This will be my last blog for year 2013 as I will be away for the Christmas season :) So, I hope everyone has an awesome X'mas celebration and let's together joying into year 2014!
Eminence is an Hungarian brand since year 1958. In Malaysia, sole distributor is My Beauty Cottage (MBC). I am lucky to have it in Malaysia shore and my deeply gratitude to MBC for introducing this magical and PURE skincare line. In KL, have 2 shops and in PG have 1 shop at Paragon Mall. Jurlique has no travel size for me so I checked out MBC which located opposite Jurlique shop. Till this day, I thank God for directing me to walk into this shop to enquire about Eminence products. The shop is captivating like English Cottage Style - which all girls find it lovely and will walk into the shop :)
First thing I noticed when I walked into the shop was I was being greeted with a very warmth welcome from the beautician/s. Very friendly I would say so. Next, would be the MEGA Pricing!! OMG!! Very expensive ranging RM200 over till RM400 over per bottle/jar. At least at Jurlique, the minimum is RM100 over for cleansers. Since, I had wrecked up my bill with Jurlique products and facials, so I asked for travel/trial set. Oh my my...they do have :) So, I bought 1 trial set for normal skin - cleanser, exfoliating, masque, day cream, night cream. All in small cute jar. Put into a wooden box!! All these at the cost of RM238. Do not fret, the products are worth their prices. DEFINITELY WORTH IT!! You may ask WHY? Because it contains full pure organic ingredients which they have their own farm growing them. Good for the environment as no harsh ingredients plus for every product that is being sold, they will plant a tree. As a proof, the beautician turned a masque jar upside down without the cap on - no dripping, no sliding away - it just stay put..intact..solid...All you need is a peasize of the product and dilute it with a few drops of water before you blend it and apply on face. If prefer thicker layer, can apply without emulsify with water. So the products actually is lasting and most important of all, it is pure ingredients without pre-emulsified. That is why when using need a few drops of water. Usually, I will spray 1-2 pumps of my toner mist onto my moisturizer instead of using tap water. For exfoliant and masque, I will use tap water. I was recommended Stone Crop gel wash, toning mist and masque. Which I love them all especially masque. I cannot go without it and I am in the midst of finishing my jar of masque.
The con for gel wash is no bubble and no foam or whatever..so I am not that used to it yet. But was told it is very gentle for skin eventhough I feel nothing. I do not need to fret as it cleanses well plus if I am worried, I can rub a lil longer. I am deeply in love with the day and night cream. Because when I ventured into this brand, that particular day was my 2nd facial with Jurlique. The MBC beautician saw my bare bruised face and dry skin which allow her to recommend me most suitable products to me. She already recommended me my suitable products on Day 1 comparatively to Jurlique beautician which resulted me wasting my money on unsuitable products. So, I started Eminence on that very same day I purchased..Instantly, my skin moisture PH being balanced up and redness reduce greatly the next morning when I woke up. Happily without dry-ness and tightness anymore. That was how it captivates my heart :) Since, then I have diligently using Eminence day and night with once a week scrub and 3 times stone crop masque. Simple and fast!!Absorb fast too and does not leave greasiness and I think it hydrates well cause, I have less oil production. Finally, redness once again back to its' original at bay :) So far, no breakouts. Started this on 29th Nov 2013 until today.
Last week, I went back to get another trial set for Clear Skin, comes with a pouch - Probiotic cleanser, Probiotic Masque, Willow-Bark Booster Serum in droplet glass bottle, Probiotic moisturizer. This is targeting acne prone skin so it is too dry for my skin but is good for congested area plus once a while detox for my skin. I am not suppose to use this as my daily regime but once awhile when that time of the month comes :) You know what I meant :) But, I have been using the booster serum daily. Booster-serum can be used together with masque/moisturizer with 2-3 drops or use on its' own. I always use it along with my masque/moisturizer. I only can say that my skin is recovering fast from my congested skin after using L'occitane Divine range and also dry and tightness from Jurlique. Importantly, I do not need to worry what I put on my face - the products are amazing with natural smells of fruits and plants that give nutrients to my skin to fight against harsh environmental and also my lifestyle.
2 days ago I bought my very first original size product from MBC. It is called Tropical Vanilla Cream SPF 30. It is sunscreen, apply after moisturizer without the need of emulsifying. Honestly, it has vanilla smell so soft and calming. I just love it. Too good to be eaten :) For 60ml - RM438/jar. All right, I lavish and pamper myself :) 2 days ago was also my very first experience with Eminence facial spa. I LOVE IT!! Much better than Jurlique or anywhere else. Once again, it is PURE AND NATURAL. No machine involves!! All by hands with top grade Eminence products. I was welcomed with foot spa before proceed to facial. Organic means their concept is hygiene :) Need to clean your feet first before you lie down with their comforter over you. I am a frequent facial person and it does not occur to me what hides inside those sheets. When the therapist pointed out it may be unhygienic to have everyone's feet inside the sheets without changing the sheets daily. Besides foot massage, next head and neck massage then only the facial starts. While on masque, will have shoulder and back massage. The extraction was good as I do not feel pain. Was told very yellowish and black white/blackheads. She asked whether my sunscreen now is very oily or tinted type as products that are very oily to my skin will cause yellowish whiteheads. So, I invested on Eminence sunscreen. I am amazed with it. No oily plus stays matte almost whole days. Less oil production comparatively Clinique SPF40 Sunblock. Indeed is much more oilier as I need to blot my face twice when I am using it. Eminence sunscreen promises high hydration, must be working effectively as my skin produce lesser oil. For facial session, welcome with a cup of tea, end with a cup of tea and 3 slices of orange :) I felt calmed and relaxed and dozed off during my facial pampering :)
Always the first is BEST as sales gimmick. Will review again next year after my 2nd visit. My little beauty advice will be stick to pure and organic products - Skinfood the most economical, if you can afford please try out Eminence. I guarantee no regrets!! Merry X'mas and a Happy New Year to all of you:)!!

UPDATES** on Jurlique Products
A Merry Good Morning to everyone..festive season is getting closer now..like I promised before that I will blog on the progress of using Jurlique products. Shall we?! :)
My first purchase practically did not work for me as the moisturizer not hydrating enough for me. Caused me redness getting worse and dried flaky skin with very uncomfortable tightness. So, I went back to the shop to get consulted again. This time, I bought my 2nd purchase consisting :- Calendular Cream and Calendular Lotion. Cream would replace the lighter version of moisturizer which did not work on me and the Lotion was suppose to treat congested or pimples area by using cottonpad. I found the Lotion is working great on my skin as it de-congested my congested area..:) Plus, it helps on redness and sensitivity of skin. Barely a month, I had used up to half a bottle and it costed me RM200-300/btl. Cream comes in huge tube and since only use pea size, it made it cheaper than the Lotion as both around the same price. After shifting to Cream, my skin is much soothed from previous tightness and dry-ness.
BUT, I did not give this brand a second chance long enough..hehehe..being the itchy butt girl, I ventured into another brand which the shop is right opposite Jurlique shop, it is called EMINENCE (sole distributor: My Beauty Cottage in Malaysia). I will blog about Eminence in my next blog later.
Let's move on to Jurlique Facial Spa:- My first visit was relatively pampering and the outcome was refreshed and relaxed. However, on my 2nd visit, it was not that promising. First, on my very first visit, I had told the manageress that I did not like machine type of facial, preferably natural by hands but I did acknowledge on the Oxygen machine for my package. My first facial therapist did carefully on my fragile skin skillfully which resulted me non bruised and comfortable after-facial session. Eventhough dealing with the Oxygen machine, she kindly avoided on my eye areas plus kept a distance from my face. Practically I did not feel uneasy except abit of water dripping at the sides which she handled wisely.
On my 2nd visit, was handled by another therapist. The extraction part was horrible. Throughout my facial, the only thing that left me scarred was PAIN. I became phobia to it..hahaha..after the session, the therapist asked me how I felt..I told her 1 word - PAIN. She felt embarrassed and had the gut to tell me it was suppose to be like that because congested. I was even more congested when I came for my first visit, right???!!Anyways, she used UV light machine for antiseptic and anti-bacterial. I am not sure what that machine is called though. I told her, my first visit the therapist did not use this on me and I requested pure facial not machine. She responded me by saying "Oh is a must for antiseptic purposes. Today your skin is much more congested" Well, FINE..moved on to Oxygen machine, not only did she did it around my eyes, she actually use the thing very closely to my face as I felt the thing poking my skin on off basis. I found myself having breathing difficulties too. Maybe I am a sinus person so I feel uncomfortable. So, byebye to Jurlique facial.
Conclusion: The products are so-so to me. As I do not continue after around 2 weeks, I cannot give a better review to it except I wasted loads of money to seek the proper products on my skin since the manageress has poor knowledge on determine what products suit me or not. And the 2nd facial really scares me to hell! A very important note is I do not break out when using Jurlique products. But, I find it hassle because need several steps on daily regimen. At least, was what the manageress told me that I need to use - mist, lotion, moisturizer, essential oil (which need to prepare a small glass bowl of water and drip 1-2 drops of the oil and use a cottonpad to soak it before applying onto face), sunblock. I will prefer simple 3-steps than to preparing this and that :)

Fantastic Awesome Facial Spa Experience at JURLIQUE
Previously I mentioned on Kanebo Salon. Now, this is by far better than that :) It costs me a bomb as well for a session - RM320.00. Does it worth it?? YES!!
Jurlique is an Australian brand with 25 years history on nature ingredients. Once again, more or less like L'occitane & BOV where essential oils play a role in every of its' products. Depending on your skin condition/texture, the beautician will recommend appropriately. So, this facial package I bought is Firming with calendula which helps on soothing.
I was welcomed by a tranquil spa like room with wooden everywhere and essential oil smells plus dimly lit lighting. The feeling was like I was in a Balinese spa room :) I will not go into facial procedures as all facial is typical. What makes Jurlique outstanding with my years of facial from everywhere? Well........
My first time being introduced to Spa Ball - a very cold Balls come in a pair. The beautician will use them to massage my whole face over a spread of paste (not sure is a mask or something to go along with Spa Ball Massage). After this, a special sheet will spread over my face and collagen be dripped on it. Was told Collagen mask. Next also my first ever experience on infusing Oxygen gas over my face - spray type by a machine.
The facial started off with scalp massage then ended with shoulder massage PLUS legs massage. Usually, will end on shoulder massage but in Jurlique is a full detox and spa experience. Where starts with head and will end with toes :) After shoulder massage, beautician would wind up abit on upper bed - for circulation/flowing then she would massage legs.
A calming and most relaxing after a tiring day or stress. One should try out!! Highly recommended!! The facial did not leave me a bruised face but since was told congested with breakouts then obviously will have red dots on the squeezed parts. The next morning, I woke up with a calm face. Bruised was gone.
Needless to say, I bought a basic care from Jurlique which I just started. It will be my christmas blog :)

Review: Feedback on L'occitane Products & Slight Review on BOV Products
Barely a month ago I bought Divine range - Lotion & Cream; Immortelle Toner. I still continue using its' Roll on Eye gel which I find very effective on tired eyes and also help on blood circulation with the help of its' roller plus non sticky. BUT, I have entirely stopped using its' skincare that I had invested on. Costed me a bomb and wasted down the sea :( Toner so far is okay and I do not think it can have any bad reaction on my skin as it is fresh and water base. However, the Divine Lotion & Cream have bigger reaction on my lymph-nodes area. Like my previous postings on skincare, Anti-Aging products are usually not my type. Divine is an Anti-Aging formula with advance and much more smaller molecule and was told my skin may accept it. Alas, not in my case. Therefore, I have congested lymph-nodes.
TO THE RESCUE: like always....Skinfood to the rescue of my skin..LOL..yes!! you read it right, Skinfood!! But need awhile for the congested to become matured. Skinfood helps on calming my skin and prevent/stop from it becoming worse. At the same time, heal the congested.
There you go, I cannot review much on L'occitane as it does not work well on me. Moving on...
Blue Oak Valley (BOV)
It is a Malaysian company. Claimed to be fully organic, cruelty free, environment friendly with no chemical substance. Ingredients sourced globally and locally produced. Was introduced to me by a friend of mine who gave good review on it. So, I gave it a try a week ago - Organic Cleanser, Organic Toner, Organic Moisturizer for Oily skin, Anti-Aging Serum, Skin Tone Sunscreen & Scrub - got a free fruits mask.
Organic Cleanser - Is water based. Pour a few drops on palm and lather up before wash. No stripping and can wash quite cleanly. Was told if using its' sunscreen, no need double cleanse just wash once.
Organic Toner - Also water based. Pour a few drops on palm and pat all over face and neck. Easily absorb and control skin PH.
Moisturizer - One thing I do not like purchasing online products is cannot be well consulted. Is solely recommended on what you describe to the seller. Hence, she recommended me for Oily skin which does not work on me. Too dry for me. If apply Anti-aging serum before this moisturizer, can feel not that discomfort.
Anti-Aging Serum - Cannot review much on this except it gave me bumps appearing on my forehead. I suppose too potent for my skin. Stop using after a few attempts.
Skin Tone Sunscreen - Quite a good sunblock. Prevent sunburned since my skin prone to redness. So far, using this products have not caused me redness yet.
Exfoliating Scrub - This I like the most as it is fully scrub granules. Pinch abit on palm and add water before scrubbing face. Really remove whiteheads and blackheads well. Pores stay clean. Skin smoother.
Fruit Mask - I do not see neither feel any difference using this comparatively to Skinfood masks. I still think Skinfood wash off and sheetmask the best!!
BOV products have herbal smells.
I stopped using BOV entirely after a week when I visited Jurlique for facial appointment. Was told by beautician I have some breakouts/congested. Either the anti-aging serum is too potent to me or the cleanser directed by seller to wash once not well cleansed for my skin. Usually, for my skin - people advise to double cleanse at night before bed. But BOV said its' sunscreen has no synthetic so does not require double cleanse. Also, maybe left behind by L'ocittane Products that I had used before.

L'OCCITANE and Me :)
LOL..!! Don't get me wrong..I do not move on to L'occitane. It is just an ADD ON :) I just started a week ago on its' new re-formula DIVINE range. I was given free sample sachets of Divine series - Lotion, Serum & Cream. FYI, Divine Cream - RM455. Oo La La!! Exactly a luxury range and the brand does carry normal range products ranging from pricing >RM100 for a toner and so forth. The draw back of Divine series is need to apply using its' recommended massage/application steps. But one will adapt to it soon after as it consists of simple steps to remember.
It is an anti-aging series. Yes, surprisingly my skin adapts to it well. Usually, anti-aging series are too rich for my skin but somehow this absorb and leave non greasiness/oily on my skin surface. It contains essential oil and yet not oily at the same time during or after application. Even though, I have started just a week, but on first application, I already see result appearing. I woke up the next day with smoother skin and radiance skin. After days of using, I feel suppleness and firmness abit. I used to find my skin abit loose when smile, after using Divine and diligently follow the steps - I feel abit tightness when i smile - I consider I have a firmer cheeks now :) Well, the products claim to enhance collagen and firmness apart from prevent and smooth wrinkle. The major point is so far no breakout.
After a week, my friend sees the difference in me - my skin is brighter and radiance. Which I myself feel so too. Skin has become smoother hence, silky touch. L'occitane has become my recommended brand to people. The brand claims to be paraben & silicone- free. Even its' alcohol comes in levels but it claims to be derived from plants extract. Some products are alcohol-free and those contain come in % and of plants extracts. I did my research on other bloggers on L'occitane, all have good reviews and one thing I realized without fail people will mention is - brighten their skin, radiance enhancer. It happens on me too. For pimple skin, they mentioned the pimples do not get worse but has help them over time.
I am using L'occitane as my day & night regimen - Immortelle Blue bottle toner, Divine Lotion, Sublime Essence (day)/ Divine Extract Serum (night), Divine Cream. Of course, my Skinfood wash off masks everynight and alternately using scrubs. I am a person that cleanses my face 3 times a day so my evening will be Skinfood toner and moisturizer.
Another wonder happened on me is Angelica Eye Roller Gel. Roller means to prevent and soothe puffiness and dark circle which I so far have none but I can feel less tightness around my eyes. One visible results is I used to have a white seed on my left eyelid. But now, I see none and best of all no trace of any mark as though there is non-existent of white head before.
*THIS IS ONLY A WEEK TESTIMONIAL. I WILL REVIEW AGAIN ON L'OCCITANE AFTER 2 MONTHS IF IT SUSTAINS THAT LONG.

Skinfood - After 3 months of using and still counting..
Hi, everyone!! A nice weather to blog...rainy season lately :) Another month has passed..Welcome to October! A month full of fun and activities - Pink Ribbon for Breast Cancer & Octoberfest. But for me, well, always and my favourite beauty blogging :) So, I am sure all of you would like to know how fair this skincare on me:-
Firstly, if you are a new reader on my blog, please read my previous blogs to know my skin condition as well as my habit of ALWAYS CHANGE NEW SKINCARE ON A MONTHLY BASIS..hehehehe...whether or not my personal review reliable or not, is majorly up to individual. But, my skin definitely response fast on the skincare I paste on it :)
Secondly, if you are my follower/s then you know very well for a brand to sustain more than 2 months and still ongoing, means this brand is very reliable and good.
Lastly, YES!! Skinfood sustains in my life as my beauty regime must have!! I love its' wash off masks, scrubs and skincare as well as sheetmasks. Practically, everything in the shop I use are good and satisfactory in Malaysia weather - hot & humid & dry throughout the year; plus during rainfall in air-condition harsh environment. The hand lotion/essence absorbs fast and do not leave greasiness. Argan oil hair mask/condition really works wonder on my frizzy dry hair.
I realize that to keep my skin hydrated and calmed, I need my masks on a daily basis. Which is what I am doing so for the past 3 months without fail. I very much prefer and love wash off masks. The new scrub I have tried is Black sugar honey mask. A thumb up!! The Acorn Jelly mask also a wonder. I have no negative comment on this brand as it suits my skin as well as hair and body very well. Just nice on our weather - the products reacted refresh & clean.
Ever since I start this brand, and also after 2 months of using, people around me started to feel the difference on me and commented I look good and have much healthier skin comparatively to previous. After a few days into using, I personally can feel the difference. So, I know that the masks help to soothe and calm my skin - less redness, the scrub and skincare keep me away from breakout - at the same time, pro-long use, enhance my skin condition to much healthier level and resilient too!

Food Therapy for Skin - Part 2
Skinfood products are not pricey, therefore, one easily affordable to splurge on it. Another bonus point I like on this brand is it caters on women's needs very well. I tried the Argan Oil Hair mask, either use it as mask for 5mins or as conditioner. Me, the usual lazy woman :) use it as conditioner and is already more than enough to see it's outcome. Miraculously, once again tame my frizzy hair. Now, my hair is soft. I tried before hand and foot masks but I do not really like it hence, no visible result. I think need daily use plus apply hand and foot lotion to achieve visible outcome, something pro-long term just like facial regimen for day and night as well as in long term to see results. On my last shopping spree in the shop, I came across Neck cream..hehehe..is my next to buy list. When my existing shampoo and body wash finish, I too will invest on Skinfood. Give this brand a chance and also give myself a chance to see whether or not it will make me fall in love with it all over again :)
Mom got me Hand Essence..something like hand cream. Not moisturizing neither oily enough for over night use. But I find my hand not that dry during the day. 1st day, I did not see any visible result, additionally, I woke up with quite dry hand. Perseverance, as I love its skincare so much so that I make myself to keep applying every night for the last few nights, then I realize during day, my hands are not easily thirsty :) I will recommend to use it as a go as it is not oily but for caring tip, preferably creamy type. My mom suffers eczema for the past 1 year and no brands even upmarket brands can she use. So, she resides on doctor's cream and medication. After a year, I kept persuade her to try Skinfood as it is so mild and gentle to sensitive skin and yet revive and infuse fruits and vegetables nutrients into skin for healthier skin, for eg. me a living example :), finally, she gave in and tried it out eventhough she has lesser faith in lower range group of skincare as she is the upmarket type of person. Well, after a week use, her skin is still calmed. A good sign and news to her and me as she prefers to apply skincare type of person. As for me, a sigh of relieved as my recommendation works :) According to my mom, she said her skin no longer feel itch from drying. Of course, she is using carrot range..
I super duper love Peach Sake Silky Loose Powder. It really controls oil and when apply, just blend well with skintone and the skin as well. No visible sign of make up but skin is matte just as I long for but I could not get this effect or outcome from other brands loose powder. Amazing! At the end of the day, my skin is glowing healthily from a bit of oil producing, I start my day with fresh and matte skin. I cannot resist this powder is a must to me. At times, I will use CC cream. Skinfood has only 1 type of CC cream. It caters for fair skin than darker skin as it is only in 1 shade which is lighter shade. Lucky me, I am fair so blend well with me. I used to start off with a pump for a face but since my skin is getting healthier, I now only use half pump. Usually I puff my face after sunblock or CC.
Recent haul - Base & Top Coat Mascara, Treatment Lash Root & Lash Mascara, quarts eyeshadows and eyeliner pencil tip brush type. Have not tried the treatment yet but I like the base & top coat. Indeed keep my lash color intact. I used to have some color stain on undereye and my eyes uncomfortable maybe some color smudge off during long day wear. With this, my eyes area is clean and so far no eye itch plus I can feel my lash is in position from morning till now and it is not droopy. So, yes another product in my satisfied list. I am not a makeup person nor an expert so eyeliner is a challenge to me. However, this one is significant. I do not have glitch with it. At first I was afraid I would spoil my make up but it turned out to be well grip and application is swift. Definitely, a re-purchase.
Mom has a sensitive lips. We both use lip balm Milk. So far no complain from mom and as for me, well I have dry chap lip. It greatly helps. So, my lipstick application has become nice pout :) No flaky skin appearance. I bought its Pomegranate Lipstick Matte berry color. Usually, my lips will not cooperate with matte lipstick eventhough i like using as outcome will be even drier lips and cause color tone ugly. But not in this case, use it by its own, still moist and yet matte. Since, I bought the lip balm Milk, I have been applying the balm 1st before the lipstick. So far so good.
CONCLUSION FOR SKINFOOD PRODUCTS:- NO WORDS CAN DESCRIBE HOW SATISFIED I AM. THIS IS THE FIRST BRAND I FINISHED USING THE SAMPLES AS WELL AS FREE GIFTS SETS WITHOUT WASTING THEM. I WILL DEFINITELY STICK TO THIS BRAND IF MY SKIN CONTINUES TO BE IN SUCH CONDITION OR EVEN BETTER GETTING HEALTHIER. I AM A SATISFIED SKINFOOD USER!!!
