Review: Chanel Chance Anyone?

By skinformulae | Published Sunday, July 29, 2012

On July 3rd, my twins and I made a short trip to Langkawi. Guess what? It is known as galore of duty free shops that sell cheap chocolates, liquor and lastly....

PERFUME!!

Perfume is simply love! I started using perfume when I was 13 years old after my eldest sister introduced it to me. It really made me feel good inside out. During that time I was using Elizabeth Arden Green Tea then followed by Burberry Weekends, Gucci Flora, Salvatore Ferragamo Incanto and etc. Currently, I am using DKNY pure.

So, when were in Langkawi I bought 2 perfume and one of is Chanel chance eau de toilette 100ml! The usual price in Singapore is about $140 and this time we bought it for a cheaper price.

Some pictures of the perfume glass bottle:

Did some editing.. hehehe

There a metal strip around the sides of the bottle.

Metal plate at the bottom that says "MADE IN FRANCE"

Pros about the perfume is it's sweet smell that last throughout the day! The smell of the perfume is floral with a hint of grapefruit. Of course, it may not be true for all of us as it depends on the chemistry between your body smell and also the perfume. As such, it may not last long on some people and smell maybe slightly different for some. The cons of this perfume is that some may that the smell is not to their liking or it is too strong for them.

I hope you guys find this informative. /blush

If you come into my heart ...

By skinformulae | Published Tuesday, July 24, 2012

I now present to you the korean drama ...

I've been watching . The title is 'A Gentleman's Dignity'. Unique story line. Hot ahjusshi that has gain the nickname F40. So why not right. Their original sound tracks (ost) are pretty good too. You know how these sound tracks can dramatize the mood while you are watching.

In one of its episodes, a main lead Rok Hyun did cover of one of my all-time favorite song. I swear I actually re-winded the player to listen the song again and again.

How can I not rape the replay button?? tell me? After listening to this I immediately made the connection to MBLAQ's ft. C-luv if you come into my heart. Well it is one of my favorite songs. Nevertheless, I do know MBLAQ made a cover and they are not the original singer. Then I found out the original song came out in 1989 (way before I was born) by Jo Duk-bae. I gotta applaud the composer of the song. I mean the lyrics are so poetic! Check out both songs below and tell me what you think!

Review: Himalaya Herbals Clear Complexion Whitening Face Wash

By skinformulae | Published Saturday, July 21, 2012

If your a regular reader of my blog, you will most probably realized that I am actually a fan of whitening skincare products! This is my second time trying out Himalaya Herbals product and for this product I love and hate it at the same time.

This Clear Complexion Whitening Face Wash contains several unique and natural main ingredients and have been found to be beneficial for our skin. Licorice, White Dammer and lastly Saffron.
Licorice and White Dammer lightens the skin tone and restores our skin's natural fairness whereas Saffron (the most expensive herb that can be found in most Indian cuisines, which l love so much) surprisingly has an enhancing properties that helps clear spots and blemishes.

Beautiful pictures for my dear readers :D

The texture of the cleanser is gooey and smells like baby Johnson's shampoo that we all have used before when we were young hehehe!

What I like about this face wash is that my skin feels really squeaky, clean and smooth after use. My cheek kind of look like "porcelain" .... (LOL! I sound cocky saying that my skin look like porcelain... but I cant find a perfect word to describe it.... maybe clear and shiny).

Now the cons, it made the sides of my nose very dry and I have to scrape off some of the dry skin which is quite a painful experience for me! I am not sure why this happened. But I have come with a conclusion that this face wash is not compatible for my skin.

Cr to: owner

I will rate this product 2/5.

For those who have tried this face wash before do share your experience of using this face wash!

Review: Dr. Morita Whitening Essence Mask + Side talk

By skinformulae | Published Friday, July 13, 2012

I am not sure how many of you have heard of this brand of mask which originated from Taiwan and is also made in Taiwan. On the month of May, my sister made a two week trip to Taiwan (for schooling purpose) and bought lots of masks. I didn't expect much from the mask as it is some brand that I have not heard before. Apparently, my sister said that this brand of mask seems quite popular there as the mask keep going out of stock on the shelves. Surprisingly, I really like the mask.

The mask is really soothing and cooling on the skin. Plus, look at the amount essence inside the sachet!

The essence is plentifull such that it is dripping when I took out the mask!

The outcome of using the mask is promising. I observe that my skin is more clearer, the scars I facial treatment (due to my acne) are greatly reduced after I used the masks fro several times. Those bumps due to white heads at the sides of my cheek is also reduced. (Yea recently I get lots of of white heads as I often touch my cheek)

In overall I feel that it is a great mask! My rating for this 5/5.

Side track!

This few weeks, I've been obsessed with EXO-K! They are charismatic and give the same pretense as Taemin. I feel that Taemin will fit perfectly inside the group. They are also quite shy and their shyness can be quite epic. I wish that I have a small brother like them XD!~ And yes! I have to admit Baekyun and D.O are creeping into my biase list... kekeke

Bye!~

Review: Nivea Angel Star Deodorant Anti-Perspirant

By skinformulae | Published Friday, July 06, 2012

I going to do a short review Nivea Angel Star Deoderant. Even though it is not exactly a skin product however I still would like to share my views on it. It is supposedly my second buys of this. What I really like about this product is its smell. Unlike some deodorant, it does not produce foul smell when mixed with your sweat. However instead the smell get stronger when I sweat more. Hmm... its kind of hard for to explain the smell ... I would say its candy-like and shampoo kind of smell.

Finished using my first one

It is also anti-perspiration. However, if I were to be outdoor for an extended period of time (with very humid and warm weather in Singapore) my under-arm will starts to wet a bit. Its kind of inevitable.

Thirdly, it is alcohol free so it will not cause your under-arm skin to be too dry and flaky which is good.

And lastly, it is dermatological proven to be skin tolerance so you guys don't have to worry about allergic reactions.

If you guys have tried this product I would love to know your views about this deodorant. You can do so by leaving you comments at the comment section below :D
