I have is from a best buy set, however the cap is very very strong and sturdy which I appreciate it very much. The cap is secured with a shrink wrap which means it’s new, fresh and unopen. Another thing which I like from Clarins.

H2O+ Review: Skin Care Skin Care - Cleanser

Review: H2O+ Sea Results 3-in-1 Foaming Cleanser

It might not be a good idea to post up a review on this small lil can as the promo is no longer available sorry! But you can still get this maybe not this but full size and I’ll tell you where and how.

I happened to drop by Pavilion KL for lunch and as I was approaching my friend she is already being “sales talk” by H2O+ BA. I went over, my friend looked at me and said something to me which I can’t remember what, I asked the BA how much is it and the rest is history. H2O+ Sea Results 3-in-1 Foaming Cleanser 50ml that the BA was promoting is only RM15. I can do RM15 foaming cleanser. I love cleanser. It’s the fastest moving skin care in my regime. So I bought two can and my friend bought one can. Just so you’re wondering, the retail price according to the sticker on the can is RM33 and I’ve been asked so many times about this and the answer is NO IT’S NOT EXPIRED STOCK.
