Misi menyelematkan kulit muka

in advertorial,personal opinion,review

The other day the owner of Precious Me emailed me asking whether I would like to review her two latest products “Rescue Me” Precious Oil Intensive Serum and “Silk & Pearl” Luxurious Face Treatment Powder.

I was delighted because I was guilty for neglecting my skin. You see sometimes I forgot or purposely forget [hehe] to clean my face resulting some rough patches to appear at the corner of my nose.

So I agreed and the next day, these babies arrived at my door step, ok actually at my post boxlah.

Trial size -  ”Rescue Me” Precious Oil Intensive Serum [3ml] and “Silk & Pearl” Luxurious Face Treatment Powder [3gram]

She was generous enough to throw me a baby kabuki as well. Joy!

 

What I really like was, the oil was sealed carefully so tak ada setitik pun yang tumpah. I have experience buying oil based skincare dimana bila sampai dekat aku tinggal 3/4 je and the sampul sudah basah atau berminyak.

Rescue Me!

 

But don’t worry the sealer adalah amat senang untuk dibuka. Senang tapi secure.

The oil came with a dropper, jadi tak susah nak estimate berapa banyak nak guna untuk muka. For me I only used 3-4 drops.

The smell oh my God, sangat harum. After applying, my room smell so nice and even aku datang balik bau wangi itu tetap ada.

Now, Precious Me did advise me to apply some virgin oil to area yang sedikit problematic [kulit kasar etc] before applying their toner/mosturiser tapi aku selalu malas. Terasa sangat hassle nak pegi ambik olive oil tu padahal dekat je :P so dengan adanya this oil, semuanya adalah perfect.

After basuh muka with b2b flower power, I put some toner and then dabbed this oil on my face. Apa yang bestnya, this oil can also be applied dekat under eyes area, jarang nak jumpa serum yang boleh apply bawah under eyes tapi yang ini boleh.

Ok, let’s see secara brief apa kegunaan this rescue me oil.

This special blend of the purest natural oils and essential oils is formulated to come to your rescue with benefits such as:

  • Deeply Nourishing, Moisturizing & Rejuvenating Skin
  • Heals & Fades Scars
  • Soothes Sensitive Skin
  • Reduces Fine Lines & Wrinkles
  • Non-Comedogenic: Will not clog pores, making it suitable for all skin types.

For more info you can read here

Now, I told the owner that I will come back with the review in a week tapi being me, aku terlupa. Kenapa aku nak tunggu 1 week? Supaya at least sempatla oil dan powder tu menunjukkan hasil.

What do I have to say about the oil.

- Deeply Nourishing, Moisturizing & Rejuvenating Skin?

Yes! Memang menakutkan nak sapu minyak dekat muka nak-nak kulit berminyak [my skin is a combination skin btw]. I was worried samada forehead dan hidung aku akan berminyak.

But no, the moment sapu memanglah berminyak, tapi lama-lama kulit aku menyerap minyak dan menjadi moist. Even bangun tido!

-Heals & Fades Scars +Soothes Sensitive Skin

Aku tak taulah aku saiko ke apa, tapi yes. Aku rasa scar aku macam dah tak dalam sangat and less visible. Tak ada side effect bila pakai.

-Reduces Fine Lines & Wrinkles

Yang ini aku tak pasti, maybe aku banyakkkk sangat fine lines and perhaps I have to use it longer to see the result.

Selepas sapu  the rescue me oil, I waited for atleast 1 mins and then apply the “Silk & Pearl” Luxurious Face Treatment Powder.

Yelah, sebab nak kasi minyak tu diserap bebetul dulu.

Bila buka penutup, rupanya begini.

So it is very useful to have a kabuki brush.

To me, this powder reminded me of mineral veil yang aku selalu pakai cuma this powder is ultra refined dan very translucent, so you don’t have to worry yang muka kau akan menjadi tepung gomak.

You dip a bit and you tap it dekat bibir powder tu so bila sapu dekat muka takdela bertaburan sangat bedak tu jatuh. This powder feels very light and you barely notice it’s there.

Sebab itula pakai masa nak tidur pun ok, plus it doesn’t clog your pores. Malah it makes it smaller – yang aku noticelah.

Tak pun pakai under your normal face powder, so kira macam jadi baselah.

Its benefits include:

  • Smooth & Supple Skin Texture
  • Keeps skin looking young and dewy soft – an ancient anti-aging Chinese beauty secret
  • Absorbs excess oils while moisturizing your skin at the same time
  • Gives a sheer, radiant glow to your skin
  • Reduces skin irritation
  • Reduces skin pigmentation, thereby promoting a more even skin tone
  • Natural sun protection

To me it does all it says especially the young and dewy soft. Dan tak tahu kenapa aku rasa macam muka sudah tidak kusam. Selalunya macam benci muka bila bangun tidur tapi sekarang takdela benci sangat [wtfla?]

Yang pigmentation tu belum, kene pakai lama kot, baru pakai seminggu lebih, what do you expect kan?

No make up at all

This is me with no make up at all and only with photoshopped eyebag [part ni memang failla :(], yang lain tak photoshop.

I like the way my skin glows and pipi macam merah sikit [perasan gila tapi pegi mampusla kan hehe]. I know that I don’t have much skin problem by selalunya gambar tanpa mekap aku agak kusam dan boleh nampak scar dengan ketara juga tapi yang ini scar dia tak nampak sangat . Maybe korang tak perasanla tapi sebagai seorang yang vain, scar walaupun kecik aku sangatla perasaan [sambil menekan butang dekat photoshop haha].

 

So if you are interested to buy or looking for some remedy to your degil skin, click to Precious Me blog here.

Jika berasa tak sure, boleh beli yang sample punya dulu.

 

Overall, I am very satisfied dan happy.

Chenta ganda 53  kali *bunyik guruh.

 

Adakah saya akan membelinya?

Of course!

Bunga untuk muka, hatiku berbunga juga!

in review

I am a very picky when it comes to my skincare products.

Scratch that.

I am very picky when it comes to almost everything, including skincare products.

I have no faith anymore in sexpensive branded products because they won’t do me any good. Baiklah yang ada air beras ke, yang letak air tebu ke, novelle whatever ke semuanya tak sesuai.

Previously I was using this one brand handmade brand [vegan] from this one amazing seller Noirliliana. Her products were great. My kulit ular skin has turned into a normal human skin in few weeks.

Turned out to be, my skin cannot tolerate chemicals and Idon’tknowwhattheyputinside ingredients on commercial skincare anymore.

But.

The products and the shipping especially were quite costly especially when some of the items tertumpah during shipment. Plus, I had to wait for weeks to receive my products. Imagine bila aku last minute tersedar skincare dah habis, mau tak menggelupur nak tunggu 2-3 weeks.

And then I saw a facebook update from Precious Me. I used to adore her sugar body scrub and was sad when she told me she was no longer carrying that product.

Jadi apabila I found out that they came out with new products yang merupakan skincare, I was sexcited. And kene pulak masa tu, my skincare memang sudah nyawa-nyawa ikan.

The friendly owner immedietely  shipped out my items and I got them within 1-2 days.

"FLOWER POWER" 3-in-1 Facial Cleansing Powder and mosturiser cum toner

Flower power adalah kerana the cleanser are made from mixtures of flowers and herbs.

Excuse the bottles yang tak semenggah itu, dah basah-basah kene air. I waited for weeks to snap the pictures and came out with the review sebab err..err aku pemalas.

The original condition of the packaging was superb. Will explain them later.

Ok, yes, this is 3-1 facial cleanser. It a cleanser, scrub and mask at the same time. As for the longer bottle with brownish liquid, it is another combination goodness, toner and mosturiser in one bottle.

Perfect untuk seorang pemalas macam aku and also for those

a) who travel a lot – less things to pack

b) who are very busy – no time to go through so many regime.

The cleanser came in with a sturdy matte looking glass. Being me, dah berapa kali botol ni jatuh atas lantai sebab tertepis dan terlanggar akibat menggelupur and I am happy to report, tiada crack yang berlaku.

As for the mosturiser/toner it came with a pump.

Pump

Senang nak guna, tekan and sapu. And tiada tumpahan. The packaging was made from plastic.

The interesting part of all was, the cleanser adalah dalam bentuk serbuk instead of liquid, which is good sebab I don’t have to worry adakah facial celanser aku akan tumpah bila travel and it’s hygenic [mold dan bacteria tidak boleh bertapak dengan pesat]

At first adalah terbangak- bangak camana nak guna cleanser ni. But as advised, lama-lama I get the hang out of it.

 

I have this measuring spoons for facial use so I took the smallest spoon and fill the half of it with the cleanser.

Letak dekat tangan and titikkan beberapa titis air mawar. Kalau takde air mawar air biasa pun boleh. Love the smell and  if you see the serbuk bertukar kaler to purplish red, don’t freak out, that’s normal.

Then blend it jadi paste. I think the thickness depends on you. I prefer it not to be too thin and runny.

Lumur [gently ok!] satu muka avoiding the eyes area. Macam nama dia, ianya juga bertindak macam scrub, sambil dia cleanse dia scrub sekali.

Bila rajin boleh juga buat mask tapi setakat ni aku tak rajin lagi hehe.

Gila layan ok masa buat ni, dahla bau wangi.

After rasa dah cukup rata and bersih, rinse.

And then apply the toner/mosturiser.

Now the mosturiser came in 3 different types, depending on your skin. Make sure to check the blog and notify them on your skin type. Like me, aku konfus skin aku camana so I consult her and she suggested the right mosturiser/toner for me.

Oh, I also love the smell. Soothing and calming.

 

After cleansing.

Notice how often I put my makeless face on this blog now? Yes, sebab my skin looks better these days. No shit.

And the roughness adalah berkurangan.

I love this stuff and I am hoping they will continue the discontinued body scrub and come out with shampoo + conditioner and remedy for eyebags and dark circle.

Pretty pleaseeeeeee.

 

Anyway.

My verdict: Love it!

Will I repurchase: Yes!

Birthday dinner at Ayers Rock, Bukit Jelutong.

by chics on Wednesday, 2 March 2011 - 12 am · 6 comments

in family,food,review

Aie was very kind and generous [kene puji sikit hehe] to belanja us all at Ayers Rock, Bukit Jelutong to celebrate emak’s birthday.

I’ve read about this place form rumet’s blog and had told emak about it, tapi masa tu mak layan tak layan aku je. Tapi when her friends tetibe bercerita, baru dia beriya nak pergi.

Birthday girl dapat hadiah

Mak punya favourite food adalah steak, kalau selama ni suka sangat pergi Victoria so kali ni try kedai ni pulak.

Brooch yang cantik from Lyn and Aie

Lyn and Aie

The resturant also serves as a butcher shop. You could find different types of meat here tapi choice dia takdelah banyak melampau.

One thing about this place is, the way they cook their meat is so simple takde gravy nor style yang pelbagai jenis. Tapi perfect sebab dengan cara yang simple tu, you can actually the taste the meat.

I tell you, they were juicy!

Mine - Grainfed rib eye steak

Initially I wanted to order shortribs tapi takdela pulak so I ordered the grainfed ribeye steak instead, it costs around RM50. I asked the girl what’s the difference between the normal ribeye and the grainfed ones, she said the grainfed is more tender.

True enough. Sangat tender.

What I like about this steak was the simplicity. Mine was medium rare yet it was “cook” enough and I did not get the “muak” feeling. Infact, I managed to finished the whole chunk walaupun adalah full sebenarnya [belasah 1901, bubble tea and keropok apa ntah before the dinner].

Aie's fat burger

I did not taste this burger but I believed it was not bad too and the price is very afforadable. RM 20 / rm 25[not sure] for a fat-200 gram- juicy burger.

Emak's grainfed tenderloin steak

Did not taste this either but emak said it was not bad.

Lyn ordered some lamb tapi takde gambar sebab masa ni tukang ambik gambar [emak] tengah busy makan hehe.

Muka kenyang

The menu was pretty straighforward, it was all about the meat. No appertiser or dessert.

So do not expect something fancy. If you are all about juicy meat, then this is the place.

Cakap apa pun tatau sampai berkerut muka.

They also have other branches at Wangsa Maju and Kota Damansara.

 

Would I come back?

Definitely.
