1. Senka Perfect Watery Oil

To me it is a great basic makeup remover oil that works just the same as the Biore Mild Cleansing Liquid that I often use. Like, really, really similar. The only differences that I notice is that this one by Senka is a little bit thinner in consistency than the Biore one. So it takes less time to rinse off, and, it's just a couple ringgits more expensive, so I would stick with Biore.

2. NYX Be Gone Makeup Remover Wipes

I bought this on a whim because I ran out of my usual makeup wipes from Biore. Meh, I don't really like it. It's good if you just want to remove a light makeup, without the heavy duty mascara. To me personally the cloths are a bit rough in texture and not very saturated with makeup remover. I am comparing it to the Biore one though which is my HG makeup wipes. So it's just like any other drugstore makeup wipes that I've tried, great for everyday use, but nothing too special.

3. Fresh Lotus Youth Preserve Face Cream With 7 Complex

One of the best moisturizers that I have tried. This is actually a deluxe sample size that I got as a gift from Sephora a while back. Very very moisturizing but it does not make my skin super oily or anything. I do use it only at night time because I was using other moisturizer for day time. Whenever I put this on the night before, I would always wake up with a glowy, brightened skin. Does not cause any breakout or clogged pores whatsoever. Will totally repurchase if I ever become rich lol this dude is expensive!

4. Mario Badescu Enzyme Cleansing Gel

I have a whole post dedicated to this guy. You can read it here. Overall it is an amazing cleanser, did wonders for my skin. It helped to clear my skin in the most gentle way. Will repurchase!

5. Skin & Lab Dr. Color Effect Red Serum

The best serum I have ever tried for hyperpigmentation and scarring. The fading takes time especially for older marks, but it totally works. Already on my second bottle and will keep repurchasing! I would highly recommend this over OST C20 or C21 vitamin C serums if you want to brighten up your scars because you don't have to worry about keeping it in the fridge to prolong the shelf life. The ingredients are a lot more stable.  Full review here.

6. Rire Lucent White Pearl Cream

Another K-Beauty! I did enjoy this moisturizer a lot, but probably will not repurchase. It did great for my skin, but nothing too amazing to the point where I can't live without it or anything. And simply because I prefer something quicker and easier to apply. Read more about it here.

Just like our face, our body needs to be exfoliated at least once a week. Our skin takes about 28-40 days on average for cell turnover which means the process of shedding of dead skin cells naturally. Therefore a good exfoliant should be used to help this process of taking away dead skin cells off our skin to reveal a healthy and glowy complexion. 

Wild Child is a new local brand focusing in homemade organic beauty products and they are making a debut with a wonderful Bubblegum Sugar Scrub that smells so heavenly! My very first impression looking at their scrub is, oh my god it's pink! Never have I encountered such a cute looking body scrub in the market, the ones that I used before are just typical, generic looking body scrubs that get the job done, but yeah they looks so boring for my bathroom counter. The scrub is stored in a clear glass mason jar so the pink totally shows through.


When we talk about natural exfoliant, the two most popular key ingredients would be salt and sugar. However, from my personal experience, sugar always work better than salt in many aspects. Firstly, sugar is a natural humectant, which means that they help to draw moisture into the skin, preventing moisture loss so your skin will stay hydrated throughout the whole day. They are also rich in glycolic acid, specifically the AHA which I am sure you've heard of. AHA has been quite popular in skincare products lately as a chemical exfoliant. The glycolic acid will encourage cell turnover to generate better and younger looking skin. So not only you're getting the exfoliation from the sugar particles itself, you're also benefiting from the chemical composition of the sugar. Yay for double exfoliation!



The Wild Child Bubblegum Sugar Scrub is also rich in Vitamin E, which is vital in the skincare industry due to its benefits. Vitamin E can help reduce stretch marks by increasing nutrient levels in the skin tissue. It will also help to lighten any dark spots and scars on your skin, promoting new cells regeneration. You know how some body exfoliant might leave our body feeling a little dry after all the scrubbing? Since this one contains vitamin E, this naturally oil soluble nutrient is a great ingredient that will leave your skin feeling moisturized so it is best used even for people with dry skin. Since it is an organic product, Vitamin E is crucial to be used as they act as a natural preservative for the scrub. A little tag of direction on how to use and store this product is attached onto the jar.




First off,  loveee how she packaged the scrub. The little red bow used to wrap the brown cardboard box is perfect! Totally getting the whole homemade vibe. When I take the lid of the jar off, I was intrigued by the bubblegum scent coming from the scrub. Nostalgic experience hit me for a second as I loved chewing on bubblegums when I was little so this scrub makes me feel really happy everytime I use it in the bathroom. It's like little jar of memories! I asked the owner of the product and she said that this product is multi purpose. Aside from the body, you can also use it for your lips, and even for your face! She recommended me to use it mostly for the lips and body and people with sensitive or oily skin might want to avoid using it for the face. The sugar particles might be a little too abrasive as the skin on our face is thinner than our body. 



I have tried using it for both my lips and body and fall completely in love with it. This sugar scrub leaves my skin feeling super soft and smooth once you rinsed it off. I don't bother slathering on body lotion after patting my skin dry because the vitamin E oil in the scrub is already moisturizing enough for my skin. Most importantly, my skin smells SO GOOD that I can't stop sniffing on my arms before I sleep, though that might sound scary haha! This scrub is perfect if you're using it to prep your skin before shaving as it helps to get rid of the dead skin cells. It'll make shaving a lot less trouble and smoother. 



For the lips, I just take a pinch of the scrub and work it onto my lips in circular motion. It is great to be used on preparation of a drying lipsticks like liquid lipsticks because it leaves my lips feeling very soft. Ain't nobody wants their lipstick to bunch up along with dead skin cells, yucks. So scrub away! I don't know if you notice or not but it kinda brightens  my lips and plump them slightly. Right, now everyone notices my little beauty mark on my bottom lips, lol! Oh, and have I mentioned how good this scrub tastes like? Sorry not sorry, it's actually edible! If it's safe for your tummy, it's safe for your skin.


Overall, I think this is a great product for that pick me up once a week. You really don't have to go to a fancy spa to get a good quality of exfoliant. First product from Wild Child, and I am already convinced. Their product is completely paraben free, cruelty free and vegan friendly. I heard that they are coming up with a bubblegum lotion next, can you believe that? A lotion that makes your body smells like bubblegum? Sign me up! I can't wait to see what's more they'll put up in the market. Get yours now! Simply search @wildchild.kl on instagram or contact Ellis at 0196712649 to directly place your order. Good luck!

I am pretty sure this product is no strangers to you. Literally every beauty blogger and vlogger rave about it. So as soon as our local drugstore brought this product in, I knew I have to get my hands on them. Getting them was a struggle at first, it was sold out everywhere. Malaysia only carry in 2 shades ; Light and Medium. I managed to get both to try out. This product retails at RM34+ at the drugstores.



This concealer is packaged in a twist tube with sponge applicator, so it's not like your conventional concealers with wands. With this, you have to twist the red sleeve to get the product out and absorbed to the sponge applicator, and then you apply it directly onto skin with the sponge.

I don't know why, but I always prefer my concealers to be applied with wand. Hygiene wise, it's just the same as you're dipping the wand back into the tube after touching your skin in conventional concealers anyway, but for some reasons, applying squishy dirty sponge that makes those squishy sound as you're applying it kinda grosses me out. I just wish that the sponge is detachable so that you can wash it between uses. But, let's just push that aside first. Love the twisting part though, because no product is wasted and you can clearly see if you're running out from clear tube.



When we're looking for a good concealers, it is about how well it covers. I would say that the coverage is medium, but you can totally build it up to full. I was sick in this before and after shot so my dark cirlces are a lot more prominent because I wasn't been able to get a good sleep for a few nights. But as you can see, it did brighten up my left undereye pretty well. Great thing about it is that it won't look cakey if you layer it on. Another thing that I look for in a concealer is whether or not it will creases under my eyes. I am only 22, but gurlll, those fine lines under my eyes! A lot of concealers that I tried would settle into those lines, but I have absolutely no such problem with this one. That's another plus point! Set the concealer with some loose powder, and it will lasts all day.

Pros :

  • Affordable 
  • Medium coverage
  • Buildable
  • Long lasting
  • Do not crease
Cons :
  • Limited shades available
