Biore UV Colour Control CC Milk SPF 50+ PA++++ Review

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Biore UV Colour Control CC Milk SPF 50+ PA++++ Review

I ran out of Biore UV Perfect Biore UV Perfect Face Milk SPF50+ PA++++. I’ve been using this for over a decade. Sometimes, if it’s out of stock, I would get Biore UV Bright Face Milk SPF 50+ PA++++. Basically, it works the same as Perfect Face Milk except it claims to correct dullness but I didn’t see much difference. I don’t really bother, the price is affordable and it offers the same kind of UV protection. That’s good enough. I’m using it as my makeup base too. Here’s a simple review that I did on my Instagram back in 2018.

Biore UV Colour Control CC Milk SPF 50+ PA++++ is another variant found in the Biore UV range. I never wanted to get this because I am not into CC. I just want a basic daily sunscreen for the face. However, when I ran out of Bright Face Milk a few weeks back, I wanted to get Perfect Face Milk yet there wasn’t any stock in all the major pharmacies that I went to. Even Bright Face Milk was not available.

Seriously?!?! Only one bottle of Biore UV Colour Control CC Milk SPF 50+ PA++++ left on the shelf at Watsons! No choice because I used up the last bit, it’s empty!! I ended up with this and praying that it will be as sheer as Perfect and Bright.

When I got home, I read the packaging. OMG! Oh dear… This is totally not the kind of sunscreen that I want for daily use. “Beige Make Up Base”! Oh boy… I was still hoping it is the very sheer type but…

The Result

Biore UV Colour Control CC Milk SPF 50+ PA++++
Left: Look at the colour! OH NO!!! Not sheer. My skin doesn’t work well with liquid-based makeup. All my makeups are powder-based. I don’t use liquid foundation or even concealer. It will always go cakey on me and got stuck in the nook and cranny of my face. My pores, my fine lines, my facial hair, and so on. I don’t even use lipstick/lip tint/lip gloss. Just lip balm.

Right: Here! I applied it to half of my face. Can you see the difference? Not that obvious in the photo but the one with the CC Milk looks a bit brighter. You can compare the colour at the side of the nose to see the difference as it is more obvious. In real life, it does even out my skin tone and provides light coverage to those spots on my face. It does conceal some of my visible pores. Can achieve a no-makeup look with this. However, I don’t think it will suit those with darker skin tones.

However, just like any liquid-based makeup, it does get stuck here and there, especially on the drier part of the face but not as bad. Luckily it doesn’t break me out. It is lightweight and easy to spread but not as light as Perfect and Bright. At least, this is very lightweight compared to a liquid foundation or BB. There is no need to use a sponge or brush. Just your hand will do.

It’s a little bit sticky and takes a bit more time to absorb. You might want to dust some finishing powder on your face if you want. Usually, I just leave it as it is unless I’m going out which is what I usually do anyway. The upside is that my skin looks nicer with this compared to using Bright or Perfect. It does not go cakey at the end of the day which is a good thing.

One thing for sure, I cannot apply it all the way down to my neck and chest anymore or else I’ll get my clothes stained.

Now, let’s talk about how lasting it is. No joke! The word “Very” on the packaging is true. Very water-resistant indeed. The usual ones, I can just wash it off with soap and water easily. My goodness! This one needs a lot of soap and water to wash off. Hence, using a makeup remover is crucial to remove this at the end of the day. I do use a makeup remover daily before washing my face so it’s no big deal. Will just need to be more thorough and need a bit more time to do it.

Overall, it is not too bad if you are looking for cosmetic sunscreen and you don’t want to fiddle with all those conventional liquid makeups. I would make this my daily makeup base if I have to use makeup daily but I don’t. The price is quite affordable. I got it for less than RM30 (was on offer). After finishing this bottle, I won’t get it again because I just want a basic sunscreen for daily use.

ASMR Unbox & Quick Review of Wireless, No Battery, Rechargeable, Affordable, Silent Optical Mouse

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on ASMR Unbox & Quick Review of Wireless, No Battery, Rechargeable, Affordable, Silent Optical Mouse

All my old mouses gave up on me at about the same time last time. I bought a new one from Shopee when it was having its 10/10 campaign. I bought it for less than RM10 (if I recall correctly, I did get some discounts by using some Shopee coins).

I’ve been using it now for about 5 months. It’s still serving me pretty well. I charge it about every 10 days. I’m quite a heavy user. It’s on for at least 12 hours a day. When the cursor started to slow down or it is not that responsive anymore, it’s time to charge.

You can use it while charging but make sure you are using a data cable. The in-built battery capacity is 500mAh. If the mouse is sleeping while you are not using it, just wake it up by scrolling the scroll wheel. The mouse will also go off when you switch off your computer.

All my old mouses(Logitech) lasted for at least 7 years while the oldest one lasted over 10 years. Not sure how long this mouse will last me. If you are looking for a mouse that does its job and doesn’t burn a hole in your pocket, you can consider this mouse. Here’s the direct link to the mouse I bought on Shopee https://invol.co/cl6rnrz

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on ASMR Unbox and Cook MAGGI® PAZZTA™ Cheese Macaroni and Mushroom Penne

Had the opportunity to try out MAGGI® PAZZTA™ Cheese Macaroni and Mushroom Penne. It’s not sponsored. It is one of the prizes I got from joining Maggi contest. Here’s the unboxing of it:

It’s my first time seeing MAGGI® PAZZTA™ Cheese Macaroni and Mushroom Penne. My first time eating it too. Here are the unboxing and cooking videos.

It’s quite salty. The taste is pretty much expected. Just like any other instant pasta. Having it once in a while is kind of fun.

Have you tried it before?

Driving around Kuching with H5 One Axis Handheld Gimbal

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Driving around Kuching with H5 One Axis Handheld Gimbal

It’s been a long time… CNY is finally over. I’m still trying to get some work done. Too many things going on at the same time. I’m behind schedule too. Anyway, in this post, I’m going to show you the videos I took last year, 31st Dec 2021. Went to the city centre to run some errands and I took my gimbal with me to test it out. Here you go… I wasn’t the one driving. I was the passenger.

If you are curious about the gimbal, here’s the video for it. The name is H5 One Axis Handheld Gimbal (https://invol.co/cl83tyg). Bought from Shopee during 1212 sale. Can’t expect too much with something less than RM100 ;p It’s not designed for what I did anyway. However, should be good enough for basic use.

What to Get with RM150 on Zalora?

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on What to Get with RM150 on Zalora?

Got RM150 voucher from Zalora, did a total purchase of RM149.40. Here’s a very quick ASMR unboxing and try-on. Check it out to see what I got and how the fit is on me.

Here are the details of the outfits I bought:

1. ZALORA WORK Cuffed Puff Sleeve Dress (https://invol.co/cl8ppo2), Size S, RM33.90
Stretchy fabric (95% Polyester, 5% Elastane) but might not be comfortable to wear in hot weather due to the fabric. Wash and wear. I thought it would be too long (based on the model’s height) for me but it’s just above my knee. Body-hugging. The length and fit are just nice for me.

2. ZALORA ACTIVE A-Line Skirt (https://invol.co/cl8pprz), Size S, RM28.80
Slightly loose but it’s not a problem. Thick fabric, not transparent. Easy to wear. Zipper at the back. Quite comfortable to wear. This is my favourite.

3. ZALORA WORK Cap Sleeve Button Down Top (https://invol.co/cl8pq0z), Size L, RM29.90
The colour isn’t as bright as shown on the website. More brownish. It wrinkles after wash but it’s not too obvious due to the prints. Very light and airy.

4. ZALORA WORK V Neck Lace Detail Sleeveless Top (https://invol.co/cl8pq2l), Size S, RM23.90
The wrinkles and folding lines are still there after wash. Ironing will be needed for the first time I guess. The fabric (polyester) is very thin but it won’t show off your underwear because of the colour. On close inspection, it looks and feels cheap. Luckily the lace at the neckline isn’t too bad. The armpit holes are a bit big for me but not much of an issue. The fabric is not stretchable but can slip on easily for me. If I go for XS, I might have a hard time putting it on because there is no zipper or buttons. This is my least favourite.

5. ZALORA WORK Collarless Blouse (https://invol.co/cl8pqks), Size L, RM32.90
The fabric is thin but comfortable enough. It wrinkles after wash. The descriptions stated that it’s polyester but it doesn’t feel like it at all. More like cotton.

The video isn’t nicely edited but hopes the video is helpful 🙂
