Assalamualaikum and hello! I have been haunted by a disastrous hairfall problem since I did hair rebonding and I am still grateful that I didn't go bald due to my thick volume of hair. What an intro, hahaha! Seriously, hairfall wouldn't bother me except the fact that I have to sweep my room every two days. I've tried quite a few shampoo brands and sadly all the drugstore ones didn't work. Only one high-end brand works in helping my hairfall problem but I am too poor to buy the entire range yet, so here I am weeping and sweeping the messy tangles on my room floor.

Thanks to HiShop, I was given this new products from Bawang brand which is their Ladies Hair Fall Control Set consisting of a shampoo and a conditioner. As you can see in the picture above and below, this set comes in a gorgeous red colour theme but the shampoo and conditioner (product) are not red when I squeeze them out, or else it will look a bit scary but fun, hehe! So, before I proceed to telling you about my verdict, allow me to share with you on some facts about hair fall among ladies.

Reasons of hair fall :

Since I have been using this shampoo daily for a week, I think I can share a bit on whether it is working or not. First of all, let me explain on why I use it every day. A few months ago I attended a haircare workshop and one of the speakers there told me that, if I wet my hair and scalp during bath, I will need to shampoo because all the dirts and sweats will clog my scalp when placed under running water. Shampooing is the only way to remove them all and let my scalp breath. I wear a headscarf from morning to night (usually every day) and I cannot afford not washing my hair because my scalp will feel oily and sweaty when I arrive home, yes I walk and hike the hill to get back home every day hence the sweaty part. 

Ok back to the real verdict ^_^ this Bawang Ladies Hair Fall Control Set really does its job. Day 1, I can say that I have 20 hair falls during bath and while combing my hair. Day 3, only around 11 hair fall (yes I counted my strands of hair fall as I cannot show you my hair due to religion restriction) and by day 7 when I comb my hair, there is only 5 to 6 hair falls. This shampoo works in controlling hair fall, period. 

I also noticed that along the course of using this Bawang Ladies Hair Fall Control Set, my hair smells great and every day it feels softer than the usual coarse frizzy hair of mine. My hair also feels lighter and less tangle detected so all in all, Bawang Ladies Hair Fall Control Set is a must try if you are having a hardcore hair fall problem. 

Thank you HiShop for sponsoring me such wonderful set, and thank you to you for reading ^_^ till then! 

Love,

Mieza

Assalamualaikum and hello! I'm going to introduce you to a supplement that was given to me by HiShop. Mega Alpha Sheep Placenta Extract 300 is a dietary supplement made in New Zealand. True to its name, this softgel type supplement is made purely of sheep placenta, which makes it of genuine quality unlike some other placenta supplements which might be a mixture of something else. For Muslim readers who are keen to know whether it is halal to consume sheep placenta or not, I cannot answer your question in depth as I am no scholar nor scientist who did experiments on this matter. When I first consumed this I admit that I did not thought of it to be harmful in any ways and I stand by not having any doubt on the supplement. Now I found that some people said Muslims can't consume this because it is from a placenta (please don't ask me, I don't know how to explain), some said it can be used externally only (as ointment, serum for skin, etc) and one organization from NZ said that the extraction of placenta for their supplement does not harm the sheep and its baby thus they received Halal status from FIANZ. So, I guess in the end it is up to you and your faith to consume it. 

Now that I've cleared out the most important part for my Muslim readers, let us move to the specifics of Mega Alpha Sheep Placenta Extract 300 okay ;) Each soft-gel contains 300mg of Ovine Placenta and should be consumed as a dietary supplement. You can take 1-3 soft-gels per day, depending on your need or interest to see its result (fast/slow). This Mega Alpha Sheep Placenta Extract 300 is approved by Ministry of Health Malaysia, so no need to worry of harmful ingredients then. Due to its nature as a premium placenta supplement, Mega Alpha Sheep Placenta Extract 300 must be stored below 25 degree Celcius. 

After consuming Mega Alpha Sheep Placenta Extract 300, I noticed that it stopped my skin from getting more zits. During the course of consuming it, I did not get any pimples which has been my main skin concern, and my dry skin problem due to acne medication has healed as well. I also did not experience a very painful period pain. Usually I can rate the pain as 8/10 but when I got my period during consuming Mega Alpha Sheep Placenta Extract 300 I would say the pain I experienced was at scale 3/10. When I stopped consuming Mega Alpha Sheep Placenta Extract 300, I get back my hormonal zits (PMS) and that's all. So I can conclude that this supplement helped me in halting the growth of zits, relieving dry patches on skin and reducing period pain. I did not see any other improvements on my skin, and since I am quite healthy with no other worrying health concerns I am not eligible to tell other effects it give on my health.

That being said, in my opinion Mega Alpha Sheep Placenta Extract 300 is a premium category of supplement that you can buy if you are looking for placenta-type supplement that strictly has no other ingredients in it. It does not have any bad smell so consuming will be a piece of cake.

Assalamualaikum and hello! Today I would like to share my take on this health drink by Fairy Beauty. The product is called Life Food. It is in the form of powder where you have to mix it with warm water and consume it twice a day for maximum efficiency. The packaging is a transparent plastic cylindrical bottle, containing 300gram worth of product. Due to its powdery nature, there is also a plastic stopper after the lid to avoid product from spilling at the beam of the bottle. Now you must be curious on what is Life Food and how it can benefit you, right? Well, Life Food is a type of supplement that claims to cater to many human needs. If you need a safe product that can help you lose weight, reduce bad cholesterol, or if you are simply a very busy person who is always on the go and seldom has time to properly have your breakfast, lunch and dinner, maybe you can give Life Food a try :) Here are the claims of Life Food :

Assalamualaikum and Hello! Since 2014 started, I have had a lil bit of infatuation towards face masks. Not the one that you wear during haze or surgical masks mind you :p I have won and bought and redeemed quite a lot of masks, but I only have one face to put on all these things so yeah, the rate of finishing them is no faster than a snail's pace. Today I'd like to share with you all about one mask that I have been loving so much all these while, which is Glow and Shine Skin Smoothening Mask from b.liv by Cellnique.
This mask came in a 50ml tube. Nothing fancy about the packaging and dispenser, it has a clean, minimalism and professional look to it. The mask has something like a thick cream consistency. It is also heavily packed with tiny granules thus giving Glow and Shine Skin Smoothening Mask a scrub property as well. As for the smell, I found it rather divine and pleasing to my nose. It has a sweet, fruity scent that is not too much or sickly sweet. It is just nice for me, which is a huge factor of why I have been reaching for this mask every week.
"This exfoliating mask scrubs away flaws and imperfections, and brings out a noticeable smoothness and glow to your complexion.

Glow and Shine deeply exfoliates damaged, scarred or unhealthy skin, to reveal the smooth, flawless complexion lurking within. It also lightens and brightens the dull and uneven-toned face, to make one's inner glow and shine rise to the surface."

According to its instruction, Glow and Shine Skin Smoothening Mask is to be used once a week. I usually use this as a treatment during "me time" before sleep. I will slather a thick layer of Glow and Shine over my face and neck after cleansing my face. We are required to leave it on for 5 to 10 minutes, and avoid from masking your eyes and lips area as the skin there is rather delicate. Upon application, there is a cool, minty feel on my skin that lasts till the mask is partially dry. Sometimes I went overboard, watching a movie or reading a book or simply fell asleep while waiting for the advised time, but fret not as the mask is not easy to dry unless you have a fan directly spinning in front of you. When cleansing it off, I wet my face with water and start massaging the mask away while enjoying the scrubbing feel thanks to its little granules.
I found that this mask gave me an instant brightening effect. It also really gave me a smooth feeling on my skin upon cleansing. It does not dry to a hard mask on my face either, so smiling and talking while having this on is not a big problem. As I have been using it every week for 2 months, I can say that it does not help minimize my pores but it helps me get an even skin tone. I love how it helps me in exfoliating my skin weekly as I don't have a proper face scrub at the moment (I used up my oat scrub already). It does not sting my skin when applied on blemishes (pimples) and I can see that sometimes, it reduces the redness of my pimples but it does not help in shrinking its size or making pimples disappear, never mind coz Glow and Shine does not claim to help with blemishes. It does not sting my skin, I don't get any adverse reaction on my skin, so I am fairly happy and in love with this mask. I see it as a satisfying pamper treatment to my skin. Nothing over the top, but nothing to hate either. So, if you happen to run out of face masks, and you would love to try something from b.liv by Cellnique, I suggest you try this Glow and Shine Skin Smoothening Mask. Till then!

Assalamualaikum and hello! Thanks to HiShop and Fairy Beauty, I was given another set of health drinks called Fairy Blossom to try and review.

I have been using this tea tree essential oil for quite some time, specifically for acne treatment as I do not have any acne treatment cream until recently. From what I experienced, Heaven on Earth Tea Tree Essential Oil helps in soothing the angry red bump of my pimple within 3 days. 

Since it is said that essential oils must be mixed with carrier oils before use on skin (read here), I consulted Mabel from HiShop on which carrier oil is suitable to be mixed with tea tree essential oil. The representative from Heaven on Earth then informed us that it is best to use tea tree essential oil with jojoba oil as it matches our skin's lipid. 

However, you don't have to worry as for acne treatment, you can directly apply the tea tree oil onto those annoying zits. Be careful not to apply too much okay? I found that blogger J-Mei suggested to add a few drops of tea tree essential oil onto a cotton pad dampen with toner before dabbing it onto the acne/pimples. I hope it works on you as well if you're trying ^_^

Purchase can be made at HiShop Malaysia and you will receive a miniature vial worth RM15. Besides tea tree, there are many other essential oil and carrier oil selection for you to choose as well just at HiShop. View it here and enjoy the comfort of your own mini spa at home! Stay healthy always ^_^

The face scrub I'm currently using is from Lanopearl Australia, called the Refining & Exfoliating Scrub (thanks HiShop for letting me try this awesome scrub!). Now when you see the word Refining and Exfoliating, please don't only think about abrasive scrubs with harsh beads. Nope, Lanopearl's is nothing like that and that's why I'm in loveeeee ^_^ This product comes in a plastic tube at 150ml. 

description, directions for use, ingredients

for animal lovers, this scrub is cruelty free!

What I really love about this scrub is that it contains tiny oatmeal beads (sounds like breakfast!) that is not abrasive to my skin. Though it seems gentle, the scrub does it job well in making my face looks polished and soft after use ^_^ I use it once or twice a week as recommended (or whenever I remember to scrub, haha) and I personally think it helps, like I'm changing to a soft new layer of skin :)

The smell of this product is okay, it does smell like something breakfasty LOL am I too hungry now?  As you can see in the pictures above, you just need that dollop like I squeezed to cover your entire face. This scrub has a thick, creamy or waxy consistency. It does not lather. Some of you might find its smell a bit too chemical but I think it is not bad. Sometimes I imagined that I'm scrubbing my face with Nestum, hehe!

So, if you're searching for a face scrub that smells good, does its job well and not abrasive, I recommend you to try Lanopearl Refining & Exfoliating Scrub. You can get it from HiShop at RM69 (keep your eyes peeled, sometimes HiShop have lovely discount surprises!).
