If you are a nail lover and love to have a DIY Manicure session once in awhile then you are probably not a stranger to cuticle nipper.

A cuticle nipper is use to cut off your cuticles and dead skin cells around your nails so that your nails are able to look clean and pretty. For me though, a good nipper should be sharp - able to cut off the cuticles in one shot without tugging, comfortable to hold, and different lengths to choose from.

Browsing all the options available in the marketplace, I finally found the one and only - AAA Nippers from Vietnam!

Comes with different models and lengths, everyone are able to find the one that they desired.

For me, the IL-03 Jaw 12 is the perfect fit for me! It comes with double spring model and shortest length (4mm). I prefer the shortest length so that I'm able to get the stubborn cuticles in the corner.

Besides it is made with stainless steel, so that we don't really have to worry about problems like rusting.

I bought this cuticle nipper with RM45. It's kinda pricey for amateurs like us but it can last a long time (if you keep it from falling) and so I thought it is a good purchase.

So there is a new brand called "SPAMONI" that recently launched its own body butter line.

The Body Butter comes with two flavors which are Pomegranate & WheatGerm and Citrus & Camellia.

So as you can see from the picture above, the green colored jar is Citrus & Camellia (CC) while the pink colored jar is Pomegranate & WheatGerm (PW). Now, what is the differences between these two?

PW Butter is a restorative body butter with a light and velvety soft texture that absorbs rapidly for silky smooth skin. The sumptuous formula blends with luxurious ingredients, delivers optimal hydration and anti-aging properties with a crisp fruity floral fragrance.

Pomegranate: 82% water hydrating & reduce wrinkles
Wheat Germ: good for circulation & maintain even skin tone

So in essence, this body butter targeted on demographics who want seek solution for aging and dehydrated skin.

CC Butter is a repair body butter packed with moisturizing: protective and ultra-soothing properties for relieving dry irritated skin. It helps to restore the natural barrier, making it more resilient. Coats skin with a relaxing sensation and refreshing citrus fragrance to uplift the body and senses.

Citrus: reduce inflammation and calm pain & redness irritation.
Camellia & etc: support the repair of new cells & treat rough skin (e.g. cracking heel)

So basically this butter is suitable for people with sensitive skin. It offers ingredients that able to reduce irritation of skin and repair it as well.

After using SPAMONI Butters for months, what I really like the most the how non-oily it is! We often saw many body lotion/cream advertisement that claims their product is fast absorb and non-oily but end up in disappointment.

However Spamoni Butters does perform what it claimed to be! It takes about 20 seconds for the butter to be adsorb into skin and I didn't felt any stickiness or oiliness afterwards.

Last year, I bought these butters back home for the first time and my mum saw it. She asked for the information of the products and so I told her. After let her tried one of the butters, she immediately sold off and asked me to purchase more for her so that she can use it for Christmas Gift Exchange event.

Overall, I'm having great experience with this brand so far and will continue to purchase the body butter.

If you are living in Malaysia or Singapore, you can purchase in the link provided below.

Finally I changed my phone last Thursday. This time I decided to try on one of the latest model from Oppo, the F1 Plus. Sawing many of my friends are using Oppo phone which undeniably makes me leave a good impression on it. If this brand is suck, then no one would use them right?

Since I have more free time to enjoy now, I find myself browsing online shopping website more than usual. By scrolling through all these new and old product released by different companies, few have captured my attention and I wish I could buy them impulsively (if only I have money). So I thought I can made a wishlist here, to remind myself purchase these goodies when I've money.

Having my long semester break as you know if you read my previous entry. During the first week of holiday, I managed to finish reading two books that I purchased from Popular bookstore.

If you've been keeping up with all the beauty news and hype, surely there's a chance that you would heard of cushion foundation. Created in Korea beauty industry and exported into Western society, cushion foundation found it's way to climb on top that even Lancome, L'oreal, and Maybeline even launched their own cushion. Despite it's popularity do you know how to apply cushion foundation correctly?

Contour is on fire nowadays, go to YouTube and type in "contour" and there are thousands of contour tutorial videos appear on the screen instantly.

Hello, in this post I'm going to write about another brows product by A'Pieu. Truth to be told, I am not familiar with this brand at all. Over the last few months, I received a A'Pieu hand cream by my friend who just came back from South Korea and that's how I became aware of it.

Brows, brows, brows. We all know the importance of brows, it can made you look innocent, fierce, or even clean. That's why we have to consider the shape of our brows all the time to match our mood, or outfit.

For this post, I am going to talk about a product from The Face Shop which is The Therapy Essential Tonic Treatment.

First of all, I bought this for quite awhile that's why I finished the bottle already. So that's why I thought I should share my opinion to you all.

Why did I buy this product? This is because I want to add an anti aging product in my skincare routine since I am in my 20s and wish to invest in anti aging for long term effects. And the other reason would be the packaging.

This is actually a combination of toner and treatment that helps to tones dry, rough skin while essential oil delivers anti-aging treatment effects.

The Face Shop uses Marche anti-aging technology which is a traditional handmade therapy in Italy that helps to deliver vitality to aging skin, makes it healthy with elasticity.

This toner contains Hyaluronic acid that strengthen skin elasticity and moisture and Panthenol (a

precursor of vitamin B5) for anti-inflammatory.

Check out the packaging! It is so elegant and classic. The bottle comes with a luxurious appearance that gives a European feel. The details of the print and the beautiful glass bottle, amazing. The bottle does weight a bit and quite sturdy but the design is really pretty.

The texture is gel based and quite heavy at first. It is relatively runny and watery. You can apply this treatment on a cotton pad and use it as a toner, or you rub this on your hands first and then massage your face for a quickly replenish treatment.

If you apply it with a cotton pad, then it can be spread thinly and evenly over the skin and making it to be absorb much more faster.

It feels quite oily at first but as I mentioned above, with a cotton pad it absorbs quickly and patting it gently can get rid of the oiliness and greasiness in no time.

The scent is very calming and relaxing with a subtle floral scent.

As for the effect, I like to say that this is a good toner/treatment for moisturizing purpose, it provides a decent amount of moisturize effect and makes your skin soft and lovely.

However, if you use it as toner, then I would say it does not cleanse the skin as thoroughly as Etude House Wonder Pore Toner.

As toner is the last step of cleansing but this product is more like a moisture booster. I did not see any significant changes on my face since the fine lines under my eyes still remained but personally I think it work best if you use the whole The Therapy line together.

If you have a dry skin, then I would say go for it. I mean it can provide moisture to your skin so why not.

But if you have an oily skin, then I would say not really suited but if you want to try it out then go ahead since each product works differently on different person.

I guess it's time to wrap it out, once again thanks for reading.
Remember to follow my blog.

Everything will be rosy.

When it comes to exfoliate, what will you choose? Facial scrub, peeling gel or some exfoliating facial mask?

Since our skin renew every 28 days, each time the old skin cell will be push up to the top layer of skin and replaced by the new and healthy skin cells.

So we need to get rid of it by exfoliating, or else it could lead to serious clogged pores, more acne, make up will cake up easily and flaky skin showed.

I used to use the facial scrub because I can feel all the fine grain massage all over my face.

However you should be careful when using scrub, when you rub too hard it may leave an invisible scar on you face.

I still haven't got the chance of using mask pack that has exfoliate features, such as Skin Food Black Sugar Mask because I do not have the money. (#firstworldproblem)

However after some years I exposed to the peeling gel which you can easily get rid of those dead skin cell, dust and dirt on your skin by rubbing the dead skin cell off directly and effortlessly.

It is easy and fun, I always like to view the dead skin cell that comes off my skin, and thought how did this grey skin stayed on my face without noticed it.

While I randomly scrolled through Etude House again, I saw this Moistfull Collagen Peeling Wash. And I must have it!

Now the packaging is nothing special, just a tube with the famous orange/coral color that the Collagen line has.

If you have been to Etude House store, you will surely see this color, since this is one of their best selling line and product that they have been promoting all the entire time.

Love the color!

The texture is unlike most of the peeling wash I have encountered so far, most of them are like clear gel texture, but this thing, my friend let me tell you it has a relatively rough gel texture.

When you spread it out, you can see the little jelly particles inside it. I think these jelly particles are the replacement for fine sugar grain which is more gentle to our skin.

The scent is similar to all the Moistfull Collagen line which is so good, so nice, so lovely. I just love the smell so much.

Just spread all over your face and massage for couple minutes and you are done.

One thing that I don't get it is that I can't seem to find the old skin cell that peeled off from my face, after cleansing and massage I can only see the tiny jelly particles.

So I really doubt whether this peeling wash does peel off all the impurities or not.

Undeniable my face do feel super smooth after using this, kinda like the Ginvera marvelwhite gel that I used before.

One good thing is that it provide and retain sufficient moisture even after all the cleansing and massage process. It is the Moistfull Line after all.

In conclusion, if you want an exfoliate product that does not suck up too much moisture from your skin, you should give this peeling wash a chance.

Do you have a healthy tanned skin? Do you like the Korean Beauty products such as cushion? Do you hate the limited shades that they offered to the pale tone only?

Fear not my friend, it seems that Innisfree know all our concern and decided to launched the new shades for tanned skin tone people.

This is a great move from Innisfree as they normally carry the relatively light tone shades for people with pale skin. I hope that all other brand can follow the footstep of Innisfree and offered a large range of shades as well.

They also launched another shades which is for pale tone, shade 11 aka ivory. Whoever can use this shades, man I envy you so much, like seriously.

This new version cushion also added a new feature which is pore blur effect which you know cover up you pores and reduce the appearance of it.

Today I borrowed the cushions from my friend so that I can show you the swatches of these shades.

I am going to show you swatches in this post, no review. Beware my swatches game is not strong.

Can I raved about the puff first. Don't you think it is a good applicator? Smooth and even, it does all that. Even Michelle Phan mentioned in one of her videos saying that she used the puff more than the product sometimes.

Pony also used the puff to blend her foundation and concealer as well.

First one is shade 31 aka sand beige. This shades has yellow undertone in it. It remind me of caramel though.

Next one is shade 33 aka deep beige. This shades has a gorgeous brownish color in it. It still has yellow undertone. This shades can made you look like you have a perfect chocolate skin tone, which is pretty in my opinion.It made you look very sporty and sunny.

To show you how dark the shades are, I am going to compared it with the darkest shade from Etude House Precious Mineral Any Cushion.

See the differences now? Although Etude House cushion is for warm tone but it does not have the strong yellow undertone in it.

That all for this post. Thanks for reading.
Everything is rosy.

Don't you just love how your face are so radiant and brighten everything time you finish your skincare routine? So am I!

Our skin look the best whenever it has absorb sufficient moisture and nutrition from all the goodies.

The Etude House Pearl Aura Brightening Essence definitely bring the game on the next level. Just one product is enough to pamper your skin?

Check it out.

"This is a brightening essence that contains Tahiti black pearl extract based fine aurora particles that enhance the skin's natural transparent glow, brightening up dull areas for the effect of just awakened, fresh skin."

"With sufficient moisture and skin-friendly properties this essence absorbs quickly without the use if cotton pads, hugging the skin with its smooth texture for a healthy glow skin."

"Dispense a certain amount onto palms hands, spreading from inner to outer areas of face, lightly patting to absorbs remaining contents."

Inside the bottle has "Aura Particle" that is so fine that my DSLR cannot capture at all. But it is shimmer that make your face reflect the sunlight so that your face look so bright.

Other than that, it also has deep clean ocean water that contains natural moisture ingredients that help us to achieve clear and transparent skin!

Look at the packaging please. It is so elegant and so classy. How could you resist this?

The bottle is in silver color but some hints of purple color will be reflected under the sunlight. Gorgeous, seriously gorgeous. Have more of this design, please.

OK, the reason I bought this product is mostly influenced by the packaging. And the Etude House Malaysia website has been recommend this product for some times, so I thought why not?

Besides that, it got pump applicator. Anything with pump is a good thing for me.

Easy to get the essence out, clean and hygiene.

It is light as water and runny as well. Apply smoothly without any problem.

Did you see the glow on my hand! That what I want my skin to have everyday. It makes the skin look healthier and fresh.

It scent though, smells like light perfume but very soothing. I enjoy it a lot.

Overall, it is a decent product not too bad not too good. Why do I say so?

I have used this essence for half year now (or maybe more), but the problem that it has is that the brightening effect does not last long. About 3 hours? Then my skin look dull again.

It does help to moisture as well, this is great when you need those light sufficient moisture when you are rush to work or school.

But I don't have any transparent or clear skin as it promised in long term. This is one of the product that you need to apply everyday to achieve that clear skin.

No break out from using this product so that's good.

I would recommend this product to oily skin as well. It is so light and absorb quickly that your skin won't feel sticky or oily.

Actually I really like all the dewy look which the face is healthy and glowing. However! The big pores I have made me not to enjoy it!

It makes the pores more noticeable and like attract other people attention over to the ugly pores rather than your glowing face.

So the not-so-exaggerate glow that this essence provide is a good alternative for someone like me, who like dewy skin but unable to do it because of the enlarged pores.

Interesting product, but I noticed the box has written"Whitening Efficiency" on it. Sadly, it should be brightening efficiency if I am correct. Nope, this essence does not has any whitening effects.

The review ends here. Thanks for reading.

Not too long ago I published my review on the Wonder Pore Clearing emulsion and tightening essence, so today I am going to review the another new addition to the line, Balancing Cream.

Even though in Malaysia, I normally do not apply cream on day time since it is humid and hot. Apply heavy or intense moisture cream could made our face look greasy quickly under scorching sun.

However we should apply cream at night in order to retain moisture while we are sleeping especially in air conditioner room.

"This is a pore moisture cream containing peppermint extract with a formula that evens out the pore's oil and moisture balance for smooth pores"

"After applying Wonder Pore Clearing Emulsion, dispense a certain amount and spread gently onto face"

Let's talk about the PACKAGING, it has a sturdy plastic body in slight dark blue and a silver cap. Open the cap, you'll see another small cap act as a separator to prevent dust falling into the cream and preserve the hygiene.

For those who concern with the cleanliness/ appearance of the product could get so frustrated in this cream. The cap can easily get fingerprint all over. It was so cool at first but now it just become so dirty with printed print on it.

So I never bother to clean it.

The cream comes with a spatula as well.

The SCENT is similar to the other products in this series as well, a faint fresh fragrance that is not too overwhelming.

The cream is in GEL TEXTURE (similar with Baobab moist cream)which can apply smoothly on our skin. The consistency is quite thick as well, like a gel mask.

It takes a while to absorb completely hence I do not apply on daytime. Although it is rich in moisture however it does not feel sticky or oily upon application.

Even though it is not sticky or oily, however I just don't like to apply cream in daytime. Just emulsion would be enough.

Supposedly this cream not only provide you moisture but also help to maintain the oil balance as well. Moisture and oil need to be balanced so that the skin will not be dehydrate or too oily.

OVERALL I like this cream, it does a good job at moisturizing as you can see from the pic above, I mean look at how moisture it is!

Just apply a thin layer before you sleep definitely help you to have a soft face next morning.

About oil balancing? Sorry I could not tell you because I use it as night cream so I could not experience how it control the balance.

What can I tell you about is that most of the Etude House cream products come in small sizes. For this cream, even I used it once a day but I almost used up more than half of it for one month.

So it is quite expensive for its size in Malaysia.
