A Dupe for a Glam Glow Youth Mask (Sephora Mud Mask Purifying and Mattifying Review)


Happy Saturday, Y'all ! Last saturday is a good day for me because I have found a friendly pricing for a great mask. A great Mask equal to a great skin condition :)
So without further a due I would like to share my experience with Sephora Mud Mask Purifying & Mattifying
The product claims :
Allow your skin to be free from impurities with this mud mask. It absorbs excess sebum to unclog pores. It also works to reduce the appearance of blemishes and soften your skin. Upon rinsing, your skin will look totally clean and matte without any signs of dryness.

Well, After the first try I call the mask a ‘gentle exfoliater’, which do a deep cleansing to your face without any harsh beads scraping againts the skin. After applying the product gently massage all around the face and neck and please avoid the eye area, because the eye area has the most delicate surface. After that leave the mask for about 10-15 minutes then rinse it with a luke warm water. For me the Sephora mud mask is doing a great job, it leaves my skin a velvety feeling and makes my skin looks brighter. I could say it is a dupe for A Youth Mask by GlamGlow., you could also read a full review of Youth Mask from Glam Glow HERE.
The mask is Paraben-free and designed with a Non-comedogenic formula and Dermatologically tested.

Usage :
Use once or twice a week.
Apply an even layer over your face and neck, avoiding the eye area.
Massage onto clean face around all areas and leave on for 10 - 15 minutes.
Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water or clean with damp towel.

My Updated skincare routine (Nuit)

Hello good peoples..
We all love a radiant looking skin, that's why sometimes we need a little bit of make up to help our skin to achieved the look that we always dreamed of, looking flawless, radiant, and glowing. But could you imagine if we had a flawless, radiant, glowing skin as soon as we woke up every morning ? Well all of those good looking skin doesn't come in one night and it ain't cheap. So that's why it is so important to do all the skin regime, and here's mine..

Step 1 : Cleansing
I do double cleansing everytime I'm using make up. It is so important to cleanse our skin thoroughly after we put make up.
First : I'm using a micellaire water by bioderma as the first step of my cleansing regime
Second : I cleanse my skin with my creme mouse confort by Lancome, I am in love with this face wash, it is suitable for my sensitive skin, you could find the full review CLICK HERE

Step 2 : Toning 
Just apply on a perfectly cleansed face using a cotton pad and plenty amount of a beauty lotion all over your face and neck, in this case i am using Blanc Expert, replumping beauty lotion by Lancome. It is very moist and gentle for my sensitive skin.
After that I'm just tossing the miracle water by SKII to start my skincare.
You could find the full review about the miracle water CLICK HERE

Step 3 : It's all about the Eyes
For eyes I am using eye serum, I am using an Advanced Genifique Yeux light-Pearl by Lancome and followed with the Eye cream, I am also using a Genifique Eye cream by Lancome. It is really good to diminished a tired looking eyes and those eyes that coming with a bag.

Step 4 : It's all about Serum

For now I am using a double serum, first Genifique by Lancome to boost my serum, you could find the full review CLICK HERE to know what it could do to your skin and using it in a right way.
And then I am using the Whitening Power Spots Specialist by SKII. Just put the essence by 5 drops and spread it all over the face.

Step 5 : Face cream
For Face cream I am using a Blanc Expert serries by Lancome to get all those radiant looking in the morning.

That's all, Pretty simple right.. LOL.. You know that if you want that beauty all you need is a discipline, the good genes doesn't guarantee that you'll have a radiant and flawless look that we always wanted, it also need to be nurtured.

Glowing Skin, Work in Process.. Whitening Power Spots Specialist by SK2 review

Hello again,
In Summer 2016 I've decided to change one of my face serum to SKII Whitening Power Spots Specialist (WPSS). So here's the background of my skin, I had a hyperpigmentation since I was a kid, playing on the beach, having fun with the sun gave me a sweet freckles, some in my face, some in my body. I had it removed by did a laser treatment, and the result are fabulous but since I had it in my genes so I have to protect my skin and slowing down the hyperpigmentation process. I'm using a blanc expert series from Lancome before and now I want to try something new. As we know SKII is a well known brand and I am familiar with the brand. I am using the miracle water by SKII since I was in a fresh year in my university, so it's been like 13 years.. WOW.. it is quite a long time, almost half of my age.. LOL..

The SKII WPSS help to fights hyperpigmentation and reduces spots, It's formulation contains the Ultimate Spots Corrector, which is engineered to break the vicious cycle by repairing skin damage and breaking the core of melanin pillars to reduce spots and also prevent new ones from forming.
It is a Gel-like liquid, the SKII WPSS is immediately absorbed into skin. It feels incredibly light, it has no fragrance so it is safe for a sensitive skin like mine, and the dropper keeps all the germs out.

And the Usage...
I apply the SKII WPSS after toner, miracle water and my booster serum, So I put a few drops and pat it into areas where the freckles used to be there and then I put like 6 tiny drops in 4 areas in my face, Forehead, chin, and 2 drops in each cheecks.

After almost 4 weeks of usage, I feel my skin looks more evened out, and more radiance Also I have this one dark spots near my chin post my breakouts and it is visibly reduced. I love it and planning to continuing the usage.

The Magic Pen.. Yves Saint Laurent Touche Éclat Review


Yves Saint Laurent Touche Éclat

I’ve been using this magic pen since 9 months ago and I am in love with it ever since, now I am using my third pens now. 

It is a luminizing pen that brings light and radiance to the skin, immediately erases any signs of fatigue, and brightens the complexion.
Yves Saint Laurent Touche Éclat Pen always make me look so fresh, awake and make me radiant. It is my secret weapon especially when I lack of sleep and feeling tired. It never caked up on me (even without setting powder). It’s so creamy and easy to blend, It is also never dried out my sensitive under eye area and so perfect for an eyeshadow base and make my eyeshadow long lasting.
Some don't like it because it does not cover undereye circles and blemishes. But this pen is not meant for that, and it did not cover mine. But if you want to look radiant, glowy, awake and you are looking for a fool-proof and easy to use product, give this a try.

What do you think about this bad boys ? Is it worth the hype ?

Love from the first try.. Loreal Everstrong Sulfate Free anti breakage Shampoo Review


When I was strolling around the drugstore I found it very interesting by seeing a shampoo which declared it could repair and strengthen hair in 1 wash, and it is also sulfate-free.. Please meet one of my favourite hair care routine, Ever Strong Sulfate Free, anti breakage shampoo by L’oreal.


And here’s what they said about the Product :
EverStrong Sulfate-Free Fortify System, a new hair fortifying and caring system that injects strength into hair from the first wash. Our formulas, with 360º Cuticle Care, help reinforce weak & fragile hair from the inside of the cuticle to the outside to help prevent breakage and split ends. Natural aromatic properties from rosemary energize and invigorate the senses.

I have to say I really love it from the very first aplication. The fact that it's sulfate-free means I do not have to worry about my scalp having adverse reactions to it, and that my hair is not subjected to harsh ingredients.

So what are sulfates? They are what makes your shampoo lather up when you wash your hair. So what makes them so bad? Sulfates are effective in in removing oil, and have been used in all kinds of cleaning products such as facial foams, body cleansers, and even floor cleaners used in mechanic shops. For a long time, we have been associating foam with clean, and we want clean non-oily hair, right?
Okay.. I am about to be more serious here.. 
Sulfates, present in Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate, Ammonium Laureth Sulfate, and other variations. Some are stronger and harsher than others, but they are essentially sulfate.
Sulfates have been known to cause skin irritation (i.e scalp irritation) and hair follicle damage, which can lead to diminished hair growth and weakened hair structure. Scary.. Huh?!

Coloured hair is already weakened, So imagine the damage sulfates can do when they strip the hair off whatever moisture it has left. Yup, brittle, frizzy hair.
I did my research, and found that most sulfate-free shampoos do not lather as well, and thus people tend to use more in order to get the amount of lather they're used to, to achieve that squeaky-clean feeling, but I was very pleased to find that the L'Oreal EVERSTRONG shampoo, for something sulfate-free, lathers like a charm! So no damage done to my hair and it also smells like a rain forest, so fresh !
I've been using this shampoo for about 2 weeks now, and I have to say it again I really love it, from the very first time.. My hair doesn't break as easily, and it feels pretty soft and manageable.

Bye for now, see you on my next post !

Matte Finished Cushion.. The Face Shop oil control water cushion review

Hello everyone,
Today I'm going to share my first review about cushion, I know it's so decade ago since everyone is talking and rave about it, it is because I was a little bit sceptical about cushion which has a super dewy finished and I know it's gorgeous but if you live in a tropical side of the world, you need something that will not melt during the day..
So, last week When I strolling in the mall, I visited some of korean cosmetics, I was so mesmerized with all the cute decor.. So random, right.. (; anyway When I visited The face shop store I saw this oil control water cushion that stated has a matte finished
I was tempted to tried it. And another thing that really caught my attention is the cushion contains a high SPF, so it will simplify the morning routine.
After tried it in daily basis here's my opinion :
It is Easy to apply, and the sponge that came with the pact is a great tool to use so no need another brush or another sponge to blend the product.
It's a lightweight and doesn't feel sticky on my skin. It also blends seamlessly on the skin, and look invisible, I would say it is a light to medium coverage yet a buildable product.
The cushion is also contain with high SPF, SPF 50+ PA+++ which is a MUST if you live in the gorgeous part of the world where the sun is shining like almost everyday..
After using for a week it doesn't break me out, it's so awesome for a sensitive skin like mine.
The con about this product is they only comes in 2 shade, V201 Apricot beige which is the lighter shade and V203 Natural beige, the darker shade and I am using V201 and it is match to my skintoned.

Have you tried it? Let me hear what do you think about it..

Carpe Diem..

I A few months back, I decided to leave my career at one of a multinational company..
Scarry ?! Yes it is, at first.. Leaving a financial independency seems a scarry moves for some of us, me included.
But I started to think, I just want to seize the day, doing what I like the most, spending more time with family especially with my little CoCo, whom started to growing so fast.. I don't want to loose the moments and looking back and saying what if..

The last week of my office day, I started to doubt, is it the right choice? Am I going to regret my decision?
Am I going to leave my career and just becoming a 'Mom' (well now I know it, becoming a full time mother is not just a 'Mom')
Well I started to think what I really wanna do, okay I love Fashion.. And I started to take a private class to design and make an apparels, at least for my self.. :) then what.. I love to share my ideas and my beauty life experiences and then I started to write a blog.. I am enjoy doing what I love while I could spending more time with my little one.. Went to brunch with mom and friends, like almost everyday.. Connecting with long lost friend, enjoying holiday after holiday..
and my days becoming more brighter each day.
All I want to say is always do what you love and start to seeing things from the other side, who knows you'll find yourself in a better shape and living a dreamy live.

How about you, are you ready to seize the day of your life?

The Fabulous combo for my skin.. Lancome Genifique & Visionnaire review


Good Day, Jolly Good Fellas !

So today is the day I let you in on another little anti-ageing secret. Here’s the miracle duo that I turn to for the past 2-3 years when my skin needs regenerating, refining, and aluminizing. The Fabulous Visionnaire and Genifique combo.

About
Genifique – According to lancome
Visibly younger skin in just 7 days. Skin looks as if lit from within – breathtaking radiant. It’s youthful quality returns : cushiony soft and velvety to the touch. Drop by drop, skin is vibrant with youth, it’s tone becomes astonishingly even, it’s texture dramatically refined

Visionnaire – According to Lancome
The innovation of Vissionnaire is the first skincare with LR2412, a molecule designed to penetrate throughout all the layers of the skin’s epidermis, triggering a range of micro transformations. With Vissionnaire skin perfector treatment, wrinkles are visibly reduced, pores minimized and imperfections such as uneven skin tone are corrected for a perfectly even complexion.

So.. Let’s get down to the Good Stuff,
Throughout the years I used the magical combos, Visionnaire and Genifique and I was astonished at how amazing the results of the duo were.

Genifique is a youth activating serum, it’s a boosters to your serum, Genifique took anti ageing to a whole new level. The texture is lightweight and absorbs very rapidly too, leave my skin moist and supple. I used it every night after cleanser and toner ; then follow it with visionnaire. For day time, I used it as my make up base.
The most noticeable benefit  using Genifique and Visionnaire was, I haven’t seen an obvious line on my face.. well I am on my 30th but I tend to slow down my ageing proccess and hopefully my beauty age stop at 22 :) I also noticed my skin more supple, moist, looking healthier, and any unevenness in skin tone is basically sorted.

I also use vissionaire as a treatment whenever I had a hormonal reaction – pms that cause one or two breakout on my face. I apply thick layer of visionnaire on the affected area at night and  in the morning my the breakouts are pretty much contolled.
Together they work well to keep my skin young and radiant.

Packaging
Genifique comes in a very clinical looking glass bottle with a dropper dispenser. The twist could ‘sucks’ up just the right ammount of product needed for one application and dispenses it with a click of a button.
Visionnaire comes in a blue plastic pump bottle, a hygienic and easy to use form of packaging. The pump dispenses a very little product at a time so there is no wastage.

Glowing under the SUN



Hello Loves !

I guess, Summer is getting exciting with another Chanel Collection. Right now I will be talking about Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Sheer Powder and Healthy Glow Sheer Color Stick.

LES BEIGES HEALTHY GLOW MULTI-COLOUR BROAD SPECTRUM SPF 15 SUNSCREEN
Is a Lightweight, multi-colour powder offers a palette of effortless effects. Acts as a highlighter, sculpting powder, bronzer and blush — all with a sheer, natural finish and broad-spectrum sun protection.” Comes in 01 Mariniere and 02 Mariniere. But Here I am choosing a 01 Mariniere, It’s more suitable for a light skin like mine.this powder is suitable for touch ups as it gives the skin a more healthy glow effect, as the name suggests.

LES BEIGES HEALTHY GLOW SHEER COLOUR STICK

It is a Creamy formula and blends seamlessly with skin to enhance, brighten and contour. Healthy-glow shades help sculpt cheekbones  and refresh the complexion with a vibrant, velvet finish.Just because it is Summer, I guess we all need something that could last a little longer while we’re having Fun under the Sun, That’s why for summer I rather to use a creamy based formula makeup to applied, it last longer than a powder based make up.

THE BEST WAY TO USE DRY SHAMPOO

It’s so hard to imagine life without DRY SHAMPOO.

This powdery hair saver that conceals our greasy roots, turn our bad hair day into a fine hair day.. Dry Shampoo is a great way to save time on days when we’re in a hurry and still want to look fabulous. Today, I will share how to Maximize the strand-saving benefits of lazy shampooing.
Try these three tricks for terrific tresses:

1. Apply it before bed. Even if your hair isn’t greasy yet, this preemptive move ensures the dry shampoo absorbs oil as soon as it’s produced, so you wake up to fresh locks.
2. When you do apply it, spritz it on, then wait a full two minutes before brushing or styling. Start combing too soon and you’ll remove the product without giving it enough time to do its oil-absorbing duty.
3. Use dry shampoo on clean hair too. It’s a foolproof way to create volume and texture.

If you have another great way to use it, let me hear from you.. And Don’t forget to subscribe my page, Fellas !

Dear Sensitive Skin, please be kind.. La Roche Posay Toleriane FluidReview

Hello everyone, I hope you all do well..
Weather in where I live now is kinda changing, sometimes the sun is shining in the morning and after two hours it started to rain, well in this kind of weather transition my skin has become super sensitive, and the alergic reaction decided to appearing on my face, bumps started to appear, and my skin is becoming super dry in some area and believe me make up won't help that much in this kind of skin condition. If I'm wearing make up, I will have this alergic reaction in the next 1 or 2 hours. And then I remembered this one brand, La Roche Posay. During my laser treatment my doctor suggest me to use the thermal spring water from La Roche Posay because during the laser treatment my skin has become very sensitive, just like now.
So I decided to give a try to La Roche Posay Toleriane Facial Fluid
the very light moisturizer has been a Godsend for me because it is calming down my sensitive skin yet moisturized the skin really well without any greasieness, It causes absolutely no alergic reaction, it has no fragrance, parabens.
If you're looking for a product for a super sensitive skin, you cannot do better than Toleriane.
One tube of Toleriane fluid cost like 35sgd, I find it super affordable for such a great moisturizer.
I am trully loving La Roche Posay products.

Do you have any holy grail products for sensitive skin?! Let me know.. 

You will never wear your foundation the same way again ! It's a Glowing second skin that you've been dreaming of ..

Hello there !
For the past month I am really into a glowing looking skin, so I've tried several illuminating primer for my base, some of it works some.. I would say, It's too 'sparkling' for me..
These days how I wear my foundation is by mixing my serum and my foundation, in this case I am using my Genifique serum by Lancome and Perfection Lumiere Teint Fluid by Chanel.
The ratio could be variated if you want a light coverage you could mix 1:1 between the serum and foundation, like I'm doing..
It's so perfect, giving me a nice glowing, healthy looking second skin throughout the day.. It is  suitable for everyday makeup. But if you want  more coverage you could change the ratio 1:2 between the serum and the foundation..
I promise you'll never use your foundation the same again..
Let me hear it from you if you have another tips and trick to have those luminous gorgeous skin of yours..
