The Face Shop pet hand cream review

I need hand cream because I do chores (okay, I just want a hand cream and that was obviously an excuse *shys*)
Name: Lovely Me:ex mini pet perfume hand cream
Brand: The face shop
code: 04 Fruity Floral
Volume: 30ml
Origin: Made in Korea

This is the bottom of the bottle. There are ingredients listed (in English too) underneath. Besides,the bottle is palm size which makes it travel friendly

The bottle needs to be turned to open or close.
1) I like this because this is reusable (as in I can replace the hand cream with other lotion)
2) I dislike this because it's not as hygiene compared to those "toothpaste-like" hand cream (dust might get in)

One thing I love about this is the design! It is so cute! Looks like a cat trying to crawl out of a bucket! All my friends complimented the appearance of the bottle.
Meanwhile, the texture of the cream is mild, not creamy and not gel. At first it's creamy when you scoop it out of the bottle but after the application it feels matte and not greasy at all! Even though the feeling is matte, it makes my hand feel silky smooth. 

This is a scented hand cream. I choose this is because of the sweet/elegant smell. The name is called "Fruity Floral" but I only smell the floral.
If you hate fragrance then this is not the one for you. Honestly speaking the smell can make me feel dizzy when I am in a bad mood simply because the scent is as strong as a normal eau de toilette but it is not as long lasting (imagine your hands are drenched in perfume after application)
Anyhow, I like this because for me it's hand cream + perfume (2 in 1), I don't need to bring my perfume with me during outings. 
I guess that is it! :)
Hope this helps!

Fake DollyWink eyebrow mascara

I brought this online and the pictures they posted are authentic but after they sent it to me only I realized it's fake. 
How to differentiate? Well, it's quite easy *laughs*.
They copied it quite well but Malaysia imported DollyWink products usually have Golden Corner sdn bhd's sticker on top and a seal to protect the product so that no one can open it except for the consumer.
Next, they did not have "Maixuer" on the package print also, the girl is obviously not Tsubasa Masuwaka. 
The bottle only have "Dollywink" and not more than that but there is another logo underneath this.
Furthermore, the brush is longer than the original (the length of the brush not the handle).

Upon opening, it have scent. Real Dollywink eyebrow mascara have no fragrance.
They even imitated the sticker underneath the bottle. True, Dollywink does have a colour named "Maple" but it is not as dark as this colour. Even the darkest shade of their eyebrow mascara is not as dark as this one. 

This fake product creates a lot of crumb and the scent is pretty strong (not to mention disturbing).  
Here's a selfie before I end this post. Hope people would just stop imitating other brands, it creates a lot of trouble for other people. What if your fake products trigger some people with sensitive skin and damaged their health? Also, this is an unethical way of doing business. Bye bye my precious money.

Hope this post help you all to learn how to differentiate between imitations and authentic Dollywink eyebrow mascara.

Sorry I couldn't make a comparison because I didn't buy the real one. I went to Sasa and take a look at the real one before I made this post. 

Hope this helps.

Brush ON Block review

There are mainly two reasons why I rarely wear makeup during travels:
1) afraid my contact lens are gotta dry out
2) Reapplying sunblock

Why do I highlight the sunblock part? Well, because it's hard to reapply greasy and creamy sunblock on my face when I have makeup on! 

But then this product came out in the market! *drum rolls*
Brand: Kiss Mineral Makeup
Name: Brush ON Block
Ingredients: Titanium Dioxide- 15%, Zinc Oxide- 12%
SPF: 30 (80 minutes of protection)
Weight: 3.4g
Most special part of this sunblock is that it's in powder form! No more greasy and creamy feeling! *laughs* The mineral powder is suitable any skin type and it's at the bottom of the product. 

It also have a lock. Turn left then it's open, the powder could reach the brush; turn right to lock, the powder wouldn't be wasted when you are not using it. 
This is how it looks like after opening the refill. Yes, it's refillable. So there is no need to repurchase the entire thing. 
The powder is translucent, so it doesn't give a coverage or matte finish. Just natural, it feels like nothing and looks like nothing but it works like a charm!

Also, the powder does not sting my eyes at all!
Now on to the brush! 

There is a mini tube that connect the powder with the brush (I found it hiding inside the brush. Tehee)
Besides, the bottle itself is durable. I dropped it twice and it still functioning! haha!
There is a plastic that keep the brush in place before closing the cap. 
The brush is synthetic fiber so it's very soft on the face! 
Oh! The best thing about this brush is that it can apply the powder on hard-to-reach places! (Eg: ears) 

I brought it at around RM160+ in selected clinics. Anyhow, they sell it at RM170+ via online, the refill cost about RM130+ in their website. 

It is expensive but definitely worth the prize! 

This is one of my favorite product! I love it so much!

I guess that's it for now! Hope it helps!

Cettua Leg relax patch review

Hello! Happy New Year dears ♡ I have been to Comic Fiesta 2014. This is the first time I am staying until the end of the event cause usually I went back in the afternoon/evening.
Look at that crowd ( ´・___・) (I am the one in santa hat *Hirasawa Yui Xmas version)

I had lots of fun. Unfortunately, I always over exhausted my legs after an event. Maybe because I have to walk and pose for a long period of time. 

Then I encounter this product!
Name: Leg Relax Patch
Brand: Cettua
Origin: Made in Korea
Quantity of patches: 2

Beside Korean language, they have English instructions and ingredients list behind the package which is a plus point for foreign products!

This is how they look like after being opened. Honestly I did not expect they look like this *giggles*. They kind of reminds me of pain relieve patches. 

Also, they stated that there's lavender, rosemary and tea tree extract in the patches but then I only manage to smell tea tree and mint from the patches. The scent is similar with car perfume
 Aren't like other pain relieve patches, they did not smell like medicine so there's no worries to be used in office or colleges. 
 There is a layer of plastic on the patches. These patches feels like their eye masks, one side cotton the other side is gel.
After applying them on my ankle it feels so amazing... The cooling feeling and scent is soothing my cramped feet. Yes, my feet was cramped (twice) during Comic Fiesta. After that, it was still painful o(QwQo) . This seriously soothes my darling feet (●´∀`●)

I should totally bring this with me during travels. *laughs*

Overall I think it's good. It doesn't relieve 100% of the pain but it does reduce around 60% of it. 
I guess that's it! Here is a selfie I took during Comic Fiesta 2014 cosplaying as Krista Lenz.

My Christmas haul

Hi y'all! There is always those crazy year end sales tempting me buy so much! 
I brought Biore foam cleanser which works as both daily cleanser and makeup remover. This is my 2nd purchase. What kept my loyalty is that it works absolutely amazing when it comes to removing base makeup but it does not remove mascara at all (including eyebrow mascara). Best part of it is the convenience it gave me! 
I brought it at RM11+ after promotion in Guardian.
Koji's false lash glue in clear. I got my first one during last year's Dolly Wink's makeup workshop.
Why I repurchase it simply because it's clear (I need not to reapply eyeliner after putting on false lashes). It can be removed easily by using lots of water. Also, it won't ruin my precious false lashes!
 That small size makes it travel friendly but it's harder for touch-ups because it's not those bottles packaging. Furthermore, it's cheap. I brought it for RM9.8 after promotion in Sasa. NP is RM10+.
Almost the entire set of skin care! This is the craziest I have encountered this year! Guardian gave this entire range a 70% off discount until 4th of January 2015!

I needed a hydrating serum and a new toner. At first I only brought those two but thinking over, you can't meet an awesome promotion everyday.*giggles*
I have been using Nano white skin care for a long period of time but not this range. I love how their moisturizer can be absorb to the skin abruptly with the Nano technology. This is important for me since I hated greasy feeling cause I am staying in a sunny country with humid weather. 

I shall give a tedious review on their skin care range. haha! Thank you for the year end sales!

HoHoHo! Merry Christmas peeps!

Hope y'all enjoy those sales as much as I do! :D

Garnier BB Eye Roll-on review

Brand: Garnier
Name: BB eye roll-on
Volume: 15ml

I have been trying to find this for quite awhile cause I saw some models and singers using it and it seems so nice since it does not only work as a concealer but also a eye care product!

Then I found it at Guardian~  #shiawase
Only one shade is available.
It stated that constant usage can reduce my dark eye circle.
To be honest, I am not so sure about this since I did not use this daily.
It contains lemon essence, mineral pigments and caffeine that works well with reducing dark eye circle.
The packaging is average, nothing special. Anyhow, the design of the bottle is very nice to hold.  
This is the roller, I know it's a mess but the bb cream keep dripping out. I have to store it upwards to ensure it does not make too much mess. 
The texture of the cream is very thin, it's easy to glide under the eyes. Unfortunately, the roller always give me way too much cream. 
(Sorry about my "naked" face *laughs*)
The cream itself felt more like essence, very thin and nice to use. The nude pigment is sheer so it basically matches most of the skin colour. 

If you are finding for a coverage concealer then this is definitely not the one for you. This is more of a skin care and it's suitable for those who loves a natural finish. 
Full make up! *laughs* I brought it with RM20++ in Guardian. It is a normal price for a concealer so I think it's okay.

I guess that is for it for Garnier's BB eye roller.

OH! Let me show you the false lash I am using in that picture!
It's Daiso's natural false lashes with black and brown mix!
So natural and so long!!! I love it so much haha!

Okay okay, last picture! *giggles*
Hope it helps!

Bloop toe nail sticker review

Hi y'all! I know I promised that I will write about U.Mi's workshop in my current post but then I am having exams so I will have to delay that post. For now I will write a simple review.

Brand: Bloop
Name: Nail it!
I brought this for my graduation. I love it when I manage to find occasion to be pretty LOL 
There are instructions behind the packaging. It's very easy to use and I always prefer this more than nail polish because I don't need to wait ridiculously long for them to dry.
It comes with a nail file and 22 nail stickers. 
I put them on my bare nails and apply a layer of top coat so they can last for a week or so.
Without the top coat it can last around 3  to 4 days.

This is how it looks like after 2 weeks, most of them dropped after 4 days.

Looks cute right? I brought it for RM15, it's cheaper if you compare to nail salon services. I won't buy it on a daily basis though but I don't graduate everyday. Haha!

I guess that's it!

btw, I found this weird Japanese snack in a grocery store and I was so tempted to take a picture of it.
They are dried mini crabs *shivers*. I am not a fan of crabs and this gave me the chills... 

Enough randomness for now!


Hope my review helps!
