Review - Loreal Elseve Smooth-Intense Ultra Rich Leave-in Mask

This orange cube is really adorable, on top of that, it says "For VERY DRY & UNTAMABLE Hair" on its label. I have very dry and untamable hair. So I bought this.

This is a leave-in conditioner, which means you dont need to rinse it off after applying it. Besides that, it also claims that it is "anti-frizz" and "anti-volume". The cream is orange-color and apricot scented.

Though there are a lot of feedback saying how good this product is, I hate to say it doesnt suit me. I guess Loreal products just do not suit me. I have tried its hydrafresh series and also its cleansing milk, but they did not work on me. For this leave-in mask, it does not tame my hair. I still have fluffy hair after using it. I also get itchy scalp when I use this. Maybe it is just my hair.

Review - Watsons Strawberry & Kiwi Yogurt Mask

Bought these two boxes of masks a while ago, when Watsons was having a promotion on its masks. These 2 boxes of masks was selling at RM15. One box of the yogurt mask contains 6 tubes of 15ml mask. Watsons has made the tubes to look like the yogurt tubes that we eat, which is kind of interesting.

So, the strawberry mask for Deep Cleansing and Moisturizing, and the Kiwi mask is for Brightening and Moisturizing. For the texture of the mask, it is nothing like yogurt, but is something like an oily paste, like mayonnaise.


There is plenty of 'paste' in each tube of mask. I dont think anyone can use one tube of mask at one time for a mask session. It would be too sinfully oily. One tube can supplies 3-4 mask sessions.

Overall, I find this mask too oily for me. The first time I applied it, I had breakout in the next morning. Maybe it was because I did not clean it nicely. Even my housemates who I offered the mask for them to use (since there was plenty left), also complained that the mask is too oily. It took time to rinse off the mask, it is not easily rinse-off. After rinsing it, I could feel the oil lingering on my face.

Both masks accomplished their properties, as they are very moisturizing. For strawberry, it says "deep cleansing" and "brightening" for the kiwi mask. I did not feel any deep cleansing effect after application of the strawberry mask. Instead, I found it rather "not clean" because my face was oily after rinsing the mask off. While for the "brightening", there was a tiny bit of brightening effect which I could feel on my face.

I would recommend this mask for those hardworking people. It does not suit me because I am too lazy. I only apply mask, when I have the mood. Since you cannot keep this mask for long once it is opened, so you need to finish off the mask within 2 weeks. I would not buy this mask again as I am now having problem on how to finish the rest of the tubes.

New Home for my Buffalo Hard Disk

This a cute cover that my friend, Hui Shan helped me to buy. She bought it from Pacific Megamall, Butterworth @ RM6.90. Now, my hard disk is pampered. My Buffalo fits perfectly in this fabric cover. I am not sure about what kind of animal is sewed on the fabric, I think it is a doggy, with side ears.

Review - Skinvitals C-Brighten Mask

Skinvitals is a brand from Australia. According to the sales assistant, it contains less chemicals compared with other brands. This mask is selling at Rm7.88 per pc at Guardian. It says cloth facial treatment mask on the package, while most of the sheet masks use paper as base. It contains Vitamin C and ginger extract which is good for tired skin, especially for those who always stay up late at night.

Once I opened the package, the cloth mask is full of mask essence, very watery. It is true as the other review said that this mask is too wet and not very comfortable. I did feel uneasy while applying this mask, it could be due to I have not been applying sheet masks for ages.

I applied the mask before I slept. The next day, I felt my face was brighten a bit. I might buy this mask again. If there is a promotion.

What a 'fishy' day!

Today I 'ponteng kerja', I went for a fishing trip with my housemates and her colleaugues. I know you might think, what the heck? take leave to go fishing? Hehe..Since my company wants us to take 4 days leave this quarter, and I have no plan on how to use the leaves, so I went fishing! This is my first fishing experience. I must say it is a very enjoyable one.

We woke up at 5am to make sandwiches. Then 7am, had breakfast in Leong Kee Tea Garden Restaurant. The Dim Sum that we had was nice.

Then, we went to the wet market near Cintra Street. We bought Ikan Kembong and Sotong as our bait.

Headed to Tg Bungah, the beach was beautiful! Show off our high-tech fishing gear:

First thing first, set up our fishing rods.

1. Locked in the fishing reel, 2. Put in the fishing line (string), 3. Tied the sinker, 4. Connected the hook. 5. Hooked the fishing bait.

Then, we started fishing. Yay, let me introduce the players. Seew Lang and Yee Hwa are my housemates. While Tye Leong, Jeffrey and Shi Gong are Yee Hwa's colleaugues.

First, we got to tried on the fishing rods. We all hooked our bait and then dropped the lines into the sea. Skills are needed in throwing the bait, so that the bait could get into the deeper area instead of the shore.

Pro-level Tye Leong and Shi Gong in action:

Amateur-level Seew Lang and Yee Hwa:

Fishing is an activity which test one's patience, Jeffrey was K.O.'ed in the first round. He rather stayed under the tree and read books.

After awhile, Tye Leong got the first fish of the day! Good job!

Then, it was netty time! Shi Gong taught us patiently on how to use the net to catch fish. The net was very heavy..


A poor little fish was ended up in the net. Blame Yee Hwa!

We had a break at 10am, had our homemade sandwich, drinks and snacks. Then, we continued to fool around. After getting the fish hook caught up in my head (I was doing some cow-boy stunt to throw the bait, and the hook got tangled up with my hair! ). I got tired, so I quitted the game. I stayed under the tree and chilled-out with Jeffrey, the rest continued their quest for the fish at the rocks near the shores. They caught two fish there.

Tye Leong was the man! He caught 2 fish. Yee Hwa 1 and Shi Gong 1. So, all together 4 fish. We also caught some 'lala' from the shores.

I am so tired. Going home tomorrow, need to sleep early. It was a great outing and I wish to do it again. Thanks Yee Hwa and the gang for inviting me.

Skin after 25 Years

Today I was looking at HK artist Erica Yuen's video at youtube. In this video, she introduced a product called Squalene. The Squalene product seems very seducing, however that is not the main point. She mentioned what happen to our skin after we approach 25 years old.

You might not know, I just passed my 26th birthday. I am over 25!

According to Erica, before 25 y.o., we do not need to take care of our skin a lot. However, after 25 y.o., skin will start to discharge a lot of oil that you cant control. That is so me, I thought. Cos nowaddays, my face is so oily, especially at the sides my nose. Before that, it is not like this! Could it be because I took the bitter gourd drink ?

After 25 y.o., our face will start to age in a rapid way. And our face will not be able to hold the moisture as good as before.

Another important point is, all the time, we have been looking for products which can heal our skin, make our skin look good. But have we ever think, our outer skin is actually damaged? Will our skin be able to absorb the things that we apply on it?

And I start to think, the chemicals that we put on our face, is it really good for our skin? Even though some skin products give miracle results. Are these results temporary? Do them just suppress all our skin problem, and push it down beneath our skin?

This is something I thought of today.

Review - Go Care Matte Look POWER Molding Clay

This is my secret for nice and neater fringe. Actually, I dont mind my hair to be naturally curly, but I really hate my fringe! I can not have those cute straight fringe that covers my forehead. And, can you imagine a curly side fringe? It will look so retro, like this picture!


This is a molding clay that I bought from a hair saloon, I think 2 years ago. And I am still using it. I guess I will never finish it. You only need a tiny little clay (see below picture) for ur fringe and to tame the frizz. The texture of the product is a very thick mud, way thicker than any mud masks.

To use the clay, use finger to "stick" up a little bit of clay, then apply it on hair. Press and style the fringe as you wish. I use it to style my side fringe. It works to make my fringe tidier, and stay nicely on my forehead.


What to do, why dont I have straight hair :(
