Finally Hot & Roll @ The Spring is now open for business!
Did you try it out? I have not try it hehehe… Went there last night, saw it but it’s late already, not going to eat anything especially one hour before sleep because I might have problem sleeping. Just took some photos and left.
The cheapest food on the menu is RM3.90, the most expensive is RM6.90.
Gonna try it out some other time.
Here you go… Another chocolate from Thorntons, Thorntons White Chocolate with Coconut and Lime.
Surprisingly, I like it to bits!
I didn’t really taste the lime but the coconut and the white chocolate were heavenly! The coconut is not your usual dessicated coconut which you can usually find in chocolate with coconut. Instead, it was crispy and crunchy. The dessicated coconut was toasted. See the brown pieces?
I was expecting it to be very sweet. It was sweet indeed but the sweet was the nice kind of sweet, not the kind that make me felt like I’m loading my system with sugar.
I want more of this!!
Today is the first day of November, see the number pattern —> 011110
Back by popular demand! 😛 On this very day, I’m gonna haunt you with my vain photos hehehe…
Here you go… These were taken after LANCÔME TEINT MIRACLE makeover. Only resize the photos. They’re straight out from the camera.
If you don’t like, it’s OK, I didn’t force you to come anyway.
Olay Total Effect is no stranger to all I guess… My mom has been using it ever since it’s introduced, almost 10 years… I remember I tried it last time when my mom bought it and I quite like it. However, I stopped using it after few usages because I did not really need it. If I’m not mistaken, it’s recommended for women age 27 and above.
I decided to start using it last month since I’m in my late twenties. Why not? It has always been a very good product that many people rave about. Even my mom is using it ever since its introduction.
I used it for a week and I surrendered. It’s not suitable for me. It broke me out! It did not melt into my face and left a sticky film on my face. In fact, I didn’t really like the smell, too strong for me. However, if it did work, I don’t mind the smell.
Ended up, I gave it to my mom. I wanted to try the other one, Olay Total Effects Cooling Essence but didn’t get to buy it because I’m afraid it’s not suitable for me also.
Since my skin is very dry and sensitive now, I’ll just concentrate in getting my skin hydrated as much as possible. Any product that I’m going to invest will be primarily for hydration. Once the face is hydrated, there will be less skin problems to worry about.
I’m sure many of you know about Cellnique Skin Action Sebum Gel and how effective it is as many bloggers had great experiences using it. Cellnique sent me this gel in March and I only write the review now.
This is a phyto bio-engineering formulation gel for all skin types to reduce both blackheads and whiteheads on affected skin area without painful extraction. This daily maintenance gel also reduces sebum secretion, leaving the skin clear and producing smooth visible results within 10 days of application.
Benefits:
Controls excessive sebum
Reduces the formation of blackheads and whiteheads
Reduces skin inflammatory
Controls and prevents breakouts
Increases skin moistures and improves skin elasticity
Anti-irritationColor: Slightly hazy
Scent: Peppermint
Texture: Thick fluid type
Feeling: Cooling and refreshing
Sadly, it did not work for me. I gave it a month to see the result but no good news for me. Instead whenever I went to do facial, I never get comment about having less blackheads and whiteheads, it’s either getting more or no difference. -.-”
The photos are showing before and after effect. I think it got worst, no? Ignore the pimple there ;p The after photo was taken one month after used. I only blog about it now because I was thinking of giving it more time but till now… About 6 months, there’s no positive effect for me. I decided to contact Cellnique about it and I found out that I’m not suitable for this product. They did ask me about my skin condition before sending me the product but I guess I gave them the wrong information, in fact I have dehydrated skin instead of oily skin. I knew my skin was dry but I did not expect my dehydration is this bad until recently.
Do take note:
Skin Action Sebum Gel works excellent on oily and congested skin to helps reduce both blackheads and whiteheads and control oiliness at the same time. But when skin is/became dehydrated or lack of hydration on skin surface, it could stimulate the sebaceous gland which will produce more oil and become more congested.
So… Make sure your blackheads and whiteheads are caused by oily and congested skin instead of dry skin.
It has medicinal smell, not really what I like but if it works, I don’t care about that. The pump was quite hard to control. The dispensing of the amount of product wasn’t consistent, it could be a lot for a single pump or otherwise. Usually, not much for first pump, then second pump, it would be too much for me to use.
However, it does help in combating the pimples breakout. Whenever I felt that there might be some breakouts, I would apply it on the area and it did work well. I’m only using it to combat my occasional pimples instead of blackheads and whiteheads now.
In case you’re wondering about the price, I think it’s RM150+ if I’m not mistaken. I lost the box with the price tag.
In conclusion, it does not work for me. I thought I will not suffer too much during my facial but it did not help in reducing it hahahah… Anyway, I’m trying to hydrate my skin as much as possible now.
