DURIAN THE KING OF FRUITS OF SOUTHEAST ASIA

If you are up for a challenge, then do consider putting this into your list to try in the future when you are visiting Southeast Asia next time.  There is no middle ground for this fruit.  You either love it or hate it to the core.  There is no such thing as growing to love it.  This is how this fruits work.  I have never heard someone who said they grow to love it or grow to hate it.

It is a fruit of Love at first Taste or Loathe at first Taste.  I saw this hilarious representation of this King of fruits that it is so stinky that it melted all the clothes and everything from 20km away.  While this fruit is not going to melt away anything, I can't possibly send it to any country because this is going to be deemed as weapon of destruction.

Just look at those thorns and the smell are sure getaway for the custom to think that I am sending you some sort of mass weapon!

The fruit is thorny and Yes, you can kill someone with it. It is heavy.

There are many food made with this King of fruits-donuts, ice cream, cookies, chocolates, cakes and even mooncake.  Unfortunately, if you hate it then you are sure to have your head spinning every time you came across Durians.

I am lucky to like it or else I think I will be suffering when my family members or anyone eats Durians.  Durian is not something that you can hide the smell so the house next door can smell it.  If you like the smell, it smells like creamy sweet flowery jam but if you hate, it sure smell like rotten garbage truck.  I don't have any ideas how the mechanics of smells works for Durians but that is how it is. A friend who hate it at the first sight puke non stop for the whole night after eating a little of the flesh.

The flesh really depends on the varieties of Durians.  It is not a cheap stuff here even if you hate it.  The Musang King (Fox King) varieties is so expensive that I can't afford it with my poor pay.  It is not easy to get it too as it is mostly exported to Hong Kong and to China.  Musang King got its name from being very cunning. It did kill someone by dropping the fruits on top of someone's head.  You can only collect the fruits at night.

 There are some rules to eating this fruit.  You are supposed to drink some water from the rind of the Durian fruits to avoid having fever which is true.  Avoid it when you are having fever or headaches or else it will make it worse.  People who have a cold or is always having cold feet is very much welcome to eat it because it will cure the cold instantly.  It is considered a hearty fruits for those who have a 'cold' body if you can eat it without puking non stop.  Also, do not eat this fruit while drinking alcoholic drink or you will just die of heart attack if you are unlucky.

A fruit eaten to avoid vampire since you need a wooden stake to open the fruits.  *I am just joking*  It is hilarious to cut through Durian with a big saw.

So, here is the fruit of the season of Durians.  Have you eaten this King of Fruits?  Do you have a fruit that you like to eat?

RM40 for three medium size Durian.

REVIEW ON JUNGLE BOTANICS NATURAL BODY GLOW NUTSHELL SCRUB

Jungle Botanics is a natural brand that currently offer hair care and body care.  Their products are from natural sources .  This is brand by Wishtrend .

The design does remind me of the rainforest, the Amazon which is known for keeping many wonderful natural ingredients.  I wonder if it will make me feel like an Amazonian women coming back after battle for pampering. XD


I know that there is hardly any reviews on Korean body products on my blog XD.  So, to makeup for that, here is a review on them.

So, what I have here for review is their Jungle Botanics Natural Body Glow Nutshell Scrub .

but gently exfoliates and purifies, leaving your skin healthy, smooth, and glowing.

Round-cut Nutshell Granules. At first glance, the nutshell granules look like ordinary grains of sand. When you take a closer look, you will see the porous surface of the granules.

The tube has a beautiful design to it and it is easy to dispense product out of the tube.  The plastic tube is sturdy and it is safe even if you accidentally drop it onto the floor.

The Jungle Botanics Body Glow Nutshell Scrub smells perfume mix with slight coconut oil.  I find that the brown grains is really tiny and doesn't cut or hurt my skin unless you scrub the bodyreally hard with it. It washes off easily with water.

The scrub is made for dry skin since cleanses the skin like a body shampoo and is not rough.  It does removes the dry flakes and kept me from having back acne.  Although there are many ingredients that can clog the skin but since it is wash off, it won't be a problem since there are many moisturising ingredients in it.  There are many plants ingredients too so do check if there is something that you can't use at all.

The Jungle Botanics Natural Body Glow Nutshell Scrub smells wonderful is great for summer and for those that needs exfoliation before wearing swim wears that reveals their legs.  You still need to use a body lotion after using the scrub to seal in moisture =) .

Overall, it is great gift for people to love pampering, natural and body products.

This is the look of the mask after it dried up.




The sheet mask itself is black.  The sheet is of thin, soft, plush and adhere to the face without sliding around. The viscous clear essence has a light floral scent to it.  The essence doesn't drip onto my neck which is good.  The sheet mask is cooling on my face even when I do not put inside the fridge which is really good because of the hot humid weather here.  It does fit my face well but the sheet mask size is made for smaller face.  I wore the mask for 30 minutes without the silicone mask and it is still wet when I removed it.  The essence does dry quite fast after I removed it.  The black sheet mask doesn't leave residue of black stuff on my face which is great.

The mask does calm my face and makes my skin more bright.  Please excuse my lines and my eyebags.  The effect is better if used continuously.
There description of their top ingredients on the box are useful since the ingredients in this mask are the three top ingredients on the ingredients list.

Kaolin are for cleansing the pores, Chamomilla Recutita Flower Extract (Organic) for balancing moisture level and Leontopodium Alpinum Extract (Organic) for repairing dry skin.  Arbutin which is the fourth ingredient is for whitening.  Since it contains hyaluronic acid (sodium hyaluronate), it helps to plump up the skin.  It is quite low in the list but still do look into the ingredients.

Overall, I will get this mask again because it is really affordable and the ingredients are great.  It is an interesting black mask for cleansing the pores, whitening and for moisturising the skin. If you have dry skin but still wanted something with kaolin to help clean the skin, then do look into this mask.  Just wear this when no one is around or else you might just scared someone. XD

REVIEW ON KICHO SHEEP OIL CREAM


BWEEP bip bip BWEEP  *sound of Beauty police' car*

"Raise your hand above your head... !" said the Police while pointing a gun at me.

"No, I didn't kill Mary the sheep for the cream on my face. T_T  Don't put me in the jail!"


Lucky, there is no sheep kill for this Kicho sheep oil cream else I will feel guilty for using them.

Kicho Sheep Oil Cream is made from lanolin.  Lanolin is a fatty substance found naturally in sheep's wool.  It is yellowish viscously thick wax that can be made into other products.  So, there is NO sheep are killed to make beauty products.

High pure grades of lanolin produced by complex purification techniques suits sensitive skin such as eczema and be made into nipple cream.

One of the secret makeup artist tips is to use nipple cream which is actually lanolin.  Now, you do not have to use the sticky stuff on your face.  This Kicho Sheep Oil cream is the same minus the sticky uncomfortable feeling.


Kicho Sheep Oil cream

There is a cardboard box which is beautifully decorated which is really beautiful.  It is not easy to take out the cardboard box.  The jar has a very beautiful aluminum embossed with the name of the product and the design > <.  It is a glass jar so be careful in handling it.  There are instructions in English and details about the product in English.  The ingredients are in Hangyul though.

The cream has really good ingredients and is free from T.E.A, artificial scents, mineral oil, isopropyl alcohol, paraben, urea, heavy metals and formaldehyde. However, do check the ingredients because there are many plants extract, beeswax, silicone, shea butter and oils.

If you do have any problems with ingredients list, then this is a really good moisturiser since it has a lot of moisturising ingredients such as ceramide, hyaluronic acid, plant oils and shea butter. The cream smells of lemon mix together with chlorine which I can only tolerate because the smells disappeared after 10 minutes.  The yellowish cream is soft and application of the cream is so easy.  It is not sticky and feels really light on my skin.  In fact, my skin is so soft that I feel like touching it every second XD .  The moisture lasted on my skin even hours after application which is really good since I don't want to be applying moisturiser every few hours.

The cream soothe my skin and prevent it from moisture loss which is great since I use it at night as a night cream.  According to research, lanolin is superior to petrolatum reducing dryness, scaling, cracks, roughness, abrasions, pain and itch.  This is sure for me because application of pure petroleum jelly will just clog my pores.  Besides, it has the nearest composition as the human stratum corneum lipids which is essential to bind water to the skin.  It is also makes a great primer for makeup.

Overall, I will recommend this to dry, aging skin type, damaged skin barrier or during winter where moisture get lost easily. Not recommend if your skin is clogged prone to the ingredients in the list.

The bottle is made from heavy glass so be careful during handling it.  I really like the packaging as light blue reminds me of the water (rain).  The pump makes it easy to pump out the correct amount of essence which is good because it is hygienic. The essence came out in form of vicious light blue liquid which is easy to absorb.

It does have the same hanbang smell as the cream which doesn't linger on the face for too long. The smell gets lighter and disappeared after few minutes.  It absorb into the skin leaving a smooth feeling and plumps up the skin.  No sticky feeling or left a film on the skin.

There is slight variations of ingredients with the Hansaeng Cosmetics Rin Bi-gyeol soo cream but it does contain the same hanbang ingredients. There are many ingredients for anti-ageing, for brightening and hydration.  Niacinamide and plant ingredients which the fermented Lactobacillus/Panax Ginseng Root Ferment Filtrate are two of their main ingredients.
While the ingredients don't irritate my skin, still do look have a look into the ingredients that I painstakingly typed them out.  There are silicone, hyaluronic acid and vitamin E in the list which can be a good of bad thing for some people.  Dry skin type will appreciate the moisturising ingredients in it.

Overall, this essence will suit someone looking for anti ageing products but not willing to try heavy cream.  It is moisturising on it's own. Also for those who love hanbang and the feels of luxurious essence on your vanity.
