Leaders Clinic Clinie (Beauty Clinic Mediheal) Face Masks : Sometimes you just want to wear a mask

May 31, 2012 Paris B 13 Comments

I received a bunch of sheet masks a while ago. It was the Leaders Clinic Clinie masks… and even before I managed to use them all and form a view, the name is now changed to Beauty Clinic Mediheal. I’m not sure what to make of that but I thought it should be mentioned, in case you were looking for the former and only found the latter.

To be honest, I have no idea how one reviews a sheet mask. I have just one of each and I just won’t be able to tell what the effects really are with prolonged use. So what I will do is just give you my initial impressions after using each one. I actually do enjoy using sheet masks. They are a quick and easy pick me up for your skin and are minimum fuss. I like carrying one or two with me when I travel – useful on the plane and/or in the hotel at the end of a long day.

I was given the opportunity to try 7 “flavours” of the Leaders Clinic Clinie (Beauty Clinic Mediheal) sheet masks from Korea, so here are my quick thoughts on each. If you have tried any, please feel free to share your thoughts in the comments too!

Going Natural and getting down to earth with Human Nature Moisturizing Shampoo and conditioner

May 31, 2012 Paris B 47 Comments

Ever since I finished up my Pantene Aqua Light shampoo, my hair has been on a downward spiral. I can’t seem to get anything to work with it for longer than a week. If its not weighing my hair down, it’s making it frizz and drying it out more. I haven’t had that problem for about 3 weeks now though, and it’s thanks to an inexpensive but effective product.

The brand is Human Nature or Human Heart Nature whichever way you want to look at it and this is the Natural Moisturizing Shampoo and Conditioner. There’s no “name” of product per se. That is the name! I will tell you that when it comes to natural products, I honestly never expect them to work – few do for me with any lasting memories/effects. I’ve used a few different brands and I will personally say I’m not about to make that switch to go all-natural (kudos to those who do, but its just not me to).

So when a product that says it is natural, without all that chemical razzmatazz and is affordable (oh yes it is!) I am mildly surprised at best, when it does what it says, without my realizing it.

By George! A-England’s St. George is truly a legend un-Teal the end of time!

A-England was the brand that made me want to start painting my nails again, and that is really no mean feat, considering my impatience and all round klutziness when it comes to nails. I picked up all in The Legends collection when it was released and considered myself done in. Got bored 🙂

But when I was playing dress up recently, I wanted to paint my nails to match my navy blue dress. I wanted a bold shade that complemented the colour of the dress without being too matchy-matchy (My original choice was Tristam). But then, my eye fell on St. George and I thought “Hmm… I seem to have missed using that colour! Let’s see how it fares…”

Your Say: What are your Online Shopping Pet Peeves?

what is your online shopping pet peeve

I do a lot of my shopping online, mainly because its easy. I don’t always have the time to go out and about, trawling the malls, fighting for parking spaces etc so I like to take the easy way out and go online when I know what I want. Part of the reason is also because I like exploring niche brands or products we sometimes can’t find locally.

Last weekend, I came across a good deal for something I wanted at an online store that proudly stated right on the main header that they offered “Free Shipping Worldwide”. I love it when stores offer international shipping. I love it even more when its free international shipping!

So as I do, I checked the Delivery terms to see where they shipped to and there was no list. There was a statement that said “Rest of the world – free” in relation to shipping costs. “Rest of the world” = me here in Malaysia! Worldwide = me here in Malaysia! All was good!

And then I came onto my pet peeve – misleading shipping information.
