In My Bag : A 3-Day Trip to Kuala Lumpur

Assalamualaikum pretty ladies!

I've mentioned before that I have actually went to a surprise holiday trip to KL, it was unplanned and it wasn't something that I was ready for. LOL. But anyways, since it was just for 3 days, I didn't bother to bring a lot with me. I didn't even bring my brushes.

On the skincare side, I basically brought the necessities, here it is:

- Pantene's Anti Dandruff Shampoo

- Clear Contact Lens Solution

- Rosken Bio Serum

- Lipice Lipbalm

- Follow Me's Facial Cleanser

- Lady Speedstick

- Essence's Refreshing Toner

- Sunscreen

- Fair & Lovely Multivitamin Cream AND OXY 10 Medication (in a contact lens case)

Also, for my makeup, I just brought my favorite concealer by The Faceshop (it was depotted onto a pink jar), a lip tint, tinted lipbalm, two liquid liners, Essence's Long Lasting Pencil in Brown, Cyber Color's Eyebrow Crayon and Silkygirl's mascara.

I didn't bother to bring BB Creams or foundation because let's face it, I'm more interested in shopping than making myself look pretty at that time, so I just appy Clean & Clear's SPF Moisturizer and apply concealer to where it needs to be applied, use the lip tints, apply eyeliners and mascara, then I'm done, I didn't even bother to bring eyeshadows because I know for a fact that I will definitely buy some while I'm in KL!

Beauty Bought : My first trip to KL

Assalamualaikum pretty ladies!

I had a surprise getaway with my family to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia for just a few days at the end of May. I think I went crazy with spending all my money on the trip. I had fun, I will post up a more detailed blogpost on my next post.

Anyways, I've actually missed out a few things on my haul post, where I've actually bought a few blouses, maxi skirts, hijabs and a messenger bag. I'm not sure if my readers are particularly interested in what my fashion sense is, I could tell you now that it's very simple.

While I was in KL, I stayed at Cititel Hotel at Midvalley, the Midvalley Mall itself is very busy mall, I can tell you now that I've actually haven't gone through the mall thoroughly, everytime I went down to the mall, I will still end up be surprised of finding a few stores that I'd like to explore.

I am currently on a quest to find the perfect nail polish for me to wear when I'm on my "holidays", I was so happy to see SASA, Inglot, MAC, Bobbi Brown, Shu Eumera(sp?), Clinique! It was makeup heaven, I tell you!

I've also encountered Daiso, I know Daiso is somewhat a cheap store, I didn't expect all the stuff in the store to be RM5 each! I've made quite a few nasty purchases. I bought those pink pliers and I don't even know what to use it for! LOL! But I guess it would come in handy in the future. I also made a few purchase on the makeups there but I wasn't sure about the quality, so I didn't buy a lot, I wanted to buy some for a swap that I'm currently collecting for, but I was afraid of the quality of the product would do me no good. 

I've also bought a cheap Android tablet somewhere in the Lowyat area for the purpose of developing our Android app for our Final Year Project and bought two books at MPH Bookstore that would help me, InshaAllah to get through the project. I think I'd make a review on the Android tablet itself!

In terms of makeup, I was glad that I didn't do much damage, I bought a palette from Elianto on which I will review it soon! I might make a few FOTDs out of it. I also purchased a foundation from Rimmel and I think I regret buying it because it is 3 shades darker and it is quite on the warm side. But anyways, reviews will be up soon.

I also went to Sephora but I just bought a few NYX stuff as when I went to the Benefit's stand, I was unimpressed with all their stuffs there. And the fact that they are very expensive that I didn't go for their products, maybe next time!

Make-up Review : Catrice's Defining Blush in Love & Peach

Assalamualaikum pretty ladies!

I've always been intrigued by Catrice, I have to admit that I still haven't start to actually really explore the brand despite the affordable price that Paloma sets for it. I  haven't tried their retractable pencils yet, though I'm not sure if they do have it though.

Since I'm lacking a nice collection of blush, I decided to purchase this blush in shade Love & Peach. Although I haven't tried out many blush, I think I'm more suitable to cooler-toned blushes as it gives a nice glow impact on the whole.

This is a peachy coral blush. I really love coral blushes, well, I only have one before this but I like how it looks like on my skin, so I definitely would buy more shades on the coral side..

I like the texture of this blush, very soft and not so chalky. However, the color is beautiful but it is very subtle, I guess less pigmented I would say. But I think it's okay because it won't get you into trouble as you can build up the color up until your heart's desire. But it's too bad that it doesn't last long, around 5-6 hours it would fade. I think I'd prefer my Silkygirl's blush more than this, but I just can't get my head around buying a blush from that brand as it's just too expensive for the amount of product it gives.

Although I was a little disappointed with this blush, but I still love how it looks on me. I'd definitely buy more in other shades.

FOTD : What I wore to school

Assalamualaikum pretty ladies!

Back with not just one, but two FOTDs for you pretty ladies. I'm a bit lazy when it comes to taking pictures of myself and post FOTDs into my Instagram or anything. I'm not sure about my OOTDs though, not sure if anyone is interested in my OOTDs but if you girls do, just comment below, I'll see what I can do.

Anyways, picture above, I actually made this look when I reached into my class/lab, so I was bare-faced when I was going into the school compound, LOL! Anyways, it's a soft smokey blue look, but you can't really see the blue as it is soft. I was going to go for bare-faced the whole day but my skin decided to not be ready for the whole thing.

A my face but better look? I made an effort to make a natural no-makeup makeup look here but I think I wasn't bothered to be all soft smokey-ed. So I just used one eyeshadow.

Believe it or not, I wear makeup in school and most of my schoolmates never really notice it until they see me bare-faced. So anyways, a question for all you Bruneians who wears clear contact lenses. Can you tell me what brand you're using? And where do you buy it, locally? I love this brand that I simply can't live without, UNFORTUNATELY, I have to go to a neighboring country to actually buy these cheapo but VERY COMFORTABLE clear contact lenses. Color contact lenses are not an option because I don't want to pull much more attention to myself. 

Make-up Review: Catrice Liquid Eye Liner Pen in Black Green

Assalamualaikum pretty ladies!

Another venture into a pen-type liquid liner, I wasn’t planning to actually buy any liners from Catrice, but it was cheap and it was green, I never encountered a green liquid eyeliner, I am for a fact searching for a green gel eyeliner or a pink one (which I will buy from Holika Holika, LOL!) There’s also a blue liquid eyeliner, I’m not really interested in blue, I think I’m on a “sick of blue” phase.

Getting on the review, I love that this colour is for a fact, GREEN! The packaging isn’t so flimsy, the felt-tip isn’t so flimsy, they do bend but it doesn’t bother the way you apply it, you can still get a flick to make a perfect cat-eye line (one I can never seem to master).

At first, I was a little disappointed because it was just black when I swatched it on my hand AFTER I bought it, because there wasn’t any testers, so I had to blindly purchase it. But after using it a few times, or mad swatches on my hand, the green starts to show up. It doesn’t smudge or budge even after extensive rubbing, but it’s non-waterproof, though with that property, it seems to stain my skin a little bit, so I do have to wash a little bit more thoroughly.

It’s like a forest-green green and it’s such a nice colour, though I’d wish it’s more pigmented because when going about, no one is going to notice your green eyeliner unless they look at it closely, but so far, it does make my brown eyes more “popping” LOL!

A repurchase? Maybe

Make-up Review : Catrice Liquid Lip Tint in Are You Red-y

Assalamualaikum pretty ladies!

I’m back with a review of my first ever Catrice product! I’m late to the party as most of my beauty blogger friends have already tried out a few Catrice products. But no worries, this one of the many reviews to come! *insert evil laugh here*

So anyways, I’ve actually come to like to use a photo collage to do my reviews, so expect a few of this later on! LOL :p

Anyways, I was looking around the Catrice stand and yes, I’m a big fan of lip tints as I find them easier to use than lipsticks and they last longer. I never tried any Western lip tints as all of mine are from Korean brands such as Tonymoly, Holika Holika and Missha. I might try out tints from Etude House as they actually have purple lip tint.

This lip tint is actually somewhat weird than any other Korean-branded tints I’ve tried, it has a watery sticky texture that when applied, might take a long time to set on your lip unless you sheer it out. I love the color on me, it’s almost like a bright berry red on me. I even wore it to school as I just love to wear a bright lip color on me while having a very toned-down eye look.

One other thing is that, I really love how it tasted, it’s sweet and I have to add a slick of lipgloss so I could stop myself from licking it. So this actually prolongs the wearing time of this tint, or else, by at least 2 hours the tint will fade.

Though I like this tint, I would never repurchase this again, but I do like to buy the other color which is a bright orange-y red.

Make-up Review : Cyber Colors BB Cream in Royal Caviar

Assalamualaikum pretty ladies!

Another review from Cyber Colors and this time it's the Royal Caviar version. I pretty much hardly know any difference between the BB Creams except for their long-lasting properties as this BB Cream is more moisturizing than the Peony Deep Moist. So it really gets me shiny after just a few hours.

What I like about these Cyber Colors BB Cream is that they are easy to blend and I found that this BB Cream is much darker than the other two, so I didn't need to mix a large amount of my darker foundation to create a perfect match for my skin.

As per the other BB Cream, this actually also gives me an illusion of a flawless skin, it does give quite a glow since this is very moisturizing, but definitely the less favorite of all three. One other thing is that, this has a very pungent smell to it, it's not nice but as you applied it the smell does subside. 

Sample Review : The Faceshop's Hydro Splash BB Cream

Assalamualaikum pretty ladies!

A sample review from The Faceshop's BB Cream sample. I was a little worried to try this out as Hydro Splash means that it might be moisturizing or a little too moisturizing, but I decided to go ahead and wear this out after a few weeks that this sample has been in my stash.

I am very surprised that the sample is very generous as I've actually managed to use up about 8 applications from this. At first I was glad that the color of this BB Cream is very dark, I might finally found a BB Cream that suits my skintone, but too bad, the color is actually lighter than light as I proceed to blend this into my skin, which blends nicely.

It settles into my skin nicely with a light to medium coverage, it also reduces the appearance of my pores and fine line. Which is actually a big bonus. Would I ever buy the full-size version? Maybe, as much as this BB Cream impresses me, it doesn't give me a very good impression that I would run out to buy this and I do have a lot more BB Creams to go through.

Make-up Review : Cyber Colors BB Cream in Peony Deep Moist

Assalamualaikum pretty ladies!

The review on this BB Cream should have been done long time ago, but never got around to do it. I bought this when I was in Miri, at Sasa's outlet at Parkson Mall, I bought it in a sample set of three 10ml BB Cream, for RM30+ I guess it's very affordable for 3 samples as Skin79's BB Cream 8ml sample alone can cost around B$8.

This one is in Peony Deep Moist, I never actually see these in their full-size version in Sasa or I wasn't looking at the stands carefully, but nevermind, I'd go there again and check the next time I'm there for a visit. Cyber Colors are actually from Korea but I hardly see a lot of reviews about their BB Creams.

Anyways, like any Asian BB Creams, they will NEVER EVER suit my skintone, but these actually have light to medium coverage, I'm never fussy about the coverage, never really need a foundation/BB Cream with full coverage as long as the coverage fades the obvious appearance of my dark acne scars.

It does give me a white cast as most BB Cream does, but that can be solved by mixing it with a darker foundation. Although I noticed that this BB Cream actually gives an illusion of a flawless skin even though my acne scars are peeking through, I think it has some sort of illuminating properties for giving this flawless illusions. 

This last me well up to 4-5 hours before it gets shiny on my nose, so retouching is needed. I'm pretty impressed with this BB Cream.

A repurchase? Maybe if I can actually find the full size of this product.

Skincare Review : Baviphat Indi Girl Tea Tree Catch Oil

Assalamualaikum pretty ladies!

I've had this long in my draft unattended, so while I'm busy doing my assignments and I'm having my off day today, so I might as well just update this and review this oil for you ladies.

So my skin is very prone to acne, and when I say acne, it's not those barely there spots, it's definitely those acnes where you can pop it to excrete those yellow icky pus. And I'm one of those gals who likes to pop pimples, LOL! So basically I'm not helping my skin at all, letting them be inflamed and produces those dark scars along the way. I'm currently on a skincare routine that helps eliminate these acne scars, so far so good. 

Back to this oil, I've been trying to find tea tree oil in Brunei, let's face it, it wasn't easy, although I know there's a Tea Tree Oil product at Bodyshop but I somehow never bought anything from there, except to repurchase my favorite EDP there.

The Baviphat Tea Tree Oil was on offer, I can't remember the price but it was less than $5 where as the usual price was around the $15 mark, so it was a very nice bargain at that time. It contains about 20ml worth of product, it smells like tea tree oil, I pretty much prefer them to have a dropper as it is easier than this, but this stops from spilling any wastage, so all is not lost.

I don't need to swatch it as it is just basically oil. When apply to my blemishes, it has this cooling effect, but if I do have an open wound, it would sting as how spirits does to any wounds, so I assume that they do contain some kind of alcohol at some point. 

The effect they have on pimples can be seen in a matter of 2 days, it's nice but I don't think I'll be repurchasing this as I really need something that can instantly deflate any pimples so I can actually stop myself from popping it on my free time. 

Skincare Review : Nexcare Acne Patch

Assalamualaikum pretty ladies!

Today is my birthday and I've reached 22! Not a big milestone for me, celebration was at the minimum, as I had 2 tests to study and 2 tutorials to finish up on that day. So, it wasn't a big deal for me and I actually, for a moment, forgot about my birthday. LOL!

I will try to remember and add in my a few pictures of my tiny birthday celebration later on. Now, we're going to review this baby. I think I've delayed the review for this particular product for more than a year already, talking about procrastinating, huh?

I've used this a lot of times and believe me when I say I purchased this more than 10 times already and that's how much I love it and how effective it is for my acne-prone skin.

Basically it's just stickers with two sizes and what it basically does is that it absorbs those white disgusting pus that comes from pimples and I usually do this to my bigger zits as to my smaller zits that could be called as spots can be removed by exfoliating.

Technically, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, it really depends on how big is your pore is at the current pimple spots. Sometimes it doesn't really work on my forehead as I can safely assume that my pores on my T-Zone isn't that big as this is more effective absorbing the pus and thus reducing the pimple size around my cheek areas. Although if I popped JUST A LITTLE BIT of my pimples on my forehead and put this onto it, it really is effective and by the next morning, the swelling will reduce itself.

It takes about literally a day and a half to actually really get rid of pimples. What I like about this acne stickers is that it creates a nice barrier so you won't be tempted to disturb your acne spots.

I've already repurchased this and I'm planning to buy the ones that has less than 15 pieces to be put into my first-aid mini bag.

Make-up Review : Etude House LUCIDarling Fantastic Gradation Eyeshadow Palette in Nymph Brown Aura

Assalamualaikum pretty ladies!

I have an eyeshadow palette to review for you girls, I received this from a good friend of mine as a birthday present last year, I love it to bits! I never really try out the make-up line from Etude House as it never really attracts me to try or maybe I'm just biased. Although, I think this is actually my first eyeshadow experience with Korean cosmetics as I'm not a big fan of their sheer pigmentation and overly shimmery shimmers.

But since this is a gift, at least I was able to experience using Korean-made eyeshadows. At first when I saw this palette, I never really know that these palettes exists, there's a few eyeshadow palettes from this range, some are lovely looking, but as soon as I went to the shop and checked out the tester, the colors weren't so pigmented as I wanted it to be.

So I had the Nymph Brown Aura, which is a weird name compared to the rest of the palettes. It house 2 matte and 2 shimmer eyeshadows. The brown are more on the taupe side, it felt a bit on the cool side as I somehow feel it doesn't suit me so much. I can pull it off but this is not the best neutral palette I've encountered.

But I really love how the eyeshadow on each pan looks like some sort of velvet cushion, it almost reminds me of Burberry's eyeshadows.

I would love for the brown/taupe shimmer to be a bit darker so that it can be the ultimate smokey eyeshadow palette, but yeah, this is what I get.

On an another note, the textures of these eyeshadows are amazingly creamy and they could actually last without a primer pretty well, although the colors won't be so pigmented unless you packed it in. Although the gold color has the smallest pan from the rest, I think the designer of this palette knows what they're doing as I'm not sure I'd be able to use it as often as I can.

I don't think I'll miss out a lot on these, but I'd love to try other eyeshadow palettes from other Korean brands.

Make-up Review : Essence Soft & Natural Make-up Long-lasting Foundation in 04 Light Caramel

Assalamualaikum pretty ladies!

Another review on Essence's stuff, I still haven't find myself getting on to Catrice yet, but I'll try to purchase something there next time. I'm eyeing on their photo-finish foundation, but I found that there was not much products left from the Catrice stand, hey, who's been over-shopping there? *insert angry face* LOL

So at first, I was planning to repurchase my 16hr Stay All Day foundation, but I decided to just purchase this one as the color is a little bit darker than the one I have. I need a darker color foundation to mix it with my BB Creams as I'm not a big fan of a white/grey cast on my made-up face.

A squeeze tube with a nice nozzle that controls the amount of product you're squeezing.

In the pictures, it does look a little bit on the lighter side, or maybe because my hands are actually a great match for the foundation, I've actually tried this out when I was watching a football match in the evening, I find it to actually be long-lasting, it didn't slide off or smudge me, not that I was sweating as it is a bit windy.

 

As for texture, this is almost watery and it easily blends into your skin without any problems, I usually use my stippling brush to apply it. This is a great affordable foundation, but the bad this is, it doesn't have SPF, I would've picked up another matching foundation if there were SPF. But I'd definitely repurchase this over and over again, to mix this with my BB Cream.

Make-up Review : Hare Magic Lipstick

 Assalamualaikum pretty ladies

I would first of all would love to thank my friend from Little Red Viola for giving me two of these lipsticks. This lipstick is actually very famous in Brunei and maybe, even in Malaysia. It is a lipstick that older generations loved to use as it is "magic"

There's not much to see from the packaging, it is flimsy and tacky, but I don't really care much about the packaging because I know the performance of this lipstick is beyond some of the lipsticks in my collection.

As you can see, the lipstick is green in color, okay, I wouldn't call this a lipstick actually, more like a lipstick stain.

For the first few seconds, the swatch is very much sheer but then as time goes on, the swatch turns into this hot berry pink that actually really depends on your natural lip color. This lipstick really stains for a few hours, it can even reach 12 hours and the pigment on your lips is still strong and bright.

The color is so suited for everyday's use or even for a nice evening date as I never really thought to touch it up except touching up with a lip gloss.

It's moisturizing and there's a little glossy effect, this have been my favorite after I received this from my friend and I really love this to bits and I'd definitely repurchase if only I can finish it up, LOL

Skincare Review : Smooth Egg Skin Charcoal Egg Soap

Assalamualaikum pretty ladies,

This is a backlog that I've been meaning to review this but I hardly use this for everyday use at that time but I'm currently using this everyday so, I think it's time for me to tell you girls on what I think about this product, this was a gift from a friend because this product did not work on her. At first, I thought this egg soap is for reducing blackheads, so I actually wanted to write off as a big NO to repurchase this but then I went to the packaging and it says for sebum control. 

So I had to test it out again for a few weeks with a different perspective, and here it is. 

It's very small, but don't let it get to you, I hardly made any changes to the size of the soap after a few months' of use, so this might be around $15+ but one egg soap lasts you a very long time.

What I like about this soap is that it doesn't give me any dry or tight-feeling on my skin, I still can feel that this soap did not strip my face of natural oils. As far as sebum control goes, I think it's safe to say that I actually apply a lot of product on my skin after washing my face so it does actually affect the way this soap performs, but I once was so tired and forgot to moisturize my face after washing it with this, after a few hours' nap, I found there's little oiliness on my T-zone and other parts of the face is still as fresh as it was a few hours's ago.

So this is a nice product to use, but I don't think I'd necessarily need it but I definitely would use these 2 soaps up.

Make-up Review : Holika Holika Silky Veil Primer

Assalamualaikum pretty ladies!

Finally, I've actually get my bum off of procrastinating and actually reviewing my holy grail primer! Well, that would be an overstatement, because I can't really afford to pay for this as my college budget, I think I will keep on looking for something better than this within my budget.

I've heard good reviews about Catrice's primer, so I might just purchase that as they are the budget-friendly cosmetic.

So anyways, this silicone gel primer, I'm not sure why it differs to some of my silicone gel primer, but somehow this is the best one I've encountered. I think Revlon's primer, although it's good, but it doesn't have  the performance that this does with my skin.

As per what silicone primer does, it minimizes your pore's visibility, giving a good smooth canvas for more makeup, although a con is that it doesn't even out your skintone but it does last a long time. This easily keeps my makeup fresh for 12 hours before it fades nicely.

So a really good primer in my point of view.

Do tell me what you use to prime your face before make-up

Skincare Review : Clariderm Astringent in #3

Assalamualaikum pretty ladies!

I've actually been using this for 2 months now, I've had it before a few years ago and I decided to stop using it as at that time I don't know all about skincare and I thought this product is way too harsh for my skin. But as time went on, my blemishes are becoming more and more prominent, I decided that  I should actually try this again so for B$1.95, I won't be missing a lot.

I bought the Oily-skin version, and it has the number 3, there's actually the Dry Skin version and Normal Skin version, but I think these are according to the strength of the astringent itself, but I'd definitely try out the Dry Skin version, for regular use because this version is a bit too strong for daily use.

The main ingredient of this astringent is Glycol Acid and Salicylic Acid, I was afraid of the fact that I had problems with Salicylic Acid, it would give me break outs, but fortunately, it didn't so I wonder why I cannot tolerate with Salicylic Acid products except this. I heard Glycol Acid is related to skin-peeling action and yes, it peels your outer skin.

Look, the before and after pictures, it's dirtier in real-life than in the picture but the first week I used this, the amount of dirt is even more in abundance as the color that I got after applying this all over my face (except for my undereyes) is pretty much greyish-black, and after weeks of using this, the color becomes less and less so I assume that this astringent is very deep-cleansing.

A week after using this, my skin was so dry that it peeled off and my current moisturizing routine at that time didn't work out for me as my routine was for light moisturizing and what I need was HEAVY moisturizing routine.

At first, I try to layer on my moisturizer, build it up to 3 layers, but it didn't work, I was using Essence's Pure Skin Moisturizer. Then, I tried Bio Oil, at first I was happy because with just a few drops, the Bio Oil really helped me moisturized my face completely, no dry patches, but what I hated was that it broke me out so I stopped using it after I purchased Simple's Moisturizer. Now, no pimples and my blemishes fade with the help of this astringent and the Fair and Lovely face cream.

I'd definitely repurchase this as I'm currently running out of this baby. Gonna buy the Dry Skin and Oily Skin versions.

Make-up Review : Sariayu Foundation in Kuning Langsat

Assalamualaikum pretty ladies!

I'm here with a budget brand from Sariayu, it's an Indonesian makeup brand, I've had this before a few years back, I love the scent and I love the finish on me, so I decided to repurchase it again and with the price B$2.50, it's hardly breaking the bank either.

I bought one in Kuning Langsat, I don't know what's Langsat in English but basically this foundation is actually a very yellow-tone foundation, I've actually forgotten how this foundation actually performed so when I bought this, I was afraid that it might be a little too light for me. But I'm afraid if I buy the Sawo Matang version, it would be a little too dark for me.

As you can see from the swatch, there's not much beige tone in it, it's very yellow all the way. I never really actually know what's my skintone is whether it's yellow-toned, neutral-toned or pink-toned. But I think I'm more of a neutral tone kinda gal, but who knows. LOL.

See, it seemed too light even on my hand as I'm trying to blend it out, it has a watery texture, also a cooling effect and it really blends easily with your fingers, so I hardly use a brush with this.

Well what do you know, it actually blends well with my hand even if my hand is darker than my face. I think this would actually match well with people with neutral-toned skins, not sure of yellow-tones though, but this foundation gives me a brighter and more awake look. It has a sheer coverage, which I don't really mind as although I have a lot of blemishes, I decided that for everyday use, I'd usually wear my concealers on my undereyes only, hardly ever on my blemishes except for when I have special occasions. I'm getting lazier, lol.

But anyways, I really love this foundation but this is great for dry to normal skin as I have oily skin, it only last around 3-4 hours on my T-Zone. So, I'm basically using this for quick errands.

Skincare Review : Fair & Lovely Advanced Multivitamin Face Cream

Assalamualaikum pretty ladies!

I've been battling and trying to diminish whatever lefts from my acne scars after months of breaking out and popping them out and yes, not advisable to do that but I just can't manage to stop myself. So I've been sticking to a routine that would be able to help and reduce the visibility of my acne scars, so far it has worked slowly but then, I'm thinking of buying this certain product which I will post on my Want-it Wishlist after I've finished up this cream.

This is actually an affordable budget brand that many Bruneians are familiar with but I never really see any reviews on any of its products.There was a few variants of the whitening/brightening cream, but my friend recommended this one as it works for her and she's someone who knows about beauty skincare products, so all her opinions are always being taken in consideration.

A squeeze tube with a nozzle which I found very practical as I want to savor this product so I can actually see any improvement on my skin.

It's fairly a white but white a pink tinge cream, and it does give a brightened look to your skin as you applied it, also it might be a little drying. At first, I'd usually use moisturizer and then apply this cream after, but I found it to be too heavy for my skin so I decided to actually mix it with my moisturizer. It works well as I don't have to layer it up.

It is also very mattifying, though I never really thought about the oil control so I won't go there. About this cream, it claims to be a solution expert for scarring, uneven skintone, dull skin, dark circle and face brightening.

Whenever I use my Clariderm (review coming up) there would be a lot of redness, especially around my acne scars, I'm sorry for not providing pictures as I can't seem to access my laptop's camera. So, after a while of using this, I can see that it reduces the redness around my acne scars and also helped reduce the visibility of my acne scars.

When I was on a holiday at Rizqun Hotel, I went swimming and of course wearing a hijab while swimming, so I got a tan around my face that are exposed. A tan usually resides after a few months, but as I'm using this, I see that there's no more tan line and also my face has actually brighten and I think my skintone is a little lighter now as I found that I've been using less amount of darker foundation mixed with my BB Cream and I finally matched-shade with my Essence Pure Skin moisturizer and the shade I have is for fair skins.

I'd definitely repurchase this to even out my skintone and help fade out my tans if I do ever get tanned.

What's your product to help you to fade blemishes and acne scars?

Skincare Review : Simple Kind to Skin Hydrating Light Moisturizer

Assalamualaikum pretty ladies!

So, I think I can find some time to update my blog today and I'll be reviewing my current savior for my on and off dry/scaly skin. The condition is always set off when I'm using my Clariderm, which you will find a review in just a few weeks as I'm still in a trial session.

Ever since I used Clariderm, my combination/oily skin has been drying up creating scaly skins and I've expected it to do that, because the Clariderm is a very strong peeling astringent, but I won't be explaining why I'm still using it, I will explain that in a separate post.

I bought this while I was in a trip in Miri, I've been hearing good stuff about Simple products so I've taken a stab on purchasing the Light moisturizer because I'm not sure if I want heavy moisturizer as I am a noob in skincare stuff, so I play it safe with this.

It's unscented, which just doesn't feel right with me as I don't really mind perfumed skincare, but well, I don't mind about it though.

The texture is very lightweight and I like the feeling of applying it on my face, it really feels refreshing and as if my skin was drinking up this moisturizer, almost like this is a thirst-quenching drink for my skin. It seems funny that I put it that way, but yeah, this is as close as I can to explain it. It really help moisturize my skin and my skin has less dry/scaly patches ever since I used this right after purchasing this. 

Will I repurchase? Yes.

What's your favorite moisturizer?
