The sunscreen is house inside the metallic tube which is a good move to avoid sunlight heat on it.

Suntegrity’s SPF 30 Natural Mineral Sunscreen for the body

The sunscreen is like cream on my skin, not sticky and moisturising on my skin.  It will suits dry skin or during winter than on oily skin type.  It does have a white cast which disappeared after 30minutes later.

The sunscreen has the smell of faint oranges which is uplifting if you like orange. The smell disappeared few hours later.  Since it is SPF 30, it is recommended to use this as indoor sunscreen instead of the one you use to go to beach.

It is water resistant but does wash off easily with shower gel.  I didn't trigger any allergic reaction from me since my body is not so picky.  I do love the green tea ingredient in the sunscreen XP.

Do check out the ingredients list because your allergic triggers are not probably not the same as mine.

The bottle is just like a BB cream bottle.  It is plastic outside but feels heavy and has a metallic surface.

Suntegrity Natural Moisturising Face Sunscreen&Primer-Broad Spectrum SPF 30

The sunscreen comes out in form of opaque white.  It goes on smooth on the skin, brighten the skin and smooth out the skin like a primer.  It is transparent once applied on skin with sheen so it won't cover the red scars if you have any.  The skin is primed to be brighter which I guess suits the glowing look of summer.  There is a slight white sheen along with moisturized skin which is really great for makeup after that.  Skin feels matte to the touch but not to the point of dryness or taunt skin.  The sunscreen is water resistant since I couldn't clean it off with just plain water.  Make sure to remove your sunscreen well at night even if you do not use makeup.

I just do not really fancy the smell of those orange flavour dehydration salt.  It will only disappear few hours later. XP

I like that this sunscreen has only zinc oxide because titanium oxide just doesn't work that well with me.  Zinc oxide is really great for healing and appears on rash cream or used for skin rashes.  It did help to protect my skin and did not irritate my skin.  There is also the anti ageing ingredients, Astaxanthin, Cucumis Sativus (Organic Cucumber), Hyaluronic Acid, (Red Algae) Extract, Organic Green Tea Extract, (Organic Pomegranate) Seed Oil and Citrus Grandis (Grapefruit) Essential Oil.


However, there are some essential oil that may clogged some skin type so do check out the ingredients first before purchasing.
Capric Caprylic Triglycerides (Coconut Oil Extract), Organic Jojoba Seed Oil, Organic Sunflower Seed Oil, Organic Pomegranate Seed Oil, Grapefruit Essential Oil, Sweet Orange Essential Oil, Citrus Reticulata Blanco (Tangerine) Essential Oil.

REVIEW ON CHARMZONE SAMPLES-GINGKO NATURAL FOAM CLEANSING CREAM, ALBATROSS POWDER SUN SPF41 PA++&ALBATROSS WATERFUL CC CREAM

Charmzone is a mid range Korean brand.  They are famous for their ginkgo based skincare products and mostly target people above 40 years old.

It is not a roadshop brand so it is not as popular because of the less mentioned by others.

I got to try three samples- Charmzone Gingko Natural Foam Cleansing Cream,Charmzone Albatross Powder Sun SPF41 Pa++ & Albatross Waterfull CC Cream

Here are short review on them.

GINGKO NATURAL FOAM CLEANSING CREAM, ALBATROSS POWDER SUN SPF41 PA++&ALBATROSS WATERFUL CC CREAM

1. Charmzone Gingko Natural Foam Cleansing Cream
Contains 600mg of gingko extracts
This cleansing cream's fine and rich foam cleans pores, provides moisture while cleansing, and reduces stretching and greasiness in skin with its plant extracts.
150g All skin types

Review: The cleansing cream turns into soft thick creamy foam with contact with some water.  It smells faint of fresh green plants and cleanses the skin well without irritation.  The skin is soft but not overly dry which is enjoyable.  It is a good milk cleanser for all skin type.  The price is of the higher end though.


2.  Charmzone Albatross Powder Sun SPF41 Pa++
Proves its quality with just a single use
A sunscreen which leaves you feeling soft and dry and smooth like being powdered Provides UV protection & functions as a makeup base
Can be used on all skin types.
70ml
All skin types

Review:  It has titanium dioxide and zinc oxide.  It comes up in form of slight yellowish opaque white cream but turn into slightly powdery satin finished after a minute on contact with the skin.  The satin feeling does last few hours under the cc cream and this sunscreen doesn't cause the makeup to pile on the skin.  There is a slight white cast on the skin if I am not wearing foundation.  It smell of perfume which disappeared once I top something on top.
It is a good sunscreen if it is not for the fact that I am easily irritated by the titanium dioxide in it.


3. Charmzone Albatross Waterfull CC Cream
Contains 30% birch sap
Two functions in one touch: skin care & makeup
30 g
Can be used on all skin types.

Review: It has titanium dioxide and zinc oxide.  This is supposed to care for skin while providing some for of coverage for the skin.  It has birch sap which is hydrating to the skin and protect the skin from wrinkles and premature ageing.
It comes out in very light brownish cream since it is a CC cream and you are supposed to use the finger to go in a circle until the colour turn.  It was still a shade lighter than my skin tone so I don't particular like it.

Skin does feel moisturise but I guess the cc cream is more suitable for dry skin type than mine.  The coverage is light so scars can be seen through the cc cream.  It has a perfume smell to it to but the smell disappeared after 30minutes or more.

Overall, since I only get to try three things, I think I will try the cleanser which I think is great if I have to choose among the three samples that I have tried.  The other two samples are just not suitable for my skin that don't work well with titanium dioxide.



Products are available online at Lazada, Sasa and also in Isetan KLCC, Malaysia.

KOREAN SKINCARE TIPS 3

Beauties,

I am really excited to share with you on some skincare tips I got from watching some of the Korean beauty shows.  Some of it are really useful and I have personally tried it myself.  For the past months, I have been under the weather and thus fewer posts XP. (lack of motivation)

Along that, I was actually thinking if anyone cares at all.  I think I wouldn't still be writing if not for readers who say they love, care and find my blog helpful.  Thank you again for patronising my blog and also leave comments.

So, while I feel motivated to write, I decided to share this skincare tips.  I already wrote about skincare tip and skincare tips2 so do check it out.


I am horrible in doing makeup and that is the reason I care more about using skincare products and the techniques.  I prefer to go out bare face than do the 'no makeup look'.



1.  The whitening pack mask-using powered red beans+ water and leave it on the face for 30 minutes.

2.  The cleansing- add aloe vera to the foam cleanser for a better clean and calm the acne/trouble skin.

3. Apple mask-apply the grated apple on the skin for 2minutes to peel the skin.  sensitive skin can wash of after 1min

4. Vitamin C- use vitamin C serum after the peeling. some use the vitamin C from body shop.  I love this Vitamin C serum from Korea.use vitamin at night or you will risk getting pigmentation and dark spots.

5.  Massage your face and neck for better absorption of skincare.

6.  Beer for soaking your feet to remove dead skin

7.  You can actually mix two types of cleanser for better cleansing.  Saw the girl actually mix a pore cleanser with a hydrating cleanser.

8.  Vitamin E doesn't really help with the scars.  Some people can get irritated by it.



It is just sharing here.  Opinions expressed here are my own and honest as always.

REVIEW ON SWISS LINE CELL SHOCK WHITE INVISIBLE VEIL SPF 50 PA++

Living in the equator means summer all the year around. Being exposed to the harmful sun rays can cause many skin problems in the future. In Asia, using sunblock or sunscreen is a must even if you feel that your skin is tan enough or you do not mind being darker. It is not the questions of having dark or fairer skin but to care for the biggest organ-skin.


However, not all the sunscreen and sunblock are equal. Do read HERE to know the list of approved sunscreens by the FDA.


Here is the new Cell Shock White Invisible Veil Spf 50 Pa++ I received. This sunscreen is specially formulated for Asian skin type. Living here meaning we have to use high sunscreen and I can say SPF30 just doesn’t protect my skin from burning. How can I apply sunscreen every 30minutes without looking like a weirdo?


So, Asian typically uses sunscreen that is around 45 to 50 SPF as well PA++. We also look for light texture sunscreen because everything heavy clogged our pores and prevent us from having flawless skin.

CELL SHOCK WHITE INVISIBLE VEIL SPF 50 PA++

CELL SHOCK WHITE INVISIBLE VEIL SPF 50 PA++

Swiss line, anti aging Swiss skincare brand with combines proud heritage in the cellular therapy a paramedical approach to beauty introduced the Total Lift Day Cream SPF 20 to join the Cell Shock collection, a results oriented , cellular anti aging skincare collection launched in 1995. Cell Shock White Invisible SPF50 is the newest to join the Cell Shock White collection, an anti aging skincare collection designed to keep the skin pigment light.


A light weight essence that can be use alone or over any moisturizer to shield the face, neck, décolleté and hands. It offers UVB protection with FDA approved ingredients, Octocrylene. This high versatile products is packaged in a white tottle bottle, designed to stand on its head.


It is for those who want to shield their skin from the sun but does not want to lighten the skin, in contrast with Cell Shock White Bi-Phase Lightening Veil SPF35( which will remain in the assortment). It is silicone-free, mineral oil free and alcohol free formula was developed for Swiss Line in Japan.


Key Actives

INVISIBLE UV COMPLEX 

A combination of broad spectrum UVA and UVB filters including the FDA approved Octyl Methoxycinnamate provide a significant sunblock yet remain invisible on the skin. To enhance the dispersion of the filters some are encapsulated into micro sponges that offer a better and more even distribution on the skin’s surface together with fantastic weightless feeling.


DUAL WHITE COMPLEX

This potent complex is comprised of a pharmaceutical grade isolated fraction of licorice and an extract of the Japanese cherry tree leaf. The two combined extracts grant an anti inflammatory effect because of the inhibition of the histamine releases and whitening effect achieved by the accelerated melanogenesis. This way not only the dark pigments are addressed but also the red pigments present in erythema, a UV induced reaction.

INGREDIENTS FOR CELL SHOCK WHITE INVISIBLE VEIL SPF 50 PA++

CELL SHOCK WHITE INVISIBLE VEIL SPF 50 PA++

Sunscreen can last you for 6months =) .

CELL SHOCK WHITE INVISIBLE VEIL SPF 50 PA++

It has a small booklet inside on details about the Cell Shock range and the sunscreen.

CELL SHOCK WHITE INVISIBLE VEIL SPF 50 PA++

CELL SHOCK WHITE INVISIBLE VEIL SPF 50 PA++

The tube is white and it is beautiful.  Love the white and silver design.  The colour doesn't fade or turn yellowish.  Swiss line really put effort into their products.

CELL SHOCK WHITE INVISIBLE VEIL SPF 50 PA++

It has screw kind of lid to prevent products spilling which I think is really thoughtful.

CELL SHOCK WHITE INVISIBLE VEIL SPF 50 PA++

Make sure you shake the sunscreen really well before using it.  The sunscreen should look like emulsion.  If water came out, then you have not shake it well.

I have been using this sunscreen for about 3 weeks and I can say that I love it.  The sunscreen has a light fragrance which I do like.  Cell Shock white Invisble SPF50 is really invisible on my skin which I really like because it doesn't coloured my skin nor make me look too white.  Some sunscreens will cause a greyish white cast on my face but not this sunscreen!  The sunscreen is like a very light moisturiser which dry down matte and doesn't make my face look oily at all.  It doesn't disrupt your makeup too.  No one even know I am wearing sunscreen.


Overall, it is a good sunscreen which just like the name 'veil'-it protect the skin but it is really light and I can't feel it once I applied it on my skin.  It does its job and doesn't clog the pores.  I can't think of a reason not to like it except that price which can be shocking.  It is a luxury Swiss brands and that is understandable given that it is has the same quality as other high end brands.

The jar is made from glass. It is quite sturdy and heavy.  The vintage design has a nice warm feeling to it.

Aloe Vera is an ingredient known to heal skin and it is used since ancient Egypt. However, do check if you have allergic to aloe vera. I can’t use fresh aloe vera from the plant itself so I prefer the one already processed.


PHB Skin Restore Gel has a nice calming citrus smell to it. The texture of the gel feels more like pudding which is very light with a cooling effect even without refrigerating it. The gel dries down really fast without any stick feeling!

PHB SKIN RESTORE GEL ALOE VERA

One can use the PHB Skin Restore Gel to calm sunburn or redness on the skin which is especially effective.  Just apply it thick on the face as face mask to reduce the redness on the face. After all it is organic and one jar can last quite a few months.  I think it is something that every house should have for emergency incase of burn or even sunburn.

SKINCARE TIPS: SKIN DIET, WHAT TO DO?

People always talking about diet diet and diet.  Do you know what is skin diet?

Someone said I love to use *what to do* so that is why I have to make my trademark. *shy*  Hope you do not mind it my dear readers.

While I am not a supporter of eating pills or something to beautify my skin, I do go on a skin detox or skin diet after a harsh time.

Recently, my skin was not in a good condition after a week of celebration with eating so much of processed food, cookies, peanuts, beers, high protein but without enough vegetables. Side effect of it? I breakouts, redness and had oily skin with dry patches all over.

Yeah, right after my skin was just good enough to see the daylight. If you experience something like me, it is probably time to look after it.

Don’t be scared, I don’t do anything drastic such as going for extreme measures such as one food diet or not eating anything at all. You could probably incorporate or adapt some of the method for your daily.



1. Drink 8 glasses of water daily. Drink more in the morning and noon.  Try to reduce the liquid intake at night to avoid bloating.

2. Drink two or three cups of pure warm green tea. Cold one doesn't really work.

3. Each and munch lots of fruits that contain high vitamin C and minerals. Don’t turn them into juice.

4. Eat plain greek yogurt. No sugar in it.

5. No red meat for the whole week.

6. Eat food high in Omega 3 such as fishes.

7. Avoid everything processed ( for examples: burger, fries, cookies, candy, sweets, can drinks, dairy , sugar)

8. No fried stuffs.

9. No alcohol.

10. Try a detox bath-Epsom salt and lemongrass oil.

11. Use masks daily.  If you love DIY mask, try ingredients such as yogurt, tomatoes, rice or aspirin.

12. I like to go free without makeup for a week.  Well, you don't have to force yourself.

13. No smoking. Duh, don’t smoke forever.


So do you any of the above to care for your skin?

MY FAVOURITE PRODUCTS IN 2014

2014 marks the second year I started blogging and while I am still searching for the ‘miracle’ of all products, it also marks the changes towards my skin condition and also my age. Much to say while I don’t look like it, I am moving towards looking for anti aging skincare that can also help combating acne.  These two are my main concerns. *Sigh* adding another problem to my life?

The sudden changes in weather can just turn my skin super dry and red. My breakouts normally appear at the hair line or jaw line. However, compare to when I was younger, my skin now is way better and who wants to turn back time to where my skin was so bad?

I am wiser in choosing my skincare products now. So enough with the babble about myself and let’s move to what I like in 2014. There is no particular order in what I like and If you want to try out the products, do check out the reviews and if you have the same skin type as mine.
