[REVIEW] Dwi Dara Collagen Complex


Hi sweeties! 

Beauty supplements are not a rare scene in Malaysia and it was a big deal here since everyone wanted to look young on the outside and at the same time benefit the inside. The collagen is mostly extracted from the fruits making it safe and halal to consume.

So today, I'll be reviewing this "Collagen Complex" from Dwi Dara Resources which is extracted from fruits that are good for both skin and body. The collagen are in liquid form which is separated in 20 sachets per box. Unlike the other collagen that need to be added water before it can be consume, this collagen doesn't require that step because it's just tear and drink, making it easy to bring anywhere and be consume at any time.

Brand : Dwi Dara
Company : Dwi Dara Resources
Price : RM130(WM) / RM140(EM) / BRD 75 / SGD 75
Quantity per box : 20ml x 20 sachets

Main ingredients.

Benefits in Bahasa.

Functions of the collagen.


I took a sachet everyday in the morning or sometime at night before consuming any food because based on the direction, it is better consumed before any meal. It's better not to skip even a day of consuming the collagen for better result.

The collagen taste good and one thing that I notice about the taste is that date has the dominant taste of the collagen followed by honey and a little bit of lemon for the aftertaste. 

The fact that the collagen itself came in a sachet that doesn't require adding water makes it is perfect for travel and be consumed at any time. The sachet itself is very light and suit to be kept in bags :D
Pregnant or lactating mothers can also consumed this collagen and it is suitable for 16 years old and above including men who are concern about health and beauty :)

20 sachets can last about less than a month(if you're taking it daily) and about less than a month I tried this, I could say that it does lessen my breakout. To actually see the result such as lessening in pimple scars, wrinkles, big pores and those big matters, a box might be a little for that so I can't really tell. However, lessening breakout is actually a big deal for me. To actually experienced less breakout makes my older pimples heal faster, making my face clean and looks nice when putting on makeup :D

Overall, I recommend this for you to try and see what it did especially to those who had the problems above :)

Thank you for reading :)

[REVIEW] Lalavesi Akma Cushion "AKCU X-MAS" Special Limited Edition + F.W/Y6 2016 Classic



I don't believe that I finally fell for this cushion. I saw lots of blog reviews and raves about this especially for it's case designs. Lalavesi released this X-Mas Limited Edition last year and this year, they made a little change on the design and I found this new version sold in testerkorea. Since I did purchase this quite late, which is a week before Christmas celebration, I didn't expect this to be arrive this year, since testerkorea usually will take time to ship parcels but I'm glad that I be able to see this arrived before I move to another state to work.

Initially I can't decide if I should choose either this or the "Ice Cute" edition since it is in pink and this one is red. Both are my favourite colors but then I go for the new one, of course. Lalavesi even sent an X-Mas bag filled with this X-Mas Special Limited case and my chosen base, F.W/Y6 2016 Classic!

If you aren't familiar with the formula of these Akma Cushions (SS, SF & FW) in Classic or Natural, I suggest you to go here since she talk in details about those three formulas. I was confused about those things and with her help, I finally decided to go for FW (For Winter) in Classic in the shade Y6. It's because my skin is pretty dry lately and I'm looking for mostly super moisturizing formula for my skin because of that. Currently, this design is sold out in the Lalavesi page.


Renew version of 2014, "AKCU X-MAS" Special Limited Edition
Formula : F.W (For Winter)
Type : Classic
Color : Y6
Content : 20g
Production : Made in Korea
Price : 24,000 won @ testerkorea [for case and cream]

I was given samples for all of the formula which I'm not sure what color it is. The case and my chosen formula came in a different box.

The formula in summary and there are Classic/Natural that you can choose. Classic had more coverage and Natural has less coverage and more natural looking.





Even the box itself is super pretty :)

Anti-bacteria puff <3

With little pamphlet explaining about the designs for the cushion.

Just how cute is that? It's all red on the sides! :D

New formula, improved version.

How to change refill.


There is LALAVESI word printed on it, not sure if its visible in this picture.

So much of the devil inside XD



  
I just HAVE to compare with my Laneige BB Cushion since it is my perfect match. Clearly Y6 is still lighter than my skin. It's even lighter than HERA Age Reverse Cushion, review here.


Consistency:
It's a bit watery in texture compared to a few cushions that I have which included the Laneige cushion.

Finish:
It has a dewy finish as you can see in the picture above.

Oil control:
I had expected that this won't have the best oil control out there since the finish itself is dewy and would not suit oily skin the best. However, since I said that my skin is really dry since last month, I still like the fact that it gives me moisture.

Color: 
Y6/FW is supposed to be the darkest color for the cushion and it still too light for me. However, I heard that there are a bit difference in color if compared to SS, SF or FW and it seems that in one of these types do have a darker Y6 color. So, there is inconsistency in colors according to the type that you chose.

Coverage:
Y6/FW has a medium to high coverage even with just one application. It builds up well too and since the coverage is quite good so it won't look as natural on the face. It still have the "you-wear-something-on-the-face" thing.

Color transfer:
The finish is dewy and it has high color transfer compared to cushion that is matte in finish which means that if you touches your skin or just wanted to blot the extra shine/oil, the color transfer or traces will be much visible.

Oxidize:
It will oxidizes a little but it doesn't completely disappear after a long day especially on my nose because any foundation/cushion or BB/CC that disappear from the nose is a huge issue for me! XD

Breakout:
Didn't notice any after a few times of trying.

Fragrance: 
Just a little bit but I can't figure out what smell it is but it will disappears after a while.

Overall:
I like it so much since it save me from my current dry/flaky skin. It has up and down and I probably be using this daily since it might be too heavy for daily use because of the coverage and hot weather here.

I rate this:


Thank you for reading, I'm sorry that there is no before/after picture for this review since I don't have my camera with me right now T_T
