2016 Top 10 Favs!

First of all, I would like to wish all my precious readers a very Happy New Year! Welcome to the year 2017!!

In this post, I would like to go through my top 10 favorites from the year 2016 which some I have reviewed on. I have too many favs but I tried my best to bring in my most fav products for the year 2016 and these are the ones that made it to the top 10! Let's get on with it shall we!



Item no.10 - Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water


The Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water manage to make its way up to the top 10! I've been using this for a month and it's refreshing and hydrates the skin after using. This cleansing water does not contain any perfume which is suitable for sensitive skin too. On the plus side, it is pretty affordable too! Definitely worth trying.

Item no.9 - Petitfee Black Pearl & Gold Hydrogel Eye Patch


The skin around our eyes are the most sensitive area! Wrinkles or fine lines usually appears around the eye area first compared to other areas. The Hydrogel Eye Patch from Petitfee is currently my fav. I like keeping it in the fridge and use it twice a week as it helps to sooth and hydrates my eye area. It is very affordable too. It has 60 pieces so you can use it for 30x.

Item no.8 - Freeman Honeydew & Chamomile sleeping mask


I saw this while I was walking around Watsons. The first item from Freeman I've used was the cucumber peel off mask that my friend sent me from the states and I love it so I decided to try out it's sleeping mask too. I didn't have high expectation when I tried on this product but surprisingly it's super hydrating and light. It smells great because of the honeydew. I usually use this when I'm too lazy or busy to put on mask so wearing this before I go to bed is an alternative choice.

Item no.7 - Neogen Green Tea Cleansing Foam


I absolutely love this cleanser cause it pumps out foam which is super convenient! It also has green tea leaves at the bottom of the bottle. However it is my no.7th fav because it seems like I run out of cleanser very fast. I've only used it for a month and I'm left with a quarter solution and the dispenser doesn't reach the bottom. Nonetheless, it's a great cleanser.

Item no.6 - White head remover (Vietname or Thailand product Im not sure)


To be honest I have no idea where this products originated from but it's seen selling in cube stalls in the mall. It removes white head and black heads just like the normal strips except this comes in liquid form and a separate piece of paper for it. My aunt told me it's a great product and I didn't believe her at first. However, I love it after using it once. It literally removes all the white and blackhead better than those expensive nose strips. You gotta see it to believe it!


 Yes, it's gross! I KNOW!! LOL!

Item no.5 - Mask Sheet from The Face Shop


The sales lady told me it was new in faceshop when I went to renew my membercard so I decided to get a few and I love it. It has a thin cotton sheet with lots of essence. Mask sheet is a MUST in your daily life! LOL! I use it twice a week.

Item no. 4 - April Skin Magic Cushion 2.0


If yall have been following my blog, you'll know that I recently started using this. It's been a few weeks and so far I'm loving the coverage of this BB Cushion. Although I'm not a fan of the cushion or puff but I still love using this when I'm in a rush. Definitely worth trying this item. To check out the review for this product. CLICK HERE!

Now, let's move on to my top 3 favorite product for the year 2016! These are the 3 products that I have to carry with me every time I travel. These are the must item in my everyday life!

Top no.3 - Nature Republic Super Aqua Max Watery Toner


I've used different kinds of toner before this and nothing seems to be working for me. It either cause me breakouts, enlarged pores or redness but this toner is not your typical water liquid toner. This toner seems to be more of a gel type but turns into liquid once applied on skin. It comes in a glass bottle too and I'm loving it! LOL! It is not that pricey, smells good and it's very hydrating.

Top no.2 - Miss En Scene Perfect Repair Hair Serum


I have been bleaching my hair and coloring it since I left high school so my hair is a tiny bit, well not tiny bit but VERY MESSED UP! It's dry and split ends everywhere and not even treatment can help it. So I decided to get this hair serum to see whether it works to keep my hair shiny and bouncy and yes! It really works to keep my hair less frizzy and looking healthier. It smells great too! So Yes! Whenever I travel, this has to be in my pouch!

Top no.1 - Missha Time Revolution The First Treatment Essence


Lastly, my fav item for the year 2016 which I cannot survive without it the Missha's time revolution essence. I have been using this essence for a year now and it does wonders to my skin. It helps with my breakouts, dry skin and acne scars. It's a little bit pricey but it's definitely worth including this into your daily routine. This pretty much helps to clear my skin, it's like magic! LOL! You can also include a few drops into your foundation in the morning for a dewy look and it also keep your skin hydrated throughout the day. 

*

There you have it my top 10 favorite product for the year 2016! I've been using all the above products for a while now and I definitely love them all. Once again I would like to wish all my loyal and beautiful/handsome readers out there a Happy New Year and 2017 will be a great year!

[Review] Nature Republic's Soothing & Moisture Aloe Vera Gel.

Hello again fellow readers.

I'm back again and this time I'll be doing a review on Nature Republic's 92% Aloe Vera Gel and different ways to use it. 



I happen to stumble upon this Aloe Vera gel from Nature Republic when I step foot into their shop at the Miri branch. I'm guessing it should Aloe Vera season because there are stacks and stacks of it pilling up in their shop. 



Description.

- It contains 92% Aloe Vera leaf extract.

Soothing and Moisturizing
- It provides soothing and moisture effects to the sensitive skin.

Skin firming and moisturizing effect
- Fast absorbing gel that provides a refreshing feel to the skin.

Makes the skin healthy
- Keeps the surface of the face and body healthy.

- The vitamins from the Aloe Vera extract, such as Vitamins E, C and other minerals, keep the skin moisturized and protecting it from UV rays. The fresh Aloe Vera ingredient absorbs quickly into the skin without leaving any sticky residue behind. 





The product itself is claimed to be 9 free nature formulas such as Paraben, Animal Ingredients, Benzophenone, Artificial Coloring, DiozaneChlorphenesin, Mineral Oil, Formaldehyde and Sulfate.

Enriched with 92% Aloe Very! Mild formula free paraben, mineral oil and artificial color. This soothing gel with 92% organic Aloe Vera was certified by California Certified Organic Farmers(CCOF) can be used to mildly moisturize various parts of the body often for best results. 


As you can see, the Aloe Vera gel appears to be transparent. 


Directions.

There are different ways to use this Aloe Vera gel such as on your body, hair and face.

Face.
- Go through your daily routine and use this Aloe Vera Gel as the last step. 

-You can use it as a mask by leaving it on your face for 15-20 minutes in a generous amount then wash it off with  warm water.

- For moisturizer, just apply a small amount enough to cover the entire face after cleansing, toning and serum. It absorbs to your skin very quickly so you need not worry about sticky residue on your skin. 

- Recommended to all dry skin and sensitive skin people. 

Hair.

1. Use it as a shampoo for the extra boost of moisturizing ingredient. By adding the gel at a ratio of 2 gel : 1 shampoo. Mix it together and shampoo as usual.

2. Use it as a conditioner by adding the Aloe Vera gel to your conditioner or use the Aloe Vera gel alone by applying it to damp hair starting at the scalp and working downwards to the ends of your hair. Wrap your hair with disposable shower cap or a towel for at least 15 minutes. Wash it off after the treatment.
- OR use it as a leave on treatment after shower on damp hair. 

Body.

- Apply it to dry parts of your body (arms & legs) for extra moisturizer. 

Make up.

- For people with dry skin problems, not being able to search for the right BB Cream/Foundation to use, you can mix your BB Cream/Foundation together with this Aloe Vera Gel at a ratio of 1:1. It helps to keep your skin moisturize and it provides a glow to your skin creating the natural make up look.

Benefits of Aloe Vera.

- It helps to prevent acne from occurring as Aloe Vera has antibacterial properties that are very effective in treating acne and reducing the redness.

- Not just acne, Aloe Very helps to reduce acne scars by promoting skin regeneration.

- Provides great amount of moisture and hydration to dry and sensitive skin.

- It can also be applied to sun burned areas to provide soothing or if you accidentally burn your fingers or any part of your skin on a hot pan or hot water, apply it immediately. 

Comments.

- I have personally used this Aloe Vera gel on my face for a few weeks now and I've notice my face have been more hydrated than in the past which can be clearly seen as my pores have minimized. 

- It has a pleasant scent not too strong but it does linger around even after it absorbs into your skin. 

- It is fairly easy to wash off and it absorbs very quickly without leaving behind a sticky residue.

Ratings 8/10.

The reason why I did not give it a better rating because of it's packaging. It comes in a can and there might be some hygienic problem occurring unless you use a spatula for hygienic purposes but due to its affordable price and great benefits I decided to increase it's rating.

*New Ratings 9/10  


Where to purchase?

- I purchased my Aloe Vera gel recently from Nature Republic's outlet at Miri, Sarawak, Malaysia at Boulevard 1st Floor. They happen to have a promotion going on when I was there. 4 can @ RM95 and 1 @RM39. I've heard great reviews on their aloe vera gel so I decided to get the promo package 4 cans @ RM95.
