Skin Turn Red or Irritated? Skin Zen in Ten with REN Evercalm™ Ultra Comforting Rescue Mask

REN Evercalm Ultra Comforting Rescue Mask
Something interesting I learnt and agreed 100% at the media launch of REN Evercalm™ Ultra Comforting Rescue Mask during a casual chat before the event was that most people think they have sensitive skin. Ask any of your friend what is their skin type and I bet you 9 out of 10 of them will said “sensitive skin”. In fact, ask all your friend. I find this fact to be so true because all my friends told me they had sensitive skin. That got me thinking; is there really so many people with sensitive skin??

The answer is NO. They have mistaken over-reacting skin as sensitive skin. When your skin turns red, it does not mean you have sensitive skin or your “sensitive skin” flares up. No. Skin turning red is pretty common especially when we live in such a hot and humid country. Over-reacting skin are caused by physical, environmental and lifestyle factors that can affect any skin from time to time. Untreated can lead to the actual skin sensitivity. But how do you tone down symptoms that resemble sensitive skin? Simple. With this 10-minutes REN Evercalm™ Ultra Comforting Rescue Mask!

Kaizen Review: Skin Care Skin Care - Anti-Ageing Skin Care - Hydrating

Kaizen Japanese Skincare May Be the Simplest 2-Minute Routine and Yet its Everything You Need

Kaizen Skincare
It takes a lot to convert someone who is used to the 9-steps Korean skincare layering method to 4-steps maximum. When I started using the whole set of Kaizen skincare, I amazed myself with how fast my skincare routine is nowadays. Night time especially. I sleep very late on typical days. Laziness always get to me because by the time I am sleepy, I would be too tired to move a limb to apply my skincare. So when I am on the Kaizen 2-minute skincare routine, I was done unknowingly. And it’s just 3-steps! No kidding. As I grew older, I notice that my skincare routine gets minimal by year. Somehow I feel that I have been through it all. From no skincare at all to 9-steps, to using luxury brands to drugstore brands. I’ve done it all. The only thing I have not done is going minimal. While my makeup routine shows no sign of stopping, my skincare routine however has been taking a chill pill these days. Minimal but efficient is what I am looking for, and I found it through Kaizen.

I’ll Look Passed the Bulky Squarish Softlips Cube For I Like the Lip Balm Inside

Softlips Cube 1
Remember there was one point of time I had so many lip balm sent over that it was too overwhelming? Not anymore 😛

I always appreciate lip balm sent over my way because I rely heavily on lip balm on day to day basis. When I had an allergy on my lips last year, clear moisturizing lip balm was all I used. I keep a tube on my work table so I can reapply constantly to keep my dry lips moisturize and I always, ALWAYS apply lip balm as I do my makeup so that lipstick goes on smoother.

Let me be honest. When Softlips Cube landed on my desk, I was not too impressed. I do not like the squarish bulky packaging at first glance. Maybe it is just me because all my handbag are so small and sometimes I can’t even fit a lipstick in. To bring Softlips Cube out and about is out of the question no thanks to its packaging. Cute, yes. Convenient? Not for me. But on my desk, it is just perfect as it sits nicely without tumbling down. The cube design is said to resemble ice cubes so that you look snazzy when applying lip balm. Seriously? lol

Murad Review: Skin Care Skin Care - Anti-Ageing Skin Care - Wrinkle / Fine Lines

Surely, Murad Retinol Youth Renewal Serum Smoothen Those Forehead ‘Railway Lines’ Faster Than I Pronounce the Product Name

Murad Retinol Youth Renewal Serum Main
If you are obsessed with anti-aging skincare products, you would be obsessed with Retinol as well. Retinol is known to be THE ONE anti-aging ingredient that is well-known to fight signs of aging and also the most sought after product. However finding the right product with the right Retinol ingredient can be a little tricky. Most of us ended up buying and trialing whatever come our way, with the hope that it work and no money was wasted. Most Retinol products are relying heavily on a single form of Retinol. Nothing wrong with that except that it can take several weeks for the effect to be noticeable. Murad’s latest Retinol Youth Renewal Serum, which was launched a few months ago are the result of years of research and development of Dr. Howard Murad. And, it is formulated with a combination of three Retinol technologies for a quick noticeable result minus the irritation.

Clarins Instant Light Lip Comfort Oil is Everything You Need to Bring Out Your Natural Healthy, Juicy and Plump Lips

Clarins Instant Light Lip Comfort Oil 1
In the past one year, if you have been seeing photos of me with juicy, ‘my lips but better’ lips, it is not a lip balm nor a tinted lip balm. Definitely not a lip gloss as I HATE lip gloss and definitely not a lipstick. It is the Clarins Instant Light Lip Comfort Oil. I keep wanting to talk about this cutie but it kept slipping off my mind. Cannot not admit that I am getting old 😛

When Clarins pulled out all their cosmetic range, all their fans died a little inside. I died a little inside as I am a loyal user of their White Plus HP Whitening Powder Foundation. I lost count on how many refills and casing I have bought again and again because that is all I used. Suddenly somewhere last year a little package dropped at my door step. Inside there is a small dainty and cute Clarins Instant Light Lip Comfort Oil. Even before that I have already been seeing this popping out in a lot of Youtube videos. And I was about to order online because it was intriguing! Little did I know that Clarins Malaysia will be bringing back the cosmetic line and this was their first small step towards the upcoming initiative.
