Another K Beauty! Some people can skip toners as they don't do much for their skin, but for me, a toner is an essential skincare product, just like a moisturizer.

A lot of toners tend to dry out my skin as they often contain alcohol in them. Alcohol isn't necessarily bad for your skin, it actually depends on your skin type. If you have dry skin, you should avoid alcohol though since it can be further drying. But if you have combination to oily skin, a little bit of alcohol should be okay as it can help to reduce the appearance of pores and help with oil control.


They have a few range of flowers for their toners, targeting for specific skin concerns. But the original rose water is the most popular, with the highest review, so I chose this. It is also said to be suitable for all skin type. It smells sooooo good. If you know me, you'll know that Rose is my favorite flower and my favorite scent. My perfume is usually rose based, ever since high school. Even my hand cream is usually rose scented. So yeah, it is not hard for me to choose from the variety lol.

This mamonde toner contains 90.97% rose water. The type of rose that they choose to create this is Damask Rose, which is believed to be the best among hundreds of other rose types. The roses are hand picked by trained experts in their farms to control the quality in early morning.




The toner itself is very watery, which is what I always prefer. This is because I love to use cotton pads to wipe the toner onto my skin. I find that that way, it helps to clean excess dirt or makeup that can't be removed by my cleanser. After doing that, I'll take a drop or two directly onto my palm and pat it into my skin. You can skip this part if you don't want to waste a lot of product at one use, but I just love the hydrating effect by doing so.

After about a month of using this toner, I find that it helps a lot in calming and soothing my skin when I do have breakout. I tend to have breakouts whenever I travel, be it by land or sky. But my skin is usually the worst after a flight. The dry air in the plane cause that. But with this toner, it helps to heal my breakouts faster than usual. The redness will be gone by a night. I can see why it is a very popular product in Korea.

I love how gentle it is on my skin. Even though it contains a little bit of alcohol, it doesn't gives an overly cooling effect nor stings my skin at all. Overall, this toner has become Top 2 of my favorite toner after Son & Park Beauty Water. Feels very relaxing yet refreshing after each use. It is not a miracle worker, but it does what it claims without having any bad side effects.

Lazada is back with another sale, and another blogger contest! If you've missed the last sale earlier this September, don't worry! Lazada Shopathon Sale will take place again in September 27 2018. Save this link here and grab your stuff when that paycheck arrives!

1. Clarks


I used to actually work in a Clark store before during my free time as a part timer and had never regret the experience. I'll admit that I used to splurge more on skincare than my fashion items, but ever since I've tried Clarks' shoes, I never want to go back to normal shoes. The prices are so worth it given the benefits and technologies being put in the effort of making a design. Clarks' shoes are not just ordinary shoes, they are super comfortable and lasts very long too! I've had mine for years now. The thing with Clarks shoes is that the longer you wear it, the more comfier it will be. This is due to the material that is made from leather. So yeah! I was over the moon when I know Lazada brought in Clarks official store to their website. It is a lot easier for me to shop for them now since I already know my size. Sometimes, it is even cheaper than buying in stores too due to promo codes and promotions. Thank you Lazada!

2) Fujifilm


Yes you can even get a camera from Lazada. Amazing right? I get how it might be nerve wrecking to spend hundreds or thousands from an online shop on gadgets like these, but since this is an official store, you really don't need to worry about anything. Everything works just the same as in stores, if not easier. I have an instax camera, so it is very convenient for me to get the films here. Certain products even come with free shipping, so that is a steal!

3. Innisfree


Innisfree is definitely on my top list when it comes to skincare. Their products are so gentle, and affordable. However there is not much physical stores available especially where I am studying at, in Sarawak. So having Innisfree's official store in Lazada website helps a lot! I sometimes purchase my products here when they're having deals because you can really save a lot. There is not one product from Innisfree that I've tried and being disappointed. They really care about the quality of their products.

If you know Mario Badescu's drying lotion, you may already have an idea about how this product works. I am not sure if the ingredients are similar, but they seems pretty much the same visually and technically.

I bought this product from Althea, which is where I usually get my Korean beauty products from. It only costed me RM35. Now if this product works, that is definitely a steal because Mario Badescu's Drying Lotion costs about RM91 at Sephora! That's a huge difference if you ask me.

I thought I would never be a fan of micellar water. I knew they work great, because I got a sample of Bioderma's micellar water back then, but I didn't think that it would be a life changer for me. I'm more towards oil cleansers when it comes to removing my makeup. I thought it would be troublesome because you would also need to use cotton pads with micellar water. Until my friend introduced this babe to me haha.

Bioderma used to be the thang, but they're so expensive for everyone to be able to enjoy. So when Garnier came up with their own, they pretty much own the customers when someone mentions the word "Micellar Water". Almost everyone I know owns it. At least in my country here in Malaysia. I didn't bother to try it at first. But my friend who have an amazing skin told me that she uses this everytime before she cleanse her skin, even if she's not wearing makeup, I thought I would give it a try. And I never regret!

First of all, just in case if yall don't know what a micellar water is supposed to do for the skin and how is it different than just a normal water? It's not a type of element that exists in water, it is actually a mix of purified water, mild surfectants and hydrating elements. The word micellar itself means that the water is made of oil micelles (tiny cells) suspended in soft water that are supposed to act like magnet and attracts all of the dirts, oil, dusts, grimes and other nasty things on your skin without drying your skin, which where the hydrating ingredients play part. For instance, Glycerin.

Now, let's get to the review of this bebe. Actually there's nothing much to talk about it, because it is very self explanatory. It is water, that cleanse your skin. LOL. But okay, I'll try to get to the bottom of this thing, judging it in terms of the performance of the brand, because I've used the Bioderma one, which is the mother of all micellar water, so I can compare.

It is so cheap. Like, really cheap if you ask me. It is only around RM28 ($6) for this huge bottle of 400ml. I mean, for the technology? HECK YEAH! And we all know how Watsons and Guardian are huge competitors, so they always have this on sale since it is one of their best selling products. You can buy the smaller bottle for like RM13 if you wanna test it out first.

They came out with a bunch of versions which you can choose for your skin type. I just picked the original one, which is in this pink cap, that is also suitable for sensitive skin. I've never tried the other versions, but my sister owns the yellow cap one, which is oil-infused and she loves it just as much. But I have no problem about this one that I am using.

It cleanses very well! It takes away my foundation, sunscreen, eyeshadow, my eyeliner, everything, except my waterproof mascara. I mean, it makes sense right? Only oil can take off waterproof mascara. But when I think back of when I was using Bioderma, that thing actually takes off my waterproof mascara, and it takes em off really well and fast. A lil confusing, but I mean. For Garnier's price? I really don't care much. I'll just use a separate eye makeup remover afterwards. As you can see from the third picture above, I did take most of the mascara off after vigorous rubbing. You do not want to do that onto your eyes though or else you'll create premature wrinkles.

I could settle with using my Biore oil cleanser to remove my makeup, but the thing is, I think that this micellar water helps to improve my skin. Ever since I've used it, it's pretty rare to get an acne. I pretty much used my frriend's advice, which is to use this before I wash my face. So even when I am not wearing makeup, I just use this to wipe away any dirt and oil and it makes my skin feel so fresh and clean. The best part is that you don't have to rinse it off if you don't want to, but I still do anyway since I am gonna wash my face with cleanser afterwards. But on lazy days where I don't feel liek doing my full skincare routine, I just wipe wipe wipe away my face with this, and clock off.

I am sooo recommending this to everyone! Yes you. You should own this, it will be a life changer. Go ahead to your nearest drugstore now, and don't forget about cotton pads too! Thank me later ;D

Pros :

• Very afforable
• Cleanses very well
• Not greasy residue
• No need to rinse
• Don't break me out
• Improves my skin texture

I often call men as beautiful instead of handsome when they are really, really handsome. A handsome man is one thing, but when I say a man is beautiful, it means he is an art piece. Down below is my example of a beautiful man. Lee Donghae from Super Junior, HEHE. (img source : pinterest)

First thing first, you have to know about your skin type. Is it dry, normal, oily, or combination (some parts are dry and some parts are oily)? There is several ways to test this out, but to make it simple, I would suggest for you to take a simple quiz here.

Now gentlemen, there is no such thing as a body soap that can be used as face cleanser. If you do, please stop. Body soaps are so drying, and even if you have an oily skin, it will contribute to even more oil production on your face. This is because when you use body soaps, the foam created will take away all the oil on your skin surface. You may feel clean for a little while, but dehydrated too. When this happens, your brain will notice this dehydration and send signals to tell your body to secrete more oil to moisturize your skin, hence, overproduction of oil. So, let's get to the basic steps for your beauty starter pack. And for your own good, I'll suggest only drugstore products.

1) Cleanser

The beauty industry have grown a lot that men now have more options to choose their skincare. That's good! But don't just choose what's cheap or what's trending on twitter. Try to really understand what the product offers, and for what skin type. If you have normal or dry skin, choose gentler cleanser like gel cleanser. Because, like I said, foaming cleansers may dry out your skin even more. For combination to oily skin, you guys can use foaming cleansers. Don't worry, face cleansers are not drying as much as body soaps. A lot of foaming face cleansers nowadays have moisturizing ingredients. Especially if you're an everyday motorcycle rider, foaming cleansers will help to clean dust and dirt much better. Use cleanser twice a day ; in the morning and at night.

2) Moisturizer

Finding the right moisturizer can be a little tricky, and may take a few trials and errors, especially if you're like me, a person with sensitive skin. For a start, choose a moisturizer that is simple. What I mean by simple is that it doesn't contain alcohol, fragrance or colorants that could be irritating for your skin. And if you can, find one that says SPF which means it will protect you from the sun. But if you can't, move on to the next step. Use moisturizer after cleanser, morning and night.


3) Sunscreen

This is not optional, you gotta have sunscreen. Boys, you guys play sports, ride motorbikes everyday without some SPF on? You'll damage your skin in the long run. Sunscreen is not used only to avoid skin tan and sunburn. The Sun is very damaging. Let me list some of the damages that it can do to your skin below.
