This market compared to other's market is considered small BUT for handmade lovers definitely can't miss out this one. I dint plan to go for this market , I'm actually going to Siam Paragon to get my YSL  cosmetics but accidentally found this small handmade market. I was so excited !

My 2015 beauty regime

Hi everyone!
 How do you start with your beauty regime ? 

Here is a short & simple post about my 2015 beauty regime :) 
Thanks to butterfly project I'm able to try all this awesome products ! 

First of all, 



Aloe vera soothing & refresh gel mist from Always21
100ML

My thoughts about Always21 Aloe vera soothing & refresh gel mist : 

I'm using it now everyday, to be honest I never try any mist before, 
cause I'm a person who doesn't like my skin to be sticky , but I guess that's why I'm having a serious dehydrate skin. 
 I put it in my office and use it everyday , spray on my face every 3 to 4 hours . My skin immediately felt refresh and not sticky at all , plus the ingredient is 95% aloe vera, I think it does have calming effect too,  very suitable for those who driving or travel under hot sun . Every girl should put a facial mist in your handbags , car or office !  I even spray it on my neck, shoulders , hands whenever I felt that my skin is in damage from sun or heat. Although it call 'gel' mist, but it seems like normal water mist to me. 




Matrix Biolage Smooth Proof shampoo
400ML 
RM55
Frizzy and unmanageable hair can be difficult to control and style. Inspired by natures water-resistant camellia, Biolage SMOOTHPROOF Shampoo for frizzy hair provides humidity control and anti-frizz smoothness even in 97% humidity.*
*When using the system of SMOOTHPROOF Shampoo, Conditioner and Serum vs. a non-conditioning shampoo.

●Shampoo with frizzy hair cleanses and controls frizz for manageability and smoothness
●Polishes hair and encapsulates it in a protective shield
●Paraben-free formula is also suitable for color-treated hair

My thoughts about Matrix Biolage smooth proof shampoo : 

 I like to colour my hair every 3 to 4 months and previously did a permenant curl to my hair so my hair basically very damage and super dry. even number76 steve asked me do more treatment to save my current damage spoil hair :'(  so I hess it is the best time to use this shampoo! 
after 2 months I felt my hair is smoother but well of course can't compare with intensive treatment like hair mask or hair conditioner , but I guess at least better than my previous head&shoulder one? 
and oh ya!  The smells is great too :D 
available in many different types for different people , some is for colouring , straightening , dry and etc. You can get this from any big saloon around KL area :) 


following that would be 
Garnier Sakura white pinkish radiance sleeping essence
RM22 
18ml 



Garnier Sakura White Pinkish Radiance Sleeping Essence is enriched with 2x sakura extracts, a gentle but powerful ingredient from Japan. This delicate night cream, with a blend of natural sakura extracts, natural fruit extracts, and vitamin CG, hydrates skin for 24 hours and lets skin breathe while you sleep. It helps lighten skin tone, fade dark spots, and refine skin texture. Wake up with pinkish radiant skin that feels smoother, softer, bouncier, and more refreshed. This formula is suitable for sensitive skin.
* Pinkish Radiance Sleeping Essence
* After one night, skin is deeply moisturized, plumped, and smooth
* In two weeks, skin becomes beautiful like a sakura flower
* Translucent pinkish radiant skin tone
* In 4 weeks, dark spots are reduced

My thoughts about Garnier Sakura white pinkish radiance sleeping essence :

I used it on night time before I go to bed , it is moisturise but I think this product is more suitable for normal - dry skin, for me is a bit too oily , I prefer something more light weight. I passed it to my mom (normal skin) she's using perfectly fine and fairer with garnier sakura white facial foam. 
my mom used to have darker skin tone cause always go out fetch my brother to work and also always  hang clothes or doing house work under a hot bright sun. 


Hope you like my review !

ValerieYan

Nivea HandCream and Nivea In shower skin conditioner REVIEW

Hi ladies! 
Today I'm gonna review Nivea 

Product description

Nivea Smooth Nourishing Hand Cream is a rich yet quickly absorbed cream that softens and nourishes dry hands. Use daily to improve the skin’s elasticity and leave hands and cuticles smooth and supple. Pamper and intensively nourish hands with this unique macadamia nut oil and vitamin enhanced formula.

· Ceramides to help improve the skins structure
· Vitamin-complex containing pro-vitamin B5 and vitamin F to regenerate dry skin
· Macadamia nut oil to soothe and relieve taut skin
· Dermatologically approved

How to Use:
Massage Nivea Hand Nourishing Cream into hands as often as required.


Nivea Smooth Nourishing Hand Cream has a light, anti-dryness vitamin complex to restore and improve the skin’s elasticity.


My thoughts about Nivea Hand Cream Smooth Nourishing :
I only received this hand cream about a week ago & I've been using it every day & I love it! Why? coz it absorbs VERY quicky, I have dry hands at this time of year but as soon as I put this on my hands, my hands are very soft!, it's non-greasy & not a problem with sensitive skin but if you have VERY sensitive skin this hand cream probably isn't for you but what I would recommend for those with VERY sensitive is Nivea's Pure & Natural Hand Cream coz that's what I had before I bought this one & it's a great hand cream which works just aswell! & it has more Natural ingridents in it too, so if you have VERY sensitive skin you're probably better trying that hand cream. Anyway! This is a very good hand cream I would definetly recommend this hand cream!
But i've tried several different hand creams and this one as it leaves your hands greasy. thats not so good when you have to write things later as it makes the pen slip! :P





Nivea In shower Body moisturiser (skin conditioner)  
The skin conditioning formula is applied straight after cleansing in the shower and is rinsed off immediately to reveal soft and silky feeling skin.
No need to wait, the formula is instantly absorbed into wet skin so you can dry yourself, get dressed and go!

How to Use
Nivea In-Shower Body Moisturiser is easy to use and works in four simple steps:
1. Cleanse with normal shower product and rinse off
2. Apply NIVEA In-Shower Body Moisturiser while still in the shower
3. Rinse off
4. Dry yourself, get dressed and go!

Hazards and Cautions
Important: Rinse shower tray or bath to avoid slipping

My thoughts about Nivea In shower body moisturiser :
I never heard of any skin conditioner products before , 
I'm quite excited when I received this product . 
I have tried this a couple of times & it does moisturise my skin a bit but after a while I have felt the need to apply some body lotion in some areas.
I always use body lotion after a shower as I do have quite dry skin in places.
I think this is quite a good product & it would probably suit you very well if you do not have dry skin.
It is a bit more like a hair conditioner than a moisturiser & I must admit it is nice to get out of the shower & not have to bother about faffing about with body lotion.
and as mentioned, the floor is very very slippery after this skin conditioner, make sure you clean your floor every time after this. Especially when kids is around :) 

I Hope My Review is Helpful! :)

Regards,
ValerieYan




My 2015 make up (Butterfly Beauty Box)

Hi ladies! 
today I'm gonna review & unbox for this Butterfly project beauty box ! 
I've lost my beauty box due to some reasons and luckily tammy 
(the owner of butterfly project gave me another box!) 
Or else I'm gonna missed this great chance for trying out all these awesome beauty products :) 



First of all my favourite among all would be this 
Dolly Wink black eyeliner 
I've been using this eyeliner for past few years,  
I never thought of changing any others brand at all. 
it is very easy to control the thickness and also very very long lasting even I have an oily skin .


l'occitane hand lotion 
this flavour is newly launch in Malaysia (if not wrong ) 
it has a very feminine rose flowery smell (totally my cup of tea)! the texture is slightly different with others cream lotion, this is slightly thicker and the smell last longer too ! 
it is small and I just put it in my handbags and I'm good to go. 

move to the next would be 
Maybelline Baby Lips Electro Pop lip balm
the colour may look very rich like hot pink colour but its actually a baby pink colour which I think suitable for every skin tone in Asia. Lip balm with a hint of pink colour, moisturise and colour your lip on the same time. 
Available in total 5 colours, the one I'm using was the left one :)  





Here is my simple make up by using butterfly box :3 

Hope you like it !

ValerieYan

First impression : look normal & I dint expect much honestly. 
BUT ... BUT ... BUT ...
It's totally over my expectation from the first try on my face. 
 I couldn't stop using it now
 and I am using it EVERYDAY. 
I've using it for the whole month, me and my family can see a huge change of my skin. 
I've been changing and using all different skincare brands and this definitely gonna be  in my top 3 list .
  why say so? 

packaging is very simple, I hope they can make the packaging more attractive.



First I'm gonna review is 

Skin Essentials
Eye & Lip Makeup Remover (100ml)
RM49

The Neesya Eye & Lip Makeup Remover is a gentle, bi-phase Makeup Remover. It is specially formulated for 3 key actions: 
Whisks off stubborn, waterproof make-up without rubbing or aggravating the delicate eye contour and lip area 
Helps prevent anti-aging with Sunflower Oil, Vit A, C, E, and Pro-vitamin B5 
Conditions and hydrates the skin 

Unlike other & lip makeup removers which just strip off everything - sometime a little too harshly - this gentle but effective makeup remover leaves the eyes area perfectly clean and soothed.
This gentle, bi-phase Make-Up Remover is specifically designed to whisk off stubborn, waterproof make-up without rubbing or aggravating the delicate eye contour and lip area. Enriched with Sunflower Oil for anti-aging benefits of Vit A,C and E. Pro-vitamin B5, conditions and hydrates the skin leaving the eye area perfectly clean and soothed.

My thoughts about NEESYA Eye&Lip makeup remover 
It does remove my make up easily but for those waterproof & long lasting products does require few swipes , overall is good just that I hope they have another type of make up remover which is without oil and instantly remove all make up at once so I won't need to carry 2 different type of make up remover :) 

Pros
- just 1 swipe all my foundation, eyeliner, eyebrow pencil are totally gone.

Cons
-waterproof mascara and ysl long lasting lip stain need double or triple swipes only managed to take off. 
- need double cleanse to remove the oils away 



LumiScience°®
Illuminating Essence (65ml)
RM129

My thoughts about Nessya Illuminating essence : 
This is the BEST essence I've ever used ! Even better then SK II If you ask me. 
It just prefect for my combination -oily skin ! I apply every morning and night , every next morning I can feel my skin is getting better & better . 

PROS 
-SUPER awesome awesome awesome result

Lumi°®
Brightening Enzymatic Refiner (75ml)
RM69

An effective leave-on exfoliant enhances the appearance of skin clarity, even tone and radiance. Formulated with papain, this gentle enzyme efficiently lifts away lifeless skin cells to reveal a brighter, smoother complexion and encourage cell renewal. Extract of Silver Vine Extract and AlphaMelight™ complement the exfoliation process with skin brightening effects, while Pro-Vitamin B and aloe extract restore hydration to help skin regain its glowing vitality. 

How To Use
Smooth an even layer of over cleansed, dry skin. Ensure even coverage over the face and neck. Apply a thicker layer over stubborn dark spots. Massage lightly in a circular motion for about 30 seconds and leave on for another 3 minutes. Before rinsing off, wet your fingers and gently massage to soften. Rinse thoroughly. Use 1 – 2 times a week for optimum brightening effects.

My thoughts about Brightening Enzymatic Refiner 
I've never use a refiner before, mostly in the market are selling scrubs , but for thin skin people like me 
if use scrubs is too harsh , so I barely use any scrubs. But this refiner is something very similar to scrub and very very gentle to my skin,the feelings is just like apply a layer of mask and massage gently for about 30 minutes leave on for 5-10 minutes , use a wet cotton and remove the refiner, lastly rinse off. 

PROS 
-giving the same effect as scrub ,but this is WAY more gentle .

CONS 
- no? everything is good about this refiner : D


Lumi°®

Contains concentrated dose of brightening complex to help diminish skin discoloration, revitalise complexion and restore skin hydration while you rest. Recharges tired skin with essential moisture and anti-oxidants to help skin regain it suppleness, vitality and youthful glow.

My thoughts about NEESYA Brightening overnight mask
one of the BEST sleeping mask! For people who lazy like me, especially tired from work, just apply a thick layer and jump to the bed ! 

PROS 
-convenient ! 
-giving me a brightening , hydration and smooth skin every morning.
-It dint leave any oily or sticky feels after 1 or 2 hours. 

CONS
- slightly sticky on the first 1 or 2 hours .

my fully naked face without any photoshop (add watermark only) & make up camera touch up. 
totally original naked face. 



Me with my recent favorite skin care NEESYA . 
This is really a good brand , everything is beyond my expectation , I'm really glad Malaysia can produce this awesome brand. I'm going to get it from The Mines counter after I finish the whole set !
-from the bottom of my heart-

Hope you like my review!

Love,
ValerieYan
