Naruko Narcissus DNA Repairing Foaming Wash

March 15, 2014March 19, 2016 sweet surrender No Comments

It’s not easy to find facial wash that is suitable for me as I easily get red patches, be it itchy or not, after washing my face. I found one from Eucerin but it does not really solve my problem, red patches still developed sometimes. However, not Naruko Narcissus DNA Repairing Foaming Wash. In fact, I was looking for Eucerin but strangely that branch of Watsons did not carry Eucerin brand… I ended up trying my luck with Naruko DNA Narcissus Repairing Foaming Wash (120ml). I don’t remember how much, it’s below RM30 if not mistaken.

This is a Taiwanese brand. Not new, it’s been while. If you watch the Taiwanese beauty show, Queen, then I’m sure you will know who is the founder.

Why I ended buying it after going tru’ the other range of Naruko products? Simply because it’s the cheapest I could find hahaha… Also with anti-aging and moisturizing properties.

After washing my face, my face didn’t feel dry or tight. Instead, it felt clean, comfortable, soft to touch and no allergy reaction too! The smell is quite refreshing.

However, you have to dispense a lot, at least about 1cm to get it to foam. Usually I used less than this for other facial foam. Anyway, it’s not a big deal. The foam is very fine and luxurious.

I’m happy with this purchase. Definitely will stick to this… I think… HAHAHA… Knowing me, I seldom stick to one brand, always like to experiment with new products. We’ll see…

Bourjois Paris 54 Rose Frisson

March 8, 2014 sweet surrender No Comments

The baked texture transforms when applied to the skin into an ultra-fine pressed powder, which is easy to apply and blends impeccably. One stroke of the brush reveals the irresistible aroma of the rose scented powder.

I bought Bourjois Paris 54 Rose Frisson (Â£7.99) in the UK on my previous trip.

The smell is a bit overwhelming for me.

The colour is awesome, texture is silky smooth but staying power is disappointing. Constant touch-up is required.

Love this little pot with the inbuilt mirror. However, I don’t like the brush just rest on top of it. Can be a bit messy.

I think this is my shortest review ever. As simple as that. 😉

OK! An update is due! it’s been 5 days since the last post! I’m slowing down again sigh… One more day to go and that’s it! I’ll be working full-time like anybody else. My updates will likely be even slower as I won’t be able to update too much due to the nature of the job which might cause a breach of interest.

If you notice, I no longer blog about food. Well… One thing is that there isn’t any place that worth a mention and I don’t provide such free publicity anymore unless your food or services are really up to my expectations or exceptional. Or unless I’m invited or asked to do it with some sort of exchange in return. Therefore, most likely that my future posts will likely be about beauty products and some random/interesting events in Kuching. Traveling posts will not likely be seen in near future. Not longer can go off anytime and I had just recently declined a weekend sponsored getaway somewhere at the beach due to that! Sigh… I do have a few food posts from last year’s trips which I didn’t blog because of laziness ;p

Anyway, I cut my hair short last year in May and now it’s growing longer, it’s time to get it cut. It was a bitch maintaining that short hair for months. Now that it’s long enough, it’s out of shape already, it’s time to get a new haircut.

I went to get it layered and maintained the length. There you go…

Left: After haircut. Just blow dried.

Right: After the first hair wash. Just air dried and no styling product. The blessings of having natural curls. I don’t dare to simply go to any salon to cut my hair because most won’t be able to cut my hair properly due to my natural curls, they are not familiar with my hair at all. It would end up giving me a hard time to maintain. Hence, I always go back to the one I normally go, been going there for almost 10 years. Just a cut and there you go… The curls are back! If it’s wrongly cut, not only it’s hard to maintain but also the curls are all gone or not curling the right way.

How’s your CNY so far? We’re more than halfway towards the end of the celebrations. Next week, Valentine’s and Chap Goh Meh on the same day. So how? Family or lover first? *LOL* I’m likely to be working throughout the night by then, it will be just another working day. No difference for me, just another day.

Bioglo Cherry Pink Lip Cream

February 3, 2014February 4, 2014 sweet surrender 4 Comments

Bioglo Cherry Pink Lip Cream was given to me as a gift. Finally tried it out last few days. You can only buy this from Cosway.

This product claimed to be able to lighten your discoloured lips and also can be used on the nipple to lighten the nipple colour.

How is it?

Colour: It’s white but will change to pink after you applied on your lips or nipple. I didn’t try it on my nipple though ;p Only lips. I really like the colour. Very natural looking.

Ease of application: The consistency isn’t creamy or the normal texture you find in lip gloss or cream. A brush is included with the product to allow better application. The texture is kind of clotted and dry but once it touches the lips, it will melt.

Result: Colour is great but I noticed my lips peeled at the end of the day. Then on the second day, after using it, I have a small bump on my lower lip which reminded me of the previous reaction I had when I used a lip balm that caused my lips to develop lots of tiny bumps causing it to be rough but I don’t remember which one, I thought I blogged about it before but can’t seem to find it. I guess this is not suitable for me. Likely that I’m allergic to certain ingredients in there.

Ingredients:
Cyclopentasiloxane, Trimethylsiloxysilicate, Beeswax, Hydrogenated polyisobutene, Isodecane, Shea butter, Octyl palmitate, Jojoba ester, Squalene, Glyceril dibehenate, Tribehenin, Glyceryl behenate, Prunus yedoensis leaf extract ( Sakura flower), Crithmum maritimum extract, Cl 45410

To end the post, here you go ;p I’m using Bioglo Cherry Pink Lip Cream in these photos.

Hoyu Bigen Prominous Milky Color Light Mahogany Copper Brown

January 29, 2014January 29, 2014 sweet surrender No Comments

The last time I coloured my own hair was in Adelaide, that time I was using Kao Japan Liese Bubble Hair Color Dark Chocolat. The colour was still visible until today before I colour it again. At the hair end of course. I thought of going back to use the same brand but I saw Hoyu Bigen Prominous Milky Color Light Mahogany Copper Brown which was much cheaper.

Was attracted to it because of the comb applicator. Apparently, it’s not as easy as using bubble hair colour. I got my mum to help me with the application. I don’t think I will be able to do it easily myself. The smell was strong but compare to others that I came across, it’s less strong.

I didn’t really want to buy Light Mahogany Copper Brown at first, was looking for something brown rather than reddish. At the end, I ended up with this reddish shade because that’s what left on the shelf, there’s the “brown” word there and because it was cheap, was on sale, it was less than RM20 if not mistaken. So decided to take the risk ;p

After 30 minutes, I washed it off. I washed until the water and shampoo were clear from dye. However, when I tried to dry my hair with my white towel… OH NO! Stained! Not that much but still obvious. It’s common anyway to have this happening.

The colour wasn’t obvious. Only very obvious under the sun and it’s red! The colour that I really don’t want as it seems like this colour is on everyone’s head these days! Oh well… At least it’s not obvious. Will trim my hair after CNY.

Ready for horse year?!?!
