[REVIEW]Ampoules de Soins - A French Ampoule..

( ^_^)/ やぁ!Oho,another post from me tonight!
Tomorrow is a big day which we will celebrate Eidulfitri,a festive season that are very popular and celebrated 
every year by muslims.!
Have you ironed your 'Baju Raya'?And Is all 'Kuih Raya' is prepared?
Well,that was a very common scene that you will see when you're in Malaysia in this season..hehe
Yeah,for sure everybody is happy!After a month straight we are fasting,now we can have a delicious dishes
 special made for 'Hari Raya'!
I already finished all my preparation for tomorrow and yeah time to blog for another beauty products that I 
used since 2 weeks ago!

This time it was an ampoules..Have your heard of it?
If not then aampoule (also ampule or ampulla) is a small sealed vial which is used to contain and preserve a sample, usually a solid or liquid. Ampoules are commonly made of glass, although plastic ampoules do exist.
Modern ampoules are most commonly used to contain pharmaceuticals and chemicals that must be protected from air and contaminants. They are hermetically sealed by melting the thin top with an open flame, and usually opened by snapping off the neck. If properly done, this last operation creates a clean break without any extra glass shards or slivers; but the liquid or solution may be filtered for greater assurance. The space above the chemical may be filled with an inert gas before sealing. The walls of glass ampoules are usually sufficiently strong to be brought into a glovebox without any difficulty.(Source: wikipedia)

My first time using an ampoules is from BEAUTEE brand which was given by a seller when I bought a range of skincare with her.I heard that brand was quite popular in salon but this time I wanna try another brand which is Ampoules de Soins - A French Ampoule.


Come and a look at the pictures taken by me just now..
The ampoule box..I've used 5/10 already..

The single bottle.Only 3ml..

This is was the bottle looks like.I have to break the glass before I can used it..But its not hurt at all..

There..Break the glass like the arrow shown..

The bottle that already filled with the ampoules.This was given free by the seller.

Because of the opening is too small for the water to flow out,so I have to use the applicator that given by the seller to suck up the water..hehe

This was it looks like..just like water..

Spread it out..

and dried..

Because I choose the acne purifying one,it dries so fast on my skin.yeah probably because it wanted to dried out the acne and heal it...
I used this for 2 weeks already and I would say that this could be the best make-up base for me!haha..because I always sweating and my face will become oily,this one prevents that from happen in short time..
For the drying and healing parts,I think I still need to wait because it doesn't show any improvement till now..
Before that,I wanna tell you that ampoules usually have large range of type.So you can choose yours from hydrating to oily..from acne to whitening and so on..so good luck on trying.Have any recommendation of the best ampoules you used??Tell me!

That's all for tonight.I'm going to head on to Malay movies this night because usually the movies are awesome!

[REVIEW]Argan Oil : Liquid Gold of Morocco

(^-^*)/コンチャ! Konnitiha! or as well we pronounced it Konnichiwa!haha!
As I said on my previous post,I said that I will be blogging throughout the week!(Forgive me if I'm not 
m(_ _)m)
Okay,so today I'm going to review about an oil which I bought not too long ago..maybe 2 weeks already as I remembered..I'm pretty sure some of might have heard or might not heard of this oil..But before that,let me tell you a little bit about Argan Oil,if it is not enough,then I'll tell you more if you wanted to know,just ask!hehe..

What is Argan Oil?
Argan Oil is made from the nuts of the Argan tree, which grows almost exclusively in Morocco. The oil is said to have restorative and age-defying effects, and have astonishing healing, conditioning and anti-aging properties to keep your skin and hair nourished and revitalized and to keep you looking beautiful from head to toe.

It has been used by Moroccan women for centuries for it’s nutritional and cosmetic benefits. It is commonly called "liquid gold" or "The Gold of Morocco" and is an incredibly rich source of Vitamin E and essential fatty acids. It also acts as an excellent moisturizer for the skin, regardless of any season. It can be used the entire year round and helps lock moisture from escaping through the skin, so that it remains supple and radiant.

The production of this oil is a demanding and laborious process, which was completely realized by hand until mechanical presses have been introduced recently. Neither solvent nor heat is used for this oil extraction. It is first cold pressed oil which makes for a high nutritive quality.

What are the components?
High content of Essential Fatty Acids (palmitic acid: 14%, stearic acid: 5%, oleic acid: 43.5%, linoleic acid: 37%) .
Extremely rich in Vitamin E.
Squalene is a natural moisturiser that penetrates the skin quickly and does not leave a greasy feel.
Carotenes, the precursor to Vitamin A, aka Retinol. It protect the skin against UV radiation, and can even reverse damage already done by restoring suppleness.
Sterols is another plant based matter which is a potential anticarcinogen. It modifies and protects the skin's structure from the harmful UV rays of the sun. 
Polyphenol Antioxidants are antioxidants that have a phenolic substructure that play a role in gene regulation and inflammatory enzyme activity. 
Prostaglandin are lipids that are derived enzymatically from fatty-acids. They play an important role in the body, including the regulation of inflammation and cell growth.
Carotenoids are natural pigments found mainly in plants. They may play a role in preventing cell, tissue and genetic damage.
Ferulic Acid is an antioxidant that reacts with free-radicals that have been implicated in DNA damage, aging and cancer.
Fine source of Phenols which is a good disinfectant.

What about scent?
The Argan Oil is raw, extra virgin therefore expect the characteristic natural scent of raw Argan Oil which many people have no problems with. The natural smell is nutty and the scent dissipates in minutes as Argan Oil absorbs in your skin pretty fast. 

Well,that's a bit of it and I'm sure you will be able to understand a bit right?hehe..
Here,take a look of the bottle,I only bought 10ml first as trial size,there are 5 ml sample size available for purchase too!

A great bottle..Its easy to use this..

ahah!It is called Liquid Gold of Morocco because it have a lot of benefits!

It is 100%Pure and organic!Safe for muslims!

The applicator..

Onto my hands..it is a bit yellow for its actual color but this will look clear on skin..

My thoughts..
I used this for 2 weeks already before I have my night sleep..
and I agree this oil have a nutty smell.It actually bothers me at first but after using it few times,i become addicted to the smell..haha XD
The first week I used this,my acne/pimples show nothing but recently,I stopped using this oil for 3 days and I could see that my face become terrible with breakouts.Oh it's not that this oil that causing my skin become like that.It just that I realize this 'liquid gold' actually do something to heal my face while I was using it..maybe its not much showed but at least it does!I do check my face a while ago and I suddenly know that my range of acne/pimples is reduced!I used to have acne/pimples and small bumps from under my eye till jaw..and the range is smaller now and the breakouts only appear on the middle of my cheeks..yeah..their fav place anyway.. *sigh*
Today I decide to wear this oil again after I left it for about 3 days..hehe..I'm going to use this and see more future results.I believe that this oil is not a short term results but need some time for it to react and heals completely!
It is an oil type...yeah..that was very known..haha..
Only a few drops would be great on problematic skin..
ahh..I forgot to tell that this oil not only can be used on skin but anywhere at your body..like hair and nails!
That's all and if you have anything to ask,just ask me.I'm available everyday!

ehh..before that,if you're interested to buy or sold by me,you will be able to do so here and meet seller Fitrah.I believe she will be able to tell you more about this but I'm not sure about worldwide shipping..

To muslims,Happy Eidulfitri!!

[REVIEW]Rohto Oxy Blemish Control Mask

(^-^*)/コンチャ! Hi cookiessss!I'm back for another review!Oh yeah!! ( ^ _ ^)∠☆
Only 2 days left before the festive season starts!Huurraaayyyy!!
and I spent a lot on beauty for this special festive season to looks pretty!omo..(*≧▽≦)
Last time I went to Watsons..hmm.actually didn't intend to buy any but since my sister insist me to accompany her so I have to..hehe..and finally I bought this masks!
Oxy Masks!I don't know if this thing available in your country or have heard of this line before but OXY is one the brand that promotes acne solution after the disappearing of T3!
Let's check out this mask!
A 5/5 mark for me because the packaging is able to sold me!

ahah!The main reason I bought this since I have acne-prone skin!

The ingredients!I think you guys will be able to see it..or just click the pic to enlarge!Too lazy to copy them.. (/-_・)/D・・・・・------ → (;/゜o゜)/ ザク!

The exact same packaging of the mask with the box!Each box contains two sheet of mask..

The directions for the best results!~

Okay,to my opinion,
I wear this mask straight two days after buying it..and after I opened the package,the mask have a strong smell which I can't tell what is the smell was because I'm bad at names..hehe..but it doesn't bother me since I really like the smell!!fuuuhuu!
But to disappointment, the mask shape and cutting wasn't really into my liking since the jaw was tooo BIG!I have to fold the mask till it suits my face well but you can know that the sheet now is double..
The results is not showed up either,I had few breakouts these days and these mask doesn't heal my acne/breakouts neither reduce the redness..awww..so sad..I pay a lot for this!
But maybe..or I'm not too realizing it,the smaller bumps was reduced.I don't know if I'm wrong or not but as I know,I got a lot of smaller bumps but ti reduced!Then should I say this works??errmm..didn;t know either since I use another products as well with this mask..

Anyway,repurchase?No..I better try again with BeautyMate Mask because it reduce my breakout with a piece of mask!oh yeah! ヘ(^_^ヘ)(ノ^_^)ノ

Oh..see you later!I might be blogging the whole week!

[REVIEW & SWATCHES]Relian Mascara Black Volume Series

Hey guys!I'm back for another review this time!Sorry for not posting the post about Dolly Wink eyeshadows first coz I'm gonna skip that post and instead posting this up first!This time the mascara is sent by Relian Company for review purpose.Ok,first of all let me introduce you to this company first since I've made a research before.

Relian Company basically sells only mascara in the meantime and they are also known as Relian Online Company.This company have two types of product under its company which both are mascaras that are Relian Mascara Black Volume Series and Relian Mascara Panther Series.This company starts to operate since 3 years ago and just recently there are looking for some reviewers to review their product and I was lucky to be chosen! According to them,this mascara was the best selling and most of the users are satisfied with the results!Some fans already ask them about other product and they said in the meantime,only mascara will be produced and they're planning to add some products in the future.

These are the two types of the mascaras that they produced..
Black Volume Series

Panther Series

They recently just open their facebook page and promoting there and they did ask to whoever wants to review their products,just send the details.Luckily my application were accepted and they ask me which one the mascara that I would like to review and I choose the Panther Series.However,due to limited stocks,they can't send the Panther Series to me instead asking if they can change that to Black Volume Series and I'm okay with it since both of it looks gorgeous and I'm having a hard time to choose at first..haha..

After a week,the parcel arrived to me from local place in my country and I wonder if they got a supplier here too?That must be great!This is a question that I wanted to ask but always forgot..hehe

Oh,before I start my review,I want to say that my review is honest..I post this after I made a few trials on myself.

Ok,let's move on to my review..

This is what the box is like and for your information,both of their products is include with a special box!It's great isn't it?!

The inside..wow..so sophisticated looking!I ove this!

More closer picture..Both of the tube is put neatly in the box...

Eyelash bushy!Who doesn't like bushy eyelashes right?!

The back of the box..it is in chinese but they sent me the translation is English here..you can also see this instruction on their facebook page!

If you can't see the picture clearly,please click the picture to enlarge!

This is the transplanting gel tube.

See how the brush looks like?This type of brush is good for lengthening!

I swatched it onto my hands..it dries quickly!

Another one that included in the set,Relian Fiber.

This is the brush and this is used to add volume to the lashes!

I put a bit of the fiber onto my fingers for clear picture on what the fiber looks like..

Ok,let's see what both of this items have done to my eyes..
This is my bare eyes without mascara..

My another angle of bare eyelashes.

and again,another picture of bare eyelashes.

First,I apply the Relian Transplanting Gel onto my lashes.As you can see,it darken my eyelash and give length to it.

Another shot after I apply the Relian Transplanting Gel.

Again,another shot..you can see how long my lashes becomes!!

Secondly,I apply the Relian Fiber and it does add volume to my lashes!Although you can see some of the fiber clumped onto my lashes but this can be fix in the next step!

Another pic after applying the fiber!!It becomes more bushy!

Third,I apply the transplanting gel again to stick the fiber onto my lashes!See,the clumped is all gone!This 3 steps is important to get 300% volume to your eyelashes!

Another shot for the third step.Every strands is on its own,did not clumped at all!

I took another pic of it from the side and you can see that my eyelash almost surpass my eyebrow!woahh~

Another shot,the same angle but I just wanna show more clearer sight.

As a summary and comparison,I put all the pics here to avoid confusing after looking to a bunch of pictures!haha..Look how the mascara turns my eyelashes to fabulous bushy eyelash!
(oh..please excuse the lighting)

My verdicts :
As Relian Mascara promised,this mascara give bushy eyelash and this was so true!I'm so satisfied with the results and this surpass all my mascara that I own before!

Secondly,what I don't like about the mascara is the fiber which when you apply this onto your eyelash,the fiber will spread out all over my face because not every tiny piece of it did stick onto my lashes but I have a solution which hold a piece of tissue onto upper eyelid when you apply the fiber on upper eyelash and hold a piece of tissue on lower eyes if you applying the fiber on lower lashes.This helps!

Third,this mascara is not a waterproof type which I've been looking for sometime now because most of mascaras I own is waterproof type and hard to wash except with make-up remover.For this mascara,you can easily wash it with cold or warm water but please wet your eyes first with water to let the water absorb into the lashes to make the mascara remove easily.

Fourth,this items comes in a box of handy type which is light and medium in size so you wouldn't like,where I put my mascara since this comes in a set.

Thanks for reading my reviews!Any harsh words,I apologize first...
