Talika Lipocils Expert 28-Days Challenge – Day #7

Hello girls. I know you might be curious on how Talika Lipocils Expert works on my lashes right? Here is Day Seven progress.


For the first 7 days I’ve been wearing mascara. I’ve totally forgotten to skip mascara to let the essence sink in. But nonetheless my lashes are thicker, longer, darker and slightly curlier. I used to have lashes fall out everytime I removed my eye makeup. Not anymore since I’m using Talika Lipocils Expert. Practically I didn’t lose a single lash!

I’ve include Day Zero below as comparison as well.

Stay tune for Day #14 update soon as I happily skipped my mascara.

Avène Review: Skin Care Skin Care - Wrinkle / Fine Lines

Review: Avène Sérénage Nutri-Redensifying Vital Serum & Day Cream

This week I rekindled with my first love. Skin care first love that is. Many years ago I remembered driving to Mid Valley, stepped into Guardians and bought a whole set of Avène. I was given a bunch of trial size too and the products succeeded in combating my acne problem. As I mentioned many times before in my blog…I get bored easily with the same routine everyday so I stopped using skin care once and for all. Talking about being lazy LOL! Don’t worry. All that is history now. I’m very devoted to my skin care routine now that I know the importance of using skin care.

At my age now (gosh I feel so old saying this) I’m more suitable with anti-aging range. I was told that Avène has a new range called Sérénage. In today’s review I’m going to review two product from the new range which is Nutri-Redensifying Vital Serum and Nutri-Redensifying Day Cream.

Talika Lipocils Expert 28-Days Challenge – Day Zero


I’m excited to reveal that I’m participating in Talika Lipocils Expert 28-Days Challenge!

It was kinda rushing as I received a phone call from Talika Malaysia 2 days before the challenge start date. The next morning I took the photos of my lashes before zooming off to work and collected my Talika Lipocils Expert from Talika’s office that same morning. Nevertheless I’m more than happy to participate in this challenge! Cross your fingers for me ya.

The lashes on my left eye is much more fuller and longer than my right. I have makeup artist asking me why is it so LOL!!

Mekhala Review: Skin Care Skin Care - Cleanser

Review: Wholesome-ly Natural with Mekhala Tamarind Facial Cleanser

Not many people know this but I used to own a car forum (which the name I choose not to disclose) and the theme of the forum is hornet. I remembered I had headache thinking of an online name and I came up with QueenBee! Makes perfect sense…the forum theme is hornet and I’m the owner of the hive :). Throughout the years I collected numerous bee merchandize and recently I went through my stash for this review. I thought bee candle looked nicer than fresh tamarind heee!

Mekhala Singapore is kind enough to send me their Tamarind Facial Cleanser to try last week. I was pretty excited as I absolutely love skin care and cleanser is something I always stock up. There is a quest in me to discover and try as many cleanser as I can and that include brands that are not available here in Malaysia.

ABOUT MEKHALA

Mekhala has its origins as a line of custom-blended body oils created for the Mekhala Health Retreat 5 years ago. With burgeoning demand from the Retreat’s wealthy corporate clientele, the brand quickly grew into a range of spa essentials, food and home products. Created based on time-tested secrets of health and beauty, 3 Mekhala’s unique range of Organic Food and Natural Spa Products nourishes the body from inside out to help you achieve total wellness. All products are free of artificial flavours, colours, chemicals, fragrances and preservatives that can harm the body’s delicate balance.


Mekhala Tamarind Facial Cleanser is a soothing facial cleanser that removes even waterproof make up. True to its brand mission of mindfulness and healthfulness, the Tamarind Facial Cleanser comprises 100% natural ingredients that are as effective as they are gentle.

At one glance of the tube, Tamarind Facial Cleanser consists of Organic Tamarind and Honey as the main ingredient. Tamarind is rich in antioxidant that protect skin against the signs of aging. Honey on the other hand lead it’s natural ability to attract and maintain moisture. It also contain mild natural acids that gently exfoliate dead cells for brighter complexion and Vitamin E so that the skin feels softer and more supple immediately after washing.

Review: Skin Care Sampar Skin Care - Eye Care

Review: I Turn to Sampar Glamour Shot Eyes for a 1-Minute Solution

I don’t have major dark circle problem or eye bag *thank GOD* but I do have fine lines on the inner corner of my eyes due to dehydration. If I skip my eye cream then you’d see horrible fine lines visibly appearing and it’s even more visible once I put on makeup as makeup tend to make the area around my eyes even more dehydrated. So when typical skin care BA told me to apply just a small pea size of eye cream I find myself going against the instruction. I mean what can the small lil eye cream do for my eyes right?

Mid of last week I visited Sampar Malaysia office to get to know the brand and products upclose and personal. I like this kind of personal brand introduction as I get to hands on with product testing in a private area as well as asking all the questions that I have with me. Initially I wanted to do a brand introduction first before reviewing a Sampar product but due to some reason I’m gonna reverse the cycle ya. Will do brand introduction on Sampar when I visited their counter soon. Stay tune on that too.

I was given a handful of samples for review and I chose Sampar Glamour Shot Eyes for my first review as I DESPERATELY NEEDED A FIX for the fine lines around my eyes! I don’t normally review samples but Sampar is very different. You don’t need a full size to try for 2 weeks before writing a proper reivew. With Sampar Glamour Shot Eyes you only need 1-minute. Yes 1 minute!


In 1 minute, this multi-action glamour revealer erases dark circles, brightens the dark areas around the eyes and blurs under-eye wrinkles and fine lines. Which is why I strapped my sample to my phone and carry it everywhere with me. Whenever I think that I need a quick fix to my fine lines I just whisk my phone out and there’s my Glamour Shot Eyes. Plus it’s a cute and unique phone accessory don’t ya think so? 😉

Sampar Glamour Shot Eyes comes with a sponge applicator. I find that the applicator is very useful in getting into deep corner around the eye area before tapping the product with our finger to even the product out. And it deposited the right amount of product from the sponge to the eye.

Clarins Review: Skin Care Skin Care - Cleanser

Review: Clarins Purifying Cleansing Gel With Hamamelis is the One Cleanser I Hope Clarins Bring Back

This is the last tube in my stash that I’ve been saving as it has been discontinued. I’ve taken a few picture of this last month so I thought I should revive the review.

One of my favourite cleansing gel is definitely the Clarins Purifying Cleansing Gel With Hamamelis from Truly Matte Set which I hauled in June 2011. This is not a full size product but it sure do look like a full size to me. A full size tube is 125ml retailing at RM92. This on the other hand is 75ml which makes it valued at RM55.20. Worthy!

Here is some info from Clarins Malaysia website.

Beauty Benefits
Your skin care essential for refined skin. Gently and effectively removes make-up & impurities, while tightening pores & balancing oil production.

Your first skincare step in your quest for refined skin- our foaming cleanser for oily & combination skin. Tighten pores & immediately improve your skin’s appearance. Plus, the exclusive Sebopur complex balances oil production & skin pH. Skin stays moisturized while make-up & impurities are removed gently & effectively. For clean & comfortable skin, without that “tight-skin” feeling!

Application:-
Work up a lather & smooth over face & neck. – Massage using light circular motions (avoiding eye area) or the Clarins Cleansing Method- by gently placing hands flat over the face. Briskly lift hands off the face, as if the skin was burning hot. Repeat this movement 5 to 6 times. – Rinse well with cool water in the morning & warm water at night, then apply Toning Lotion with Iris.

Active Ingredients:
Sebopur®: An exclusive combination of Hamamelis, Gaultheira, Vitamin B6 and Zinc, which purifies & balances sebum production. Codiavelane: Moisturizes the skin.


Simple, short and sweet instruction on the back of the tube. The tube is just like any ordinary cleanser or facial foam. Although the one I have is from a best buy set, however the cap is very very strong and sturdy which I appreciate it very much. The cap is secured with a shrink wrap which means it’s new, fresh and unopen. Another thing which I like from Clarins.
