Mini Swatches from mini Nail polish haul ;)

Most of the polishes are not from recent collection. Anyway here is how the colors will look like. There is only one color I actually used, Mistletoe Kisses from China Glaze from last christmas collection... The rest are still pretty new and untouched :(






Conclusion, I don't really like the Katy Perry collection. 3/4 colours are pretty sheer. The One That Got Away, look pretty but the glitters doesn't stands out much.

You can still get the colors via spree ;)

I am in the process trying out Mr&Ms Dappy Beauty Foot Lotion. Fyi, it is not really a lotion. The gel will peel off the outer layer of your feet and making them smooth. My feet look gross! Do expect a gross blog post soon!!! ;P Anyway I couldn't help it but here is the sneak peek of my skin ;p hehehe...


My housemate helped me to get some Etude House products from Korea I got the upgraded version of the Precious Mineral BB Cream. They gave me free (cute) brush for applying the BB cream. I finished my Seche Vite Top Coat and now I am trying out Etude House Jelly Pop top coat.



Sorry for the lack of updates. Reviews will be coming up snaily slow ;)

Dr. G Brightening Peeling Gel

Hello ladies! 
How was your weekend. I MIA for more than a week..Sorry.. But I am back! And it's mid March already! Time flies. Literally. 
I assume you might have probably notice that SaSa is having their 33th anniversary sale now. I was really happy to find out that Balmbini from The Balm is having 33% off! When I was in SaSa it got better! All The Balm products are having 33% off! 
Below is my latest haul and I couldn't wait to share on of the products I bought!!!
Love! Love! Love.... the product so much!


As you can see I am going to review the brightening peeling gel!

How often do you exfoliates? I normally do my scrub routine whenever I feel I have a layer of gunk on my skin. Especially around my nose. I am the most typical kind of girl where I have to squeeze those gunk out whenever I see them. I know doing extraction on your own is bad.. I just can't help it. Been cleaning my own pores since I am a teenager ;p


So far, this product is similar to Cure, when you rub your skin you will see those whitish thing forming (claimed to be your dead skin. I highly doubt it), Etude house has one too, Magic Bubble Peel, in mousse form.

 

I tried both of them. Nothing much to rave about but do let me know if you want me to review them! ;)

Now lets move on to Dr. G Brightening Peeling Gel before I go off track again...

I bought it for RM33 with any purchase of RM33 and above during SaSa 33th anniversary sale. I believe they still have the promo going on. So if you decided to try this, you might wanna get it during the sale! The retail price is roughly RM60 plus. Can't remember the exact amount. With that price, you will be getting 120ml worth of product.

Exfoliation is really really really important! 10 years from now, believe me you will be thankful that you exfoliates! If the skin is piled up with serum, impurities and old corneous tissues, the skin looks full and rough. Likewise, the skin pore looks flapped because the skin loses moisture coherence. That is why I am doing them now. But please bear in mind that doing it excessively might result in overly thinning your skin surface. That is why the instruction says, use twice a week ;) 

What they say:


Dr.G Brightening Peeling Gel contains natural formula extracted from Cotton Fibers Cellulose that peels off oil corneous tissues or sebum to make the skin clean and pure.

The fibers and Bark Extract peels off useless corneous tissues without irriatation.While,
Rhus Semialate Gall Extract, Disospyros Kaki Leaf Extract and Laricyl LS58865 (wtf is this?) are highly effective in pore reduction and soothing skin. Lastly, Phyto-Oligo, which is excellent in holding moisture, and honey formula hydrate the skin after peeling.

What I say:
Almost 99.9% of the time, when I  pick up a new product the first thing I do would be to take a sniff ;p I love how dermatologically tested products smell. No fancy, cutesy (?) smell. This product smell like a tea tree oil. Very calming feeling ;)

The texture of the product is a bit liquidy. So be careful not to squirt too much.


The minute you rub them, you can actually see the fibers become visible. I like the idea of using fibers as exfoliator compared to micro beads. They are way more gentle.

Downside, I don't notice any changes in my pore size. They are still as huge as previously. 
How to use:
It is suggested to use 1-2 times a week, according to the skin types: 
oily skin use 1-2 times a week; normal skin use once a week; dry skin twice a month. Downside, I don't notice any changes in my pore size. They are still as huge as previously. 

After cleansing, apply a proper amount of peeling gel to damp face. Avoid eye area and mouth.
Gently massage with finger tips for 2-minutes.
Rinse thoroughly with water. 
For sensitive skin, do not rub your face too hard and long. It is more effective when you massage softly.
Not too sure how well this will work for sensitive skin, do consult the beautician or your doctor before you try them ;)

Did you try any of Dr.G product before? Any famous product from them do you think I should try??? :D 

Have a nice week ahead! Keep Japan in your prayers :)

The Brazillian (Solaris) - I Love Discounts

Who doesn't love good deals? I am glad Malaysia, well at least around the Klang Valley, we have quite a number of websites giving us the latest best deal. Saving us, especially the ladies our bucks on all the necessary stuff. Riiiiiight?  ;)

One of the site that is up and coming with all the great deals is I ♥ Discounts.


Subscribe to them to get the latest deal!
Don't forget to like them in Facebook too! ;)

They gave me a voucher for legs waxing service at The Brazilian, Mont Kiara. Since I barely have any hair on my legs (so grateful for that) I pass the voucher to one of my bestie, Andie ;) After finding out that I am not a wax virgin anymore she is anxious to try as well! She even go for Hollywood waxing a.k.a All Off. Together with the voucher she is entitled for 40% off any other wax. We planned to go earlier on but it was the "fall of the empire" as a result we have to delay our plan for 3 weeks!

The journey begins. The cozy ambiance greets us. 


Their therapist are said to have more than 5 years experience in waxing. Which is crucial, aside from the other basic hygiene practices such as no double dipping, wearing mask and latex gloves the whole time handling a client. Mask and gloves will not be recycled as well. Another impressive point, they always sterilize the waxing equipment. Waxing with a peace of mind ;)


Consultation session. To prepare her mentally ;P


(After) See her cheerful face! - All clean huh? ;P


According to Andie, the waxing was not painful at all! Even on the most sensitive part! Amazing! Maybe it is her pain tolerance level? Or simply the therapist skill? ;P
She did mentioned that her wax smells like strawberry!!! I want as well! Previously mine was odourless :(

Since Andie have sensitive skin, they recommended a serum to be used. It is ROSYVELLE France Hydrating Serum(Vita E) 3.5ml for RM15.

Quick absorbing and leaving skin pretty hydrated. Can be used up to 4 times!

Overall, according to Andie, the experience was a pleasant one ;)

Psst, there will be 50% off for first trial! Good for you pretty ladies who is wax virgin and want to find out how it feels before getting committed to a full price waxing session.


The Brazilian is located in Jalan Solaris 3, Solaris Mont Kiara.

What Are Words? Chris Medina

Just want to share something beautiful with you guys. I hope your life filled with love and abundance of happiness. To love and be loved is the greatest happiness one can possibly feel. Tell that person how you truly feel because you might not have tomorrow.



Anywhere you are, I am near
Anywhere you go, I'll be there
Anytime you whisper my name, you'll see
How every single promise I keep
Cuz what kind of guy would I be
If I was to leave when you need me most

What are words
If you really don't mean them
When you say them
What are words
If they're only for good times
Then they don't
When it's love
Yeah, you say them out loud
Those words, They never go away
They live on, even when we're gone

And I know an angel was sent just for me
And I know I'm meant to be where I am
And I'm gonna be
Standing right beside her tonight

And I'm gonna be by your side
I would never leave when she needs me most

What are words
If you really don't mean them
When you say them
What are words
If they're only for good times
Then they don't
When it's love
Yeah, you say them out loud
Those words, They never go away
They live on, even when we're gone

Anywhere you are, I am near
Anywhere you go, I'll be there
And I'm gonna be here forever more
Every single promise I keep
Cuz what kind of guy would I be
If I was to leave when you need me most

I'm forever keeping my angel close
