Review : The Face Shop Arsainte Eco-Therapy Crystal Water Super Gel

I never raved on a moisturizer so much..

Until I stumbled upon this superb gel..

Main Ingredient

1. 100% organic water from north pole

2. Contained phyto-Hyaluronic Acid (from plant, so all vegans out there, no worries!!)

3. Xylitol from sugarcane (the lovely cooling feeling)

This lovely moisturizer has 7-free system!

1. Paraben Free (usually used as preservatives)

2. Benzophenol Free (Color preservative)

3. Animal origin free 

4. Mineral oil free

5. Triethanolamine free (emulsifier, surfactant)

6. Sulphate free

7. Artificial colorant free

So, with this 7-free system, this moisturizer will prevent our skin from becoming more sensitive..

Retail Price : RM89.90 for 100ml

How to use

After toner and serum, massage the gel in outward motions

The Texture

Translucent pale blue in color and gel texture

Thumbs Up!

1. So cooling and soothing upon application. So good especially for those who has been exposed to sun. It will calm the tingling feeling. Really, I've been there.

2. Since it is an oil-free moisturizer, this can help to tighten pores..

3. Has water capsule system, which means that it can hold our face moisture.

4. The smell is soothing and refreshing

5. Easily absorb. Around 1 minute then my face feels soft to the touch. 

6. My skin feels hydrate and has a boing-boing effect >__<

7. Worth every ringgit. Trust me, usually moisturizers come in 50 ml for a similar price. I've checked!

Bonus Point

1. 4 month ago, I accidentally spilled hot water on my hands. It was so scalding hot, I just don't know what to do. Last time I've put on toothpaste, it did nothing to sooth my scalds. So I've gambled by massaging my Super Gel onto my scalds and it DOES soothed my painful scalds. And within a few hours, the scalds DID NOT swelled up. Now, there is no burnt mark on my hand. It is a good aid.

2. Everytime I've decided to do a skin suicide (eg: trying on new disastrous skincare), this gel always help my skin to revert back into its original condition.

Thumbs Down

1.It does contained alcohol. :(
2. Not oil-controlling 

Repurchasing

Oh my god! I've raving about it. DEFINITELY repurchasing it again

So for those who has dehydrated oily skin, this is the one for you. Try it. And you will love it. :)

Review: The Skin Food Argan Oil Hair Silk Mask

My hair is course, thick, extremely dry and brittle at the end but oilier at the scalp area..

Due to frequent rebonding (I get my hair straight once a year)..

Please..if you have unruly thick hair like me (even woke up to a lion hair in the morning), you'll too straighten your hair..

And for some time, I quite neglected my hair until it become extremely damage with massive frizzies..

None of the affordable hair treatments (pardon me but I can't afford expensive ones at the moment) do wonders to my hair..

The I came across The Skin Food Argan Oil Hair Silk Mask..

It's a single pack convinient hair mask that offer 2-stage care...

It claims to tranform dry, brittle hair into calm, soft tresses..

Main Ingredient

Argan Oil- Rich in essential fatty acids, vitamins E which are great in keeping moisture

Credit: timbuktuchronicles.blogspot.com

Retail Price: RM16.90

"Quite affordable for special ocassion"

How To Use

1. After shampoo, patt off excess water from hair and massage the treatment through hair without touching the scalp

2. Wear the essence cap, massage hair lightly and wait 10 mins

3. Rinse off the treatment and shampoo your hair again

The hair treatment

The hair treatment is pale pink gel-like in texture but creamy to the touch. The amount provided is generous.. Enough to cover my whole thick tresses and I'm very happy about it. Upon application, I can feel the treatment sort of melted into my hair.

The paper haircap is wetted with essence and is quite fragile. I already torn the cap quite at few places (clumsy me..hehe)..

A few minutes after putting on my cap, I use my hairdryer for 2 mins to quickly warm my hair as heat help the treatment to be absorb into hair.

Thumbs Up

I used this hair mask trice (once a week) before I finally writing down my opinions on it

1. The amount is generous! Enough to cover my hair which is long and thick

2. Affordable

3. Most inportantly, THE RESULT... My hair does feels like a silk after washing. Even after 3 days, my hair still soft to the touch (I can't keep my hands off them..teehee).. My hair is much more managable now with less frizzies (which less looking like a lioness).. I even dared myself to go out to work right after my hair wash. Usually, my hair will look like a dried broom when air-dry. So I seldom wash my hair in the morning. I wash them at night. And tadaa! Lesser looking like a broom and more like actually hair.

Thumbs Down

1. The smell..It was quite overpowering to me..But since I'm not holding my breath while applying it, I'll tolerate with it. :)

Repurchasing

100% will buy it again. Go ahead! Try it. :)

Review: The Skin Food Chlorella Nose Clear Patch

It was something I had to buy in order to earn The Skin Food stamps..

*RM20, get 1 stamp*

Since it was sell in individual packet, I thought "heck! Why not?" and I grabbed 5 of them

I can always do with extra nose packs since I have severe whiteheads scattered around my nose..

After two weeks of not using the nose pack in order to test out the Chlorella Nose Pack just to see and test the effectivity..

My whiteheads are too much, they become visible to naked eyes from far and some of them started poking out already *erlack!*

Sorry guys, I did tried my best to capture my whiteheads in action but this is the best I can get. I'm only using my Sony Ericsson Vivaz camera.. I'm not in the position to buy a very quality camera..yet.

Main Ingredient

Chlorella produced by Daesang co.ltd..

*The chlorella that I'm familiar is usually has anti-oxidant effect, skin restructuring etc*

Now what the hecks it is doing in a nose pack?

Never mind..

Since there is no ingredient list, there is nothing I can do..

The name is already misleading me. I though it was a CLEAR/transparent nose patch. After looking at the horrid green patch, I've realized the meaning of 'clear' on the packet is to clear off the blackheads and whiteheads.

Retail price: RM2.70

How To Use

1. Cleanse and tone your face

2. Wet your nose area

3. Slap the patch onto your nose *be careful not to wet the patch..dried your hands first before applying the patch*

4. Camwhore for 10-15 mins..*muahaha*

The Result

It should be called Chlorella Nose "You're Fooled..hahaha" Clear Patch instead.. >________<

It does almost nothing to remove my whiteheads..let alone the stubborn blackheads..Grrrr..

Mind you, I haven't removed my black&whiteheads for two weeks.

Trust me, they're camping there, really really cosy, on my nose..

pfffttt!!!

Repurchasing

I think I had myself really CLEAR in the result section. ABSOLUTELY NO REPURCHASING...Thank God it's only RM2.70. Even Biore did a BETTER job than this and I hate Biore.. And to think I have 4 more of this 'unCLEAR' patches in my stashes. T__T

Review: The Face Shop Face It Extreme Bold Pen Liner

As an eyeliner junkie, I've always fond of discovering new eyeliners. From pencil to pen to liquid eyeliner...

But since I've found out that I have oily eyelids, I had stopped buying pencil eyeliner (yes, even the waterproof range does not have the waterproof effect on my eyes, they melted within a few hours, making me look like a panda.. @__@)

So I was intrigued when i saw this eyeliner..

They claimed that it can produce cat-like effect..

Can be use both as thin and thick liner..

Retail Price: RM54.90

It looks like a permanent marker pen. >__<

Feels like I'm holding a marker pen but with sharp edge of course..

1. I drew using the fine end tip

2. Using the broader side of the liner

3. Drawing using the broader part first then flicking at the end using the fine tip.

1. I drew my eyes in thick/bold line

2. Finer line using the tip

Thumbs Up

1. For a pen eyeliner, it has the blackest black. Which I like in my eyeliner. Usual pen liner has grayish black color.

2. The solid tip make it very easy for me to draw the liners

3. Easier to draw the flick end. I don't have to "draft"it first.

4. Can be removed easily

Thumbs Down

1. Quite pricey. Unless during sales period.

2. Have to overlay several times to get the desired intensity as this liner is easily affected if there is a layer of eyeshadows. Have to wipe the shadows off the liner first before proceeding.

3. The mother of 'my' thumbs down, it does not last. Within a few hours, the flicked end melted away and after 1/2 day, the color started to fade. But thankfully when it faded, it just faded, it didn't leave a streak. And of course it stayed 3-4 hours longer than pencil eyeliner.

Repurchasing

For me, no..I'll stick to liquid eyeliner.

Recommendation

1. For pen liner users

2. Those who doesn't know how to use liquid eyeliner but favor a liquid eyeliner effect, this is for you
3. For those who has normal eyelids (meaning non-oily laa..haha)

Unboxing: After School 1st Album New Schoolgirl

Since I love to babble so much, I've decided to split my intros accordingly before it looks like a 350 words essay needs to be submitted to your English teacher  -_-""

Intro 1 : It is kind of  hard to find people doing their review/unboxing the album through pictures. Most of them used videos. Yes, video is easier, but being at my place where your company blocks Youtube and you yourself sucks at making video, picture reviews are the most welcome ^^. So I've decided to join the small bandwagon of people who did their reviews using pictures. It was a lame excuse to avoid doing video review… Hahaha.. I can’t help it.. I’m awkward..but adorable (and deluded too >_<)

Intro 2: I considered this album rare because it was so hard to find it. Most the blog shops I've visited (and trusted) are no longer selling this album.

Album : After School 1^st Album – New Schoolgirl

Weight: ~200g

Description

1. Around 18 pages of colored photobook front to back

2. No photocard and poster

3. Price: RM39.90 (from Speedy Video)

4.Importantly, this album is Korean Version.

The Size

Hooo yeah.. The size of the album is quite mind-boggling.. It was skimpy that I thought this album is a Malaysia version. But no, that is the real deal. 

Thickness: ~0.6cm

Length: ~20cm

Width: ~16cm

The Inside

The Photobook

Some of it..Not all

I was breathing hard and super excited when I saw this album hiding in a small little corner in Speedy Video.Being a Playgirlz, it was like finding a chest full with treasures!! And the price is cheaper.. See, happiness doubles up!! I was ‘goat smiling’ a.k.a senyum kambing when the album is finally mine and I earned ‘tsk tsk tsk’ and a headshake from my colleague.. Hahaha.. Duhhh~ You’ll never understand..

So now I wonder, if I really submit this to an English teacher, will I get an A?? O_o…Ok fine forget it..

                        

Review: Nu'est Action

I'm always left behind at doing music video reviews..

Not to mention a noob as well >__<

Like I used to quote in my FB account...

"First After School's comeback, then Super junior..now Nu'est"

I haven't have time for my heart to be at peace and calm..

Always hyperventilate at each comeback.

*oh my poor heart*

Not to mention daydreaming in front the laptop while repetitively watching the MVs..

A friend of mine have reviewed it here..

I'm not taking shortcut or being lazy here..

But she nailed it very well..

I might looks like a loser in compare with her review..

So I focus on what I do best..Guys Watching..

Hahahaha...

Like Vee stated, the comeback is decent. No extravagance promotion whatsoever..

The MV is also typical but overload with HOTNESS and SEXINESS!!!

I experienced goosebumps watching my younger guys *lame-o lame-o* in action..

I gulped several times *non pervert please*

The choreography is impressive!! Very syncronized..

The song is an earwax candy..:P

Love it the moment I listen to it!

See-through top..me likey!

Sadly, but it is a truth, my white tiger Baekho is kind of outshined by other members *in my eyes ok since he is my main bias*..But he still looks sexy in a see-through net-like white top @__@ *pervert noona??*

In this video, my eyes is kinda glued at Minhyun..His vocal in this song is amazing and much better than in Face. In this video, his mysterious, cold and sexy auras/charms are double up.. *hanyan* *pervert noona again*

Aron..He is handsome as always..Alright. But I like him better without his hair extension. Then again, it might be his real hair..they just cut it..Just like in the top picture. He looks sinfully good looking here..pewwwitt! *oh hi vee* *guilty guilty* hahaha..

Oh? Whatcha looking at love?? I'm just tying you for while... *saiko noona fan*

JR..JR..JR..always and forever blessed with killer looks and killer gaze. I don't mind tying him with those wires..hahahaha *perverting again..;p* He keeps stealing my heart.. *give it back!!* His haircut here suits him very well..Unlike the wavy one back in Face.

Hello girls! I'm prettier than you guys!

Ren..I feels like hating him for being too pretty and prettier than real girls. But I can't..I can't hate Nu'est.. *melodramatic??* He looks amazing, cool, chick and like a diva here. I even like his outfit.

The downside is, the dupstep is weird. I almost cringing hearing it..

And oh! Nu'est wins this polls!! Congratulation my boys!!!

Sophiavee@tumbler

Why I'm super excited about this?? Last time I've checked (which was yesterday) Nu'est was left behind by Exo by 2000++ votes..

The power of L.O.^.E *ok I don't really know how to this symbol..somebody teach me please!*

Review: Super Junior - Sexy, Free and Single

My Sungmin is getting beefy..yum yum..*eh macam coklat dah pulak*

I've been very busy with my work and researches..

I barely have time to sleep..

Let alone sitting down and write on my blog..

Mianhamnida..

Butttttttt..I still have times to ogles the gorgeousness of God's creation which is THE HANDSOME YUMMY MAN..hahaha...

*go away thesis!pffftt*

*oh..hi Prof.. >__<*

This anticipated MV have been released a few days ago, I HAVE time to watch, but time to blog..hihihi..

The opening already captured my heart, eyes, soul and everything I have!!

Then the selection of eye candies making my heart jumping and thumping hard!!

*Mendebarkan hati!!!*

Yes, the video is in similar concept with previous videos but the members never failed to capture my heart since two years ago..

They keep stealing my heart..and other fan's hearts..

*They should be caught!!*

But the song, first time listening to it, I already loooooove it soo much and keep replaying both song and video EVERY SINGLE DAY..

My favourite part of the video??

The catwalk part.. Siwon, Donghae, Sungmin *kyaaaa!* and Kyuhyun really nail it! They look like real international runaway models..

Mendebarkan hati...Melemahkan jantung!! @__@

And, I almost forgot about Kangin until I saw him doing his part..Teehee..Sorry..

It is a truly Sexy, free and single!!

Go and watch it yourself..

I'm going to watch the video and die again..

Owh...here's another honest review here..

A totally opposite one from mine..

Worth reading..

Super Junior 6th Jib: LeeTeuk, Ryeowook, Yesung and Shindong Teasers

This comeback starts to overwhelms me!!

With these mind-boggling-slash-amazing teasers..

I can't contained my excitement anymore..

Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!

*ehem*

Let's get back to business..

The teasers keep coming in pair

First the Eunhae runaway bride-70s-feminine teasers

Now let us see leader Leeteuk and Ryeowook teasers

Our leader

Ryeowook

Seriously, our loveable boys look like they're performing live modern arts. It's yes Ryeowook (no problem recognizing him) but I have troubles believing this is LeeTeuk...donning a leaf-motif headgear and over-usage of kohl and beads (I believe it is so), I keep blinking and staring to make sure my eyes were not playing tricks on me.. It is indeed our leader..Spasm!!!

Yesung and Shindong

Yesung

Shindong

Again! I had troubles recognizing Yesung. He looks so young and innocent..Ok not so innocent since he 'mischievously' wears twigs on his head and unbutton his shirts..Tsk tsk tsk! Making us the fans having pervy thoughts.. ;p

And Shindong looks like he's just been taken out from the fridge and put in the middle of photoshoot..Muahahaha..

No wonder these teasers were released simultaneously..

It's because they're bringing similar concept..

Nature..(I guess)

Ok ok..the original concept is sexy, free and single..

But I don't feel any of it for these four men teasers..

I feels like they're performing a live nature modern art..

It is just my opinion.. :)



After School(애프터스쿨) - Flashback MV Review (with lots of sexy word in it)

Is out!! The MV is out!!

Thank God..

Now I'll pray for world peace.. 

Here's what I think about it..

This is my last minute update..

I might be a bit blur on giving the right description and words..

But I MUST, i repeat, I MUST blog about this!!

Kyaaaaaaa...

The Music

Like a friend of mine stated, it's not a love at first hearing (eh, betul ke??)..

I even need sometimes to adjust my ears to this song.

It's an acquired taste..

But it is not a bad song..It's just a normal song..

You can read her opinion piece on this song.

After School FLASHBACK First Impression

She nailed it better.

I don't know how to properly describe a song..

Lots of things to learn..

It's not really the greatest song of AS.

The Music Video

Now here's the upside of everything. The MV is balancing back (no no, make it overbalancing) the songs. Making it such a one superb comeback..

This MV is everything like I have imagined! It is dark and very sexy.

And oh my! That sure one hell powerful dance..and sexy.. (Did I just mention sexy again??)..

But I'm not really sure about the gun scene either..

But Jooyeon certainly looks convincingly full of vengeance with her gun on that guy's head..

Every single one of them is gorgeous and sexy (there you go, sexy again)..

Sex Goddesses..

I can't really determined who is the most pretty..

Ok I lied..Of course it's my Jungah-eonni..

I can't peeled my eyes of her..

I'm officially a part-time lesbian..

I never thought I would go crazily ga ga over girls..

Only AS have that effects on me..

*Damn you PLEDIS!!*

And, I still feels heavy in the heart realizing Kahi is no longer part of AS..

Live long AS!

Review: The Skin Food Choco Smoky Eyebrow Jam No 2

It's 2am and I'm still wide awake and hyperactive with no sign of sleepiness at all...Darn!!

So I've decided to do a review on a piece of my favorite make-up item that I've keep putting off..

This is my first time trimming my thick and unruly eyebrows... So common sense dictates that once you've trimmed your eyebrows, of course you will start using eyebrows pencil/pallet etc right??

I've tried so many items from pencil, to automatic eyebrows to pallet...

Non of them seem to stay on my brows since I have oily skin..

They will eventually fade away...

Until I stumbled upon The Skin Food eyebrow jam..

One of the new-released Chocolate range (me thinks O_o)

So here is the verdict~

Price

RM31.80 or RM31.90?? Ok I forgot..But it's within that range.. RM31++

Kinda pricey but given the elixir inside it..It was worth it..

And I took No 2, the lighter color so I won't look like a failed evil stepmother O_o

Features

1. Jam/gelatin-like texture

2. The brush is attached to the cover

No 2

Before applying eyebrow jam

After application

Thumbs Up

1. Long-lasting (yeay!).. Until night when I have to remove my make-up

2. Neaten my thick & messy eyebrows. 

3. Great for novice (like me!)

4. The color is not to dark or to light.. Very natural..

Thumbs Down

1. The price (haha?)

2. A word of warning though, after application, it will harden a bit. Just imagine applying hair gel onto your hair. The exact feeling..But I don't mind a lil' bit at all..

3.Maybe not for those who have thin/very little eyebrow.

Repurchasing

No doubt I will repurchase it again. This eyebrow jam belongs in my precious make-up box where the items inside the box are A-MUST-BRING-EVERYWHERE-AND-I-DON'T-CARE-WHEN-MY-PARTNER-SHAKES-HIS-HEAD

And my recent haul at The Skin Food Mahkota Cheras..

They are always generous with the samples..

And I will try to review all items one by one..

Stay tune..

Thanks for the great service Skin Food...

And thanks to the cash source..daddy..Muah!
