Year: 2009

I was introduced to Bencoolen products by one of the Ebayers last year. I thought it’s some imported products but after asking her some questions, I was told that it’s 100% Malaysian made. I mean, look at the packaging, it’s so “foreign” looking but it’s really 100% Malaysian made! She told me about the shower cream that contains no SLS that her mom introduced to her and she got hooked after using it.

Bencoolen Virgin Coconut Oil Hand and Body Lotion is meant for the hand and body. The tube is so small that I think you will run out of it in no time if you apply on your whole body. This small tube costs about RM20+ if not mistaken.

The smell of the product is delicious! I know it’s wrong to use this word but it smells like coconut cream that you can eat! Even the texture seems like something edible! Imagine the icing on the cake.

I tried it on my feet which is rather dry and the difference shows immediately. The surface of my feet with many fine wrinkles due to dryness actually diminished, it looked and feel so smooth. According to the website, it will restore skin moisture and maintain suppleness in all skin. Also helps in relieving itchiness and dryness resulting in a more youthful and healthy appearance.

It’s a bit oily in the beginning but after a while the oiliness will be gone and leave that faint sweet delicious smell behind.

It’s not available in many places though, only in some Jusco stores in West Malaysia. So those of you that got no access to these places, you can always get it online at their official website or from Ebay. Even though Ebay doesn’t have the whole range you can always contact her to get those products that you are interested or just go straight to the official website to buy. Just one problem, they only accept Paypal.

Not thinking of buying? Just go in and have a look. I’m sure you will be as surprise as I was that this is not some imported products.

Again, this is not paid. It’s a Christmas gift from her to me in Ebay Christmas gifts exchange program. Thanks Carol! It’s such great product! Rest assure that I will get something from Bencoolen one day since I’m not running out of anything for now.

Loreal De-maq Elixir Concentrate Ultra Make-up Remover is specially formulated for removing waterproof and long wear make-up.

I notice my skin is rather sensitive. If I’m using products that are not suitable, I will get small red patches here and there or sometimes resemble mosquito bites. However, usually it will go away in less than one hour. I usually encounter this problem after washing my face or remove make-up.

It happened that my previous Loreal make-up remover(the one in white bottle) left a bit only before CNY so decided to buy a new make-up remover coz afraid that I might run out of make-up remover during CNY.

I bought Loreal De-maq Elixir Concentrate Ultra Make-up Remover after the sales assistant introduced me to this. In fact I didn’t think much, I’m open to any option so long that it’s not the same one as I was using.

This tube is RM20+ but I had the RM10 voucher from Parkson, so I only paid RM10 for it. There was also 10% discount.

Now, I use it every single time before I go shower to remove my make-up if I got make-up on because it’s so easy and not messy to use. The feeling when it’s on your face is so smooth and silky unlike the old one that I used which is very messy and I only used it when I did apply full make-up so it took ages to finish ;p Guess how long? If I’m not mistaken, 5-6 years. Hahaha…

However, for Loreal De-maq Elixir Concentrate Ultra Make-up Remover, I use it every single time before shower to remove my make-up even when I have very light make-up on. Last time, I won’t bother, would only use eye make-up remover if I got eye make-up on.

I’m a lazy girl ;p I don’t really like to use eye make-up remover for the eyes that why I seldom apply make-up to my eyes and then another remover for the face. It will take up lots of time. So with Loreal De-maq Elixir Concentrate Ultra Make-up Remover, it’s eye and face make-up remover in one! The lazy and small faced me just need a very small amount for the whole face including the eyes.

This one tube is 100ml and I estimate that it might take me about 2 years or so to finish it since I don’t use makeup everyday and the amount needed is so little. The best thing is that, I haven’t experience any itchiness after using it.

The lazy me also don’t like to remove the residue of the make-up remover with cotton pad especially when I’m thinking of the rubbing, pulling, tugging of the face skin, I’m not a very young teenage girl anymore, I’m in my late twenties(*HORROR* Time flies!! Now have to admit that I’m old hahaha…) so have to handle the skin gently. With this, I just go to shower and let the shower water wash it off then follow by the usual facial cleansing foam. Even just by washing off with water, you can feel that your skin is so smooth and clean! Just like what is stated on the tube, “Satin-soft Touch”.

You don’t have to use much force or energy when removing your make-up too, just very gently spread it and massage it on your face.

OK! OK! I’m not paid for writing this! If I am, how nice it would be.

Anyway, this is the best make-up remover I came across so far.
