Trying a local brand and an interesting new facial oil in the Root Remedies Black Seed Oil

Paris B Leave a Comment

I kept seeing Instagram ads for a local brand Roots Remedies, to the point that I was intrigued. I guess you could say that ads work eh?

What really intrigued me was the fact that Root Remedies is a local Malaysian brand, and they had beautiful, minimalist aesthetics, that is so in right now.

One day, while in Bangsar (when we could walk around and dine indoors even with restrictions), I chanced upon their store. Yep, they aren’t only sold online, but in a physical store too. It is a beautiful store, with a very minimalist look and feel and a very soothing place to be in (albeit a little warm from the sun).

After browsing a little, I decided to pick up an item or two to try. When I polled Instagram, I found reviews to be rather mixed on the brand so I thought it would be interesting to have a go myself. Their range of facial oils intrigued me (I love me a good facial oil!) so that’s what I went for – the Root Remedies Black Seed Oil.

For long-lasting hydration, Antipodes Baptise H2O Ultra-Hydrating Water Gel is a superstar especially in warm weather

I once declared that Antipodes skincare can do no wrong in my eyes.

I’ve yet to find a product that has proven that statement wrong! OK granted, I wasn’t too big a fan of Halo mud mask, but it still was a decent product.

So, when Antipodes launched Baptise H2O Ultra-Hydrating Water Gel, I knew we were in for a treat!

I wasn’t too far wrong. But there are a couple of caveats 🙂

The new L’Occitane Immortelle Reset Triphase Essence is a lovely way to soothe irritated skin if used as suggested

I’m currently the most out-of-touch beauty blogger in the entire universe of beauty blogging. I’m still only starting to use products that were ‘newly launched’ a year ago, and I’m not even doing full-on routines for a while now. I think the whole pandemic has gotten to most of us in one way or another, hasn’t it? At least, that’s my excuse.

But recently, I was gifted with a new product, the L’Occitane Immortelle Reset Triphase Essence, and I was intrigued enough to slot it straight into my routine.

Incidentally, there was a lot of interest in this, when I shared about it on Instagram, so here it is 🙂 Incidentally, it’s one I suggest that you use as suggested, instead of being too clever about it and using it in a different manner, as I usually do 😛

When I head outdoors, I slap on Avene Very High Protection Sports Fluid Sunscreen on my body for sun protection

I have my favourite sunscreens for the face, but if there’s one part of the body I tended to neglect (alongside others), is my arms. It wasn’t until I noticed that I was developing 2-toned arms from my morning walks, that I sought to take some action. Better late than never eh?

Not wanting to use the Avene Very High Protection Mineral Cream on my arms, I went to the pharmacy to see what I could get, and my eye fell on the Avene Very High Protection Sport Fluid. I think I was just suckered in by the words “Very High Protection” LOL! 😛

Anyway, I didn’t pay to much attention to it, whether it was a chemical or physical formula, although I lean to the latter for my face.
