Cosmoderm makeup remover

The reason I bought this makeup remover is that it  can   eliminate  oil seed.  I have one or two oil seeds  on my face.  I think this is important to consider  when you use  a vitamin E cream or oil . You have to moisten a cotton pad before you add the makeup remover. I bought this  remover when I went to Bangi Gateway.  Some selected  pharmacies  carry all Cosmoderm products .
At the moment ,  I don't really want to change skin care products  . I have enlarged pores , dents and fine lines. This has to change .  The price of  Cosmoderm makeup remover is  RM 16.90. To all my readers Happy New Year .

 

Simple Toner

 My mother is using a Simple  moisturizer . I bought their  toner because it has no alcohol. It is soothing yes but I prefer something much  stronger . I have nearly finished the 200 ml bottle . The product is okay . I need a stronger toner ,so I went back to the Aiken toner which has sallicylic acid  in it .  I bought another cosmoderm vitamin E cream . At the moment I have made another face oil. I have no breakouts so I am quite relieved . We are at the end of the year . We will celebrate Maulud Rasul in a few days . Insha Allah.

Simple products can easily be found at major pharmacies. The retail price is RM 17.90.

Olay Regenerist Revitalizing eye serum

A few months ago , I tried an eye exercise in order to eliminate the fine lines under my eyes. It was from the You Tube . After sometime there are more lines . I was quite disturbed. So I bought the Olay Regenerist eye serum  to help  . I have used this eye serum  for two months . The fine lines are not as apparent but are still there .  There are no new lines so I am quite happy . The lines have not been diminished. On the whole I am happy with this cream.   Olay products are  easily available nationwide .  The retail price of the eye cream is RM 54.90.

Nutox Anti Ageing cream

This another day cream from Nutox. This cream is called the Anti ageing cream. Since I have mature skin with fine lines , I decided to try this cream. I have lines between the eyes area. I was annoyed ,yes age is creeping in. like Nutox creams. They work. I always buy their products during sales. I am happy to find this cream. Now I am searching for products  to eliminate my under eye lines and the small scars on my face. The normal price of the Nutox Anti Ageing cream is RM 42.30  . Nutox products are available at major pharmacies in  Malaysia.

Botanical Societies Rosehip oil

My sister gave this rosehip oil when she came back from Canada. It is in a 59 ml glass bottle. This is a wonderful  rosehip oil . I don't know how much it costs . In Malaysia a 45 ml to 50 ml Rosehip oil would cost anywhere from RM 115 to RM 156. Let's forget about cost. I use the oil  on my face ,hands and arms. I have a lot of cuts and scrapes when Gebu my cat bit me. It has healed a lot of the scrapes. I still have half of the bottle. I have yet to try Argan oil again. I would buy Rosehip oil once I finished this one.

I celebrated my 50th birthday on Monday.  I am grateful to Allah who gave me a long life. There are many ups and downs. I hope to become a better person , a better Muslimah in days to come . InshaAllah.

So going back to my face. I have consumed a new tea to slim down. I have two spots on my face. My sister Yati and my brother Zahid are here to attend my cousin's wedding. Yesterday GG and Sadd came to the house . I made the lamb tomato while my mother made lamb curry.

Shiseido Black mask

This is one of the popular masks around. It has been around for about 3 years. This  mask is very good  to remove blackheads and as a nose strip. It is  a  black peel off  sticky mask that you can use on the face. I used it on the nose area. It is an effective mask to use whenever you have bumps on the nose. 

I have an ongoing pimple under my left eye. It was very large last week and it does not seem to subside. As it is only one ,I thought of buying some acne patches. The price of this mask is RM 1.00 to RM 3.00 depending on the sellers.  It is usually sold at Jamu shops or from online sellers.

Jothi Herbals Green peas powder

This is a mask I picked up when I went to New Malliga store  at Jalan Masjid India. It is a green peas and aloe vera  mask. Green pea  has a  high content of vitamin  A,C and B . Some of the benefits of this mask are  firming , lifting and generating  a natural healthy glow .

 The mask  has to be diluted in water  or for better results with cucumber juice, honey or  yogurt. This product is from Jothi  Herbals  in Singapore. I have used this mask only 3 times. Once with plain water and the other times with cucumber juice. The first time I used it , I have a pimple. The next time it wasn't so bad. You have to apply the mask  for ten minutes only  .  It is in a 125 grm jar.  It will keep until  3 years. So I have quite a  time to use it up  . The price of this mask is MR 6.90.

Nouvelles Visage Face Scrub

 

 

 

 

 

As my De Wajah face scrub has finished , I was in a hunt to buy their scrub. About a month ago , I asked my mother to go to Giant Kelana Jaya . I went to RY Saloon . I bought the Nouvelles Visage face scrub instead . It is in a 25 grm jar. The scrub has tiny beads . Nouvelles Visage is a local company which has been around for more than 20 years.  This is a famous brand.  Their products have some similarities  with De Wajah products. One of the  difference is their toners.  The scrub is good. I have a spot which disappeared when I used this scrub. At the moment   I have one spot on my face.  The price of this scrub is RM 30.00. If you are interested in Nouvelles Visage you can buy their products  here

Jamu Jelita Pearl White

Jamu Jelita Pearl white is a beauty drink.  It is in a powder form. I have consumed about five jars of this drink. It is in a 400 grm jar.  Some of the benefits  of this drink are   that it helps with pimples and pigmentation . It will dry pimples faster. It gives  one more energy and  it can  hydrate the face . Further more one is able  able to  attain  an ideal weight and  helps you to get a fairer face.
The taste is delicious. It reminds me of Ribena. This  drink is enriched with Astaxanthin and fruits such as Acerola , Cherry , Tomato and strawberry among others. I like to take this drink whenever I have pimples which would not subside easily.  This jar will last about 12 days, so two jars of this drink will get you by for  a month. You will take one tablespoon of the powder and add 150 ml water in a shaker provided . I usually take it first thing in the morning and before I  go to sleep.

The price of this drink is RM 36.90 .  You can get this drink at most Jamu shops or kiosks nationwide and online.

Camellia oil

I asked my sister to buy camellia oil for me.  Camellia oil or tea seed oil is used by Japanese women for their hair and skin. It is also known as Tsubaki .  Nas bought  the Camellia oil from  Kurobara. There are two camellia flowers on the yellow box. There is another camellia oil with one flower on the box . It is from Oshima. I have used this oil for my hair mostly. It does not have a strong aroma.  The bottle I have is 75 ml and the price is 1200 yen.
 I  like using oil on my face.  I think I will invest on some good essential oil in the near future .  However  I would get really bored as it will take quite some time to finish a 30 ml bottle of face oil. You  would have to fork out some money initially but  then you can save on the creams.

Danos Loose powder

I know about  Danos loose powder for about three years. This is a loose powder favoured by many make up artists in Malaysia. This product is from Thailand. It is waterproof. There are four colours to choose from. I bought no. 3.  It is a nice colour .  However it  depends on what kind of foundation you use. Sometimes the colour does not fall through .  The price of this powder  varies from one seller to the next. It will cost anywhere from RM 18 to RM 45.

Bifesta cleansing lotion sebum

 

 

 

 

Bifesta cleansing lotion is a makeup remover and cleanser . You don't have to wash your face again after removing the makeup. It is an a 300 ml plastic bottle. Bifesta is also produced by Mandom.  Mandom also produced the Pixy range and the Miyami two way compact powder.  I am satisfied with this cleanser. I chose the one with sebum because of my acne prone skin. It will last a  long  time . I would use this cleanser for light makeup and for those heavy makeup I use cleansing oil. Bifesta cleansing lotion  is available at major pharmacies nationwide. The price is RM 31.70.

Nars Sheer Glow Foundation



Nars sheer glow foundation was on my mind for quite some time  . After reading the  reviews and looking at the You tube videos, I was all set to buy this foundation. So on the second day of Eid , I went to Pavillion to buy this foundation.

The SA picked Syracuse for me. I thought it is quite dark for me.  When I went back , I looked tan .
When I used my Naturactor loose powder to set it , my face does not look too dark.  The foundation is lovely and it  glides beautifully.  I like this foundation and it did not disappoint me.  The shelf life is two years. So I have quite some time to play with it. The price of this foundation is RM 174.00.

Sheet Masks from Sasa

For  the most part of my adult life , when I started to use face masks, I always use the ones from the tubes. Or the ones  which I have to mix with water or other fluid . I followed my niece Maryam to Sasa one day.  She bought some sheet masks. So I bought some for myself.  There was a sale for sheet masks that day .
You can buy 10 masks for RM 20.00. Yipee !!! I bought most masks from Sasa brand the Sasatine and some masks from Korea.  My favourite masks are  the one with cucumber and the tighening one with rosehip oil  . The masks lasted more than one month.    Most of the masks are  priced at RM 4.90. Yet I still liked the ones I used before  . It lasted longer. 

Guerlain Rouge Automatique in 122

 

 

When my parents went to Mecca, I asked my mother to buy a Guerlain lipstick .Not that it is not available in Malaysia. I wanted the colour 125 but it is not available. I love the red colour . I think Guerlain makes the best lipstick. I got the colour 121 which is not as deep as 122 Liu.  The colour is more raspberry than deep red. But I  like  it.  I have one pimple and it is receding.  My gripe now is the small scars and large pores.  I don't know what to do at the moment. My sister Nas has gone back to Riyadh last Sunday. All of us sent her . My brother Mal will go back to Madinah this coming Monday.  The price of the Rouge Automatique lipstick is RM 119 at KLIA airport and it is RM 126 at Sephora .

Maybelline Colour Tattoo Gel Cream eye shadow in Gold Rush

I like gold . So this time around I tried Maybelline's  gel cream eye  shadow in Gold Rush. I use my fingers to apply this eye shadow. It is a nice bright  gold colour . Perhaps I should get a shadow base. The colour stays on. It is easy to apply this eyeshadow.   The colour is  metallic  with bits of gold flakes.  It reminds me  of disco makeup.  There are other colours available.  There is a nice green colour .

Maybelline has come out with their own nude eye shadow palette . Maybelline products are easily  available nationwide . The normal price  of this eye shadow is RM 21.05. Since there is sales at the moment you can get  a better deal.

Nutox skincare

I have not been loyal to most skincare products. Most of the time I would use the products for six months and after that I would try another one. This time I chose Nutox. Nutox is range from Tohtonku company in Japan.  Their ambassadress  is the lovely Fazura. I bought most of the products in a span of one month starting with the cleanser and the moisturizer for oily skin.  After that I bought the toner, serum and night cream. I have replenished the day moisturizer and serum. My favourite product from this range is their serum. It is gel like and it helps with my skin.   I do have breakouts using these products. The cleanser does not help with  breakouts.  However it helps with eradicating the spots left .  After using Nutox for nearly two months , my skin looks smooth and the blemishes have faded.

Since I have pimples , I bought De Herbs Madu Propolis soap. This one helps in getting rid of all the pimples. So far I like Nutox products. Their products can stretch up  to  two months . I always buy these products during sales.  As for the serum they have two sizes of 30 ml and 45 ml.  The Nutox serum is Halal if you are interested. The price of the products are  here

 I bought Sendayu Tinggi's lipstick in Ruby Red . This is from the Hijabi Doll series  .  The doll foundation is also from this line. I like the colour . It is deep red , the colour is similar to  the Guerlain automatique lipstick in  122 ,Liu .This lipstick has more shine though. I bought this lipstick at Watsons.The normal price of this lipstick  is RM 30.00. There are  many lipstick colours from Sendayu Tinggi which I have not yet explore. Maybe in due time .

I read   some reviews about this eye liner . It is the canary coloured  kajal .  It is a nice eye liner. The colour  is black  and I'm happy with the depth   . It glides easily  and does not cause red eyes . When I like to have  kohled eyes , I will pick this one.  The price of this eye liner is RM 21.05 at Watsons.  There is sales at Watsons at the moment .

Revlon Super lustrous lipstick in Love that Red

 

Since I am into red lips , my sister Sadd  gave me  one red lipstick from Revlon.  The colour is Love that Red   which is a chilli red. I like it. Last time my sister Yati gave me  the bronze and nude ones .  I was thinking   whether to buy their famous Colorstay foundation again.  Perhaps later . Revlon makeup is available at major  pharmacies in Malaysia. I spotted their matte lipstick  ones a few months ago . As I am approaching  50 this November , I think I should wear soft pink lipsticks or gloss .  Something age appropriate but I cannot resist  red lipstick .  The price of this lipstick is around RM 34.80.

As for the make up remover ,it  removes make up easily and has a nice fragrance. There are  two sizes a 100 ml and a 50 ml.  The bottle fits in the palm of the hand. It is small enough to keep in a hand  bag. I like this cleansing water . It doesn't sting the eyes. The price of the 100 ml cleansing water is RM 13.90. I am into my second bottle .

This cleansing oil is available at  major pharmacies in Malaysia.  The oil  has a fruity smell. It does remove all my makeup. However when I used it the first few times , I had some allergies. I would get a spot  or so  but then I would use it if I have full makeup.

Real Techniques Powder Brush

 

Since I am into make up again, I bought the Real Techiniques brush. It is a fluffy brush . I have noted that the  Pixiwoo sisters had released their new range of brushes. Now that I have a foundation brush and a face brush I am ok . At the moment . This is a nice brush . I am quite diligent in washing my brush . This brush is big . There is a Sephora face brush that is bigger. After I used any foundation I would pat my face with powder. It does not make my face too cakey .

At the moment I am content with Cosmoderm products. I have some bumps ,still have one or two. My sister Sadd and family have moved  back from Riyadh.  They came back on the 16th of March. My cat Gebu is sleeping while his mother Fifi  is outside. That is about the house hold matters. I bought the  Real Techniques brush from Luxola. The  price is RM 55.00.

Multani Mitti and Rose water

I have always liked Indian skin care . The traditional ones that is .  I like using tumeric powder and garbanzo powder mixed with water .I saw one you tube video and I was  really interested to try  Multani Mitti. It is a clay and it also known as Fuller's earth . I bought this clay at Samy's Cash and Carry near Wisma Yakin. There is another Indian grocery shop nearby which is the New Malliga store. Then there is Haniffa textiles where I used to buy the Pond's cold cream .

The Multani Mitti  powder I bought is produced locally by Sri Eswari mills .  I also bought a bottle of rose water . This one comes from Pakistan.  The recipe calls for  Multani Mitti and rose water only. It would help to have a blemishless face . I feel that it does help . I bought two 50 grm bottles of this clay.  I picked a recipe fom the internet using  this clay , sandalwood powder , a dash of tumeric powder and rosewater . It has a distinct smell.  I used this mask   once a week .The price of the Multani powder is RM 3.90 and the rose water is RM 5.90.

Sendayu Tinggi Lasting Impact gel liner

I have finished the Maybelline Hyper liner a few months back . So I went to buy Sendayu Tinggi gel liner. I did not look at the colour . I happened to just pick the one in espresso. A few days later I picked another one in platinum  black . I prefer the colour black . It comes with an eye liner brush . The colour is nice . The colours are deep and it is  water proof. 

 The brush is quite frail , it broke . Now I am on the hunt for an eye liner brush .

I am happy with these gel  liners.  The price of the gel liner is RM 29.90. You can find easily find Sendayu Tinggi products at Watsons or at their boutiques nationwide.  Here is their website .

Cosmoderm tea tree day and night moisturizer and Vitamin E oil

After a few months of using Cosmoderm vitamin e cream , I tried the their tea tree moisturizer .  It can be used day and night .   I also bought the vitamin E oil  with rosehip 15,000 i.u.  It is in  a 30 ml  glass  bottle . Perhaps I should use only   one of the variant.   I don't want to try all the products from the vitamin E range because I have acne prone skin.  I still  have  a bit of scars , blemishes and a bit discolouration. That is a lot . Now I use the  tea tree moisturizer  during day time and the oil and vitamin E cream and oil  at night
   At the moment I have some bumps on my chin .  My weapons are the Golden Horse pearl cream and bedak sejuk a.k.a  cold powder.  I think I should  cut down  my coffee intake.  I will be 50 in November , so  a few lines here and there should not bother me .I have used Cosmoderm products since May of 2014.  The products are  affordable .  I don't really want to revamp my skincare routine just yet. 

The price of the Cosmoderm tea tree day and night moisturizer is RM 18.90 , while the   Vitamin E oil , 1000  i.u is RM 38.90.  The products can be found at Guardian , Vitacare and Alpro pharmacies .

Simplysiti Dual Action Makeup remover

This makeup remover is a dual phased cleanser. It removes all my  makeup and even my waterproof eye  makeup easily . It contains 7 natural plant extract such as celery , white cabbage, hyunmi, tomato , pak choi  , carrot and broccoli .  It does not contain parabens, artificial fragrance, SLS /SLES, SD alcohol , animal deriatives and alcohol.   The only downside is that it does not last very long.   So far I am satisfied with this product.
