Nutriva Premium Nutritional Yeast Flakes
Unique taste, enjoyed it a lot!
It looks like cornflakes at first sight, but it melts in my Milo drink. I prefer this over yeast powder. Crunchy and delicious, it adds a unique taste and layering to the plain old Milo. I think it would go great with savoury dishes too so check it out! This is good stuff!
Nutriva Premium Nutritional Yeast Powder
Unique Taste, Would Work Well with Creamy and Savoury Dishes
I added the Nutriva Premium Nutritional Yeast Powder to Milo drink, it produced a slightly salty soupy taste. If there's a correct way to describe it, it's probably 'cheese without the milk', so it would be perfect for those who are on a vegan diet but want to eat cheese. It also contains Vitamin B12 which is key in keeping fatigue, blurred vision, pale skin, mobility issues, mood changes and mouth ulcers at bay. As you would have imagined, the Milo-yeast combination is not exactly one of my favourites, but I think it will go great with dishes that are supposed to be salty / savoury in nature, like vegetable salad, mushroom soup or nasi lemak.
Alcon Opti-Free Puremoist Multi-Purpose Solution
Works Well in Cleaning Debris off Lenses
Alcon effectively cleanses my lenses after daily wear, I can definitively see little flakes of debris in the cleansing water, and sometimes eyelashes too. It doesn't sting the eye like certain brands, and keeps my lenses moisturized the whole day at work. I would say that Alcon is one of the better lense solutions that I have come across. I would vouch for Alcon lense solution any time to provide the best comfort! I got this in both the big bottle and the small bottle, both bottles come with one lense case.
Baby Foot
Get Baby Smooth Feet in One Week!
The Baby Smooth is a wonderful feet mask that does its job perfectly. It removes dead skin cells and give way to perfect baby smooth skin in just a few days! The first step is to wash your feet, dry them and then cut open the plastic feet masks and put them on. There are stickers provided within the box that help keep the masks in place. Then wait for 1 hour before you take it off. The chemicals in the plastic masks will do their job to exfoliate the dead skin cells from your feet within 5-7 days. Then wait up until the 10th day and you will see the magic! Just a note, this feet mask might not be suitable for those with skin irritations/cuts/burns as they do contain chemicals, so if you have one of these conditions please seek medical advice before proceeding.
Bioconnexion OatGrain 35
Delicious and healthy drink!
Bioconnexion Oatgrain 35 smells really good when prepared with hot water, and the contents dissolve easily into a milky white colour liquid. It is not too sweet and not too thick. The suggested serving is 2 packets with 150ml of water but I only make 1 packet at a time because I prefer it to be smaller cup but still considerably fulfilling. The ingredients are really attractive as they are 100% natural with no preservatives, GMO nor colouring. It is also suitable for people who are lactose-intolerant and also vegetarian. I would recommend this drink to those who want to try a healthy drink for a change.
Sanctum Tone & Refresh Mist
Very good product! Thumbs up!
I have sensitive skin coupled with mild eczema so I am very careful whenever it comes to choosing skincare products. I have never tried anything from Sanctum before so I'm really quite excited to review this Tone & Refresh Mist.
I use the Sanctum Tone & Refresh Mist morning and night after cleansing my face. I also use it as a mist over my make-up to give it a dewy finish. Most natural or organic products tend to be too oily and often clog my pores, causing breakouts but the Sanctum Tone & Refresh Mist does not give me any problem at all. In fact, it calms and hydrates my skin with the Aloe Vera juice in it. I follow up with a good moisturizer after this product to lock in the natural goodness.
I love that this product contains so many good stuff - Rose Water, Aloe Vera, Cucumber and Witch Hazel Extracts. It has a lovely hint of rose that makes me feel good using it. I am very happy with how this product worked out for me, and I'll be keeping my eyes open for other products from this brand.
HappyMask Berries Garden Face Mask
Hydrating and Nourishing!
I received a set of 5 different flavours to review. The masks were surprisingly not strong-scented (good for people who don't like artificial scents in their masks) and quite hydrating. The size is a good fit for my face. There is some texture to the masks due to the patterned surface. These masks are good for a quick hydration boost to the skin. After using, there was a sheen of moisture on my face which I did not wash off. The residue dries up to be a little sticky on my skin but nothing unmanageable. You may choose to wash it off, or just continue with your post-mask skincare routine i.e. serum, essence and moisturizer/night mask.
derma365 Gentle Lotion
Love this gentle lotion!
I use this derma365 Gentle Lotion right after using the Gentle Cleanser. It has a really nice texture and nourishes my skin effectively. What I like about this lotion is that it is suitable for those who have dry or sensitive skin so it is definitely a blessing to my eczema-prone skin. It also contains organic Colloidal Oatmeal and Trimethylglycine which protects my skin against dehydration. The derma365 Gentle Lotion is priced at RM34.90 for 200ml, which is really affordable. As with the Gentle Cleanser, you can purchase it at any Guardian store nationwide. For best results, I would recommend you to use this together with the Gentle Cleanser. First, shower in lukewarm water using the Gentle Cleanser, then apply this lotion.
derma365 Gentle Cleanser
Love this gentle cleanser!
I love this cleanser because it is very mild and does not irritate my eczema-prone skin. The formulation is free from irritating or harmful ingredients such as soap, colourant, fragrance, MIT, parabens, lanolin, animal derived ingredients, mineral oil, SLS and SLES. I took lukewarm showers while using derma365 Gentle Cleanser. The competitive price is also a plus - derma365 Gentle Cleanser is priced at RM48.90 for 500ml, which is cheaper than Cetaphil so I am considering to switch brands. You can easily get derma365 products at any Guardian store nationwide. Use the Gentle Cleanser together with the Gentle Lotion for best results!
NAVEEN Hydrating Mask
Nice Face Mask
This face mask is thicker than normal masks. There are no excess plastic sheets in the packaging to provide structure, so it takes a little effort to unfold the mask. I like that it is made using organic certified cotton which is safer and biodegradable. The scent is very light that it almost feels as if there is no fragrance. The formula is very calming and soothing, and my face feels refreshed and hydrated after using it. I think one way this mask can be improved is to have a complete list of ingredients at the back of each mask packaging.
NAVEEN Scalp Energy Tonic
Useful scalp care product!
I use this after shampooing and conditioning, and before blow drying my hair. It has a bit of a herbal smell and is brown in colour. The texture is watery and can be applied easily on the scalp without much problem. It refreshes my scalp and allows it to stay oil-free for up to 36 hours. The only downside is how the smell of the tonic is not compatible with the fruity scent of my shampoo and as a result it smells weird after application. I would recommend you to use it together with a shampoo in NAVEEN\'s range.
Botaneco Garden TRIO Oil Anti Dandruff Conditioner
Makes my hair soft and good-smelling
I'm pretty impressed with this conditioner. It's really good-smelling, and does not make my hair feel oily after using - it only gives my hair a lingering softness. Similar to the shampoo, it contains the organic trio oil, i.e. babassu oil, baobab oil and chufa oil, which claims to reduce dandruff and control formation of flakes. However, I would personally recommend you NOT to apply conditioner to the roots/scalp because it might clog your hair pores and cause scalp pimples. I learned this from experience.
Botaneco Garden TRIO Oil Anti Dandruff Shampoo
Gentle Floral Scent
The scent is a gentle floral/earthy scent which is not too strong. The texture is semi-gel type, and lathers well. However, it is definitely different than other shampoos I\'ve used before because it doesn\'t feel very soapy. In fact, after cleansing for the first time, I felt like I haven\'t washed my hair well enough that I did another round of shampooing. This is probably because this shampoo contains organic trio oil, i.e. babassu oil, baobab oil and chufa oil, which claims to reduce dandruff and control formation of flakes. I might need some time to get used to this shampoo because I normally have oily scalp and use shampoo that cleanses really well (strips all the oil and gunk on my scalp but doesn\'t really solve the problem as it makes my scalp produce more oil). Hopefully this shampoo will make my scalp less oily after a few uses.
Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstick Flush Bitten RD02
Nice Cherry Shade
The Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstick Flush Bitten contains shea butter which moisturizers your lips. The colour is quite sheer, and can be used with other lipsticks. RD02 Cherry has a pinkish-red shade that gives a natural look to the lips. However, the staying power is not that long, and it does come off on glasses sometimes. It's suitable for daily use and looks good just as it is, or with full makeup.
Atomy Herbal Shampoo
Herbal Smell with Cool Refreshing Feel
This shampoo is designed to nourish hair from the scalp. It is made from plant extracts, which explains why it has a strong, woodsy herbal smell. I believe not everyone can accept this smell, but I thought it was alright for me. When initially using this shampoo, I felt a cooling sensation on my scalp but after a few uses my scalp got used to it and it doesn't feel so cooling anymore. Overall, I felt my scalp becoming healthier after using this shampoo. My scalp is less oily after using it.
STABILO Point 88 in wallet of 20’s
Most Pretty Note-Making Pens
I just love the colours! I use these to make notes frequently, especially charts and mind maps. I usually use purple for the header and cyan for the description. It really helps that the colours are very pretty and what I write will stay in my mind thereafter.
Kinder Chocolate
My Comfort Food
Kinder Bueno Chocolate is sort of like my comfort food. It's so sweet and creamy, everybody loves it! I especially appreciate the fact that their wafer layer stays crispy even though there's cream on the inside. Makes the whole tasting experience even more precious.
Mentos Roll
Get brain-freeze with Mentos Air!
I've tried all Mentos variations but my favourite (aside from the traditional fruity flavours) is Mentos Air. It's so cool that I can feel icy air coming out from my nostrils. Take this on a hot day and you'll experience brain-freeze!
Prego Carbonara Mushroom Pasta Sauce
My favourite pasta sauce brand
I absolutely LOVE Prego Carbonara Mushroom Pasta Sauce! It's so thick and creamy, and tastes so good! The price is a little expensive, so I won't eat this everyday, but every once in a while I like to pamper myself with it! I like the tomato sauce too but Carbonara will always be my favourite!
Eclairer Skin Beauty Drink
Tastes good, hope to brighten my skin tone!
The list of ingredients seems to be clean enough and is a great option for lactose-intolerant people.
This drink contains Komecera Rice Ceramide, Hithion Torula Yeast Extract and Natural Antioxidants from Berries, Lemon, and Vitamin C.
It also claims to be 100% natural, with no preservatives, no GMO, no colourings, no lactose.
Dextrose is used as the sweetener. Dextrose is a simple sugar which has a chemical composition identical to glucose and is beneficial for health when consumed in moderation.
I’m not commenting on the effectiveness as of yet, as I believe any product (even a good one) takes time to show results, and I have just started trying this drink.
But taste-wise, it is great. Texture is very light and refreshing, not really sweet. Just mix 100ml of water with one sachet of powder.
I believe long-term consumption will show brightening and anti-aging results.
