Nett Wt: 40ml
Price: I bought it on sale from Singapore, its about 50% off the usual price
Scent: Citrusy
Color: White
Texture: Gel-creme

I bought 2 bottles of this because it was on huge sale hehehe. (Thanks Bro! He is most probably cursing me for making him buy girly creams from the counters.)
 
My first thought - so pretty! Owww so classy looking too.
I really like this alot.
 
I notice that most Paul and Joe products have a citrusy scent which is very refreshing and calming. The instructions was right, you kinda need about 3 pumps for the face. I use 4-5 for face, neck and shoulders.
 
It spreads and absorbs easily and leaves no stickly feeling. Hence I could proceed with moisturizer almost immediately. It works beautifully with my Vichy day cream. My skin feels really soft and hydrated.
 
With the daily 4-5 pumps I didn't know I've used up one whole bottle!
Because the bottle itself is kinda heavy. So I was always thinking there are more to go. Well one down, and I need to dig out the second bottle..
 
.. because life without this serum sucks! (says my skin lah)
I am currently using rosehip oil + serum from Lelan Vital, and I'm not getting the results I want. Maybe it takes some time to adjust? Maybe its CNY and I haven't been getting enough rest (naughty girl!)?
 
We'll see, once I finish my current ones the second bottle is coming out! :D

Sabai-arom Tamarind & Honey Face Mask  

Posted by: Foxy Frangipani in ,


Sabai-arom Says: 
According to our survey, 99% of you wished you had a naturally translucent complexion. We can`t work miracles but we can share with you this terrific beauty recipe used by generations of Thai women to rejuvenate dull, tired skin.

Tamarind is a fruit that has long been used for its natural exfoliant properties, locals believe it brightens the skin too (this is probably due to its high AHA and Vitamin C content). Honey is widely used in Thai Spa`s to moisturize skin.

Try our clay mask with its honey-flavored scent and see your face brighten and your mood lighten.


How to stay pretty:
Apply an even layer onto your clean damp face, avoiding the eye contour. Leave this effective recipe on for 3 to 5 minutes for the nutrients to fully penetrate your skin. Wipe and rinse off.

Nett Wt: 100g 
Price:  310 Baht (it was on sale I remember)
Scent: TAMARIND :D 
Texture: Creamy
Colour: Light beige

I really like the smell! So much of tamarind the word "foreign" kept popping in my mind each time I use this. And somehow I do feel good just smelling this.

It is very easy to spread on, and it doesn't sting.
No tingling whatsoever, just comfy.

It does tighten slightly after about 5-10 mins (the instruction says 3-5 mins hehe); and washed off easily.  

Hmm I didn't get translucent skin, but after rinsing off my skin does look brightened a little, and nicely moisturized. No complaints here :)

Biore Cleansing Oil  

Posted by: Foxy Frangipani in

I'm in love with cleansing oils.. I feel that they do better at removing makeup compared to cleansing milk..

 

Biore Says:

• Specially-formulated to provide optimum cleansing performance on both dry and wet skin.


• Effectively dissolves and removes long lasting makeup, even waterproof mascara.

• Protective nozzle cap for easy travelling and no cotton pad required.

• Does not clog pores, and gentle and mild on skin.

• Refreshing fragrance.



Foxy Frangipani Says: 

Scent: Fruity.. like Fanta Grape?
Texture: A wee bit runnier than Neutrogena Cleansing Oil 
Nett Wt: 150ml
Colour: Clear 
Price: Got it on sale around RM18

Like it:
- It doesn't sting my eyes
- Removes most makeup, except very stubborn waterproof mascara.
- Doesn't leave an oily film after rinsing, but as a habit, I always follow with a foam wash.
- No breakouts :) 
- Comes with a pump so I control the amount without spills.
- This bottle lasted me a couple of months, evening only use.

Shop For CNY..  

Posted by: Foxy Frangipani in

More excuses to shop. 
CNY must have new bowls, mugs, new things. It means always have.
So look, Daiso opens just in time in Penang ;)


Both the hair brushes work really well. If I must choose, Pink is first :)

And oh, those socks and gloves - sooooo soft and warming. Yeah ok I know this is Malaysia, summer 365. But we have cold rainy days too. And I'm so used to going to bed with warm feet.

Pretty modest buys I must say.. well that's because in a month's time, I'll be bargaining hard in Bangkok! :D

So looking forward to Boots! And this round I plan to explore more of Chinatown, and Khao San Rd. And hopefully Pratunam wholesale market too..
