[REVIEW] Mary Kay | NEW Botanical Effects Skin Care Review

Reviewing the Botanical Effects Skincare by Mary Kay

Recently i was introduced to Mary Kay's latest skin care, the all New Botanical Effects and its currently in my skin care routine for the past 4 weeks. To those who know me, you may think that i have a crazy hectic lifestyle, but thankfully, with the New Botanical Effects by Mary Kay, they've made it simpler for me to take care of my skin. With only 4 or 5 steps to a complete skin regime, this antioxidant-packed infusion helps me to cleanse my skin throughly without slowing me down with my daily adventures. Want to know more about the product? Read away!

Dont you think the colours of the packaging are way adorbs?!

The range features 5 products namely, the Botanical Effects Gel Cleanser, the Botanical Effect Exfoliating Scrub, the Botanical Effects Toner, the Botanical Effects Moisturizer, and the Botanical Effects Moisturizer SPF30 to provide your skin with extra care. The range contains dragon fruit extracts thats known to contain fatty acids, iron, calcium, phosphorous and several B-complex vitamins, including the often called "anti-stress vitamin" B1 (thiamin), plus B2 (riboflavin) and B3 (niacin). Many thanks to the dragon fruit, it helps fight skin-damaging free radicals too! Another ingredient featured would be the Aloe Vera which happens to be one of the most nutritious plants in the world, to help the skin maintain moisture and also acts an an antioxidant in skin care. Now lets proceed to the review.

Botanical Effects Gel Cleanser

Transparent gel-like texture

But once in contact with water, it lightly foams.

First up would be the Botanical Effects Gel Cleanser. As a first impression, i would say that this tube  leaves a fruity scent each time i cleanse my face. The box states that its suitable for sensitive skin and it has been clinically tested for skin irritancy and allergy, which gives gives me relieve without a worry if my skin would give any reaction to it. From the images above, it comes in a transparent gel-like form, but when in contact with water, it lightly foams! It cleanses deeply and effectively, and since i have slight oily skin, it also managed to dissolve all traces of oil on my skin. And dont get me started about how i enjoy the fruity scent. #love

Botanical Effects Exfoliating Scrub

Look, theres microbeads! 

When in contact with water, it foams up easily while the micro beads gently scrubs my skin. 

For extra cleansing, I would advice you to get the Botanical Effects Exfoliating Scrub. It exfoliates to remove dead and dull skin while deeply cleaning the pores. As its a little strong for my skin, i would personally advice to use this about twice (2 times) a week during the day or night time after washing your face with gel cleanser. One of the days the past 4 weeks, i had full make up on, and i admit that the Botanical Effects Exfoliating Scrub did the job by keeping my face squeaky clean!

Botanical Effects Refreshing Toner

I personally prefer applying toners on a cotton pad

It feels extremely refreshing and it smells like fruits!

Next up would be the Botanical Effects Refreshing Toner, that claims to wipe away traces of dirt and at the same time improves dull looking skin giving you a reason to tone with purpose. (And im living proof that it does what its suppose to do) Hehe. Like any toner, the texture is like liquid, and it works really well with the Botanical effects Gel Cleanser. To use, apply a small amount to a cotton pad, then smooth over face and neck. And believe me that it feels super refreshing on the skin.

Botanical Effects Moisturizer

Gel like texture

Personal hint: apply it in an upward movement for best absorption

And once youre done toning, dont forget to mosturize your skin with the Botanical Effects Moisturizer. I have a confession to make, i hate to moisturize the most. But somehow, after using Botanical Effects, i moisturize  more frequently cause the formula is super quick absorbing and it doesnt feel greasy at all! (EXTRA POINTS TO BOTANICAL EFFECTS). And on a plus side, after moisturizing, it makes it way more easier to apply make up without leaving your skin looking flaky and dry. To use, apply a small amount to a cotton pad, then smooth over face and neck, but personally, i prefer to get messy with my hands for this.

Botanical Effects Moisturizer SPF30

Cream like texture

To be applied evenly around face

Last but not least would be the Botanical Effects Moisturizer SPF30. I usually use this before i start my day to protect my skin from the sun. It claims to protect for at least 12 hours with SPF30 while keeping the skin moisturized. I would think you know what sunblock smells like, and im telling you that the Botanical Effects Moisturizer SPF30 is the total opposite of that. Its also non greasy and apparently very easily absorbed by the skin. Psst, this currently is in my hand bag almost everyday! So if you happen to see me on a bright sunny day, do not hessitate to ask me for some SPF30 Moisturizer by Mary Kay. Teehee

Not too sure if this photo is clear, but each box is nicely sealed each time you receive it!

As a verdict, i have to say that Mary Kay has really step up the game of skincare. It does what its suppose to do, provided with some extra's! It smells amazing, making it  fun to start with cleansing, enjoyable to tone and super de-stressing while i moisturize. The down side to it is that the price is slightly steep, but if youre looking for quality skincare, Mary Kay would be one of my trustable brands to keep up with as they do not disappoint. I also love that the range is infused with enriching antioxidant ingredients (dragon fruit and aloe extracts) to provide my skin with extra boost of TLC (tender loving care).

Funfact: Every product from the range are infused with dragon fruit and aloe extracts

And there you have it! For more updates and informations on these irresistable products, head on over to Mary Kay Malaysia on facebook, or if you prefer instagram, you can also check their instagram (@MaryKayMySg) page out too! If you have any other question regarding the new range, please feel free to leave me a comment and i'd be glad to share with you my thoughts on it. I hope you enjoyed reading my post, till my next blog post xx

Unboxing CubeCrate; October 2016 Box

CubeCrate's October Box

Hey its that time of the month again where i'll be unboxing my October Box. Im a little excited this time cause we all know what October is famous for, and yes, im talking about Spooktober! Being the month of ghost for many cultures, CubeCrate has decided to include mystery items according to the halloween theme to suit the festive season of the month (which is why i love CubeCrate). So if you love the season as much as i do, scroll to find out what's in my CubeCreate October 2016 box!

Oishi Green Tea

In the October box, i found myself a bottle of Oishi Green Tea. Oishi Green Tea has been a part of my daily life to quench my thirst on hot days, but never have i tried the flavour that CubeCrate just sent me. HAHA. Since CubeCrate encourages us to try different things, i guess this is a sign for me to give other flavors a chance. Psst, just a little hint, if you ever buy a bottle of Oishi Green Tea, its always best to consume when its fresh out of the refrigerator. For more updates on Oishi, head on over to their FB page: https://www.facebook.com/OishiMalaysia.

Love Is's RIP Bubble Bar

A close up look on how cute it is

Next in the box would be an item from 'Love Is' with their tag line being 'be natural, be beautiful and be you'. And being a mystery item from the CubeCrate box, this might be my favourite item among everything else in the box. At a first glance, i really thought it was a bar soap, but when i read the description, it says its a bubble bar which has been designed to compliment bath bombs or to create a foam when youre in your bath tub. hehe. As 'creepy' as it looks with the RIP sign on it, i have to emphasise that it smells AMAZING with a hint of fruity grapes (lucky guess). hehe. I swear i cant wait to bring this along to one of my de-stressing stay-cations. For more on Love is, head on over to https://www.facebook.com/loveisgifts.

Ilsa's Soap Wagon

And talking about stay-cations, its always best to bring your own soap from home. But in my case, i have a travel sized bar soap to accompany me to my stay-cations thanks to Ilsa Soap Wagon. This travel sized bar smells very therapeutic with a hint of eucalyptus and peppermint. Mmhmmm, perfect for a de-stressing day. Here's a fun fact on ILSA Soap Wagon: Did you know that ILSA got its name from the word ASLI? No wonder their products are carefully designed to be made the original way, a.k.a via handmade. For more handsome wonders, head on over to https://www.facebook.com/ilsasoapwagon/.

Wild Child Mystery pack surprises!

Here's what inside. 

Last but not least featured in my October CubeCrate box would be something from Stickwitme. Stickwithme started with a fun mission to create colourful, playful, functional and versatile bags and small accessories to make life a little more fun. Too bad i didnt get any of their bags, but i got some funky stickers from them. And judging from the material of the stickers, i can tell that these are not your everyday usual stickers. It looks great to be sticked on a bag, on a note book, or even on your phone case!

And thats what in my Cubecrate box for the month of October

And thats about it for my Spooktober box! Whats there not to love when all the things received are all usable and consumable. Hehe. Cant wait to be creative with the stickers, and maybe de-stress once im in need of some self-pampering. I personally have to say that CubeCrate has gave me more reasons to pamper myself lately, receiving a parcel from CubeCrate has suddenly became a reminder to pamper myself somehow. Teehee.  So what are you waiting for? Head over to http://cubecrate.com.my for more information on how you can subscribe to their CubeCrate boxes.

The perfect handmade gift | Naturafun

Introducing Naturafun

Good morning, Christmas came a little early thanks to Naturafun! And since good things are always best shared, im here sharing to you some options for you to buy as presents for your friends and loved ones since Christmas is just around the corner. NaturaFUN specialises in natural handmade products such as Shower Care, Body Care, Skin Care, Child Care, and Essential Oils, making it more meaningful when you purchase these handmade with love products. After all, who doesnt love things that are homemade right? Hehe.

Check out whats inside my christmas box

Upon unboxing, i have to simply admire their presentation cause it looks way too cute + it made me feel like a child again as im unboxing something so precious and handmade. While opening the box, theres this fragrance of wonders approached me as the box is filled with skin care with essential oils. LOVE! Talk about first impression, i would describe it as love at first scent. hehe. Now for the exciting part, lets find out whats inside the box!

AROMATHERAPY SPA EXFOLIATION SCRUB

The Aromatherapy Spa Exfoliation Scrub Collection

From Top: Whitening, Slimming & Firming

Starting with the top 3 rows, these cute tubs are labeled as Aromatherapy Spa Exfoliation scrubs, and each of these serves different purposes. From the labels, it states that these scrubs can either function as whitening, firming and coffee slimming scrub. Being given the chance to test it out, the scent these tubs provide are simply relaxing. Since it came in a travel size tub, i would say that this would be the perfect travel buddy to complete your relaxing vacation. I cant be too sure if it whitens, firms or slims the body after using it for only using it once (at the moment) , but i can assure that it does contribute to giving your skin a healthier look. Being a beauty addict myself i would recommend to use this once or twice a month so that you wont harm your skin too much as scrubs can be a little rough on the skin if used too often. Even at my first scrub when i was trying it out, my skin was almost instantly smoother!

FOR HIM DETOX SOAP

Testing out the Him Detox Soap

And not to forget the men in the world, Naturafun even has handmade soap for men too! The Him Detox Soap is known as a natural complexion soap which  serves the purpose to gently exfoliate skin and its also great for acne prone skin. It also works as a detox without drying out the skin. Rich in vitamin B and E, it also has high level of antioxidants to protect the skin from environmental damages. It claims to be antibacterial and it helps to heal wounds by extracting toxins from the body making it the perfect gift for any occasion! After getting a sniff of it, i have to say that it has a fresh relaxing scent with a hint of rosemary mint. Absolutely de-stressing for the man of your life.

AROMATHERAPY SPA EVERYDAY OIL

The Aromatherapy Spa Everyday Oil

I also received these mini sized Aromatherapy Spa Everyday Oil which looks like a bottle filled with sunshine. Other than having really bright attractive labels, these are the 3 out of the 4 of Aromatherapy Spa Everyday Oil that NaturaFun has to offer, featuring Egypt's Queen Body Oil, Sleeping Beauty Body Oil and S-Line Body Oil. Since these 3 everyday oils serves different purposes, i'll break the review down for you.

Egypt's Queen Body Oil

First up would be the Egypt's Queen Body Oil! To match its name, its perfect to pamper your skin as if youre the queen of Egypt, by providing deep moisturising while improving the skin complexion, fights cancerous tumors, increases circulation and skin elasticity while decreasing wrinkles and stretch marks. Its recommended to be used at night after showering, giving you a pleasant relaxing night. Despite being oil based, im have to emphasize that its not at all greasy on the skin as my skin seems to absorb the solution pretty well. The fragrance smells therapeutic with a slight hint of sweet citrus.

Sleeping Beauty Body Oil

Next would be the Sleeping Beauty Body Oil which features a fresh minty herb'ish aroma. This oil claims to help heal dry skin, improves skin condition, even skin colour, reduces pores, decrease wrinkles and stretch marks, and acts as an allergy relief that gives a cool sensation to the skin. This is suitable for all day use, that helps the body to relax and release physical and emotional tension. Just a personal opinion, i have to say that this is my favourite body oil after coming out of the gym as it somehow relaxes my muscle after a long workout.

S-Line Body Oil

Last but not least would be the S-Line Body Oil which claims to help reshape figure, helps trim the tummy and reduce hip size, fat burning, and prevents loss of firmness while keeping the skin moisturised. From the site, it states that its suitable for day and night use, but i tried using this during the day time when im out and about, and while im at the gym and i have to say that I love how it smells fruity with a slight hint of spice during my exercise regime. HEHE

MOISTURISING LIP BALM

Moisturising Lip Balm

Handmade with love

They even have lip balms in their variety of products. From the site, there are 3 different type of lip balms to choose from namely, Moisturising Lip Balm, Kissing Lip Tint and Men Cooling Lip Balm. It comes in a 5g tube, and its made out of Shea butter, grapeseed oil, bee wax, vitamin E, and cold press peppermint essential oil. Made entirely out of natural ingredients, i love how it keeps my lips moisturised as it leaves a cooling minty scent on the lips. I can be pretty picky when it comes to balms and im not a fan of the sticky feel that balms usually leaves on the lips, but this might be an exception. *Wink

DAILY BEAUTY FACE SOAP

Daily Beauty Face Soap

And last but not least would be the Daily Beauty Face Soap. The Soap is gentle for sensitive skin, suitable for all ages, rich in Vitamin A, D and E, moisturises, and reduces the incidence of age spots. Each bar comes in a 25g face bar soap and has been creation with natural PH balance to help improve skin condition and to make it suitable for all skin types. I don't usually use beauty bar soaps, and i have to say that this bar soap does what its suppose to do. Its moisturising, gentle and cleanses the skin leaving my skin feeling refreshed. But if you're wearing make up, i would suggest you to remove your make up with makeup remover before washing as i wouldn't guarantee that it would remove makeup from your face that easy.

And i love how fun sized it is too! 

I guess thats about it for the review today! NaturaFUN is an ethical designer brand that works hand in hand with people who are disabled or disadvantaged to produced a range of natural skincare. And yes, this means by supporting this brand, you'd be providing more employment opportunities for those who are disadvantaged but with great skills when it comes to handmade. So its an amazing brand to support with handmade high quality products that pampers the skin. Since Christmas is just around the corner, wont you think that this would be the perfect gift? Hehe. Well thats all for now! Do visit www.naturafun.com or https://www.facebook.com/pg/naturafun.my for more updates!

Follow Me | Buy and Donate Campaign 2016

A group photo of the elderly at the Rumah Caring Old Folks Home

Follow Me, a brand under Tohtonku Sdn Bhd has launched the Follow Me Buy & Donate Campaign 2016 that is currently ongoing from 20 October 2016 until 30 November 2016 to help raise funds for Rumah Caring Old Folks Home. Located in Kajang, Selangor, this non-profit old folks home, caters not only to citizens aged between 50 years to 95 years, but it also shelters wheel chair bound old folks who require special needs and attention.

Rumah Caring Kajang

Public Living Area

According to Wendy Yap, Founder of Persatuan Rumah Caring Kajang, the home has been grappling with the rising cost of operations and provisions in the last few years. Apart from the daily basic household needs, nursing service and cost of health supplies are also increasing.

“The average cost of running the home is about RM14,000 a month. We are left feeling helpless at times without financial aid. Therefore, we are really grateful to receive donations from corporate and individual donors,” said founder, Wendy Yap. Through this campaign, Follow Me hopes to raise funds through the sale of any of its Follow Me products, where with every RM10 spent on Follow Me products, RM1 will be donated to the Follow Me Buy & Donate Campaign fund. The funding will be used to help fund the household expenditure of the Rumah Caring Old Folks Home.

“We are indeed moved by the fact that despite of the funding issues and uncertainties that looms over the shelter; this has never been taken as an excuse to compromise on the love and care the old folks deserve. As a well-established home grown brand in Malaysia, we feel compelled to do our bit to contribute back to the society. I sincerely hope that this campaign would garner support from the public and together we can help raise funds to provide better nursing, health and logistic care to the old folks and disabilities here in Rumah Caring Kajang,” said Jessky Hah, Product Manager of Follow Me.

The public who would like to support this campaign can head to any Tesco retail outlets in Malaysia to purchase their preferred Follow Me products. Follow Me products ranged from haircare, skincare to body care. Its a great cause to support and all you need to do is to buy the necessities that you need at home. A small favour goes a long way to some people, and what better way than to end the year with a good deed right? I know i'll be supporting the campaign, it may not be much but its a small contribution that might make someones day.
