Assalamualaikum and hello! Do you love oranges? I do! But only the sweet ones, hehe! However, I found myself eating oranges only during the Chinese New Year season because it seems to be everywhere. I know that oranges contain vitamin C like most citrus fruits and that our skin needs Vitamin C to stay clear of blemishes and obtain a healthy radiance and glow. So, when Natta Cosme's black box of happiness containing the OST Original Pure Vitamin C20 Serum arrived at my doorstep, I couldn't be more happier to start my journey of applying a marvelous vitamin C serum on my face ^_^ well, not everyone has the time to peel oranges everyday right? When it comes in a bottle, you gotta use it ;)

I felt a bit sorry for myself when I found that the entire box of OST Original Pure Vitamin C20 Serum is written in Korean language. I don't speak or read Korean, so I have to Google everything to understand the product, how to use it and the precautions. The OST Original Pure Vitamin C20 Serum came with a separate dropper as shown in the picture above. 

OST Original Pure Vitamin C20 Serum contains a very high vitamin C concentration which is 20%. The colour should be transparent and it gets a bit brownish after a while and when it turns orange, it means that the serum is entirely oxidized which is not safe to be used anymore. So if you plan on getting this OST Original Pure Vitamin C20 Serum, make sure that you store it in cool, dark places or in the refrigerator. I put mine in its box and then in my drawer. We also must avoid exposing this OST Original Pure Vitamin C20 Serum to direct sunlight or let the bottle opened, not screwed tightly because exposure to sunlight and air makes the serum oxidize faster. 

So, here comes my experience of using OST Original Pure Vitamin C20 Serum. First of all, I am not blessed with a clear skin. I have been battling with massive acne problem since last year and I am still experiencing some huge acne at the same spot over and over again. I don't really have that much blackhead but my pores are large especially on my cheeks. 

I only use the OST Original Pure Vitamin C20 Serum at night, before I sleep. I never mixed it with my toner as I enjoy using it on its own. It truly gave me a slight tingling sensation but that only happens if I scrub my face that day. If I don't scrub, this serum does not tingle my skin. Next effect I experienced is that, my face feels so unbearably itchy if I use Egyptian Magic Cream after this serum and toner. So, I guess EMC and OST Serum just won't work together on my skin, period. 

After a month of usage, my skin definitely experiences some of the promises by OST Original Pure Vitamin C20 Serum ^_^ I can say that some of my acne scars has been reduced, my skin feels a lot more revitalized than before, smoother and the brightening effect that it promises manage to make my skin tone more even than before. The serum is definitely very sticky when applied on its own. However, after I topped it with my toner and moisturizer, the stickiness is gone and I can sleep peacefully without the uneasy feeling on my face ;) I also really love the smell of this OST Original Pure Vitamin C20 Serum, it reminds me so much of freshly peeled oranges.

So, if you are looking for a serum to lighten your scars, even out your skin tone and most of all, a supply of vitamin C for your skin, then I highly recommend you to try OST Original Pure Vitamin C20 Serum ^_^ however, taking care of the serum is quite a fuss so you will just have to be very disciplined in keeping it at the right place. Till then!

So the Egyptians has left us with something very powerful apart from the pyramid and the sphinx. It is the Egyptian Magic Cream, which is known as a miracle cream for skin as it has the ability to help with many skin concerns like aging, maintaining healthy glow of skin, giving radiance to skin, and many too claimed that this magic cream has helped them to combat eczema and psoriasis. Even gynecologists, plastic surgeons, homeopathic physicians and chiropractors from all over the world swore by Egyptian Magic Cream! Don't you think that there's a pharaoh-like aura to this cream? hehe! 

Egyptian Magic Cream is only made from 100% natural ingredients consisting of olive oil, honey, beeswax, royal jelly, propolis, and bee pollen. As you can see, this magic cream has no additives, preservatives, fragrances, chemicals or paraben. The ingredients are known to have hydrating and soothing properties, thus this very pure cream does not bear any perfume-like smell to it. This cream is suitable for external use, and due to its natural properties, you can slather it all over your body if you think that skin part needs extra TLC. It can be used to moisturized your body skin, treat areas with burns or rashes, moisturize your face skin, treat your under eye area, heal your chapped lips, sooth your sore elbows and heels, and the Egyptian Magic Cream too can be a good friend to your hair ^_^

If you have dry or normal skin, maybe you would love to use Egyptian Magic Cream as a makeup base as you will only need a tiny amount of it to keep your makeup on smooth ;) for people with oily skin, use this Egyptian Magic Cream at night as a treatment to moisturize your skin because sometimes oily skin is caused by lack of water and overdrying due to excessive facial cleansing. Besides, you can also use Egyptian Magic Cream as a whitening face mask. Just slather it on and massage the cream onto your skin. Then cover with a warm towel for five minutes before rinsing. If you ran out of massaging oil, Egyptian Magic Cream can be a substitute too as it will help in firming, toning and skin elasticity if you make it a routine ;) 

Since I have been using this Egyptian Magic Cream for nearly a month, I found that all the results are very positive. I use this cream on my face as night moisturizer, I use it on my lips 24/7, I also slather some on my hair particularly from middle to end section of my tresses. For face, when I woke up in the morning, my face feels oily but fresh and not congested. I can see that after a month, some of my acne marks have faded, my skin got clearer and softer. My skin does not turn flawless like it has been Photoshopped but I am genuinely happy as my skin condition is definitely waaayyy better than before I started using this Egyptian Magic Cream. As for my lips, I got a badly dried and chapped lips when the hot season hit Malaysia. I then started applying this cream on my lips religiously and within 2 days, my lips has turned back to normal, no more chapping, no more pain. I'm truly grateful for this creation!! As for my hair, having this cream on makes my hair a bit smoother and manageable. I have lion manes as my tresses, and it was always dry and so volumnized. This cream made me forgot that I have troubled hair, seriously!

All in all, I definitely recommend everyone in this entire world to own at least a tub of Egyptian Magic Cream. Nobody paid me to say this but I want you to know that if you invest in this cream to take care of your skin, you will be very happy (and you can thank me later) as it works to help our skin get better. It is not some hoax or flimsy story we got here with the Egyptian Magic Cream, it is real. I don't have any serious skin problems to show of what this cream has helped me achieve but I assure you, my skin has never been this good and I am feeling so positively happy about it ^_^

My fist impression on the product was, HOW ON EARTH AM I GONNA FINISH THIS TONER? hihi, true, the bottle is freakin big and it contains 335ml worth of toner inside! In fact, this is the biggest bottle of toner I ever encountered in my entire life. See, I put Thayers toner next to L'oreal toner for a comparison. Before this I thought the latter was the biggest, boy I was wrong!
