Cheap and Good?

Is the new Melano CC Vitamin C Brightening Premium Essence better than the regular version?

November 29, 2021 Paris B 10 Comments

A little while ago, I shared a brand of Vitamin C serum that I found terribly effective. It was so effective (and affordable) that I was quite loathe to share my little find with everyone. Sometimes, I’m selfish like that.

It was the Melano CC Vitamin C Brightening Essence, or also known as the Melano CC Intensive Anti-Spot essence.

Earlier this year, I was browsing a Japanese website, and stumbled on a new, upgraded version, and decided to buy it to try. All this, without understanding quite what it was, or how it was different. I can be a little impulsive like that 😀

Not very long after I received it, I received a tube from the brand locally, because, as luck would have it, the Melano CC Vitamin C Brightening Premium Essence (aka Melano CC Intensive Anti-Spot Premium Essence as it’s known in Japan) is available in Malaysia!

I’ve almost finished using 1 tube, and truth to tell, I was struggling to form an opinion on it.

Got dry skin? Cleanse without drying your skin with the Natura Chronos Cleansing Cream

November 22, 2021 Paris B 4 Comments

Oh hello! It’s *ahem* been a while I know. Not sure if anyone’s noticed the silence around here, but it’s one of those things that happen from time to time.

I toyed with the idea of taking a break till the new year, before starting afresh, but decided that there really is no better time than the present, if you want to do something. Newton’s First Law dictates that a body at rest will remain at rest, and I feared that might be what’ll happen. I might just forget my login altogether! LOL!

Regardless of my reasons and foibles, I decided to pop back in, and restart with something a little easy – a cleanser.

I’ve been working through my skincare cupboard for a while now, and am happy to report that there is progress (albeit slowly) and one little gem I discovered was the Natura Chronos Cleansing Cream. It is targeted at those with normal to dry skin, which suits me to a T! 🙂

Loving this wallet-friendly Nivea Sun Protect & Moisture SPF50+ PA+++ sunscreen to protect the body from damaging UV rays

October 12, 2021 Paris B 1 Comment

I’m diligent about using daily sunscreen for the face. But truth be told, I’m crap when it comes to the body. Body sunscreen? Meh. That’s how it used to be.

It never bothered me much before, because I was always indoors, out of direct sun. Working in an office for long hours does somewhat turn you into a vampire – I hardly ever saw the sun, and my skin reflected that.

All that changed in the past year. I suddenly found myself with a rambunctious pup on my hands, and a need for him (and I) to be outdoors. I noticed the skin on my arms begin to deteriorate.

I’m much more tanned than I used to be, but aside from that, I noticed also the appearance of freckles on my arms, and the skin looking and feeling incredibly dry.

By the time I realised that I had been too lax about not wearing body sunscreen, it was pretty much too late. All I could do now, is to prevent further damage.

I was using some facial sunscreen on my arms, but I found them too drying. I don’t notice the drying effect on my face, as I wear moisturiser, but on my arms, I noticed it. My skin was being protected, but it was drying out.

When I was browsing an online pharmacy recently, looking to replenish my usual facial sunscreen, I decided to take a look at other sunscreens on offer. My criteria was quite basic. I wanted a sunscreen for the body, that was affordable (I use a lot daily), offered high protection (SPF50+ minimum) and moisturising.

I noticed the Nivea Sun Protect & Moisture SPF50+ PA+++ and it intrigued me.

Tired of sticky hydrating serums? Try the CeraVe Hydrating Hyaluronic Acid Serum

August 25, 2021 Paris B 3 Comments

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the CeraVe products I’ve been using, but I’ll straight-up tell you that I’m on the fence about the CeraVe Hydrating Hyaluronic Acid Serum.

You’d think I’d be falling all over it, seeing as to how I waxed lyrical about the Vitamin C serum, and potentially other products I’ve tried from the brand. Also, it’s a hyaluronic acid serum, which, if you know me, means it’s a staple product in my skincare routine. I’m very big on hydrating serums.

So why am I rather ambivalent about it?

Popped out of my hermitage to visit the amazing Jo Popped out of my hermitage to visit the amazing Jo Malone installation at Mid Valley Megamall 😍 Jo Malone has always made gifting an experience, both for giver and receiver, and this is what their Jobots are here for - to help you find that perfect gift whether for a friend, family, or for yourself each time you manage to dodge the C-bullet 😆
Go check out the Jobots at Mid Valley Megamall Centre Court & experience their signature hand and arm massages, gift boxing, personalised engraving of your perfume bottles & candle jars & play with the vending machine. You could get lucky! 
No prizes for guessing which Jobot installation was my favourite! The one with the dog of course! They also had a key chain with a dog. So. Bloody. Cute!! 
And after so many years finally got a photo with event organizer extraordinaire @cyrus.chin because we didn’t get the white & beige memo and came instead in (unplanned) matching sunny coral instead 😂 
It felt good to have makeup on, dress up and go out for a tiny little bit, and meet people I haven’t seen in literally years! Also to enjoy the scents (hard to smell with a mask on though) and the visual delights. Go check it out. They’re there at the Centre Court until Sunday 3 July.

Not everyday I wear something decent (I still live in crummy t-shirt, shorts & sweaty athleisure most days) so it merited a photo! 😆 
I put on a full face of makeup today and when it came to my eyeshadow, I had a brain fart moment and forgot where they were! 😂 Looked through 3 drawers before I saw them and even then I thought “Did I ever have THIS MANY?!” I guess I do. And before you ask, yes they’re all expired 🫢
