Mustika Ratu Cucumber Cleansing Milk and toner

I have used nearly  all the variants of the cleansing milk and toner available from Mustika Ratu. In my thirties I used the rose cleansing duo for dry and sensitive skin. Later I used Sari Jeruk for problem skin . Now in my fifties I use the Cucumber duo for oily skin.  The cucumber cleansing milk is gentle with cucumber extract and vitamin E. This is my makeup remover at the moment.

 Then I bought the cucumber face toner in case I don't want to wash my face. It contains vitamin A,E,F to refresh and maintain moisture to the skin. I usually go back and forth to skin care I like in the past. I am careful not use products that are quite new and have much promises. I would try something from the pharmacy or the ones that has been around for some time ten years or more. I would get one two large pimples when I use new products. So I try new  pimple creams . Mustika Ratu products are available at Mydin, Sogo ,Wellness Pharmacies and at their spa in  Taman Shamelin Perkasa. They have a counter at one of the Jusco stores .
The price of the cleansing milk is about RM 12.60 and the toner is RM 11.00 . I bought these products at Wellness pharmacy which is under Aeon Jusco.

Citra Bengkoang Indonesia Hand and body lotion

I am glad I can find Citra hand and body lotion at Guardian. I have used this lotion for  a long time . Last time it has a brown top and it was  in a smaller bottle  . Usually when there is  a sale I can buy two lotion at once

Bengkoang or Sengkuang which is called in  Malaysia is well known for it's  whitening properties. This  lotion is   in a 400 ml bottle .There is a smaller size of a  250 ml bottle .  Bengkoang is also known as Jicama ,Mexican yam bean or Mexican turnip . I like this lotion . 

I don't have to buy another hand lotion . The lotion is light  and absorps  into the skin very quickly .

 Bengkoang  has been used by the Javanese royal family or Keraton to make the skin softer and fairer. Citra has been around for 30 years. It is one of the many products from Unilever Indonesia . There are many variants of this lotion  .The ones available at Guardian are the  Pearly white , the lasting white uv and the night whitening.  After this I will try the Pearly white lotion  instead as  there is a sale going on until July . The normal price of this lotion is RM 13.90.
By the way  I would like to wish to all my Muslim readers Selamat Hari Raya  or Eid Mubarak . For my non Muslim readers happy holidays . 

Beesline Whitening lifting Night cream

This is a night cream I bought when I went to Mecca. I bought it from  Al Halwani pharmacy a the Abraj Al Bait   tower near the Haram Mosque . Like my father who loves to look around the markets , I have a weakness for pharmacies. Beesline as it's name uses apitheraphy or bees products  in their skin care products. They have been around for 20 years.     There is a sweet story about how this  company started . They have a day cream and a cleanser but I bought the night cream . It is in a 50 ml jar   with a golden top .

The colour of this  cream is pale yellow . It is not light cream . It is also for whitening ,lifting  and  to prevent wrinkles  . They use an innovative formula called LumiMax .  After nearly a month of using this night cream , my skin looks good.  The blemishes and dents are still there . I use Mario Badescu drying cream to fade the blemishes  . I have two to three pimples and I never thought of using the night cream until one day. 

Products with natural products like this are good to  diminish pimples. The pimples have receded . There's only spots to take care of.  This cream is formulated without   parabens, hydroquinone,kojic acid and other harsh ingredients. This product is from Lebanon and it is available at a few middle east countries  such as Saudi and UAE among others.  I like this night cream . There are other creams using bees products like bees venom which are available in Malaysia that I would like to try  . I saw a face cream with bee venom  at  the Guardian pharmacy today  .  The price of this night cream is SAR 95.00. You can find out more about this product here  and  here

Nita Cosmetics matte lipstick in Sipadan

I was browsing at  Fashion Valet's website  for a blue top when I stumbled upon this lipstick . It is from Nita Cosmetics. The colour is Sipadan . A dark colour . A few days later I ordered the lipstick from their website. It is a lightweight , creamy lipstick which glides on your lips with  a smooth , satiny feel according to the lipstick  box . It came with a turquoise  box with an Innershine drink.  

I like this colour  . It is a maroon colour  and the texture is  not too  creamy . This is not a noir colour or gothic which sometimes I like to experiment . This lipstick  can be used daily . They have a range of nice colours .  They also have another variant of the liquid matte lipstick .
 This is a local company   . I hope they will   come out with products for the eyes perhaps  . The lipstick case is black with gold letterings.  

The price of this lipstick is RM 59.00. You can buy this lipstick from Fashion Valet or at their website here

Marhaba Almond oil

I don't go to Jalan Masjid India  as I often  as  I did before. So the last time we went ,my husband and I went to the City  One mall. We opened a food stall there some years ago. Actually it was nine years ago. We went to a Pakistani shop at the  ground floor. This shop is at the opposite of a salon . I bought an almond oil from Marhaba which is from Pakistan . I have used many almond oil from different countries . I love almond oil.

It can be used for the face,body and hair. I had one very stubborn pimple to get rid off. It was a cystic pimple . I tried Oxy 10, Nexcare acne patches , Cosmoderm tea tree oil cleanser and toner and Mario Badescu drying cream. It comes to head when I applied Oxy 10. Then I bought Jamu Jelita Pearl White Putih  Mulus so that I can dry the pimple from within. After 15 days the pimple has flattened  to a dark spot. I have the Aiken toner around. I am into the look out for a faster way to eliminate large pimples.

The price of the Marhaba almond oil is RM 20.00.

D'Herb's Aura Pesona Bintang two way cake powder

Since I use Deherb's foundation cream , I decided to buy their  face powder in the brown case. The powder comes in two colours , natural and mocha. I chose natural . The colour is beige but if you swatch it on your hand it  is quite yellow. It is suitable for medium to fair skin. I used it when I went to my nephew's dinner last two weeks. This powder does make you look flawless and smooth. More if you use it with the Diamond foundation.

The price of this two way cake is RM 36.00. You can order it online here or at Jamu stores across the nation.
