VICTIMIZED BY LOCAL PRODUCTS :(

"Natural ingredients from bla bla bla", this line trapped me. All those positive feedback and testimony makes me believe that 'Oh, it works!' but the truth is wayyyy beyond that. The special review from the local public figures works all the time! When she told everyone that she's the co-founder of this product, I quickly did my online research and get in touch with the dealers. I bought the product with a hope that my skin will get better.

The first 3 months was okay. However, I know that something is wrong with this product but I can simplify make my own assumption without discovering the truth until one day, I compared the DC product with the TT product and guess what, it's almost the same! The creamy texture, the smell, and not to forget the super popular turmeric cream, well let just say that they might be the long lost twins.

:(

The nightmare begins when I stopped using the product. Big acne appeared, here and there. Countless small acne and I can feel that my skin layer has become so thin. What is happening here? I asked my self. I am a person who will try my best to overcome and get rid of any crisis no matter what happen and fighting the after effects of the local products is part of it.

Up until now, I saw few insta-famous review and share their positive feedback towards the products. All that I can say is, at the end of the day, the products will SWALLOW your skin and makes your face looks wayyyy brighter than your hands. This remind me of Terlajak Laris advertisement, "MUKA PUTIH, TANGAN HITAM", no offense guys.

So yeah, be careful guys. Most of the local products are repackaging / rebranding product. They changed the name, the brand, but trust me the ingredients are still the same. Maybe, there are some of the local products that use organic ingredients and actually good for you but not these two : DC & TT.

Be careful guys!

FAVOURITE LIP CREAM!

Guys, I found my favourite lip cream and I'm gonna share it with you today!

This is not a paid review so you don't have to worry on that. Haha. 

So back to the lip cream, you know how much I loveeeeeee loveeeeeee loveeeeeee makeup. 

I love everything that related to makeup, eyeshadow, lipstick, mascara, makeup tools, all of them! 

NYX is one of the best makeup brands. The price is reasonable, students love it! Money can be the main problem when it comes to makeup stuff but thanks to NYX, their super affordable makeup stuff makes the impossible, possible. Nyx Soft Matte Lip Cream is my no 1 addiction. This is a 'must have' item guys! Seriously. If you are not familiar with Nyx products, you can always google it online. Nyx products are everywhere! You can buy it at any Nyx Outlet, yes, they have outlets too. You can buy it at Sephora or through online store such as hermo, lazada, and many more.

Available in various colours. What I love about this lip cream is the texture. The lip cream come in standard doe foot applicators and apply almost juicy at first, before drying down matte after 5 to 10 minutes.

Look at those colours guys. It is not a water proof product but based on my experiment, the lip cream can last for several hours (without eating) but who cares, you can always reapply it righttttt?

Since I have a dry lips and it can be sensitive to certain products, I guess this lip cream is perfect for almost everyone. I usually apply a lip balm before the lip cream. I will do a part 2 post on this so stay tuned.

GOOD FOUNDATION FOR ACNE / SENSITIVE SKIN

Finding a suitable foundation for acne prone/sensitive skin wasn't easy. Girllll, I feel you! I know how it feels when you went to Sephora and you can't decide on which foundation to buy as your skin need extra care and it is totally different from the normal skin type. If you refer to my previous post, you'll know that I have a very sensitive skin. I had bad acne before and I must be extra careful of any products that I'm gonna apply on my skin.

I did lot's of online research and I have tried various products. However, these two foundations are my favourite. It works on my skin and I really hope that these foundations works well on your skin too. 

The first foundation is the MAKEUP FOREVER ULTRA HD FOUNDATION

Product Description 

"Created for the very latest high-definition technologies of the film and TV industry, ULTRA HD advanced formulas look invisible on 4K camera and to the naked eye. Perfect for the makeup pros and for you.

ULTRA HD foundation feels like a second skin, but still provides medium coverage, and the light-diffusing formula looks natural and makes skin look flawless and feel moisturized. Exclusive 4K Complex guarantees invisible, natural and comfortable makeup. The fluid texture blends in seamlessly and conceals imperfections to unify the skin’s texture. Great for all skin types, and  features a full-range of shades to cover all skintones"

- What I like about this foundation is it is very light to my skin and it makes my skin glowing too. I usually use beauty blender to apply the foundation. It is not sticky at all. The coverage is quite medium but I usually use concealer to seal the imperfections. Yes, my skin look flawless and it feels great too! The liquid texture is very light so you might need to use extra liquid for your skin. Available in various shades, mine is Y245.

 Where I bought mine? -  Sephora IOI City Mall Putrajaya (but you can buy this through Sephora or Make Up Forever website)

Price : RM 199.90

The next foundation is BOURJOIS HEALTHY MIX FOUNDATION

Product Description 

"Anti fatigue & radiance reveal foundation. With its vitamin mix, it instantly erases signs of fatigue for a flawless, fresh and healthy looking complexion. With Vitamin C, E & B5."

- Wow! This foundation is a 'treatment foundation' as it comes with various benefits and vitamins. I must say that this is the best invention for those who had acne/sensitive skin. I use this almost everyday and it didn't cause any major breakouts. This is a must try item girl! This foundation is way cheap than the Make Up Forever fyi!

GOOD CONCEALER FOR ACNE SKIN

I have a very sensitive skin. My skin was fine until I reached 16 years old. Small pimples started to appeared. From the small one to a BIG one! I had to live with a 'chronic' acne skin until the age of 17. I was so stress back then because my skin was flawless before so people started to talk about it and the worst part was when people came to me and asked this killer question "What happened to your face?" Gosh. I rather run instead of telling them the same reason over and over again. My acne was caused by a imbalanced hormonal problems. Sudden acne appeared, extra oily skin, these caused by the imbalanced hormone. 

So my skin started to get better by the age of eraly 20's. Acne rarely appeared and the only thing stuck on my face is the scar. Removing acne scar require maximum level of patience, it is a hardwork in other words. Things were good until I have started to work at my previous company. Dealing with high level of stress makes my skin really bad and Alhamdulillah, I have moved to another company. No more overworks and stress. It's all calm and life is better. Haha. I took some supplements, drink lots of plain water and try to control my negative emotions. InsyaAllah, I'll be better soon but yes, no more big acne, only acne scar and I am still in the process of removing it.

Moving on to the topic, as I still have few acne scars left on my face I cannot leave without applying the concealer. I usually use it almost everyday to cover the scar. As for the foundation, I only use it during special occasions. I have been looking for the perfect concealer for the past few years and luckily I found 1 drugstore brand that reallyf it my skin, it's Maybelline! I use the Pure Concealer Mineral (Healthy Natural Concealer) in the shades of 01/02. You can find this product in Watsons, Guardian, and other local mall. It's everywhere guys! The price is around RM21.05 but this is a very popular and high demand product so sometimes it is hard for me to find my shade and I have to wait them to restock it again. I usually bought 2/3 concealer once in case I am running out of it. 

This concealer doesn't cause any breakout and it is perfect for my skin. The coverage is quite medium so you need to apply it several times on the acne scars area. However, it is very light to the skin and it looks like a real skin layer. Yes it is! This can cover the normal acne scar, not the rolling or boxscar acne scar. So, if you are looking for a daily concealer, I would recommend this as I use it almost everyday! This is how it looks like.

HAIL TO THE QUEEN B!

Today's post could be a random post but I think this can be relate to several people.

This is my 4th blog guys! I have created few blogs before but you know, in life, we usually get through several phases and there was a time when I felt like, I am too busy to write and sometimes I felt like there's too many bloggers out there so no one will read my post. Well, as I grow up, I realized that it is vital for you to DO WHAT YOU LIKE and to FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS. I cleared all those thought and I choose what I like.InsyaAllah, I'll be sharing more post in future.

So back to the topic, after my parents moved to another state, I had to rent a house and live ALONE. 

Well, I am not a 'brave' type. Living alone makes me feel creepy for no reason. I've started to imagine ghost and all those supernatural things. Urgh! Then I decided to buy a kitten. I went through social media and luckily, I found a guy who wanted to sell a cute lil black kitten. It is a semi-flat-face Persian kitten. Guess what, I felt a special connection when I saw her photos and I said YES straight away eventhough the price is a bit expensive. 

Since I am one of the Gossip Girl TV Series big fans and I really like Blair's character, I gave my kitten a super long name, she is Blair Cornelia Waldorf. I like cat but I didn't really think that this small creature can change human's life well, yes, that's what happened. My cat changed my life! I didn't realize just how much 'cat parenting' would transform my life. I have started to act like a 'mother'. Yes and I call my self mummy when I'm with her. Well, that is soooo not me but yes, that's what happened. 

Blair was born on July 2016, I bought her when she was 3 only 3 months. From a cute lil kitten to a young adult kitten. She grew up so fast! Those lil paw became big and for your info guys, I think she's pregnant now. Am I about to become a Nanny? Haha! Back to Blair's story, she changed my daily routine. I have to ensure that both food and drinks bowl filled with water and kibbles. Not just that I rush home to see her and play with her, I didn't really care about my self. All I care is cuddling her as much as I can. Not just that I created an instagram account for her, yeah you can look for @flufflyblair instagram to see her latest update and photo. 

Let me show you how she looks like.

Kulit Berjerawat, Parut Jerawat & Kulit Sensitif

Hola darlings,

Ingat tak lagi pada previous post I? I ada cerita tentang produk yang I guna iaitu TATI Skincare.(Click here) . I terima macam-macam 'feedback' & pertanyaan mengenai Tati Skincare, maaf kalau ada beberapa comment yang I tak sempat nak balas sebab jarang update blog 😅

Untuk pengetahuan semua, I dah tak guna TATI Skincare & Deeja Cosmetic. Sebab apa? Hmm sebab kedua-duda produk ni lebih kurang sama, dan kedua-duanya dah tak berkesan pada wajah I. Tapi selepas I berhenti menggunakan kedua-dua produk ni, jerawat besar naik di muka I. I pun tak tahu nak buat apa, it happened within few weeks so I have decided to do some research on other products. I dah tak nak guna local products sebab I risau kalau product tu sebenarnya produk 'rebrand'/timbang.

I found Clinelle and I have used this longggg time ago, waktu zaman belajar dulu. Tapi disebabkan masa zaman student dulu I tak berapa ada duit jadi I tukar pencuci muka yang lebih murah dan terus lupakan Clinelle.

Disebablan kulit I ni jenis kulit yang sensitif dan berjerawat, jadi I pilih 'anti-blemish' set. You can refer to below photos for product details. Set ni I beli berasingan but I forgot the price. Youols boleh visit website Clinelle untuk dapatkan details harga.

1. Facial Wash (Pencuci Muka)

Review : Rasa fresh dan kulit rasa ringan selepas I bersihkan muka dengan facial wash. Kulit muka rasa bersih sangat! Major love!


2. Toner (Penyegar)

Review : Nak apply toner ni senang saja, ada 2 cara. Pertama, spray pada cotton pad dan terus apply pada muka, yang kedua, spray saja terus ke muka dan ratakan dengan menggunakan tangan yang bersih. Kulit rasa fresh, yang paling I suka, tak rasa oily langsung muka selepas pakai toner. Yeay!


3. Moisturizer (Pelembap)

Review : Wajib pakai moisturizer selepas youols bersihkan muka sebab moisturizer ni dapat membantu mengekalkan kelembapan kulit. I pakai sikit je moisturizer, sebelum apply makeup atau sebelum tidur but WAJIB PAKAI okay.


4. Scrub (Skrub)

Review : Scrub ni youls kena pakai twice a week (2 kali seminggu). Cara I pakai scrub senang je, mula-mula I cuci muka dengna facial wash kemudian, I apply scrub ni. Ada molecule kecil dalam scrub ni so molecule tu yang akan membantu membuang kulit-kulit mati pada wajah kita.

So yes, these are the products that I use currently. Setakat ni produk ni menunjukkan tanda-tanda yang sangat memberangsangkan. It works well on my skin! Rasa best je bila apply pada wajah. I akan update youols dengan my latest skin condition so stay tuned!
