Garnier Light .... a review

Assalamualaikum,

Currently, I'm using Garnier Light... just tried the scrub, cleanser, lightening dew and cream and the BB cream (I recently purchased this after a month of using this product) Alhamdulillah... after two months of using them, I can see improvements to my skin. Firstly, no pimples (*yay*) and then I can see my freckles lightening. Silly me for not keeping the tone marker from the whitening cream box... And the most important thing..NO REACTIONsssss...!!!! *as smiles* Smells good too!

I wasn't really into it at first but to date.. belum th jua abis2nya since I first purchased the set..macam, wah~ value for money eh!! I like!!! So yes.... GARNIER LIGHT it is!

Cleanser:
I love how light it felt as it lathers on my skin. The fresh citrus scent is just breathtaking and the freshness + glow it made my skin, reaaaally made my day worth it!
Rate: ❤❤❤❤

Scrub:
Bought the scrub just so that I can scrub my face once a week. Verdict, I prefer my traditional scrub better. This light scrub is not far much different from its cleanser. So, it all the depends on you...in fact, I ended up using the Garnier Light Scrub as my daily cleanser just because my face felt so much cleaner by the tiny scrub beads reardless of it not satisfying me with the scrub effect.
Rate : ❤❤❤❤ ( as cleanser), ❤❤ (as scrub)

Milky Lightening Dew:
It's a toner cum moisturiser for me. Keeps my skin hydrated and soft the whole day... I loike!
Rate : ❤❤❤❤

Lightening Day Cream:
Oil-free skin the whole day... *smiles*
Rate : ❤❤❤❤

BB Cream :
Officially in love with this... With SPF26 I am even more confident standing under the sun! Loving the effect it does to my skin and the idea of not having to use a powder on my face is just incredible!
Rate : ❤❤❤❤

And so, I have decided to use this product for my skincare. Positive impact on my skin, no peeling (unless you use the peeling cream which I simply avoided) annnd it is value for money! :) Alhamdulillah~ skincare done! Should I decided to use more of this range... i'll surely update this entry...until then, xoxo

Bio-Essences Tanaka White ..... the review

Assalamualaikum,

I believe I owe my readers a review on Bio-Essences Tanaka White range.  Simply said... gotta LOVE IT!! I'm a simple person and I dislike having to apply lots of things on my face! I have been using the starter kit for a month now and am soooo in LOVE with it.  Not only does it make my face moisturised, I can feel the obvious difference! I'm 'glowing' too!! Hubs loves it.. and that's the most important bit! Bought another set of starter kit the other day for travelling use. How it works is simple = Cleanse --> Tone --> Apply. Three simple steps, like Agent OSO! *lol* ok... here goes

Gentle Cleansing Foam
- Love the smell and the fact that it really doesn't cause tightening to my skin! My face feels oh-so-clean and light everytime I cleansed it! I just have to use a tiny amount and lather it up with water... used the small starter kit cleanser for a month!

Bright White Clarifying Softener
- I remember when I first applied this on my face, I felt nothing! Nothing in a good way that is~ No tingling feel, itchiness and sensitivity..Nada! I was surprised tho, cos the very same day I actually went to Laneige and have them test their product on my face... I felt my face turned red with the tingles for every single product. Pedih semacam!~ So yes, I love how the softener feels on my skin and how immediate my skin react to it!

Rejuvenating Whitening Daycream
- Quite dry and I don't really like it. It's SPF20 though, so I only use this when I'm out under the sun. It does make my face oh-so-white immediately. So far no reaction to my skin tho I can see that my dark spots are slowly whitening.. Alhamdulillah for that! But the fact that it's dries up so fast.. hmmmm~

Renewal Night Cream
- Now this, I really love, love, love, love, love!! Skin has been oh-so-soft eversince! The bouncyness, the glow, the moisture... loving it! A definite must use!
Rating : 5 of 5

Double Essences (Whitening & Firming)
- Prefer this than the daycream. Why? Because it does the same thing like the daycream BUT feels like the night cream.  As I have said before, I looooove the night cream... hence, I loooove the double essences.. *yay* sadly, this is from the starter kit pack though.

- I bought the bottled one and honestly, I doesn't work on my skin. The moment I put them on my skin turned oh-so-sensitive and now I have to live with dry skin lagi semula... (effect frm using the bottled double essence). After a whole month rejuvenation! DISLIKE!! How is the starter kit and bottled version any different? *puzzled* Makes me think twice
Rating : 5 of 5(frm the starter kit) , 2 of 5 (actual one)

Mask
- A definite NO for me!! Just immediately after putting it on my face I can feel the tingle, the heat sensation and seriously 'burnt' my face!! Had to rinse everything off the face takut2 makin teruk my skin jadinya. *sigh* Kesian lah muka I~

All in all, I have to scout for a different skincare lagi. What I do love about this brand is the scent and how refreshing my skin feels every after cleansing. But it's all in the starter kit?? I'm soooo not buying the commercial range cos takut the same effect happened just like the double essence. So, note to self.... starter kit may vary from the actual range. Don't be deceived! I am back to square one with the all so dried up skin lagi... *sigh* Does that mean I have to just buy Bio-Essence starter kit saja? Errmm....

... baby wearing

Assalamualaikum....

Mama A has given in to a sling! *lol* Well- actually, I planned to buy it when Baby.I was just 4 months old then again I wasn't that confident on baby-wearing and his sleeping routine was still on a pillow, i.e berlenggang. Then we moved on to cuddling him while standing (tapi as he grows inda tahan cos he's getting heavier each day) but somehow lately, probably started two months ago when I realised I was preggo.. Baby.I prefers to sleep on a sling! *oh noes* 

The hand-me-downs didn't fit my body (fixed size)... + Baby.I seems uncomfy everytime I wear him. So my other option was ring sling. Yes I did buy this masa Baby.I damit but inda lama pakai pasal, not confident and when my maid used them, the rings patah... good thing for fast reflex action, mun inda eeeee na'uzubillah~ So traumatised were both me and hubs that we promised ourselves to try and get Baby.I to sleep by just carrying and cuddling him ONLY to give in to slings with strong support if the attempt come to a failure (which is now...) 

So last weekend, after attending a friend's wedding... bought theBabaSling @ Wrap-In-A-Box. Hehe, mothercare(tm) sells this too at the same price but I just want to gather my receipts @ WIAB so that I can be the privilege member. After all, they're selling Charlie Bananas CDs now.... with all the accessories wheeeeeee!! Iskiness much~~

Anyhoots, eversince buying the sling... I couldn't be even more happier + confident pasal Baby.I enjoys sleeping while worn by his Mama.. pandai jua ya request if he kan sleep besling, there are moments when he simply crawls up to me while dragging the sling minta kena dodoikan.. sweet kaaaannnn??? *sniffs*

P/S : Another sweet moment yesterday was when both Hubs and I arrived home after work.. Baby.I lintasi saja Babahnya just to greet me... mother-child bond? INDEED!! Jeles tarus Babahnya hehehehe sorry love!

..yet another review

Assalamualaikum,

Remember, the remedy episode on what and what not works on Baby.I ? Well, praying that this is the last one... insya-Allah~

Now, Baby.I's face has already cleared up since I last used DermAid...which was 2 months ago? I think. But other thinks started to flare up lagi. Again brought him to a private clinic this time around (since I'm not in Bandar so I only had to options of going to Dr. Amir's clinic) and Baby.I was prescribed with hydrocortisone (which I know doesn't work) AND betasone (this is for his body and doesn't work jua) I was on another round on finding out the cure for his body particularly his legs and arms. Kesian brabis sampai berair2 and we all know how that felt kan? :(

SO anyways, my Dad suggested me to go for the chinese herbal cream. 'Insya-Allah mujarab tu,' he convinced. But I was abit reluctant cos of the ingredient which we don't know (since none of us reads chinese) and I really have forgotten that one of my staff is chinese that time, but few days later barutah macam, 'Eh asta!!! I can bring her jua and ask her to read the ingredients for me!! *lol* *bimbo mode* Sekalinya, we went to a chinese medicine dispensary and I got myself the BL Chinese Herbal Cream. 

Ingredients are all natural. chinese flower oil, some chinese herbs, coal (to give the cooling effect, and I just knew traditionally it exactly does this! Alhamdulillah~), a percentage of sulphur but very minimal to kill whatever thingamagics yang causing the problem... 'inflammation' as I called it, behold the result....

I once said that I don't want to use BL Cream right? Well, scrap that!!! This is the cream to go for...!!! Definitely within a week, dear son is free from everything!!! 

Alhamdulillah~ syukran ya Rabb!

Now, Baby.I is well- I won't say fully free, but yes... he's no longer suffering from all sorts of 'inflammations' and I'm praying that it'll stay that way sampai bila2! *Amin* 

Rules to follow :

• lotion for the whole body after every baths
• CJ's cream for rashes (which reminds me, I need to stock up)
• mid-day body rinse is a must and change his shirt
• face must be cleanse after every feed
• CD change every 2-3 hours and inserts stripped every two months or whenever it started to smell unpleasant!
• bedsheets and playmat laundered once every fortnight
• detergent must be hypoallergenic, 
• when outdoors, have to pakaikan Bud's Mozzie Clear Lotion on him, else even a tiny mosquito bite pun can cause the 'inflammation'
• basically, hygiene must be maintained throughout lah.... as now I am pretty sure, Baby.I's skin is very sensitive

Oh yaaaa... I forgot to mention jua, Bud's Super Soothing Cleanser and Lotion... doesn't really help. Pffft! Not Bud's, J&Js, Anakku... Eubos boleh lah but I want a cheaper option IF ada! Kan give up saja inda masatu.... until one very fine day, I found out that Guardian actually sells Nivea Baby! Everytime I went to Guardian, inda pernah ternampak... baru kot? It's hypoallegenic, it's for sensitive skin (has normal ones jua) Oh, and baunya oh-so-nyaman!! He's been using them for almost a month dah and no reactions on his skin! Alhamdulillah.... 

pretty new in the market kan ni???

I have not tried the lotion but will do so soon.. hehe and so far Baby.I is enjoying his bath time with this one... Alhamdulillah~~ :D :D :D Cost me only around $7.00 for this! saving kaaaann~~

With that, I shall end my entry for today heheheh .. ngalih krg biskita semua membaca! Mudahan memberi manfaat to all.. insya-Allah~ :)
