|REVIEW| Dew is Better Than One Recipe: Double Up the Glow

TWO WEEKS TO GO

In another two weeks, we will be celebrating the Chinese Lunar New Year. It has always been a very exciting period for me because not only do I get to meet up with my cousins, I also get to receive Angpaus (red packets in Mandarin). But this year, things are a little different and I'm now on the giving end (I got married on New Year). Hopefully, nobody wants to meet up now due to the COVID-19 situation *evil smile*. Well now, let's see how we can look our best for the upcoming festive season, shall we?

READING MORE NOW

I have been pushing myself to read more and speak up more recently. Reading more is easy because I have always loved reading, just that I have gotten lazy over the years especially since I started working. So if you have any good books to share, don't be afraid to share with me via email! Speaking up more is a little harder because I was somehow trained to lock this trait away when I was younger (I used to be a very noisy girl haha). But I'm gonna do it, just like how I am going to do my review now.

STARTING A NEW JOB

I have recently landed a new job at another big 4. I know, I know, it's basically jumping from one fire pit to another fire pit. But hey, on the bright side, I am getting a good pay with decent benefits! Plus now I can tell people the differences of working in two of the biggest accounting firms in the world! So if you are interested in knowing more about working in EY vs in PwC, feel free to shoot me an email and I'll get back to you the soonest I can. Now, onto the review, shall we?

|REVIEW| By Wishtrend Quad Active Boosting Essence: Serum Booster

STILL STUCK AT HOME
It has been three weeks now and MCO is still in effect. I think I'm actually an introvert because I feel totally fine for not having to leave my house. The only downside to this is I am unable to meet my friends and most importantly, my boyfriend 😕. Not normally a clingy girlfriend but hey, this is the first time we have ever been apart for this long. Not exactly a fan of LDR I guess, eh? I'm in this dilemma where I wish time would move slower so I can continue to work from home and at the same time wish it can speed up so I can meet him ASAP. 🤪

UNDER A LOCK DOWN?
I am writing this amidst the Covid-19 pandemic which has placed Malaysia under a Movement Control Order (MCO) for 14 days. I have been staying home for the past week with my parents. Different from a lock down, we are still allowed to go out at any time with specific reasons such as to get food supplies. At this moment, I am terribly awed by some of those selfish Malaysians who just cannot grasp the purpose of the MCO. Sigh. So, how about we get distracted a little and read a review?

REALLY LONG
Isn't that a really long name for a mask? Recently been trying to read more and I stumbled upon a book by Trevor Noah, "Born A Crime". Well, actually it was introduced to me by my boyfriend haha. It was so interesting read that I finished it in 2 days. It was more like an autobiography and man, that was a book that really opened my eyes, after Eat Pray Love. I am going to write a review on the book soon, something I haven't done in so long!

|REVIEW| Dear Klairs Rich Moist Soothing Tencel Sheet Mask

STRESS-RELATED ACNES

I recently realised that my acne issue is seasonal and is 100% due to the stress caused by my work schedule. I had been having really bad acnes during the first half of the year, which subside and totally recover in the second half of the year. When it nears the end of the year, the entire cycle repeats itself and it collides perfectly with the stress level at work! TT But I don't really feel stressed physically! Is that how my body is telling me I should start paying more attention to the stress?

My way of tackling stress at the moment: MASKING. And blogging. LOL.

|REVIEW| Dear Klairs Midnight Blue Calming Cream: My Saviour

SKIN, DO ME A FAVOUR
There are days where my skin just cannot be nice to me. It acts up and becomes itchy and red. So often I don't know what to do other than just put on my regular skincare products and go to bed, wishing that all the redness would go away before the morning comes. Yet, wishes don't always come true. Sleeping in air-conditioned room doesn't help either. So I searched up and down for a solution and I stumbled upon the Klairs Midnight Blue Calming Cream.

p.s. Klairs is a cruelty-free Korean beauty brand, learn more about Klairs here.

|DEALS| Major Make-Over at Wishtrend: Lots of Promotion!

SOME THOUGHTS

There is one thing that I love about the idea of 'upgrading'. The anticipation of something new and better and any surprises that come along with it is very exciting and fun. At least that was what I felt when I found out from a little birdie that Wishtrend Wishtrendis doing an upgrade to their website! I was told that there will be upgraded beauty contents accompanied by newly launched products (what I really was excited for haha).

Just got back from Malacca after meeting a new friend!

I'M READY FOR MORE

Lately I've been eyeing some products on my favourite online beauty store, Wishtrend. Don't really have a fat pay check to let me get all of them without feeling extremely guilty (and having to starve for the last week of the month 😂) so I'm just waiting for an opportunity to grab them all at a discounted price. #feelme? The opportunity has finally presented itself and I just couldn't wait to tell you guys all about it!

Wishtrend Cruelty-Free Brand Week Discount: What to Buy?

CAN BUY MORE

Who doesn't love discounts? I turn straight into a crazy shopaholic when I see a good discount because it allows me to buy more with the same amount of money. Especially discounts that support a good cause. My little birdie from Wishtrend recently told me that, to support the animal rights movement, Wishtrend will be having its very first Cruelty-Free Brand Week campaign! This sounds exciting! The event will open for only one week, which is from 24 May to 31 May 2018. 

|REVIEW| By Wishtrend Pure Vitamin C 21.5 Advanced Serum: So High

SO SOON, ANOTHER ONE THIS YEAR!
I had a good experience with the C20 Original Pure Vitamin C20 Serum (now known as TIAM My Signature C-Source) which I was using just earlier this year. Frankly, I didn't finish the bottle, also my first bottle. When I was at my last 5ml, the solution became really yellowish, i.e. super oxidised, because I didn't keep it in the fridge *regret*. I'm a lazy girl and the fridge is simply too 'far' from my room HAHA! So I threw it away before I actually finished it, hence the lack of a proper review here. So this one now is kind of a compensation! I will compare this new Vitamin C 21.5 Serum to my old C20 and let you know what I think about them!

GROWING A GARDEN
It’s been almost three weeks now since I got this By Wishtrend TECA 1% Barrier Cream. This is By Wishtrend’s latest product and I seriously cannot be any more excited, especially since it targets acne prone skin! If you have been reading my latest few posts (read reviews on Belif and Freeman) and comparing them to my older posts (read reviews on FROMNATURE and Klairs), you may have noticed that my skin is currently a pimple garden growing in progress. 😢

|REVIEW| Mother's Day Gift Idea: I'm From Ginseng Serum

START WRINKLE CARE AT YOUR 20s

I'm 22 and I'm here introducing you a wrinkle improvement product. A wrinkle product that I actually think is good. As a K-beauty addict I've been educated by so many other believers to start wrinkle care as early as I can. When Wishtrend offered me the opportunity to review this I'm From Ginseng Serum, I took it without turning back. 

So, sit back, relax and enjoy while I experiment the serum on some of my fine line for you. Just so you know, as much as I love to review skincare products for you, I still feel very insecure about showing you closeups of my skin. You know about my best friend right? It'll be great if you could let me know whether the closeups are helping your decisions! Just a simple "Yes, it helps!" in the comment section below would totally make my day.

I'm From Ginseng Serum: Pre-Review Introduction

Does the brand sound familiar to you? 

Yes! This is the brand which is known for its highly raved Honey mask! Its products went viral not just because of their good quality but also of I'm From's promises to have ingredient transparency, honest materials and no harmful additives. To continue to wow us, Wishtrend has just recently started selling a new line from I'm From, i.e. the Ginseng line, and one of the highlights is this Ginseng Serum.
