D' Herbs Madu Propolis set



I have tried the Honey and Propolis set from D'Herbs in April. I bought their trial set. There is a soap , a toner and a  day or night moisurizer.  One  of the ingredient of the soap is  cinammon. This is a simple set for those who have pimples , pigmentation or scar. My mother became   a D'Herbs agent for the shop near my house. She likes to use their  hair cream and the collagen lipstick . Sometimes she would use their eye liner.
The soap is ok. The toner  is quite   strong . The cream is my favourite . It is quite sticky though. 
The trial set lasts for about three weeks. More if you use  a little bit of the cream. I think I would  try their skincare again sometime soon.
The price of the trial set is RM 59.00.For  the full size, the price of the soap is RM 19.90, the toner is RM 26.90 and the cream at 30 ml is RM 36.90. The products are available at most  Jamu shops or kiosks. You can  also order the products from their website at www.deherbs.com.my/

Bedak sejuk Petani


 It has been awhile since I have used these tiny rice droplets. At first I use it with rosewater . Sometimes I would use it with tumeric powder. I have also tried  using it with cinammon powder , but it stung  and my face got red one morning. I  have not used this traditional powder with lime juice. Since I have dents on my face , I decided to use something natural on my face  . There are many types of cold powder , the liquid one, the ones made of rice and another  made of  clay . The ones made with clay are used by women in the East Coast of  peninsular Malaysia.I have not used  that type before but now it is sold on line. I used the cold powder twice a week.   You need to use this powder for quite sometime to see the results. I like this brand of cold powder. I used about 5 to 7 droplets with water .
The price of this cold or cool powder is RM 5.00.

Biossentials Patchouli essential oil



I used to buy these essential oils  at the British India shop in One Utama  . They have a stand for the products. Last year I went to the British India shop in One Utama to find their products but the products were   not available. 
This year I found their products again at a salon next to SASA store at the IPC shopping centre   in  Mutiara Damansara. I was very happy to find these essential oils. Like meeting a long lost friend.
I chose patchouli essential  because of it's regenerative properties. It is also good for acne. The oil is also an  aphrodisiac and an antidepressant .  I have made a face oil with the Dogaci sweet  almond oil and the patchouli essential oil. I have used this concoction for two months. The dents are still visible. I have to do something about the dents. I think I will buy one or two more essential oils.Or maybe take some supplements. The price of  the Patchouli oil is RM 50.00.

Dogaci Almond oil


I have used almond oil  to make my own  face oil in the past. I stopped using almond oil because it was difficult for me to find the oil at a reasonable price. Nowadays it is easier to find carrier oil from online shops such as Natta Cosme and Lemongreen2u to name a few. Not forgetting that  one can also order from Iherb. Sweet almond oil has always been used to make creams and it is rich with vitamin E and A. I bought the Dogaci Almond oil at a shop named Eridani at the Mujahiddin mosque in Damansara Utama. Dogaci is a brand from Turkey. Other oils available from this brand are  nigella , apricot  and grapeseed .
I used the oil mostly  at night. I feel that my skin has improved. The dent on my skin is still there . The almond oil I bought is in a 50 ml glass bottle. Sometimes I would just slather the oil  on my face. As for breakouts, I still have one or two pimples a month.  If I were to use 4 to 5 drops of the oil  ,  the 50 ml almond oil would last a few months.  I cannot use almond oil around my eyes. My eyes would get puffy and the lines would be thick . The price of almond oil is RM 22.00

Bio Oil



In March  , I have dents on my face all of a sudden . I googled and found out that  there is situation called spontaneous scarring.
I have a small scar on my forehead and  on my cheeks.There are three dents on my face like pit scars. Yikes !!  I felt so unhappy and wondered how could this be. After searching for some options on the Net , I decided to buy Bio Oil famed for healing scars.
In the first month , I have found that my skin looked good. I used it around my eyes  and the eye  lines got softer . I have some milia near my eyes. I could handle that at the moment.
After a month I decided to buy almond oil  but I still use Bio Oil . I am into my second bottle and will repurchase one soon.  I like this oil .  I have also used this oil on my burnt scars .  The scar is fading and I have another one this month. 
As for the dents , they are not so deep now  . The price of the smallest Bio Oil is RM 32.95 . There are three sizes to choose from. Sometimes  they sell in packs of two.

Sendayu Tinggi Doll Skin Foundation






I liked this foundation eversince I saw it. It is in a cute pink pot. I  bought the foundation  a few months ago in Watson pharmacy. The  foundation is very soft and you need just a little bit of it for the whole face. The colour I chose for my self is Too Pretty.
 It is the darkest one of the three colours available.  . It is a foundation, sunblock and concealer all in one.This pot will last a long time like the Naturactor foundations I have. Most  of the time I only use this foundation without setting powder. The price of this foundation is RM 38.
My parents are in  Madinah now. My sister in law Min has birth to a  baby girl. Her name is Naila. So I have two nieces this year.  Raudhah and Naila .Both are lovely and cute .My parents will come back in June with Nas and her family. This year all  of  my siblings will be around for this Eid. Yipeee !!
