[REVIEW] theSkintopic Wild Ferns Kiwifruit Body Wash & Body Lotion


Last week I received a call from a Chinese caller, he said "!!^@%&@@#(in chinese)" and I was like "Sorry, you got wrong number" then he switch into Malay and said, "this is Mizu..MizuCHIN right?"

Through the initial, I already know what's there for me and I just agreed coz the uncle asked me to retrieved a parcel at his kopitiam. At his place, the uncle said, "I thought you were Chinese la coz the name on the box  is Mizuchin.."..So I replied, "Uncle, not Mizuchin la, it's MizuCHAN"..haha..XD

I'm quite thrilled to received  the parcel though I actually can guess what's in there...and my guess is right! Two awesome product from theSkintopic! They asked me to review their products and retrieved it at Pavilion but it's too far away from here, so they kindly send me this kiwisomeness products to me! Thank you!

So please let me introduce you to this brand (taken from theSkintopic website);
theSkintopic is a privately-owned company with New Zealand-made beauty and lifestyle products. We focus on retailing selected New Zealand natural skincare, bath and body products and fragrance diffusers. No harmful ingredients, parabens, artificial colours or preservatives are included in any of the products and products are not tested on animals. With approximately 110 SKUs (units) across 3 brands, product categories include:
• Botanical skincare • Bath • Body • Home fragrance • Gift sets

I inserted the download link for the full pamphlets scans at the end of this post :)


The first product they sent me is the 
WILD FERNS KIWIFRUIT SILKY SMOOTH BODY LOTION.
This is a deeply hydrating body lotion containing a blend of Kiwifruit oil and Sweet Almond oil. 
Kiwifruit contain high levels of Vitamin E to optimise skin moisture, and antioxidants for protection from the harsh environment. This indulgent body treatment moisturises, and softens dry and thirsty skin leaving a lingering fragrance of delicious Kiwifruit. 

Size: 250ml/8.45oz





Came in a pump with secure lock! :)


No Paraben, No Mineral Oil and Not Tested on Animals :)


The texture of the lotion is very light and it absorbs easily. It smells really good like the original kiwi! Sweet and calming I would say. Although the lotion absorbs really fast, it leaves my skin moisturize without leaving any sticky feeling or greasy-ness. Just perfect for my non-stop sweating hands because the lotion won't turn soapy even if you wash it :)

I could say that the moisture and the smell last pretty long for me. Even if I wear this for the whole day and after washing hands, I still can notice the lingering smell on my hands and also because there is Almond oil in the ingredient that helps to retain moisture for a long time :)

Other than that, do you know that Kiwifruit contains high levels of Vitamin E to optimise skin moisture and antioxidants for protection from the harsh environment. Who would not want putting antioxidants everyday on skin?haha..and this is just right because of the haze attacking our country. Just yesterday, the haze arrived to my place and I don't even expect that. I seriously feel dizzy when I went out and worried about my skin too. So I stayed at home 'slapping' this lotion all over my body..lol
Just pray that the burning forest at Indonesia will soon over coz I can't imagine to live in this haze for a long time ;(

Priced at RM78.00, you can get this from their outlet! ( All the outlets available can be seen at the end of this post )



The second product they sent me is the
WILD FERNS KIWIFRUIT LIGHT 'N' LUSCIOUS BODY WASH.
A refreshing bath and shower gel containing the beneficial properties and sweet fragrance of Kiwifruit. 
Kiwifruit contains a natural enzyme which acts as a gentle exfoliant to remove dry skin cells leaving your skin soft, smooth and refreshed. 

Size: 250ml/8.45oz






Do you see the tiny seeds from kiwifruits?omg..they really used real kiwi for their products. The seeds can also acts as natural exfoliant to remove dead skin cells other than the enzyme that consist in the kiwifruit :)

Based on the ingredients, there is no Sodium Lauryl Sulphate. This is my first time trying a body wash that is free from SLS. Although Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate also fall into the foaming agent, however, it is a lesser effect that the SLS. So that's why there are hardly any foam appears when I rubbed the soap with water as you can see in the above picture.

The liquid is a bit thick and almost gel-like so I don't have to use much of it to cover my whole body. Usually with normal body wash, I would pump out a lot!haha..

This body wash doesn't make my skin feel tights after wash and it gives a luscious moisture to my skin. Usually my hand palm would feel the driest with other body wash but not with this. Other than that, the smell is almost similar to the body lotion but with a bit of stronger leafy smell. You know that I'm bad at describing smell so what I can say is both of them smells really good!

Priced at RM78.00 and you can get it from the outlets as in the photo below :)

[REVIEW] HiShop May Surprise Box - Scent Affair Fragrant Body Wash


It's HiShop Surprise Box again!
This is for May Special Edition and it just arrived to me yesterday :D
But since no one actually heard the postman came to deliver this, I ask my dad to retrieve 
this parcel at the post office today :)

As usual, with the bright pink box as the trademark ( the size of the box are quite large I must say)
It was heavy when I hold this and wondering what's inside. The HiShop owner actually asked the ambassador to fill out the form to select our preference of the types of products that we wanted but I just saw it today OTL.. so yeah, this is basically a surprise for me since I don't know which brand they'll sent me. haha

I'm a 100% dettol body wash user and I don't change to any other body wash since I was thirteen. It's because my skin is really sensitive. There is once when my body wash is running out and I used my friend's body wash..then oh no..there are rashes appearing..:( So I never really changed body wash after that.
So I'm expecting a lot of this body wash..hehe..:D

 Tadaa, the products are two full sized Scent Affair Bdy Wash in Cucumber & Aloe Vera and Pomegranate :D

Plus, a twisted band in PINK! for my hair ..~yeay! :D

I'm going to review this right away because reviewing body wash doesn't need much time anyway..lol

The first one is the Scent Affair Fragrant Body Wash in Cucumber & Aloe Vera (275ml)

Say Yes To Soothing Skin
Refresh yourself with the cool fragrance of Cucumber infused with moisturizing Aloe Vera. A calming, hydrating bodywash that gently cleanses your skin, helping you to feel pampered and instantly relaxed.
Information
Soothing Aloe Vera and calming Cucumber gives you a natural cleansing and relaxing experience whilst improving skin moisture levels.
Features

  • Anti-Bacterial
  • Moisturising
  • Hydrating
  • Repairs dry skin




The right picture is when I rubbed the soap with water. It doesn't seems to bubble up and the small foam disappear quite fast too. I love the smell, it rather on the fresh side because of the cucumber I guess and the smell reminds me of a lotion. I'm not sure which one it is but it does smells like lotion. I think I can smell the cucumber but not sure about the aloe vera.

The soap itself is light green in color and it doesn't bubble up as I said above. 
I can feel my skin smoother but the soap seems to make my skin feels tight and dry :(
So I don't really agree to their claims which is hydrating and repairs dry skin.

Priced at RM7.80 for 275ml, you can get this body wash HERE

The second one is the Scent Affair Fragrant Body Wash in Pomegranate (275ml)

True to the flawless you
Antioxidant rich pomegranate extracts help to fight free radicals that causes skin damage, leaving your skin feeling irresistibly sexy and silky smooth.
Information
It helps to improve skin moisturisation levels and provides a warm feeling.
Features
  • Anti-Bacterial
  • Moisturising
  • Antioxidant to help fight free radicals
  • Skin feels renewed, soft and healthy


As you can see, the soap bubbles up a lot. I don't know what makes the difference between these two types but this really bubbles up a lot..maybe an extra Sodium Lauryl Sulphate?lol

Compared to cucumber & aloe vera, this body wash have a floral smell to it. Not sure what pomegranate smells like..or do they have smells anyway?

It smells really soft and clean and I love it! I can feel that my skin is smoother after using this but too bad, later than, it cause my skin dryness like the cucumber & aloe vera type :(

The soap is more to peach-colorless color but that doesn't make your body turn out to be that color..lol

A free twistband!If you do purchase in Hishop.my, they will give this for free!

At first I thought the fabric is like satin and it will easily slip off my hair if it is so but it doesn't! wow..
I guess I like this twistband better the body wash..lol

You can get them at Watsons?seriously, where?lol this twistband is too small to be noticed..
