[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 chemicalsSeri 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.
  • MigraineProven 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 SeafoodProven to disappear Pimples that are caused by allergic in 1 week.
  • DandruffProven 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

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~

Makeup & Tools Haul from Luxola 25% Sale

Hi & Assalamualaikum lovelies,

As per usual this is another late posting coming from me, and as you all have notice for the past months, Luxola has been having frequent offers on the items that they carry.

If any of you are still new with what Luxola is, well Luxola is a Singapore based e-commerce business that provides 48 brands and over 500 different products on it's website. And everything is reachable by the tip of your finger, all you need to do is browse through the site, click what you want and put it in your online shopping cart. Even payment can be made via online, once payment has been made they would email the invoice and a notification will be sent to the email once the parcel is out. It'll take roughly 2-5 days to arrive, as most items are normally send out from their warehouse in Singapore. 

Few months back, they actually had a 25% SALE on all their products, and this is actually my 1st time placing an order from them. Yes call me a 'slow mo'... better late than never right. So i decided to get my hands on the ever famous Sigma Beauty F80 Flat Kabuki Brush, thanks to all the good reviews that i've been reading and watching on youtube. Previously i would use my hands to apply foundation and BB Cream, as i find it very tedious to use the brush, plus it leaves streaks on my face. Well maybe i'm just not good in using the normal foundation brush.



So here's the Sigma Beauty F80 Flat Kabuki Brush, as you can see the hairs on the brush is quite dense which makes it easy to apply foundation over the face. This brush originally cost RM 74.50, but after 25% discount, it only cost a mere RM55.88 which i think is a very good buy. A little pricey, but it's a good start in investing a good makeup brush.



I also purchase Sleek's Face Contour Kit. I've never dealt with any contouring before, my makeup was mere foundation, eye liner on the upper lid and waterline, blusher and lipstick. No highlighter, no bronzer. This contour kit retails at RM 45.50, after less 25% it only cost RM 34.13.


A small little look book on how and where to apply the highlighter and bronzer.



And a very simple and sleek packaging, very slim, easy and light to carry around. I actually chose the shade Light, as i'm more to the fair complexion side. So getting this shade was definitely and ideal choice. They also have two other shades available which is medium and dark.


 

Swatches with flash mode, it looks quite light but it actually turns out good on the cheek. This is my current favorite item in my makeup bag when i wanna go au naturel. You can even skip the blusher if you want, just put some light foundation, some eye liner, a little highlight and bronzer on the cheeks and the nose, some tinted lipbalm and you're good to go. I'm serious... you'll have a result of healthy glowing skin and not looking too made up...

So my verdict is both the items are definitely a good buy, and since Luxola uses Aramex you can actually track where your parcel is. The parcel actually reached me 5 days after i made the order & payment. And when i received it, you won't believe the amount of bubble wraps that they use. I even got a small sample of Rachel K's Mineral Color Control Neutral CC Cream Blemish Balm.

The link to Luxola is as per below and want to know another tip? subscribe to their newsletter so you will get the latest update on discounts and new products and most importantly an early access to their sale which is normally an hour before the estimated time.

Mask Galore by Guardian

Assalamualaikum and Hi Dearies,

How is everyone doing? Hope everyone is doing well and good. Anyways this is another overdue post from me and it's about Guardian very own sheet mask. If you've followed my blog and read my post previously, you would know by now that i love using sheet mask. I somehow find it easier to use it, rather than using cream mask  and slathering it on my face and later removing it with water or the other which is the peel of mask.

Well it's not that i don't like them, it's just that i much prefer sheet mask, so yeah it's more of a personal preference. But the real reason is b'coz i normally used mask at night before i sleep, so i usually doze of to sleep with the mask on (so imagine if i were to use mud/cream or peel of mask.. eik.. i might end up messing up my pillow case. Plus i don't want to give my hubby a fright when he wakes up in the morning.. hehehe). Yes i'm guilty of that, but i'm sure some of you do the same as i do at times. Right?

So while i was out shopping groceries in Giant, i decided to give a visit to Guardian Pharmacy. I noticed that they were having offer for this mask which was like 2 for RM10 or 11 something, i can't really recall. But at the end i decided to get 4 of it and P.S their mask are made from Korea. 

Before that just to mentioned that i do have dry combination skin and i do have some flaws like occasional pimples, pigmentation and sometimes my skin does look a little sallow. So anything pertaining to moisture, brightening and nourishing to the skin i'll definitely give it a try.


So back to the mask i actually purchase this 4:-

Arbutin Face Mask - Brightening
Aloe Vera Face Mask - Ultra Soothing
Olive Face Mask - Moisturising
Avocado Face Mask - Nourishing



Arbutin Brightening Face Mask

Contains natural Arbutin extract from Bearberries to brighten and energise tired, dull skin. It helps to prevent the formation of melanin, leaving an even skin complexion with a healthy glow.




Avocado Nourishing Face Mask

Contains natural Avocado extract which is rich in minerals and vitamins to deeply nourish and moisture the skin. With antioxidant and antibacterial properties, it helps leave the skin soft, smooth and rejuvenated.



Olive Moisturising Face Mask

Contains natural Olive extract to help preserve and lock in skin's natural moisture. It leaves the skin soft, smooth and hydrated



Aloe Vera Ultra Soothing Face Mask

Contains natural Aloe Vera extract to sooth and calm skin. It continuously hydrates and replenishes the skin moisture, leaving it soft and revitalised.

I've used all 4 of this mask and find it very cooling and moisturising. There's a scent for every of the mask but it's not too strong or overpowering that it will interfere the relaxation process. The mask is definitely drenched with the liquid extracts, but no worries as it doesn't really leave trails of liquid along your jaw or neck like how some sheet mask does. All in all it's a good buy especially for those who really loves sheet mask like i do. Reasonable price for a really good mask that not only does what it's suppose to do but also helps in making the user feel cool, calm and relax.

Where to Purchase: Any Guardian Pharmacy Outlets
Price: RM 4/5+ per pc or look out whenever they have their offer which is 2pc for RM8+ / RM10+.

That's all for now, Assalamualaikum ^_^
