The Belated March Favourites + Short Review White Perfect Night Cream

Hello, is April now...wow, time flies.
Work has been more hectic than previous month. My sister in law just gave birth, we all have a new born in our house.

I've pretty much stick with my skincare regime but I did tried a new skincare product, salad recipe and exercises.

As for the skincare, I really enjoy using the Loreal White Perfect Night cream as part of my night time routine.
White Perfect Night Cream contains a breakthrough ingredient - Melanin Vanish™, 1 drop 50X more powerful, which helps to inhibit melanin production at the source. Night after night, spots are reduced, skin looks fairer and more radiant.
adapted from Loreal.com

Volume: 50ml
Price: range between MYR 28-30
Texture: light watery lavender color cream
Scent: soothing scent, nothing floral.

Review: I find that the cream itself is not too heavy for my skin type, it just nicely hydrates and brightens my complexion. As usual, I will apply my Cellnique toner, skin action sebum gel then top up with the night cream. Like my previous night time skincare routine, I always use water gel cream, it hydrates but not enough. I still notice and feel my skin tugging every morning after cleansing. Some times I see flakes around my cheek/ chin, it truly helps a lot. My skin texture seems to be more supple and more stable, less redness.


As for salad recipe, I mainly make this version. Less carbo, less salt, less fat... More vege and healthier


Ingredients:

  • cherry tomatoes / vine ripe tomato
  • toasted walnuts
  • sunflower seeds
  • sesame (black)
  • bread crumbs (if needed)
  • blueberry (if needed)
  • raisin (if needed)
  • lettuces/ alfafa/ crunchy leafy vege
Dressing:
  • plain vanilla yogurt
or any sort of dressing you prefer. I just think using mayonnaise is fatty.

The last item is exercise. I don't believe that just by control the food intake and omit exercise can loose weight. At least, exercise helps burn fat, strengthen muscles, joints. When I was checking for diet plan, I came across this blog Blogilates. She is such an inspiration. Although some of the workout is ''torturing'', it is truly worth it when you see the results. I've still have lots of workout to learn, but part of my favourites are Call Me Maybe Squats and Drive By Inner Thigh. OMG..... my leg muscle sores until now.... Haha... 

I hope it is not too late for me to post my March favourites. I will do some products review tomorrow and keep finger cross, I will do some EOTD or FOTD.

Have a nice day!



Review: Cellnique Soothing & Hydrating Lotion

Hello lovely ladies out there.... I'm off from work today and the 10days new born in my house is well behave today. I decided to do a review and my thoughts for the toner that I'm currently using. Even hubby is obsessed with it!


I do enjoy and love Cellnique products because I found that their products heal and help my skin very much.  It really soothes my sensitive skin and hydrate it. I like the refreshing ginger scent, not too over powering and it acts like an antiseptic for my skin when it has invader(s) = acne!


Most of the active ingredients have the antiseptic properties. I enjoy using this before and after my makeup and after blotting. The refreshing scent gives the skin and mind a really nice boost. Normally I spray 3-5 times for my entire face, depends on my skin condition. I only spray toner on my face, I seldom use cotton pad to put on toner, unless the toner is in a thicker consistency.


The item itself has a very simple yet practical packaging. So when consumer purchased the item, we are actually buying the quality and the product instead of the packaging. I'm getting less addicted with cute packaging for my skin. As long as the product serve me well, I'm happy enough.

Here's the summary of products details:
Price: RM79
Volume: 200ml
Scent: Ginger
Color: Pale yellow
Texture: watery
Skin type: Perfect for all skin type

For more information on the product, please visit the link attached.

Overall, I really like the toner, a bottle normally can last me about 2-3months, depends the how frequent I reached it per day. I'm on my 3rd bottle now, I really convinced by the quality of this toner after getting more and more compliment on my skin. Tell you what, my hubby always steal my toner till 1 day, I got him 1 bottle for himself. At 1st he is a bit reluctant to try and to use, but after the skincare treatment I provided, he loves it ALOT. Now, he is a loyal fans to this toner.

Have a nice day! Do give it a try!

Weight Loss: Step 1 Planning Meal

Hello.... I've decided to start my 2013 weight loss program. I'm hoping that by the month of Aug I will manage to shed of at least 5kg. I've joined a weight management program last year, a community service organized by The Board of Malaysia Pharmacist. The program last about 3 months and I managed to reduce 3kg. In addition, I also practice yoga and it feels soooooo good.

This year, I decided to plan my own weight loss program. I've bought some supplements such as Lecithin and fat burner powder.
Lecithin will help to increase fat metabolism
Fat Burner taste like hot chocolate drink, this will help to burn fat (not sure how it will works)

Haha... I will monitor my weight for 3weeks from now onwards.

Here's my 1st step:
these are the food of my choice after considering my working routine

Morning Breakfast

  • 1 hard boiled egg + Fat Burner (chocolate Drink)
  • 2 slices whole meal bread (with peanut butter & fruit jam)
  • pancake + bacon
  • Nestle cereal with skim milk


Lunch

  • 1/2rice with stir fried vegetables + 1 fish (steam fish preferably)
  • fried vermicelli (meehun)
  • noodles
  • spaghetti


Dinner
keep it as light as possible

  • fat burner drink with oat
  • salads (fruits/ vegetables)
  • soups (avoid creamy/starchy)

Lips Food with Dark Chocolate & Peppermint?

Hello..... Hmmmmmmm.... who doesn't love Dark chocolate & peppermint, perfect combo!
But. Wait. It is now in form of lipbutter. How nice is that!

After watching the monthly favourite from Zoella I decided to give it a try. I like lipbalm, especially the handy version, no fingers dipping in and out, on and off from the tin. 
Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula always have really nice things to try and the signature cocoa scent is a yay for me, but nay for those who hate sweet cocoa scent.





Item retails for around RM11-13 depends which drugstore you're visit to.
I like the slanted application part, makes life so much easier, not a problem at all if you got no mirror.

It leave a cool minty hint on the lips, it feels nice. Haha! The lip butter is translucent but give a nice glossy finish, look great even apply on its own. I like to use this during night time, as a lip therapy. I love to put on a thick layer, it doesn't feel sticky at all. The next morning, no more flaky dry lips... Hurray!

Lastly.... have fun trying tasty lipbalms.... I know Smackers has lots .... hehe!
