[Review] Mirabella Skincare Set

Assalamualaikum and hello ladies,

How's everyone doing today? I hope each and everyone of you have been doing well through out the past week. Anyway's i apologise for abondoning my blog and not updating it for a while. With time constraint and mummy duties, i tend to neglect this other baby of mine. So i guess i'd better stop blabbering and start with what i wanna share with you ladies today.

Through out the whole time i've been missing, i've actually been trying out this new skincare kit called Mirabella Skincare. Thanks to HiShop i was given the chance to review this lovely product and i can't wait to share with you ladies on how, what and why of this product.

So let's start:-

I have to mentioned that i love the packaging of Mirabella Skincare b'coz it looks so cute and dainty. The packaging has a matte feel to it, so you don't have to worry if it would slip through your hands.

The step by step on how to use the product in the Mirabella Skincare.

                             

So here's the Mirabella Skincare Cleanser. The content of the cleanser is 60ml and the functions are:-

• To cleanse and refresh your skin
• To get rid of clogged pore.
• To balance and keep your skin well nourished.
• No harmful ingredients used such as hydroquinone and mercury
• Removes excess makeup, as these oily substances cannot effectively be removed through washing alone.
• Ideal light texture face cleanser suitable for all skin types.

Intructions:-

Dispense desired amount onto palm, lather with water and gently massage on face and neck. Rinse well. Use twice daily.

The UV cream which is more like a day cream. The color of the cream is yellow, upon swatching it looks more like beige. The cream is dry compared to other moisturizers i've used, so you need to dab more unto the face in order for it to spread evenly on the skin.

Function:-

• Protect skin from UV light.
• Promotes a brighter healthy skin
• No harmful ingredients used such as hydroquinone and mercury
• Prevent and treat dry skin, protect sensitive skin, improve skin tones and texture.
• Active ingredients used helps to protect the skin from premature aging, giving a radiant and youthful skin.

Instructions:-

Apply evenly onto the face and neck every morning and daytime.Leave on for at least 20 minutes before being exposed to sunlight. Also can be used as a makeup based.

The Beauty cream which is a night cream. Texture wise it's very creamy, so a little goes a long way.

Function:-

• Intended to whiten and lighten skin color
• Enhance performance of the skin nutrients.
• New, safe and effective skin-whitening and skin brightening.
• Based on natural ingredients in the skin care product formulation
• No dangerous active chemical ingredients which can caused serious skin complications.
• Reduce hyper pigmentation.
• Skin tone corrector.
• Prevent premature signs of aging.
• Reduce age-related dark spots, skin pigmentation, freckles, and other skin pigmentation disorders.
• Firming and moisture skin.

Instructions:-

Apply cream evenly onto the face and neck every evening. Gently message before bedtime.

My Verdict:

Well after using this product for 3 weeks plus i do find a difference. But before that i would like to apologise that i'm not able to provide you the before and after picture, due to the fact that i wasn't able to take a before picture. So i couldn't take an after picture and compare it with. But for those who have been following my blog would know that i've always given my honest opinion on the products that i've tried and tested, doesn't matter if it was purchased from my own wallet or sponsored.

So getting back to the actual verdict, i actually love this product, due to the fact that the functions were more to whitening and anti-aging and it also has the functions to protect my skin. Knowing that i have problems with blemish and pigmentation and with me being in my late 20's with 2 children having something like this  to help my skin is more like a gift to my skin.

I love the cleanser for the fact that it leaves my skin feeling clean and fresh. It doesn't has an after feeling or dry or tightness, which is what i like. As for the scent it has this certain cleanser scent which can't be described, but it's nothing awful overpowering. This applies to all the other products too.

As for the day cream, the texture is a little dry, but after the 1st try, i learned that i need to dab more of it on my face, in order to cover the whole face. It does leave a slight of a white cast over the face, but it somehow fades off after a while. The UV cream is actually worth the money, b'coz after 3 weeks, this was what's still left in the little tub. (pix below)

                                                    

As for the night cream, i like the fact that the texture is creamy and not sticky or oily. It feels like your applying a sleeping mask. My skin actually feels soft and smooth the next morning. The only downside is that it depletes more than the UV cream, so even though you purchased the kit, you might end up finishing the beauty cream way before you finish the other two products. (Proof as per pix below)

[Review] Seri Emas Facial Soap Savon Visage-Tonique

Hi and Assalamualaikum lovelies,

How is everyone doing? In Shaa Allah i hope each and everyone of you have been doing well through out this whole week. Anyway's alhamdulillah today i get to share with all of you my very first review from Seri Emas. They are a company dealing with skincare items that are formulated with 100% natural ingredients and no chemicals.

 So without further a do, i shall provide you lovelies with the insight, and my thoughts on this product first hand. To be honest, this is my first time reviewing a product as a blogger, so do bare with me. ;)

The Seri Emas Facial Soap Savon Visage Tonique is a soap formulated from pomegranate extract, essentially for those experiencing sinus or 'resdung'. The process of formulating and adopting of Seri Emas Facial Soap Savon Visage Tonique actually took 10 years. And now the founder of the formulation would like to share this product for the good benefit of the public from using the Seri Emas Facial Soap Savon Visage Tonique

Seri Emas Facial Soap Savon Visage Tonique is 100% handmade. 50% of the ingredients in the Seri Emas Facial Soap Savon Visage Tonique is made out of honey and as mentioned before it is 100% made of natural ingredients (coconut oil, palm oil, palm fat, steric acid (palm), Iye Sodium Hydroxide, Mimusops Elengi - Bunga Tanjung, Fruit Extract, Cinnamon, Turmeric & Fragrance) and without any chemicals. Seri Emas Facial Soap Savon Visage Tonique is 100% halal, manufactured and 100% wholly owned by a bumiputera company. 

Seri Emas Facial Soap Savon Visage Tonique has been used and tested for almost 10 years. The efficiency of Seri Emas Facial Soap Savon Visage Tonique is noticeable in just 1 day of usage and it has a high content of pomegranate extract.

Benefits of using Seri Emas Facial Soap Savon Visage Tonique:-

• Resdung / Sinus - Sense of smell is restored to normal in just 5 days, and the user will no longer experience sneezing or running nose. Breathing will be back as per normal.
• Migraine - Proven to disappear Migraine within a week.
• Skin Problems - Able to solve problems such as oily face, acne scars and even out skin tone.
• Pimples and Scars - Proven to disappear Acne and Scars within a month.
• Allergic with Seafood - Proven to disappear Pimples that are caused by allergic in 1 week.
• Dandruff - Proven to disappear Dandruff within a week.

Usage:

• Lather facial bar using hands.
• Apply soap to face in circular motion, rinse thoroughly. 
• Use day and night for optimal result.

My Thoughts

At the moment i've been using the Seri Emas Facial Soap Savon Visage Tonique for the past 1 week. I don't have problem with sinus and migraine, so i won't be able to comment on that. My first impression of the product, it reminds me of the Collagen E bar soap. If any of you have heard, seen or use it would know what i mean. Well it has a nice scent to it and it does leave my skin feeling clean. As for acne scars, pigmentation and skin tone, i have not noticed any difference. As mentioned in the benefits, it might take a month to notice the difference. So i will update you all again after a month of usage. Currently i'm only using their soap as a cleanser, while my toner, serum and moisturizer are from different brands. So In Shaa Allah i hope i will be able to give a fair review by the end of the one month period on this product, without the influence of it being a sponsored product. I do have to mentioned that i am using it diligently as per recommended which is day and night.

How to Purchase:-

• Online - Purchase can be made easily by typing BB60 and sending an sms to 013-2298329.
• Through Seri Emas official Distributor - List of distributors around Malaysia
• Call them at +603-41444969 (Any question/inquiries on their product can be made to this number provided).

Stila In The Light Eyeshadow Palette

Assalamualaikum & Hi Lovelies,

How are all of you doing? I hope everyone has been enjoying their long weekend Raya Haji Holiday. Well if you all have notice, i'm a fan of nude/natural eyeshadows. I actually had Stila In The Light Eyeshadow Palette in my Pinterest Beauty List for quite a while. Hoping that one day, maybe just one day i might get it in one of my international beauty swaps, or maybe just maybe there will be some SALE or discount that will happen in Sephora. And guess what, when it came the day that i received an email from Sephora and they were' having 57% discount for selected items, and one of it were Stila's eye makeup palette. 

The discount was in conjunction with Malaysia's 57th Independence Day, so i decided to call my trusted lil sis Amanda and told her that we need to go to Sephora to get this, i mean for me to get this. So we did and we went to Sephora in Sunway Pyramid, alhamdulillah it was available and i quickly grab hold of this Stila In The Light Eyeshadow Palette. 

If you haven't take note of this palette or have not took any notice of it, you may do it so now... hehehehe. Describe as a wearable, neutral shades for every skin tone that can be worn both wet or dry.

The palette also includes a Smudge Stick Waterproof Eyeliner in Damsel, which is a matte chocolate brown and also not forgetting a 6 page look book. 

The lovely shades that are in it, all together there are 10 of it. The shade includes:-

Bare - A matte ivory shade
Kitten
Bliss - A matte beige pink
Sunset - Shimmery canyon pink
Sandstone - Matte light coco
Bubbly - Pale Gold shimmer
Gilded Gold - Golden brown with shimmer
Luster - Dark aubergine with hold shimmer
Night Sky - Blue with shimmer
Ebony - Black

In total 5 shimmers and 5 matte, which a perfect balance if you want to create both day and night look.

The swatches ^_^

The look book consist of 6 different looks with details on how-to tips and tricks.

 

The full size Smudge Stick Waterproof Eyeliner.

Swatch of the Smudge Stick Waterproof Eyeliner.

The total weight of the palette is .49 oz and retails at RM 126 at all Sephora outlets in Malaysia. And thanks to the the 57% discount i actually got to purchased it for RM54.18 *squeal with delight*....

I definitely love the palette, as they have lovely shades and i can't wait to try it. The compact packaging is actually slim and light, since it's more of a cardboard material. And with a big mirror, it would definitely make it easy for us ladies to touch up or do our eye makeup wherever we want. The Smudge Stick Waterproof Eyeliner which is a bonus, is quite easy to apply on, but i guess the only downside is that the propel pencil does not retract. I did some research after purchasing the item and i was wondering how do i get the Smudge Stick Waterproof Eyeliner propel from it's casing, and i heard that you have to tilt it down a little but be careful at the same time since the bullet cannot be retracted back to it's origins.

So i guess that's all for now, can't wait to create a look with it and post it up once i'm free. Till than Assalamualaikum and take care.... ^_^ 

*Disclaimer: I purchase this item with my own pocket money and this review is no where sponsored by any parties.

[Review] Garnier BB Eye Roll On

Assalamualaikum/Hi

Have you guys ever experience lack of sleep or do you tend to sleep late at night? Well i've experience both through out my life and for that i end up having dark circles under my eyes. Alhamdulillah it's not that bad, but it's concealable if i were to used makeup on. 

So if you guys have come across my previous post on my Only Beauty Sale haul in Citta mall (link) you would have known by now that i've purchased the Garnier BB Eye Roll On in the shade Natural. I'm not sure whether there is any other shades available, but this was what i happen to grab and i wasn't even aware that there were shades *silly me*.

Since it was on sale for RM12, i decided to give it a go. I've actually saw a reviewed in youtube from Judy's Time and it looks pretty promising. So here are some shots of the Garnier BB Eye Roll On.

As you can see it looks exactly like the other Garnier product which is the Light Brightening Roll-On. I've tried it before but it didn't seem to work for me.

As you can see the applicator is a roller ball, it helps to soothe and also gives a cooling sensation to the under eye upon application. But the only downside is that the BB cream tends to be smeared outside the roller ball itself too. So i normally would used a tissue to wipe the excess that is smeared, just for the purpose to keep the Garnier BB Eye Roll On hygienic and clean.

The swatch and blend, it actually blends quite easily unto the skin since the consistency is light, like a BB Cream. 

I would definitely recommend the Garnier BB Eye Roll On b'coz i find that it is very light weight which i love and it's also easy to blend. Before that I've actually used the Nyx Above and Beyond Full Coverage Concealer for my under eye, it conceals but i think due to the thick consistency it tends to crease even when it's upon application. About the shades, i'm not sure how many shades are available in Malaysia, but it should be able to suit most skintones, since it's a BB Cream and not the usual concealer.

Normal retail: RM 24.90 / 15ml
Available in Guardian and other major pharmacies.


Till than, take care and Assalamualaikum~
