Neuzell Oxygen Bubble Cleanser from Hishop

This month, i am given the chance to review Hishop product again as a courtesy of being their brand ambassador. 
Intruducing
Neuzell Oxygen Bubble Cleanser 100ml for Rm80.91 after a 10% discount from the usual price Rm89.90 (mind you the promotion only last for November and December, so get the product fast if you think it's worth it.)

Before i start my review here's the  ingredient of this product:

Chamomile: Chamomile extracts contains active flavonoid compound that are particularly advantageous in the care of sensitive skin. Its anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, and antioxidant properties help protect the skin from free radical damage and suppress the visible signs of aging. In addition, it shows remarkable vasodilator action, augmenting blood flow to the skin and soothing of irritation.

Matricaria Recutita Oil: Also known as German Chamomile oil, is a traditional medicinal herb in European Pharmacopoeia that has the strongest anti-inflammatory compound from the daisy family. Its active organic compound of Azulene is highly potent for soothing and healing troubled skin. (this seem new to me, never heard of it, sounds special)

Algae Peptides: Contains hydroxyproline, an amino acid that increases the quantity of protein collagen in skin, cause tightening and the appearance of firmer skin. Its natural moisturizing factor drenches skin with extra moist and suppleness.
Green Tea: Contains loads of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds that support the process of differentiation and maturation of keratinocytes, ensuring a strong Stratum corneum that enhance skin protection and control sebum secretion.
Panthenol: Also known as Pro-Vitamin B5, it soothes, moisturizes the skin and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It fights free radicals and promotes healing of tissue and healthier cells regeneration. (whoa, this is the first time i ever use product with Panthenol inside)
Content: 100ml / 3.33 fl. oz.
Scent: Natural Gin Tea (yup, i can totally feel that)
Storage: Store in a cool and dry place.
Directions:
Apply sufficient amount of cleansing gel (without water) on face and leave for 20 second until bubbles are formed. Massage gently and rinse off with tepid water.
Ingredients:
Purified Water, Chamomile Extract, Matricaria Oil, Algae Peptides, Green Tea Extract, Sodium Trideceth Sulfate, Glycerin, Hexylene Glycol, Panthenol, Carbomer, Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose, Methyl Gluceth-20, Stearalkonium Chloride, Triethanolamine
Tadaa, i've have this box for four times already and i never throw it, i keep it nicely in my closet till my mum was saying "we don't have room for this anymore" and i say NO way am i going to dispose it! One box is to keep all those products empty boxes (the products of course will be kept in my beauty drawer) another box is to keep all those wonderful discounts and vouchers while the other two boxes is to keep it as a remembrance. 
haha
another best thing of www.hishop.my is that they will give you this box regardless of the size of your product is. 

the inside of the box. 

the small little card that was attached with the product. 
here are the benefits of this lovely oxygen bubble cleanser
Benefits:
·         Gently removes impurities, makeup and excessive sebum, leaving skin fresh and bright. (yeap you shall see my test on this after you scroll down)
·         Enhances cell regenerative process with a boost of oxygen into the epidermal layers.
·         Effectively maintain skin’s pH balance, prevent inflammation and sensitivity.
·         Attracts and maintain moisture, keeping skin hydrated all the time.
·         Promotes collagen production, reduce fine lines and wrinkles. (too young to know that yet, haha)
·         Inhibit sun damage caused by UV rays, lightens and brightens skin complexion.
Neuzell Oxygène Bubble Cleanser Infuse your skin in oxygenated purified water enriched with natural Chamomile, Green Tea, Algae and Matricaria oil extracts that cleanse, moistens and whitens your skin. It is great for detoxification! and nope! it has those ingredients which are suitable for acne prone skin, so don't worry
okay, first up i test it with various kind of make up. 
first from the top to the bottom
1. Clio waterproof color eyeliner
2. Maybeline Shine silver eyeshadow
3. RMK eye palette brown shades
4. Skin food waterproof gel eyeliner
5.K-palette super waterproof pen eyeliner (mind you this was so waterproof i can't even use water to wipe it off completely)
(sorry for the tangled string i wore on my hand, it's for religious purpose) 
okay the minute i pump this bubble cleanser (nope, you don't need any water at all, just use it dryly) all the eye shadow submerge cleans off without further rubbing of the gel. 

After rubbing it for 20 seconds, bubble started to form, i thought, hmm, my waterproof eyeliner will not work with this, maybe it will leave some residue behind or what. 
but...

Hey it does work!After cleaning the bubble foam up with a facial cotton wipes, it looks like this! the stubborn K-palette eyeliner was also scrape off like some vanishing cream or something. well except for a slight hint of my Clio eyeliner, everything was clean. 
Let's compare!
well it just happen i was wearing make up too. (ignore that slight pimple bump on my cheekbone, just happen to have one of those days. haha)
CC cream, foundation and blusher on my face will totally clog my pores if i did not wash it off thoroughly. So i want to try it out on my face. 

this is going to be scary~ LOL!okay, so i have to pump quite a lot of time so that it is enough to cover my big face. and yeah, i do believe it took longer time for the bubble to form than the hand though. And it wasn't that bubbly (is that how you put it? hahah) as the hand , maybe it's in a different surface?

yeap, look at my cotton wipes after scraping it off, work just like a makeup remover, 
but it works much more than a make up remover~ 

and this is the after picture. 
my eye become smaller (well, my eyeliner was washed off good as new)
my face suppose to be darker because i was putting CC cream and foundation, so if you remove it, your skin will be darker right? i see that my skin tone has not change much, so does it mean it brightens my skin?
but there's a slight hint of my blusher, but overall, i think it's quite fine. 

let's compare.  
hmmm~~ where did my orange lips go? haha
okay let's make a checklist out of this

1. Does it removes impurities, sebum and make up? oh yes, as you can see i had just did a human test on it

2. Does it maintain moisture and keep your skin hydrated everytime? i wouldn't say a long period, but it does when you apply it on your skin

3. Does it reduce lines and wrinkles? this i can't answer it yet, haha, i can't test it though

4. Does it soothes your skin? uhuh

5. Does it maintain skin's PH balance that prevent inflammation and sensitivity?
so far so good, my pink pimple bump on the left cheekbone had subsided today (one day after this picture were taken)

my rating would be 4/5!
i like that it removes my make up like a real makeup remover, and how i feel that it soothes up the skin after applying it. It's also good for those who feel that it's troublesome to splash cold water on your face just to rinse off your makeup or residue, because this could be use without water and yet produce bubble foams. 

Last but not least, i would like to thank Hishop Malaysia for this, giving me so many chances now to review on their wonderful products. Of course not forgetting Mabel for selecting me too.

My Christmas wishlist for Hermo

Finally, this is my first wish list for Christmas after blogging for three years. 
i don't believe in Santa, but when i heard that Santa Hermo is going down one of our chimneys , i am so excited to make my wish list for him to make it come true! Thanks The Butterfly Project Malaysia for collaborating with them. 
yes, they are giving away Rm80 worth of product to lucky bloggers (didn't state how many, but i hope i am one of them) i saw lots of people wishing for Laneige product, but seeing that i still have a set of Laneige at home (my birthday gift, i'm not that rich) i make it a pass and focus on mask and make up ( :
so here is my wish list

1st: Shills Black Gel Mask Rm52.90 (after 34% off) usual price is Rm79
 (click the picture to go to the atcual link of product)
I am attracted with this product because it has so many reviews on it, and those reviews were on the positive sides. Shills is from Taiwan and they have various stores around Malaysia. Any product that comes from the Asian country is quite suitable for Asian skin. here are the product description:
Product:
Shills Black Gel Mask
Brand:
Shills
Effect:
Firming, Controlling Oil, Moisturizing, Whitening
Capacity:
150ml
Made in:
Taiwan
Suitable For:
All Skin Types
MFG:
Date Subject To Product Received. 
Caption:
Genuine Product With Box.




and now you can see why i am eyeing on Shills Black gel mask, the only problem i am facing right now is tons and tons of blackheads on my nose. and those tiny little bumps on my foreheads. From those reviews that i had read, a lot said that it makes the skin smoother and it is very well moisturize too. it can also whitens your skin making it brighter . 
no kidding, three people i met in one month had just told me i had become darker.
It is good to tighten the pores too, and yeah! i can use it everyday. 


and okay, a lot of people would wonder what's the ingredient inside (matters alot especially for sensitive skin people)
seeing that it is in chinese, mind you i'm half banana (i'm a chinese yet don't know chinese yet taking chinese for SPM! how cool is that =..='')  and if you know chinese this picture will help . 

NEXT wish list number two is : MISS HANA waterproof eye liner Rm26 (after 21%off)
Usual price (Rm32.90)
The minute i saw that Hermo has MISS HANA, i went bouncing from the living room to the bedroom and to the bathroom and back to the living room again. 
ahaha, that was just a metaphor to tell that i seriously want this badly because of so many blogger reviewing it and it was on the positive side. 

I do not like those eye liner where it would smudge and this is really a big deal when you are out whole day and you have that kind of panda eyes looking at other people obliviously and unaware that you had smudge your eyeliner. And ya, some eyeliner need to be drawn over and over again because it is not smooth enough (the color won't stay on too) so again and again you drew it like an angry reindeer. (*troll face*) 
but this seem attractive, after reading reviews of bloggers out there. 


Here's the product description!
Product:Miss Hana Waterproof Eyeliner Gel Pen
Brand:Miss Hana
Effect:Modeling Eye
Capacity:
1.5g
Made in:Taiwan
Suitable For:All Types
MFG:Date Subject To Product Received. Approximately 3 Years Shelf Time
Caption:
Genuine Product With Box. 



It comes with four color which is 
1. Night Black 
2. Galaxy Black
3. Choco Brown
4. Golden Brown



i want Night black seeing that my old black eyeliner is coming to the end of it's life span. (should prepare some coffin to bury the last piece of it already)

ahaha a piece of my imagination. 


last but not least, to thank www.hermo.my for collaborating with The Butterfly Project for giving us bloggers the chance to fulfill our christmas wish list. 

Here's how Bloggers can participate too!

1st step: Browse Hermo and look for products up to Rm80 that you love (i took three hours to pick my product, like literally just sat in my chair looking at products after products)

2nd Step: Make a wish list and link it to the product page!

3rd step: post it up! easy peasy simple-pimple! (yet forgive me for being quite late in posting due to STPM)

here's the period: 25th-14th DECEMBER: create your wish list on your blog
17th-24th December: Santa Hermo will grant you your wishes (if you're lucky and being a good girl)

and yeah, HERMO  is having their christmas promotions too!
have a look at their website for all the sales in super value and you can get gift sets for your love ones too.

Why everyone should visit Kuala Lumpur by Guest Blogger Marta Valez






Why everyone should visit Kuala Lumpur

      Hello! My name is Marta and I came to Kuala Lumpur from Europe a few months ago. I have to confess I never taught about Malaysia as I place where I would live… or even visit.  Honestly in Europe the information we have about the country is really low and even though I did my research before deciding to come here I never knew exactly what to expect.  Can you believe that when I showed my friends the skyline of Kuala Lumpur, with all the skyscrapers, they couldn’t believe it? I am not saying that everyone has this perception but a lot of people associate Malaysia with this image of an exotic country, a paradise beach with wood houses and not much more.

Well my friends, I have to say that Kuala Lumpur and Malaysia are much more than that (and you bet that one by one I’ll make sure to tell this to everyone that I can).  For me Kuala Lumpur was nothing else than a pleasant surprise: a place where the west meets the east, the big skyscrapers meet the busy and sometimes confusing Asia.

My reasons to say everyone coming to Asia should stop by Kuala Lumpur and local people should (because sometimes they don’t) appreciate more what they have? The food, the people, the weather (although that’s arguable), the landscapes and the rooftops.

I never travelled everywhere but I can imagine that here it is possible to find something from everywhere. Big buildings with amazing rooftop bars, trendy restaurants and the coolest clubs: I have to say I don’t miss Europe Social Life that much; Paradise islands one/two hours and a few bucks away; amazing places to shop, from all the expensive brands to the bargaining in Chinatown; amazing food: a mix of indian, Indonesia, chinese, thai and so forth (the hardest part is to choose) I can only strongly advice everyone to try the NasiLemak in the banana leaf (the most typical from Malay cuisine, composed by rice boiled in coconut milk, peanuts, anchovies, egg and cucumber and it can be accompanied by chicken or fish) and the Naan, that is nothing more than indian bread, but it is on my top 3 favorite things here (and we cannot get it like this n Europe).

Obviously I miss things from back home:  Stupid things like having for seasons, expressos (Italian coffee), good football matches (ahaha); but I have to confess that Malaysia is a place where I could see myself living.

I decided to write about this topic to try to appeal to two different audiences: to foreign people that don’t know much about Malaysia be sure you’ll book the next flight and for locals that don’t appreciate Malaysia and KL and they should: do it. Malaysia has a lot to growth and develop, it is truth! But it’s really worthy as it is now as well!

Blogging about my life, finally!

after endless strings of adverts on my blog post, i really need to post something up about my life, or else this blog doesn't seem to be my blog anymore! ): 
hello guys, this is my ootd for sending off my sister back to Singapore. for the first time i get to wear my newly bought shoes with this cute little bow socks. 
Sweater: Mango
Top inside: Cotton On
Skirt: Chicnova
Shoes: from a shoe shop in Hatyai
Socks: from there too! lol
bag: beauty bag from Sephora

wee, i'm levitating. 
actually this was a trick picture. 
i was actually lying on the floor with my feet up high againts the wall. 
so i crop it, rotate it upside down, and it looks like i'm levitating

okay, i've been busy lately with my final exam. Mind you STPM was like A-level (they say it was even harder but every exams had their levels) i didn't poke much on my academics this sem, because i was hook on my stupid smartphone. mind you online-ing was so much fun than reading books (unless it was about hunger games)

 and i've passed my lovely 500th days with my boyfie. Mum finally got the nerve to ask me face to face who he was after 500th days of being with him!
cannot imagine that though. 
i can't wait to go Langkawi with a group of new friends . ( like seriously i do not know 80 percent of them in that group) i get to go because my 2nd cousin and his girlfriend brave themselves to ask my dad if i can go. 
nevertheless, i still haven't break the  eggs that Dan is going too. i hope they know that he's going. LOL! because parents, whenever they heard of you and your boyfriend going off somewhere spending the nights with a group of  hormone wrecking teenagers, they have this kind of thought. 

just like my cousin joked, go 11 people, come back 12 people. (if you know what i mean)

and i am officially now an iphone user!
finally a front camera! damn, i  know i damn slow in picking up the technology phase , but hey, i don't splurge on gadgets, i splurge on clothes! haha, thanks to my sister for giving me her old phone =..=

and i got my lovely OASAP clothes from the credits i earned !
seriously with only 80 credits i get four of these clothes! (i still have leftovers 5 credits after spending of these four items, damn worth it)

and i finally did a full outfit pictures for Choies.com
damn, i seriously took a long time for that, sorry!

and i finally ended my high school life! yes, international readers out there, this is what malaysian students wear for their high school. 
this is what i wrote for the babes and the dudes~
today is the last day we meet each other 

today officially mark the end of our pre-uni life
no more bullying each other,
no more laughing together or laughing at each other's height
no more illegally play cards in class
no more listening to one another's problem and having those big reaction whenever we hear something indifferent. 
and no more asking the boys to shut up because they keep singing
no more asking the girls to stop talking and shouting or, well, practically screaming
sometimes~
no more complaining about the economy teacher even though we know well this is the one and only lesson we pay close attention to it. 
and last but not least~ no more eating each other food like piranhas regardless of whose saliva is whose
great memories were made, imprinted in, 
we shall go different road later on , but i shall never forget those fun we have together
*babes and the dudes 2012/2013*



and i have fun with this apps! do you rather i be a babe or a dude? haha, i think i look more handsome as a boy than a girl. my friend joke that since when i do look fuller on the bust. LOL!


and i bought this super comfy dress from Padini Authentics. it's quite big and too long for my liking, but i really like the back (very very low back )

till then will update frequently once my STPM finishes! damn, i still have two more paper to go!

xoxo
