Makeup, Skincare and Body Care : Products Worth Trying #1
Saturday, December 13, 2014
Assalamualaikum and hello! This post is dedicated to products that I think worth trying by everyone :) Some of you might want to buy it, but then you feel unsure whether it will be a good investment or not, am I right? The same goes to me, sometimes when a new product came out I feel the hype to own it but in the end, will I really love to use it all up, or not? I hope this new series will be my alternative to recommend products especially when I am getting busier for a full product review, hehe! Enjoy ^_^
1. Philosophy Purity Made Simple
Hands down, this is my next holy grail facial cleanser! It removes makeup traces well from my skin, sometimes it dissolves my eyeliner as well, great great great ^_^ It left my skin feeling so fresh and clean, like a sparkling crystal glass freshly wiped off dusts can you get it? Hahaha! The best thing about this Purity Made Simple is, it does not dry out my skin, it does not give that tightness feeling on my skin, and is actually a 3-in-1 product as claimed by Philosophy (makeup remover-cleanser-toner) that's why it only comes with the Hope In A Jar moisturizer. Purity Made Simple smells like air sirap limau if you ask me, honestly.
2. Bourjois 123 Perfect CC Cream
I have the most epic love-hate relationship with this CC cream but I come back for it anyways. It is oily on my skin. I don't know how much oily is dewy but the mind-boggling thing here is, my skin looked pretty with this Bourjois 123 Perfect CC Cream on. I want to kick it to the curb for having no mercy towards the oiliness on my face but hug it fiercely at the same time for making my skin look fabulous with just one layer. So far, I don't see my local beauty blogger friends reviewing this CC cream saying that it turned out oily at the end of the day. Most of them only said that it is good or how to achieve the look so maybe it is just my skin being oily with this CC cream. This CC cream is very runny and thin, but the coverage is worth being praised! I mix it with a drop of Body Shop tea tree oil to overcome pimple problem and it is working fine. But the fact that I still need to blot my face 3-4 times is so not cool. Anyhow, you can check JQ's review here to know her advice about this CC cream and its partner the CC eye cream :)
3. Safi Shayla Anti Dandruff Shampoo | Safi Shayla Fresh and Bounce Shampoo
I got to make my mom fell in love with Safi Shayla range, hehe! I use both shampoo alternately as I experience itchy scalp and uncomfortable feeling on my head due to wearing the headscarf in Malaysia's hot and humid weather. Both anti dandruff and fresh & bounce shampoo left my hair smelling so good, soft and manageable. I have dry hair and they always look so voluminous but after using Safi Shayla range, my hair does not feel heavy and unruly anymore. I also have completely used a bottle of Safi Shayla scalp freshner (it was amazing!) but I am so pissed off now because I cannot find it in Tesco Melaka (the only convenient shopping place for me at the moment). They only sell the shampoo -_-

4. 4eb Spotless OCM Blend
I was gifted with this 4eb Spotless OCM Blend from 4 Elements Beauty and I yet to make a review series for everything I have tried. OCM stands for "oil cleansing method" if you are still not familiar with it. I SUPER LOVE this product! It left my skin so clean, so soft and fresh feeling every time after I use it to cleanse all makeup/makeup traces/grime from my face. 4eb is currently undergoing some refurbishment so it is yet to be accessible until further notice. I hope that once they start selling again, you guys can try their OCM blends (for normal skin/for acne skin) and experience the wonders it has to offer ^_^ maybe you can check the owner's blog about all natural skincare for now? Her name is Mrs.Salmah and she is a very helpful lady who is very knowledgeable on natural skincare products ;) If you'd like to get this oil blend, maybe you can try email her at preciousmecares@gmail.com and tell her that you got to know about her oil blends from me okay ;)

I love trying out BB or CC creams but so far I only tried Korean brands - TheFaceShop and Etude House, and definitely never tried non-Korean brand for this type of makeup item probably because of my perception that only Koreans do BB and CC creams. LOL when I saw Bourjois CC cream the other day, I was like.. huh?? I love their Healthy Mix foundation so far so yes, I'm actually looking forward to try that as well.
ReplyDeleteLove posts like this so keep 'em coming!

actually there are lots of western brand bb creams but they're not available here. sebab tu kita biasa dengan brand korean je. i would not advise Bourjois CC cream for those with oily skin coz it is really troublesome tapi kalau rajin blot memang takde hal ;)
DeleteWoohooo~ the Philosophy Purity Made Simple sound interesting!! Should I or should not?? eheee..
ReplyDeleteBtw, nice review mieza ;)
Thanks for visiting Pika, muahh! This is an awesome cleanser but it is only for cleansing lah, no added benefits for targeted skin concern. Tapi memang best lah, I wont say no, hehe XD
DeleteNice recommendations, I'm currently using the safi shayla blue colors with pink cap bottle along with the conditioner. I used to use Head & Shoulders and it didn't work for me at all, the itch goes away but only for a while. So far I'm really happy using the Safi Shayla one.
ReplyDeleteI've heard good reviews about the Bourjois CC Cream too from Shasha & Shivani, still contemplating whether to get it or stick to the serum one, since the serum ones looks so natural on my skin compared to other brands and I think it's the best smelling foundation ever.
Safi Shayla is the best kan for us yang bertudung ni ^_^ I nak cari the Scalp Freshner and beli like 2-3 bottles sebab kat Melaka susah nak dapat, sadis betul.
DeleteThis CC Cream, honestly, is not the IT thing for girls with oily skin. If you have dry skin, it would be fabulous ^_^ but if you rajin blot macam I, sila beli sebab dia marvelous :)
my favorite khiels cleanser dah habis and i want to try something else. were eyeing on the Philosophy Purity Made Simple. aaaa... but its rm85. want to buy perhaps some day! looks promising plus you sold me!
ReplyDeletethe main reason i drafted this post for so long and finally made it is because of you Sab, hehe! I promised to tell about Purity Made Simple but I yet to make a full post on it, so I did this post instead with hope you read it, hehe! get it get it :p
Deletelaa... hahahaha! thanks mieza! but really. i'm now convinced to buy this. dayum! XD
Deletei know you're definitely convinced sebab Sab memang dah lama nak Purity Made Simple kan :p Try la tengok Sephora punya Christmas set ada tak Purity ni ;) maybe boleh dapat dengan harga yang berbaloi ke, hehe! Mieza kat Melaka takde Sephora tak dapat nak usha.
Deletei really need a cleanser that at the same time removes my make up as my eye make up always not completely get off espcially the mascara smudge.
ReplyDeletehmm, may I suggest something? use Biore Cleansing Water first to remove your eye makeup and mascara, to ensure complete removal, use 4-5 cotton pads until no makeup residue left. Then wash your face :) insyaAllah takde smudge left :)
DeleteThank you for commenting, I'll reply as soon as possible!
