Wake Up To A Floral Bouquet With the Melvita Bouquet Floral Clarifying Foam Face Wash

Paris B 26 Comments

Do you like using foaming cleansers? I love them. I derive great satisfaction from squeezing the nozzle and seeing a big dollop of foam in the palm of my hand 😀 Please tell me I’m not alone LOL!

The latest one I’ve been using (and almost finishing up) is this Clarifying Foam from French Organic brand Melvita. This is a face wash formulated for normal-combination skin and contains Narcissus extract to clarify and brighten the skin.

The thing about these foaming cleanser which I discovered after using quite a few, is that some of them can be a little drying on the skin. I don’t know if its the formulation or if the foaming factor but with prolonged use, my skin sometimes feels a bit dry. Not this one however, thank goodness!

Himalaya Herbals Organique Exfoliating Walnut Face Scrub and Purifying Neem Face Wash : Affordable EcoCert Certified Organic Skincare

Paris B 26 Comments

I’ve noticed an interesting trend in organic skincare. We’re starting to find affordable certified organic skincare in our local pharmacies and if you ask me, that’s super! I will be the first to say that I don’t frequent organic grocery stores nor beauty stores that sell only natural or organic products so being able to find properly certified organic products in our local pharmacies is such a boon.

A relatively new player on the scene is the Himalaya Herbals Organique range of organic skincare, certified by EcoCert. EcoCert is supposed to be one of the more stringent certifiers of organic products, and I’ve been told that getting the certification isn’t easy. They also aren’t loathe to take it away if the brand does not comply with their conditions!

The Himalaya Herbals Organique skincare range sits beside their regular range so you will find similar products in both ranges. I don’t think it means that their normal range is any worse, just that if you want an organic alternative, you have it. As an example, both the products I’ll tell you about today – Exfoliating Walnut Face Scrub and Purifying Neem Face Wash – are available in the regular product line up as well as in the organic line up. How do you tell them apart? The regular Himalaya Herbals skincare range comes in white packaging, while the organic range comes in a deep blue-green slim packaging that personally strikes me as being very masculine.

Scrub-a-dub! L’Oreal Perfect Clean Refreshing Foaming Gel Wash with Scrublet

Paris B 42 Comments

I was clearing out my shower caddy when I remembered I’d not blogged about this L’Oreal Perfect Clean face wash. I don’t think its available here in Malaysia but I have seen it in Singapore so that’s the nearest place to go to if you want to get this. Mine was from Superdrug in the UK.

I picked this one up because I’d remembered reading some good reviews about it, and in particular, about the Scrublet. I think I really just wanted it for the scrublet 🙂 What’s the Scrublet you ask? Its that white piece of silicone that you see in the middle of the bottle. Its not so clear from the picture above though.

Worth A Revisit : Eucerin Sensitive Skin PH5 Wash Lotion For Body And Face

Paris B 39 Comments

Some things just don’t seem to need reviewing or writing about, but they are probably the items we use the most often and use UP the most often too. In my case, let me introduce you to the Eucerin Sensitive Skin PH5 Wash Lotion, a face and body wash for sensitive skin. I wrote about this way back in 2007 and although the name has changed a little, here it is again nearly 5 years later! A product with lasting power for this fickle minded female! 😀

eucerin ph5 washlotion body wash review

I don’t have sensitive skin as a rule, but I started using this one a few years back after being introduced to it, and because I saw it on sale at Guardian. Any resolve I have is always weakened by a pharmacy sale 😛 I like to buy the 1000ml bottles when they are on sale, that come free with the smaller bottles of the same wash lotion. I use these everyday anyway, so any saving is always a good thing.

You might be wondering though, why I use this so often, although I love switching body washes? If you look at my shower caddy, its PACKED with hair, body and face washes but I always come back to this one.
