The Face Shop Aqua Drop Pack Review



My sister bought this to me. So I don't know the price.

I've been using this for over 3 months.


My sister really like this product but for me;

3/5 stars


It really works well as moisturiser. If you got terrible dry skin, use this. Even though it was written "Sleeping Mask" there, sometimes I use it as moisturiser, especially when travelling. When I'm travelling (usually by bus), my skin will be extremely dry because I will be in air conditioner place for more than 24 hours. But after I got this product, I will apply this before I got on the bus (in the morning) and my skin will be moisturised for the whole day. Seriously, I didn't even need to apply again during the afternoon or evening. Maybe my face looked extra shiny or oily in the bus but it is far better than dry skin at the end of the day!


Other than a good moisturiser, I don't see the other advantage of this product.



Nature Republic Aloe Vera Soothing Gel Review


YEAYYY!!!!!!!! EXO become Nature Republic's model XD

....

...

but that's not my point....


I bought this from Groupon.com. Have been using this for about 4 months (still the same bottle, I haven't finished it yet).


Short story;

3/5 stars



Works fairly well as moisturiser. If my skin is too dry, this gel only wouldn't help me. But on daily usage, it is quite good. And it's 92% aloe vera, so I feel safe using it on all parts of my body (face and body). I use it everyday on my face before I go to work and apply on my body after shaving.

It was promoted to be multi-purpose. Like it can be lip balm, eye moisturiser, body lotion, face moisturiser and more. But I won't recommend this to be used on lips. For me, it taste terrible and doesn't moist well on lips. As eye moisturiser, just good enough rather than nothing. It means it can be used on eye area (no irritation) but it doesn't moist well.  


will I buy this product again?
Hmmmm......Maybe No.



OLAY celLucent white essence water Review



Bought it from Lazada.com for RM99 (I bought it before the less).... so expensive...

The product description;
Olay White Radiance Cellucent White Essence Water offers advanced whitening skin care products that penetrate to the bottom cell layers for bright luminous fairness. It is formulated with an exclusive Olay Whitening Active Complex consisting of Vitamin B3, Pro Vitamin B5, Vitamin E and Hesperidin. White Radiance whitens skin from deep within the epidermis and increase translucency by renewing skin’s outer layer and locks in moisture so that your fairness can glow through silky smooth surface. 

Quick & Easy

This essence water activates visible fairness in just 1 application: a breakthrough whitening formula that can be instantly absorbed into skin after cleansing, penetrating moisture into skin cells along with the powerful whitening actives (CelLucent™ Complex). It also helps to significantly lighten dark spots in 2 weeks and lighten skin tone in 8 weeks.



Well, the thing is.... it's NOT working for me.


I've been using it for 2 months now as the toner. My skin didn't become any fairer. At least not that I notice and no one even told me that I've become fairer. My dark spots are still there, my old scars are also there and my skin tone didn't improve.

To be fair, it might be because I'm applying too little. I've used it for 2 months but my 150ml bottle barely reduced to 3/4. Okay, I'll be using more later and update the result ^^

Bye.


p/s: but it makes a good toner. I mean it doesn't dry my skin off.


Nubian Heritage African Black Soap Review


\


So, I've been looking a face cleanser for my acne prone face. 

I found about this soap from another product's review. You see, at first I was interested in the Rice Soap Thailand. I looked for the reviews but they were not very good and then, someone mentioned Nubian Heritage papaya and coconut soap. So, I googled about the soap and in the review, people were praising this African Black soap. After a bit of thinking, I deided to purchase this soap. I got this soap from Natta Cosme, together with Tokyo Love Soap. The price is RM22.90.


*I don't have credit card, so I have to purchase from online shop that allows internet banking or money transfer.


First thing of all, it's very BIG. I think it's bigger than the normal hand soap that we use. As you can see in the second picture it is almost as big as my palm, so it was going to be difficult for me to lather it. So, I cut a small piece of it and save the rest. 

The smell is very nice. It doesn't last long but it is pleasant enough. 

Just like Tokyo Love Soap, today is only my 8th day of using it. I can't really sure of the effect yet. Yes, my pimples and acnes have reduced but it might be not because of the soap. Coincidently, I received the soap after my breakout (which usually 1 or 2 weeks before my period until my period came). It could be because my hormones are stable now. 


But sorry to say that this product is not a miracle. I still grow a few small acnes while using it. 

I'm still not sure about this product but I have some hope on it. I will update again after 1 or 2 moths.

Bye.






Tokyo Love Soap Pure Girl Review






So, I've read a lot of reviews on this soap and all of them were very happy with this product.

Well, I'm NOT.


I purchased it online from Natta Cosme with RM85.

.... It's really expensive. Received the items in 4 days.

Today is my 8th day of using the soap.


This product promised many things but for me, they are all empty promises (It MIGHT or MIGHT NOT worked, but this a review form my point of view)

1) Eliminates Odor (I don't usually smell, so didn't notice this)
2)Leaves skin fragrance (Yes, it does have the floral smell. But it's very weak that I have to sniff my skin to smell it and no, it doesn't stay for 2 hours. It barely stays over half an hour for me.)
3)Moisturise and tighten the skin (NO. Other reviewers said their skin became very soft right after using the soap but for me, it doesn't feel that soft or moisturise. And if I shaved and I used the soap, my skin become very itchy that I have to apply moisturise after the shower.)
4) Removes pigmentation, improve skin elasticity fo a matte and rosy skin. ( So far, NOPE. Nothing changes on my skin)

*other functions basically the same thing (moisture to delay age, lock moisture, kill bacteria, help rebuild cell etc.), so not gonna mention them again.


So far, I'm very disappointed with this soap. It's very expensive but it works just like any ordinary soap (the smell even a lot weaker than cheap soap). I really can't believe this is the soap that everyone was crazy about. I read a few reviews that show the absolute whitening effect in just a few washes (some of them in 1 wash ONLY!). I wish they weren't lying or paid to write the review. Maybe my skin is just too stubborn.

The conclusion is, a product works differently on different person and do not put too high of hope on a popular product. 

I still have 2/3 of my soap and since it's very expensive, I'm gonna use it till the end. Hopefully the result will come later.

*not gonna write the star because I wouldn't give any. Don't worry, if the soap works on me later, I will update this.


---------------------
p/s: I read some articles on fake Tokyo Love Soap but then there was a statement said that there is no fake Tokyo Love Soap and the packaging might differ according to the factory. I really hope I didn't get the fake one >.<





REVIEW MARATHON

Hi,

I haven't been writing here for awhile now. Frankly speaking, I'm not really fond of blogs and my original intention of writing this blog is to review products.

 Well, I've read a lot of blogs reviewing products- especially beauty products but to my surprise and doubt, a lot of them are always satisfied with the products that they are reviewing. 

I don't know about you guys but I always find product reviews in internet before I purchase beauty products, especially expensive ones. I've chosen good rating products each time, but each time I was disappointed. So, it makes me thinking; what's happening here?

Why the products works wonder to the others but when I'm using it, nothing happens?

After so much thinking, I've come out with a few conclusions;

1) My skin is out of the ordinary... like nothing would works on my skin but plastic surgery. 
2) the other reviewers only review items that they like. They wouldn't review the product if they don't like it. So, no bad reviews.
3) I eat too freely. They said what we eat would effect our skin's condition as well. But oily and junk food are my favourite food =(
4) I didn't apply the product correctly. Maybe I'm supposed to heat up the cream before I paste it on my face, who knows? 



Okay,
even I think the conclusions might be the real problem are, I believe many others share these problems like me. But people like us are costumers as well and we want to be beautiful too!

Thus, I don't think they (the conclusions) can stop me from complaining. 

So, I'm gonna complain all the way that I want until I meet my true love.... err.... I mean the best product for me...

I'll stop here to go and write my review marathon. I've 5 items to be reviewed now (might add more).
Bye.
