ecoBrown’s Unpolished Brown Rice
My only choice for brown rice
Started eating ecobrown rice since my family decided to change our usual jasmine white rice to brown rice. One recommendation would be get a pressure cooker to cook this brown rice instead of usual rice cooker for better rice texture (less dry). Like the fact it's like vacuum packed, seems more hygienic.
Massimo Bread with Wheat Germ
Almost Daily Basis
Think I usually start my day with a slice of this bread with a nice cup of hot milo. I used to buy Gardenia bread but I find massimo bread to be a little thicker and firmer which adds up to a better eating pleasure. The only frustrating part about this bread is that you gotta get it from the hyper market before 9pm else it's gone! Sold out! Highly recommended bread for families.
OEM Zumba Fitness Exhilarate Body Shaping System DVD Set + Toning Sticks
Dancing aerobics
It's fun and can learn basic Latin dance moves as well.. Comes with few CD with different difficulties but personally I prefer the 'Step by Step' Video which can learn on Latin dancing.
It's a fun way to sweat, better than normal aerobics video. It works well for lazy people like me who can't make it to gym centre for classes :)
Don't expect the Zumba sticks to act as a dumbbell though, it's more like a 'prop' to follow the work out steps. It's super light and very plastic feel.
OEM Shake Weight Dumbbell Shoulder Muscle Builder Fitness and Exercise for Men
Doesn't last long
It looks the same for the ladies version. It's ok for short period. Really have to be careful not to drop it else some spring inside will be gone case and really cannot use already. It's already my 2nd unit. Comes with a CD with demo on how to use it and some brief work out moves. But can easily find more shake weight video online.
After workout, can feel the 'butterfly' area of the arm muscle slightly sore, but just abit boring at times.
INFINITY KOSE Tone Up Wash
Slightly too rich
Got it as a sample. It's feels abit too 'rich' for my skin. Not much foam though, can feel skin slightly dried-up after use. Skin slightly reddish after wash, have to faster apply toner after wash.
Faber Gament Steamer FGS 1916
Durable!
This steamer helps a lot in straightening delicate clothings. No more stress in accidently burning my dress using normal iron. I can say this product is really reliable and durable. Been using it for 2 years and it still functions very well. Come on, it's hard to find some local brands items which last more than a year without hiccups! Can safely say, it's a bargain buy!
SEKKISEI Clear Whitening Mask
Ouch!
One word, ouch??!! Really I don't get it, why is the peeling off part so painful, I think some facial hairs were removed in the process?? I had to use a wet facial cotton to slowly damp my face in order to slowly remove this mask.. of course leaving my face reddish after that.. this is not recommended if you have medium dry skin.
SEKKISEI Herbal Esthetic
Average
I find this mask abit normal.. really just apply, then few minutes later wash away abit.. yeah, feels skin abit softer but not like really brighten up or much 'wow' effect.. recommended to spend on Kose radiance boost mask instead, this one abit normal.
SEKKISEI SUPREME Moisturizer I / II
Good To Lighten Freckles
I use this product as my day cream sometimes since it feels abit light and easily absorbed kind of feeling.. however i personally think it's not that suitable for ladies above 30 since it doesn't have much 'anti-aging' effect..
It's good to be used as a whitening lotion to reduce freckles, because I developed a lot of freckles from outdoor sports during high schools.. think it helped a lot to lighten the freckles.
SEKKISEI Sun Protect Essence Milk N SPF50+/PA++++
Too Dry
I usually try to find sunblock which is non-oily but I still find this product a little too dry for my skin especially approaching afternoon, I can literally see like got patches of uneven lotion or powder patch surface on my face ?
I tried applying thicker moisturer layer prior to this sunblock but just doesn't help.. abit wasted
SEKKISEI Lotion
Works as a facial mask too!!
Just a tips for ladies out there using Sekkisei Lotion, which I literally can't live without, is that you can actually use it as a quick fix mask!! Just get this little round Kose lotion mask sheet from the Kose counter of course, place it on the cap, just dash in 4-5 drops of lotion then 'vollaaa' the mini cotton mask will expand to the perfect face mask.
Usually I'll leave it on my face for about 10-15mins till it dries up abit then if the cotton mask is still a little moist, gently wipe over your neck as well. It's like a quick fix especially long hours in air-cond places and immediately can feel my face more moistured and freshen up. Plus, it's cheaper than getting the usual Kose mask ?
SEKKISEI Essence Mask
Face Mask Pic
To add in my review, of course after using the mask, this is how the face mask looks like.. you can see it's slightly 'broader' than usual mask but instead of leaving it on my face for 10-15 mins as written on the packaging, I do recommend to leave it on for 30 mins.. it's still moist with loads of essence!! Don't waste hehe
SEKKISEI Emulsion
Recommended As Night Lotion
I never go to bed without this emulsion. Although it feels a little sticky when I applied it but the next morning I really can feel my skin feeling softer and not sticky anymore of course.
I find it effective to recover from some reddish spots especially after 'blackhead pressing session'.. I just need to apply a little more to the 'affected' area and the next morning the reddish patch is gone and I felt the blackhead area kinda 'recovered' ?
SEKKISEI Clear Cleansing Oil
Best Make-up Remover
Removes make-up really easily, especially eyeliners. All I need to do is to gently massage around my eyes and it cleans up the eye area perfectly!
Tried other make-up remover and none of it works as good as Sekkisei cleansing oil. Feels really gentle on my skin. Thumbs up!!
SEKKISEI Lotion
Treat for your skin
This is one product that works miracle for all skin types.. gives the glow, makes your face feeling fresh.. occasionally Kose have limited edition jumbo bottles for super value price, really should grab it whenever you see the offer.. this is one product worth investing in. ?
SEKKISEI Sun Protect Essence Gel N SPF50+/PA++++
Works for Msia's weather
Been using this for years, there is no way we can survive under the sun without a minimum spf 40.. this is like spf50!! (Thank goodness).. love love love it!!
Advisable to apply a thin layer of moisturizer before putting on any product with spf to avoid skin drying up (my own 2 cents though).. love the fact it\'s squeeze tube and no mess at the cap.. worth buying!!
SEKKISEI Essence Mask
Girl's best friend
Personally think this is the only face mask you will ever need, regardless whatever skin you have.
One piece of it, and the next day you will your face like totally brighten up and \\\'bouncy\\\'.
Especially when you need to put on make-up the next day but having horrible dried-up skin, just put it on the night before and trust me, the next day, whatever make-up product works miracle on your face.
SEKKISEI White Powder Wash
Good for Travel
Got it as a sample some time ago. Cleans face well but I feel it makes the skin a little too dry after that.
Maybe more recommended for oily skin types.
However, recommended for traveling purpose since it's in powder form, light weight and no issue for liquid restrictions at the airport.
Scotch Brite Quick Sweeper Microfiber Mop (MF400)
Useful
Been using this mop for years. Makes cleaning super easy, it\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s really like sweep & wet mopping all in one.
Saves time and cleaner too. Love the fact the handle has adjustable heights, less strain for the back.. Only issue is that the refill is darn expensive.
OMOROSE Lip Dressing
Yummy lips
Started using this couple days ago and loving it!!
Most importantly it is paraben free.. I always have this mindset fearing 'tasting' too much lip balm/gloss will cause cancer ?. So omorose brand product is what I need! I'm using the watermelon flavor one coz it smells so nice plus it matches the colour of my lips. Can feel once I applied it, that kind of gentle moisture and no 'lumpy' bits stuck on my lips. No need to constantly apply it throughout the day. I only re-apply a thin layer after I wiped my mouth after meal.. *cost saving*
