Girls, don't worry if you have stretch marks or cellulite because you're not alone. In fact, actually 90% of women in this world will get stretch marks and cellulite during pregnancy or at any point of our lives.. It's just a way of living and is completely normal, even in skinny girls. But, that does not mean that we can't do anything about it. They are both very hard to get rid of, sometimes impossible. But it is good enough if we can at least fade the appearance. Laser treatments can be expensive, so why not just incorporate something beneficial in your shower routine that can overtime help to fade those marks?

1. Coffee grounds
2. Extra virgin olive oil
3. Lemon juice
4. An empty container and a spoon to mix everything

Malaysia is no kidding with the unexpected always changing weather. One minute it is schorching hot, and another minute it rains super heavily. But no matter if its a sunny or a cloudy day, I always make sure to put sunscreen on before I get out from the house! This is because my skin can get tan pretty easily, and it usually takes a long time for the tan to go away. Putting on sunscreen is also a necessary for me as I don't want my acne scars to darken overtime.

I ran out of my Sunplay SPF130 sunscreen by Mentholatum which I really love, so I decided to give this one a shot by chance when I saw it at Sasa. I just read the description at the back packaging and finger crosses that it would do a great job because the claims are quite promising. It claims to reduce the melanin pigmentation and helps to lighten dark spots. I was not afraid to try it because Biore sunblocks never disappoint me anyway. I tried a couple of others before and totally have no problem with them. It retails around RM32 if I'm not mistaken, but Sasa is having Sale going on so I got this fo only RM21. Pretty great deal!


This is after it is well blended and fully absorbed. It takes a little while to massage this into the skin to make sure it really absorbs in as it is very watery. But once it is fully absorbed, it does not leave any sticky or oily residues, but leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth. It does not leave a white cast, which is a plus point. I don't know if you can see it or not but it does helps to brighten my skin a little. I think it works well as a make up base. Good thing it does not clog my pores. :)

Longevity wise, it is not the greatest but it's not that bad. I do not enjoy wearing this in a very hot weather where my skin will sweat and I can feel this running down as it is not waterproof. Very uncomfortable. Unlike the Biore Perfect Milk which I tried before. That one keeps my skin feeling cool even being directly under the sun. In a nutshell, this is an okay sunblock for me. It is not bad but there are defnitely better sunscreens out there that I have tried.

Pros :

• Not oily or sticky
• Have whitening properties
• Average SPF and PA value
• No white cast
• Does not clog pores
• Works also as a makeup base
• Affordable

I have been looking for the perfect night moisturizer that won't make my skin appear oily in the morning like forever. Who thought I would come down to actually using oil for my moisturizer? Sounds weird, but I'll tell you how natural oils can actually work wonders for our skin!
You would probably think, oily skin should totally avoid using oil based moisturizers, right? Well actually, the natural oil on our skin is produced by the sebum to help moisturize our dry skin, but there are various factors that can stimulate the oil producing glands that sometimes resulting in overproducing of oil such as over cleansing. Therefore when we use external oils on our skin, it can actually 'trick' our skin, so our skin will not be producing excess oil to compensate dry skin since it is already hydrated and moisturized adequately by external oils.



I decided to give Tarte Maracuja Oil a try since I have heard so many good things about this guy. Maracuja oil is actually passion fruit oil. Some benefits of passion fruit oil that I know are it acts as an anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-stress, brightening, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and the list goes on and on. There are so many good things about the oil!

First and foremost, let us take a moment to appreciate whoever that came up with the packaging because I absolutely adore it. The oil is stored in this thick glass bottle with gold pump dropper. It feels and look luxurious, and fancy. The only thing I'm scared of is if I might drop it and the glass will shatter. But I think it's pretty safe since the glass is quite thick. Just be careful, we can never predict accidents. The last thing I want is the precious liquid spilling all over my floor.



I bought the travel size for only RM 47 from Sephora which contains 15ml of liquid. The full size retails for I think, RM179 for 50ml. Surprisingly the oil is very thin and a little bit of it goes a very long way. I have been using this for 2 months, maybe more with 2-3 pumps for each use and look at how much oil is still in the bottle! It's barely even moving at all. I do use it only at night though. I have no idea how long will it take to finish the whole bottle, let along the full size one. The liquid comes out clear. I did hear some complains about the scent, and I understand why. People might expect it to have fruity or sweet scent, but it does not. I don't know how to explain the scent, I don't quite like it but it does not bother me much. I can live with it, it's not that bad.

My skin is not yet flawless, but it has been clearing up at this point since I started using it. It does not prevent acne, I still get those hormonal acne from time to time but I feel like they shrink faster with this oil. The bumps that I have are also lessen, especially on my forehead. It moisturizes my skin very well, and I love how it makes my skin looking plumped in the morning. Even when I skip my moisturizer the next morning, my skin does not feel dry for the whole day.


The brightening effect is minimal, but it does help with the redness on my face. For the acne scarring, I don't think it helps much to brighten the acne scarring. I have to depend on other products for that particular problem. What I really love about it is that you can also apply this on other areas of your body such as your hair and your hands. I usually apply the excess oil on my hands and it helps to moisturize my cuticles pretty well and makes my nails look shiny and healthy. You can even mix a few drops of it with your foundation to achieve that healthy dewy look.

Overall I do think that it does wonders to my skin, but like any other natural products, we have to give it a longer time to see results. I am somewhat an impatient person, I will be amazed by products that gives overnight if not immediate result. But considering this is a pure and natural oil, I know it will take longer time to experience result so I keep using it anyway. For now, I can't decide if I would repurchase it or not, until I finish the whole bottle. Thank you for your visit, and see ya next time!

Pros :

• Hydrates the skin very well
• Does not make my skin oily the next morning
• Helps with redness and breakouts
• Lasts very long time

Have you ever heard of Althea? It is a Korean beauty website that sells Korean beauty products with amazing discounted prices! I was so mesmerized and excited to see that they are doing even more promotions for Christmas so I kinda couldn't help myself to let this offer go. hehe. The greatest thing about it is of course, they ship the products internationally!

Have you ever heard about solid perfumes? It's when the perfumes are in solid state instead of liquid, usually stored in tin cases. These type of perfumes sold in the market are usually a lot more natural compared to the regular liquid perfumes because less chemicals are used and the fragrance can actually last a lot longer on our skin compared to the liquids. So if you have any perfume with the scent that you really love but they just don't last very long, I'm gonna show you how you can easily turn it into a solid perfume.


Here's what you will need :

• Perfume of your choice
• Two candles
• Mixing bowl
• Ceramic or metal soup spoon
• A knife
• A container (I use a locket to store my solid perfume)

Ight, enough rambling!

Uh oh! Put that bullet of matte lipstick on your hand down and take a clear look at your lips in the mirror first. If it appears to be dark, chapped, cracked, and dry, you know it is not ready for that beautiful lipstick of yours. Any lipstick, be it matte or glossy will not look good on a rough lips, even when they cost you a $100. So here are some of my tips to get your lips ready for the day. Or night? :D


1. Toothbrush


Everytime after you brush your teeth, just spend about 30-60 seconds extra to brush your lips. This can help to slough off all the dried skin on your lips, revealing smooth and soft lips. Brushing your lips can also help with blood circulation thus your lips will look fleshy and plumped right away. No you don't have to put on anything on the brush to exfoliate, just make sure the bristle is soft or medium and exfoliate really gently.


2. Washcloth



This kind of washcloth or towel is a great material to exfoliate away the dead skin cells on your lips. Just like steaming your face, you can also use hot water to 'steam' your lips to soften the skin on your lips. With hot steaming water, dip in your washcloth (or towel) into the water and press it to your lips. Once it has cooled, dip it in the water again and repeat. Do it several times and when you feel like your lips have been soften, use the washcloth to wipe away the dried skin on your lips and it should be easily removed. Just remember, be gentle!


3. Sugar and honey scrub


I'm pretty much sure you have already know these two key ingredients to exfoliate your lips. It is very easy, just mix equal parts of one tablespoon of honey and sugar, and use that mixture to exfoliate your lips. But, if you want an additional benefit such as brightening, you can add one tablespoon of lemon juice into the scrub. Lemon will overtime helps to brighten your lips. And if you want to plump your lips to make them look bigger, add a sprinkle to cinnamon powder. You would feel a slight tingly sensation and your lips will be plumped and irresistible like Kylie Jenner!

The consistency of the cream is just as what they claimed to be. Watery cream. This feels like a gel cream that turns into watery-like consistency once contacting with the skin hence a little bit of it goes a long way. I only need a pea size amount for my whole face. This leaves my skin feeling so smooth and supple afterwards.It also helps very much in controlling the oil on my face throughout the day.

Unfortunately after testing it out for almost two months I have to say that this cream is like a fertilizer for pimple on my skin. I kept getting breakouts from it but I did not want to accept the fact that this moisturizer was the one that keeps giving me new pimple so I switched to a new cleanser and kept using this as moisturizer but my face did not clearing up. So I stopped using it for merely two weeks and I realised that my skin was finally clearing up. For some reason I wanted to give this moisturizer another chance for a couple weeks, so that I won't be wasting my money, but again, I got new breakouts. So now I totally stopped using it and it just sits there on my vanity as a decoration haha!

I still do want to buy the green one after this because how positive it worked on my skin from the sample that I got. Probably the pink one was just not made for my skin type. Just because one product from the line did not work for you doesn't mean the others are bad as well. I'll make sure to keep you guys updated once I got my hands on the green one! Stay tuned and have a good day! xxx
