Olay regenerist firming night cream and Safi Moisturizing cream with Sari Gamat

I am using two creams for day and night. At night I use Olay Regenerist night firming cream. I have wanted to buy this cream for awhile. So , I did about  a month ago. The cream is lavender colour. It is a thick cream. I feel there is an overall improvement on my face but not so drastic. I think I should use this cream for more than three months to see the real improvement .   Sometimes I use it on top of the rosehip oil and after using Dr Denese facial pads. This cream does not get rid of  my brown spots and the uneven colour. I think I don't want to think so much of these minor spots. The normal price of this cream is RM 69.90. I have bought  for RM 57.90  at  a Caring pharmacy during sales.I like this cream .

At day time after cleansing, I will use the Safi moisturizing cream with BHA and sea cucumber or  gamat extract. This cream is thin in consistency. It is a huge  jar of 80 grm. It is very soft. I bought it mainly to prevent pimples and this cream is said to help regulate the skin's  sebum and moisture balance. One can use this cream for day and night. It is a pleasant cream. It costs RM 8.30 at Guardian pharmacy. I used to wear the other cream with Cucumber extract . The one with the green top. This cream will last a long time and I find that pimples do not visit for a time being.

Dr Denese Advanced Firming Facial pads with Actizone and the Resurface & Glow treatment face wash

I have bought two Dr Denese products , the firming  face pads  with Actizone and the  Resurface  and Glow treatment face wash. I have been using both products about two to four weeks.  At first I use the firming pads with Actizone, 60 counts, the next week I bought the Resurface & Glow treatment face  wash online. At first when I use the pads, it was cooling and then it stings. After using it twice, my face had gone red and I had to wash my face. After about three weeks, my face has got used to it. I used it about 30 seconds on my face and then on my hands. I liked it  and I see improvement on my face . Yes, there is a lot of moisture in one pad as was said in her video.   I am supposed to use it everyday as my face is prone to pimples but I use it every two days and will try to use everyday. I like the treatment wash , I feel it exfoliates better . This is my first time using a face pad and it does not dissapoint. My next agenda is to buy the face serum. Dr Denese products come in the blue jars and bottles.The price of face wash was RM 65.90 and the Firming Pads was about RM 103.00.After using for more than one month, my face is fairer. It is the same tone with my fingers. I have some flakiness around my nose. At first I use the face pads on my hands but there is a spot which occured so I stop using on my hands.  Overall my face look better but I think using the pads three times a week or less will suffice. Some users of this glycolic pads say that once a week will do well too.

Fair & Lovely Multi vitamin cream

My hand is fairer than my face. Maybe two tones lighter. So I bought the Fair &Lovely  cream. It is a good cream though. I used the cream some time ago. I used the cream once a day . I used this cream  as I hope to be as fair as my hands. I think I will have to buy an appropriate sun block. It is very hot  nowadays and it rains in the afternoon and evening.The colour of the cream is white. There is another one called the anti marks cream i.I think I will try the other cream. I still have a pimple scar.  I should be using the cream  twice a day. I am careful with creams as I do not want to get pimples yet pimples are part and parcel of life. Now I always get back to those creams which have been around and the ones I used in the past. 

There are two kittens which are at the house. They are Spicy , the cat's kittens. They are wild and scampered whenever  I am near them .  They ran into the drain like Jingga one year ago.My father bought a " Misha"  cat food. It is in a green plastic. It is Halal. My cat Jingga was drenched today in the afternoon. He was yeowling and I did not see that he was soaked .After eating the fish , he hopped into bed and was sleeping contentedly. 

Some Simple food

A few days ago , I was at home. My parents and sister did not come back yet. Mal ,my brother ,was plonked in bed. Obviously he was tired with the night shift.  I thought of cooking but then , I felt quite hungry. So there were some prawn, tomato and eggs. I made the the shrimp louie. This salad is filling. I made some for my brother.

Before that , my sister Nas had a nice recipe with "Budu" involved . Budu is a delicacy , if I may say so favoured by those from the East Coast of penisular Malaysia .It is  fermented fish sauce.  My mother made some cabbage in coconut milk or masak lemak kobis, fried chicken, boiled or steamed fish and eggplant  with long beans. Of course a hard boiled egg in Budu with slices of  onion and bird 's eye chillies. It was very nice. I liked it a lot.

I was thinking of making some mee with wantan . My sister made some , it was dim sum the other day. Later we went to eat at a restaurant selling noodles . I had noodles  with beef.  I think I will make some beef stock and beef and keep it hot , so that I can eat some noodle whenever my mother is not at home or when  my parents fast on Mondays and Thursdays. My father said that fasting makes one healthy.  My husband had made some Carbonara sauce yesterday  and I had boiled some spaghetti.  I will have those tomorrow I and  will make probably make  some more shrimp salad.

Sendayu Tinggi - D'folia and Sedu Arrow

Last week I went to KL to buy a new jar of Pond's cold cream. I bought it at Hanifa textile at Jalan Masjid India. This is my third jar  in the last two years. I bought the 269 gm which costs RM 18.90. Then I went to buy a linen cloth at one of the shops. There is sale , I bought  an olive coloured one. Last time it was the soft peach .

Today I purchased    Sendayu Tinggi traditional supplements  called D'Folia and Sedu Arrow. I have been taking the supplement for about two years. D'Folia is from the honeymoon set and Sedu Arrow is from the women'sset.  I used both for anti aging purposes  and for  my overall health. So far I liked these supplement . I have not tried the ST  Beauty and D'Folia coffee though . One can became a ST  member  for RM 25  at their outlets and they  do have nice makeup colours.

Aidilfitri ,Himalaya Neem Pack,Dr Denese and Payot

Selamat Hari Raya !!! This Aidilfitri , my sisters are here and my brothers with the exception of Zahid. There is the usual fare  , the rendang chicken and meat, sayur lodeh and the nasi impit. This year 's eid is quiet and happy. My sister Nas , Rafiq , Tae and Akmal were around with their families. Yesterday we went to Rafiq's house , Sadd is in Kelantan and Yati came back as a surprise. 

In  the past week I have been looking up for Dr Denese skincare. It looks good especially the Firming Pads. I am also interested in the age corrector cream, the blue cream the hydroshield cream and serum. Lastly it is her Resurface and glow treatment face wash.  I have been watching  all her videos . The founder of this skincare is Dr Adrienne Denese. She is from Hungary and  has a medical degree from Cornell  University medical college. In 1997 she opened her anti aging clinic in New York. She has also written a book called Dr Denese's Secrets for Ageless skin: Younger skin in 8 weeks. 

I have also used the Himalaya Herbal's  Neem Face  Pack for Oily and Pimple prone skin. This is a mask which contains Neem,turmeric and Fuller's earth . It has a distinct sandalwood scent. The colour is dark green with greying tones. It is a pleasant mask which is  cooling and tightening. It firms  and rejuvenate the skin and also clears the skin of all blemishes.  This face pack is said to regulate excess oil  secretion , cleans clogged pores and improves skin texture. It costs RM 19.90 for a 150 ml tube. So far I have used it twice.

The next skincare which caught my attention is Payot. Payot is a  French skincare , the founder is Dr Nadia Payot who  was one of  Europe's  first female  medical doctors  . She created the line in 1927. The creams are about RM 200 depending on the website . It is available at Impian Wanita and Strawberrry net.  I am aware of this skincare as  I used to work near the company which imports this skincare. The products I am interested in are Pate Grise for pimples of course and the Special 5 lotion. Some of  the interesting creams are   Design Lift , Creme Anti Rides ,Design Visage and Creme Jeunesse Du Visage. Most of the creams are  for anti aging and lifting . I think this will be on my wish list next year.

Pineapple juice and Sri Mawar cosmetic

I was thinking of how to eradicate  uneven skin . So far with the Garnier peeling cream, it is still visible but  not too apparent. I am into half of the jar and I plan to buy another . I was thinking of using pineapple juice. It has an enzyme called Bromeilan which is a natural BHA which is good to exfoliate the skin . One has to use the fresh juice immediately. Leave it on for 15-20 minutes.  . There is one  recipe calling for coconut milk and pineapple juice in equal quantity and putting  the concoction on the face. Another is to dip a face towel  into fresh pineapple juice and leaving the towel dripped with the juice for 15 minutes. This is one of the natural face lighteners  which I came across. Once my mother buys the fruit for her daily smoothie I will try it on.With natural ingredients , one does not have to worry about chemicals so much but sometimes who knows best ?

I was spying on  the Peter Roth Thomas 3% glycolic wash most of the time along with the  gentle pads.I wonder if it is any good . Since  I am not into high end product just yet . I was thinking of  trying the Sri Mawar Cosmetic. It is made of fruit extracts,flowers and vegetable protein.  It has been around  since 2000, from Johor . 

The line is simple and complete. I like the soft pink packaging.  I like the beautiful skin of the  lady in the advertisement . So fair and flawless.The basic line is made of  cleansing milk , foaming wash , freshener , glicoderm cream and uv cream. There is the normal skin set and the oily  skin set.        The whole set is for RM 260. Then one has to add about RM 100 for the the scrub and a moisturiser.   If you are interested here are some websites which sell this nice skincare line.http://srimawarkosmetiks.blogspot.com/ and http://yakinjaya.blogspot.com/2008/11/sri-mawar-kosmetik.html
