My driving anxiety

21:45 kelvin 0 Comments

Today I am talking about an anxiety that have been following me 
since the moment I am able to drive by myself

So what is an anxiety?

I found this pretty interesting picture in Pinterest that able to explain


So I really have a stressful thought that aroused me whenever I am driving!

WHAT MAKES ME SO STRESSFUL?

I always have the thought that I will be crash other people's car and didn't notice it. In order to counter back this anxiety. I always open the window every time I drive car.

Yes, I don't even turn on the air-conditioner. Can you image the high temperature sensation I experienced especially in the tropical country Malaysia.

Why do I open the window then, because in that way I am able to noticed whether I crash into other objects or car. I know this is kind of stupid, however I can listen more clearly to what ever happened outside the car.

However, even though I opened the window and safety back home, my mind will still thinking all the nonsense inside. For example, today when I was driving, I heard a loud "BANG" sound.

However I did not crash into other people, car or objects, but when I am back home the mind start thinking that "Did I actually crushed into people without knowing it?" "Will the police come and arrest me?", something like this.

Sometimes I will even ask my friend that used the same road whether there are any accidents or injuries when they back home.

Even though I have this anxiety doesn't mean I am suck at driving ok? I didn't have any bad record or accidents in my driving experience over three years. It just my brain is too freaking active and like to imagine all the nonsense.

Anyway, besides this anxiety I also have the anxiety where I think people will dislike and boycott me
But that is another story...

So anyway this is my biggest problem in driving!
Bye!

Etude House 에뛰드하우스 Beauty Shot Face Blur Review (First Impression)

15:12 kelvin 4 Comments

Hey guys! Today I will be doing a review on Etude House newly launched product Face Blur cream.

I purchased this product from an online shop since it is not available in Malaysia outlet yet. I just received it yesterday.

This new product was introduced in January. It has an interesting concept which allow us to have a photoshop skin in reality. We all want our skin look like our flawless profile/ photoshop picture, right?

So this cream can help us get rid of this problem!

Personally I think this is definitely a strong start of Etude House for the beginning of 2015



The moment I saw the advertisement of this cream on YouTube, I decided to buy it instantly without a second thought. I mean how can you resist any product endorsed by Krystal! 

Description
"This lightweight cream provides multi-blurring effects for instantly refined and smooth skin. Skin's texture is smoothed: pores minimized and complexion brightened."

Direction:
"Smooth over entire face after moisturizer and before makeup"



The packaging of the product is really simple, it is in coral-pink color and has a pump which is similar to Etude House BB Cream. So it is really hygiene and easily to control the amount. The bottle is small and portable as well.

The scent is kinda flowery and it is not really strong.

This cream has the texture which remind me of Baby Choux Base but with less oil.
It really spread out easily like water and lightweight too. Other than that, it also has a peach undertone with it, to brighten up the skin of course!


Sorry if you hardly see any different through camera, however it does brighten up my skin!
Ingredients:

This cream comes with SPF 15/PA+ and promise to achieve three different effects 
1. Smoothing
2. Pore Hiding
3. Tone Up
Basically, this cream act as a primer/base before putting any BB Cream or foundation


Overall, I think this cream did not really surprise me that well. To some extend, I think it is somehow similar to Baby Choux Base. Both of them brighten up the skin in similar way.
The only different would be Face Blur can blurred my pores so it is less noticeable.

Before: big and ugly pores

Application

After: see how it brighten up my skin and blurred the pores
No Edit
I know we can use pore cover primer to achieve pore-less skin however most of them do not brighten up the skin. And this is the convenient and main selling point of this product.

Achieve three effects at once!  

The sebum control of this cream is pretty good too. It is lightweight that I don't feel like there is a layer on my face.

But as I mentioned above this product does not blow my mind off, maybe I have a high expectation of it.

The coverage is minimal, it can't cover up blemishes and acne very well. So you need to put another layer of BB Cream or foundation if you want.

Besides that, it only comes in one color so it may makes the skin look way too pale on dark-toned skin. But it gives you a natural look and velvety finish that you can go out with only this cream! 



BTW, if you are living in Malaysia, Etude House is having a Buy 1 Free 1 promotion every day in February!

That's all for today, See you next time!

Ginvera MarvelWhite Zero Blackhead Marvel Gel Review

18:28 kelvin 0 Comments

Hello!
Apa khabar?



Today we are going to review a drugstore product which is Ginvera MarvelWhite Zero Blackhead Marvel Gel

Okay~first thing first, this product promises that we can get rid of the stubborn blackhead on our nose just in one step.

As you know Korean beauty skincare that aims to get rid of blackhead normally uses multiple step for example Etude House Blackhead Removal Dual Sheet and Holika Holika Pig-Nose Clear Blackhead 3-step kit



Yes, it is too troublesome and time consuming to perform multiple steps. Hence this product save you time and effort!




This product claims to 
1. Rub away blackheads painlessly
2. Remove dead skin, bring brighter & finer complexion
3. Fade dark spots and acne scars
4. Refine the appearance of pores
5. Better absorption to skin care products follow

It contains Green Tea Extract to fight free radicals and protect the skin from UVB radiation.
It also has Swiss Cress Sprout & Soy Bean Extract which help to giving visible whitening result and maintain moisture at the same time.
Other than that, Japanese Shiso Extract provides anti-inflammatory benefits! 


Packaging: In a tube form, simple design that white and green color are mainly printed on it. It is very simple, straightforward kind of packaging, so I think normally it won't stand out of the shelf if you don't look for it carefully.


 Texture: It is in gel form, the color of gel is green but half transparent (if you get me). It apply smoothly on my face and has a cooling sensation.

Scent: I don't know how to describe it precisely however to me it smell kind of artificially. But it is fine to me, as the scent is quite faint. 

Effect: This product can use not only on nose area but also entire face as well. Quite neat huh?
It require a dry face before apply, however every time when I applied the gel on my dry face the gel turns to become more watery and "liquid". 
So we are supposed to rub it on our face until small white flakes or known as dead skin cell to come out.
Please remember blackhead is supposed to be polluted dead skin cell as well.


It takes me FREAKING LONG TIME to rubbed off the dead skin cell, like freaking long.
I never face this problem when I used Nugeno Men exfoliater before. 
Besides that, it also takes lots of products on your entire face, and the tube contain so little amount of products, which is kinda dissopointed.

 After rubbing for long time and you have flakes come out! Yes it is disgusting.
However you skin will fell so soft and smooth afterwards.


Does it get rid of blackhead, yes but the effect is not significant.
Does it reduced my pores size? I do not see a different though
Reduce acne marks? No different to me as well
Smooth and fair complexion? I can see a bit improvement of my complexion

Overall, this product can use to exfoliate, get rid of blackhead and in extremely affordable price compared to Korean skin care. However, it takes long time of rubbing and contained small amount as well. BTW, it is stated that it is suitable for daily use as well!

Anyway you can find this product mainly in Watson or Guardian. It also offer a trial version of tube (much more cheaper of course) which allow you to try it beforehand. Thumbs up for good consideration!


Goodbye!
