BATTLE OF THE SUNSCREENS





SUNSCREEN is my everyday routine to prevent skin damage!!

so i have used some sunscreens in the past, and i would like to just share my views on it.
western sunscreens are usually thicker in consistency and doesn't smell like alcohol.
japanese sunscreens can be thicker and smell horrible (usually) because of their high alcohol content, As stated in my last post, which i dread the most.

SUNPLAY SPF 50 20ml- i tried Sunplay today, and i can say its very runny, glides on my face smooth. but i think as its consistency is quite runny, i do feel like i have to re-apply every two hours. good that its alcohol free.
 price: rm28

NIVEA SPF 50 200ml- Why did i get this??? there was a 30% sale going on, and i was looking for a sunscreen. too bad i wont use it on my face because its a spray. and alcohol is their second ingredient. but i still think its good for my neck, hands and legs because it absorbs so fast and easy to apply, unlike thick sunscreens which makes you feel greasy, this makes you feel very refreshed.
price: rm 50+

KIMBERLY SAYER OF LONDON SPF 30 120ml- bought it from  https://www.lovelula.com/?gclid=Cj0KCQiAgZTRBRDmARIsAJvVWAuxqsvOF2vfYLSqbI_Y1YR8dk7D8Ni4M2zAMFqd1uBeITdOW-i9KYAaAjmHEALw_wcB
have been using a bottle over a year, this is the second one. this is a good sunscreen+ moisturizer. perfect when im in a rush and i dont have to go through any steps. im not sure about its moisturizer power but i quite like it.
price: rm140


























i love the UV Mild Gel but i think it is discontinued now, as you can see, it is only SPF 30 but the volume is larger than the SPF 50 PA +++

my empties.
BANANA BOAT SPF 110- back in the days i have no knowledge on what to buy, i just grab whichever that is cheap on the counter, when applied to face, it feels extremely greasy and can clog my pores. good for going to the beach. but i would recommend Shiseido more.
price: > than rm50

EAD Sunscreen- a very cheap sunscreen and i didnt get any sunburns exposed to long hours of sun for several days. since its cheap, i dont mind reapplying it often.
price: rm5.50

went to the local drugstore and saw a few sunscreens. too bad we dont stock La-Roche Posay. i wonder these are good or not.


so i got a sample from the counter and decided to try it out. SISLEY products are expensive, thus their reviews are often very contradictory. some say their products are good and natural, and most of them can't justify its price provided that their ingredients are normal.

The one im testing on my face is Naturel. they do have other series like Amber, Visage, Dore. They all retails for 90Euros each, 40ml.

after about six hours of applying, i feel like my face is a little oily. but it doesnt look greasy like KFC. as my T-zone is oily, when i look in the mirror, i can see that it starts to oil a little.  im not sure of this is the GLOW i want to achieve?!?
it looks good on my cheeks. ahhhh, the sorrows of combination skin.







I have also tried samples of Keihls, but didnt purchase as it quite expensive as i go through a tub every few months,  this is good if im going under the hot sun

HAIR Ritual by Sisley

I LOVE HAIR PRODUCTS!!!!! more so, products with biotin which regenerate hair cells. As a asian, i felt like my hair is pretty thin, and i have a a bald spot on the front because i always tie my hair up. I love Sisley, it's a brand most people dont reach out to because 1. the effects are not immediate 2. pricey (really pricey in Malaysian Ringgit) So, having tried a TON of Sisley's products, from their famous black rose mask, all types of other mask, Ecological compound, I'm elated that Sisley came out with their own range of hair care. Look at that packaging ! LUXE They focus on using Botanical ingredients  The packaging itslef is pretty awesome, a reusable box which has the words "give", whereas inside of it there is golden and silver plastics just to fill up the space and to prevent products from moving. On the left: Regenerating hair mask On the right: Revitalizing Smoothing Shampoo

Realization

I. Blogging, many people have been blogging regarding travel tips, fashion etc. but maybe i would want to do something different. Basically i was inspired by a friend would wrote on her blog and i thought like:" Hey, maybe i should start one too." But i was constantly lazzzzzzzzy.   Nothing too personal, i just think that life is so different. Most people live their lives in their comfort zone. Only a few would take a leap of faith to go outside their comfort zone. Most of us live vicariously, it means that you experience something indirectly, maybe through the experiences of your friends and all that. It's sad, it's sad we can't experience things and feelings first hand. Living out of your comfort zone is not easy, and what i'm trying to say is more like an abstract thing. It means stop seeking for the approval of others, stop doing things to please other people, stop living hoping that you're getting a one way ticket to happiness.   To quo

TRY ME REVIEW ME - STYLEKOREAN NEOGEN SUR.MEDIC

 Hello beauty lovers! Today i will be sharing all about the products i received from Stylekorean. I squeaked in happiness when i received this box. After all, i have been combating acne issues, post acne pigmentation and pore issues so this box arrived just in time via EFS delivery. I have to say that the selection of products sent are very thoughtful, peeling gel, pads, vitamin c, ampoule and ceramide moisturiser is a great combination for compromised skin barrier. Due to the pandemic, constant wearing of mask results in congestion and every few days, my skin will have a few pimples breaking out, whilst dealing with post acne pigmentation and scars. I needed an effective routine to skin my skin supple and moisturised.  [Neogen] SUR.MEDIC+ Deep Clear Bright Calming Peeling Gel 120ml USD 14 This is essentially a hydrating peeling gel to help remove impurities on our skin due to pollution, it is very gentle and doesn't have rough beads that causes micro-tears. It has Cica and Tea tre
