The Innisfree My Makeup Cleanser – Melting Balm helps you take the day off affordably

December 17, 2018 Paris B 3 Comments

I love it when friends introduce me to their favourite products that I might never think of trying. Better still when said friend is a skincare junkie who knows her stuff, and who shares my preferences for textures. So, when I found the Innisfree My Makeup Cleanser – Melting Balm in my birthday gift pack, I was very intrigued.

Innisfree My Makeup Cleanser - Melting Balm

Innisfree, as most of you are aware, is an affordable range of skincare from Korea under the very big Amore-Pacific umbrella, that also houses popular brands like Laneige and Sulwhasoo.

The primary reason I was gifted this, and why I was so intrigued that I immediately included it into my evening skincare routine is this – it’s a cleansing balm. And boy do I love cleansing balms! 😀

Whether you’ve been Naughty or Nice there is a Lilin + Co Christmas Candle with your name on it

Some days, you trot out your Diptyque and Jo Malone scented candles. On other days, you luxuriate in a beautiful scented room, without having to sell an organ or a limb LOL! I can safely say that one of the better locally made, affordable soy scented candles I’ve encountered to date is by Lilin + Co. I’d told you about them before this so you can have a little read.

I recently met the owner at a local bazaar, where she (I believe) took a chance to call out to me, and we had a nice short chat. It’s always nice putting faces to names in email! 😀 They do sell at the artisanal bazaars around the Klang Valley like Riuh, so keep a lookout for them, if you go there. You can have a sniff at the candles, so you know what to expect.

Not long after, she offered for me to try their special edition Lilin + Co Naughty or Nice Christmas candles. and I must say that they are quite lovely! Lilin + Co have also kindly offered a discount code, so if you still need to finish off your Christmas shopping, or just want to buy something nice for yourself to help you cope with the year-end stress (I often feel more stressed and frazzled at the year end than at any other time of year!) this is your chance! 😉

The Inkey List Hyaluronic Acid is not in the least bit ordinary!

November 21, 2018 Paris B 10 Comments

The Inkey List is a brand new budget skincare brand on the block. When I shared how impressed I was with their Turmeric cream moisturiser, I also told you that I plan to have a very big overview post to come. I still plan to do so. But I also wanted to tell you about The Inkey List Hyaluronic Acid, because I felt it noteworthy.

By now, most of us will be familiar with this skincare ingredient. But if you aren’t, hyaluronic acid is an ingredient which helps bind and hold moisture, which in skincare products, help hydrate and plump up the skin. Many skincare products these days contain this ingredient.

I am very big on maintaining skin hydration, so for me, a lotion or serum with hyaluronic acid is a must in my skincare routine. I’ve also shared my tip on how best to use a hyaluronic acid serum effectively.

Naturally therefore, I had to try The Inkey List Hyaluronic Acid serum! 🙂

I tried the Pixi Hydrating Milky Mist and Pixi Vitamin Wakeup Mist and discovered I really love one of them!

You know I love my facial mists, and I’d been curious about the mists from Pixi for a while. But it wasn’t until I had a few people recommend them to me, that I took a look. I added the Pixi Hydrating Milk Mist and the Pixi Vitamin Wakeup Mist to my stash while on one of my online shopping jaunts to see what the fuss was about.

You can now get Pixi Beauty at Sephora stores, but I’m hardly ever at Sephora, so I prefer to just get them online.

Pixi has a few different mists in their collection, but for a start, I decided to try 2. Just to see how I’d like them. I have to say though, that they absolutely lived up to my expectations! 🙂
