I was sent the Filorga NCEF-Night Mask, and was intrigued, because it posed me a challenge. Use it for 7 days (nights) straight, and see the results!
Why, of course, I did!
I never back down from a challenge 😉
Well, what might you expect to see after 7 nights? Or even after just 1 night?

Here’s an interesting local development that I thought to highlight, since many of us are avid online shoppers, who shop online both locally and from overseas.
I have been shopping online from numerous overseas websites for a long time, as I do what most consumers do – look for the best deals. And we do get a lot of good deals online from international ecommerce stores. I’d done so much of it, I’d shared a comprehensive article about my experience shopping online from international websites, and how we are affected by import tax.
As of now, our tax threshold for personal purchases made online (or as they say, ‘imported’) is RM500. Barring certain categories of items, purchases of RM500 and below aren’t taxable. So, shopping smart is key.
But all that’s changing come 1 January 2023 🙁
Continue ReadingAfter 2.5 years of not wearing makeup, and then having to head back into society again (albeit hesitantly), I came to an awful realization. My makeup was only fit for a museum.
All the lovely bottles and powders I had had expired, or were in varying stages of expiry. It was a bit of a rude awakening, I must say.
It isn’t to say of course, that I wasn’t going to use some of the products – I operate within tolerances and I push my luck 😛 – but I saw a foundation in the No. 1 de Chanel range and I thought “I want that!”
So, when the opportunity arose for me to test it out in person, I caved and got a bottle of the No. 1 de Chanel Revitalizing Foundation. It was quite gratifying for me to find out that my shade remained the same! LOL!
It’s also been one of my better beauty buys to date! 😀

I tried some products on a whim via an online purchase, and I’ve been impressed with them all thus far. If anything, I’m keen to try more! The latest product to impress me is the Evolve Organic Beauty Multi Peptide 360 Moisture Cream.
While I’m not rabid about using natural products for my skincare, I do enjoy using good quality natural brands for creams and moisturisers. I tend to focus on using serums that are packed with active ingredients, and for me, a moisturiser or a cream serves to seal in the goodness of the serums.
Having tried many types of textures and creams from different brands, I’ve found that a well formulated natural-based moisturiser or cream usually works well for my skin. I think it is to do with the way the ingredients are blended together, and the type of ingredients that are used. The texture usually appeals better to me.
Having already tried 2 Evolve Organic Beauty products in the past (the Gentle Cleansing Melt, and the Daily Renew Facial Cream) I had high hopes for the Multi Peptide 360 Moisture Cream, and I’m happy to report that it did not disappoint at all! 😀
