While I am still on the face mist kick, I better start talking to you about every face mist I have. Among all of the face mist I own, I am more excited with this one. The Estée Lauder Micro Essence Aquaceutical Mist was sent to me by surprise a few months ago. Why am I excited about this one you asked? First of all, when I received it I am not aware that they came out with a face mist version of the Micro Essence! I thought they sent me another Micro Essence lotion but in a small bottle. Estée Lauder like to secretly launch new product lol. Then this is a face mist. I LOVE FACE MIST. And it’s Estée Lauder, a brand which I spent quite a lot of money on when I started my skincare journey besides Clarins.
Micro Essence is a lotion that works so well with Advanced Night Repair (ANR) where it “carries along” ANR with it, penetrating deeply into the skin surface. If ANR alone is superb for your skin, pairing it with Micro Essence is even better. So what is this Micro Essence Aquaceutical Mist and what it does? Same as the lotion version, this mist is actually an essence-in-mist that reactivate the skin’s youthful and gives the skin an angelic glow. It has concentration of exclusive Micro-Nutrient Bio-Ferment and Climate Conditioning Complex to get the skin adapt to resist the dehydrating effects of changing micro-climates.
It was definitely an overwhelming morning at the Safilo Group Fall/Winter 2016 preview day whereas I get the opportunity to view all the brand’s new collection. Among the brands I get to see, touch and try are Dior, Dior Homme, Fendi, BOSS, Kate Spade, Jimmy Choo, Marc Jacobs, Givency, just to name a few and many more. Just in case you are wondering who is Safilo. Safilo is a fully integrated Italian eyewear creator and worldwide distributor. So the collection preview day is the perfect day to view all of the brand’s new and upcoming collection.
More and more brands are venturing into exclusive partnership with bloggers or vloggers and often enough, we almost never get to see or have these collaboration here in Malaysia. They just never reach us here. These collaboration also shows that brands are recognizing the hard work that was put into by bloggers and the impact bloggers could make. Inspiring. That is all I could think of when I was at Neal’s Yard Remedies Deliciously Ella Rose, Lime & Cucumber skincare range launch last week. Oh hey! Finally a blogger collaboration that we could actually get our hands on 😉
Neal’s Yard Remedies or NYR in short, is an organic, natural skin and body care brand. It only make sense to partner up with Ella Woodward, the blogger behind award-winning food blog DeliciouslyElla.com. Ella, who is well-known for her wellness lifestyle, even wrote a book aptly named Deliciously Ella. She also recently opened her own cafe, The Mae Deli in London. What drew NRY to Ella was that she inspired millions of people to adopt a healthier way of life through her approach to food and her plant-based recipes. It all started when she was diagnosed with Postural Tachycardia Syndrome (PoTS), a rare illness that even conventional medicine failed to help. She stop taking meat, gluten, dairy, sugar and all process food, to which she see an incredible results. Hence, Deliciously Ella was born 😀
Neal’s Yard Remedies Deliciously Ella Rose, Lime & Cucumber skincare range consists of two products. Simple and yet good enough for the skin.
Deliciously Ella Rose, Lime & Cucumber Facial Wash (RM119 / 100ml)
Just as every NYR products, Deliciously Ella Rose, Lime & Cucumber Facial Wash also formulated with natural and organic ingredients of the highest quality.

Roughly about 2 weeks ago, for the first time in my life I had allergy attack on my lips. Yeap. My lips. It is not as sexy as Angelina Jolie as my friends said it is. It is so swollen, dry, tight and awfully painful. I quicky found out that the cause to the allergy attack was the Pearl Drops Professional Intensive White Toothpolish. Who would have thought! Toothpaste causing allergy. I do know I am allergic to some whitening products. But toothpaste? This is the first time. Two days after the allergy attack, I flew to Singapore. I grab none of my beauty products but two lip saviour. They are Clarins Instant Light Lip Comfort Oil and this Lip Pure Lip Balm. The lip oil from Clarins works for my dry lips but later on I kinda got tired with the stickiness. Thank goodness I grabbed the Lip Pure Lip Balm along. Initially I have no intention in cracking into another lip balm to use but because of my lip allergy and how it saved my lips from the pain, I have to come in here and tell you about it.
Lip Pure Lip Balm is formulated with food grade ingredients, 5 types of essential oils, 3 types of honey extracts and plant extracts. Phew! That is as natural as you can get for a lip balm. The concoction of 5 natural essential oils such as Argan Oil, Marula Oil, Sweet Almond Oil, Shea Butter and Avocado Oil are the main saviour to my lips. They product the best (in my experience and opinion) moisturizing and nourishing benefits. This Lip Pure Lip Balm reminds me a lot of the previous Orange version, which I reviewed here before. The previous one has a hint of Orange scent to it and this new one is scentless. I have to mention that the old one melts in my hot room. This one? I have it in my room for near to 3 weeks now and it is still like new 😀
Lip balm can be a little daunting in a sense that some leaves a white mark on the lip surface, some dries the lip even more, some causes the skin to peel off and so on. I am happy to report that this new Lip Pure Lip Balm does none of that crap. It has anti-aging properties as well thanks to natural plant ingredients namely Meadow-foam Seed Oil, Jojoba Oil and Rosemary Leaf Extract.
I was relying a lot on Clarins lip oil as the gooeyness of the product sort of soothe the pain my lips. After a few days, I got tired of it. I was desperate for something moisturizing and light. I have 11 brand new unopened lip balm and I finally decided to open this up to use mainly because this is unscented, colour-free and I remember how good Lip Pure was in terms of moisturizing. Anything with heavy scent and colour will send a sharp pain to my lips. Now I am glad I have this, which I do not know what to do with it last time lol.
Lip Pure Lip Balm is available at all leading pharmacies and major supermarket outlets nationwide.
Price: RM17.90 for 4g
