April Favorites! 2015

It's the end of the month again!! Sorry for not updating since the last post. I've been busy cramming for assignments throughout the week but I still managed to have an update on April's Favorites before it ends~ Here are the things I favor the most on April!


Aloe Moist Full Soothing Mist.

So far among all mist that I've tried throughout the year, I finally come across a mist from Etude House that moisturizes my face throughout the day and its the Aloe Soothing Mist. It does not leave any oily residue like most mist does.

It is enriched with Baobab Tree extracts, Organic Aloe and Organic Herb supplies that instantly moisturize and relieves out skin. Due to its size, it is easy to bring around so I usually carry it in my bag whenever I leave the house. Mostly I apply it every 2 hours to keep my skin moisturize.

Whole Chia Seed.

I was introduced to Chia Seed from a friend of mine and I've been loving it. Here's a little background on Chia Seeds. It is a flowering plant in the mint family. Chia is grown commercially for its seeds, a food that is rich in Omega-3 fatty acids. They are usually in brown, black and white colour. The seeds can absorb 12x their size when soaked. After soaking to its full size, it forms a mucus like gel on the outer area.

There are a few benefits to including Chia Seeds into your diet. That includes it being a natural treatment for type-2 diabetes, more fiber, omega-3, stronger teeth and bones, helps you get full faster, fight belly fats and others. 

I tend to drink more water when I add Chia Seeds into my drink. I like chewing on the seed and the mucus likes substance around it. I'll be doing a separate post on Chia Seeds and more information and how you can include it into your diet.

Redoxon Vita Guard Ace+

I was first introduced to this tablet by one of my tuition student's mother. She told me the benefits of this tablet and I soon fell in love with it. It has Vitamin C, A, B6, B12, D, E, Folic Acid, Minerals, Zinc, Selenium, Copper and Iron in each tablet. It's a tablet around the size of a 50 cents, put it into a cup of water and look at it sizzle away. 

I've been taking it for the past few months and I'm loving it, I definitely recommend it to those who are battling with pimple problems, it did solve my pimple problem after taking the tablet every morning,

Charcoal & Black Sugar Polishing Mask.

A range from Freeman has finally been brought into store by Watsons a few months ago. It contains Activated Charcoal which helps to absorb oil without over drying the skin and black sugar that helps to exfoliate dead skin cells. After using this, your skin feels softer and cleaner.

Usually I had to apply mask on after exfoliating but thanks to this, I won't need to apply mask after exfoliating. It's a 2 in 1! I am definitely getting it again after I finish mine.

Swiss Line Water Shock Foam Cleanser.

My favorite cleanser among all cleansers I have tried. I am currently on my 3rd set this month. I can't survive without it! XD It is suitable for dry and combination skin. It contains Lychee extract which is known to be great anti-oxidants. It helps to brighten the skin, providing natural exfoliation and helps to moisturize deeply. 

EOS Lemon Lip Balm SPF15.

Applying lip balm is equally important to applying moisturizer on your skin. As usual, I love everything that has SPF compound in it that's why it made its way into my April Faves list!

Aloe Mask.

This mask belongs to "My Beauty Diary" range from Taiwan. What I like about this mask is that it has a lot of essence in it. Even after applying for 25-30 minutes, the mask still contain a fair amount of essence in it. It helps to moisturize and soothe all types of skin.

So, here are the list of my favorites for the month of April! I'll be posting up longer post on a few of the things I've mentioned above. Stay tune for more updates next month!

[TUTORIAL] Veet Facial Waxing Strips.

Hellooooo everybody!! So, today I will be posting up something different. Instead of a review, I will be doing a tutorial today! I'm sure not everybody know how to do everything without googling HOW-TO~ So I'm here to rescue all you beautiful people out there who are dying to know How-To-Use facial waxing strips~


I will be using Easy Ready to use waxing strips from VEET. They have a wide range of hair removal product to choose from such as waxing strips for face or body and cream type. It depends on which type you prefer. For facial hair removal and my legs, I prefer the waxing strip and for my arm, I prefer the cream type. 

Type of hair removal products available for VEET.

So, inside the box contains 20 wax strips and 4 perfect finish wipes. 

This is how the facial strips looks like, it is smaller as compared to the body wax strips. It is the sheer butter and berry range for Normal Skin. If you have dry skin, feel free to choose the other range according to your skin condition. 

STEP 1!
-Make sure the area you are waxing is clean, free from oily residue and dry. If your skin is oily or wet, the wax may not stick or you may apply a gentle amount of powder onto the skin before applying the wax. It helps the wax to stick onto the hair better.

STEP 2!
-Before peeling the strip apart, warm up the wax by rubbing the strips in between your hand. This helps to warm up the wax for easy application. 

STEP 3!
-Slowly peel the wax strips apart as seen in the picture above. Leave one aside and apply one of the strip to the area of your choice. When applying, make sure to rub it according to the SAME direction of hair growth. 

STEP 4!
-Be ready to pull! If it's your first time waxing, it may hurt a little OR maybe a lot for some people. Now, use one hand to hold onto your skin tightly, and pull the waxing strip on a OPPOSITE direction from your hair growth.

-Example picture of what I am talking about.
- First picture, if your hair is growing in the direction towards right, apply the wax strip and rub it towards the right according to the direction of your hair growth.

-Second picture, hold onto the skin on the right side and pull gently making sure your skin is tight. Now grab onto the waxing strip with your other hand and pull towards the left in a fast motion. DO NOT pull gently and the would not work.  

On the strip itself it also shows you how to use it.


STEP 5!
-Repeat for other area until you are satisfied with all the hair removal.

STEP 6!

- With the Perfect Finish Wipes, use that to remove any excess wax residue left on your skin. If you do not like to use the wipes included in the box, you can always remove the excess wax with baby oil or Olive Oil, it works the same way.

*It may hurt for some people and if you see tiny dots of blood coming out from your pores, don't worry, its just a light injuring from pulling hair away from the roots. Just wipe it off with a clean warm towel. You may want to do it at night before bed so that it allows your skin to heal overnight. 

After waxing, it depends on your speed of hair growth, for me it usually last around 3-4 weeks before I wax again!

You can get the waxing strips or cream from any drug store or department store at a affordable price.

 Have fun waxing! I'll see yall in my next blog post~ Feel free to drop me any questions in my email (KimmyLoo1212@gmail.com), FACEBOOK or INSTAGRAM~~
