Going all natural

in beauty,personal opinion,review

I had enough buying skincare from branded brands. So far I’ve tried SKII, Clinique, Biotherm, Dermalogica dan aku juga telah try Felisa okkkkkkkkk tapi mukaku tetap begitu, berjerawat and flaky. Ugh revolting. Not only they provided me so-so results but they are pricey too. Itu pun aku belum try La Mer and La Praire, bila nak try mesti hesitate pasal harga dia ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, bayar dengan bulu boleh? Kalaulah muka aku tetap sama, memangla akan ku carutkan.

Same goes with make up. Dulu I was very satisfied with Stila punya foundation and compact but I guess my skin is getting matured, it can’t tolerate Stila anymore [exceptI still love their lipshine]. Tried Chanel and MAC, brand yang jual dekat pharmacy jangan ceritala, of coursela aku ada try haha. Gagal juga. MAC was not ok. The coverage is goodla but bloody bloody, aku rasa muka aku lemas dan tebal. Chanel was ok cuma my skin condition is not so good [thanks to tobacco, fatty food, preservatives and bla..blaa] hence left me wondering, why should I abuse my skin anymore?

I need something that is more natural, something vegan would be perfect.

And then I found two wonderful shops at Etsy, Noirliliana Natural and Organic Products and The All Natural Face.

I bought my skincare from Noirliliana and I tell you, I just love the feeling especially knowing that her products are all natural. I mean my skin is very sensitive that kadang-kadang certain cream or even toner adalah memedihkan but her products provides comfort to my skin. I love her soothing toner because it is bloody soothing and smell great [ of lavender and I love lavender]. I also love her sensitive facial lotion. I needed a good moisturizer, a thick yet not oily while doing a great job soothing my flaky sisik ikan skin and now I found it already :D . I didn’t buy any facial cleanser sebab the current one banyak lagi, tak elok membazir. Checheche.

Tak payah aku berusah-susah nak pergi drive, carik parking dan kene con beli barang lain dengan salesperson padahal aku nak beli satu barang je. Dan murah!

I have only been using her skincare for few days, itupon aku dah rasa happy but I hope her products will bring more wonders. Macam tiba-tiba besok aku bangun tengok cermin sambil berkata “Eh, ni Chics ke Catherine Zeta Jones ni?”

Haha. OK I know, you don’t have to say it.

She is also very patient in handling all my questions and ohh she provided me with free samples too. Satu tektik yang bijak sebab now after tying her products and sample, aku berasa gatal hendak membeli produk-produk dia yang lain.

Bagaimanakah?

As for the second shop, she is more into make up. Great thing about her shop is, you can buy samples before trying and sample dia boleh tahanla jugak amountnya takdela sikit sangat. Lebih dari sekali pakai. Her products all mineral and vegan, which I love. I bought 23 samples of her mineral foundations, okla. tak belila, the samples are free but I had to pay for the shipping fee yet she was one generous etsier that she gave me heaps of free samples. From concealer, to glow, to blusher and even to few eyeshadows.

Dahla dapat banyak freebies kan, her products are phenomenal okkkkkkkkkkkkkkk. And I am not kidding, even my bedmate also say “Hey your face doesn’t look wax-ish anymore. Nice.” Walaupon aku berasa keji terhadap word “wax-ish” dia tu tapi hidung aku tetap kembang.

The foundation is very light and the veil gave a perfect sheer looking coverage. If you can’t find any sample that suit you, she will be happy to mix new colours for you until you are satisfied. That’s what happen to me. Aku tak jumpa kaler yang sesuai dengan kulit aku,so dia buat lain kaler and send it for free! The samples I mean.

But most of all, I love her glow. Aku ni tak reti mana ntah nak sapu glow, so aku sapu as the base layer of my blusher and put the free blusher on top.

The result, a healthy glow. A must buy.

I mean, I am so tired with thick make up and hers gave me a very subtle and simple look tetapi with good coverage. Another thing, usually kalau aku pakai brand lain, mesti terkena baju or comot, berminyak apala but not this one. And the best thing, is bloody cheap compared to the other brands. I bought my foundation set that consist of 1 mineral foundation, I mineral veil and I mineral concealer with a vegan kabuki and vegan concealer brush for USD37 which is about RM134. I mean for three products with 2 brushes, sangat murahla kan.

Suke tauuuuuuuuuuuuuu.

Cuma satu jela yang aku tak suka, delivery adalah lama. 2 minggu. Bayangkan keresahan aku menunggu.

Lamanyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

P.S: I will be baking cornflakes cookies for a friend this Tuesday, siapa nak join order marilah. Email me or leave your oder at the comment box.

      You pergi dekat link tu and browse barang dia, kalau takde you send email dekat seller, macam tak semua brush ada so you have to ask. And even if you want to know anything tanya je, she will entertain you. Bila dah pilih follow the payment step tapi kene ada paypal untuk bayar. Kalau takde make a new account.

      To be on the safer side, beli sample dulu. Dah puas hati, beli saiz besar.

  • ann

    • http://www.chicsinred.com/blog chics

      Thank you terima kasih kepada photoshop juga hahahaaaaaaaaaa

  • Umi

    Chics..brand ape make up tu? yg dekat theallnaturals tu? klu ikut description yg ko bagi set make up die sebijik mcm bareminerals punye (http://www.bareminerals.com/). Ade mineral veil, kabuki brush sume. Bare mineral ni mmg famous pun..aku pun pakai and never look back..dah setahun lebih dah..segala masalah kulit sensitip pun hilang…cuma x as convinient as normal compact powder la..

    Cume just make sure la yg theallnatural tu bukan ciplak bare minerals..

    • http://www.chicsinred.com/blog chics

      @Umi,

      Haah dia sama macam bare minerals la tapi dia personal brand bukan ciplakla. She make and mix her own stuff. Aku prefer dia sebab more personal, she answer all my questions personally and dia akan dapatkan exactly apa yang aku nak. She will blend and mix things for you until you are satisfied.

      Tapi yekan, tak covinient but still dari pakai mekap rasa lemas, sanggup okeh

  • ilin

    weh aku masih blur2 sotong niiii yg mekap tu bareminerals ke? aku pon pakai skang.. memang bestt.. light gile! la mer adalah bagus kalau kulit muka ko kering tapi kalo berminyak2 macam aku tak payah laaa mmg tak jalan. aku suker la kening kauuu!

    • http://www.chicsinred.com/blog chics

      Bukan nyahh dia independent brand. Aku nak beli bare mineral tak tahu kaler, salah belikan macam taikla plak dahla aku macam rabun warna sikit. Seller ni kasi tester sampai 23 kaler ok and kalau tak fit dia akan blend kan sampai fit. Sesuai untuk kulit getik macam aku haha. Tapi best kan nyah? [statement jakun haha]

      Yela, kulit aku kan kejap kering sampai flaky kejap berminyak macam kesial ok. Penat aku lukis kening tu ok sampai juling mata aku nak ukur.
