Ume Skin Analyzer Review

Ever wander how is your skin condition? Is the skin dry or oily and izzit healthy ? Usually by knowing this, we can only determine what skin care products can help to improve our skin and have healthy skin. 

I know that my skin is very oily but don't know what's causing it. I can only check my skin condition with the skin analyzer machine at the skin care counter when I'm buying something from the counter from time to time. :( 

TODAY....HAHA..I going to introduce to you and do a simple review on a tool which I just bought..It's Ume skin analyzer. Its a small and cute tool that help me to analyse and understand my skin better anytime and anywhere. I order this tool from a clinic and bought it at RM 92. 

They have two colour to select. Pink and White. I bought the pink colour one Y^^Y. 

This tool is very simple to use. With just three steps, I can directly measured and know my skin water content. With this tool, it help me to understand my skin Moisture, what is the water percentage, the Oiliness (skin type) and Roughness of my skin (dead cell thickness). One thing about this skin analyzer is that I can bring it anywhere as it's very small. Another thing is that with this tool, I can know which products help my skin. I can measure the skin before applying the product and re-measured my skin again after applying the product. 

This is my skin condition. :( As you can see, it's in terrible condition. I haven been doing my mask recently. What does this measurement tell me? It's telling me my skin is very dry with only 34% of water content and my skin is rough. This is not good!!!! RED ALERT!! Need to do more mask ..

Overall I think this beauty product it's worth to invest  :).

My Trip to Bangkok

Hi Ladies..I've just come back from Bangkok. Went there for 5 days 4 night just purely shopping ^^. I know how all girls feel when it come to shopping..* EXCITING*

Bought the Airasia ticket to bangkok from Penang and it cost me around RM 600 ( two-way). It's not so cheap but that's  the only time which I can free out my time..At Bangkok, I spend most of my time at Pratunam Wholesale Market and Platinum mall. 

I went to Naraya shop at Asiatique.  Girls went crazy inside it.  It have most of the latest design. I think the bags are quite nice. I only bought two bags which i think quite nice and it cost me RM 80 for these two bags. I think its quite expensive and I'm not sure why all of them can buy till one whole big plastic bag full with Naraya bag. ==""

On the second day, we went to Central Mall. It was a HUGE mall. Didn't buy anything from the Mall as most of the things sell inside the mall are quite expensive. 

We went to Oshi Grand Buffet for our dinner. If not mistaken, the price per person is around 700THB which is way cheaper than Baiyoke Sky buffet. The things that attract me is the Haagen Dazs ice cream. They have quite a few choice for you to choose. There's one section which you can choose which vege, fish and meat you like for stir fry and steam. I like the Thai Steam Fish. 

Here's some of the pictures I taken at Terminal 21. Didn't  bought anything from there as I think its more to branded and design store though some appear to be cheap. The only interesting things at Terminal 21 is the building concept only. It have different concept for each floor. We spend time walking thru each floor. 

Those who prefer shopping for cheap and nice clothes, I highly recommend these two places ( Pratunam Market and Platinum Mall). You can bargain a bit on the price. If would be much more cheaper if you buy in wholesale ( usually 3 pcs either same design or can you can mixed the design). It depends on the shops. These are the items which I buy from Pratinum Market and Platinum mall. Total damage approximately 2500 THB. T.T. The earring are suppppper cheap.
I end my bangkok with trip with all these loots :)

Trip to Phuket

Just looking thru my photo and found some photos which I took it during my honeymoon trip to Phuket. I would like to share with you the hotel  which I love very much during my trip. The trip was in June 2012. We went there for 5 day 4 night. The first two night, we're staying at The Sea Patong. The environment is clean and quiet. We mention that it's our honeymoon trip. They help to decorate our room with roses :) They offer pickup from airport to hotel. All these can included inside when you purchase the package. 

On our last two night, we're staying at Metadee Resort Villa. I like this place so much. Here's a few photo of the villa which we're staying at. We book for one-bedroom villa with pool access from Booking.com. The price for one night is approximately RM  600. I LOVE the bedroom design. The room is fill is relaxing lemon grass aroma scent. They have the jazz music playing in the room. I will definitely come back to this resort again.

Makeup Book by Pony

Hi gals..It' been a while since my last post. Anyway today i'm going to introduction a few books which I would like to highly recommend it to you all. I find it very helpful for those who are learning makeup. These are great book as inside, it teach us how to make up with step by step pictures and a copy of cd with video illustration.

Every time she launch a new volume, i would definitely buy it. I usually buy it at Popular bookstore. To get cheaper price, you need to buy it during its new launching period which we can buy it at approximately RM 35 with the Popular member 15% discounted price. After the launching is over, the price will hike up to approximately RM 46. So every once a while, I will surely drop by Popular bookstore to check whether there's any new volume out. :) 

Here's the sneak peak of the books. There're step by step picture illustration so that you can easily understand. It even mention what makeup items she use to achieve this look. This is one of the look from her which I like it very much. It focus on eye makeup.

Below are some of the makeup looks which she going to teach in one of her books.

Maybelline Clear Smooth BB Stick Review

Hello all..Good Morning..Last month was a busy month for me with Chinese new year coming along, spend most of my time cleaning up my house during the weekends. As you all know, during Chinese new year, we ( especially girl and ladies) want to look pretty :)  and these are the time where most of us would do some make-up to look nice. 

Today I'm going to introduce a product which I found favourite in, " Maybelline Clear Smooth BB Stick". I get to know this product when I went back home town for CNY and saw my sister bought one. She never really try it out. I was curious so I open it up and try it on my skin. I was surprised by the texture of this product. From the outlook, the texture look creamy, so my first thought without trying is that this product going to be sticky when apply to my oily skin. But the instant I apply it to my skin, I get the powdery feel. 

It doesn't feel sticky and It's easy to blend in to my skin. I was like " WOW". I quick ask my sister to try it out. At first she was skeptical to try out but after applying and she saw the before and after on her face, she was amaze by it too. I use the stick to cover up her dark eye circle. It done a pretty good job in concealing her dark eye circles. 

So once I back in Penang, I directly went to Guardian to bought one myself. Maybelline Clear Smootn BB stick have two tone : Fresh and Natural. I bought Natural as I think fit more to my skin tone.  I use the stick to cover up my acne and pimples scar ;) 

Overall, I think this is a great product especially when using it to cover dark eyes circle and acne scar. ♥♥♥

Till Then

Cute Baby Booties

Hi everyone...How is your first day of the week? Hope you all have a nice time last weekend. 

For me, I've been busying setting my facebook Store Page. I've started making some DIY stuff. At first it started as a gift for my niece. She's so cute that I can't stop myself in making something for her during her trip to Penang last few weeks. I've make one pair of shoes and a headband for me. Crocheting these things really take up most of my free times :) But it was worth it. 

When she come to Penang, the first I do is to slip up the shoes to her tiny feet to see whether it fits her. It end up quite large, so I've to add a strap to keep it in tag. The headband fits her well. Here's the picture of her wearing the headband. Wasn't she adorable. :) 

Since it turns out quite ok for her, so I started to make a few  more baby booties and thought of setting up a Page store and sell some of it. I call it LullabyBaby Store. :) Feel free to drop in my Store Page.

Review Cellnique Skin Purifying Daytime Protection 20

Hello gal ^^ Wish you all Happy New Year 2013. Its starting of a brand new year. Have you all set your goal for this year? I've set mine. By end of this year, I want to achieve flawless skin. 

In order to achieve 2013 goal, I've change my skincare routine. One of the item which I added to my skincare routine is Sunblock as it protect my skin from been damaged by the sunlight when I went outdoor. All the while I never use sunblock is because I think sunblock is  too oily for my skin as I have acne prone skin and felt it would congested my skin. However after I started to use Cellnique product two month ago for my acne, I get to know  that they have sunblock product as well, Skin Purifying Daytime Protection 20. I was keen to try-out but at the same time scare it might cause more breakout.

 I asked one of my friend who used this product. Her skin is also pimple prone skin. So far she haven see any breakout from using it. So I decided to give it a try. I would like to thank Cellnique for giving me this opportunity to try out their sunblock. Here's my honest review of it.

Cellnique Skin Purifying Daytime Protection 20 come with a pump head applicator which I think is quite hygienic. I've been using this product for two week before doing this review. Throughout the two week, I don't have any severe breakout.  ( which I think this is an important point for any people that have acne skin). Apart from that one thing that amaze me is it doesn't feel heavy/appear oily on my face. 

As stated inside the product description, this product is suitable for oily, acne-prone skin. Unlike normal sunblock, this product provide the below advantages which I personally felt it 's working as what it mention. 

• Kills the bacteria P.acnes that causes acne infection.  ( Acne seems less inflame during my one week application) 
• Prevents breakouts. ( No major breakout seem during two week application)
• Reduces inflammation caused by acne.
• Anti- irritant. ( Skin doesn't appear redness after application) 

Apart from these, it work as natural foundation to cover my acne mark. Although it doesn't provide full coverage but minimum enough to make my skin look natural.  It doesn't appear greyish or felt thickish. You won't felt anything on your face.  I use one pump for whole face and only apply it during daytime. 

Overall, I'm quite satisfy with this product. Above is all my personal review and experience on the product during the two week application. Will continue using it. :)

How To Clean Makeup Sponge

Hi gals, 

I bet many of us are using makeup sponge when applying foundation and most of the time, we throw away the makeup sponge after using it  for couples of times especially for makeup artists, when they need to use makeup sponge on different people. 

Today i would like to introduce a product which i found it's really effective in cleaning our makeup sponge. Its call Daiso Detergent for Puff and Sponge. Below are the steps by steps on how I clean my makeup sponge.

After cleaning, the sponge appear like new. Remember to put the sponge to dry after cleaning. With this product, it help to prolong the sponge lifespan :) .I would still recommend to change a new sponge after 3 month depending on how frequent you using it.

Shills Dust It Powder Review

Hi ladies :) 
Hope you all have a nice weekend last week during the public holiday ;) I believe some of you went out for vacation with friends or family. During the trips, some went out for whole days hoping throughout the days, we will look greats for all the photo shooting with friends. We wake up early in the morning, wash our hair, blow dry our hair, curl our hair..doing all sort of things so that our hair look airy and voluminous. But somehow~~~~ the hair always end up limp in the middle of the days.. especially with humid weather...T.T This is what happening to me..

So I search high and low in the nets, on HOW TO VOLUMIZE HAIR .. and this is when I know about Shills Dust it Powder. I read thru a few  reviews and forum about this product. Some say good and some say it doesn't work....I bet this is what all of us do...when we want to purchase a things, we go search in the info in the internet for reviews..Then based on the reviews, come the decision..;) I found this info in the Shills website and this is what it say about the product: 

1) Creates up to 3 times your original hair volume
2)  strong-holding, long-lasting
3) Non Sticky 
4) Hold up to 48 Hours  

What tempted me the most is the before and after picture display in their website..Seems really wonderful right? So... I made a decision to try out this product. It costs me RM 55, which I think its quite expensive. T.T 

Below are my own personal review when I tryout the product. 

1) The Product claim to create 3 times original hair volume. Indeed it  can create 3 times hair volume   PROVIDED your hair is short. I've try with my shoulder length hair, I have difficulty in volumize up and styling my hair. I apply the dust to my husband short hair, it easily pump up his hair for easily styling. 

2) Strong Holding and Long lasting and Non sticky. I personally felt that when the dust is apply to the hair, it tends to get sticky. Its feels like applying wax except it's a bit drier than wax. Hair appear stiff after apply. I don't like the feeling on my hair after applying. It can last throughout the day. I would say that this is pretty much suitable for guy hair.

Overall, i would give 2 out of 5 star for the product. I would think the Babyliss Big Hair Styler did pretty much better job in volume up my hair.

Babyliss Big Hair Styler Review

Hello~~ Here I am again after MIA for a few months...Today i'm going introduce to you all one of my favourite hair styling tools " Babyliss Big Styler". I bought it last weeks from Ebay at RM 310 (including shipping fee using Royal Mail Airsure) and it just arrived yesterday. I started using it right away and totally fall in love with it..It save up all my troubles and times. 

WHY ? Because i just cut short my hair and without hair dryer and hair straightener, my hair will definitely end up like broom. Even with straightener, it still doesn't give me the look I want. Now i proud to say Babyliss Big Styler does. After using it, my hair look like I just come out from Salon. :) 

Babyliss Big Styler come with 2 heat setting and 2 rotation speeds. It is a revolutionary rotating hot air styling brush which help to add volume and shape our hair as it dry. It consists of 50mm rotating ceramic barrel which help to style up the hair style you want. 

Here's the before and after using Babyliss Big Styler. The Left hand picture is before I style my hair using Babyliss and just blow dry with hair dryier. As you can see, it doesn't help in volume up my hair and it's pretty messy. As the picture on the right hand side, I'm using big styler, it helps to make my hair more volume and soft. However it took a few times for me to master it. 

 For proper tutorial on how to use the Babyliss Big Styler, you can refer to its  official website Babyliss. 

Overall, I love this product and would like to introduce it to you all. Btw this product is not selling in M'sia. That's the reason why i order it from ebay :) Till then..

XOXO

Michelle
