Category: Review It!

Actually I never plan to wax my legs. Never cross my mind at all until I bought Veet Wax Strips. This box is RM25+ if not mistaken. There was discount that time so it was below RM20.

I bought it to wax my bikini line *BLUSH* but ended up using it on my legs. This is because before you use it on your bikini line or underarm, you have to test it first if it’s your first time using it. The best place to test based on the instructions is your legs. That’s how I got hairless legs now! For the first time in my life, I’m having hairless legs! ;p I got lots of hair on my legs and some even quite coarse but I never bothered.

So? The result after using it? Really easy and fast. The pain is all right. Piece of cake for me.

However, for bikini line and underarm, I tried few days later after waxing my legs, it just didn’t work well. Nothing much came out.

The main reason is that you have to cut the strip into smaller strips but there’s a problem, see the photo below and you will understand.

There wasn’t enough wax and strength to grip the hair when you cut the strip small. The wax would come out from the sides of the strip that is cut and it’s very messy. ARG! The wax all ended up on the surrounding areas with not enough wax on the strip to grip the hair.

The lesson of the story is that, buy small size wax strips if you are going to wax small areas such as underarm and bikini line. Cutting big strip into small strips can’t do the job.

Love the sweet smell and how quick and easy to use. I do recommend it if you are new to waxing.

There are 4 wipes included for you to remove the wax residue and also to moisturise your skin. If you run out of it, you can always use baby oil.

This is only suitable for big areas even though the packaging stated that you can use it for underarm or bikini line. Well… Unless you have big surface for those areas then that’s different story.

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.

Heart attack or not? 😛

This is the first time I’m using this kind of mask. I never want to buy one because:

1. My face is small for the mask, see the photo you will know, it’s such as waste on me.
2. Expensive… I just cannot bring myself to spend money on this thing especially those branded one that will cost more than RM10 per piece. Not even the affordable ones like this one which is selling RM3.99/piece.

Since I got this as a gift when I shopped at Easyshop, I got the chance to try it out.

This mask is formulated with algea extract and deep sea water. Algea extract offers deep hydration. It can tightens, lifts, calms and soothes irritated skin, also to even out skin tone. As for deep sea water, it soothes dryness and rejuvenates the skin.

My verdicts, indeed it’s a waste on me! My face is too small for it! ;p Summore after putting it on for 15-20 minutes according to the instructions and massage the rest of the essence into the face.

The sheet was still very wet with all the goodness there. I felt that it’s a waste to throw it away immediately and guess what I did with it? I placed it on my back! *LOL* Then the “liquid” in the packet, I massage them to my whole body, just like using lotion. Imagine that, there’s plenty more for my body.

Anyway, I used the mask and the dry spots on my face were no longer dry. There’s no skin flaking for few days. It works for me but I have to use it every few days to maintain it as instructed on the packet for best result. Imagine, how much money I’m going to spend on it even though it’s RM3.99 per packet. -.-” NO WAY! I can get one bowl of Sarawak Laksa with every packet.

Then again, it works. Still, I’m not spending such money ;p

First of all, this post is not paid.

I was having a shopping spree at EasyShop few weeks back. ;p Actually I just wanted to shop for a bag but ended up bought 3 bags in one go coz they were too hard to resist. What a record! This site is in Chinese though.

Initially my plan was to purchase 1 bag and get my cousin to buy other things if she saw anything so that we can combine to get free shipping with Skynet. She bought two products that was featured in “女人我最大”, I don’t know what they called this show in English, it’s a Taiwanese variety show that teaches you everything about how to dress, how to apply makeup, how to stay healthy and so on.

The online shop owner is a Taiwanese and her products are almost all from Taiwan. I found out about this shop long time ago but never buy anything from there. Most of the time I just browse around and got no intention to buy. The things are quite cheap I would say as I saw many other online shops with the same bags that I bought, this site is considered the cheapest with ready stock.

Oh ya, if you are looking for BB cream, they do carry two types, one is from Beauty DNA and another one is Shills(was featured in 女人我最大).

So let’s see what I had purchased:

All these are below RM40. I’m glad it’s well-spent because all of them are just what I needed, something that I don’t put there and don’t use for ages phew… The quality is good. I’m quite happy with them.
(L-R)RM27; RM31.50; RM35(this is my favourite so far, I bring it to class); this is Deep Sea Water Spa Mask from Beauty DNA, it’s given as gift as I bought more than RM100.

Now they are giving BB Cream if you shop more than RM250 and above for East Malaysia and RM150 for West Malaysia.

Total spent was RM179(mine+my cousin’s). I made my order on a Friday and it came on Monday.

Will I shop there again? YES I will but not in near future ;p

Oh one more thing. If you are thinking of shopping for more clothes online, why don’t you visit Shop De Blog, it’s owned by a friend of mine. No harm just pay his site a visit. Cheers!
