Kosmetika Indonesia

I went to Mydin at Jalan Masjid India on Monday  to buy some stuff. I bought Jamu from Mustika Ratu, the one for women and beauty , and Ayu Singset Jamu for the face and fitness. Then the Temulawak Vitamin C , night cream, Temulawak face wash and toner and Sari Ayu pimple mask.  Now I have many creams  , I do not know which one to use. I wanted to find  a Jamu for pimples but it was not available. The Rojer one from Puteri Binary that is  , I found one at a kiosk nearby  . A small packet.
Then I went to KLCC . I thought of eating alone but I was lazy to do so. I think I have warts on my face. I asked  two pharmacists at different places but they said that  I have to see a doctor. I have used apple cider on my face and put a band aid on it  .It worked but it left a scar. I have another one  right now , on the side of my nose. I have used honey and then clear nail polish.
At KLCC , I went to Harrods to gaze around and look for Cafe Vienna.   I also looked at  the Maybelline Two In One silky face powder .It was on sale for RM 23 ++ . It is used after you use their BB cream .  Yesterday I bought the face powder.  I tried the temulawak cream with the face powder ,it works well but perhaps I need to use a concealer.
Next on my list , is a nice eye liner from Japan at Watson's. For the egyptian look . It looks good. Yesterday Nas and her children came , they are off to Dubai . Last week when Sadd is here , we had nice dinner from D'Tandoor and then  at Silver Pot , the Chinese Muslim steam boat restaurant in Taman Tun.

Temulawak Pearl Nutrition Cream

I have always passed this cream whenever I go to a  Mydin store. So one of  these days I was searching for a cream  to eradicate pimple marks or scars. I am using Fair & Lovely Anti Marks cream , not that this cream is not good but  well why not try  some other  cream. At first I bought a temulawak cream near  the apartment  but it is not the same one. There area many products from this range including cosmetics.
I wanted the one with dark green casing. Temulawak  or Curcuma xanthorrhiza L is wild ginger. It is found in many herbal jamu from Indonesia. This particular cream is from Indonesia. I am no stranger to Indonesia skin care products. I have read many good  reviews about this product . The first product is not the same , so I bought one from a website called Kedai herba .com. The price is RM 5.90 with shipping it is RM 11.90. There are other websites selling this product but you can also  find it at any Jamu shop. Make sure it is the original one  many readers said. The next  night  my sister  Nas  and her children came . Then as always my parents went to Best Western for the night . I tagged along . We had a nice buffet dinner at Zende . Courtesy of Yati he he he . After that we went to The Mall  across the road . I bought another Temulawak cream for RM 5 .00 at a Jamu store at the lower ground with a  Mustika Ratu  Jamu for women.  I have been using the cream for two nights . It is pale yellow in colour and it will take a long time to finish. You can order the Temulawak cream at http://www.kedaiherba.com/01/produk?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=343&category_id=27&keyword=temulawak

Madu Kausar

My mother was given a bottle of  honey from Iran called Madu Khaula which is popular . I thought of another brand called Madu Kausar which is  also from Iran. I have always wanted to buy  this honey , but I did not really search for it. I thought of going to KL to purchase the honey. There are three types of honey with comb and without. I bought the green one for energy and beauty.What else. I have stopped using the honey and yolk mixture for some time and now is the time to make a  small jar  I also would like to buy the red one apparently for insomnia and for ladies . I called the person from the Madu2u website and a few days later the stockist for the area send a bottle of honey to the house. The price of the 910g green honey is RM 50 with comb it is RM 55.
Since my mother is still house bound , she told my cousin who came to visit  that the doctors told her not to take any more  supplements. No more selling she said. I feel sad that my mother who was very active had to stay in bed  and is frail .  She is very conscious of health and bought many  cooking utensils for health and always advised us to take all sorts supplements before any major illness sets in but you never knew when age creeps in .. So to take or not to take , now my sisters are warning me not to be adventurous in taking any supplements be it for health or beauty. So here is to honey ...
